Li Jinyu led the soldiers to travel for two days in a row, and arrived at Tongshan one day ahead of schedule.

"Leave 5,000 men here and lay an ambush carefully. After the rest of the people have rested, they will go to Dingkang with me tomorrow. Nightshade, nothing can go wrong here. ”

"Yes, lord."

On the second day, Li Jinyu took people to the trail and went to Dingkang.

"Bring me the generals who will defend the city in Dingkang." When he arrived in Dingkang, the first thing Li Jinyu did was to take Dingkang's forces into his own hands first.

"Lord Wang." The defender of the city is called He Youjun, a veteran, but he has a broken hand, and now he has come to Shoudingkang to support the elderly. He held a roster of soldiers in the city in his hand, and handed it over when he saw Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu took it, looked through it briefly, and asked some things in the city before sending He Youjun there.

Today is the first day of the fifth month of May, and although the letter says that it is the fifth day of May, Li Jinyu knows that Si Jiayi will definitely send troops in advance. There is no offense and defense in Jingyang, it is not enough at all, how to fight this battle?

On the second day of the fifth month, Li Jinyu received a secret letter from Sha Luxe, and learned from it that Si Jiayi had mobilized a large number of troops to Jingyang since yesterday, and at the same time, he divided several teams to go to Qiguan, Xincheng, and Qingjiang. And Pingguan, Tongshan and Jinzhong did not move at all. Li Jinyu calculated the time, and within tomorrow, Si Jiayi would start attacking.

Li Jinyu called He Youjun and asked him to send someone to withdraw half of Jingyang's people, and at the same time brought a thousand people to ambush Jingyang on the way to Dingkang. He Youjun received the order and was about to leave, but was called back by Li Jinyu: "It's still a little early at the moment, and I'll go when it's dark." ”

"Yes."

Tang Qianyi just lay down when she heard a noisy sound outside, she quickly got up and walked outside. Through the courtyard gate, she saw people outside hurrying by, some of the little eunuchs were carrying buckets in their hands, and they were in a hurry, and a lot of water was spilled out of the buckets. She also wanted to ask what happened, but the guard at the gate of the courtyard stretched out his hand to block her, and Tang Qianyi had to give up. He stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched the people running around the door, and the water that had been sprinkled had completely wet the road at the door, bringing some mud, and the corners of the skirts of the people who ran past were covered with mud.

After walking the water, Tang Qianyi looked at it for a while, and looked in the direction where everyone ran, it was the direction of the Ruyi Pavilion, where the concubine lived.

Tired of seeing, Tang Qianyi closed the courtyard door and took out some letters written a few days ago. The first letter was addressed to Li Jinyu.

Jinyu, see Xin'an. I was very good in the palace, and neither the queen mother nor the emperor embarrassed me, but only forbade my feet. This yard is really boring, and the few maids who follow me never speak, and no matter what I ask, they will not reply to me. It's really boring.

Last night, I dreamed of you, are you calling me? I couldn't really hear it, and then I woke up again. Are you sleeping well in Northern Xinjiang, you shouldn't have arrived in Northern Xinjiang at this time, so where are you now? Are you alright?

Jinyu, I want to apologize to you, the first time I came to the mansion, I said that you were using me, and I didn't listen to you explain later. Perhaps, I should have listened to you.

Jinyu ......

Tang Qianyi read the letter she wrote and laughed a little. This letter is really incoherent, saying that it is a letter, it is better to say that it is a fragmented thought, chattering, but it is also laughing and generous, fortunately Li Jinyu didn't see it. Thinking about it, she placed the letter on the dancing candle flame and watched it fade to ashes.

The noise outside gradually subsided, and Tang Qianyi climbed into bed, closed her eyes but couldn't sleep for a long time.

The fire in the Ruyi Pavilion was extinguished, and it was already the second watch. The concubines who lived around all went to rest elsewhere, but Concubine Ru insisted on staying there, looking at the fire in the sky, she smiled stupidly.

"Burn, burn, burn this Donglai country. This fire will also burn on you. Just look, everything will be reduced to ashes. It's really good, there's nothing, I'm no longer anyone's concubine, I'm no longer anyone's daughter, it's all nothingness, it's all an illusion......"

Concubine Ru is Kong Yuan's daughter Kong Nian, since entering the palace, she has been very favored, and in less than a year, she reached the position of concubine and gave the word Ru.

was still full of nonsense, and Zhou rushed to immediately ask the eunuch to cover her mouth. An older eunuch stepped forward and was slapped hard by Kong Nian. Zhou's face turned red with anger, and he pointed to a few eunuchs. It took four or five people to clamp Kong Nian tightly, and one of them brought a ball of white cloth and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's crazy." Zhou waved his hand again and again, turned his face away, and didn't want to see her for a moment.

Kong Nian was hanged from the beams of the house. The palace people brought her food, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Kong Nian hanging directly on it, her face turned pale with fright, and she ran out tremblingly and called someone to come.

Kong Nian is self-deprecating, a great sin. Li Qingcang only asked Kong Yuan to be notified and asked him to collect the body.

When Kong Yuan heard the news from the palace, he was very sad for a while, his heart was cramping, he wanted to squeeze out some tears, but there was nothing. He closed his eyes and said, "Nian'er, how are you?"

In order to take care of Kong Nian's safety, he sent someone to inform him of the rebellion the day before yesterday. Unexpectedly, this is the case, and it hurt her. I still don't understand her after all. He thought that sending her to the palace was to fulfill her wish, but he didn't expect it to become her resentment.

He remembered the day she was sent to the palace, she smiled and looked forward to it, her eyes were full of joy, yes, it was her brother Qingcang who had been studying for seven years, how could she not be happy. She said to herself, "Father, I have become a beauty." She said to herself, Father, I have become Shuyi, and she said to herself, Father, I am a concubine. Her status is getting more and more noble, but her speech is becoming more and more indifferent. Nian'er, for your father, it chills you.

He raised his head, collected his expression, called his entourage, and raised his troops!

Outside the palace walls, there are dense soldiers, and inside the palace walls, there are panicked and busy palace people. Kong Yuan wore a red robe in this black and oppressive team, which looked very dazzling. He was waiting, waiting for the palace door to open.

is also waiting, and Li Jinyu, who is waiting for Si Jiayi in front. The informant came to report that Scarlett had indeed attacked from Jingyang and was now heading in the direction of Dingkang.

He Youjun lay on the ground with his ears on the ground, judging the time of this action according to the sound and vibration that came.

One more kilometer......

800 meters......

500 meters......

300 meters......

He Youjun raised one of his arms, which had no palm, and signaled the people below to be ready at any time.

When he finally saw Scarlett's men, he held his breath and waited for his moment.

"Kill ......" everyone shouted a word, and every word was bloody.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the army, Scarlett immediately reined in the horse under his crotch and stopped, he looked at it fixedly, and roughly calculated, but there were only about a thousand people.

He Youjun recognized Si Jiayi, and captured the thief first to capture the king, he threw out the gun in his hand with one hand, but he didn't expect Si Jiayi to dodge with a shake of his head. He clamped the horse under his crotch and rode towards Scarlett. picked up the gun on the side and stabbed at him, Scarlett Yi reacted quickly, and with a block, he saved the day. The two fought, however, in less than a stick of incense, He Youjun fell behind. Si Jiayi slashed forward again, right on He Youjun's left arm, and he endured the pain against Si Jiayi's strength and pulled it out.

Compared with the 100,000 people of Scarlett, it is naturally a mantis arm. However, it was these 1,000 people, again and again, blocking Scarlett's advance, and some of them, having one arm cut off, fought the enemy with the other. These 1,000 people are all soldiers who defend the city of Dingkang, and when they leave Dingkang City, they regard death as home.

Even if they can't kill these Beicang children back to their grassland hometown, they can let a few more people die and not enter Dingkang City, it is not a disgrace to their mission. Fathers and fellow villagers, see you after 18 years!

It was calm again, Scarlett's army had long since left, and it was the thousand soldiers who remained here forever. A crow flew in the distance, "Wow~Wow~" pierced the silent sky. The sky was lonely, but the ground was like hell, and thousands of corpses lay there in all directions, rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
