Lanling, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, there's news back!"

The man in black hurriedly presented Shen Mengxian with the battle report that he had returned from the border pass, which was full of news about the raid plan.

"Success?"

Shen Mengxian closed his eyes and recuperated, not wanting to pick up the thing. This plan was made when Dongfang Yi was still there, and with the idea of a surprise attack on his part, he thought that Mo Xuanyin would not be prepared at all.

He didn't think about the unsuccessful outcome of this matter at all, so at this time it was natural that he was waiting for good news.

"Nope!" The man in black listened to Shen Mengxian's usual tone as if he was asking if the sun was rising from the east today, and he knew that things were not good: "General Shen Qiong has sent back news that the Yunnan Army has abandoned the first city and run away!" ”

"Abandon the city?"

Shen Mengxian's eyes slowly opened, and there was a sense of exploration in them.

"Yes!" The man in black felt the chill emanating from his master's body, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, and then turned his heart sideways: "Not only did he abandon it, but he also burned it." Because the city was burned, the generals are now blocked out of Yongzhou and are putting out the fire! ”

When he first saw the news, he was also shocked.

Although he is not very clear about the specific content of the action, just looking at the fact that a city was set on fire in Yunnan, this matter is not simple.

"Burned?" The chill on Shen Mengxian's body was even worse, and it actually made the man in black have an urge to escape: "Who is guarding that city?" ”

"Yes......" The man in black paused for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Mengxian's face: "Because of Mo Xuanyin's previous scheduling, we don't know about their guards. But there are rumors that it is the queen of Yunnan, ah no, it is His Royal Highness the regent of South Vietnam who is in Yongzhou. This is what he did when he set fire to the city. ”

Shen Mengxian quietly listened to the words of the man in black, and then rubbed his chin with one hand.

"Gu Xiwu?"

The voice was low, and it seemed to be smiling, but it was more of an eerie meaning that the man in black couldn't say.

When he heard the words Queen of Yunnan, Shen Mengxian couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart. It's calm, but it's a little too calm.

He even wondered if the heart that had been beating wildly for this woman had also stopped beating because of this woman without a conscience.

How could she, how could she stand on Mo Xuanyin's side so resolutely? Not hesitating, to go to such a dangerous place, just to stand on the opposite side of him to protect another man?

Even if she said so many heartless words, she desperately wanted to break off relations with him. But he can persuade himself that he still has a chance, one day, as long as he can prove that he is an existence better than Mo Xuanyin, this woman will be able to see his goodness.

But those original vows were shattered at this moment, and he couldn't find a trace of it.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Do you want to continue to reinforce General Shen Qiong? They ......"

"No!" Before the man in black could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Mengxian: "I can't even do this thing, Shen Qiong, don't come back!" ”

It's just a big fire, and as long as it is extinguished, it can continue. Since Gu Xiwu used such a method, it meant that they had no way to go head-to-head with the people led by Shen Qiong.

If that's the case, sooner or later, this group of people will hit Yongzhou City, and they won't set a second fire at that time, right?

"Now, are we going to see it? I'm afraid that after the general and the others finish the matter here, maybe Mo Xuanyin's side will also receive the news, and then it will become a new tug-of-war, which is only bad for us! ”

"Do you think her news will get out so easily?" Shen Mengxian smiled, since the plan that has been decided must be to ensure that nothing goes wrong, one of which is to ensure that they cannot pass on the news in the short term: "Compared to this, in fact, I care more about whether there is any care in that city." Go, let the Dark Guard send someone over to find out! ”

"Yes!"

The man in black replied, then bowed and withdrew.

On the fourth day after the fire, the light of the fire from the east faded away, and although it was still burning, it was not as good as it had been at the beginning. Gu Xiwu knew that those people were already coming.

Just like the previous two days, Gu Xiwu still went out on time, and then took a turn on the streets of Yongzhou to let everyone confirm that he was still there. did not leave as rumored, but kept the promise to be with them.

And just as Gu Xiwu expected, although the news of the Lanling army's pressure on the border brought a lot of impact to Yongzhou, most people were still able to stabilize their emotions. Except for a few who fled in a panic, the rest remained in the city as usual.

However, it is clear to everyone that the tension in the air is getting stronger with each passing day.

"Sun Yi!"

On this day, Sun Yi came down from the city wall and followed Gu Xiwu to accompany her through the circle.

"Master!" Sun Yi came closer: "What does the master command?" ”

"Let's go to Hengchi, and from today onwards, we will gradually resettle the people in the city to farther places. Suizhou, it's no longer safe. Gu Xiwu said, sighing a little helplessly: "If the reinforcements haven't arrived yet, I don't know how long we people will be able to resist." ”

"King of Yunnan, there has been no news?"

Speaking of reinforcements, the muscles on Sun Yi's face twitched, and then he looked at Gu Xiwu with some surprise.

They are desperate here, but no one has responded so far, which makes him feel that Mo Xuanyin is using them as cannon fodder. It's not a good feeling.

If it weren't for Gu Xiwu, he might have rushed to Mo Xuanyin by now and asked him what he thought.

"Nope!" Gu Xiwu shook her head: "I suspect that there is something wrong with the news I came out, otherwise it would be impossible to have no response until now." ”

Gu Xiwu held his forehead, and suddenly felt a little headache.

She hadn't thought about this situation before she set off, and at that time she only felt that although this matter seemed dangerous, as long as the communication between them was timely, there would be no major problems. After all, now it is not only them who are at the end of the crossbow, but Shen Mengxian is also the same.

But no one expected that there would be such a big mistake in messaging.

But logically speaking, in fact, the direction of the future is still peaceful, even if someone from Lanling intercepts it, there will be no news at all? What went wrong?

"We can't last long!" Sun Yi said thoughtfully: "Master, then I'll ...... first"

"Wait, catch that guy!"

Before Sun Yi finished speaking, he saw Gu Xiwu's face change greatly, and then Cong Tea Stalls quickly got up and pointed at an inconspicuous man in the crowd and shouted.

"Go!"

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment, and then rushed out first, and the secret guards behind him also followed when they saw this.

"Mother, who is that?"

The little maid has been following Gu Xiwu for the past few days, and she is not as shy as she was the first time.

"Enemy!"

Gu Xiwu's red lips opened lightly, and there was a chill in his eyes.

Although the person was dressed no different from ordinary people, a pair of eyes couldn't hide Gu Xiwu. In addition, although he was hidden in the crowd, his eyes never left this tea stall.

If it is the people of Yongzhou, I am afraid that they have long been accustomed to the appearance of Gu Xiwu, the queen mother, here these days, and no one looks here as if they are watching the excitement. So, this person should be in question.

In addition, he has exposed his identity for a few days, and after hearing the news, Shen Mengxian should also make a move.

"Is there an enemy in the city?" When the little maid heard this, her eyes turned red in a hurry: "Then what should we do?" ”

"What are you crying about!" Gu Xiwu looked at her, her tone was a little stern, but she was reluctant to scold a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world like this: "It's okay, it's ...... for a while"

"Master, be careful!"

Almost in the shadow of the sword, Gu Xiwu only heard Sun Yi shouting. She subconsciously grabbed the little maid and flashed to the side, but she still felt a pain in her heart.

Turning her head, she saw the man who had already run away pass past him, and then quickly disappeared in the other direction.

"Master!" Seeing that Gu Xiwu was injured, Sun Yi hurriedly ran over, and when he saw that the man left, he wanted to chase after him.

"Stop chasing!"

It seemed that because of the pain, Gu Xiwu's whole voice trembled a little. She clutched her wounded position with her right hand.

That place was a little to the right under the heart, if it wasn't for Sun Yi shouting to let himself dodge, maybe the knife was right on his heart now.

That person actually killed himself!

"Master?" Sun Yi originally wanted to ask Gu Xiwu why he didn't let him chase him, but when he saw Gu Xiwu's wound, he still took all the words back: "How are you?" ”

"Can't die!" Panting heavily, Gu Xiwu forced herself not to faint: "Quick, take me back!" ”

At this time, there were not many people on the side of the tea shed, so except for Sun Yi's voice just now, it did not cause a bigger riot. No one found out that Gu Xiwu was actually seriously injured, and Gu Xiwu was holding on to it, also to prevent the news from becoming unacceptable.

"I'm carrying you?"

"Don't!" Gu Xiwu waved his hand: "I'll go by myself, I can't let people know that my injury is so serious!" ”

Gu Xiwu gritted her teeth, slowly stood up with the support of the little maid, and then pulled the cloak behind her to cover the wound in front of her, and left the place slowly.

Although it doesn't look like usual, I've tried my best to look like I'm not hurting.
