Vice General Zhang shook his head: "The subordinates only took into account the safety of the people, so they didn't do it, and there were no other difficulties, for the siege of the city, the subordinates had confidence, and they used to fight with General An in the south and the north, and the stronger city wall was not a problem." ”

Right here, the soldiers outside made a long-term announcement.

After coming in, he panted and said: "Report to the prince, report to General Zhang, the enemy has begun to pour water on the city wall......"

Dongfang Jin and Vice General Zhang glanced at each other, and the two understood that the enemy was preparing to strengthen the city wall.

If it's really poured into ice, then they're afraid they won't be able to attack it.

"Come on, prepare the rocket immediately." Dongfang Jin said with a cold face, "While the water is not freezing, take them by surprise, fight a battle first, and then discuss other things." ”

Vice General Zhang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went out, Dongfang Jin let his cronies guard An Zhongtao, and no one was allowed to approach.

He put on the battle, this side of the array, the head of Tai'an City drums sounded, Dongfang Jin urged the horse forward, the archers behind followed straight behind, ordered, rockets rained, instantly the city was in chaos, those watering soldiers did not have time to escape, they were shot, the bucket fell under the city wall, fell into pieces, there was water on the city wall, the rocket fell and extinguished, but there was no on the city, and I don't know who was accurate in archery, and actually shot on the opponent's military flag, the fire started, and soon, the military flag turned into ashes, Dongfang Jin sneered, The men who led the troops did not know who it was, but they were watering it during the day, and if they had done it at night, they would certainly have nothing to do.

Deputy General Zhang and all the soldiers held back their anger for countless days, and at this moment they broke out together, shouting and killing to the sky, and scared the arrogant and provocative Leitai people on the city tower, after a burst of rockets, Dongfang Jin let the cloud echelon go up, and everyone carried the cloud ladder and began to attack the city, the Leitai people obviously did not expect that the Dongze army rushed to attack the city without stopping, and in a hurry, it was too late to catch those people who were usually hostages, and those defenders only cared about throwing things under the city, pouring tung oil, and the oil was burned and slipped away. Some of Dongfang Jin's soldiers became burning people, and some threw burning things to the city, screaming and reprimanding, the smell of skin and flesh was full of nose, and in an instant, there were casualties between the enemy and me, which was very tragic, Dongfang Jin didn't care, he flew off his horse and went straight to the city and swept over.

When Vice General Zhang saw the prince's lifeless play, he was so frightened that he lost his soul, but now he lost his soul and it was useless, and he had to protect the prince, so he also rushed to kill the past, protecting the prince's side, the two of them had extremely high kung fu, and they would work lightly, with one block ten, and the prince's secret guard also protected at the moment, all of them were top masters, and some of the soldiers who poured tung oil down had no time to fall, and they were shot by darts, and as a result, tung oil spilled a battlement, and the fire ignited instantly. Dongfang Jin saw that the top and bottom of the city wall had become a wall of fire, so he Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

This one, although it was not won, but it was a strong blow to Lei Tai's morale, they didn't expect that they didn't take advantage of it, and they were almost captured by Dongze, that young general was really dead, and the siege was scary.

The soldiers on both sides of each side dealt with the burns, in order to prevent them from watering the city at night, in front of the battle, Dongfang Jin sent people to dig trenches, archers prepared at night, rockets were ready, as long as they saw someone in the city, they would shoot arrows, these archers brought by Dongfang Jin were people from the rivers and lakes, and they were all good at archery, so this night, the wall of Tai'an, the defenders did not dare to show their heads.

Back to the barracks, An Zhongtao had woken up, but his body was still weak, he heard about the battle of Dongfang Jin, and couldn't help nodding, "Well done, the Leitai people were rushed by the victory and were not clear-headed, thinking that my Dongze's army was as vulnerable as the Tai'an defenders, probably thinking that we don't go on the expedition these days, and we are greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

"The general was poisoned this time, but at the end of the day, I am very worried, I am now repairing a book, can the general have something to bring back to the house?" Dongfang Jin was most worried about An Tanran, worried about her safety, and worried that she was overthinking, so as soon as he crossed the border pass, he had already sent someone to send a letter back, and now that An Zhongtao woke up, of course he had to send the message back.

"Just tell them that I'm healthy now, don't worry, this battle will be over soon." An Zhongtao was already full of confidence, but he was negligent and fell for the trick, and now that Dongfang Jin has come to help in the war, how could he not let go of his arrogance?

*********

An Tanran received a letter from Dongfang Jin, telling her that he had arrived at the border safely, and after a few hours, he received a second letter, telling her that his father's poison had been cured, and that he would take care of General An and let her wait for her triumphant at home.

After reading the two letters, An Tanran breathed a sigh of relief: "Honeysuckle, immediately send a message to Mrs. and tell her that everything is fine at the border pass, if it is fast, out of the New Year, maybe the army will be able to return to the court." ”

That was the date set by An Zhongtao and Dongfang Jin together.

The two of them will definitely be able to take the city for more than a month, but Chinese New Year's Eve can only be spent at the border pass, and this Chinese New Year's Eve is destined to be a lovesick night.

An Tanran alone did not have the slightest sloppiness, arranged for someone to decorate the inside and outside of the East Palace, put the flowers and plants transported from the south in two pots in the house, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and imagined that when the plum blossoms bloomed again, they would be able to wait for Dongfang Jin, and their mood jumped.

There are no more than 100 pots of flowers and plants transported, except for the emperor and the queen mother, the other palace concubines are divided into different pots, Shu Guifei gets five pots, Concubine Xian gets four pots, and the other concubines have three pots.

The Queen Mother was really happy when she saw that the flowers and plants were very fond of it, and she also had a good face for An Tanran: "How are you doing?" The prince went to the border, you don't have to worry too much, Jin'er has always been strategic, and the mourning family is optimistic about him. ”

An Qian smiled: "Xie Lu Xie Empress Dowager." ”

"Call me Grandmother."

"Grandmother Huang, how are you doing lately?" An was reluctant to socialize, so he had to sit down again.

The Queen Mother sighed: "You, you are too thin, look, there are not a few taels of meat on your body, such a body, it is difficult to sit in the fetus, the doctor will come to ask for a pulse, and by the way, I will also give you a look, see if your body is going to be conditioned, the mourning family is looking forward to you giving birth to a big fat boy to the mourning family." ”

An Tianran hurriedly said when he heard this: "Imperial grandmother, you don't need to ask for a pulse, I am also studying medicine myself, and I ......know better than others what is going on in my body."

"Who said that, most of these authorities are confused." The Queen Mother said, just as Imperial Doctor Zhang walked in.

An Tianran got up and took his leave.

The Queen Mother didn't allow it, let her sit down, and asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to check her pulse first.

An Tanran's heart beat wildly, if she was diagnosed with a pulse by the imperial doctor, then she would no longer be able to hide her pregnancy, what she was most afraid of was the person in front of her, how could she be the first to let her know the news?

Imperial Doctor Zhang approached, respectfully bowed at the feet of the prince's concubine, and took out the pulse pillow, if An Qianran resigned, she would definitely be suspected by the Queen Mother, what should she do?

Her left hand had been placed on the pulse pillow, and Imperial Physician Zhang's fingers had already touched the Jinpa on her wrist, and the Queen Mother looked at her: "Look, you are also a doctor, why are you so nervous, do you have something to hide from the mourning family?" ”

The Queen Mother was thinking in her heart, maybe there was something wrong with this princess who couldn't be born, otherwise it would have been more than a year, why hadn't there been any movement at all.

An Tianran clenched his fist in his sleeve with his right hand, and tapped it on his waist, the acupoint jumped, and Imperial Doctor Zhang's brows also wrinkled, and after a while, he spoke: "Back to the Queen Mother, the pulse of the crown princess is stable, and there is no abnormality, thanks to the blessing of the queen mother, the crown princess's body is very healthy." ”

An smiled and nodded.

The Queen Mother also nodded and smiled: "That's good, then you can give me a great-grandson soon, and when the prince comes back, I will let the emperor give the prince less work, he is still young, although state affairs are important, the heir cannot be sloppy......"

An Qianran didn't expect her to say it like this, making her blush.

The Queen Mother waved her hand to let her go.

After she left, the Queen Mother asked Imperial Doctor Zhang again: "Now you tell the truth, how is her body?" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so sharp, he was in a daze, and the Queen Mother said coldly: "Don't treat me as a blind person, the expression on your face can't hide from me, say." ”

"Queen Mother, Weichen found that the crown princess's pulse was a little strange, but he couldn't say anything wrong, probably because there was something wrong with his heart, if this was the case, the prince's body was afraid that it would not last long...... Maybe Weichen made a mistake, so he didn't dare to say it, and wanted to go back to check the medical book, and it was not too late to tell the Queen Mother. "Imperial Doctor Zhang is very good at talking.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly when she heard this: "Okay, you go back and check the medical books carefully, the matter of the crown princess can't be said, so as not to cause chaos." ”

After Mrs. Zhang assured him, he went out.

And the next day, some people in the palace said that the princess was sick, and I don't know how long Lu Dao can live, and it was also rumored that it might be that the prince's poison was not clear, and it would be infected, and it would be transmitted to the princess, and everyone didn't know if the princess would infect others.

The secret sentinels set up everywhere handed the news back at this moment, and after listening to it, Honeysuckle almost jumped, she was hesitant to tell the news to the crown princess.

This matter reached the ears of the emperor, Emperor Yunqi was furious, caught two palace maids who passed the news, and asked again, and couldn't ask the people behind the rumors, because it was the New Year, they didn't kill them, but they were just locked up, but these two palace maids died inexplicably, died in prison, and it is said that they committed suicide in fear of crime.

With so many things under his nose, Emperor Yun Qi gritted his teeth and hated it.

He doubted Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, and he also had a moment of doubt about the Queen Mother, but he didn't want to believe it, so he couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart again and coughed.
