The war started outside the capital, and the rebels were attacking the first line of defense set up by Xia Zimo with all their might. The soldiers on both sides fought from day to night, and neither of them flinched. The war drums "banged", and each sound stirred the psychological defense line of the people in the capital.

Xia Zimo stood on the city tower, looking at the soldiers fighting fiercely outside, he was no longer wearing a black dragon robe, but a suit of armor. I have to say that he still has a very general style when he dresses like this. To say that Xia Zimo is also a civil and military all-rounder, in peacetime, he is a diligent and loving king; During the war, he was a general in command. Fortunately, he didn't have to charge into battle, he was only allowed to stay in the barracks and arrange his subordinates.

After the war began, Qiu Luoxue remained in the palace. Xia Zimo was worried about her safety, so he didn't let her leave the palace, and asked Allure, Jasper, Weak Water, and three thousand four people to return to Qiu Luoxue to protect her.

"The war began. From now on, you just need to stay in the palace and wait for my good news. Don't go out, okay? Xia Zimo grabbed Qiu Luoxue's shoulders and said before leaving.

Qiu Luoxue didn't want Xia Zimo to be distracted, and said, "Okay, I'll stay here and wait for your good news."

After that, Xia Zimo left, and Qiu Luoxue sent him far away. Xia Zimo knew that Qiu Luoxue was behind him, but he didn't look back or stay. The war is raging, and now is not the time for children to grow up.

Qiu Luoxue was worried about Xia Zimo, but she couldn't go to see him, so she climbed the highest building in the palace, "Chongming Tower", and looked out of the city from a high place. But after all, there are only a limited number of places that people can see with the naked eye, although at the highest point, Qiu Luoxue can only see the shadows of trees, houses, distant city towers, and lit beacon fires.

She couldn't see Xia Zimo's figure, nor could she hear from him. Her ears were filled with the sound of war drums, and her heart beat every time the drum sounded.

This is the first time she has experienced war, not only her, but Xia Zimo, Xia Ziyan, and many people in the capital have experienced war for the first time, and it is such a tragic fierce battle.

The soldiers on both sides brandished their weapons and hit the enemy mercilessly. Scattered limbs, cold corpses, blood splattering everywhere...... All show the fierceness of this battle, and also indicate that this battle is a protracted battle that will not end easily.

Under the sun, someone raised the knife in his hand and slashed at the person opposite, and in the direction of the backlight, only a figure was seen falling, and red liquid sprayed out.

Blood stained not only on the knife, but also on the face of the knife bearer. Sweat and blood mix and dilute each other. Nie Yuan casually wiped his face with his hands, and the blood beads scattered on his face turned into several red blood stains.

Dragging his sword, he trampled on the corpses of his enemies and continued to advance. When an enemy appears, he wields his sword at will, ending the opponent's life. He is the god of war on the western border, an iceberg in the desert, and the man in Qiu Luoxue's eyes who holds a sword in his hand, but matches the flower.

Keep waving the sword in your hand, keep killing the enemy's life, and keep attacking the city...... This is my life at the border, and this is how I protect you. But I don't want you to know that, and I don't want you to see me kill someone. I know you don't like that.

Nie Yuan continued to move forward while thinking about these words in his heart, he was now doing the finishing touches on his battlefield. He led his troops to defeat Chu Yang's attack and hold the border of Great Qin, but this was only the beginning. His target was Chu Yang's Jing Division, and the order Xia Zimo gave him was to take Chu Yang, and he would do it no matter what.

Nie Yuan's afterglow skimmed over the injured Chuyang soldier on the side, and the man looked at him in panic. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his sword fell, ending the soldier's life.

His mind is that one who does not stay, whether wounded or surrendered, will not spare their lives. Because he knows that if these people are released now, they will still be his enemies when they return. Rather than that, it is better to be cruel and end their lives.

This is war, each side has to achieve its own ends, as for justice or not, it is the winner who can say, and the price of the loser is only death.

Time was ticking, one attack after another, and in the process of being busy defending the city, before I knew it, it had sunset. In ancient times, technology was not developed, and there were no very good lighting tools at night, not to mention that both sides were tired. So everyone stopped attacking in unison.

The last rays of the setting sun swept across the tragic battlefield, and without even stopping too long on the soldiers who had died in battle, they disappeared into the sky, casting darkness into the earth. The shouts of killing were gone, the drums of war were gone, and silence was restored inside and outside the capital.

A tense day passed, and on this day, they held the capital, ten days before the arrival of reinforcements.

General Nie rushed to the capital with 200,000 reinforcements day and night, and if they arrived a day late, it was likely that they would delay the fighters and miss the opportunity to protect the capital. Therefore, no one in the whole army dared to delay.

Xia Zimo returned to the palace from the barracks, and Qiu Luoxue had already stood in front of the red palace gate to greet her. Seeing Xia Zimo returning safely, she didn't care about the people around her, and rushed up to hug Xia Zimo.

Xia Zimo also hugged Qiu Luoxue and stroked her hair with one hand to comfort her worried mood.

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely come back safely."

Xia Zimo's steady voice came from Qiu Luoxue's ears, this sentence brought her wireless comfort, and for a long time in the future, she spent it thinking about this sentence.

…………

Wu Xianchu still lives in the royal temple, which is deep in the jungle, quiet and safe, and more importantly, she wants to stay here and wait for news from Xu Zhonghang. One day, two days, three days...... Finally, she waited for Xu Zhonghang's letter.

After receiving the letter, Wu Xianchu couldn't wait to open it and see that there were two letters in the envelope. One is written to Wu Xianchu himself, and the other is written about Qiu Luoxue.

Wu Xianchu only looked at the one written to her, Xu Zhonghang explained in the letter that he was very good, there was no need to worry, and he also asked Wu Xianchu about the situation and asked her to be careful. In addition, she was given a token, in case the rebels came to the royal temple to cause trouble, she could take out the token, and the rebels would not touch her......

In the end, Xu Zhonghang told Wu Xianchu in his heart to find a way to hand over another letter to Qiu Luoxue, because the matter was urgent, and it must be fast.

A few days ago, Chen Wang's body became weaker and weaker because of the lack of medicine. Xu Zhonghang took the opportunity to propose to write a letter to Qiu Luoxue, asking her to transport some necessary medicinal materials from the capital.

"Lord Wang, your body is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid I won't be able to last long after a long-term abstinence, so let my subordinates write a letter to the queen and ask her to find a way to send some medicinal herbs from the capital."

For this method, King Chen did not approve, he said: "No, although she is now our person, but this king is afraid that she will remember what happened before, if that is the case, she will stand in Xia Zimo's camp, like her asking for help is tantamount to suicide."

"The prince can't trust the queen's mother, can't he still believe in the medical skills of his subordinates? The medicine for amnesia was personally prescribed by her subordinates, and it was also taken by the prince himself. It's not so easy to remember the past. ”

Xu Zhonghang persuaded that the so-called amnesia pill was also a way to make Chen Wang believe in Qiu Luoxue, and at that time, Xu Zhonghang fed Qiu Luoxue another pill, so she didn't have amnesia at all. But Chen Wang didn't know this, and he kept praising Xu Zhonghang's superb medical skills.

In the face of death, no one can be calm. Chen Wang thought that he would die without medicinal materials, so he had to agree to Xu Zhonghang's method. However, he felt that he couldn't let people directly contact Qiu Luoxue, so he chose to let Wu Xianchu pull the string from it.

After Wu Xianchu received the letter, he did not dare to delay, and immediately set off for the palace. After passing by the rebel surveillance area, because of the token given by Xu Zhonghang, she passed over easily. When she arrived outside the capital, she took out the token left by Qiu Luoxue and easily entered.

"It's not safe on the road this big night, why are you here?"

Qiu Luoxue was very surprised when she saw Wu Xianchu, fortunately she was fine, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain to Xu Zhonghang.

"I received a letter from AVIC." Wu Xianchu said.

"Really? That's good, I'll just say he'll be fine, and you can rest assured. Qiu Luoxue was also very happy to hear the news.

Wu Xianchu also had a smile on her face, and she said, "Yes, you can rest assured." By the way, in addition to writing me a letter, he also wrote you a letter asking me to pass it on to you as soon as possible, so I came here overnight. ”

Wu Xianchu said and took out the letter and handed it to Qiu Luoxue. After Qiu Luoxue took it, she immediately opened it to see. She knew that Xu Zhonghang wrote to her definitely not to reminisce about the past, but probably to convey some important information.

Xu Zhonghang wrote in the letter that King Chen was seriously ill, and also wrote that he accidentally burned King Chen's medicinal materials, and asked Qiu Luoxue to find a way to get some medicinal materials for Wu Xianchu, and he would send someone to the royal temple to get them. After that, he made a list of medicinal herbs, saying that they could all be found in the palace.

Although Chen Wang believed Xu Zhonghang, he still had to be personally reviewed by Chen Wang when he wrote a letter during the critical period, so Xu Zhonghang's letter did not write anything dangerous on the surface.

However, Qiu Luoxue and Xu Zhonghang agreed on a signal, and in the different texts, there was actually a hidden address of King Chen.

"I finally sent a letter out, why didn't AVIC write out the place where King Chen was hiding." Wu Xianchu said after reading the letter.

Qiu Luoxue smiled and said: "He wrote it, and the reason why he sent this letter out is to let us know where King Chen is."

"Where's it written? How I didn't see it. Wu Xian asked suspiciously.

"King Chen's suspicion is heavy, even if it is Imperial Doctor Xu, he will definitely be interrogated when he sends the letter out at this time. So he couldn't write it explicitly, but hid the location in these words. Qiu Luoxue explained.

"And how are we going to see that?" Wu Xianchu asked.

Qiu Luoxue smiled mysteriously and said, "Mountain people have their own clever plans."
