Because the Ande Palace in the royal city, which was originally used as the king's palace, collapsed under the shock wave caused by the explosion of the firearms store, part of the wall was no longer usable, so Li Zaiyuan temporarily moved into Deshan, which was used as a side hall. In the palace.
As soon as he entered the Deshan Hall, Pu Jingyuan saw that the young Crown Prince's eyes were red and he looked very excited, while the king sitting on the main seat looked a little lonely and unwilling.
Seeing this scene, Pu Jingyuan couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart...
"General Park, no need to be more polite!"
Pu Jingyuan was about to salute, but Li Zaiyuan stopped him. Then, before he could speak, he looked at him sincerely and said, "I have something to ask the general, please agree to it!"
Upon hearing this, Park Jingyuan, who was loyal to the royal family, did not hesitate at all. He immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice:
"I, the Park family, have been favored by the royal family for generations, and I am willing to go through fire and water for the king, no matter what!"
Li Zaiyuan was a little moved when he heard this. He personally helped Pu Jingyuan up and said slowly:
"There is an underground secret passage in the royal city. I want you to take some capable soldiers to protect the crown prince and leave tomorrow. Lie down and wait for an opportunity to recover our palace..."
Before Li Zaiyuan finished speaking, Li Xuanchang, the crown prince, crawled over, hugged his legs, and let out a cry.
"Father, if you want to leave, let's go together!"
Li Zaiyuan smiled, touched his son's head, and said very calmly;
"Silly boy, what those people want is my life. If I leave, they will search the ground to find me. Besides, I am the king of the palace. If the city is destroyed and the country is destroyed, I should sacrifice my life." How can you be greedy for life and afraid of death if you die for your country?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Xuanchang, who was still young and lacked experience, didn't know what to do at all. He was so grief-stricken that he could only look at Pu Jingyuan with red eyes as if asking for help, placing his hope in his father. The most trusted confidant can make his father change his mind.
Feeling Li Xuanchang's gaze, Pu Jingyuan sighed inwardly, but still said:
"Your Majesty, it's not the last moment yet. As long as we break out of Liujing, there may be a glimmer of hope!"
Li Zaiyuan shook his head and said:
"Although Xu Zhaojie doesn't want to annex the palace capital, now that Liu Jing has been defeated, even if he doesn't want to, he has no room for maneuver."
"I think he has already received the news by this time and has sent troops from Wanfeng Mansion. His army will be able to reach Liujing in five days or three days. By then, none of us will be able to escape!"
"I've made up my mind, don't say any more, just do what I want!"
At the end of the sentence, Li Zaiyuan, the king of Gongdu who had been in power for decades, spoke with a firm and unquestionable voice.
As the saying goes, "the master humiliates his ministers to death." Seeing that Li Zaiyuan was determined to die for his country, Pu Jingyuan's resolute face was also full of grief and indignation.
But in the current situation, there was nothing he could do on his own. He could only bow deeply to Li Zaiyuan, kowtow and leave.

At three o'clock in the morning, Ye Mingsheng, who had slept until he woke up naturally, opened his eyes comfortably. However, what surprised him was that he was sitting on the chair with a quilt covering his body, and there was another baby in his arms. Soft and fragrant body.
Looking down at Pei Zhixiu, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Ye Mingsheng felt a touch of warmth in his heart. Because there were still military affairs to deal with, Ye Mingsheng didn't waste much time. He stood up carefully and put Pei Zhixiu on the chair. Then he covered her with the quilt, fearing that this sickly looking woman would catch a cold.
After doing this, Ye Mingsheng walked out of the military tent. However, what he didn't expect was that just a few seconds after he left the military camp, Pei Zhixiu, who was sleeping on the chair, opened his eyes. A sly smile appeared on her pretty face··············
"Hello, Master!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng coming out of the military tent, Ye Kui and Ye Dong, who were guarding not far from the tent, greeted him with a playful smile.
Seeing the winking expressions of the two people, Ye Mingsheng shook his head helplessly. He naturally understood that the two brats might have seen what happened last night when he and Pei Zhixiu were alone in the room.
However, this matter cannot be explained clearly, and Ye Mingsheng himself does not want to explain it. As a normal man, for a delicate beauty like Pei Zhixiu to actively throw himself into his arms, Ye Mingsheng has to say that he has no idea. You can't even fool yourself.
If he hadn't been in trouble recently, his head was tied to his waistband, and he was really lack of interest, Ye Mingsheng might have executed the little devil Pei Zhixiu on the spot.
After eating some dry food and tidying up his personal hygiene, Ye Mingsheng took a few soldiers and first went to the North Gate Sentinel Commander Wang Xian's defense area to inspect.
