Chapter 338 Poisoning

At the end of February, there was still a bit of chill, but spring has arrived, and the thick clothes on the body are slowly starting to change.

Xu Wu entered the inner courtyard with an ugly expression, and said to Yuxi: "Ma'am, I just got the news that the Beicap army is only three hundred miles away from Yucheng. In less than three days, the Beicap army has arrived at the city of Yucheng."

Yu Xi asked: "What's the matter? The information I got before was wrong?" The day before yesterday, Yu Xi also heard Xu Wu say that an army of 250,000 captives from the north was going to attack Yucheng.

Xu Wu said with a serious face: "The person we put in the Beiyao side must have rebelled." The person rebelled and deliberately passed false news to them.

Yu Xi did some calculations, and said: "The recruits recruited will arrive in Yucheng in two days, even if they have an army of 250,000, don't worry too much."

Xu Wu said: "Madam, pack up and leave Yucheng to Lanzhou City tonight." In this way, if there is any accident, Madam and the child will be fine.

Yuxi felt that something was wrong, and said: "What's going on? Although the enemy has an army of 250,000, but our side adds 50,000 new recruits, plus the original 40,000 horses, how can we resist it?" Half a month. I believe that in half a month, the general should be able to come back."

Xu Wu smiled wryly and said: "This time the Marshal of the Northern Captive Army is Battelle. This time Battelle came prepared, and there is bound to be a fierce battle in Yucheng. My foster father and I both think that it is better for Madam to rush to Lanzhou City as soon as possible."

Yuxi naturally knew who Battelle was, he was the third prince of the Northern Captivity, he was brave and good at fighting, murderous like hemp, and his reputation was comparable to that of Yunqing: "I told you a long time ago, if I took the child and left, I would definitely It will shake the morale of the army. And, no matter how good Barter is at fighting? We have 90,000 people, and we can definitely hold out for half a month."

In front of Yuxi, Xu Wu was not afraid to tell the truth: "This time all recruits are recruits. I'm worried that we won't be able to hold back for half a month."

Yuxi said coldly: "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, and you can't let Yucheng become the second Tongcheng." Seeing that Xu Wu still wanted to talk, Yuxi waved her hand and said: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I won't leave Yucheng I also believe that the general will be able to come back in time to help."

Xu Wu had already guessed the result: "Alright then, I'll go and tell my adoptive father."

Yuxi stopped Xu Wu and said, "I'll write a letter to Xu Chong, and you have someone bring the letter to him." Xu Chong is the prefect of Xinping City, and they belong to them.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay."

After receiving the letter, Xu Wu said: "Madam, whether to let the eldest girl and the second girl leave Xinping City, it is not safe here."

Yu Xi thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "No need." Now that the army is in chaos, and Yucheng also hides a lot of hidden secrets, it is even more unsafe to send the child away from Yucheng.

Xu Wu took the letter and left the inner courtyard.

Standing in front of the desk, Yuxi let out a long breath. What Yunqing was worried about finally happened, and now they are really facing the enemy, and only when they overcome this difficulty can they be considered truly successful.

After walking out of the study, Yuxi went to the ear room to visit Zaozao and Liuer. That girl Zao Zao couldn't bear the silence, when Yu Xi came in, she was playing with the rattle in her hand, making a noise. And Liu'er, snuggled up in Mother Lan's arms, remained motionless, but her eyes fell on Yu Xi's body.

Mother Lan hugged Liu'er and said with a smile: "Every time Madam comes over, the eldest girl and the second girl are very happy."

Yuxi stayed with the two children in the ear room for a while, then put down the jujube sticking to her body, and said, "Mother is busy, so you stay at home and listen to Lan's mother, you know?" The ear room is too crowded for the two children, But Zao Zao didn't want to move out since she lived with Liu'er. Yuxi thought that it was a good thing that the two sisters were willing to get close, so she followed her way.

Back in the bedroom, Yuxi said to Licorice: "Go to the kitchen and ask Mammy to come to the bedroom." Mammy Quan is cooking medicinal food for Yuxi in the kitchen.

Walking into the bedroom, seeing Yu Xi's complexion was not very good, Quan Nanny suddenly felt bad: "Is something wrong?" But it must not be Yun Qing.

Yuxi talked about the fact that the Beiyao army was going to attack the city: "Mama, the leading general of the Beiyao army this time is Battelle, the third prince of the Beiyao royal court. This person is extremely bloodthirsty." He also likes to eat human flesh, which is very abnormal. Many people are frightened when they hear him. As for why this person was allowed to lead the army this time, Yu Xi did not know.

Sister Quan looked at Yuxi's appearance and said, "Aren't you going to leave, do you want me to take Zaozao and Liu'er away? But Liu'er is too weak, and she can't bear to leave in a hurry."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Zaozao and Liu'er will stay in Yucheng and wait for the general with me. Mommy, I'll send you to Lanzhou City. You can wait for me in Lanzhou City!" He fled Yucheng with his children, and then other generals also left their families from Yucheng. In fact, the soldiers below have lost confidence. It was also fortunate that Yunqing burned their food and grass at that time, otherwise how could they have persisted until the end.

Sister Quan smiled and said, "I'm already this old, and I still have a few more years to live. You're not afraid, I have nothing to be afraid of. You can do whatever you want, Zaozao, Liu'er and I I will take care of it for you." She came to Yucheng this time because she had some selfish motives. Now there are rebellions everywhere, and there will definitely be wars everywhere in the future. No matter where they are, their family will not have a stable life. It just so happened that Yunqing also rebelled, and the prospects were good. She thought that if Yunqing succeeds, she will become the owner of the Northwest in the future, and if she comes to join Yuxi, the family will not have to live in fear in the future, and besides, she can find a future for her two nephews and grandchildren.

Yuxi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave Zazao and Liu'er to the nanny. I'll keep the red beans and Hongqi, and they can protect you and the children if anything happens."

Quan Momo felt that it was inappropriate, and said, "You should take these two maids with you! The child and I should be fine in the inner courtyard."

Yuxi smiled and said, "There is someone protecting me, so don't worry about it."

When they arrived at the front yard, Yu Xi took Master Yang and Xu Wu to go under the city wall. Within a hundred meters of the city wall, many sheds were built, row by row. Some of these sheds are for cooking, some are for the wounded, and some are places for soldiers to rest. If it rains, these sheds can save a lot of trouble.

At this time, no one was idle in the shack. Some carry firewood, and some carry shochu and medicinal gauze. Everyone bowed their heads and worked, and no one was talking and chatting there.

Yuxi said: "Do these people know that the Beiyao people are coming?" I always feel that the atmosphere is a little solemn, which makes Yuxi have to suspect that they already know that the Beiyao army is coming

Xu Wu nodded and said, "It's not a secret."

While talking, the master hurried over and said: "Boss, boss is not well. General Fu suddenly passed out, and I don't know what happened?"

Xu Wu's face turned pale, and the main general appeared before the battle started. Originally, he was not sure about this battle, and now he was even more uncertain.

Yuxi didn't ask Fu Tianlei what was going on, but said: "Xu Wu, immediately go to the Zhao Mansion and ask General Zhao to be the general of Yucheng." In terms of qualifications, there is no one more suitable than General Zhao.

Xu Wu hesitated.

Yuxi said: "Before the general left, I told me that if there is any accident, I will go to General Zhao." General Zhao has guarded Yucheng for more than 20 years, and he will not watch Yucheng be attacked by the North Captives.

Xu Wu then nodded and said: "Madam, I will send you back first before going to the Zhao Mansion!" Madam's safety is the top priority.

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "You don't need to send it, there will be nothing wrong with them." Yu Xi came here this time to see if there is any mistake. If found, it can be resolved as soon as possible.

Seeing Xu Wu's hesitation, Master Yang said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will get close to Madam." This time when Yu Xi went out, Master Yang followed closely. Of course, in addition to this, there are many guards.

Half an hour later, Yuxi returned to Yunfu, called Xu Daniu, and asked, "What's the matter with General Fu?" She suddenly fell into a coma, and it was 100% plotted against her.

Xu Daniu said: "General Fu has been poisoned, the food has been poisoned." Seeing Yuxi's puzzled face, Xu Daniu said: "It was the cook who poisoned, and that cook is the secret agent of Beiyao. That cook, In the Fu family for more than 20 years."

Yu Xi was terrified, and Fu Tianlei really couldn't be blamed for this. Who would have expected that a poor cook in the Fu family for more than 20 years would turn out to be the secret work of Bei Yao: "How is General Fu doing now?"

Xu Daniu shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation." The only thing that is certain is that Fu Tianlei can no longer lead troops. At this juncture, the main general fell, which really shook the morale of the army.

Yuxi said: "Don't worry, I have already asked Xu Wu to invite General Zhao. With General Zhao here, there shouldn't be any trouble. However, this meticulous work is too rampant." Several batches have been arrested, but These people are like bamboo shoots after the rain, popping up one after another, and they can't be killed cleanly.

Xu Daniu said: "The old man has already gone to Fu's house, I believe there will be something to gain. Madam, in the current situation in Yucheng, you should take the eldest girl and the second girl away!" Xu Daniu felt that the battle this time must be more serious than two years ago is even more tragic.

Yu Xi shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I believe the general will be back in time." Neither Xu Wu nor Xu Daniu had any confidence, which made Yu Xi feel a little uneasy. However, she never thought of leaving Yucheng.

Xu Daniu didn't persuade him anymore.

Half an hour later, Xu Wu came back: "Ma'am, the matter has been settled." He originally thought that he would have to spend more time talking, after all, it was their general who dismissed General Zhao, but he didn't expect General Zhao to know his position. After coming, he agreed without any hesitation.

Yu Xi nodded slightly, and said: "That's good. But you must protect General Zhao, and don't let the meticulous work take advantage of the loopholes." These detailed works are really pervasive.

Thinking of this, Yu Xi hurriedly said: "Don't let the secret agents who infiltrated the military camp spread rumors and cause trouble, and shake the morale of the army." Elaborate.

Xu Wu nodded and said: "Madam, don't worry, we will never let such a thing happen." R8
