With the big killer of Uncle Shi, and the guards in the palace arrived quickly, the scuffle quickly subsided without any suspense. Those black-clothed assassins were killed, they committed suicide, and the only two remaining two were almost broken when they were sent to Nangong Mo. The whole person collapsed to the ground limply, his chin was removed, and he could only look at the person in front of him with that pair of godless and empty eyes. It's not that the people below tortured these people first, but these are all first-class dead soldiers, and if they don't do this, it is impossible for them to live in front of Nangong Mo. I'm afraid that before they can interrogate these two people, they will already commit suicide.

Nangong Mo sighed and said, "Throw these two people out of the city." ”

Qin Zixu, who was sitting on the side, was a little surprised, "County Lord, don't you try it?" ”

Nangong Mo shook his head, "I can't judge anything, not to mention... I know where they come from. But what I want to know, they just don't know. She naturally wanted to know Gong Yuchen's current whereabouts, but would these dead soldiers who were basically sent to death really know Gong Yuchen's whereabouts? If Gong Yuchen was so imprudent, he wouldn't know how many times he had died.

What Nangong Mo didn't say was that with Gong Yuchen's character and the actions of the people in the Water Pavilion, even if these people went back, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to live.

Two guards stepped forward and picked up the two Assassins and walked out.

The hall was a little quiet, and Princess Changping was frightened and was persuaded to go to rest. Nangong Mo looked at his senior uncle with a smile and said, "Senior uncle, thanks to you tonight." Why did you come here so coincidentally at this time? Uncle Shi put down the teacup and snorted lightly: "The few boys you left in Cuiwei Mountain said that the people who found the Water Pavilion began to move again. They couldn't get into the city so late, so I had to go myself. ”

Nangong Mo smiled apologetically: "There is Uncle Lao." ”

Uncle Shi didn't think so, but said: "You'd better settle the matter in Youzhou City as soon as possible, your master is making a fuss about entering the city." "Since Youzhou was besieged, the senior brother has been clamoring to enter the city to protect the apprentices and grandchildren, if it weren't for his own martial arts weakness, I'm afraid he would have come to break into the city tower a long time ago. Nangong Mo covered his lips and smiled: "Although Uncle Shi is relieved, Master has Uncle Shi to take care of him, and Mo'er is very relieved." ”

Uncle Shi snorted lightly, looked at Nangong Mo and asked, "Is your injury in the way?" ”

Nangong Mo looked down at his shoulder, shook his head and smiled: "I have already used my senior brother's medicine, so it's not in the way." ”

"That's good." Uncle Shi nodded, thought about it, took out a few bottles of medicine and threw them on the table in front of Nangong Mo. On the hard tabletop, the small medicine bottles fell lightly without bouncing and scratching at all, as if they had been gently placed on the table. Nangong Mo glanced at it, they were all excellent wound medicines, and they seemed to be treasures from his master. Although the master has always been hard-mouthed, he is actually extremely generous to her apprentice.

Qin Zixu looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment before asking, "The county lord just said that he knew the origin of these assassins, so he said... Didn't these Assassins send them from Jinling? ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, looked at Qin Zixu with interest and said, "Why would Gongzi Qin think so?" ”

Qin Zixu shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "Although most people will guess that it is the killer sent by Jinling at this time, however, since the county lord specifically said so, I have to think about it more." It's just that I really can't figure it out, who else would want to blame that person at this time? Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily that I want to blame him." It's just that no matter who sent it at this time, the first person to be suspected must be Xiao Qianye. ”

"So... Who is the real mastermind? Qin Zixu was curious.

"Water Pavilion, Gong Yuchen." Nangong Mo didn't hide it.

Qin Zixu frowned, as the future heir of the Jinling family, Qin Zixu naturally had some special news channels. It won't be like ordinary people who haven't even heard of the name of the Water Pavilion. However, for this mysterious Jianghu organization and its master, Qin Zixu had to admit that he really didn't know much.

"I heard that the Pavilion Master of the Water Pavilion has a grudge against Gongzi Wei, so this time he is simply coming for the two of them?" Qin Zixu asked.

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "Qin Gongzi's news is really well-informed, but... I'm afraid that it may not be purely for personal grudges. "Gong Yuchen jumped between Xiao Qianye and Xiao Chun and Beiyuan, and even instigated Zhang Dingfang to raise troops at the beginning, how could it be purely for personal grudges?

Qin Zixu touched his nose and smiled lightly. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "This palace master is an incredibly smart person. ”

Nangong Mo smiled bitterly, not only is he a smart person, but he is also a madman. There are not terrible smart people in this world, and neither are crazy people. Scary is a clever madman.

Early the next morning, Nangong Mo was woken up by the noise outside the city. Sighing helplessly, he propped up the bed and sat up. The slight pain in her shoulder made her frown.

Zhishu came in with water, and when he saw her sitting up, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The county lord is awake?" But was you arguing? Although it has only been two days, they are all a little accustomed to the sound of soldiers meeting each other on the edge of the tower. From worrying and frightened at the beginning, now they can calmly do their own things. Nangong Mo shook his head and smiled: "It's time to get up at this time." Did Ann wake up? ”

Zhishu said with a smile: "The county lord can rest assured that the little boy and the little lady are at Mr. Wen's, and Mingqin and a few nurses are also there." The nurse came back and said that when the little boy woke up and slept again after the fourth watch, the little lady had been asleep. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, and Uncle Shi looked at the two children, so he was naturally relieved. Even if Youzhou City is really broken, it is more than enough to leave Youzhou City with the two children with Uncle Shi's ability.

"When did the fight start outside?" Nangong Mo got up and asked while letting Zhishu change his clothes. Although the injured shoulder is not as painful as yesterday, it is still inconvenient to move.

Zhishu sighed: "Before the fourth watch was over, the fight broke out again." ”

Nangong Mo thought about it

Nangong Mo pondered, "It's not today, it's tomorrow." Mother and aunt, you and Pixing take care of them more. There is going to go out. ”

Zhishu knew that she was going to the city tower, but at this time, she didn't dare to persuade her, so she had to say: "The county lord must be careful, if the wound is cracked, Gongzi Xiange and Mr. Wen will be angry." ”

Nangong Mowan'er smiled: "I know. ”

The soldiers at the head of the city are still struggling to resist the attack from the city. It's just that when I stopped the enemy army, it was more difficult and exhausting than yesterday. However, the enemy army under the city was still as brave as ever, and the siege of the city was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, but only two or three days and a few casualties of the generals yesterday were not enough to deal a fatal blow to their morale.

"Why are you here?" Nangong Xu pulled her away from the edge of the wall and asked in a deep voice. The displeasure on his face was palpable.

Nangong Mo looked at Nangong Xu in front of him, defending the city for two or three days in a row, and almost only in the interval when the enemy retreated could close his eyes and rest for a while. Although there was the medicine given by Nangong Mo, Nangong Xu's eyes were still red, and his whole person looked thinner than before.

"I'm fine."

"If you're injured, take care of it in the house." Nangong Xu said in a deep voice. He only found out about Nangong Xu's taking people out of the city yesterday, but the war on the city tower was urgent, and he didn't have the time to go back to the city to see how her injuries were. At this time, although he was a little angry when he saw Nangong Mo standing here, he was also relieved at the same time.

Nangong Mo said softly: "Big brother, I'm really fine." Don't worry, I won't move. What's going on now? ”

Nangong Xu reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips, and said helplessly: "The soldiers defending the city have lost nearly half, and if they continue to fight... The other party is attacking two or three times at most, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it. "He had done his best, but the enemy was nearly ten times outnumbered, and they were all veterans who could fight well. There's really nothing he can do. It is the two days of guarding the city, relying on most of the danger of the Youzhou City Tower.

Nangong Mo comforted him with a smile: "It's not the eldest brother's fault, don't worry too much." ”

Nangong Xu glanced at her, "You're not worried, but you are not worried about the two children and Princess Yan of Changping?" ”

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it is useless to worry about it now." ”

Nangong Xu shook his head helplessly, "I don't know who you look like?" ”

"Cousin!" Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianjiong came side by side, and saw that Nangong Mo had a little more smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Xu asked, Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianjiong came over at this time, naturally they didn't leave their posts because they heard that Nangong Mo was coming.

Xiao Qianchi's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "There are not many arrows left in the city. "Youzhou City hasn't fought for many years, and there weren't many weapons prepared in the city. It is not easy to support the defense of the city for more than two days, but it can only be done now.

Hearing this, Nangong Mo and Nangong Xu's expressions sank. After a moment of silence, Nangong Mo said, "Don't worry. ”

"Cousin-in-law, do you have a way?!" Xiao Qianjiong was overjoyed.

Nangong Mo glanced at him silently, "No." "Do you think she's a fairy? Xiao Qianjiong's face just fell, and he heard Nangong Mo say: "Perhaps, others have a way?" ”

"Who?" At this time, the mother concubine is in a coma, who else can do it except her cousin?

"Lord of Star City!" A crisp voice sounded, and I saw a red-clothed figure rushing up the city tower from below, holding a token in her hand that I don't know what it was, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop her.

"Xue Xiaoxiao?!" Xiao Qianjiong said in surprise. Not only Xue Xiaoxiao, but Xue Xiaoxiao was followed by seven or eight girls, all of whom were wearing strong suits and had a clean and neat approach. It's not like a lady in a powerful family, but like a heroic heroine. Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You're here?" How's that going on with you? ”

Xue Xiaoxiao smiled happily: "County Lord, it's rare for you to find us to do something, how can we not help you do it?" Isn't it? ”

The girls behind him also nodded yes.

Nangong Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you." ”

A girl smiled and said, "The county lord is polite, aren't you also for Youzhou City?" To help you is to help ourselves. ”

"That's it!" Xue Xiaoxiao said: "County Lord, don't worry. We'll help you defend the city together! Nangong Mo smiled bitterly and hurriedly stopped her. It's okay to ask them to help with errands, but if these girls hurt one and a half, how will she explain to their parents? Pulling Xue Xiaoxiao aside and said, "You better tell me first, how things are going." ”

Xue Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "After receiving the news from the county lord, we started acting the day before yesterday." We contacted the ladies and ladies of the various families in the city, and released all the girls and subordinates in the house, so that they could pass on the meaning of the county lord, and someone would take the lead, and everything would be easy to do. Many of the people of the city are willing to help us defend the city. You see! ”

Xue Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the city tower behind him, and sure enough, he saw many men and women on the street in the distance holding things and rushing towards the city tower.

Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianjiong didn't expect that these women, who usually look useless, could have such ability. It's not that they didn't want to let the people in the city help defend the city, but after Princess Yan fell unconscious, no one in the city had this prestige, so the people willingly risked their lives to defend the city. After all, everyone is from Great Xia, and even if the city is broken, it may not have much impact on ordinary people. At least even if the soldiers and horses attacking the city outside came in, they would never do such a heinous thing as slaughtering the city when the Northern Yuan people entered the customs. In the absence of danger, that kind of situation that responds to every call cannot happen to Xiao Qianchi, Xiao Qianjiong, or Nangong Mo, who are the sons of the world.

Life is not a book. As soon as the hero's tiger body was shaken, countless people fell at their feet, and most of the things that were willing to die and pledged allegiance were also in fantasy.

But these magnates who have lived in Youzhou City for a long time are different, although they do not have Yan Wang and Yan

has the prestige of King Yan and Princess Yan, but he has been stationed in Youzhou for more than ten years, and he is always much better than these young people. What's more, who doesn't have dozens or hundreds of subordinates in each house, everyone has a relationship of three relatives and six relatives. This relationship is also amazing enough to spread out. With these people helping to persuade him, the effect is far better than Xiao Qianchi or Nangong Mo running to a passionate mobilization speech. Nangong Mo has been thinking about this matter since Princess Yan fell into a coma, but she is not sure what the chances of success are, so she just gives it a try. However, the end result was surprisingly good.

"Great." Nangong Mo said: "Xiaoxiao, you help me inform the people who came to help defend the city." For one day of defending the city, each person will be given one tael of silver, and when the reinforcements arrive, each person will be rewarded with five taels. If there are casualties, each person will pay 30 taels. ”

"Cousin-in-law......" Xiao Qianchi couldn't help but say, now that the war is just the beginning, where did they get so much money?

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "Don't worry, if you don't have it, I'll pay for it." ”

Thinking of his cousin-in-law's rich family, Xiao Qianchi silently shut up.

Xue Xiaoxiao nodded seriously and said, "County Lord, you can rest assured!" ”

"Good." Nangong Mo looked at Nangong Xu with a smile, "Big brother? ”

Nangong Xu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Third Prince Xiao, you take someone to select a young and strong Shangcheng Tower to help defend the city." And the rest brought all the stones and wood that could be found in the city to the tower. And then... All the women and children helped to make bows and arrows, boil water, and heat oil. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Qianjiong didn't care to ask more, and ran quickly to the city in response.

Xiao Qianchi hurriedly said: "I'll arrange for someone to collect stones and wood!" ”

Xue Xiaoxiao was originally standing beside Nangong Mo and looking around, but when he noticed Nangong Xu's gaze sweeping over, he quickly shrunk his neck and said quickly: "Let's go and help make bows and arrows!" "Although Nangong Xu's skills may not be able to beat Xue Xiaoxiao, who was born in Jiangmen, but at this time, Nangong Xu was dyed with a murderous aura on the battlefield, and the clothes that he hadn't changed for several days were also stained with a lot of blood. Her eyes were red and her eyes were sharp, but she scared the second miss of the Xue family, who had always been not afraid of heaven and earth. didn't care about saying anything more to Nangong Mo, and directly pulled his companions around him and ran away.

Looking at Xue Xiaoxiao's back running away, Nangong Mo couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but laugh out loud when he reacted. Nangong Xu looked at her sideways, Nangong Mo hurriedly held back a smile and said, "Big brother, did you scare other girls?" Nangong Xu's face was expressionless, and he didn't think he had scared anyone? Although he didn't quite understand why the girl was so diligent, he didn't plan to let these eldest ladies help, after all, not everyone was as capable as Mo'er. But it doesn't matter.

When the besieging army under the city found out that it had been fighting for two or three days, but the people on the city tower were fighting more and more, they suddenly became angry.

"What's going on? How many people are there in Youzhou City? A general pointed to the man who was throwing stones down from the top of the city, and said angrily.

The other squinted and looked at it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "That's not the soldiers guarding the city, that's the ordinary people in the city." "The population of Youzhou City is small, and there are tens of thousands of people......

"So... The people of Youzhou have rebelled with King Yan? ”

"King Yan has a good reputation in Youzhou, and now people all over the world are talking about the withdrawal of the domain, and the people of Youzhou naturally feel that King Yan is innocent... Even if you follow King Yan, it is not an unthinkable thing. General Chen said a little bit of gnashing of teeth.

"So what now? Wei Junmo's army... We're not far away! ”

"What else can I do? Take Youzhou City at any cost, and wait for the arrival of the army of Yichun Hou! ”

Dozens of miles away, Wei Junmo and Lin Changfeng Xiao Qianwei stood side by side in front of the army. On the opposite side, there was a force of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses blocking their advance and an old general who was over half a hundred years old. Here, it is the last line of defense to attack Youzhou, and after that, it is the military camp that is attacking Youzhou City. The old general, who was also standing in front of the formation, immediately pointed at Wei Junmo and the others, "General Wei, the emperor treated you well, do you really want to help the abuse?" ”

Lin Changfeng pouted, the first emperor treated Wei Junmo really well. But no matter how good it is, you can't go to your own grandchildren, right? What's more, with Wei Junmo's current relationship with Xiao Qianye, even if the emperor really treats Wei Junmo as his own grandson, isn't it good?

Wei Junmo's expression was indifferent, and there was only a firm light in his purple eyes, "I only ask, let, or not?" ”
