Chapter 301: Opening the City Gate
That's right.
At that time, Bo Zhaoxu only asked someone to send back the things that Mrs. Gu wanted, and he didn't mention anything else, how could Mrs. Gu know that the "old bald donkey" in her mouth had already passed away.
There is too much talk about this, and it is nothing more than to increase the troubles between each other.
"This time I came to consult my seniors because of the strange illness of my beloved wife."
Bo Zhaoxu tied up the sleeve of his left hand, measured the size of about a foot on his forearm, and signaled to Old Madam Gu: "I see that there is a red thread on her wrist, which is so long, as if pierced into flesh and blood, it is very terrifying. ”
I remembered the thing on the arm of the night, which began to grow from the wrist, like a red thread piercing into the skin, and like a meridian born out of the flesh and blood.
Such an obvious thing, Bo Zhaoxu didn't believe that Xiang Yeqi never found out, but he was bitter, worried about how long she had hidden this pain from herself.
Old Madam Gu listened carefully, and sighed more and more excitedly: "The little girl is really interesting, ordinary people can't suppress such evil Gu, it's hard for her to endure it to this day, even I can't help but admire." Here, I'll show you. ”
As she spoke, Old Madam Gu lifted her sleeves, revealing similar traces, but the color of her red line was black, and it seemed to be a dried tree root.
Bo Zhaoxu glanced at Old Madam Gu in confusion.
"Out of this vein, ordinary people will definitely die, but if you can suppress the strange Gu in your body, you will still have life." Old Madam Gu said, "This Gu is dead, but I can't pull it out, so I can only keep it in my body with this red thread." The little girl looked mediocre, and it was really amazing to be able to survive for so long. Well, after all, I have a ...... for you."
Old Madam Gu handed the round jade bead to Bo Zhaoxu and said, "This can suppress all the strange Gu in the world, and it is useless for me to keep it now." ”
This is what Bo Zhaoxu asked for from the Western Xia Kingdom.
"Thank you, senior."
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be polite to a sinner like my mother-in-law, as I just said, I have a request for you, so naturally you should show some sincerity."
Old Madam Gu squinted meaningfully, smiling slyly: "But after all, this thing is just to suppress the strange Gu, Your Majesty will bring Gu Gou's head one day earlier, and the little girl will be able to be saved one day earlier." ”
Co-authored or threatened him.
Bo Zhaoxu took the jade bead into his arms properly, "Write it down." ”
Early the next morning, Xiang Yeqi found that he had an unseen bracelet on his wrist.
She pushed the man next to her, but the man pretended to be stupid with her: "Yan'er looks good when she wears it." ”
Oh, man.
Xiang Yeqi carefully touched the crack in the bed and slipped out of bed, thinking about how to forage for food, and met Yingyan who rushed in.
Yingyan's face was full of panic and panic.
Xiang Yeqi suddenly felt Yingyan's high volume circulating in her ears, her eyes darkened, and she pushed Yingyan out of the door, while reminding in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, wait until you go out, Your Majesty is still resting." ”
Ying Yan nodded timidly, and only dared to react when he stepped out of the temple door with his feet. She suddenly turned her mind and nervously grabbed Xiang Yeqi's wrist: "Niangniang, the county lord of the Chang Dynasty has left the palace by himself again!" ”
The thunder descended into the world, and the thunder to the night turned black.
She calmed her restless breathing, a far-fetched smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, and asked gently: "Yingyan, you say it again, who left the palace by themselves?" ”
Ying Yan was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly: "The county lord of the Chang Dynasty!" ”
……
Xiang Yeqi frowned, the beautiful morning began to end from this moment, and she also piggybacked to draw an early end to her beautiful day.
"When did the county lord of the Chang Dynasty leave the palace? With whom? Where did you go? ”
"My subordinates have sent someone to investigate!"
Ying Yan comforted Xiang Yeqi, "Don't worry, the palace guards should have news soon, if according to what the flower girl said, the county lord should leave in the middle of the night, I really don't know how those guards dare to let go!" ”
This question is also very curious to the night.
Before the matter was settled, the sound of the heavy armor collision had been heard for a long time, and it was the Xue family and his wife who broke into the dormitory in a surging manner.
Mrs. Xue's long hair was only roughly tied up, and a few strands of hair were scattered on her face because she didn't have time to take care of it, she wiped the arrow scratches on her face, and was anxious: "Niangniang, where is Your Majesty now?" ”
Thinking about it, he didn't know that it was a good thing, so Xiang Yeqi had to reply truthfully: "I'm still resting, if the two generals Xue have anything, you can tell me directly." ”
General Xue and Mrs. Xue glanced at each other worriedly, and General Xue cupped his fists and reported: "Hui Niangniang, those Hu people have no rules, and they are already attacking the city!" ”
"They're crazy?"
Xiang Yeqi didn't have time to react.
War is indeed not about human feelings, but as a big country, the Hu people should first issue a war letter before starting a war, otherwise they deserve to be instructed by the world, like Gu Yanchao, who wants to send troops to invade and occupy China, and is eager to classify himself as a righteous person, how can he send troops so hastily.
I'm afraid I'm going to tear my face completely.
Xiang Yeqi's heart sounded with a calm expression, and the coldness between her hands reminded her that she was not calm now, and even a little worried. Old friends Chinese network
Xiang Yeqi sighed: "Don't worry, two generals, I'll go and ask Your Majesty." ”
General Xue bowed gratefully: "There is Lao Niangniang!" ”
Pushing open the door, Xiang Yeqi still wanted to shiver.
But when I walked in, I felt like that.
She sat on the edge of the bed and pushed Bo Zhaoxu, who was already sleeping very lightly: "Hu Bing is attacking the city, which is similar to what you expected." ”
Even if Gu Yanchao pressed it, the people behind him couldn't wait, as soon as Qiu Ming died, they would definitely take advantage of this chaos to "crusade" against Huaguo.
That's why the generals of the Xue family and other generals deployed in advance to prevent Hu soldiers from sneaking up.
But at this time, it was just dawn, and their temperament was too impatient.
Bo Zhaoxu sat up lazily from the bed, tidied up his clothes, sprinkled coquettishly on Xiang Yeqi's shoulder, and rubbed it twice: "The war is urgent? ”
Xiang Yeqi: "I don't know very well, General Xue is in a hurry, so I'll hurry up and talk to you, but I thought at this time, it should be General Xue who is afraid of dragging it out for too long, and you don't know the news of the war yet, so it's not good for him to do anything." If the war is really urgent, it won't be just the two of them who will come to report the news. ”
Bo Zhaoxu nodded, and walked out of the dormitory with Xiang Yeqi.
Seeing him, the Xue family and his wife were finally relieved.
General Xue went to the city wall and reported the battle situation to Bo Zhaoxu: "Fortunately, Your Majesty had foresight, so Hu Jun did not seize the opportunity. Now that the Hu army has retreated a hundred meters, it should not wait for the opportunity to attack the city until after noon. ”
He set up an extremely standard banner, and before he could finish speaking, a burning rocket from under the city wall was fired, but fortunately, the soldiers on the city wall reacted very quickly and extinguished the burning arrow in one fell swoop.
However, this fiery arrow was only a primer, and the Hu soldiers immediately picked up the Pu knife and began to mount their horses to attack the city, fighting with the defenders of the city.
Gu Yanchao can be said to have bet all his troops on today, and there is another Western Xia light cavalry to help, so at this point, it is still Huaguo who has the upper hand.
Bo Zhaoxu suddenly stretched out his hand and interlocked his fingers with Xiang Yeqi: "Are you afraid?" ”
He didn't dare to guess whether the reason for Xiang Yeqi's cold hands was because he was afraid in his heart, or because his illness could not be delayed.
Xiang Yeqi knew that his hands were cold, and he smiled bitterly: "I can't say clearly." I just think you've been too serious lately, I'm afraid they're really hard to deal with. ”
There was a sudden change before the battle, and it was Gu Yanchao who appeared in front of the battle with his own chariot, and began to command his soldiers to step forward, holding the little Shizi who was taken away by him in his arms, Xiao Shizi cried and kept trying to break free from his arms.
It's really brazen.
It was too far away for Xiang Yeqi to hear what he was saying, but he could only vaguely identify from this person's face, in addition to commanding his soldiers, he was also threatening the life and death of his subordinate Xiao Shizi.
After half an hour of swords and swords, the soldiers defending the city of Huaguo had the upper hand, and they were almost about to be breached by the city gate, so they had to retreat to the city.
Just like Bo Zhaoxu arranged.
But this is still a gamble, and if you lose a move on Qiu Ming, it will be difficult to have a chance to turn over.
General Xue shouted loudly in front of the battle to boost the morale of the soldiers: "Soldiers, Your Majesty is behind us, there is no need to retreat, as long as Your Majesty is still here, the family and country are there!" ”
Gu Yanchao also shouted hoarsely to the city wall: "Bo's faint monarch, the monarch of Western Xia is my Hu State Friendship Alliance, since you have poisoned him, then I will definitely seek justice for him and crusade against you, the faint monarch!" Come on, and then give me a siege! Don't be timid, there's a lone king here! ”
Xiang Yeqi suddenly had a bottom.
It turned out that Gu Yanchao boasted that he was holding the chessboard in his hand, and everyone was a chess piece in his hand, and he inadvertently fell into a part of Bo Zhaoxu's scheme.
"Xiang Yeqi, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid."
Bo Zhaoxu let the howling wind blow up the rough dust and sand to polish his cheeks, and he also wanted to protect Xiang Yeqi in his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "If you miscalculate today, I will also protect Yeqi's safety, if something happens to you, it must be because I died before this." As long as I have a breath of air, I won't allow these people to hurt you. ”
"Don't say such tragic things, I don't want to die, and I don't want you to die."
Xiang Yeqi pursed his lips, and he couldn't tell what kind of changes would be made in a while.
She just thinks that these people who are gambling on this matter are a little crazy.
The countermeasure of the Chinese defenders to deal with the Hu army was to deliberately show weakness, and it seemed that someone had the upper hand, and the situation was extremely poor, but in fact, no one was injured so far.
Under the command of Gu Yanchao, the soldiers of Hu State were like a group of crazy people, they didn't care about their own life or death, and they didn't care that they were stepping on the flesh and blood of their brothers in the same army, so they attacked step by step, stepping on the muddy and damp blood.
Every inch is blood.
The corners of Xiang Ye's mouth are shaking, and the corners of his eyes are red.
When the ministers of the court heard about the start of the war, they had their own thoughts, but they all accumulated at the city wall and began to panic.
Xiang Yeqi even cut off Liu Shangshu took his wife's hand, and confessed his last words with a handful of snot and tears: "Madam, I must be martyred for the country this time, the country is not there, and I have no way to live, alas! You take good care of Nianguo and Zhen'er, I have taken care of everything for you, if anything happens, you just take the children and your mother to leave in a carriage, it matters to live......"
