Chapter 228: Dead
The left wing looked at the gate of Fengqiu Kingdom, far away, the little queen mother was small and short, and she really couldn't see it clearly, but as the king said, even though this little queen mother was small and short, she still had such a big ability, that body was small, her age was young, and she didn't have a lot of heart at all.
The left wing retracted his gaze and said to Qu Shang, "She's waiting for you to pass." “
Qu Shang didn't move, only raised his head to look at the sky, and said, "She's not waiting for me to pass, she's waiting for the locust to break out." “
The left wing also raised his head to look at the sky, and said with a smile: "Well, the locust service is indeed coming. “
Qu Shang lowered his eyes, slowly touched the saber on his waist, and said in a lukewarm tone: "The little queen mother is indeed shrewd and capable, she is a rare genius, only thirteen years old, she seems to know astronomy and geography, she can calculate anything, if she is a man, she will definitely be the overlord of the male side, but helplessly, she was born as a daughter." Since she is a woman, she should stay in the boudoir separately and teach her husband and children. Play the piano and paint, instead of running to the bloody battlefield to point out life and death. She is waiting for this locust service, she wants to use this locust service to deal with us, but how can she think that this locust service can deal with us, the country located in the south, no matter which country, has a very deep understanding of locust service, and this kind of cognition is far more than she knows, even if we do not have a complete cure, but how can there be no way to deal with it? After all, we are the ones who have really dealt with locusts for so many years, even if she is extremely smart, has read thousands of articles, and studied for many years, but we do not know the roots. I will let her know that what she is waiting for is not the Fengqiu Locust Servant, but the fall of her Empress Dowager Dayin. “
After Qu Shang said this, his eyes became gloomy, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up an extremely cold arc.
He slowly took away the hand pressed on the saber, and confronted Nie Qingwan in silence, although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, Qu Shang knew that the woman was looking at him.
Qu Shang chuckled slowly, if she was not the wife of Emperor Yinzu, if she was not the Empress Dowager Yin, if she was not so vicious, he could spoil her, love her and even tolerate her.
But she's good-looking. Oh, she looks good and listens to others, he really hasn't seen it, and he doesn't know what kind of style the legendary celestial and human posture is, even if it really is a disaster for the country and the people, but she occupies three identities that he can't tolerate, and he really can't enjoy her celestial demeanor.
If he is captured, it is just a tool to humiliate Da Yin and control Da Yin.
Nie Qingwan's side suffered a night attack, and Yin Xuan and Yin Tianye, who led the troops out to conquer the Five Kingdoms, as well as Nie Xifeng and Nie Buwei and Chen Wenqi, also encountered a common night attack.
Yin Xuan led the troops to Nanfeng Kingdom, because Nanfeng Country is the most powerful country among the five countries, Yin Xuan holds the Sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and he must shoulder such a strong country, Nie Xifeng led the troops to the Kingdom of An, and Nie Buwei led the troops to the Yang Kingdom. Yin Tianye led the troops to Jinzhi Kingdom, Chen Wen led the troops to Xianguo, everyone brought the same soldiers, about 20,000, and everyone had a deputy general by their side.
After the division of troops, they did not encounter any attacks from unknown troops along the way, but after the five forces dispersed into the territory of the country where they were going to attack, they were subjected to a powerful night attack.
It is said that it is a night attack, but it is better to say that it is an ambush, and it is attacked inside and outside.
Yin Xuan only brought 20,000 soldiers, and there were 30,000 soldiers in Nanfeng Kingdom, which was the country with the largest number of troops among small countries, plus there were masters like Qu Shang behind him who secretly laid out and planned to plan, as early as when Nie Qingwan and they stepped into Fengqiu, another country in the south conspired with Qu Shang when they saw that they were weak but strong leaving the country.
Qu Shang formulated a perfect and flawless plan to capture the Empress Dowager Dayin, hunt down and kill the soldiers of Dayin, and grab the sword of the Son of Heaven, to say that Nie Qingwan can penetrate the hearts of the people, Qu Shang can also, and not lose to her at all, just when Nie Qingwan led the troops to Fengqiu, Qu Shang knew that this Empress Dowager Yin wanted to use locusts to make trouble, so when the monarch of Fengqiu sent a signal for help to the surrounding small countries, Qu Shang did not let the soldiers leave the country to borrow troops, and the soldiers who left the country were dark lines, which were used to ambush the enemy, and could not be placed on the surface, therefore, There was a situation in which five other countries borrowed troops.
And instigating the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms to set fire to the palace where Nie Qingwan lived was also done by Qu Shang, what was the purpose of doing this? Of course, it would be great if the Queen Mother could really be burned, but if she couldn't burn to death, then she would naturally send Nanlinfeng and them to Fengqiu.
What do you do when you send it to Toyogaoka? Rebelled against Ren Teng.
A monarch may not be able to rebel against Ren Teng, but five monarchs together, Ren Teng will definitely be shaken, once Ren Teng is shaken, then Fengqiu from the courtiers to the people will become the thorn in the back of the little queen mother, so the little queen mother will face the danger of being attacked before and after.
And in such a situation, the little queen mother can't get out of trouble, and the five young generals who sent troops to conquer the five countries can't come back to save the scene, so the little queen mother will be in danger in this game.
Of course, Qu Shang didn't expect this little queen mother to be so ruthless, and she unceremoniously killed Nan Linfeng and others.
At this moment, Qu Shang didn't know that Nan Linfeng and they were dead, and the old god of Qu Shang was waiting on the ground, waiting for his triumph, waiting for the fall of this Empress Dowager Yin.
Nie Qingwan stood on the city gate, as the time of the locust outbreak was getting closer and closer, her hands hanging on her sides were getting tighter and tighter, she gently lowered her eyes, looking at the enemy troops under the city gate who were either dead or wounded or still continuing to attack, and then glanced at the vague shadow that was silent and motionless in the distance, for a moment, she seemed to sense the danger signal, she immediately shouted: "Feng Chang!" “
Feng Chang turned around and replied to her in a dull voice: "Queen Mother." “
Nie Qingwan said: "You take 5,000 soldiers out, quickly destroy these feints at the city gate, and kill the real ambush army behind." “
Feng Chang was stunned for a moment, glanced into the distance, and said, "Does the Queen Mother mean that the person on the horse has other soldiers?" “
Nie Qingwan said, "Well, you go quickly." “
Nie Qingwan was a little uneasy at this time, and where these uneasiness came from, she couldn't say it herself, but looking at the person in the distance standing there motionless, the attacking enemy troops below seemed to be a little weird, their force to hit the city gate seemed to be mechanical, it looked very fierce, but it couldn't be hit for a long time, the city gate was naturally defended by Da Yin soldiers, once the enemy army entered the city, they would face the death line. Nie Qingwan was not afraid that they would break through the city gate, but it seemed that they didn't want to break through the city gate, but just made such an action to contain the Da Yin soldiers above the city gate or even at the city gate.
Why?
It can only be understood that these people and even the people behind the scenes in the distance are waiting.
What are you waiting for?
Waiting for the gates to be breached, or like her, waiting for a locust outbreak?
Nie Qingwan's heart sank, and urged Feng Chang to act quickly, transfer the soldiers on the city gate, and leave a thousand people alone to meet the enemy to prevent the enemy from attacking.
Feng Chang saw that her face was not good-looking, and he also knew that the battle situation was tense, so he immediately complied with it, and went down with the troops.
And seeing that Feng Chang led the troops to move, the left wing secretly said "not good", and he said to Qu Shang: "The little queen mother won't have guessed the king's plan, right?" “
Qu Shang squinted, although he was far away and couldn't see the faces of the people clearly, but the flow of soldiers above the city gate was still visible, and seeing that Feng Chang really led the soldiers down the city gate, he said coldly: "Those soldiers are not Feng Chang's opponents, let them retreat quickly." “
The left wing quickly answered yes, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and was about to rush forward.
However, it was too late.
As soon as he rode his horse and set off, the city gate was suddenly opened, and then the soldiers of Dayin rushed out under the leadership of Feng Chang, those soldiers who used ox carts to attack in front were indeed not Feng Chang's opponents, they were just professional grooms, but not professional soldiers, give them an ox cart, they can play their greatest strengths, but to fight against the soldiers of Dayin, it is completely useless.
Almost in the blink of an eye, those people were left without a piece of armor left behind.
Qu Shang pursed his lips, his eyes staring coldly at the coachmen he had spent years training dying under the butcher's knife one by one, he clenched the reins of the horse fiercely, and a murderous aura rose in his eyes.
The left wing knew that he could not pass at this time, so he had to retreat again, and when he saw Qu Shang's extremely gloomy face, he said: "The locust service is coming. “
Qu Shang said in a cold voice: "Let the rear wing prepare." He looked up at the short figure above the city gate again, and said with a sneer: "I was worried about hurting her, but now I don't have to worry." Seeing that the battle of the city gate was about to end, and Feng Chang was about to lead the troops to attack, he sneered again: "This time it was just right." “
At the most dim alternating moment of the twelfth hour, the locust outbreak broke out, and the entire Fengqiu was filled with black pressure and locust devouring, but fortunately, the locusts did not devour people, they only devoured the crops and fields, and after devouring, they would leave and go to the next country, so what Nie Qingwan used was nothing more than the locust's activity track, as Qu Shang said, this little queen mother is a person who can know astronomy and geography, she is smart and alarming, in order to prevent locusts from ravaging Fengqiu's crops and fields, Nie Qingwan had long asked Nie Zong to take the Fengqiu soldiers and the people of Fengqiu to make poison against locusts, and use poison to force back locusts, this method Fengqiu naturally tried, but the effect was not very good, because their ability was limited, and the collection of medicine was also limited, but this time Nie Qingwan came prepared, and brought Nie Zong, and the herbs were naturally very sufficient, so with the help of so many people, it was easy to cover all the crops and fields with poison, which could force back the locusts, but would not damage the crops. Therefore, when the locusts flew into the crops and fields, and were restrained by these poisons, they were forced to retreat, and they came to the city gates.
As soon as he saw the outbreak of locusts, Feng Chang quickly retreated, and the leading troops turned around and rushed back, but it was too late, when they turned around and returned halfway, they heard a sound of breaking the air in mid-air, and then a raging fire passed through the head, colliding directly with the oncoming locusts.
Feng Chang and the soldiers all looked up.
Feng Chang knew Nie Qingwan's plan, and when the locusts rushed out of the city gate, the Da Yin soldiers above the city gate would release oil rockets and explode these locusts, using them as offensive bombs to repel the enemy army, this method was excellent, but at this moment, the enemy also used this method, it was very bad and bad.
And the method used by the enemy is far more clever than the queen mother, the oil rockets from the two sides of the air collided, bursting out very fierce sparks, one side of the oil rocket did not carry a net, but the oil rocket of one side brought a large net, those nets do not know what to use, in case of fire do not burn, and because of this net, those locusts that flew towards them were all swept back, with a piercing and sharp sound of insects whistling overhead, smashed straight to the top of the Da Yin soldiers, smashed to the top of his head, smashed to the precarious city gate, Soldiers smashed above the city gates.
Feng Chang has indeed experienced many battles, but none of them are so thrilling.
The power of oil rockets is very great, Fengqiu does not have such powerful weapons, these oil rockets are all brought from the capital of the Great Yin Emperor, but the enemy actually has such a powerful oil rocket and also hangs a large net on the arrow, which shows that this person should also have a deep relationship with the Great Yin, because the oil rocket is the most secret weapon developed by the kings of the Great Yin royal family in the wars from generation to generation.
But this person can actually make oil rockets, and he has also carried out reforms.
Feng Chang didn't have time to think about it, when the surging fire was accompanied by a large net and countless struggles roaring locusts that were terrible to death smashed at him, he immediately drew the sword at his waist, quickly pushed away the soldiers around him with his arm, slashed down with a sword, and poured it into the middle of the road, forming a powerful air current, slashing the net, the arrow and the black pressure locusts all towards the open space on the opposite side, the moment the oil rocket landed, the fire took off, and was crushed by the corpse of the locust in an instant.
Looking back at the soldiers of Dayin, although they are well-trained, their psychological quality is high enough, and they are able to cope with emergencies enough, they still suffered a lot of casualties in the face of this raging and roaring oil rocket.
Feng Chang shouted loudly: "Withdraw from the locust range!" Fast! “
These words have just fallen. The white light flashed in front of him, and almost in the blink of an eye, a sharp sword aura came to him, because he was worried about the soldiers around him, he was distracted, and it was too late to hide, Feng Chang's black eyes shrank fiercely, and before the brain gave the order, his body had already instinctively given birth to a movement that quickly dodged when encountering danger, and the sword qi went down from his forehead and hit his shoulder, and the blood overflowed in an instant, and it was even more crimson in the cold moonlight.
He didn't care, just looked at the enemy who suddenly appeared.
The man was holding a sword. Standing two hundred meters away from him, he said to him: "He is worthy of being the youngest and promising general under the command of Emperor Yin Zu, and if you are an ordinary person, you are already a dead person at this time." “
Feng Chang narrowed his eyes: "Report your name." “
The man said, "Right wing." “
Feng Chang said: "Very good, know who I am, then you should also know that I hate others to sneak attack the most!" Especially sneak up on my face! “
As he spoke, his figure flashed, and the right wing didn't see how he acted at all, so he felt a sudden pain in his shoulder, and when he looked down, he was injured by a sword in the same place.
The right wing was angry, and the sword slashed towards Feng Chang, and the two were inseparable.
On the city gate, Nie Qingwan looked at the unexpected oil rocket in mid-air and the net carried on the oil rocket, and saw that the Da Yin soldiers below had strayed into the trap, desperately shouting to break free from death row, but were entangled in a fierce battle by the swarming enemy army, and her eyebrows sank fiercely.
Oil rockets can still be used in this way.
Nie Qingwan stood at the city gate and did not move, even if the enemy's oil rockets smashed around with a sharp and miserable insect scream, she didn't move, the soldiers around her had been ordered by her to go down, and those oil rockets were not smashed by her, but by the city wall, and not by the part where she was standing.
So, wasn't that person going to hurt her?
Nie Yin and Ren Ji were very anxious and persuaded her to leave quickly, but Nie Qingwan did not move. She just looked at the battlefield, then at the person behind the curtain who came through the battlefield on horseback, and whispered, "Ren Ji, go to war." “
Ren Ji was stunned for a moment, his face was as heavy as his voice: "Queen Mother, I can't leave you at this time." “
Nie Qingwan said: "Don't worry, if he wants to capture me alive, he won't hurt me, you just go." “
Ren Ji had no choice but to go, he also wanted to know who could use the oil rockets of the Great Yin Empire.
Qu Shang drove forward, but he didn't enter the battle circle, the locust outbreak has not yet ended, he naturally can't go over, but when he saw Ren Ji leaving the city gate, he hooked his lips and sneered, the left wing is not Ren Ji's opponent, and sending the left wing in the past is purely to send him to death, so it's good to add him.
With him joining forces with the left wing, then he will definitely be able to defeat or even kill this lackey around Emperor Yin Zu.
Qu Shang rushed to the left and said, "Fight." “
The left wing whispered yes and took the lead in riding to meet Ren Ji.
Qu Shang and the left wing are both riding horses, but Ren Ji does not, this itself is a bit of a gap, and now it is a pair of two, or against two very powerful opponents, naturally it cannot have the upper hand, but Ren Ji can see this person's face clearly.
Seeing that Ren Ji gradually fell into the disadvantage with one enemy and two enemies. Nie Yin's eyes narrowed, and he said to Nie Qingwan, "I'll help Ren Ji." “
Nie Qingwan said, "Go ahead." “
Nie Yin said, "You should be careful alone. “
Nie Qingwan said, "Hmm. “
After Nie Yin also joined the battle, Qu Shang and the left wing were not opponents, even if these two were also very powerful, but Ren Ji was not an ordinary person, and Nie Yin was not an ordinary person, Qu Shang retreated sharply, looked up at Nie Qingwan on the opposite side, and the corners of her mouth hooked a strange arc, did she feel that the front was a battlefield and the rear was her own people?
Scold.
Nie Qingwan really didn't worry about the rear, because there were Da Yin soldiers in the rear, Nan Linfeng and other monarchs of the Five Kingdoms had already been executed in the palace, Nie Qingwan's ruthlessness was that she never hesitated, she wouldn't let him live a moment longer, no matter what kind of calculations Qu Shang made, it was useless.
Indeed, Ren Teng was not rebelled, because he had no chance of being rebelled.
In addition, Ren Teng had participated in the meeting between Nie Qingwan and his henchmen before, and he had already put himself under the henchmen of the Empress Dowager Dayin, so how could he be rebelled?
He didn't, but his concubines and children weren't necessarily so ambitious.
Nan Linfeng can emerge as a big country monarch in the south, naturally has his cleverness and excellence, he as early as the days when he entered the Fengqiu Palace and was trapped in the days secretly let people bribe Ren Teng's concubines and children, they are all southern countries, and neighboring countries, usually have a good relationship, Ren Teng's wife and children are what kind of people, Nan Linfeng naturally knows, which people can be easily bought, which people can't, Nan Linfeng also knows.
Therefore, the fire in the backyard does not necessarily have to be Ren Teng himself, but also his concubines and children.
The good thing about this bribery is that women will always be the most powerful, vain, and self-righteous people in the world, and they look up from one mountain to another.
Ren Teng is the king of a country, even if Fengqiu is a small country, but as the king of a country, he will not have fewer concubines, and there are naturally young and beautiful.
Nan Linfeng instigated one of the most beautiful, ambitious, and restless concubines, and asked her to blow the pillow wind to Ren Teng, and if she couldn't blow it, then steal his talisman and kill him again.
Of course, there must be a great temptation to do such a dangerous thing, otherwise who would do it?
What is the lure given by Nan Linfeng?
Of course, it is the most greedy and desired thing of this concubine, the queen of a country, whose queen? Naturally, it is a koji merchant.
Nan Linfeng analyzed the pros and cons to this concubine, even if Ren Teng lived, she would no longer be a king in the future, and she would not be able to give her the life she wanted, unless she just wanted to live as a concubine in the future, otherwise she would have to change the status quo.
Qu Shang is the most powerful king in a small country, as long as he captures the Empress Dowager Dayin, kills the crown prince, and gets the sword of the Son of Heaven, then Qu Shang is the real king of this continent.
She's now helping Qu Shang. That is to build a great achievement, even if it is not sealed, her life in the future is unpredictable.
Under the dual effect of money and temptation, the concubine agreed.
So Ren Teng was killed, the soldier talisman fell into the hands of others, the Fengqiu harem was reshuffled, and when Qi Yu rushed to Ren Teng's corpse, it was too late.
He reacted quickly and forcibly suppressed the entire Fengqiu Imperial Palace by force.
But it was too late, someone had already run out, and took Ren Teng's blood letter to tell the people of Fengqiu how brutal the soldiers of Da Yin were, and how hypocritical the Empress Dowager Da Yin was. said that the Empress Dowager Dayin did not come to solve the locust service for the people of Fengqiu, she just came to use them, and after using them, she would kill them, and their king is a bloody example.
A stone stirs up a thousand waves, a mouse feces hurts a pot of porridge, the people of Fengqiu naturally can't sleep this night, the war outside the city is in full swing, the city is tense and cold, although there is no gunsmoke, but everywhere is filled with gunpowder smoke, how can anyone sleep in such an environment?
Can't sleep.
Therefore, when the news of the king's murder came, there were first voices of deportation in the crowd, and then there were more and more voices. I don't know who led the way and said to rush into the palace to take a look, so the people rushed to the palace in a swarm.
If it was an ordinary moment, Qi Yu would naturally not stop them, but when is it? There was a sudden change in the palace, and he was investigating closely, how could he let these people make trouble?
Therefore, send troops to explain, explain that after it doesn't work, Qi Yu will directly send troops to suppress it, at this time he has no time to waste with these people, the queen mother only said that it is not allowed to hurt people, but she did not say that it is not allowed to drive people, this is not wrong, and the approach is also right. But the mistake is that the time and place are favorable, and the enemy is one step ahead.
The people were suppressed by the soldiers of Dayin, and their emotions immediately rebounded, and they rushed in regardless of the blockage of the soldiers of Dayin, and rushed in without their lives, of course, most of them were instigated by others, but how could the stupid people think so much, they rushed to the palace one by one.
couldn't stop it, but it couldn't let them in to do bad things, and it couldn't hurt people, so Qi Yu asked the soldiers to arrest people and lock them up first, which caused a riot among the people of Quanfengqiu.
The consequence of the rebellion was that the 5,000 Dayin soldiers led by Qi Lu were trapped in the palace, and the Fengqiu soldiers and people who were rebelled rushed to the city gate and captured the queen mother alive.
After Yin Xuan, Yin Tianye, Nie Xifeng, Nie Buwei, and Chen Wenqi left, the soldiers left by Fengqiu were only 20,000 of Fengchang, 5,000 in the palace, another 5,000 in the hands of Ren Ji, and another 10,000 in the hands of Fengchang, after the start of the war, all 15,000 soldiers went to war, at this moment Ren Ji was not by Nie Qingwan's side, Nie Yin was not there, and there were only two or three hundred Dayin soldiers guarding Nie Qingwan's side, and most of them were under the city, because standing in the city would be injured by the other party's oil rocket with a net, although he retreated from the city, But they still stuck at the city gate to protect Nie Qingwan.
These two or three hundred soldiers are all under the banner of Fengchang, naturally not general, in the face of Fengqiu soldiers they can show their swords, but in the face of those unarmed people, they can't kill at all, when Fengqiu soldiers mixed with these people and rushed to the city gate, you can imagine what kind of picture it is.
The riot below was fierce, and the battle situation ahead was very fierce, Nie Qingwan turned her head and watched the Fengqiu soldiers who broke free from the Da Yin soldiers and rushed up at her with their swords.
Just when those people were about to rush up, she coldly rushed to the soldiers of Dayin who were still entangled by the people of Fengqiu and said: "Don't show mercy to your subordinates anymore, don't leave any of them, kill them all." “
With her order, the soldiers no longer cared about it, and their hands fell with their swords, whether it was the soldiers of Fengqiu or the innocent people of Fengqiu, all of them became the souls of the soldiers of Da Yin.
The Fengqiu soldiers who were about to rush close to Nie Qingwan were also hacked to death by the Da Yin soldiers who rushed up.
Rivers of blood flowed and wailed from inside the city to the outside, and the locusts above them wailed under the elaborate oil rockets, accompanied by fire, and the sky was lit up with fire.
Nie Qingwan smelled the pungent blood around her, her eyelids didn't blink, she just raised her head slightly, looked at the moon hanging in the sky, slowly, she lowered her head again, and rushed down word by word: "Don't leave a living mouth, kill them all." “
Her voice was very loud, blowing under the bloody wind and rain, Feng Chang heard it, the soldiers of Dayin heard it, Ren Ji heard it, Nie Yin heard it, all the soldiers were in high spirits, and the shouting and killing sound was unprecedented.
Qu Shang squinted, rode his horse steeply, exited the killing circle, and in the blink of an eye, he sideways took out an oil rocket from the quiver under the saddle, lit it, aimed it at the woman above the city gate, and shot it violently.
Ren Ji was shocked, Nie Yin was shocked, Feng Chang was shocked, and all the Da Yin soldiers shouted in panic --
"Queen Mother!"
That day, thirteen-year-old Nie Qingwan stood on top of the low and broken city wall, looking at the oncoming oil rockets, and for the first time clearly felt what death was.
