Nangong He's army retreated, and the mob also dispersed.

There are a lot of people, but none of them can really ask questions.

Therefore, Xia Xiaosu asked the guards to interrogate some captured mobs, but they just made a show,

And let the dead keep an eye on the mob that fled in secret, and remember the people they met, and remember what they looked like.

Then let the little foxes go to the powerful area away from the riot to keep an eye on them.

A gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, if he wants to stay out of the matter and manipulate the overall situation, then he must not be stained with dust,

If the instigator behind the scenes allows the mob to riot next to his mansion, then it is very likely that this is a matter of right and wrong.

Of course, it is possible that others will do the opposite.

But Xia Xiaosu "sniffed" the character of the behind-the-scenes from the previous behind-the-scenes operations.

And as soon as the person behind this curtain appears, the fox will take away,

During this time, the foxes read the dossier every day and endorsed every day, they no longer want to memorize it, if they can not endorse it, then they are willing to take it.

Xia Xiaosu arranged in an orderly manner...

This is the game of conspiracy, twists and turns, without a dark and delicate heart, you really can't play this job.

The princess who turned back only felt that the tranquility, darkness, and scheming in her heart were indescribable, and it didn't seem so terrifying.

She ruffled her long hair and walked to the city.

The snow danced lightly, and there was no umbrella, so the snow fell on the coiled hair, eyebrows, and eyes.

Her eyes showed a peace similar to that of her brother, who had been chanting for nearly three years, and she had listened to the scriptures for nearly three years, restrained for three years, and submissive for three years.

For three years, I have lowered my eyebrows in despair, and I have stood on tiptoe at the edge of death, so what are you afraid of?

This is a question she has asked herself many times, so she is not afraid, life and death are only a matter of how quickly she pulls out the dagger in her arms and plunges it into her chest.

She threw her head back and stepped onto the tower.

Hu Xian'er followed closely with a cloak.

Looking down at the city from outside the battlements,

It was the Shura field where the snow fell and the blood mist steamed.

Xia Ji's armor was stained with blood, dragging the black halberd diagonally, and he was returning.

The army behind him had already withdrawn its troops.

Xia Xiaosu took a deep breath, bit his lip, looked at his brother covered in blood, and asked the soldiers beside him, "How is the victory or defeat of His Royal Highness the Seven?"

The soldier didn't answer, he looked at the killing god who had returned from the city in amazement, his mind was full of shock, such a peerless posture, he almost suspected that he was in a dream.

Therefore, he didn't even notice the princess's question.

Xia Xiaosu didn't care, and asked another soldier, "How is the victory or defeat of the Seventh Highness?"

The soldier was also stunned, and Hu Xian'er snorted coldly: "The princess asked you something." ”

The soldier was startled, then he reacted, turned around and knelt on the ground, "The princess forgives her sins, and the villain only cares about looking at His Highness the Seventh." ”

"See what?"

"The Seven Highnesses rode ten thousand, and the Buddha's hands came out twice, each time it was to bombard and kill more than a thousand people, going back and forth, like entering a no-man's land, it was really a battlefield to kill the gods, but..."

"But what?"

"But when General Deng returned, he joined forces with General Nangong and asked His Highness to surrender Kaicheng. ”

Xia Xiaosu's expression moved, she tried her best to maintain her calm, but her pupils couldn't help but flash anger.

Deng Jia...

The elder brother asked him to go to the camp in the Northland, because he trusted him, and wanted him to lead the only army guarding the imperial city, but he failed to live up to this trust!

Her little fist hidden in the long sleeves of her dark color dress clenched,

When the eyes returned, I saw the wind and snow becoming a dragon, and the figure walking in the blood river python was full of loneliness.

There was a touch of distress in her heart, a touch of pride, and a touch of pride.

I feel sorry for my brother and go out alone.

The proud brother won alone.

The proud brother is one of ten thousand.

What about tens of millions?

Brother, since he is a man with a halberd, in front of the city, it is like covering the outside of the imperial city with both hands, and even a soldier cannot break in.

This kind of courage is really shocking!

Call~~

She let out a breath.

Syllable~~

She clapped her hands on the cold city wall and raised her voice:

"Open the gates!!"

The voice was still a little immature, but it was very powerful.

At the sound of an order, the voice came out layer by layer, and the east gate slowly opened to the triumphant prince.

...

...

Xia Ji took off his armor,

went to the Cloud Palace,

Lighting 10,000 sticks of sandalwood, Kowloon spat out water, gurgling water and clouds of smoke covering his sturdy body.

He didn't ask about the mob in the city.

Because Xia Xiaosu said that he didn't have to worry about the things in the city, then he didn't have to worry.

He grabbed the rosary on one side and slowly tossed it, the rosary was four hundred and eight, but it was much dimmer after using it twice today, especially the second use, which made the rosary almost go from "slightly dim" to "lost its brilliance".

After a moment's thought, he raised his hand and knotted his mudra, the mark slowly pressing against the rosary, and the spirit explored in it.

Smack...

He plucked a prayer bead, and then carried the Nyorai Zen Spirit, and tentatively "poured" his spirit into the bead.

This rosary was made by yourself, and there was no reason why it could not be restored to its luster.

With the fingertips clicking, the golden pulp under the rosary suddenly appeared, lingering around the dry sunken wooden surface, like a defeated dragon suddenly flourished, wandering and circling fingertips to re-appear the appearance of "swastika".

When it was just right, Xia Ji raised his finger.

Just as he was about to put the rosary back, a slight "click" sound unexpectedly came to his ears.

He looked sideways,

I saw that the arm wheel of the word "swastika" was no longer smooth, showing a slight crack, the crack was getting bigger and bigger, and the gold paste was seeping in.

After more than ten seconds, the rosary let out an unbearable moan.

Smack!

The rosary was shattered from within,

Split into several petals and landed on the warm water surface of the Sky Pool, flowing forward with the impact of the "ambergris" of the Nine Dragons, until it hit the end of the current.

Failed.

He didn't care, put the rosary aside, pillowed his hands on the pillow, let his mind go, and fell back,

Every inch of his skin was washed by warm currents, which contained precious spices that calmed the nerves, and allowed people to recover their mental and physical strength as quickly as possible.

Xia took a short break for a stick of incense, then reached out and took the leather contract, pointed at the contract with his finger, and a line of information came into it:

Come and see me, I'm in the Sky Palace.

Hu Xian'er, who was accompanying the princess, suddenly received the information, at this time, the opposite army was encamped, and there was no riot in the city, which was a calm between the storms, Hu Xian'er let the palace maid turned into the little fox continue to protect the princess, and she entered the deep palace with the princess's warrant.

Pushing open the door, the door was filled with fragrant mist, and a man was bathed in warm water in the mist, and there was the sound of "tons and tons of Kowloon spitting water" in the ears.

Hu Xian'er's eyes moved, the black smoke exploded, and she instantly changed from winter clothes to summer clothes, the saffron silk dress was wrapped around her delicate body, the short skirt was unfathomably short, and the lotus-like calves stepped on the jade ground of the Yunxiao Palace, she had a look of wanting to refuse and welcome, Chu Chu teased pitifully: "Master, please... Please be gentle with the fairy. ”

Xia Ji ignored her yellow tone and said directly: "Let's talk about the magic device." ”

Hu Xian'er: "Master, I... I think about the pool. ”

"Get dressed and come down. ”

"Will your clothes get wet..."

"It's all your skin, does it matter?"

"Oh..."

Hu Xian'er stepped into the Yunxiao Palace Hot Spring, and she sighed comfortably, this emperor of the world will enjoy it, but there are many precious herbs hidden in the calming spices of this pool water, which can soothe the tense skin in an instant and relax the tense mood in an instant.

Hu Xian'er followed the smell and saw that the leftmost dragon head in the Nine Dragons was slightly distorted, and this tranquilizing spice came from it, she swept the other eight again, and said curiously: "Master, are there eight spices?

She paddled away, then rose into the air, crouching on top of the dragon, trying to twist the other dragons.

"Don't screw it. ”

"Oh..."Hu Xian'er said, but her hand was very dishonestly twisted, she is a fox, foxes are known for being eccentric, she is not only slippery feet, but also slippery hands.

But before she could twist it, a few droplets of water shot up from the surface of the water and hit her palm hard.

Hu Xian'er only felt a pain in the back of her hand, like an electric shock, she couldn't help but let out a sound "Ouch hey", she knew that this was a warning, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand, a little aggrieved.

Xia Ji said: "Royal extravagance, the spices hidden in the other eight dragon heads are not a good thing. ”

Hu Xian'er's eyes lit up when she heard this...

"Master, what's that bad thing?"

Xia Ji looked at her like that, and he didn't prepare to have an in-depth discussion with a fox spirit, but said lightly: "Let's talk about the magic weapon." ”

Hu Xian'er sat in the pool obediently and skillfully, and poured out the information she knew: "Magic weapons, most of the powerful ones come from ancient ruins.

Spiritual power is contained in the magic weapon, and when these powers are exhausted, the magic weapon will become a mortal thing.

But different spiritual powers also need different carriers, such as prayer beads, bottles, bells, flags, and even flowers and feathers...

The use of magic weapons cannot be continuous, and after each use, you need to quietly recuperate for some time before you can use it again.

And since the master is the maker of the rosary, then the time of this recuperation will be faster,

And the better the material of the ritual weapon, the shorter the time for this warmth.

But no matter how warm it is, the material will be corroded.

And for those who are not ritual weapon makers, the efficiency of warming is very low, and it is only delaying the 'time of death' of the artifact. ”

The old fox has lived for hundreds of years, and naturally he is well-informed, and he still knows these things.

Xia Ji thought about it and probably understood, the reason why the rosary was dim was because he used it continuously,

The reason why the rosary is broken is because of the material of the agarwood, which cannot withstand such a rough secondary indoctrination.

And the carrier also knows that Rulai Zen is suitable for prayer beads, lamp-burning Zen is suitable for lamps, and Maitreya Zen is suitable for robes.

Hu Xian'er understood a man's mind very well, but when she saw her master pondering, she understood what he was thinking, so she continued to speak.

"The best material for making prayer beads, but there is no conclusive conclusion, but it is certainly not a mortal product in the world, these all need to be coincidental, my fox clan has hidden a good piece of wood, it is magma wood, and the wood will burn when it encounters fire, but the five elements of this wood are pro-fire, can withstand high temperatures, and belong to a very rare species, I will apply for it, and let the next batch of goblins come over to His Royal Highness. It's just..."

She bit her lip.

Xia Ji said: "What do you want?"

Hu Xian'er said coquettishly: "I want to unscrew those eight dragon heads and try it." ”

Xia Ji: ......

Hu Xian'er giggled, the master is still a teenager after all, although he has a Buddha-like spirit, but after all, he still has a young side.

She changed her words and reminded: "By the way, master, the day before yesterday, I found the Queen of the Ghost Fang, but I accidentally found the thing, you..."

"I know. ”

"Oh oh..."

...

...

Night is falling in the Imperial City, and it is still snowing tonight.

In the early hours of the morning, the sound of rustling sounded on the street, and the sound converged into a huge wave that hit the city gate directly, Xia Ji did not sleep, he listened to the noise in the distance.

"Open the gates of the city and welcome the righteous army!"

"Open the gates!"

"Do you also want to accompany the tyrannical prince in the rebellion?"

"Rebellion is to punish the nine clans, the Seventh Highness is selfish, he is a royal family, but we have relatives. ”

"My lords, open the gates. ”

The voice was "rehearsed", and every sentence had a strong sense of demagogy, and the already undetermined guards at the head of the city were even more confused at this time.

Xia Xiaosu stood in front of the city gate and raised his voice and said, "Don't be agitated, please believe me, okay?"

When the crowd saw this princess, they took a break for a while, because this princess was the only royal magnate who had set up a porridge shop, built a shack, distributed quilts, and relieved the refugees.

So someone asked: "May I ask the Ninth Princess, what is the intention of His Royal Highness the Seventh?"

"Your Highness is brave, but if you don't open the city gate, it will hurt us. ”

If it was before, Xia Xiaosu would only think that these people were right, she and her brother wanted to change their fate, why did they want to pull others, but now she doesn't think so, she has something she wants to do, and her brother has something to do, so she must do it.

So, she just said, "Trust me..."

However, the mob hidden in the people existed after all, and a slight sound of blowing arrows sounded in the hustle and bustle, and a faint light shot rapidly towards Xia Xiaosu from the crowd.

Before the princess could make a move, a fox palace maid beside her had already raised her hand and waved, and her strength dispersed the cold light.

The mob's voices roared.

"Hypocrisy!"

"Just a few bowls of porridge, can we buy the lives of our whole family?"

"Why do you believe her?"

"The Nine Princesses are really a good idea to fight!"

"Tut-tut, are we really stupid? Leave her alone and rush over together!"

The voices come and go, and if you look closely, it's hard to tell, these people are very good at hiding in the crowd, but as soon as they say a word, they will retract their heads and change their positions.

Xia Ji sat in the dark, and the distant voice could naturally enter his ears, but he just exhaled lightly and continued to recuperate, while warming the rosary with no more than no less.

Before the war, his sister-in-law once looked for him and told him seriously, "The male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside, and he doesn't have to worry about the affairs in the city", so he didn't care.

In front of the east gate, the wind and snow were endless, and the princess's face was immersed in darkness, and the voices of these mobs came to her ears, but her expression was calm, and then when these voices were on the verge of the highest peak, she suddenly clapped her hands.

The sound of her clapping hands was soft,

But oddly enough,

Every time she patted, the crowd shouted a little less,

After three shots, the mob that stormed the south gate was much smaller.

By the time I hit five more times, the clamor had completely disappeared.

The dead mingled in patched clothes and stared at the mob they were following during the day, and the princess clapped her hands.

When the signal fell, they cut off the heads of the mob with daggers.

Later, the dead men hid in the crowd and shouted.

"Ungrateful villain, without the mercy of the royal daughter, you would have starved to death on the streets!"

"I'm more willing to believe in the princess than the big cow!"

"There's no one better than the Ninth Princess!"

"Think about it carefully, except for the princess, who really cares about us? The ninth princess is a benevolent female bodhisattva!"

"On behalf of all the poor people in the west of the city, I am willing to support the Ninth Princess, if anyone makes a fuss, he will be a troublemaker and a powerful lackey!"

"I saw these people sneak to the house of the powerful to get the bounty, they are traitors!"

"Nonsense, we are all refugees..."

"Yo he, I saw you eat the big fish and meat of the powerful family, if you really didn't eat it, then quickly cut open your stomach to prove your innocence, if there is no fish in your stomach, then you didn't eat it!"

“......”

"Kill him, he's a traitor!"

"I didn't eat... I really didn't eat it!ahhhhh

"Hehe, do you really think that when the soldiers outside enter the city, life will be better? Youben asked them to send a thousand carts of grain in advance, and when it is delivered, I may admit that life will really be good. ”

The sound was one-sided.

The clamor was filled with a strange wind of demagogy.

Xia Ji, who was listening in the distance, couldn't hold back and laughed directly.

He remembered what Xia Xiaosu was writing at the desk a few days ago, and went over to read it himself, but she still blocked it with her hand, blushing and not letting herself look at it...

That's all for it.

This sister of mine actually bit the tip of the pen and carefully studied the "words" of coaxing the mob, and now she has intensified and returned them all?

This woman's eighteen changes are also an overnight awakening.

Those behind the scenes heard these words arranged by Xiao Su, and they didn't know if they would vomit blood.

There were now three groups of people in the crowd.

A people who do not know the truth and are easily deceived.

The dead are pretending to be people.

A mob arranged by the magnates.

The dead soldiers shouted the lines that the princess had told them to memorize in advance, while looking for the "mob", and whoever spoke went up and stabbed them directly.

Those "mobs" also wanted to resist, but at most they would have some crop controls, which could be compared to these dead men who were dedicated to killing, so gradually, these mobs were silent.

They listened to the familiar words and couldn't believe their ears.

But that's not all...

During this time, the ninth princess has been enduring it, that is, she is checking the mob, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, and the dead soldiers have long followed and found those mobs, even if they don't speak, the dead soldiers can find them and kill them.

There was a strange atmosphere at the scene, and the refugees who hit the city gate were suddenly "touched" by the princess who stepped forward.

Xia Xiaosu shouted: "Don't kill it, you are all ordinary people in the imperial capital, and each of you is important." ”

But...

The crowd of agitated "people" no longer listened to her, and frantically slaughtered the mob whose faces had long been memorized, while the other people, too, were infected by the princess and began to fall to the other side.

Xia Xiaosu looked at this scene, recalling the scene a few days ago when she set up a porridge shop, but was insulted and thrown stones by these mobs, she sighed softly.

Since ancient times, the true feelings cannot be retained, and only routines can win the hearts of the people.

After all, good and evil are only the end, and the process is victory or defeat.

It is the victor who decides whether to be good or evil.

With a turn of her gaze, she suddenly turned sideways into the darkness, and several fox palace maids followed her away.

Now the chaos, such a clear impact, is really not in line with the means of the people behind the scenes, if it were her, she would definitely attack the east and west, pretending to open the east gate to attract attention, but in fact she was going to open other city gates to let the army outside the city enter the city.

And this city gate, which is very well estimated with reference to geography, is the south gate.

Today is her time to prove herself.

She wouldn't leave her brother alone anymore.

At this time, the South Gate...

A man pressed the hat, dressed in black, like a ghost in the night in the wind and snow, and ran quickly, the wind and snow did not stain his body, and he soon came to the stone house where the city gate captain was.

There were dead soldiers arranged by Xia Xiaosu around the room to guard, but the man in black blended into the night, and between raising his hand, he spat in the air, and before the dead man could speak, five sharp fingerprints appeared on his skull, and all the blood and brains were frozen as soon as they were about to flow out.

After cleaning up the four dead soldiers, the black-clothed man came to the door of the stone house, knocked on the door with the agreed code, and said in an urn voice: "It's time." ”

The candle flame in the stone house was extinguished, and a dark shadow came out of the door, and the two climbed the city wall, followed by four more armor soldiers running towards the city gate, preparing to quietly open the city gate.

However, they did not succeed.

Because in front of the city gate, the Nine Emperor Maidens crossed their hair and robes, held a closed white plum umbrella, and were sitting on a wooden chair in front of the door, and beside her were six charming palace maids.

Seeing the armor coming, the two palace maids in front directly pulled out their long knives and greeted them. The sword light cut through the cold wind flashed like Bai Lian, and between the twists and turns, the two palace maids had swept behind the armor like a swift wind, and before the four of them could see anything clearly, their heads fell to the ground.

Not much.

On the city wall, the man in black suddenly frowned, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, turning into a cold whirlwind and rushing towards the city, and the Nine Emperor Maidens patted the handrails, and the four palace maids came out of the ranks, walked into the darkness, and greeted them.

...

At this point...

Outside the city, the army gathered outside the east gate, bluffing on the snowy night, but the elite all gathered at the south gate, just waiting for the city gate to open, and then rushed into the city.

...

Further away.

In the darkness of the snowy day, the huge humanoid silhouette flashed away.

And these outlines are already close.

...

Xia Ji ate three catties of beef, drank a pot of wine, grabbed the Great Dark Sky Halberd, and walked into the night of this snowstorm imperial city.
