"Report ~~~ Marshal Qiyu, refugees are pouring into the imperial capital, and now the people of the whole city know that the alien race is coming, and it is too late to escape, General Deng and the city captains of all parties are sending people to maintain law and order, and some of the young people in the people are also willing to help defend the city. ”

It was still a light and breezy voice: "I know, I'll report later." ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

Under the eaves.

It's getting dark.

Xia Ji took off his armor, leaned the magic halberd against the foot of the wall, hung the rosary on the snowy branches, lit a candle, and sat on the small red sandalwood coffee table watching the snow and waited for Xia Xiaosu.

Before Xia Xiaosu came, another elite guard carrying a lantern came from afar.

"Report ~~~ Marshal Qiyu, the ghost army has appeared thirty miles outside the city, but there are still a lot of refugees, General Deng wants to close the city gate, but many people are questioning whether he wants to keep the remaining refugees outside the city and let them die, General Deng killed more than a dozen people, and then closed the city gate, but there are still many refugees who cannot enter the city, and those people have begun to abuse under the city. ”

Xia Ji said: "I know, report it again." ”

The elite guard hesitated and sighed, "Yes!"

In the snow, Xia Xiaosu, as in the past two years, carried a mahogany lunch box, knocked on the door, walked in with a smile, sat opposite his brother, took out the mutton soup in the lunch box, and took out two bottles of wine.

The meal was silent.

Halfway through eating.

There was a hurried footstep outside the door, accompanied by a sound of "report~~~~"

Before long, another elite guard who had summoned him half-knelt in front of the door, "Marshal Qiyu, alien... The siege has begun, and General Deng has not yet discovered the frost giants, but these giants are good at hiding in the wind and snow, and they are unpredictable!"

Xia Ji took a sip of the hot soup and took the time to reply: "I know, report it again." ”

The sound of fighting could be faintly heard in the distance, and the entire imperial city was boiling.

In the palace, some of the concubines began to burn incense and worship the Buddha, some wept in the palace, and some wanted to escape but were escorted back by the dead after crying and making a fuss.

Xia Xiaosu drank the soup quietly, and by the candlelight, she looked up at her brother, who is always so calm, even if the world is about to collapse, he is still like this, this peace makes her heart calm down.

"Report~~~"

"Marshal Qiyu, the ghost side stopped attacking the city and set up camp twenty miles away, but one of the other party's generals held a knife to invite battle under the city, and the five fierce generals in the army went to fight alone, all of them were killed, the other party laughed and left, and the morale in the city was even lower, General Deng ordered people to set up a brazier every 100 meters outside the city to illuminate the sight in order to prevent the sneak attack of the frost giants. ”

"Got it, I'll report it again. ”

"Marshal, General Deng asked when you will go to the city wall?"

"Tomorrow morning. ”

"Why..."

"Let's go down. ”

"Yes..."

After the elite guards left, Xia Xiaosu said: "Brother, let's go tonight, the morale of the front line is low, if you show up, it will always make them more excited." ”

"Xiao Su, do you think my brother should go to defend the city?"

"Isn't that why my brother stayed?"

"Xiao Su, let me ask you, if this city is defended now, what will happen to you and me?"

"Huh?"

Xia Xiaosu looked confused and began to think about it, she obviously hadn't thought about this problem.

Xia Ji didn't prepare to wait for her answer, but while drinking, he said quietly: "The Son of Heaven will come back, I will go to the front line to work hard, you will go to the Turkic marriage, everything we do, no one thinks it is important, no one thinks it is a big deal, the people, the soldiers, everyone thinks that everyone is holding this city together." ”

"Brother, isn't this good?"

"Not good!"

Xia Xiaosu: ...

"You think my brother is cruel or selfish, but I have never been prepared to defend this city, nor have I been prepared to save anyone, not to let aliens kill people, not to make them despair, not to let this blood flow into the sea, how can they know that I am important?"

“...”

"Brother doesn't want fame and fortune, I don't want others to be awe-inspired, what I want is just to use this city to change your and mine's lives, what do other people have to do with me?"

"Brother..."Xia Xiaosu was shocked, but then she thought about it, in fact, her brother was going to the front line to be a mascot, so let him brag about it, so she swallowed all the words she wanted to refute, and said with a smile, "No matter what, I will stand with my brother." ”

Xia Ji glanced at the girl in front of him gently, holding her hair with both hands, the two touched their foreheads and stuck them together, and then he said, "Good night." ”

Xia Xiaosu had a thousand words but didn't say them again, but said softly: "Good night." ”

It's dawn.

There weren't any Frost Giants last night, and apparently the Giants hadn't arrived yet.

The ghost general, Chikui, rode a giant wolf and continued to challenge outside the city.

This general can also speak the language of the Central Plains, and is shouting: "You big business and big country, don't you have a big business that can fight? Waste, all are waste!"

He scolded mockingly, and the morale of the soldiers defending the imperial capital slowly declined, after all, there were still five human heads brought by Chikui in the snow under the city.

These five heads are all from the fierce generals in the army...

But last night they all died at the hands of this Chikui.

At this time.

In the military tent.

Deng Jue didn't sleep all night, he looked around left and right, and everything was silent.

Suddenly, the tent was opened, and the soldiers sent a message: "Lu Jiang, the head of the Lu family in the capital, is willing to go out of the city to kill Chikui." ”

Lu Jiang is a famous swordsman in the capital, with a famous purple electric sword technique, who has killed many big men and won a lot of fame in martial arts competitions.

As soon as Deng Jue heard the name of Lu Jiang, he knew that this was a sign that the people of the Jianghu family were willing to come to help defend the city, so he got up with great joy, hurriedly ran out, and shouted from afar: "Master Lu, come from afar, please." ”

...

Burning incense, bathing and changing clothes, and then sleeping well, Xia Ji at this time not only completely recovered his spirit, but also reached the peak of his whole state.

He carried the Zhangba Demon Halberd and rode through the street on a tall horse, a thousand guards lined up behind him, Xia Xiaosu also rode a horse to the side, leaving his brother on his head from time to time, feeling strange in his heart, she still failed to connect the brother who chanted Buddha with this mighty figure.

There was the sound of drums beating and shaking the sky ahead, and in a few days... The drums stopped, and then the entire city wall fell silent, apparently another general sent by the Great Shang had been beheaded.

There was a loud laugh of alien scolding in the distance, but Deng Jue just closed the door and didn't send anyone to die, nineteen of them died, and even the previous Lu family master died, the Lu family master was obviously not used to the other party's wolf riding and killing, although his swordsmanship was exquisite, but he only lasted three rounds, and was split in half by Chi Kui's sword.

When the ghost side broke the city before, it was obvious that it had also captured a lot of siege weapons of the Shang Dynasty, and at this time it pulled out the catapult of Tongguan, lined up, mounted stones, and threw them in the distance.

Whew!

Suddenly, the boulders broke through the air, and they flew over the city wall and towards the imperial capital.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The city exploded and was completely chaotic, and the people rushed to the city like a tide.

Suddenly, a boulder fell into the street not far from Xia Ji.

And under the boulder, there is a little girl who is crying, it seems that she has lost her loved ones.

Seeing that the little girl was about to be smashed into minced meat, suddenly a black shadow swept by, and the guards suddenly found that the Seven Highnesses on the horse were gone.

Xia Ji grabbed the frightened little girl with his left hand and made an extremely fast movement.

Then he put the little girl down and touched her hair, and in the distance a woman ran up and shouted "Nan Nan", and the little girl heard the familiar voice, looked sideways, and then cried out and ran over and threw herself into the woman's arms.

The woman didn't see the previous scene, and when she saw the terrifying and mighty figure, she was so frightened that she hurriedly left with her daughter in her arms.

Xia Ji didn't care, and when he returned to the horse, it wasn't tragic enough, so he wasn't in a hurry to rush out of the city immediately.

Xia Xiaosu smiled, brother, you just said yesterday that you wouldn't save anyone, but today you saved one, it turns out that men also like duplicity?

However, my brother's body is really fast, but it is not very useful even if she is just a royal daughter, and she knows that the most important thing on the battlefield is the strength when they fight each other.
