Chapter 103 The Western Tang Dynasty Comes Away
Weiyang lay on his stomach and didn't move, only raised his eyes to look at Shen Luochen, and shouted aggrievedly, "I want to eat meat!" I'm not a rabbit and don't eat turnips! ”
Shen Luochen smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and put one in a small saucer and pushed it to her, handed the chopsticks in person, and coaxed him good-naturedly: "Okay, eat meat!" His eyes were all spoiled, and he saw that Zuoqing's eyes were getting darker.
Weiyang took the chopsticks with some hesitation, seemed to be struggling, stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before picking up the dumpling. Cautiously approached his lips, held his breath, took a small bite of the dumpling, and didn't even dare to chew it, and swallowed it indiscriminately. After a long time, she didn't vomit, and the broken light in her eyes flowed out, like the gold leaf of the sunset on the lake, sparkling and moving.
Then she took another bite, and suddenly there was an extra bite of meat that had not been close for many days, and her throat and stomach protested in unison, and she covered her urge to vomit and ran out quickly. Immediately after, her earth-shattering voice came from the courtyard, and Shen Luochen blamed himself for hearing it.
Zuo Qing lowered his head to hide the emotion in his eyes, and he drank it when he had nothing to do, and his face turned red after drinking in just a few minutes.
Shen Luochen took off his robe and left the table, and entered the backyard from the small door with a glass of water, "Come, rinse your mouth." ”
Weiyang drank two sips of water and spit it out, then raised a little face that vomited tears, pulled Shen Luochen's sleeve to wipe his face, and scolded while wiping, "It's all your fault, woo woo woo ......"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, go back and rest first, and cook porridge later and eat some more." Shen Luochen good-naturedly coaxed her upstairs.
Weiyang stood at the window on the third floor and looked into the city, muttering to himself, "Aren't there fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve in the south?" ”
Zuo Qing didn't know how to convince Shen Luochen, he folded his clothes and nested on the couch where Shen Luochen slept in the past, pulled a quilt over and closed his eyes to recuperate, he didn't seem to hear what Weiyang said, and he didn't respond.
Wei Wanwan looked at the soldiers blocking in front of her, and her chest gasped with anger.
Qin Yan didn't know when he changed the big tent guards, and these four people were all good at martial arts. If she really started to act, although the four of them were not her opponents, she would not have the face to enter Qin Yan's big tent again.
Jiang Tao took the dumplings from Wei Wanwan's hand and brought them into the big tent.
"Gongzi, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's eat dumplings!" Jiang Tao looked at Qin Yan flatteringly, and saw that his face was normal and not angry, so he wanted to speak again, "That ......"
"Go down!" Qin Yan intercepted what he was about to say, "Without my order, if anyone enters and leaves the big tent at will, they should be dealt with as a leak of military information." He said lightly, and he didn't look at Jiang Tao and the plate of dumplings.
Jiang Tao swallowed all the words that came to his mouth, put down the dumplings in his hand and quietly walked out of the big tent, thinking in his heart: Isn't it for Miss Wei that Gongzi rejected the young man in white? Miss Wei is gentle and virtuous, and she is also beautiful, and she will definitely be happy to marry her wife.
When he got out of the big tent and saw that Wei Wanwan still hadn't left, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "That, that Wei girl, my son-in-law is busy with military affairs, please go back and rest." ”
Qin Yan threw down the book in his hand, and couldn't help but miss the peach blossom drunk.
Tonight, the Nanzhao camp was brightly lit and not extinguished all night. The guards came to report several times, but Qin Yan only slept on the chair for half an hour before he personally went to see it, so he had to tell him to guard carefully and beware of the night.
After returning to the tent, there was a stack of books on the couch, which he had just pillowed. He couldn't help but have a shallow curl of his lips, and sleeping with a book on his pillow seemed to be Weiyang's habit, and he had seen it a few times.
took off her robe and sighed lightly, thinking about her more and more recently, but she didn't know to come to see him. The heart is very clear and sullen.
This night is both the New Year and the New Year, and everything is destined to happen on this day.
Even Weiyang didn't know that this was the calmest night in Wuling City, and it would change after Chinese New Year's Eve.
There was nothing to say all night, and when Weiyang woke up the next day, the red shadow on the couch was gone. She rubbed her eyes and got out of bed, the door was closed well, and Zuo Qing didn't know when she went out.
Just as he was about to wash, the afterimage at the door called out quickly, "Young master? ”
Weiyang took two steps over and pulled the door open and looked at the afterimage.
After the afterimage entered the door, he closed the door again, looking anxious, "Young master, Xitang marched last night, and now it has arrived in Wuling City for less than 100 miles. ”
Weiyang was stunned, and quickly thought of various possibilities in his mind.
After a while, he said, "Inform Qi Yan, close the city gate and make all preparations, go quickly!" ”
The afterimage turned around and left, Weiyang hurriedly washed and changed his robe, and then walked out of the gate of Qingqi Winery to the direction of the city gate, and went to the city to look west.
A dense forest in the west of the city stretches for hundreds of miles, and the advance of the Western Tang troops was unconsciously completed, which should not be underestimated.
Shen Luochen then came, and the two looked west of the city, one worried about the safety of the city, and the other worried about her safety.
300,000 soldiers of Nanzhao came to the city, and the momentum was magnificent; The banner hunted, the war drums sounded, and the edicts shouted loudly in the sound of the horn in words that the Chu people could not understand.
Qin Yan has a silver robe and silver armor, and under his crotch is a meteor horse, and his whole body is black. He held a long knife in his hand and stood proudly in the army, watching from afar.
Qi Yao's cyan armor rode and carried a gun at the front of the team, and he didn't wait for the soldiers to fight, so he urged the horse forward, and the spear tapped the leader of the other party's front of the formation, and the two fought together.
Seeing that the leader had already made a move, the Nanzhao soldiers no longer waited, and came to attack one after another. Qi Yao's forward battalion immediately stepped forward to intercept it, and the two sides fell into a melee for a while.
"Report!" A guard rolled his saddle and fell off his horse and knelt in front of Qin Yan, "Report to the general, the defenders of the Western Tang border have come through the forest, and they have reached nearly a hundred miles, please make a decision!" ”
Qin Yan's face couldn't help but darken, how could those hundreds of miles of dense forests be able to run the army, and how could they come so quickly?
"Probe again, report in time!" Qin Yan said loudly.
The soldier hurriedly mounted his horse and left.
"Where is Lu Shaoqian?" Qin Yan called urgently.
Lu Shaoqian slapped his horse forward, "The end will be here!" ”
"Take my warrant to go back to the camp and order 2,000 troops, and go to the western jungle to explore, and don't act rashly." Qin Yan casually threw him an ebony stick.
Lu Shaoqian patted the horse and galloped away.
Here, the forward battalion led by Qi Yao has steadily taken the top.
This battle was fought from sunrise to sunset, and Nanzhao first collected the troops, and did not care about the dead, and withdrew the troops and left.
Qin Yan ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and the soldiers who died on both sides were buried.
There were as many as four waves of people sent to the western jungle successively, all of whom came to report that the Western Tang Dynasty was only camped a hundred miles away, and there was no change.
The people returned to the camp and urgently discussed the military situation, and dispersed at night. Qin Yan personally inspected everywhere and told the vigil to be cautious and strictly prevent sneak attacks at night.
Before he could sleep when he returned to the camp, a spy came to report that the western jungle garrison had set up camp and advanced to Qixia Pass.
Qin Yan immediately put on his clothes, rode on his horse and went to the pass to see the movement of the Nanzhao camp, and before he reached the pass, someone came to report the night attack of the edict soldiers.
Qi Yao had already led his troops out of the city, and the team that intercepted the night attack started fighting again under the pass.
Qin Yan turned his horse back to the tent and instructed all the people and horses to secretly pack up their robes and weapons and not to riot. The ebony sticks in his hand were generally distributed out, and all the people and horses were ordered to do so, and for a while, all the 400,000 troops in the Chu camp moved, but they were unusually quiet.
Weiyang and Shen Luochen watched the whole process carefully on a big tree in the distance, and the two returned to Wuling City quietly, so that the afterimage urgently called Qi Yan to meet at the head of the city.
"Big brother, whether the Western Tang Dynasty wants to come to Qixia Pass or Wuling City, it is a very tricky thing for us, do you have any plans?" Weiyang asked solemnly.
Qi Yan's face was pale, and he tiptoed to the west from time to time with his hands behind his back, "I understand what the virtuous brother means, but there are only 20,000 defenders in Wuling City, if the Western Tang Dynasty comes to surround it at this time, Yu Qixia Pass will suffer from the enemy on his back and back, and Yu Wuling City will be more auspicious!" ”
Weiyang pondered for a while and then said, "Looking at the direction of the Western Tang soldiers, Wuling City is going to be decided. If Wuling City is lost, the 400,000 soldiers on Qixia Pass will be like a swimming tree, isolated and difficult to help. ”
"Therefore, Wuling City must not be lost!" Qi Yan said calmly.
Weiyang paced back and forth on Wuling City, measuring the city wall with steps. Because there is Qixia Pass in front, the Wuling city wall is only two zhang high, and the thickness is no more than four steps.
She couldn't help but think of Phoenix. The city wall of Fengxiang Pass is more than three zhang high, eleven steps wide, the wall is scattered and placed full of small holes, there are hidden arrows in the middle, if someone forcibly ascends the city, as long as the mechanism is controlled in the pass, the arrows will be densely packed out like a rainstorm, and the Daluo Immortal is not close to half a step. Thirty miles in Fengxiang Pass is Phoenix City, although the thickness of the city wall is not as good as Fengxiang Pass, but there is a deep water surface around the city, unless the suspension bridge is put down, or you have to hold the boat, the day is dangerous and difficult to cross.
The three of them were silent for a moment, each worried on the wall.
The night was getting deeper, and Weiyang was a little cold and couldn't stand it.
Shen Luochen took two steps closer and said in a low voice, "Go back first, it's about to rain, don't catch a cold!" ”
Weiyang nodded, the three of them went down the city wall, and Qi Yan went back to the city lord's mansion to discuss the matter of defending the city.
Shen Luochen accompanied Weiyang to Qingqi Winery, and looked at Weiyang several times with eyes that wanted to speak and stopped.
"Shen Luochen, do you have something to say to me?" Weiyang stopped, looked up at Shen Luochen beside him with a worried look, and couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
Shen Luochen seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said lightly, "Zuo Qing is right, the child may be able to save your life." ”
Weiyang looked at him puzzled, and in the dark night, his eyes were like stars.
"Weiyang, although I don't know whose child it is, if you want to give birth to him, I will admit it. But Zuo Qing said that if you are pregnant with a girl, he has a way to lure the Gu worm into the womb, and then you will be fine if you fall into the womb. Although Shen Luochen's voice was hesitant, it was also firm.
Weiyang's tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, and they were out of control.
Shen Luochen was a little at a loss and didn't dare to say anything more, so he came back to his senses and hugged her after a while, and went all the way back to Qingzhen Winery.
The afterimage brought the medicine that Wen had on the stove to Weiyang.
Weiyang took the medicine bowl, and the tears fell in the bowl, and the big ones were like raindrops, smashing up blisters one after another in the medicinal soup in the bowl.
Shen Luochen pursed his lips and looked at her, and couldn't help but think of Hua Xun's words that day.
Hua Xun said that because she has a ruthless Gu on her body, she will not have fatal pain in her feelings, even if she is seriously injured, she can't help but cry.
Shen Luochen's heart didn't know what it was like.
He still remembered the blood she vomited when she knew that she had a marriage contract, and now she didn't know who she sent her heart to, but it finally failed? This should have been his beloved and eyebrow-raising partner. Now he didn't dare to beg, he could only watch her cry for others. A heart is broken in an instant, and it can't be fought back.
When the afterimage came in again, Weiyang's tears were still hanging on his cheeks, but the medicine in the bowl was empty.
"Young master, the Western Tang Army is already close to thirty miles, and it will definitely attack the city tonight, what should I do?"
Weiyang put the bowl in his hand on the table, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, looked at the wetness of the back of his hand with some uncertainty, and secretly cursed himself in his heart for being unproductive, why did he get a crying problem recently.
"Brother Qi has already mobilized the defenders, even if the Western Tang Dynasty comes to attack tonight, it will not be in the way, the march in the mountains must be extremely sleepy, and they are not immortals." Weiyang stood up and walked behind the bookcase, picked up a pen and wrote something on the paper, folded it and put it in an envelope and handed it to the afterimage, "Give it to Brother Qi, he will know my intentions." ”
After the afterimage left, Weiyang washed his face and slept on the bed.
Shen Luochen stood at the window all night, his mind not belonging.
Sure enough, before dawn the next day, the afterimage returned.
"Young master, the Western Tang Dynasty really came to attack, but it was blocked back by Qin Yan's strange soldiers, and he camped thirty miles in the forest west of the city." The afterimage looked at Weiyang with reverence.
The three of them packed up, ate a little food, and then looked at the city again.
At this time, Weiyang was already two months pregnant, although she couldn't see it, but some details revealed some differences. She can still only feed on white porridge, but whenever there is a little oil, she vomits earth-shatteringly.
The afterimage scratched his ears and cheeks and couldn't think of a way, Shen Luochen said that the young master's nutrition was not enough, which was not good for the child.
Shen Luochen changed the tonic every day, carefully feeding Weiyang, and the antiemetic medicine didn't know how much it tasted, but it didn't have any effect. He didn't know what to do, so he could only watch her eat white porridge day by day and occasionally vomit and be tortured.
Shen Luochen was desolate, and Weiyang looked at him with some puzzlement for a long time, but finally didn't ask.
It was raining lightly, and it was so cold that his teeth chattered.
The three of them stood on the city wall, and the banner could be seen in the dense forest to the west.
A thin figure in a blue robe climbed the city wall and walked quickly towards the foothold of the three of Weiyang.
Weiyang heard footsteps and looked back, "Big brother, why are you here too?" ”
Qi Yan and everyone replied warmly after seeing each other, "Last night, as Brother Xian said, the Western Tang soldiers only besieged the city and shouted a few times, and they hurriedly retreated with the help of Qin Yan's troops, but ......"
"Is the eldest brother worried that he is going to attack tonight? Although Wuling City is vulnerable, it is not something that Xitang can do in three or five days. Weiyang sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that Nanzhao will attack Qixia Pass with all his might, and Qin Yan won't have time to take care of Wuling City, so it will give Xitang enough opportunities." Even if Qin Yan had the ability to take over all the power of Nanzhao, if he wanted to be distracted to resist the strong army of Western Tang, he couldn't. ”
Weiyang's brows tightened, and his mind was also thinking about how to deal with the enemy.
