Situ Qiannan gathered the somewhat scattered military newspapers on the table, he didn't seem to take Ye Zhengbai's words to heart, so he got up and said, "Let's go, go out with me to see the soldiers." ”

"Chinan!" Ye Zhengbai crossed in front of him and stopped him with one hand: "The reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive soon, this time the emperor may have sent the second brother, are you really ...... You don't have to work so hard anymore. ”

Situ Qiannan's eyes dimmed slightly, his body, of course he knew best, he also wanted to have a good rest, but if he rested, the people of the Jingyuan Sect outside ...... What he was most afraid of was that if he couldn't wait for Situ Qianchen to come, he would no longer be able to defend Tianji City.

"Zhengbai, don't worry, I will definitely hold out until Qianchen."

Situ Qiannan patted him on the shoulder, then opened the door of the hall and walked out.

A large piece of orange afterglow entered, and Ye Zhengbai's somewhat lonely shadow continued to lengthen, in fact, he had already had the worst plan in his heart in the past few days, he could defend the city and die, but Situ Qiannan definitely couldn't.

Night has quietly fallen, a few days of preparations, the faces of the soldiers are already tired, and the morale is not as high as the previous fight against Tianji City, Situ Qiannan specially instructed the back kitchen, tonight to prepare good wine, up the cauldron to stew the meat, he wants to treat all the soldiers guarding in Tianji City.

The bonfire was lit, and the 5,000 soldiers who followed Situ Qiannan out of the capital at first are now more than 3,000 left, all of whom are Situ Jun, and they are elite soldiers and strong generals trained by the Situ family.

Good wine and good meat have been distributed to everyone's hands, Situ Qiannan is dressed in a military uniform, his body is already weak, this body is a few pounds of armor, he frowns and can barely hold it, at this moment his hand holding the wine bowl trembles slightly.

"Chinan, you can't drink." Ye Zhengbai stopped him with one hand, but Situ Qiannan gently pushed his hand away and walked onto the high platform surrounded by soldiers.

"My Situ Qiannan is not talented, on leading the troops, I am far inferior to my second brother General Zhaoyi, on the battlefield, I am not as good as one-tenth of my second brother, but my Situ Qiannan has a heart to defend the country to the death, the Jingyuan Sect is a cult, it is an attempt to overthrow the poison of our dynasty, I am very grateful to all the soldiers who were born and died with me, and accompanied by their lives, this kindness, my Situ Qiannan has nothing to reciprocate, I can only use this bowl of sake, thank you!"

The soldiers standing in the audience looked up quietly at the moment, and Situ Qiannan drank all the wine in his hand.

Such pride and grandeur were ignited in an instant, and the soldiers raised their wine one after another and drank it cleanly.

Situ Qiannan smiled with relief, held up the wine bowl, and shouted: "Now that the Jingyuan Sect has besieged us in Tianji City, I have received a secret report from the imperial court, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, what we need to do next is to defend Tianji City, soldiers, the Jingyuan Sect is ruthless, but today my Situ Qiannan will put his words here, swear to defend the city to the death, on the Huangquan Road, my Situ Qiannan will be with you, we will live together, and die together!" ”

Throw the bowl as an oath.

The hearts of the three thousand soldiers were tightly screwed together at this moment.

Ye Zhengbai, who was standing in the audience at this moment, suddenly felt moved and admired Situ Qiannan, his body was sick and weak, but he was already able to make such bold words to inspire people, sure enough, the Situ family is all heroes, and they are all respectable heroes who protect their families and protect the country.

Sleepless nights.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose and the white light was sprinkled on the earth, the Pure Yuan Sect disciples who were in ambush under the city had already begun to move.

They came up from the depths of the woods, the dark mask covered half of the treacherous face, the bow and arrow were full, the arrow feather was already on the aim, the index finger was loosened, and the arrow burst out of the air with a whizz, hitting the head of the soldier standing in the center of Tianji City.

As the soldiers fell to the ground in response, the rest of the soldiers also entered the first-level security state, and they drew their bows and arrows to aim at various places under the city.

The soldiers on the city wall hurried down and rushed into the hall to tell what had just happened.

Situ Qiannan frowned suddenly, glanced at Ye Zhengbai, and then calmly ordered: "It is very likely that the Jingyuan Sect knows that our reinforcements are coming, so if you want to capture Tianji City in advance, Deputy General Li Qing, you bring dozens of soldiers who are good at archery, be sure to defend the city wall, General Zhao Yuan, you gather the army, get ready, if the Jingyuan Sect is strong, you can go out of the city with me at any time to resist the enemy!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them were ordered to go down and deploy immediately.

Situ Qiannan turned around and took the blade from the shelf, but Ye Zhengbai took the sword in his hand first.

"Zhengbai, the enemy is current, you don't still want me to be a turtle with a shrunken head, do you?" Situ Qiannan frowned, and said directly.

Ye Zhengbai knew Situ Qiannan's temperament, but going to the battlefield with a body like him was undoubtedly sending him to death, he promised Situ Qianchen before leaving that he would protect Situ Qiannan, but now, ......

"Qiannan, I'll go to the battlefield for you, this time the Pure Yuan Sect is menacing, I'm afraid of your body ......"

Situ Qiannan snatched the sword from his hand and said coldly: "If you still treat me as your friend, take back what you said." ”

"Chinan!"

Before Ye Zhengbai could dissuade him, he suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Oh no, the disciples of the Jingyuan Sect are forcibly attacking the city gate!" ”

How fast it will be!

Ye Zhengbai shook his kung fu, Situ Qiannan had already rushed out, he gritted his teeth and turned on his horse, and ignored Ye Zhengbai, he had already led thousands of soldiers to rush out!

The city gate was wide open, and Situ Jun suddenly rushed with thousands of horses, which immediately caught the disciples of the Jingyuan Sect by surprise, and most of the cultists holding the wood had already died under the horse's hooves before they could escape.

When the war was in chaos, Ye Zhengbai was really worried about Situ Qiannan's safety, so he immediately found a horse and rushed into the melee.

Although Situ Qiannan was sick and weak, the kung fu in his hand was not comparable to ordinary people, a war sword was swung in his hand and he was invincible, and the dozens of disciples surrounding him couldn't enter his body for a while.

In my impression, the elegant son, who has always been weak and weak, standing in front of the courtyard and watering the flowers, still has such a side.

Ye Zhengbai is afraid that he has forgotten the identity of Situ Qiannan, he was first General Zhaoyong of Tianyuan Kingdom, and then Situ Qiannan, the eldest son of the Situ family.

In this regard, he was not inferior to Situ Qianchen at all on the battlefield.

His bravery made the disciples who came to come go and never returned, and the blood stains on the armor on his body were already dyed red.

The day's hard work finally came to an end when the sun was about to set.

Of the 3,000 soldiers, only more than 1,000 survived.

But they kept Tianji City, and the disciples of the Pure Yuan Sect did not set foot in Tianji City.

The next day, the same was true.

Of the 1,000 soldiers, only more than 500 survived.

On the third day, they fought to the death.

Of the five hundred soldiers, only one hundred remained.

In the past few days of battle, Situ Qiannan's energy has been exhausted, Ye Zhengbai finally boiled the medicinal soup and brought it to Situ Qiannan, but Situ Qiannan didn't overdo it, and said in a weak tone: "Don't bother, this medicine doesn't work for me." ”

How could Ye Zhengbai not know, but this medicine is equivalent to a layer of psychological security, when he sees Situ Qiannan drink it, his heart will be at ease, and he will believe that under tomorrow's fierce battle, Situ Qiannan will survive unharmed.

"Qiannan, you drink it, even if it's for Qianchen, you can drink a little more."

The medicine bowl came to his mouth, and the strong but familiar smell of bitter medicine made the corners of Situ Qiannan's mouth pull a helpless smile: "Zhengbai, I'm afraid tomorrow will be the final decisive battle, you say, before I die, will Qianchen still arrive?" ”

It stands to reason that if you go from the capital to Tianji City quickly, it will only take two days and two nights, and according to Situ Qianchen's temperament, knowing that his own brother is besieged in the city, he will rush over as quickly as possible, but this time, three days have passed, why haven't I seen a single reinforcement?

Could it be that there is some danger on the way?

"Qiannan, if you drink the medicine, Qianchen will definitely arrive, don't forget, before you left, you promised them that you would go back to attend the wedding of Qianchen and Miss Ling."

Situ Qiannan's dim eyes revealed a slight glimmer of light, but he still didn't drink the bowl of medicine, but leaned his head against the city wall, and muttered: "Qianchen, this child has been introverted and steady since he was a child, and his father was particularly optimistic about him at that time, and he wanted to cultivate him into the pride of the Situ family, and he finally lived up to expectations and became the mainstay of Tianyuan Kingdom, taking over Daddy's class, I also know how difficult and difficult it is for him to embark on this road, he has been arrogant since he was a child, except for you and the Seventh Prince, no one dares to approach him, before, there was Meng Xueyuan, I thought that Qianchen would eventually have someone who understood him in the future, but I didn't expect that creation would make people...... cough cough cough ......"

"Qiannan, don't say it." Ye Zhengbai tightened his brows, and while stroking Situ Qiannan's trembling back, he persuaded him.

"I'm afraid that if I don't say it again, I won't have a chance in the future, Miss Ling is a good girl, considerate and sensible, and smart, she is a person who can accompany Qianchen for a lifetime, I can also see that Qianchen has true feelings for Miss Ling, so, I am not afraid, I will ...... after I die"

"Qiannan, can you not say frustrating words, you can survive, I promised my second brother before I left, even if I die, I will protect you thoroughly!"

Situ Qiannan smiled indifferently, the blood stains coughed up from the corners of his mouth slowly flowed down, he looked at Ye Zhengbai, who was full of worry, took the decoction in his hand, and sighed lightly: "After so many years of guarding the medicine jar, this time it is finally the last bowl to drink." ”

The familiar bitter taste rolled down my sweet throat, and my heart was full of bitterness.

He stretched out his hand and took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Ye Zhengbai's hand, entrusting it: "Zhengbai, if I die tomorrow, you will give this jade pendant to Qianchen and tell him that he has no worries in the future, he just needs to protect the Situ family." ”
