Chapter 478: Attack and Defense, Love and Hatred

The armor was cold, and the snow was cold.

What is colder than this bad weather is the eyes of people.

Above the city tower, Qin Tian, who was wearing armor, was protected by a group of guards, looking at the countless troops below with cold eyes, and his body exuded a monstrous killing intent.

These people were once his troops, who were supposed to defend the side of the Son of Heaven, but now, they aimed their weapons at themselves, and they couldn't wait to take their own heads.

His eyes passed through the still sculpture-like phalanx, and he saw three bows that were amazingly powerful. Crossbows, giant crossbows as thick as tree trunks, were already on the strings, waiting to leave hideous scars on the mottled walls.

The chariots, catapults, and ladders have long been prepared, and perhaps when the order is given to the east, these ugly instruments will make the Tang soldiers who still hold on to it pay a heavy price.

Before receiving the order, none of the rebels acted on their own, but the desire in the eyes of many people could not be concealed, and that desire was called greed.

Between the queues, suddenly a carriage accompanied by more than 20 fast horses drove out of the formation and stopped at a place not too far from the city wall.

This sudden change made all the Tang defenders stand by and aim their bows and arrows at the carriage at the same time.

Under the city walls.

The guards holding huge shields to prevent the Tang Army's sneak attack respectfully lifted the curtain, and the gray-haired Dongfang Yuanxing bowed down and stepped on the wheels, raised his somewhat shriveled face, and squinted at the city tower.

An old man and a young man, their eyes touching in the air.

At this time, Dongfang Yuanxing has long lost the appearance of a generation of heroes, and in more than half a year, he has been so thin that only skin and bones remain, his back is no longer straight, and even his hand on crutches is trembling slightly. He seemed to be very afraid of the cold, wrapped in layers of cotton clothes on his body, and his eyes full of vicissitudes of life did not have the calmness of the past, but flashed with unforgettable hatred.

"Where is Yu Songnan!"

He had long lost the patience to beat around the bush, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked aggressive questions.

Qin Tian smiled slightly, he had never seen the old fox's gaffe, and today he saw it, so he was very happy.

"You are leading so many rebels all the way north, is it just to ask me if I know the whereabouts of your son?"

Dongfang Yuanxing's pupils contracted suddenly, and his face became extremely pale.

Yu Songnan is his illegitimate son, and no one knows about it except the two of them. Qin Tian was able to break Yu Songnan's identity in one mouth, which was enough to prove that this disobedient son was in Bianjing City.

He couldn't figure it out. Yu Songnan told the court the secret that he was the son of the biggest rebel leader, which was no different from looking for death. With his intellect, how could he do such an unwise thing?

Knowing that Qin Tian deliberately provoked him with words, Dongfang Yuanxing forced himself to calm down: "There are some things that the old minister can find by himself, so he won't bother the emperor." The old minister came today, but he was really not used to seeing what the court was doing. Now the Western Regions are full of smoke, the people of the Tang Dynasty are not happy, and the traitors in the court are in charge, and in the long run, the country will not be a country! ”

Qin Tian sneered, "Then what do you want?" ”

"The old minister knew that the emperor had been deeply deceived by traitors, so he took a risk, and would rather bear the infamy of the ages than lead the people north. If the emperor is willing to open the city gates, reorganize the court, and kill the slanderers, we are still willing to serve the court! ”

Qin Tian was still smiling on his face, but the hand behind his back was clenched into a fist. How can he say such a reversal of black and white to confuse the public!

"What if I don't agree?"

"That old minister had to wake up the emperor!"

"Hahaha, what a wake-up! Oriental thief, people say that everything is empty when you are old, but I didn't expect you to be not only empty, but more and more shameless. Qin Tian laughed and said, "I have been acting with you all my life, and now I am really tired." If you like to go to the theater, I suggest you go to the West Xuanmen, where someone has prepared a good play for you. ”

A good show?

Hearing these four words, Dongfang Yuanxing immediately thought of Tang An.

The ant who has never been taken into account by himself has repeatedly ruined his own good deeds. He saved Lan Haitang from danger, destroyed his plot to assassinate Qin Tian, and lost the Wei family, an important source of funds, and just got the news that even the Xia Kingdom disturbed the border because of this young man.

Could it be... This guy is his own natural nemesis?

Dongfang traveled far away and didn't believe in fate, but Qin Tian's unfathomable expression made him feel fear.

Glancing deeply at the young little emperor, he seemed to have lost interest in talking, and returned to the carriage: "Go to Xixuanmen." The old man wants to see what tricks he can play. ”

He had already lost a son, and when he saw the headless corpse of Dongfang Xuanyu in the barracks, his whole person seemed to have been drained of all his strength.

What is the purpose of a man who has half a foot in a coffin, but who has taken the risk of starting a rebellion? Don't you want the Dongfang family to have someone to succeed him and realize his dream of dominating the world? But the descendants did not wait, but his son died first. The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and an ambitious old man is heartbroken.

Now, he has only one son left.

He didn't want Yu Songnan to reveal his identity. On the one hand, he was worried that Dongfang Xuanyan would not be able to sit on the throne, even if Datang was subverted in the future, he would still be able to save the next bloodline. On the other hand, he feared that his brothers would kill each other for the throne.

But he did a thousand calculations, but he missed people's hearts.

He didn't expect that a person who had been trying to make a name for himself but was doomed to nothing would do such an appalling thing.

Whenever he thought of Dongfang Xuan's headless corpse, his heart always felt as if he had been stabbed severely. But the murderer is his other son, how should he face it?

In the middle of a thousand thoughts, the carriage slowly drove to the West Xuanmen.

The winter sun was white, and the east traveled far away to hold back tears and squint at the city tower.

He found that his movements were redundant, and people like Tang An would not be ignored anywhere, even on a dangerous battlefield.

Before he could tell who he was looking for from the soldiers in the city's armor, he heard a familiar voice coming.

"Listen to the rebels outside the city! You're surrounded! You are under fire and surrender! ”

The rebels looked at each other: surrounded? Does this guy have a clear picture of the situation, it's clear that we are surrounding you! Could it be that this is the thousand-selected general in the capital?

Dongfang Yuanxing sighed. The so-called easy to change nature is difficult to change, and it is a person like Tang An. It's ridiculous that his plans will be ruined again and again in the hands of such a beam-jumping clown, and he still wants to win him over like crazy, which is too ridiculous.

"You listened to the instigation of villains, causing the people to suffer from wars and precariousness, and you can be described as the sinners of the Tang Dynasty. If you are willing to turn back, I guarantee that the emperor will not be guilty of the past. Think about your family, once you are infamous as a rebel and a thief, how can your children be able to hold their heads up and be human beings in the future? How disappointed should you be with your gray-haired parents? How sad should your mother-in-law be when she sends the frontier? Wake up, the sea of bitterness is boundless, and the shore is the shore, and the obsession is a dead end......"

Watching this guy use a funnel-shaped wooden cone barrel to his mouth, releasing his voice surprisingly loud, Dongfang Yuan only felt dizzy in his head.

If this guy still has a little strength, I'm afraid it's his ability to charm people. If he is allowed to continue to agitate, no one dares to say whether there will be a secret change in the army.

Dongfang Yuanxing got out of the carriage, still approaching the city wall accompanied by the guards, and said loudly: "Tang An! ”

Without him to speak, Tang An had already noticed this old immortal who came out of the crowd. When he saw that he was surrounded by guards holding huge shields, his brows frowned slightly, and he whispered to Ma Shangshu next to him: "Hey, can you shoot that old man under such strict protection?" ”

Marchand scratched his head, embarrassed: "My lord, that shield is too thick, I'm afraid I can't shoot through." ”

"You have to try it to know, but if you shoot an arrow, what if you shoot it? Shooting the enemy's leader and surrendering the soldier without a fight is a credit that no one can take away from him. Tang An instigated like a devil.

Ma Shangshu's heart was so excited when he heard this, and without saying a word, he drew out an arrow and shot a soul-chasing arrow with great speed!

"Do!"

Thanks to the guard's quick eyes, he hurriedly set up a black giant shield and blocked Dongfang Yuanxing's body. Rao was like this, and the tip of the arrow was still fiercely inserted into the metal shield, which showed the power of this arrow.

The two armies fought each other, comparing strategy and tactics, and the soldiers were brave. And when negotiating before the battle, the ordinary generals also wanted to do it, but they couldn't do it.

Tang An did it, and did it so naturally and freely. The rebels were stunned for a long time, and then they realized what was happening, and they began to curse.

"Hidden arrows hurt people, what kind of heroes are you!"

"Despicable and shameless!"

"Stinky and shameless!"

Tang An couldn't hide the disappointed expression on his face, and then raised the self-made megaphone again, and said, "What are you arguing about, do you know that you are rebels?" Our arrow is the arrow of justice! ”

Correct... Justice? How good is this Lord Tang's psychological quality to be able to say such an insidious move in such a bright and upright tone?

Saying that, Tang An turned his head to look at Dongfang Yuanxing, and said with a sympathetic expression: "Old thing, you are about to enter the earth, why do you want to be the emperor?" Look at you - like a gust of wind will blow down, are you sure you'll survive this night? ”

Before Dongfang Yuanxing could speak, the guard next to him said, "Bastard! Our Lord Xiangguo is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and it is only because of the traitors in the court that we ......"

"Shut up, it's not your place to speak!"

Tang An roared unceremoniously, and stared at Dongfang Yuan with blazing eyes: "Old thing, you deceived this group of fools into being willing to work for you, and you thought that you had taken advantage of the great reason." It's a shame that you don't go to be a god stick. I guess...... You must not have told them that you planned the coup d'Γ©tat thirteen years ago, right? Oh yes, you colluded with the Xia people to invade the borders of the Western Regions, and promised people to cede the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions after you completed the matter, they shouldn't know about it, right? ”

In the rebel formation, everyone looked shocked. They looked at the old man with a rickety figure in disbelief, and secretly sighed that Lord Xiangguo had served the country all his life, how could he do such a rebellious thing?

They are waiting for an explanation.

Dongfang Yuanxing understood Tang An's sinister intention to sow discord, so he had no intention of delaying time at all, and snorted with a frosty face: "Lord Tang, the old man has no time to chat with you." The emperor asked the old man to come to Xixuanmen to have a look, I don't know what you are going to show the old man? ”
