Chapter 173: Reunion 2
I saw that there were still three or four miles away from Guangling City, and after a burst of drums, countless torches suddenly lit up. In just a blink of an eye, the torch light turned into a long dragon, and then, the long dragon became longer and longer, more and more, and gradually, the long dragon actually covered the sky and the earth, and surrounded Guangling City in a circle!
This change in the scene is really surprising. As if feeling the abnormality outside, the crying in Guangling City also stopped suddenly!
After a long dragon of firelight lit up the entire sky, another rapid drum beat came. Just after the "bang, bang, bang" of the drum, which represented the attack, was heard a few times in a hurry, and the sound of footsteps that shook the ground approached without hurry!
At this time, the sky had gradually brightened, and the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty could clearly see that the smoke and dust were rolling up on the wasteland three or four miles away. Moreover, the vibration from the ground was so strong that even the most inexperienced people knew that it would be thousands of troops!
Suddenly, a Northern Wei general hissed: "It's not good, we've been tricked!" ”
As soon as his cry came out, all the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty were thinking: We have been tricked!
If it weren't for the enemy's early arrangement, how could it be that they had just surrounded Shangguangling City, and they were counter-surrounded in the blink of an eye?
In the blink of an eye, another Northern Wei general shouted: "Retreat!" Listen! The front team turns to the back team! Let's withdraw! "Originally, this kind of siege battle that went deep into the hinterland of the other party was a surprise or a speed, but now these Northern Wei people have found that the officers and soldiers of Liu Song have already taken precautions and know that the opportunity has passed. I also had to withdraw!
However, as soon as the general screamed here, the female knight shouted, "We all made military orders when we came!" Not to mention the plans of the adults. Now, without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, he said to retreat, what if the other side made an empty plan? ”
She actually didn't make sense of what she said, the premise of the empty city plan was that there was no one on the other side, but now just listening to the shaking of the ground, you can know that there are many enemies.
However, although they muttered like this in their hearts, several Northern Wei generals still hesitated!
That's when it happened. Suddenly. The drumming of three or four miles away suddenly stopped!
Just when everyone looked away together, I saw that in the faint morning mist, I saw countless cows appear in the place where the smoke and dust were billowing, and then. I don't know what stimulated the cow. It turned out to be a "moo-" in unison. He rushed towards this side like crazy.
The mad bulls had just rushed out of the tens, and everyone finally saw the fire on the ox's tail. At that moment, someone hissed, "Not good. They're using a fire ox meter! ”
It was too late, and those fire oxen with their tails ignited roared on the ground, and rushed towards the Northern Wei soldiers headlessly.
Then, that's all there is to it, just when the first batch of cattle rushed out of a mile or two, everyone was surprised to find that another drum sounded, and then, thousands of fire oxen rushed out!
The first and last two batches of fire bulls rushed towards the Northern Wei people in a frenzied manner, just looking at this momentum, it made all the soldiers frightened!
At this time, the Northern Wei general, who was the first to speak, shouted at the female knight and the others: "If you don't retreat, I will retreat!" As soon as the voice fell, the flag behind him waved again and again, and so, as soon as his order came out, two thousand soldiers rushed out in a blink of an eye. It turned out that this Northern Wei general was one of the three main generals who came to encircle and annihilate Guangling County this time!
Seeing the 2,000 people fleeing towards the north with smoke and dust, another Northern Wei general shouted in horror: "It's not good, it's really Liu Song's army coming!" ”
But it turned out that behind the two or three thousand fire oxen, there were countless figures, those people stood in the smoke, although there were many shadows, but there was no doubt that the number was huge, and it was completely impossible to see the end!
So, the second Northern Wei general also retreated in a panic with his soldiers, and after a while, everyone heard him shout in surprise: "The other party is surrounded by three missing one, there is a gap in the north, hurry, let's retreat!" ”
So in the blink of an eye, this group also withdrew!
Suddenly, only the female knight and a thousand of her soldiers were left under the walls. I saw that she unwillingly glared at Tan Zhirui on the city wall for a while, and also shouted loudly, and withdrew with the soldiers!
These Northern Wei people retreated quickly, but they still collided with those fire bulls on the way. With a burst of screams accompanied by the neighing of cows, after a while, Guangling City was already a wolf.
However, the Northern Wei people had no intention of staying, and in the end they left hundreds of corpses and fled. After the Northern Wei people left, the cows ran into each other like crazy, until the flames on their tails gradually extinguished, and then they fell or stood on the ground.
At this time, the east was bright. Looking at the smoke and dust that gradually dissipated, and a knight in Xuanyi who rushed out of the smoke, and looking at the familiar figures gathered behind the knight, slowly, Xie Lang's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Tan Zhirui was also looking down excitedly, and while the morning sun was rising, he saw the Xuanyi Xiaolang who was galloping in front. As Xuanyi Xiaolang got closer and closer, that Xiaolang's picturesque eyebrows and red cheeks were all presented in front of Tan Zhirui's eyes.
Just Tan Zhirui said excitedly: "Eighteen Lang, go!" Go to greet our life-saving benefactor", Xie Lang's gentle voice came from his side, which was almost nostalgic, "Zhirui, did you see that Xuanyi Xiaolang?" She's my woman! ”
As soon as Xie Lang's voice fell, Tan Zhirui was already speechless in shock.
At this time, the gate of Guangling City was opened, and dozens of elders in the city and Xie Lang talked about Zhirui to greet them.
Seeing these people coming out from a distance, Ji Ji's movements slowed down, she stood on the ground, let Xie Guang and the others rush in front of her, and also let them meet the cheers and hugs of the people of Guangling City.
Ji Ji sat on horseback and watched the Xie clan's tribes rush to the city like a tide, until she saw Xie Lang in white walking slowly.
Rao is at this time, this guy is still clean in white clothes, and his steps are graceful, but he has obviously lost a lot of weight, and his already thin body is as if he can be blown away by the wind. At the same time, his eyes were so bright that he looked into her gaze. It's as bright as the stars.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Lang walked in front of Ji Ji.
He tilted his head and looked at Ji Ji who was sitting on horseback with gentle eyes, and did not speak.
After Ji Ji looked at him for a while, her thoughts finally overshadowed the annoyance of being calculated by him, and she turned over and dismounted.
Almost as soon as Ji Lang landed, Xie Lang rushed up, he held her tightly in his arms, pressed her face tightly on his chest, Xie Lang said in a low voice: "Auntie, thank you...... Thank you for coming. "Thank you to her for saving his life again. Thank you for being here at this time. Let him, who thought he would never see her again in this life, be able to hug her like this......
I don't know why, Ji Ji is obviously still a little annoyed by the guy in front of her, but she is in his arms. Smelled the familiar breath. Feel his powerful heartbeat. But she burst into tears.
…… He's alive, and that's better than anything!
Tan Zhirui stood in the crowd, and he watched from a distance as Xie Lang and his woman hugged each other. The corners of his lips couldn't help but smile.
At this time, a Guangling official said with emotion: "I thought it was really our reinforcements that arrived, but how do you know that these people are still using an empty city plan!" But it turned out that these people also saw at this moment that the figures scattered all over the sky and looked huge and majestic were actually ragged people. Those people are old and weak, and they look thin and weak, obviously they spent money to invite them to make up for it! The strength that these Xie clans can really use is only three or four thousand cows!
Tan Zhirui was also deeply emotional, he glanced in the direction of Ji Ji again, and said: "There has never been a war, and the general is plotting!" The enemy killed one of us by surprise and was a conspiracy, and now these people from the Xie clan have returned to them by surprise. This battle was not a fluke! ”
Turning his head, Tan Zhirui said in a deep voice: "Order all the soldiers and horses, bring the tokens, and take advantage of the fact that the Northern Wei people have just retreated, let's go and get the traitor!" ”
"Yes!"
At this time, in Guangling City, there was a lot of laughter, countless voices of joy and crying echoed in the city, and the Guangling County Guard and others even shouted and feasted.
At Xie Lang's suggestion, Xie Guang replaced Ji Ji and became the mastermind of this rescue and the life-saving benefactor of the entire Guangling City. Of course, this point naturally can't be concealed from Tan Zhirui and Guangling County Shou, but those two people will keep their mouths shut for her when they get Xie Lang's orders.
…… Now Xie Lang alone has become a thorn in the eye of Emperor Liu Song because of his talent and fame, if Emperor Liu Song knew that the woman next to him was also a talent, then the two would have no way to live.
When everyone in the city fell into a sea of carnival, Xie Lang took Ji Ji's hand and entered the courtyard where Tan Zhirui lent him to live.
After several days of running around day and night and making suggestions, Ji Ji was also dirty and tired, so she hurriedly took a bath in hot water, and then took Xie Lang's clothes and put them on.
As soon as the man relaxed, he looked extremely tired. As soon as Ji Ji returned to the side room, she leaned lazily on the couch.
Just when she seemed to be asleep, there was a sound of footsteps, and Xie Lang came over.
At this time, Xie Lang had just bathed, his long black hair was drenched on his shoulders, and the drops of water flowed down his superb eyebrows and eyes down the bridge of his high nose, slowly sinking into his perfect bowed lips.
Just a glance, the tips of Ji Ji's ears turned red, and she slowly turned her head.
Seeing her like this, Xie Lang chuckled, and he walked towards Ji Ji step by step.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Lang walked in front of Ji Ji.
Just when Ji Ji was forced to shrink back involuntarily by his aura, slowly, Xie Lang knelt down on one knee in front of her, and then, he rested his face on her lap.
This kind of Xie Lang, Ji Lang has never seen it, and when she was so stunned that she forgot to react, Xie Lang, who hid her head in her arms, said very lightly: "Auntie, we will never be separated again in this life." In a blink of an eye, he said in a very gentle and gentle voice: "I miss you, after this farewell, a total of three months and nineteen days, Ah Lang is always thinking about Grandma." ”
This man, when he used to get along with Ji Ji the most, he could always disappear for a few months and a half as soon as he turned around. Because of this, that time when she was ready to stay with him on the front foot, and he said goodbye without saying goodbye on the back foot, although Ji Ji was in pain, she was not too surprised. Because, the real affection must be eager to stay with each other from time to time, her Ah Lang always disappears casually for a few months, which shows that his heart for her is only so much.
Suddenly hearing Xie Lang's words, he suddenly saw this prodigal son who was always wandering the world and said that he was thinking about her all the time this time, Ji Ji's eyes were red, and she almost burst into tears.
Just when Ji Ji held back her tears and didn't let it fall, Xie Lang raised her head.
Maybe it was because he had been in her arms for too long, Lang Jun's face was slightly red at this time, his eyes were as bright as water, he gently raised Ji Ji's snow-white and slender fingers, and slowly lowered his head, and then, Ji Ji only felt that his fingertips were crisp, but he gently held it.
Xie Guang finally got rid of everyone, and when he hurriedly ran over, he actually caught a glimpse of his own Langjun when Ji's cheeks were flushed and his eyes were watery and he shrank back, and little by little he used his teeth to tear open her clothes......
After being shocked, Xie Guang shrank back as quickly as he could in his life. After he stretched out his hand to cover his ears, which were a little hot, he turned around and called a few servants, and asked them to honestly guard the gate of the garden, watch and guard, and no one was allowed to let them in.
……
In the evening, Tan Zhirui came. He stood in the garden, looked at Xie Lang with a smile, and couldn't help but look him up and down.
After a while, Tan Zhirui smiled: "Why do you look like a prodigal? ”
Xie Lang sat lazily on the couch, he stilted his long legs and shook them, and said lightly, "How is the situation?" ”
Tan Zhirui immediately retracted his gaze, and he said coldly: "The facts are all there, what else is there to say?" Of course, I caught a few and killed a few! ”
In a blink of an eye, he asked again, "Is it really your woman's work to do such a big thing this morning?" He shook his head and said, "This kind of woman is very rare in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is really hard to believe." ”
Xie Lang smiled: "Well, my woman is a little strange. ”
In a blink of an eye, he said again: "I'm afraid that the siege of Guangling will be very fast this time, and it seems that the court will send someone to ask soon." ”
Tan Zhirui nodded.
After a while, Tan Zhirui said: "By the way, when I interrogated those traitors just now, I actually asked about those things you cared about. After a slight pause, Tan Zhirui said with some emotion: "I'm afraid that your matter will be difficult to go smoothly." I found out after first questioning that there were as many as five or six generals in the Northern Wei Dynasty who intended to support Liu Yikang's uprising. Some officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty believed that since our Southern Dynasty had the intention of the Northern Expedition, it was also a wise policy for them to unite with Liu Yikang to consume the national strength of the Southern Dynasty. ”
Speaking of this, Tan Zhirui looked at Xie Lang silently, with a worried face.
Unlike his worries, Xie Lang was relaxed, and he chuckled: "It's okay, I'm about to go to Luoyang, maybe it will be solved later." ”

Some readers said that it would be nice if the arrogant heroine's character was like Lu Ying's character in "Phoenix Moon Boundless".
When they said this, they did not take into account the background of the times. The four dynasties of the Southern Dynasty, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, all of them were delicate and beautiful, and men often applied powder, and when people moved, they shed tears and were ashamed of their words. In such an environment, whether it is Xie Lang or Zhang Zhihe, Xiao Yi, Zhou Yu, their aesthetics must also be in line with the mainstream. In other words, in such an era, the heroine must be a little delicate to meet the aesthetics of most people, so as not to be rejected at the beginning. And Lu Ying's strong character from head to toe, in the Southern Dynasties, is actually not liked and recognized by the mainstream culture. Not to mention impressing the male protagonists and male partners with this character. (To be continued......)
