Chapter 34: The Siege of the Capital
The strict armament made it more difficult to enter and exit the capital, and two checkpoints were set up at the gate of the city, and both entry and exit were subject to two inspections, each of which was very careful. It is not a problem for Xi Ning and Miao Ren to fly by, Dongfang Yue, Lore Kill and others, and if others want to enter the city, they must enter through the city gate. This would not have been possible without the response of the city.
The walls of the capital are no thicker and twice as tall than other small cities, just because it is the last fortress of a country. What flashed in Xi Ning's mind was the picture of a hundred miles of pride, and his reluctance and worry were so obvious. That day, she saw Qianao standing alone under this city wall, looking at their eyes, she was so sad, if it weren't for the child, maybe Qianao would follow her to the north. She couldn't help but ask herself, "Why didn't you take him with you that day?" ”
Dongfang Yue glanced at Xi Ning, who was absent-minded, carefully protected on one side, and checked the patrol by the way. According to the observations along the way, I am afraid that this city guard is also the prime minister's person.
After Xi Ning and the others entered the city, they went straight to the prince's mansion. Under the cover of night, it is easy to enter the house. Xi Ning was more familiar with the situation in the house, and she took a few people to Ethan's residence.
"Little fox, you and the others are waiting here, I'll go in and check on the situation!" Seeing that the others nodded in agreement, Xi Ning didn't stay longer, she dodged those who were hidden in the dark, and without them noticing, she quickly flew over the rockery, treading water and came to the small building in the center of the lake. Silently flew up, went directly to the third floor, and entered through the window.
"Who?" Ethan, who was asleep, suddenly woke up and sat up straight, trying to feel the breath of the person in the darkness to find his bearings. In the silence of the night, Xi Ning saw clearly the people who were thinking day and night through the moonlight. Looking at Ethan's bulging abdomen, she couldn't believe her eyes, although she knew that a man could conceive, but the shock she saw with her own eyes was not light, and the child was still her own.
"Yi'er!" Xi Ning walked out of the darkness, and the moonlight shone faintly from behind her, depicting Xi Ning's soft curves vividly and exquisitely. Ethan had already determined at a glance that it was his Ning'er who had returned. All his fears instantly turned into tenderness, and his hands unconsciously gently comforted the frightened child in his body.
Xi Ning gently grabbed his shoulders and took a deep breath of Ethan's unique bamboo leaves.
Lovesickness is a disease of two people, different from other diseases, when two people who suffer from lovesickness meet, it will be more painful than when they think alone. It is a pain of a heart being stitched together, a sadness of wanting to cry and laugh, and a satisfaction of blood blending.
"Ning'er, are you back? I'm sorry! I didn't protect Qianao and the child! Ethan's heart was filled with self-blame, and every time he thought about it, he felt tormented.
"Yi'er, as long as you're okay! I'll get them back! Just take care of yourself! Xi Ning looked at Ethan in front of him by the moonlight, put down his worries all the way, and gently hugged Ethan.
Miao Ren and the others were taken into the second floor by Xi Ning, which was a small reception area.
Dongfang Yue looked at Ethan's stomach for a long time. That's Xi Ning's child, they already have a child! He suddenly had a feeling that he was getting farther and farther away from Xi Ning, and this realization made him panic.
Miao Ren didn't have a big reaction when he glanced at it, he knew that sooner or later he would leave an heir to Xi Ning, it was only a matter of time.
"Yi'er, why isn't Weilong Weihu by your side? How many of those hidden guards are there in this mansion? ”
Ethan's slightly hesitant eyes flashed, Xi Ning didn't notice that she was studying the battle situation and estimating the chances of victory. This tight defense is not easy to break, and it is even more important to consider that if Qianao is in their hands, can this unfavorable game be won?
"It's... I sent them out to look for someone, and there is no news from Qianao and Xiaoyu, so I can't rest assured! Ethan finally told the truth.
"You sent them out? Who's going to protect you? If something happens to you, how do you tell me to live? You're so mad at me! Xi Ning thought of the tension he felt when he broke into his bedroom, holding his stomach with one hand, and it wouldn't be like this if the two of them were there.
Ethan knew that Xi Ning would be angry, and he had confessed like that at the beginning, he couldn't let the two of them leave his side at the same time.
"Ning'er, don't be angry! There are sixty guards in the palace, and there will be no danger. ”
"Didn't I come in? Did they find out? If the enemy enters as easily as I do, have you ever thought about the consequences? Xi Ning turned his eyes to Ethan's eyes, and Ethan saw worry, distress, and fear in her eyes.
"Xiao Xi, don't be angry! The top priority is to find someone first, you can discuss this matter later, and don't frighten the baby in Brother Yi's womb with your appearance! Miao Ren stepped forward with a smile and said.
Dongfang Yue silently looked at their worried appearance for each other, and looked at Xi Ning's angry expression. His heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, looking at Miao Ren's smiling peach blossom eyes enviously, and he couldn't help but ask in his heart: Why can't I dissuade like Miao Ren? Why can Miao Ren do it so easily?
Xi Ning held the water cup in his hand, Shui Ling's big eyes stared in a certain direction, the water cup rotated in circles with the jump of his fingers, the room fell into dead silence, and everyone was up and down in their own hearts.
"Yi'er, who is the city guard of the capital?" Xi Ning put down the water glass and looked at Ethan with watery eyes.
As Xi Ning broke the silence, everyone looked at Ethan, waiting for what Xi Ning would do next?
For the battle situation at this time, Dongfang Yue knows best what the victory or defeat will be. Dongfang such as 100,000 soldiers and horses guarded outside the city, the city guard in the city still rebelled, the Jingzhong Jinyi guard was Wei Hongyu's person, the empress was under house arrest, and the family of Ning Wangfu was in the hands of Wei Hongyu. You don't need to think about it to know that 3,000 well-trained soldiers against 100,000 male soldiers is like hitting a stone with an egg. This time, no matter what you do, you will lose!
"The city guard is Bang Ke, a native of Linyuan, West China, and she was the champion of martial arts three years ago. is upright and does not cling to power, why did he take refuge in Wei Hongyu this time, I can't understand it for a long time. Ethan sat up straight and moved slightly, changing his posture slightly.
"Lore, go get a cushion!" After Xi Ning finished speaking, he was silent again, and his index finger drew circles with the tea sprinkled on the sandalwood table.
Lore brought a cushion from the third floor and handed it to Xi Ning. Xi Ning got up and came to Ethan's side, Ethan got up and smiled knowingly, took the cushion in Xi Ning's hand and put it under his buttocks.
Xi Ning returned to his position and sat down, his fingers tapped on the sandalwood table, and suddenly said, "Lore, you find a disguise master to change Nabangke!" Can it be done? ”
"It just so happens that Seventeen is a good disguiser, this matter is not difficult!" Lore replied in time.
"Good! If Nabang can resist, it will be solved directly, but if it is the opposite, it is more cooperative, keep it for the time being! You can do it overnight! Xi Ning stopped knocking on the table, clasped his fingers together, and gently rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb.
