Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it has been three months, the day of Duan Zhuang's wedding is really the sixth day of the seventh month, and now it is the sixth day of the first month of October, it has entered the winter, originally for the battle, the winter is extremely unsuitable for combat, but for the Dali army with incomparably powerful artillery, when the battle is the same, because with the artillery, any battle can be quickly resolved, there is no problem of food and grass supply and continuous combat, and Duan Zhong at this moment, Zheng led the army around a big circle, first westward through Chizhou, and then to the north across the Yangtze River, this heavy from the hands of Emperor Zheng Kang to take over the 30,000 troops, it was a very secret thing, so this army of 30,000 people is bound to cross the Yangtze River without knowing it, to Beiliang to give a fatal blow, so that it really plays the role of a sharp knife.

The 30,000 troops are not only well-equipped, but also extremely secretive troops, so this time Duan Chong also left Nanjing City very secretly, and these 30,000 elite troops are stationed in the mountains and forests a hundred miles away from Nanjing City, Duan Chong took the talisman directly led the 30,000 troops to leave quietly, and after the two thousand "poison daggers" led by Zongzi, they quietly went north, Duan Chong went around a big circle, from Chizhou to the west, crossed Jiangzhou, and then chose to go north, and after crossing the Yangtze River, It will enter the west side of the border of the North Liang, although the west side of the North Liang is very fertile, but there are many disasters, plus the political and economic center of the North Liang is in the Yanjing area, but it seems very remote, and the court of the North Liang has paid enough taxes and silver every year, and the court of the North Liang will not care, anyway, the Huns can't fight here, and it is not bordered by the core area of the South Liang, far away from the sword soldiers, so there is no need to defend with heavy troops, and Duan Zhong is taking advantage of such a loophole at the moment, in the eyes of the North Liang, the army of Dali has this cannon to help, Naturally, there is no need to think about any strategic tactics, just bombard all the way after the army crosses the river.

Duan Chong was standing on the bow of the ship going north at the moment, his eyes were slightly hazy, and he still remembered that when he went north to Beiliang, he was also standing on the bow of the battleship like this, and he was able to escape after a thrilling battle, but the last time Duan Chong was to help Beiliang, and this time he was going to lead the army to attack Beiliang.

This is enough to make Duan Chong feel ridiculous The fact that his childhood brother playmate, in addition to Zongzi staying by his side, this Xiao Zhengrong and Xiao Beiping have already stood on their absolute opposite, and Duan Chong also had to raise his sword to attack them, before sending troops, Emperor Wu of Liang in Northern Liang Xiao and several times sent messengers to negotiate peace, but they were all killed outside the palace gate by Emperor Zhengkang without seeing him, and at this moment Xiao Beiping's state of mind, I am afraid it is even more sad! Duan Zhong knew that this Xiao Beiping cherished Princess Izumo very much, since the death of Emperor Wen of Liang Xiao He, the second prince Xiao Beiding was treasonous, and only he was left with Princess Izumo and the young third prince to rely on each other, this friendship is needless to say, and the reason why Xiao Beiping agreed to Princess Izumo to marry at the beginning, on the one hand, was naturally because of the necessity under the fence, and on the other hand, he thought that Dali had Duan Chong's care, and as a princess, presumably Princess Izumo would not be too bad, but Xiao Beiping never thought of it, His sister Princess Izumo seems to be weak, and the hatred in her heart has reached such a terrifying point that she made the assassination of the prince of Dali, and if it didn't work, it was okay, but not only succeeded, but also succeeded very thoroughly, almost never gave Duan Zhuang any chance to live, so this matter has become a big trouble, and it has reached the point of being out of control, during this period, Xiao Beiping sent several letters to Duan Chong again and again, and Duan Chong did not reply, because in Duan Chong's view, it is not necessary to go back now, after all, his army has been...... It's a very helpless reality.

Duan Chong stood on the deck, sighed helplessly, and shook his head, but behind Duan Chong was the sound of slow footsteps, Duan Chong heard this voice, but he sighed lowly, turned around, and said to the person in front of him: "Princess, why did you come out!" ”

The appearance of the woman standing in front of Duan Zhong was overwhelming, and there was a charming aura between her eyebrows, but there was a trace of lifelessness in the eyes of this beauty, and her black eyes seemed to have seen through the life and death of the world, she just glanced at Duan Chong lightly, and then walked to the bow of the boat and leaned on the railing to look at the river.

This beauty is none other than Princess Izumo who should have died on the court outside the noon gate a long time ago, and Duan Zhong still has a little selfishness for Princess Izumo. Although this Izumo princess assassinated her brother, according to the cleanup, Duan Chong should have hated her very much, but at this moment, Duan Chong's heart was hating and pity her, Duan Chong didn't know what kind of psychology this was, but Duan Chong still saved Princess Izumo, which is also thanks to Emperor Zheng Kang for giving Duan Chong the opportunity to be a law enforcement officer, which allowed Duan Chong to steal beams and change pillars on the court field, and replaced Princess Izumo with the life of a female prisoner.

Princess Izumo looked at the waves below the deck lightly, and didn't say a word for a long time, while Duan Zhong took a deep breath: "I hope that after you go back, you can leave the place of right and wrong with your brother, find a paradise to live in seclusion, and live this life well, if you can meet a good family, you will marry, have children, husbands and children, and enjoy the blessings, and it may not be worse than the life of the Nanliang royal family!" ”

Princess Izumo's body shook when she heard this, and it took a long time to turn around, look at Duan Chong, think about it, and then slowly said, "You...... Why ...... Save me! ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose and took a breath, but shook his head helplessly: "This is the first time you have spoken to me in the past few months!" ”

Princess Izumo was stunned again, there was finally some fluctuation in her eyes like the Dead Sea, but she still didn't speak, glanced at Duan Chong, still turned around and looked at the river at the bottom of her feet, Duan Zhong was bored, but she also leaned her hands on the railing, and seemed to say to herself: "I don't know why I saved you, you assassinated my brother, I should naturally hate you, but I just feel ...... You are pitiful, there is a saying that there must be pity for those who are hateful, and I know ...... What a terrible thing hatred is! ”

Princess Izumo lightly spit out four words: "Poor, no need!" ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "Maybe it's pitiful, it's not, maybe I don't know how to express my meaning, but in fact, I can understand your feelings very well, so I don't know what kind of attitude to use to treat you now, but instead of standing in your position, the country is ruined, and I am forced to become a political tool, I don't necessarily have the courage of you to face life and death, so ...... I respect you! ”

Princess Izumo's shoulders shook again, and she took a long breath, then slowly turned around, and looked at Duan Chong's eyes, as if she wanted to find something out of Duan Chong's eyes, but Duan Chong's eyes were as clean as clear water, and she couldn't find a trace of flaw at all, Princess Izumo sighed again, looked at Duan Chong and said, "I'...... I can't understand you! ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "There are too many things in this world that can't be figured out, you can't understand me, it's also a very normal thing, don't think about it, in this world, there are more helpless things, for example, now I want to lead the army to destroy your country." It's not what I want to do, but it's a must! ”

Duan Zhong glanced at the surging river, and then continued leisurely: "Your brother Xiao Beiping and I are brothers, and there is friendship between them, but now we have to fight each other, the helplessness in this, maybe you don't know, but do you know that it is precisely because of your behavior that this could have happened a few years later...... Happened in advance! ”

Princess Izumo said lightly: "Since it's all going to happen, it's going to happen a little sooner or later...... And why not? ”

Duan Zhong was said by Princess Izumo, but he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say? But Princess Izumo smiled very suddenly, and said, "You created this cannon!" ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose: "You can say that, but you can't say it completely!" ”

Princess Izumo shook her head: "This is a weapon that is enough to change history!" ”

Duan Zhong was silent for a while, the voice outside the words of Princess Izumo was extremely obvious, that is, who was the initiator of all this...... Duan Chong, and Duan Chong also understood the meaning of this layer, so he couldn't say a word for a while.

Princess Izumo looked at Duan Zhong and miraculously smiled: "Actually, you don't need to explain anything?" After I go back, if I see my brother, I will naturally relay your words to him, as for how he decides, it has nothing to do with me, I only know that my brother does not want to ...... Be a king of a dead country! Without looking back, he turned around and walked towards the cabin.

Duan Chong looked at Princess Izumo's back, sighed for a while, but couldn't speak, and Zongzi came to Duan Chong's side quietly, and said: "Little master, are you playing Princess Yun's idea, this Su Mei girl hasn't solved it yet?" There is another Izumo princess, and Sister Su'er won't agree! ”

Duan Chong was immediately angry when he heard this, and slapped on the head of Zongzi: "What nonsense? After you go ashore, you will immediately send Princess Izumo to Kaifeng Xiao Beiping, don't make any mistakes! ”

Zongzi was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Duan Zhong with extremely surprised eyes: "Little master, you have to throw away this fat meat, it doesn't fit your style!" As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhong had already flown up and kicked the zongzi under the river.
