In the mist of incense, the huge and hideous ghost and god wood carvings in the incense hall stood up to the sky and glared angrily at a man and a woman in the incense hall. Awan's delicate back knelt in front of the sacrificial incense case, on which there was a fruit sacrifice, and a tablet stood in the middle.

"The position of the right protector general Ah Hu." Through the hazy air of cigarette smoke, Ge Luofeng could still see the name on the tablet clearly, his nostrils began to expand, and his chest seemed to explode.

Ah Wan stopped chanting, slowly put a string of bells in his hand on the incense table, slowly got up, and slowly turned around, facing a bloodless and calm face facing Ge Luofeng, who was covered in blood.

"Ah Wan meets the lord of the country." Ah Wan saluted gently.

Ge Luofeng bit his lip and breathed heavily, his eyes staring at Ah Wan's face like sharp blades.

"The lord's body is full of blood, Ah Wan will change his clothes for the lord." Ah Wan spoke in a low voice, reached out and took a robe from the hanger on one side, slowly approached Ge Luofeng, stretched out his hand to untie the robe full of blood mist for Ge Luofeng, carefully put on a clean robe for Ge Luofeng, and lightly buttoned the buttons, tidying up the folds of the person.

Ge Luofeng was at her mercy like a puppet, his eyes staring at the familiar face like a cone.

"Lord, it's all right." Ah Wan took a step back and said softly: "Lord of the country, you can kill me." I'm ready. ”

Ge Luofeng's lips twitched, and he said in a dumb voice: "If you tell me in person that there is no selfish relationship between you and Ah Hu, I will believe you." We will be the same as before. ”

Ah Wan was stunned and sighed lightly: "Ah Wan is sorry for the lord of the country, everything you know is true, Ah Wan...... I can't deceive you, and I can't deceive myself. ”

Ge Luofeng's face began to distort, and his pupils began to contract.

"Lord, I love Ah Hu, if you hadn't forcibly separated us, we would have been a happy couple, and things might not have come to this point. So far, there's not much to say. It's a pity that the child in my belly, I couldn't leave the blood for the lord of the country, and I couldn't keep the blood and blood of Ah Hu, all of this is a curse, and the fault is all in Aguan alone. Ah Wan said softly.

Ge Luofeng's eyes were almost dripping with blood, he swallowed and spat with difficulty, and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever loved me, even a little, a little, a short moment." ”

Ah Wan tilted his head and thought about it, shook his head lightly and said, "I'm sorry for the lord, I can't lie to you, I have never loved you, not at all." ”

Ge Luofeng's face instantly turned gray, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he smiled: "I see, it's really so." I was too stupid to ask such a thing. If you have even the slightest love for me, how can you treat me like this? I can win the hearts of thousands of women, but I can't win the hearts of a single person. ”

"I'm sorry, lord." Ah Wan said quietly.

Ge Luo Feng gritted his teeth, and suddenly reached out to pick up the steel knife placed on the case, and his hand was like the wind, stabbing the long blade straight into Ah Wan's chest until it was handleless.

"Ah Wan, I have to kill you, you have brought me great disaster and shame, and I can't destroy it in your hands. But you remember, what I love most in my life is you, only you. ”

Ah Wan frowned, his face distorted from extreme pain, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. Ge Luofeng slowly pulled out the blade, and the sound of the blade rubbing against the sternum could be heard clearly. Ah Wan's body began to twitch and shake as the blade was withdrawn. Ge Luofeng's face was cold, and he stabbed the long knife he pulled out into Ah Wan's abdomen for the second time, and stirred it fiercely.

Ah Wan opened his bloody mouth and stretched out his pointed finger to point at Ge Luofeng, with a vicious look on his face.

"The first one I killed was you. This knife I killed is the evil seed of Ah Hu, although he will die, but if I don't kill this knife, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart. ”

Ge Luofeng gritted his teeth and finished saying this word by word, suddenly pulled out his long knife, turned around and walked away. Ah Wan's body slowly slid to the ground along the edge of the incense case, his eyes wide and looking up at the sky, and the face of the huge hideous god and ghost statue in the sky also leaned over and stared at her. Ah Wan exhaled the last breath of her life, and her body quickly turned cold.

……

On the upper floor of Longshou Pass, Ge Luofeng and Princess A Luo stood side by side at the battlement of the city tower, their eyes condescendingly scanned the narrow area in front of the checkpoint, and looked at the figures of the remnants of the soldiers who supported each other and fled back to Taihe City. These barbarians were defeated in the battle under the city of Yangjiba and scattered and fled, and after a night of arduous trekking, they finally began to return to the city of Taihe. From the early morning onwards, small flocks arrived.

"Sister, how many soldiers have returned so far?" Ge Luofeng asked in a deep voice.

Princess Arlo replied softly, "There are more than three thousand people at present. ”

Ge Luofeng sighed and said, "It seems that there will be more than four thousand people, plus the three thousand princely guards and stragglers in the city, we will also have seven thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city." This somewhat reassures me. ”

Princess A Luo looked at Ge Luofeng in surprise, and frowned slightly: "Brother, are you still planning to fight to the death with Tang Jun?" Do you really plan to use these 7,000 men to defend Taihe City? ”

Ge Luofeng took a breath and said, "Ah Mei, I know that these seven thousand people can't defend Taihe City, but now there is only one way to defend the city desperately, do we have any other way?" Maybe with these 7,000 people and the terrain of my Longshou Pass, these dozens of arrow towers, we can create miracles. ”

Princess Aluo said coldly, "Brother." It seems that you still haven't woken up, and every decision you make now is not related to your personal honor or disgrace, but to the survival of Nanzhao Kingdom. How can you still have such unrealistic ideas now? ”

Ge Luofeng frowned and said, "I also know that it is unlikely, but the Tang army is about to come to the city, should I abandon the city and surrender?" There will always be a bloody fight with them. ”

Princess Arlo sneered: "And then? Then he waited to be destroyed, so that Taihe City would end up like a sheep and a city? ”

Ge Luofeng said angrily: "Then you tell me, what should I do?" ”

Princess A Luo said in a deep voice: "There is only one way, negotiate peace with the Tang people, keep the Nanzhao Kingdom, and keep the Taihe City." ”

Ge Luofeng said gloomily: "I know you will say this, but in the current situation, how can Tang Jun be willing to negotiate peace?" At the beginning, under the city of Yangba, I personally rejected Wang Yuan, the commander of the Tang Army. Do you remember what Wang Yuan said? He said that it was the last chance, and if we didn't agree to that chance, he wouldn't give us any more chances. ”

Princess Aluo frowned and pondered: "He said so, but it may not be impossible to give it a try." If they refuse, it's not too late for us to fight to the death. ”

Ge Luofeng said: "Okay, I will send a messenger to the Tang army camp to inquire about the tone, if we can reach a peace agreement, of course, everyone will be happy." Do you think I want the Nanzhao Kingdom to perish? Now, if a peace agreement can be reached, I can agree to any conditions. ”

A Luo nodded and said: "Brother, you can think so, I know this is not easy for you, you are a person with a strong personality, but the Tang people have a saying that those who know the times are handsome, and those who can bend and stretch are the ones who do great things." Keeping my Nanzhao Kingdom immortal, that's the only thing you have to think about now. In this way, you will not be ashamed of Daddy, and you will not be ashamed of Nanzhao's subjects. ”

Ge Luofeng sighed and said, "Sister, you're right. I said, I will listen to you when I return to Taihe City, you have full authority to arrange this matter, as long as the Tang people do not destroy my Nanzhao Kingdom, I can agree to any conditions. ”

Ah Luo also sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, and I can only throw away the honor and disgrace." I hate that Wang Yuan to death, and if I have the chance, I will break him into pieces. If it weren't for him, how could my Nanzhao Kingdom get to where it is today. ”

Ge Luofeng sighed and said, "Yes, this person is really powerful. To be honest, I admire him a lot. Who can use less than 50,000 soldiers and horses to defeat my Taihe City? It's incredible. ”

……

On the morning of the 11th of March, the second day after the Tang army rested in Yangjibacheng, the troops escorting grain and grass led by Li Mi finally arrived in Yangjibacheng. And the Jiannan army was almost on the verge of cutting off the grain and grass, and the grain and grass finally arrived, which made Wang Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Mi explained the reason why the grain and grass arrived a day late, and that was because they were attacked by barbarian soldiers and horses on the way. Although the number of barbarians was small, most of the soldiers and horses under Li Mi who escorted the grain and grass were new soldiers, and they had no combat experience at all, so it led to chaos, and the raid in the dark night caused more than 70 carts of grain and grass to be burned, and two or three hundred people were killed and wounded.

Fortunately, Li Mi knew that this was the last important supply, so he personally escorted the army from Nongdong City, and under his command, the barbarians were defeated. Then he was cautious all the way, until the 1,000 cavalry sent by Liu Jun arrived, and then the grain and grass arrived smoothly.

After listening to Li Mi's description, the generals finally fully understood the situation after occupying Taihe City described by Wang Yuan that day. Li Mi's encounter should be a rehearsal of the brute attack that will be encountered in the future. Once you get into that situation, it's a terrible thing.

In any case, most of the grain and grass supplies arrived, the army resumed supplies, and everything was solved. Wang Yuan set up a banquet in Ge Luofeng's palace to entertain Li Mi. During the banquet, Wang Yuan talked about his next plans, Li Mi agreed, and agreed to immediately return to Chengdu Mansion to inform Xian Yu Zhongtong of the progress of the war and the next thoughts, and let Xian Yu Zhongtong enter Beijing to report the victory.

What Wang Yuan considered was to report the victory to the process before the deadline, lift the constraints of the so-called deadline, and relieve Li Linfu and others from eyeing Yang Guozhong. In this way, he can feel at ease here to coerce Nan Zhaoguo to walk out of the path he wants to take, without having to think about anything else.
