The gatehouse was suddenly pushed open, startling the two people in the house, Hua Youyue, who had changed into a white robe, stood in front of the door and looked at them, and said angrily: "Chu Xuanzhao! I have been looking for you for a long time but have not found you? What did I tell you this morning, once you arrive in Jingnan City, after counting the number of soldiers at the city gate, the number of war horses, and the frame of the baggage cart will be sorted into a written copy for me! What are you doing now?"

"Who are you?Is this a place where you can come casually?Get me out!Red Frost!Luping!Why didn't you stop her!" Nangong Mingyue pointed out the door unceremoniously, and the maids were just about to come in with their skirts to explain, but Hua Youyue closed the door unhurriedly, clenched the hilt of her sword and said in a deep voice: "You are ......"

"Nangong Weber's eldest daughter, Nangong Mingyue, the city lord of Jingnan City. She replied coldly and politely.

"In the Lower Heavenly Feather Palace, Hua Youyue, the eldest daughter of Hua Ming Pavilion, is here, and she has seen the Nangong City Lord!" she hugged her fist at her and saluted back, after hearing the identity of the other party, anger swept under her eyes, and then disappeared in a flash, pretending to be polite: "It turned out to be General Hua, come and come, sit down and have a cup of tea together?"

"Don't drink it, next time! Chu Xuanzhao, wipe your mouth clean and follow me, I have something very important to explain to you. ”

"Okay, okay......" Chu Xianzhao put down his chopsticks, and suddenly remembered that there was still this stubble, but after those soldiers went ashore, they all poured into the city, looking for Qinglou to find Qinglou, and drinking to drink, just like the bandits entering the village, they couldn't stop it.

"Wait! What are you going to do, this meal is not finished yet! The soldiers are safe and sound after entering the city, General Hua doesn't have to be so impatient. Nangong Mingyue stopped in front of Chu Xuanzhao, clasping her hands on her chest and glaring at Hua Youyue.

"Nangong City Lord! Our soldiers are here to defend the city for you, not to travel! Military law is ruthless! If the military situation is delayed, can the city lord afford it?" Hua Youyue didn't eat her at all, and refused to back down.

"I am the lord of this city, and it stands to reason that my power is above General Hua, and I said that if he is not allowed to leave, he will not be allowed to leave!" she sneered, playing with a strand of hair.

The sword is unsheathed!

Jian Feng pointed at Nangong Mingyue's eyebrows, but Chu Xianzhao was startled, and Hua Youyue took out the eagle talisman from his arms: "This token was given to me by His Majesty the Emperor before I left the city, this time the city defense battle will have absolute command, Nangong City Lord doesn't want to disobey the king's order, this is a capital crime!"

Nangong Mingyue didn't blink before the sword: "If you have the ability, you will cut it down, I don't know if the king is not the king, after I die, someone will naturally come to clean you up!"

Hua Youyue's sword edge approached another inch!

At swords' points!

Suddenly, she squinted her eyes and said coquettishly: "I remember, General Hua's performance in the battle of the West can be described as earth-shattering, not to mention the death of my two cousins, there are tens of thousands of unjust souls standing behind this, naturally they will not care about a woman's life, I am afraid that this heaven has eyes, and when the time comes, he will be sick in his later years, and there will be no offspring, this is karma, and he can't complain about others." ”

"It's better than you seducing the prince and being kicked out of the palace!"

The two women with the same miserable background faced each other, Chu Xianzhao finally couldn't stand it, Nangong Mingyue was okay, this Hua Youyue was angry but it would cost her life, and the young man hurriedly pressed Hua Youyue's sword: "Teacher, I'll go with you, don't embarrass Sister Mingyue." ”

He took Hua Youyue's hand and left the room, the door opened and closed, and only Nangong Mingyue was left in the room.

The girl looked at the wooden door and was silent for a long time, and threw the few bites of food on the table into the barrel along with the plate.

The sound of plates breaking continued one after another, like the cracking of an ice fountain.

At night, Jingnan City

At the confluence of the two rivers, the ancestors of Yan Yu built this vast and majestic city with one hand, one foot and one mud embryo, the white robe stood silently on the top of the city, holding the hilt of the sword and looking at the gentian pass two hundred miles away, a green silk flew in the wind, and the white robe that had been washed white all the year round was raised, revealing a plain white little arm, and the woman was like a lonely white bird washing her feathers in the wind.

Chu Xianzhao walked up to the tower and respectfully handed over a newspaper: "Teacher, before we came, there were nearly 40,000 defenders in the city, 30,000 horses, 8,000 iron cavalry and 8,000 land battles in the Osprey Battalion! The Lushui Division had 6,000 sailors, including 3,000 clippers, and the ships were equipped with cannons and crossbows! The Feiyan Battalion was the forbidden army in the city, with 20,000 men! In addition, we brought 50,000 troops, and we had nearly 100,000 troops to resist the attack of the Yanyu people, and there was enough food in the city to support us to survive half a year's defense of the city!" This is the grain report given to me by the lord of Nangong City...... And armaments...... Teacher, take a look. ”

Hua Youyue took the newspaper and glanced at it, clenched the newspaper with both hands behind her back, and nodded: "Well, you did a good job, if you can do it sooner, I won't be hungry to accompany you now." ”

"Or let's go to the city to eat spicy haggis together, it is said that the haggis in the city of Jingnan is a must in the northern region, I just saw the soldiers gathered in front of the haggis stall, they told me that haggis, expensive in the miscellaneous and broken, haggis slices, pieces, silk, strips, belly, strips to be cut very fine, heart, liver, blood and lungs to be evenly matched, and finally the miscellaneous into the pot, simmering, can also be accompanied by fine vermicelli, accompanied by spicy noodles, coriander, green onions, ginger powder, etc., think about it

It's drooling......" Chu Xianzhao looked at her tentatively.

"Are you here to fight or are you here to eat haggis?"

"You can't go to the battlefield hungry, right?" Chu Xianzhao scratched her head, and the woman showed a faint smile: "You are always the most reasonable, by the way, did you kill the dragon in the Cloud Sword River, I remember I told you-"

"If I don't make a move, our soldiers will all have to die in the Cloud Sword River, in this case, does the teacher still want to blame me?" Chu Xianzhao asked softly.

"No, you are not afraid to slash the dragon in the face of danger, you have done a good job, but you will not be an example! If we really fight with the Yanfu people, I need you to stay in the city and not take a step! Live well until our last battle with the Yanfu people!" Her voice gradually became high-pitched.

"In the Battle of Sabbath, I need you to kill Yanfu Emperor Chai Longxiang with your own hands, only then can you really set foot on the battlefield, do you understand?"

Chu Xianzhao subconsciously bit his lip, and Hua Youyue noticed this small move and explained: "I'm not asking you to be a coward, but I don't want you to be a fool. Have you ever wondered what would happen if we lost this war? The soldiers in the city will all be killed, and some of the corpses will be thrown into the river to feed the fish, or hung on the city wall for humiliation and deterrence, as for the women, it will be even worse, the backbone will bite their tongues or hang themselves, only those who are willing to survive will become slaves and military prostitutes, and will be tortured by the Yanfu men all day long, and once they are infected with bed disease, they will be executed on the spot, and the girls you brought, including me, will not escape such a fate, do you want this kind of thing to happen to usAnswer me!"

"They...... Will they really treat us like this?Aren't all captives alive?" Chu Xianzhao shuddered fiercely.

"Really! Maybe it's ten times worse than this, because that's how we treat them!" Hua Youyue showed a sad smile and stroked the green silk in her ear: "The reason why I bitterly persuaded you not to send you to death is actually for the sake of the safety of all of us!" From the moment you step into this city, your life is not your own, but everyone's, and you may be the one who wants to be the emperor in the future, and those who have blood on their hands can't be a good benevolent monarch, and those who should be killed will be killed for you, and those who shouldn't be killed will be killed for you, do you know what I mean?"

Chu Xianzhao nodded, and Hua Youyue said slowly: " And on the battlefield, no one cares if you are a prince or a soldier, a knife is a corpse, remember that no matter what happens, don't be in a hurry, you kill the enemy soldier is happy, but the family will hate you for a lifetime, you will meet a lot of poor people in the war, but you don't forgive them indiscriminately, I still remember when I went to Yunjian River to fight, there was a veteran who took in a little girl Yan Xuan, and the next morning was killed by this little girl who cut her throat in the camp tent, this veteran is a real experienced person, those Yan Fu turtle grandsons on the battlefield failed to kill him, but was killed by a little girl in the end, the end is inevitably embarrassing. The little girl was also pitiful, and she didn't run far before she stumbled and fell into the Yunjian River, and in the end we only found an embroidered shoe by the river...... In short, you must learn to think carefully, the poor must have something to hate, never forgive the defeated prisoners without principle, and never slaughter the living without a bottom line......"

"Teacher!" Chu Xianzhao suddenly interrupted her words, and Hua Youyue frowned: "Did I say something wrong?"

"I just think that the way you talk about the truth is good-looking, teacher!" Chu Xianzhao smiled warmly, Hua Youyue was stunned, and stretched out her hand to slash Chu Xianzhao's neck lightly: "Understand the point of my words!"

"Yes, yes, I must recite the last five hundred sides before going to bed every day, and I will remember your words before I go to bed and when I wake up. Chu Xianzhao said with a smile.

An imperceptible crimson appeared on the woman's face: "I'm not one of those little girls, I don't eat you." ”

"I didn't think you would eat it, you are the big Yinqin Demon Flower Youyue, when I was a child, my sister always used your name to scare me, and it worked to coax me to sleep. ”

"Really?" Hua Youyue looked at the moat under the city, and there was no sadness or joy in her eyes.

"Teacher, have you been here with Cloud Sword a long time ago?" asked Chu Xianzhao.

"I've been here, but I never thought that one day I would stand here in Jingnan City. As the two spoke, the eagle flag flew flying.

"The city was built about three hundred years ago, ruled by the vassal king Chai Xuandong under Yan Fu, this vassal king was very far-sighted and thoughtful, he built a bridge across the river behind the city and in front of the city wall, and dug a long moat to surround the city, until his grandson's generation completed the construction of the bridge, and built a high platform and fortress on the city wall, which is where we stand now, not only that, you see that there are two towers in the bridge under us, there are soldiers watching, with bows and arrows and artillery, as long as we close the bridge, the soldiers will not be able to reach the city, unless with the help of ladders and ships can attack the cityIf the Yanfu people forcibly attack the city, they will suffer their own losses. ”

"According to your words, our city is as solid as gold?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Nope! There can't be a city in the world that can't be captured, otherwise we won't stand here, but this city is Yan Fu after all, we can turn this city into an island in the lake, but they can also force us to die in the city, so the soldiers must not be afraid of the city to fight, the meaning of defending the city is to consume part of the Yan Fu people's troops, our real purpose is to take Yan Fu, if you blindly retreat, not to mention the army of 100,000 people, no more than 100,000 people, we can't capture Yan Fu, with the spirit of Yan Fu people will never surrender, I don't know what crazy behavior they will do, everything has to be cautious。 ”

"Gentian Pass in front is a plain enclave, beyond this hurdle, we can directly lead the troops to attack the city of rest, try to ask which army can stop the full charge of the iron cavalry of the Yin country, no matter how strong the city of rest is, it is in vain. Hua Youyue smiled: "So I bet my life on this war, if we can successfully defend this city, after that, I bet that Emperor Yanfu Chai Longxiang will definitely die!"

"Does that emperor really have to die?" Chu Xianzhao said softly, Renjun didn't kill the monarch of other countries, Hua Youyue smiled angrily: "What did I tell you just now, don't give them forgiveness for no reason, didn't your father also burn the king of Xilin? You just follow his example and do it, yes, but compared to Chai Longxiang's death, I still hope you can live."

Chu Xuanzhao glanced at her deeply and stopped talking.

The two of them stood on the top of the city and looked at the Gentian Pass in the distance, their eyes gradually soaring to the stars above the clouds.

"Let's go, if you look at it any longer, Yan Yu people won't come now, where is the spicy haggis you just mentioned?" I want to eat!" Hua Youyue said suddenly.

When it was approaching, Chu Xianzhao took her into the haggis house, Jingnan City was happy to eat mutton and roast duck, Chu Xianzhao also Hua Youyue picked a remote place to sit down, Hua Youyue rarely changed the white robe, put on a lilac skirt, the heroism on her face was gradually replaced by Jiao Rou, the haggis house work trotted to the table of the two with a lot of eyes, immediately shrewdly rubbed his palms, beckoned the two to the elegant seat on the second floor to sit down, Chu Xianzhao waved his hand and said that he would leave after eating, no need, Hua Youyue saw that this haggis house sold signature cinnamon wine, so he asked the guy to come over。

The diners around looked at the two people in the corner, and commented one after another, most of the people who came here to eat haggis were old customers in the city, and they could recognize acquaintances at a glance, Chu Xianzhao didn't long after he sat down, he asked the haggis restaurant guys to serve a pot of haggis, and by the way, he had some signature side dishes, and turned a deaf ear to the whispers around him.

The dish will be served in a while, in addition to the haggis, there is also a pot of fragrant charcoal-roasted fat duck, the fat duck is served in the delicate food box, the oil is overflowing, Chu instantly summoned a piece of duck wings to the flower Youyue bowl, the woman is still drinking, the cinnamon wine is fragrant, but this kind of flower Youyue is even rarer, it is rare not to be so generous, the corner of the eye is a touch of red, and the face looks dignified and ancient, just like the lady in the portrait.

"I get drunk quickly if I just drink and don't eat. Chu Xianzhao swallowed a large piece of haggis and reminded, the woman smiled, her face was warm and pleasant, Chu Xianzhao found that she had two faint dimples when she laughed, and she really couldn't see it if she didn't look carefully, thinking about it this way, this seemed to be the first meal that the two of them had eaten since they met, Chu Xianzhao sat opposite her at the table, Hua Youyue sat on the high bench, and half of her warm ivory-like calves were exposed under the table.

Hua Youyue used a knife to cut the skin of the roast duck, the hot meat juice flowed down the skin of the roast duck, she picked up a piece of duck meat and chewed it carefully, the dimples on her face became more and more obvious: "Hmm...... It's delicious. She commented.

"I heard from my father that you have always lived in Lin'an City, why haven't I seen you?" Chu Xianzhao asked after drinking a glass of cinnamon wine.

"There are so many people in Lin'an City, you can't know every single one, right? Besides, I don't live in the city, I live on Tai'an Mountain, and I often meet with the great priests. ”

"I've always felt familiar to you, like you've seen you somewhere, but I can't remember you. Chu Xianzhao said.

Hua Youyue smiled and put her hair in a high ponytail like Chu Xianzhao: "Do you remember this, when you were very young, I went to the Weeping Eagle Pavilion, and you called my sister at that time, we sat by the pool together to feed the fish, remember?"

Chu Xianzhao racked his brains to think, it seemed that there really existed such a girl in the sea of memory, she was wearing a green dress not black or white robe, with a high ponytail, she held her legs and looked up at her and smirked at her, but she always couldn't remember this girl's face, it was very vague, and there were little ripples in the river of memory.

Hua Youyue saw that Chu Xianzhao had not moved her chopsticks, and she also smiled a little, Emperor Yinhuang once took her to the Eagle Pavilion, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl at the time, and she didn't hate him so much, and Emperor Yinhuang didn't have any scheming, just wanted Hua Youyue to see her child. Hua Youyue still remembers that this little prince with purple eyes ran out of the house with his bare buttocks, and he didn't know that the bird in his crotch was exposed, and he suddenly pointed at Hua Youyue and ran over, hugging her thighs and laughing stupidly, the emperor looked at his little son and couldn't cry or laugh, and asked his son to call Hua Youyue his sister......

But the white horse passed through the gap, and as the years grew older, the memories of these two people were like thick snow on each other, and they dissipated by themselves as soon as the spring breeze came, and there was no room for conservation.
