At the same time, the Northwest Army led by Zhang Han was also defeated and retreated under the blows of the Qin army led by Sima Cuo and others, and retreated to Yumen Pass, where Zhang Han could only rely on the danger of Yumen Pass to resist the Qin army.

Chen Xiang's army tent in the northwest side of the battle reports and letters for help came one after another, Chen Xiang could only send Wu Zixu to lead troops to reinforce, at this time only Chen Xiang was left under Xianyang City to fight alone.

But even so, Chen Xiang's troops still had 500,000 people, both in terms of soldiers and equipment, far surpassing the Qin army defending the city. If it weren't for the fact that the Qin army now had the veteran Wang Jian under the command, and the morale was high, it would have been easy for Chen Xiang to take Xianyang.

Among the two war gods of the Qin army, Bai Qi is good at attacking, and Wang Jian is good at defending, and he really lives up to his reputation. Xianyang City, which was already in danger, turned into an impregnable fortress overnight.

Wang Jian mobilized the people in the city to form a backup team to help the Qin army transport food, weapons and wounded, and also prepared a large number of thunder stones and rolling wood and other equipment to defend the city. In addition, Wang Jian also ordered the soldiers to water the city wall, it was the cold winter season, the water froze when it was cold, and countless ice blades grew on the city wall, and at the same time, the city wall became slippery and unclimbable, which brought great trouble to Chen Xiang's siege troops.

After several days of siege, the Chinese army suffered heavy losses but made no progress. At this time, the battle on the eastern and northwest fronts was also in a stalemate, once the Qin army broke through, the Chinese army would fall into the encirclement of the Qin army, so Chen Xiang must take Xianyang as soon as possible. The Hua army and the Qin army are engaged in a race against time and patience.

The moonlight on the winter night is exceptionally transparent and bright, and the bright moonlight pours down, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort to people in the cold night.

At this time, Zhao Ji was sitting in Huayang Palace staring at the sky blankly, she had been confined here for a long time, and no one was allowed to enter, completely cutting off her contact with the outside world. Therefore, she had no idea what was happening outside during this time, but she already had a faint feeling in her heart that her brother Ji Kang should not be having a good time now.

"Whew......." A brilliant and colorful fireworks suddenly rose in the quiet night sky, wasn't that the colorful fireworks that Brother Ji Kang specially made for her in Wushan back then? Zhao Ji suddenly burst into tears, and the scenes of the year clearly appeared in front of her eyes.

"Not good......." Zhao Ji suddenly screamed after a short period of obsession. She remembered that Ji Kang had told her that if there was an emergency in the future and all the news channels were closed, he would use this special colorful fireworks to warn her.

A gust of cold wind blew, Zhao Ji couldn't help but shiver, she could no longer control the strong sense of foreboding in her heart, and tears of despair burst out of her eyes like bursting embankments.

Brother Ji Kang, you have to hold on, Sister Wang is incompetent, and when you need me the most, I can't do anything. No, even if I Xia Ji fights for my life, I have to fight hard for Brother Ji Kang, even if I fail, I will definitely die before Brother Wang.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji resolutely took out a broken intestine pill. This pill is actually made by Zhao Ji specifically for extorting confessions, although people who take this pill will not die, but if there is no antidote, it will make your liver and intestines broken, and the pain will not be desired.

"Come on, help, the queen is dying." Looking at Zhao Ji who was struggling in pain on the ground, the palace maid screamed again and again, so frightened that Meng Wu hurriedly led his troops to break in.

Seeing the queen's tragic situation, Meng Wu stepped forward to investigate carefully. I saw Zhao Ji clutching her stomach in pain and rolling on the ground, blood gushing out of her mouth, smearing the entire Huayang Palace ground with blood. Meng Wu was shocked in his heart, there were no special signs a few days ago, why did he suddenly fall ill today.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard Zhao Ji pleading in an extremely hoarse voice: "The guilty concubine knows that she is guilty, and it is not good to get this strange disease, I just ask the general for mercy and let me see the king for the last time." After speaking, he held Meng Wu tightly with his bloody hands. Seeing this situation, Meng Wu had time to think about it and hurriedly sent someone to report to the King of Qin.

When King Qin heard the news, he hurriedly rushed to Huayang Palace. Wang Jian had already explained to Meng Wu before he set out on the expedition, even the King of Qin could not enter and leave Huayang Palace freely, but in fact, if the King of Qin wanted to forcibly enter, who would dare to stop him? Besides, this time the situation was urgent, and the guards of Huayang Palace were ordered by Meng Wu to let them go all the way, and nothing unpleasant happened during this period.

When he came to Huayang Palace, he saw that Zhao Ji who was lying on the ground at this time was already dying, King Qin burst into tears, hugged Zhao Ji and cried: "Queen, what's wrong?" It's really painful to kill this king. ”

When Zhao Ji heard King Qin's voice, he slowly woke up and prayed in an extremely weak voice: "The concubine is seriously ill, and she knows that her time is numbered, and I hope that the king will have mercy and let the concubine finally see my poor Kang'er."

The king of Qin couldn't cry for a long time when he heard this, so he immediately agreed, so he said loudly to Meng Wu: "The queen is critically ill, and this king now wants to take her to see the prince for the last time, and he wants to ask General Meng to lead the troops to protect him."

When Meng Wu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The king has an order, and the last general will not dare to disobey, but General Wang specially instructed before leaving, the queen is suspected of tampering with the country, and she must not take half a step out of Huayang Palace."

King Qin immediately reprimanded angrily: "You said that the queen made the country, and I was afraid that she would go out and make waves, so now that the king is personally accompanying and keeping an eye on the queen for you all the time, are you still not at ease?" Could it be that you still doubt that this king will not succeed? ”

Meng Wu hurriedly kowtowed, and said timidly: "The last general will not dare, the last general should die." King Qin pulled out his long sword and roared angrily: "This king wants to leave the palace now, and those who dare to stop him will be killed." After speaking, King Qin picked up Zhao Ji on his back, held Zhao Ji in one hand, held a long sword in the other, and slowly walked out of Huayang Palace.
