Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 582
Chapter 582 Be Besieged on All Sides
What Yun Xiao, Rong Ruo, and the others did not expect was that they did not wait for Rong Jin and Rong Xun to arrive, but instead waited for the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to attack the city.
When Yun Xiao, Rong Ruo, and the others were reunited, they heard noisy footsteps outside. Then, they saw a soldier quickly running in. That panicked look instantly let everyone know that something big must have happened.
As expected, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have appeared from somewhere. There are suddenly more soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty outside the border city. There are roughly 50,000 of them. At this time, the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are attacking the border city.”
After Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo heard the general’s report, their faces were very embarrassed.
Right now, most of the people who could meet the enemy were taken away to attack the second border of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Chen Zhou. There was very little available strength in the border city, leaving only 30,000 people who could defend the city.
If the two sides only had a huge disparity of twenty thousand troops, they would still have the strength to fight against fifty thousand sieged people with the convenience of occupying the city.
However, Yun Xiao had a bad idea in her heart. With her understanding of Xiao Yuqi, it was impossible for Xiao Yuqi to deploy such a simple thing. Since she dared to hide fifty thousand troops outside the Border City, she naturally had a plan to recapture the Border City.
As long as the border city is recovered, Even if they lost the second city, Chen Zhou City, attacking from both sides, even if it took time, they would be able to trap Rong Jin and Rong Xun’s troops in the second city. At that time, they could capture Rong Jin and Rong Xun alive, and even capture Rong Ruo and the others. At that time, the Eastern Jin and Country of Xiyue did not need to fight anymore and decided to win or lose.
After thinking about this, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. This woman’s scheme was definitely something that no one could compare to!
However, what Yunxiao couldn’t figure out was, what trump card did Xiao Yuqi have to recapture Border City?
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao handed the Tongtong and Nuo in her arms to Granny Yu and Elder Yu and whispered, “Ruo, immediately send people to search the entire Border City. If you see anyone suspicious, arrest them first. If there are any resisters, kill them!”
Yun Xiao’s words were merciless!
Now, at this critical juncture, we absolutely must not let down our guard! Otherwise, if they lost Border City, they would only be left with a tragic ending.
Yun Xiao’s mind immediately reflected the scene of the tragic death of the Yun Clan in her previous life, and Gu Jingwubo’s eyes were filled with determination!
Taking a deep breath, she definitely wanted to protect Border City! Whether it was for the sake of the children, for her own sake, or to leave a path for Rong Jin and Rong Xun to retreat! No matter what, she couldn’t retreat!
Just as Yun Xiao’s voice fell, a general immediately ran over from outside the door and said anxiously, “Report! Report to Your Majesty, there are a large number of people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the north of the border city, causing civil strife!”
“Report, someone has started a civil strife in the south of Border City!”
“Report, someone has started a civil strife in the west of Border City!”
“Report, someone from the east of Border City has started a civil unrest!”
For a moment, the soldier’s voice echoed throughout the room.
Yun Xiao was slightly dumbfounded. The soldier’s report also let Yun Xiao clearly know that her guess was correct!
That woman was indeed unscrupulous!
He could actually start a civil strife in the entire Border City! What shocked Yun Xiao was that Xiao Yuqi had already started to set up this chess game early in the morning, waiting for them to step in step by step!
In fact, when she had sent people to find Rong Jin to discuss the matter, she had already started to plan. From the moment they left the capital and escaped, she had already calculated everything!
Having such an opponent made Yun Xiao a little shocked!
She turned around and looked at Tongtong and Nuo beside her. She would never forget the moment she hugged Er Xiao, Er Xiao stared fixedly at her with her obsidian-like eyes. Her small hands were tightly pulling on her clothes and she was unwilling to let go!
It was as if they clearly knew that they were their mother!
She took a deep breath. This was her and Rong Jin’s child. If she lost Border City, what would happen to the child? The consequences were not something she could bear! She must not allow anything to happen to her child!
She turned around and looked at Rong Ruo, who had been standing beside her. At this moment, Rong Ruo’s face was unprecedentedly cautious. Seeing a child’s face revealing an adult’s expression of deep contemplation, Yun Xiao felt that it was slightly unacceptable. She slowly walked over and tightened her grip on Rong Ruo’s small hand. She whispered, “Ruo, don’t be afraid. We will definitely be able to hold on until Rong Jin and Rong Xun return. We will be fine.”
Hearing Yun Xiao’s voice, Rong Ruo’s soft and waxy little face finally relaxed a little. Then, she whispered, “Mm, we’ll be fine!”
However, in Border City, the situation was extremely troubled. It would definitely not be easy to win this battle intact.
Similar to Yun Xiao, Rong Ruo clearly knew the consequences if she failed, so no matter what, he would not allow her to fail in this battle!
At this moment, the knowledge Rong Jin taught Rong Ruo was displayed. The more nervous the atmosphere was, the more calm it was. “General Feng, follow me to the city wall to meet the enemy! Tie Qinglan, you protect mother and the little prince. General Wan, I’ll leave the internal strife in the city to you. I’ll give you half an hour to suppress the internal strife!”
“Yes!” Everyone respectfully said yes, then Rong Ruo looked at Nuo and Tongtong and whispered to Yun Xiao, “Mother, take care of yourself!”
Yun Xiao’en said, and she saw Rong Ruo walking out with all the soldiers.
She could have stopped Rong Ruo from going to the city wall, but Yun Xiao also knew that now, there was internal strife in the city and there were strong enemies outside. If no one stood out, the morale of the army would also be low, and then the border city would collapse!
As a mother, she wanted to stop him, but she knew that the responsibility on Rong Ruo’s body was useless even if she stopped him!
She could only watch helplessly as Rong Ruo’s tiny figure walked out with all the soldiers.
Of course, Yun Xiao was relieved because she knew that Rong Jin had placed quite a few hidden guards beside Rong Ruo. These hidden guards were enough to ensure Rong Ruo’s safety.
Very quickly, only Yun Xiao and Tie Qinglan were left in the room. Yun Xiao quickly walked into the courtyard. She didn’t know if it was Yun Xiao’s heart that was bothering her. She always felt that she could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting.
“Reporting to Princess Yan, the internal strife in the city is too chaotic and cannot be calmed down for a while. There are also many injured people on the city wall. His Majesty is fine now, so Princess Yan need not worry.”
How could Yun Xiao not be worried? Although Ruo Ruo was not her biological child, she had known Ruo Ruo for a long time and had a deep relationship with her. She even treated Ruo Ruo as her biological child.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao also made a decision in her heart. She looked at Tie Qinglan, who also had an anxious expression, but could only guard her. Even though she said, “Qinglan, I don’t need your protection here. Go out and help!” Tie Qinglan had seen Yun Xiao’s martial arts before, and it was very difficult for ordinary refugees to hurt her.
Tie Qinglan was tempted for a moment, but when she remembered Rong Ruo’s instructions, she frowned and said, “The Emperor told me to guard you.”
Yun Xiao smiled indifferently. “As long as the internal strife and foreign enemies outside are calmed down, nothing will happen here. Besides, there are many people around me. Everything will be fine. Hurry up and go.”
Tie Qinglan saw that Yun Xiao insisted on doing so, and she did not want to stay here any longer, so she simply took her sword and walked out.
After Tie Qinglan left, Yun Xiao still felt that even if these troops went out to help, they would not be able to save much of the overall situation. She frowned and pondered. If they continued, Border City would definitely not be able to protect them!
She must think of a way!
We can’t just sit there and wait for death!
Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao’s expression became even more embarrassed. Especially when she heard the sounds of fighting coming, Yun Xiao’s expression became even more embarrassed.
However, as a woman, she was powerless and did not know anything about the war. How could she help?
Also, how should the civil strife in this city be quelled?
Everything made Yun Xiao feel that she couldn’t catch her breath!
Suddenly, Yun Xiao thought of something, and a trace of sharpness flashed through Gu Jing’s calm eyes.
After Rong Xun had beaten down Border City, he would definitely clean up all the disobedient forces in Border City. Then how could there be civil strife in this city for no reason? How could there be so many soldiers from the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
There must be something strange about this!
“Someone!” When Yun Xiao’s voice fell, she saw a soldier who had stayed behind and said respectfully, “Princess Yan, please give me instructions.”
“Bring some people to investigate. Find out where the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty sneaked in!” “Find out! Find out where the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty sneaked in!” “Find out where the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty sneaked in!” Yun Xiao’s voice was icy cold, and her eyes flashed with undisguised killing intent. This was the first time that Yun Xiao really wanted to get angry, and this was also the first time that Yun Xiao wanted to kill someone!
As long as those people could enter, it wouldn’t be long before more and more soldiers from the Eastern Jin Dynasty would enter. At that time, all their lives would be in danger.
The soldier was slightly stunned. He immediately respectfully replied and turned around to leave. However, when he left, his expression became a little more respectful.
After the guard left, Yun Xiao ordered another soldier and said coldly, “Go to the city gate to investigate and see how many wounded are there. Also, take a look and see how many people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty are sneaking into the border city! Where have they been now? Return and report immediately!”
Now, in the temporary palace, Yun Xiao was the only true master. Originally, they all thought that Yun Xiao was a woman, so they only needed to protect Yun Xiao’s safety. However, they didn’t expect that not only was Yun Xiao not afraid of fighting, she was also stable and good. At this juncture, everyone could only choose to believe Yun Xiao first. After all, if they were really beaten back to Border City by the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there would only be a path of death awaiting them.
