Chapter 507: Responsibility
It only took half a day for Chen Junhan to personally take people to Yitong City from receiving the news, and if it weren't for some things that had to be explained, he didn't even want to waste this half a day. He knew very well that even if he rushed to Yitong City day and night, waiting for him would probably be a ruin after the dust settled.
The fire in his heart kept burning so that he had to move forward non-stop, he couldn't watch Ning Xin be in danger and do nothing by himself, he just asked for luck and the blessing of the gods so that he could reach Yitong City before the worst happened.
"Grandma, a bear, how did this Yitong City become an iron wall, obviously the city wall is rotten and is about to fall, but it has not been laid for four days"
"Lao Tzu has to knock this place down this time, such a broken place has taken Lao Tzu's energy for so long to knock it down. Lao Tzu wants to see what else has not been used, and after the defeat, Lao Tzu has to burn down the city to relieve his heart."
"Niangniang, it's windy here, let's come down first." Xiuyu anxiously looked at the city under the city that had been baptized by war, and her calves twitched. She had never seen such a cruel picture, although there were many things in the palace that poured out the dead in the palace. At that time, she was still young, low-key and quiet to do her own thing, no matter who fights to the death, it is none of her business, there are so many capable people, no one can look down on Xiuyu who is still a little girl.
The seniors are fighting for the opportunity in front, and no one cares about her position. When Da finally grows up and can join the battlefield where the ancestors are fighting, the harem is calm and the world is peaceful.
Chen Junhan's harem is not only the most tranquil in Da Chen, but also the most tranquil in the harem of emperors in previous dynasties. Xiuyu grew up listening to the sinister stories of the harem, but when she grew up, the world was peaceful, and even the situation of the cane rarely appeared. She was lucky to be on an errand in Changle Palace, and she almost forgot that she was on an errand in the harem with the highest loss rate. Suddenly seeing such a bloody scene, even though Xiuyu had already passed the painful stage of vomiting at the beginning, she was still very unable to adapt to the bloody scene of a severed arm and stump.
"You go down and wait for me first, and I'll go down later." Ning Xin said comfortingly when she saw that Xiuyu's face was pale and she would faint at any time.
"It's a truce, and although it's scary to look at, it's not dangerous, and I can see anything going on when I'm standing so high. You're waiting for me down there, and if something really goes wrong, you'll have the strength to take me out immediately. ”
Ning Xin's last reason successfully persuaded Xiuyu that the queen mother had no power to say no to what she wanted to do.
When will the reinforcements arrive, Ning Xin looked at the increasingly unstable city walls and the battle-scorched city, and her heart was not as calm as she appeared. I don't know how long this city can be defended, maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, maybe the city will be broken this afternoon, after the city is broken, how the sergeants who are holding back their anger will treat the people of this city cruelly, she doesn't dare to think, at least from now it seems that they are holding their breath and planning to slaughter the city once the city is broken, and not a single person intends to stay in the posture, Ning Xin can't help but be anxious in her heart.
"We didn't expect to hold on for four days, and they probably went crazy."
"yes, we didn't think of it ourselves." Ning Xin heard Wei Shouzhi's familiar voice and knew that it was him behind him without looking back.
"Wait until you go back and follow Feiyan to take shelter for the time being, no matter what happens, don't come out." Wei Shouzhi walked up to Ning Xin and said gently.
"Everything is there, as long as you don't get caught and hide inside for five or six days, it's not a problem. Unless I'm looking for you, or reinforcements are coming, don't answer anyone who calls you."
"Is Cousin Shouzhi asking me to hide, Empress Da Chen is hiding in the dark basement or in the wall, watching my soldiers and people being killed and hiding indifferently" Ning Xin interrupted Wei Shouzhi's words, staring at her big eyes and every word was clear and loud.
"In my heart, you are not the queen of Da Chen, just my Lekang cousin, a cousin who grew up with me since I was a child and likes to stick to me."
Wei Shouzhi bent down slightly, looked at Ning Xin's eyes, and saw himself solemnly in her eyes.
"Cousin Shouzhi must ensure your safety, cousin must not let you get into danger, let you be trapped here to face the fight is already my cousin did not do a good job. So Lekang, you must grow old in peace and joy without worry. ”
Ning Xin's righteous and awe-inspiring words on the tip of her tongue could not be said under Wei Shouzhi's calm but hidden eyes of various suppressed tumbling emotions.
"Then, what about you, are you with me" Ning Xin said after taking a deep breath.
"I" Wei Shouzhi's tongue swam between the slightly opened lips and teeth, as if he was thinking about how to phrase it more securely.
"This time it may not be possible to stop their attack, and reinforcements should arrive in a few days." Wei Shouzhi saw that Ning Xin had something to say, and assured.
"If the situation is not for me, I will definitely take care of my own safety first, and I will not act impulsively, I promise."
Ning Xin looked at Wei Shouzhi, who looked like a big brother next door, and suddenly a wave of anger surged upward, and before it could come up, he was engulfed by a sour emotion that made people cry. Emotions without direction were rampaging in the chest, scurrying left and right to break through this layer of shackles, Ning Xin felt that the power of her eyes rushed into her eyes and suddenly wanted to cry.
"What kind of guarantee do you have, when you left, you promised me that you would come back to see me, and you would come back when I got married. I'll wait, wait, it's dark, you haven't arrived yet, I thought at that time, I don't want to believe what you say in the future. Ning Xin's tears rolled in her eyes.
"The Son of Heaven guards the country, the king is dead, the world is my people, this city is also my people, I should protect these people, and besides, they don't dare to do anything to me, at least I don't need to worry about my life." Ning Xin raised her chin and said.
"Don't tell me it's not that bad, I've been to the war in Linhai County. The walls were already shaky, and they would probably not be able to stand it for the next attack. ”
"My identity will be our only bargaining chip after the city is broken, and the only chance to protect the lives of the people in this city." Ning Xin never thought about hiding since she knew what situation she was facing, she always thought that rights and responsibilities were equal, and as a woman, she couldn't shroud her body in horse leather, at least she couldn't break her own integrity.
"The fire bottle you brought, the heavenly thunder is already their protection, otherwise how can this broken city wall support these days. The city should have been broken a few days ago, at least because the people of your city are still living in peace at this moment, and you have done a lot of good things. ”
Ning Xin wanted to say something, Wei Shouzhi suddenly took a step forward, and Ning Xin looked at him stubbornly.
"I" just said a word, a pain in my neck, a black eye, and the last picture is Wei Shouzhi's gentle face.
