As a general, Chu Jingchuan is the bravest and the best. He can lead an army of more than 100,000 people, work together, strategize, and defeat the enemy without much effort. However, as a monarch, his heart is not hard enough, not poisonous enough! From beginning to end, he only has resentment in his heart, but he has no ambition, the ambition to devour everything.

Chu Jingchuan suddenly reached out and dragged Meng Xilan over, pushing her whole person towards the cold city wall behind her.

He pushed her upper body out, as if to push her whole body down.

Meng Xilan's feet were hanging in the air, her body was weightless, her eyes were full of fear, her lips trembled slightly, she looked at Chu Jingchuan and said, "Kill me, and all this will not end." ”

At the moment when his words fell, between the lightning and flint, Chu Jingchuan locked her throat with his hand, watching her tremble under his own hands, vulnerable.

"Do you think your emperor is coming back to save you?" A sharp sneer came out of his throat.

"He's back for his throne, not you."

Meng Xilan breathed for a moment, stretched out her hands to grab something, but could only touch the cold armor on his body.

Her nails scratched at his armor, and she couldn't exert any strength at all.

"Zhou Youchen!" Suddenly, a loud cry erupted in her ears, causing her eardrums to tingle slightly.

"Zhou Youchen! You open your eyes to see clearly, you show me clearly! ”

There was still a scuffle outside the city gate, however, Zhou Youchen still followed the sound and raised his head.

The moment he saw Meng Xilan, he felt as if his heart had been pulled out alive, connected with flesh and blood, dripping with blood, and the pain was unbearable.

In the following moment, Zhou Youchen raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop attacking.

He looked up at Chu Jingchuan and met his gaze.

What was he thinking, what was he trying to do? It seemed that he was going to threaten him with Meng Xilan.

Meng Xilan's face was almost as pale as paper, her breathing gradually weakened, and her body was almost frozen.

Chu Jingchuan suppressed his anger and firmly put the sword in his hand on Meng Xilan's neck, and then shouted to the city: "Zhou Youchen, if you dare to break through the city gate, I will kill her now!" ”

Meng Xilan struggled for a moment, but saw Chu Jingchuan leaning over, leaning in front of her, and said, "Do you think he cares about your life or death?" ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she silently closed her eyes, and a long tear trail crossed the corner of her eye.

She knew how Zhou Youchen would choose. She knew him......

Sure enough, Zhou Youchen only hesitated, and then ordered to continue attacking the city gate.

"Once the gates are opened, all the thieves will be killed."

For a while, all the soldiers under the city shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The crumbling city gate could not stop Zhou Youchen's ambition for revenge.

Chu Jingchuan laughed gloomily, and then dragged Meng Xilan back to his side, looked at her face, and said word by word: "You are nothing!" Meng Xilan, you made the wrong choice from the beginning, and you have been wrong in your life! ”

Meng Xilan's fair neck was strangled with a bright red five-finger print.

She slumped on the floor, unable to speak.

The city gate is about to be breached, and Chu Jingchuan will Meng Xilan is still on the city gate tower, and there is no pity in his eyes.

"Meng Xilan, me and you, we have no way back."

After Chu Jingchuan said this, he turned around and walked down the city gate, his steps were fast, and his back was resolute.

From now on, the bad relationship between them is completely over. He will no longer care about her joy and anger, her life and death......

She deserves it. Zhou Youchen gave up on her, and he was the same, he didn't want her anymore, and he wouldn't work hard for her. Without emotional involvement, there is only a bloody and brutal power struggle between the two.

Man to man, a real duel.

Meng Xilan couldn't stand up, just looked at Chu Jingchuan's back, and gradually disappeared.

Soon, her ears were filled with the sounds of shouting and fighting.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The voice sounded like a death-threatening howl coming from the depths of hell, and it sounded so terrifying.

Meng Xilan covered her ears vigorously with trembling hands, and curled up behind the city wall, motionless.

She'd had enough of it all, and she'd had enough of the cruel screams. She just wants to stay here and wait until it's all over.

Meng Xilan listened to her heartbeat quietly, and she didn't know how long it took, but when she opened her eyes again, there was no one on the city gate.

She stood up slowly, her body almost frozen. Both hands and feet are unusually sluggish, so they move slowly.

I don't know if she was hallucinating, and the city suddenly became quiet.

Meng Xilan walked down the city gate slowly step by step, and everywhere she looked, there were bloodstains.

The corpses of those soldiers collapsed to the ground in a hideous posture, and Meng Xilan dragged her long skirt to the mess and walked slowly.

At her feet, from time to time, she bumped into the severed arms of some dead people, and the smell of blood made her stomach tumble for a while.

She looked up and saw only piles and piles of corpses on the street, but not a single living person in sight.

Meng Xilan kept walking in the direction of the palace, her steps faltering and her eyes empty.

Behind him was the howling north wind, in front of him were corpses all over the ground, and the cold and fear hit together, and it felt as if it was sticking out of the deepest part of hell, gray and boundless, and there was no light in sight.

Zhou Youchen led 10,000 troops to attack the capital from the West City Gate, and fought fiercely with Chu Jingchuan, and at the same time, the North City Gate was also broken by Tu Du and his men.

Under the attack of the two sides, Chu Jingchuan's range of troops continued to shrink, and his position continued to shrink, and finally he could only use the school field as a base to establish a defensive position again.

When Gao Fu rushed to the palace, he was a step late. At that time, Meng Xilan had already been taken away.

The capital is in turmoil, and all three parties are red-eyed. Gao Welfare, I don't know where to go to find the queen mother?

Tu Du took people to Chu's house, but found that it was already empty.

Chu Jingchuan had already taken his family to the school grounds, where there were heavy guards, at least it was safe now.

When night came, Zhou Youchen had already recaptured the palace.

The loss and ruin of the palace were beyond his imagination. He couldn't imagine that Meng Xilan had been suffering for half a year in such an environment.

Gao Fuli was full of guilt, came to the emperor, knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the slave can't find the mother......"

She was not at the city gate, nor was she in the palace, nor was she taken away by Chu Jingchuan...... And just like that, she disappeared, gone.

After a day of hard fighting, Zhou Youchen was already tired and exhausted.

He dragged his heavy body, sat on the throne that he hadn't seen for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "She may still be in Chu Jingchuan's hands!" ”

He used "maybe" because he couldn't be sure.

He and Chu Jingchuan have been fighting and fighting, and he has no time to take care of Meng Xilan at all.

Gao Fuli bowed his head and was silent, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The slave will go out to find it again." ”

Zhou Youchen spoke: "You stay in the palace and take someone to settle the losses in the palace." ”

The palace is unfinished, dilapidated and dilapidated, and I don't know how much time it will take to repair.

Zhou Youchen led a team of men and horses to search all the way in the direction of the West City Gate.

The streets are still deserted.

Meng Xilan walked along the long street, her feet numb and exhausted.

She sat on the stone steps on the side of the street, looked up at the stars in the sky, and took a deep breath slowly.

On the streets of a cold night, she was surrounded only by corpses, and the tip of her nose only had a strong smell of blood.

Meng Xilan hugged her knees, wanting to warm herself.

Just as she was sinking into despair, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard again in the distance.

Meng Xilan raised her eyes in horror, and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide. But she had no strength anymore, staggered, and fell heavily to the ground.

The sound of horses' hooves behind her was getting closer and closer to her.

Meng Xilan knew that she must have been discovered, so she gathered the clothes on her body with trembling hands, waiting for those people to approach.

Suddenly, a sharp hiss rang out.

Meng Xilan felt a gust of wind pass behind her, and she subconsciously shrank her shoulders.

Who's coming?

When she slowly turned her head to look behind her.

A warm and thick coat suddenly held her whole body.

Her body felt like it was going to freeze, and her limbs were heavy and stiff.

Meng Xilan looked down at the big on her body, trembling and reaching out to grab it, her ten fingers clasped tightly, and secretly exerted force.

She turned and looked up at the tall and straight figure behind her, her face unrecognizable, but she knew who he was.

"Your Majesty......" Her voice was hoarse, and she met his eyes, and only saw tears in his eyes.

Zhou Youchen didn't expect to find her on this lifeless street.

Zhou Youchen closed her eyes, and her slender fingers trembled and touched her shoulder.

Meng Xilan stiffened slightly, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhou Youchen sighed deeply, knelt heavily on his knees, took her whole person into his arms, and hugged her hard.

"Lan'er ......"

He called her name vigorously, his eyes welling up with tears.

Meng Xilan's numb body, feeling his excitement, she was so tired, so tired that she didn't feel it at all.

Zhou Youchen gasped for breath and said to her slowly, "I'm sorry...... It's me, it's all my fault. ”

He only now understood that all her worries and worries were not groundless.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" he repeated over and over again.

She doesn't want him to be sorry, she doesn't. At this point, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong.

Meng Xilan had already exhausted the last bit of strength in her body, she couldn't support it anymore, and leaned her head back to the embrace behind her.

Before losing consciousness, Meng Xilan looked up at the sky above her head, full of stars, bright and bright. She closed her eyes reluctantly, hoping that this was not the last thing she would ever see in her life.

Zhou Youchen saw her faint, and hurriedly picked her up from the ground, turned over on the horse, and took her back to the palace. However, in her arms, her body was as cold as ice, and she couldn't cover it warmly.
