The weather in late June gets hotter and hotter, even if it's cloudy, it's still hot and humid.

"Xiao Ning, this king knows that you hate killing, and this king promises you that this is the last battle." On the towering tower of Kowloon City, Ling Chengzhi, dressed in red uniform, looked into the distance, and couldn't suppress the pride in his eyes.

Ji Qianning glanced at him, didn't say a word, looked ahead, and saw that a large number of rolling stones and logs coated with fire oil had been prepared at the battlements on the city tower...... The crossbowmen surrounded several layers, always ready.

"Xiao Ning, don't embarrass yourself, one day, you will accept this king again." Ling Chengzhi's tone was gentle, and his face was full of expectations, "As long as you stay by this king's side, this king is willing to do anything for you." He spoke firmly.

The war drums were beating, and the sound of neat and powerful iron horses under the city tower was getting closer and closer......

Feeling that the time had come, Ling Chengzhi pulled Ji Qianning forward, and the crossbowmen immediately gave way to the way, and when the two stood still in front of the city tower, the crossbowmen immediately stood back in place.

Ji Qianning looked into the distance, as far as his eyes could see, the black-pressed army stopped in a few white zhang after a while, the military flags tattooed with the black "A" and "Yue" characters fluttered in the wind, and all the Chiyan and Beiyue soldiers wore black armor, which was in stark contrast to the Daxin soldiers wearing red armor on the city tower. They marched with forceful steps, lined up in a neat phalanx, and once again prepared to besiege Kowloon City.

Black clouds crush the city......

The atmosphere between the two armies was tense to the extreme......

The wind blew Ji Qianning's red clothes, and she glanced at Ling Chengzhi without any expression on her face. At this time, Ling Chengzhi was gentle and elegant, and there was no trace of evil and ruthlessness in the past, if it was normal, she was afraid that she would have been compromised by his words, and she really couldn't have any illusions about him, it was he who disguised himself too well, if she hadn't heard it with her own ears to use her as a lure to deal with Xuan Qi, she would definitely have a lot of changes about him.

Ling Chengzhi secretly observed her face, but when she saw the Chiyan Army, there was no emotional change on her face, and he felt inexplicably empty. Without food and grass, the huge army is afraid that it will not last long in Kowloon City, and it is not a good strategy to loot the people in the city, and there are troops of Chiyan and Beiyue outside the city, and this impregnable Kowloon City is the only barrier.

Therefore, he deliberately released the news that Ji Qianning was seriously injured a few days ago, if that Xuan Qi really had feelings for her, he would definitely be desperate to save her. So, he had already ordered someone to set a trap and waited for Xuan Qi to take the bait. Today, he took her to the castle tower just to let her see Xuan Qi captured with her own eyes, so that she could understand who was the most heroic person in Kyushu and who was the person she was worthy of trust.

thought that everything he planned was seamless, but he was still overheard by Ji Qianning.

……

Among the men in the group, Ji Qianning's figure was particularly eye-catching, and Xuan Qi, who was riding on a gale horse, saw her at a glance, and he suddenly became excited, sweeping away the loneliness of many days. Two days ago, as soon as he heard the news that Ning Er was seriously injured because she burned the grain and grass in the west corner, he couldn't wait to immediately attack the city to rescue her, she really didn't abandon herself, he didn't love the wrong person. However, he is the commander of the three armies and must keep himself calm.

At the thought of this, his face became gloomy, he had always been worried about her injury, and when he saw her standing on the tower intact, his heart suddenly felt much lighter.

"Ning'er ......" Xuan Qi shouted, there was irrepressible joy in his voice, and the sound penetrated the whistling wind and passed through the sound of war drums into Ji Qianning's ears.

Ji Qianning saw his sassy heroic posture at a glance, and saw him regain his former glory, and her heart was excited. When I heard his voice, my eyes were a little sour, but I could only try to hide my emotions.

"Ning'er, I'm here to pick you up." After Xuan Qi finished speaking, he rode his horse towards the moat.

Ji Qianning suddenly panicked: "Xuan Qi, don't move forward." She shouted. No, she can't let him have an accident, but there is nothing she can do, what should she do, Xuan Qi will not leave her no matter what, isn't that the trap of Ling Chengzhi? Is it only if he breaks his heart that he will give up? Thinking of this, she glanced at Ling Chengzhi, and immediately stepped forward to take his arm and snuggle in his arms.

Xuan Qi suddenly saw this scene, and immediately froze in place, he thought it was his own illusion, and raised his eyes again, the situation deeply pierced his heart: "This is?" He asked in a low voice, and "Ning'er ......" raised his head again, looked sad, and shouted angrily.

At this time, Ling Chengzhi was extremely surprised, she suddenly couldn't understand what the woman in front of her was doing, but she was inexplicably a little happy in her heart.

Ji Qianning left Ling Chengzhi's embrace, and she could make her tone relaxed: "Xuan Qi, I'm sorry, I still can't forget Ling Chengzhi all these years." She tried to look at Ling Chengzhi with a smile, but her heart was uncomfortable.

"Why?" Xuan Qi didn't want to believe that the words came from her mouth at all.

"I'm sorry."

"You said you'd never leave me, didn't you count any of that?"

Ji Qianning tightened her sleeves, bit her lip, and spit out a word with difficulty: "Yes." ”

Xuan Qi's heart was hit hard, he clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes showed grief, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important, he stared at the woman on the city tower again in disbelief: "All the things in the past are not true?" His eyes were full of anticipation.

Ji Qian's heart was crossed, and he shouted: "Xuan Qi, I am ashamed of you. ”

Xuan Qi, I'm sorry, forgive my duplicity......

"Nope." Xuan Qi shouted angrily, and suddenly a thunderclap accompanied his shout resounded through the sky, and the howling of the wind became louder and louder.

This thunder shocked everyone, Ling Chengzhi suddenly looked at Ji Qianning playfully, and wondered in his heart that she didn't know something, and deliberately was so ruthless to Xuan Qi, but she planned it so carefully, she couldn't have known.

Xuan Qi didn't want to believe her words from beginning to end, and shouted angrily, his legs slapped on the galewind horse, and the horse let out a long roar and galloped forward.

Ji Qianning saw that her ruthless words did not make Xuan Qi flinch, she was anxious, she reprimanded his impulse over and over again in her heart, watching him hurry up, getting closer and closer to the moat, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She glanced to the right, and suddenly had a plan, turned around and quickly grabbed the bow and crossbow in the hands of the red-armored soldier, rushed forward and put it in her hand, accompanied by the rolling thunder, and shouted, "Stop." ”

Xuan Qi's eyes never left her figure, and when he saw the arrow of the crossbow aimed at him, he stopped his horse, closed his eyes, his heart seemed to be suffocated, and he pulled the reins tightly in his palm: "Why?" He questioned again and again in his heart.

Xuan Yi, who followed closely behind Xuan Qi, looked at all this and was puzzled. But when he saw Brother Wang's extremely cold face and red eyes, he was distressed. "What does my sister-in-law mean now, isn't it really a revival of the old love for the third prince, no, no." Even so, the sister-in-law he knew would not be so ruthless.

Su Yi and Dark Night, who knew everything before and after, also began to understand what she was doing.

"Could it be that Miss Ji planned to go to Kowloon City to find Arislan in the first place? But what is the explanation for sending antidotes and burning grain and grass? Su Yi thought about it again and again in his heart.

She never believed that Miss Ji would betray her master.

Su Wei saw his master's painful look at this time, remembered all the injuries his master had suffered because of Ji Qianning over the years, and looked at the woman on the city tower from afar, his eyes were full of resentment.

After a while, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xuan Qi's mouth, and he rode forward again, and at this moment, a sharp arrow roared.

"Brother Wang, be careful......"

"Master, be careful......"

Xuan Qi saw the sharp arrow from afar, and he didn't plan to dodge, he asked over and over again in his heart: "Ning'er, do you really want to be so ruthless?" Letting the sharp arrow penetrate his left shoulder, blood flowed out and disappeared under his black clothes, he ignored the injury, just raised his head, his eyes were fixed on Ji Qianning, a look of disbelief, there was no trace of resentment in his sad and lost eyes.

Ji Qianning slowly put down the hand holding the bow and crossbow, and shot this arrow, she mustered up great courage, at this moment, seeing Xuan Qi's eyes, her heart seemed to be dripping blood, and her throat was a little dry, she swallowed twice, trying to calm herself: "Xuan Qi, you forced me, go, I don't want to see you again." Although her face was as usual, her voice betrayed her panic.

"You really don't want to see me again?" His eyes were still staring at Ji Qianning, who was high up in the distance.

Xuan Yi took a few steps forward and carefully covered his brother's wound, both distressed and anxious, and turned his head to look at Ji Qianning on the city tower, as if to question why she was so abnormal.

Su Yi and Dark Night were shocked in place.

Su Wei hated Ji Qianning at this time.

Ji Qianning clenched her fists, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and took Ling Chengzhi's arm with her left hand again: "Yes, go, don't let me see you again." It turned out that although it was designed not to hurt Xuanqi's vital point, she was still afraid that the arrow would shoot too powerfully, and accidentally seriously injured him, so she used her finger to pad the arrow to increase the resistance and reduce the power, so the finger was pinched alive.

"Okay, I'll answer you." Xuan Qi's heart hurt so much that he was suffocated, but he still looked at her with a smile, "Ning'er, I love you, so I respect your choice, but Ling Chengzhi is not a good choice, I hope you will protect yourself from the beginning, and I hope that from now on, he will treat you well." These words, the proud Xuan Qi did not say them, only muttered to himself in his heart.

A bolt of lightning streaked by, and after a while, with a roaring thunder, a heavy rain poured down.

"Ning'er, take care of yourself." The heavy rain wet his whole body, and after speaking, he pulled out the arrow on his shoulder, and the blood slid down with the rain, and he resolutely turned his horse's head and rushed into the heavy rain. The soldiers along the road avoided a road one after another, allowing His Royal Highness King Ling to pass.

Ji Qianning watched Xuan Qi's lonely and lonely back disappear into blackness, and couldn't hold back any longer, and a line of tears slid down the corner of her eyes along the rain.

Tens of thousands of arrows on the city tower shot into the Chiyan phalanx, and after a while, they were knocked to the ground one after another, and the soldiers of Chiyan and Beiyue shouted, marching with neat steps, singing sonorous and powerful ballads in the majestic rain, maintaining the last dignity of His Highness.

Watching them go away, Ji Qianning decisively let go of the hand holding Ling Chengzhi's arm. Ling Chengzhi took off his cloak and put it on top of her head, watching Chiyan withdraw his troops, his plan fell through, and no matter how unwilling he was, he didn't dare to rashly go out of the city to pursue. He suddenly looked at Ji Qianning, and he didn't believe that she knew anything in advance, and deliberately forced Xuan Qi to leave.

Sometimes, overconfidence can push you into the abyss......

He couldn't figure it out, she who helped Xuan Qi burn grain and grass two days ago, would be so ruthless to him today, even at the expense of being ruthless, he suddenly couldn't read the woman in front of him, and couldn't understand her mind.

"Xiao Ning, you have changed, and you don't know this king."

"Third Prince, haven't you changed?"

Ling Chengzhi was speechless for a while.

"The world will change, so why bother me to remain the same?"

Seeing her indifferent look, the playfulness in Ling Chengzhi's eyes deepened.

The rain has not stopped at all.
