    A few hours ago, the moment Song Nan stepped into the palace gate alone, the fifty guards sent to protect the Duke's Mansion on Caishi Street arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Li Daniu was originally  He wanted to personally lead the team back to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to explain the whole story, but he was eager to see Zhang Lun to move reinforcements, so he ordered flag officer Zhang Rui to take his brothers there, while he went straight to Britain, north of the Temple of Heaven and Earth.  The government has gone.  ¡Ë Zhang Rui is no stranger to the Zhenguo Palace. When Wang Yong was Song Nan's personal guard Qianhu, Zhang Rui was often stationed in the Song Palace as an ordinary guard, so he rushed to the Song Palace with ease.  ; The situation is not too bad. Perhaps it is because there was insufficient preparation for Song Nan's return to Beijing, and the foreign troops did not have time to take measures against the Song Mansion; or perhaps because Yang Ting and the others did not bother to take action against the women, children, and family members. In short, the Song Mansion was safe and sound.  , peaceful and quiet.  Zhang Rui¡¯s arrival surprised everyone in the Song family, because they were all Song Nan¡¯s personal guards, and they were originally following Song Nan on the expedition. Their return meant that Song Nan was also back.  But strangely, Song Nan was not among them, which made them very confused and anxious.  The little princess Ye Qinggu and others asked Zhang Rui to go into the hall to report. Zhang Rui told everything about Song Nan breaking into Yongding Gate and entering the palace for an audience. The girls all opened their mouths and were stunned; the situation in Beijing these days  Although everyone was in the palace, they also got some news. Although Zhang Lun did not say it explicitly, he sent dozens of royal guards to the Song Palace to strengthen the protection, which also indicated that something big was happening in the capital.  Now, my husband returned to the capital after revolting. Instead of leading his army back in triumph, he was stopped outside the city and had to break into the capital. This matter was strange no matter how you thought about it.  However, although Zhang Rui is a personal bodyguard, his knowledge is very limited. As Song Nan's personal bodyguard, the first criterion is that he is not allowed to inquire and only needs to execute orders. Zhang Rui has long been accustomed to obeying orders.  , and wouldn¡¯t even ask what happened.  After the little princess asked Zhang Rui a few questions and found that nothing could be said, she took the girls back to the back house to discuss the matter, and everyone was speculating about what happened.  Although the little princess came from a noble family, she had no idea about these things. She just stamped her feet anxiously and said: "This is strange. Tell me what is going on." The girls were silent and locked hands.  Brows thinking about the weirdness of this matter, no one could guess the whole story, the little princess stamped her feet and said: "Everyone is so clever on weekdays, but they have no clue at the critical moment. It's really useless." Faced with the eldest lady's accusation, everyone  He didn't take it seriously. His heart was focused on Song Nan's return to Beijing. Who cares about it?  "Sister, don't worry." Someone spoke quietly, but it was Zhu Fengtong who had just come to the house as a guest yesterday.  After the news of the victory in the counter-rebellion spread in the capital, it also meant that Song Nan was about to return to the capital, so the attentive Dai Su'er specially invited Zhu Fengtong and Yang Keer to stay for a while, hoping that she would be among the team of wives and concubines welcoming Song Nan.  Because Song Nan had actually named Zhu Fengtong and Yang Kou'er as members of the Song family at the family dinner before leaving, so Dai Su'er did this to build a good relationship in advance.  After all, she is a concubine, so it would be better to have a boudoir alliance in the future so that her status in the family can continue to be consolidated.  "Sister Zhu, how can I not be anxious? Don't you think this is a bit strange? How can a dignified duke of the country be turned away after triumphing in an expedition?" cried the little princess.  Zhu Fengtong frowned and bit her lower lip for a long time, and finally said: "Let me see, this is probably not a good thing." "Ah? Are you saying something is going to happen to your husband?" "Sister Zhu, don't scare us."  They knew Zhu Fengtong's identity. The royal princess was well-informed and experienced a lot, so her words had weight.  Zhu Fengtong said quietly: "The Nu family doesn't dare to scare you randomly, but this matter is really strange. Songnan returns to Beijing in triumph, and it is normal for the cabinet to send people out of the city to greet him, but saying that he will not be allowed to enter the city is unjustifiable.  "Zhu Fengtong originally wanted to call Song Lang, but suddenly realized that she had not really married into the Song family, so she hurriedly changed her name.  "Just now, the guard flag officer said that Song Nan was blocked again outside Zhengyang Gate, and finally had to leave the guard camp and Mr. Wang to enter the inner city. This is even more unusual. What happened in the city these days  There are many rumors of accidents, but in the past, when major events happened in the city, the gates of the inner and outer cities were never closed. Even people with the status of the Duke of Zhen were not allowed to bring troops into the inner city. This is obviously unreasonable." Zhu Fengtong frowned.  Eyebrow said.  "Yes, my husband is still the commander of the Jin Yiwei. In the eighteen squares of the inner and outer city, is there any place that the Jin Yiwei cannot reach? Even if something happens, the Jin Yiwei can move forward unimpeded." Dai Su'er nodded.  "He is in a hurry to enter the palace, and is even willing to go alone, either because his safety will not be threatened, or because he has no choice but to do it. I think the latter is more likely, because he called fifty royal guards  Wei came to the house to protect us, that is to say?He was very worried about the safety of everyone in the Song family. This was to prevent anyone from doing harm to the Song family.  " The girls nodded, and that's all. Song Nan sent people back to protect his family, obviously because he was afraid that someone would harm the family. What kind of situation would make Song Nan so worried? Considering these things that happened, it is obvious that  Unusual. Ye Fanggu said slowly: "According to this, something big happened in the court, and my husband was rejected from the city and had to force his way in, but was finally allowed to enter the palace alone. In addition, my husband sent someone back to the house for protection.  , indicating that the whole thing is related to the husband; it makes sense for Miss Fengtong to say that the husband will be in trouble.  " Zhu Fengtong nodded slowly. The girls looked at each other, and each saw worry and panic in the other's eyes. If there is one thing in this world that can make Song Nan worry about the safety of his family, then this thing is obviously beyond everyone's expectations.  Imagine. ¡°Who dares to do harm to your husband?  I will go to my brother and ask him to lead troops to the inner city to see what happened. If anyone touches Song Nan's hair, I will ask him to kill his whole family.  "The little princess suddenly jumped up, raised her feet and walked out. "Ye Fanggu hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't do anything nonsense. It's just speculation now. Everything has not yet been determined. Isn't it self-defeating if you make such a fuss?"  "The little princess said: "What should we do?  Shall we just wait here?  If someone is unfavorable to our husband, by the time we find out, it will be too late and we have to do something.  " Zhu Fengtong said softly: "What Sister Fang and Princess Princess said are reasonable. My husband hasn't sent a message back, so we can't move around, otherwise I'm afraid it will bring trouble to my husband; but we can't just wait, we have to send someone.  Inquiring about information, let's do this. I'll go outside Zhengyang Gate to see if I can enter the inner city. Even if I can't, I can still find out some information.  This is the news you are waiting for here.  " Everyone has ignored Zhu Fengtong's address to Song Nan and said one after another: "I'll go too, I'll go too.  " Zhu Fengtong waved his hand and said: "You can't go, your identity will be discovered. I am not from the Song Dynasty. I have been doing business in the capital in the past few years and I have met several well-known businessmen in the capital. Not to mention the British public, Sister Kerr.  Maybe we can get some clues from these people¡¯s mouths about things that their fathers didn¡¯t say. They all waited obediently and didn¡¯t act rashly. Song Nan often said that we should be calm, bold and careful when encountering problems. At this moment, we need to stay calm as usual.  , don't do anything unusual.  " The girls thought it was very reasonable. Although the little princess had a bad temper, she no longer insisted after hearing what Zhu Fengtong said was reasonable. Zhu Fengtong took his maid Qingluan out of the corner gate of Song Mansion and went shopping like an ordinary master and servant.  , walked all the way to Zhengyang Gate. The girls of the Song family waited anxiously in the mansion. Hour after hour passed, this half day was the most difficult half day in their lives. The back house fell into dead silence, and even lunch was not available.  They were not in the mood to eat, so they just comforted each other and said that no news is the best news. In the afternoon, there was a faint rumbling sound in the silence. The girls listened carefully, and Lu Qingli and Yang Kouer recognized that it was a cannon.  With a loud voice, everyone suddenly became nervous. Without saying a word, the little princess reached out to wave Ruhua Ruyue and the two of them rushed out. The girls also realized that if a gunfire started in the city, it would be a big deal, so they all followed them out of the back house and walked to the front hall.  , when they entered the second house, they saw Zhu Fengtong's master and servant hurriedly approaching. Everyone hurriedly came forward to greet her and asked questions. Zhu Fengtong's face turned pale and her body was shaky. Dai Su'er hurriedly pulled her into the back house to drink some water before talking.  Zhu Fengtong drank a few sips of hot water and took a breath for a while before telling everything he saw and the information he had found out. After Zhu Fengtong left the Song Mansion, he first went outside the Zhengyang Gate. At that time, the Jinyi Guards were gathering, and Zhu Fengtong realized.  She felt that something was wrong, but she wanted to find out the whole story, so she went around to inquire about the situation, and finally pieced together some of the details. Zhu Fengtong, who was in the royal family, naturally understood what the change of the throne would bring, and she also understood.  He understood why Song Nan broke into the capital and went to the palace to see the emperor even if he was alone. It must be for the purpose of selecting the new emperor. Zhu Fengtong knew the key points that ordinary people did not know.  Whoever elects the new emperor to ascend the throne will naturally take the throne in the future. Song Nan is so anxious to return to the capital in a hurry and forcefully break into the city. It must be that the candidate for the throne has an outcome he does not want to see. That means that he has struggled  Everything was about to come to naught, and it was impossible for him not to be anxious. When Zhu Fengtong returned to Zhengyang Gate again, she saw the scene she least wanted to see. A large number of soldiers and horses gathered at Zhengyang Gate, and the little princess¡¯s brother.  The British Duke was also there, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, the regiment camp, and the Jinyiwei were all gathered here. The muzzles of the cannons below the city were facing the city, and the crossbows and muzzles of the cannons on the city were facing the city. Zhu Fengtong seemed to be hiding in the distance as if the battle was about to break out.  Watching all this, she secretly prayed that Song Nan would be fine in the palace. If nothing happened in the palace, the tense war outside would not be fought. On the contrary, once a fight broke out outside, Song Nan would be in the palace.  Something happened.; When the roar of firecrackers rang out in the palace, it could be heard clearly outside Zhengyang Gate, and Zhu Fengtong's heart suddenly rose to her throat; it was obvious that something had changed in the palace, and the battle outside was about to begin, and the only way she could  What I did was pray for Song Nan, hoping that he would be safe and sound.  Zhu Fengtong hoped that Zhang Lun's soldiers and horses could quickly capture Zhengyang Gate, and then go into the palace to rescue Song Nan and end all this; however, she found that the battle was evenly matched and Zhang Lun's soldiers and horses could not break through at all.  The city wall means that Song Nan will be isolated and helpless in the inner city palace.  Under Qingluan's reminder, Zhu Fengtong had to go back to Song Mansion to deliver a letter. She wanted to bring good news to everyone, so she kept paying attention to the battle situation in dangerous places, but in the end she had to tell the disappointing news.  Everyone.  There was a half-dead silence in the room, and emotions of fear, worry and even despair filled the air. Although Zhu Fengtong spoke in a calm tone, everyone felt a great crisis from her words.  Before Song Nan went on the expedition, there were only a few words at home about the fight for the emperor's heir. Although Song Nan adhered to the habit of not discussing official matters at home, the important matters in his heart were often revealed inadvertently, and among the closest people  In the meantime, nothing can be hidden.  Whenever they see Song Nan's brows furrowed, all the girls can do is silently comfort her and soothe Song Nan with the utmost gentleness. In fact, they can't help. They all think in their hearts that no matter what big thing happens,  Song Nan will always solve things satisfactorily.  Just like all previous crises, Song Nan will definitely find a solution to this battle for the emperor's heir.  But now, they suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. While Song Nan was away on the war, other people in the court were already tampering with her behind the scenes. The reason why their husbands returned to Beijing in a hurry seemed to be a bit reckless and risky.  The recklessness showed that Song Nan was not well prepared for this matter.  In the silence, Lu Qingli said in a low voice: "Sister Zhu, you mean that the eldest brother is trapped in the inner city? The soldiers and horses of the British Duke and the Jin Yiwei outside are blocked outside Zhengyang Gate and cannot enter? Then  If the Zhengyang Gate cannot be breached, wouldn't the elder brother be in danger?" Zhu Fengtong nodded lightly and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid this is the truth. I don't know what happened in the palace, but Ding and Song Nan entered the palace at this time.  Related. The troops and horses of the outer court cabinet and the Fifth Army Governor's Office are obviously ready. In this case, the situation in the inner city palace must be extremely dangerous, because there are no available troops and horses under Song Nan in the inner city.  Not much." Ye Fanggu stamped her feet and said, "What should I do? My husband is too impulsive. Why do you want to break into the tiger's den alone? Wouldn't it be better to be patient and follow the triumphant army back to Beijing?  He shook his head and said: "My husband must have a reason for doing this, but we don't know it. The problem now is that my husband is very dangerous in the inner city, and the British men and horses can't attack the inner city, dragging  If it continues to be consumed, it will be extremely detrimental to the husband. How can he find a way to invade the inner city? Once Mr. Zhang's troops enter the inner city, the husband's crisis will be relieved. This is what needs to be considered now.  " Lu Qingli said anxiously: "But how can we help with the war? There are only less than two hundred guards and personal guards in the mansion. Mr. Zhang and tens of thousands of people can't break the Zhengyang Gate.  It's useless to send people there." The little princess jumped up and walked out. Ye Fanggu hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Where are you going, sister?" The little princess said with a pale face and gritted her teeth: "I'm going to help my brother attack the city.  It's better to go with everyone in the house. One more person will give you more strength. It's better than waiting for bad news here. If something happens to your husband, I'll die with him. I'll just fight to the death." Ye Fanggu bit her lip.  He said: "Okay, I'll go with you. I haven't touched my sword for a long time. There's no need to wait any longer at this time." After saying that, he stepped forward and took the little princess's arm, and the two of them walked out.  .  The girls looked at each other in astonishment. Although it seemed useless to help like this, they could not refute it. If Song Nan was unlucky, what would be the point of these people living?  Lu Qingli also got up and chased after me, shouting: "Cousin, wait for me, I will go too." Zhu Fengtong got up and shouted loudly: "You are not allowed to go." The little princess turned around in surprise and said coldly: "Sister Zhu, don't forget  This is the Song Mansion, and you are not from the Song Mansion. Of course you don't care much about your husband's life or death, but for us, our husband is our sky. If the sky falls, we will not be able to survive. Sister Zhu, we should hurry back to ourselves.  Go to the house, this matter has nothing to do with you." Zhu Fengtong's dignified face turned pale, and he said quietly: "Sister, I insist on stopping you from rescuing Song Nan, but you can't help me at all.  "There is an old lady in the house and children below. You guysDidn't you even care about them in the past?  Even if you die for Song Nan, what will the old lady do?  What about the children?  Taking a step back, even if something unexpected happens, the first priority is to keep the old lady safe and continue the Song family's blood. It is really unwise to act impulsively.  " The little princess's face was red. She wanted to be angry but couldn't. After holding it in for a long time, she suddenly kicked the flower railing by the door, kicking a pot of spring begonia in full bloom. The pot was smashed into pieces and the ground was in a mess. Her own tears were also flowing.  The girls couldn't hold it back, and suddenly they cried in sorrow. Someone said softly: "Sister Zhu, you just said that the reason why Zhengyang Gate cannot be attacked is because the British father-in-law's weapons are not strong enough.  Is the Zhengyangmen city wall too thick?  "The speaker was Yang Kou'er, who had been silent all this time. There were still tears in her big round eyes, but her expression was still calm. Zhu Fengtong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded: "I saw it from a distance, and the young master's artillery shot towards  They blasted the city walls and gates, but to no avail.  There were many soldiers and horses at the top of the city. After several hard attacks, they were repulsed and many people died.  The opponent is well prepared. Even though I don't know how to fight, I can see that it is impossible to attack them if this continues.  " Yang Ke'er thought: "The city wall is thick, and the Shenji Battalion's Zhankou General Cannon is really difficult to work. Even our rocket launchers are useless, and the power of the shells is too small.  ButSister Qingli, isn't there a door in the arsenal cave of Shili Village in the south of our city" Lu Qingli's eyes widened. She suddenly jumped up and interrupted Yang Keer's words: "Are you talking about that iron chariot?  " Yang Keer nodded slowly and said: "Exactly.  " Lu Qingli said: "You mean, go and get them to help attack the city?  " Yang Ke'er nodded slowly and said: "Maybe it will work.  " Everyone was puzzled. The little princess frowned and asked: "What are you talking about?  "
