After returning to the military camp, Cui Lin quickly led her army to attack Bingzhou. The defenders of Bingzhou were defeated in the first battle. Some of the remaining soldiers abandoned the city and fled to Jianzhou, while the rest surrendered. Han Li saw that something was wrong and escaped under the desperate escort of his personal guards. However, Cui Jiajun had ordered people to search everywhere and closed the city gate. Cui Lin ordered that Han Li must be captured before the Zhenxi Army. At the same time, Lao Bao of the Zhenxi Army was also looking for traces of Han Li everywhere.
The outside of the house was in a mess, but Gu Waanniang, the concubine of Prime Minister Gu, remained calm and composed and continued her embroidery. Prime Minister Gu had six daughters. They felt that Gu Wanniang was not really smart and had no skills, so they listened to the third daughter and sent her to Bingzhou. Just as he was thinking about it, urgent footsteps suddenly came from outside the house. Han Li suddenly appeared in front of him and wanted to take this opportunity to escape temporarily. Gu Wanniang was also a fierce woman and mocked Han Li for breaking into a woman's boudoir in broad daylight to seek refuge. Han Li was trying to harm Gu Waanniang. At this moment, Li Ni pushed open the door and entered.
In desperation, Han Li pushed Gu Waanniang away and fled for his life. Seeing that Xie Chang'er had gone to pursue him, Li Ni jumped up and rescued Gu Waanniang who was about to fall down the stairs. By chance, Cui Lin arrived in time and saw this scene. Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, Cui Lin was willing to admit defeat and give up Bingzhou City. But how could Cui Lin give up this military fortress so easily? She had already ordered people to evacuate the food and supplies in the city when she entered the city.
The Zhenxi Army realized later and hurriedly approached Cui Jiajun to argue, but the two sides started fighting as soon as they disagreed. Liu Chengfeng and Cui Lin on the side did not care about the commotion in front of them, and calmly ate the snacks in front of them. Seeing the snacks stained Cui Lin's mouth, Liu Chengfeng stepped forward to wipe it familiarly. And this scene happened to be right in front of Li Ni's eyes. An unknown fire suddenly burned in Li Ni's heart, causing him to blurt out the word "stop", and the entire hall fell silent. It was this sound that made Liu Chengfeng notice that the hairpin stuck in Li Yi's head was clearly the hairpin that Cui Lin claimed to have lost.
Li Ni was bored. Thinking back to Liu Chengfeng's behavior towards Cui Lin just now, he felt really bad. Just as he was thinking about it, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door, and he couldn't help but guess that Cui Lin must be looking for him. So, he quickly got up and opened the door. But as soon as the door opened, the smile on his face fell instantly, and the joy in his eyes disappeared. Gu Wanniang thanked Li Ni and offered to donate the Gu family's supplies, but she had one request - to accompany the army to Beijing. Li Ni naturally refused. Firstly, this was against the rules, and secondly, he had no time to take care of his female relatives. Unable to bear Gu Wanniang's request, Li Ni had no choice but to agree to her disguise as a man and accompany the army.
In order to appease the people in the city, a lantern festival was held that night. Li Ni took the initiative to invite Cui Lin to go out together in the evening. The sky lanterns lit up the dark night. Cui Lin and Li Ni were sitting on a small boat, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of them. Li Ni told Cui Lin that he grew up in Beijing. After learning to ride a horse, he often rode alone to Leyouyuan. Leyou was originally a scenic spot in central Beijing. It is located on a very high ground. Standing there, you can overlook the entire Kyoto. Cui Lin couldn't help reciting the poem "Thousands of trees are chirping with cicadas across the bank, and the west wind is blowing in Yuyuan. Xihe took advantage of the Yuquan to stay, and continued to the east without letting go of the setting sun." But what Li Yi had in mind was another song. Before Li Ni could speak, Cui Lin was the first to tell what Li Ni was thinking.
Ever since she entered the imperial city, Mrs. Wei has always regarded herself as the royal wife. However, the former Crown Princess Xiao was Sun Jing's childhood crush, so she was always looked down upon by Xiao. But how could she swallow this breath, so she opposed Mrs. Xiao everywhere, vowing to establish dignity in front of her. However, Mrs. Xiao relied on Sun Jing's favor and did not take her seriously at all. At this time, Sun Jing had not proclaimed himself emperor. Logically speaking, Mrs. Xiao's status was above her. Therefore, Mrs. Wei found Mrs. Xiao even more distasteful and considered sending her away.
