The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was slowly pushed open by two trembling maids, Cai Wenxuan walked down from the high platform, wearing a Danyang cavalry standard iron armor, the shoulder is made of bronze forged snake hook hook hook big black cloak, the armor on the top is also black, the head of the python is inlaid with rubies in front of it, the python opened its bloody mouth, as if to choose someone to eat, he stood at the middle gate, clenched the gun in his hand.

The man does not retreat, and he is alone.

At this time, the cavalry of the Yin Kingdom gave way to an aisle, the Empress of Shuyue appeared from the end of the road, Chu Xianzhao followed her, she successfully defeated the city lord of Danyang City, that is, the general of the Royal Snake Town, who was appointed by herself, she couldn't see any joy on her face, looking at the old general who was over half a hundred years old, she even felt a little cold.

Cai Wenxuan hated himself, the man's angular face was not full of energy, his long unkempt hair hung down to his shoulders, his weather-beaten face was carved into deep lines by time, and there was a deep scar on his neck, so that the empress did not dare to look directly at him.

The man in front of him was a famous general of the Shuyue generation, he hugged himself when he was young, he accompanied him to play under the bamboo forest in the palace, his arms were strong and powerful, and he threw himself up repeatedly but never missed. To this day, she still can't forget the story of Cai Wenxuan's thousand horses to open Chu and finally shoot Chu after the general Chen Baiwen, the horse's hooves trampled on the bluestone floor restlessly, and she chose to wear the white python robe that represented the imperial power of Shuyue, and the fox fur on her shoulders moved with the wind.

She stopped at the door, nodded to the old man in respect, flipped off her horse, and reached out to her forehead to hold her snow-white hair.

Cai Wenxuan said indifferently: "Your Majesty the Empress, maybe I should call you Shantai Ningsu, because the current emperor is Shantai Ninghua, you betrayed your country and brought the Yinguo Iron Horse to the land of your hometown." ”

He once called his brother, he once called himself a little princess, and Ning Su held back the grief and indignation in his heart, "Cai Wenxuan." "I did not betray my country, it was you who betrayed me. ”

"It's a pity, then I'm your rebel now, maybe you should let the Yinguo Iron Rider split my five horses, this is also what I requested. ”

Why did you say such a thing in front of everyone, you know that I don't want to kill you, the empress is bitter and sad in her heart.

The empress put her hands on her abdomen, and said with a graceful manner: "I am not here to kill, killing innocents is something that only Tantai Ninghua will do, but I am your empress, as I promised you at the beginning, I formed an alliance with the Yinguo people and brought their army to Shuyue, laying a solid foundation for our victory over Houchu, and I did everything I promised." But you joined forces to betray me, staged a coup d'état while I was away, and killed the Queen Mother to seize my throne, this is the real betrayal!"

"I know what Tantai Ninghua said to you, saying that I betrayed Shuyue to Yinguo, and now I am taking the army of Yinguo to invade Shuyue, kill your relatives and children, and establish our ancestors

Everything is handed over to the people of Yinguo, this is not my intention, I was the princess of Shuyue, and I am also the emperor of Shuyue, I will never betray the country. ”

"Tantai Ninghua used his lies to provoke the war between Yanfu and Yinguo, and now Yanfu has been destroyed, but I am not here to destroy my own country, and the only thing I want to destroy is the interests of people like Tantai Ninghua, the fear of killing innocent and dictatorial iron fists. ”

The empress said in a resolute tone: "Now that too many people have died in our Shuyue, it is because of his betrayal, I can forgive you Cai Wenxuan's ignorance, but you and your soldiers must kneel down and swear to me again!" #* Qi.. Better and faster

"Shuyue people will never kneel and surrender casually, and some no longer kneel in front of aliens, which is the rule left by the ancestors. Cai Wenxuan replied to her in the same resolute tone.

"I am your empress, as long as you surrender to me and swear an oath, I will not blame what happened before. The empress said with a hint of pleading, she didn't want to see the worst outcome: "I don't want you to be as stupid as the Yan Fu people, they will not give in and fight to the death, so they are now dead!"

Cai Wenxuan was silent for a moment and continued: "Tantai Ningsu, let me tell you why I don't believe you, you killed your husband who has been with you for many years, and chose to go to the Yinguo people to form an alliance to negotiate terms, the first emperor should not pass on the throne to someone like you at all." ”

Yes, it wasn't supposed to be me who inherited the throne, she thought to herself, "I confess my mistakes, I did it for the sake of my daughter." ”

"Is it really worth it for Chu Xiaohua?"

The empress's heart began to ache, "This has nothing to do with Chu Xiaohua, I have the lives of your two sons in my hands, as long as you surrender to me, I will let them go and reunite your family." ”

Without waiting for Cai Wenxuan to speak, the empress waved her hand, and immediately a soldier escorted two young warriors in gold armor walked in, the blood on their faces had not yet dried up, but they did not dare to face their father's gaze, the empress pointed at them and said to Cai Wenxuan: "I have pardoned your two sons, as long as you want me to kneel down and retake the oath, no one will hurt your family, I swear." ”

"Kneel? Do you really want me to kneel? But what's the use of me kneeling, so that all my soldiers will die in vain, Tan Tai Ningsu, do you know what the glory of a warrior is?" he raised his eyebrows, and the empress shook her head: "I only know that family is the most precious thing in this world, if I were you, I would pay everything for my children, even my life, I am not begging you, I am begging you." ”

The empress glanced at the wrinkles on Cai Wenxuan's face, and said calmly: "We are not young anymore, I have been the Emperor of Shuyue for almost twenty years, and you have also guarded Danyang City for almost thirty years, if it weren't for the fact that you offended the old lady by being competitive and competitive, and he complained to my father and the emperor and threw you to Danyang City to guard the city for a lifetime, you would have lived a peaceful and rich life in Lijing City for a long time, and you don't have to look at the faces of those bastards in the court, even if I won't give it to you."

Any look at the face. Now that you're old, you're still so stubborn, you'd rather die than bow down to anyone, even me. ”

Cai Wenxuan spat heavily on the ground and said disdainfully: "Forget it, I still prefer the innocent little princess I used to have, rather than the woman who is full of lies now." Cai Wenxuan shook his head.

The empress straightened the frost-white sideburns on both sides and said: "I will let you go, remember the old between us, I want you to swear to me on behalf of the entire Danyang City, I will let go of the old people and children in this city, and those soldiers who are willing to stay in the city can also stay, or follow me to Lijing City to regain the throne, after which I will be vassals." ”

Cai Wenxuan squinted at her: "Is this all arranged by you?" I refuse, but thank you, if you want me to die, you can come up and kill me in front of everyone now, I can die under your gun, this is the choice of me and all the Danyang cavalry." ”

"Your choice is a dead end!" reminded the empress, "I have not asked you for anything, and if you refuse my kindness, none of the soldiers in the city will be spared." ”

"You killed your own people, and your ancestors will not forgive a woman like you. ”

"They are dead, and the dead see nothing. ”

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to tell you, Tantai Ningsu, I'd rather die under your gun than kneel, give me a good time." ”

"Don't be angry, think about your family. ”

"What I did was worthy of my family. ”

He was bent on raising the bar with himself, and the empress took the trouble to explain to him: "The reality is already in front of your eyes, and soon I will attack the city of Lijing, and the Tai Ninghua and his criminal regime will also be destroyed, and I will destroy it with my own hands." ”

"Yes, you do have the confidence to say such a thing with your back to the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, and you are not afraid to tell you that Your Majesty's army is at least three times that of yours, and there is no large area of plains outside Lijing City for the Yinguo Iron Cavalry to charge, how long can your troops last?"

The empress said without hesitation: "Until Tantai Ninghua dies." ”

Cai Wenxuan sneered and said: "I really don't know what you have to fight with Tantai Ninghua, the people who sit on the throne are all surnamed Shantai, what is the point of the civil war? It will only make the people of Yinguo gnaw the fattest piece." ”

At this time, the Empress of Shuyue finally couldn't bear it anymore, "I will say it again one last time, kneel down and swear to me, I will spare you and your family." ”

"You want me to take an oath, right? Well, use the rules left by our ancestors to settle our disputes, you and I, one-on-one life and death, whoever wins, listen to whomever wins. ”

The empress's face quickly sank: "Don't bī) I'll do this!"

Cai Wenxuan laughed: "I am happy to pierce the tip of the spear into your black heart to pay tribute to the dead soldiers under me, only your death can end my hatred." ”

After saying that, he smashed the bottom of the gun to the ground with all his might, and the qi surged and flew like a dragon, and the wrists of the iron riders of the Yinguo Kingdom

With a flick, the spear pointed at Cai Wenxuan, but the man was not afraid of them at all.

"I advise you to listen to your majesty the empress, you see our army, you also see my strength, it seems that the gate of your Danyang City is not strong. Chu Xianzhao, who had not spoken, finally spoke, and Cai Wenxuan looked at the empress directly and asked, "It was he who killed the queen of Yan Fu and captured the city of rest...... Do you dare to bring such a person to Shuyue, aren't you afraid of harming Shuyue?"

Chu Xianzhao's face was red and white, he bit his lip and said nothing, and the empress defended him: "I trust him like I trust my own child, if it weren't for him along the way, my daughter and I would have died in a foreign land long ago, and we have no choice in the face of war." ”

Cai Wenxuan smacked on the ground: "Tantai Ninghua has never done anything to harm the interests of Shuyue no matter what, everything he does is to hope that the aliens will stay away from the land of Shuyue, but what about you? Not only did you kill your husband, but you also brought the army of the Yin Kingdom into the land of Shuyue, and joined forces with these barbarians in the Northern Regions." ”

The empress was silent for a moment and said: "I have been doing my duty all my life, I don't regret everything I have done, and the struggle between us and Hou Chu seems unforgivable, but I don't want the people on both sides to continue fighting, even if I really meet the people of the Yin country one day, it will be a long, long time later, as long as I live for a day, the people of the Yin country will never hurt the people of Shuyue." As for the shame given to me by Tantai Ninghua, I will repay him a hundred times, and I will never be soft. ”

Cai Wenxuan said: "You trust Chu Xiaohua so much, but you still overestimate yourself after all, how many troops did Chu Xiaohua give you to fight back against Tantai Ninghua? With your current strength, at most, you can end up with Tantai Ninghua, and then Shuyue's troops will be extremely lost, once the Hou Chu Iron Cavalry attacks, Shuyue will face a situation where all sides are empty, and Li Jingcheng will finally fall into their hands." ”

The empress's face was a little ugly, she knew what the consequences of the civil war were, and in order to defeat the rebels in Lianzhou and Pingzhou, they and the Yinguo Iron Cavalry paid an extremely painful price.

After today's battle, the losses of the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry are also heavy, but the losses of the Danyang cavalry will be ten times that of the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, these Danyang cavalry that were once the most relied on by themselves, they fought against the cornerstone of the town of Hou Chu, and now they have been wiped out by the Yinguo Iron Cavalry.

Is it really worth paying such a big price for revenge?

Cai Wenxuan looked at Chu Xianzhao and said: "I have finally seen the name of Yinguo Iron Cavalry in the world, defeat in your hands is not a loss, it is really miserable, the army that Lao Tzu has built up all his life will be lost in one day, you are powerful, powerful...... It can be described as undefeated. ”

Chu Xianzhao said softly: "The iron cavalry of the Yin Kingdom is not invincible, and the iron cavalry was also defeated at the beginning, but the enemy always can't defeat us...... Fighting, the Yinguo Iron Cavalry will always achieve the final victory, so it has to be called the world. ”

"Cai Wenxuan, I'll give you one last chance, and death is also death?" The empress's face gradually became solemn, the old man was silent, and looked up at the stars in the night sky: "I can only tell you, if you forcibly attack Lijing City, you will definitely be baptized in blood by Tantai Ninghua, he has a power in his hands that you can't imagine, I have seen it with my own eyes." ”

"What kind of power?"

"If you really hate Shu Yue so much, follow them out of this land and go back to Yinguo, so that you will be happier and live longer, little princess......" His voice suddenly became low, and he called himself little princess as he used to do.

"It's impossible, there's no way back. ”

Cai Wenxuan suddenly roared: "My Cai Wenxuan's Danyang cavalry lost to your Yinguo Iron Cavalry, but do you really think that taking Danyang will determine the outcome of everything? This is impossible! Go back to Yinguo with your army, Shuyue is not yours!"

In the astonishment of everyone, the iron spear in his hand rolled around, and the spear pointed at his abdomen and stabbed hard.

Red blood stains black nails.

......

......

The empress's face was very pale, she looked at the corpse on the ground, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and only then did her subordinates hold the two golden-armored warriors roar and broke free from the shackles of the soldiers, and threw themselves in front of her father's corpse and cried, the empress looked at this ruined city, and suddenly felt like a fish in her throat, unable to say anything.

This siege battle was carried out exactly according to her ideas, and the final result was as she thought, but she didn't expect the resistance of the Danyang cavalry to be so fierce, they would rather die than give in, and all the 50,000 Danyang cavalry in this war became corpses, no prisoners, no wounded soldiers, only dead souls, the price they paid in Shuyue was so heavy, so heavy that she couldn't breathe for a while.

The queen mother was killed, Shuyue was occupied, the strongest cavalry they had accumulated over the years to deal with Hou Chu, and now they were trampled into a horse by the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, what did she gain, a lost city, a people who were disappointed in her, everything she did, was it really worth it?

In their Shuyue's opinion, this Danyang cavalry was one of the strongest forces in their battle with Hou Chu, but when Shantai Ningsu brought the Yinguo Iron Cavalry into Shuyue, this thunderbolt of the clear sky had already befallen them, and they were caught off guard.

The empress didn't say anything, and now any apologies are meaningless.

She suddenly understood one thing, everything she did was wrong, she shouldn't have signed that covenant with Chu Xiaohua, of course, she was also thinking about the worst preparations, she had discussed the extreme situation of various military formations with the generals all night in order to defeat Hou Chu, and even imagined a worse situation than this, but she still made a mistake, an extremely fatal mistake, and it was precisely because of this mistake that the current tragic situation was caused.

She even suspected that she was being used by Chu Xiaohua, especially when she watched the Shuyue soldiers die in the Yin Kingdom

Under the hooves of the Iron Rider, it seemed as if something she had been subconsciously disbelieving was happening.

In her consciousness, she should be the emperor of Shuyue and the protector of this country. But she is also a woman, a mother, and her mother's instinct makes her kill her incompetent and cowardly husband who wants to send her daughter to a kiss in order to protect her child. Until one day she learned that the Yin Kingdom had destroyed the Xilin Kingdom, and the man who destroyed the country was the man she thought about at night, Chu Xiaohua, at this time a voice in her heart said to her, go find that man, he will help you solve all the troubles at the moment, and unload your burden, you are too tired.

In the end, when she went to Yinguo for the sake of the Empress of Shuyue, the conditions proposed by Chu Xiaohua were extremely fair and gave her a choice, as if she was playing chess, and it was precisely because of this fairness that she had some doubts and even fears.

Chu Xiaohua is the one who arranges the chessboard, in order to play this game of chess, this man has already thought of various situations and measures to deal with them, and she is just a clumsy chess player who is halfway home.

When she hesitated and didn't know how to fall, the man opposite had already set up 10,000 ways to defeat the enemy, and he would enjoy the process immensely.

Xilin, Beiban, Yanfu, and now it's Shuyue's turn...... Whichever country Yinguo Iron rode to, that country was doomed, as if it was a fateful army.

A blank appeared in her eyes, this blank turned the blood spilling under Cai Wenxuan into a cow-like white, and gradually the space around her was also white, just like her silver hair, she wanted to find sustenance in this blank, but she couldn't see her hands.

At this time, the whiteness in her eyes began to disappear, replaced by a very faint fluorescence, like fireflies in the night sky, which was a sign of Wang Xi's appearance, she saw a turbid sky in this vision, and she also saw a golden gate a hundred feet high, and outside the golden gate there was a flame of the same red gold as this door, during which it was constantly hit by purple thunder, which was the legendary gate of heaven.

From time to time, there are golden lights and shadows in the gate of heaven, like shadows like people, they drag the long golden rainbow to come and go freely, holding a long sword as golden as they are around, a sword is out, the extremely long sword rainbow is excited) into the sea, setting off dozens of zhang high waves to hit the black stone beach along the coast, the height of the waves even covers the scorching light, this kind of unimaginable picture of ordinary people is reflected in her eyes at this time.

She witnessed this destruction, the overwhelming qi swept over, the qi and the qi machine tumbled and intersected, the king's breath, the sword breath, the sound breath, the breath of nature, the breath of the immortals, all kinds of breath attracted each other, evolving a higher energy level than before, this is the power that shocked the gods and Buddhas, and mortals were terrified.

She saw the dynasties tumbling and intersecting like meteors, the kings fought with swords, fought and died, and the blood that flowed from them converged into rivers of blood, flowing to the feet of another king, she was just one of the kings of the past dynasties, and it seemed that the Empress of Shuyue was also Yun and Yun, who were above ten thousand people

There wasn't much special about it, and finally the river of blood reached her feet.

At her feet, is thousands of years of kings fighting and fighting blood shed, her soul seems to have left, she can't find any place to breathe, she watched the dense army shouting under the city, like ants under the tree spread over the earth, her eyes through the vast land, all the creatures in the world are watching her, their eyes are like a flowing whirlpool, there are birds, there are elk, and even dragons, the dragon is rolling in the clouds, the dragon's tail looms in the clouds!

She seemed to be standing in the battlefield of ten thousand armies, those terrible soldiers were fighting, they didn't even have time to take the next breath, their heads were cut off by the enemy's knife, those heads rolling in the air, some like her mother, some like her dead subordinates, among them there were enemies like her, and even Chu Xiaohua and Chu Yingyang, as well as her own.

At last she returned to the light-filled chamber, where she sat and held the baby in her arms, weak and sweet, with the same silver hair on her head and a soft face as a bun, and she smiled sweetly at herself, and made a muffled cry from her mouth.

"Ahh

Chu Xianzhao's heart suddenly cooled, and he turned his head and shouted, "Aunt Ning, Aunt Ning, come on, where is the doctor?!"

Suddenly, he heard the woman muttering in pain: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault...... I killed you, and I don't deserve to be this empress...... It's all my fault......"
