Due to the continuous pouring of ice water on the city wall for half a month, the gates of the Forbidden City and the city walls had already condensed into a slippery and thick layer of ice with the ice and snow that came as scheduled, so it was undoubtedly another difficult obstacle for Xiao Yan and the rebels.

For seven days in a row, the rebels attacked the city again and again, climbed the ladder, but failed again and again because of the condensed ice on the city wall, and fell, everything in front of them broke Xiao Yan's last patience, and in the early morning of this day, with Xiao Yan's cold order, a fire was set up under the city wall, and the last round of fierce attacks was launched.

On the eighth day, another piece of news came like thunder, and the rebel Zheng Wen had returned to Beijing with his army.

When Gu Yanling climbed the city wall, he could clearly see an army different from the Beijing Guards neatly and with a killing aura, as if it was smelted into the molten iron, and the iron hooves were like thunder.

Gradually, Gu Yanling watched the weathered Zheng Wen lead the army into Xiao Yan's army, as if a traveler who had been away for a long time had finally found his home.

"Weichen Zheng Wen, participate in His Royal Highness King Luo!"

Zheng Wence rode in front of him, respectfully stopped in front of Xiao Yan's horse, and was about to dismount, but was held by Xiao Yan's hand.

"Meng Zhong, it's been hard all the way. (Note: Meng Zhong is Zheng Wen's character.) ）

At the moment of speaking, Xiao Yan raised his head with a smile, as if he had removed the last obstacle in front of him and seen the great rivers and mountains, and in his eyes, there was a strong desire and sense of conquest that he had never had.

"Stuck to this day, your back is just a lonely city, why bother, obsessed. ”

A short sentence seems to be a consolation, but it takes off the hard armor of the soldiers defending the city, adding a bit of sadness to this last heroic fight.

"Concubine Taisun, if you open this city gate today, I, Xiao Yan, will never hurt anyone in the city, the matter has come to this point, and those who know the times are Junjie. ”

At this moment, the cold wind carried the snowflakes by, and the surroundings were silent, and everyone silently looked at the young princess in front of them, for them, she was the heavenly family they swore to protect.

Suddenly, Gu Yanling, who was standing on the city wall, had a faint and distant smile between her eyebrows, and the next moment, I saw her staring at her, and her words were full of deep meaning.

"I don't know if the Nine Emperor Uncles have ever heard a word. ”

Looking at the woman smiling slightly on the city wall, Xiao Yan couldn't help frowning, but when an ominous premonition rose, he heard another sentence that was enough to alert him.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind-"

The woman's aftermath dispersed into the air, and the sound of the sword suddenly unsheathed made his nerves freak, and just as he instinctively pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword, he already felt a cold and sharp coldness on his neck.

"Meng Zhong—"

At this moment, Xiao Yan's expression was extremely ugly, and he looked at the person in front of him with a sword against his neck in disbelief, and everyone present, whether it was the guards on the city wall or the rebels under the city wall, were all shocked by this sudden scene, but Gu Yanling, who was awe-inspiring, looked at the scene in front of him indifferently.

"You're crazy!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's violent shouting because of betrayal, Zheng Wen in front of him did not have the slightest action to release his sword, and in his eyebrows, not only did he not have a trace of guilt and avoidance of betrayal, but on the contrary, he was full of cold cold.

"Princess Luo's son died of a sudden illness, and His Royal Highness King Luo had clearly found out that it was the side concubine Wang's act out of jealousy, but he let that poisonous woman poison A-Yao's child again, my nephew, or rather, His Royal Highness King Luo's own son——"

At this moment, Zheng Wen's eyes were like eagles, cold and terrifying, eager to penetrate Xiao Yan's chest and take out his heart as hard as a stone, his words were full of anger and ridicule.

"Tiger poison does not eat children, in order to prevent Ayao from giving birth to my Zheng descendants in Luowangfu, in order to abandon me after my Zheng family holds you to Longtang in the future, you don't even let go of your young son, are you crazy, or me?"

In the end, Zheng Wen almost bit out these words from between his teeth, and when his wrist flipped, the blade of the sword was closer to the neck, and in an instant, the smell of blood overflowed, and under a blood-red scratch, Xiao Yan could feel the hot blood left on his neck.

And at this moment, he also fully understood, calculating all the time, but after all, he himself was also calculated.

At this moment, Zheng Wen glared at Xiao Yan coldly, and then shouted loudly: "Xiao Yan, King Luo, is a rebellious minister and thief who rebels against His Majesty, and he will be captured before he gets off the horse?"

As soon as the words fell, the rebels present were all confused, for a moment like a directionless fledgling, almost at the same time, a loud sound of iron hooves from far and near, almost moving, the next moment, you can see the tide of troops coming from a distance, galloping, surrounding the rebel regiments.

And that familiar figure, dressed in ink-colored armor, could not hide the fatigue of wind and frost, but he galloped to the city, and stared at the cold and arrogant figure on the city wall from a distance.

"His Royal Highness Taisun is here, those who are obsessed with it will not be killed!"

In the silence, Gu Zihan, who should have been uncertain about his life and death, was in armor, and suddenly appeared in front of everyone, sitting on a high horse, riding a horse and sweeping towards the rebels, with only one look, but also with the terrifying killing intent on the battlefield, forcing countless rebels to bow their heads and retreat.

"We don't dare, I beg His Highness for forgiveness—"

Almost the next moment, the sound of weapons falling to the ground sounded one after another, and all the rebels got off their horses in a panic, and hurriedly fell to the ground to plead guilty, and they were already defeated.

At this moment, Xiao Yan seemed to have fallen into a deep valley, and he knew very well that he was already in the general trend at this moment.

And he, from a very early age, fell into the trap set by his nephew of the same age as him.

just waited for the moment when he raised his army, and in the name of countering the rebellion, he was beaten as a rebel and thief, cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots, but he did not bear the infamy of being in the same room.

There was the sound of whining wind and snow in her ears, and the sound of the rebels begging for mercy, and at this moment, Gu Yanling couldn't listen to anything, she only looked at the tall figure under the city wall, and almost involuntarily, the tears that had been suppressed for a long time gradually welled up in front of her.

In the end, he didn't break his promise.

If they win the bet, even if it's just a fraction of a second, both she and he could die in the chaos.

But in the end, they won.

"Open the gates—"

Almost at the same time, the closed palace door finally opened with a "squeak-" sound, Xiao Yi under the city immediately rode in, and Gu Yanling on the city wall had forgotten everything, and walked towards the city wall without hesitation.

Just when there were still two stone steps, Xiao Yi had already reined in front of him, turned over and went down, and between his eyes, she didn't speak, and he didn't speak.

A long-lost familiarity rose strongly from her heart, making her unable to suppress her tears, and the next moment, she looked at the man under the stone steps and opened her arms, and said softly and warmly: "Ah Jiu, I'm back." ”

At that moment, Gu Yanling, who was on the stone steps, did not hesitate any longer, and jumped down almost at the same time, impartially, just falling into the familiar embrace, and the next moment, Xiao Yi hugged her tightly, and a low and hoarse voice slowly rose from his ears.

"Got you suffering—"

In a word, as if the butterfly wings gently touched her heart, Gu Yanling hugged Xiao Yi tightly, and then said calmly and angrily in his ear: "I have already thought that if you don't come back, I will take Ah Wei and An Le to remarry someone else, and forget you completely." ”

Hearing this, the smile in her eyes seemed to instantly sweep away Xiao Yi's fatigue and wind and frost that had been going on day and night for half a moon, Xiao Yi was not angry at this moment, but was happy, laughed out loud, and whispered in her ear: "It seems that others don't have this blessing." ”
