After a while, Xiaoman brought some hot water and towels to Nan Yan. He just woke up after listening to Fu. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and immediately ran over to take these things and served Nan Yan to wash.

Nan Yan washed her face, and suddenly remembered the girl named Dragonfly.

"Where is the dragonfly?"

Listening to Fu was also stunned for a while, turned his head and looked around, muttered: "Yes, where is she?"

Since entering the palace last night, Dragonfly has been silently following them. He also knew that this little girl must have been scared, but they had so many things on their own, so naturally they couldn’t bother to comfort her. Surrounded by dangers, he had to concentrate on guarding Nan Yan, leaving this little girl behind.

Only then did she discover that she had disappeared.

Nan Yan frowned and said, "Why didn't you see it? She came in with this palace, go look for it!"

At this time, Xu Shizong walked out of the next room. It seemed that he had just drunk the medicine. He looked a little bit more energetic and no longer looked half-dead like last night. He heard a panic on Nan Yan's side, and said faintly: "The concubine empress is asking the little girl who followed you into the palace last night?"

"Ok."

"Then don't worry."

"Ok?"

Nan Yan turned his head to look at him, only to see Xu Shizong said: "This entire palace is heavily guarded, and she is a little girl who can't get out."

"..."

"I just don't know, where to go."

Nan Yan frowned.

At this moment, Dragonfly came over from the front as expected, her face was a little pale, and her feet staggered a bit when she walked, but when they saw Nan Yan standing at the door, they immediately ran over: "Sister - oh, concubine empress. "

Nan Yan frowned: "Where have you been?"

Dragonfly's face became paler, and he only said, "I, I will go out and take a look in front."

"Front?"

Nan Yan looked up and looked forward. This is the row house behind Wuying Hall. Go ahead, isn't it the Wuying Hall?

What did she go there for?

Nan Yan stepped forward and looked at her: "You—"

Before he finished speaking, another soldier ran from the front, bowed to Xu Shizong and saluted him, and said, "Military officer, the son will tell you to speak."

Xu Shizong looked at the soldier with a wrong look, and asked, "What happened?"

The soldier's head shuddered and said with a trembling voice: "The news that I just received, General Xu, General Xu, leading a brigade of troops to cross the river, is about to arrive at Jinling City."

"..."

Xu Shizong raised his eyebrows slightly.

Nan Yan's heart jumped when she heard it.

Before, she and Zhu Feng left Cicang County and rushed to Xiajiang Town. They did not let Xu Shifeng follow, because they were afraid that his identity would be exposed and they would be burdened. Xu Shizong and the group of people who led him to quell the civil unrest still stayed there. Cui Cang County, that is also the only team they can count on without scheduling.

Xu Shizong thought for a while and asked, "What is the banner of the fight?"

The soldier whispered, "Counter the rebellion."

Hearing these two words, Xu Shizong sighed, with a helpless smile on his face, and the heart that Nan Yan raised slightly, finally calmed down at this moment.

In fact, she didn't really want to doubt Xu Shifeng. After all, for so many years, even if two people didn't communicate much, Nan Yan somewhat believed that Xu Shifeng was not that kind of person. It's just that, after all, the situation is special now, especially Zhu Feng-under the premise that life and death are uncertain, people with soldiers and horses have become the people with the most bargaining chips.

It is difficult to tell what choices they will make at this time.

After all, human nature has weaknesses.

However, Xu Shifeng didn't seem to be knocked down by those temptations, he came to put down the rebellion!

Thinking of this, Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Shizong seemed to hear her sigh of relief. He glanced back at her, but didn't say anything. He looked at the sweaty soldier with his head, and he understood how much. , These people are very afraid of Xu Shifeng.

After all, Xu Shifeng's current general has followed Zhu Feng since his debut, guarding Beiping City for so many years, everyone knows that he can fight.

Jinling City could be attacked before because Jinling City was completely defenseless, and they criticized and criticized the viciousness to win this victory. But now, Xu Shifeng is well prepared. Compared with the regular army, they are here. Apart from the people Xu Shizong helped Zhu Chengjin tune in secretly these years, most of them were the water bandits from Tiangang Lianhuanwu.

It is difficult to say whether he can fight Xu Shifeng.

Xu Shizong covered his mouth and coughed twice. He looked at the soldier in front of him and the guards standing around him. Their faces were filled with uncertainty and panic. He smiled and said, "Why, are all scared? "

The soldier shook his head hurriedly.

But his twinkling eyes have explained everything.

Xu Shizong smiled and said, "Don't be afraid."

"..."

"My brother indeed followed King Yan to defend Beiping City and made great achievements. You naturally think that he is invincible, but after so many years, have you seen him fought a tough battle?"

When everyone heard it, their eyes widened.

Nan Yan's heart sank suddenly, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

But she didn't show any uncertain expression on her face, only staring at Xu Shizong. The latter said lightly: "My brother, I know very well. He has been in Beiping City for so many years, and he has fought for the city defense. Therefore, if he is coming to attack Jinling City, you don't have to be afraid."

Although they were just two understatements, everyone's confidence immediately rose.

The soldier even showed a smile on his face, and said to Xu Shizong: "We are not afraid if there are military officers."

Xu Shizong covered his mouth, coughed twice, and then said, "Lead the way."

The soldier nodded immediately, and Xu Shizong looked back at Nan Yan with a solemn look, and said calmly: "There is no summons over there, the concubine and empress will rest here first. I will let them clean out Yikun Palace in the harem. , For the empress to live."

After speaking, he turned and left.

When he left, Nan Yan's breathing immediately became heavy.

Xu Shizong’s words are correct. For so many years, Xu Shifeng has always been good at defending the city, fighting against the soldiers of the country. Everything a person is used to will make him good at this aspect, but also, other places. It may become a short board.

Besides, it was Xu Shizong that he was against.

Not only his elder brother, Xu Shizong's ability, until now, has not bottomed out.

Nan Yan's mood was heavy as if he was crushing a big rock.

At this time, the dragonfly next to him asked in a low voice: "Emperor Consort, what are you talking about? Me, can I still have a chance?"
