The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 541: Accident

Although this place is remote and quiet, it is not very far from Lin'an City, only three days away, so the news of Lin'an City spread quickly.

So, Mu Yangling and others knew that the second prince and Prime Minister Qin joined hands to force the palace the next day after they left, and the empress was buried in a sea of ​​flames, but within two days, Baili brought back new news from the county.

Emperor Jingyan did not die, he regrouped 60,000 loyal imperial troops and stayed 30 miles outside Lin'an City, and ordered all the generals to command troops to serve the king, so Baili, who was not too far away from them, also received the news.

"Fourth grandma, although this place is remote, if a war breaks out in Lin'an City, I'm afraid refugees will end up here. Shall we find another safe place?"

Mu Yangling shook his head, "Where is there a stable place in this world? Running back and forth is more dangerous, so just stay here and ask someone to guard the yard."

Mu Yangling lowered his head and thought for a while, "Since the emperor is not dead, we have to be more careful. Don't contact the uncle and fourth master recently."

This small mountain village is indeed remote and quiet, and it is self-sufficient in the first place, so even if there is a war outside, it will not have much impact on them. Although they still have no food and clothing, they are much better than the refugees who lost their homes due to the war outside. .

Originally, the village head and Li Zheng were worried that the imperial court would force conscription. After all, there are wars every year, and such things are inevitable. However, there is chaos outside, and there are many regimes, and everyone arrests young men nearby. However, because this small mountain village is remote and there is no political power nearby, the imperial court is panicking. , I didn't bother here for a while.

The village head and Li Zheng were rejoicing, and restrained the villagers even more, not allowing them to leave the village casually, so as not to provoke outsiders.

A few small villages nearby did the same. As a result, seven or eight nearby villages have passed the days of isolation, of course, except for the Zhu family.

Both the village head and Li Zheng knew that people from the Zhu family went out of the village to the city every day, but they only bought some things. After observing for a while, the village head felt relieved.

The whole village and Zhu's family seem to be separated into two sides. Although they are clearly separated, they live in peace.

Life in the village is leisurely, but the outside is chaotic like a raging fire, and the situation changes from day to day.

Emperor Jingyan issued an edict to the generals from all walks of life to King Qin, but there were only four people who were willing to lead troops to King Qin, one was General Yuan, the other was General Qi, and there were two others. It is the yellow ginseng general who leads 30,000 troops.

Qi Xiuyuan personally led the troops from the east of Tongchuan Mansion, General Yuan also personally led the troops to the south, and General Guo was one of the five generals whose family members were detained by the emperor. , but he was still unwilling to let his elderly mother be in danger in Lin'an City, so when the emperor gave the order, he immediately left those rebels and rushed over.

General Guo is only thinking about his mother, but General Yuan can't do it. He only brought 50,000 people south this time, and he left more people at the border. Jin Guo still needs to be on guard, even if the emperor goes down The three gold medals asked him to bring all the troops, and General Yuan just pretended not to see them.

And Qi Xiuyuan came here to do things cheaply.

Although the other generals who did not obey the edict did not come, they did not rebel immediately, but their attitudes were ambiguous, and they all stopped fighting and looked at Lin'an City.

If Emperor Jingyan wins in the end, they have to think about it before deciding whether to rebel. If Emperor Jingyan loses, they must rebel. Emperor?

Emperor Jing Yan received the news from various armies, and his body became even more rickety. He asked, "Qi Haoran hasn't come back yet?"

You must know that although Qi Haoran is only a fourth-rank general now, he has an army of nearly 120,000 under him, which is much more powerful than General Guo and others.

Now the ministers did not follow Emperor Jingyan to crusade, but explained for him with tired faces, "Your Majesty, Qi Shen will be entangled by Xixia, and he will not be able to escape at all, but he has sent a letter back and will separate it as soon as possible." Half of the troops should be brought back."

The minister who escaped with the emperor paused and said, "Your Majesty, we must always save a chance for the people of Da Zhou."

If Qi Haoran retreats and returns, then Xi Xia will definitely massacre the people to vent his anger. Although several ministers have been corrupt and bribed, and have done various things of enclosure and exploitation, they really can't do it and still focus on self-interest at this time.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and did not insist on Qi Haoran's return, "What news is there from the Yuan family?"

The ministers lowered their heads, "The family members of several generals were taken back to the palace by the second prince and put under strict guard, and the Yuan family was no exception."

The emperor's complexion was obscure, but everyone could feel that he was in a bad mood.

Back then he used these family members to control several generals, but now the second prince is just following his old path.

When the emperor left the palace through the secret passage, the first thing he did was to send the Yuan family out of Lin'an City secretly. If they couldn't send them out, they would be executed immediately, and they must not fall into the hands of the rebels.

But the imperial guards surrounding the Yuan family protected the Yuan family and couldn't even get out of the intersection. The second prince and Prime Minister Qin obviously knew the importance of the Yuan family to General Yuan, so they sent many people to intercept them, unlike the emperor. Yes, they ordered that the Yuan family must be kept alive.

The living Yuan family is in their best interests, and they must not be killed, otherwise, what if the emperor planted the death of the Yuan family on them?

The imperial guards escorting the Yuan family couldn't go out, so they had to go back to the Yuan mansion. They originally wanted to carry out the emperor's order, but the Yuan family was not a vegetarian. And there were rebels attacking outside, the forbidden army was attacked by the enemy, and the operation failed, and the Yuan family was also sent to the palace by the second prince's people and other generals' people after constant consumption.

Including Qi Feng's family.

That's right, after Mu Yangling and the others left, Qi Feng's family became hostages.

The emperor didn't know what choice General Yuan would make, but he had to order Qin Wang, because he had only 50,000 imperial troops, and these people were like candlelight and fire piles compared to the rebels, it was nothing to mention.

Now Emperor Jingyan is completely discouraged, and has handed over all matters to his subordinates, completely resigned to his fate, but he attaches great importance to the two young princes brought out of the palace, and almost puts all his protection power on them.

Based on his understanding of General Yuan, after his death, General Yuan will definitely choose one of the princes to ascend the throne, maybe as a puppet, but this world still belongs to the Guo family, and there is hope for the prince to regain power when he grows up.

Emperor Jingyan planned well, but the heavens obviously didn't love him enough. He thought it was a rebellion by the second prince and Prime Minister Qin, but in fact it was another form of Xixia invasion.

While he was nestling in the camp waiting for Qi Xiuyuan and the others to arrive, an army gradually appeared twenty miles away, an army of only 20,000 strong cavalry.

The commander of the forbidden army came in with a pale face and reported: "Your Majesty, those are cavalry from Xixia. The second prince sent envoys to come out to greet him with Prime Minister Qin."

The emperor sat down on the chair and said with a miserable smile: "Yes, not long after Qin Xiangcai came back from Xixia..."
