There seem to be more and more enemy troops, it seems that they have to attack tonight, Miss Qian, let's hurry in and discuss with Lord Shao. ”

Xue Yi shot down the cold arrow flying beside her, rushed to Qian Qianqian's side, and anxiously reminded her that her expression was very solemn, and her face was extremely ugly.

Qian Qianqian stared at the scene below, and her heart gradually hung in her throat, she knew very well that even if she went in to discuss with Shao Huaigu at this time, she couldn't discuss anything, in the face of so many enemy troops, what could Shao Huaigu do?

"Let's go down and kill the enemy with Qin Li and Yuan Ying."

Qian Qianqian said categorically, she can't care so much about it now, let's survive tonight first, now that the situation outside is critical, she can't hesitate anymore.

"Miss Qian......"

Xue Yi was uneasy and wanted to step forward to stop Qian Qianqian, but she pushed her away.

"The palace must be guarded, if you are afraid of death, stay here, you can't stop me anyway."

Qian Qianqian's eyes became fierce, her eyes were murderous, her brows were furrowed, and her voice was hoarse.

"How can a slave be afraid of death? But you can't go out, you have to kill the enemy, and the slave goes. ”

Xue Yi was also excited, now the sound of fighting resounded in the sky, and there were even more people coming and going, those soldiers couldn't even save their own lives, where could they take care of Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi?

"It's all now, what else is there to pay attention to, let's go together."

Qian Qianqian is not a timid person, one more person goes out to kill the enemy, the more strength she has, rather than standing here and doing something anxious, it is better to try her best to do something.

Xue Yi couldn't resist Qian Qianqian, and she also knew the importance of guarding the palace, so she quietly slipped out of the side door of the palace with Qian Qianqian.

Qian Qianqian picked up a long sword on the ground, although she had learned taekwondo in modern times, but compared with men who really practiced martial arts, it was still far from it, so it was very difficult to mix in those enemy troops.

Xue Yi has always been by her side, not only killing the enemy, but also protecting her, many of the ministers who were driven out by Shao Huaigu were killed in battle, only a few generals were still holding on, and Qin Li and Yuan Ying were even more red-eyed.

Shao Huaigu was waiting for news in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he learned that Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi had gone out, his heart couldn't help but tense, he knew that Qian Qianqian was not afraid of death, but he didn't expect Qian Qianqian to be so afraid of death, it was completely a matter of life.

In fact, Shao Huaigu is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he didn't have inconvenient legs and feet, he would have gone out to kill the enemy a long time ago, and he wouldn't have stayed here all the time to be in a hurry.

"Lord Shao, it's no good, the reinforcements from the neighboring city were intercepted by the enemy, and now they are all stopped in the middle of the road, and they can't come at all."

At this time, a soldier rushed in from outside, kneeling in front of Shao Huaigu, his body was covered with blood, and there were injuries on his face, and he looked like he had crawled out of the pile of dead people.

"What? How can there be so many enemy troops? ”

Shao Huaigu was very surprised, in his opinion, even if the Li family colluded with Xiao Heng, it should not be possible to transfer so many people, when Xiao Heng left before, there were no troops around him, and the main force was also in southern Xinjiang, there were many enemy troops attacking the city in the past two days, how could anyone go to block the reinforcements from the neighboring cities?

"I don't know about this, but those enemy troops don't seem to be regular troops, like the bandits who rob homes outside, and there seem to be people from the central country inside, who burn and loot as soon as they come up, and take our soldiers by surprise."

The soldier explained one by one, Shao Huaigu understood at this time, it seems that the Li family and Xiao Heng are the thieves who gathered eighty percent of the Xiao country, and they are indeed a group of thieves.

"Go down."

Shao Huaigu waved his hand, his face was gloomy, now it seems that they can't wait for reinforcements, the enemy army has completely blocked their way of life, and they want to attack the palace and catch turtles in an urn.

Many ministers also heard the soldier's words just now, and they were all sincerely afraid, but they didn't dare to speak out, for fear that as soon as they attracted Shao Huaigu's attention, they would be thrown out to kill the enemy.

"Ahem, Master Shao, the matter has come to this point, we have to think of a way."

The emperor leaned on the couch, although he was drinking medicine every day, his condition did not improve significantly, it was not that Jiang Sheng was not dissatisfied, but that the emperor was worried day and night, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, and this disease really couldn't get better.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Weichen will definitely defend the palace to the death."

Shao Huaigu took a step forward, this is the time for him to naturally not be discouraged, but this sentence can be said easily, if you want to do it, it will be difficult.

"Lord Shao, can you take a step to speak?"

Lord Shangshu walked to Shao Huaigu's side, whispered, and glanced at the emperor cautiously, the gray beard on his chin trembled, and the folds on his face deepened.

Shao Huaigu's face did not change, he saluted the emperor, and walked to the corner with Lord Shangshu.

"Lord Shao, since the reinforcements can't come, we have to think of another countermeasure, we are all officials of the imperial court, and we will naturally do our best for Xiao Guo, and we will die, but the emperor is different, if the emperor has three longs and two shorts, even if the palace is kept, it is meaningless, so should we send troops and horses to escort the emperor out of the capital?"

Lord Shangshu cautiously explained, what he said was good, everything was reasonable, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid it's too late.

"You go out and see, the enemy army has surrounded the palace, our soldiers are outside to resist the enemy, stay in the palace for the time being, but once you go out, those enemy troops will immediately pounce on you, if the emperor has a mistake, you will bear the blame?"

Shao Huaigu remained silent, although his heart was anxious, his face was still calm, the emperor was too young to support such a big event, and now that everyone was staring at him, he couldn't retreat.

When Lord Shangshu heard this, his face changed instantly, he naturally couldn't afford this crime, so he didn't dare to speak again.

"Listen, if the palace gate is breached, all of us must protect the emperor, if anyone dares to escape, it is a traitor, and I can't spare him first."

Shao Huaigu knew the virtues of these ministers, so he warned them in advance, so that they could have a number in their hearts, and don't panic and do anything out of the ordinary when the time comes.

"Yes, the subordinate obeys."

Lord Shangshu bowed slightly, swallowed his saliva, and walked out with his head down.

Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi were very hard to support, those enemy troops had already smashed the palace gate to the ground, Yuan Ying and Qin Li were injured in many places, although they couldn't die, they also shed a lot of blood.

"Miss Qian, how are you? Is it okay? ”

Xue Yi killed the enemy in front of her, went over to support Qian Qianqian, and saw that Qian Qianqian's face was not good, as if she was not even standing steadily, so she asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

Qian Qianqian raised her head and glanced at a few corners of the city tower, almost all of the people pushing the stones on it were eunuchs in the palace, although they could barely block it for a while, but it definitely couldn't stop it for long.

Shao Huaigu stood in the Heart Cultivation Palace, with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, everyone could see the worry in his heart, and those ministers also looked at each other, not daring to make the slightest movement.

"Lord Shao, I have thought of an idea, I don't know if it's appropriate?"

The emperor hesitated, his voice was very depressed, he had not been on the throne for a long time, and his prestige in front of the ministers was insufficient, and now it was even more so in front of Shao Huaigu.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Shao Huaigu spoke slowly, there was no superfluous look on his face, so indifferent that people didn't dare to approach.

"It's better to send someone out to negotiate peace with them, they attack the capital for a purpose, if we each take a step back, maybe we can delay for some time, and it can also give us a chance to breathe."

The emperor coughed lightly a few times, and when he talked about this, he seemed to be very ashamed, and he didn't dare to look directly into Shao Huaigu's eyes.

In fact, this Shao Huaigu had thought before, if it weren't for those enemy troops attacking the city too fiercely tonight, he might have sent someone to do it, and now the situation is very clear, if those enemy troops don't capture the palace, they will never stop, and there will be no chance of peace at all.

"Those enemy troops are all tigers and wolves, what's the use of making peace with the beasts? They can't understand people's words, and if we bow our heads at this time, it will only make them more unscrupulous, capture the palace, and drive straight in. ”

Although Shao Huaigu's tone was gentle, it was full of weight, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were sharp.

"So, it doesn't work?"

The emperor slowly raised his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, his face was full of indescribable fear, and he seemed to be powerless, he struggled a few times, but he couldn't get up at all.

"I'm afraid it's useless." Shao Huaigu didn't hide it, just spit out a few words lightly, and countless eyes were cast behind him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shao, it's not good, the enemy army, the enemy army, it's about to break through the palace gate."

A palace man rushed in in a panic, his legs were weak, his body couldn't help but tremble, his face was pale, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What? The enemy is coming in, how can this be good? We, what are we going to do? ”

Those ministers suddenly messed up, looked at each other, eager to huddle together for warmth, and wished that they would flee immediately, and they didn't know the etiquette in front of the emperor.

Shao Huaigu stood in place, his fists clenched even tighter, under the nest, there were no eggs, if this palace was gone, then these people would be no different from the ordinary people outside.

The emperor was also scared, there was a storm outside, and it wasn't much better here, he had no idea at all, so he could only stare at Shao Huaigu and let Shao Huaigu get his idea.

Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi were forced into a corner, and the men who were killed were only two women, so they quickly attracted the attention of the enemy army, and it seemed that these enemy soldiers had to kill them.

Xue Yi has been desperately trying to protect Qian Qianqian, but she and Qian Qianqian are both covered in bruises, although they have not hurt the vital point, but if they continue like this, they will die sooner or later.

"Drive, drive—"

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, and Qian Qianqian's eyes were blurry, and she only knew that she kept waving the long knife in her hand, and she had no time to care about whether the sound of horses' hooves was friend or foe.

Just when Qian Qianqian and Xue Yi couldn't hold it anymore, a large group of men and horses rushed into the enemy army, and the leader killed dozens of enemy soldiers in a row, and the situation eased a lot in an instant.

Xue Yi helped Qian Qianqian, and the two supported each other, and finally came out of the dead end, Qian Qianqian raised her head, and also saw clearly that the person who was the leader was Ling Zi'an.
