Chapter 3 Siege of the City
Ye Daiwan has been burning for a day and a night, and it has burned so much that even people can't recognize it. It took Yu Yan and the others a lot of effort to finally appease Ye Daidui. But it was not so much to appease her, but to tie her to the bed with a rope, and pour her a lot of soothing tea before she fell asleep.
"Didn't Lord Lu say that as long as you have a stick of incense, you can come back? It's been two hours. Yunlan waited anxiously at the window to watch.
"I guess I ran into an enemy on the way. It's okay, I'll be back soon. Even if they don't come back, Lord Jiang Ying will quickly repel the enemy. Ji Xi comforted, and then saw a figure, and subconsciously lifted the vase in his hand and smashed it.
The other party flashed the vase with agility, and Ji Xi and Yun Lan had already drawn their swords.
"It's me."
The two looked at each other, it was Qingyun. She was overwhelmed, covered in wounds, her clothes were stained with blood, and she had lost a lot of hairpins on her head. Yun Lan and Ji Xi immediately pulled her into the house.
Ji Xi asked first. "Have you taken the medicine?"
Qingyun took out a bag of intact ones from her tattered clothes, and there was not even a trace of blood on it, which showed her intentions. With trembling hands, she handed it to Ji Xi. "In, here."
Yun Lan immediately realized that something was wrong with her and looked down. "Qingyun, why are you all in a cold sweat. What happened? What about Lord Lu? ”
Qingyun swallowed her saliva, and she couldn't finish her words. She's in the back...... Enemies, enemies, ......"
"What the hell is going on?" Qingzhan heard the movement and immediately rushed over.
"No matter what happens, it doesn't matter as much as Your Majesty." Ji Xi didn't care about the information connected by Ji Xi, so he went to boil the medicine with it. Nothing was more important to her than to cure Her Majesty, who was now in complete chaos.
Qingzhan, who stayed in her place, immediately tried to find a way to pull out the current situation from Qingyun, who was already panicking. If it was just an enemy, Qingyun should have been mentally prepared and would not be so flustered. Only if something more terrible could have happened. What could it be? Damn, there are too few clues.
"Qingyun, calm down. Now only you know what really happened. You have to tell us. First try taking a deep breath. Qingzhan was sweating profusely, but she couldn't force Qingyun, if that happened, the other party would only lose the power of words more and more because of nervousness and fear.
Qingyun took a deep breath desperately, she also knew that the situation was very urgent, and if the people in the room were not aware of the danger of the current situation, then it would be troublesome. But she was really frightened, and she couldn't even say a complete sentence at this time. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't calm down.
"It still doesn't seem to work. Yunlan went to ask for some soothing tea. After drinking the soothing tea, Qingyun's pale face finally improved, but it was still not enough.
Qingzhan thought for a moment and suddenly changed the subject. "Qingyun, you think about something else first, divert your attention. For example, Your Majesty. Speaking of which, I know about Your Majesty's request for your help in storing wine. ”
"I've just hidden an altar." Qingyun shouted this sentence and finally returned to normal. She spoke up quickly and immediately. "It's surrounded outside. It's not the Hall of Eternal Life, the whole palace is full of enemies. ”
"What, what's going on?" Qingzhan only felt chills all over her body when she heard this. "Is the city broken?"
"No, it won't. The traitors are at least one day away from Shangjing, and it is absolutely impossible for them to attack Shangjing, which has a garrison of 100,000 troops, right now. A hoarse voice interjected.
Qingzhan turned her head away. "Lord Lu."
Lu Shushen's appearance was not much better than Qingyun, her right hand was still injured, and it was drenched in blood. "Let me in first."
"Yu Yan, come here. Lord Lu was injured. Qingzhan looked at the wound and felt dizzy. The wound was too deep, it was a knife wound, and sure enough, they met the enemy.
"No problem, the most important thing now is Your Majesty. Qingyun, where's Your Majesty's medicine? Lu Shushen stopped Qingzhan, completely ignoring the wound on her hand, and asked urgently.
"Ji Xi has already taken it to boil. Lord Lu, the wound on your arm is still bleeding, this will not work. I'd better call Yu Yan. Qingzhan said nervously.
"No need. Forget it, that's not good. Don't call Yu Yan to come, just go get the medicine box and bandage me with it. Lu Shushen finally compromised. No matter what she wanted, it was not appropriate to go to His Majesty in such an embarrassment. "How is Your Majesty?"
Qingzhan hesitated for a moment, but still said directly. "Your Majesty is in a very bad condition. She doesn't recognize us anymore and keeps meowing. ”
"Meow?" Lu Shushen was puzzled for a moment, but immediately put the doubt behind her, now is not the time to dwell on this. She anxiously urged Qingyun, after all, she had to hurry to His Majesty's side.
"Lord Lu, what should I do? Where exactly did the enemy come from? The average Assassin could not have been so arrogant. And what about the officers who defended the city? Why don't you come to the rescue...... No! "Qingzhan thought about it herself." It's a family! ”
"I don't know." Lu Shushen sighed on her back. She really didn't know. Now that all the news has been cut off, if it is really the family, then the attack has come too suddenly, without a hint of warning.
If it is really a family, then the Lu family ...... Will the Lu family also be involved? That's why her power outside the palace is completely dumb. No, it can't be, if it were, she would have noticed something unusual.
It's not that she thinks that the Lu family will definitely not betray His Majesty and her, but that she has that self-confidence, and it is impossible for anyone to hide it from her eyes. What she firmly believes in is His Majesty's vision. She would never let go of the slightest trace that might hurt His Majesty. But she didn't notice even the slightest sign.
This means that it was a sudden inspiration. It is not a preparation for accumulation. That said, there's room for buffering.
Lu Shushen immediately thought of the defenders that Qingzhan had just mentioned. "General Bai, who is defending the city, must be notified. If he brought the army, then this group of assassins in the palace should be able to solve it quickly. As for the follow-up, just put martial law on the city before the enemy reacts. ”
"But who can pass through so many enemies and inform the defenders?" Qingzhan knew it was the best choice. But the question is the candidate. It's just that Lu Shushen, who is the most capable among them, almost can't come back, and the rest of them can't succeed.
"Go find General Jiang Ying." Lu Shushen clenched her fists. She couldn't. She couldn't do it yet. Why, would you be so angry with yourself? Even though she knew that this was not within her ability, she still felt sincerely unwilling.
Suppress this childish willfulness for the time being. Lu Shushen, Qingzhan and the others began to discuss how to inform Jiang Ying. At this time, the battle was still very fierce, and Jiang Ying, who was the center of the battle, was surrounded by enemies like Shura Field.
A half-person like Lu Shushen probably can't even get close to the outermost circle.
But can't wait. If the enemy reacts and makes a well-thought-out plan, then they have no chance of winning at all. Worse is the condition of His Majesty.
