Chapter 511: Hold on
General Xiao has hundreds of thousands of troops around him, and there is good news coming back a few days ago, so it should be fine, much better than our current situation. ”
Shao Huaigu lifted his thin lips lightly, Qian Qianqian finally felt better when she heard this, it seems that Fankong is right, she blocked the disaster for Xiao Mohan, and Xiao Mohan will be able to go smoothly.
"Does he know where we are now?"
Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart, and couldn't help asking, she didn't want Xiao Mohan to know, but she also hoped that Xiao Mohan would know, so when the disaster came, Xiao Mohan would suddenly appear, just like before, to save her life.
"I blocked the news, as long as we are in the capital, this news will not reach the frontier, if we leave, the news will spread immediately."
Shao Huaigu knew in his heart that the current war on the frontier was anxious, and the Li family colluded with Xiao Heng, maybe it was to distract Xiao Mohan's attention, so he would not let the traitor succeed.
"You're doing it right, you're thinking it through, and you should."
Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and kept nodding, what Shao Huaigu did was also what she thought in her heart, as long as Xiao Mohan was safe, then she would be dead and at ease.
Shao Huaigu led Qian Qianqian to look elsewhere, and it was indeed arranged just right, so that Qian Qianqian couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
"Lord Shao, have you read a lot of military books?"
Qian Qianqian looked at Shao Huaigu's actions, and was very curious in her heart, these deployments were indeed very ingenious, if it was Xiao Mohan's arrangement, she would not be surprised at all, but Shao Huaigu could still arrange it like this without fighting, it was indeed rare.
"I'm a civil official, so naturally I read everything, and I used to read a lot when I had nothing to do before, so it's okay to read military books or something."
Shao Huaigu's face did not change, and he said lightly, which was also expected by Qian Qianqian, it seemed that Shao Huaigu was going to flee before, but it was really helpless.
"If you don't have bad legs and feet, follow General Xiao to the frontier, it is more than enough to be a military officer, maybe you can make a lot of contributions, stay in the palace and be a civil official, it is really overkill."
Qian Qianqian chuckled, her tone was a little more relaxed, and she chatted with Shao Huaigu a few more words, and her heart was much happier, not as nervous as she was just now.
"Everyone has their own fate, and my legs and feet are also destined, so I have no choice but to stay here, but there is nothing wrong with this, at least everything is convenient in the capital."
Shao Huaigu didn't think so, he had already let go of the matter of legs and feet, anyway, no matter where he was, he had a way to benefit the people, so it didn't matter.
Qian Qianqian saw that all this was arranged, so she was relieved, and went straight back to her residence, and the palace people prepared food, which was originally hot, but it was cool.
"Miss Qian, it's not early, you can eat something, and when it's night, when you're tired, don't eat anything, and you won't be able to stay up at that time."
Xue Yi pushed the food to Qian Qianqian's hand, although Qian Qianqian didn't feel how hungry she was, she also thought that Qian Qianqian was right, she had to eat something.
At night, the sky is completely dark, and the palace is lit up and down, although it is not as bright as the day, but you can also see the road under your feet, and the palace is heavily guarded up and down, and it is terrifyingly quiet.
Qian Qianqian stood on the city tower, wearing a moon-white cloak behind her, with the fur of a snow fox on it, a snow fox that Xiao Mohan had beaten before, took off the fur and made a cloak for her, so that she could keep warm in winter.
The weather is not good tonight, the cool breeze is gusting, the wind is mixed with rain, and the wind is cold and fluttering, which makes this capital particularly desolate and desolate.
Qian Qianqian combed her hair in a neat bun, hid a dagger in her sleeve, the green silk hanging down her shoulders flew in the wind, her face was slightly powdered, her facial features were beautiful, but her eyes were extremely sharp, so calm that people didn't dare to approach.
Under the city wall, Qin Li and Yuan Ying were also vigilant, many forbidden troops were guarding outside, not daring to slack off, the mountain rain was about to come, and the wind was full of buildings, they all knew that there would be a fierce battle tonight.
There were gradually bursts of footsteps on the empty long street, listening to this sound, there should be a lot of people coming, against the cold moonlight, countless black shadows became more and more obvious under Qian Qianqian's eyes.
The enemy army approached the palace gate step by step, Qin Li and Yuan Ying also pulled out the blades in their hands, and the war was about to break out, and in a moment and a half, countless people died.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order and swore to defend the palace to the death."
Qin Li raised the long knife in his hand, and when the enemy army moved, he gave a sharp order, and soon, there was a fight under the city wall, and the men and horses on both sides were full of strength, fighting to the death.
Qian Qianqian has been carefully observing the situation below, and found that those ministers are indeed killing the enemy, and looking at their strength, there is no need for those forbidden troops to be poor, it seems that Shao Huaigu's move is indeed wise.
The enemy army pounced on the palace in a steady stream, so they rushed up desperately regardless of the cost, and when one wave fell, another wave came from behind.
It seems that Yuan Ying is right, these enemy troops have reinforcements, and their number is far more than expected, and they are determined to win the palace tonight.
Many of the forbidden troops lay in ambush on the towers, with bows and arrows in their hands, and under the orders of the chief, they shot arrows downward, but even so, the enemy had the enemy's methods, and they still resisted very hard.
"Miss Qian, it's too dangerous upstairs in this city, you can go in with the slave maid."
There were also cold arrows shot below, Xue Yi was protecting Qian Qianqian, seeing that the big thing was not good, and was pulling Qian Qianqian inside.
"These people are all prepared, and we will also go out and retreat with Qin Li and Yuan Ying."
Qian Qianqian said very firmly, she and Xue Yi may not have much effect when they go out, but if they can kill one more person, they will have one more chance to defend the palace.
"Miss Qian, are you crazy? Now there is a battle between the two armies outside, and the battle is scorching, and if we go out, not only will we not be able to help, but we may die immediately. ”
Xue Yi was very excited, she didn't want to let the last time happen again, last time it was Qian Qianqian's luck, this time Qian Qianqian may not have such good luck.
Although Qian Qianqian is anxious, she also knows the current situation, Xue Yi is right, if she goes out with Xue Yi, Xue Yi will not only be unable to concentrate on dealing with the enemy army, but also distracted to protect her, which is indeed worth the loss.
Shao Huaigu and the rest of the ministers were protecting the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and every half an hour, someone brought in the news from outside, which was not good news, and those ministers were like pins and needles.
The emperor drank the medicine, although he was nervous, but he was helpless, he could neither go out to retreat from the enemy, nor could he come up with any good ideas, so he could only lie down and be anxious.
Qian Qianqian rushed straight in and found Jiang Sheng, this is an extraordinary time, and she must use extraordinary means, so she can't care so much.
"Doctor Jiang, I have something I want to ask you."
Qian Qianqian lowered her voice, walked to Jiang Sheng's side, and gave Jiang Sheng a look.
She insisted on persuading Shao Huaigu to stay before, so those ministers' eyes were full of resentment when they looked at her, if it weren't for Shao Huaigu being here, and she was Xiao Mohan's person, I'm afraid those ministers would have let people drag her out and beat her to death.
Seeing that the emperor drank the medicine and fell asleep, Jiang Sheng followed Qian Qianqian out, and the two walked to a remote corner, where there was no forbidden army around the enemy, and it was somewhat cleaner.
"Do you have any medicine in your hand that can attract snakes, insects, rats, ants or something? We don't have enough people to take advantage of these things. ”
Qian Qianqian looked around, her eyes rolled around a few times, and her eyes were full of indescribable cunning.
"Yes, there is, but this situation is useless, now we are fighting with the enemy, if we spill the medicine, it will inevitably hurt our people, and when the time comes, it will undoubtedly kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, it is really not cost-effective."
Jiang Sheng also thought of this method, but it was not very suitable, he never said it, and now Qian Qianqian also thought of it, so he explained it one by one.
"That's not in the way, as long as you have that kind of medicine, and when you get through tonight, it will come in handy."
Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart, and suddenly raised her eyes, her face was full of indescribable cruelty, and her eyes were dark, as if she was hiding countless things.
"You mean, looking for an opportunity to sneak up on them?"
Jiang Sheng is not a fool, and it is not difficult to find out after a little thought in his heart, so he looked Qian Qianqian up and down, and asked tentatively.
"Yes, as long as we survive tonight, we can't sit still, we must take the initiative."
Qian Qianqian nodded, speaking very firmly, her red lips were pursed into a long line, her eyebrows were full of heroism, and her gestures were full of indescribable perseverance, which made men feel ashamed.
"Okay, I'll go get you medicine, but I see that tonight's battle is fierce, the enemy army is determined to win, and it will not be easy to survive tonight, and several ministers are already preparing for the future."
Jiang Sheng said very calmly, he is a doctor, he is used to seeing life and death, he was in the frontier before, followed Xiao Mohan in the army, and he also saw marching and fighting, so this is not new to him, although he knows that death is coming, but he does not have the slightest fear.
Qian Qianqian tore the corners of her mouth, she didn't know what expression to put on, although she had confidence in her heart, but looking at the current battle situation, those confidence seemed to be extinguished by water, and she couldn't burn it, even so, she still hoped that the people around her could keep going.
"We're going to get through tonight, I've almost died a few times before, haven't I survived? As long as we don't give up, no one can beat us. ”
Qian Qianqian paused, eased a little in her heart, took a deep breath, her body tensed, her eyes burned, and people couldn't help but follow at a glance.
"You're right, I've always believed in you and General Xiao."
Jiang Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, then turned around and left this place directly, his steps were brisk, and he really couldn't see the slightest abnormality.
Qian Qianqian turned around and saw that those forbidden soldiers had fallen a lot, many of them were shot by cold arrows, and they were bleeding nonstop, but they still pulled their bows and shot arrows, and they would never fall unless they lost their breath.
Xue Yi is also helping, she wants to protect Qian Qianqian, she can't go out, so she can only do her best in this way, but the battle situation below is still very unfavorable to them, listening to the sound below, the enemy seems to be starting to hit the palace gate.
