Why are we always BE

Chapter 243 Chang’an City shrouded in defeat

An Lushan's rebellion came a full month earlier than Su Qing expected.

"Fortunately, November is basically all the finishing work, so it shouldn't have much impact." Su Qing said to Jiang Shu when she received the news.

"Have you ever expected this situation before?" Jiang Shu asked.

"The precognitive eye only provides the most likely development situation in the future. Although most of them are accurate, people can make many accidental choices. Every chance may overthrow a mountain and overthrow the outcome seen by the precognitive eye. ." Su Qing said.

"So that's it. When will the imperial concubine's favor be repaid?" Jiang Shu asked.

"It should be... next June, at Maweipo." Su Qing thought for a while and said.

"Okay, there's still time." Jiang Shu said.

"Actually, it may not be a good thing for you to save her. In troubled times, her appearance can kill her the most. Moreover, she has been served in the palace for many years and has long since lost the ability to take care of herself. She keeps saying that she wants to live, but in fact she is far from it at all. Don't open this palace," Su Qing said.

"I only return her favor and don't care about her future. As for her appearance, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to help her disguise herself," Jiang Shu said.

"It's not a big problem. Who made you my wife? If you come to me, I will always come." Su Qing said in a huff.

"Why don't you try talking nonsense again?" Jiang Shu patted Su Qing's face and protested.

"That's wrong, that's wrong." Su Qing quickly surrendered.

In the next half year, news of the defeat repeatedly reached Chang'an, and the entire Chang'an fell into the depression caused by the defeat.

Zuixiang Tower is as hot as ever.

It was midsummer in May, the hottest time, and Jiang Shu, who lived on the top floor, couldn't stand the scorching heat.

"Who do you think are the people who squander money in Zuixiang Building every day?" Jiang Shu asked out of boredom as she lay on the corridor on the top floor holding ice cubes, listening to the singing and dancing downstairs.

"Zuixiang Tower is not just for drinking and picking up guests for a happy time. Zuixiang Tower can also provide an absolutely hidden place for discussions. It is even a huge information provider along with Zuixiang Tower itself. Many people come up to the fifth floor of Zuixiang Tower. It's to collect information," Su Qing said.

"Can you guarantee the safety of Zuixiang Tower in troubled times?" Jiang Shu asked.

"I'm a god. I'm just protecting a building. How could I not do it?" Su Qing said.

"What do you think Zuixianglou will do when the rebels invade Chang'an?" Jiang Shu asked.

"Just keep doing business, what else can you do? Even if the rebels attack the city, you still have to work, otherwise where will the income come from?" Su Qing said lightly.

"Such a profiteer." Jiang Shu provoked.

"Provocation is invalid." Su Qing said.

"cut."

Su Qing stared directly at Jiang Shu, who was wearing transparent tulle, and her ears were a little red.

Although this was the most popular dress in the Tang Dynasty, it was not comfortable for Su Qing.

It's just that even if Jiang Shu is fully clothed, she is still very tempting to Su Qing.

But I absolutely cannot take this step now.

"Someone from Jinxiu Pavilion will come tomorrow to customize some men's clothing for you." Su Qing turned away from her red face and said.

"Why?" Jiang Shu asked.

"We are going to Maweipo in a while. Men's clothing is more suitable for you to fight. In addition, anything can happen in troubled times, so men's clothing is more suitable for you to take action." Su Qing said.

"Okay." Jiang Shu nodded, still sitting in the corner holding the ice cube to enjoy the coolness.

"Don't hold the ice cubes all the time. Can't you hug me? I feel cooler too." Su Qing said with jealousy.

"..."

How could someone even be jealous of ice cubes... Jiang Shu secretly thought silently.

Thinking so, Jiang Shu moved her body with the ice cube and sat on Su Qing's lap.

Su Qing put her arms around Jiang Shu's waist and pulled Jiang Shu into her arms.

"You don't want to be jealous of ice cubes anymore?" Jiang Shu asked with raised eyebrows.

"How can you not eat it?" Su Qing said with a smile.

Then he kissed Jiang Shu's lips, greedily sucking in the tranquility.

"Oh... Su Qing, your kiss made my legs weak!"

The arrival of June cast the shadow of defeat on Chang'an.

The conflicts surging secretly in Chang'an City also began to erupt the moment the emperor disappeared from the city.

"The emperor sent me a secret message before he left, asking me to flee with them. I refused on the grounds of staying to guard Chang'an," Su Qing said.

"Indeed, it's not easy to leave directly after rescuing the imperial concubine." Jiang Shu said.

"After you rescue her, I will arrange for her to go south and give her a new identity and place in Jiangnan. As for how she plans to live after that, it is none of our business." Su Qing said.

"Well, when will we set off?" Jiang Shu asked.

"We are not in a hurry. We can just leave in early July." Su Qing said.

"Okay, I'll stay with you in Chang'an during this period." Jiang Shu said, holding her chin.

"Don't go out recently. Most of the people in the capital are on the run, and the border defenses in the city have almost collapsed. Now is the time when problems are most likely to occur." Su Qing warned.

"I died in troubled times before, right?" Jiang Shu asked casually.

"Why do you say that?" Su Qing paused her hand and asked.

"From last year to now, you have told me many times not to go out. I was not just sick at that time, I must have had an accident when I went out." Jiang Shu said.

"Stop asking, okay? I don't want to remember this." Su Qing held Jiang Shu's hand and asked tremblingly.

"Then I won't ask." Jiang Shu sighed helplessly, put her face in Su Qing's hand, and comforted her.

For more than ten years, whenever Jiang Shu asked, Su Qing would avoid him in various ways, so Jiang Shu could never find out anything about what happened at that time.

in a few days

"Reporting to the head of the family, most of the princes and princesses in Chang'an City were killed, and we are unable to save them." A Su family secret agent reported on the top floor of Zuixiang Tower.

"It doesn't matter, this is their destiny." Su Qing said.

"Gu Gu Gu's letter said that the substitutes of the master and his wife are ready and will enter Chang'an tonight." The Su family's secret stake continued.

"I understand. I will take care of it personally when the time comes. You have worked hard to guard Chang'an for me these days while I am away," Su Qing said.

"It is our honor to be able to share the worries of the family master." The Su family's hidden stake replied.

"What kind of training do you usually do? You just say these flattering words." Su Qing said with a frown.

"Go back and ask them to change their slogan." The Su family's hidden stake replied.

"Well, let's go back. Tell all the Su family members that in extraordinary times, if they are arrested, they all confess and then put all the blame on me. I will not blame anyone or punish anyone, but will reward them." Su Qing said.

"Yes."

After the Su family's hidden stake left, Su Qing turned around and said to Jiang Shu, "We will set off for Maweipo tomorrow."

"it is good."
