Zhao Yan only felt that he had a long dream.He lives in a picturesque valley with his father, mother and eldest brother.There is no empty and cold Guangming Forbidden Palace, no treacherous courts with intrigues, no intrigues in the harem; no beauties with high buns, no endless attendants, and no chattering courtiers.All the things that Zhao Yanzhi didn't like were not in the dream.In that valley, there was only a small courtyard, which was filled with his favorite herbs, and there were his relatives separated by Yin and Yang.

His high-spirited elder brother took him to play all over the mountains and fields every day, until the sun went down, and his mother called them home for dinner.At this time, his father would put on a serious face and teach them, but when he saw his mother, he would forget everything.

Zhao Yan just didn't want to wake up.That was the past that he had lost for many years and dreamed of going back.

"It's been three days, why haven't you woke up?" Zhao Yan's joy of being expelled from his body at the beginning has long since disappeared.Guarding an unconscious body makes anyone restless.

Ji Chengchu had no choice.Whether Zhao Yanzhi wakes up or not, when he wakes up depends entirely on his own will.However, Ji Chengchu thought of a method that I don't know if it will be useful: He asked Xie Qing to talk to the unconscious Zhao Yanzhi when he was free.

Zhao Yan only lived a life where both parents were happy and didn't want to think about Sichuan, and he didn't know what day and night it would be.Recently, however, he has been a little troubled.He always felt that someone was calling him.That warm and pleasant voice is not at home, nor in the valley, but it seems to be in his mind, it is his innate imprint.Zhao Yan only felt that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.

But what is that?

Five days later, Zhao Yanzhi still didn't wake up.Xie Qing did almost nothing every day, just held Zhao Yanzhi's hand and told him about his childhood, about his time in Daijun and Beiping, from talking about it to mourning later, it took a few days Xie Qing's voice was hoarse beyond recognition.

When Gu Shenxing had time, he also came to talk to Zhao Yanzhi, but he soon ran out of time.Zhao Wangzhi received a secret report that the Jinbei king led the army of the feudal country to come out in full force. In the name of the Qing emperor, he didn't know where to take the road, crossed Qi State, Changshan State, and all his eyeliners, and came straight to Chang'an.

Gu Shenxing was sure that this was definitely not Zhao Shichang's idiot's idea.It's not that he can't do something like taking advantage of the fire to rob, but that without the guidance of an expert, Zhao Shichang would never even be able to leave the Jibei Kingdom.

Things have come to this, Zhao Wangzhi and Gu Shenxing have no time to think about who is behind Zhao Shichang, Zhao Shichang will come to the city soon, Changshan King's men and horses are far away from quenching their thirst, and Xie Qing's soldiers in Beiping have to look at Guangling. For the imperial army, even though the leader is an idiot, it is enough for them to have a headache for a few days.

The golden city of Chang'an is thousands of miles away, the land of abundance, if it is properly defended, it will be difficult for even Zhao Shichang with a million soldiers to capture it at once.Zhao Wangzhi urgently transferred Changshan iron cavalry to enter the pass, and they only needed to stick to it for three days.

What really troubled Gu Shenxing was that the princes and kings came to the city in the name of the Qing emperor, but the emperor refused to show up. If Zhao Shichang was a little smarter, this matter would actually have great potential.He is not worried about Zhao Shichang, what he is worried about is the master behind Zhao Shichang who has a way to hide from all his eyeliners.

However, it is really not up to Gu Shenxing to plan when Zhao Yan will wake up.The longer you live, the more you know that God's will is hard to violate. Emperors, generals and ministers are no more than ordinary people, and they are ultimately no match for fate.

Covering his thoughts, Gu Shenxing shook his head and concentrated on deploying defenses.

Chang'an City is easy to defend but hard to attack, let alone Gu Shenxing and Zhao Wangzhi, let alone three days, even 30 days, Zhao Shichang will not even think about taking it.

At this time, Zhao Wangzhi was standing at the top of the city, surrounded by black armor and killing people, he couldn't see the end at a glance.If Zhao Shichang attacked the city first with the impact of the cavalry attack, he could still fight; but he chose to stop at the foot of the city.Zhao Wangzhi sneered and rolled his eyes, he was too young to worry.

Here Zhao Wangzhi's defense of the city can be described as "leisurely", but over there Gu Shenxing is struggling.Ever since Zhao Shichang's troops approached the city, there have been a steady stream of ministers clamoring to see Zhao Yanzhi.At the beginning, Gu Shenxing was able to hold his ground, but later more and more people came, making Gu Shenxing's temples sweat from the noise.

He was more anxious than anyone else, for this scene, Zhao Yan had to do it himself.

Zhao Yan only recently felt that the voice appeared more and more frequently, and more and more urgently.Even when he was picking up two vanilla plants, he could hear a mournful "A Yuan".Zhao Yan just shook his head hastily, trying to shake the annoying voice out of his mind.But--

When did he start to enjoy tending these flowers and plants?Whose habit is that?It seemed to be very important, but he couldn't remember it.It's good here, with relatives he has been away for many years.But he was getting more and more uneasy.He couldn't remember where he had left something important.

Xie Qing guarded Zhao Yanzhi exhaustedly, his eyes were red from the heat, and he refused to follow Ji Chengchu's suggestion to take a rest.He took the trouble to only talk to Zhao Yan, but his voice was really hoarse, so he called "A Yuan" over and over again.For some reason, seeing Xie Qing like this, the indifferent Ji Chengchu felt a little hot in his eye sockets.But he really had no choice, Zhao Yan only refused to wake up, no one could do anything about it.

Gu Shenxing finally survived the whole day, racking his brains to dismiss all kinds of people who came to inquire about the news, but his expression became more serious.He knew that today's group was just exploring the way. Once Zhao Shichang started to attack the city, more and more people would come to make trouble.And even if Changshan Iron Cavalry arrived in Chang'an two days later and forced Zhao Shichang to retreat, he would not be able to deal with the panicked courtiers.The human heart is such a thing that once a seed of doubt is sown, it can no longer be eradicated.

Gu Shenxing dragged his exhausted body up to the top of the city, Zhao Wangzhi saw him coming and hurried up to meet him: "It's dark and the wind is strong, why are you here? Put on some clothes quickly, be careful not to catch cold." said Then he took off his cloak and put it on Gu Shenxing, and walked down the tower with him hand in hand.

"How's the situation?" Gu Shenxing was nestling in Zhao Wangzhi's arms and didn't want to do anything, but he still asked patiently.

Zhao Wangzhi patted him on the back lightly: "What can I do? Zhao Shichang is an idiot, and the tall man behind him is not very smart. Don't worry, let alone my 18 cavalry will arrive in two days, just take a picture of him." At their level, even if they were given two years, they wouldn’t be able to capture Chang’an City from me!”

Gu Shenxing nodded when he heard the words, he found a comfortable position, and said sullenly: "Don't move, let me lean on for a while, I'm exhausted..."

Sure enough, Zhao Shichang ordered the attack on the city early the next morning.The city guard was replaced by Gu Yan.According to Zhao Wangzhi, asking Gu Yan to delay them for two days is completely overkill, as for himself, he has to follow his father to deal with the gangsters in the court.

Sure enough, the war of words became more and more intense that day, and some people even wanted to kill them in court.Zhao Wangzhi was most annoyed by this trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I usually don't realize that Qing is such a staunch character. Thinking about it, I'm very angry with my concubine Teng."

This man was often criticized for spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife. His wife almost divorced him back then, which was once one of the most popular drinking topics in Chang'an City.It was the first time Zhao Wangzhi said it as a joke after many years, and this person immediately lost his face.The old official with gray beard and hair froze for a moment, and was about to bump into the pillar.

For a while, there were those who obstructed, those who persuaded, those who watched the theater, and the instigator Zhao Wangzhi who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

This kind of nonsense happened a lot during the day, until they were all sent away, Gu Shenxing was so tired that he didn't want to move anymore.

While he was exhausted, he felt something strange in his heart: Why did he not see Marquis Chengyang in such a good opportunity?

However, if there are no accidents, the reinforcements from Changshan will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow before the eclipse, and after another morning, all the nightmares can come to an end for the time being.

As a result, something happened that night.When Gu Shenxing received the report that "Guangming Palace is under siege and the palace gate is about to be captured", he once thought he was dreaming.If I can defend myself, even if it was Zhao Wangzhi who came to attack, it would be impossible to attack so quickly.

"How many people are there?" Zhao Wangzhi asked in a low voice.

"Yechen can't see it clearly, but it will never exceed two thousand!" The spy said with certainty.

Looks like it's not Zhao Shichang anymore.But where did a team of no more than two thousand people come from?

No time to think about it.Almost all the guards in Chang'an were transferred to defend the city, and there are less than [-] soldiers in Guangming Palace.Gu Shenxing made a decisive decision: "Abandon guarding the palace gate. Everyone gathers at the gate of the emperor's bedroom!" He turned around and looked at Zhao Wangzhi, "The palace gate is not broken, and it will take at least a moment for them to get here. Look, you ride chasing the wind, Bring Zhonggong and the two children!"

I have to say, Empress Xie is really not the one to worry about.As soon as Zhao Wangzhi arrived at the gate of the hall, he saw that Empress Xie had arrived with Princess Huaiqing and the prince in his arms, and he couldn't help being overjoyed.However, there was no time to say more, and the group rushed to Zhao Yanzhi's bedroom immediately.

Zhao Wangzhi didn't have time to settle down with the Empress Xie and the child, so he just stuffed them into the hall, and then he was busy setting up troops with Gu Shenxing.

When Xie Qing heard the news that Guangming Palace was in danger, he almost went crazy.Zhao Yan just lay on the couch peacefully, not showing any intention of waking up, after a while, Xie Qing broke out in a cold sweat.In desperation, he collected Zhao Yanzhi's bow, arrow and dagger, and kept them on hand just in case; he untied the Son of Heaven Sword and held it in his hand, as if he was ready to fight to the death at any time.

It doesn't matter if you can protect him or not, you have to risk your own life first.

The sound of arrows piercing through the air, swords chopping shields, and the sounds were especially abrupt in this quiet night.Xie Qing held the sword in one hand and Zhao Yanzhi's hand in the other, and said anxiously: "A Yuan, wake up quickly, they are attacking!"
