Yan Rongling looked around, pulled over a piece of paper, quickly wrote a few words, and gave them to Ye Thirteen after drying them.

"When you get to Shanhaiguan, remember to help me give this letter to Mingzhu."

Ye 13 put the letter in his personal pocket and said with a smile: "Okay." Originally, I planned that if General Xiao refused to send troops, I would go alone. Now with 5,000 people, I am more confident, how can I hold on to you. ”

"I will ask the army to travel for an extra hour every day, and the speed will be a little faster, at most on the evening of the 29th, or early on the 31st, and they will be able to reach Shenzhou. You tell Mingzhu and Zibin that they must hold on. ”

Yan Rongling solemnly entrusted, Ye Shisan gave a military salute awe-inspiringly, and replied, "I will arrive before the twenty-eighth and do my best." ”

"Ye Thirteen, you bring Wu Yue with you, if you can save the pearl, there will be one day for me in the future, and you will be the marquis for one day."

This is today's Yan Rongling, the most explicit expression that can be spoken.

"The six princes rest assured, there are no subordinates without the county lord. Even if he dies, his subordinates will protect the county lord, and reputation is secondary, as long as someone is there. ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Shisan tightened the gray squirrel on his body, turned around and walked out resolutely.

Yan Rongling took off the crane and then lay down on the bed, listening to the sound of uniform footsteps outside, thinking about Gu Fanghua in her heart, and fell asleep.

He didn't know that this night was a thrilling night for Gu Fanghua.

The Mongol and Jurchen steppe coalition forces have been besieging the city day and night for ten days, and the number of casualties in the Great Zhou has now reached 80,000. There are now less than 20,000 soldiers who can go up to the city wall in Shanhaiguan.

When Gu Fanghua and Yan Shaoxun arrived at Shanhaiguan, although they had already prepared in their hearts, they were still stunned by the tragedy of the war in front of them.

People were constantly being carried down from the walls, and the corpses were temporarily piled up on the right side.

All kinds of miserable and terrible stump corpses, soaked in blood, and the snow in the entire place where the corpses were stacked was already dark red.

There was also the disgusting smell of blood in the air, and the shouting and killing on the city wall, all of which constantly refreshed Gu Fanghua's cognition.

The wounded soldiers, on the other hand, gathered on the left side, as long as they could walk, and those whose hands were not broken were dragging the wounded to help. Military doctors simply can't treat so many people, and there are not enough medicines, and people are constantly dying in wailing, and others are in pain that life is worse than death, but they beg for a good time.

Gu Shinian, who was commanding the soldiers and preparing to change shifts, suddenly saw Gu Fanghua, hurriedly explained Lu Fei, who was his deputy, and strode over.

Gu Fanghua saw that Su Ri's face was picturesque, and his demeanor was elegant, like the second brother of an immortal. Now his beard is unkempt, his eyes are deep, his face is yellow and thin, and when he walks like the wind, he can't help but wet his eyes.

"Second brother!"

"Pearl! Why are you here, didn't I ask Changxin to bring you a message and ask you to find a place to hide? ”

Now the people who can kill the enemy are guarding the city wall, and Gu Shinian has no martial arts, so he is responsible for the soldiers to change shifts to eat and rest. Yan Changxin's martial arts are not good either, so he is responsible for the supply of meals and the rotation of weapons.

Everyone is doing their best to keep the Shanhaiguan Pass.

"Second brother, you, Brother Zhong, and Jiaojiao are all here, how can I survive in secret? Don't worry, this is the last 2,000 people from Shenzhou, all of whom are willing to resist the enemy and leave it to you for arrangement. ”

Gu Shinian looked at the neat team, and then at Gu Fanghua, who was dressed in noble and gorgeous clothes. Puzzled: "You are dressed up, do you still want to go up to the city wall in person?" ”

"Those who know me, the second brother too."

"Don't you think! Fifth prince, why are you messing around with Mingzhu? There are cold arrows on the wall at any time, and if there is a mistake, how can I explain it to my grandfather? ”

Gu Shinian categorically refused, Gu Fanghua pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "Shanhaiguan is broken, everyone is dead, where do you still need to explain?" If it's not broken, if the rich father-in-law is here, who can hurt me? Besides, Yan Shaoxun, you tell the second brother about our arrangement. ”

Yan Shaoxun's face was pale, he tried his best to keep his speech smooth, brewed his emotions, and said impassionedly.

"Second Brother Gu, I have discussed with Mingzhu that each person will rotate every four hours to motivate the soldiers on the city wall. I, the prince, swear to live and die with them with the most honorable pearl county lord of the Great Zhou. ”

Gu Shinian trembled lightly when he heard this, looked at Gu Fanghua seriously and said, "Mingzhu, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Second brother, I'm not afraid to be with you. What is there to fear from death? ”

Gu Fanghua said lightly, but the seriousness and persistence in the words were unquestionably firm.

Gu Shinian sighed secretly, but there was a sense of pride and ambition in his heart, and he said loudly: "Okay! is worthy of being the daughter of our Gu family, then I will go and tell the soldiers, which of you will go up first? ”

Yan Shaoxun and Gu Fanghua exchanged glances, and Yan Shaoxun spoke: "Second Brother Gu, let's go up together first to make an appearance, motivate everyone, and then arrange according to the situation." ”

"Good!"

Gu Shinian strode back, lined up the people who were preparing to go into battle, and gathered them in the order of recruits and veterans.

"Everyone, pay attention, the Fifth Prince and the Lord of Mingzhu have personally arrived at Shanhaiguan! They will climb the wall with you, cheer you on, and live and die with you! ”

The soldiers who were originally going to change shifts to the city wall were exhausted after this period of wheel warfare.

I heard that for them, the five princes and the lord of the pearl are as noble as the sun and moon in the sky. He was going to fight side by side with himself, and in an instant, he burned like a chicken's blood.

"Master Gu, you didn't lie to us, did you?"

Gu Shinian smiled and pointed to the side, Gu Fanghua, who was dressed beautifully, and Yan Shaoxun, who was handsome and noble, were walking slowly.

"You are all warriors of the Great Zhou, the court will not forget you, and the father will not forget you. When the imperial court reinforcements arrive and hold the Shanhaiguan, I will pay tribute to my father and the emperor, and let you become an official and enter the knighthood, and bless your wife and son! ”

Yan Shaoxun seized the opportunity and instigated with emotion, but found that everyone's eyes did not pay attention to themselves at all, but fell on Gu Fanghua.

How many soldiers have not even seen the ordinary petty officials and their dependents, and now they can see the only pearl county lord of the Great Zhou, how can they not be crazy?

What's more, Gu Fanghua, who came in full costume and was carefully dressed, is definitely worthy of being crowned.

One of them shouted, "Lord Mingzhu, you also want to go up to the city wall?" ”

Gu Fanghua replied loudly with a smile: "Yes, therefore, my safety depends on your protection." You're here, I'm here! ”

"Lord Mingzhu! You can rest assured! We'll protect you! ”

"Lord Mingzhu! You won't die! ”

……

All kinds of voices emerged one after another, all of which expressed their desire to protect the county lord.

Gu Fanghua beckoned with a smile and replied, "Then the five princes and I will go up to the city wall first, and you will come later." I'm up there, waiting for you! ”
