Chapter 399 Under the afterglow of the sunset, the trees were coated with a layer of golden glow, and the faint gold softened the dense and beautiful forest a lot, adding a little hazy and mysterious color.

In the depths of the forest, there is a pair of beautiful people riding side by side, while enjoying the beauty of the sunset, while chasing all kinds of wild animals in the jungle, from time to time there is a woman's crisp and tactful whisper, which makes the yellow oriole in the forest ashamed of itself.

These two people are Gao Wei, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty who came to Bingzhou for leisure, and his favorite concubines Feng Xiaolian and Feng Shufei.

"Your Majesty, look, there's an elk there!" The two walked for a while, Feng Xiaolian's eyes suddenly lit up, pointed to an elk in the bushes thirty meters away, and said in a low voice.

"Oh?" Gao Wei raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the quiet elk with the green fingers of the beautiful woman, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Ai Concubine, wait a minute, look at me!" As he spoke, Gao Wei untied a very ornate longbow decorated with intricate patterns from the saddle, lifted his breath and tightened his abdomen, stretched his bow and took the arrow, holding his breath and concentrating, and aiming at it.

Now that Gao Wei's "Recipe for Longevity" has reached the second level, his physique has been greatly improved, and he is no longer the cowardly emperor who can't pick his shoulders, can't lift his hands, doesn't divide the grains, and doesn't work hard.

"Hey!"

After a while, Gao Wei exhaled, and as soon as his right hand was released, the feather arrow shot at the elk with a terrible scream.

Xu felt the murderous aura in the air, and the elk that was looking down for food suddenly raised its head, its hooves were beaten, and its body suddenly rushed forward, leaving only a faint black shadow in the air.

Gao Wei was originally confident that he could do it with one arrow, but he never thought that the feather arrow would only hit the elk's tail without causing it any real damage, and the frightened elk spread its four hooves and disappeared into the depths of the jungle in the blink of an eye.

"Yikes!" When Feng Xiaolian saw the elk fleeing, he immediately exclaimed, his face full of disappointment. Cushman & Wakefield sees it in his eyes, and his anger is in his heart. I wanted to show it in front of the beauties, but I didn't think of an ugly one, which made the emperor's face greatly damaged, and I was very unhappy in my heart.

"Little brute, look where you are going! Drive! Cushman looked at the disappearing figure of the elk with resentment, and with a roar of rage, he was about to chase after him.

"Your Majesty—" At this moment, there was a sudden anxious long shout from behind him. Gao Wei grabbed the reins of his horse, looked back, and saw Gao Anahue riding in the dust, and was rushing towards him. Gao Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Anaqiu with some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has an urgent military intelligence report!" Without waiting for the horse to stop, Gao Anagi jumped off his horse, came to the high position in embarrassment, and saluted while presenting the battle report in his hand.

"What's going on?" Gao Wei asked in a deep voice while motioning to the guards around him to take the battle report. Although Gao Anaqi is his cronies, it disturbs Gao Wei's interest in having fun, how can Gao Wei give him a good face. If it is an official who is generally not pleasing to the eye, it is not as simple as a calm face, and it is likely to lose his head.

"Back to Your Majesty, 300,000 Zhou troops rushed to Jinzhou, and 100,000 troops besieged Pingyang, just two days of effort, Pingyang fell into the hands of Yuwen Yong!" Gao Anahu adjusted his chaotic breathing and said with a frightened expression.

"What?" Gao Wei exclaimed, pulled over the battle report, and looked at it carefully, his face was cloudy. Soon, Gao Wei raised his head and said with a heavy and serious face: "Gao Aiqing, pass the order, you can pull out the camp and return to the city, and at the same time let King Ande gather 100,000 defenders in the state and prepare to go south against the Zhou army!" ”

"Yes!" Gao Anqiu solemnly agreed, saluted Gao Wei, and rode away.

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you are worried about the war in Jinju, and her heart is like an arrow. However, if you want to hurry, you can't make mistakes, according to the humble opinion of the concubine, you should calm down first in order to better deal with military affairs. Feng Xiaolian put away her flattery, looked at Gao Wei with concern, and said seriously.

Gao Wei was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "What do you mean?" ”

Feng Xiaolian chuckled, in the afterglow of the setting sun, a faint golden glow was covered on her fair and pink cheeks, and even the fluff on her face was delicate, looking hazy and graceful, which made Gao Wei stunned.

"Your Majesty, you might as well hunt more and let the worries and anger in your heart be vented." After a pause, Feng Xiaolian continued: "Although Pingyang City has fallen, the Zhou army cannot come in an instant, with King Ande as the vanguard, there is no danger in annexing the state for the time being. ”

Gao Wei thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and nodded: "What Concubine Ai said is very true. Let's go, when I catch the beast from before, it's not too late to pay attention to the old puppet of Yuwen Yong! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking pity on your concubines!" Feng Xiaolian looked at Gao Wei with a happy face, and looked at Gao Wei with a flushed face, and a pair of small birds stuck to Gao Wei's side.

"Hahahaha!" Gao Wei suddenly let out a hearty laugh, the horsewhip shook, and the "snap" was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and the horse was in pain, and neighed like lightning. Gao Wei's actions were also heroic, but he didn't see it, and Feng Xiaolian's eyes flashed with some smugness and some complicated looks.

Time back to two days ago, Binh Duong City.

"Ah, you sons of bitches, die, die! Kill! Li San fiercely stabbed the spear in his hand into the body of a Zhou soldier who had just climbed the city wall, his face was twisted and hideous, his eyes were blood-red and bloodthirsty, and his mouth let out a roar like a fierce beast.

A person's growth may take years, or even decades, to accumulate, but sometimes it may only take a moment. War and death are undoubtedly the catalysts that can transform people in a moment.

Li San could not forget the situation when a close comrade-in-arms was thrown on the city wall by an enemy catapult and smashed into meat sauce no matter what.

At that moment, he witnessed his comrades' heads exploding like watermelons, red and white brains splattering everywhere, neck and spine being broken raw, and sticky and smelly blood splattering everywhere. Not only that, but he also clearly remembered the shock and despair in his comrades-in-arms' eyes before they died, and those eyes were engraved on Li San's heart like a brand, making him tremble and make him crazy.

He was originally a person who was extremely afraid of death, but when he witnessed the tragic death of his comrades, the whole person suddenly became crazy. If there is no Zhou army, maybe there will be no war, he can eat a full stomach in the army, the old mother at home can also have something to eat, maybe in two years he can talk about a daughter-in-law. However, the sudden arrival of Zhou Jun shattered his humble wishes. He hates, he is angry, since he is going to die, why not pull a few cushions?

If you have no desire, you will be strong, and if you are fearless, you will be strong. A crazy person who is not afraid of death can burst out with terrifying combat power. Just like the current Li San, although he is covered in blood, the whole person is still extremely excited and fierce.

"Kill!"

However, before Li San had time to be complacent, a Zhou army climbed up to the top of the city, and the steel knife in his hand ruthlessly stabbed Li San under the ribs under the cover of his companion's corpse. If it is solid this time, can Li Sanyan have a life? However, at this time, his old strength was gone, and his mental strength was not born, and he couldn't dodge it.

Are you going to die? It's okay to be free!

Li San looked up at the sky in the distance, the colorful sunset was so beautiful, but he couldn't appreciate it anymore. However, Li San waited for a long time, but the enemy's steel knife still did not pierce into his body, but a familiar voice sounded in his ears, "What are you in a daze, you don't want to live anymore?" ”

Li San turned his head to look, but saw Zheng Xing, who was bloody, standing beside him, glaring at him angrily, and Zhou Junju around him was dead.

"Thank you!" Li San said gratefully, but Zheng Xing ignored him, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, be serious, I can save you once, but I can't save you twice!" After saying that, Zheng Xing threw himself to the side and slashed a Zhou army who had just climbed the city wall down the city with a knife.

"Uhhh

The long horn sounded, and the momentum of the frantically attacking Zhou army suddenly weakened, and in the blink of an eye, it receded like a tide, letting go of the devastated battlefield.

From the beginning to the present, the war has been going on for three hours. The moat under Pingyang was filled in an hour by the Zhou army under the cover of catapults, and the Zhou army's foot soldiers were able to climb the city wall to fight.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing have long made the warring sides forget where they are, and only know to move forward and tear apart all the enemies in front of them. The heavy evil breath shattered the beautiful autumn scenery, and the red blood soaked the earth, which was so terrifying.

"Huh-" Watching Zhou Jun retreat, Li San's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his body seemed to have been suddenly drained of all his strength, and he collapsed softly against the cold city wall, although he was panting like a cow and looked tired, but his face had a happy smile for the rest of his life.

"Not dead? Very good! Zheng Xing, who was happily playing, slowly sat down next to Li San and glanced at the latter, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Li San.

"Hehe, hiss-" Li San tugged at the corners of his mouth, but suddenly pulled the wound on his thigh, and immediately bared his teeth in pain.

He sighed happily, took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Li San, but his face was cold, and his body was even more shrouded in a thick evil aura, "Apply it and stop the bleeding!" ”

"Thank you!" Li San pursed Tian's dry lips and said in a hoarse voice. Happy snorted softly, but didn't speak.

The reason why I am happy is like this, in addition to not wanting to expose my identity too high-profile, but also because I am a little unhappy in my heart.

Although the defenders of Pingyang were not soldiers brought out by themselves, they were all fresh lives, they were the people of the Great Qi Empire, and they were poor people loyal to the Gao royal family, and it was really cruel to watch them die so innocently one by one.

Xing Xing really wanted to mobilize all the forces under his command to kill Yuwen Yong without leaving a piece of armor, but he knew that once he made a move, Gao Wei would definitely do his best to strangle himself, and at that time, countless people would be killed and injured because of it. So he could only endure, wait for the best time, and finish his work.

While the soldiers at the head of Pingyang City were nervously eating, helping the wounded, and repairing the fortifications, the Hou Mansion in Pingyang City looked a little weird. Not to mention that there are several guards outside the Hou Mansion, and there are three steps and one post in the mansion, five steps and one sentry, which is heavily guarded and very quiet.
