Chapter 375: White in the Wind

The 160,000-strong army galloped on the official road to King's Landing, and the momentum was like a rainbow. However, at the junction of the road only ten miles from King's Landing, the vanguard army of the Shore Armor in front of it stopped marching. Before Ji Qingchen could ask what was going on in front of him, he saw a fast horse rushing in front of him, saying that there was a woman in white in front of him who wanted to see him.

"The woman in white?" Ji Qingchen was puzzled, but he rode forward, and when he arrived at the fork in the road, his figure was shocked, because the woman in white who came into view was none other than Bai Meng'er, the princess of Lingnan Dream. Bai Meng'er was dressed in a snow-white Luo skirt and a shawl with long hair, and she was still as beautiful as dust.

When she saw Ji Qingchen, she was not hypocritical, she bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, long time no see!" ”

"It's been a long time, the princess seems to be even more dusty, I don't know what I want to do when I come here to see this king today?" Ji Qingchen said lightly, he had already judged that Lingnan's secret guard in King's Landing had something to do with Bai Meng'er, the princess of dreams, so he was not ready to give Bai Meng'er a good color, and besides, he didn't have much time to waste here.

"Doesn't Your Highness think that there is nothing to do, so I can't talk to you about it?" Bai Meng'er said resentfully. But the dodge in her eyes betrayed her.

"Yes—" Ji Qingchen replied as soon as his body and mind moved. He could be sure that Bai Meng'er wanted to delay him to get to King's Landing, but he still agreed. He was like looking at what Bai Meng'er wanted to say to himself.

Immediately, Ji Qingchen got off the horse, and the two walked around the woods at the fork. There was a stream in the forest, and the two of them stood by the stream, listening to the sound of trickling water, and neither of them spoke.

After a while, Bai Meng'er spoke, "Is Your Highness blaming Meng'er?" ”

"What do you blame?" Ji Qingchen asked rhetorically.

"Your Highness knows it in your heart." Bai Meng'er said in a low voice.

"If the king doesn't know, what if you have to tell it?" Ji Qingchen looked sideways, stared at Bai Meng'er with blazing eyes and said.

"Meng'er is the same as His Royal Highness, what he does is for his own country, His Highness can do whatever it takes for Dayan, he can sacrifice his own qiē, Meng'er is the same, Lingnan is Meng'er's home, Lingnan is gone, Meng'er will become a rootless duckweed, Meng'er doesn't want to do this, so there are some things that Meng'er doesn't want to, but he has to do it." Bai Meng'er said with a desolate expression.

"Yes, we are alive and we are forced to do some things, so we also need to pay a price in the process, has the princess ever thought about such a price?" Ji Qingchen said.

He could understand the meaning of Bai Meng'er's words, but since the other party did not say it thoroughly, he was not ready to say it thoroughly, he knew that with Bai Meng'er's intelligence, he could naturally understand the meaning of his words.

"These dreams have already been thought of when they are doing these things!" Bai Meng'er said in a firm tone. When Bai Meng'er said this, Ji Qingchen didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.

"Does Your Highness remember the first time Meng'er saw you?" Bai Meng'er asked, seeing Ji Qingchen nodding slightly, he said to himself, "At that time, when I saw His Highness for the first time, Meng'er fell in love with His Highness, and I thought in my heart, no matter what His Highness does, Meng'er will accompany His Highness-"

"It's this king, I'm sorry for you—" Ji Qingchen said suddenly. refusing to marry a princess in public, so that the princess can't return to her own country, there will be resentment against anyone who puts this matter.

"It's not His Highness's fault, and it's not Meng'er's fault, but Meng'er's fault is that Meng'er and His Highness met at the wrong time, and fate is just like that." Bai Meng'er said in a low voice, "It's just that this mistake is a lifetime!" ”

"Life-" Ji Qingchen muttered to himself, he was not unfamiliar with this word, he used it when he made a promise to Shu'er. Now he has a woman who loves him, and the other party also uses this word. At this moment, the door of Ji Qingchen's memory was opened, and the memories of the past came to his mind one by one, the first time he saw Bai Meng'er, and the bits and pieces when Bai Meng'er lived in his palace.

"Did the princess bring the harp?" Suddenly, Ji Qingchen asked.

"Thank you, Your Highness—" Bai Meng'er didn't answer the question, but bowed down and thanked her, and as soon as her words fell, she saw a maid walking out of the forest, holding a guzheng in her hands. The maid handed over the guzheng to Ji Qingchen, and retreated the same way, leaving Ji Qingchen and Bai Meng'er in the forest.

Ji Qingchen sat cross-legged, put the guzheng on his knees, plucked his ten fingers, and the pleasant sound of the piano came out of his fingertips, resounding in the forest.

This is a parting song that lasts for spring.

But after Ji Qingchen's playing, there is another charm.

Accompanied by the sound of the piano, I heard Bai Meng'er's cool singing:

Death and life are lonely, old thoughts, spring dreams linger and flowers fall cold.

can dance in the breeze and wave the blue shadow, it is difficult to leave the old moonlight railing.

Sadness is infatuation and resentment, and sorrow is why hide it.

The sea vows and the mountains promise each other, and the truth is everywhere.

Bai Meng'er's voice was already cool and pleasant, and the song was lingering and melancholy, coupled with the sadness and sadness of the poems, which made her sing the mood of a gloomy parting.

Just as the last note of the zither fell, her singing also stopped.

Zheng――

When the echo of the last note disappeared into the forest, Ji Qingchen got up, he saluted Bai Meng'er slightly, and strode away.

Looking at Ji Qingchen's departing figure in a daze, Bai Meng'er, who was out of her mind for a moment, came back to her senses and whispered, "Your Highness, don't worry!" Meng'er knows what she has done, and she will give you an explanation! ”

The two talked for nearly an hour, and when Ji Qingchen got back on his horse, his face was a little gloomy, and with an order, the army marched towards King's Landing again, and it only took half an hour for the 160,000 army to be killed under King's Landing.

The defenders on the tower of the city saw the dense army under the city, and their scalps were numb. When he saw Ji Qingchen, the king of the council at the front of the army, he was even more frightened.

"The king of parliament is here, don't open the city gate soon!" Tu Anjia rode forward and shouted at the defenders on the tower. In the face of Tu Anjia's reprimand, no one in the defenders on the city tower dared to answer at first, and it took a long time to see a military general appear on the city tower, and bowed to Ji Qingchen and said, "I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness the King of Yizheng, and Zheng Fang, the general of the city guards, was rude!" ”

"However, His Majesty has decreed that no matter who it is, as long as it is not allowed to enter the city without his will, please ask the king of parliament to give your understanding." Zheng Fang, who knew that Ji Qingchen was powerful, didn't dare to speak too hard.

"Zheng Fang, open your dog's eyes and see who this is? It's His Royal Highness, not anyone else. Now the imperial city is being invaded by thieves, and His Majesty's life is in danger, His Royal Highness is going to enter the city and Qin Wang, and he is not going to open the city gate soon. Tu Anjia said righteously.

His Ji Wen arranged a pawn in the new army, and naturally knew the current situation in King's Landing City, so he said this, the purpose was to show his loyalty in front of Ji Qingchen.

"Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to enter the city if you don't dare to enter the city, and please don't force me!" Zheng Fangyi said rhetorically. In fact, his heart had already risen to his throat, there were 160,000 troops under the city, if Ji Qingchen ordered the siege of the city, with only his 30,000 defenders, it would be broken before dark.

"Humph! This king asks you, "Will you open or not open this gate?" Suddenly, Ji Qingchen rode forward and asked, he really didn't have time to delay.

"Please also ask Your Highness to atone for your sins-" Zheng Fang replied with his head bowed, not daring to look into Ji Qingchen's eyes.

"Bring a bow and arrow—" Ji Qingchen said coldly, his eyes still fixed on Zheng Fang on the city tower. The guards beside him handed Ji Qingchen a hard bow on a horse, Zheng Fang on the city tower already knew what Ji Qingchen wanted to do, he immediately prepared to hide his body behind the city wall, but it was too late, he heard a "whoosh", and a feather arrow broke through the air and sank into his throat.

"General—"

"General-General-"

Just when the people on the castle tower were shouting, "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "It's another three-sword shot. Then there were three screams, and the three lieutenants on the city tower were all shot by arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

"The defenders on the city tower, this king asks you again, is the city gate open or not?" Ji Qingchen asked again. The defenders on the city tower were already panicked, who could care about answering Ji Qingchen. And Ji Qingchen didn't talk nonsense, and nodded slightly to Tu Anjia beside him. Tu Anjia received the order and gave the order to attack the city.

Woo woo woo - woo woo - woo woo -

The siege horn sounded, and the 100,000-strong army formed a formation and rushed towards King's Landing step by step in an oppressive manner.

When Li Muzhi trained the 400,000 troops, he paid attention to the defense and the training of the siege, so although the 100,000 troops had not experienced the baptism of war in the siege, they were also well-trained, and the rhythm of the siege was clear. The 20,000 troops in front of them charged with siege equipment, and the 30,000 archers behind them bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the defenders of the city against the siege soldiers on the head of the city.

"Whoosh-" Thirty thousand feathered arrows shot out, overwhelming the sky, and shot at the defenders on the tower. The defenders on the castle tower were in a hurry because they had lost their commander, and before they could make a dodge move, they were shot through by feather arrows and nailed to the ground.

"Ahh

"Ouch-"

Screams rang out one after another, resounding over the towers of King's Landing.

This rain of arrows alone cost the lives of the three thousand defenders on the tower. The defenders on the tower were terrified, and only then did they know that they were in great trouble.

They hid behind the city walls and looked at each other, and then they made a decision, and one of the commanders shouted to the castle, "Your Highness, we, we are willing to open the gates for Your Highness, and please do not attack!" ”

After he finished speaking, another overwhelming rain of arrows shot at the city tower, and he was frightened to hide behind the city wall and whispered, "Your Royal Highness, I will open the city gate, I will open the city gate, and please stop the attack-quick, what are you still doing in a daze?" Open the gates of the city and welcome Your Highness into the city! ”
