Entering the study of the dormitory, Ying Xuemei waved her hand left and right, and the two eunuchs walked out lightly.

"Gu Aiqing, do you still want to hide it from me?"

Gu Tiefang's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.

"The emperor forgives the sin, the non-minister deliberately concealed it, it is really-"

"It's really because I want to kill Yang Fengqing, so if I knew that Gu Xuzhang followed Yang Fengqing, I would blame you?!"

"The emperor forgives the sin, what Gu Xuzhang did has nothing to do with my Gu family, I will go back and tell the world to break off the father-son relationship with Gu Xuzhang!"

Gu Tiefang, who had his head on the slate, didn't see the smile in Ying Xuemei's eyes.

"No need, Gu Xuzhang is Gu Xuzhang, the Gu family is the Gu family, Gu Aiqing is Gu Aiqing, I understand very well. ”

Gu Tiefang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he was submissive.

"But now I want to see the letter that Gu Xuzhang passed on to you, and I won't miss a single one!"

"Huh?!this—this—"

"Send it in half an hour! If I find out that you have anything to hide, then Gu Aiqing is not Gu Aiqing. ”

Having said that, Gu Tiefang has to take it if he doesn't take it.

"Wechen will go back and get it. ”

"Well, go ahead, don't come back late. ”

"Yes. ”

Looking at Gu Tiefang, who was trotting out, Ying Xuemei showed half of her tongue.

"You can't blame me, you're stupid. ”

Pity Gu Tiefang, on weekdays, when he goes to the court, it takes an hour from the mansion to the palace.

At this time, the official who was walking out slowly saw a figure running by, panting and snorting.

"Alas—isn't that Prime Minister Gu?"

"Prime Minister Gu, what's wrong with you?"

"Prime Minister Gu—"

Gu Tiefang didn't have the heart to respond to them, ran out of the palace, and when he saw his guards, without a word of nonsense, he turned over a war horse and galloped towards the mansion, leaving his eyes on the ground.

......

"Your Majesty, that's all the letter from Gu Xuzhang. ”

Ying Xuemei looked at the letter on the table that was one of her arms high, and silently complained: "These?"

"Well, you go back. ”

"Huh? Yes. ”

Gu Tiecheng left with anxiety, he didn't see it, at the same time as his figure disappeared, Ying Xuemei, who had been calm, showed a cheerful smile.

Sit down in a chair and pick up the letter at the top.

Flipping through it, the smile on Ying Xuemei's face became even bigger: "The envelope hasn't been torn up yet, it turns out that it only arrived this morning, I'll take a look." ”

The smug smile belonging to the little girl quickly faded, and Ying Xuemei didn't know when she had raised her right hand to cover her forehead.

"Is Tiance's situation already so critical? No wonder Gu Tiefang would be willing to endure the danger of being impeached and retreat from Tiance. ”

Looking down, the expression inside changed rapidly, and the mouth slowly pursed. If someone hangs a bottle of vinegar on it, it will not fall.

"I'll just say, it turned out to be Xia Bing'er, hum!"

"It's really emotional, you ascend to Guangwu alone, and she guards the heavens for you. ”

"What she can do for you, so can I, I'm willing to give Guangwu to you!"

Ying Xuemei flipped through the letters one by one, her face was sunny for a while, gloomy for a while, and sad or joyless for a while.

......

"Young Master Shao, the horses have been fed and the dry food has been prepared. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

"Why did Shao Gongzi say this, it should be that the people of Qinchuan need to thank you. ”

Yang Fengqing was too lazy to be polite, so he hugged Qiu Zitong, who was dressed in flower clothes, and jumped on the horse.

"Let's go. ”

"Let's go!"

When Yang Fengqing and the others walked away, Beigong Yewang's smile gradually faded: "Who is this son? Shao Chenghao would obey his orders." ”

"It always feels familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen similar faces. ”

"Alas—I don't want to think about it, I still do my best to collect all the young men that Zhang Cheng can recruit and transfer them to Chiyuan City. ”

Although the light rain stopped, the mud on the road did not improve, and it was more difficult to walk than before.

From time to time, they would come across carriages that had been abandoned on the avenue, and the ruts were halfway into them.

"Childe, at our current speed, if we want to reach Chiyuan City, the fastest will be tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Hmm. ”

......

Quiet ancient city.

Because of the countdown to surrender hanging outside the city, the soldiers in the city had eaten, and when they came up sleepy, they either opened or closed their eyes, and stood lazily at the head of the wall.

Where Jin Yinshan and Liu Jieming passed, the soldiers hurriedly opened their eyes again.

The two looked at each other, but neither said anything.

They had a total of 40,000 subordinates, but except for the personal guards, the other subordinates were temporarily recruited after the fiasco of Tiance.

Coming here, they have been on alert for so long under high-intensity mental pressure, and they deserve some rest.

What's more, there is that flag hanging outside the city, and I think the Shangguan army should not attack before that deadline.

The two of them made a round, and when they saw that there was nothing unusual, they walked to the temporary residence not far from the city wall.

"General Liu, you have been following the general for a long time, when do you think the general will come?"

Liu Jieming's frozen face slowly thawed, and finally showed a helpless smile: "I don't know, because the general has always done things beyond the common sense I can imagine." ”

"Ahh

"Huh, what?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't understand how we were in such a good situation at that time, how it became like this. ”

"I just can't figure it out, forget it, don't think about it. Anyway, it's happened, and the general has finally returned. ”

"Well, yes, let's go, go to my yard and take a sips. ”

"Good. ”

But before the two of them had set foot in the courtyard, there was a deafening roar and a tremor of the earth from the side of the city wall.

"Kill—"

Neither of them was stunned or hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran towards the city wall.

"The Shangguan army has attacked the city! All the soldiers are heading to the city wall!"

"Hurry!"

When the two climbed the city wall, the city wall was littered with corpses.

Ladders in a row, one in a row, shook rhythmically against the wall.

At least half of the soldiers who were not dead retreated to the other side of the city wall, and many of them had dark marks under their feet.

The two of them came out vigorously, did not communicate, and at the same time drew their sabers, and one ran to the side.

Poof-

"Ahh

A shivering soldier standing in the middle of the passage was beheaded with a slash from the gold and silver flash, and his screams diverted the attention of all nearby soldiers.

Seeing Jin Yinshan stepping on a man wearing the same clothes as them, with blood on his body and face, they all screamed in fear.

"Ahhh

"Let me go, let me go back, please—"

"I don't want to die here, I'm still young, I'm not married yet. ”

Jin Yinshan was even more angry, threw the head in his hand at the screaming soldier, and rushed over with a knife.

Puff puff –

There were seven or eight sounds, and each of them was hacked to death with a knife. The soldiers would not sit still and try to flee to the other side, but the gold and silver flashed not only with swords but also with bows and arrows.

Phew-

Poof-

"Ahh

The soldiers who did not come forward to kill the enemy finally collapsed, threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground.

"The general spares his life, we really don't want to die. ”

"Leave us alone, we will not forget your great kindness. ”

"I am the only son in the family, I can't die, I must not die. ”

Phew-

Poof-

"Uh-"

The man, who shouted that he was the only son in the family, was shot through the neck with an arrow.

He didn't die immediately, blood spurted from the wound in his neck, and a snorting sound came as he gasped.

The eyes were widened, one hand around the neck, and the other hand stretched out to the left and right.

Everyone he saw quickly turned his face.

It is also for this reason that all the shouting soldiers are silent.

"I don't want to die either, so whoever wants me to die, I'll let him die first! Get up for General Ben, lift all the ladders, throw stones and pour boiling water under the ladders!

"Ahhhh

"Woo-father-"

"Mother, the child can't go back!"

Everyone shouted differently, but everyone picked up their fallen weapons and rushed to the wall.

Jin Yinshan turned to look at Liu Jieming, Liu Jieming was also covered in blood, and he was already fighting the enemy over there.

"Hold on! The general has led a large army to us!"

"Yes!"

In the camp of the Shangguan army, a high platform built to observe the situation of the city wall, stood Zhong Qixi, Zhang Bu, and several Shangguan generals.

Finally, Qi Xi withdrew his gaze from the wall of Jing Ancient City, where everything was going well, and looked at Zhang Bu, who was still looking at Jing Ancient City.

"If the ancient city of Jing is captured, General Zhang will have the greatest credit. ”

Zhang Bu looked away from Jing Gucheng and looked at Shang Zhong Qixi: "Thank you for your love." ”

"Hahaha - it doesn't matter if you raise love, it's just that there are capable people living in it. General Qiang and General Pi, you each lead 20,000 soldiers to attack the East Gate and the West Gate, and within an hour, you must take Jing Ancient City!"

"Yes!"

In between killing the enemy, Liu Jieming and Jin Yinshan both saw the latest movements of Shangguan Jun, and the two only felt a burst of despair.

The 40,000 Shangguan troops were attacking the city, and almost all of their 40,000 people had been thrown into the south city gate, and there were only 1,000 people at the east and west city gates at this time.

"General Jin, you continue to guard here, and I will take 5,000 people to the East City Gate. At the West Gate, you send another general with 5,000 men. As long as we have one person alive, we must not let them break through the Jing Ancient City!"

After Liu Jieming finished shouting, he didn't wait for the gold and silver flashes to reply, and ran to the east city gate with thousands of people.

"Wenge!"

"The last general!"

A man who was not much different in age from Jin Yinshan wiped a handful of blood stains and ran from dozens of paces away.

"You lead 5,000 soldiers to the West City Gate, unless you die, you must not break it!"

"Yes, follow me!"

There were only more than 20,000 people left on the city wall at once, and the pressure increased greatly.

"Don't panic! We'll be able to hold on! When the time comes, the general will come back, and every one of us will be a general!"

I don't know if what Jin Yinshan said is true, but there is a thought and the combat power that can burst out without a thought must not be compared.

There are fewer people, but the defense line is more stable than before.

And this change, Zhong Qixi and Zhang Bu and others on the high platform of the Shangguan Army camp immediately noticed it.

"What's going on? Why are there fewer of them, but they're more courageous?"

"Someone must have promised glory and wealth. ”

"Glory and riches, isn't it?

Zhong Qixi's gaze kept falling on Zhang Bu's body, and Zhang Bu nodded.

"Well, I can go and try. ”

"Hahaha - if you can take Jing Ancient City, General Zhang will be the guard of Jing Ancient City in the future!"

"Thank you, Strategist. ”

Zhang Bu left the high platform, and a quarter of an hour later, Shangguan Daying rushed out single-handedly.

"Let the army retreat first. ”

"Yes. ”

Several horns sounded from the high platform, and the Shangguan army, which was fiercely attacking the city but had not made any progress, immediately retreated not far in front of the main camp.

A roar erupted from the ancient city of Jing, and Jin Yinshan stood in a hidden place, calmly looking out of the city.

Soon, his eyes were fixed on the figure who was running alone.

"General, who is that?"

"I don't know, let's see. ”

When he saw the person who was coming, the gold and silver flashed and felt bad.
