Chapter 114: The East Wind Blows the Fire Dragon (3)
"A group that doesn't take the life and death of ordinary people seriously doesn't even have the meaning of existing. www.biquge.info If this lord thinks that it is honorable to sacrifice for the Tuoba Valve, why don't you automatically ask Ying to go to his death and delay time for Jicheng? β
Seeing that the guy's face was bruised, I continued with satisfaction: "I am an outsider, and I will not interfere with your decisions, but I will not listen to your orders, so there is no need to yell at me. I, Wu Scale, listen to the eldest prince alone. Leave. Then he slammed the door without looking back. It seems that I heard some kind of scolding like "a river and lakes are so arrogant".
Ah, it turns out that they don't give much face to Jiancheng.
After a while, Jiancheng came out alone.
"What's wrong? You were kicked out? β
"Yes, thanks to you."
Above the tall building, the cool breeze hits, and the mood is exceptionally comfortable. Jiancheng continued: "Just now, did you see my mind and help me out of the siege? β
"It's not." I looked at him seriously and said solemnly, "I myself think that the war should not affect the people, and by the way, I dragged you into the water because you were unhappy." β
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I can't see that our Duan Sect Master will also love the world." Jiancheng leaned in close to me and whispered in my ear, "But you're really charming." You're already committing a crime, you know? "As he spoke, his breath tickled my ears.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I can't tell that you're already a veteran." I pretended to be calm and pushed him away, "Eldest prince, do you want to flirt with folk girls in broad daylight?" β
Also, in order to get the best marriage, he should have been trained a lot in this area.
I'm really a little uncomfortable in my heart.
Well, there should be more than that.
Jiancheng first changed the topic: "I said, you laughed at Tuoba Zhang so much just now, aren't you afraid that he will find someone to kill you?" β
"Kill me? Ha, are you kidding me? I really laughed this time, "It's that easy to kill Sect Master Duan?" β
"That's why I said you, you should be more careful. Killing people doesn't have to be high martial arts. Jiancheng frowned and tapped my forehead, "If only you could really listen to me." It's a pity that you are the bold Duan Sect Master. β
"I'm naturally not afraid, because you're by my side." I narrowed my eyes and grinned.
Jiancheng's expression became serious. He grabbed me by the shoulder: "Yes, I'm there for you." I'll protect you, I swear. So, Scales, don't leave me again, okay? β
Because of his sudden seriousness, my expression froze.
Then he kept his stiff body and hugged him into his arms: "Scales, I miss you, I really miss you." Don't leave me again, let me protect you. β
Protection...... Is it?
You've said that before.
You don't know that between us, it's no longer a relationship that can protect each other.
In this world, there may really be no one who can protect meγγγγγγ
Sure enough, Tuoba Zhang and they finally sent a group of people to die. Taking advantage of this time, Jicheng has been intensively carrying out the construction of city defense. Trenches were dug and walls were fortified, and pits were stumbling and ropes were made row after row. The night is deep, but from the high wall of Jicheng can still see a piece of scarlet under the hillside, the blur of vision makes the sense of smell more sensitive, I wonder if this piece of unjust soul can help the hegemony ambition of the Jicheng Tuoba valve?
"About tomorrow, there will be smoke here." Jiancheng walked from behind, put a robe on me in the evening breeze smelling of blood, and stood side by side with me, "What are you doing here alone?" Even though it's summer, it's still cold at night in the Northland. β
"I'm stargazing at night. Ah, what's the matter, are you done with those old men with Buddha's mouth and snake hearts? "I changed direction and leaned my back against the wall," what did they say? β
"You don't want to leave me alone, and you want to get information from me so easily? There is no such good thing in the world. "It looks like it's been devastated as well.
"Hey, you don't have a conscience when you say that. As the son-in-law of Tuoba Zhang, isn't it reasonable and obligatory for you to help Lao Taishan, what does it have to do with whether I leave you or not. As for revealing some information to me. I grinned, "Mr. Li is the most benevolent, and he is always willing to be helpful." What's more, you're still helping a rare beauty. β
Jiancheng is always so personable and gentlemanly when he laughs: "Okay, it's really a gentleman who treats each other for three days." It's been a few days, and you've become so slippery. In short, after all, Jicheng is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there is only one narrow slope leading to Jicheng on the high ground. The dragon cart wasn't able to get over that quickly. Tomorrow, they will set up an ambush outside the city, take advantage of the fire dragon car before they arrive, first use the high ground to attack the other party, take the other party by surprise, and win the initiative in this war. β
"That's what they came up with?" I sneered, "It's really worthy of those unjust souls who died for Tuoba Zhang." β
"Oh? What is the high opinion of the scales? Jiancheng's eyes moved slightly, "My doorman, you can help my son to marry Tuoba Valve smoothly." β
Naturally, I gave a roll of my eyes with a cold face.
Jiancheng seemed to be very satisfied: "Scales, I just said that you have become slippery, but in this regard, you are much more honest than before." β
Yes, because I know that I won't have a future with you, I am reluctant to let the reserve waste the present.
"So seriously, what is Sect Master Duan's opinion?"
I casually drew a saber and said while drawing on the battlements: "First of all, Jicheng is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, living on high ground, and the only way to access it is also a narrow slope, and the dragon car is large and very heavy, so it is not so fast to reach Jicheng. Therefore, this battle is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They know this very well, but the problem is that Yu Valve has won big victories one after another, the fire dragon car is unstoppable, and the enemy's morale is booming. So the best way now is to shrink into the city and stand still, Yu Valve has become more and more dependent on the fire dragon car. If the dragon car can't be reached, they will never attack the city easily. The so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, they exhaust me, so they are overcome. When the morale of the place is low, wait for the opportunity to make a surprise attack, and win or lose in one fell swoop. β
After saying that, I realized that Jiancheng was looking at me seriously with a smile on his face. What I just saidγγγγγγ Did he listen to it all?
Jiancheng responded: "Scales, you are so good-looking. β
After a pause, he said again: "It's worthy of scales, exactly the same as I thought, and it's really the same as what heroes see." "The beacon fire is set against the backdrop, and the eyes of the built are gentle and warm.
I think that the real thing that should be impressed by the three days is the completion.
"Then did you say that you moved the Tuoba Chapter? What is the final decision now? β
"Of course I moved, I'm his blue-eyed son-in-law."
"Oh."
"Scales, where are you going?"
"You don't care where I go. You take care of your Miss Tuoba, you son-in-law of the Tuoba valve. β
Sleepless nights.
The entire Jicheng City entered the highest state of alert, and worked all night on fortifications. As soon as dawn broke, Yu Valve's army had already arrived with billowing smoke and dust.
The morale is so high that he is not afraid of Tuoba Valve to wait for work.
As Jiancheng said, no matter how the enemy shouted and scolded under the city, no matter how ugly the enemy's shouting, the Tuoba valve always retreated into the city. Only when the opponent launched an attack, he fell from the city wall and continued to cower after driving away the soldiers who climbed the wall. After so many cycles, in the evening, although Yu Valve still shouted and scolded, it was not as vigorous as before.
Moreover, the summer in the north is hot and dry, and scolding and fighting in front of the city for a day is also extremely physically exhausting.
Yes, it was calm, and there was not even a tentative sneak attack. Sure enough, Yu Valve has become very dependent on the fire dragon car. Without the dragon car, their general attack will not begin. Looking down from the battlements, Yu Valve's army was encamped and patrolled, but it was not necessarily urgent.
On the other hand, up and down Jicheng, it is destined that I won't be able to sleep well tonight. Not to mention, Jiancheng has been arrested and discussed for more than an hour, but he has not returned. The hour had passed, but there was still noise outside the house, and the smoke of the beacon fire and wolf smoke flickered and dimmed, and it made my eyes hurt.
"Sister Wu, are you there?" There was a knock on the door outside the house, and the voice turned out to be Miss Tuoba Piaoxue.
After all, the room was lit up, and it was too much to pretend to be asleep in such a noisy environment.
So I tidied up a little and opened the door.
Miss Tuoba wore a tatin-colored dark silk satin skirt, a lotus-patterned gauze robe on the outside, and a pair of jade feet with only a pair of simple white brocade shoes were small and cute. Her hair was scattered, half of her bun was scattered, and she couldn't see what kind of hairstyle it was, and her small face was even more pitiful. Such a little girl with better skin than snow, weak bones and slender shape, dressed in a beautiful dress about to go to bed, took the initiative to knock on my door in the middle of the nightγγγγγγ
Did I strayed into the built room?
No, when she knocked on the door, she asked that "Sister Wu" was gone.
Ah, could it be that his fiancΓ©e caught rape in bed late at night?
While I was thinking nonsense, Tuoba Piaoxue spoke first: "Sister Wu, I'm really sorry for disturbing Piaoxue late at night." As he spoke, he bowed slightly.
This eldest lady is so polite, but it makes me feel that it is a bit rude to stop at the door and not say a word.
"It turned out to be Miss Tuoba's visit." I moved out of the way of the door so she could come in, "This is more revealing, please come in and sit down." "Although I want to pretend to be a doorman, I really can't say anything like "I am disappointed", "I am honored", and "I am full of brilliance".
The pampered lady did not show any displeasure at my attitude, at least not on her face, and she said softly, "Excuse me." Then he graciously went into the room and sat down at the table.
"Sister Wu, I can't sleep. If you want someone to talk to, you can only come to you. Tuoba Piaoxue took the hot tea I gave her and said a little shyly.
I was a little surprised: "What are you talking about Miss Tuoba, don't you have sisters?" β
She shook her head: "The age difference between my sister and me at home is too big, and besides, Piaoxue is not as capable as my sisters and can't help my father, so we γγγγγγ Not quite able to speak. I don't know why, but when I first saw Sister Wu, I felt kind. β
I don't want to delve into the details, such a family, fratricidal is the daily life, but the conflict between daughters has nothing to do with the struggle for inheritance rights, in the final analysis, it is just some broken things between the main house and the partial house.
I just laughed, I didn't speak.
Seeing that I was silent, Tuoba Piaoxue lowered her head, pinched her fingers, and changed the topic: "Sister Wu, you say, will Jicheng really be breached?" The voice was soft, a little shaky.
A boudoir lady who is only waiting to get married knows what she knows, but she only knows how to worry and worry, so I casually perfunctory her: "How come." You didn't see that Lord Tuoba's army was defending the city today, and it didn't give the other party a chance at all, and it will start to counterattack tomorrow. β
"Sister Wu, you don't have to comfort me." The girl shook her head vigorously when she heard this, "I know that all the cities in our Tuoba Lord's territory have been breached, and only our Jicheng is left. I heard that the other party has a weapon called the fire dragon car, and it was used to attack the city, and the city was broken for more than a day. I secretly went up to the city wall to see it during the day today, and the dragon car was not there, so we were barely able to hold it. Perhaps, the dragon car will arrive tomorrow? I've also heard, and I've heard that the other party still has the habit of slaughtering the city, slaughtering the city. Sister Wu, I'm really scared. The little face did not look ruddy against the candle flame, but even paler.
I really didn't expect that she knew a lot.
I smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Tuoba." Nothing to worry about. Isn't the eldest prince here, the siege of Jicheng will definitely be solved. Besides, take 10,000 steps back, the eldest prince is your future husband, even if I have a case, he will protect you and Lord Tuoba and get out of the way. β
Then, the little girl's face turned red uncontrollably. In the end, it is the little girl's skin.
The little girl bit her lip and pinched her fingers, a little nervous and embarrassed: "Sister Wu, you are reallyγγγγγγ "Oh, not denying it. It seems that the father and daughter are both interested in Jiancheng, and they are angry with each other and help each other.
"Okay, you see, Lord Tuoba and the eldest prince have been discussing so late, isn't it just so that you don't have to worry? Aren't you so careless about their hard work? β
"Yes. However, the father and Cheng γγγγγγ They worked so hard with Mr. Li, but I couldn't help with anything. The little girl pouted, "Piaoxue will always be so useless, unlike Sister Wu, who is shrewd and capable, and can share the worries of Master Li." β
"You're in a favor. There's always something that only you can do. I could see through the thoughts of this little girl's late night visit, and smiled disdainfully, but still followed her meaning and said, "Look, the night is so deep." Lord Tuoba, are they tired, maybe they are hungry? β
"Ah, Sister Wu, you are so smart. I can make them a late-night snack. Tuoba Piaoxue's purpose was finally achieved, she clapped her hands happily, and although the smile was fake, it was really moving, as if she smiled and the sky lit up. The young lady begged me to go to the kitchen with her to prepare supper. As for me, I knew that one of her purposes was here, but I was also trying to make some food for Jiancheng but I had no reason to send it to him, so I also half-pushed and half-agreed to her on the spot.
The rest of the time passed in a hurry and harmony in the hustle and bustle of the kitchen. Miss Tuoba Piaoxue obviously wanted to start with food, to please her father, and also to please Jian. But she could prepare her father's share well, but she didn't know what to do with the food that had been built, so she came to me. I made a few of my favorite pastries, put them on plates and boxes, and turned down the invitation of Tuoba Piaoxue to deliver supper.
"Miss Tuoba, you go to see your future husband, what am I going to do with you?" I kindly handed her the food box and waved to her, "Go back and get dressed, this supper will be cold in a while." β
