Forty-sixth

I stood on top of this high Yecheng tower, dressed in red, with a long skirt, a phoenix embroidered with gold silk fluttering its wings in the wind, ready to fly. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

Dong Di stood not far from me, looking at the distance with me, in the vast expanse, the snow was connected into a line.

The sound of the wind and snow whistling sounded in our ears, and the time was eternal, and we didn't say a word, and we kept looking silently into the distance, until the original vast horizon, countless black dots gradually appeared, galloping in the direction of Yecheng.

Dong Di's eyes sank, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to hold the city wall, and whispered in a deep voice: "It's finally here." ”

He slowly looked back at me, his eyes were complicated and unpredictable, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by the guards who hurried up to the city tower: "Dong Ye! I just received the news that the number of pioneer troops led by His Royal Highness is not five hundred, but three thousand! Dong Ye, what should we do now?!"

Dong Di's face changed, and he asked urgently: "How many troops are there in Yecheng?"

"No, less than two thousand ......" The person who reported the message was a young man, and at this moment, his voice trembled, implying despair.

Dong Di drank horizontally and interrupted him: "What are you afraid of! We have the danger of this Yecheng, and we have the three princesses in hand, so I don't believe that I can't fight him Nan Chengyao!"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head to look at me, his eyes fierce, and I looked back calmly, without saying a word, but also not avoiding it.

After staring at me fiercely for a long time, he laughed out loud, a little sad and a little ruthless: "The triumphant army did not lead 500 people into the city according to the usual rules, but led the crowd to 3,000, and the momentum was violent! Is this the return of the class division to the dynasty or the siege of the city? The third princess is really right, what kind of person is the third highness, Dong can be regarded as a leader today! Now that Yecheng is confined and can't even fly out, he can still know everything that happens here thousands of miles away. I don't know if the princess is willing to sacrifice herself as bait to lure Dong, or is she also a poor person who has been abandoned?"

I still looked at him quietly, my eyes were as bright as water, and my voice was calm: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, no matter what role Murong Qing plays in it, it doesn't matter anymore." ”

He smiled, and his eyes showed the usual ruthlessness and disregard of people who ran the rivers and lakes: "The overall situation has been decided? I'm afraid that it may not be! If His Third Highness wants to take this Yecheng from Dong, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!"

My heart sank, and I was just about to say something, but he turned around without hesitation, and said in an unquestionable cold voice to his subordinates: "Immediately bring me people into the city, and tie up all the wives and children of the soldiers who joined the army here, don't hurt anyone, but don't let anyone go!"

"Dong Ye?!" Rao is a group of brothers who have followed him to the north and south for many years and have intersected with their lives, and they couldn't help but exclaim when they heard his words.

He didn't say a word, he waved his sword decisively, and between the lightning and flint, the giant banner of the sky waving in the wind on the head of the city had been broken.

He put away his knife and turned his head, his eyes were fierce and cold, and he looked at his subordinates fiercely and coldly, and said word by word: "If this order is violated, there is such a flag!"

On his body, there was a fierce and powerful oppressive force of the Yin Owl, and his eyes were heavy, and the subordinates finally couldn't stand such a shock, and they went down the city tower in silence one by one.

I looked at his resolute and broad back, slightly anxious in my heart, but my face was silent and indifferent: "Master Dong, even though the Tao is different, in Murong Qing's mind, I have always respected you as a character. But now, just for your own selfish interests, do you want to involve all the innocent women and children in this city? Their husbands and brothers, in order to protect the peace of Mobei, they are waiting for the day when they are finally reunited, how can you bear to do this now?"

Dong Di looked up to the sky and smiled, the laughter was thick and pathetic, and it lasted for a long time.

He didn't look at me, looked at the army that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and it was already vaguely recognizable, and slowly said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and loyalty and righteousness are the same. If it weren't for the great kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, there would be no Dong Mou today, and even if I lose all the people in the world, I will never lose His Highness's deep kindness! Even if I can't save the lives of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Mobei in the end, I will fight to the death for him to remove the biggest obstacle on the way to the crown! Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants His Royal Highness to bear the notoriety of abandoning his wife, Dong Mou simply does not want to tie up the women and children in the city together, and see how the Three Highnesses choose. Loyalty and righteousness, since you can't have both, Dong simply gave up the same and occupied the same, which can be regarded as not living in vain!"

I looked at him coldly: "For your foolish loyalty, you will be buried with thousands of innocent women and children, even if you are infamous for the ages, do you not hesitate?"

He laughed frantically and responded: "Dong Mou wants to be happy and has a clear conscience today, what are you doing with these false names?"

As soon as the words fell, his subordinates had already escorted a group of women and children to the city tower, compared to the silence of the men, those women all whimpered and wailed, and the entire Yecheng city tower was a sad and miserable scene in an instant.

I looked at Dong Di fixedly, and opened my mouth word by word: "Until now, can Dong Ye still say the words 'clear conscience'?"

His burly body shook suddenly, but he just said in a hard voice: "After today, Dong will apologize for his life in Mobei, that is." ”

I sighed in my heart, knowing that his concept was already deep-rooted, and it would be useless to continue, so I stopped saying anything at the moment, but just moved my eyes to the sky again, and the corners of my lips unconsciously brought out an unknown wry smile.

Three thousand elite soldiers, he had already calculated all this.

In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago, when he asked me to stay in Mobei, when he asked me to dress up in fancy clothes and persuade me to drink, he held my hand and told me that I should have guessed when he came back.

In this war between the Nan brothers, I am a perfect pawn, allowing them to flip their hands and attack each other.

Suddenly, I thought of what my mother once said, she said that it is the supreme blessing in this world to be able to live a peaceful life, but in a family like ours, no one can think of it.

The faint self-deprecating smile on my lips couldn't help but widen a little.

The iron cavalry was like flying, but in the time of tea, Nan Chengyao and his 3,000 soldiers were already in the city.

Dong Di stood at the head of the city and raised his voice: "Your Royal Highness, under Dong Di, please enter the city with one person from your Third Highness!"

Nan Chengyao white feather armor, set up a "thief and light horse" under the city, heroic and chic, the natural king's demeanor is undoubtedly revealed, he looked at Dong Di from afar, and said lightly: "Who did you send to take this king into the city here?"

Dong Di's expression was straight, and he said stiffly: "There is no one else, it is Dong who wants to invite the three highnesses to get together!"

Nan Chengyao still looked at him lightly, but his eyes did not hide his contempt: "Since you have no supreme intentions, you support your own army and prevent my army from returning, which is tantamount to a traitor, and you still want to get together with this king?"

Dong Di's face stiffened, and he suddenly pushed me in front of him: "Third Highness, when you say this, do you want to ignore your wife and the hundreds of thousands of women and children in Yecheng?"

Nan Chengyao didn't look at me at all, his gaze slowly swept over the women and girls who were crying on the tower, but stopped when he was about to approach my position.

Then, his voice resounded in the midst of the snowstorm, word by word, calm and resolute, with an inexplicable, demagogic stabilizing power—

"All sisters and relatives, your husbands and fathers and brothers, they are all behind me at this moment, they are concerned about you day and night, and they will never put your lives at risk! I, Nan Chengyao, swear here, even if I fight for my life, I will take this Yecheng and ensure the reunion of your family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the women and children on the upper floor of Yecheng City temporarily stopped crying, and turned anxiously and expectantly to look for their relatives among the three thousand soldiers behind him.

Even though there is no way to find them, they are willing to believe that their husbands and fathers and brothers are among them, as every desperate person would do, holding on to the sudden sunshine and hope.

"Qiangzi Dad, I'm here! Do you see it, I'm here! I'm waiting for you here, you must come......"

I don't know who it was, so I shouted out loudly first, and in an instant, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The women and children in the city all shouted hoarsely at the dense soldiers who couldn't see their faces under the city tower, even though the military discipline under Nan Chengyao's rule was strict, and no one responded loudly, but this did not prevent them from venting their emotions.

The shouts full of lovesickness and anticipation echoed in the flying snow above Yecheng for a long time.

Dong Di saw that the situation suddenly took a sharp turn, and suddenly snatched the knife of the guard behind me and put it on my neck, and in a hurry, he naturally forgot to control the force, and the sharp blade left a long hole between my neck.

Actually, I don't hurt.

After standing in the wind and snow for so long, even the hand warmer in my sleeve was already cold, my body was stiff and numb, and I didn't feel the slightest pain at all.

It was only when I suddenly heard the voice of my liver and gallbladder splitting, and then I subconsciously looked down, but found that Yin Yin's blood had already flowed along the knife in Dong Ye's hand, all the way, dripping into the snow downstairs in Yecheng City, bit by bit, red and white, like the fragrance of new plum and snow, which was dazzling.

Dong Di probably didn't expect to hurt me, he was slightly startled, and let go of the strength in his hand, but the knife, in the eyes of outsiders, was still on my neck.

"Second sister—you wait for me—"

While calling me miserably, he was about to hit the horse forward as if he was crazy, but Qin Zhao in front of him saw the opportunity and calmly stretched out his hand to firmly restrain him.

I closed my eyes slightly, and was about to say something, but I heard Nan Chengyao's voice ring first.

He still didn't look at me, just stared at Dong Di, opening his mouth word by word, his voice was not his usual carelessness, but it contained the cold and killing intent that I had never seen before, and it was a little colder than this ice and snow: "If you dare to hurt half of her hair again, I will call you the Dong family and wipe out the nine clans!"

In the last four words, his voice was treacherously light as a feather, but with endless coldness and strong oppressive force, the bone-eating fear and despair extended to the hearts of the people.

Every word is even.

Up and down the tower of Yecheng City, including Dong Di, his face changed unconsciously, and no one doubted the credibility of his words.

The three princes of the Southern Dynasty have always been true to their words!

Before Dong Di could react, he had already resolutely and decisively slashed his sword, turned his back to the soldiers behind him, and issued a military order with an undoubted kingly attitude: "The first person to enter Yecheng will be rewarded with a thousand gold and a thousand households will be sealed!

The "Zhuanlu" sword in his hand slowly came out of the sheath, the sword was like lightning, dazzling and full of flowers, and suddenly pointed directly at Dong Di: "The three armies listen to the order and attack!"
