314 Breaking the city
This battle was extremely difficult, because Situ Qianchen knew the formation used by Mu Jinghong in advance, so Mu Jinghong and several deputy generals had to exchange for other formations.
Unfortunately, on the first day, Mu Jinghong's army was still defeated, the gate of the capital was not opened, and the sky was dark. The respective armies could only withdraw their troops.
Situ Jun was brave and fearless, and Mu Jinghong's team was seriously damaged, and their morale dropped a lot.
In front of Mu Jinghong, several lieutenants vowed to find out the inner ghost, but Mu Jinghong supported his head with one hand, allowing them to shout in front of him, pursed his lips, and his eyebrows were full of heavy and complicated expressions.
But after a while, Ling Jiantong appeared in front of the big tent with a decoction, and several deputy generals are also people who know how to read their eyes, and their wives are here, who is still here as a light bulb?
After they retired one after another, Mu Jinghong and Ling Jiantong were left.
Mu Jinghong raised his eyes to look at Ling Jiantong who was standing at the door of the big tent, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't show any superfluous expression.
Ling Jiantong walked in front of Mu Jinghong with the decoction, it was still the same, there was no difference.
The atmosphere between the two was a little inexplicably silent.
Mu Jinghong didn't take the decoction and drank it, but instead stared at Ling Jiantong, who was standing on the side and didn't dare to raise his head.
He didn't understand, it was obviously the woman he loved with his heart, and for her, he could abandon everything, but in the end, why did she betray him?
Mu Jinghong slowly stretched out his hand and held her coldness, he felt Ling Jiantong's body tremble slightly, but her gaze still subconsciously moved over.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Mu Jinghong hadn't spoken for a long time, Ling Jiantong was a little weak under his gaze.
Mu Jinghong shook his head, silently replied, "It's nothing", then sighed lightly, and drank the decoction instead, this time the decoction was extremely bitter, bitter to the heart.
Ling Jiantong saw Mu Jinghong's frowning eyebrows, and she suddenly felt distressed and guilty, but she knew that she couldn't say anything, if she said it, Ling Zhishuang would die.
Ling Jiantong pursed his lips, took the empty bowl he had placed on the table, and instructed two words such as resting early, and was about to go out.
But Mu Jinghong took her hand, Ling Jiantong was stunned, and his tone was a little anxious: "Jinghong, I have to fight tomorrow, tonight, you can have a good rest." ”
"Eyes, we've got an inner ghost here."
Although he thought about it again, Mu Jinghong couldn't help but say it.
It's a pity that Ling Jiantong has always turned his back to him, otherwise he would really look at her expression at this moment, whether he will continue to pretend to be calm, or will he show a trace of guilt and guilt.
It's a pity that there is none, Ling Jiantong's voice replied with a small "oh", and there was no follow-up.
"Eyes, if I lose tomorrow, will you still be with me?"
I want to be with you too.
Death will be with you.
After Mu Jinghong finished speaking, Ling Jiantong silently replied to this sentence in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he was replaced by another: "Don't think about it, you won't lose, isn't this Tianyuan Country the world of the Mu family?" ”
This cold answer made Mu Jinghong's heart tense suddenly, was she not because of anything else, but because of such a perfunctory reason?
Even if she says "together" in person, it is more than ten million times better than this.
However, she didn't say anything, and the little hand he held in the palm of his hand struggled to escape, and even the last cold temperature was gone.
"Jinghong, I'm tired of the day, let's rest early."
Ling Jiantong almost finished speaking, and Mu Jinghong then picked up: "Would you want me to win?" ”
"Of course."
The corners of Mu Jinghong's lips showed a wry smile, he closed his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Okay, for your words, I will definitely win the final battle tomorrow." ”
Ling Jiantong subconsciously looked back at him, although he smiled, but for some reason those eyes had a kind of magic that could see through people's hearts, which suddenly made Ling Jiantong's heart tremble, she quickly looked away and left in a hurry.
Maybe she has some last resort, right?
It must be like this.
Ling Jiantong almost fled back to her tent, she didn't know if Mu Jinghong already knew something, she was restless all night, knowing that the morning light outside was shining in, and she heard the sound of soldiers gathering outside.
It's going to be a war again, right?
Ling Jiantong looked tired, she sat on the bed, glanced out of the tent, but inadvertently saw the man who turned over and got on the horse.
She rarely saw him wearing armor, usually he was dressed in white, looking very handsome, but now he is in armor, but his feminine face has a touch of heroism, he is really the most handsome man in the world.
But this is such a man, she betrayed him.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Ling Jiantong looked at it, as if she also saw Mu Jinghong's eyes and looked over to her.
Ling Jiantong hurriedly withdrew her gaze, stared down at her interlaced hands, and began to feel uneasy.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the army to depart, leaving only a small number of soldiers stationed in the barracks.
Quiet, the next hour, three hours, five hours were very quiet.
Ling Jiantong sat like this, sitting again from early morning until dark, Zijin came twice and brought food in, but Ling Jiantong didn't even touch it, she didn't know what was going on ahead? She really wanted to see it, but she was really afraid to see Mu Jinghong's disappointed look when the defeat was decided.
I don't know how long I waited, but I suddenly heard someone outside the barracks shouting and running in.
"Good news, good news, the capital gate is broken, the capital gate is broken!"
Ling Jiantong stood up suddenly, and her heart suddenly cooled, how could it be?
Without thinking, she rushed out, grabbed the person who shouted good news, and stared at him: "What did you just say?" ”
The soldier still had the enemy's blood on his face, and he didn't care to wipe it, and smiled happily: "Congratulations to Madam, the prince has won, and now the large army has begun to enter the city, you ......"
After the soldier finished speaking, Ling Jiantong dragged a horse from nowhere, got on the horse and galloped towards the capital.
Situ Qianchen's Situ army was beaten by Mu Jinghong, and the capital could not be defended, so he could only retreat to the palace.
Mu Jinghong's men and horses were guarding the gate of the palace, while Situ Qianchen was standing on the city tower, looking down at Mu Jinghong with a calm expression.
The victorious general who won a hundred battles did not expect that there would be a day when soldiers would come to the city.
Mu Jinghong has been dormant for four years, and he can finally be ashamed today.
Mu Jinghong looked up at Situ Qianchen, who was still fighting the trapped beasts, and shouted: "Situ Qianchen, your defeat is decided, now open the door of the palace, I can consider sparing your life." ”
Situ Qianchen covered the city wall with his hands, obviously surrounded by Mu Jinghong's army, but Situ Qianchen still showed a meaningful smile: "Mu Jinghong, don't worry, I think you have to attack the palace, I'm afraid you have to wait for someone to come." ”
Mu Jinghong probably knew in his heart who the person he was referring to was.
"Situ Qianchen, now that the matter is over, do you still want to threaten me with a woman to reverse your current predicament?"
Situ Qianchen didn't speak, because he vaguely heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves.
On the letter he sent to Ling Jiantong at the end, he clearly wrote a sentence "If the city is broken, Ling Zhishuang will die."
Ling Jiantong shouldn't care about her own mother's life.
"Situ Qianchen, I don't have the patience to accompany you here, come here, knock open the city gate for me!"
The soldier was about to push the tools of the city, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the familiar voice "Wait! ”
Mu Jinghong looked sideways, how could Ling Jiantong come?!
Ling Jiantong was in too much of a hurry, she didn't catch her breath, she couldn't breathe, and her smiling face was flushed, but even so, she still grabbed Mu Jinghong's sleeve and shook her head again and again: "Don't break the city, don't ......"
At this time, she is still protecting him?!
Mu Jinghong did not have the gentleness of the past, he had a cold face, waved away Ling Jiantong's hand, and insisted on saying: "Come on, please send Madame back, you continue to knock the city gate open!" ”
Ling Jiantong rushed to the city gate alone, stretched out his arms, and the soldier's hand pushing the pillar suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked at the panicked Ling Jiantong and Mu Jinghong, whose face became more and more ugly.
Ling Jiantong knew that Mu Jinghong was afraid that she was already angry, but even so, she had to say: "Mu Jinghong, let's talk." ”
Is it finally time to talk?
Mu Jinghong thought that she would hide it from herself for a long time, so he took off his helmet and followed Ling Jiantong to a secluded place.
Ling Jiantong took a deep breath: "Your formation to deal with Situ Qianchen's troops is ......"
"I know, you stole it out and gave it to Situ Qianchen."
Ling Jiantong's eyes shrunk, he even knew everything?
And what about him...... That night......
"Ling Jiantong, I gave you a chance, you didn't confess to me, it doesn't matter, I don't want to ask why you want to help Situ Qianchen, but now, I see that the city is about to be broken, you can't let me get off the stage in front of all the soldiers, why are you? Could it be that you really don't want me to win, but want Situ Qianchen to sit on that throne?! ”
"No...... No...... I ......" A thousand words gathered in his heart, but Ling Jiantong didn't know where to start.
At this time, the deputy general came over, although he knew that it was not the right time, but just now Situ Qianchen put forward a condition, he had to come to ask Mu Jinghong.
"Seventh Prince, Situ Qianchen said just now that he wanted you and his wife to enter the palace alone, and he wanted to say something to you and his wife in person."
Mu Jinghong sneered, and glanced at Situ Qianchen, who was standing on the city wall, okay, the grievances and grievances between them for so many years should be resolved in this way.
