Thick smoke billowed and enveloped the entire thirteen states of Yanglin. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Outside the city, stumps and severed arms can be seen everywhere. In the air, the heavy smell of blood was disgusting. The post-war picture is miserable.

Despite the heavy casualties, Tianze's soldiers had proud smiles on their bloodstained faces.

War is brutal, and it brings more death. However, through this war, they also saw a scene of unity between the army and the people. The whole country is united in their hearts, not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, and they are all working towards one belief. That feeling, it's really good. Even though everyone is bleeding, their hearts are warm.

I don't know what kind of wind the enemy is pumping again, and suddenly stopped the attack. However, although the enemy troops had withdrawn to their camps, they did not dare to slack off.

Almost all of the wounded soldiers gathered not far from the city gate, repairing and healing their wounds on the spot. The reason for this is that the enemy's wheel warfare consumes too much of their physical strength, and they really don't have the strength. Second, they are also just in case, if the enemy army suddenly attacks, they also have a preparation. Even the emperor killed the heavens, and did not return to the post house.

In the humble room on the upper floor of the city gate, Emperor Jitian leaned on his head and his eyes narrowed slightly. The pale color of his face silently spoke of his exhaustion. He had barely slept since the battle began. I stayed up like this, day by day, night by night.

Looking at such a tired king, Liu Minsheng was worried and relieved at the same time. The presence of such a king is a blessing for the subjects of Tianze.

At this moment, only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and the next moment, a feather arrow tied with a strip of cloth was inserted into the desk in front of Emperor Jitian.

Liu Minsheng looked frightened, looked outside, and closed the window.

"The king atonements, it is the lower officials who do not guard well that the thieves have a chance." Seeing that the emperor had woken up, Liu Minsheng immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty. It's a good thing it's just a feathered arrow to deliver a message, and if it's headed for the king, it's not... The consequences are unimaginable.

In fact, it can only be said that Liu Minsheng is too worried, if he goes towards the Emperor Killing Heaven, it is impossible for the Emperor Killing Heaven to let it fall.

Stretched out his hand, took off the tied strip of cloth, and slowly opened it, and the emperor's face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Although I don't know whether the person who sent the letter is friend or foe, but looking at the face of the king, it is probably not good news.

"Queen Mother, missing."

I have been waiting by the king's side for the past few days, and this is the first time I have heard the king say a complete sentence. It is rumored that the king is a great dutiful son, but now it seems to be true. Otherwise, the king would not be so abnormal. Everyone knows that the king is a man who will not frown in front of a million enemy troops.

"The Queen Mother?" At this juncture, the Queen Mother is missing. I'm afraid that's not a good sign...

Emperor Jitian's eyebrows were tight, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly understood the ill-intentioned smile of the black-clothed man Ming Jin when he withdrew his troops today. Presumably, he already knew about it, or maybe he did it? In any case, the queen mother must not be fine.

But now that he has no skills, he can't investigate it himself. On one side is the world, and on the other side is his biological mother. For the first time, he felt the difficulty.

"Enlighten the king, the enemy army has sent a messenger to present a letter to the king."

The man in black?

Damn, it's sent at this time, presumably ...

Emperor Jitian nodded to Liu Minsheng, and Liu Minsheng immediately went down and took the letter and presented it to Emperor Jitian.

Holding this envelope, Emperor Jitian had this feeling of fear for the first time. It's just a piece of paper, it's so light, with a little force, it can be shattered. But at this moment, he felt as if he was being pressed by a thousand pounds of boulders.

When the envelope was opened, an earring fell out of it. It was the queen mother's birthday last year, and he gave it to her, and the queen mother has always worn it and never left her body.

Really...

The heart trembled faintly a few times.

Liu Minsheng also saw his abnormality, and immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty? Are you alright? ”

The emperor came back to his senses and took out the letter.

"If you want your queen mother to live, outside the city tonight, exchange it with the Ling Tian Knife, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

He knew that the purpose of the man in black was not Tianze, what he was interested in was the Ling Tian Dao in his hand. If he could really exchange Ling Tiandao for his mother, he would be willing. It's just that he is worried that they will not let go of the queen mother so easily. Maybe there's a bigger conspiracy behind this.

But what to do?

The queen mother's life and death are unknown now, and tonight's appointment, he has to go, and he has to go if he doesn't go. Otherwise, it is unfilial!

Suddenly, the hand trembled, and the letter fell to the ground. Liu Minsheng immediately stepped forward, picked it up, and also saw what was written on the letter.

"Your Majesty, can't you go? Now the whole battle situation is all supported by you, in case something happens to you, Tianze is in danger, and the people are in danger! ”

What he said, how could the emperor not know about it. But now, he has no other way but to take one step at a time.

"It's decided."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Liu Minsheng's voice was mournful, and he had already knelt in front of Emperor Jitian.

"Let's go down." Emperor Jitian didn't look at him again, but slowly turned around. "Xuandugu Cinema comes in."

The king's command has been given, and he has nothing to do. Now, I only hope that Prime Minister Dugu can save the king's heart.

As night falls, black takes over the entire space. Whether it is the smoke of gunpowder or the flames of war, at this moment, they are all engulfed in the night. It is the most selfless, but also the most indifferent. Any filth and gore can be accepted, and all intrigue and killing can be ignored. When the light came, it waved its sleeves and left cleanly.

It's autumn, and the nights are a little cold.

The emperor was dressed in a robe and stood alone at the place agreed on the letter.

The breeze floated, but it didn't blow away the pungent smell of blood.
