Chapter 66

broken city

Early in the morning, Qin Jun woke up with a soft and delicate body.

Ji Si's breath lightly brushed against her ears, and said softly, "Are you awake?"

Qin Jun turned to face her, still tired, "Yes."

Ji Si said: "The servant sent water?"

Qin Jun yawned, got up slowly, and let Ji Si dress herself. When the pajamas fell off, Qin Jun still turned around and fastened her bellyband.

Ji Si looked at the snowy back, her smile faded away, and her eyes froze on it. It wasn't until Qin Jun turned to face her that she moved her mouth again and helped Qin Jun put on the remaining clothes as if nothing had happened.

"Tell the people in the house, let's go for a walk after dinner."

Ji Si nodded. After breakfast, the city of Shangjing was deserted. The market had changed from a non-stop market to a daily one every three days. There were armored patrols everywhere in the city.

Qin Jun pointed to a certain street: "Look, in that street, most of the people living there are civil officials, but the officials above the third rank are scattered all over the capital."

In order to prevent the risk of forming a party for personal gain, Capital's officials will take the initiative to avoid suspicion after they become bigger.

Qin Jun: "The servant of the household department, the minister, I don't know where he lives."

Ji Si: "Grab an officer and ask him?"

Qin Jun smiled: "When you arrest people in the morning, those who go with you will know about it, and report to the peak immediately. Everyone will only think that Capital has got involved in the secret work."

Ji Si pursed her lips and hummed.

The capital is so big, it is so difficult to find one, Qin Jun and Ji Si wandered around for a long time, but found nothing.

On weekdays, you can ask a few people to ask, but now that Capital's heart is unstable, asking about the residence of the imperial court official, I'm afraid it will make the people uneasy.

"The key to the warehouse of the household department must be in Shangshu's possession."

"Maybe it's on Shangshu, but when the Ministry of Accounts opens a warehouse, there are always layers of procedures to go through..."

Qin Jun leaned in Ji Si's arms and couldn't stop talking to herself, "The best time is to take advantage of the day when the city is broken, and the capital is in chaos. Soldiers from all over the place are sent to guard the city gate. Of course, there are still people in the household department.", but the city gate has the most people, followed by the palace, and the household department will not exceed 300 people..."

After another two days like this, the battle reports at the city gate became more and more frequent. Although the city didn't know how the battle had reached, they also knew that the situation must be urgent.

A large number of people gathered at the gate of the city, and many officials and wives also sent people to inquire from afar.Or send a servant to wait at the gate of the palace every day with a cart, and the people in the city can hardly be suppressed. The imperial court ordered a curfew, and no disturbances and gatherings were allowed during the day.

After two days of such strict management, Jingzhong really calmed down, but when Qin Jun came out of the mansion, everyone he saw couldn't help showing a confused look in their eyes.

The people of Capital have not heard the report of the battle for a long time. Many people are lucky, thinking that it may be over, and the third prince may win, but no one can tell whether this is the calm before the storm.

On this day, the servant who was sent out to inquire about the matter finally returned home.

The servant said: "Yes, I live in the Northwest Lane, but the palace has not released anyone, so the Shangshu is not in the mansion."

After hearing this, Qin Jun said, "If we don't let the officials go home again, I'm afraid the wives will drag the white silks and hang them in a row at the Meridian Gate to blow the wind."

The servant smiled wryly after hearing this, and as he was speaking, Jin Xiu pushed a person in, kicked the person in the knee, and said, "Dark guard."

Dark Guard: "..."

The secret guard who had caught the report earlier fell ill. Unexpectedly, the gang from Jiang Prefecture also entered Beijing at some point.

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si asked, "What about the others?"

Dark Guard: "..."

Jin Xiu sits, looks to the right, and picks up a wooden chair.

The secret guard hurriedly said: "They have all gone to Beijing, and they are still protecting the princess in the dark."

No one asked how the group of people with strict guards in the capital got in, and Qin Jun couldn't help shaking her head and lost her voice. She had forgotten that the dark guards were ordered by the emperor, not only to protect Qin Bian's safety, but also to be in charge of Qin Bian's information flow.

If one person knows Qin Jun's whereabouts, if the transmission channel is not cut off in time, the rest of the people will receive the news one after another.

Qin Jun gasped. In this way, the gathering of ten hidden guards was enough to form a guard.

Ji Si said: "Can you avoid people's eyes and ears and enter the capital? Is there a secret passage in the city?"

The dark guard nodded, "Yes."

Jin Xiu: "Since you are in Beijing, why don't you show up as soon as possible?"

The dark guard stopped talking.

Qin Jun and Ji Si looked at each other, and they couldn't help guessing that they were ordered to show up quietly and take Qin Jun away from Capital if there was an emergency.

Qin Bian had gone to great lengths for her.It's just that he didn't expect that the dark guard would be discovered by Jin Xiu, who is superior in lightness kung fu.

Qin Jun pursed her lips, "Since it has been revealed, let everyone else be called in."

Not long after, ten men with embarrassed faces stood in the hall. Everyone looked at Qin Jun dumbfounded, and knelt down to beg for punishment.

Even Ji Si couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

This group of hidden guards was originally the elite among the elites around the emperor, a group of people who used to be unsmiling, followed Qin Jun to do business, farm...everything was done, they really made the best use of everything, and were played around by Qin Jun.

"This is enough manpower." Qin Jun smiled.

One of the dark guards can stand up to three people, no matter how big the capital is, there is nothing they don't know.

After Qin Jun finished giving her orders, the porter came to report that someone had arrived from the palace.

Qin Jun: "Come in, please."

From time to time, an old man with a slightly stooped figure came in.

Qin Jun pursed her lips, and Jin Xiu went to make tea, while Ji Si stood by the gate.

"Eunuch Fu." Qin Jun sighed.

Eunuch Fu was dressed in ordinary people's attire. After saluting to Qin Jun, he knelt down and said, "Princess, it's time for you to leave Capital."

Qin Jun asked, "Is it really dangerous?"

Eunuch Fu shook his head: "No one can say for sure, but this morning... Sun Xiang drew up a plan for moving the capital, which caused a mutiny in the court."

Qin Jun's expression changed, "You mean... how did the father say..."

Fu Gonggong said: "Your Majesty has an upright temperament, and he absolutely cannot make a scene of surrendering without standing up, or abandoning the city and ignoring the people."

Qin Jun was stunned: "Then why do you..."

Fu Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, the only one who is worried about is the princess, so I made the worst plan."

The worst plan would be to destroy the city, and the barbarians would come in and massacre and loot the city involuntarily.

Qin Jun said hoarsely: "Let's go together, can't we?"

Eunuch Fu shook his head. If Qin Bian left and no one supervised the country, even if Shangjing was handed over to the barbarians, how could Qin Bian agree?

Qin Jun closed her eyes and sighed, "I see."

"Let the eunuch tell His Majesty," Qin Jun got up and helped Eunuch Fu up, "The sixth princess is the sixth princess of Qin Zhouqi, since she is back, why did she leave so easily?"

"The people of Capital are also my people." Qin Jun said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you, father-in-law, please tell my father the exact words."

Eunuch Fu choked with sobs: "Princess."

Qin Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't make it to that point."

Eunuch Fu shook his head, still knelt down, and handed a token to Qin Jun, "Tomorrow, tomorrow at the latest, His Majesty will release all the officials who have been locked in the city for more than a month, and instant messages will not be able to stop them."

Qin Jun was stunned, no wonder Beijing had never been able to find out the battle situation, the battle reports were sent directly to the palace, only the civil and military officials in the palace knew about it, and Qin Bian sealed everyone who knew about it in the palace?

"The number of wounded soldiers coming down from the front line is increasing day by day. The princess saw that all the soldiers who were sent into the city were still alive. Outside the city... long ago... dead bodies littered the fields outside the canyon pass..."

Qin Jun's face turned pale.

Eunuch Fu looked at Qin Jun sadly, and sighed in embarrassment: "If this old slave can't persuade the princess when he goes out of the palace this time, what face will he have to go back to see His Majesty!"

After Fu Gonggong finished speaking, a burst of force broke out, suddenly pushed Qin Jun down, and slammed into the wooden pile in the hall!

Qin Jun didn't have time to warn Ji Si Jin Xiu, her pupils widened, unexpectedly, a stone pierced through the air and hit Fu Gonggong on the side of the neck, and Fu Gonggong passed out immediately.

Half of Qin Jun's three souls and seven souls were scared away, and she looked at Ji Si with a pale face, "How do you know that he will seek death?"

Ji Si helped Qin Jun up, "The eyes of people who want to die are different."

Qin Jun grabbed Ji Si's arm and stood up, but was so frightened by Eunuch Fu that his legs went limp.

Jin Xiu came in with tea, saw the scene in the hall, and listened to Qin Jun's dictation, and said, "It's too risky."

Jin Xiu wanted to leave again, and kept persuading Qin Jun.

Qin Jun asked: "Can't you protect me? Jin Xiu?"

Jin Xiu didn't say any more, put down the teacup, and asked someone to carry Eunuch Fu down to rest, and then said: "If Jin Xiu dies, the princess will not die in Capital."

When Qin Jun heard this, he was looking at the Capital secret passage icon painted by the dark guard, and responded casually: "I know."

Jin Xiu hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

Ji Si looked deeply at Jin Xiu who was sitting on the porch, "Your loyalty is really admirable."

Jin Xiu turned her head irritably, "You're not bad either."

Ji Si twitched the corners of her mouth, and now that things had come to an end, she could no longer show a false smile, just like Jin Xiu, ruthlessly watching the autumn leaves rustling in the courtyard.

Qin Jun came out suddenly, holding the spirit card given by Eunuch Fu in his hand, "Why are you standing here?"

Jin Xiu Ji Si Qiqi looked back at her.

Qin Jun said: "Go find someone, approve a note, and send the servants in the mansion out of the capital first."

Jin Xiu stood up: "He's gone..."

Qin Jun: "It's enough for Ji Si to serve me. In troubled times, there's no need to change clothes and have three or five people serve me. Go, before Capital's way to the south is blocked."

Ji Si looked at Qin Jun and asked her with his eyes.

Qin Jun said: "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, but it also depends on whether there are life flowers. That's all, just grab as much as you can."

Jin Xiu went down to do some business, took the spirit card and went to the city gate school to get a note from the city. He was still not familiar with where Capital’s official residence was, but fortunately he vaguely knew where the official residence was. After going there, he found that the Chengmen school was overcrowdedPeople who want to leave the city but can't.

Jin Xiu thought about it, took the spirit card and gave it together, hundreds of people took out the city strips just like that, and kowtowed to Jin Xiu in gratitude.

City Gate School: "..."

Jin Xiu didn't return home until dusk, and didn't tell Qin Jun about it, but gave the note to the servants, ordering them to pack their bags and leave the city overnight.

The next day, Qin Jun's meal was said to be burned by the secret guard, and she ate alone, while Ji Si scrubbed Qin Jun's clothes in the courtyard, and Jin Xiu went out to inquire about the news again, and took the token Qin Jun gave to the city gate to transfer.Go around and report back to the mansion after noon.

The gate of the palace opened, and the officials finally went home. Everyone was wearing smelly clothes, and they hadn’t changed their clothes for more than a month. The Minister of the Household Department went straight back to the mansion, wept and hugged with his family, and then had a hearty meal., ordered people to boil water to freshen up.

One by one, the clothes were hung on the wooden rack, and the Hubu Shangshu rubbed the acacia on his body.

The guard standing outside the door suddenly passed out, and was dragged to a hiding place by his shoulder blades.

Several maidservants turned around the corridor with a change of clothes, all of them were beautiful, except for a burly and tall one who was disguised by a dark guard, the rest were Qin Jun, Jin Xiu and Ji Si.

"master."

"Come in." The Minister of the Household Department said from inside the door.

Qin Jun entered the room first, Jin Xiu closed the door behind her, and the dark guard carried half a bucket of water to pour it into the wooden barrel.

Dark Guard: "..."

Hubu Shangshu had never seen such a burly maid, he was about to scream, and was pointed at the sleeping hole by Jin Xiu from behind, and fell asleep.

Qin Jun clutched her nose and rummaged through the dirty clothes Shang Shu had replaced, and found a bunch of keys totaling four, her hair was covered with black lines.

Ji Si smiled lightly, and took out ink pads from her side, turning one into two, two into three...a total of five ink pads!

Jin Xiu: "..."

Qin Jun's eyes lit up, and he rubbed the key's front and back on the inkpad.

Qin Jun: "How?"

Ji Si: "It's fine."

"Go!" Jin Xiu said.

Several figures in the front and rear climbed over the high wall of the household department one after another.

"As soon as Minister Hubu wakes up—"

"Turn left!" Qin Jun interrupted the hidden guard, "So what if you wake up, and you haven't lost the key!"

Jin Xiu came up from behind, holding in her arms the treasures she looted from Shangshu's mansion.

The dark guard stopped saying anything immediately.

In this way, it only needs to be disguised as an ordinary burglary. Anyway, ordinary people can't open the warehouse even if they take the key of the warehouse of the household department.

To go to the household department, to get money and food, you need to find someone to open the formalities, and you can't get anything from the slips from various officials and government offices.

After returning to the house, among the hidden guards there was also an expert lockpicker who forged a key to Tuo Ni. Qin Jun rolled up his sleeves while waiting, and used a setback to smash the iron.

At the same time, as the civil and military officials were released from the palace, the news really stopped like a snowflake.

The canyon pass is lost, and to the north of Capital, there is only one line of defense left at Junshan.

When Qin Jun heard the news, a chill ran down his spine.

When the battle report arrived, the imperial court recruited troops in the city and sent troops to dig trenches outside the city to garrison. It was only a matter of time before the barbarians crossed Junshan.

The third prince is still fighting to the death on the front line.

November, Capital is extraordinarily cold this year.

Li's mansion dug out the old charcoal from last year, and there was already a light snowfall in the sky and the earth.

The dispute with the barbarians seems to have lasted for almost a year.

Qin Jun held the key and gestured to the candlelight, "Is it polished?"

Ji Si handed over the rubbing mold, and Qin Jun put the key in his hand on it, and the key fit perfectly with the rubbing.

"All right."

There was constant commotion outside the mansion, Qin Jun put away the keys and went to see with Ji Si, a group of people were banging on the door of Li's mansion.

The dark guard yelled loudly, and the people saw that this house was not a land without an owner, so they dispersed loudly.

Qin Jun: "What's going on?"

The hidden guard: "Seeing that there is no one at the door, the common people may want to find some money and silk artifacts."

Qin Jun shook her head helplessly: "Is there any news outside today?"

The dark guard shook his head, Qin Jun was discouraged, "Your Majesty still refuses to see me?"

The dark guard didn't dare to say anything and just knelt down towards Qin Jun.

Tai Chi Hall

"What the hell are we going to do!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War roared: "I want someone! There is no one! You can choose whether to go out of the city to meet the attack or retreat to the capital!"

Hubu: "No one will come, Capital only has 5,000 city defenses left, and then adjust, who will defend the city!"

"Deploying troops from the south..."

"The soldiers from the south have already been sent to Jindi! Come to Capital? Then Jindi will also be handed over to Yuan people!"

"Minister of the Ministry of War!" The second prince roared, "Pay attention to your attitude!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was furious, turned around and cupped his fists towards Qin Bian in the main hall: "I wish to lead the army——"

"What did the servant say!" A civil servant sarcastically said, "Why didn't General Li die without you volunteering?"

"Why do you have to fight bravely, the servant, just look at your broken arm!"

"you"

"Wait! You can only wait! Stand firm, the princes of all states will definitely come to serve the king!"

"The people of Capital..."

"How will the family members be arranged?"

"How to arrange the wounded soldiers?"

"—The South has collected 120,000 catties of grain and grass."

"Twelve! Why is it so small!"

"That's all, it can't be shipped to Capital!"

"Enough!" Sun Zhong said, and suddenly, the hall was silent.

"His Majesty!"

Qin Bian sat in the main hall, looking rather haggard, and asked, "Do you respond to King Qin's orders?"

The King Qin Order has been issued for more than a month. The most recent king of Suizhou is supposed to arrive at Capital in 15 days with an army. Will there be no news?

Why are there no kings in Jiang Prefecture, Suizhou, Jindi, and Qushui?

Jindi and the general are too busy to take care of themselves. The Jiang Prefecture has not much troops and has been transferred to the Eternal Border. Why is the Suizhou Canal not serving as the king?

No one dared to answer Qin Bian's words.

Wei Sun Zhongdao: "Your Majesty, the Gorge Pass has been fought for a year. The states recruited 100,000 soldiers and sent them to the Canyon Pass. More than half of them were killed or injured. I'm afraid they will not be able to help Beijing."

Qin Bian said without anger, "It seems that the protons of Taixue have become abandoned children."

The civil and military officials kept silent, Qin Bian and the princes had grievances as early as seven years ago, so naturally they would not sincerely serve the king, and some of them might have had other intentions long ago.

"Report"

Outside the main hall, a soldier came rushing forward: "King Jing of Suizhou, King Qin, and the troops have been stopped at Huanghe Pass!"

The court was in an uproar, "What!"

The soldier had obviously come here after a bloody battle, and he carried a handwritten letter from King Jing, "Return to Your Majesty, Huang He..."

King Jing guarded a prefecture with two thousand soldiers from the government and 10,000 soldiers from the prefecture. King Jing led five thousand troops to the expedition. The army marched quickly for ten days. At Huanghe, they were intercepted by Hu people pretending to be refugees entering the customs.

"What time is it?" Qin Bian asked.

Soldier: "It took three days for the villain to go from Aeguan to Capital."

That is to say, if King Jing does not come tomorrow, it will be 5,000 soldiers and horses, all of which will be lost in Huanghe.

This shows that the Hu people scattered from the Eternal Border or the land to the north of Qin and Zhou. They either surrounded Capital, burned, killed and looted all over Qin and Zhou, and smashed Qin and Zhou into sieves.

Needle drop can be heard in the main hall.

The next moment, all the officials collapsed and looked at Qin Bian one after another.

Qin Bian looked ten years older, and said slowly, "Open the city gate."

Sun Zhong: "Your Majesty?"

Qin Bian: "Let the people go out of Beijing, as far as they can go."

"Come here," Qin Bian said, rising from the main hall like a huge mountain, "The Ministry of War counts troops, and the Ministry of Households counts grain and grass."

The officials were astonished and knelt down towards Qin Bian one after another: "Your Majesty!"

Qin Bian said in a deep voice, "Please Tianzijian."

"Your Majesty," Sun Zhong suddenly said, walked out from the ranks of officials, saluted, and handed over the memorial, "Your Majesty, if this battle is defeated, the matter of moving the capital..."

"Master Xiang!" Someone was furious, "Your Majesty's personal conquest, how can you say defeat!"

Sun Zhong looked decisively at Qin Bian. He knew that Qin Bian would only agree to move the capital if he mentioned moving the capital at this time.

"That's it." Qin Bian said calmly, turned and left.

As soon as Qin Bian left, all the Ministers and Ministers of the Ministry of Household and Military Affairs went to the side hall to discuss matters.

Only Sun Zhong and the others were left in the main hall. Everyone wanted to leave but dared not, and they all waited for Sun Zhong to preside over the overall situation.

Sun Zhong: "Your Majesty has made up his mind. Everyone, go back and settle down with your family members. If you can, go as much as you can. Central Capital is a blessed place. All the ministers died at the front line. What are you talking about about the court?"

As soon as Sun Zhong's words fell, the government and the people couldn't help feeling sad.

Someone said: "Suizhou is in the north, and the barbarians invaded. The first thing to do is to block the north-south passage and go northeast."

As soon as these words came out, the civil servants and military officers already had the intention of retreating.

"If we leave, will His Majesty be left fighting alone?"

Sun Zhong waited for a long time, saw this and didn't say anything, he left the main hall first, and the rest of the people scattered like birds and beasts, seemingly silent but actually had a lot of thoughts, and they all knew that they couldn't leave the capital easily.

Whether the city will be broken or not is yet to be known. If it is carried down, regardless of defeat, as long as it is alive, it is to share weal and woe with His Majesty. Needless to say, there is friendship here.All will be criticized by the world.

"The city gate is open."

Jin Xiu said.

Qin Jun hummed, and squatted on the ground to polish her sleeve arrows.

Jin Xiu: "Your Majesty wants to conquest."

Qin Jun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, sharpening her sleeve arrow vigorously.

In the next few days, Capital opened up the city gate, and the City Guard School set up a platform at the gate to designate the way for the people fleeing south.

Capital tens of thousands of people, if they all go to Jiangnan, it will only make Jiangnan the next refugee camp. Therefore, each state will send points, take the documents issued by the imperial court, and move to various places in the Qin and Zhou Dynasties at will..

"My lord, my uncle's family is in Bingzhou, can you..."

"Get out! Hugh has to bargain, get out of the city gate, and go to the east road and north road!"

Chaos broke out at the gate of the city, and in a short while, the people crowded the gate and the soldiers who were about to go out to fight against the city.

There were even deserters in the barracks, who disguised themselves as civilians and fled among the crowd. They were all found and killed in public.

The people in Shangjing are panicked, facing a sense of self-defeating at any time, which is the consequence of unstable morale.

Qionglou and Yuyulou keep playing and singing every night, and literati and inkmen still talk about it, talking about the subversion of the world in Qin and Zhou Dynasties.

That night, there was an uproar in Shangjing, which was originally lonely, and a fire broke out in the north. Hu people set fire to Junshan Mountain. The fire burned for three days and three nights. The sparks drifted along the winter wind for dozens of miles, and burned to the foot of the mountain.Burned through the surrounding villages of the capital.

Everything is immersed in the bleakness of winter.

The spies came to report that the barbarians crossed Junshan, blocked the south and north roads, and the whereabouts of the third prince were unknown.

Qin Jun heard a frightening number. Since the Huren earthquake and murderous intentions were hidden last year, reinforcements from all over the Central Plains have never stopped. The recruits rush to help Capital, but they continue to die outside the pass. Twenty thousand soldiers died in avalanches, ten thousandFour thousand died from the cold, and even more died fighting the Hu people.

From last year to this year, too many people have died in Capital. This time, the Junshan fire burned the road to the north to transport supplies, and the soldiers outside the customs do not know how many people will die.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, with constant snowfall and the smell of burnt corpses in the air, the garrison on the mountain probably could not escape the fire.

The exit of the secret road in the capital is a river. If it is summer, you can leave the capital by putting two boats here. But in winter, the river freezes, so you can only take a risky ride or travel. Everything, everything just waits for the time to come.

The Junshan fire was a signal for the Hu people to charge.

"Princess?" Ji Si asked.

Qin Jun turned her head, her eyebrows were covered with frost from the wind and snow, "What's wrong?"

Ji Si: "Concubine Ji is here, I beg the princess to accompany you out of the city."

Qin Jun turned her head: "Don't go."

At this moment, even Ji Si couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty should know that if morale is lost, you will be defeated like a mountain, so let the officials and the people go out of the city."

Qin Jun inhaled deeply, then exhaled slowly, and asked, "Are the chariots and horses ready?"

Ji Si: "Yes."

Qin Jun: "Let's go."

"Here."

Concubine Ji waited anxiously in the front hall, but she couldn't wait for anyone, and she couldn't wait for the servants to answer. She and her entourage came to the backyard to see that Qin Jun had already gone to the building.

The Hu people set off from Junshan, and within two days, they approached the city and stationed troops ten miles outside the city gate. The arrows carried the war letter and set them on the army flag on the city wall!

Inside the city, countless soldiers flocked to the city gate. The people who did not go out of the city gate were terrified and had to close their windows and doors. Some people wanted to go out from the west of the city, but before they could escape, they were trampled to death by the horseshoes of street cavalry.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Fu whispered.

Qin Bian took advantage of the situation and raised his elbow to make him wear armor for himself.

Young Master Yi is by his side, holding the Son of Heaven sword.

"Who is it!" Hubu soldiers shouted.

"The city gate is broken," the dark guard, dressed in black, flashed out the token in his hand, "I am His Majesty's personal guard, and I am ordered to transfer gold and silver!"

The Hubu soldiers looked shocked: "What, what?"

The servant of the household department dared to shout: "Who is it!"

The dark guard threw the token on the servant.

The Minister of the Household Department inspected it carefully and found nothing abnormal, but he was still vigilant and said: "Without the approval of Lord Shangshu, I am sorry that I cannot let you go!"

The household guards quickly gathered at the door and surrounded a group of hidden guards and two carriages.

The hidden guard: "Here is the key. I am in a hurry. There is no time to approve the official document. Open the door!"

At this moment, in the direction of Duanmen, a soldier with a token galloped across the market on horseback.

"Your Majesty has an order, all soldiers come with me—"

The secret guard took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty has orders, so hurry up!"

The guard frowned, still unwilling to let him go, saying: "The household department is heavily guarded! I can't let you go until I see the approval!"

At this moment, the bell at the city gate rang, and there was a loud bang.

——That was the sound of a catapult throwing a boulder to attack the enemy.

The hidden guard: "Delaying the military plane will kill you without mercy!"

The servant of the household department had no choice but to let the secret guard go.

Qin Jun, Ji Si, and Jin Xiu drove two carriages and entered the gate of the household department.

Seeing that both Qin Jun and Ji Si were disguised, the waiter didn't become suspicious, so the three of them acted as coachmen and let them in.

The sound of killing outside the city gate was loud and boulders roared. It was unknown how the battle was going. Qin Jun watched absently as the guards moved the silver box.

The servant took the notebook and still carefully recorded the money for loading the car.

Jin Xiu winked, and from time to time, a soldier ran over and shouted, "Minister, dispatch reinforcements from the city gate, hurry up!"

The servant turned pale with fright, and immediately led his people to the city gate.

The Ministry of Households lost half of its guards.

Qin Jun said in a low voice: "Move the gold first, no no no, find the bank notes first, and then move the gold, hurry up!"

Everyone quickly carried boxes and loaded cars, and the rest of the guards looked in the direction of the city gate with worried faces.

"Enough is enough, if you take it again, you will be found... walk around."

Two carriages left the department.

The servant of the department household rushed to the city gate, but he didn't see the summoning order. He immediately understood the trick and immediately led his troops back to the household department.

At this moment, an arrow pierced the night sky, followed by arrows flying all over the sky, hitting like rain, the servant was hit by the sudden rain of arrows and nailed to the ground!

The arrows hit the doors and windows, the kerosene from the arrows ignited the wood, the capital gas fires, thick smoke billowed, and the screams and wailing of the people and the cries of children and women were everywhere.

A roar sounded in the side street, followed by the soldiers' response, "Long live my emperor!"

Qin Jun paused at the entrance of the alley, then turned her head in fear, "It's Father——"

A knife was struck on the side of Qin Jun's neck, Qin Jun lost consciousness and fell limply in Jin Xiu's arms.

Ji Si narrowed her eyes slightly.

Jin Xiu said: "Your Majesty has an order to protect the princess in times of crisis."

Ji Si stopped talking, snatched Qin Jun from Jin Xiu's arms, jumped into the carriage, and rode to the secret passage.

Heavy snow fell, covering the ruts of the horseshoes. Qin Jun was jolted awake by the horses. After waking up, there was a sharp pain in the side of her neck and she suddenly regained consciousness. She frowned and opened her eyes. Capital was already caught in a sea of flames.

Qin Jun grabbed Ji Si's forearm and asked hoarsely, "Is it..."

"The city is broken." Ji Si knelt in front of Qin Jun, gently caressed her face, then hugged Qin Jun violently, stepped out of the room, jumped over the high wall with Qin Jun in her arms, and rushed to the entrance of the secret passage.

The entrance is a forged dry well, hidden in a desolate house in Shangjing City, the iron lock outside the door has been closed, and one person needs to be left to block the well mouth with huge stones.

Qin Jun's eyes widened: "I have to help him!"

Ji Si put Qin Jun into the mouth of the well, ordered Jin Xiu to follow her, stood up and said, "I'll stay."

Qin Jun: "Wait!"

Qin Jun grabbed Ji Si's sleeve suddenly, "It's Xi Jiang's assassin!"

Ji Si smiled, and said in a firm tone: "You have known for a long time that the city will be destroyed, and you know that His Majesty will personally conquer, and you know that no matter what, the imperial court will move the capital, and you know that Your Majesty will die in this battle, so you returned to Beijing forsave him."

When the sixth princess died, all the emperors and princes of Qin and Zhou died.

To rejuvenate the Zhou family, Qin Jun must ensure that Qin Zhou has an emperor who will lead the officials!

Qin Jun's lips trembled slightly: "Lady Pin..."

"The slave is gone," Ji Si bowed, and gently leaned over to kiss Qin Jun's lips: "I will definitely not disgrace my life."

With tears in her eyes, Qin Jun was pulled into the tunnel by Jin Xiu.
