The Yan army descended with a rope, sounded the drums, attacked the camp at night, and stirred up the sleeping southern army on his back.

Who would have thought that this trapped beast would dare to stretch out its claws and sneak out of the cage to attack the hunter who had won the game.

Li Jinglong got up from the couch and got out of the tent.

In the night, people roared and neighed, and they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, and the soldiers of the Southern Army who had just woken up from their sleep were disheveled, and some of them didn't even take their weapons, and they were running around. Many tents caught fire, and the raging fire spread rapidly......

"Where is Qu Neng?" He frowned, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the clouds were deep, and he felt a chill to his bones, and he saw that it seemed to be snowing.

"General," Qu Neng strode over, bowed and said, "The Yan army is hanging down and sneaking up on the camp, but there are only a hundred or so people, and there is no threat to disturb the situation. ”

Li Jinglong gathered the crane on his body, "That's fine, the rest ......"

Qu Neng hurriedly said: "The tower has been built seventy or eighty percent, you can go up to the tower before dawn to watch the movement in the city, and the bow and arrow fire gun have also been prepared." The moat has been filled in three percent and should be filled in a few days. The crypt has also been excavated, day and night. ”

Li Jinglong nodded with satisfaction, "Hard work, Lord Qu." Then he turned around and entered the account.

Qu Neng straightened up at this time, and couldn't help sighing, this general is the son of Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and he has nothing to say about reading military books, being talented, and having a graceful demeanor, otherwise he would not be deeply loved by Taizu. But the real battle with the troops is not to move everything from the military book one by one......

The curtain fell behind him, blocking the heavy chill from the outside in an instant, and the gold silk sandalwood stove in the tent was extremely hot, and the ground was covered with a thick snow-colored blanket, and the room was warm.

The woman who was half-kneeling in front of the couch was only wearing a thin spring shirt, the color of Akane red. Hao's wrists are like snow, and his fingers are like green onions, and the Ming Tingxiang in the Boshan furnace is burned.

She turned around when she heard the voice, the color was pressing, but her face was still sleepy, "The general is the ...... hard work" was soft and glutinous, and her eyebrows were lazy.

Li Jinglong took off the crane on his body and put it aside casually. Walked to the fire and stretched out his hand to keep warm, "The north is bitterly cold, but it's not interesting." I guess it's going to snow. ”

The woman took the tea and came closer, and Yingying handed it over, "How can it be as close to the Jinling snow scene as the Qinhuai frost falls......"

He took the teacup, "Dripping water into ice, Jingshi can't look at it." ”

"Really?" She was excited, "Dripping into ice, it sounds very interesting......

Outside the tent, the rumbling of drums in the distance began again, and for a moment the noise of people and the neighing of horses interrupted her words.

Seeing her frightened face, he stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, "The noise outside is nothing but the struggle of the trapped beast, with me protecting you, why be afraid?" ”

Seeing that his expression was light and indifferent, he gradually relaxed, and his eyes turned with a smile, "I am not afraid to be in the same place with the general." ”

Li Jinglong's heart fluttered, and in his ears was the sonorous sound of swords and war horses in the cold land, but in front of him was the most beautiful spring, if this scene was not the pleasure of the world, what could it be?

He leaned close to her cheek and said in a dumb voice, "How many times have you said it, how should you call me when it's just you and me?" ”

His face became more and more shy, and his lips pursed lightly a few times before he whispered: "Jiujiang ......"

Seeing this color, Li Jinglong couldn't help himself, put down the tea cup in his hand, and took her away, but overheard her whisper, "Wait...... Don't hurt Feng'er......"

He was stunned for a moment, and the hand that grabbed her soft chin paused there, "Feng'er? ”

The corners of Xirong's lips rose, "Jiujiang didn't realize that Xirong's hairpin ring is a little different today?" ”

His gaze fell on her cloud-like black hair, and a golden hairpin was pinned to it, and at one end of the golden hairpin was a bird the size of a finger. The crown is like a phoenix, and the wings are colorful and gorgeous.

Li Jinglong stretched out his hand, and the bird's black eyes turned, and it actually spread its wings and flew up, and it swirled and landed in his palm for a moment.

"Tong Huafeng......" he said, "you actually brought it with you." ”

Xirong pursed his lips and smiled: "Xirong's name is also derived from it, Meisi bird like mandarin duck, specifically slightly Xi Rong Sedan." The concubine was worried about the hard work of the Jiujiang expedition, so she deliberately brought it to relieve her fatigue......"

The bird seemed to understand, and obediently rubbed its fluffy head between his fingers, chirping a few times, tactfully and intoxicatingly.

"This one was found by me Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, and this time Qu Neng's subordinates brought it from Shu." Li Jinglong teased that Feng'er, "However, the north is very cold, and there is no flower dew, how can it live?" ”

Xi Rong took out a delicate small cage from his sleeve, "The concubine specially found a skillful craftsman to make this warm cage, and the cage is as warm as spring." You see, the carved paulownia flowers inside are lifelike. I put the tung flower honeydew on it, Feng'er likes it......"

He put the tung flower phoenix back in the cage and took her into his arms again, "I have this interpretation flower, and I have the Meisi bird, this battle will be a great victory......"

The first snow fell outside the big tent, the beacon fire was chaotic, and the swords were stained with blood.

The candles in the tent were extinguished, and only one room was warm.

……

Tong dawned and knew that the situation should be getting worse and worse.

In the past few days, the southern army attacked the city at sunrise every day, the moat has been filled, the ladder is burned, the city gate is burned, and the stone is thrown...... Do whatever it takes. The newly erected towers outside the city walls can constantly spy on the movement of the city, and they can directly attack the guards on the city tower with firearms and crossbows.

Although the defenders of Beiping swore to defend to the death, their numbers were at a disadvantage after all, and their numbers were decreasing every day......

Even so, the prince and Princess Yan visited the Nine Gates every day to discuss strategies with the generals. At night, he visited people's homes to comfort the wounded and the elderly.

Therefore, in spite of the dire situation, there was no chaos in the city, and there was no troublemaker. The people even took the initiative to tear down the beams and roof tiles of their houses and send them to the city wall to help defend the city.

Yanyin is much better and can already get up and walk. Once she could go to the ground, she was busy taking care of Princess Yan and the prince, and she also dragged Tong Fu together.

Every time she saw the water pearl on Princess Yan's bracers, Tong Fu had the idea of stealing it. She now felt that she could only leave here if she got the water pearl. But watching Princess Yan patrol the city day and night, pacify, and prepare for war, she really couldn't do it.

What's more, Princess Yan treats herself very well. Even if she was so busy that she didn't even have time to sleep, whenever she met herself, she would ask herself how she was doing, and tell herself not to go up to the city tower easily...... and ordered a thick coat to be brought.

When he got the gorgeous robe, Tong Fu was stunned, this look is something rewarded by the palace. The maid who sent it hurriedly said: "The princess said that the girl is from the south, and she will not be able to stand the cold in the north." She couldn't get used to wearing these, so she gave them to the girl to keep her warm......"

"And ......," the maid took out a bottle of plaster, "the princess instructed, now that it is snowing outside, the weather is cold, and the hands and feet are prone to frostbite." The girl applies it to her hands and feet every day to prevent ......"

Tong Fu's heart is warm, since his mother left, no one seems to care so much about himself.

As for escaping, let's put it down for now......

A sudden roar from outside interrupted Kirip's thoughts, "Oh no! The southern army stormed Zhangye Gate and couldn't hold it! Broken city......"
