Manyao sent 800 miles to send out the war report urgently, but once it came and went, it would take more than half a month for the reinforcements to arrive at the earliest. Seeing that the danger of Wucheng was imminent, she didn't have much time to think, so she immediately made a decision, overrode public opinion, and decided to go to Wucheng in person.

Dozens of miles away, hurry up, half a day.

At this time, Wucheng was under a night attack.

As soon as Man Yao and Xiao Ke entered the city, they rushed to the barracks.

"Stop! Who is so bold as to dare to break into the barracks at night! Don't want to die? When the guard at the gate of the barracks saw the two black horses suddenly rushing over, he hurriedly stopped them, and shouted at the two people who were tightly wrapped in black raincoats and couldn't see their faces clearly.

Xiao Ke showed a golden token, "Look at it! Get out of the way. ”

Man Yao raised his hand and lifted his hat, revealing a white head, the guard was stunned, such a stunning woman with this white hair, he didn't need to look at the token that symbolized his noble status, and he could guess who it was.

The guards hurriedly knelt down and saluted, but before they could speak, they threw down the phrase "Pass to the general to the council chamber", and rode straight in.

A quarter of an hour later, the council hall.

Man Yao sat upright, looking at the three people who walked up the steps quickly outside the door, his face solemn and calm.

The Wucheng guard general is the former commander of the Imperial Palace Guards in the capital Xiang Wu, he led the two lieutenants to enter quickly, and after saluting, his face was worried, and he hurriedly said: "Why did Niangniang come here alone? The enemy army is now attacking and attacking the city at night, and I am afraid that Wucheng will not be able to defend it for long! Niangniang's golden jade phoenix body, and her dragon child, it is not suitable to stay here, Deputy General Yao, you lead twenty elite soldiers to escort Niangniang back to the palace, and there must be no mistakes on the way. ”

"Yes, General. Mother, please. Vice General Yao stepped forward and made a gesture of please, but he sat still but sat still, looked at the three of them one by one, his eyes were sharp, he looked into Xiang Wu's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "As a city guard, this battle has just begun, you are so unconfident, how can you lead the army to fight?" ”

Xiang Wu was stunned, and hurriedly replied: "It's not that the minister is not unconfident, it's just that the disparity between the enemy and our forces is too great, and the minister can live and die with Wucheng, but Niangniang ......."

Without waiting for him to finish, he intercepted and said, "You don't have to worry about the safety of this palace. Imagine, if Wucheng, which has 50,000 defenders, can't keep it, then how many days can the Jiangdu Palace, which only has a few thousand forbidden troops left, be able to keep it? Since the palace is here, it is natural to help the general and protect the safety of the city. ”

Xiang Wu felt that what she said also made sense, Wucheng is over, and Jiangdu will definitely not be able to keep it, but how can she be a woman to ensure the safety of a city? I was puzzled in my heart, but seeing that her face was calm, her eyes were full of wisdom, and her voice was quite confident, she couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Niangniang brought reinforcements?" ”

Man Yao frowned and asked rhetorically: "The palace guards have been sent to the disaster area, how can I bring reinforcements?" ”

Xiang Wu was stunned, "That lady brought a chariot and a secret weapon?" ”

"The gunpowder was used to open up mountains and rocks to channel floods, and there was no surplus. ”

When the two lieutenants heard this, they unconsciously showed a look of disappointment in their eyes, Xiang Wu was the same, but he covered it up better, he frowned slightly, thought about it, and asked: "Then only Niangniang and Miss Xiao came this time?" ”

Xiao Ke was unhappy, and glared: "It's just the two of us, what's wrong?" Do you look down on me and the princess sister? ”

Xiang Wu was stunned, and hurriedly saluted Manyao, and said respectfully: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

The two lieutenants echoed, but the information from their eyes made it clear that they were still extremely suspicious in their hearts. Although the imperial concubine had previously used a plan to go to the Dust Wind Country to buy war horses, and then Zixiang Pass's secret weapon was really shocking, but this time it was different, 300,000 troops, they didn't believe that in the absence of reinforcements and secret weapons, how could she retreat from the enemy as a woman!

Manyao didn't care what they thought, in fact, she wasn't sure, she just settled their hearts first. An army, no matter what the strength of the army, if even the main general has the intention of losing, then what chance of victory? All she can do is do her best to keep it for as long as she can.

"Wucheng is the last pass of my dynasty, no matter what the situation is, this pass must not be lost! Although this palace is not completely sure, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, this palace always knows more about Emperor Qiyun than you. Sit down and talk about the war. Every time she talked about the royal brother or thought of him, she couldn't help but feel the hair in her heart.

The three of them hesitated for a moment and then sat down. The two lieutenants couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, didn't Emperor Qiyun love Niangniang the most? A year ago, it was also for the sake of Niangniang that he was the enemy of the Kingdom of Heaven! But why, this time, he would take advantage of the emperor to go out to attack the Southern Dynasty? And the mother doesn't seem to be sad at all, could it be that the rumors are false? It's puzzling.

Xiang Wu said: "Hui Niangniang, the enemy army attacked the city at night and sent about 100,000 people, the enemy general who led the troops was surnamed Zuo, it is strange to say, they attacked the city as if it was a wheel station, a thousand people in a wave, each time they quickly retreated to change a set, after taking turns a few times, our bows and arrows and stones were used a lot, but their people were not killed or wounded. ”

"So, their purpose is not to attack the city?" frowned, the royal brother is a human being, she understands herself, and he will never do anything that he is not sure of or has no purpose. She asked again: "What does General Xiang think the purpose of the enemy army?" ”

Xiang Wu shook his head, "The minister has been pondering, but he can't figure it out. The spies we sent out were also unheard. ”

Man Yao thought for a while, and then asked, "In addition to the four major gates, are there other entrances to this city?" ”

Xiang Wu Dao; "Nope."

Wucheng is a city in the water, different from other cities, its city wall is in the moat, both sides of the city wall are about a zhang wide distance from the ground, except for the city gate, it is impossible to climb the wall in other places.

After listening to him, Man Yao pondered for a while, got up and said, "Take me to see." The more impossible it was, the more uneasy she felt. If the purpose of the imperial brother's attack on the city was just to waste their bows, arrows and stones, she would not believe it anyway.

Xiang Wu nodded, "Niangniang, please." ”

The five of them came together to the moat by the wall, which stood in the middle of the river, so strong that it was impossible to climb. The blue glow of the river reflects the torches burning on the city walls, and the orange-red flames are sparkling in the breeze. If there were no smoke and war, this is a nice place to be quiet and quiet.

Man Yao sighed softly, suddenly frowned, turned his head and asked; "Why is the river so clear? Isn't it backwater? ”

Xiang Wu was stunned by the question, he had only been sent here for a year, and he had never paid attention to these. However, Vice General Yao has been here for a few years, and he has heard a sentence and a half of it. He bent down and arched his hand and said, "Back to Niangniang, the last general heard from the elderly people in the city that there is a spring three feet down from this river. ”

"Where is the spring?" ”

"This ...... I don't know. ”

"Hurry up and ask. Ask about the location and size of the spring? At the beginning of the external connection? How many are there? Go back. Her tone was low, and after Xiang Wu was slightly stunned, she felt the seriousness of the matter, her face became solemn, and Vice General Yao hurriedly led the order to leave.

Xiang Wu said: "Niangniang suspects that the enemy army will sneak into the city from underwater? ”

"It's just a guess, it's always a good thing to be more guarded." As far as she knew, there was a water division in the Qiyun Kingdom, and they had excellent water quality, so they had to guard against it.

The other lieutenant general was puzzled: "However, we don't even know about this spring, how can the people of Qiyun Kingdom know about it?" ”

Pondering with her eyes down, this is also the question she is thinking about. The Qiyun Kingdom marched too fast, even if there was no need to attack the city, the distance from the border pass of the Qiyun Kingdom to Wucheng would have to take more than ten days. In this way, there are only two possibilities, one of which is the cooperation of spies. If it is only one city, this may exist, but every city happens to have spies, and the spies know the local terrain well, I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to do it in a short time. Unless, two possibilities...... While she was thinking about it, Vice General Yao had returned.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, I have already inquired. The old man in the city said that the underground river was connected, and the spring was about a foot square, and under the base of the western city wall, it connected to the half-mile river outside the city. ”

Xiang Wu exclaimed: "Half a mile of the river? Isn't that exactly where the enemy army is encamped? Niangniang, the minister immediately transferred troops to Xicheng to guard. ”

"Wait." She immediately stopped, "At this time, it is easy to be detected by the enemy when you transfer troops." Don't worry, there won't be many of them coming, go, go to the west city wall. ”

Behind a gray stele engraved with a seal, the five of them looked through the gaps in the branches of the old trees that extended over, keeping an eye on the movement of the river under the city wall not far away.

It didn't take long for the waves in the river to rise, and a head sticking out of the water, touching the water on his face, looking around, and making sure that there was no one around, he swam ashore, and then three more people came out. After the four of them went ashore, they gathered together to discuss a few words, and listened attentively, but they couldn't hear a single sound. She frowned as she saw that they seemed to have finished their discussions and were about to separate in all four directions. Man Yao immediately raised her hand, and there were four silver needles flashing ice blue between her slender fingers, she gathered her internal strength, and with a raise of her hand, the silver needles pierced through the air, but they were silent, and the speed was amazing.

When the four of them realized that their color had changed greatly, they had no time to react and fainted.

Manyao walked out and ordered in a deep voice: "Take it back and check it in detail." ”

"Yes."

Back in the barracks, Man Yao and Xiao Ke had a hasty dinner and waited for news in the conference hall.

Xiao Ke leaned over, said worriedly, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Princess, they have 300,000 people, and we ...... Can you really win? ”

Manyao took a sip of tea, turned his head to look at her, and smiled, "Ke'er is scared?" ”

"No, Sister Princess underestimates me." Xiao Ke pursed her pink lips, shook her arm nonchalantly, and then put on a thoughtful look, tilted her head and asked, "Sister Princess, this battle ...... What happens to us if we lose? ”

Man Yao thought about it slightly, looked at her eyes seriously, and said, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Xiao Ke was stunned and didn't answer immediately, a person suddenly popped up in her mind, the hateful man who always yelled at her and went against her, if she died, and no one would quarrel with him in the future, would he miss her?

"Can't bear to be the old nine?" Manyao is a person who has come over, and you can see her thoughts at a glance. Ke'er is still too simple and never hides herself, maybe that's why Lao Jiu likes her.

"No, it's not." was poked at the center, Xiao Ke's face turned red, and he hurriedly denied it, "I won't be reluctant to give him up, I wish I would never see him again in the future." ”

Man Yao patted her hand, looked at her crimson cheeks with a girl's heart, shook his head and smiled: "Although Lao Jiu looks a little improper, I believe that he just has some things that have not yet been decided, as long as he decides it, in the future, he will definitely treat you very well." In case, in case this place can't be saved, I'll ......"

"Niangniang," she didn't finish speaking, she walked towards Wu quickly, her brows furrowed, and said: "No matter how we coerce and lure, those hard bones would rather die than speak, and even the punishment is used, it is still useless." Even more bizarrely, nothing was found from them, no weapons, and no poison powder weapons. ”

frowned, how could he not find anything? There are only four of them, and there will be at least some auxiliary items to complete the mission. She asked, "But the interrogation was carried out separately?" ”

Xiang Wu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Well," she groaned slightly, and stood up, "then the palace will go to it yourself." Go find a night walker. ”

In the barracks, the torture chamber. A man with his hands and feet tied was already covered with whip marks.

No matter how Vice General Yao pressed him, the person who was arrested always didn't open his mouth like a dumb person, and he didn't say a word. Vice General Yao was anxious, picked up the red-hot soldering iron on the side, and threatened the man: "If you don't say it again, don't blame me for being rude." ”

The man's eyes flashed, and there was fear in his eyes, but he still didn't open his mouth, and turned his head away, making the appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Man Yao quietly hid outside the door, looking at the red-hot soldering iron, a little frightened. But she didn't go in to stop it, only to see Vice General Yao approaching the man with a soldering iron and pressing it the man's chest, the man's body trembled violently, green smoke rose straight up, and the smell of burnt mush of human flesh wafted out, which made people can't help but be disgusted.

Manyao's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw the man's severe pain, but there was still no sound overflowing, just a face that was so painful that it twitched and twisted, and his expression was hideous and terrifying. She suddenly remembered the feeling that she had suffered severe pain but couldn't scream, and was stunned for a moment, could it be that they were dumb? However, after they came ashore, the four of them spoke, and although they did not hear a sound, they clearly saw their lips move...... She rolled her eyes, put on the black cloth on her face, and entered the torture room in a flash, slashing at the back of Vice General Yao's neck with a hand knife.

Before she could say a word, she looked up at her, and her eyes seemed to ask: Who are you?

Man Yao tore off the black cloth and turban, revealing that he was as white as snow, and did not ask about his injuries, let alone help him untie the rope, but calmly reprimanded him with a calm face, and reprimanded him silently with his lips: "What are you doing? Being caught so easily, it's a big deal for the bad royal brother. ”

The man was stunned, looked at her head, and saw that she was using lips, and she said "Brother Huang". The man's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Are you a princess?" ”

Manyao's face remained unchanged, but he said in his heart that the imperial brother was really cautious enough, and he used a dumb person to sneak into the city, and even if he was caught, he was not afraid of leaking the news.

The man said, "Please help the princess untie the rope, the hour is running out." ”

Man Yao frowned and said: "This area is heavily guarded, and you won't be able to get out if you are released." Even if you are lucky enough to escape, once they are gone, they will definitely send people to search the city and put them on guard, and it is impossible for you to complete the mission. ”

"Give it to Princess Ben." He looked straight into the man's eyes, not dodging or dodging.

The man stopped talking, and his eyes looking at her gradually revealed suspicion and defense, his eyes sank, and his face was solemn and majestic, "You can't trust this princess?" Do you think that this princess, as the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty, is not in the Jiangdu Palace at the moment, but runs to this Wucheng, which is about to be lost? ”

The man's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking about it, he was still a little hesitant. At this time, there was movement outside, and Man Yao immediately dragged Vice General Yao on the ground to the side and hid in the darkness. Outside the door, two people looked through the window, and one said, "Huh? When did Vice General Yao leave? Why don't I know? ”

Another sneered, "Who do you think you are?" Do you have to notify you that the adults will leave the torture room? ”

"That's right. We have to guard it well, and tell the general that we must not let the princess's people get in, otherwise, if something happens, we can't afford to take care of it......"

The voices of the two guards faded away, and Man Yao came out of the darkness, when the suspicion in the eyes of the bound man disappeared, and he changed to a respectful look, nodded at Man Yao, and with a twitch of his tongue, he spit out a pitch-black square.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Manyao's eyes, frowned, and reached out to catch it. No wonder nothing can be found, it turns out that it is hidden in the mouth.

The man said: "The villain is also acting on orders, so he has to be cautious, offended the princess, and asked the princess to forgive him." ”

Man Yao opened the thin black metal shell that was impermeable to the wind around the small square, revealing a small and thin brown object, looked at it, and said lightly: "This princess understands." What to do, say it. ”

The man said: "The troops of the southern army are led to the south city wall, as long as this spice is lit near the south city gate, within half an hour, the people and animals within a hundred zhang will fall into a coma when they smell the fragrance, and then the city gate can be opened." General Zuo smelled the aroma of 'soul incense', and when he saw the enemy fainting, he would lead his troops into the city. ”

It's as simple as that?! He looked at the spices in his hand with his eyes down, his face remained silent, and then he asked thoughtfully: "General Zuo, have they all taken the antidote?" ”

"Yes."

"That'...... The city gate is wide open, will the royal brother enter the city? ”

"This ...... The villain didn't know that if the princess wanted to see the emperor, she could go directly to the camping place next to the Banli River. ”

The implication is that the royal brother will not enter the city? He asked, "How do you know that there is a spring under the wall?" ”

"It's the emperor who said ......"

Out of the torture room, Xiang Wu and Xiao Ke waited outside.

Man Yao handed the piece of spice to Xiao Ke, "Look at it, do you know this?" ”

Xiao Ke took it and looked at it, "This is the 'Soul Leaving Incense', if you are poisoned by it, if you don't take the antidote within twelve hours, you will never wake up." ”

Man Yao nodded, "Yes, it's 'Soul Leaving Incense'." They wanted to burn this incense near the city gate and enter the city without much difficulty. Kerr, do you have a solution to this toxicity? ”

Xiao Ke took out a small package from his arms, opened it, and took out a white thing shaped like a candle but smaller than a candle, and said with a smile: "You can use it." ”

Xiang Wu asked, "What is this?" ”

Xiao Ke said: "This." I'll call it the 'White Candle.' It is colorless and odorless, as long as it is put together with the Soul Leaving Incense, its toxicity will eliminate the poisonous gas of the Soul Leaving Incense. ”

Manyao's eyes lit up, "What will happen to the person who has taken the Soul Leaving Incense Antidote when it smells?" ”

Xiao Ke thought for a while, and then said: "One of the medicines in the 'Soul Leaving Incense' antidote is compatible with the poisonous gas of the white candle, and after taking the 'Soul Leaving Incense' antidote, and then the poison of the white candle, the whole body will be paralyzed, and the worst will be dead." ”

100,000 people! Manyao's mood suddenly heavy, she looked up, took a deep breath, and had no choice. I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them, I was full of determination and determination, hiding the look of struggle and helplessness. Fang ordered: "General Xiang, you ordered someone to light the 'Soul Leaving Incense' and light the 'White Candle' after our people fell unconscious. Let them change into the clothes of the four, and open the gates. ”

Xiang Wu was ordered to leave.

Man Yao stood in place, looking up at the dark sky, thinking that she was a person who was deeply educated by modern times, and although she was forced by the situation in ancient times, she was so murderous that she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

This is a real confrontation between her and Emperor Qiyun, that unfathomable man, who doesn't need to come forward, can always give her an invisible but very powerful pressure, making her breathless.

Half a mile of the river, the place where the Qiyun army camped.

In the large tent in the center, a gentlemanly and elegant man sat on a stall in front of a low couch in a posture that was very unsuitable for his temperament. The man's legs were slender and slightly bent, his elbows were resting on his knees, his hands were supporting his head, and his ice-gray eyes were deep, hollow and sad. He stared intently at a precious white fox blanket spread on the low couch in front of him.

It was a blanket woven from the fur of dozens of young white foxes, the color of the fur was like snow, and it was picked out of the hundreds, and the color was exactly the same. The fur is soft and smooth, like the skin and fur of a newborn baby, and it is unforgettable to the touch. The blanket is embroidered with a lotus pattern, and in the same white, holy and bewitching posture is grandly spread out on this blanket, but it is hidden. The corner of the blanket hangs gently from the low couch and extends to the bright red carpet, and the white color exudes a soft but white paper-like light under the illumination of the precious night pearl, which makes people look at it and involuntarily think of a person, unable to control themselves.

He reached out and touched the blanket, very cautiously. The slender fingers slowly rubbed the pure white fox fur, and a feeling that was so soft that it seemed to overflow water grew in the bottom of my heart, spreading rapidly with an unstoppable momentum. And the beautiful memories buried in my heart are as clear as yesterday.

"Rong'er, are you cold? This blanket was rewarded by my father yesterday, so give it to Rong'er. In the secluded pavilion, he held a thin azure blanket and handed it to the thin girl.

The girl's eyes lit up slightly, she raised her hand to caress the soft blanket, her expression was in a trance, and a trace of complicated emotions swept through her eyes, and she murmured, "It's so beautiful." ”

He smiled and handed the blanket to her a few more points, but the girl suddenly retracted her hand, turned her head, lowered her eyes and whispered, "Thank you, but I don't need to." ”

He was surprised, "Why?" Rong'er doesn't like it? ”

The girl looked back and smiled, "I like it, but it doesn't belong to me." ”

"Since it was given to you, it belongs to you." He took her little red hand and placed the blanket on hers.

"Yo! Isn't this the Sixth Emperor Brother?! Father finally rewarded you once, although it was a few of us who picked the rest, but it was also a reward from the father, you just gave it to a little palace maid, if the father knew, in the future, I am afraid that I want to pick up the leftovers of others and can't pick them up. Hahaha. A man in fine clothes, surrounded by a group of minions, walked towards him, sneering at him as he went.

The girl was slightly stunned, then bowed her head and knelt down to salute, and deliberately thickened her voice and said, "The slave has seen the second prince." ”

He turned around, bowed slightly to the man, and said with a gentle smile: "Let the second imperial brother laugh, Rong Qi is not as favored by his father as several imperial brothers, and I have no intention of competing with the imperial brothers, I believe that the second imperial brother will not use such a boring trivial matter to annoy his father." ”

The second prince held his head high, looked arrogant, and said disdainfully: "You just want to fight and you have to be qualified, if you want to blame it, blame your mother who is too useless to eat fasting and chanting Buddha." The second prince stepped forward with a figure-eight step, picked up the blanket in the girl's hand, shook it, shook it away, and threw it behind him, "This is just right to use as a cushion for the white beaver, you won't mind the sixth emperor brother, right?" ”

The girl suddenly raised her head, as if trying to snatch back the blanket, and he quickly moved his body to block in front of the girl, so that the girl's face would not be seen by his arrogant royal brother. He looked at the servant behind the second prince and took his blanket to wrap a little fox, the fox's fur was pure white and extremely beautiful, but he was disgusted. said with a smile: "If the second emperor brother thinks it is suitable, then it is suitable." Oh, by the way, when I came here just now, I seemed to hear people in the palace of the eldest emperor say that my father had summoned the eldest brother to have dinner together, and said that after dinner, the eldest brother would play chess with my father. ”

"What?" When the second prince heard this, the arrogant attitude just now suddenly disappeared, "Everyone knows that my chess skills are much better than him, why did my father call him and not me?" ”

"This, the second emperor brother has to ask his father to know."

"Let's go."

The second prince was in an irritable mood, led a group of servants to leave quickly, and before leaving, he lifted the blue blanket from the white fox, threw it into the small lake under the pavilion like throwing a rag, and walked away.

He looked at the blanket in the lake, his eyes sank, and he pursed his lips silently.

Without saying a word, the girl turned around and ran down the pavilion and jumped into the lake. He was shocked, and it was too late to stop him.

The winter lake was cold and biting, and he watched the woman swim effortlessly towards the blanket in the lake, and an indescribable strange emotion welled up in his heart. Once in his life, he learned that one of his items could be so valued. Walking down the pavilion, he stretched out his hand to the girl who swam to the shore, held her slender and cold fingers, and looked at her body trembling in the cold wind after coming ashore, he suddenly thought that in this life, he wanted to protect her well.

Pull her to a sheltered place, "It's just a blanket, it's not worth going down to the lake to pick it up." What's more, it's already been touched by brutes, so don't do it. After he said that, he wanted to take it and throw it away.

The girl didn't agree, her hands clenched tightly, "No, you said it, this is for me, it belongs to me." ”

He said, "I'll give you a better one later." ”

"No, it's later, this one." The girl lowered her eyes, and a shallow sadness appeared in her eyes. "I can't remember how many years no one has given me a gift, it seems like eight years, it seems like ten years," she said. Thank you, Sixth Prince. ”

He had never seen her look like this, she would smile every time she saw him, whether it was really happy or fake, she would only smile. Just like him, the gentle smile does not leave the corner of his mouth, but no one knows the bitterness in his heart. He looked at her lowered eyelashes, a shallow mist that appeared in her beautiful eyes, and his heart ached, and he unconsciously took her body soaked in the lake, so petite, so thin.

"Don't call me any prince, just call me by my name. In the future, I will definitely give you a blanket that is unique in the world, and at that time, no one will dare to take it from you. ”

At that time, he thought that she was really just an ordinary and special palace maid.

What a distant memory, no matter how long it has passed, it still can't fade from his heart, but she has long forgotten it. Everything between them, in front of her, seemed to pass by, leaving no trace. Now, this one-of-a-kind blanket is woven from the same fur color from hundreds of young white foxes, and when it is placed in front of her, will she take a closer look?

"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." Xiao Xunzi, the personal eunuch, entered the big tent with a bowl of medicine, and respectfully handed it to Emperor Qiyun with both hands.

Emperor Qiyun turned back slowly, the corner of his eyes swept over the black medicinal juice in the delicate porcelain bowl, Qing Jun's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a touch of deep disgust flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Xunzi sighed secretly, handed it to him again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you missing the princess again?" General Zuo has been out of force for two hours, and it is time to enter the city. Your Majesty, you will soon be able to see the princess. ”

Emperor Qiyun took the medicine bowl, as usual, he was used to pausing halfway through the drink, feeling the astringent bitterness flowing between his lips and teeth, gradually soaking into his heart and lungs. He frowned slightly, drank the remaining half of the bowl, rinsed his mouth, and looked up, his expression dark.

Yes, soon.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A guard was about to rush into the big tent in a panic, but Xiao Xunzi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and reprimanded: "Why are you so flustered? ”

The man stopped, and knelt at the door of the tent with a puff, his face sad and depressed.

Emperor Qiyun didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

The man fell to the end and said sadly: "Your Majesty, our plan has been revealed, and the 100,000 troops brought by General Zuo are all ...... Annihilated. ”

Emperor Qiyun's hand stroking the blanket stiffened, and his lowered eyes turned cold gray to deep, but he never looked back, only Xiao Xunzi was startled, and his eyes widened and asked, "How can it be revealed?" Who leaked the news? ”

The guard replied in a trembling voice; "Villain...... Ignorance. ”

Xiao Xunzi's heart sank, and he turned his head to look at the emperor who was still sitting on the red carpet and his posture had not changed, only to see that his brows were slightly frowned, and his slightly pale lips were slightly pursed with a kind of morbid elegance, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

The guards outside the door didn't dare to raise their heads, and Xiao Xunzi was silent. After half a quarter of an hour, Emperor Qiyun's face was blank, and he asked softly as if sighing, "Brother Huang has entered the city?" ”

The guard looked up in surprise, he didn't dare to say it, how could the emperor know?! nodded stunnedly, and reported the news from the spies from Wucheng one by one.

Emperor Qiyun listened quietly and did not say a word.

With the way of others, he also governed his body, and without spending a single soldier, he destroyed 100,000 horses so easily!

"Your Majesty......" Xiao Xunzi couldn't help but cry out in worry when he saw that his face was so calm. That's 100,000 people! It's gone, how can the emperor be indifferent?

Emperor Qiyun ignored Xiao Xunzi's gaze, he hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a trace of elegant smile, and said in his heart: "This is just the beginning!" ”

Waving his hand at the door, Xiao Xunzi hurriedly asked the guard to retreat, and only then did he step forward and call again, but was stopped by Emperor Qiyun.

Emperor Qiyun's face was as usual, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations in the depths, only a trace of almost invisible sadness and helplessness occasionally crossed the expression in his eyes. His eyes drooped lightly, and the blanket under his hand spread white in his eyes, and he looked at it as if he saw the woman's head full of snow-like silver threads.

He suddenly asked: "Xiao Xunzi, you say, will the imperial sister like this blanket when she sees it?" ”

Xiao Xunzi hurriedly pulled out a smile and replied: "The emperor hunted personally, and it took several years to get such a blanket, not to mention the preciousness, just this thought, the princess will definitely like it." After he finished speaking, he thought to himself, even if he didn't have so many thoughts, if such a beautiful and precious blanket was given to any lady in the harem, the lady would have to be so happy that she couldn't sleep for a few nights.

Emperor Qiyun smiled slightly, and that smile stopped at the corner of his lips, unable to blend into his ice-gray eyes. He laughed at himself: "You are talking about her in the past, and now the imperial sister, I'm afraid it's ...... I held the whole world in front of her, and I didn't look back at her as worry-free as Zongzheng. ”

Xiao Xunzi has been with Emperor Qiyun for many years, and has won the trust of Emperor Qiyun, for the matter between the emperor and the princess, he has always been relatively clear, at this moment to see Emperor Qiyun's rare sadness, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but his mouth comforted: "The princess just forgot about your past with her for the time being, and when she remembers, the emperor's position in the princess's heart is still irreplaceable." ”

Is it? Emperor Qiyun asked himself in his heart. He once thought it was, but now he can't be sure. Emperor Qiyun stood up with his body propped up, turned to look at the loess dust outside the big tent that rose with the wind, his face was expressionless, and his voice was elegant and low, "Pass the order, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will go out." ”

…… The next day, early in the morning. The morning light of late spring and early summer is just beginning to appear, pouring through the gray clouds on this bloody land.

The Qiyun army once again approached the city, with 200,000 soldiers and horses, attacking the eastern, southern, and western city gates. There were 30,000 people at the east and west gates, and the remaining 140,000 troops gathered at the south gate, lined up neatly, and prepared to attack the city. The more than 40,000 people guarding the city at the south gate were assigned to the east and west gates, and at this time, there was not a single soldier on the south gate wall, only a stunning woman.

Luo yarn wide sleeves, fluttering like a fairy, silver like snow, flying lightly. A red lotus flower on her forehead, with gold powder strokes, reflects a holy and bewitching light in the morning light, lining her beautiful and refined face, like a fairy and elegant figure, making people look at it at a glance as if they have lost their hearts and souls.

The soldiers under the city looked up, and in their stunned and puzzled eyes, they revealed the amazement in their hearts.

Alone, Tingranyu stood on the edge of the city wall, her eyes swept down the city, as if she was looking at the world, indifferent and cold.

The 140,000-strong army, black and oppressive, is extremely magnificent. She frowned, but she didn't see the shadow of Emperor Qiyun. Raising his eyes slightly, he glanced around, and caught a glimpse of a stone platform outside Baizhang, which was full of atmosphere, wide and strong. At some point, there was a solitary shelf on it, a mahogany frame, inlaid with gold, and a curtain of yellow curtains slanted up, and placed on the left shelf. There was no one around the sedan chair, the light inside was dim, and the distance was far away, so she couldn't see whether there were people in the sedan chair?

"Rong Tao was ordered by the emperor to welcome the princess back to China to save her relatives, and asked the princess to open the city gate." The enemy was a young general, and when he spoke to her, he bowed his hand, but did not dismount. He saw that although there was only one person on the city wall, he didn't dare to act rashly, so as not to fall for her plan like General Zuo.

Man Yao looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under the city with cold eyes, and his face was calm as usual. She hooked her lips slightly, looked at the sedan chair in the distance, mocked lightly, and laughed loudly: "Such a big battle, it turned out to be to pick me up!" The royal brother is so kind of love, which makes Rong Le feel ashamed in his heart. I should have gone back with you, but Rongle was pregnant, and it was not suitable for a long journey, and I asked the general to return on my behalf, and I asked the imperial brother to understand. ”

Rong Tao's face was a little ugly, and he replied: "It's better for the princess to report to the emperor in person." If the princess does not want to go through the city gates, then ...... The ministers had no choice but to let them go up to the wall to fetch you down. "After that, you have to attack with your hands.

Man Yao smiled and said, "What is General Rong anxious about?" ”

Rong Tao said: "The minister has the emperor's order, and it is imperative to welcome the princess back to the court, and I hope the princess will forgive me!" ”

"Oh?" She stared and smiled, her smile was as bright as the morning glow, and the words that came out of her mouth were low and cold, "I don't know...... What does the royal brother want you to greet a living person? Or a dead man? ”

Rong Tao was stunned, his eyes turned slightly, and his brows furrowed. After thinking about it, he replied: "Your Majesty...... It was not explained. However, with the respect of the princess, unless it is absolutely necessary, the minister will never want to hurt the princess's jade body. When he spoke, he mostly looked at his hands or the ground, and occasionally looked up, but also avoided the suffocating beauty, especially the eyes, which were clear and clear, and the wisdom was deep, and once he met, he felt as if his soul could be seen through by those eyes at a glance.

Man Yao just stared at his eyes, without blinking, and said helplessly: "That's it, then okay." I can go with you, but I have a request. ”

"Princess, please speak."

"I'll go with you, you are not allowed to attack the city again." ”

"This ......" Rong Tao hesitated slightly, the emperor didn't say, if the princess agreed, what should he do, is to continue to attack the city? Or withdraw troops back to the camp? After thinking about it slightly, he said, "The princess will come down first." ”

In the face of his obviously perfunctory answer, Manyao was not annoyed, and still had a smile on his face.

Rong Tao raised his head unconsciously, and smiled at him with a faint soft smile, which was not as cold and unapproachable as the rumors. He was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt ignited in the tiger's eyes, such a fairy-looking woman, defenseless, weak and slender, could she really easily destroy their army of 100,000 without much effort? A woman like her doesn't look like a person with bloody hands on her hands!

Under his gaze, Manyao gradually smiled, her eyebrows were dyed with sorrow, and the corners of her lips were sad, and she sighed, "It's okay." It's just that...... No matter what Rong Le said, she was also the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty, so she couldn't even say hello and leave without permission. ”

Rong Tao thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he asked, "Does the princess want to leave a letter to Nandi?" ”

"Faith doesn't have to be." She turned to look at the north, with countless thoughts in her eyes, and her expression was sad and sad, which made people feel unbearable when they looked at it. She said faintly: "Since he ascended the throne as the emperor, the state affairs have been busy, and I have been married to him for more than a year, and I have not played a song for him. Today, I will send lovesickness with a song, hoping that he can feel my mood even if he is thousands of miles away. ”

With emotion, no one can refuse. Even if you are an iron-blooded man, there will be a moment of soft-heartedness. Rong Tao's eyes flickered a few times, and after thinking about it, he took a few steps back and nodded, "Okay." Then ask the princess to play here, so that I can wait for a feast. ”

"Thank you, General Rong, for making it happen." She turned to the city wall and shouted, "Come, get the harp."

…… At the same time, the Northern Dynasty, the capital.

The palace was heavily guarded, and 50,000 Praetorian Guards were stationed at the gates, ready to fight at any time.

At the same time, the 200,000 troops of the Northern Dynasty withdrew from the eastern and western borders to intercept the Yumen Pass from behind and block the southern army in the middle.

In terms of military strength, the southern army was superior, and in terms of geographical superiority, it was more favorable to the northern dynasty.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties seem to have reached the last stand.

At this time, in the Yumen Pass, an adjutant general looked anxious and said: "General, the southern army has already arrived in the city, let's go and rescue the driver quickly." ”

The man known as the general had a serious face and nodded cautiously: "Order, the whole army will be reorganized immediately." ”

"Yes." The lieutenant general received the order and was about to go down to give the order, when a guard hurriedly came to report: "General, I just intercepted a Southern Korean messenger outside the city and searched for this." ”

The man handed over a letter stamped with the seal of the Southern Dynasty with both hands, and the general took it, briefly browsed it, looked overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Good, good!" God help me! With this letter, the danger of the capital can be solved. We don't have to send troops, we just wait here for them to turn back. You, immediately send this letter to the Southern Emperor, Vice General Zeng, order people to prepare more bows, arrows and stones, and we will defend the city gate. ”

Adjutant General Zeng asked strangely, "What does the letter say?" Worthy of the general's such pleasure? ”

The general said a few words casually and handed him the letter directly, "See for yourself." ”

When the deputy general saw it, he was also overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's really good news!" Send it to Nandi, hmph, isn't it great to be worry-free? What do I think of him this time? ”

The guard took the letter, went out and mounted his horse, and headed straight for the capital.

The capital, the smoke and flames of war, the momentum is extremely tense.

Zong Zheng Wuchou was dressed in a golden helmet and armor, standing on the city wall with his back hand, and in front of him were dense archers, and the guards with swords on the left and right protected him in the center. His face was calm and calm, and he lowered his eyes to look at the imposing man in golden armor under the city wall.

Zong Zheng sat proudly on horseback, with the Nine Emperor Princes and Wuxiangzi on the left and right, behind him were the 7,000 Xuanyi Iron Cavalry of the Shura Seven Evils, and then there were more than 200,000 Southern Dynasty troops with high morale.

His expression was cold, his phoenix eyes were evil and gloomy, and he looked coldly at the man on the city wall, and his hands clenched unconsciously. It's time to clear the account between him and the mother and son!

"Fu Chip, open the door and surrender, I will protect your whole body." Zongzheng sneered contemptuously.

Zongzheng sneered: "I'm not worrying about your Zongzheng!" I will never surrender to my enemies. Even if you let the horse come, the grievances between us will be settled today. ”

The feud between them is so deep that it takes blood and death to end it.

"Good. It's time to wrap it up! Zong Zhengwu's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty color, his long arm waved, and his thin lips coldly spit out two words: "Attack - city——! ”

The emperor gave an order, and the army that was ready to wait rushed forward in response, flying like a degree, and at this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Wait, wait!" ”

The guards who came from the gate held up the letters in their hands and hurriedly called them to stop. The Southern army in the rear stepped forward and drove their spears to his neck. "Who are you?"

"Regardless of who I am, please present this letter to Nandi. The content of this letter is related to the life and death of the Southern Dynasty and your imperial concubine. ”

The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty took the letter suspiciously, looked at the seal on it, quickly accepted the letter, and rode around to the emperor's horse with a sound of "driving". Dismounted, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, someone sent a letter." ”

Zong Zheng Wuwu glanced at it lightly, and the Nine Emperor Princes took it and took a look, and exclaimed: "Seventh brother, it's an eight-hundred-mile urgent battle report!" ”

Zong Zheng frowned, "Read." ”

"Oh." The Nine Emperors opened the letter and read: "The Qiyun Kingdom invaded in a big way, and on the thirteenth, it broke through eight cities in a row, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the 300,000 army approached Wucheng, and Wucheng was in an emergency. There were no reinforcements in the court, and the imperial concubine resolutely went despite the obstruction of the ministers, and Miss Xiao accompanied her...... Yes! Seventh brother, seventh sister-in-law and Xiao Ke's girl went to Wucheng! There are only 50,000 defenders in Wucheng! ”

Zong Zheng's eyes changed without worry, and he didn't wait for him to read it anymore, so he snatched the letter, swept it at a glance, frowned tightly, and scolded: "Nonsense!" "Is that woman crazy?

She tightened the report with five fingers, shocked and angry.

The Nine Emperor Princes said anxiously: "What should I do?" Brother Seven, let's go back and save them. ”

Wuxiangzi said unusually calmly: "Never! We have sacrificed countless soldiers, it is not easy to fight in the capital, and seeing that great things are about to be accomplished, how can we withdraw from the army? Naught! "As a general, he should think from the perspective of national interests.

The Nine Emperor Princes argued: "When we have repelled the Qiyun army, we will fight again." ”

Wuxiangzi twisted his eyebrows and said: "The prince said it simply! At that time, our soldiers were tired of running, and the emperor of the Northern Dynasty and their 200,000 troops converged to wait for work, and we fought again, and both sides were defeated. If Emperor Qiyun raises troops again, how can we resist? If this continues, the recovery of the Northern Dynasty is far away. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes said: "Then you can't just leave it alone!" Could it be that Wucheng and Jiangdu are both handed away? What should I do with my seventh sister-in-law? Don't forget, the seventh sister-in-law is carrying the future prince of our Southern Dynasty in her belly! You're going to ignore her? ”

Wuxiangzi said: "As long as you occupy the capital and stabilize the foundation, it will not be too late to recapture the river in the future." As for Niangniang's safety, I think there should be no need to worry about this, after all, Niangniang is the sister of Emperor Qiyun, a close relative, even if Emperor Qiyun is insidious and cunning, he will not obviously ask for Niangniang's life, as long as Niangniang is still alive, she will come back if she has the opportunity. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes said: "You said it easily, others don't know, and you don't know that the last time Xuande Hall happened, it was all caused by Emperor Qiyun." If he really thought that the seventh sister-in-law was his sister, how could he harm her like that? ”

Wuxiangzi frowned, and before he could speak again, he heard Zong Zheng Wuwu shouting: "Enough!" ”

The two immediately shut up. Zong Zheng pursed his thin lips without worry, looking at the enemy who was close at hand, the country at his fingertips, he clenched the letter in his hand, frowned, gritted his teeth and said: "Withdraw!" ”

As soon as the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they immediately ordered a retreat in a loud voice.

Wuxiangzi shook his head and sighed: "It will take more than half a month from the capital but Wucheng, and when the time comes, let alone Wucheng, I'm afraid that Jiangdu will fall." And if we lose Jiangdu and fail to take the capital, won't we be empty? Your Majesty, have you really decided? "I've been following him for several years, and I've long understood his temper, but I can't help but ask again at this moment, although I know it's redundant. Sure enough, Zong Zheng Wuwu didn't answer, didn't even look at him more, only turned around the dock and galloped towards the direction of Yumen Pass.

"Huh? Why did they suddenly withdraw their troops? "On the city wall, the Praetorian Guards of the Northern Dynasty felt strange. Zongzheng Wuzhi's face was even more puzzled, from Zongzheng Wuwu receiving the letter to deciding to withdraw from the army, Zhongcai worked for a short time, what was it that made Zongzheng Wuwu, who hated him to the bone, not hesitate to give up this great opportunity to defeat him? He looked at the back of Zongzheng Wuwu who took the lead in riding away, and his heart was faintly uneasy, so he ordered someone to summon the messenger under the city.

"Raise it." Fu Yuan went up to the city wall surrounded by several palace people, and Zongzheng frowned, "Why is the queen mother here?" ”

"I heard that there was an enemy attack on the city, and my mother was worried about you, so I came over to take a look." Fu Yuan said and looked at the empty city wall, was slightly stunned, and asked, "What about people?" ”

Zong Zheng said without a plan: "Retreat." ”

Fu Yuan was stunned, his voice unconsciously raised a little, and he asked intuitively, "Retreated?" Why? With such a great opportunity, how could Zongzheng let it go? ”

Her unexpected expression, which seemed to be from the heart, made a trace of doubt and deep thinking appear in Zong Zhengwu's eyes, he stared, fixed on his mother, his eyes were deep, "What's the matter, could it be that the queen mother wants him to come in?" ”

Fu Yuan's face changed slightly, his eyes flashed suddenly, and then he said with an unhappy face: "What is the emperor talking about?" The mourning family just felt strange and was worried about what kind of conspiracy and tricks Zong Zheng was playing, so he reminded you. Although the mourning family wants to see him die, for the mother, the safety of her son's life is the most important thing. As the queen mother of a country, the stability of the country is also the most concerned by the mourning family. ”

Zong Zheng listened without a plan, his eyes slowly drooped, and he smiled faintly, noncommittal.

Seeing him look like this, Fu Yuan frowned slightly, and his voice softened, "What's wrong with Chip'er lately?" There seems to be a lot on the mind. ”

Zong Zheng turned his head to look outside the city without a plan, and his long and deep eyes couldn't see the expression, "The queen mother is too worried." ”

"Little one, please meet Your Majesty! Meet the Queen Mother! The guard of the Imperial Gate who delivered the letter knelt down and saluted, and Zongzheng did not reply without a head, and asked, "Where did you get the letter you sent to Zongzheng without worry?" What does the letter say? ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it was found by the villain from the envoy of the Southern Dynasty who was intercepted outside the imperial gate. The villain didn't read the letter, and listened to the meaning of the general and the deputy general, it seemed that Emperor Qiyun led his troops to attack Wucheng in the Southern Dynasty, and there were no reinforcements to send in the Southern Dynasty, and the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty went to Wucheng alone to defend against the enemy. ”

Zong Zheng was stunned, and it was really her reason! Only she can make Zongzheng give up his hard-won opportunity for revenge without worry, and turn around and leave desperately.

His handsome eyebrows gradually twisted, there are no soldiers and no generals, what is she going to do by herself?

"You said that Emperor Qiyun led his troops to attack the Southern Dynasty?" This sentence was asked by Fu Yuan, and her expression was a little strange, as if she didn't believe it.

The guard answered "yes". Fu Yuan sensed that Zong Zheng Wuqiao was looking at her, so she quickly restrained her thoughts, a smile tugged at her lips, and she said as if she was happy: "Emperor Qiyun's soldier is really timely, and it can be regarded as a great favor for us. What is General Yan going to do at Yumen Pass? ”

The guard said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, General Yan said, defend the city gate!" ”

The smile on Fu Yuan's lips was no longer stiff, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Zong Zheng's eyes deepened, he looked in the direction of the distant Southern Dynasty, pondered for a moment, and ordered as if he had made some kind of decision: "Pass on my oracle and order General Yan to open the city gate and let the southern army pass." ”

"What? You're going to let him go? You...... You can take advantage of such a great opportunity. Raising ......"

Zong Zheng turned around and interrupted: "Queen Mother, you have been out for a long time, it's time to go back to the palace." I'll go back with you. As he spoke, he went to help Fu Yuan leave, and when he went down the stairs, he looked back in the direction of Nanchao. said silently in his heart: Rong Le, I hope he can go back in time to save you!

…… Southern Dynasty, Wucheng.

A guqin was sent to the head of the city wall, and on the piano case, a piece of music was spread out, and three words were written on it: "Requiem".

He shook his sleeves and placed his slender fingers on the strings.

Raising his eyes with a smile, he swept away the army under the city. With the plucking of the fingers, a string of notes flows out from the fingertips, empty and clear, like a natural sound, touching the heartstrings, and directly touching the softest place in the bottom of the heart. It was just the beginning, and the soldiers in the city who didn't know the rhythm of music were fascinated by it, as if they were brought into a wonderful illusion by the sound of the piano.

Rong Tao's heart moved when he heard this, and a fantastic beauty unconsciously emerged in front of him.

The quiet forest streams and mountain streams, the yellow sand is far away, the golden iron horse is no more, only the lush grass and trees, and the spring water tinkles like a light bell. The water color is blue and clear, hold a handful of clear springs, the entrance is as sweet as nectar, people can't help but be happy, and imagine the prosperous era of Qingping one day. I was about to take another handful and taste it carefully, when suddenly the sound of the piano in my ears turned, the mountains and forests in front of me turned into a large sea of flowers, and the beautiful butterflies danced in the flowers, like a young woman wearing a thin veil, and the graceful body loomed, confusing people's minds...... Manyao's red lips were slightly hooked, and she didn't look at the battlefield soldiers who were holding blood-drinking blades, but their faces were already intoxicated, her fingertips became heavier, and the sound of the piano changed from Qingyue to deep and atmospheric.

Rong Tao seems to be in the magnificent sea and between the peaks, looking at the clouds and mist like a dream...... When he was intoxicated, suddenly, the beast roared in his ears, and the wild wolves and tigers in the mountains swarmed from all directions, with bloodthirsty eyes, sharp teeth, and an expression that wanted to tear him apart and devour him...... The turquoise water turned into thick blood in an instant, and the smell of fishy stuff filled the tip of his nose, stimulating the violent factor buried in the deepest part of his body.

He raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the wild wolves and beasts that rushed over, blood splattered, he felt a hot and humid viscosity on his face, and the bloody breath on the tip of his nose became thicker and thicker, making people almost nauseated, but he smelled excited.

Once Rong Tao's sword was raised, it could no longer stop. The bronze armor, flowing with blood-colored bright red, his eyes were bloodthirsty as if he had fallen into a demon, his face was hideous, and he mechanically repeated the killing action, cutting people when he saw them, like crazy.

Not only him, but all the people under the walls at this time.

At this moment, they don't know who they are, and they don't know who the other party is, in their eyes and hearts, there is only one word: kill! Kill! Kill!

Xiang Wu, the two lieutenants, and Xiao Ke, who were hidden at the staircase of the city wall, were shocked by such a cruel scene. Xiang Wu and the two lieutenants looked at those people in shock, no, those crazy butchers who could no longer be called people, but lost their minds.

It turns out that a beautiful piano sound can really be turned into a life-urging talisman, so terrifying!

Xiao Kemu walked out, stood beside Manyao, looked at Manyao flying with slender and agile fingers, and then looked at the music score next to her, her face gradually turned pale. This "Requiem" was created by her master "Snow Lonely Holy Maiden", and she once wanted to pass it on to her, but she didn't like to practice martial arts by nature. And this piece must have the cooperation of internal forces in order to play its role. The stronger the internal force, the greater the lethality.

Xiao Ke only knew that this song was very powerful and could kill people, but he didn't know that it could also turn people into ghosts. I had never seen such a grand slaughter scene, looking at the tumbling heads on the chaotic battlefield, the internal organs flowing out of the body that had been split in half, and the blood meandering into a river. She couldn't accept it for a while, her stomach churned violently, and she hurriedly ran to the side, bending over and vomiting.

Listening to the sound of fighting below, his eyes only looked at the score, and he didn't dare to think about anything, and he didn't want to think about anything. If she was not forced to do so, she would never want to use this method to kill her compatriots in this body. She slowly closed her eyes, the blood in the air slowly soaking into her heart, and her ears echoed with the terrible wails of those people before they died.

My heart trembled and I was suffocating. How she wished she could stop this brutal killing, if she could.

At this moment, a sharp arrow burst out of the air, and shot towards her from the sedan chair on the stone platform in the distance.

The sound of "whoosh", the swiftness, the resolute attitude, the momentum that no one can stop.

Xiang Wu exclaimed: "Niangniang, be careful! ”

When she opened her eyes, she saw the oncoming arrow, glittering with a blinding white glow in the sunlight. She didn't react, because the song, once it started, couldn't help but stop halfway.

She thought she was going to die! However, the arrow was not aimed at her, but at the piano in front of her.

"Zheng!"

The strings are broken, the piano is ruined, and the sound is broken.

She looked up in astonishment, and on the stone platform a hundred feet away, a man stepped out of the sedan chair, wearing a golden crown and a bright yellow dragon robe, looking at her from a distance. She couldn't make out the man's expression, not even his face.

There was someone in the sedan chair that she didn't expect, and to her surprise, at such a distance, he could shoot the qin in front of her so accurately, not her.

Looking at the piano and piano case that were split by the power of the arrow, she realized that his archery skills were so good!

The enemy soldiers under the city suddenly came to their senses, looked at their comrades who died under their swords in disbelief, looked at the mutilated corpses all over the ground, a monstrous anger suddenly rose, and the remaining tens of thousands of people stared at the white-clothed woman on the city wall, just now I thought she was as beautiful as a fairy, but now when I look at it, I only feel that this woman is as terrible as the devil, and it is hateful.

Rong Tao looked up at her, his angry eyes full of hatred. He raised his sword as if he wanted to chop her to pieces at once. He couldn't believe that this woman with a fairy-like temperament and appearance was their emperor's favorite princess, how could he bear to treat them with such cruel means?

He gave her one last sad look, turned around, and faced the rest of the soldiers, his voice mixed with pain and hatred: "Soldiers, this woman has used tricks to make us become murderers of her own soldiers, we don't need to be polite to her anymore. Such a person is no longer worthy to be our princess. Brothers, rush up and kill her! ”

"Kill her! Kill her! "The power of hatred is infinite. The screams of killing almost shook the city.

Manyao's fingers that were cut by the strings slowly clenched, looking at the soldiers who were overwhelmed by the anger of hatred, her heart was suffocated, she didn't look back, and ordered the people behind her: "Vice General Yao, send Xiao Ke away immediately." ”

Xiang Wu knelt on the ground with a bang, "Niangniang, you can go too." This is handed over to the minister, and the minister will do his best, even if he tries his last breath, he will fight to the end and swear to protect Wucheng. ”

Vice General Yao and another deputy general also knelt down and bowed: "It's love, Niangniang, go quickly!" ”

He glanced at Xiao Ke, who was still vomiting and seemed to be about to faint, and saw Vice General Yao's gaze sink, and said coldly: "This is the order of the palace." Do you dare to disobey? ”

Vice General Yao was stunned for a moment, and wanted to persuade again, but Xiang Wu saw that her face was unshakably resolute, so he had to sigh and signal Vice General Yao to do as he was told.

Xiao Ke paused slightly, turned around and protested: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to accompany the princess sister......"

Man Yao frowned, stepped forward and clicked on her acupoint, and instructed Deputy General Yao: "Hurry up." At this time, the enemy ladder had already been set up, and the soldiers poured oil on the enemy troops who were swarming under the city, lit torches and threw them over, and the fire burst into flames, and the momentum was extremely violent.

The soldiers who had been poured oil screamed in pain in the fire, and the heart-rending sound was higher and higher, piercing people's eardrums.

The fire did not completely stop the angry warriors, and some rushed forward on the corpses in the fire, desperate to climb the walls and kill her.

Xiang Wu and the lieutenant general swung his sword to slash and kill the enemies who climbed the city wall, but there were too few of them after all, and there were more and more enemies who went up to the city wall, and they all rushed away.

Man Yao picked up the Xuanluo, his eyes were like a crane, he touched his stomach, took a deep breath, and stabbed the sword into the enemy's body mercilessly.

Her hands were already covered in blood, and she didn't care about killing more.

I don't know how long it took, she felt that her hands were about to lose sensation, there was scarlet everywhere in front of her, her body seemed to have been splashed with a basin of blood, and she couldn't see the original color in white clothes. The people around her fell one by one, and she and Xiang Wu were still fighting. Xiang Wu, like her, is a whole bloody person, and he can't tell which is the enemy's blood and which is his own blood.

Seeing that there were more and more enemies on the city wall, Xiang Wuyan anxiously shouted: "Niangniang, you can go!" Wucheng can be lost, but you and the unborn little prince in your womb must not be fine. Please, let's go! ”

Man Yao smiled bitterly: "I can't go." "Maybe anyone in this city has a chance to leave, but she can't. I don't know what the battle situation is at the east and west gates?

She was thinking about it, and someone in the city came to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the enemy army at the West City Gate has retreated, more than half of the more than 20,000 soldiers of our army have been killed or wounded, and the remaining soldiers are rushing here, please Niangniang must hold on!" ”

Before Manyao had time to give birth to a trace of relief, someone came to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, East City Gate...... The East City Gate is almost impossible to keep! ”
