In Princess Yan's courtyard, Nangong Mo sat on the edge of the bed and gently let go of the hand that was on Princess Yan's pulse, and then put Princess Yan's hand back into the quilt before getting up.

"Flawless, how is the third sister-in-law?"

Princess Changping asked with some concern. Nangong Mo shook his head and said: "Senior brother can contact the poison technique in my uncle's body if I prescribe medicine, but the toxicity of Broken Gut Powder is too domineering, and my aunt doesn't know martial arts, so I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up for a while." "And even if you wake up, you have to take care of your body for a long time.

Princess Changping breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Princess Changping was relieved, but Zhu Chuyu, Qin Zixu and the others who were standing on the side couldn't help frowning. It's a good thing that Princess Yan saved her life, but... Now Princess Yan is unconscious, but it's not a good thing. Nangong Mo looked at the two of them and said, "Brother and sister, Qin Gongzi, let's go outside and talk about it." ”

The two nodded, followed Nangong Mo and turned around and went out the door.

Sitting down in the flower hall outside, Qin Zixu frowned and said, "County Lord, can King Yan's reinforcements really feel it within three days?" Qin Zixu's unspoken concern was that he suspected that the city would not be able to defend for three days at all. Zhu Chuyu also has the same worries as Qin Zixu, although she also knows nothing about marching and fighting, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are blocking the way, and three days is only a little enough.

Nangong Mo said: "Whether you can wait for reinforcements in three days depends on your uncle's arrangement and the ability of the person leading the troops." As for whether we can stay for three days, it's up to us. ”

Zhu Chuyu frowned and said: "However, I planned to have my mother concubine come forward and call on the people in the city to defend the city together. But now that the mother concubine is in a coma, even the princess ......, "In the palace of King Yan, except for Princess Yan, no one has the ability to gather the people of the city." Even she and Nangong Mo can't, not because of their lack of ability, but because their identity is not enough. If the name is not right, it is not good.

Nangong Mo also sighed a little helplessly, the people in the city were not those generals, she couldn't put a knife on their necks and ask them to risk their lives to go up to the city tower to defend the city.

"I'll think about it first, at least I should be able to survive today."

Qin Zixu nodded helplessly, now there is indeed no other good way to think of it.

Back in her yard, Mama Lan greeted her with Zhishu Mingqin and two nurses. The nurse is still holding two small babies in her hands. The little baby, who had just been full moon, ate and slept without knowing anything, and had no idea what was going on in the city.

Nangong Mo reached out to hold the child, but took it back before his hands touched the baby. Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Nangong Mo smiled faintly and said, "I'm dirty, go wash up first." After saying that, he looked at the child and walked quickly towards the courtyard. The people behind her looked at her dusty clothes and looked at them at a loss: Where is it dirty?

Qu Lianxing, who followed behind, said with a smile: "The county lord just went to the city tower, where there are many people and miscellaneous, they are all those rough men in the army. The county lord is afraid that something will be touched by the little boy and the little lady, and the two little masters are still young. Mama Lan nodded and said with a smile: "The eldest lady has become a mother, and her heart is more detailed, it should be, the newborn child is still very careful." ”

After Nangong Mo washed up, he changed into clothes and went directly into the study with his still wet hair. Waving his hand to let the nurse go down, Nangong Mo hugged the two babies respectively, and then put them back in the cradle. While gently shaking the cradle, he asked, "What's the news outside the city?" ”

Qu Lianxing said softly: "I just received the news that Wei Gongzi has led 100,000 soldiers and horses in the direction of Youzhou. Presumably you will be able to reach Youzhou City soon. ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, Wei Junmo's subordinates are all young people, and the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers." But these soldiers and horses outside the city are all soldiers and horses who have followed Xie Li for many years and have been stationed in Youzhou for a long time. In terms of experience, it is by no means comparable to them. ”

Qu Lianxing smiled: "The county lord has no confidence in Wei Gongzi? ”

Nangong Mo forgot about her and smiled, "Theoretically, in fact... It still feels a little hanging. "It's not good to think about everything in a bad direction, but it's not okay to think about everything in a good direction. At least in this matter, Nangong Mo had to remind himself to be objective. Wei Junmo is no matter how powerful he is... The objective conditions are there, and he is not an immortal.

"If Wei Gongzi knew what the county lord said, he would be unhappy." Qu Lianxing covered her mouth and snickered.

Nangong Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud when he remembered that the deep purple eyes on someone's cold face were full of displeasure and the grievances of being questioned.

Leaned over and gently poked the baby's delicate cheeks, and the baby's white and tender little face was smooth and tender. Nangong Mo sighed and said, "Now that it's over, I can only hope that they can come back sooner." ”

The situation was a little better than they had imagined. Although there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses besieging near Youzhou, when Wei Junmo's 100,000 army approaches, it is naturally impossible for these soldiers and horses to leave their butts behind and ignore them, and they still blindly think about attacking the city. Therefore, less than two hours after the siege began, most of the soldiers and horses turned around and went in a direction contrary to Youzhou City. It made everyone who defended the city breathe a sigh of relief. But even so, it's not easy. At the end of the day, one of the most heavily attacked gates was nearly breached. In the end, it was Nangong Xu who led people to desperately push back the soldiers and horses besieging the city.

Nangong Xu can't practice martial arts, and all he knows is a few years of boxing and kicking that he learned before his body was broken. But on the battlefield, whether it is strength or endurance, it is far inferior to other generals or even ordinary soldiers. It's just that Xiao Qianchi, who doesn't like to learn martial arts, is better than him. However, he is worthy of being the son of Nangong Huai, and he was also taught by a famous teacher back then, arranging troops, and commanding the battlefield seems to be born with it. The first time I went up to the city tower to command the defense of the city, it was very easy, and I couldn't tell that this was a man who had never been in battle before

This is the work of a man who has never been on the battlefield. Even Xiao Qianjiong, who originally didn't trust him, was convinced by him.

Although Xiao Qianjiong has a rebellious personality, he doesn't look down on weak men. But for those who really have the ability, they really admire it. In his eyes, although Nangong Xu is a weak scholar, he can fight, so it is easy to say.

At night, the generals and the besieging soldiers and horses gradually retreated. The soldiers defending the city breathed a sigh of relief and rested against the battlements of the wall. Nangong Xu sat directly against the wall on the ground, and for most of the day, he tensed his nerves almost non-stop, commanding the city to defend him, making him exhausted. At this time, as soon as I relaxed, I couldn't help but feel a little black in front of my eyes.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Qianjiong stood on the side, supporting the wall buttress on one side with one hand, looked at Nangong Xu and asked.

Nangong Xu shook his head and didn't speak.

Xiao Qianjiong pursed his lips, he really couldn't understand how the son of Nangong Huai's generation of famous generals could be born such a waste material. However, remembering that he was defending the city today thanks to Nangong Xu, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Nangong Xu naturally understood what Xiao Qianjiong was thinking, but he really didn't have the strength to speak, not to mention, there was nothing to show off to others if he was injured and couldn't practice martial arts.

Xiao Qianjiong simply sat down and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite powerful, you really deserve to be my cousin's eldest brother." However, in the future, this son will definitely be more powerful than you. Nangong Xu tugged at the corners of his lips and said, "The third prince will naturally be better than me." Xiao Sangongzi turned his head away, snorted lightly and said in a low voice: "You don't need to compliment Ben Gongzi, Ben Gongzi admits that you are better than me now." Although he has no problem defeating three Nangong Xu alone, he has to admit that he is not as good as Nangong Xu in terms of command and operation on the battlefield. It's a little unwilling to think about it, he is a person who has followed his father to the battlefield, and he is not as good as a person who has never been on the battlefield without the strength of a chicken.

"You say, can we wait for my father and the king to send troops back?" Xiao Qianjiong couldn't help but ask. After all, he is still a sixteen-year-old child, and Xiao Qianjiong is still a little apprehensive in his heart.

After not waiting for Nangong Xu to reply, Xiao Qianjiong looked sideways angrily, but found that Nangong Xu didn't know when he had fallen asleep. Xiao Qianjiong gritted his teeth, but he still didn't disturb his sleep after all. The next day, the siege outside the city became more and more intense. When Nangong Mo took people up to the city tower, it was a break between the two sides resting, Nangong Xu, Xiao Qianchi, Xiao Qianjiong and others all had the exhaustion that could not be concealed and the smell of bloody gunpowder on the battlefield. Nangong Xu's eyes were bloodshot, but there was an unprecedented excitement and heroism on his face. Obviously, compared to obscurity or intrigue in Jinling City, Nangong Xu prefers to transfer troops on the battlefield and strategize.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Nangong Mo asked softly.

Looking at his sister's worried eyes, Nangong Xu shook his head and said softly: "Big brother is fine, don't worry, you will never let people enter the city within three days." ”

Nangong Mo took out a pill and handed it to Nangong Xudao: "Big brother, go and rest for a while." I'll keep watch here for a while. ”

Nangong Xu was about to excuse himself, Nangong Mo said: "I don't know anything about fighting, and now I can only rely on my eldest brother, if you fall, I really don't know what to do." Hearing this, the corners of Nangong Xu's lips moved, and he didn't know what complicated feelings were brewing in his eyes, so he said after a long time: "Okay." Don't be afraid. ”

Looking at Nangong Xu's back as he staggered away, Nangong Mo sighed slightly in his heart. Let's go back and ask the senior brother to take a look at the body of the eldest brother.

Although after knowing the truth of the year, Nangong Mo no longer had the original rejection and alienation from Nangong Xu, but even if Nangong Xu arrived in Youzhou, they still had no more closeness. Not to mention that they take care of each other like Qin Zixu and Qin Xi's brother and sister, worrying, they are almost dependent on each other. Even if I think the brother-sister relationship of ordinary people is still a little worse. After all, Nangong Mo came from a different background, and he didn't regard Nangong Xu as his own brother from the beginning, just because the original owner was unhappy. Second, it is impossible for years of estrangement to become harmonious because of the misunderstanding as if nothing had happened. Whether it is Nangong Mo or Nangong Xu, they are not enthusiastic and active people, so the relationship between the brother and sister is not salty and light.

But Nangong Mo understood in his heart that Nangong Xuken dragged his already weak body up to the city tower to help defend the city, definitely because of her sister. If it weren't for her, how could Nangong Xu not be able to save his life, and he wouldn't be born and die for the sake of Yan Wangfu, who had nothing to do with him and was not suspended.

"Cousin-in-law, what's wrong?" Seeing that her expression was a little solemn, Xiao Qianjiong leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Nangong Mo stretched out his hand and knocked on his head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, cheer up." Your cousin and your second brother will be back soon. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qianjiong was immediately shocked, "Cousin, they're coming back, that's great." ”

Qin Zixu, who was following Nangong Mo and stretched out his hand, looked at them and raised his eyebrows without speaking. However, Zhu Chuyu sighed a little and said: "I didn't expect that the eldest prince of Nangong is still a rare general." It was really buried in Jinling City. Thinking of this, Zhu Chuyu's mind was a little complicated. Nangong family can be regarded as a broken family now, but Nangong Hui has a father-in-law as a backer and has been trained in the army, and Nangong Xu showed several rare talents when he first went to the battlefield. It is conceivable that when King Yan returns, he will definitely entrust Nangong Xu with important tasks. Think about the big family of uncles and brothers in Jinling... A bunch of rubbish!

Xiao Qianjiong agreed with Zhu Chuyu's words, "Cousin-in-law, Brother Nangong is really powerful." I really can't tell that he has never been on the battlefield. ”

Nangong Mo smiled faintly and said, "Big brother is not in good health, otherwise he would have gone to the battlefield to experience it." ”

"I see, it's a shame." Xiao Qianjiong said with some regret.

"It's going to be a siege again!" Qin Zixu looked at the soldiers and horses outside the city and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Qianjiong looked back and suddenly jumped up, "These."

Already, "Are these people annoying?" The beating all day and night does not make people breathe. ”

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "The more anxious they are now, the more unsmooth the war in the rear is." ”

Xiao Qianjiong pouted, "What do they think?" Even if you occupy Youzhou City, what can you do? Is there a fart for being trapped in a lonely city? ”

Nangong Mo said: "Well, you have to ask the other party's generals." ”

At this time, Xiao Qianjiong was not the only one who was jumping, and the generals who were attacking the city on the other side were not much better. The generals led by General Chen also frowned deeply when they looked at the closed gate of Youzhou City. Originally, I thought that a small city with less than 10,000 defenders would not be difficult to break. But not to mention the strong and tall walls of Youzhou City, the people who defend the city are obviously not easy to mess with. All the gaps in the defense that can be broken through are blocked to death, not to mention, the other side has countless strange poisons, although it will not kill people, but a soldier on the battlefield is equivalent to attrition. Even if you survive, what's the use of not being able to fight?

In just over a day, they had already lost thousands of men. But the gate of Youzhou City is still strong without the slightest flaw.

"Aren't all the generals in Youzhou City who can fight there? Who is leading the troops in the city now? Could it be that the third son of King Yan is really that powerful? One of the generals couldn't help but complain. No wonder they are in a hurry, the news from the rear is extremely unfavorable for them. Wei Junmo led an army of 100,000 and kept crushing in the direction of Youzhou City. Wei Junmo's way of fighting is the same as his usual personality. No matter what the big or small city, those who stand in the way die. Whether it is a soldier or a general in the Youzhou Dusi battalion, they have more or less heard of the name of this indifferent noble son in his leisure time and the cold-blooded Shura on the battlefield. The less timid generals directly weakened their legs when they saw Wei Junmo, how can this battle be fought? There are also those personal soldiers under Wei Junmo and the soldiers and horses he personally trained, all of them are as ruthless as if they have been possessed by a fierce god on the battlefield. If you don't take Youzhou enough, it's hard to say how long it will take for Wei Junmo to be able to directly defeat them.

General Chen was also puzzled, "Surely the prince of Yan Wang will not die, then it can only be the third son?" "If the prince of Yan Wang had this original, he wouldn't be unable to hold down his two younger brothers.

"Anyway! Be sure to do your best to capture Youzhou City! ”

"Not bad!"

The noise on the battlefield sounded again, and the soldiers and horses under the city desperately tried to climb up. The defenders on the tower of the castle fought back the enemy who wanted to climb the top of the castle. The long ladder for the siege was poured with oil, and some people even cut it directly with a knife. If you are not careful, you will be shot by the feather arrows that occasionally shoot at the head of the city, and you will turn to the lower head of the city.

There was a heavy crash at the gates, and soldiers were covered carrying heavy logs against the gates. Xiao Qianjiong's young face was full of solemnity at this time, and he waved his arm and pointed at the city wall, "Release the arrow!" ”

I watched a soldier climb up the tower while the guards were empty. Zhu Chuyu, who was standing beside Qin Zixu, couldn't help but want to exclaim, but he still raised his hand to cover his mouth and forcibly endured it. A blue-clothed figure floated in front of him, and a silver light appeared in between, and the soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city had already fallen down from the city again before he could see the person in front of him clearly. Nangong Mo stood on the city wall and waved his hand to cut the long ladder below.

"Star danger, Liu Han."

"County Lord." Xingwei and Liu Han appeared behind Nangong Mo in neat suits. Nangong Mo raised his hand and pointed to the place where the flag fluttered in the distance below the city tower, and said, "At this distance, can you kill someone?" ”

Xingwei looked at it, his face was indifferent, "It's too far, it's okay for subordinates to go out." ”

Nangong Mo frowned, among tens of thousands of troops, the ability of a martial arts master is tantamount to water entering the sea and not being able to resist the slightest wave. Even if Wei Junmo is feared by everyone on the battlefield, as if Shura is alive, but he can only kill hundreds of people at most in a battle, if tens of thousands of people can be killed by him alone, where is the need to fight?

Liu Han nodded and said, "Xingwei is right, county lord, I will go with Xingwei, and I can always kill one or two." "It's not so easy to get the head of a general in a big army. Nangong Mo looked at the soldiers who were still fighting on the city tower, and muttered for a moment: "I'll go with you." ”

"Think twice." Everyone was surprised by the explanation and hurriedly persuaded.

Nangong Mo waved his hand and said, "It's not like it." I'm not good at fighting. But... It's okay to kill one or two generals. ”

"County Lord......" Qin Zixu looked at the woman in blue in front of him, sighed and said, "I hope that the county lord must be careful." ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "Don't worry, this county lord is not so easy to die." ”

When Xiao Qianjiong finally took a breath and turned around, he saw the back of Nangong Mo leaving, and hurriedly asked her where she was going. After listening to Qin Zixu's answer, she suddenly jumped to her feet in a hurry, "How can my cousin... What if something happens? ”

Qin Zixu smiled and said, "Although the third prince can rest assured, it is not the first time that the county lord has experienced this kind of thing. At the beginning, he was able to kill the head of the traitor in Zhang Dingfang's army and return safely, what kind of big deal is this today? Let alone... We can't do anything better now, can we? ”

Xiao Qianjiong paused and lowered his head in frustration. But isn't it because of his incompetence that a woman from his cousin must personally go to assassinate the enemy generals in the tens of thousands of troops?

Behind the besieging army, several generals were sitting on horseback watching the battle. Unbeknownst to them, danger was creeping up on them.

Nangong Mo and the three of them changed into the clothes of the enemy army, and it was not easy to cause ideas when they took advantage of the chaos to blend into the army. All three were well-trained and experienced killers, and even if they went against the enemy ranks, they didn't attract much attention. Until he was about to get close to where the generals were, Liu Han gave up his usual short knife, raised his wrist and fired a sleeve arrow at a young general standing at the front.

"Be careful! There are assassins! "It's all rolling on the battlefield, and this bit of vigilance is still there. A general next to him quickly drew his sword and sent the hidden arrow flying. meantime

Go. At the same time, Nangong Mo and Xing Wei swept quickly through the crowd, and the cold light appeared, and Xing Wei's sword easily slashed a war horse. The horses immediately fell. The man hurriedly jumped up, but unfortunately his heart was cold before he landed. Raising his head and looking at the cold eyes of the person in front of him, the general said with difficulty: "Star... city..."

Nangong Mo quickly drew his dagger, and in a flash, he had already left the distance and pounced on the nearest general to him.

"There are assassins! There are assassins! ”

The rear of the army was suddenly in confusion, and they all surrounded this side. Liu Han took the opportunity to shoot down the banner with a few sleeve arrows. Seeing that the army was coming towards this side, Nangong Mo said in a deep voice: "Withdraw!" ”

The three figures quickly blended into the sea of people, and the army was still in chaos because of the sudden assassination. The back was chaotic, and the besieging army in front didn't know what was going on, and they quickly evacuated their soldiers and horses.

Watching the army gradually withdraw, everyone in the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Where's my cousin? Cousin-in-law, why haven't they come back yet? Xiao Qianjiong said anxiously.

Zhu Chuyu also looked at the city and said in a low voice: "Third brother, don't worry, cousin and sister-in-law will definitely be fine." Even if you do get caught... The other party will never kill his cousin lightly. ”

Xiao Qianjiong bit the corner of his mouth and didn't speak, just stared at the bottom of the city tower, if something happened to his cousin, what kind of face would he have to see his cousin and aunt and two little babies?

Nangong Mo naturally didn't have any major incidents, but the injury was not light. Nangong Mo has always been smooth sailing since his debut, but it is the first time that he has been seriously injured. She has killed people in the rivers and lakes with strong martial arts, as well as extremely vicious bandits and bandits, and powerful executives who are like a cloud of guards, but she didn't expect to be injured in the hands of these most ordinary soldiers.

Not only her, but Xing Wei and Liu Han were also injured. Nangong Mo's shoulder was cut a few inches long, and there was also a small blood mark on his neck. Liu Han was hit by an arrow, but fortunately only shot in the arm. Xingwei was even worse, with wounds all over his body, so much so that for a while, he couldn't tell where he was hurt the most.

Hearing the news of their return, Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianjiong hurriedly rushed down the city tower, and saw the three people sitting under the city tower, Xiao Qianchi, who almost fell to the ground with a weak leg, "Where is the doctor?" Why don't you call the doctor yet! ”

Nangong Mo waved his hand and said, "I didn't hurt the vital point, I'll talk about it when I go back to the house." You are guarding the city carefully, and I don't know how many injuries you have injured just now. "It's too chaotic just now, it can be said that you can kill whoever you can, Nangong Mo only noticed that one person was a little strict.

Xiao Qianjiong shouted: "Cousin-in-law, don't worry about this, go back and rest quickly." Otherwise, my cousin won't strangle us when he comes back. "With my cousin's love for my cousin, if I knew that my cousin had been wounded in order to assassinate the enemy's generals, would you not kill them?

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "I'll go back first, and you guys be careful yourself." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up." Xiao Qianjiong hurriedly called a few people to send the three of them back. While muttering: "It's over, it's over, this time it's definitely going to die!" Hum! You don't let me have a good time, and my son can't make you feel better! As he spoke, Xiao Sangongzi's eyebrows were also a little more murderous. Turning around, he rushed up to the castle tower in a rage.

Looking at his back as he walked away quickly, Qin Zixu shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Xiao Qianchi: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with me here, I will go back first." ”

Xiao Qianchi smiled bitterly, arched his hand towards Qin Zixu and said, "The affairs in the city have the prince of Lao Qin." ”

"Shizi is polite." Qin Zixu nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, even the county lord is so brave, Youzhou City will not be broken." ”

Xiao Qianchi's eyes flashed with a resolute light, "Gongzi Qin is right, Youzhou City will never be broken!" ”

------Off topic------

Yesterday was very sad, and I lost my trust again. (づ ̄3 ̄)づ reported a group yesterday.,As a result, I was unlucky all the way home.。 I went to Xizhou in the morning, and I was completely good-looking, and I left for less than an hour, and I heard that Hu Ge went there (although I don't fan Hu Ge, but this kind of miss... Then I got on the boat to swim in Erhai Lake, began to get seasick, and almost fainted when I got off Nanzhao Style Island. The attractions are equivalent to not seeing it at all, and the double corridor after that is all in a daze. In the end, Shangcang Mountain simply didn't go and quit the group halfway. Boom... When I woke up in the morning, I found that I had a cold, and when I came back last night, I forgot to renew my room, and the inn was full. Thereupon... After taking the medicine I brought, I dragged my salute and went to find a new hostel...

ps: Unlucky day in Dali...
