Clear Stream City.

The first month has not passed, and the night wind is still a little cold.

Xue Guangli was in the city tower, looking at the direction of Jinling from afar.

A man over forty years old, although he is in a high position, has experienced the grief of his daughter's disfigurement and his son's broken hand in the past two years, and his elegant face looks old and haggard.

He stared at the undulating mountains in the sky, and said word by word: "Xiao Tingchen......"

A guard rushed over and bowed his hand respectfully to him, "As the general expected, Luo Lishang and Xiao Weihua really entered the underground water system with 150,000 soldiers and horses, and now they are coming in the direction of Liucheng. ”

Xue Guang smiled cruelly.

Brushing his fingertips over the bag hanging from his waist, he said, "It's the emperor's clever calculation." Pass my order, wait for Luo Lishang and them to enter the middle of the river system, and the upper reaches will be ready to open the sluice gate and release water at any time. and send another 100,000 troops out of the city, and surround and suppress the 50,000 troops they were stationed outside the city. ”

"Yes!"

After the guards left, Xue Guang stared fiercely at the distant Jinling City, "Xiao Tingchen, I want your entire army to be wiped out, and there is no return!" ”

The underground river system is long and meandering.

Countless torches lit up the ground, and Luo Li took the lead, riding a horse and walking gracefully towards the end.

Xiao Weihua followed behind her and said lightly: "How long do you have to go?" ”

"We'll have to walk for half an hour." Luo Lishang glanced back at him, smiling playfully, "Scared?" ”

The young man's face was grim, "I have been fighting with the emperor for many years, and I have been to a place a hundred times more dangerous than here, and I have never been afraid. ”

Luo Lishang smiled.

The ground was muddy, and after walking a little longer, Luo Lishang caught a glimpse of lush plants growing on the walls of the cave.

In late winter and early spring, the temperature is always high underground, and the plants bloom carmine wildflowers in the dark environment, which are very beautiful and beautiful.

There was a touch of warmth in her eyes, and she picked a few branches at random.

Xiao Weihua's face was cold, "I thought that Sister Luo was a man with a male temperament and didn't like flowers and powder, but I didn't expect that she still retained her daughter's love for beauty." ”

"These flowers are so beautiful, so naturally they should be given to beauties." Luo Lishang laughed, "I thought, it should be very suitable in his ready-to-wear shop." ”

Xiao Weihua couldn't help but look at her more.

He had heard something about her and Hua Rourou.

I thought it was just her acting on the spot, but I didn't expect it to be sincere......

The corners of his mouth curled, and he continued to beat his horse forward without moving.

After another quarter of an hour, Xiao Weihua suddenly grabbed the reins, "Did you hear any strange sounds?" ”

"What's the strange sound?" Luo Lishang raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Weihua motioned for the whole army to stop, leaned over the cave wall and listened carefully, and suddenly changed his face!

He turned back and screamed the order: "Retreat, the whole army retreat!" ”

The 150,000 soldiers and horses looked at each other, but they did not dare to disobey the military order, and turned around and retreated in an orderly manner.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing here?" Luo Lishang was puzzled.

A man who has always been calm, sweating like rain at this moment.

He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat, and seeing that the endless army was retreating very slowly, he simply drew the long knife at his waist, and jumped to the top of the cave with light skill, and chiseled the hard dirt and stones with all his might.

Luo Lishang frowned.

Although this younger brother of the Xiao family is silent, he never jokes when he marches and fights.

Since he found an anomaly, there must be an anomaly.

She whistled and jumped up to help Xiao Weihua dig the top of the cave together.

Her cronies followed one after another, and for a while the entire underground river channel retreated, digging the top of the cave and digging the roof of the cave, and people were panicked, and no one knew what was about to happen.

Until there was a faint rumbling sound in the distance.

It is like the thunder of the beginning of spring, but it is far more terrifying than the thunder.

Everyone looked at each other.

By the time I realized what it was, it was too late.

The sudden flood was like the most ferocious beast in the world, sweeping the soldiers and horses into the raging river, and they didn't even have time to struggle!

Xiao Weihua was covered in cold sweat.

The sword rolled up, and the tiger's mouth bled out.

He dug the walls of the cave desperately, and a few moments before the flood came, he finally saw the light on the ground!

"Let's go!"

He roared and fled with the remnants of a dozen people.

Luo Lishang was still in a daze, and he held his wrist tightly and dragged him out of the ground.

Luo Lishang stood firm on the ground, and at a glance saw an ambush in all directions.

Her expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and the arrow in her sleeve shot out in an instant!

The assassin in ambush fell to the ground with an arrow, and the girl supported Xiao Weihua with one hand, jumped into the air, and the arrow in her sleeve flashed cold, shooting in all directions!

More than a dozen assassins fell under her arrows, and she stared at an army on horseback on the official road, and coldly ordered: "Xiao Weihua, take them away!" ”

Xiao Weihua and the others snatched the assassins' mounts and stretched out their hands towards Luo Lisheng, "Together!" ”

Luo Lishang smiled.

Glancing to the ground, the flood water spilling out of the ground, staining the dirt and her boots.

The 150,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, and only a dozen people remained.

She's a heinous sin!

She took out the flowers from her arms and handed them to Xiao Weihua, her eyes were tender like water, "Send them to his ready-to-wear shop for me." took his innocence, but never gave him anything...... Jiangnan has nothing, let's talk about giving a spring! ”

With that, she drew her saber and held it neatly in front of her.

It was she who underestimated the enemy.

So no matter what, even if she fights for this life, she should protect Xiao Weihua and leave safely!

Xiao Weihua was displeased, "Sister Luo-"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go! Xiao Fengxian is still waiting for you in Chang'an! ”

Luo Lisheng was full of murderous energy, pointing on her toes, and facing that army head-on!

Xiao Weihua closed her eyes.

After a moment, he immediately decided, "Go!" ”

Luo Lishang met the army of hundreds of people alone.

The night is like ink.

knew that he was going to die, but he didn't hesitate at all.

……

Jinling City.

Xiao Tingchen and Su Runmo sat side by side under the eaves.

The two were silent all night, until the east gradually floated white.

Su Runmo closed his eyes and said in a dumb voice: "Xue Guang can only talk on paper, and the emperor is far-sighted and resourceful, and the strategy of Qingliu City is probably from the emperor's handwriting." ”

Sikong Chen......

Xiao Tingchen thought of the old man, his eyebrows were as cold as a distant mountain.

He casually wiped the dew off his shoulders, "At this hour, it is time for the news of the defeat to come." ”

The words landed, and a fast horse jumped over the wall and landed steadily in the courtyard.

Xiao Weihua rolled off the horse, and he had never had a gray face.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt on one knee under the steps, his voice almost trembling:

"Xue Guang used the underground river to drown 150,000 brothers...... He also sent 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress the 50,000 troops stationed outside Qingliu City...... 200,000 troops, all annihilated...... The minister fled back to Jinling overnight...... Ask the emperor to surrender! ”

Xiao Tingchen looked at him quietly.

For a long time, his face was expressionless, "What about Luo Lishang?" ”

Xiao Weihua, who has always been stubborn and cold, suddenly shed tears.

Tremblingly, he took out a few flowers from his bosom and slowly placed them on the steps.

Then silently put his head to the ground.

It's the dawn.

The thin golden morning sun shines on the Jiangnan garden, and the blue tiles and white walls, pavilions and pavilions are all gentle.

The market is already lively.

Hua Rourou sat alone in the boudoir and combed her hair in the mirror.

In the mirror, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and he is still as delicate as a teenager.
