Palace. The Emperor's Bedchamber.

Duan Shuqing stood on the corridor, staring at the sky to the north. There was nothing but the dreary night. The confidant palace maid stepped forward and asked softly, "Does the emperor want to use some snacks?" Dinner didn't go much either. ”

Duan Shuqing replied to the question: "They are all in Qinzhou now." ”

The palace maid knew that she was in Yue Tang, Ke Zhao, and Xi Jingxuan, so she responded: "Yes, everything is as the emperor expected." ”

Duan Shuqing didn't know what the expression was on his face, and there was an inexplicable sad smile in his tone: "If he knows, he will definitely hate me." ”

This palace maid has followed her for many years, and knew that she was Yue Bai, so she comforted: "No, he only has you in his heart, and he has always been considerate and understanding, not to mention that you have arranged to save General Guiying's life?" ”

Duan Shuqing lightly hooked his lips: "What if there are zero mistakes in the arrangement?" ”

Palace maid: "That's the meaning, that is, what the emperor should get." ”

Duan Shuqing was slightly stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that only you will tolerate me like this, even Yue Bai can't do it." ”

Palace maid: "The slave doesn't dare, it's just telling the truth." ”

Duan Shuqing sighed lightly, and then looked at the north: "You, if Tang'er knew that all this was arranged by me, what would she do?" ”

Palace maid: "No matter what you do, you can't escape from Qinzhou." ”

Duan Shuqing: "Yes." She sighed again, "It's just that Tang'er has always changed a lot of opportunities, and I really can't rest assured." ”

Palace maid: "There is Lord Hong, make sure nothing goes wrong." ”

Duan Shuqing smiled: "In this world, what is foolproof? ”

The palace maid paused and said, "It is absolutely impossible for Lord Hong to give up everything you promised, not to mention that his family is still in Jingzheng."

Duan Shuqing seemed to acquiesce, but sighed in a low voice: "I thought that I could make people sincerely surrender to the combination of grace and might, but in the end, it was still the most effective threat......

The palace maid heard clearly, but there was nothing, just quietly accompanied.

"There's no real heart there...... No more......"

Brother's words echoed in his ears again, and this time, Duan Shuqing didn't have any intention of refutating.

On the way to Qinzhou.

A man and a horse galloped on the remote road, the man was suddenly shot down by an arrow and rolled off the horse, and the person who had an ambush stepped forward to mend the knife and killed it completely, turned out the letter carried by the dead man, and immediately went to Qinzhou City Tower to sneak into the school

Another carrier pigeon flew by, and it was also shot down and killed, and the letterhead on the pigeon's leg was taken off and immediately dived to Qinzhou City Tower

Inside the Qinzhou City Tower.

Cheng Li looked at the two letters, both of which were the same message-

Leave Qinzhou quickly, cut it!

has no head or tail, I don't know who sent it to whom, but Cheng Li knew that it was a warning sent by Yue Bai to Yue Tang's poem.

Cheng Li burned two letters, smiled, and instructed the soldiers: "General Guiying is not coming in?" We'll have to invite her in. ”

Outside the city, General Guiying is stationed.

Yue Tang watched the city tower catch fire from a distance, and faintly heard a hoarse shout. The people sent to investigate came to report that there was a fire in the city for some reason, and now that the soldiers were busy fighting the fire, it was a good time to take it.

Yue Tang frowned, feeling that this timing was too good for the rain. At this time, Hong Ding, who had been following her but no longer talked, stepped forward and said, "General, I'm afraid there is fraud, and I can't go." ”

Yue Tang smiled slightly: "I want to go like this." ”

There seemed to be embarrassment flashing in Hong Ding's eyes, and he still insisted: "The timing is too good, it should be a trap." It is unusual for us to have been stationed here for three days without receiving a message from General Yue Bai. ”

Yue Tang agrees with this.

Before opening Qinzhou, she had received Yue Bai's flying pigeon message, and the two agreed to send a message at least twice, but now three days have passed, and I am afraid that the message has been intercepted.

Yue Tang looked at the fire in the distance again, and said with a smile: "Go, add more fire, burn it clean and we will enter the city again." ”

It wasn't long before I saw a rain of arrows with the light of the fire shooting into the city, and for a moment the shouts seemed to be louder and the flames were more violent. Yue Tang frowned and stared at it for a while, and suddenly ordered: "Order, all the trebuchets will pounce!" Make up for the oil oil! You are not allowed to enter the city without my orders! ”

"Yes!"

Hong Ding stood behind Yue Tang's side and looked at the female general who had made a quick decision, remembering the slight panic that flashed in her eyes when she faced this raging fire for the first time. At that time, he stood in front of her, and he didn't have to be afraid of her, she was stiff-mouthed and not afraid, but she stood slightly closer to him.

And now, she no longer needs any yphylaxis in front of her, or perhaps, there is someone else who is qualified to stand in front of her.

Hong Ding took a half step forward and lowered his head and asked, "General, do you want to check the situation in the city?" ”

Yue Tang still looked at the firelight in front of him and chuckled, "What is there in the city that attracts Lord Hong?" ”

Hong Ding's heart tingled slightly, and his voice was still calm: "I'm just worried about changes in the city, just in case." ”

Yue Tang: "Then let's go, otherwise you have to find other excuses, how tired you are." ”

Hong Ding raised his eyes to look at her: "The general already doesn't trust me so much, why did he bring me to Qinzhou with him?" ”

Yue Tang showed no mercy: "Second brother asked me to bring you, and I will give him a face." You won't hurt me - I don't know why he's so sure, but I've decided to believe him and give it a try. She scoffed, "I don't believe I can be killed by you." ”

Hong Ding's face was gloomy, and he said, "The general doesn't believe me, but General Yue Bai believes me...... But I also did my own wrong. He clasped his fists and saluted, "My subordinates will take people to check the situation in the city, go and return quickly." ”

Yue Tang nodded, still not looking back at him.

Inside the city of Qinzhou.

In the hidden place of the street in the city, Cheng Li looked at the rain of fire and boulders that were still falling, listening to the screams one after another and the roar of the collapse and destruction of the walled house, his eyes were heavy and he frowned. A soldier came to report the news, his eyes lit up slightly, and soon he saw a person walking towards him, it was Hong Ding.

Although Cheng Li was still frowning, his tone was smiling: "Did you come in early?" ”

Hong Ding: "Are there many casualties?" ”

Cheng Li: "Less than half." ”

Hong Ding: "You didn't hurt those things, did you?" ”

Cheng Li: "Naturally there are no cherries"

Hong Ding: "Withdraw successively, General Guiying will not enter the city for the time being." ”

Cheng Li: "It's a smart woman." You come in and she doesn't suspect? ”

Hong Ding: "She was suspicious, but I came anyway." Let's tell you not to waste manpower, so as not to delay the most important things. ”

Cheng Li thought for a moment: "Then how to lure her into the city?" ”

Hong Ding: "Ke Zhaozi will bring her in." ”

Cheng Li: "Does she believe in Ke Zhao? ”

Hong Ding: "Right now, it's faith." Coupled with the fact that I bring another message back to her, she will naturally believe more. He approached half a step, "Now what you have to do is to rout." ”
