The Tanguts suspended their assault on the city of Juzhou, and of course, the Song soldiers, no matter how naïve, would not think that they had defended the city.

As Fu Nianjun said, this is just an insignificant "greeting" from the Tangut people.

They sent envoys who knew Chinese to stand under the city and negotiate loudly.

Fu Nianjun knew that the reason why Qi Zhaoruo put Liu Zhizhou and his cronies under house arrest without notifying her was that he knew that such a situation would come sooner or later.

They could all guess what the Tangut were going to do.

The people of the Western Xia demanded that the soldiers guarding the city in the city of Juzhou obediently hand over the daughter-in-law of the Great Song Emperor, Princess Huai.

Fortunately, only a few soldiers defending the city could hear this request, but many of them were Qi Zhaoruo's cronies, so naturally they would not whisper to each other like the rest of the young boys.

Did Princess Huai appear in the city of Juzhou?

They think it's unlikely, everyone doesn't know at all, could it be that the Tangut people know better than them?

However, many people have heard of His Royal Highness King Huai, the seventh prince of the official family, who has arrived at the border from the capital, but unfortunately, it has always been the news of chasing the wind and shadows, and the government has never hyped it up.

Yes, the prince is generally unable to lead the army and have real power, and the prince supervises the army, most of which is just the same as the role of the emperor's "royal conquest" to motivate the army, so the prince who has not made a big move when he arrives at the border, what is going on?

Therefore, many soldiers and civilians on the northwest border have the same thoughts as the "drilling snake" that Fu Nianjun asked that day, and feel that most of this matter is based on false rumors and exaggerations.

Now there is another princess Huai......

It's confusing.

Therefore, the Tangut people naturally did not get a satisfactory answer.

Zhang Zhanzhi thought about it and still felt a little strange, then the Xixia people would attack the city, and there was no reason to make up a reason to come, if he wanted to say something suspicious, he suddenly thought of Qi Zhaoruo's "daughter-in-law".

She said she wasn't his daughter-in-law?

Zhang Chan wanted to go to Fu Nianjun to ask, but was blocked by Qi Zhaoruo.

"Brother Zhang really wants to find a 'Princess Huai' to go out and give it to the Xixia people?"

"Then there has to be a princess Huai. ”

Zhang said.

Qi Zhaoruo raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "I thought that only Lord Liu would make such a decision, the Xixia people said that there is a saint's daughter-in-law in the city, so we have to find a daughter-in-law to go out, then what if they say they want the saint's son, grandson, or even the queen in a while?"

Zhang Zhaozhi reacted slowly, and after thinking about it, he finally understood what Qi Zhaoruo said.

He is saying that a cowardly person like Liu Zhizhou will definitely go all over the city to find the "Princess Huai" to beg for mercy from the Western Xia people.

But he is not that kind of person!

Zhang Zhanzhi immediately lost the idea of asking Fu Nianjun.

He shook his blackbeard angrily:

"Fuck it! Lao Tzu won't admit to these Hu Nu, we have to give it to whoever they want? Regardless of whether he is really Princess Huai or fake Princess Huai, he said that he wants to defend this city of Yinzhou, and none of us can give up!"

Qi Zhaoruo laughed, patted Zhang Zhanzhi's shoulder, and said: "Brother Zhang is really admirable, with your pride, we have no reason to lose!"

Zhang Qihe immediately turned around, stepped back on the city tower, and shouted to the soldiers on the city wall in a rough voice:

"The Xixia people raised by the son of a bitch want us to bow their heads if they find a reason! I, no matter who they want, they are all the people of our Great Song Dynasty, and no one is missing! Send them directly back to their hometown, and let them find their own mother!"

It's not enough to be relieved to think about it, Zhang Zhan is not Liu Zhizhou, he knows that this battle to defend the city is unavoidable, a little bit is a fight, just a little is also a fight, what is he afraid of!

So with a wave of his hand, he asked people to go to the city to find a few stinky clothes that poured swill and night incense and threw them down the city tower to give them to the Western Xia envoys, and shouted:

"Lao Tzu rewarded you for what you wear, smell it and see if it is fragrant? Phew! Why are you so kind, you dare to ask your grandfather if I want someone, and if you dare to come, you will pour a bucket of and pee!"

The soldiers on the city tower all laughed, and the Xixia people below were all furious.

These Song people are really crazy!

If Qi Zhao was from a noble background, he naturally couldn't do these vulgar things, but he didn't stop it, and even felt that Zhang Zhaozhi was making trouble like this, and it was indeed ......

It's a pleasure.

One of Guo Da's guards reported to Fu Nianjun at any time on the situation on the city tower and outside the city.

Fu Nianjun couldn't help but listen to him talk about the conversation between Qi Zhaoruo and Zhang Xuan.

Guo Da muttered beside him: "This Qi Langjun...... It's a big change, he used to be really ......."

Forget it, don't speak ill of him.

Fu Nianjun smiled, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and finally said to Guo Da:

"Tonight is the saddest hurdle, Guo Da, just when I ask you, from now on, please put my personal safety first. ”

Guo Da's face changed slightly, "Madam, I ......"

In fact, it's not just Qi Zhaoruo who has changed, Fu Nianjun knows that Guo Da is no longer the half-grown kid he knew at the beginning, he will complain and be angry, and fight with Fangzhu all day long......

He's already a man who knows what he's spilling over.

"The subordinates understand. ”

Guo Da clenched his fists, and the look on his face was serious.

Fu Nianjun didn't need to say anything, he understood in his heart.

"Madame puts the people of the city before herself, how can I be selfish, Madame, please take care of yourself, I and the brothers will also try our best to defend the city of Dunzhou. ”

Fu Nianjun's eyes were a little hot.

In the face of war, there are no masters and servants, there is no discord, they are all brothers and sisters, and they are all working hard to resist foreign enemies.

"Thank you......"

She said:

"You must also take care of yourselves, and we will ...... together Wait for His Highness to come down and pick us up!"

"Yes!"

Guo Da also smiled at her, and his smile was very clear.

……

The Tangut people launched a strong attack, and the sound of hitting the city gate was more terrible than everyone thought, and the knock was endless, like thunder in the wilderness, with the momentum of splitting the heavens and the earth.

Not only that, in addition to the main city gate, the rest of the city gates also have the sound of shouting and fighting swords from time to time, if it weren't for Qi Zhaoruo's early defense, I'm afraid that the panicked people would be enough to break through the city gate.

The sound of children crying constantly sounded in the city, and even the loudest sound was heard in the streets, because many anxious parents could not sit still at home and came out on their own to wander in front of the yamen.

"Where's Lord Liu? Why didn't Lord Liu come out? Did he run away?"

Many people have such doubts.

Fu Nianjun knew that he couldn't sit anymore.

She and Xiahou Ying took a few soldiers to light all the lights of the yamen, the smell of pine oil wafted, and in the whole city, the excessively bright yamen was the only place where the people had peace of mind.
