As the heavy rain became heavier and heavier, the battle between the two armies became more and more intense.

The soldiers of the Yun State were full of courage, and the army of the Qi State also swore to resist to the death, so the two armies have been entangled and deadlocked.

Although the Qi army has no way back, in the end, it is the "eagle" brought out by Qi Hao, so it will naturally not give in and compromise so easily.

Qi Hao was helped into the cave by the soldiers to avoid the rain, he leaned against the mountain wall behind him and the outside as if the line was broken, pouring rain, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were heavy.

Why does it hurt at this critical moment?

I don't know why, Qi Hao remembered that Gu Jinli had checked his pulse a few days ago and asked him this question.

At that time, her expression was a little unnatural, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that she was embarrassed to show her concern for him.

She is a skilled doctor, will she know the reason for this?

And, before parting that night, she ran out of bed and unexpectedly gave him a kiss.

That kiss, will it ......

I still couldn't believe that Gu Jinli would use that inexplicable kiss to attack herself.

Pressing his hand to his chest, his bloodless face looked complicated and heavy.

Slowly closing his eyes, he didn't want to think about the confusion of that night, the joy of fish and water, because his heart would hurt even more.

Moreover, now is not the time to think about these things, the most important thing is to solve the crisis of being besieged first.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and Qi Hao's brows were furrowed more and more tightly.

The sound of the rain accompanied by the screams of the soldiers stirred his heart.

The two sides continued to entangle at the valley mouth until late at night, still refusing to give in to each other and fighting each other desperately.

At the same time, in the Fuyuan Courtyard, Qin Feng reported the battle situation that had just been transmitted back to Gu Jinli: "Although Mrs. Wei has developed an antidote from your prescription, the prince is ...... Somehow, Wang Ye suddenly felt unwell when he was fighting with Pang Feng and fell off his horse. ”

"The prince was seriously injured by Pang Feng and was besieged into the valley."

"Now the situation is very crisis, I am afraid of ......"

After many years of fighting on the battlefield, Qi Hao has always led his soldiers to besiege others, and this is the first time he has been besieged, which is really unbelievable.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli took a deep breath and asked slowly, "How many enemy troops are there?" ”

Qin Feng whispered with a worried face: "Excluding those poisoned soldiers, we still have more than 100,000 people, half more than the enemy army." ”

"However, the prince was worried that when he led people to fight in front, Pang Feng would send another person to attack the rear, so he left half of the people for Du Jiang and Liang Kuan."

Gu Jinli said "um", and was silent for a while before saying, "I know." ”

Qin Feng saw that Gu Jinli didn't speak again, so he retreated.

At the same time as the door was closed, a person flashed in the back window, so frightened that Gu Jinli was about to open her mouth to shout, but she closed suddenly.

Chen Zexuan stood in the dark shadow, looking at Gu Jinli with a pair of narrow eyes.

Gu Jinli couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but he could vaguely distinguish the color of the clothes by the candlelight.

Hooking his lips, Chen Zexuan's voice was soft but with a hint of coolness: "The prescription for detoxification, you prescribed it?" ”

Thinking that Chen Zexuan must have heard everything he and Qin Feng said just now, Gu Jinli didn't bother talking to him, and directly admitted happily: "Yes." ”

thought that Gu Jinli would take into account each other's affection and explain it euphemistically, even if she didn't explain, she would lie in order to take care of his emotions.

However, she just admitted it and didn't even bother to tell him a lie, what does it mean?

The fire in his heart was ignited instantly, Chen Zexuan strode in front of Gu Jinli, grabbed her wrist, and his eyes pressed at her: "Why?" ”

Because Chen Zexuan's hand strength was a little strong, Gu Jinli was a little painful.

She struggled a few times, and this action looked like disgust and resistance in Chen Zexuan's eyes: "Sheng'er, are you in love with him again?" ”

"Don't forget, he is our enemy, if it weren't for him, your face and martial arts would not be ......"

"Enough!" Gu Jinli's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he shook off Chen Zexuan's hand vigorously, and the aura around him was so cold that it could condense the air into ice.

Probably, there are so many lies that I have forgotten about myself.

In the past two years, Mo Li has been muttering in front of Gu Jinli and Chen Zexuan that Gu Jinli's face was disfigured by Qi Hao, and his martial arts were abolished by Qi Hao.

So much so that in a fit of rage, he didn't choose what to say.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Chen Zexuan actually saw a little hatred in Gu Jinli's eyes.

His hand froze in the air, and he said in a daze: "Sheng'er? ”

Gu Jinli clutched her sleeves tightly, trying to suppress her anger.

She had been deceived by lies for two years, she had lived in hellish darkness for two years, and this hatred that had been instilled for two years was like being choked by the throat and suffocating to madness.

She turned her back, unwilling to let her emotions be revealed in front of Chen Zexuan again.

"Brother, you didn't tell me about poisoning Qi Hao's army." Changing the topic, Gu Jinli didn't want to tear her face with Chen Zexuan right now.

After all, last day, she just looked sincere with him as a "brother and sister affection".

is reasonable, there should be no dispute over a Qi Hao.

Therefore, Gu Jinli had no choice but to direct her anger to Chen Zexuan to poison herself.

Let Chen Zexuan know that he was not angry for Qi Hao, but that Chen Zexuan acted alone and was dishonest to her.

The reason why she prescribed prescriptions for those hundreds of thousands of troops was naturally justified: "I gave Qi Hao a prescription because Qin Feng came to beg me, but it was just for show." ”

"Even if Qin Feng doesn't look for me, the old emperor will definitely send someone to let me prescribe a prescription."

"Maybe, and let someone take me to the front line directly."

After a pause, she continued: "I don't know what kind of poison my brother has given, so the prescription is not just to fool them, and it won't have any effect. ”

"Moreover, Qi Hao is now besieged, even if he has to wait for someone to rescue, he can't wait for those poisoned soldiers to recover."

Chen Zexuan's eyes stared at Gu Jinli's face without blinking, and he couldn't guess whether her words were sincere, "Sheng'er, I'm hiding it from you, because I don't think there is any need for you to interfere in this matter." ”

"No, my brother is afraid that I can't bear Qi Hao, right?" Gu Jinli turned her face and raised her eyes to look at Chen Zexuan quietly.

Chen Zexuan moved his lips before he said, "Yes." ”

Although they just met yesterday, Chen Zexuan felt that it would be better to come over in person and tell her about Gu Chengen's defection to the Eighth Prince.

First, she had to know about this matter sooner or later, and instead of knowing it from others, it was better to tell her herself, otherwise there would inevitably be a suspicion of hiding it from her.

Second, Gu Chengen is now a staff member of the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince is in the same boat as them on the surface, although the Eighth Prince has already had two hearts, but Gu Chengen is a dangerous existence, inform Gu Jinli, so that she can be on guard.

Gu Chengen of the province became frantic one day and hurt her.

Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, he would hear the conversation in the room?

Qi Hao, it is really an obstacle between their brother and sister.

Gu Jinli stood up straight and said slowly: "Brother, there are some mistakes, I won't make a second mistake." ”

It was impossible for her to tell Chen Zexuan that because she had recovered her memory, it was impossible for her to continue to be deceived by him and Mo Li.

She remembered everything before she had with Qi Hao, so it might not be so easy for Chen Zexuan to lie to her again.

These words made Chen Zexuan think that she was referring to not falling in love with Qi Hao again, so he answered: "Sheng'er, brother will ...... in the future I won't hide anything from you anymore. ”

Gu Jinli nodded, but her tone changed sharply and asked, "Did that brother hide anything from me before?" ”

Her eyes were cold and clean, spotless so that people didn't dare to lie.

Chen Zexuan's throat tightened, and he said with difficulty: "No." ”

One lie has to be compensated for with countless lies.

He couldn't, and he didn't know how to tell her about those things.

You can't open your mouth, and you can't open your mouth.

Gu Jinli's heart welled up with a deep sense of disappointment, she pulled her lips and smiled reluctantly, "That's good." ”

Sitting down again, she no longer looked at Chen Zexuan, and said in a light tone: "What is the matter with my brother coming back so late?" ”

Chen Zexuan saw Gu Jinli's businesslike appearance, so he had no choice but to say: "Gu Chengen took refuge in the Eighth Prince. ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli was stunned and fell into deep thought.

Under the knees of the old emperor, now there are only Qi Hao and the eighth prince.

Then, Gu Chengengou survived but did not have any intention of leaving Beijing, but took refuge in the Eighth Prince, which shows that he wanted to go against Qi Hao.

"I came to tell you about this, and now that you know, I won't disturb your rest." There was an unpleasant scene just now, and although the smell of gunpowder in the air was a little lighter, the atmosphere was still somewhat awkward.

Chen Zexuan said, turned around and was about to leave.

He thought that Gu Jinli would say something more, but he walked to the window and didn't wait for her to speak.

Laughing at himself, he climbed out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Gu Jinli needs to think about a lot of things, Qi Hao, who is uncertain about victory or defeat, Gu Chengen, who has bad intentions, Chen Zexuan, who is half-truthful, and Mo Li, who is full of nonsense.

She rubbed her brow, feeling tired.

With a long sigh, she couldn't think of a solution to so many questions, so she could only pray for the time being that Qi Hao would come back alive.

In the palace, after the old emperor got the news of the front line from Gonggong Jia, he was so shocked that he almost fainted.

Qi Hao is the best son in his heart, a person who has never lost a battle, how could he be picked off the horse by an old general of Yun Kingdom?

Anxious and annoyed, the old emperor sent Gonggong Jia to immediately send 100,000 troops to support Qi Hao.

It's just that Qi Hao is like being on the line between life and death, even if the 100,000 army has wings, it is impossible to fly to Qi Hao's side in the blink of an eye and solve his predicament.

However, it is impossible for the old emperor to do nothing, so wouldn't this make Qi Hao fall into an isolated and helpless place?

While the 100,000-strong army set off overnight, Du Jiang had already rushed to the valley with 30,000 elite soldiers to rescue Qi Hao.

The poisoned soldiers have all been detoxified, but 20,000 or 30,000 people did not make it to the end.

However, the people who have saved 1120,000 people are really favored by God.

Du Jiang left more than 40,000 people in the camp, and Liang Kuan sat in the barracks, waiting for Qi Hao to return with the soldiers.

The stagnant water in the valley had lost its calves, and when Du Jiang arrived, it was no longer rain on the ground, but blood water.

The night was so dark that it was impossible to see whether the corpses on the ground were enemy or ours.

There was no food in the valley, and the soldiers looking for the exit could not find a way out, so if Qi Hao continued to sit and wait for death, then he would really die here.

So, after the pain in his heart had eased considerably, he charged forward again, despite the opposition of the soldiers.

Pang Feng saw that Qi Hao had come out by himself, and sneered: "General Ben thought that Prince Ning would continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head!" ”

Qi Hao ignored Pang Feng's cynicism, he directly stabbed Pang Feng with his spear.

"Da Da Da", suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves.

"Lord Wang!"

After Qi Hao heard Du Jiang's voice, he avoided Pang Feng's spear and shouted without looking back: "Why are you here?" Didn't you stay in the barracks? ”

"Don't worry, the soldiers' poison has been cured! They'll be there later! As he spoke, Du Jiang had already stabbed two soldiers to death with the spear in his hand.

When Pang Feng heard this, he said angrily: "Damn! ”

The disgusting thing is that Du Jiang actually brought people to support Qi Hao, so Qi Hao has more soldiers than himself.

The odious thing is that the poison of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers has been cured, and they and their soldiers will definitely die at that moment!

Of course, Du Jiang also said this on purpose, so as to make Pang Feng panic.

When the soldiers of the Kingdom of Qi, who were about to be unable to hold on, saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was immediately boosted, and they returned to a majestic and high-spirited state.

The situation immediately reversed, and the soldiers of the Cloud Kingdom were crushed terribly.

"Lord Wang, you go back first, and leave it to your subordinates here!" Du Jiang kicked over the little soldier who was about to sneak attack Qi Hao, stepped forward in front of him, and blocked Pang Feng's head-on shot for Qi Hao.

The two guns collided together, and sparks were instantly rubbed together.

Qi Hao didn't have to succeed, he was drenched in the rain, and he consumed so much physical strength just now, if he could rest, it would be excellent.

He still has to go back to see Gu Jinli, so naturally he has to take good care of his body.

Just when Du Jiang thought that Qi Hao would refuse, and Pang Feng thought that Qi Hao would not escape, he heard him say "yes", and then really withdrew to go far away.

Finding a place to shelter from the rain, he watched the battle silently like an outsider.

Pang Feng is not happy, fighting against Du Jiang, where is the pleasure of stabbing the enemy?

Glaring at Qi Hao angrily, Pang Feng scolded: "Qi Hao, there is a kind of you who beat General Ben, don't hide behind people and pretend to be a grandson!" ”

first poisoned, and then injured Qi Hao, Du Jiang already hated Pang Feng to the core, and now he heard him speak disrespectfully to Qi Hao, so as soon as he made a move, he knocked his hair crown to the ground, "You don't need our prince to do it, grandpa and I can beat you into a grandson!" ”

Su Rili Du Jiang was calm and introverted, words like this were like "wild words" coming out of Qin Feng's mouth, which showed that he was really angry to the extreme.

After that, he knocked Pang Feng to the ground three or two times.

The spear shot straight and stabbed Pang Feng in many places.

Although Pang Feng is old, he is a tough guy no matter what.

He got up from the ground, and didn't want to get on the bar with Du Jiang as if he was dead, but he was kicked over again.

Pang Feng's lieutenant general saw that his main general was kicked to the ground by a yellow-haired boy who had not dried up, and the soldiers of Yun Kingdom were falling at an extremely fast speed, so his voice trembled: "Old general, let's withdraw!" ”

"Our barracks...... It was served! ”

Not long after Du Jiang brought people to rescue Qi Hao, Liang Kuan actually took the initiative to send 10,000 elite soldiers to raid Pang Feng's rear.

Pang Feng's rear was served by a pot, and now it was like a battle of trapped beasts, making a futile and useless struggle to the death.

If it continues to be consumed, then the entire army will be wiped out by the Cloud Kingdom.

"No, General Ben must ...... even if he dies" Without waiting for Pang Feng's words to finish, the adjutant general slashed Pang Feng on the back of the neck with a knife, knocked him unconscious, and was about to flee when he picked him up.

"Want to run? It's not that easy! Du Jiang snorted coldly, pestering endlessly, and the spear blocked the way of the lieutenant general.

The soldiers of Yunguo worked together to clear the way for the lieutenant general, but he really escaped by taking advantage of the loophole.

Seeing this, Du Jiang led people to chase after him again.

It didn't take much effort, Pang Feng and the deputy general were tied up by Du Jiang.

The soldiers of Yunguo who were swearing to resist the enemy saw that their commander and deputy generals were captured, so they were very unwilling to be captured.

The battle was over, the rain was light, and the sky was bright.

Qi Hao rode on his horse and asked unhurriedly about the situation in the barracks last night.

After learning that the prescription was given by Gu Jinli, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he was replaced by a piece of gentleness.

Although he had suspected that his angina was related to Gu Jinli, he later chose to believe her.

Now he is glad that he is not so impulsive to doubt her, and he is even more moved by her silent "giving".

She did not sit idly by, nor did she fall into the well, but helped her save hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

When he returned, he had a lot to say to her.

Pang Feng and the lieutenant were tied to a rope and guarded by special soldiers.

The two of them walked on the muddy road like mourning dogs.

Pang Feng once wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but was discovered earlier, so he removed his chin and could only open his mouth and curse vaguely.

More than an hour later, Qi Hao returned to the barracks.

Liang Kuan looked at Qi Hao, whose hair was messy with red eyes and blue under his eyes, knelt on the ground with tears and many soldiers and saluted him.

Qi Hao smiled, and then began to work on the post-war work.

For example, counting people and materials, disposing of corpses, and taking prisoners.

As for Pang Feng and the deputy general, they had to go back to Beijing with Qi Hao and be dealt with by the old emperor.

The news of Prince Ning's victory once again made the people of Qi Kingdom boil.

This is far more exciting than the previous victory, because it seems that the previous victory was too easy, everyone is used to it, and there are no surprises.

And this time it was different, it was the poisoning of the army again, and it was besieged or something, it was really a twist and turn.

In such a predicament, Qi Hao won, isn't this more able to make people feel the joy of victory?

Of course, on the other hand, it can also show that the people of Qi are indeed full of food and want to find some excitement.

Fortunately, this stimulus is not a failure.

Otherwise, everyone will become slaves of the country.

The soldiers sent by the old emperor to support last night had not yet arrived, and Qi Hao had already won, which made the old emperor who was waiting in the palace very happy.

He plucked his heart all night, and he didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that he would hear some bad news again.

Now that the big stone in my heart is gone, I can make up for sleep with peace of mind.

Gu Jinli also had a night, she stayed up until dawn with her eyes open, and when she heard Ah Qiao say that Qi Hao had won, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes with a yawn.

Gu Jinli didn't fall asleep, and so did Chen Zexuan.

After learning that Gu Jinli sent Qi Hao to understand the poison prescription, he guessed that there would be this result.

After sitting in his chair all night, he tried to empty his head and not to think about it.

Because, the more I think about it, the more chaotic it becomes.

If his mind is disturbed, then he can't think of a way to deal with it.

What if Qi Hao wins, whether he can return to Beijing is one thing.

"Shizi." At this time, Lei Zi came in and said in a low voice: "The Eighth Prince sent someone to send a message and ask if you are going to start working?" ”

Chen Zexuan narrowed his eyes and nodded heavily: "Do it!" ”

"Yes, Shizi." Lei Zi answered, and when he turned around to go out, he was stopped by Chen Zexuan again.

"Wait." Chen Zexuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Tell the Eighth Prince, don't worry too much, everything is under the control of this prince." ”

After Lei Zi left, Chen Zexuan clenched his fists and said word by word: "Qi Hao, this time it is your fate." ”

"However, the outcome is undecided, and you are only good if you can have the last laugh."

The old emperor made up for his sleep, and an earth-shattering news exploded in Beijing with lightning speed.

It turned out that someone had dug up a large rock deep in the ground in the woods west of the city.

The stone looked like it was quite old, and there was a sentence engraved on it, which was faint but barely legible.

It's just that the text is a string of ancient characters that people can't understand.

It is not surprising that there is a large stone engraved with letters, but the most interesting thing is that at the moment when the stone was dug up, a purple light suddenly appeared from the ground and soared into the sky.

There is an old warlock who happened to pass by the woods, pinched his fingers, and the purple qi came from the east, which was an auspicious omen.

Looking at the words on the stone again, the old warlock exclaimed even more that this stone was amazing.

The onlookers asked the reason, and the old warlock only said one sentence in an unfathomable way: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

The more mysterious things are, the more people can't stop imagining gossip.

Somehow, the words on the stone that heralded the true dragon and the Son of Heaven spread.

Some people say that it is Qi Hao, who won the battle, and some people say that it is the eighth prince.

Because, when the old warlock muttered in that sentence, there seemed to be a word "Ze" in it.

The name of the eighth prince is "Qi Ze", who would he be if he wasn't?

These nonsense will never reach the ears of the old emperor.

However, even many ministers in the court began to discuss it, and the old emperor had to pay attention to it.

Gonggong Jia personally carried the big stone into the palace with someone, and the old emperor took a look at it, but he couldn't recognize the words on it.

I found the two most knowledgeable and well-informed scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and after studying for more than half an hour, and after consulting a subset of scriptures and histories, they finally came up with a result.

Long Yu Zehua, destiny returns.

Many ministers who were keen on gossip consciously entered the palace, and while watching the excitement, they discussed in a very small voice that the true dragon son in this prophecy must be the eighth prince.

The old emperor looked at the ministers who were talking to each other and whispering, and fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Guo Mingshun, who had just been promoted to prime minister for a few days, knelt down and said with a sincere expression: "The reappearance of the divine stone in the world must be the will of God." ”

"The position of the crown prince has been vacant for many years, and the minister implores the emperor to establish the prince as soon as possible for the sake of the country of Qi!"

As soon as he knelt, Peng Juhuai, Jiang Shangshu and other important ministers of the court also knelt down, and said in unison: "Ministers, beg the emperor to appoint the prince early!" ”
