Less than a quarter of an hour after the monsoon was announced, the raindrops fell sparsely.

Ning Yunxiao pinched her eyebrows, seeing that she was really going to be separated by the rain like this, she rested in the nunnery.

"Be careful, spread the rain cloth quickly." At this time, the man's shouts faintly sounded outside, and they came in.

"What's going on?" Ning Yunxiao asked, straightening his waist.

Qingzhu immediately lifted the curtain to look.

"Niangniang, there are a few carriages in front of you, it seems to be a vendor, the cart is probably loaded with goods, it can't be rained, people are busy spreading the tarpaulin, and the carriage stops." As she spoke, the guards outside reined in their horses, and the carriage quickly stopped.

Hearing this, Ning Yunxiao returned to the soft pillow.

"Niangniang didn't rely on her travel, these traders only regarded Niangniang as an official eunuch's family, but this battle is not something that ordinary eunuchs can have, and the vendor in front of her is making amends to the guards." Qingzhu continued, and sighed, "The rain cloth is laid, you can go." ”

The words fell, and sure enough, I heard the guards flick their whips and shout "drive", and the carriage drove again.

The car swayed and swayed, not much, but it made Ning Yunxiao feel a little sleepy, and he wanted to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, but the screaming voice of the accompanying palace maid suddenly sounded outside.

"There are bugs! There are bugs! The palace maid called.

Qingzhu immediately scolded, "In the mountains and wilds, there are a few insects that are so surprising and afraid of something!" ”

"No, sister!" The voice of the palace maid came in, with a crying voice, "There are many kinds, just one of them climbed on me without paying attention." ”

"Yes, yes!" The rest of the palace maids also said.

Ning Yunxiao wanted to lift the curtain to take a look, but heard the palace maid scream again, "Climb on top of the carriage!" ”

Ning Yunxiao paused, and immediately poked his head out to look down, only to see a small centipede with a long finger being quickly climbing up to the car, and at this moment, there were dozens of centimeters left from him, and he came straight to the car window.

"Master, be careful!" Monsoon drew his sword and picked the centipede away in the blink of an eye.

Ning Yunxiao looked at the ground outside the carriage, and sure enough, as the palace maid said, dozens of insects of all sizes crawled out one after another in the potholes on the ground.

"It's disgusting!" The palace maids said and stepped back.

Ning Yunxiao frowned.

"Go down and have a look, and take an umbrella." Ning Yunxiao said, stepping on the wooden shoes and getting up.

"It's just a few bugs, what are you looking at, be careful of catching a cold." Qingzhu said as he lifted the curtain of the car, and quickly got out with an umbrella and stretched it out.

Ning Yunxiao supported his waist with one hand and got out of the carriage steadily, and a crawling insect suddenly spun, and then grabbed a nearby insect and began to bite.

Monsoon frowned as well.

"Master......" he said hesitantly, "this worm is unusual. ”

"yes, and the taste." Ning Yunxiao nodded and said, the cold wind blew, adding to the coldness, as well as the faint smell of wine and medicine, mixed with the smell of rot and stench.

"In the land of Wuyi, there are Gu worms, the method of raising Gu, I heard that it is like this, put many insects into the jar, let them bite, and the last remaining one can become a Gu." Ji Feng said that he had been running errands outside all the year round, and he had traveled a lot and listened a lot, but after a while, he said, "But I don't know if it's Gu or not, and those vendors may still be using bugs to make medicine." ”

Centipedes and other insects have curative effects, and they are often used as medicines in various places, but there are very few that really have great results.

Ning Yunxiao pondered, and looked back at the few carriages that had already left, only a small back.

"Keep up, we'll stop wherever these people stop." She spoke, her intuition told her that the uneasiness just now was related to these insects, and the mention of "Gu worms" by the right monsoon made something flash in her mind, and made her heart palpitate, it seemed that this thought was more important than going around to sign an alliance with Bai Chenlin and the Emperor of the Blue Moon Country.

The monsoon on the side should be, and he asked, "Master, how to deal with these bugs?" ”

Qingzhu suggested, "Slave maid, let's put it away and keep it, so that you can compare it with those insects in the future." ”

Ning Yunxiao hummed, nodded, and then stepped into the carriage on a stool.

Monsoon went to get the jar, and soon sealed the insects in the pothole, put them aside, and rode forward again, and the group went on the road in a mighty way.

And a group of carriages on the official road in front of everyone, which was a mile away from everyone, was also in a hurry, and the little boy shuttled between the carriages to check, and shouted in a panic, "Insect master, no, the jar in the carriage is broken, and the insects inside have run away!" ”

He shouted and ran to the carriage headed by him, and after a few breaths he stood by the window, and the driver of the carriage slowed down.

"It's just that a jar is broken, and the few that ran haven't been cultivated, what are you panicking about." A dry hand lifted the curtain of the car, and then his face was revealed, it turned out to be the insect master who followed Bai Chenlin and Qingzhu to develop the antidote with Qingzhu in the past, but at this time, he lost his Confucian spirit, and he was still wearing a dark robe, his face was dark, and he was a little more gloomy.

The boy held the hat and said loudly, "But what if the people behind me see it?" Such a big pomp......

"What's the use of pomp and circumstance, it's one thing to know Gu worms or not." The insect master said, disapproving, while urging, "Hurry up, don't delay the important affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The voice fell, and the curtains of the car were lowered.

The little boy didn't dare to say any more, he followed on the side, looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were thick, and he couldn't stop for a while!

When night fell, the evening breeze was still gentle in the capital of the Blue Moon Kingdom, and there was not a single drop of dark clouds and raindrops.

In the palace, there were singing and dancing in the Chengde Palace, and the sound of silk and bamboo continued to come out, and several ministers outside were already in a hurry.

One of them pulled the eunuch and asked, "Father-in-law, when will the emperor summon me and others?" My father-in-law went to spread the word again. ”

The little eunuch was also terrified, "My lord, the slave doesn't know, and the slave doesn't dare to go in again. ”

"This ......," the minister sighed.

The rest said, "At the moment of national crisis, the emperor still has the leisure to watch singing and dancing. ”

"My lord! My lord! At this time, the staff members came over quickly from afar, "Princess Linglong's letter came back again, asking if the emperor agreed to sign an alliance with the Blue Sun Kingdom. ”

When several ministers heard this, they all looked embarrassed and angry.

Yesterday he presented the matter to the emperor, but the emperor immediately refused, and drove them out, and now he refuses to receive them, and the people outside are suffering from the flames of war, and the soldiers are killed and wounded.

Is...... No way!

"Can't delay, the official will go in and report." The minister who had just spoken to the little eunuch said, and rushed into the Chengde Hall with a flick of his sleeve.

"My lord! How can you trespass! The little eunuch and a cadre of ministers shouted together, and when they saw that the footsteps of the people did not stop, they followed in a hurry.

The concubines in the palace were bare-chested and bare-backed, and the minister suddenly broke in, causing them to scream.

"Bold! Daring! Don't get out yet! The concubine shouted, and the maid immediately dressed her.

The emperor was also very angry, slapped his hand on the case, and said angrily, "Presumptuous! ”

The cadres and others all knelt down and bowed their heads, and they said in unison, "The ministers don't dare, the state affairs are important, and I hope the emperor will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"What is the difference between surrendering to the Blue Sun Country, ceding land and paying compensation, and Guopo being treated as a prisoner!" The emperor was very angry and said, "What kind of heart do you have to suffer such humiliation?" ”

The minister immediately said: "The emperor is all for the people, it is not humiliating, and it will attract the love and respect of the people, and Bai Chenlin, the prince of the Blue Sun Kingdom, has broken Chenzhou City again, and he can break the capital again at any time and invade the palace." ”

"The reinforcements will arrive in the capital in half a day, why be afraid of Bai Chenlin's hairy boy, but the twenty weak crowns will lead the troops to attack my Lanri Kingdom, and he also wants to break through the palace, his ambition is not small, if he dares to come, let him come with his life, and he will not have his life to return." The emperor said that it was because the reinforcements arrived soon that he was so calm, otherwise he would definitely have to consider the method of truce war and signing an alliance with the Blue Sun Kingdom as mentioned in Princess Linglong's letter.

At this point, he turned to instruct the eunuch, "Give Princess Linglong a letter of resignation, and make it clear that I don't agree with this matter, let Ning Yunxiao, who came with me, go back." ”

"Your Majesty, you must not!" The ministers were in a hurry, but the words fell, and the drums beat more urgently.

The temple fell into deathly silence for an instant.

Drumming.

Enemy attack.

The emperor stood up and didn't ask on his behalf, the soldiers outside the palace came in a hurry, and reported in a panic, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Bai Chenlin, the prince of the Blue Sun Kingdom, has led more than 10,000 soldiers to press the city wall of the capital, and according to the report of the spies, after more than 10,000 soldiers, there is still an army of no less than 100,000 soldiers who are rushing towards the direction of the capital, and they will arrive in the near future." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was not only the soldiers who panicked, but the people in the hall.

The Emperor walked down a few feet and went to the hall and asked, "How can it be so fast?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it was the crown prince Bai Chenlin who ordered the army to throw down the grain and grass and hurry with all his might, so he ......" The soldier observed the emperor's face, and saw that the latter seemed to be angry and could not be suppressed, so he didn't dare to say more.

"The soldiers are so fast, they don't even want food and grass, they must be determined to break through the capital and enter the palace." But the minister dared to say it, and they dared to say something, "Now the palace is afraid that people are already panicking, and they are preparing to flee." ”

As if to confirm this sentence, the sound of gongs and drums sounded outside, and the footsteps of Suosuo were heard outside, and it should be the eunuch and palace maid on duty who ran away.

A panicked look appeared on the emperor's face.

The minister immediately said, "Your Majesty, it is the best policy to surrender early until now, and the Blue Sun Kingdom has no ability to annex our country, so it will definitely wait for this opportunity to sign the alliance, and it will never hurt the emperor." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was moved, and after a little silence, he immediately said, "Okay, you can send someone to negotiate." ”

"Negotiations?" Bai Chenlin was riding a tall horse in front of the battle, and he heard the generals on the city wall shouting and sneering, the emperor of the Blue Moon Country made representations without even fighting, intending to surrender, which really surprised him, no, it was an unexpected joy.

The military advisor on the side asked, "Your Highness, what should I do?" ”

Bai Chenlin glanced at him, then raised his head and promised loudly, "Okay!" As long as you open the city gate and let our army in, this palace promises not to do anything that endangers the life of the emperor of your country!" ”

It's just that it doesn't endanger the emperor's life, and the detention is naturally not a breach of contract.

Probably because the two countries were about to sign an alliance, Bai Chenlin, as the prince of a country and the commander of an army, did what he said, and the generals on the city wall did not hesitate too much, and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.

So Bai Chenlin led 10,000 soldiers, and just like that, Shi Shiran entered the capital of the Blue Moon Country, all the way through the streets of Beijing, and saw the wolf smoke burning on the beacon tower in the palace from a distance, obviously reporting the news.

However, it was too late, and even if the reinforcements arrived, they couldn't enter the capital.
