Chapter 712 Rescue
That evening, Wang Wenzhou got up to urinate and accidentally woke Gao Guiying.
Gao Guiying asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Wenzhou hugged Gao Guiying and kissed her, then said with a smile, "I'm going to take a leak."
Gao Guiying thought for a moment and then said, "Don't go out, it's so cold!"
Because they were in the midst of a siege, Wang Wenzhou and the babies slept in a tent. The tent was not very big, so there was no toilet prepared, since the space was too small and the smell was too strong, which Wang Wenzhou could not stand.
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Sister! A living person can't let themselves die from holding in their pee!"
Gao Guiying glanced at Wang Wenzhou with a mournful look, then lowered her head and took the food into her mouth.
"Huh?" Wang Wenzhou was completely dumbfounded. Had this baby gone mad? How could this happen? Urine is different from Mengniu milk!
Gao Guiying said, "Hurry up!"
Wang Wenzhou quickly said with a smile, "Sister, stop fooling around!"
"Hmph!" Gao Guiying's expression changed, and she felt very upset. What a jerk! He's willing to do this for you, and you don't even appreciate it?
Gao Guiying fawned over Wang Wenzhou because she felt she was getting old, and in Wang Wenzhou's heart, she was merely a substitute for her younger sister, Gao Guilan. However, over this period, she had truly been seduced by Wang Wenzhou. The key point was that Wang Wenzhou was completely different from men of this era; although he was somewhat of a womanizer, he was incredibly good to his wives and concubines.
Just now, that little bitch Wen Liandie slapped Wang Wenzhou in front of her and Wang Lin. Based on Gao Guiying's understanding of men, no man could stand such an insult, but Wang Wenzhou's reaction was completely different.
Therefore, Gao Guiying wanted to please Wang Wenzhou and replace the bitch Sheng Lan and Liu Rushi in Wang Wenzhou's heart.
"Sister, be good! Um..." Wang Wenzhou quickly explained when he saw that Gao Guiying was angry.
Gao Guiying said sourly, "I knew it. All you care about are your Lanlan, Ruru, and Xiaolanlan. Get out!"
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed, then quickly hugged Gao Guiying and kissed her, saying with a smile, "Sister, you should know that your little brother loves you!"
"Hmph!" Gao Guiying said irritably, "Is that so? I feel like you don't have me in your heart?"
Oh my god! Help me! Wang Wenzhou was quite helpless. How could Gao Guiying's imagination be so peculiar?
"Smack!" Wang Wenzhou suddenly slapped his forehead. What a fucking idiot! His girlfriend was trying to please him! And he rejected her! Of course, she'd think he didn't love her and get angry!
Good heavens! Wang Wenzhou looked at Gao Guiying and smiled bitterly to himself. Baby, I eat and drink from your mouth. If you let me pee in, how am I supposed to eat in the future?
"Hmph!" Seeing that Wang Wenzhou didn't react, Gao Guiying lay down and turned her back, unwilling to pay any more attention to Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment, realizing he couldn't upset the baby. If the baby was angry, he wouldn't let him sleep peacefully. For the sake of happiness, he could only make sure the baby brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth properly tomorrow.

Royal study room.
Although it was late at night, Zhu Youjian was still awake and reviewing memorials.
Wen Liandie came to report just now, and after listening, Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile. It seems everyone changes; even true love can turn into a bitter enemy after certain events.
Zhu Youjian had also considered this and felt that Wang Wenzhou was putting on a brave front. He believed that as long as he brought Liu Rushi to the city wall, Wang Wenzhou would back down.
However, Zhu Youjian dared not do so, because he had heard from Wang Qiang that Wang Wenzhou's subordinates deeply admired Liu Rushi. Half of the attacking troops were Liu Rushi's students and adopted sons. If Wang Wenzhou did not back down and Zhu Youjian publicly humiliated Liu Rushi, it would backfire, and Wang Wenzhou's men would surely fight to the death to attack the city.
Wang Chengen began, “Your Majesty, Wen Tiren, Qian Qianyi, and others request an audience.”
Zhu Youjian frowned deeply. It was so late, and these high-ranking officials were still coming to pay their respects; something must have happened. Had Wang Wenzhou already stormed the city?
"Announce!" Zhu Youjian said hastily.
When Qian Qianyi and the others entered the room, before they could even kowtow, Qian Qianyi said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please take a look. These are leaflets distributed by the rebels."
Zhu Youjian took a look, his expression changed, and he asked coldly, "How did these things get into the city?"
Yang Changsi said with a wry smile, "They all floated down from the sky. They're everywhere in the city. Now the people in the city are in a state of panic and are talking about it."
Zhu Youjian nodded. He knew that Wang Wenzhou had a large Kongming lantern that could carry people flying. A few days ago, he had sent people to raid the palace, but they were all wiped out.
Zhu Youjian asked, "Minister Yang, where are the armies from various regions that came to the emperor's aid?"
Although Wang Wen surrounded the city, he still couldn't prevent messages from being transmitted between the city and the outside world.
Yang Changsi said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangshan just sent word that his troops were surrounded by a suddenly appearing Tartar army near Julu."
"What?" Zhu Youjian asked in surprise, "How could the Tartars appear?"
Yang Changsi said helplessly, "This matter is most likely the work of Wang Wenzhou. Wang Wenzhou has always colluded with the Tartars. Now that he has launched a surprise attack on the capital, the Tartars will definitely take action as well. Lord Lu was anxious to rescue the city, so he led his troops to the rescue in a hurry, but he did not expect to be ambushed by the Tartars."
Zhu Youjian was immediately alarmed and broke out in a cold sweat. Lu Xiangshan's Tianxiong Army was the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and there were very few troops that could fight Wang Wenzhou. Even with the city walls as their defenses, the three major camps of the capital were almost destroyed by Wang Wenzhou's forces. Other troops simply couldn't fight Wang Wenzhou's forces in the open field.
Zhu Youjian immediately ordered, "Order the nearby troops that have come to the aid of the emperor to first rescue Lu Xiang-sheng's troops, and then come to the capital to relieve the siege."
Yang Changsi smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, are you still worried about Lu Xiangshan's troops? The capital is almost breached by Wang Wenzhou. These past few days, many of my colleagues have even sent their nephews and nieces to the city walls to defend it. Now, which family among the ministers of the capital isn't wearing mourning clothes?"
Although they managed to withstand Wang Wenzhou's relentless attacks over the past few days, they suffered heavy casualties.
"Yes! Your old minister obeys the decree and will issue the order immediately." Yang Changsi dared not disobey Zhu Youjian's order.
Qian Qianyi thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, rescuing the capital is of utmost importance! Wang Wenzhou is now threatening the people on a large scale, and everyone is living in fear. If some evil-minded people secretly join Wang Wenzhou, it will be troublesome if Kaicheng surrenders!"
Zhu Youjian said with a wry smile, "Am I supposed to just sit and watch the elite of the Ming Dynasty be wiped out by the Tartars? Even if we don't send anyone to rescue Lu Xiangshan, even if the siege of the capital is lifted, what will we use to deal with the Tartars?"
Yang Changsi thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, there are still tens of thousands of elite troops at Shanhaiguan. Could we send them to provide reinforcements?"
Zhu Youjian thought for a moment and said, "This is the only way. Immediately issue an edict to Wu Sangui, the general of Shanhaiguan, ordering him to quickly lead his cavalry to relieve the siege of the capital."
Shanhaiguan is more than 600 li away from the capital. In this era, it would take infantry at least ten days to half a month to arrive. Zhu Youjian could only order Wu Sangui to lead cavalry to the rescue. Besides, not all the troops at Shanhaiguan could be transferred away, otherwise there would be no one to guard the pass.
