Come: "Why is your face so ugly?" What's uncomfortable? ”

"Stomach ......," Su Qingyuan smiled bitterly.

Dan Yue's face immediately turned white with fright: "Could it be that she is going to give birth?" ”

Su Qingyuan shook her head: "No." It doesn't hurt that much now. ”

Danyue turned around in front of the bed a few times, still a little uneasy: "But you are so angry today, and you are in such a hurry when you come out of the imperial study, I will call the imperial doctor to guard you!" ”

Su Qingyuan stretched out her hand and grabbed her: "It's getting late now, don't toss around." Let's talk about it tomorrow morning! ”

"But you ......" Danyue was not at ease.

Su Qingyuan was about to say "It's okay", when she suddenly felt pain in her abdomen again. She gritted her teeth and smiled bitterly: "I don't believe ......"

Chapter 133: Breaking the City. Desertion. Big and small?

Late at night, on the city walls.

Lu Li looked at the ironclad soldiers who kept attacking and were constantly forced back by boulders and arrows, and his expression was solemn.

This time to attack the city, Su Yi obviously came prepared.

Ladders, trebuchets, siege towers, ramming vehicles...... and the ironclad soldiers who are getting more and more frustrated.

If nothing happens, tonight should be the final battle of this standoff.

After two or three months of preparation and testing, both sides have accumulated enough strength, but at the same time, they are tired of such a long period of attrition.

Win or lose, fight here!

Lu Li turned around and asked Sima Ningyuan, the big man beside him, "What do you think of the old thief's team?" ”

Ning Yuan smiled: "The emperor knows it in his heart, why bother to test me again?" ”

Lu Li held the city wall with his hand and said with a smile: "Da Sima has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has more knowledge than me after all. ”

Ning Yuan was not humble, and smiled calmly: "The old thief is strong and strong, but we are not defenseless. After these months of tempering, our city walls have long been impregnable, and I am afraid that it is not possible for a small ironclad army to rush in. ”

"Da Sima, don't underestimate the enemy!" Lu Li said half-jokingly.

Ning Yuan said with a smile: "The old thief has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he was originally the number one fierce general in our South Vietnam, so the ministers naturally did not dare to underestimate the enemy. ”

Lu Li understood the meaning of his smile.

Time has dragged on until now, and the people in the city have long been panicked, and the outside of the city is not the end of the crossbow? Looking at the offensive of the ironclad army, you can see that they are also desperate.

Who wouldn't? It's nothing more than the words "one after the other, I'd rather die than retreat".

In this way, even if the thieves are lucky enough to attack the city, they must be exhausted.

But there are still unrivaled warriors in the city, and they can be a hundred elite troops of the Golden Armor Guard.

The game of "closing the door and beating the dog" is actually quite exciting, isn't it?

Outside the city, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Both the offensive and defensive sides are becoming more and more courageous, tense their spirits, do their best, and dare not be distracted for a moment.

The arrows were like flying locusts covering the stars and moon, and the bloody breath spread out, which was disgusting.

Lu Li walked on the city wall, watching the soldiers methodically throwing thunderbolt fireballs and cāo crossbows to repel the besieging thieves again and again, and his heart gradually settled down.

If there are no accidents, this wall can be defended.

As long as they survive tonight, the yīn clouds that have hung over the capital for months can disperse, and the courtiers and ordinary people can also breathe a sigh of relief.

The peaceful and prosperous era he promised someone is just around the corner.

Lu Li curled the corners of his lips slightly, looked back at the city, but saw that Xiao Luzi was arguing with the two little eunuchs about something, and it seemed that they were arguing very much.

Seeing that there would be no change on the city wall for a while, Lu Li called someone to call Xiao Luzi up: "Who are those two below?" What are you arguing with them? ”

Xiao Luzi hesitated, as if he was hesitating to say something.

Lu Li sank his face: "What do you need to hide from me?" ”

Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Some miscellaneous things in the palace, it's not too urgent, it's not too late to talk about it after the battle......

Lu Li's heart suddenly burst into a premonition.

He stared at Xiao Luzi and shouted, "Say! ”

Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Those two people, one is from the Yongfu Palace, and after dinner, I suddenly found that there were a few little eunuchs missing from the palace. Concubine Xian Niangniang asked people to go to the palaces to ask, and found that there were more or less nowhere to be found in every place......"

Lu Li's face changed slightly: "Such a big matter, you actually plan to talk to me tomorrow morning?" Why don't you go and order the Jin Jiawei to inspect and be vigilant against changes in the palace! ”

Xiao Luzi hurriedly agreed, and immediately retreated.

Lu Li stopped him again: "What about the other thing? ”

Xiao Luzi hesitated: "The person who came later was from Fanghua Palace." He said that the mother was going to give birth! ”

After thinking about it, he finally didn't say the other half of the sentence.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to come back to his senses.

Xiao Luzi called out tentatively: "Your Majesty? ”

Lu Li immediately raised his hand and grabbed his shoulder: "How could it be...... How could it be now? Doesn't it mean that the days are still early? Has the Imperial Doctor passed? Have the maternity and rǔ mothers been properly arranged......"

Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "The emperor can rest assured, the imperial doctors are here, and the midwife is also in the mother's health, so there will be no problem!" ”

Lu Li calmed down and said in a dumb voice: "Tell the Golden Armor Guard to guard Fanghua Palace, no matter what accidents occur, Fanghua Palace must be safe and sound!" ”

Xiao Luzi hurriedly agreed and ran down quickly.

Lu Li leaned on the city wall, watching the path go away, and his heart became a mess.

"Lu Gongche!" I don't know who shouted on the city wall, which immediately caused an exclamation.

Lu Li hurriedly turned around, and when he looked down, he saw hundreds of ironclad soldiers rushing over around a tall Lu bus.

The soldiers on the carriage were wearing iron armor and holding long knives and bows and arrows, and they were looking down at the city wall condescendingly, with the potential of a tiger descending the mountain.

The bow and arrow on the Lu bus were naturally very different from the soft and fluttering appearance of the arrows under the city because of the close distance and the momentum of falling.

What's more, the guards soon discovered that the arrows that came down from the top were dú.

There was a moment of confusion in the Protectorate.

Lu Li pushed away a soldier who fell from an arrow, grabbed it next to the trebuchet, and took the lead in pulling the rope: "What are you afraid of?" They came to die, and we will fulfill them! ”

The soldiers regained their courage, roared in unison, pulled the cross tip of the trebuchet together, and threw a boulder weighing hundreds of pounds.

The biggest weakness of the Lv bus is that it is "bulky".

After a solid blow, several pieces of the baffle on the car broke, and several of the archers in the car fell.

The city protector gained a little more confidence, and without waiting for Lu Li's order, he had already placed the boulder on his own and struck out again.

Seeing this, Lu Li relieved his heart.

The so-called Lu bus is just something to scare people. I can't run fast, and I basically only get beaten.

Of course, the dú arrows and siege warriors on the cart are still somewhat useful.

But the city guards are not vegetarians, and even if these hundreds of people can rush to the city wall, they will not escape the fate of being killed.

Should the inside and outside close the city gates? Inexistent!

At the city gate, the crashing car was still slamming into it.

The soldiers defending the city kept shouting, and Ning Yuan gradually tightened his brows: "It seems to be about to crash open!" ”

Lu Li walked over quickly: "Is our Saimen knife car ready?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I've been waiting!" Ning Yuan clenched his fists and smiled confidently.

***

Fanghua Palace.

The palace maids and mothers-in-law were in a mess, the midwives were busy inside, and the imperial doctor was guarding beside them, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe.

The handkerchief in Su Qingyuan's mouth had been bitten off, and the wet life on her face was like splashing water, and it had consumed all her strength to endure the severe pain, and even the blood on her lips had faded.

The midwife was so anxious that she shouted: "Don't patronize and endure the pain, you have to work hard!" Leave some strength down there! ”

Su Qingyuan stared at the door with wide eyes, still silent.

No one knew if she understood the midwife's words, and no one dared to ask at this time.

Most of the little girls who were waiting around were already frightened, so they had to call a few old grandmothers from the east side of the hall to help, and the rest were only accompanied by Luoxia and Danyue.

Luo Xia looked at Su Qingyi's eyes looking at the door, and she only felt scared in her heart.

Of course she knew who Su Qingkite was waiting for, but ......

That man won't be here tonight.

"Niangniang, I have already called someone to invite, you can give birth to the child with peace of mind, see him peacefully, ask him face to face, and be angry face to face, okay?" Luoxia was already pleading.

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, only gasped for breath, and did not speak.

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the window, and someone shouted, "Who told you to break in?" ”

Su Qingyuan immediately opened her eyes again.

Luo Xia hurriedly ran out to take a look, and came back to persuade: "It's Jin Jiawei, Niangniang doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Sure enough, someone outside quickly said: "Jin Jiawei is ordered to protect the safety of Fanghua Palace, and idle people are not allowed to enter or leave!" ”

"The Golden Guard? What are they going to do? Su Qingyuan finally opened her mouth.

Luo Xia hurriedly said: "Jin Jiawei is ordered by the emperor to protect us!" ”

"Protection or captivity? He's going to kill me, isn't he? Su Qingyuan's eyes widened, and he clutched the quilt tightly in his hand, and shook his head incessantly.

Thinking that she had heard some terrible scheme, the midwife was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

"You asked Lu Li to come to see me! Even if it is death, I will die to understand! Su Qingyuan straightened her neck and roared at Luoxia.

Luo Xia was so anxious that she burst into tears: "Who wants to kill you?" I've said it hundreds of times, the emperor just can't come over, why don't you believe it......"

"Sister Luoxia, Sister Luoxia!" Suddenly, the screams of a little palace maid sounded outside.

Luo Xia hurriedly ran out again.

Su Qingyuan stared at the door with wide eyes, but she didn't wait for Luoxia to come back for a long time.

Danyue couldn't help but go out and take a look, and ran back with a pale face: "Outside...... There's a fight outside! Jin Jiawei and some eunuchs ......"

Su Qingyuan's eyes darkened for a while, and she didn't hear what she was saying behind her.

I don't know how long it took, Luoxia stumbled back: "Don't worry about it, Niangniang, you can rest assured if there is nothing big outside." ”

said that it was "nothing serious", but there was clearly a bloody breath on her body.

Outside, shouts and blades could already be heard.

"You're still lying to me......" Su Qingyuan tugged at the corners of her white lips.

Outside the window, another shout of a little eunuch sounded: "The city guards can't hold on, the city gate has been breached!" ”

Immediately after that, another person shouted: "The thief has entered the palace!" ”

"Fighting? Is there a siege outside? Where the hell is Lu Li? Su Qingyuan struggled to sit up.

"My ancestors! Can you give birth to your child with peace of mind? Luo Xia was anxious and afraid, and she couldn't wait to pass out and die, and everything was none of her business.

When the grandmothers heard that the thieves had entered the palace, they were all a little frightened.

On this occasion, the midwife, who was supposed to be the backbone of the heart, was the most timid, and after this series of fright, she sat at the foot of the bed and shivered, and could not stand up.

Su Qingyuan was confused, and actually pushed away the little palace maid's hand and struggled to stand up.

A room full of people was so frightened that there wasn't even a single one who could make up their minds.

Fortunately, Su Qingyuan still couldn't get up in the end, and a sharp pain left her on the bed.

The midwife looked up and saw a large wet patch on the mattress, finally woke up, knelt down to the edge of the bed and gritted her teeth and screamed: "Press her back!" Teach her to be hard! If you delay any longer, your two lives will be gone, and you still have to worry about whether to fight or not! ”

on the city walls.

The moment the city gate was slammed open, the Saimen knife cart immediately blocked up and continued to keep the rebels out of the city.

At this time, both sides were exhausted, and the offense and defense had lost their previous sharpness, and they were completely relying on perseverance.

The ironclad soldiers swarmed towards the door, and the guards gritted their teeth and resisted desperately.

This situation is still expected by Lu Li.

He was confident that his guards could keep the rebels out of the walls, even though the city was now strewn with corpses.

It was at this time that the change happened.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered the peace in the city, and a golden-armored soldier rushed over in a panic: "Report"

Lu Li's face changed greatly.

Jin Jiawei should have been guarding the palace city, could it be that there was a change in the palace?

The soldier rolled his saddle and dismounted, and made an urgent report: "There are a large number of rebels in the palace, and they are burning and killing, and all the soldiers are meeting the enemy!" ”

Ning Yuan asked sharply, "How is it possible?" The city gate was not broken, how could the rebels enter the palace? ”

Duan Ran, who was helping at the city gate, immediately rushed up when he heard the voice: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the tunnel?" ”

Lu Li's face turned pale: "Impossible!" Even if the old thief can find the exit in Xiangquan Mountain, even if he can destroy the exit and forcibly break in...... But the dark passage inside is wrong, how can he find the right entrance! ”

Duan Ran turned his head to look at the golden-armored soldier: "Where did the thief army appear?" ”

The soldier glared and said, "Yuxiu Palace and Yanxi Palace seem to appear at the same time!" ”

Duan Ran's brows tightened: "This is very wrong!" We've blocked the right entrance, even if the old thief is a real mouse, it will take months to find the entrance in that kind of place, there is no reason why it is so fast! Unless ......"

"Unless there is an inner ghost!" Ning Yuan immediately answered.

Lu Li shook his head: "There are only two people who know everything about the authenticity, I and Duan Ran, where did the inner ghost come from!" ”

Ning Yuan looked at Duan Ran, who immediately raised his hands: "It's really not me!" ”

"Of course I know it's not you," Lu Li gritted his teeth, "Now is not the time for us to catch the inner ghost!" Duan Ran, you immediately take a team of elites back to the palace, and be sure to take Ah Kite and Jun'er out! ”

"What about the others?" Duan Ran asked subconsciously.

Lu Li turned around: "The old thief wants to catch the two of them the most, so no matter what, we can't let the two of them fall into the hands of the old thief!" As for others, they can't take care of it! ”

Duan Ran rushed down the city wall and didn't say anything more.

Lu Li turned around and looked at the battle outside the city, and there was no way to calm down.

Ning Yuan saw his unyielding appearance, and his heart was very anxious, and he hurriedly persuaded: "The Queen Mother has always been very knowledgeable, and King Ding'an is also a young man, so they will definitely not be coerced by the old thief......"

Lu Li walked quickly to the city, obviously not wanting to listen to his nonsense.

He was at the head of the city, but his heart had flown back to the palace.

The thieves have broken into the palace, what is the point of the soldiers desperately defending the city here?

As long as the thieves in the palace capture Ah Kite and Jun'er alive, and then occupy the Chaoqian Palace, the world will not be done by the old thief!

Lu Li really wanted to leave this matter behind and rush back to the palace immediately. However, the battle on the city wall was tight, and it was impossible to send people back to the palace to rescue.

He underestimated the old thief's methods, and fell for others' plan of "striking the east and attacking the west"!

Ning Yuan still followed: "The situation is like this, it's useless to think about it." Duan Gongzi is very clever and will be able to take care of the Queen Mother and the King of Ding'an, we can only guard the city gate, and when the time comes, ...... Even if that old thief occupies Miyagi, we may not have a chance to turn around! ”

Lu Li nodded and clenched his fists.

Miyazato ...... I can only hope that Duan Ran is lucky enough.
