Chapter 465 Are they siblings?
Here, Beixiu Yan also received the news that the Bei Liao army was approaching the city. He wrote a few lines on the paper and asked the people below to send the things to Shen Mu.
The Northern Liao army had set fire to splendens, and a large amount of yellow poisonous smoke drifted over in the wind.
The soldiers put on their veils and hid in the secret passages of the tower.
Everything is progressing according to plan.
Beixiu Yan walked into the courtyard and looked at the yellowing sky in the distance, feeling uneasy.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and his vision began to blur.
Shen Ruzhou noticed something was wrong at the Beixiu Banquet and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Bei Xiuyan held her arm down with one hand, barely able to steady his body from falling, and said calmly, "Don't make any noise, go back to the study first."
Shen Ruzhou understood the importance of military stability. The next moment, he had already pretended to be nonchalant and turned around and entered the house with Bei Xiuyan.
As soon as the two of them entered, Shen Ruzhou turned around and closed the door. Beixiu Yan could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
Xiao Ruohan, who was making tea, heard the noise and ran over.
Seeing Bei Xiuyan's forehead covered in cold sweat and his face pale, he couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
Shen Ruzhou knelt down and felt Bei Xiuyan's pulse, his face darkened, "The prince's old illness has returned."
"Use the strongest medicine, be sure to..." Bei Xiuyan tried his best but still couldn't finish his words, so his eyes darkened and he fainted.
"My lord, my lord."
Shen Ruzhou called out several times anxiously, but Beixiu Yan showed no response at all.
Why did the disease happen at this critical moment?
Shen Ruzhou didn't have time to find out the reason in detail, so he called Xiao Ruohan to help Beixiu Yan to the couch.
After half an hour of administering acupuncture and medicine, Beixiu Yan was still unconscious.
"Why are you still not awake? Do you want more medicine?" Xiao Ruohan's eyes were full of tears and his voice was choked.
Shen Ruzhou said helplessly: "I have already used twice the amount of medicine. Adding more will damage the prince's body."
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Ruohan was so anxious that he recalled the last time he got sick at the Beixiu Banquet, and said with worry, "Why did he suddenly get sick when he was so good? Last time he was in coma for two days, and this time I don’t know how long it will take.”
As soon as Xiao Ruohan finished speaking, a horn sound came from outside.
Then came the thundering sound of iron hooves.
The tea cup in the room also made a small friction sound due to the vibration, and the tea inside rippled.
Beiliao began to attack the city.
Although Beixiu Yan had already arranged a plan to fight the enemy, the war was changing rapidly and he still had to deal with it in time.
Shen Ruzhou stared at the unconscious Bei Xiuyan, silently praying that he would wake up soon.
Mu Zheng led the Northern Liao cavalry and quickly rushed into the inner city. Shen Mu and his soldiers rushed out from the secret passage in the city wall and surrounded Mu Zheng.
"Oops, I've fallen into a trap." Mu Zheng cursed secretly, turned around and shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly."
When the fighting started, the inner city suddenly turned into purgatory.
Shen Ruzhou was in the study room, listening to the noise outside, and felt his heart tremble.
After all, this was the first time Xiao Ruohan had seen such a scene of two armies fighting. Even though he was calm on weekdays, he was a little panicked at this time. He could only call Bei Xiuyan from the bedside, "Wake up quickly. Brother, wake up quickly."
"You called him brother?" Shen Ruzhou turned around in surprise.
Xiao Ruohan was completely panicked and nodded blankly.
Are they siblings?
It turns out that Beixiu Yan treats Xiao Ruohan differently from others, just out of brother-sister affection, not between man and woman.
Needless to say, the two of them have exactly the same temperament!
Shen Ruzhou solved the doubts he had been having and looked at Bei Xiuyan with much softer eyes.
Outside, Mu Zheng and his men broke through the encirclement and escaped through the west door.
Upon seeing this, Lieutenant General Liu led his troops to pursue him, but was stopped by Shen Mu, "The regent has said that you cannot leave the city."
Vice General Liu glanced at the fleeing Bei Liao army and said unwillingly: "General, now Bei Liao has been defeated. If we chase them out at this time, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Shen Mu hesitated for a moment, then called the messenger and said, "Go and ask the regent if he wants to go out of the city to annihilate the enemy."
The sound of fighting outside gradually stopped, and Xiao Ruohan asked cautiously: "Did they repel the Northern Liao army?"
Shen Ruzhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll go take a look."
She stood up and opened the door and went out, just in time to see the messenger coming. She quickly closed the door.
Beixiu Yan's coma must not be leaked, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army and be detrimental to the war.
Shen Ruzhou forced himself to calm down and braced himself to deal with the messenger.
Soon, the messenger came to the door, "Your Majesty, is there an urgent report?"
"What's going on?" Shen Ruzhou shouted outside.
"General Shen asked for permission to go out of the city to annihilate the enemy." The ordering soldier knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
"The prince said, hold on to the city and don't go out to fight!" Shen Ruzhou said in a decent manner what Beixiuyan said when he deployed earlier.
Not seeing the regent, nor hearing the order from the regent himself, the messenger did not dare to believe it, and immediately said: "Please give the order personally from the regent."
At this time, the door opened from the inside, and Shen Ruzhou stood tall and straight in front of the door, asking with a cold expression: "What, you don't believe what I said?"
"Miss, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that there are regulations in the army that the regent must personally give the order to fight the enemy." The messenger replied respectfully.
After saying that, he looked past Shen Ruzhou and into the study.
Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the messenger, Shen Ruzhou suddenly reached out and stabbed him with a silver needle, knocking him out.
Shen Ruzhou looked around warily and found that no one was paying attention. He quickly dragged the messenger into the room and closed the door.
Xiao Ruohan stepped forward, frowning and said, "It won't help even if he is stunned. General Shen will send someone to ask questions later."
Shen Ruzhou thought for a moment and then said, "You take good care of him, and I'll go talk to my father."
Shen Ruzhou went directly to the tower and walked towards Shen Mu.
"Ruzhou? What are you doing here at this time? It's too dangerous, go back quickly!" Shen Mu couldn't figure out why his daughter would come to him at this time.
"Dad, we must insist on defending the city and cannot go out to fight!" Shen Ruzhou took Shen Mu to a corner room of the city tower and directly stated the purpose of his trip.
"Nonsense!" When Shen Mu heard this, he thought it was his daughter who was just fooling around, so he scolded her sternly.
"A battle between two armies is not a child's play. It's up to you to do whatever you want."
"The regent suddenly suffered from an old illness. He was unconscious and unable to give orders at this time, so my daughter had to take this step." Seeing that his father did not want to believe his words, Shen Ruzhou had no choice but to tell the truth, but the anger in Shen Mu's eyes did not Therefore it goes out.
"Dad, although this is not an order from the Regent, during the previous battle deployment, the Regent has repeatedly emphasized that defending the city is the safest way for us to fight the Northern Liao Army."
Shen Ruzhou continued to explain the reason. Mu Zheng was inherently cunning and cunning, and it was impossible for him to rush into the city without a backup plan.
"Mu Zheng is not a vegetarian at all. He must have thought that the attack on the city would not work, so he pretended to fail and lured us out of the city to fight."
Shen Ruzhou's words awakened Shen Mu, and the expression on his face became much softer.
He carefully recalled the details of the battle just now. Mu Zheng indeed responded very quickly, and even formed a neat formation when retreating.
Thinking of this, Shen Mu turned around and walked out of the corner room, and immediately ordered: "Everyone stick to the city. Anyone who leaves the city without permission to pursue the enemy will be dealt with according to military law!"
