Nalan Jinxiu knew that it was useless to say more, Qu Lianbing was determined not to save Xu Jince. When she was free, she discussed countermeasures with Qu Qingjia, and in the end, she could only bring Xu Jince back first.

When Nalan Jinxiu and his party returned, Pingcheng had already been captured by the Northern Yan people. All around were the Northern Yan people chasing and killing the remaining remnants of the soldiers, as well as those unarmed people.

"You can't stay here for long, hurry up and take Mr. away!" Ge Feng shouted at Mu Li.

Their team is all elite and has good skills, and it is not difficult to rush out. But Nalan Jinxiu was worried about Ji Hongxuan, and he said that he would wait for her to come back in Pingcheng, so he would definitely wait for her here: "Let's go to the yamen and see if there is anyone inside." ”

"Sir, you see that there is chaos here, it's too dangerous, let's take the young marshal away first!"

"Find General Ji and Qiufu Yin first, and take them away together. ”

"I'll take someone to find it, and you and Mu Li will go first with the young marshal. Ge Yun counted the number of people and prepared to divide the troops into two ways.

Nalan Jinxiu knew that she couldn't help now, but there weren't many of them, and if they were separated again, it would be a matter of whether they could rush out, so in the end she refused.

The scenes along the way are unsightly, the Northern Yan people are thirsty for killing, but wherever they appear, they are burning, killing and looting, and they do all kinds of evil. Nalan Jinxiu stayed in the carriage with Xu Jince, she looked at the scene outside, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

When I arrived at the yamen, there were still soldiers guarding it, there was a four-story wooden building in the yamen, and there was a row of archers standing at the commanding heights, and the Beiyan people had no way for a while.

Ge Yun had a strip of bright red cloth tied around his wrist, and the knotting method was very special, which could be said to be a sign of their shocking clouds.

The yamen opened the door, and Qiu Chiwen was stunned for a moment when he saw Nalan Jinxiu, then returned to normal and shouted: "Bai Jian Jun." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "What about General Ji?"

"On the wooden floor. ”

"Pingcheng looks like he can't hold it, count the number of people and let's leave first. ”

Qiu Chiwen's face flashed with pain again, and he said in a dumb voice: "I have the trust of the world. ”

"It's a long time coming, a momentary failure doesn't prove anything, and one day we will come back. Nalan Jinxiu's words were more like saying to himself.

"What about the prince?" Qiu Chiwen knew that Xu Jince was already the hope of Northern Xinjiang, and it was more like his last trace of spiritual support.

"The son of the world is injured and needs to recuperate. ”

Qiu Chiwen looked at the carriage with a worried look in his eyes.

"Shizi is seriously injured, and it is inconvenient to see people for the time being, so I will go to General Ji first. ”

Seeing that Qiu Chiwen didn't say anything more, Nalan Jinxiu's heart fell back. The appearance of the elder brother now, if others see it and spread it, I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army. Now it can only be concealed for a while.

"Sixth brother, I'm back. Nalan Jinxiu saw Ji Hongxuan standing at the top of the wooden building, looking into the distance, presumably observing the situation in the city.

When Ji Hongxuan heard her voice, his body stiffened at first, and then turned around with an expression of disbelief: "Are you back?"

He thought that her trip to Nanchu would be more auspicious, so at this moment she really stood by his side, but he didn't dare to believe it.

Seeing his stupid appearance, Nalan Jinxiu smiled reluctantly: "I'm back." ”

"Where's my brother?"

"Also back. ”

"That's good. Ji Hongxuan nodded, and when he saw that Nalan Jinxiu was standing too close to the railing, he reached out and pulled her to the back: "Don't go to the front, the front is too dangerous." ”

"Aren't we leaving?" Nalan Jinxiu saw that he was completely trying to resist to the end, and had no intention of leaving.

"There is no way out. ”

"This place is already surrounded by the Northern Yan people, are you going to be a trapped beast? ”

Ji Hongxuan also knew that the situation was not optimistic at this time, but he always remembered Xu Jince's teachings, as a general, he could not abandon the city and flee, especially if there were still people in the city.

"You should have seen it when you just came up from below, and many people are in the yamen. If I wanted to rush out with them, it was almost impossible, and I couldn't leave them alone. ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know what it was like in her heart: "But the result of your stay is nothing more than dying with them." Is this sacrifice worthwhile?"

"Maybe not! But the Xuanjia Army is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and when foreign enemies invade, even if we die in battle, we must not abandon the people. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was about to speak, but was stopped by Ji Hongxuan: "I think these soldiers and I have the same idea, and we don't necessarily lose, the fifth brother has already gone to ask for help." ”

"Whom, if they were willing to do it, they wouldn't have waited until today. ”

Ji Hongxuan looked at the land under his feet, looked at the flags that belonged to Beiyan, and said coldly: "If you can protect them for a while, you can protect them for a while." Pingcheng is already the last barrier arranged by my brother, if we withdraw now, then the Northern Yan people will drive straight in, and the northern frontier will really fall into the hands of the enemy completely. ”

"Brother has also left the Xuanjia Army on the flank, and we should go and join them now. ”

The two of them have their own opinions, and neither of them can convince anyone. Ji Hongxuan's final decision was to let a team of people take Xu Jince and Nalan Jinxiu first.

"No!" Nalan Jinxiu knew that if he left, they would never have a chance to see each other again.

Ji Hongxuan was very calm at this moment, he didn't have any other expression on his face, and he looked more and more like an indifferent general. When he touched Nalan Jinxiu's gaze, his expression melted a little, and his voice softened a little: "Obedient, go first." ”

"I'm not leaving. Nalan Jinxiu shook her head, she held back her tears, and said in a dumb voice: "Father has gone, brother is seriously injured, you can't do anything anymore." ”

"Jin'er, I really can't leave these people behind, otherwise I won't be at ease in my life. Three have said that the most important thing in life is to have a clear conscience. ”

"Okay, then my brother and I will stay. ”

Ji Hongxuan was helpless: "You are obedient." ”

Nalan Jinxiu's attitude was equally resolute: "If something happens to you when I leave, I will have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life." Since it's all about having a clear conscience, let's get it all together. ”

"Nonsense!" Ji Hongxuan spoke to her in a reprimanding tone for the first time: "You are not alone now, don't you even care about your brother?"

"Aren't you different and don't care about me?"

"You ......" Ji Hongxuan found that she was really sharp-toothed, and he couldn't say anything about her at all. He turned to his own soldiers and said, "Go and call Qiu Chiwen and Ge Yun, just say that I have something important to tell them." ”

Ji Hongxuan entered the house after speaking, and did not let Nalan Jinxiu follow. She was forcibly detained, and in the end, it was her and Xu Jince, who were escorted out by the remaining twenty-one people in Jingyun.

She knew that Pingcheng would not last for a few days, and Ji Hongxuan had already made up her mind to die. She used all her strength to break free from Ge Yun's control, hugged Ji Hongxuan and cried, "You come with me!"

Ji Hongxuan hugged her very hard, so strong that he could almost rub her into his body. He said in a hoarse voice, "Promise me that I must live well, and you must remember that I like you and have always liked you." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Nalan Jinxiu to reply, he directly pushed her out of his arms, and then shouted to the group of Jingyun: "I handed them over to you, send them to Lu Xiuya." ”

No matter how sad Nalan Jinxiu was in her heart, no matter how hard she cried, Ji Hongxuan didn't look back after all. There is also a particularly sad emotion spreading in his heart, but when a man stands in the world, he can't just think about the love of his children.

Nalan Jinxiu sat in the carriage in despair, listening to the movement outside, and knew that the road was very difficult. They all fled, so what about the rest of the people of Northern Xinjiang and the Xuanjia Army? Do they all want to be the souls of the Northern Yan people?

Afterwards, she suddenly thought of the "Shocking Cloud Order", and then her body trembled, and after the battle between heaven and man for a while, she still decided to let Ge Yun go to Jincheng.

Ge Yun was ordered by Ji Hongxuan to send her and the prince to Lu Xiuya safely, so it was naturally impossible to agree. Nalan Jinxiu had no choice but to take out the token, which was given to her by the King of Zhenbei before his death.

"You should know what this thing is, my father gave it to me in the first place, just to make you listen to me. "What Nalan Jinxiu has in his hands is indeed the dispatch of the members of the Amazing Clouds, so they naturally dare not disobey.

Pingcheng is far away from Jincheng, and it will take two days and two nights to return even if the horse is fast. Nalan Jinxiu hoped that Ji Hongxuan could hold out until then, and she kept telling herself that he would definitely be able to wait for her to come back.

She got the Gu worm from Jincheng, and when she rushed to Pingcheng, she was still hesitating whether to use this thing. Her father had told her that if she used the Shocking Order, there would be no room for maneuver. But her hesitation was completely gone after she arrived in Pingcheng.

The yamen of Pingcheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the institutions built by Xu Jince before made the Northern Yan people suffer a big loss. Moreover, the Northern Yan people are the best at riding and shooting, and their advantages in the plains can be maximized, but as soon as they enter the street battle, the disadvantage is obvious.

After a long attack, they began to adopt other methods, wanting to provoke the Xuanjia army in the yamen and make them stop holding on. There is nothing difficult to think of in this method, it is nothing more than catching some ordinary people to abuse and kill.

What made them collapse the most was that the Northern Yan people somehow caught Qiu Chiwen's child. The little boy was cowered in the nurse's arms and was pierced by their shots.

The nurse maintained a protective posture before she died. And the little boy who had a relationship with Nalan Jinxiu, no matter how intimidated the Beiyan people, he never cried before he died, and he also shouted that he was afraid.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at Qiu Chiwen, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a strong hatred. But he still didn't let the city gate be opened, and he was still holding on, still waiting for reinforcements.

The reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, but Ji Honghuan was hung in front of the army by the Northern Yan. Tuoba Tao, who had not shown up for a long time, finally appeared. He sat on a high stride and said slowly: "I said that you people from the Daning Dynasty are really stupid, since you can't invite reinforcements, then why do you want to come back?
