Tantai Tranquility is sick, I don't know if there is a little wind chill these days.

On the sixth day after they occupied Danyang City, Guo Changfeng came to the door of the empress's house with a stack of military reports and soldiers' casualty books.

"Your Majesty, we should take an inventory of the soldiers' armaments and food and grass, so that we know when we should attack Lijing City, the soldiers will soon run out of food in the city, and winter has come, we can't be trapped in Danyang City and remain motionless. ”

The empress looked at her daughter on the bed, and the girl's originally plump peach face was now flushed with a sickly red.

This illness is not like an ordinary wind and cold, and the doctor has several doses of medicine to no avail, she gently brushed her fingers over her daughter's forehead, and suddenly felt that her daughter's hair has grown a lot longer than before, but unfortunately she has not had time to take care of her.

may say that since she gave birth to her, she has never taken care of anything for her, and it has always been the palace maid who dresses up her daughter, and finally brings it to herself beautifully.

There is no mother in the world who has failed more than herself.

"General, I've seen all the numbers in your hands, and I know how terrifying the casualties are this time, take it away. She said so, but her eyes never took her eyes off her daughter's face.

The man frowned: "Your Majesty the Empress, the soldiers of the Yin Kingdom eat a lot of food, and there are many of them, and the residents of Danyang City have to take out the food for the winter to entertain them, and ......"

The empress interrupted him: "I know, take the military report to me, maybe leave it to someone else to deal with, like Shi Jiaheng or something, oh my God......"

"General Shi died, and was shot into a hornet's nest by the rain of arrows from the Danyang cavalry. Guo Changfeng reminded her, "And Cao Nan was seriously injured, and now he is still lying on the bed and can't move, and his leg was cut off by the cavalry." ”

The Empress nodded nonchalantly, as if the casualties of the soldiers were insignificant to her, and her daughter's face was so pale.

She touched her forehead, her head was very hot, but her feet were as cold as ice, and the most strange thing was that there was a dull blood clot on her daughter's neck, which seemed to be seared into her veins, like thousands of blood strands wriggling on her neck, making people shudder.

The doctors accompanying the army can't deal with such a strange illness, maybe they have to let the doctors in Lijing City come to see, and they can only use the qi machine to seal this strange blood clot and prevent it from continuing to spread towards his daughter's neck, maybe it can be delayed for a while.

Guo Changfeng saw that the empress had not been with him for a long time, and touched the scabbard on his waist a little overwhelmed: "Your Majesty the Empress, we still have a lot of military positions for you to decide, we need a new Pingzhou general to replace General Cao Nan's position, and General Shi Jiaheng he-"

"Summoning these things to Meng Yu and Chu Instantaneously to deal with. ”

"Yes...... We can't let the people of the Yin Kingdom appoint the military positions of soldiers, you are the empress of Shuyue!"

The empress turned around and stared at Guo Changfeng tightly, her voice like a sword unsheathed: "The empress of Shuyue?

”

Guo Changfeng was obviously taken aback by the empress's voice: "Yes, Your Majesty the empress, I mean ......"

"General Guo, I don't care who is the empress of Shuyue, my daughter is now lying here with a high fever and sickness, and I, the empress of Shuyue in your mouth, can't do anything! If someone can cure my daughter's illness for me now, even if I give up the throne of Shuyue, I will be very happy, do you understand?

The empress shouted a little irrationally, Guo Changfeng lowered his head: "I understand your mood at this time, but there are some things we can't wait, Her Royal Highness the princess's body is important...... But the soldiers who died in battle, some of them are still lying on the battlefield—"

"I'll deal with this, thank you General Guo. ”

The two turned their heads to look at the aisle at the door, and found Chu Xianzhao standing at the door, looking straight at the two of them, the empress recalled the way she was shouting just now, lowered her head, her face was a little red, she slowly sat on the edge of the bed with her support for the bedpost, and felt that her head was very sore, since her daughter was sick, she hadn't fallen asleep for almost two days, and her head had been hurting.

Chu Xianzhao walked straight in and glanced at Guo Changfeng, the man took a step forward and passed by Chu Xianzhao, Chu Xianzhao said to him before leaving: "Regarding the military position, I will talk to you later." ”

"Yes, Lord III. ”

The man saluted the two of them and disappeared into the aisle, Chu instantly summoned the sword at his waist and put it on the table, neither near nor far away, but comforted him softly: "Aunt Ning, why are you so troubled? It's my fault, it's because I'm a little quiet that I have a fever, if you want to scold someone, then scold me." ”

Tai Ning Su has always felt that Chu Xianzhao looks the most like Chu Xiaohua when he was young, except that his eyes are purple, the contours of his face are almost exactly the same as Chu Xiaohua, but there is an extra femininity on his face that Chu Xiaohua has never had, but this time, she seems to see Chu Xiaohua standing in front of him, with the same resolute look, as if even the taste on her body is the same.

"I don't blame you, I blame myself...... I'm taking care of my daughter right now, I'm going to take care of my daughter. ”

Tan Tai Ning Su held the princess's cold hand, Chu Xianzhao subconsciously bit his lip, and then relieved: "Xiao Ning will have someone to take care of, we need you to make decisions, many things need you to decide." ”

"I've made a decision, and I've destroyed all the Danyang cavalry I've ever been most proud of. ”

She remembered how painful she felt when she made this choice, after all this happened, why couldn't the city lord of Danyang City see the trick of Tantai Ninghua, he could obviously confess to himself before the war began, and he would forgive this former big brother, but his choice was war, and he gave him the result he wanted.

She held her daughter's palm, and between her fingers, she felt that her daughter's hand was so fragile and thin, like one

A delicate piece of porcelain shatters with a slight pinch.

She could feel the pain in her daughter's body, and she wanted to add it ten times more to herself, just to alleviate the pain on Tantai Tranquility.

Chu Xianzhao put his hand on her shoulder, and said in a soothing tone: "Aunt Ning, Xiao Ning will be fine, the doctor said that just let her rest well, we need to do more important things now." ”

"But I can't leave her now, she's only ten years old, what if I'm not there when she needs me?"

"Your soldiers need you. Chu Xianzhao replied to her with a hint of questioning, "You once said that you would capture Lijing City before winter, but now that it's winter, we can't stay any longer." And I don't know about your Shuyue situation at all, I don't know how to deal with these military situations at all, there are so many things piled up on me, I ......" Chu Xianzhao suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was not his sister or Su Nianyu, not the woman who allowed him to show his weak side, but he still couldn't help biting his lip: "Aunt Ning, I need you, we all need you, but there are many things I can't do alone." ”

Tantai Ningsu glanced up at the young man, she suddenly remembered that Chu Xianzhao was only seventeen years old this year, the same age as when Chu Xiaohua left her, and the irony was that now his son was marching west with himself in order to regain the throne he had lost.

At the same time, there was a trace of crows from the side of the bed, this sound made Tantai Ningsu tremble, Chu Xuan called the window and said softly: "It's the crows, how can there be so many crows here?"

The crows' voices grew louder and louder, and from them stood by the window came a cold cry that was full of despair and chilling.

This kind of cry made Tantai Ningsu feel frightened, and she suddenly felt the cold brought by the sound of crows, and this sound echoed in her mind endlessly.

Now her only child is bedridden, her cutest little princess, when she was a child, every day when she asked herself to say goodbye, she would pick up her skirt and ask herself if she was cute, but her little sweetheart was lying on the sickbed, and after witnessing so many soldiers dying in front of her, she was very afraid that the bad luck of death would befall her child, and she would never hear her daughter's laughter for the rest of her life, such a life would make her crazy.

She couldn't stop crying, and kept waving at the crows outside the window, and covered her ear with her other hand: "Kill them, let them stop screaming, kill them all! ”

Chu Xianzhao walked quickly to the window and closed the window, which seemed to cut off the crow's cry.

He listened to the sound of crows flapping their wings in the air, and frowned, and the crows had descended, which was not a good sign.

He turned around and helped the Empress of Shuyue who fell to the ground, the Empress grabbed his slightly strong arms, and Chu Xianzhao put a hand on her back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, she will be fine, I promise you." He said softly, "Take a good rest, I heard that you haven't slept since she was sick, you."

Breaks are needed. ”

"I can't rest, what if I'm not there when she wakes up. ”

Tantai Ning Su sobbed: "Instant call, please, let me stay here...... In case, in case ......" She seemed to be able to hear the crows chirping outside the window, and she wanted to cover her ears again: "I can still hear the sounds, kill them all!"

"Sleep for a while, you can't hear when you fall asleep. ”

Chu Xianzhao pressed her on the wide chair beside her, "I still have something to deal with, I'...... Do you smell a burning smell?" Chu Xianzhao suddenly asked, his expression became nervous, and Tang Tai Ning Su was stunned for a moment, pushed open the window again, and found that all the crows just now had disappeared, replaced by the sound of firewood crackling and burning, and her face turned pale, "It's on fire, that tower is on fire!"

She subconsciously thought of her daughter on the bed, the little princess coughed lightly because she smelled the smoke coming from not far away, and she looked more and more haggard, and her heart was broken when she looked at her daughter, "Hurry up and save my daughter, hurry up and summon it instantly." ”

Chu Xianzhao ignored her shout, but looked at the tower not far away and muttered, "It's a fire, don't you stay here and don't go?"

The young man picked up the long sword on the table, disappeared in front of him, and went straight to the burning tower, the empress thought to herself that her daughter was finally safe, how could the fire not spread like this, "Thank the heavens": "She muttered softly, she listened to the shouts and screams, the sound of soldiers carrying wooden barrels and splashing water, and in the midst of such sounds, it was not long before everything fell silent.

She finally closed the window, the fire gradually weakened, remembering the appearance of these days, only made her feel extremely ashamed, she felt that she had failed everyone's expectations, and that such a thing would not happen a second time, she said to herself secretly in her heart.

When she turned, she saw a man in a black robe in the room, and he approached the quiet bed, the man was not tall, his face was hidden by the hood, and he held a dagger glowing red in his hand.

"I would like to present you with a generous gift from His Majesty the Emperor, Tantai Ningsu. ”

The man muttered gloomily, and Tai Ning Su looked at the knife in his hand, and the next sentence was stuck in his throat and couldn't spit out, and now there was only an extremely faint whisper: "No...... No...... Don't!"

"You shouldn't have come back to Shuyue, and she's useless. ”

After the man finished speaking, he suddenly stabbed the dagger at the bed, but the empress was faster than him, and the dagger finally pierced into the empress's arm, blood splashed half of the man's face, and the empress's voice finally returned, "No, don't do this, I won't allow you to hurt my daughter! ”

The man quickly pulled out the second dagger from his waist, but the empress stretched out her other hand and grabbed his throat, withdrawing the blade that was about to approach his throat, for a while she actually forgot to use Wang Xi, so she had to use brute force to stop the man's movements, she opened her mouth and bit the man's shoulder fiercely!

man

There was a painful choking in her mouth, and she actually tore a piece of flesh from his shoulder, her mouth was full of blood, and she spit out the dead meat, and then she screamed, and the man immediately covered her mouth and scuffled with her, and he grabbed her neck with both hands, as if he was going to strangle himself.

At this time, Tantai Ning Su saw a red dress rushing in from outside the door, and slapped the man's body, countless red threads drilled out of the man's chest, and the hot blood pounced on his face, like a burst of warm rain, the man's screams lasted less than a moment, and Zhu Ziwei's palm became a blade and cut off his head.

When her vision finally regained consciousness, she saw the woman in red half-kneeling in front of her, and she suddenly realized "Thank you, thank you......" She muttered softly, her voice was too small and moist, and her palms couldn't stop trembling, but Zhu Ziwei poured a basin of cold water on her with a slight sentence: "Your Majesty the Empress, the Blood Python Gang is here, and they are attacking the gap in the East City Gate." ”

The empress looked at the headless corpse on the ground, and suddenly laughed hysterically.

Good! Good!

After you killed my mother, you are going to attack my daughter again.

Didn't you falsely claim to be the emperor of Shuyue, and I was a traitor to Shuyue?

If you ask for my daughter's life, I will punish you for the heart of a country!

The empress grabbed the halberd placed next to the bed, and the whole person turned into a pure white streamer and went straight away!

After Chu Xianzhao put out the fire, he received the news from the soldiers, and the joy on his face disappeared before he appeared, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Outside the city was a mighty black-robed cavalry, who were not wearing armor, but wearing all black robes, and the head of the python was traced in blood on their chests.

Chu Xianzhao suddenly gasped, and there were at least more than two thousand people in the black and oppressive picture in front of him.

Most of the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry is now unarmoured, and even the horses are in the stables, so they can't fight them at all.

And what really scared Chu Xianzhao was the few black flags that swaggered in the wind and rain.

In the carriage with black flags, Chu Xianzhao could clearly feel the rich qi contained in it, and on each carriage, there was a tall spearman wearing silver armor, and the armor on his body was painted with flowing clouds and silver patterns, which was very dazzling.

The white-armored silver spear is more invincible.
