In the fifth year of Emperor Wu's heavenly blessing, that is, when Qingcheng was seventeen years old, the 500,000 troops of the former Qin State commander marched all the way south and approached Qingzhou, the barrier of Southern Qi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the safety of his family, Sima Nan sent his family to Jinling City. In Qingcheng's memory, this time was so gloomy that she absolutely didn't want to think about it again. Qingcheng and his mother had only arrived in Jinling for five days when they heard a battle report from the front that Qingzhou City had been lost on the second day of their departure. The 300,000 troops led by Sima Nan were stationed in Suiyuan City at this moment.

Qingcheng knew that Suiyuan was the gateway to Jinling, and if his father's 300,000 troops could not withstand the iron cavalry of Qianqin, then they would all be finished.

In the past few days, people in Jinling have been panicking. The shops in the streets were closed, and the streets were filled with idle, terrified people. They gathered in groups of three or five, anxiously inquiring about the battle situation ahead. But there has been no news of Suiyuan in the Yamen for a long time, so people have rumored that Jinling will be finished soon. The patrol guards on the street caught a few people who were spreading rumors, but that only added to the hearts of the people, who were even more convinced that Nanqi was doomed.

That night, Qingcheng was sitting in the house talking to Gui's sister-in-law, when suddenly there was a loud shout in the street. Qingcheng and they hurriedly ran to the yard, only to see that the direction of the south side of the royal street was full of red light, as if it was on fire. Because Yujie was very close to the place where they lived in Qingcheng, Sister-in-law Gui suspiciously felt that the fire would definitely burn to them in a while.

When Sister-in-law Gui was arguing, Sima Jian came back, and he told Sister-in-law Gui and Qingcheng to pack up their things quickly, and they were going to leave Jinling tonight.

"What's going on?" Qingcheng saw that the fourth brother Sima Jian's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"It was rumored everywhere on the street that my father's 300,000-strong army was wiped out, and Qianqin would come over tonight. They also said that even our lord had run away, so let's stay away for the time being. “

When Sister-in-law Gui heard this, she was even more convinced that the end had come, so she hurriedly ran back to the house and told Wu'er to pack her things quickly, and their family was about to flee.

"Is there any news from my father?" Qingcheng asked.

Sima Jian shook his head, "It's been three days, I'm afraid... Sima Jian couldn't go on, he endured his grief, told his sister to go and pack her things quickly, and turned around and went to his mother.

When Sima Jian entered, Mrs. Sima was still reciting scriptures in the brightly lit Antang. After listening to the news that her son told her, Mrs. Sima seemed unusually calm. She slowly raised her head, looked at the solemn Buddha, and only said one sentence: "Wronged! “

At this time, Jinling City was full of fugitives, some began to burn their shops, and others began to take advantage of the chaos to loot. For a time, the sound of cries, curses, and cries filled the sky over the entire Jinling.

When they got into the carriage and walked out into the street, the street was already surrounded by fleeing people. The gates were closed, and the guards guarding the city stood by the gates with weapons in their hands, not letting them leave the city. A few people were in a hurry and ran forward to reason with the soldiers, but they didn't agree and started fighting. The soldier was angry, and he slashed several troublemakers with his sword.

Suddenly, the front of the black city gate was stained red with blood, and the people were blocked by the guards behind the fence, and fell into deep despair. Sima Jian cut through the crowd and stepped forward to say something to one of the guards. The guard nodded, and led Sima Jian into the city wall.

Qingcheng and his mother anxiously waited for Sima Jian to come back, and after about a cup of tea, Sima Jian appeared in the carriage. He said that Suiyuan had been lost, and the former Qin army was about to attack Jinling City, and the general defending the city gave an order to close the city gate and not allow anyone to leave the city.

This is not good news for everyone. They knew that if they didn't leave now, when the Former Qin army came, they would immediately become prisoners or corpses. The crowd boiled again, and some young and strong people rushed up again to get out of the city.

But it was all in vain, and the guards raised their butcher's knives again, and more people died under the knives. Qingcheng suddenly felt that even if Qianqin didn't come, Jinling would be destroyed in the hands of his own people.

When the day was about to dawn, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Qingcheng and they returned home.

Sima Jian spent all day outside to inquire about the news, and hoped that the gatekeeper would let them out of the city. But General Chen, who was defending the city, told him solemnly that this was impossible. He couldn't have lost the entire Jinling for a few people. Sima Jian knew that no matter how many words he spoke, he went down the city tower in despair.

At this moment, the dust outside the city rose and the shouts shook the sky. I don't know who shouted: "Qianqin called." “

Sima Jian immediately ran up to the city, and he saw the black banner of the former Qin, and the majestic iron cavalry troops were roaring towards Jinling.

"Archers prepare! Get ready for battle! At the command of the commander of the city, all the soldiers immediately assembled in the tower, drew their bows and arrows, prepared their artillery stones and waited for the first attack.

Sima Jian's heart suddenly chuckled, and he hurried home to tell his mother and sister that he was going to live and die with Jinling. Mrs. Sima tearfully kowtowed to her son's three heads, and then threw herself into Qingcheng's arms and wept silently.

Are there eggs under the nest? Sima Jian seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of the country at this moment, without Nanqi, how would their Sima family deal with themselves?

This war was extremely tragic, the Former Qin army was too brave, and after the Southern Qi exhausted the last bow and arrow, they watched the Former Qin infantry army ascend the tower. The soldiers of the Southern Qi drew their scimitars on their waists and resisted to the death, but except for a few who were wounded and captured, the remaining 2,000 people were all killed.

Immediately after Sima Jian left home, he began to organize militias in the city. He is more familiar with Jinling City than others, he knows that Jinling City is densely packed with streets and alleys, the former Qin army is not familiar with the terrain here, if the city gate is captured, he can at least organize street battles, so as to delay time and wait for reinforcements.

But he didn't wait for the reinforcements to arrive, because Shangguan Yun, the former Qin State Division, had already led an army of 200,000 to intercept the Southern Qi reinforcements who rushed to the rescue. The battle between Sima Jian and Former Qin lasted until late at night, and he was not discouraged when he watched the brothers around him fall one by one. He held out for half an hour when his last companion fell, only to fall to the ground from exhaustion and serious injuries.

Hearing the shouts outside, Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, she was afraid. Without her brother's protection, she felt like a bird without wings, ready to be slaughtered at any moment. But in her fright, she remembered her mother and what her fourth brother had said to her when he was leaving.

He said that even if all the men of the Sima family died in battle, you still have to live, because you still have a mother to take care of.

Qingcheng immediately ran to find her mother, who told her that the former Qin had attacked and that they must flee immediately. Mrs. Sima didn't seem to hear her daughter's words at all at first, but when she finally came back to her senses, she just looked at Qingcheng very lovingly and nodded.

Qingcheng asked Sister-in-law Gui and Wu'er to take their luggage and hurriedly moved to the back door. However, at the moment when she was about to go out, Madame Sima seemed to change her mind, and she pushed out the other three and closed the door from the inside.

Qingcheng didn't know what her mother was going to do, so she shouted to her mother outside the door and asked her to open the door. But there was silence behind the door, and Madame Sima was no longer there. Qingcheng suddenly had a bad premonition, she left Gui's sister-in-law and Wu'er, and ran towards the gate. She ran to her mother's bedroom, but there was no one in it. She cried and ran all the way to the nunnery, but flames rose in the hermitage.

She rushed up and banged on the door regardless of her safety, but the fire was so great that she blocked it several times. Qingcheng had lost her mind at the moment, she cried and shouted, kicked the door hard, and the fire rushed to her hair.

Sister-in-law Gui hurriedly extinguished the fire with her baggage, hugged her with Wu'er, and dragged Qingcheng away from the fire. Qingcheng stared at the fire in the sky, and for the first time felt that there was nothing to love.

Outside the door, there was the sound of horses' hooves, followed by shouts in the front yard. A small group of Qiang soldiers had already come in, and Sister-in-law Gui desperately dragged Qingcheng to the back door. But the Qiang soldiers had already caught up with them. Sister-in-law Gui asked Wu'er to pull Qingcheng to go first and stop them herself.

The Qiang soldiers saw a woman rushing towards them with a wooden stick, and she raised her knife and dropped it, and she killed Gui's sister-in-law with one sword. When they saw two young women, they immediately gathered around. Wu'er nervously blocked in front of Qingcheng, who had lost his mind, trying to protect Miss.

The soldiers looked at Mai'er with contempt, a terrible grin coming out of their mouths. Qingcheng stared at these devils deadly, pushed Wu'er away and hit him headlong. She hit so suddenly that the soldiers were startled. Qingcheng slammed into one of the soldiers, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and slashed at the soldiers around him like crazy until she used up her last bit of strength.

The entire Sima Mansion fell into the sea of fire, and several soldiers immediately carried two young and beautiful women to the camp tent of Qianqin。。。。。。
