took out a piece of jade pendant and handed it to Gong Yingjie, Gong Yuanhao said in a deep voice: "You take it to the Xiangfu Inn in the capital to find Shopkeeper Yao, he has a list in his hand, and then ......"

beckoned his son to approach, whispered a few words in his ear, and at the end, a strange sneer pulled out from the corner of Gong Yuanhao's lips: "This king has spent so much money and effort to raise them for so long, and now it is time for them to repay this king and be loyal to this king." ”

Listening to his father's explanation, Gong Yingjie's face changed again and again, and his heart was turbulent, but he didn't expect his father to arrange this dark road a long time ago!

"My son wrote it down."

"In addition, you go to a family surnamed Zhan in Tianma Town to see if King Ninghai of Wu'an Bo has arrived, that is one of our secret contact points, his family members have all been imprisoned by the imperial court, according to the previous agreement, he should go there after escaping, you arrange for four people to escort him here;

Also, when you arrived in the capital, you managed to contact Pingyang Bo Zhou Ji, he is the king's person, and now the court has not suspected him, so it is more convenient for you to implement the plan.

As for the people on the list, of course it is best to follow your orders, if someone excuses the excuse, you will borrow a knife to kill, if someone intends to inform, you must strike first, and never let it eat us! ”

"My son understands!" Gong Yingjie nodded clearly: "It's just that the son is gone, and the father's health is not good, and the son is worried about ...... here."

Gong Yuanhao smiled confidently: "Although you can rest assured and boldly do the things that this king has given you, as long as you succeed, our father and son will be in charge of the country just around the corner, as for here, there is an army of 300,000 under the command of this king, you don't need to worry!"

If Liyang County cannot be captured, the king will lead the army to retreat to Jiuyuan County, even if the nine princesses lead people to form a joint encirclement, as long as the king does not leave Jiuyuan County, the nine princesses will not be able to help this king at all!

You must know that the Nine Princesses have always boasted that they love the people like sons, and it is impossible to launch an attack rashly, let alone besiege the city for a long time to cause Jiuyuan County to run out of food, after all, the people of Jiuyuan County are also the people of the Jin Kingdom for the Nine Princesses, and the temperament of the Nine Princesses will not harm the people. ”

Gong Yingjie nodded to show that his father was reasonable, but suddenly thought of something with a grim expression: "In this way, didn't the Ninth Princess send someone to assassinate her father?" ”

"The Nine Princesses won't do this!" Gong Yuanhao's eyebrows contained pride: "This king is a hereditary prince of the dynasty, and he holds the gold medal of avoiding death given by the emperor, plus he has a life-saving grace for Sima Shengrui, even if this king really plots to usurp the throne, the nine princesses do not dare to advocate the assassination of this king, otherwise the court will not be able to explain to the people of the world, if someone has a heart to instigate it, it will inevitably cause the subjects to criticize the court and the nine princesses;

At that time, in order to appease the people and stabilize the society, no matter how much Sima Shengrui pampered the nine princesses, he had to sacrifice the nine princesses, which was a heart-wrenching pain for Sima Shengrui, so the king was blind to death;

However, the king believes that the ninth princess also understands the pros and cons, so the king concludes that the ninth princess will only choose to persuade to surrender or send someone to infiltrate Jiuyuan County to capture the king, and then escort him into Beijing;

It's a pity that this king is not an idle person, and the palace is solid, and the ninth princess wants to hold this king is just wishful thinking. ”

"Hearing his father say this, my son was relieved."

"In the end, whether our father and son can achieve great things depends on your trip to the capital, so you must be cautious in all affairs, and be careful to protect the country, this king always feels that this person is not simple!" Gong Yuanhao told again and again.

Looking at his father with frowns, Gong Yingjie said suspiciously: "Although the Marquis of the Protector has great military achievements, he is just a military general, and his son doesn't see where he is not simple. ”

"You don't understand." Gong Yuanhao sighed: "Back then, King Wen failed to usurp the throne, and everyone in the world said that it was the work of this king's report, but this king still remembers that Sima Shengrui's expression was unusually calm at that time, as if he was not worried that King Wen would succeed in his rebellion, and what made this king even more incomprehensible was that the Marquis of the Protector did not lead the army to kill the rebellion, but stayed by Sima Shengrui's side every step of the way. ”

"The Marquis of the Protector is a military general, and it was normal to stay by Sima Shengrui's side at that time." Gong Yingjie still didn't understand.

Gong Yuanhao shook his head: "That's not right! Sima Shengrui is not only closely protected by the Praetorian Guards, but also thousands of secret guards, why should the Marquis of the Protector be guarded day and night? ”

"It's a bit counterintuitive."

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about this problem, you just have to do what this king has told you, and you have to be careful to protect the country."

"Yes, the son heeds his father's teachings!"

The sun is sinking in the west, the sky is covered with a cool crescent moon, and the alpine trees in the distance are illuminated by continuous light blue lines, and the soft and humid atmosphere flows between the sky and the earth.

In the city of Liyang County, with the 300,000 stone grain sent by Lou Haiyang, all the people finally had a full meal, and heard that the food was still being transported one after another, and the nine princesses had also arrived at the palace to fight side by side with everyone to kill the rebels, and encircled the rebels.

However, the atmosphere of the rebel garrison outside the city was heavy and tense, just because Gong Yuanhao suddenly announced the order to launch an attack on Liyang County an hour later, so all the soldiers devoured a simple dinner and began to prepare for the siege.

Looking up at the sky, then at his son, seeing that he nodded heavily and quietly headed to the west with a thousand guards, Gong Yuanhao immediately commanded the army to launch a strong offensive from the left, center and right sides of the city wall.

For a while, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing resounded in the sky.

The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time did their duty and waited for the battle, Duan Fanghong and Lou Haiyang, who stood proudly on the city tower, and all the generals looked solemn.

Liyang County is followed by Pingchuan, once the rebels break through the city gate, there is no need to stop it, so they can only defend Liyang County to the death.

Fortunately, the disparity between the forces of the two sides is not large, and in the past few months, Duan Fanghong has improved and strengthened Liyang County, which originally had a poor military foundation, and reinforcements have arrived one after another, so it is not a matter of concern.

Outside the city, the archers fired almost 10,000 arrows at the tower.

More rebels poured under the walls like a tidal wave, erecting ladders and trying to climb the walls, but were repulsed by the soldiers guarding the towers with stones and bows and arrows.

At the same time, a pair of men and horses carried huge wooden stakes in the attempt to break open the city gates, but unfortunately the city gates were unbreakable, and they had to hit them again and again.

The soldiers on the tower of the city were also shot down by the archers of the rebels from time to time, and suddenly fell beyond recognition, or died heroically on the post.

But at this time, no one will care about these at all, whether it is the soldiers defending the city, or the rebels who are besieging the city, they are all fighting frantically, forgetting that they are all from the Jin Kingdom, forgetting that they used to be compatriots and siblings, and now the two armies are fighting either you die or I live.

I don't know how long it has been, or maybe it is just the blink of an eye, there are rivers of blood and mountains of bones inside and outside the city walls, and the tragedy and tragedy of the scene are so tragic that the crescent moon in the sky is also frightened to hide behind the thick clouds, the sky and the earth are instantly eclipsed, and there is a thick bloody atmosphere floating in the air.

At the same time, Lu Zhizhi, who did not know how to fight, led the officials, military doctors, as well as doctors in the city and some clever women to treat the wounded soldiers and ensure logistics and supplies.

At this time, on the high mountain to the west of the city, Qingyun and Mo Xuan stood side by side looking at the city tower, and the sound of soldiers and iron horses could be heard clearly even from a few miles away.

Feeling that the lover beside him was filled with an aura of slaughter and compassion, Mo Xuan's heart ached, and he reached out to her waist and comforted her softly: "War has always been so bloody and cruel, don't worry about Xiyan, there are General Duan here, and the rebels don't want to step into Liyang County half a step!" ”

"They...... They are all the people of my Jin Kingdom! There was self-blame and pain in Qingyun's deep eyes: "The people are providing for me with fine clothes and food, but I, as a princess, have failed to fulfill my due responsibilities, I'm sorry for them!" ”

Mo Xuan's expression turned grim when he heard this: "Xiyan ......"

"Master Qiqi" Dark Ten suddenly appeared and interrupted Mo Xuan's words: "Gong Yingjie sneaked away from the secret passage with a thousand guards, it seems that he should be heading to the capital, and the purple guards ask for instructions to intercept them?" ”

Removing his compassion, Qingyun shook his head slightly, his eyebrows contained clarity and majesty, and he raised the corners of his lips slightly with a sneer: "Let them go, and at the same time secretly order Xiao Yucheng and the three thousand purple-clothed guards to monitor their every move all the way, and once they find that someone is in contact with them, they will be secretly monitored, and in addition, immediately send a message to King Rui and King Xian, this time, this palace will wipe out this group of traitors who have brought disaster to the country and the people!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Dark Ten had just left quickly, and Dark Thirteen came quickly: "Master, Gong Yuanhao suddenly ordered the archers to switch to rockets, and our army ...... The injury was severe. ”

Qingyun and Mo Xuan turned their eyes to look at the city tower in unison, only to see countless firelights galloping towards the city wall in mid-air, and the gust of evening breeze was faintly mixed with the smell of burning objects, and their expressions suddenly became as cold as ice.

"Dark Thirteen!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Order you to immediately lead ten secret guards to quietly go around the rear of the enemy army, burn five grain and grass, and if you succeed, don't do anything else and retreat immediately!"

"Subordinates obey!" After receiving the decree, the Dark Thirteen hesitated and said, "Master, then you ......"

The duty of the secret guard is to protect the master's safety at all times, and at this moment, there are less than thirty secret guards around the master, if he takes ten more people, in case something happens, wouldn't the master be dangerous?

"Me and Mo Xuan, and they together!" Behind Qingyun stood a group of majestic sons.
