Xin Zi was speechless for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She didn't want to lie to him, but she didn't want to watch him die in front of her.

"How do you know if you don't give it a try?"

Xin Zi said, and the powerlessness and sentimentality in his tone startled him.

Shi Erzhu's mouth opened even more, and dark red blood leaked out of his mouth.

He didn't bother to wipe it, but took out the previous wood carving from his chest with trembling hands and handed it to Xin Zi.

Xin Zi took the wood carving, her eyes were full of tears, and her vision was blurred.

"I'll give it to your sister in the house."

Xin Zi gave an illusory assurance—she wasn't even sure if she would be able to get out alive in this battle.

Shi Erzhu shook his head when he heard this, and murmured almost in a whisper: "Ah Zi, is it...... Send, send to your ......"

Xin Zi couldn't hear it really, leaned over, and wanted to ask again, but only felt that the body in his arms was soft, and there was no trace of brilliance on his face, which had always shown a shy smile to him.

Before there was time to grieve, there was a sound of rustling footsteps in my ears, and then two groups of soldiers lined up, blocking both ends of the alley.

"Don't come to the Tang Mansion unharmed?"

A familiar voice came to my ears.

Xin Zi thought that she would be timid, but in her heart, she only had the calmness of "what should come will come after all".

She raised her head and stared at Zhu Ciyi's seemingly kind but ruthless eyes.

Gaoxiang City has fallen?

Xin Zi thought in her heart, gently put down Shi Erzhu, and slowly stood up, never taking her eyes off Zhu Ciyi's face for a moment.

Zhu Ciyi couldn't help but be moved for a moment, and after a short period of distraction, he put on a smile again, and said calmly: "I didn't expect that in just half a year, Miss Xin has grown a lot. ”

Xin Zi had no intention of continuing this hypocritical conversation with him, the short knife in his hand tightened, he half-squatted down, and said hatefully: "Don't talk nonsense, just let the horse come." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ciyi laughed out loud, his eyes full of disdain when he saw the little milk cat he kept at home raising his front paws and waving it to make a look of wanting to hurt himself.

He raised a hand and motioned to Wei Ming, who was standing behind him, "Grab her." Remember, don't hurt her in the slightest, I want every drop of blood from her body to be sent back to Dongyuan intact. ”

Wei Ming stood behind Zhu Ciyi, his eyes flickering a little.

Zhu Ciyi turned his head and glanced at him, frightened him, came back to his senses, and panicked and ordered the soldiers behind him to come forward and surround Xin Zituan.

Xin Ziding stood still, ready to fight to the death.

A figure floated from the wall, blocking between her and Zhu Ciyi and her party.

The corners of Zhu Ciyi's mouth twitched, and he no longer had the composure he had when facing Xin Zi alone.

"Zuo Qiyang ......"

He gritted his teeth in hatred and squeezed the name out between his teeth, as if the person in front of him had a hatred for himself.

Xin Zi's eyes were also full of doubts, and just as she was about to ask, she saw Xing Fu following Zuo Qiyang and landing beside her from the wall.

"Escort Xin Zi away."

Zuo Qiyang's voice was calm but unquestionable, and he drew his sword and crossed between the three of them and Zhu Ciyi.

Xing Fu nodded, pulled Xin Zi and slipped in through the corner door of the Cuizhu Garden on the side.

Seeing the duck flying away in his mouth, Zhu Ciyi was not disappointed, he even stood there and quietly watched Xin Zi leave, only then turned his head to catch up with the "old friend" in front of him who had not been seen for a long time.

"Gao Xiang has been surrounded by the king's people." Zhu Ciyi said calmly, looking at Zuo Qiyang's eyes full of pride as a winner.

"I know." Zuo Qiyang replied briefly, his body motionless like a mountain.

"Yan Wudauntless people are blocked outside by this king, and it is impossible for them to come in and help you." Zhu Ciyi thought that he didn't understand what he meant, and patiently explained.

Zuo Qiyang nodded, hooked the corners of his mouth, and repeated: "I know." ”

Such a calm reply was obviously not what Zhu Ciyi wanted to see, he was slightly impatient, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Ciyong has always been timid and afraid, and he did not dare to go against this king, let alone openly declare war with Dongyuan. Do you think that if you take control of their crown prince, you can fight against this king? Yan Ciyong's men and horses secretly transferred a few months ago have already attacked Gaoxiang - not on your side, but to unite with this king against Yan Wudaunt's group of private soldiers! ”

According to Zuo Qiyang's strategy, Yan Wuxing's soldiers who stayed in Longwei Valley successfully evacuated the people north of Gaoxiang and south of the Longji Mountain Range, during which he and Zhu Ciyi's men and horses were circling in the mountains, and with very few losses, he consumed tens of thousands of elite soldiers, not to mention, because he won the hearts of the people, recruited thousands of strong men along the way, and at the foot of Niutou Mountain, the team was much stronger than when he set off from Longwei Valley.

However, Zhu Ciyi's people left their hometowns and traveled a long distance to the hinterland of the West to wait for work, even if they still had an advantage in numbers, they were far from being able to compete with the Yan family army in terms of momentum.

Under such a situation, although it will not be a complete victory, it will be easy for a fearless person to block Zhu Ciyi's people north of Niutou Mountain and not to attack.

But who would have thought that Rao was in such a good situation, but Emperor Yan, who was originally guarding the palace, still couldn't see the situation clearly, and couldn't tell the enemy from me, so he actually sent Gaoxiang to Gaoxiang, who was secretly dispatched to Xijing because he was afraid of the West Palace.

defected on the verge of battle, even ignoring the love between father and son. Such Yan Ciyong, even if he is as close as Yan Xiye, Zuo Qiyang and others, would never have expected it.

Fortunately, Yan Wuxing had arranged in advance the 2,000 men and horses in the west of Gaoxiang to resist to the death, and when Yan Ciyong's royal soldiers and horses attacked Gaoxiang, Zuo Qiyang had already led people over, and Gaoxiang was not razed to the ground overnight.

But after all, it is the enemy on the back and abdomen, and no one dares to guarantee how long his own people can resist.

If the current situation continues, it is only a matter of time before Gaoxiang is completely captured by Zhu Ciyi's people.

Sooner or later, Xin Zi would fall into the hands of Zhu Ciyi, and the entire Yan family army would also be defeated.

And Yan Ciyong, who thought that he could keep the peace by blindly currying favor with Zhu Ciyi, would definitely not get the ending he wanted - with Zhu Ciyi's ambition, he would personally lead the western expedition at this time, that is, he was ready to win a big victory, and even take Xiyou in one fell swoop......

So at this moment, Zhu Ciyi mentioned Emperor Yan in front of Zuo Qiyang, just to catch his pain, so that he didn't even have the last bit of strength to disguise.

But when his words fell, he didn't see Zuo Qiyang's brows furrowed, but all he got was his sneer, and a sentence: "When did King Xin become so verbose?" Like a. (To be continued.) )
