Chapter 368: Rather than Broken Jade
Lan Jing'an involuntarily took a few steps back, leaned against the back wall of the cloud tower, and gasped for a long time before calming down. Only then did she feel that Yunlou was rapidly retreating in the direction away from the city wall. She was about to stop, but Yunlou had stopped. Now where she was was was far away from the city wall, she couldn't shoot at close range, and likewise, no Dayong's arrows could hurt her.
Lan Jingan leaned out of the cloud tower, and wanted to scold the little soldier who pushed the tower below, but saw that Xiao Qingyun was already riding on a tall horse, waiting under the cloud tower. She understood what Xiao Qingyun meant, sighed, and quickly climbed down from the top of the cloud tower.
Her face was not good-looking, and she opened her mouth with some difficulty: "I..."
"You did a good job, and you will make him pay for it with blood!" Xiao Qingyun quickly blocked her sentence "missed" in her chest.
Lan Jing'an was a little bored in his heart, looking at the people around Xiao Qingyun, and glanced at the city wall unwillingly, before he said, "Thank you Marshal for your compliment." ”
Xiao Qingyun asked Bi Luan to lead her horse over, and said solemnly: "The great commander has set an example for all of us in the army, and the cadres and soldiers are brave enough to follow the orders of the great commander." It's just that the status of the chief secretary is precious, and he cares about the cadres, so there is no reason why the chief commander is in front and we are behind. He also asked the chief secretary to give the generals an opportunity to let everyone show the majesty of the army. ”
Lan Jing'an leaned over Xiao Qingyun and said in a deep voice: "What the marshal said is extremely true, it is Lan Mou's thoughtlessness. After that, he turned over his horse and stood beside Xiao Qingyun, no longer competing for the lead.
At this time, another longbowman had already filled Lan Jing'an's position and went up to the cloud tower, which moved quickly again and rushed towards the city wall again.
Xiao Qingyun leaned back slightly, and said softly: "Don't think too much, it's too fast." ”
Lan Jing'an looked at the ladders and arrows flying all over the sky, and in his ears was the neighing of the earth-shaking war horses and the roar of killing, and nodded lightly for a long time. At this time, the dark color on the city wall has long since disappeared.
Just when the cloud building was moving rapidly, Yuwen Moyuan unexpectedly noticed the face of the morning and twilight again. She was so bold that she ran to the front line. He never knew that the woman who was soft from body to heart had such a strong side.
In the small arrow window, only her serious and slightly pale face was revealed, and there were bright arrows. Apparently, she was ready. Yuwen Moyuan suddenly remembered the two sentences written in blood on the wall when she left Mulan Garden: Yongjiang has a life, and blood will be repaid. When you say goodbye, take your life.
Is she going to be eager to fulfill her promise back then? In the past few years, it has often been heard that her arrows are not missing, and her superb archery skills are superb, and no one can beat her. Why didn't he find out back then? I don't know if she knows that it was he who shot her mother with his own hands twenty years ago, the woman who was noble and calm when she was dying.
Yuwen Moyuan laughed self-deprecatingly, what Lan Shuyuan said was really right, for the sake of the arrow back then, he really regretted it for the rest of his life. Now, it's almost time to finish. Yuwen Moyuan didn't call for guards, and he didn't even move his body at all, just looked at Lan Jing'an so fixedly. The scenes of her and him flashed back in his mind, and finally, his lips moved silently, and only the shape of her mouth showed her intimacy with him: "Lan'er~"
She let go, and he closed his eyes. counted to three, and before the sound of breaking the air in his ears, he was thrown to the ground by Zhou Qi. Yuwen Moyuan's ears were confused, and he opened his eyes, but he didn't see the arrow that was expected to pierce his body. Yuwen Moyuan was still in a daze, and Zhou Qi was shouting "Protect the Holy Driver", and he had already pulled him back quickly.
After a period of confusion, the soldiers on the city wall began to concentrate their forces again and frantically attacked the cloud tower. Yuwen Moyuan was in a state of panic, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "King Xiling, it's King Xiling who has fallen!" But soon, the sound of killing covered everything again, and no one had time to care about a dying prince.
The Dayong soldiers on the city wall knew that this was a critical juncture. In any case, for the sake of Dayong, for Emperor Yankang, who personally went to the head of the city, they could not give the cadres a chance even if they died. Even if there is only one person left, you must fight to the last moment!
At this moment, Zhou Qi couldn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and forcibly dragged Yuwen Moyuan down the dangerous city wall. Zhou Qi knew Yuwen Moyuan's mood, but he still begged him: "Your Majesty, please change your casual clothes and avoid it for the time being." Where there is life, there is hope. If the thief is so rampant, he will be damned. You can only see that day if you live well. ”
Yuwen Moyuan shook his head, looked at Zhou Qi, and said word by word: "My surname is Yuwen, although I have not been able to add glory to the Yuwen family, but I must not defile this surname again." Even if I die, I will die in this Yonghua City in front of all the people! ”
At this time, not only Zhou Qi, but other loyal people also came to beg Yuwen Moyuan. Yuwen Moyuan didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and insisted on his beliefs. The situation at Xi'an Gate was getting worse and worse, and General Zhong, who was guarding the gate, had to shout at Zhou Qi: "Take the emperor out of here!" ”
Zhou Qi desperately helped Yuwen Moyuan onto the horse and hugged him back to the palace. Yuwen Moyuan did not object, since he had no way to defend the country, then let him finally Xingle Palace, and it could be regarded as fulfilling his last responsibility as Emperor Dayong!
Time passed, and it was already past noon. For the soldiers guarding the city at the gate of Xi'an, every moment is long and desperate now. As for the cadres outside the Xi'an Gate, they were quick and anxious. This siege battle, counting from the beginning of the morning, has been going on for almost three hours.
"Newspaper ~ Xuanping door open ~ " As the scout reported loudly, Xiao Qingyun quickly glanced at Lan Jing'an and said loudly: "Okay!" "Guarding the Xuanping Gate are the guards of the North Palace, Ling Feng Xi, and Uncle Yiyong. It seems that either Gu Qishun has persuaded Feng Xi to surrender or killed him.
"Report ~ Qingming Gate Broken ~" It didn't take long for the next scout to continue to report. Qingming Gate is the closest city gate to Xuanping Gate, since Xuanping Gate is open, Qingming Gate naturally can't last long.
Although Xiao Qingyun still looked calm, a slight smile had already appeared on his lips. At this moment, a huge cheer erupted at the Xi'an Gate. Xiao Qingyun's smile gradually expanded, and he looked at Lan Jing'an, who still had a serious face, turned his head and looked straight ahead, waiting for the scout to report.
"Report ~ Xi'an Gate Broken ~" The scouts who came to report were trembling with joy in their voices.
"Good! Get ready to enter the city! Even without Xiao Qingyun's explanation, the army in front of them had already taken action and quickly prepared to welcome Xiao Qingyun into the city.
Lan Jing'an followed Xiao Qingyun's side, drinking the horse forward, at this time she had handed over the longbow on her body to Biluan, and like Xiao Qingyun, she had taken off her heavy armor and changed into her uniform. This time, they are not the boss, but the master, into Yonghua City, into Dayong!
An hour later, Xiao Qingyun took Lan Jing'an and the others to Xingle Palace. Along the way, there was not a single idle person on the road, all the cries were annihilated, and some only had a gradual "Welcome to my lord!" "Echo through the streets full of soldiers.
At that time, the gate of the outer palace of Xingle Palace was wide open, and Zheng Rong, Chen Yang, Lu Min, Jiang Shaoheng and others were already waiting there, and when they saw Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an appearing, they knelt on one knee with everyone brushing.
