Chapter 449 Layout
Looking at Xiao Yi's cowardly look, Empress Dowager Naruhito almost bit her little white teeth off.
If she had known Xiao Yi was so incompetent, she should not have gone to such great lengths to make him emperor.
It's too late to regret now.
"Xiao Mo has only been in Ningchuan Prefecture for two years. Even if he has great abilities, it would be good enough for him to have 50,000 private soldiers. Your Majesty has nothing to be afraid of."
"Mother, Xiao Mo has already taken over Luojiu City. There are more than 50,000 soldiers defending Luojiu City alone."
Xiao Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.
On one hand, Prince Zheng was unstoppable and was about to bring his troops to the gates of the city, while on the other hand, Xiao Mo was eyeing him covetously.
Any one of them would be enough to give him a headache.
"I will go to see General Ding myself."
The soldiers of the South Camp are the last trump card of Empress Dowager Deren and Xiao Yi.
As for whether the soldiers of the South Camp will stop King Zheng or King Qin, it depends on General Ding's intention.
Unfortunately, General Ding is not so easily fooled.
Just when he asked for the tiger talisman, Empress Dowager Naruhito wanted to strangle him to death.
Queen Dowager Deren argued with General Ding for a long time, and General Ding only agreed to lead 20 troops to intercept Xiao Mo. As for Prince Zheng, he let her find a way to deal with it herself.
At this point, Empress Dowager Naruhito had no choice but to agree.
The next day, General Ding led his army to break camp and head west to stop Xiao Mo.
Queen Dowager Naruhito mobilized all her forces and prepared to fight a decisive battle with King Zheng.
Ye Jintang, who was far away in Ningchuan City, was preparing luggage for Xiao Mo.
Although to the outside world Xiao Mo is already in Luojiu City, he has actually never left Ningchuan City, and the person in Luojiu City is just his substitute.
"Your Majesty, the various medicines in this medicine bag are all used to save your life. You must carry them with you and never lose them."
"You must remember, as long as you are still alive, no matter how serious your injury is, I will heal you."
Ye Jintang handed Xiao Mo a medicine bag embroidered with red crabapple flowers.
The medicine bag was heavy, with 20 longevity pills in it.
"I understand, Jintang, don't worry. Even if I can't capture the capital, I won't risk my life."
"In my heart, you and the child are more important than my life."
Xiao Mo, wearing soft armor, hugged Ye Jintang tightly, not knowing when he would see him again.
"In three months at most, I will definitely be able to take over the capital. By then, I will send someone to take you and the child back to the capital."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
When Ye Jintang was packing Xiao Mo's luggage, she wanted to give him all the good things in her warehouse, for fear that he would suffer on the road.
Looking at the two large bags of luggage, Xiao Mo couldn't help but kiss her hard on the cheek.
“I can’t use so much stuff.”
"Huh? I feel like I've brought very little."
"I just need a bag."
Xiao Mo did it himself and packed a bag in a short while. He only brought a set of clothes to change and some food, and didn't want anything else.
Before leaving, Xiao Mo went to look at the two children again.
The sun had not yet risen and the two children were still sleeping soundly. He gently kissed Pingping and Anan's little faces, picked up his bag and went out.
Ye Jintang accompanied him all the way to the gate of the palace.
At this time, a team of cavalry was already waiting at the gate of the palace.
Each of them held a bag similar to the one in Xiao Mo's hand, and the horses they rode were all the steeds carefully trained by Ye Jintang.
"Jintang, I'm leaving."
"it is good."
Ye Jintang stood on the steps and watched Xiao Mo climb onto his horse. With the sound of hurried horse hooves, his figure gradually disappeared on the gray street.
In the original novel, King Zheng led his troops to break through the palace gate with almost no effort and captured Xiao Yi alive. The next day, he ascended the throne as emperor wearing a proper dragon robe.
According to the time calculation, after King Zheng ascended the throne, Xiao Mo's army would almost arrive in the capital. Three months was enough for him to drive King Zheng off the throne.
Ye Jintang thought that her appearance actually did not change much of the original novel. Ye Yanran still served as queen twice, but in the original novel, Ye Yanran had a very perfect ending.
It’s a pity that her appearance made this perfect ending extremely short-lived.
Xiao Mo left with only a team of light cavalry, and all the affairs of Ningchuan Prefecture fell on Ye Jintang alone.
If another woman wanted to take over the government affairs of Ningchuan Prefecture all at once, I'm afraid few people would obey her orders.
But Ye Yanran is not an ordinary woman.
Just the two things of wheat and epidemic made her status higher than Xiao Mo in the eyes of the common people.
This year, in addition to continuing to promote the planting of wheat and cotton, Ye Jintang also took in some other crops such as corn.
She wanted to see what crops were best suited to growing in this land of Ningchuan Prefecture.
The wheat yield was still too low for her.
Ningchuan Prefecture has such a large area. If it can be fully utilized, the income produced here will definitely not be low in the future.
As spring turned to summer, Ningchuan City became hotter and hotter. One day, Ye Jintang came back from checking the farmland outside the city and asked Lu Zhu very naturally.
"Has the prince sent a letter by carrier pigeon today?"
"There is no letter from the prince, but there is a letter from Wuwei."
"Oh."
Ye Jintang took off the gauze hat on her head as she walked into the house.
She felt a little strange. Xiao Mo would usually send back a letter every three days, so why didn't he send any today?
Taking the bamboo tube handed over by Luzhu, Ye Jintang quickly opened it and read the contents at a glance.
"Prince Zheng is quite fast. He has already reached the capital city so quickly."
Ye Jintang calculated the time quickly, and didn't know where Xiao Mo was now.
"My queen, the war has started in the capital. Will it affect the common people?"
Luzhu looked at Ye Jintang with a little worry.
She heard from the elders that when Emperor Jing was the emperor, the entire capital was a river of blood and it was very terrible.
"Prince Zheng is not a fool. He certainly wants to gain the support of the people. Even if he leads his troops to attack the capital, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Well, I hope so."
The fight for the throne always requires blood to pave the way. Although Lu Zhu was just a slave, she also hoped that fewer people would die.
Ye Jintang didn't care about King Zheng, the only person she was thinking about was Xiao Mo.
At the same time, Xiao Mo led the cavalry and traveled day and night to reach the capital.
"Your Majesty, General Zhou has returned to the capital with a small number of Black Armored Soldiers in secret."
"Well, let's hold off for now and see what's happening in the capital."
"Yes."
Xiao Mo and his men disguised themselves as merchants, hid in the caravan, entered the capital, and chose an inconspicuous inn to stay in.
The house he lived in faced the street, with the windows open, and patrol soldiers would come to patrol from time to time.
Judging from the intensity of the patrols, Xiao Yi has entered combat mode and is ready to go to war with King Zheng at any time.
