In the royal city of Yingdu, since the Phoenix Mountain was besieged, if Ao Zike was defeated, if Ao Yuejiao surrounded Phoenix Mountain again...... One by one, the news came, whether it was a commoner, a trafficker, a pawn, a slave, or a prince and minister inside and outside Yingdu, they were all shocked, excited, and anxious, and without Yue Jiao's order, the twelve city gates were closed, and no one could enter or leave except for mosquitoes and flies. The moat outside the city has been rapidly widened in the past ten days, and there are layers of heavy guards, trenches blocking, and traps along the way.

One by one, the slaves and strong men who were brought in were ragged and haggard, forming a team of slaves and strong men who dug and carried day and night, but they were not given any food, and there were whips waving above their heads to drive them to continue to intensify their movements.

"Hurry up!"

A thin figure "fluttered" and finally fell to the ground holding the boulder.

The companions around him tried to pull him up, but he was so tired that he couldn't even respond to the whipping, everyone's eyes were filled with despair at this moment, and the entire Yingdu Royal City lost its former vigor and turned into a lifeless coffin worthy of the name, so depressed that people couldn't breathe.

No one knows such days.

When is it an end?

Until a rapid sound of horses' hooves trampled on the suspension bridge of the moat like a drumbeat, and quickly approached Yingdu.

Several galloping fast horses stepped on several corpses that had been unrecognizable, rushed out of the woods outside the Yingdu City, and came all the way towards the Yingdu King City.

In an instant, before the person arrived, he held high the token of Ruo Ao Yuejiao and shouted to the defenders on the city gate, "Hurry up and put the suspension bridge, we have the military life of Lord Yin, we want to enter the city to see Captain Liu!"

"Hurry up and release the bridge, open the city gate and let it go!"

Standing on the city tower, the city gate Da Lang hurriedly called people to put down the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and welcomed them into the city, only to see the people who came and the group quickly beat their horses through the north gate, all the way straight to the palace, all the way to shout: "The princess is going to attack back!"

"Tomorrow the war will start, and Lord Yin will order the whole city to be under martial law and prepare for the battle!"

At this moment, Yingdu, which had been silent for many days like a backwater, was finally broken......

On September 20, the 19th year of King Chumu, since dawn, within less than three hours of Mihuang issuing a declaration of war on Yuejiao, the news was like a hurricane blowing all the way from Phoenix Mountain to Yingdu and even to the surrounding counties that had heard the news for a long time.

The soldier in charge of the overseer stepped forward with a whip in his hand.

"Get up!"

Xiao Si, who was originally unable to fall to the ground, saw the horse's hooves galloping past him through the city, but his thin chest, which had almost no undulation, stirred up like a bellows, and the ten fingers with cracked nails gradually reacted, tightly clasped the turf flying under him, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll get up!"

The twelve city gates that have been blocked for nearly half a month, at this moment, they were finally knocked open from the outside, and this sound of life finally disrupted everyone's breathing at this moment, huge exclamations, and even unconscious cheers sounded in an unknown corner, Xiao Si picked up the fallen boulder again, and breathed tightly, "Xiao Wang, the princess is coming back!"

"Well, Fourth Brother!"

Xiao Wu heard that he was standing beside him, his eyes were red, and he nodded vigorously, "We've waited." ”

Sometimes, all you need is one signal.

can become a belief.

Since entering the city, the heralds have been shouting all the way towards the palace of the king of Chu, and with the letter they sent out, in less than three or four teas, the people of the whole city knew about this big news.

Lao Wan, who was about to open the door to do business, wanted to stop the visitor in disbelief and ask.

"Is it a lady?"

"Is it really the princess who is coming back?"

The old man at night carried his hammer and nodded vigorously, "Lao Wan, you heard it right!

"No, no!"

"I'm going to tell everyone about this!"

The old man said to do it, turned his heels, turned into the streets and alleys quickly, and the sound of bangzi knocking on the "bangbang" all the way attracted the people's sideways, "The men in the family, the old father, and the son were pulled out of the city and pulled to the battlefield, and there were only orphans and widows left in the family, and those who were looking forward to their early return also came to listen!"

"You will be as excited as I am when you hear this news!"

"The lady is coming back!"

"Really?"

Originally, because all the belongings in the family were confiscated, and all the husbands and sons were taken away, the desperate people who did not know their lives and deaths rushed out of the house one after another, pulling the old man to ask questions and questions, and repeatedly confirmed, "When, when?"

"Tomorrow!"

The old man said heavily, as if he had seen the nine-tailed black phoenix flag replanted at the head of the royal city, and the appearance of the phoenix riding a high-headed horse into the city in a heroic manner, "Tomorrow, the princess will defeat Yue Jiao and return to Yingdu!"

"So fast?"

"Didn't you say you had to wait a little longer?"

"Don't wait! The lady doesn't want us to wait, so she wants to come back!"

The old man said excitedly, "Let's wait tomorrow!"

"She'll definitely be back!"

When the people of the whole city heard the news, their hearts were no longer panicked, and their faces were even full of smiles, and some people even shouted to go together, "Then what are you waiting for? We will go to the city gate now and prepare to wait, waiting for the princess to enter the city as soon as possible!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Let's all go to the bottom of the city and wait!"

For a while, Cha Liao, wine shops, shops, and inns that were originally ready to open shops to do business, closed one after another, and closed because of the suppression of Yue Jiao, countless people gradually poured out of the empty street market from various places and even unknown corners, everyone rushed to tell each other, and rushed to the various city gates, no one knew which city gate Mi Huang would come back from, but they all wanted to watch her come back at the first time.

……

"Miss, Miss!"

"Something big has happened!"

"Everyone is saying that the princess has released words to attack Yingdu, and she will come back tomorrow!"

Wang Shiyu's girl ran in from outside the door with her skirt, pushed the door with a "clang", and was bored and confined at home except for sleeping and eating Wang Shiyu, who was waiting to get married, turned over and sat up when she heard the words, "Really?"

"That woman is coming back?!"

Wang Shiyu couldn't believe it.

Mi Huang was so embarrassed that she was chased by Ruo Ao Yuejiao, fled in all directions, and hid in Phoenix Mountain for a long time, but she actually shouted to send it to the door today, "She thought that Yuejiao was a white dragon raised by Princess Wu, so easy to kill?" Yuejiao has 130,000 horses!"

"She doesn't have any of her own personal soldiers, all of them are from the Ruo Ao clan, can you listen to her?"

Even if she doesn't know how to fight, she knows how big the difference between the two sides is.

"Could you have heard me wrong?"

The girl shook her head and replied to her with great certainty, "Miss, not only is it rumored in the city now, but the princess will recover Yingdu tomorrow and expel the evil wolf!

……

At this time, it was located in the northwest corner of Yingdu in the Captain of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Liu Yizheng, who returned from the order, sat quietly in the main seat, beside him, including Xiao Huanglin, all of whom were his henchmen who had been promoted through observation during this period of time, in addition to them, there were a few more different figures, the first to bear the brunt was naturally Wang Yin, who was originally a confidant like Ling Yinzi, and several sons of Li Lao, when they heard the news that Mihuang was going to attack back, all of them could no longer sit still.

Wang Yin stood in front of Liu Yi and said in a deep voice: "Captain Liu, presumably you have also received the news that the princess is going to attack back." I know that if Ao Yuejiao has a promotion for Liu Duwei, but it is impossible for such a wolf to follow forever, and his puppet dynasty will not last long. ”

"Even if it is not the princess who attacks and comes back tomorrow, I believe that the horse will definitely lead the troops to attack and come back soon!"

"So now is the time for Liu Duwei to make a decision. ”

"Is it a temporary wealth, or a lifetime of merit!"

Liu Yi looked at him with deep eyes, and sat in his position calmly and asked: "Wang Yin has come to the door again and again in the past few days, and today he said these words, so he is not afraid that Liu will arrest you on the spot for treason and dedicate it to Ruo Ao Lingyin?"

"I'm afraid, I won't come!"

Wang Yin looked at him and replied, "And Wang Mou thinks that he will not be wrong, although Liu Duwei is responsible for holding the Yingdu, but these days, he has never done anything to disturb the ministers and nobles of the court and the people, and I have lobbied Liu Duwei several times, but Duwei has never told Yue Jiao, so I know that Liu Du Wei must not be in the same stream as Yue Jiao!"

Old Elder Li's eldest son also took a few brothers to Liu Yiyi and said, "Although Li Huan's father fell into the hands of Yue Jiao, at this time, it is not a matter of the survival of my Li family's Wang family, but the survival of the entire Great Chu Society!"

"I also hope that Lord Duwei will take care of Da Chu Sheji and join forces with us to fight the enemy!"

Xiao Huanglin's gaze fell on the group of courtiers and nobles who were long-talking, and he wanted to speak, but after coming into contact with the eyes of the captain, he closed his mouth again.

Liu Yi picked up the tea, took a sip lightly, looked at Wang Yin and the others and said, "Lord Wang, Lord Li, you keep saying that you want Liu to join forces with you, but why do you want so many brothers to follow you to do this head-killing thing that may lose your head?"

Wang Yin smiled when he heard this.

Everyone is for profit, if each other's interests are tied, on the contrary, he can also believe more in the true purpose of this rising upstart in Yingdu, simply for the survival of the country, he does not believe that a son of a poor family who has groveled to Situ Nan for so many years in order to get ahead will easily join forces with them.

So he turned around and signaled to Li Huan, and Li Huan immediately ordered someone to send the rich remuneration prepared by each family, "These captains, are you still satisfied? If you are not satisfied, you can just ask!"

Liu Yi looked at the boxes of gold, bronze, jade, and silk silk they uncovered, and then closed the wooden boxes one by one, and demanded, "In addition to these, Liu wants the same!"

"What?"

Liu Yi walked up to Wang Yin's ear and said, "Only with this can things be done!"

"Haha, okay, Liu Duwei is really thoughtful! Let's go and prepare for this!"

Wang Yin stroked his head and palmed his head again and again, and believed Liu Yi's words even more.

With his help, great things will be accomplished.
