Liu Ziming finally stumbled out, pushed away the hand of the guard who wanted to help, and returned to Qingyi Garden.He didn't dare to see Xiao Xiao, because Xiao Xiao was in danger twice because of himself; but he had to go to see Xiao Xiao, because he didn't want Xiao Xiao to be left alone for the last part of the journey.There was still the last sliver of luck in his heart—maybe someone among the imperial physicians could save Xiao Xiao, so Liu Ziming pushed open the door of Xiao Xiao's room anxiously.

"You're back?"

Xiao Xiao was sitting by the bed and dealing with all the "curious babies" in misery, her eyes lit up when she saw Liu Ziming.Seeing Liu Ziming's blank expression, he showed an embarrassed smile, and then explained to Liu Ziming: "The imperial doctors said that my poison is gone..."

The imperial doctors were confused when they were captured by Shu Yi one by one, and they were desperate when they exchanged information after they were captured.They only thought that the prince was suffering from a cold or something, but they caught so many at once, and they knew that the disease was not simple.However, when Doctor Li told everyone that Mr. Xiao had been poisoned, they breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then they became worried again.

Not to mention anything else, Mr. Xiao does not have the right to kill them if he wants to, but the prince does!Mr. Xiao is a big celebrity in front of His Royal Highness, what if His Royal Highness is so angry that the guards will pull them all out and behead them if he can't be cured?Besides, Doctor Li said that it was a strange poison that could not be cured, not to mention that they were not as good as Doctor Li. Didn't they just wash their necks and wait for death?

The imperial doctors were all frowning before they saw it, thinking about their own children with bitter faces.The book also ordered them to line up to see Xiao Xiao's doctor. The imperial doctors all put on a look of death, and then used their housekeeping skills.It's a pity that a strange poison is a strange poison. Except for one person who saw something wrong, the rest of them didn't even notice anything abnormal.And the one who saw something was wrong turned pale on the spot, so the colleagues also knew that there was no cure for this poison.

"This poison has no solution..."

The imperial doctor uttered the embarrassing words in a trembling voice, then stared dumbfounded at Xiao Xiao sitting up suddenly, and looked at the people in the room strangely.

"Who are you?" Xiao Xiao was stunned.

Xiao Xiao's situation this time is exactly the same as when he fell into "sleep" before. After falling into the darkness, a gentle force pushed him back to the present world, followed by the poison in his body being completely cleared.Although Xiao Xiao didn't know why, she only regarded it as a golden finger given to her by the God of Time Traveling, and happily accepted it.After waking up, he obediently accepted the examinations of the imperial doctors and confirmed that he was already healthy.Then, in the eyes of the imperial doctors, Xiao Xiao became the "elixir" that could bring the dead back to life, and the flesh and bones. Xiao Xiao reluctantly accepted wave after wave of inquiries.

But when he was exhausted, Liu Ziming suddenly broke into the room, which made all the imperial doctors shut up.Watching Liu Ziming drive the imperial doctors out, Xiao Xiao explained her special constitution to him speechlessly, and then narrated what happened that day.

"So that's why I saw you in a trance when I was in the hall?" Liu Ziming gritted his teeth with hatred, "Why didn't you tell me this kind of thing immediately? You must drag it until you get poisoned, and you're about to die—you fainted and let me die." I found out myself?"

Xiao Xiao handed him a cup of tea flatteringly: "I haven't seen you all this time, besides, I didn't have any other symptoms except hallucinations, and then it disappeared immediately. I thought it was due to the toxicity. Strong, it just disappeared."

"Tell the guards if there is anything wrong in the future, they will come and report to me," Liu Ziming pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes to hide his fear, "just don't hide it from me, I'm very scared..."

Xiao Xiao stopped pouring tea, and unconsciously looked at the person sitting opposite.What do you mean he is scared?

Leaving aside the weirdness in her heart, Xiao Xiao raised a smile: "No, I promise this is the last time."

After the matter of Concubine Lan came to an end, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but want to talk to Liu Ziming about going to Mingcheng.But at this time, a guard rushed in and knelt down to invite Liu Ziming to enter the palace, saying that the emperor had something important to discuss.Xiao Xiao looked at the slowly setting sun outside, and at this moment the last ray of light was swallowed up by the shadow of the mountain, and for some reason she had a bad premonition in her heart.

The next day, Liu Ziming did not return to Qingyi Garden, but he asked the guards to bring back bad news: the grassland united with the tribes to attack Xiangcheng and took three counties.

Xiangcheng is remote, and there are only four counties around it, so the city is about to be attacked. The leisure of "annual leave" disappeared, and the whole court was overwhelmed by the sudden invasion of the grassland army.But soon the second and third battle reports were sent, and everyone knew that the grassland army had launched an offensive as early as the first day of the first lunar month, and the first battle report in the true sense was intercepted by the grassland army. When the court found out, it was already half a month late.

In the past half a month, Xiangcheng lost the support of Feiyun Army, and was unable to look forward to emergency rescue from the imperial court, so it had already run out of ammunition and food, relying on faith for support.But the prairie army was really fierce, and when the court received the first battle report, it was also when Xiangcheng was broken.The general soldiers killed themselves in grief and anger on the city wall, and the prefect Rong cried and died in front of the lit garden. In the end, there were only 4000 people left in the [-] army. Rong Yu took them to escort the generals' relatives and fled to Ancheng.

The commander-in-chief of Ancheng, surnamed Zhao, had participated in the Battle of Xiangcheng, so he naturally knew Rongyu.The four thousand remnant troops suddenly arrived, Zongbing Zhao knew in his heart that there was a big incident in Xiangcheng, he quickly asked Rongyu the reason, and then sent a battle report to the court.After giving the order, he ordered Rong Yu and the relatives of the officers and soldiers to live in the garden of Hong Zhifu, but Rong Yu stood still the moment he walked out of the room, and asked Zong Bing Zhao in confusion and pain:

"If Jiang Muyu is here, Xiangcheng will not be destroyed?"

At that time, Zongbing Zhao was thinking about how to issue an order so that the army could defend Ancheng, so he didn't answer Rongyu's question in time, and when he wanted to say something, he had already left.Looking at the dark sky outside, he couldn't help but ask himself, if Jiang Muyu was there, could he keep it.But the deal is done, and it is really inappropriate to explore this again at this time, so the heavy-hearted Zhao Zongbing finally just shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

Ancheng can't be lost!

Listening to the spies' report, Chief Zhao knew that the Prairie Army was definitely not just trying to take Xiangcheng this time, so he decided to defend Ancheng even if he died.At this time, the road paved by Xiao Xiao showed its effect. The stable road conditions allowed them to quickly send troops to support, and at the same time, the food and grass could be delivered faster.Rich merchants in the city, such as the Zhao family and the Jiang family, heard that the prairie army had reached Ancheng, and sent food or money to the army one after another. They even formed a self-defense force and said they wanted to join the army.

On weekdays, I only hear people say that they donate generously for the rich and unkind, because they know what it means to destroy the country and destroy the family, and what it means to have no eggs under the nest.But for those ordinary people, they were panicked, and they were already thinking of running for their lives before the city gate was broken.There are also those small merchants who actually want to make a fortune when the country is in crisis. The price of grain and farm tools has risen again and again. In Ancheng, there are big merchants such as the Jiang family who control the price of grain.

The streets are full of crazy people with red eyes. They stare at the closed doors of the merchants, and then smash the doors with the picks and shovels in their hands.Previously, small merchants dared to raise the price of grain, but now they dare not even do business, because these people don't know how to buy it at all, but rush to grab it all.The farmers who are farming are not in a panic when they have surplus food, but how can these townspeople who cannot buy food survive?After bribing the county magistrate, they attacked at night and smashed up the few grain shops in the town.

This kind of thing doesn't just happen in Ancheng.

The news of the war obviously spread much faster than the imperial court's announcement. After the imperial court received the Xiangcheng battle report, it was necessary to transfer the bird gun and Feiyun army, so that Zheng Zongbing would guard Ancheng and send them to the city. Xiangcheng was also taken back.The imperial court even ordered governments at all levels to post announcements to appease the people, but unfortunately, Bai Yu did not expect that this time it was not the grassland tribal alliance that launched the attack, but the grassland army and the Evergreen Army joined forces to deal with Bai Yu. However, another battle report came from the city, saying that the Evergreen Army was attacking Mingcheng and had taken seven counties near Mingcheng.

Mingcheng was also in chaos.

Originally, the general soldier died in a strange way, and the prefect was imprisoned, and the people of Mingcheng were panicked. Later, when they learned that Jiang Xietong was arrested by Changqing, their hearts became even more disturbed.Jiang Xietong was the leader of the army sent by the imperial court. If something happened in Mingcheng, the imperial court would definitely send Mingcheng troops to rescue him.However, the Changqing people are already strong, and the new commander-in-chief of the garrison has not yet taken office at this time, how can they win this battle?At that time, I am afraid that I will take the life of the soldiers again...

The people of Ming City were already in a state of panic, but once the imperial court's announcement came out, it stirred up a thousand waves of waves, and completely collapsed the people of the city.Changqing actually called?The common people didn't trust the leaderless garrison at all, so they ran away one after another, taking the whole family to the royal city.

The original magistrate is still in prison, and the new one has not arrived yet, so the government of Mingcheng is left alone.The remaining ones are simply fish that slipped through the net of smuggling arms, so what kind of good birds are they?So everyone started to collect money crazily with the idea that Mingcheng would be destroyed, planning to make a fortune before leaving, and then live a chic life.They don't care whether the country is broken or not, as long as they have money, how can they not live well?With this kind of thinking in mind, they were even worse than the Evergreen Army outside the city. They burned, killed, looted and harmed many people, making this Ming city smoky and full of public grievances.Everyone has this idea:

Bai Yu is in danger.
