"Sister, I don't agree!"

As soon as Zhang Jiabao's words fell, the four of Ziye surrounded Xia Hanqiu, "Princess, the slave doesn't agree either!" ”

"If the city can't be defended, I'm just waiting to die here, and there is a difference between dying here or dying on the tower?" Saying that, Xia Hanqiu suddenly changed his breath again, "Yes, there is still a difference, at least dying on the city tower is not so embarrassing, worthy of my current identity." ”

"Sister!" Zhang Jiabao's eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse because of his low voice, "I will never let you have any trouble." ”

How naïve, Xia Hanqiu's mouth was bitter, if it wasn't for the critical moment, how could she fight with her life, if she could be more ruthless, it might not be feasible to let the people use their lives to pile up, but she couldn't be so ruthless.

At the beginning, the master said that the prophet would be attacked if he hurt the heavens too much, and aside from this, she also had to accumulate some virtue for the child in her womb!

The people are water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat, but also can overturn the boat, this truth remains unchanged through the ages, she can't turn the pavilion into a hell with a person's heart on his back, that way, even if she guards the city, she can't save the hearts of the people.

Chirp didn't know when he followed, jumping on her shoulder, and the fiery red cloak made it whiter and whiter.

Xia Hanqiu hugged it into his arms, and the warm body warmth came through the fur, and his heart was much more stable.

"There's no time, let's go."

Seeing that his sister really went down the stairs, Zhang Jiabao had to grit his teeth and follow, and he didn't have much to do to go up to help each other, his lower plate was far less stable than those handmaidens, so let them rest assured.

It's just that my sister is more than seven months pregnant. It's not close......

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of a car behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Blue Butterfly who drove the carriage over.

Needless to say, Xia Hanqiu consciously got into the carriage, and when she left again, she obviously found that the speed of the whole team had increased a lot, and sure enough, at this time, she was dragging her feet, and the only role was probably to boost morale.

And now. It's when it's needed most.

So many people went to the east gate together. The footsteps alone attracted a lot of people to sneak a look, not to mention that Xia Hanqiu didn't plan to hide the traces at all, when the group walked to the east gate, I am afraid that half of the city knew her Xia Hanqiu. Princess Liang personally came to guard the east gate.

I don't know if this trick will work. Xia Hanqiu smiled bitterly. She is really unscrupulous, and she has used any tricks.

Mingde was so frightened when he received the news that he simply jumped down from the city tower, and the people who have always been gentle will be full of anger, and they dare not say that the princess is not. A full of anger rushed towards a few maids, "At this time, I actually let the princess come to this kind of place, what use do you want, if the princess bumps into somewhere, I will rip your skin." ”

"Uncle Ming, don't blame them, I insisted on coming." Xia Hanqiu didn't want people to take it for her, and looked at the few people kneeling in the snow: "They stopped it, but they didn't stop it, don't talk about it now, it's important to get down to business, you all get up." ”

Zidie and the others didn't dare, the princess didn't know how powerful the Mingde housekeeper was, but they had experienced it personally, if it was respect to the prince and love for the princess, then they were afraid of Mingde, so at this moment, even if the princess asked them to get up, they couldn't get up with weak legs.

Mingde naturally knew that now was not the time, so he snorted lightly to get out of the way, and bowed slightly and stretched out his arm, "The old slave is offended, the stairs are slippery, and the others are not at ease to help the old slave." ”

Xia Hanqiu did not hesitate to hold Mingde's arm, walked forward cautiously, stepped steadily on every step before taking the next step, and was already sweating on his back when he went up the stairs.

And on the city tower, it is a hot scene, every ten steps to light a fire, the fire on the shelf of a cauldron, no need to look, just smell to know that it is boiling oil.

"The stairs are too slippery, and the old slave is worried that the oil will be difficult to get, so he simply let them work on the city tower, and by the way, let everyone take turns to bake the fire, even those who want to sneak attack must be careful."

Xia Hanqiu nodded slightly, no longer entangled in this matter, and looked back at the people who followed up, "How many people are there here now?" ”

"Of the 1,200 people, 400 of the 1,200 are ordinary people, and there are only 800 real soldiers." After a pause, Mingde added, "There may be a slight shortcoming." ”

It's just ...... Xia Hanqiu pursed her lips, and after thinking about it, she also felt that it was at most this number, "Taking advantage of the fact that the other party has not yet moved, I broke up and remixed it, and incorporated the more than 800 female soldiers I brought." ”

"Yes, the old slave will arrange it." Mingde led Xia Hanqiu to the attic on the city tower, which was simple and smelly, but it was also a place to shelter from the wind.

After counting the hours, Xia Hanqiu did not stay in the house for long, but came to the edge of the city wall to look outside, thanks to the heavy snow, the place closer to the opposite side can be seen clearly, not to mention people, even cats and dogs have nothing to hide.

This group of people was already eye-catching, and more and more people looked at it, Xia Hanqiu didn't feel it, turned around and said aloud to a group of obviously nervous women: "What you have to do is to beat down those who want to climb the city wall, whether it is splashed with fire oil or stoned, as long as you stop people, it will be victory." ”

After a pause, Xia Hanqiu's eyes swept around the city wall, "If anyone bullies you as a woman, they will do something to you, don't bear it, kick off their descendants, I will make the decision for you." ”

The woman was excited when she heard it, but the man only felt cold in his crotch when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to pick it up and walk.

"Ahem, princess, please leave this matter to the old slave, you go back to the house and rest."

"The action should be fast, it's ugly, if they really regard the East City Gate as a breakthrough, I'm afraid they will do it soon, Jiabao, you follow Uncle Ming, learn some, if the pavilion is not lost this time, you will go to meet Bai Yu and go the way you should go."

"Yes, sister." At this point, Zhang Jiabao had nothing more to say, turned to Mingde and saluted, "Uncle Ming, please mention a little more." ”

Mingde avoided being rude, helped the person up and said: "The old slave will only have a little trick, the son wants to learn, and the old slave will definitely teach him." ”

Xia Hanqiu was very self-aware, and when she saw that the outside began to be arranged, she also went back to the house with a chirp and waited for time to pass.

Lan Yu didn't know where to get a basin of hot water and squatted down. came to take off Xia Hanqiu's shoes and socks, and put a pair of cold feet into the hot water to soak.

"Hiss......"

The overheated water made Xia Hanqiu subconsciously raise his feet, and as soon as he moved, he was pressed back by Lan Yu, "You bear with me, you will be lighter if you soak in a bubble." ”

The feet surrounded by hot water are very uncomfortable, and a little comfortable, Xia Hanqiu forcibly endured it, this night is still very long, but now she feels that her body is sinking, no, or her body has not been relaxed since last night, she is very worried that the child will lose, as long as she can make the body easier, this uncomfortable is nothing.

Soak her feet, Xia Hanqiu was a little drowsy, Zishuang went to the carriage and got a blanket and came in and put it on the princess, and then approached and helped the princess to lean on herself, and said softly: "You rest." ”

It's rare to be sleepy, Xia Hanqiu doesn't force herself, at this time, of course, she can sleep for a while, even if she can only rest for a while, it's good for her.

However, it was so coincidental that as soon as she fell asleep, there was movement outside the city.

Mingde pushed the door in, saw the situation inside and hurriedly wanted to exit, but Xia Hanqiu had already woken up, his voice was no longer as crisp as usual, slightly hoarse, "Coming?" ”

Mingde secretly scolded himself for coming at a bad time, but at this time he couldn't hide it anymore, so he said: "Yes, I touched it from the south, at this time there are still about five hundred steps away from the east city gate, and the number of people is preliminarily estimated to be four thousand, and it is very well hidden. ”

"Four thousand...... I'm not afraid, be careful, this number is a little different from what I thought. ”

"Yes, the people in the hidden department are still investigating, if there is anything wrong, they will definitely come to report immediately."

Xia Hanqiu got up, threw the blanket aside, put Jiu Jiu on the blanket, stopped it from following with his eyes, tightened the cloak on his body and walked out.

Mingde wanted to stop him, but with a faint look at the princess, he finally got out of the way.

"I know what I'm doing, it's not that I want to be strong, since I want people to die for themselves, I always want them to know that I'm not treating them as substitutes." When walking by Mingde's side, Xia Hanqiu said.

Mingde couldn't stop it anymore, so he had to glare at Ziye and the others, and whispered, "Be more careful, cheer up, and never let the princess lose." ”

"Yes."

Looking out of the city from the hideout, she couldn't see anything for the time being, but it made her feel a kind of calm before the storm came.

"Hidden seven see the princess."

"Say."

"The enemy is far more than 4,000 men, and it is estimated that there should be about 6,000 subordinates, and in addition, there are signs of increasing troops in the rear."

Six thousand men alone would be enough for them to drink a pot, and if there were any more troops...... Xia Hanqiu took a deep breath, she was not half sure of this vicious battle!

But what she showed was still calm!

"Probe!"

"Yes."

"Six thousand people, Uncle Ming, are you prepared enough oil?"

Mingde's face was not good-looking, "From this morning, every place where the oil is boiled has not stopped, it should be enough, the old slave will go and take a look." ”

Xia Hanqiu has never been a person who sits still, and beckoned two soldiers over there, "One goes to the south gate and the other goes to the north gate, ask General Yu and General Wu to see if it is possible to draw troops, and in addition, if there is a large stock of hot oil, let people send it over here." ”

"Yes."

Looking up at the dark sky, taking a deep breath of cold air, Xia Hanqiu stroked his stomach back and forth to appease the little guy who kicked hard, and secretly comforted in his heart, "It's okay, don't be afraid, my mother protects you, you have to be obedient and don't toss your mother, as long as you get through this hurdle, it's good, don't kick so hard, my mother is uncomfortable......"

It's like there is a feeling, and after a while, the child really didn't kick, patted his stomach gently, Xia Hanqiu's expression became more and more determined, in this Huiting City, she has too many people to protect, Huiting, there must be no loss! (To be continued......)
