Surprise! The Crown Princess drives a mecha into the battlefield

After Si Yuchen disappeared, Si Yijing has been stationed in Yanguan.

His duty is to guard Yanguan for his brother.

Just when everyone was anxious, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the tent.

A messenger rushed into the tent and shouted excitedly, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here! He's heading towards the camp now!"

Crown Prince? Yuan'er?

Si Yijing was shocked and stood up suddenly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Follow me to greet him."

Si Yijing was the first to walk out of the tent, and several other deputy generals were also shocked by this sudden good news.

They all stood up and followed Si Yijing to greet him. That’s great! The prince brought the Yuanwei Army to support them.

Yanguan is saved!

"Yuan'er." When Si Yijing saw Si Yuan appear at the gate of the military camp, he immediately rushed up and hugged him.

Si Minghui is a good-for-nothing, but unexpectedly his son is a good one.

He has the style of the emperor's brother back then.

"Uncle, I received the news from Yanguan and rushed here immediately." Si Yuan was also very excited when he saw Si Yijing.

Si Yuan has lived half of his life in the northern border and half in Yanguan since he was a child.

"Uncle, this is my wife, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Wanwan." Si Yuan took Mu Wanwan by his side and introduced her to Si Yijing.

"Greetings, Uncle Emperor." Mu Wanwan leaned forward slightly and saluted gracefully.

Si Yijing nodded, looked at Mu Wanwan, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

The second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has a temperament and appearance that matches Yuan'er quite well.

Mu Yuheng and Ouyang Moyu also came forward to greet him. Si Yijing knew these two people.

Ouyang Moyu was the military advisor of the Yuanwei Army and had stayed in Yanguan with Si Yuan for a period of time.

Mu Yuheng had met him several times in the capital and knew that he was the eldest son of Prime Minister Mu.

Si Yijing also had a good impression of these two young people and nodded in response with a smile.

"Yuan'er, I received news a while ago that the emperor demoted you to a commoner. What exactly happened?" Si Yijing sent several letters to the capital, but did not receive a clear answer.

I can't leave easily.

Si Yuan briefly recounted what had happened during this period.

"What? You said that the emperor is still alive?" When mentioning Si Yuchen, Si Yijing interrupted Si Yuan.

He stared at Si Yuan in shock and held Si Yuan's shoulders tightly.

Si Yuan nodded. "We also received the news from our father some time ago, and immediately went to Fengling Country to bring him back. He is now in the northern border."

Si Yuan's words made Si Yijing visibly excited, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Great, my brother is still here.

If my mother knew about this in the afterlife, she would definitely be very happy.

When the emperor's brother disappeared, the queen mother was heartbroken and could not stop thinking about him until her death.

Now that he knew his royal brother was still alive, Si Yijing felt both emotional and relieved.

When Si Yijing was born, his mother died of complications during childbirth, and the late queen treated him as her own son.

Otherwise, how could a prince like himself, without his mother's protection, survive safely in that cannibalistic palace?

"Damned Si Minghui, he actually dared to murder the late emperor's legitimate son. I will tear him into pieces." Si Yijing's eyes burned with anger and he clenched his fists.

When the other deputy generals heard Si Yuan's words, they were also filled with indignation. They were all people who followed Si Yuchen.

Now hearing the news that Si Yuchen was still alive, the anger in his heart was ignited.

"Yuan'er, what did you just say about father?" After Si Yijing's anger subsided, he realized how Si Yuan addressed Si Yuchen and looked at him in confusion.

Si Yuan recounted everything that happened after he received Si Yuchen's letter.

Si Yijing didn't expect that Si Minghui would do so many things for the throne, and he felt a chill in his heart.

If he had not had the intention to fight for the throne and had left the capital early, he would probably not have been able to escape Si Minghui's calculations.

When he heard that the eldest prince was not Si Minghui's biological son, he laughed out loud.

He played with eagles all his life, and finally got his eyes pecked out by an eagle.

If Si Minghui knew that he was finally played around by a woman, he would definitely die of anger on the spot.

"Your Highness, may I ask where the Yuan Guards are so we can arrange accommodation for them?" Lieutenant General Li saw that there were no soldiers behind Si Yuan and anxiously interrupted their reminiscence.

"The Yuanwei Army is still in the northern border. I didn't let them come with us." Si Yuan said.

"Your Highness, there is a shortage of food and fodder at Yanguan Pass right now, and the weather is cold. If you and your group come alone, I'm afraid..."

When the soldiers heard Si Yuan's words, they were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. They thought that their predicament would be alleviated with the arrival of the prince.

But I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't bring a large army.

Upon hearing this, Si Yijing lowered his head and his shoulders drooped.

Yes, the northern border is a long way from Yanguan.

By the time the Yuanwei army arrives at Yanguan, they will probably have already collapsed.

But I just heard from Yuan'er that they also received the urgent report from Yanguan yesterday, so how come they arrived today?

"Since we dare to come here alone, we are absolutely sure that we can defend Yanguan." Mu Wanwan said.

The voice was full of confidence, and it landed with a thud, accompanied by the whistling cold wind.

The military advisors and soldiers beside them frowned when they heard Mu Wanwan's words.

Although this woman is the Crown Prince's legal wife, isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?

Si Yijing also frowned and paused, then looked up at Si Yuan: "Yuan'er, you two should leave immediately. I will defend Yanguan for my brother even if it costs my life."

Si Yijing didn't want Si Yuan and Mu Wanwan to die in vain.

"Uncle, war is no joke. We are naturally fully prepared." Si Yuan said.

Seeing Si Yuan say this, Si Yijing didn't know what to say.

Yuan'er has been a steady child since he was young, and he would never joke about the lives of the entire city of Yanguan.

"Originally, the emperor's uncle should have treated you well when you came here, but the food reserves in Yanguan are only enough to last for half a month at most." Si Yijing's words revealed deep helplessness.

"Uncle, take us to the grain camp." Si Yuan said.

Si Yijing nodded. He thought Si Yuan wanted to check the food supply personally.

Outside the grain camp, there are heavy guards.

This is the last bit of food left by the Yanguan Army. If they are attacked by the enemy, it will be all over.

A group of people came into the tent to check.

"These are all left in the military camp now. The rest will be sent to the city and distributed to the people there." said Gao Li'an, Si Yijing's military advisor.

In order to save food, the soldiers have been drinking very thin porridge recently.

The soldiers were hungry and had no strength to fight the Wei army. The Yanguan army suffered countless casualties.

Si Yijing watched the increasing number of casualties in the military camp every day, feeling extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Mu Wanwan also felt very heavy in her heart when she saw the pale and weak soldiers in front of her, all of them were skin and bones.

These children are still in their teens, but they have already gone to the battlefield to defend their country.

Now we can’t even meet the basic needs of food and clothing.
