"This ...... That city...... Isn't it a castle?" "Under the cover of night, the castle tower is still brightly lit, imprinting the general outline of the entire city, and you can vaguely see the swaying and moving torches on the castle tower, as well as the slender and oblique figures passing by.

This city, leaning on the coast, is a low-lying and undulating city, which is not unfamiliar to the two brothers and sisters, and this is also the last city of the Qi Kingdom that they have devoted great efforts to protect - Huicheng.

Looking down, Feng Shanshan found that they were on the edge of the Hanhai outside the city, and two steps back was the rough waves of the Hanhai Sea.

"It turns out that the god of Hanhai sent us back here directly. Feng Shanshan looked at Huicheng quietly, now Huicheng should still be under the control of Qi State, and I don't know what the situation on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent is now after leaving for so long.

Feng Yu rushed over and grabbed his sister's soft palm, and said softly, "Let's go." ”

Feng Shanshan nodded lightly, and the two brothers and sisters took advantage of the night to walk side by side, and quickly ran towards the city not far away. At this time, the significance of Huicheng to them is no less than the bamboo forest where they have lived since childhood, no matter what, they will not give up, and they will definitely fight the dark army to the end.

......

Qi country, Huicheng.

This last fortress of the Qi State, under the auspices of Sun Hao and Luo Yinying, has been strengthened twice in a row. And in the city, a special means to defend against the special underground forces of the Dark Legion was deployed, and a water tank full of water was buried in the trench, so that no matter what movement occurred underground, the people in the city could know it relatively quickly in order to make a response strategy.

In the city, soldiers patrolled in batches day and night, and the dark legions did not launch large-scale attacks during these days, and even tentative attacks were rarely carried out. However, the soldiers of the Qi State did not slack off in the slightest because of this, and still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

The Dark Legion temporarily stopped attacking, and it was a rare opportunity for Sun Hao and Luo Yinying, who were now in charge of the Qi Kingdom, to breathe a sigh of relief. The two of them began to arrange some trivial matters.

Of course, there are still many problems that plague them now, such as the fact that the food in the city may not be enough to last this winter, and if the dark army continues to besiege the city, they will face the risk of running out of food. Moreover, gold and silver, all kinds of coins, whether copper plates or silver tickets, have been stocked, and the people in the city have more daily transactions, which are all bartering.

Economic, political, and military problems all have varying degrees, but now Sun Hao and Luo Yinying have no better way to solve them. If we continue to consume it in this way, I am afraid that we will face the risk of self-chaos without a war.

In addition, because the Dark Legion went south again, their original plan to find Xuan Lejun's wife and children, that is, Yun Guifei Xia Yun and her widow, was temporarily shelved, and now they don't know where their mother and son have gone. If they can't be found, even if the Dark Legion is defeated, the Qi Kingdom will face the crisis of no one to inherit.

At night, in the garden of the Governor's Mansion in Huicheng, by the lotus pond at the end of the corridor of the long pavilion, two figures sitting side by side on the stone bench face the lotus pond, the lotus flowers in the pond have already withered, and the slightly cold autumn breeze blows beside it, adding a little bit of gloomy atmosphere. Obviously, there are still more than ten guards and more than ten maids in this governor's palace, but near this lotus pond, it is particularly abrupt, so quiet that it is almost suffocating, as if even the sound of breathing can be heard.

Luo Yinying gently leaned on Sun Hao's arms, the pressure they have been under these days is far beyond the reach of people, and this pressure is not even from the dark army stationed outside, the situation inside the dark army is now not stable in many aspects, and there are even many troublesome chaos.

Most fundamentally, the consequences of food shortages are now very apparent. Just half a month ago, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying finally adopted the strategy of food rationing after discussing for a long time. But even if the strategy of food rationing is used, there are still some people who can't stabilize the rations at home, after all, they have to supply the soldiers and generals first, and even Sun Hao and Luo Yinying both took the initiative to eat coarse tea and light rice, and ate big pot rice with the soldiers.

These two current top generals of the Qi State have been unanimously recognized and praised by almost all the soldiers through their own ability and courage during this period of time. However, in the face of the most imminent food problem, the unity of the army and the full support of the people could not withstand the fatal problem of food shortage.

Because of the implementation of food rationing, after all, the number of people in the family is different, and it is difficult to achieve a complete balance. The daily ration is prepared, and there is a high risk that the grain removed from the barns will be unevenly distributed and insufficient. After all, some people's family members are sick or die, and they still have to be appropriately subsidized, and in this way, after a long time, some people who have not received enough food will inevitably become a little difficult to control their emotions.

Just two days ago, there were two riots in a row at the food ration point near the West Gate, and dozens of young men fought because of lack of food, although this riot was finally suppressed by Sun Hao himself. But even so, these two riots also made the situation in the already tense and suppressed city even more tense.

In the past two days, because they couldn't find a good way to deal with the current deteriorating situation, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying couldn't sleep peacefully for the past two days, their eyes were red and their hair was white, and even the internal power of the soul became uncontrollable because of the chaos in their bodies.

On a rare winter night in Xiaosuo, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying were wrapped in mink fur, Luo Yinying wore a white felt hat on her head, and she was wearing a pure white mink fur, this mink fur was still a treasure in a clothing store in the city, Luo Yinying had saved his only son, so the shopkeeper gave Luo Yinying this treasure of the town. Luo Yinying likes this pure white, soft and excellent brocade hat mink fur, which is said to be made of white fox fur in the snowy mountains.

In fact, as far as the soul cultivators are concerned, in fact, the internal power of the soul they possess is basically enough to help them resist the changes in the temperature of the surrounding environment, so the soul cultivators are actually not so sensitive to the changes in the temperature of the surrounding environment.

However, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying, because their lives were too disorderly in the past two days, as well as their worries and constraints, their internal forces became a little difficult to control, and even the use of internal forces of their souls would make their bodies stiff and even colder.

There is no choice, they can only wrap their clothes tightly and snuggle up to each other, they are too tired in these days, the old diseases that Luo Yinying once cured are now showing signs of recurrence, Sun Hao has persuaded her many times to put these down for the time being, and recuperate with peace of mind, can she be rejected by Luo Yinying.

"When the country is in danger, how can I pity my own body? If I fall, I must fall in my place, not lie on the bed and be a useless person. This is Luo Yinying's original words to refute what Sun Hao said, this time she was extremely firm and did not hesitate at all.

Sun Hao also knew that he didn't have the ability to persuade Luo Yinying to let go of these, not to mention that Luo Yinying had already spoken in such a tone, which could already be said to be a completely firm belief, how could he change it by persuasion?

However, since persuasion failed, Sun Hao was thinking about whether he could be drugged to let Luo Yinying sleep peacefully for a few days, even if the situation here might be completely different after waking up, or Luo Yinying might hate himself when he woke up, Sun Hao couldn't take care of it.

He only knew that Luo Yinying's old illness had recurred, and under the same disordered and unstable labor of the internal force of the soul, this relapsed illness was likely to become the last straw that crushed Luo Yinying. Every time he saw Luo Yinying unable to sleep at night, worried and sick, and getting thinner and thinner, Sun Hao's heart ached.

For him, Luo Yinying has been the most important person in his life since he was a teenager, he became an orphan after the death of his parents, left home alone to study art, and eventually grew up to become the current governor of Qi State, an important figure in his own right. From beginning to end, Luo Yinying has been the beacon that has always supported him to go hard, the smile and the soft words linger in his ears, which are his eyebrows and eyes that he can't forget, and the memories that can't be erased.

Sun Hao will not let Luo Yinying leave him again no matter what, he can't imagine what the future will be like without Luo Yinying, but he can be sure that he will inevitably be like walking alone in the dark, unable to find a direction and a goal.

In the lotus pavilion, the lotus flowers that have long withered and withered have added a bit of depression, accompanied by the cold wind of late autumn, and the feeling of coolness and coldness arises spontaneously.

Because of the recurrence of the old disease and the hard work day and night, Luo Yinying's already slightly pale face is now bloodless, and even seems to have lost its vitality.

In just a few days, Luo Yinying, who was once full of vitality and vitality, no longer exists, worrying about the future of Qi Guo makes her unable to eat and sleep, not only the internal force of the body and soul is disordered, but the old disease recurs, and at the same time, she is also mentally ill, and the whole person has lost weight.

Snuggled in Sun Hao's arms, the two sat side by side on the stone bench, looking at his lover's emaciated and painful appearance, Sun Hao's heart was like a knife, he gently hugged Luo Yinying, hugged him in his arms, and gently patted Luo Yinying's back with both hands, Sun Hao said softly: "Ying'er, here is me, you can sleep for a while." ”

Sounding like a whisper, Luo Yinying replied in a whisper, "No...... I can still hold on......"

On the stone round table in the center of the lotus pavilion, a cup of tea that is still warm is still circulating, and the other cup has been drunk.

Sun Hao knew that Luo Yinying might hate him if he did this, but he had really been forced to have no choice, so he had no choice but to make this decision.

Luo Yinying, who was drugged, finally couldn't resist the drug's urge to fall asleep, she buried her head in Sun Hao's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Sun Hao stood up and gently hugged Luo Yinying's body, not daring to use too much force between his fingers, for fear of hurting Luo Yinying.

The backyard of the Governor's Palace, which was once the residence of the Governor of Qi Capital City in the Governor's Mansion, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying succeeded as the Governor of the Huicheng, and this became their temporary residence.

Gently kicking open the door, Sun Hao carefully put Luo Yinying's body on the bed, took off her shoes and thick mink fur for her, and pulled the brocade quilt to cover the surroundings. Standing beside the bed, Sun Hao looked at the sleeping girl on the bed gently like water, and he leaned down gently, leaving a gentle kiss mark on Luo Yinying's forehead.

"Ying'er, a promise made ten years ago, will be fulfilled in this life. ”

Turning around, Sun Hao, who closed the door, gently exited the room, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell the two maids guarding the door, "If anything happens, report it to me immediately." ”

After receiving the maid's affirmative answer, Sun Hao walked towards the front hall of the Governor's Palace.

"Governor, it's not good, Governor!"
