On the hill, a man in a crimson robe walked out of the Yan army, he was carrying the sun on his back, and the distance was far away, so he naturally couldn't see his face clearly, but just by looking at his body shape and bearing, the Dark Cloud King guessed who he was.

"I didn't expect Emperor Yan to come in person."

"Emperor Yan?" A cold current of fear began to rise in everyone's hearts, and they stared at it from afar, feeling the breath of death getting closer and closer.

On the hill, Mu Liancheng looked at the remnant army for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on the two brothers, King Xiyi and King Wuyun.

"King of the Clouds! Many years have passed, you and I have met again, I don't know if the prince is okay? ”

This was an absolute mockery and provocation, and the King of the Clouds stared at it so hard that his eyes were about to pop out, and his fists were clenched and creaking, and he hated to rush up the hill at once and devour that life alive.

There was another voice from there: "King Xiyi! It's the first time I've met you, and for the sake of you, for the sake of your older age, it's polite to be here! ”

Then, Mu Liancheng hugged his fist over there, and after the polite words were finished, he began to get down to business: "I have nearly 10,000 people here, and you can't escape with a thousand remnants of soldiers no matter what, so it's better to be captured immediately, and go back to Xilin Pass with me, from now on, to be my big swallow people, right?" ”

"Surrender! Surrendered! Surrendered! The Yan army raised its banner and shouted in unison, and the shouting shook the sky, almost breaking people's hearts.

"King, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, let's go down first, right? If you plan to escape in the future, you will be able to make a comeback! ”

"yes, we can't die here in vain!"

"There are still old and young in my family, they won't be able to live if I die, I don't want to die yet!"

After a night of running, many people were on the verge of collapse, and at this moment, seeing that the enemy army was not ready to kill them, and there was still a glimmer of life, it was natural to seize everything.

Of course, there are also those who are not afraid of death, although only a few, and the shouts are smaller.

"What is falling? We are soldiers of Xiyi, iron-clad, we would rather die than give in, how can we be greedy for life and fear death to surrender to the enemy? ”

"Yes, we can't surrender, even if we die here, we are willing to fight for Xiyi, fight for the king, until the last moment!"

Someone immediately retorted: "If you don't surrender now, there is only a dead end!" The king is the leader of Xiyi, if he dies like this, Xiyi will inevitably be in chaos, and then Dayan will take the opportunity to send troops to attack, and Xiyi will be finished! ”

"You fart! If the king of Xiyi is captured by the Yan army and taken prisoner, it will bring shame to the entire Xiyi, and then Xiyi will really be finished! ”

The people on both sides then chattered and quarreled, and there was a great tendency to fight, and Mu Liancheng and his soldiers on the hill were particularly excited to see the excitement.

"That's it! Shut up! The Cloud King roared, and everyone was immediately silenced, looking at him with eager eyes, hoping that he would make a decision.

However, in such a situation at this moment, the King of Dark Clouds couldn't make up his mind, and after hesitating for a while, he turned his head to look at the King of Xiyi, who was also in a tangle.

Then the crowd turned their gaze to King Xiyi.

"Big Brother ......"

"Second brother, do you want to descend?"

The Dark Cloud King paused slightly, frowned and nodded, and responded: "Yes, it is true that dying here is heroic, but it doesn't make much sense, my nephew is still young, and I can't suppress the ministers in the court, if you and I die here, Xiyi will soon be divided, and the country laid down by the ancestors will be destroyed in our hands, compared to this ending, being humiliated for a while is nothing at all." ”

King Xiyi nodded, in fact, he thought the same way, but he still couldn't afford such a shame if he wanted his dignified king of Xiyi to be a prisoner.

"Second brother, Xiyi will be handed over to you in the future, you are more suitable to be this king than me, I hope you can keep Xiyi instead of me, I should bless you in heaven."

"What do you mean?" The King of Dark Clouds had a bad premonition, the expression on his face changed, and he looked down, but saw that a dagger had been inserted in the left abdomen of the King of Xiyi at some point, and blood flowed out, staining half of his clothes red.

"Big brother!"

"King!"

Everyone was shocked and surrounded one after another, King Xiyi fell into the arms of King Wuyun, took his last breath to untie the saber on his waist, stuffed it into his hand, and said intermittently: "I have caused hundreds of thousands of Xiyi troops to be wiped out, and I have no face to live again, only to apologize for my sins with death, second brother, you will be the king of Xiyi in the future, you must find a way to go back, reorganize the mountains and rivers, and avenge tonight in the future." ”

"Big brother......" The hand holding the saber of the Cloud King couldn't help but tremble.

"Promise me!" King Xiyi said in a tone that was almost pleading.

In this situation, the King of Dark Clouds did not have the right not to agree at all, and the eight-foot man suddenly burst into tears, and replied with his head: "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely avenge today's revenge." ”

King Xiyi finally put his mind at ease, and exhausted the last bit of strength, and slowly closed his eyes.

"King! King! ”

Nearly a thousand soldiers knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, the cry resounded in the mountains and fields, and spread to the side of the hills, Mu Liancheng looked at it coldly, and didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart, this Xiyi King is still a little backbone.

In the end, the King of Dark Clouds led a thousand remnants of soldiers and a corpse of the King of Xiyi to surrender to the Yan army.

Just when Mu Liancheng was about to return to Xilin Pass with his captives, he received a shocking news - 10,000 Xiyi troops passed through Jianglin County and went straight to Cui County, and now they are besieging Cui County, and the situation is critical.

Mu Liancheng found out that in the Xiyi army, there was one less Mu Beituo.

Jiang Tianba frowned and said: "I found out that Mu Beituo was missing from the Xiyi camp before, and I thought he was just sick, or was sent to do something else, so I didn't care, but I didn't expect him to lead troops to bypass Xilin Pass and go straight to Cui County." ”

"However, fortunately, he only has 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he occupies the small Cui County, he can't do anything, when we return to the army, we will immediately clean him up, he only has to beg for mercy, and the emperor doesn't have to worry."

"Alas, you don't know...... Mu Liancheng is obviously not as optimistic as him, the two sword eyebrows are twisted together, Feng Qingyan is still living in Cui County, besides......

"The Xiyi army is murderous and violent, once Cuixian is breached, the people will inevitably suffer, Mu Beituo is fighting this battle with a revenge mentality, and it is impossible to treat the people of Li well, I am worried that even if we return to the army to rescue, he will threaten me with the lives of the people in the city, and then the King of Dark Clouds and those captives will probably have to be released."

"Ah, this ......" Jiang Tianba didn't think of it so much, and when he heard him say this, he also felt tricky, "Then what should I do?" ”

Mu Liancheng thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Don't care about so much for now, pass the order, and immediately set off to return to Xilin Pass!" ”

Just as the Yan army was rushing back, Cui County was already in dire straits.

Thirty miles outside the east city gate, stationed menacing Xiyi army, they are vicious and bloodthirsty, as soon as they come, they will kill the nearby people cleanly, so frightened that the people within a radius of 100 miles either hide in the mountains for refuge, or have entered the city to seek refuge, now the city gate is closed, the tense and dangerous atmosphere is shrouded in the sky, the people in the city are panicked, for fear that the group of jackals, tigers and leopards outside the city will attack at any time, and they will also be brutally killed.

Cui County is a lonely city, the original garrison was less than 1,000 people, and later learned that the Xiyi army was coming, Xicuiguan allocated 3,000 men and horses, but in the face of more than 10,000 strong soldiers and horses of the enemy, this person obviously could not hold the city.

Considering this, Qin Luo estimated that it would not take a few days for the enemy army to invade the city, and out of consideration for Feng Qing's safety, he decided to take her to Xicui Pass to hide.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that when she proposed this decision, she was strongly opposed by Feng Qingfang.

"If you want to go, you go, I won't leave the people of the city to flee for their lives at this time." She spoke in a firm tone and more seriously than ever.

Qin Luo knew that she often liked to be strong, but she wasn't too shocked, but it was just in the past, how could it be the time to be reckless?

"Niangniang, I know that you are thinking about the safety of the people, but now that the soldiers are in the city, it is useless to stay here, why bother to die? Hurry up and pack your bags and get out of town immediately. ”

Feng frowned wildly, still insisting on Fang Cai's determination: "I said it, I won't leave, you don't have to say it again." ”

"! You don't care about your own life and death, don't you think about the emperor? If something happens to you, what should you do to call the emperor? Qin Luo was so anxious that his palms were sweating, but the person in front of him was surprisingly stubborn.

"It's for the sake of the emperor that I can't go." Feng said solemnly, "As the queen of Dayan, when the crisis came, she left the people to flee for her life alone, and spread it out not only to lose my own face, but also to lose the face of the emperor, to lose the face of Dayan, I can't!" ”

She has always been in state affairs, she can't help Mu Liancheng, that is because she can't do it, but now if she escapes, she has no backbone, and she can't lose Mu Liancheng's face.

Seeing that she said sonorously and powerfully, Qin Luo was also infected, and her heart was shaken, but it was only a matter of a moment, her duty was to protect the personal safety of the queen, the life and death of the people in the city, even if she wanted to, she couldn't control it, right now, I'm afraid she can only use it.

"If Niangniang doesn't leave, your subordinates and others will only forcibly take you away."

Feng Qing glared at her angrily, "Don't threaten me, I don't want to leave, no one can force me, if you say more, don't talk to me in the future, and I don't need your protection." ”

"!" Qin Luo was almost angry and cried, she clearly had good intentions, why did she still act like a bad person?

Feng Qingfang didn't look at her, went back to the house, put on a cloak and a turban, and went straight to the door of the post house when he came out.

Seeing this, Qin Luo hurriedly chased after him, "Niangniang, where are you going?" It's very chaotic outside, so don't go out! ”

"I'll go to the city camp and the government." Feng said lightly, covered his face with a turban, turned his head to Qin Luo and said, "You don't have to follow, let's go out of the city." ”
