At this time, Xue Ne watched Fan Ning go back to the room, only to feel that the position on her cheeks that had been kissed by her cherry lips was warm, and she couldn't hold it anymore, her thin lips were bent, and her face was full of indescribable joy.

If you want to list the happiest things in the world, the person who likes it happens to like yourself must be among them, Xue Ne's clear eyes are soft, and now looking back at the past few days, whether it is really extremely Tailai, is it in line with the "blessings and misfortunes rely on, and misfortunes and blessings lie in waiting" when Li Chunfeng was a child.

He is worthy of the crown this year, his father conquered Goryeo, and he has not had time to marry him, if he can successfully marry Fan Ning as his wife. It's just that the identities are different, the status is different, after the emperor recognizes the daughter, Xue Rengui and Mrs. Liu will definitely have more scruples, and rashly mentioning marriage will definitely not be able to achieve their wishes. But he had already made up his mind to be with her, so why was he afraid of spending a few more tricks.

Xue Ne thought about it, and planned to read the book after washing his clothes, when he suddenly heard the little girl shouting to the back hall: "Someone! It's watery! ”

Xue Ne reacted very quickly, pushed the door out, Fan Ning in the side room heard the movement and rushed out, the flowers and plants in the backyard stone steps have been submerged, the water outlet of the back wall, the turbid river flooding with waves poured into the house with an unstoppable momentum, no matter how the little guys can't block it, in the blink of an eye, the water level continues to soar, about to pass the pedestal, poured into the house.

In the fifth year of Yonghui, when he was three years old, the Wei River burst its banks, and the surging flood rushed into Chang'an City, and almost all the houses were submerged in the flood, and even Li Zhi, who was in the Taiji Palace, was affected. Hundreds of people were drowned by the flood while they were still asleep, and Xue Ne, Liu, and Xue Chuyu were supported on the roof by Xue Rengui, who returned from duty in the palace, before they could save their lives.

Although he was only three years old, the tragic image of countless corpses drifting along with the tide and the scene of old and young women and children struggling and crying in the water still left a deep imprint on his heart.

"This water is not normal, I see that something is wrong," Fan Ning did not notice Xue Ne's abnormality, and said hurriedly, "No matter how heavy the rain is, it won't be like this?" Where does the water come from? Where does this ditch lead to your house? ”

Without waiting for Xue Ne to answer, Fengying suddenly jumped down from the attic in the rain, hurriedly stepped forward, and hurriedly said, "Xue Lang, something happened." For some reason, the Luo River suddenly burst its banks, and the flood rushed into the city, and now about half of the shops have been damaged......"

Xue Ne's face became more and more embarrassed, and his brows condensed into pimples: "There are several dams in the upper reaches of Luoshui, and the water flow direction is different, unless they are all washed away, Luoyang will never have such a big flood at once, this matter must be a conspiracy of Gao Min, Shi Yuannian and others." What about the Marquis in the city? Have you started rescuing people and dredging rivers? ”

"Xue Lang don't have to worry, just now I saw that General Li Jingye led the Dragon and Tiger Army and the two thousand forbidden troops guarding the palace to assemble urgently, and they have begun to rescue the people and dredge the ditches in various places in Luoyang. Compared to the five years of Yonghui, we have experience and will never let the floods happen again. ”

Hearing Wind Shadow's words, Xue Ne breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly in agreement, but soon, his smile gradually stiffened, and he grabbed Wind Shadow and said hurriedly: "How about the moat of Miyagi?" Are the three bridges that enter Miyagi, the Zodiac Bridge, the Tianjin Bridge, and the Xingjin Bridge still there? ”

Kazekage had never seen Xue Ne so excited, and he was stunned for a moment before replying: "The bridge has not yet been washed away, but the water level has risen sharply, and it has overflowed the top of the bridge hole, and it is no longer possible for adults to walk." ”

Xue Ne shouted in his heart, and immediately said to Fengying: "Quickly inform General Li Jingye, and quickly take the forbidden army back to the city!" Gao Min is going to invade Miyagi by ship! ”

Xue Ne's expectation was good, due to the sharp rise in the water level of the Luo River, the twenty-nine squares east of Ziwei Palace from Tongyuan to Chengfu were almost completely submerged by the flood, and the higher Ziwei Palace completely became an isolated island on the vast water. The water overflowed the wooden suspension bridge outside the palace city, washed away the horses that blocked the foreign enemy, and made the palace wall of Zhanggao useless, and the forbidden army went out of the city to relieve the disaster, which made the Ziwei Palace defenseless, and it could be easily captured by boat.

In the Tianhou Imperial Palace in Ziwei Palace, Wu Zetian heard about the flood and was busy getting up and changing clothes. Sixteen years ago, when the Wei River was flooded, she was pregnant with Li Xian, if there was no Xue Rengui to come to the rescue, she and Li Zhi did not know what the fate would be, Empress Wu frowned, she was good at maintenance, her complexion was still the same, but the calm decision between the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes was not comparable to ordinary women. Luoyang here has the four rivers of Yiluoxi, and there is the Grand Canal dug in the previous dynasty, the hydrology is complex, but the flood control mechanism is excellent, if there is no chaos in someone, it is impossible to flood.

Empress Wu pondered, her expression became colder and colder, and at this time, a female official came in small steps, and her voice trembled a little: "After the enlightenment, there were groups of rebels outside...... The traitor has already been killed in Yingtianmen! ”

"What? Where do thieves come from? ”

"The flood overflowed the bridge outside Miyagi and reached the foot of Yingtianmen, and these thieves did not know where to get many small boats, and they went down the river from the upper reaches and ...... directly I came in by boat......"

"What about the Forbidden Army and the Dragon and Tiger Army? Where is Li Jingye? When will the Shendu defenders arrive? ”

"After returning to the heavens, the garrison's Jiama business had been damaged, and I was afraid that I would not be able to arrive for a while. An hour ago, the river embankment collapsed, the Ministry of Engineering asked for support, and the Ministry of War transferred the forbidden army and the Dragon and Tiger Battalion to help haul the masonry and stone according to the routine, and now it is ...... There are less than 1,000 people fighting against the anti-thieves who landed in ships at Yingtianmen, but now that the enemy is outnumbered and there is no commander to command, the situation is probably ......."

Wu Zetian didn't say anything, stopped and listened carefully, and sure enough, she could faintly hear the sonorous sound of swords against each other, and the shouts of the warriors who wanted blood to kill, she let out a long sigh, and her tone was still peaceful: "With such a plan and calculation mind, but taking such a crooked path, it is really not as good as his father." ”

The female officer saw that Wu Zetian was dressed in the wind, and wanted to go out, so she hurriedly said: "Queen of Heaven, it's dangerous outside, Queen of Heaven ......"

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, and a fearless light shot out of his charming peach blossom eyes: "Eldest Sun Sheng is a foolish person, and all he wants is the life of this palace." Your Majesty has had a head stroke tonight, and it is just that he is not feeling well, and there is no need to bother him because of this rotten and filthy person. This palace will meet him, if you can exchange the world for stability with this palace, what does it matter. ”

After that, Wu Zetian did not hesitate, strode out, and a palace person hurriedly rushed in to report, almost colliding with Wu Zetian, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said: "After the enlightenment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led Xue Shenyan and Fan Ning to come to the audience!" ”

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand to invite them in quickly. When Li Hong entered the palace, Wu Zetian rarely showed a little anxiety and anger, and pulled him to say: "Why don't you stay in the East Palace, you have a higher terrain there, and you have six rates of guards, just guard until the defenders come and everything will be fine, what are you going to do now?" ”

"How can the sons and daughters only care about their own safety and ignore their father and queen mother!" Li Hong can't remember how long he hasn't held hands with his father, queen mother, and queen mother, Ping Suli always comes first and then father and son, but at this moment, he is just a child who is worried about the safety of his parents, and said earnestly, "Don't worry about the queen mother, more than 800 soldiers led by Zhang Shun have come to the rescue, and he cautiously said that he has a way to break the enemy!" ”

Wu Zetian turned his gaze to Xue Ne, only to see that he was dressed in a short brown shirt and carrying a big bow behind him. Li Zhiyong has always been eclectic, and Wu Zetian is the same, not to mention extraordinary times, extraordinary use, she turned around and walked back to her seat, sat down majestically, and lightly opened her lips and said: "Xue Shenyan listens to the order, you will be the door tiger, the palace specially appointed you to be the commander, and lead the forbidden army to resist the enemy with the six rates of the East Palace." You must kill the thief leader, guard the palace ban, and protect Your Majesty's safety, do you understand? ”

"Command! It's just that...... The ministers are a little shallow, and they dare not occupy a handsome position, so they dare to recommend a person with superb martial arts, please become a queen of heaven! ”

Wu Zetian didn't know who Xue Ne was talking about, and when he saw him looking to the side, he followed his gaze, and finally landed on Fan Ning's charming and beautiful little face, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and there was a rare emotional change in her tone: "You? ”

At Yingtianmen, where the two armies were fighting, blood, rain, and floods were mixed, and Gao Min and Li Yuanchen led the thieves to fight endlessly with hundreds of forbidden troops and dragon and tiger armies.

The inner palace is not like the palace city, there is a whole circle of cities that can be defended high, so the forbidden army and the dragon and tiger army did not defend the city, but hoped to concentrate their forces and gather people to annihilate it when the opponent's ship landing was not stable. This was originally a superior strategy, but due to Gao Min and Li Yuanchen's strong martial arts and fierce moves, ordinary soldiers could not resist at all, resulting in the forbidden army and the Dragon and Tiger Army losing the opportunity, and they were forced to retreat step by step, losing troops and losing generals, infinitely approaching the gate of the inner palace, and the situation was extremely critical.

The Dragon and Tiger Army and the Forbidden Army are both armies, and they are better at exerting their combat effectiveness in groups than fighting alone, but in this situation of no generals and no commanders, the most powerful army in the Tang Dynasty is very powerless, and it is difficult to organize an attack.

"The Dragon and Tiger Army of the Tang Dynasty has those salaries, but they only have this ability?" Li Yuanchen in his early years was a member of the eunuch army, and he was not allowed to reuse, depressed, at this time, he riveted 120,000 points of strength to kill the forbidden army, he held a scimitar in his hand, and threw the falling raindrops at a dragon and tiger soldier in front, and when he was blinded by the water droplets, an arrow rushed forward, and the knife fell to kill it.

The gate of the inner palace was close in front of him, and Gao Min couldn't help but begin to fantasize about what kind of torture he had to use to kill Empress Wu to relieve his hatred. Unexpectedly, a horn sounded on the gatehouse, and after hearing it, the soldiers of the forbidden army and the dragon and tiger army gathered in one place while defending against the enemy. With the sudden sound of the inner palace door, hundreds of soldiers rushed out of the door with six leading soldiers, a silver helmet and silver armor, and a man in a handsome robe came out of the finale, the crimson cloak swayed and danced in the wind on a rainy night, and the heroic spirit was irresistible.

Gao Min and Li Yuanchen hurriedly signaled to the people under their command not to attack blindly, and waited with bated breath for the person to reveal their true faces.

The wind is sluggish, the rain is rustling, in the dark night and rain, the man finally stepped into battle, it was actually a gauze hat covered Chanjuan, an extremely delicate little face under the silver helmet, a few raindrops hanging on the long eyelashes, the eyes as dark as the night with coldness, cherry lips slightly pursed, with the double swords in his hands, not angry and self-righteous, sassy and heroic and other words can only depict this situation.

Li Yuanchen saw Fan Ning, and after being stunned for a moment, he laughed mercilessly: "Seeing that Datang is really empty, I actually sent a hairy girl to be a general, don't cry when you are beaten all over the ground to find teeth!" ”

Fan Ning sneered, did not fight with this person, raised the long sword above his head, and signaled the soldiers to prepare to fight the thief to the death.

Gao Min raised his eyes and looked at the palace at the end of the rain curtain, and saw Wu Zetian and Li Hong's mother and son standing at the highest place, looking down at the battled people. Gao Min's world suddenly darkened, as if only he and Empress Wu were left between heaven and earth, he didn't care that his accomplices were fighting with the forbidden army, put away his long sword, pulled the big bow behind him, and wanted to shoot Wu Zetian's heart with an arrow.

Said that it was too late and that was fast, a long arrow was shot from the tower of Tianmen City, and Gao Min's arrow was pushed away by his accomplices on the side before he could shoot it, and he raised his wolf-like eyes, only to see that the person who shot the arrow in the city tower was none other than Xue Ne, who was holding a big bow. Gao Min couldn't help laughing, and said to his side: "Who should I be, it turns out to be Xue Mingfu, who is the last in archery skills in Chongwen Pavilion!" Outside the ghost market that day, you said that you missed the shot, I thought you were pretentious, today's arrow is really beyond my expectations, even if you don't dodge, you can't shoot my hair! What's more, at the beginning of Xuanwu Gate, it was my father who hid on the top of the city tower and took advantage of Li Jiancheng's momentary negligence to shoot him, so that the first emperor and Li Pheasant slave had the country! You yellow-mouthed child, there must be a limit to the axe of the class! After that, Gao Min raised his bow and shot straight at the city tower, his archery skills were really sophisticated, powerful, fast, and extremely accurate, Xue Ne had already prepared, and he dodged sideways, but the arrows still flew past his ears and sideburns, forcing him to bend down and hide beside the arrow path for a while.

Zhang Shun saw that Gao Min wanted to be unfavorable to Empress Wu and Li Hong, so he immediately stepped forward with a sword and fought with Gao Min. Gao Min still refused to accept the bow, and while maneuvering with Zhang Shun, he waited for an opportunity to assassinate the mother and son of the Empress Wu.

Li Yuanchen used all his strength to fight with Fan Ning, but Fan Ning countered with his sword, but he should not fight, and immediately turned around and retreated into the forbidden army. In the blink of an eye, the Forbidden Army, the Six Rates and the Dragon and Tiger Army took advantage of the time gained by Fan Ning and Xue Ne to regroup and build a defensive infantry phalanx. The soldiers in the front row raised a long Mo knife, the soldier in the middle held a sword and shield ready to respond at any time, and the rear held a Mo knife or sword and shield for weapon support.

This side is the power of the Tang Dynasty, Fan Ning retreated to the rear of the formation, and drove the army forward step by step according to the orders given by Xue Ne. With a unified order, the soldiers finally found the rules of the battle, the eight-foot-long Mo knives were densely lined up, waving in unison, attacking with defense, attacking with defense, even if the martial arts were as strong as Li Yuanchen and others, in the face of this copper wall built like a steel blade, they had to retreat again and again, and could not find the slightest gap to attack.

Gao Min saw the situation, knowing that only the bow in his hand could open up the situation for his accomplices, he got rid of Zhang Shun's entanglement, switched the pointing of the bow and arrow from the queen to the Mo knife hand in the middle of the front row, and was about to shoot with the bow full, Fan Ning immediately ordered the shield soldiers in the back row to step forward, replace the Mo knife hand, and build a steel defense line.

The long arrow hit the iron shield, making a sonorous sound that made people feel ringing, Gao Min smiled disdainfully, as if he didn't take this carving insect skill to heart, and turned his head to ask the person beside him: "Where is Shi Yuannian?" His stragglers should have come over, right? ”

"Back to the young master, I guess the time should be almost up...... The troops outside the pass are also approaching Hangu Pass. ”

"Good!" Gao Min's handsome face became a little hideous, and he turned his head to stare at the Empress Wu and Li Hong in the inner palace, and said sharply, "The shrimp soldiers and crabs will be handed over to Shi Yuannian!" Fly and get ready! ”

In the blink of an eye, several thieves stepped forward, stacked the ladder, Gao Min retreated and stepped back, stepped on their shoulders and backs, jumped several feet high, overtook the inner palace wall, almost parallel to the Empress Wu and Li Hong, he bent his bow and arrows, restrained the slight trembling of his hands, and was about to loosen the strings, the whole person suddenly fell forward uncontrollably, and fell heavily to the ground, the pain of missing the opportunity surpassed the pain of the flesh at this time, he didn't have time to react, another cold object was inserted into his chest, Gao Min looked down, I saw that Xue Ne's black feather arrows were stuck straight in his thighs and chest, and the red blood couldn't help but gush out.

On the tower of the city, Xue Ne stood against the wind, holding a big bow in his hand, standing at the highest place of the battlement, needless to say, what he was waiting for was this moment. Before he arrived, Xue Ne had already taught Fan Ning in detail the method of sending troops to set up the formation: "The enemy drove a ship to break into the inner city, although it took advantage of the flood, but it was also our biggest chance of victory. The large inner wall is numerous, the place is narrow, it is difficult to outflank, just use the Mo sword array in front, cut and advance together, you can force it back; If the enemy has archers, the shieldmen immediately behind them will come forward to resist, and I will take this opportunity to snipe at the enemy archers from the castle tower. ”

What is the worst shooting score in the Chongwen Pavilion students, Xue Ne just doesn't like to compete in front of everyone. Gao Min only remembered that the eldest grandson Wuji shot Li Jiancheng at the head of the city, but probably forgot the legend of Xue Rengui's father Xue Rengui's "Three Arrows to Set the Heavenly Mountain", and how could the ultra-long-distance archery skills inherited by the Xue family for hundreds of years be in vain?

At this moment, in the middle of the formation, someone shouted "An army is coming!" Gao Min was angry, at this time he thought that Shi Yuannian led the stragglers to come to the rescue, and when he came to the rescue, he was struggling to get up, but he stared at his dark eyes, and saw that it was the vanguard of the Luoyang defenders of the Jiama Battalion who sailed ashore in the heavy rain.

The thieves had gathered for profit, but at this time, seeing that the so-called master had fallen to the ground with an arrow, and the reinforcements had arrived, they lost their armor and fled for their lives in a hurry, and no one cared about Gao Min at all. That Li Yuanchen originally wanted to come forward to save him, but he was slashed by Fan Ning's sword, vomiting blood and taking care of himself.

A full hour has passed since the agreed time with Shi Yuannian, but he still hasn't appeared, don't say it's him, even the slightest trace of those rangers and stragglers has not been seen, Gao Min became more and more weak, collapsed to the ground, and let the blood in his body spurt out, without any stopping power, he suddenly remembered that day in the underground palace of Guanyin Temple, when he kicked Shi Yuannian, the eyes of that guy.

Shi Yuannian's name "Bo Li" means "wolf", this Zhongshan wolf is afraid that he has already escaped his control, but he only wants to avenge the revenge of the year, but he didn't realize it. I don't know people clearly, I don't know how to use people, and I want to restore the powerful position of the eldest grandson's family, but it's just a dream, which makes others laugh in vain.
