Early in the morning, when the officials who were still interested in going to court suddenly discovered that the emperor had given up the officials, civilians and people in Chang'an City and left, and then ran around and told each other, the entire Chang'an City was almost in chaos. The princes and nobles did not expect that they would become a burden to be left behind. They hurriedly went home to pack up their fine materials and prepare to run away for life. This emotion would have infected more people in a moment. If Pei Kuan had not been in time after receiving the news, he would have sent Jiang Du to the palace to suppress it, and then led the soldiers and horses that were temporarily pieced together in the streets and alleys, I was afraid that Chang'an would be in chaos in a flash.

At this time, whether it was Du Youlin or Cui Peng, even though Du Shiyi behind them had a very big reputation, they could not match Dou Shilang Dou E's reputation. This was Li Longji's cousin and son-in-law, the son-in-law of the princess, and the princess, so when he appeared in front of others, he vowed to lead the Dou family's generals to defend Chang'an City and would never abandon the city, he immediately gave many high-ranking officials and nobles confidence. Even the ordinary citizens in Chang'an City learned that Dou E had left behind, and the tide of escape with their children was slightly curbed.

Dou E's stay was used to persuade people not to rush to chase the emperor who was traveling west and flee Chang'an. The next time was Du Youlin's time to perform. He took people to various places to comfort and suppress the chaos in the Mobei region, and his father Du Shiyi had already led his troops south. The troops of the Anbei Protectorate, plus the troops under the command of the Shuofang Jiedushi Guo Ziyi, will arrive soon. Since Geshuhan had just been defeated, people no longer have confidence in the famous generals who were shrouded in the halo in the past as they were at the beginning. But after all, Du Shiyi was a native of Jingzhao, and how could the reputation of Geshuhan who had just become famous in recent years?

It was the famous minister who had been in his youth and had not known how many legends he had created over the years.

"The Shuofang army is full of horses and will definitely come soon. Even if it can't, my brother-in-law and I will lead the recruited warriors to defend Chang'an."

"You have lived in Chang'an City for decades. Have you forgotten that Chang'an is the most powerful city in the world? Just relying on this high wall and all the grain in the grain warehouse, let alone guarding for ten or eight days and waiting for reinforcements, it will not be a problem even if it is a year or two."

"The rebels only have two arms and two legs. The residents in Chang'an City are several times more than those of the rebels. They are not opening the city gate to fight with them. Can't we have hundreds of thousands of people in the city and even a city can be defended?"

Du Youlin and Cui Peng couldn't help but talk to others over and over again. In the evening, when they finally took a break and returned to Jingzhao Prefecture, they saw an old man riding over who was over 60 years old but still straightened his back. After meeting him, Du Youlin shouted in surprise and joy: "Uncle Chibi"

At Chibi's age, when Du Youlin's grandfather was qualified, but when he heard this title, Chibi immediately happily pushed his horse forward, then jumped off the horse and bowed, but Du Youlin quickly helped him up, and the two of them whispered there.

When Cui Peng heard this name, he immediately remembered the old things that his mother and aunt mentioned to him. Back then, his grandfather Cui Yanzhi gave these confidant families who had killed two Zhangs with the Cui family and killed Wei's family to Du Shiyi in order not to let them waste in this peaceful prosperous era. Now decades have passed, although Chi Bi is old, he still looks like a sharp sword that is unsheathed at any time.

Chibi naturally recognized Cui Peng. After talking to Du Youlin for a few words, he nodded to the old master's son, and then pointed to everyone behind him and said, "These more than 800 people were recruited by me."

The so-called recruitment is just a word to fool outsiders in front of others. Du Youlin and Cui Peng only saw that the more than 800 people behind Chibi were all strong. They stood silently in the afterglow of the sunset, without a trace of miscellaneous sound. No one would think that this was what the soldiers summoned in a hurry could do. However, behind Chibi was Du Shiyi, Du Youlin's father, Cui Peng's father-in-law. Even if the two could guess that the reason was not simple, they would never have any doubts. Therefore, both of them chose to ignore the mystery of such a team and quickly took Chibi to the Jingzhao Prefecture Party to meet Pei Kuan.

Although Jiang Du was sent to the palace to suppress the enemy, severely punish robbery and various speculators, Pei Kuan would never be so arrogant that he really did work in the palace. Since he had received Jingzhao Yin, and the public security in Chang'an City was the top priority. He even stopped going to the Censorate and regarded the Jingzhao Yuan as a place to set up camp. He didn't know how many temporary orders he had signed. Fortunately, there were staff provided by the Cui family, Dou family and Jiang family, otherwise he, Jingzhao Yin, would not even be sure that the subordinates would disobey the orders.

Therefore, as soon as Du Youlin explained Chibi's identity and mentioned his achievements in following Cui Tai's brothers, Pei Kuan was immediately happy. He ignored his superiors and inferiority and stepped forward to hold Chibi's hand tightly and whispered a righteous man. When he heard that there were nearly a thousand soldiers outside, he was even more relieved. He didn't care about how the people came, and agreed to Chibi's request to help defend the city immediately. When Du Youlin and Cui Peng personally sent Chibi out, a servant rushed into the main hall in anger. After a while, Pei Kuan's roar came from inside.

"Is Tongguan lost? How could it be so fast? There is no news in Luoyang yet?"

Du Youlin immediately exchanged a wink with Cui Peng, and then looked at Chibi again. Seeing that he just frowned slightly, Du Youlin asked in a low voice: "Uncle Chibi, Uncle Huya, where did he go? Aunt Gu'an said that he also brought a group of elite tooth soldiers. Now Chang'an is in danger. If he doesn't come out again, when will he have to wait?"

"Huya has long been no longer in Chang'an." Seeing that Du Youlin and Cui Peng were both shocked, Chibi simply revealed the truth.

"Since Princess Yuzhen's death, the Lord said he had moved to Yuhuaguan, Zhongnan Mountain, but he had withdrawn to Songshan early. Some of her old subordinates in Yunzhou rushed over one after another. When the rebels swept across Hebei and forcing Henan, the Lord heard that Wang Chengye, the incompetent guy who took over as Yin and Hedong Jiedushi, was the incompetent guy of Wang Chengye. He knew that he might not be able to count on the assistance of Hedong Road, so he rushed to Heluo with Huya, the fang soldiers and the old subordinates. She said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the eastern capital Luoyang City, and the palace was rich. Once the city was broken, the rebels rampant Heluo, and there was a system of people. Moreover, there was a tang in Songshan. Even if everyone was withdrawn, if the tang was burned by the rebels, the spirit of Lu in the sky would definitely not be able to rest in peace. Therefore, where are your master and third uncles?"

Seeing Cui Peng's disdain, Du Youlin was even more anxious. Chibi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's useless to say a thousand words now. The character of the Lord has always been as anxious as a fire, like a man. Otherwise, when he was Princess Xi, he wouldn't even be convinced by the people of Xi. No one could stop what she wanted to do, not to mention that Huya was once the deputy commander of the wolf guards in the princess's mansion. The call of the former master and it was not contrary to his mission, so he would certainly not refuse. If you have time to worry about their safety, you should think about how to defend this Chang'an City first."

Cui Peng keenly heard the profound meaning contained in Chibi's words and asked quickly: "Is it because my father-in-law can't arrive in time?"

"Chang'an City ordered Shuofang's troops not to move rashly several times. Guo Ziyi was afraid that his Majesty would be regarded as a rebellion and affect his family. In addition, he believed that Tongguan was natural danger and Geshuhan was a general, so he had never made up his mind. He just recently officially dispatched a large army to go south. It happened that His Majesty's troops, which fled west in a hurry, set off at this time. If I was not wrong, it is very likely that the two groups of troops would just hit. Do you think there would be some delays at that time?"

Du Youlin and Cui Peng then realized the mystery of this, and their faces were immediately very bad. Li Longji left the Chang'an subjects and only cared about running away. They thought this move was despicable, but in the eyes of many people with deep-rooted ideas of loyalty to the emperor, it was probably natural. The so-called emperor is the son of heaven, and the king's power is granted divinely. Everything is right. If there is any mistake, it will be all the fault of assisting the ministers. If the army going south really meets the emperor, what will happen then? Will Li Longji seize the military power of Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi and then hand it over to Yang Guozhong?

"Okay, I have ordered someone to take a small way to send out the news of His Majesty's escape. It's useless to think about these things. At this moment, how to immediately rectify the defense of Chang'an City before the reinforcements of Shuofang arrive? This is the top priority. Xiaolangjun, Cui Langjun, I'm afraid you won't have time to close your eyes this night."

At the Chunming Gate of Chang'an late at night, torches shone brightly on the city walls. All the athletes who were walking back and forth were wearing armor, either swords or spears, and they were straight, looking a bit like a regular army. If Bian Lingcheng had not seen these people rush into the armored guardhouse and take out the armored military robe to arm himself, he would have thought they were elite disguised. Even at this moment, when teams of people walked past him, he would still be unable to help but twitch the corners of his mouth, his face stiffened, and his back was sweating.

The reason is very simple. When the situation calmed down a little, when he thought that Ge Shuhan would lose a lot, the emperor would abandon the city and flee. He once planned to sneak out and give the palace keys entrusted to him to An Lushan, so that he could save his life. He did not believe in the news that the troops in Shuofang would rush to help.

But at this time, the person standing beside him was Jiang Du, the former domineering king of Chang'an, who finally showed his hideous face today. While suppressing the palace, those who robbed peers, or robbed Zuozangku were all killed by Jiang Du on the spot. Then, some eunuchs who were trying to start a riot were killed by sticks, and the wailing sound seemed to be echoing in their ears until now.

Bian Lingcheng couldn't help but shiver, then glanced at Jiang Du, but he wasn't careful that the other party also turned his head and even smiled at him. In the eyes of Bian Lingcheng, who had a ghost in his heart, this smile clearly had a profound meaning. Before he could think about how to speak and relieve the stiff atmosphere, he was taken first by Jiang Du.

"General Bian. I heard that the reason why Deputy Marshal Geshu hurriedly brought his troops out of Tongguan to fight the rebels was your instigation? And when he was escaping, he ran at the forefront and ran to Chang'an City to complain to His Majesty, and said in jealousy that Geshu Hanming should be punished to encourage and warn the soldiers and civilians in the front?

Bian Lingcheng never expected Jiang Du to suddenly raise such a question. He swallowed hard, and was about to defend himself, but Jiang Du showed his snow-white teeth and his right hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife in his waist. At that moment, he felt his head blank and he was trembling and unable to say a word.
