Shirtless reluctantly jumped in with me.

"What did you paint on the arrow?" Bo Huan saw several corpses on the ground, their faces turned blue, their mouths foamed at the mouth, and they were shocked.

"I've put a death curse on the arrow, noble girl, go away, don't touch it!" I carefully pulled the arrow out of the corpse, wiped it clean with a white cloth, and put it back in the arrow behind me.

"Death curse?" A few of the servants standing beside me with axes took a big step back with frightened faces.

"Go get dressed, your housewife will be out later!" As soon as I finished speaking, several of the servants flew into the room, and I shook my head and muttered, "It's strange to have an axe in your bare ass!" ”

Candle Chu laughed out loud when he heard the flutter: "It's good when you really don't speak!" ”

"What's going on?" Hongyao wore his bedclothes and walked out of the room with the help of two maids.

I was afraid of being seen by her, so I hurriedly took two steps back and hid behind Bo Huan.

"Jin people Zhao Wuxian has seen Ruren!" Wuxian saluted the red medicine, and said, "A few gangsters sneaked into your mansion at night, afraid that they wanted to kidnap the widow and coerce Gongzi and Doctor Baili to open the city gate, but fortunately they were detected by us and have now been ambushed." ”

Hongyao only saw the corpse on the ground at this moment, her face changed suddenly, and she turned her head and retched.

Wuxian stepped forward and said to the two servants: "Quickly help your housewife into the room, and then call me the housekeeper in the house." ”

"The ruler of the house went with his master to Simon." The servant said in fear.

"Then go and call your uncle and concubine." Hongyao took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, his voice was weak and weak, "Mr. Jean smiled." ”

"Ruren, the most urgent thing is to ask the widow to move all the family members in the house to an open courtyard, and then order the guards in the palace to guard outside the courtyard every inch of the house. Before this battle is over, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the widows, and not to let the people of the prince have another chance. ”

"Mr. Xie's life-saving grace, after this battle, my husband will thank Mr. again." Red Medicine owes a debt to Wuxian and is grateful.

"It's serious, let's wake everyone up without further ado!"

"Mistress-" The little maid who had just gone to call someone rushed over at this time, knelt down in front of Hongyao, and stammered: "Gui, the concubine is gone, and the five maids who served her are also dead!" ”

"What did you say!" Hongyao was shocked, "Was it the prince's people who robbed the uncle?" What can I do...... My husband loves her uncle and concubine the most, and she is now pregnant again......"

Hongyao's words were like thunder on the ground, and I shouted in my heart that it was not good, the prince must have sent two groups of people, one was robbed and killed by us, and the other group robbed the uncle and concubine and rushed to Ximen.

"It's not good, let's go!" The three men galloped out with their swords in hand, and I turned to the left side of the main house, and went straight to the stable, picked a fast horse, and chased after him.

I rode out of the gate, but the road was empty and there was no one in sight.

Where did they go? Forget it, no matter what!

"Drink!" I kicked the horse's belly and went straight to the west gate.

What are those people going to do when they rob their uncles? Is it to force Gongzi Li Kaecheng to surrender? No, this is a life-and-death battle between Gongzili and the crown prince, and Gongzili will definitely not open the city gate because of a woman. The crown prince knew this, why did he do this?

When I arrived at the west gate and saw a few guards on the city tower, I suddenly realized in my heart that the main attack of the prince was not at the east gate, but at the west gate! The hijacking of red medicine and uncles and concubines is not to open the city gates, but to disturb the morale of the army when attacking the city!

I hurried to the city gate, and several of the guards' foot guards were still snoring against the city gate and falling asleep. In a fit of rage, I picked up my horsewhip and struck them a few times, shouting, "Get up for me!" ”

A few foot soldiers were in pain, got up and took a spear to surround me: "Who is looking for death?" ”

"Where's Childe? What about Fu Shu? The big battle is coming, and you still have the heart to sleep! I was furious and anxious, "Look what! Don't go and call someone! ”

Perhaps frightened by my fierce appearance, one of the foot soldiers threw down his spear and galloped out, and soon a sergeant in armor walked from the tower.

"Who?" The visitor asked in a loud voice.

"Fu Shu! The prince is going to attack the west gate today, quickly beat the drums, and transfer the elite soldiers and arrows to the city tower! I shouted to the comer.

"Noble girl, aren't you already ......" Fu Shu was startled by me at first, and after waking up, he immediately ordered someone to beat the drum to prepare for the battle.

I jumped off my horse and asked anxiously, "Where is Childe?" Why are there only so many people on the city tower? ”

"Last night, the prince was beating drums outside the east gate, and the prince transferred troops to the east gate in the middle of the night!" Fu Shu hurriedly replied.

"Before dawn, you immediately send someone to call Gongzi back, and I'm afraid that the east and west gates will be attacked today." After speaking, I said to the entourage behind Fu Shu: "No matter how many people are left here, all take their weapons and flags and go to the city tower, immediately!" ”

Outside the west gate of Yongcheng is a low-lying land, if you want to attack from the west gate, whether it is a foot soldier or a collision wood, you need to climb a steep slope. Even if you haven't actually been on the battlefield, as long as you have a little common sense, you know that the most important thing in siege is speed. The faster the speed, the fewer people die; The slower, the more people die. Climbing up the hill and attacking will undoubtedly slow down the speed of the army, and the number of people killed may be twice or even three or four times as many as before.

With an army of 70,000, the prince is already arrogant to the extreme. However, 70,000 against 9,000, even if he storms Ximen, he has a great chance of winning, not to mention that he still has an uncle and concubine in his hand now. If the battle is at a critical juncture, Gongzi Li is trapped in the east gate, and his pregnant concubine is pulled up the castle tower, then the leaderless and panicked West Gate guards will probably be defeated in a moment. When I think about it, I can't help but shudder, and the slightest wrong step from now on could have unbearable consequences.

I was in a hurry to turn around under the tower, and the ground beneath my feet suddenly began to tremble—the army of the prince had set camp and attacked!

I rushed up to the tower, the bloody morning sun slowly rose in the sky, and the army was moving in a neat square towards the city gate. In an instant, my heart rushed to my throat, and a powerful feeling of oppression that I had never felt before hit me, and my knees could not help but weaken.

At this time, every soldier on the tower clenched the weapon in his hand, their stiff faces revealed the fear in their hearts at the moment, but their eyes were fixed on the enemy in the distance. This is a war with no way out, they can only fight hard!

"Childe is back with troops!" A small soldier ran up to the tower and shouted.

Great, everyone on the tower breathed a sigh of relief, just like me. But soon everyone became nervous again, because the enemy troops were already under the city.

I turned around to go down the castle tower, but I bumped into Gongzili head-on. If fate could arrange it on its own, I would never want to meet him in such a situation.

"Ah?!" He stared at me with wide eyes and disbelief.

"Childe, you're finally here. Your ......" As soon as I opened my mouth, Gongzi Li grabbed his hands tightly.

"Ah Shi, is this my hallucination?"

"Childe, I can't explain to you right now, the prince's people captured the noble concubine in your mansion in order to disturb your mind when attacking. If you still want to believe me, please give me five soldiers, and I will help you rescue your concubine. But no matter what happens later, don't look into the city, and order your soldiers not to care about what happens in the city when fighting foreign enemies. ”

Gongzi didn't seem to hear me at all, he stared into my eyes in a daze, surprise, sadness, joy, and completely different emotions quickly changed on his face.

"Childe-" I couldn't help but raise my voice anxiously.

"Whatever you want to do today, I promise you. But after today, if I'm still alive, I want to know why. He took a deep breath and said.

"Okay, no matter how tragic today's battle is, Ah Shi asks Gongzi to survive."

With that, I broke away from Gongzi's hand and ran down the castle tower quickly.

Standing at the foot of the city tower, there were constantly terrible screams in my ears, I didn't dare to look back, and I couldn't look back, all I had to do now was to keep an eye on the road in front of me.

Two moments later, a black wagon suddenly appeared on the long street. Silently, I raised my longbow and took a poisonous, white-feathered arrow from the arrowhead. Before leaving, Shi Mo gave me a lot of things, and this poison that sealed my throat with blood was one of them.

I pulled my bow to the fullest, half-squinted, and aimed at my target. The bowstring trembled, and the poisoned arrow flew straight out and pierced the charioteer's chest.

This battle actually forced out all the gophers in the Prince's Mansion! The person who was hit by the arrow in front of him was one of the guards who guarded the dungeon that day, and they did not see the light of day all year round, so it is no wonder that they were able to escape the search of Gongzi Li and Wu Feng.

Soon another person came out of the carriage, who was also a guard of the Prince's Mansion. The man stopped with the reins in one hand, and held a dagger in the other hand to the throat of the uncle.

"Someone in front! Put down your bow and arrows, or I'll kill your son's concubine!" The man put the dagger in front of my uncle's neck and yelled at me.

"No one is allowed to let go! You can only obey my orders today! I yelled at the five soldiers behind me.

"Go, call your sons down, I'm going out of the city!" The man pressed the dagger to the uncle's neck, "If he doesn't come down, I'll kill this woman, one corpse and two lives!" ”

"Childe won't come down, you put the dagger down, I can consider sparing your life." I smiled and took a few steps forward.

"Don't come here! If Gongzili's favorite concubine and child have any mistakes, you can't afford to pay for ten lives. Fast! Call Childe down for me! "My pressing makes men restless.

"Concubine, Gongzi asked me to tell you that he will not take a step down the city tower today no matter what, I hope you can understand his distress. When you die, Childe will be buried in you. ”

"No, I don't want to die...... Husband, husband, save me! The uncle suddenly shouted at the castle tower.

But no one paid attention to her at the moment, as if no one could see them except me.

"Now you believe me?" I took two more steps forward and said softly to the man, "You have two choices, one is that you die with her, she dies and buries her, and you feed the dogs after you die; Second, you live with her, she continues to be her concubine, and you continue to be your guard. Maybe you won't have to stay in the dungeon this time. ”
