Chapter 163: The Arrow in the Dark

"And my good father, I don't understand, what is wrong with me, in your eyes I am not even as good as an outsider? Am I not talented enough? Or am I not diligent enough? Why don't you like me all the time? ”

These few words, in the end, Xingrou heard a trace of grievance.

After hearing this, Youtian Jue was furious, and shouted: "So, you killed Concubine Xiao Shu to take revenge on me, right?" ”

What the? Concubine Xiao is dead? Xingrou looked at Youyan in shock, as if questioning him, "Didn't you promise me to let her go?" ”

Youyan was just like her, looking confused.

He looked at Xingrou's eyes and said, "I really don't know about this matter, when I sent them out of the palace that day, it was fine." Do you believe me? ”

I don't know why, Xingrou nodded, she intuitively felt that there was something else hidden in this matter. Because Youyan did this, it didn't do him any good at all, he had already become the king of You, with his city, he wouldn't be so rash, just to take a breath, he killed Concubine Xiao Shu, causing Youtian Jue and Xingrou to be dissatisfied with him.

But Youtian never knows why, it seems that he is sure that it was done by Youyan.

Seeing Xingrou nodding, Youyan laughed, and shouted loudly to Youtianjue: "Do you believe me or not, I don't care, anyway, you have never trusted me, as long as Xingrou believes in me, I will have no regrets in this life!" ”

Xingrou secretly screamed badly, didn't he say this, didn't he seem to be on the same side as him?

She looked at Zhan Xianjun with a weak heart, but saw that there was no emotional fluctuation on his face, and he still looked indifferent, I don't know why, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She grabbed Youyan and persuaded: "Although you are unwilling, but the current situation is in front of you, Uncle Jue is right, you have gone, don't do a senseless struggle, lest the soldiers sacrifice in vain." ”

Youyan smiled at her, waved his long arm, took her into his arms and said, "Are you worried about me?" ”

Xinrou rolled her eyes in her heart and said, why is this person so self-indulgent? She just didn't want the two armies to go to war, and maybe the innocent people in the city would be harmed by the time. Youyan gave her words and interpreted another layer of meaning.

The words of the two of them were just said in a normal voice, and they couldn't hear Zhan Xianjun in the distance, You Qianye glanced at Zhan Xianjun, and whispered: "Look at these two people like glue, they are all in the city, and they still have the heart to flirt and scold, what a star girl, I think it's a demon girl with a red face and trouble!" ”

Zhan Xianjun listened, didn't answer, and handed her a warning look. Yu Chiba closed his mouth hatefully.

Youtian said angrily: "The rebel son will not repent, there is no need to talk nonsense with him, let's attack the city!" ”

Zhan Xianjun nodded, waved the pennant in his hand, and the besieging infantry rushed to the bottom of the city tower with the cart and ladder, and the crossbowmen covered behind.

On this side of the city tower, rows of archers also had to order a counterattack, arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows like locusts crossing the clear sky, and the soldiers who rushed up to attack the city fell to the ground one after another.

Occasionally, if a fish slips through the net and climbs the city wall, it will immediately be met by several hidden soldiers with swords and cut down under the city wall.

Youguo is already good at civil engineering, and the city walls are even more unbreakable and impregnable. Although there are few soldiers in Youyan's hands, he has an advantage by relying on this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack tower.

But everyone understands that this advantage is only temporary, and as long as the country is besieged for a long time, even if the allies do not attack, they will be trapped in the city because of lack of water and food.

Therefore, Zhan Xianjun saw that the city tower could not be attacked for a long time, and he was not in a hurry, seeing that it was getting late, he Mingjin withdrew his troops and arranged for the army to encamp in Chaoge, the capital of Youguo, and surrounded Chaoge to death.

In this way, although the Allied forces were scattered, they besieged Chaoge like a turtle in an urn, and the people in the city, no matter which direction they came from, could not fly.

Youyan patrolled the city and saw the battle outside the city, so he understood Zhan Xianjun's intention, which was to trap him in the city.

Several generals followed him worriedly, wanting to ask him what to do, but they were afraid that he would be in a bad mood at the moment and catch his scales. So they looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

After the inspection, Youyan said to the generals: "You just have to guard the city, and you must also send more people at night, and you can't be careless, beware of them from sneaking up at night." Don't worry about other things, this king has his own countermeasures. ”

Seeing him say this, several generals breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't have to worry about defending the city, and for a while, the enemy army would not be so easy to attack.

——————

On the second day, the two armies faced each other, and Zhan Xianjun seemed to have prepared a strategy of encircling but not attacking, and let the Yu army shout and scold, that is, he turned a deaf ear, and just led the allied troops to practice and demonstrate in an orderly manner.

Youyan sneered, quite calm, and instructed Miao Qing behind him to invite the queen up.

Miao Qing got the order, and after a while, he took Xingrou to the city tower.

Xingrou didn't know that Youyan had called her up, and was in doubt, Youyan said: "Now this situation, stalemate, it's not a way, it's better for you to persuade Zhan Xianjun, I heard Yueying say before, he obeyed your words." ”

Xingrou's eyes widened in surprise and said: "You really lift me up, even if I am willing to help you, the major matter of the battle between these two armies, your defeat is decided, how can he listen to my surrender to you." I wondered if Youyan was crazy enough to come up with this idea.

Seeing Xingrou's refusal, Youyan didn't care, and said with a smile: "That's what I said, if you don't want to, I won't force it." ”

After speaking, his hands suddenly pressed Xingrou's shoulders and said, "Don't move!" He leaned over lightly and picked up a petal on Xingrou's head.

The stern breath broke into her nose like this, reminding her of the events of that night, she avoided it unnaturally, glanced at the army outside the city and said: "I want to persuade you, why bother to resist, Uncle Jue also said, as long as you surrender, he will save your life......"

You Yan smiled: "Even if he wants to protect me, do you think Zhan Xianjun will let me go?" I thought about it last night, and Concubine Xiao's death has nothing to do with him. ”

Xingrou shook her head and exclaimed, "How is that possible? Concubine Xiao Shu is his mother-in-law! ”

You Yan hooked his lips and sneered, propped his hands on the city wall, looked at Zhan Xianjun who was leading the troops outside the city and said: "Sometimes, I think he is quite similar to me, and even, more decisive than me." Maybe you won't understand my words now, but one day ......"

Before he finished speaking, Youyan suddenly saw that the bow and crossbow in Zhan Xianjun's hand turned around and turned to this side, and before he could think about it, an arrow, with a strong internal force, shot towards the city tower like a meteor.

Be careful! Youyan stretched out his hand to push Xingrou away, but he didn't avoid it, and was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

I don't know who shouted, "Protect the King!" Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed up and retreated to the bottom of the city tower with Youyan and Xingrou in their arms.

The place where the allies were stationed was almost a mile away from the city gate, but Zhan Xianjun used the world's most advanced nine-headed crossbow, with a range of more than one mile, plus he used internal force to pour it into the arrow, so although it was the end of the strong crossbow, almost half of the arrow was still submerged in the flesh of Youyan.
