This day is the Dragon Boat Festival, which was originally a big day in Dachu, but now the troops from the capital are pressing down on the territory, and neither the dignitaries nor the common people are in the mood to celebrate the festival. In addition, Yulan is still ill, and the old lady is seriously ill.

The wife was exempted from all her morning and evening naps, Yulan Cat was in the room, and she and Qian's mother, Xiaoyue Xiaoyu, ate a few rice dumplings and hung calamus, so the Dragon Boat Festival was over.

Soon Yulan got the news that the emperor's holy cavalry would set off on the seventh day of May, accompanied by all the concubines, civil and military officials. The old lady had already obtained the imperial edict and stayed in the capital to help Ye Yichen handle government affairs. The old lady was also old.

His health was not good and he could not bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling. The old man and the emperor requested a special order to keep the old lady in the capital.

The eldest master's family, the second master's family and the fifth master's family all have to follow the emperor on his "southern tour". Calculating the days, they will set off. The emperor left in such a hurry this time. It was called patrolling, but in fact he was running for his life. It can be seen that he also

He was indeed frightened by the barbarian's cavalry.

Starting yesterday, Qian's mother took Xiaoyu to tidy up the boxes and cages. Xiaoyue stayed by Yulan's side to wait on her. When she saw Yulan lying on the bed, Yulan was holding on to the book, she couldn't help but persuade her: "Girl, you have been reading for more than an hour.

You are not in good health to begin with, and you said you don’t want to take the top exam, so don’t tire yourself out!”

Yulan put the book aside and sighed slightly. Ever since she knew that she was going to leave Beijing, she had been uneasy. She was always worried about Ye Yichen. There were rumors everywhere in the city about the sudden man and the woman.

The real person is a cannibal, and the combined forces of the two races are unstoppable. Although Yu Lan knows that this is not entirely true, the more he hears it, the more worried he becomes.

"Xiaoyue, what do you think...can we stay in the capital?"

"Girl? It's so dangerous here. I don't want to see the Tutu and Jurchen barbarians again. The emperor's chariot must be protected by a large army, so it's better to follow the emperor and you'll be safe in Nanjing." This trip to Changping, he was as bold as

Xiaoyue was also scared to death.

After hearing this, Yu Lan smiled mockingly to himself. At this moment, there was no point in still hesitating. The emperor's decree had already been issued and he had to leave.

The door curtain outside was raised, and a little maid in front of the eldest lady came to report: "Miss Qi, there is a girl coming to see you outside, saying that she is from Princess Qingjiang's mansion. Madam asked me to bring her to you."

"Princess Qingjiang's Mansion?" A strange look flashed in Yulan's eyes, "Please invite her in."

Not long after the meeting, the maid brought in a dashing little girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a grape-purple armor, with a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. She was not beautiful, but she made people like her just by looking at her.

As soon as the little girl came in, she knelt on the ground and said in a clear voice: "Slave Yuan Zi has seen Miss Seven!"

Yulan was startled and said quickly: "Miss Yuan, why do you need to give me such a big gift? Please get up quickly!" Xiaoyue quickly stepped forward to help Yuan Zi up. Yulan looked at the girl carefully, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

The more I look at it, the more I feel it looks familiar.

Yu Lan asked tentatively: "Miss Yuan, I wonder if the princess sent you here for something?"

Yuan Zi was very cheerful and said with a smile: "Girl, I have been ordered by the king...oh no, it's the princess. I came to serve the girl and accompany her all the way south to protect her safety."

"ah?"

"From today on, girl is my master. I will obey you in everything. I will hit whoever you ask me to hit!"

There were three black lines on Yulan's head: "This? What on earth is going on?"

Yuan Zi turned back and glanced at the maids and women in the room. Yulan immediately waved her hand. After everyone retreated, Yuan Zicai said: "The prince sent me here to protect the girl. The prince said that there are thousands of mountains and rivers along the way.

There may be danger, although my kung fu is not as good as my brother

Brother, I can deal with a few young and strong men at leisure, so I was sent to protect the girl. The prince said that as long as I protect the girl, he will ask Brother Erniu to marry me as soon as I come back from Nanjing. Then I went to Qingjiang County first.

The Lord’s Mansion, and then from the Princess’ Mansion to yours…”

"Wait, wait!" The girl was straightforward and said everything, but Yu Lan was confused. "You mean you know martial arts, and your martial arts are very high?"

Yuan Zi nodded repeatedly: "I can do thirty moves under my brother!"

"Who is your brother?"

"My brother is Yuan Wenbing, others call him Yuan Datou. He is the captain of the prince's personal soldiers!"

Yu Lan was startled: "Are you Big Head's sister?" No wonder she looked familiar when I saw her just now. Now I'll take a closer look, right? There's a hint of Big Head between her brows and eyes. Whoever spoke

The method is exactly the same.

Yulan was immediately in awe of her. Although Big Head was simple and honest, he was a loyal and brave person, and Yulan admired her very much. Yulan quickly asked her to sit next to him and said: "How is your brother? He is

Are all your injuries healed?"

Yuan Zi said: "His injury has been checked by the doctor, and it's not a problem. He escaped from Changping and followed the prince around every day!"

Yu Lan said: "My lord asked you to come and serve me. I really wronged you!"

Yuan Zi waved her hand and said: "No grievance, no grievance. The prince asked me to be a maid at first, and I was really unhappy. If the prince hadn't told Brother Erniu to marry me after completing the task, I really didn't want to come, but now look at the girl

You are a very nice person, so it’s okay to be your maid. It seems that my brother is right. Haha..."

Yulan sweated. After she came to the ancient world, she was in the back house and bickering every day. It had been a long time since she met such a straightforward and lovely girl. Not only was she not angry, she patted Yuan Zi's hand very kindly.

Since it was sent by the prince, Yulan accepted it of course. She sent a nun to reply to the eldest lady, only saying that Yuan Zi was rewarded to her by Princess Qingjiang, and the eldest lady was busy packing the trunk.

, packed up for a long trip, there was no time to worry about this, so Yuan Zi followed Yulan justifiably.

Yulan was still very interested in the martial arts masters of this era, so she immediately asked Xiaoyue to help her to the yard and asked Yuan Zi to perform for her on the spot.

Yuan Zi made a soft sword, which she usually wore around her waist. She was seen jumping around in the yard, as graceful as a startled dragon, and as powerful as a swimming dragon. The soft sword turned into dots of cold stars, which made her dazzled by the rain.

Although she doesn't understand martial arts, she can tell that Yuan Zi is not bragging. Her martial arts skills are extremely powerful.

Her performance attracted everyone in the courtyard. Everyone in Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu looked happy. This walk was not like usual. The barbarian soldiers might have chased her. With such a master protecting the girl, they

I feel more relieved.

The prince was thoughtful for her, and Yulan felt warm in her heart. She arranged for Yuan Zi to live there, and sent two little girls to serve her. She understood just now that the official position of the big-headed one was Qianhu, the fifth rank, and his

How could the girl be a maid? She was willing to protect herself not because of the prince's order. Of course Yulan would not treat her as a real maid.

On the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, the Holy Emperor officially visited the south.

Because he was "escape", all the rituals were simple. Even so, the flag was still clear and the crown was like a cloud. The emperor brought 10,000 elite soldiers. The three major battalions of the capital had a total of 22 guards and 170,000 troops. More than half of them were deployed to the northwest.

, because the soldiers had not been used for a long time, camp discipline was lax, and the army was severely underpaid, there were only 50,000 to 60,000 people left, all old and weak. The emperor took away almost all the people in the capital who could fight.

The Queen, Concubine Xiao, Concubine Hui, and the heads of various palaces, and the concubines with assigned positions in the harem almost all came with them. Those who were not favored were naturally left in the Forbidden City. There were tens of thousands of concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs in the Forbidden City. The Emperor

How can I bring it here?

The prince was accompanying him, so Yu Xin naturally had to follow him. In addition to the prince, the young prince Ye Minzhao was also in the team. All civil and military officials, those who could speak in front of the emperor, naturally followed him, plus their

The procession of family members meandered for thousands of meters, with no end in sight.

Almost everyone from the Yang family came out with them. The eldest master, the second master, and the fifth master each took their families, and everyone sat on the carriage. The gift boxes and baskets were gathered on the carriage behind.

Yulan's illness has not yet fully recovered. She spent several days recuperating in Lvjingzhai and took the pills specially prepared for her by Doctor Xue every day. She is getting better day by day, but if she wants to get better, she may have to wait for some time. Money.

Mother and several girls covered the inside of Yulan's carriage with a thick felt blanket. Yulan covered her with a quilt, and Yuan Zi also sat in the car and talked to her to relieve her boredom.

Although she lacks a lot of charm, she is very affectionate. She promised the prince to protect Yulan, and she never leaves her side. Yulan actually likes to talk to her. She doesn't live in the inner house like Yulan.

, not allowed to come out all day long, she told Yulan about her childhood experience of learning martial arts with her brother, as well as some fun things outside. Yulan listened with interest, and no longer felt lonely.

Yu Lan lifted the car curtain and looked outside. She could see the huge motorcade with no head in front and no tail in sight. From this distance, she couldn't even see the emperor's chariot. At this time, the motorcade was still in the capital.

After leaving the city, the streets were under martial law, but through the windows of the houses on both sides, people could still be seen peeking behind the windows. Yu Lan could see the frightened and desperate faces.

The Great Chu has been in peace for a long time, and the people have lived a peaceful life for a long time. Now everyone is afraid of the sudden foreign invasion. The emperor is so timid and takes the lead to go to Nanjing to take refuge. If the example is followed, no one dares to stay.

Defend foreign enemies here.

This glorious imperial capital is now short of major generals and the people are scattered. Can Ye Yichen hold on?

Yulan expressed deep concern.

Yulan thought about it and saw a young man, wearing a gold embroidered python robe and a very long cloak, riding a tall horse galloping past. The saddle inlaid with countless pearls and gems shone in the sun.

Hui. He was originally very fast, but when he saw Yulan, his eyes suddenly glowed with astonishing energy, and his horse slowed down. Yulan recognized the young prince Ye Minzhao at a glance.

She immediately smiled at him with a gentle smile. The young prince immediately responded with a bright smile. He waved his whip and made a "sister" mouth on the horse. It was not convenient to talk here. The young prince glanced at her and saw that

She was still in good spirits, so she rode her horse and escorted her to the front to chase the imperial driver.

The surrounding area was filled with the cars of all the ladies. Yulan noticed that the curtains of many of the cars around him had secretly opened a gap. When Ye Minzhao was growing, she felt that he had grown up a lot every time she saw him. The ancients said

Relatively precocious, he now looks like a handsome young man. It should be considered normal to be able to attract a young girl who is just in love.

The young prince led the guards and just ran out of the place. Han Shi and Yu Peng rushed over from the front. "Little prince, where have you been? Concubine Hui has asked the servants several times? If you make a fuss again,

If we leave without saying goodbye, the lives of the slaves will really be in danger this time!"

Last time, the young prince not only left the palace, but also followed Ye Fengqi out of the Forbidden City. Although he came back unscathed, Concubine Hui was frightened and angry to death. As soon as the young prince returned to the palace, he was grounded by Concubine Hui.

So I wanted to visit Yulan but couldn't get out of the palace. When Han Shi and Yu Peng went back, they were pulled out and beaten twenty times. At this time, the wounds on their buttocks had not healed yet, so they stayed on the horse.

I can't even sit down on my butt.

The young prince smiled and said: "I will go back with you to see my mother and concubine. Don't worry, my mother and concubine will not blame you this time!" He laughed and said: "Today's weather is really good!"

The emperor's chariot left the capital in a mighty manner, and the political center of Da Chu was moved to the Prince Jin's Mansion on Qianhai West Street. Tens of millions of pairs of eyes across the country were looking towards this place.

If Ye Yichen can't defend the capital, then Dachu will be destroyed, if not immediately, at least half of it.

At this time, Ye Yichen summoned all the civilian and military generals who stayed in the capital at the Jin Palace and held the first general military meeting.

Ye Yichen was dressed in military uniform and stood solemnly at the top. He did not sit on the tiger-skin chair. His expression was solemn. He glanced at all the civil servants and generals and spoke sternly:

"The scouting horses ahead have been identified. Tuwu Khan Zuoyan personally led 30,000 troops and horses and has broken through the Zijin Pass. If you want to escape, you can go out immediately. I will not stop you. You can still catch up with the emperor's chariot, but if
