But Wen Honghui now wants to arrest Qiu Yizhi, but there is an "aunt" in front of him who has been loyal to the Wen family for decades. Speaking of the subordinates who can completely reassure the dignified Tianzun sect master, there are only two people, "aunt" and "sister", but today they are begging for Qiu Yizhi's mercy, which makes him both a little jealous and a little proud, and finally relieved: "Okay, only this once, not for example!" ”

Everyone - starting from Wen Lingjiao, to "aunt", to Wei Chi Jiming, to Zhao Chengxiao and other pro-soldiers - were relieved when they heard this, but Qiu Yizhi couldn't accept it, and shouted to himself: "Wen Lingjiao, you come back for me, I have a way, I don't need you to save me!" ”

Wen Lingjiao heard this, slowly turned around and smiled: "I know you have a way, but I also have a few words to say to my brother." The mountains are high and the waters are long, and the fate of you and me is not over, and there will inevitably be a day when we meet...... If fate is over...... Then you will remember me in the future......"

After that, Wen Lingjiao reluctantly turned her head over and slowly walked towards Wen Honghui.

But I heard a heart-rending woman's shout from behind Qiu Yizhi: "Miss, you wait, I'm here!" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, but it was Wen Lingjiao's personal maid He'er.

Although this lotus is a body that has grown up with Wen Lingjiao since childhood, it is actually an eye and ear that Wen Honghui has placed beside Wen Lingjiao. Since her identity was discovered by Wen Lingjiao, He'er has been wearing small shoes since then, and she didn't dare to say one more word or take one more step in front of Wen Lingjiao, and her original extremely spicy and straightforward temperament has been completely reined in.

But Wen Lingjiao is a person who has been with him for nearly 20 years after all, her name is a master and servant, but she is actually a sister, and now when it is time to part with life and death, she can no longer suppress her emotions and scream.

Wen Lingjiao listened to this familiar voice, and without looking back, she knew who was calling her, so she turned her head again, revealing a face full of tears: "He'er, don't come here, my brother can't stand you, and I can't stand you." From now on, you will serve Qiu Gongzi for me, and you will fulfill my little wish. ”

She said to Qiu Yizhi again: "Childe, He'er's nature is not bad, please ignore your past suspicions, and promise to help me take care of her and find a good background, okay?" After that, Wen Lingjiao didn't wait for Qiu Yizhi's answer, turned her head again, seemed to wipe the tears on her face with her hands, and slowly walked towards Wen Honghui.

Where Qiu Yizhi is willing to put it, he doesn't care about his own safety, he wants to pull Wen Lingjiao back a few steps forward.

But the people around him knew how much Zhou Zhang had been abolished in exchange for Wen Honghui's hand, and they didn't want him to enter the tiger's mouth again.

I only heard Wei Chi Jiming whisper in his ear: "Little uncle, I'm offended." Suddenly, he raised his hand and pinched Qiu Yizhi's neck, and Qiu Yizhi seemed to be drained of the energy from all over his body, and he collapsed.

Qiu Yizhi still wanted to stand up from the ground with force, but he couldn't exert any strength on his feet, so he could only let a few soldiers around him carry him through the Sanshan Gate and enter Jinling City, but he couldn't even say a word or a word.

Jinling City was already in full array, and when he saw that Qiuyi's headquarters quickly entered the city from the Sanshan Gate, he immediately closed the gate.

The emperor's gold medal order arrow and Qiu Yizhi's identity are placed here, and the defenders in the city dare not slack off, and the leader who leads the army is Jinling City, and even the highest military governor of Jiangnan Province - Liu Qing, the envoy of Jiedu.

Liu Qing saw that Qiu Yizhi was carried into Jinling City by everyone lifelessly, and when he was seriously injured, he hurriedly approached and asked with great concern: "My lord, where are you injured?" Do you want to send a military doctor to heal you? ”

Qiu Yizhi couldn't say half a word, looked at Liu Qing, and stared at Wei Chi Jiming with his eyes.

Only then did Yu Chi Jiming remember that he had just moved his hands and feet on Qiu Yizhi's body, and was busy massaging the back of his neck with his hand.

Qiu Yizhi's groggy brain suddenly woke up, and his whole body seemed to be refilled with strength, and he jumped up suddenly, startling Liu Qing: "Be careful...... Adults be careful......"

Qiu Yizhi didn't have time to greet him, and immediately ordered: "Quickly open the city gate for me, I want to go out to save people!" ”

Liu Qing was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, there are too many enemy troops outside, and even the king of Lingnan has come in person, once the door is opened, the city will not be able to hold on, and the last general really can't afford this responsibility!" ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he really wanted to use the gold medal order arrow in his hand to force Liu Qing to open the city gate, but he had been taught by Emperor Zheng Rong and his master Zhong Likuang since he was a child, and he couldn't do such a thing that ignored hundreds of millions of dawns and Jiangshan Sheji.

When he was so embarrassed, he could only ask, "What...... Is there a place where I can climb up and look out of the city? ”

"Yes, yes." Liu Qing replied, "The Sanshanmen Tower is very high, it is near here, if the adults want to see it, I will take the adults to see it." ”

Qiu Yizhi was not as verbose as he was, and only said "lead the way", and then walked quickly to the entrance of the city tower under the escort of everyone.

Ascending the city tower, Qiu Yizhi looked into the distance, only to see that the Lingnan Dao sergeants under the city had ended the battle, and were escorting the surrendered officers and soldiers to the rear to be imprisoned, as for the bodies of the dead soldiers, they were neatly stacked in a pile, waiting to be buried or cremated.

Qiu Yizhi searched carefully among the crowd, and only saw that the large tent of the Chinese army in the Jinling siege camp established by the Lingnan Army under the city and which he had briefly occupied was in and out, and it seemed very busy, presumably it must be Lingnan King Zheng Gui who had already handled military affairs in it, but I don't know if Wen Honghui, the leader of the Tianzun Sect, is also among them, and I don't know what Wen Lingjiao's current situation is......

As soon as she thought of this, Qiu Yi was sullen in her chest, unable to go up or down, and suddenly screamed and fainted.

When Qiu Yizhi woke up from a coma, he was already lying in a spacious house, struggling to support his body, shaking his groggy head vigorously, raising his eyes and looking around, seeing that there were several cronies around him, in addition to Lin Shuhan, Zhao Chengxiao, Wei Chi Jiming and other cronies, even Liu Qing, He Jiugong, and even his uncle Zhao Fuyi were also standing aside, and even the Jiangnan Dao Thorn Shi, who had a very ordinary relationship, was standing far away from the crowd, staring at himself with a deep or shallow expression of concern on his face.

Seeing Qiu Yizhi sitting up, Lin Shuhan hurriedly stepped forward, unfolded his paper fan that was always around four o'clock, and slapped Qiu Yizhi's face.

Uncle Lin is deeply skilled in medicine, and the biting cold wind brought out by his fan stimulated Qiu Yizhi's brain, making him suddenly sober up a lot, his lips pursed, and he shouted: "I'm thirsty, bring me water......"

When everyone heard that he was able to speak, the worried expression on their faces immediately melted, and soon a cup of warm water was handed to Qiu Yizhi.

After a few sips, Qiu Yizhi's spirit was better, but his mood did not improve at all. He was still worried about Wen Lingjiao's whereabouts, but when he saw that there were still a few outsiders here, it was inconvenient to ask immediately, frowned, but asked, "You guys inquire, how is General Wu Changxi now?" If there is a way, he can be ransomed with a lot of money, and General Wu is a usable person who cannot be abandoned. ”

Wu Changxi wears the title of Zhonglang General, and he is also a small general in Jiangnan Province. But this Qiu Yizhi grew up in Youyan Palace, the emperor since he was a child, and his eyes are all big names such as princes, prime ministers, and marshals, which Liu Qing knows.

Because of this, he couldn't guess what the relationship between Wu Changxi and Qiu Yizhi was, and after the "His Royal Highness Yi" in front of the emperor woke up, the first thing was to ask about his whereabouts, so he didn't know how to answer.

Lin Shuhan was a confidant of Tongqiu Yi's all-in-one acquaintance, and when he heard this, he sighed "alas": "General Wu fought a bloody battle with the group of barbarians brought by the King of Lingnan, but after all, he was outnumbered, and was besieged by the enemy, and finally killed himself...... The king of Lingnan has already collected the body of General Wu, but he has not yet been buried, and he still doesn't know how to arrange it......"

Qiu Yizhi was not very surprised, and said with a sigh: "General Wu sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield, which can be regarded as a good fate for a general...... Oh, by the way, how is General Zhang Qi? ”

Lin Shuhan replied: "General Zhang was also killed in the enemy army and was collected by the king of Lingnan. ”

"Alas!" Qiu Yizhi sighed again and said, "These two are talents, and I was planning to play in front of the emperor for reuse, but today I ...... The prince of Lingnan made a rebellion, but in half a year, how many loyal ministers and good generals were lost......"

Liu Qing, who was guarding the side, heard Qiu Yizhi's words, and suddenly remembered that this Qipin County Order was a person who could speak loudly in front of the emperor, so he hurriedly stepped forward half a step, made a gesture, and said: "Your Highness Yi, since you have entered the city, can you take care of this Jinling city defense affairs?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was hit again and again, and he was not in the mood to lead the troops to fight at all, so he shook his hand and said: "You have been sticking to Jinling City these days and keeping the cornerstone of the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River, and you have made a lot of contributions. ”

Liu Qinggang nodded, and then listened to Qiu Yizhi ask: "There are two things I want to inquire about." ”

"Your Highness, excuse me." Liu Qing hurriedly replied.

"One I want to ask you, what is the current situation of Jinling Yanjiang Wharf? Can you cross the river north? ”

"This ......," Liu Qing frowned, "it was originally navigable." But out of nowhere, a group of Japanese robbers, dozens of warships, and strong combat effectiveness, sank all the warships of the Jiangnan Naval Division, and the dock was also blocked. Fortunately, the number of Japanese pirates does not seem to be large, and they did not land and enter the city to fight......"

Qiu Yizhi was a little disappointed when he heard this, and asked again: "How many defenders are there in the city?" How long can the grain and grass last? ”

Liu Qing's expression was relieved, and he replied: "The defenders in the city have nearly 80,000 horses, and there are more than 1 million stones of grain and grass, which is enough for the army to support a year's ......."

Qiu Yizhi suddenly interrupted Liu Qing and said, "Are you bragging?" How many soldiers and horses are there in Gangnam Province? You lost more than 100,000 people before, where did you get these 90,000 people? What's more, the army has been trapped in Jinling City for half a year, and people eat horses and chew, how much grain can be left? Did you conjure up these million stones? ”

Liu Qing hurriedly replied, "No...... When the wharf was still open, it was the emperor who sent a ship to transport it down, and the grain and grass may still be a little different, but there are 79,643 soldiers in the army, all of whom can defend the city and fight. ”

Qiu Yi listened and pondered, but Lin Shuhan leaned into his ear and whispered: "My lord, the emperor is really clever - knowing that the Jinling city wall is stable and it is difficult for the king of Lingnan to take it, he supported the heavy troops to come, what he wants is to attract the main force of the Lingnan army under the city of Jinling, and allow the imperial court to mobilize soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and after everything is ready, he will go south to seek the king of Lingnan in one fell swoop." ”

Qiu Yizhi also thought of this, nodded, and said to Liu Qing: "I can trust you, if you have anything to ask me for help, just come to me." ”

Zhang Qi nodded resignedly.
