The sound shook the sky, and the ground trembled.

Zhang Xiaopaw and the others trembled in their hearts.

"What sound?!" Wan Qiu Qingshen frowned and looked at the south where the voice came, but his vision was blocked by the tall city wall and he couldn't see anything, so he subconsciously asked.

"It could be the sound of rebels attacking the city and ramming the gates. Zhao Quan frowned and replied, but listening to his tone, it was obviously uncertain, because apart from this loud sound, there were no horns, war drums, and shouts of killing, and it didn't sound like the rebels were attacking the city.

Wan Qiuqing's body trembled when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Are the rebels already in the city?!"

When the rebels first attacked the city, they were in the deep well chamber, and due to the ban, they did not hear any sound or movement.

"Yes. Zhao Quanying said, "I arrived at the city at ten o'clock, and launched an attack for half an hour, and was beaten by the soldiers defending the city, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops, and there was no movement." ”

Wan Qiuqing's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "No, it's not the sound of the car hitting the city gate, the car can't make such a big movement." The rebel soldiers are coming to the city, it is none other than the Duke of Wei - quick, go and inform your lordship!"

"Be careful!" Qi Changfeng suddenly said, "The Big Tooth people also have an extremely secret stronghold in our Yancheng, and there is also a star power sitting on it, so be careful that he suddenly attacks." ”

"What?!There is still a star power hidden?!" Wan Qiuqing exclaimed.

"Yes!" Qi Changfeng nodded with great certainty, but frowned: "It's just that that stronghold is extremely hidden, and there are only a few communications with this stronghold, so I don't know where that stronghold is hidden." ”

"Zhao Quan, do you hear that?" Wan Qiuqing asked.

"I hear you. Zhao Quan responded, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Qi Changfeng and looked at him curiously, because Qi Changfeng covered his face with a face towel, so he didn't recognize Qi Changfeng, he only felt that Qi Changfeng's figure seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it when he thought about it.

"If you hear it, don't you hurry up and inform your lord?!" Wan Qiuqing scolded.

"Yes!" Zhao Quan led the order and rushed away.

Wan Qiuqing ordered someone to go into the deep well secret room to save people, and many considerations were explained in detail one by one, and then he entered the Xue family's treasure house, found some rare pills that had not yet been moved, and temporarily suppressed and alleviated the bad internal injuries, and then flew to the top of the Heavenly Bell Tower with Qi Changfeng and Zhang Xiaopaw.

As an important military intelligence transmission tool in Yancheng, the Heavenly Bell Tower was under martial law when the war was brought together, and the entire Changhong Square was banned, and idlers were not allowed to approach half a step.

As soon as the figures of Wan Qiuqing and the three appeared in the sky, they immediately attracted the attention of the guards and issued a stern warning, but after Wan Qiuqing revealed his identity, the guards immediately let him go.

After the first battle of the Xue family in Wanqiu Qing, he has already become a celebrity in the army.

Many spectators on the tall buildings around them suddenly cast envious glances at Wan Qiuqing and the three of them on the Heavenly Bell Tower. Because the Heavenly Bell Tower is the tallest building in Yancheng, standing on it can have an unobstructed view of the entire Yancheng.

Some people were not convinced and argued with the guards why Wan Qiuqing could go to the heavenly bell tower, but they couldn't, but they were immediately warned by the guards who drew their swords unreasonably, and they could only leave in a huff.

The sky is clear and the view is excellent.

As soon as he climbed the heavenly bell tower and looked to the south, Zhang Xiaopaw's heart couldn't help but beat, only to see the towering, tall, sturdy and heavy city gates of the five southern cities open.

The two huge doors, which looked like stone but not stone, and iron but not iron, fell outward to the ground and fell apart. I don't know what it was broken by.

A bunch of soldiers in armor gathered at the gate of the city, looking at the empty city gate at a loss, they had never thought about this sudden situation, and for a while they didn't know where to find something to plug this big hole.

Rumble!

There was another huge crashing sound that resounded through the sky, shaking the entire Nanling land trembling slightly.

The gates of the South Six Cities collapsed and fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes suddenly froze, his eyesight was excellent, he could see it clearly, and he clearly saw how the gates of the South Sixth City were broken, and at the same time, he also knew how the city gates of the South Five Cities were broken.

It was trampled by a handsome war horse in gold armor.

Zhang Xiaopu naturally didn't believe that a horse could break through the majestic and sturdy city gate, so his eyes immediately fell on the two on horseback.

The former is in silver armor and silver armor, dressed in white wind, holding the reins in one hand and a cold light sword in the other. Because his whole person was hidden in the armor, Zhang Xiaopu couldn't tell who it was, but he recognized the person behind the silver armor at a glance.

Dressed in a white suit, carrying a black sheath long sword, his right arm was empty, although he couldn't see his face, but the familiar figure Zhang Xiaopu recognized it as Zhou Jianlai at a glance.

Recognizing Zhou Jianlai, Zhang Xiaopu naturally knew who the silver-armored man driving the horse in front of him was, it was Wei Ziyan, the grandfather of the country. His old man slashed the stars with a sword, and it was naturally not a problem to break the two city gates.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but tighten his heart, clenched his fists, he didn't understand why Grandpa Guo wanted to do this, and he also wanted to bring Zhou Jian with him, isn't this trapping Zhou Jian out of injustice?

But thinking that the two of them were already masters and apprentices, they had nothing to say.

Zhang Xiaopaw's gaze extended to the south and landed outside the South Ten Cities, and the rebel army was in a strong formation, and there was no end in sight. The formidable siege equipment is already ready to be launched, and it will launch a brutal attack and bombardment on Yancheng with just a sound of drums.

Squeak –

A sharp and piercing sound sounded in the South Six Cities, and a signal flare pulled the tail of the piercing red smoke up dozens of feet into the air, and exploded in the air with a bang. As the flares lifted into the air, the war drums of the rebels outside the city suddenly sounded.

Obviously, this is a signal flare to report to the rebels.

Firelight, smoke, shouting and killing, screaming - South 6, South 7, South 8, South 9, South 10, the five cities suddenly broke out in chaos, and the city was chaotic for a moment, but immediately heavily armed soldiers came out to suppress the rebellion. Killed on the spot, without mercy.

"Who can stop Grandpa Guo?!" Seeing that Grandpa Guo was galloping on the main road of the Southern Seven Cities, and the soldiers who stepped forward to stop him couldn't even get close, and he was about to approach the city gate of the Southern Seven Cities, Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but feel anxious.

It is true that he and Zhou Jianlai's brotherhood have a deep relationship, but it does not mean that he will stand in the same camp as Zhou Jianlai without thinking, he respects Zhou Jianlai's choice, if he meets each other on the battlefield in the future, it is naturally best not to fight, if it is necessary to fight, then it will not be soft.

However, the best situation is that someone has come forward to stop Wei Guogong now, so there is still room for reversal.

Therefore, seeing Wei Guogong galloping across the country with one person and one horse, as if entering a no-man's land, Zhang Xiaopaw became more and more anxious in his heart.

"Why would Wei Guogong help the rebels?" Qi Changfeng was puzzled and muttered to himself, he thought he couldn't get an answer, but he didn't think about it but listened to Wanqiu Qingying

"Because the people behind the rebels are the remnants of the Great Wei Dynasty, they want to overthrow the Su Emperor and restore the Great Wei Dynasty." ”

"But—" Qi Changfeng frowned.

Wan Qiuqing knew why he frowned, and then said, "Listen to your master, sigh-" As she was speaking, she suddenly took a breath of cold air and raised her hand to gently raise her forehead.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Qi Changfeng asked with concern.

"It's fine. I just felt a dull pain in the forehead, probably because I was scraped by the strength during the battle. Wan Qiuqing said.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Xiaopaw saw the position where Wan Qiuqing was rubbing his hand, and lowered his head busily, looking at his nose and nose, pretending not to hear anything.

"Listen to your master, the reason why the grandfather broke open the gate of the imperial capital back then was because of righteousness, but there was also personal anger. Wan Qiuqing continued, and Zhang Xiaoshu and Qi Changfeng both pricked up their ears curiously, ready to listen to this unknown secret.

"At that time, Dayu was full of mourning, hunger, disease, plague, bandits and other natural disasters ** ravaged the world, there will be tens of thousands of people on the land of Dayu every day, even hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people died, but the east, west, north and south four anti-kings attacked the imperial capital together, all wanted to take the imperial capital and ascend the throne first, seeing that the war did not know how long it would last, and the Wei dynasty really had no room for survival, Wei Guogong resolutely decided, rather than bear the infamy of the world, open the gate of the imperial capital, and welcome the most powerful Su army into the city at that time. Then Emperor Su ascended the throne and pacified the war in Dayu with the momentum of wind and clouds. ”

"This is the righteousness of the grandfather of the country, which is really admirable. Wan Qiuqing couldn't help but praise him.

"Then what is personal anger?" Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but ask curiously.

At that time, the king of Wei was extravagant and promiscuous, and he heard that there was a little girl named Su Wanying in the right prime minister's family, who looked like the country and the country, and the country and the city, and the beauty was incomprehensible, so he was moved, regardless of the right minister's pleading, and issued a holy decree to recruit Su Wanying into the palace. But at that time, Su Wanying had a marriage contract, and her fiancé was Wei Guogong. And Wei Guogong and his childhood sweetheart have already made a lifelong love affair in private. When Wei Guogong heard the bad news, he broke into the palace overnight, but was stopped outside the palace of King Wei by the Ouchi guards. On the second day, Su Wanying was canonized as a concubine. The fiancée became a little lady overnight, do you say that Wei Guo is not angry?"

"Hey, this is a private anger!" Wan Qiuqing sighed, and then his tone changed, and he said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, there must be Su Wanying among the people in charge behind this rebel army, otherwise who in this world can invite the grandfather of the country who has already died of his heart? Not to mention let him repeat the scene when he opened the gate of the imperial capital." This move is tantamount to uncovering the bloody scar in his heart, and then digging a hole in the scar and pouring salt water into it, which is really murderous!"

"But why did Su Wanying raise the flag to rebel?" Qi Changfeng asked, "Just because she is the concubine of King Wei?" But this identity should probably be the painful memory she is most unwilling to recall in her life. ”

"I'm afraid only she knows about this question. Wan Qiuqing said.

Rumble!

Wei Ziyan was very fierce, and the gates of the Northern Seven Cities were broken.

An old monk wearing a robe and kind eyes appeared on the main road of the North Eight Cities, looked at Wei Ziyan who was galloping on a horse, said a Buddha name, and said loudly: "Grandpa Guo, this time will create boundless killing." Listen to the old man's advice, put down the butcher knife, and stop here. ”
