High benefits came back a day later than the agreed time. However, he brought good news to both the emperor and Tudu.

The palace is lax, as long as it can capture the city gate and rescue the mother, it is easy to do so. And most of the guards outside the Chu family were also removed.

Chu Jingchuan's advantage of sitting in the capital will soon become his disadvantage. No matter how strong the city gate is, as long as the emperor and Tu Du join forces to attack, as long as they break through one place, they can easily destroy Chu Jingchuan's defense line.

Once the city gate was breached, Chu Jingchuan's advantage would become a disadvantage, and his forces would be scattered in the four directions of the capital. How can the scattered forces restrain the Turkic cavalry.

Zhou Youchen and Tu Du, although they are both for themselves, they have a common enemy.

Zhou Youchen had 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and Tu Du's men had 5,000 men, and they were ready to use all their forces to capture the capital in one fell swoop.

Without a doubt, night raids are the best. Under the cover of night, the Turkic cavalry could easily find cover for the assault on the city gates.

The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, this is the best opportunity.

The two agreed to act on the second watch on the eleventh day, and Gao Fuli would take another team of people in advance to sneak into the capital from the secret passage and go straight to the palace.

The war was about to break out, and Zhou Youchen's heart was as heavy as iron, and he was bound to take the capital in one go, and completely wash away the shame that Chu Jingchuan brought to himself and the Zhou royal family.

After nightfall, he had been wiping his long sword, his rough fingertips gently rubbing the blade, and there was only one thing on his mind.

That's how to kill Chu Jingchuan with this sword with his own hands!

On this night, dark clouds obscured the moon and the stars dimmed.

Tu Du and his cavalry emerged from the lifeless darkness, startling the guards of the northern city into distraction.

They kept shouting loudly, and in a language they could not even hear, they fought violently within a hundred meters of the city gates, and then fired their bows and arrows.

The arrows were wrapped in lit tarpaulin, and wherever they fell, they could ignite fires.

The archers at the gates also responded with rockets, but their bows and arrows were limited and could not last long.

After Chu Jingchuan blockaded the capital, the consumption of armaments increased greatly, but he did not find supplies for a long time, so under Zhou Youchen's attacks again and again, Chu Jingchuan's defense, which was comparable to the "copper wall", gradually appeared loopholes and flaws.

Zhou Youchen and Tu Du's plan is the same as last time, the soldiers are divided into two ways.

The two city gates in the northwest became precarious for a while.

Chu Jingchuan ordered his generals to defend at all costs, however, the situation on both sides was getting worse and worse, and the north gate was repeatedly in an emergency.

Chu Jingchuan was ready to go into battle in person, showing that he wanted to compete with Zhou Youchen to win or lose. Once they were kings and ministers, but now they are enemies in a life-and-death contest.

Zhou Youchen had expected that he would come to fight in person, he rode his horse to the front of the battle, raised his long sword, and shouted at Chu Jingchuan on the city gate: "Chu Jingchuan! Today is your day of death! You plotted treason and insulted the century-old reputation of the Chu family! You! Sin deserves death! ”

Chu Jingchuan looked at him condescendingly and smiled coldly: "With a faint monarch like you in charge, where can there be any loyal ministers?" Zhou Youchen, you are not worthy of being the emperor of Beiyan, you despicable villain! ”

Zhou Youchen led the black-pressed army to approach step by step, and in an instant, the sharp bow and arrow shot straight down like a rainstorm from the sky.

Zhou Youchen's army had already prepared, and used shields to form a phalanx to block the rain of arrows that killed every step.

Under countless impacts and attacks, the city gate was already crumbling.

It seems that before dawn, Zhou Youchen will be able to take this gate and rush into the capital.

At the same time, the progress on the Tudu side is also fast, and his men are all sharpshooters, and they can easily shoot down the enemy in high places.

Chu Jingchuan, who was attacked by the enemy on his back and back, stuck in one place and vowed to fight to the death in Zhou Youchen.

He and him will finally have a break, for the sake of the Chu family and for Meng Xilan.

……

In the early hours of the morning, there was a sudden agitation in the palace, and those guards withdrew one after another, wave after wave.

A lot of people were shouting outside: "It's going to be a fight, it's going to be a fight." The emperor's army has entered the city. ”

The people outside were shouting everywhere, but Meng Xilan was telling the people in Cining Palace not to act rashly, let alone leave Cining Palace for half a step.

Right now, this is the safest place to be.

Meng Xilan sank her heart and quietly waited for the news outside.

There was a dead silence in the side hall, and it was clear that there were people in the room, but no one dared to make a sound.

Footsteps outside rang out in a hurry, and then vanished away.

Meng Xilan clenched her hands, only to feel that this was the most torturous moment in her life.

After a while, the guards who had been withdrawn from the gate hurried back, and they rushed in all the way, as if they had come with bad intentions.

When the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard saw them, they all picked up their weapons and rushed forward. Who knows, those guards killed people when they saw them, and they didn't appreciate it, but in a matter of moments, they killed the people in the courtyard cleanly.

Koharuko hid behind the door, looking at the corpse in that place, and couldn't help but tremble with fear.

He staggered to his master's side, and only said, "Niangniang is not good, those people outside seem to be red-eyed." They ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the guards who had come with their swords rushed in.

They stared at Meng Xilan with scarlet eyes and came straight to Meng Xilan.

Although Koharuko's legs were weak with fright, she still rushed to her master and stopped them; "What are you going to do? Don't be rude in front of the queen again! ”

Those people don't care who he is, they have to cut it when they wield a knife.

Meng Xilan immediately said loudly: "Don't touch him!" By whose command did you come? ”

The moment they saw Meng Xilan, the eyes of those people changed suddenly.

They rushed over, and brutally and savagely Meng Xilan brought out the side hall.

Baozhu and Xiao Chunzi chased after them, but Meng Xilan turned around to stop them: "You stay." ”

They must be Chu Jingchuan's people. Maybe Chu Jingchuan saw that the situation had changed, so he sent someone to take her away.

It's not impossible.

Chu Jingchuan is not only a lonely and brainless person, he must have thought of a way out for himself.

Meng Xilan was stuffed into a carriage, followed by a bumpy road, and she had to firmly grasp the curtain in the carriage with both hands to avoid injuring herself in the rickety carriage.

Danger may be imminent, but she still has to protect herself. She also had to save her life to see the prince and her children.

The moment the carriage stopped, Meng Xilan knew where she had been sent.

This is the West City Gate.

Although she was far away, she could still hear the sound of soldiers fighting in her ears.

"Let's go!" A guard with panic on his face stepped forward and grabbed her by the arm and led her in the direction of the city gate.

Meng Xilan couldn't react for a while, and almost didn't fall to the ground.

She raised her eyes to look at the city gate, which was surrounded by crowds, and faintly heard someone shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up!" I can't hold it! ”

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this, and she suddenly understood in her heart.

The person outside the city is Zhou Youchen, and he is about to capture this city gate.

It's just that at this moment, why was she brought here?

Chu Jingchuan furrowed his brows, looking at the city gate that was about to be broken through, his cold face was full of murder.

At the moment, he had no arrows to shoot. Or, he directly led his troops to open the city gate and took the initiative to meet Zhou Youchen. Or, he braked with silence and watched as he breached the gates.

He never expected that Zhou Youchen would join forces with Tu Du!

In fact, he had already exhausted the troops in Zhou Youchen's hands, if it weren't for Tudu halfway out, his defense of the capital would still be as stable as Mount Tai!

Now that he is under attack on his back, what should he do? And how to prevent it?

A sudden report came from behind him: "General, Niangniang has brought it." ”

Chu Jingchuan didn't take his eyes off when he heard this, but just waved his hand and said, "Let her come up." ”

At this time, he would not leave her in the palace.

Meng Xilan was taken to the high city gate tower, the cold wind was bitter, but she didn't even have a cloak to protect her from the cold.

Meng Xilan stood trembling in the cold wind, looked down, and saw that outside the city was a large black army, they were attacking the city gate with chariots.

Chu Jingchuan turned to look at her, looked at her for a while, and then said quietly: "Your faint monarch is back!" ”

Meng Xilan couldn't see the faces of those people, but she could recognize the scarlet cloak that was flying in the wind.

It was sewn by her own hands for Zhou Youchen, and when she was leaving, she also tied it for him with her own hands.

She was full of anxiety at that time, and told him to come back as soon as possible. And he obviously promised her, but in the end he lost his word.

Chu Jingchuan saw her staring at somewhere, and suddenly smiled coldly: "You see him." ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows, slowly lowered her head, tried her best to hold back the tears that were about to fall, and said in a trembling voice: "You can't win him." ”

Chu Jingchuan's expression changed when he heard this, and he glared at her and said, "No, he can't win me!" ”

He knew that she hadn't completely given up! Perhaps, she has been looking forward to Zhou Youchen coming back.

Meng Xilan said in a trembling voice: "The emperor has the help of the Turks, how can you win if you are attacked by the enemy on your back?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Chu Jingchuan's face was almost distorted, and the whole person, the whole face, looked so hateful.

Turns out she knows everything! She also knew what was going on outside the city......

"Meng Xilan!" Chu Jingchuan once again felt betrayal from her! "You know everything? You've been lying to me! ”

Perhaps, Wei Feng was right, she really had been planning something for Zhou Youchen in the capital all along, and she also found a way to cooperate with them.

Meng Xilan looked at the sharp killing intent in his eyes, and begged him almost in a pleading tone: "Jingchuan, it's all over here." If you give up now, maybe everything will turn around...... You still have relatives, you still have sons......"

His arrogance hurt him, he thought that everything would not be variable, he thought that Zhou Youchen would be timid and dare not let go......
