One day and one night, the cold sword guard did not rest for a moment, Xuan Shaoning's performance along the way Zhang Hanshan saw it in his eyes, in his opinion, Xuan Shaoning was concerned about his family and country, but in Rouge's view, it seemed to have a deep meaning, she could feel who Xuan Shaoning was worried about, but who it was she was difficult to find out, what she could do was to follow him closely, so that she could keep him for a long time.

"At this rate, we will be able to reach the capital in another day." Shi Gong Zhengyuan said, Duan Lang looked at Xuan Shaoning's back and muttered, "The key is that we have to maintain a non-stop speed around the clock. ”

How could Xuan Shaoning not know what the adverse consequences of such a desperate day and night gallop would be for the army, in fact, he didn't want to pull the whole army to be the same as himself. At this time, he also had to say, "I understand that everyone has worked too hard since this day, and no one can bear to travel for a day and a night, so let's find a safe place to rest for a night, right?" ”

Zhang Hanshan looked at Xuan Shaoning, looked at himself, and finally began to exercise his responsibilities as the commander of the first army, "Rest in the woods ahead tonight, everyone will rest well, and continue to rush tomorrow!" ”

This order made the soldiers of the Han Dao Guard finally take a breath, once the tense nerves were relaxed, it was difficult to control the sleepiness, and it didn't take long for the snoring to sound in the camp, but Xuan Shaoning didn't feel sleepy at all, he always looked south.

"No sleepiness?"

Xuan Shaoning turned around and saw Rouge and nodded, "It's not too early, you go and rest, with me here, you can rest assured." ”

"I'm not at ease, it's not because I don't believe in your abilities, it's you who I'm not worried about. After a day and a night, do you plan to continue to suffer? When you arrive in the capital, it will inevitably be a tough battle, if your body is not tough, how can you fight? ”

"I understand what you say, but I just can't sleep right now, and my heart is in the capital."

"You take care of it a little, this world is not your alone, any people and things are not just on you, and you are the whole world to me, and you are the only person I can rely on." Rouge leaned her head on Xuan Shaoning's shoulder as she spoke, and for some reason she was in tears, and tears slowly flowed down Xuan Shaoning's shoulder.

Xuan Shaoning's heart swelled with guilt for rouge, he could only hug her into his arms, warm her with his body temperature, and use his body to shield her from the wind and rain, this is what he wants to do, but the reality often backfires.

The night began to darken, but the capital was still as noisy and lively as usual, but it was very different from the usual, and this difference was reflected in the fact that the noise was not created by the people but caused by the battle between the two armies. The offensive and defensive battles continued from dawn in the morning to night, and four of the nine gates of the capital had been lost, and the Lower Tang army began to march through the Guoren area towards the imperial city.

Along the way, Yong Wuyi paid attention to the movements of Wu Yuzhu and the Xiliang Army, and the information he got was that the Xiliang Army had captured Anping Gate, but it was not clear what the problem was, and the Xiliang Army only controlled this Anping Gate and did not advance further; As for the end of the army, it is still standing still.

I can't care so much, there is no action on either side, so let me be mediocre to complete the feat of destroying the country! Yong Wujian will not fail to guard against the armies on both sides, but he must focus more on the Liang Dynasty army, even if they currently occupy the initiative in the war, he has already expected that the imperial city will definitely be a vicious battle, that is their bottom line.

Is that really the case? Yan Keran took hundreds of royal guards towards the Skylark Terrace, as the highest place in the imperial city, the Skylark Terrace will be lit with cloud dragon lanterns at night, which is a towering cloud lantern standing on the ground, not only beautiful and bright, can illuminate the Skylark Terrace like a daytime, such an arrangement does not appear every day, only on the fifteenth day of the month.

Looking at the Skylark Terrace in the distance, it is bright, and the time is not fifteen, so what other explanation can there be? When Yan Keran was some distance away from the Skylark Terrace, he arranged for Jiang Weizhen to protect Yunxuan and stay in place, while he took the main force towards the Skylark Terrace. With such an arrangement, even if Yun Xuan was unwilling, she couldn't disobey Ke Ran, she could only stand in place and watch him leave.

There was still no one near the steps of the Skylark Terrace, but Ke Ran didn't dare to be careless at all, every step was like walking on thin ice, watching and listening to all directions along the way, and when he stepped on the Skylark Terrace, he found that there were not many real enemies and they were quite far away, and he could only vaguely see some shadows.

The shadows in the distance were waving, indeed beckoning, beckoning to themselves. Yan Keran saw that he had been exposed, so he didn't care about speeding up and coming to the middle of the Skylark Terrace, and the reality he saw clearly was that Emperor Liang and the Empress were standing in front of him first, and behind them were more than a dozen people, these people's military uniforms were forbidden troops, and the person headed by these people was Chen Yuanzhi.

The light of the tip of the knife shone in the night, Yan Keran didn't dare to act without permission, he could only shout at Chen Yuanzhi: "Chen Yuanzhi, you are disobeying the power of heaven and betraying the country to seek glory!" As the commander of the Forbidden Army, you deserve to be killed for doing such a thing! ”

"The horse master is still so straightforward in his speech, whether I disobey the power of heaven or betray the country to seek glory, the truth has always been in the hands of the winner, as for what will happen to the loser, I don't think I need to remind the horse, right?" Chen Yuanzhi said proudly as he pressed the tip of his knife against Emperor Liang's throat.

"Daring, you dog minion!" Emperor Liang's angry face turned crimson, but fortunately he couldn't see Chen Yuanzhi's face, otherwise he would have trembled with anger even more. Empress Cui Danyan looked at Emperor Liang with infinite worry, what she was most worried about was Emperor Liang's life.

"The dog slave also has a day to turn over and be the master, your Majesty, how did you win this throne You are like a mirror in your heart! You are scolding the slave here, the slave is bearable, but compared to the emperor's wrist, the slave is still far behind. ”

Although Yan Keran's eyes were staring at Chen Yuanzhi, his eyes had already taken into account the surroundings of the Skylark Terrace, and he expected that Chen Yuanzhi would definitely not dare to come with such a few people to threaten him, and there would definitely be an ambush nearby.

"Master Pony, are you looking to see if there is an ambush around? With the intelligence of the horse master, how could he not know that there must be an ambush on the Skylark Terrace? But isn't the horse master here yet? Since you're here, don't take the ambush too seriously. Chen Yuanzhi frankly admitted the ambush, and the laughter and slapstick between his words were not serious at all.

In this way, Ke Ran was calm, and he asked Chen Yuanzhi: "You must have your purpose in holding the emperor hostage and luring me here, don't waste time, hurry up!" ”

"Horse master is refreshing! I originally didn't plan to let you come to Skylark Terrace alive, after all, it would be forever to wipe out all of you at the city gate, but some people disagreed, and I could only obey his orders, which allowed you to survive until now, otherwise you would have ended up like those royal guards! ”

Yan Keran's eyes widened, he saw a shadow slowly turning behind Chen Yuanzhi, this shadow was originally Chen Yuanzhi's shadow, but when the shadow came out of Chen Yuanzhi's body, he found out that this shadow was actually the person he had encountered in Jinchuanmen!

The man was dressed in a gray robe and could not see any face or body, and appeared on the lark platform like a ghost. It's too familiar, I just met this person in Jinchuan Gate, and it was this person who shot Xiao Moyan, but I didn't expect this person to appear here.

"Master Ma Ma will give you a chance to fight with Lord Huangfu, otherwise," Chen Yuanzhi said, picking the tip of the knife open the skin of Emperor Liang's throat, and blood began to slowly ooze out.

"Without further ado, what are you going to do?"

"Single-handedly" The gray-robed man stepped forward and said, "The two of us will fight alone until one of us is dead." If you win the Dog Emperor's life, keep it for the time being, and if you lose, I will want you to watch the Dog Emperor's head fall to the ground! ”

Yan Keran's body shook involuntarily, he tried to restrain himself, and he had no choice in the situation at this time. "Good!" Yan Keran could only agree. Just shouted the word "good", and a gray robe had already covered the top of Yan Keran's head. With the saber that tore the gray robe into strips of cloth, the moment his eyes opened, he was slapped heavily in the back. Yan Keran leaned forward, took advantage of the situation, and as soon as he turned over, he faced the enemy head-on again.

Jiang Weizhen and the others have been watching this heads-up, he does not agree with this kind of individualistic heads-up behavior from the bottom of his heart, after all, this is a moment involving the survival of his family and country, but he can't disobey Yan Keran's orders, and at the same time, he is afraid of the surrounding ambush, even if there are no ambushes yet. Jiang Weizhen had not been with these people behind him for a long time, and the tacit understanding had not yet been formed, he originally planned to retreat into the crowd and take the opportunity to investigate the surroundings, but a Royal Forest Guard stopped him and told him with his eyes that he would leave the matter to himself.

The warrior quietly withdrew from the crowd and began to probe around the Skylark Terrace, and as his figure gradually disappeared, Jiang Weizhen could only return his gaze to Yan Keran. These few moves of the gray-robed man Yan Ke Ran successfully dodged, only ten moves later, Yan Ke Ran had already realized that his force was not this person's opponent, what he could do was to do his best, after all, the advantage of time was not on his side, and the person who wanted to grab time was he Yan Ke Ran.

Even if the gray-robed man took off the gray robe, his face was still hidden in the mask, and what Yan Keran could see was the giant bow on the person's back. This bow and arrow is really too rare, the size of the body is only seen in Yan Keran's life, the bow and arrow seems to be carved with some kind of pattern, Yan Keran is difficult to distinguish for a while. The bow body is so huge, no wonder the power of the crossbow arrow is so great, Yan Keran began to worry that if this person used the giant bow, he would definitely be defeated.
