Chapter 1: Orphans in Troubled Times (1)

。。。 。。。

Outside the big tent of the king of Heyang, the sword light and sword shadow, the horse neighed and the people declined.

The firelight flew like a stream, and the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering and endless.

In the firelight tent, only one woman's voice of shouting for the sky and grabbing the earth was very poignant, which cut people's ears and eyes.

With the woman's last tearing cry, a 'wow' sound, a newborn baby was finally born at an inopportune time in this big tent of Heyang Palace, which was full of murderous sounds and flying knives and guns.

At this time, the midwife's wife smiled and happily held the baby girl who was still covered with blood and put it next to the woman, while sighing and saying.

"Congratulations to Mrs. Xu for having a noble son, and the palace has added a new ding. It's just that... It's just that...... Hey, I'm afraid this kid won't come at the right time. ”

The woman lying on the bed suddenly raised her eyebrows, looked at the baby boy beside her, and whispered.

"Lady Wang, don't sigh. Now that the palace has fallen to such a point, it seems that this is his fate. Born like this, die in Si. Maybe everyone has his own destiny to be controlled, and that's it, so why should we sigh for his life and fate. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Xu is right. Then send someone to inform the prince quickly, so that the prince can be happy. ”

Wang Po said, her face was already a little more joyful and happy.

"Xiuju, you are smart and can speak, so you can inform the prince."

When Mrs. Xu spoke softly, her eyes swept to a pink-clad embroidered girl who had been standing in front of the bed and said.

"Yes, ma'am."

The girl who was called Xiuju replied, and suddenly hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Madam, the war ahead is very tight, and the foreign enemy is invading on a large scale, will calling the prince here affect the overall situation of the war? Please also ask Madame to think twice. ”

"Hey, if you are told to go, you will go, what are you still chattering about? When is it, why don't you hurry up and call the prince, don't you want the prince to take a look at his son? ”

Wang Po shouted loudly on the side, Xiu Ju shook her tongue for a night, threw a helpless expression on her face, turned around and walked away obediently.

About a moment after the tea, there was a rush of horses' hooves and the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent.

A bearded man in his forties, wearing a battle robe and holding a bloody sword Qi Yu Xuanyuan, lifted the curtain and entered, followed by a seemingly shrewd lieutenant general.

The bearded man hurried to the woman on the bed, thrust the bloody sword into the scabbard, and then picked up the baby boy beside the woman and looked at it carefully. Then he turned around and looked around, laughing.

"There are follow-up people in Heyang Palace, even if I, Li Tianzuo, die on the battlefield today, I have no regrets about sacrificing my life to serve the country. Madam, I will work hard for you in the future. ”

The woman on the bed was shocked when she heard this, a wisp of ominous meaning flashed on her face, and she said with tears in her eyes.

"Lord Wang, is today's trend irreversible? Is the foreign enemy and the thief unstoppable? Why don't we avoid its edge and retreat first? Does the prince have to die to make his ambitions? Can you prove that you are upright, live and die together, and go to the country? Why don't you want to think about how your son will live in front of you? ”

"Madame, don't talk about that. Today's affairs are in danger, if the country is broken, how can we say that we can settle down? The ambition of the husband cannot be taken away, so you are exempt from this heart. ”

The middle-aged man looked at the little baby in his arms with deep suspicion, and was silent for a while before saying so decisively.

"Lord, you can't make a mistake, if you choose to sacrifice yourself for the country, then the Heyang Royal Mansion will be gone. Isn't this the plot of those traitors? Please also think twice. ”

The lieutenant behind the middle-aged man took two steps forward and bowed in salute, waiting for the middle-aged man's answer for a while.

"Yes, lord, you can't give up the Heyang Palace, and give up our subordinates."

Seeing what the lieutenant general said, the maid-in-law who was serving on the side also ran in front of the middle-aged man and begged.

"Hey, all of you, get up, don't beg this king like this, this king has his own unspeakable secrets that you can understand. Don't persuade them, everyone has their own destiny, life and death are determined, and they cannot be violated. ”

The middle-aged man looked at the kneeling tent in front of him and said hurriedly, and then looked back at the sleeping baby in his hand, and couldn't hold back his violently shaking body, turned around and secretly wiped the tears that were about to flow.

"Lord Wang, then you hurry up and make a decision, how to protect the roots and seedlings of the Heyang Palace, and our mother and son?"

The woman on the bed asked softly for a moment, her tone full of trust and comfort for the middle-aged man.

"Vice General Li listens to the order, this king will bring a team of men and horses to open a bloody road for you, and you are responsible for leading a team of personal soldiers to protect the wife and the little prince to retreat safely. Don't make a mistake in a hurry, otherwise, kiss yourself to apologize. ”

After the middle-aged man suddenly gave this death order to Vice General Li beside him, he was about to walk away.

Vice General Li hurriedly spoke out to stop him. "Lord, let's let the young general lead people to kill a bloody path, and let the prince and his wife retreat safely. You are the commander of the army, you can't be in danger. ”

"Vice General Li, don't fight. It is precisely because I am the commander of the army that I am the best bait for the enemy, so that I can attract all the attention of the foreign enemy and the traitor, so that you can act conveniently. Don't fight for anything, you go down and prepare for the troops, three cannons are the signal, the king leads the troops to the northwest corner to kill all the way, and you can take your wife and little son to the southeast corner and retreat safely. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, the young general will take the order and leave. Lord Wang, take care, take care. ”

Vice General Li received the order with tears in his eyes for a while, and immediately hid his face and left.

Midnight had passed, and the hour had just come, and it was the time when people were sleeping.

Li Tianzuo, the king of Heyang, had already set up a large army of horses and horses to launch a large-scale attack on the northwest corner of the enemy's camp, and after waiting for Vice General Li to protect his wife and his young son's men and horses to live in the southeast corner, he fired three cannon shots.

In front of the farewell of the two pairs of people, Vice General Li still wanted to let the king of Heyang take a look at Mrs. Xu and his son, and do his duty as a parent and the joy of humanity, but he was finally stopped by the king of Heyang.

At the moment when the two compartments passed by, Mrs. Xu wanted to get off the carriage and walk in front of the prince of Heyang for the last time. I didn't want the prince of Heyang to throw the horsewhip, and it hit the carriage and horses left by Mrs. Xu, and the horse was in pain and neighed away. Mrs. Xu can only take advantage of the gap in the window to look back, and there is a scene where you can stop and take off the shelves.

On this side, the prince of Heyang was also dressed in a battle robe and looked sad, and he couldn't stop looking at the carriage where Mrs. Xu was going. I saw that the prince of Heyang waved the horsewhip in his hand several times, and the parting feelings between the husband and wife were almost no longer able to chase after them.

Tears in Mrs. Xu's eyes drowned out over and over again, and the baby she was holding in her arms screamed like people who had been affected by war, 'Wow, Wow, Wow,' in a chaotic manner. Messed up with this Mrs. Xu's heart, tormenting back and forth between her husband and children, she almost fainted on the spot.

After the men and horses led by Vice General Li passed, the king of Heyang collected his teary eyes, his eyes swept over the brigade behind him like a burning fire, and he immediately drew his sword and issued an attack order with three cannon sounds.

For a while, the sound of people and horses roared, and the swords and swords appeared. Tens of thousands of men and horses rushed to the northwest corner of the enemy's camp like an angry tide, and the king of Heyang took the lead in battle, like a tiger pounced on a flock of sheep, and clung to its throat.

In an instant, the sound of the two armies' camps shouting and killing was earth-shattering, the sword light and fire shadow lingered and flew, the arrows and arrows and horses roared, the stump arm was broken, the blood flowed like a river, and a big battle began.

The two sides really fought desperately, and the fight was dark, so it was not miserable.

Vice General Li was not idle here, and after the three signal cannons sounded, he galloped away with his own troops to the southeast corner.

Although there were a few enemy soldiers who hindered the killing along the way, it was useless to fence out the flood. After a while, Vice General Li led his own soldiers all the way to kill and protect Mrs. Liu and Xiao Gongzi, broke out of the encirclement of the enemy crown, and ran away five or six miles away.

Captain Li parked Mrs. Xu's carriage on a small hillside and ordered his soldiers to guard it on all sides. I made a careful inspection again before I was relieved.

It wasn't until Pi Shi that this team finally breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone looked back at the military camp where they had been stationed before, only to see the flames soaring into the sky, the sound of killing was endless, sometimes faintly furious, sometimes the dragon roared and the tiger roared, shaking the heart of the first person. It seems that the two armies have reached the last moment of the life-and-death battle, and whoever can hold out until the end will be the victor.

Mrs. Xu crossed out of the carriage with difficulty, walked to Vice General Qi Li, and said anxiously.

"General Li, now that we are out of the encirclement of the enemy champion, there should be no danger. You might as well lead your men and horses back to the camp to rescue the prince, so that people can know the details and situation of the fifth master. ”

"Mrs. Xu, it's not that the last general is unwilling to lead the troops back to rescue the prince, nor is it that the last general is greedy for life and afraid of death. It was really the prince who gave a death order, if the last general could not protect Mrs. Xu Liu and the little prince from danger safely, the last general would have to kiss himself to apologize. At that time, it is a pity that he will not be able to die, but there will be no one in the dignified Heyang Palace. The last general was deeply favored by the prince, and did not dare to live up to the trust of the prince's life and death. I ask for your forgiveness. ”

Vice General Li knelt in front of Mrs. Xu and said, the two tears on his face had already condensed into strings of pearls.

Mrs. Xu knew that no matter how much she said, Vice General Li would not lead the troops back for a while. I had to reluctantly step up the high slope and look at the previous camp and stare silently, the tears in my eyes slowly blurring the bitter vision.

But I saw that the fire in the distant sky was gradually dimming, the voices of people gradually subsided, the horses stopped neighing, the knives stopped fighting, the guns stopped dancing, and the cold night wind gradually disappeared everything.

Mrs. Xu's eyes were dark, she screamed, and fell down with a thud.
