The water vapor in the room is thick, in the wooden basin, the sound of water is murmuring, and under the reflection of candle shadows, the sable cicada exposes the upper body outside the basin, moving gracefully in the water vapor.

The shallot-like jade arms and the snow-white back are all in the eye, and this scene can't help but make Mink Xiong stunned.

Diao Chan, who was bathing herself, heard the movement, turned her head to look, and met the strange eyes of Diao Xiong.

"Brother, why did you break in?"

Diao Chan's face was crimson, his eyebrows were shy, and he quickly shrank his body into the water with a red face, his eyes were full of shyness and embarrassment.

Diao Xiong came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly turned his head away, turned his back to Diao Chan, and coughed dryly: "I'm here to send something to you, Sister, I'll wait for you outside." ”

After that, Mink Xiong strode out, but he also behaved calmly.

Seeing his righteous brother leaving, Diao Chan's embarrassment eased slightly, and he secretly exhaled, but found that his face was terrifyingly hot, and his breathing was very short.

In her mind, silently, there was a trace of undeserved thoughts.

Immediately, she blamed herself: "Diao Chan, Diao Chan, what are you thinking nonsense, aren't you just bathing my brother by mistake, what's the big deal." ”

Diao Chan blamed herself, forcibly suppressed her beating heart, hurriedly got up to wipe it, and came out with her clothes on.

After a moment, Diao Chan took a deep breath and turned out of the screen.

Diao Xiong looked up and saw his sister-in-law, although she was smiling, but her eyebrows were slightly shy.

After taking a bath again, the skin of her whole body was white and red, and her body was still exuding curling water, a little watery hair was close to her cheeks, and there were still a few drops of water between her eyebrows and ears.

The scene of this beautiful woman bathing in front of him only made Diao Xiong see it, and his heart was pounding.

Diao Chan seemed to see that there was something wrong with his eyes, and his face suddenly turned pale, so he coughed lightly.

Mink Xiong suddenly sobered up, realizing that the Yiren in front of him, although he was not his blood relative, but in the end, he had the fetters of righteousness and Jinlan, how could he be presumptuous.

Taking a deep breath and holding away distracting thoughts, Diao Xiong smiled: "Sister, I brought you some jewelry." ”

As he spoke, Diao Xiong opened the sandalwood box, and the box full of delicate gold hairpins and silver hairpins met Diao Chan's eyes.

"These ...... Are these for me? Diao Chan looked surprised, looking at the box of luxurious jewelry, unable to believe it.

Born as a maidservant, how could she have had such a luxurious decoration, although her daughter's family loves beauty, but she can't think about it.

"Of course, this is all for you, Sister, there will be more today, I said, I must let you enjoy the glory." Diao Xiong said solemnly.

Diao Chan dared to believe it, stretched out his hand tremblingly, caressing the gold and silver jewelry, and his eyes were full of emotion.

In the end, she picked up a delicate golden hairpin, played with it in her hands, and couldn't put it down, so she said, "Brother, you can put it on for your sister." ”

Diao Chan sat down on his knees, facing the bronze mirror and facing away from Diao Xiong.

Diao Xiong took the golden hairpin, knelt down alone, looked at the Diao Chan in the bronze mirror, and gently inserted the hairpin into her black hair.

Diao Chan twisted his face left and right, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he asked, "Brother, do you see that my sister looks good wearing a golden hairpin?" ”

"Good-looking, sister, you have the posture of a sinking fish and a goose, and you love everything you wear." Diao Xiong admired the beautiful face in the mirror and praised from the bottom of his heart.

daughter's family, who doesn't like others to praise her beauty, how can Diao Chan be an example.

Diao Xiong's admiration, only to hear that she was shy, and happy, her heart was surging, her heart was rippling, and her body couldn't help leaning back and leaning on Diao Xiong's arms.

The first beauty in the world, her weak and boneless delicate body, exuding a terrifying body fragrance, leaned on herself so softly.

Young man, just when his blood is strong, at this moment, how can his heart throb.

Time, as if at that moment, stopped.

"General, General Xu has an urgent military situation to see." The voice of the soldiers outside the room broke the silence of love.

The mink male's body shook suddenly, and all the distracting thoughts disappeared in an instant.

"Sister, there is an important military situation, I'll go first." As he spoke, the mink didn't look back, and hurriedly walked out of the room.

In the hazy room, only Diao Chan was left, and after a while, he woke up from his heart.

Touching the golden hairpin in his hair, looking at himself in the mirror, Diao Chan's eyebrows flowed through a complex look of sweetness and bitterness, but he quietly sighed softly.

In the courtyard, Xu Rong stood solemnly with a solemn face.

Seeing Mink Xiong come out, Xu Rong hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to report it.

Diao Xiong raised his hand and said first: "Zhong Yao doesn't need to say it, it must be that Yuan Shu has already come with a large army." ”

Xu Rong was stunned and said curiously: "How does the general know?" ”

"Yuan Yao's letter was sent, it's strange that Yuan Shu is not mad, I want him to send troops out of anger."

Diao Xiong sneered, he had expected it, but asked, "How many soldiers and horses did Yuan Shu bring here, and who was the general?" ”

"General Hui, according to the scout's report, Yuan Shu led 20,000 soldiers and horses to come, with Ji Ling as the general." Xu Rong replied.

Under the command of Yuan Shu, there were a total of about 50,000 soldiers and horses, of which 10,000 stayed in the counties and 20,000 were led by Sun Jian, besieging Liu Biao in Xiangyang.

This means that Yuan Shu has used all the idle soldiers he has at hand when he comes.

"An army of 20,000, ten times the number of our army, Yuan Shu is going to work hard, not to be underestimated." Xu Rong said with a solemn expression.

Mink Xiong snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Yuan Shu is still underestimating me in the end, if he takes Sun Jian as a general, I am still afraid of three points, and now he takes Ji Ling as a general and comes in person, even if there are 100,000 troops, what is there to fear." ”

Xu Rong's body was shocked, and he looked at Diao Xiong in surprise, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, obviously surprised by Diao Xiong's arrogance.

"Having said that, 20,000 enemy soldiers is indeed not a small number." Xu Rong reminded.

The young man's face was as confident as fire, and the corners of his mouth raised a cold and treacherous color, and he sneered: "Pass the order, the whole army is ready to fight, this battle, I will let Yuan Shu really see the strength of my mink male!" ”

……

Two days later, Wancheng

At noon, the direction south of Wancheng was already dense, covered with soldiers and horses of the Yuan army.

The obese Yuan Shu, standing proudly on the horse, his eyes half-open and half-closed, with the momentum of a self-guessing respect, coldly despised the enemy city.

The flags behind him were rolling like waves, the swords and halberds were like forests, and the 20,000-strong army was monstrous.

Looking at the head of Wancheng from afar, it is scattered flags, sparse soldiers, rough sweeping, but more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shu sneered and said sarcastically: "There are more than a thousand soldiers and horses, do you want to defend Wancheng, joke." ”

At this time, the general Ji Ling Pegasus rushed over and shouted: "Lord, the last general, please lead the army to attack the city, recapture Wancheng, rescue the eldest prince, and kill the mink male child to avenge the lord's hatred." ”

Yuan Shu nodded, raised his whip and shouted: "Go, a quick battle, tonight I will set up a banquet in the city to reward the soldiers of the three armies." ”

"No!"

Ji Ling received the order, slapped his horse and arrived in front of the battle, his face was as proud as fire, his sword pointed at the south gate of Wancheng, and said loudly: "The whole army, attack the city!" ”

Under the command, all kinds of flags shook like waves.

More than ten cowhide drums were beaten at the same time, and the rumbling drums were like thunder at one time.

As soon as the drum was raised, the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the front army were immediately solemn and hurriedly grasped their weapons.

After the two drums, the three thousand front siege echelons began to carry the moving ladder and push the siege equipment such as the rushing cart, and slowly marched towards Wancheng.

The rest of the sergeants who swept the formation shouted and killed like a tide, cheering on the siege team.

In the middle military department, seeing the momentum of his own army, Yuan Shu couldn't help but show a little pride between his eyebrows.

"Ji Ling is the number one general under my command, with him out of the horse, Ermine Xiong, I'll see how long you can support it." Yuan Shu stroked his beard with his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

Guan Yu in the former military department, the arrogance in Ji Ling's expression became heavier.

He looked at the enemy city coldly, and shouted in his mouth: "The whole army attacks, and whoever takes the head of the mink male will have a heavy reward!" ”

When the order was passed, the morale of the Yuan army was even stronger, and they rumbled towards Nanyang City.

At the head of Wancheng City, two hundred steps away, the Mink army was not neatly flagbed, there were not many sergeants, and hundreds of Xiliang soldiers were scattered along the line of the city.

The weakness of the defenders contrasted sharply with the strength of Yuan's army.

Seeing such a situation, the morale of the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan was even stronger, and the sound of shouting and killing was even more earth-shattering, and in a moment, the forward siege team had approached the front of the moat.

The siege is imminent!

Suddenly, the tightly closed city gate was suddenly opened, and the hanging suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

The change happened suddenly, Yuan Shu's face suddenly became suspicious, and Ji Ling was also stunned for a while.

In such a situation, does Diao Xiong still have to defend and attack, and lead the army to take the initiative to attack?

In Yuan Jun's mind, the same thought flashed in unison.

However, that mink male is only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and it is a miracle that he can defend the city.

Just when Yuan Shu and the others were suspicious, an even more surprising scene appeared.

At the city gate, one person rode out slowly.

The young man's sturdy body, riding a Xiliang horse, carrying a silver gun, and a black cloak behind his back, fluttered in the wind, and slowly walked out of the city until he reached the drawbridge.

The person who went out of the city was none other than Mink Xiong.

One man and one horse, proud of the hosts.
