Chapter 609: The Wedding Surprise
Half a month later, the wedding date has arrived, as a political marriage between Shu and Chen, the scene is naturally not too small, and Chen also sent the second son as a team to send relatives. As for why don't you send the eldest son? How could a prince who was equivalent to a kingdom easily set foot in the land of another country?
As the celebrant ceremony was announced, the wedding went smoothly, but things were not always smooth sailing. Of course, they didn't come across a scene where someone suddenly came out to make a big fuss about the wedding, but a herald shouting 'Emergency!' Rushed in.
I'm afraid this is also the most glorious moment in the life of this herald, the military newspaper in his hand forcibly interrupted the wedding of the lord, and there is no one left. The military report was handed over to Meng Xuanlang, and the herald said: "Report to the king, Wuyang County reports, on March 28, the Duke of Shunan led 200,000 soldiers to the Wuyang County Governor's Office, and the minister Huang Hong led the county guards to defend it to the death, vowing to live and die with the city. ”
"Two days ago? No, you can fight from Jianning to Wuyang, huh? There is no news coming out, is it a descent from the wind? Or is it complicit? Besides, when you left, did Wuyang go to war? Meng Xuanlang forcibly calmed himself down and asked.
The herald said, "......"
"Report ......" another herald with a feathered arrow on his back ran in. Meng Xuanlang said: "But the news of Wuyang? Say it. ”
The herald said: "Wuyang is lost! The county guard was killed in battle, and only 200 of the county guards were still defending with a total of 3,000 people, and his subordinates were ordered by the county lord to risk death to report the news, and it is estimated that Wuyang had been lost at this time. ”
"How can it be so fast?" Meng Xuanlang asked in disbelief.
"Report to the king, there are demons on the side of the Duke of Shunan, the two thousand eight hundred people who originally went to the city wall to defend were all killed by a green poisonous mist, when the small ones went up to the city tower, they found that all of them were bleeding to death, and the small ones also peeked at it, and there was a woman and a man in black robe on the opposite side, but they were too far away to see their faces clearly, and there was a group of black-clothed people with masks behind them." The herald said.
Hua Qiangu reacted and said, "It's the person who killed the seven, the woman who controlled the poisonous mist had seen it in Taibai Gate before, and the black robe was very likely to be Shan Chunqiu." ”
"What is the Seven Killing Hall doing when it participates in the battle between the kingdoms and dynasties, isn't there an agreement between the secular and the immortal world? If the world supports the fairy world, the fairy world cannot meddle in the affairs of the world, and he is not afraid of attracting the discussion of the fairy world. Meng Xuanlang said angrily.
Qingshui opened the bead curtain in front of him and said: "Brother Meng, don't worry, that Shan Chunqiu is just a defeated general under the eternals, as for the Seven Kills, we can immediately notify Changliu Shushan to come to help, it is not a difficult thing to do." The top priority at the moment is to immediately reorganize the army and confront the 200,000 army of the Duke of Shunan. ”
"You're right, then Qiangu, the matter of contacting the fairy world is up to you, General Lie, immediately order the garrisons of the military battalion outside the city to enter the city to participate in the defense......"
"Your Majesty......" Lie Xingyun showed embarrassment, seeing Lie Xingyun's embarrassment, Meng Xuanlang said, "What's the matter?" Lie Xingyun said: "Your Majesty, you said before that the military battalion was a waste of national strength because of the corpse in the corpse for a vegetarian meal, so you sent the soldiers of the military battalion to renovate the Dujiangyan water conservancy project, saying that it was for the benefit of the people and at the same time it could also exercise the physical strength of the soldiers, and now there are only 5,000 soldiers left in the military battalion outside Chengdu, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
After Lie Xingyun finished speaking in one breath, he couldn't see Meng Xuanlang's face becoming more and more ugly. Meng Xuanlang gritted his teeth unnaturally and said: "Then immediately order the five thousand soldiers to enter the city, and send someone to Dujiangyan with my tiger talisman to transfer troops, and the horse will arrive in two hours, and order them to enter Chengdu before dawn tomorrow to defend." ”
"What if I don't all come in......" Looking at Meng Xuanlang's eyes that wanted to kill, Lie Xingyun consciously kept his mouth shut about this issue. Meng Xuanlang actually thought well, entering the city before dawn, at least it was easier to hide the number of his soldiers in the dark night, so that the enemy could not figure out his details.
Towards the evening, the enemy army had reached the south gate of Chengdu, but after all, it was already sleepy and tired, and it was impossible to directly attack the city today, so they were stationed. The Chengdu defenders did not relax their guard until they saw smoke rising from the military camp opposite. Meng Xuanlang also climbed the city tower and asked, "Lie Xingyun, where is our army?" ”
"King, they are less than twenty miles away from Chengdu, and they should all be able to enter the city at night." Lie Xingyun said. Meng Xuanlang ordered again: "Let them enter the city from the north gate in batches, and don't make a sound." Meng Xuanlang was outside commanding, and he probably didn't have much time to sleep this night.
On the other hand, Hua Qiangu also has insomnia, the difference is that she is excited. In Zheng Hao's story, she naturally also told her many war stories, from the collision of soldiers and horses in the cold weapon period to the fierce fighting and destruction of the interstellar war, but the teenage Hua Qiangu naturally has an inexplicable sense of worship for this. And now, how can she not be excited about her personal participation in a war?
"Thousand bones!" Zheng Hao's voice came from her mind, Hua Qiangu sat up instantly, she knew that this was Zheng Hao's divine thoughts, "Master? Hua Qiangu said.
Zheng Hao's voice sounded again, "This time your chance has come, didn't you say before that Taiyan found you a good sword, but in Meng Xuanlang's hands?" This time, you can take the opportunity to ask for it. ”
"But that's the artifact of Shu Kingdom?"
"But this so-called artifact attracted Shan Chunqiu's peeping."
Hua Qiangu turned his brain, "Compassion Sword?!" ”
"That's right, so you take away this sword, it's a blessing or a curse for the Shu Kingdom, they are too weak, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty......"
One night later, on the tower of the city, the military formations of both sides had been spread out. Meng Xuanlang looked at Hua Qiangu in disbelief and said, "What? Do you want my Zhenguo Divine Sword of Shu? ”
"I have already explained that Shan Chunqiu is here for this sword, and you can't keep it, and even your life will be in danger because of it." Hua Qiangu said kindly.
Meng Xuanlang didn't appreciate it, and said: "Master Hua, as long as you help us repel the enemy's attack this time, Shu Kingdom's worship of Shu Mountain will rise by three layers, and as long as the enemy army is repulsed, no one in Shu will have any right to speak except me." ”
"You don't understand, Shan Chunqiu wants to snatch the Compassion Sword in your hand, there are many ways, such as assassination, poisoning, and plundering, ......, do you really think you can deal with these endlessly?" Hua Qiangu said.
"Compassion Sword?" Meng Xuanlang said: "I said that they all focused on this sword, but it turned out to be a ten-party artifact, and it was a good calculation." Hua Qiangu felt that the possibility of Heping getting into the Compassion Sword was getting lower and lower, but Meng Xuanlang said, "Okay! I'll give you the sword of mercy! ”
