When I heard her mention the reinforcements from Shaanxi, my brows frowned. I said before that it would take at least ten days, but now it has only been a few days. Even if they have wings, they are afraid they will not be able to catch up.

In this case, Zhang Ziyu and the others will still be under a lot of pressure.

And, maybe bigger than before.

Because this time, burning food and grass has annoyed the other party. If I guess correctly, if others don’t say it, Xie Houqi will definitely be furious and he will not give up until he kills the people here. In addition, most of their food and grass are burned, and the longer the time is spent, the more unfavorable it will be for them. If he can achieve his merits in one battle, it would be the best.

Looking back at Linfen City, although it cannot be said to be crumbling after the previous battles, it is also covered in scars.

When the other party saw us closing the city gate and Pei Yuanhao was also in the city, it was impossible to just defend the city unconditionally. He must have known that we were waiting for reinforcements. In Linfen, in addition to the two important military camps, Taiyuan and Xuchang, there is another one that is closest to is Xi'an Prefecture. They can definitely guess that we are waiting for reinforcements from Xi'an Prefecture, and what they have to do is naturally to take down Linfen before the reinforcements arrive.

In this way, their revenge will be more violent this time than any previous attack.

Seeing Chang Qing's face full of worry and worry, I knew that Linfen City is facing a bad situation now, but strangely, I was not too anxious and just comforted her softly: "Empress, don't worry too much. I believe that these things have been calculated by His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Zhang. Linfen City is not so easy to be compromised."

“…”

Chang Qing calmed down for a while, looked up at me, and smiled: "I don't know why, but I feel that others say these words are comforting, but as soon as you say it, I believe it."

I smiled and said, "Then I will not dare to speak in front of the Empress in the future. What should I do if I say one word to become a precept?"

The two of them smiled at each other.

I talked to her for a few more words and said goodbye. Until I left the door, the smile on the corner of my mouth slowly dropped.

Although I was not as worried as her, there was something that always happened to me. After leaving her residence, I took a long way around the yard and walked to the gate of the garden. I happened to meet Zhang Ziyu walking in. When I saw me, I immediately stopped: "Ms. Yan."

I also hurriedly took a step back: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work in the past two days."

"I dare not speak of my hardship."

"By the way, Lord Zhang, I heard that Lord Zhang predicts that the enemy troops outside the city will have another large attack in the past two days, right?"

"It seems that nothing can be hidden from Miss Yan."

"That Lord Zhang thinks, can Linfen be able to spend this time safely?"

"Miss Yan——Is there something that makes Miss Yan not confident about the current situation?"

He said, but without waiting for my answer, he glanced at me and said, "Is it because of General Deng's incident?"

My eyes flashed slightly: "Mr. Zhang seems to have his own opinion on this matter."

He smiled faintly and shook his head: "The grudge between General Deng and Mr. Liu is something that happened before Linfen, and I will not judge it arbitrarily."

I stepped forward and said, "How did Lord Zhang think of them?"

“…”

My question seemed to have been a bit of a problem. A person like Zhang Ziyu, who is so wise, was a little speechless at this time. After a while, he slowly said: "At least now, Mr. Liu's prediction of the situation is not wrong."

“…”

Although this sounds good, I always feel like I'm still not finished. I looked at his eyes intently and waited for the second half of his sentence. Sure enough, after Zhang Ziyu was silent for a while, he slowly said: "If you are afraid, you are afraid--"

"What are you afraid of?"

“…”

He was silent for a while before slowly saying: "At the moment, all forces are converging here, and it is complicated. Any decision of any person may affect the overall situation of the world. Miss Yan, I just hope that Mr. Liu's decision will not change his original intention."

“…”

"The world will be peaceful sooner or later."

“…!”

For some reason, I felt a little scared when I heard him say the last sentence.

Zhang Ziyu probably felt that it was a bit too plain, so he immediately smiled and covered it up, then bowed to me and turned around and left. I stood there for a while before slowly turning back and watching his back disappear into the garden.

What he said just now seemed to be something wrong.

I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't think of it. So I planned to go to General Deng's side as I thought before. Unexpectedly, after asking someone, I found out that General Deng was transferred early this morning. It is said that several of his deputy generals came over from the emperor and brought him back to the military camp.

As soon as I heard this result, I knew that Pei Yuanhao temporarily suppressed that matter.

And I understand even more that that battle is probably imminent.

The next day, outside the city began to move. I heard someone coming outside to report the news several times. I heard that some tall shadows appeared in the enemy camp outside the city. However, because it was too far away, the spies could not go out, so I didn't know what it was. But looking at it, it should be something they prepared to attack Linfen City.

Although I don’t know what it is, what people fear most is the unknown. Even the people in the official office were talking about it. However, Zhang Ziyu still did his work step by step, put down the documents for the dispatch of troops every day, and mobilized a lot of militia to strengthen several damaged city walls, especially the city gates that were about to be broken before.

Soon, the preparations for the challenge were ready.

On the third night, everyone didn't sleep all night. Chang Qing and I stayed in her residence. Miaoyan was sitting with us at the beginning, nervous, but by the end of the night she couldn't hold it anymore and kept dozing in my arms. I gently asked Kuaer and the others to carry her to the couch. The girl didn't wake up, so she just smashed her mouth and continued to sleep.

Just when Chang Qing and I were a little tired and I couldn't even hold back my eyelids and started fighting, a sudden palpitations suddenly made me open my eyes.

On the other side, Chang Qing also raised her head suddenly.

Both of us seemed to feel something, so we immediately stood up and walked to the window, opened the window and looked out.

I saw the dark sky suddenly lit up.

Is it dawn?

But when I looked back at the hourglass, I realized that it was still late at night and the hour of Yin was not over yet, so why was it dawn?

Moreover, the light flashed, as if something emitted a dazzling light that broke through the silence of the night and illuminated the sky. When a ray of light passed, another ray of light flashed.

Just as she and I watched the sky flash by and were stunned, suddenly, a loud bang came from afar.

It was like thunder in the dry land, which made the whole city tremble for a moment.

What's going on?

After that loud bang, the second and third sounds were heard one after another in the distance, probably in the direction of the city gate. I felt that the windowsills under my hands seemed to be trembling, and countless people's terrified shouts pierced the night sky.

They started attacking?!

But what was the rays of light and loud noise?

Not only me, this time, even Chang Qing was frightened. Her face was pale, and under the reflection of the white light in the sky, it became more and more pale. She looked at me in horror: "Light, what's that ringing?"

“…”

I can't answer.

As the queen and the daughter of the Grand Tutor, she has experienced many things, but she has not experienced much such things as war. On the contrary, I have experienced many wars and have seen many earth-shaking situations on the battlefield. Such a big noise is really rare.

Looking back at the daytime, some people said that when they saw the tall figures appearing in the enemy camp outside the city, were they used to attack the city?

Just as I was thinking about it, several white lights flashed in the sky one after another, with loud noises of landslides and cracks. Even the people in the official office made terrified cry. I looked back and Miaoyan was also awakened by such loud noises. Sitting on the bed, I felt a little surprised and looked at us with wide eyes.

At this time, something suddenly happened to me, and I turned to Chang Qing and said, "Empress, please take care of Miaoyan on my behalf."

When he heard what I said, Chang Qing was stunned for a moment. Miaoyan immediately jumped out of the bed, and didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He ran to me: "Mom, what are you going to do?"

I said, "Mom, come and take a look."

"What are you looking at? There's a war outside!"

"Yes, light," Chang Qing had already grabbed my wrist with one hand and said with a serious expression: "This is not something that can be played around with. What if you are injured?"

I hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to the city gate, I just want to go and have a look."

"What are you going to see?"

"I, I want to confirm it."

“Certified?”

As soon as I heard what I said, I realized that I was not really "making a fuss". Chang Qing subconsciously let go of her hand, and I lowered my head and said to Miaoyan: "You are obedient, don't run around, I just go out and take a look and come back."

After saying that, I handed her to Chang Qing's hands, and I turned around and walked out.

Although it was a bit messy outside, Zhesheng and the others followed me soon. Just as they were about to approach the gate of the official office, they saw a carriage parked at the door, and Pei Yuanhao was walking in.
