Chapter 15 The Soldiers Descend on the City

Jia Qianqian, who has no memories of the past, seems to be a little less agile than before because she is often in a daze and confused. Xuancheng is a completely strange place for her. Because Nie Wuzheng had to deal with the impending war, he had to constantly consult with the elders and the leaders who managed Xuancheng. When Nie Wuzheng didn't accompany her, Jia Qianqian was often stunned alone, she was really at a loss as to where she should go in the future, and the whereabouts of the scepter, whether it should be made public or not became a piece of her heart.

Emperor Yong'an's edict soon reached the border city, and he agreed to Long Xiao's proposal to attack Xuancheng as the commander-in-chief, but appointed Long Jie as the overseer, giving him the decision to stop the war at any time and withdraw the army. Emperor Yong'an can be said to have made a bloody investment this time, and he wanted to use this war to test the leadership ability, courage, and analysis and grasp of the overall situation of his two sons.

After Long Xiao saw this holy decree, he was naturally very angry and depressed. Although he became the coach, he was subject to Long Jie. Later, when he thought about it, he had a heavy army in his hands, and if Long Jie dared to stop him, he could not obey. As long as Xuancheng is captured and the henchmen of this Dayan country are eliminated, his father will naturally not blame him. So, he began to gather men and horses, transferred 50,000 troops stationed on the Western Front, and 20,000 horses stationed in General Yang stationed at the border pass, a total of 70,000 people, and began to prepare for the attack on Xuancheng.

Xuancheng people's mentality towards Jia Qianqian is very complicated. This girl has influenced their young master to the point of losing her soul, which makes them very annoying. But she just got and found the most important thing in the Dayue Dynasty, the Jade Seal Scepter, and it seems to be their great benefactor. Obviously, after falling off the cliff, she was lifeless and appeared unscathed, saving the young master who was desperate, but now, because the young master hijacked her, and provoked the prince of Dayan to lead a large army to attack Xuancheng, this girl is simply like a demon.

Long Jie contacted Hongye, the leader of Shunfeng Hall, through the merchants of Dayan Kingdom, who often went in and out of Xuancheng, and finally got Jia Qianqian's recent situation in Xuancheng. Although Nie Wuzheng was overjoyed after getting Qianqian and treated her like a jewel, who could guarantee that when the imperial brother led a large army to attack Xuancheng and Xuancheng was in danger, Nie Wuzheng would not use Jia Qianqian as a shield? When Nie Wuzheng asked him, Shangguan Lei, and Xu Xiaozi to look for the scepter, he said, "If Xuancheng is in trouble, Qianqian will be the first person in trouble." "If Nie Wuzheng really threatens himself with Qianqian, how should he decide?

Long Xiao led the army to a place five miles outside Xuancheng City and stationed down. Xuancheng's business activities naturally stopped before the arrival of the army, and all those who were not Xuancheng were driven out.

The tense atmosphere in Xuancheng made Jia Qianqian feel it too, Jia Qianqian asked Xiao Ye what happened, Xiao Ye thought that the war was about to start, and he couldn't hide it, so he told the situation outside the city. After hearing the news that Long Xiao led the army to surround Xuancheng, Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then ran to the outer city like crazy. Xiao Ye panicked, and asked the inner city patrol guards to catch her quickly, and at the same time went to inform Nie Wuzheng.

When Nie Wuzheng rushed over, Jia Qianqian was fighting desperately against the two base camp disciples who grabbed her, and shouted loudly: "You let go of me, I'm just going to the city wall to have a look!" The two subordinates saw that Nie Wuzheng was coming, and let go of Jia Qianqian. Jia Qianqian grabbed Nie Wuzheng's sleeve and asked nervously, "Is there really going to be a war?" Did Long Xiao really bring a large army to surround Xuancheng? Nie Wuzheng said calmly: "Qianqian, you don't have to worry about it so much, Xuancheng will be fine." ”

Jia Qianqian shook her head sadly, "Why is it so serious?" Once the war starts, how many people will be killed and wounded! Nie Wuzheng, you let me go to the city wall to have a look, I want to see it with my own eyes. ”

Nie Wuzheng hesitated for a moment, and finally led her to the outer city. When he climbed to the top of the wall in the outer city, he saw that all the disciples in the base camp were fully armed and had serious expressions. The walls were filled with stones, bows and arrows, and a few things that stopped the siege. Jia Qianqian's heart beat violently, she didn't expect the war to come so easily, if Long Xiao attacked the city for herself, then would she be considered Xuancheng's red face and trouble, a sinner through the ages? But he is also innocent, he was forcibly captured by Nie Wuzheng!

Standing at the lookout of the city wall, the sunny weather opened up the field of vision, and the army stationed outside Xuancheng could be seen at a glance. Jia Qianqian only felt that his feet were a little weak, and he pulled the wall tiles hard to support his body, and asked with a pale face, "Why is this happening?" Is it worth the big fight? Nie Wuzheng, you let me go, I don't remember anything now, it's useless for you to leave me, let me go, I will persuade Long Xiao to withdraw his troops. ”

Nie Wuzheng grabbed Jia Qianqian's shoulders and said with a proud face: "Qianqian, we Xuancheng people are always guarding against the arrival of this day, so everyone is prepared, don't worry, don't look at the few people in Xuancheng, but they can all be one hundred." The soldiers are not expensive, and Long Xiao will pay the price of easily mobilizing troops. ”

Jia Qianqian shook his head desperately, "No, I don't want anyone to be killed or injured in Xuancheng, and I don't want the soldiers of Dayan to be killed or injured, they all have parents and relatives, if they die, how sad the relatives at home should be!" ”

"Qianqian, I don't blame you and me for this, it's just that Long Xiao wants to find an excuse to destroy Xuancheng."

Jia Qianqian grabbed Nie Wuzheng's sleeve and prayed: "Nie Wuzheng, you let me go, let me go, Long Xiao will have no excuse."

Nie Wuzheng said proudly: "I, Nie Wuzheng, am not a timid and afraid person, if the army comes, I will be busy sending my women out, then how can Xuancheng gain a foothold in the future?" Isn't it possible for everyone to threaten like that? ”

"Nie Wuzheng, I'm not your woman, it's you who took the blame first, you kidnapped me to bring disaster to Xuancheng, if you insist on going your own way, all Xuancheng people will hate you in the future." Jia Qianqian was angry and anxious, she didn't understand why these men were so domineering? Anyone can swear that she is his woman, and they treat her as a thoughtless object that they can possess at will?

"Before you lost your memory, when we went to Khotan, you promised to marry me, can't I take back my fiancΓ©e? Qianqian, because you lost your memory, you forgot that you promised to marry me, you are my woman, and all the people of Xuancheng also know that they will fight to protect their homeland and their young master's wife. ”

Jia Qianqian was completely speechless, she found that she couldn't convince Nie Wuzheng at all, she could only watch the situation deteriorate sadly, and sadly watch those cruel war scenes about to appear.

In the Chinese army tent, Long Xiao and General Yang discussed how to arrange troops and attack Xuancheng. Long Jie stared at Xuancheng in front of him speechlessly. If there was a way, he absolutely did not want to see war happen. The people of Xuancheng are the remnants of the Dayue Dynasty, but they are just living in peace now, can they be wiped out to ensure that the country of Dayan will be eternal and unified for 10,000 years? If you don't attack them, how can you save Qianqian? Long Jie had always been uninterested in getting the jade medal and scepter, he didn't know what was so magical about that thing, and he didn't think about making a big deal about it. It's just that now, if he wants to take revenge on the imperial brother and fight the imperial brother, he must rescue Qianqian and get the jade medal and scepter, so he has to agree to start a war. It's just that if you want to capture Xuancheng, you may have to pay the price, Long Jie still doesn't dare to imagine, he can only hope that what Nie Wuzheng said at the beginning is a lie that threatens them, and he hopes that the people inside Xuancheng can convince Nie Wuzheng and let Jia Qianqian go.

Jia Qianqian returned to * in despair, how to stop this war?

Nie Wuzheng was called to the council hall again, and it turned out that his subordinates who had gone to Khotan and Qi to ask for help had returned. The subordinate told them that Khotan was willing to send 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Qi was willing to send 20,000 horses. It's just that the conditions for their troops are very harsh, and Xuancheng not only has to bear the grain and grass of their army, but also has to promise that the merchants of their country will come to Xuancheng to do business in the future, and they can pay no transaction fees.

After hearing this, Nie Wuzheng slammed his fist on the table, and the Khotanese and Qi countries simply took advantage of the fire to rob. If the transaction fees of the merchants of the other two countries are not charged in the future, then what will be used to feed Xuancheng? The eight elders and those high-ranking leaders also looked at each other, they didn't expect that the Khotan and Qi countries would also be so cunning and take the opportunity to blackmail.

At this time, a disciple of the base camp guarding the city hurriedly came in and presented a letter. It turned out that this letter was written by Long Jie, who ordered the archers to shoot at Xuancheng. After Nie Wuzheng took the letter and read it, he said coldly, "It can't be done!" ”

Elder Mu on the side hurriedly took the letter over and took a closer look, only to see that it was written: Brother Nie, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come, okay? Now that the army is coming to the city, Brother Nie's life may not be easy, the reason is caused by Jia Qianqian, now, as long as Brother Nie hands over Jia Qianqian, I will immediately ask the imperial brother to withdraw the troops and relieve the danger of Xuancheng. Brother Nie understands the righteousness, and he won't let his children's private feelings blind his mind, and ignore the life and death of all his subordinates, right? Under the nest, how many eggs are gone? If the city is broken, what will Brother Nie do to protect Qianqian? Why bother to lose both the city and the city when the time comes! With Brother Nie's cleverness, he will definitely make the right decision. Brother waits for Brother Nie's good news.

The payment is Long Jie. After Elder Mu read it, his eyes immediately showed joy, and he showed the letter to the others again, and everyone talked about it, saying that the matter had come to this point, and they simply handed over Jia Qianqian. Only Elder Lu shook his head and said: "No, if you hand over Miss Jia now, I'm afraid that they will have no scruples and attack the city more fiercely, and keep that girl, it's really not good, so we will tie her to the city wall and force them to retreat." ”

Nie Wuzheng's eyes instantly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Relying on a weak woman to survive, I Nie Wuzheng can't do it, and I can't use a weak woman as a shield." ”

Elder Lu hurriedly distinguished: "But when he brought Jia Qianqian back to Xuancheng, it was to deal with Long Jie and suppress and threaten him, why didn't he use it now?" ”

When Jia Qianqian was first brought back to Xuancheng by Nie Wuzheng, in order to prevent these elders from accusing him of bringing outsiders into the base camp indiscriminately, Nie Wuzheng found such an excuse, but now he was used by Elder Lu, and immediately glanced at everyone, and said angrily: "At this time and that time, Qianqian is now my woman, I once said that I would marry her, this is something that the entire Xuancheng people know, and now I use my own woman to threaten the opponent, won't it make the world laugh?" ”
