Chapter five hundred and eightieth chaos

After Brother Wang left next door, Yuemian's husband hurriedly returned to the kitchen to find Yuemian and told Yuemian that Brother Wang said.

After being shocked, Yuemian asked, "Why are the siege of the city so fast?"

It took only two days to get messy on the street. How could someone gather troops so quickly to attack the city? She is a woman with little knowledge, but from common sense, it is really unusual.

Yuemianxiang said justice: "Who knows whether they fell from the sky or emerged from the ground? Now we should worry about what will happen in the city once the city is broken.

This is actually because there is a cellar at home. Yuemian’s husband had experienced this chaos before and was prepared. Therefore, he bought the house with a secret cellar specially. He also spent time repairing it and had dry food and water for two people to eat for more than half a month. If the previous preparations were made, there would be no problem.

But now there are two more people, and not even mentioning the crowd, it is hard for me to be with the other two women, so I am not able to deal with it, especially the other party has a noble status, so I cannot offend it.

Yuemian thought for a while and said, "I'd better tell the princess about this first and see what the princess has to do."

"Okay." Yuemianxiang said justice, "If it doesn't work, you can hide in the cellar together. I can find a place to hide. A big man can't hide in that corner."

"Things may not be so critical. Even if the city is broken, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. After all, those who attacked the city are soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They will not slaughter the people of their own country, right?" Yuemian grew up in the Ding Palace since she was a child and did not have a deep understanding of the riots.

"Not necessarily." Yuemian said worriedly, "Sometimes the country's army is even more cruel. After the city is broken, some officers and soldiers take advantage of the chaos to rob. This kind of thing cannot be known, so they must silence them. Therefore, they will be even more cruel. If they kill people, they will blame the burn, kill, looting and the losers. They are the army of justice. This is the so-called success, the king, the loser, the bandit."

"Is there something like this?" Yuemian was even more frightened. It was the first time she had heard of such a thing. The country's regular army would also slaughter the people.

"Don't think so much, let me tell the princess first." Yuemian's husband didn't want to say too many bloody things to avoid scaring his wife.

Yuemian nodded, then turned around and knocked on the door of the east room.

"Who?" A gentle inquiry came from inside.

"Miss Meng, can I come in?" Yuemian didn't know what to call Princess, so it would be inappropriate to call Princess directly. After thinking about it, she would still call Su Yiqing's maiden name.

"Come in."

After Yuemian entered the house, she saw Su Yiqing standing aside, while Princess Xiangshan was sitting on a chair and pounding her legs. When she saw her coming in, for some reason, the Princess Xiangshan had a strange expression. She didn't care about so much at this time and whispered: "Princess, my husband just received the news that there were riots attacking the city."

Su Yiqing and Princess Xiangshan looked at each other. As they expected, the queen acted like this, giving people a handle on her face and brought the banner of justice to attack her.

The emperor now doesn't know what's going on, but the empress controls the harem so much, and the ministers and royal relatives have also seized most of them. The emperor is likely to be in danger.

The queen has no biological son. If the emperor had survived this disaster safely and recovered, would he still keep the queen, who had long had no husband and wife for the queen?

The two of them knew about the situation in the palace. The emperor actually didn't like the queen, and even had the idea of ​​deposing the queen. It was just because the queen was not a big mistake. The emperor was not a dedicated person. He was very fond of the old and did not have the favor of the concubine alone. Those favored concubines just had some capital to challenge the queen, and in a blink of an eye they had to worry about the newcomer's position, and there was no other intention to take care of others. In this way, the queen could continue to sit in this position.

But everyone can see that the position of the queen is actually in danger. The third prince has been unable to be named the crown prince for a long time, and he has heard of someone's slander and is dissatisfied with the queen.

If the queen doesn't think of a solution, her future fate can be imagined.

Speaking of queens, Su Yiqing remembered that Empress Xu of Dajing was all the queens, and she thought that she was not bad at all. If her mind was slightly worse, she would have been beaten to death long ago.

As for the emperor, there will naturally be women who love more in the harem of three thousand beauties. The better ones will be happy with the new and never get tired of the old. Even if love is gone, there will be family affection and morality, while the selfish ones will only care about themselves.

The Emperor of Great Zhou and Emperor of Great Jing both seem to be the same, or the emperor's heart is hard, and women will be forced to that extent.

Yuemian saw Su Yiqing silent for a long time, thinking that she was thinking of a solution and did not dare to urge her, so she quietly stood by.

However, Princess Xiangshan couldn't help but ask, "Does it be that the army on which road is sieging the city?"

Yuemian shook her head, "I don't know at this time. The news was told by Brother Wang next door. Brother Wang went from street to street and worked as a carpenter. The street was well-informed, but I didn't know what happened in the court. I only knew that there were troops besieging the city, and I didn't know which army it was."

"Actually, this is not very important." Su Yiqing said, "We are trapped here now. When the riots are together, the swords are blind and there is no eyebrow, so we will not care about anyone."

Princess Xiangshan thought to herself that this is true for herself. Anyway, she is a foreigner and is not familiar with these princes and generals at all. Everyone is the same, but for her, as Princess Ding, it is naturally different. If she has a good relationship with Princes Ding, at least Princess Ding will be much safer after the city is broken. Why did Princess Ding say that?

At this moment, there was another noise outside, as if people were running around in horror.

Yuemian hurriedly turned around and went out to see what was going on outside.

Princess Xiangshan looked at Su Yiqing and said, "Xiaoyi, what should we do now? It seems that the situation is not good... What should we do if the city breaks down?"

Su Yiqing sighed, "I don't know either, I can only hide now."

Princess Xiangshan thought for a while and suddenly said, "If the city is really broken, many people in the city will definitely leave the city. Should we follow it and avoid it and wait until the situation stabilizes before returning?"

"It is of course good to go out of the city and avoid it, but in this situation, how can you get out? If you encounter a rioter, people will not care about our identities at that time."

"But hiding here doesn't seem to be a solution." Princess Xiangshan lowered her voice, "Looking at the couple, I seemed very panicked, and I don't know what to do."

"I know, but it is not normal for people who are not panicked now." Su Yiqing said as she glanced at Princess Xiangshan. Princess Xiangshan said this, which seemed to mean something. Maybe it was because she doubted Yuemian's loyalty or something. People were suspicious. Thinking of this, Su Yiqing suddenly asked, "Princess, are you afraid?"

"Fear." Princess Xiangshan said her feelings sincerely, "I am not afraid of death. I am far away from my hometown and come to a strange land. I have thought of the worst ending. Sometimes death is not scary, but I don't want to die for a coward, and I was inexplicably killed by the rioters who didn't know the way."

Su Yiqing comforted her, "Don't worry, no, we will definitely survive this crisis safely. I have intuition. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune."

Princess Xiangshan smiled bitterly, "Princess Ding, you are brave and resourceful, and you have good martial arts skills. I... used to be like a frog in a well. I always thought I was smart, but I realized that it was just one of most people who thought they were smart. I am very grateful to have a few encounters and I hope I can repay the princess in this life."

"I don't want to be in trouble to the point where I need someone to repay you." Su Yiqing sighed, remembered something, looked at Princess Xiangshan's eyes, and said, "But since the princess is willing to repay you, I remembered something. If possible, please work hard."

"Princess, please say, when it reaches this point, if I can do it, I will do it in the future." Princess Xiangshan crossed her hands and placed it on her chest, "I swear in the name of my mother and will never break my promise."

She knew that at this moment, Princess Ding's request must be extraordinary.

Su Yiqing whispered: "That's right. If one day the princess has the ability, I hope that she will maintain harmony with Dazhou and Dajing and will not fight again."

"I must have this. Even if the princess doesn't say it, I will work so hard." Princess Xiangshan thought Su Yiqing was going to make any request, but it turned out that it was this. She would definitely do it. She also hated the war and caused the people to suffer from poisoning. Then she sighed sincerely, "The princess is such a good person. She still cares about the people in the world at this time."

Su Yiqing smiled and said to herself that she did not care about the people of the world, but there were people she cared about in both countries. If they fought each other, these people would be affected first.

As he was talking, Yuemian rushed in and said, "Princess, something is wrong, and the chaos outside the city has set fire."

"What does it mean?" Princess Xiangshan didn't understand, how could people outside the city set fire in the city? What is the purpose of setting fire around the high city wall and moat?"

Su Yiqing's expression changed. She had experienced siege and knew what the enemy was doing to set fire to the arrows. She tied flammable objects to the arrows and shot them in. The fired arrows fell into the houses in the city and would cause gas fire.

Once a fire broke out in ancient times, it was a big deal, especially when Yancheng was the imperial capital, there were so many luxurious mansions, once it caught fire, it was amazing.

Who is the leader? So cruel and blatant, this kind of thing can't hide the eyes and ears of the world?

But what is important now is not this. Su Yiqing knows that the location of Yuemian's house is close to the city wall. If the siege is setting fire like this, the street will be affected first.

In a frightened state, Su Yiqing said: "If we really set fire, we can't stay here, we must find another place."

"Go to my aunt, their house is on the west end of the city, farther away from the city wall." Yuemian had just thought about it quickly. The cellar of his house was small, and he was afraid that the princess would be wronged, so he might not be safe. But his aunt's house is different. His husband is also a yamen person, a gangster, etc., who are more concerned about it.

"No, Yuemian, if you are worried, you and your husband will go there first, let's stay here." Su Yiqing flatly rejected Yuemian's proposal.

"Princess, how can this be done? How can I leave you alone?" Yuemian was very anxious.

"You are no longer a servant of the Ding Prince's Mansion. Don't keep talking about yourself as a servant." Su Yiqing said softly, "We have our own plans. We can't go anywhere in Xue Niang, but you and your husband can go there. You can't help us even if you stay here. Let's lend your house to live for a while."

"But... the princess." Yuemian gritted her teeth, "If the princess doesn't leave, I will stay with her."

"You can do it yourself. Such a mess, it's probably the same when you go there." Su Yiqing sighed, "It might be more dangerous outside."

Yuemian still decided to stay.

Not only for the princess, she and her husband bought this house with all their savings. She couldn't bear to leave everything in the family and leave. If it really doesn't work, just hide in the cellar with the princess.

Princess Xiangshan said, "What if you catch fire?"

Su Yiqing whispered: "It shouldn't be. Most of the chaos will only bluff, and it won't really set fire. If it really sets fire, it will affect too many people. Now the people who attack the city are mostly for the throne, and it will not make people angry or resentful. So they are just doing it, causing chaos in the city. The people may panic and become in chaos. Maybe someone will open the city gate and escape, and they will take the opportunity to attack in."

"Is this possible?" Princess Xiangshan looked at Su Yiqing in confusion, "How did the princess know?"

"It was inferred by common sense." Su Yiqing said lightly, "I guess there may be something wrong, but it will probably be like this, so there is no need to worry too much."

"Hope is as the princess said." Princess Xiangshan sighed, and suddenly remembered her previous proposal. She was about to say something, and was worried about Yuemian and swallowed her words back.

After a while, Yuemian went out to inquire about the news, and then she said: "Princess, what I said just now, if I could take the opportunity to leave the city, would it be much safer? You just said, maybe the city gate will be opened, why don't we take the opportunity to leave the city? It's always much safer outside the city than here."

"Have the princess lived alone in the wild?" Su Yiqing looked at Princess Xiangshan and asked back.

Princess Xiangshan shook her head.
