Chapter 37: The Finale

"Let her come!"

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered the soldiers not to stop Yeluyan. Shu Yu Ye Luyan jumped off the horse and strode forward, holding the package in his hand.

"Did you get it?" said the Queen Mother with a rare smile.

Ye Luyan nodded vigorously, and at the same time threw the package in her hand to the feet of the Queen Mother, the white package spread out to reveal a head inside, rolled a few times, and the face that had turned gray and white faced the Queen Mother coldly, and in an instant, the smile froze at the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, and her eyes showed a sense of incredible surprise.

"It's—it's--"

The Queen Mother staggered back and looked around blankly, Zhuoma held her shaking body in time, glanced at the head on the ground hurriedly, and immediately screamed.

"Da Sima!"

Yeluyan made a gesture, and the soldiers who followed her immediately rushed into the army around the queen mother's tent, and slaughtered everyone while they were still immersed in shock and did not have the opportunity to come to their senses. And there were also Yeluyan's men and horses in ambush behind, and after getting the signal, they immediately surrounded it, and the surrounding area fell into a purgatory-like slaughter field.

The old man with a white beard on the ground was none other than Da Sima Wanyan Lie.

"Father-dear!" the Queen Mother called out with difficulty, and a sad look poured into her eyes, which was instantly replaced by hatred.

"The daughter of the Yelu family, do you think that if you kill my father, you can destroy the entire Wanyan family?"

Yeluyan stood silent, the last warrior on a war horse behind her did not dismount, and he slowly took off his helmet, revealing a face that was familiar to everyone.

"Yes, Wanyan Nuoji, neither you nor Wanyan Lie can represent the Wanyan family, it is you who overestimate your own strength and put your will above the entire family without authorization. He made a majestic ruling in a calm and powerful voice.

The Queen Mother's body trembled a little, she pointed at the person and said tremblingly: "You, aren't you already--"

Her fierce gaze swept over the dark corner, the impermanence of the night messenger had disappeared, fear crept over her heart, and then she realized that she was already a woman who had been ruthlessly abandoned by the luck of the wolf god.

"Aren't I already dead?" Xiao Xuanchen's mouth showed a usual lazy smile, "Lord Wolf God seems to favor me a little more, I'm still alive." Captain of the Imperial Wind Guard, why are you in such a hurry to leave, don't you want to stay and drink a cup of hot tea from our Wuyang guests?"

"Yufeng has completed his mission, and he must go back immediately to tell Childe about the situation. A calm voice rang out in the darkness.

Xiao Xuanchen smiled slightly, these two people had obviously reached some kind of tacit understanding, and he didn't know this tacit understanding at all. Only then did the Queen Mother realize that her every step had been in the calculations of others, but she was at a loss, since the night messenger came to Wuyang to meet her, all the plans had been silently rolled out, and this defeat was really convincing.

"Even if you kill me and my father, you still can't destroy the entire Wanyan family. The Queen Mother said stubbornly, hatred completely blinded her eyes, spewing out the fire of anger, hatred could not destroy everything around her.

"The Wanyan family still controls the most powerful army in Wuyang Kingdom, and we also have the 'Tiger Ben Battalion', as well as the god of war Wanyan Jing and his 50,000 soldiers. The clash between the 'Tiger Battalion' and the 'Ghost Blade Wolf Knife' is sure to be the most tragic battle ever. ”

The Queen Mother's emotions were out of control, and she excitedly pushed Zhuoma away and tried to approach Xiao Xuanchen. Yeluyan immediately drew his sword and aimed it at her chest as a warning.

Xiao Xuanchen was dismissive of this, and he smiled and said, "I have already said that you and your father are not representative of the entire Wanyan family. Do you really think that the Wanyan family will betray Wu Yangguo? You are wrong, you are the only ones who betrayed me and Wu Yangguo, you will pay the price for your stupidity, and those who see the situation clearly will get the final benefits. ”

The Queen Mother stopped suddenly, she looked at Xiao Xuanchen in surprise, she seemed to think of something, waved her hand weakly, her face was pale, her lips moved but she couldn't speak anymore.

Xiao Xuanchen didn't care about her feelings, he raised his head slightly and looked at the starry night sky, and continued: "You should have guessed that the person who killed your father will be the god of war Wanyan Jing from now on, and the war outside has nothing to do with Wu Yang, it's just that your Wanyan family is doing the final cleaning." ”

"This is impossible!" the Queen Mother was finally able to speak, her voice low and her words struggling to speak, "Everyone knows that you killed Yan Jing's own nephew, and that nephew is rumored to be his own illegitimate son, and he will never forgive you." You're stalling for time, you're confusing the public!"

Her voice grew high-pitched, and finally it was almost madly roaring, mixed with terrible laughter.

Xiao Xuanchen glanced at her compassionately, sighed, and said, "Who said that I killed Yan Jing's own nephew?"

"It's Wan Yan Jing who said it himself......" The Queen Mother stopped abruptly.

If even Yu Feng had some kind of deal with him, then who can guarantee that Wan Yan Jing and him have not reached a tacit understanding? In this way, this plan has started three years ago, and the man in front of him is young and usually cynical, but his scheming is really ......

The Queen Mother's eyes were dark, she suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and Zhuoma beside her called her eagerly with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Xuanchen turned the horse's head, and before leaving, he exchanged glances with Ye Luyan, who stroked his chest and lowered his head very respectfully, which was a sign of surrender. Yelu Yan watched Xiao Xuanchen leave, she calmly found two soldiers, untied the cloth belt around her waist, and pointed to the Queen Mother who was in a coma and Zhuoma who was stealing the sky and the earth.

"She is the queen mother of Wuyang, and she should have a very decent way to die. ”

Xiao Xuanchen slowly drove his horse forward, he walked south, the night sky was still deep, at this time, the sky in the south was shining with a bright star, and the dazzling Sirius was silently guarding the Vozra steppe.

Is it all over?

Xiao Xuanchen's gaze continued to look in the southeast direction, his gaze seemed to have passed through the darkness, and even crossed countless lofty mountains, mountains, forests and grasslands, and came to the rolling Qilian Mountains. He seemed to see the mighty armies there, row after row, row after row, lurking between the mountains, all over the wilderness, endlessly.

He knew very well that every step he took was walking on thin ice, and every step could not be wrong, and that ally who was eyeing him all the time, he had been staring at his steps behind his back, and as long as there was a slight flaw in one step, he would not hesitate to wave his troops north and come down to the city.

Even now that he has mastered the situation in the entire Wuyang, he can still feel the threat of the edge on his back, and that feeling seems to be even more urgent.

Zhuang Meiyan returned to the palace of the royal court, and the frightened Suna and the others invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

Chunju's mouth was fast, and she hurriedly asked: "Queen, where have you been? The slaves and maids are about to die of worry, Aunt Suna said that you feel bored and panicked, go out to breathe, why have you been there for so long!

Chunju has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and her relationship with Zhuang Meiyan is extraordinary for master and servant, so she poured out all her worries. Zhuang Meiyan was silent, and lay down on the side of the stone bed with his clothes, leaving only a back for them.

Snow Kite was much more cautious, and while serving her to lie down, she carefully persuaded her: "It's good that the queen comes back safely, what does the outside have to do with us, shouting and killing is just a man's business." The queen must be tired, so let's rest. ”

Chunju still had many questions in her heart, but she was forcibly pulled out by the snow kite. Suna walked at the end, she looked at Zhuang Meiyan's back worriedly, and finally sighed, raised her hand and pressed the mechanism to slowly close the stone door.

She's tired!

Her eyes were closed but they were no different from those open, and there were always some messy scenes in her mind.

Yeluyan's long sword struck through the air, and she thought she was going to die, but it was only dark in front of her. The darkness was real, her feelings were still there, and soon she realized that the other party had only extinguished the candlelight in the tent, and the woman had already walked out of the tent, and she heard Yeluyan giving orders outside to gather troops.

But there was another person in the tent, and there was another person besides her, and their breathing slowly coincided. Strong arms, warm embrace, her body did not tremble, her heart always sank to the bottom, no surprise, no sigh, no joy.

He deceived her once, and he deceived her a second time, and a third time, and even a fool that never stopped—because he felt that he needed it, and as long as he needed it, then every person, every object, including himself, was nothing more than a pawn on a huge chessboard, at his disposal.

She's tired, she's really tired!

She let the other party hug and caress without resistance. Her indifference made the other party a little scared, and the hug tightened.

"Listen to me...... Lady, this is the last time I lie to you. I'll tell you the whole story...... Listen to me, I'm just ...... with Yeluyan."

"May I go?" she interrupted his incoherent speech wearily.

Silence, suffocating silence. In an instant he erupted, almost rudely cupping her face, and as his fingertips slid over her skin, she immediately remembered that terrible night, and her body trembled uncontrollably. He sensed this and immediately controlled his impulses.

"I'm sorry, girl!" his voice was full of annoyance and helplessness, "how can you forgive me? ”

She lowered her head slightly, and whispered, "Why can't you give me a way out? Even if he is thousands of miles away, he will find a final way to retreat for me, but you must force me to move forward, even if there is a dead end in front of me, and you will not let me turn back." ”

The warm embrace stiffened, the cold seeping into the man's body, and she could easily break free from his embrace.

Before leaving, she heard the man ask in a deep voice, "Does this have to be the way to solve all the problems?"

Does she have to run away?

Xiao Xuanchen stared at the stone wall in front of him, the tightly closed door of the stone room did not open at all, the truth had been revealed, but the woman still insisted on staying here, everyone's persuasion did not work, she stubbornly refused to come out.

Today is the tenth day, and Xiao Xuanchen knows very well that no matter how long he waits outside, that woman will never forgive herself. Any explanation is futile.

Now that the truth is revealed, the people of Wuyang Kingdom already know that everything is a conspiracy planned by Wan Yan Lie and his daughter, the former Empress Dowager Wan Yan Nuoji, who tried in vain to murder the lord of the country and frame the queen.

Chunju and Snow Kite were even more anxious, and every time they went in to serve the queen, they would tell the queen the news, but Zhuang Meiyan was always silent about it. The lord of the kingdom has shown rare patience - as a king, he did not need to be so wronged, everything he did was done with a clear conscience, for the country, for the people.

In the eyes of Chunju and others, the lord's favor to the queen is almost to the point of no return, even if the queen is angry, there must be a limit. Every day, the lord of the kingdom always stood outside the door of the stone chamber for a while, for different lengths, as long as he had free time, he would come, and watched the man stand there silently, like a monk who had thought about the wall, and hung alone.

Chunju hid in the corner, looking at Xiao Xuanchen's figure sympathetically, and after a while, she retracted her head again, and sighed in a low voice: "Our good queen, when is this going to be troublesome! Everything must also have a degree, after all, the lord of the country is the lord of a country, and he always doesn't want to see him, what kind of thing is this? After all, they are husband and wife, and they can't never meet each other for the rest of their lives like enemies." Besides, there are rumors in the outside world that the aristocratic families are inquiring about this matter, and they want to send their daughters to the palace to serve the lord of the country - even if they are slaves. ”

"Wouldn't it be bad if any woman took advantage of it. ”

After thinking about it, Chunju couldn't help but want to go over and help the lord of the country beg the queen for a few words. Every time the lord of the kingdom came over, he always didn't say a word, and if they hadn't deliberately made irresponsible remarks in front of the queen, I'm afraid the queen wouldn't have known about it at all.

Snow Kite pulled her and said angrily: "Good girl, I know that you are distressed by the master, but this matter, let's not mix it up." If the lord of the country has the heart to accept a concubine, whether the queen changes her mind or not will not affect his decision, I think, our queen is not against him taking a concubine, don't look at the eldest lady of the Yelu family The queen and the lord of the country had a very fierce quarrel, in fact, if you think about it carefully, I am afraid that there is something strange inside. ”

"Our queen is well-informed and well-versed in the world, don't you think that her behavior in those days was a little abnormal? I'm afraid it was done on purpose. Snow Kite thinks that things are not so simple, the matter between these two people is only understood by the two of them, and we are just outsiders in the end. ”

After saying this, Chunju seemed to understand whether she understood or not, she frowned and said: "I don't understand insiders and outsiders, I only know that the relationship between the lord and the queen is not easy to come by, I hope that Lord Wolf God will pity them, don't let the two of them separate." ”

As she spoke, she folded her hands and muttered to herself, as if in prayer.

Snow Kite also sighed and said, "Yes, I hope they don't let each other down, there is no knot in the world that cannot be untied, and the knot in the heart is the same." Snow Kite only hopes that the lord and queen will not repeat the mistakes of the prince and princess. ”

Suna shook her head slowly and said, "The knot in the queen's heart can only be untied by herself, because the knot is tied by herself." ”

While they were hiding in the corner outside the stone wall and whispering, Oni Ges and Oni Bu were also looking at the back of the lord from a distance.

"Okay, brother. This is my last bag of good wine, and I lost to you again today. Ghost Gus sighed.

He made a bet with the ghost that the queen would see the lord of the kingdom today, and the ghost did not leave the queen and thought that the queen might never see the lord of the kingdom again.

"Look, tomorrow the queen will see the lord of the kingdom. "Ghost Gus was not convinced.

The ghost shrugged.

"Otherwise, we will continue to gamble, and we will ......"

The wine has been lost, Ghost Gus frowned and tried to think about what rare things he could take to gamble, usually his brother would not look at them, the wine he used as a bet was brewed by the queen herself, the taste was unforgettable, but unfortunately with the queen's current mood, he could not drink it for a long, long time.

As he was trying to think about it, he suddenly turned his head vigilantly, forced his eyes to look at a figure that quietly appeared behind him, and whispered, "Who?"

"It's me!"

The slow, deep voice revealed a sense of majesty, and the woman's expression became more and more like that of a man. Ghost Gus looked at Yeluyan, she was wearing black samurai soft armor, carrying a long sword at her waist, if it weren't for the delicate braids on her head, then her appearance was no different from that of a man.

"I want to see him!" Ye Luyan's eyes looked directly at Xiao Xuanchen.

Ghost Gus stopped, "The lord of the kingdom has said that no one is allowed to disturb him. ”

"I have 100,000 urgent military reports to report, and I must see him. Yeluyan said in a deep voice.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Ghost Gus, a look of contempt that nearly caused the latter to draw his cutlass and confront her. The ghost did not leave in time to stop his brother's impulse, and he said coldly: "General Yeluyan, I can convey it on my behalf." ”

Yeluyan pursed her lips and deliberately said loudly: "Lord of the country, Qi Yangshan has sent a secret report, the military situation is urgent, please decide as soon as possible!"

Qiyang Mountain!

Ghost Gus's eyebrows jumped, Ghost Buli raised his head slightly, and the two of them inhaled in unison, is it them?

Xiao Xuanchen finally turned around and walked over slowly.

"Where's the secret report?"

Yeluyan replied unhurriedly, "Lord of the Kingdom, the secret message has been presented to your tent, and the messenger is waiting for you there. ”

Xiao Xuanchen's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to Ghost Gus and Ghost Buli, and the three of them walked out of the dungeon quickly.

Yeluyan didn't leave with them, she waited until she couldn't see Xiao Xuanchen's back, then she clapped her hands, and out of the shadows came out a few black-clothed soldiers who landed silently with their hands and feet, and they tiptoed close to the stone room under Yeluyan's signal, and Yeluyan slowly activated the mechanism.

After a while, Suna and the others had gossiped enough, and poked their heads out to look, the passage was empty, and the lord of the country had already left. Chunju and Snow Kite laughed and prepared to go over to serve the queen, and the two of them couldn't help but be surprised when they came to the door of the stone room, the door of the stone room was open, and there was no one inside.

What about the queens?

The black cloth in front of him was untied, and the cloth in his mouth was also removed, and Zhuang Meiyan, who had been freed, narrowed his eyes and looked at the surrounding situation. The surrounding area is empty, and there are tall halls, and there are stones surrounding them. This place is a little familiar, Zhuang Meiyan pinched his temples, and finally came to his senses.

Isn't this the palace above the royal court? This is the space used for judgment, could it be that the judgment Zhuang Meiyan frowned and looked at the person on the high platform, today's judge is not Lord Yelu but her daughter Yeluyan. There was no one in the spectator seat, so it could be said that there were only two of them in the entire hall.

"Zhuang Meiyan, haven't you been waiting for a trial, this trial is a little late for both of us. Jeruyan proclaimed majestically.

Zhuang Meiyan calmed down, she stroked her abdomen with one hand, and looked at Yeluyan with her head held high.

"You want to sentence me to death? It's not too late, but I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications. ”

Ye Luyan smiled confidently and said, "I didn't have it before, but yesterday I officially took over my father's position and became the chief secretary of Wuyang Kingdom. ”

Zhuang Mei's face changed slightly, and her expression was a little incredulous. Although Wu Yangguo is not as conservative as Wushuangguo, he is by no means open enough to agree to a daughter who will become a different surname in the future to inherit her father's power and manage the entire family, let alone allow her to participate in the affairs of the entire country, which sounds very absurd and more like a child's play.

But Zhuang Meiyan had no doubts about the accuracy of this news - that man's behavior was always unexpected.

"So you--"

Ye Luyan guessed the doubts in her heart, and smiled indifferently: "Then I can't have a formal marriage contract in my life, I must never marry any man, let alone have children, I must ensure that after my death, I can completely return the power to the family - this is the bargaining chip I exchanged." ”

"That is to say, any woman in the Yelu family can enter his harem, but I, Yeluyan, will never have that possibility. Ye Luyan added: "Actually, I have the opportunity to choose, he said that I can only choose one thing between power and favor, and I think I will never regret my decision." ”

Looking at the woman's haughty face, she seemed to be showing off her achievements to herself.

Zhuang Meiyan smiled knowingly, her smile was somewhat mocking. This smile was inevitably a little uncomfortable in Ye Luyan's eyes, and she shouted: "What are you laughing at? I can kill you anytime and anywhere, because I have such power now, and I have the right to pronounce your guilt - even if he comes, he can't fight against the law, this ancient law was made by the wolf god, and no one dares to disobey it." ”

Actually, these are excuses. Ye Luyan, you wanted to kill me for a long time, you had this idea in your heart from the moment you knew me, but you didn't dare. Zhuang Meiyan looked at Ye Luyan calmly.

"I know you've known him for a long time, and he appreciates your abilities, as evidenced by his constant promotions. If he has the heart to accept you as a concubine, no one can stop him, including me, you are a very proud woman, so there are some things you dare not gamble on. ”

This sentence stabbed Ye Luyan to the core, and she got up and pressed the long sword at her waist with her hand. The light of the setting sun poured into the royal court through the gaps in the stone pillars, staining the magnificent building a dark red blood. Xiao Xuanchen rushed into the royal court as fast as he could, he didn't expect Ye Luyan to be so bold that he would use the excuse of the urgency of the military situation to transfer him away and judge Zhuang Meiyan alone.

When he heard the news of Zhuang Meiyan's disappearance, he immediately launched a city-wide search, but he ignored this most conspicuous place - he did not expect that Yeluyan would disobey his orders and bring people to the royal court to start the trial without his permission.

Such a trial is invalid, but that's not the point, just in case, just in case......

He didn't dare to imagine it.

When Xiao Xuanchen saw the petite figure in front of the judgment seat standing there alone, his hanging heart was only half relieved.

"Lady, are you okay, what did she do to you, did she hurt you?" Xiao Xuanchen desperately held her in his arms and looked at her body in a panic.

It's okay, it's okay, she's fine.

"Is this another scam on your part?" Zhuang Meiyan said softly.

Xiao Xuanchen's body stiffened, he didn't dare to look at the other party's eyes, he could only hang his head slightly.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"

"You asked her to explain to me, your plans, your strategies, all this, I already know. Zhuang Mei's face was expressionless.

"So now you can tell me, what was your answer to the last time I asked you?"

Her words were gentle and calm, no longer an impulsive rebuke, but a calm waiting.

"Okay. Xiao Xuanchen gently took her hand, "Follow me, I'll give you the answer." ”

As the sun set, two white horses slowly moved along the barren Vozra steppe, facing the afterglow of the sun, and the figures of two knights, a man and a woman, dragged longer and longer. The horses walked leisurely, unhurriedly, occasionally stopping to nibble on the weeds on the ground. Further on, there is the bare Sola Mountain, a crimson stone mountain that looks like it is on fire in the setting sun.

Xiao Xuanchen slowly drove the horse, and the two walked side by side, holding the reins of the two horses in his hands.

"Where are you taking me?" Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help but ask.

They left Winkoll and galloped until they came to the foot of Mount Sola, the sun was setting and it was getting dark, what did this guy want?

"You ask me if I can give you a way out, I want to tell you that I have a way out, and if you say go, I will accompany you without hesitation. ”

They stopped in front of a huge stone wall, Xiao Xuanchen touched a certain position on the stone wall a few times, and the stone wall silently melted into a black hole. Zhuang Meiyan's eyes widened, she couldn't believe her eyes, this wall was obviously smooth and nothing, why could that guy open a door with a few clicks out of thin air, this, this, is not human power at all.

Zhuang Meiyan seemed to know Xiao Xuanchen for the first time, she looked at the man next to her in surprise, it turned out that he had many secrets that she didn't know. Her surprise was in Xiao Xuanchen's expectation, he had stepped into that black hole, and it was unusually dark inside, as if there was nothingness, Xiao Xuanchen turned his head and stretched out his finger to her, smiling and motioning for her to come in with him.

Zhuang Meiyan hesitantly clenched his fingers and carefully took steps.

The world suddenly vanished.

Zhuang Meiyan stepped into this black hole and found that this was not an ordinary stone cave, there was nothing here, front and back, left and right, and up and down, only the dark nothingness, and even the entrance of the cave had disappeared. Her heart immediately panicked, this darkness was completely different from the darkness of the night she had seen, it was absolutely dark, there was not even a trace of light, she felt a little difficult to breathe, she did not dare to move, she could only hold his arm tightly.

Thankfully, the feeling was still there, and she was able to touch his presence.

"Don't be afraid, it's safe here, it's just no light. Xiao Xuanchen comforted her.

"Where is this?" This happened completely beyond the scope of her thoughts, this was too weird, the stone wall without an opening would automatically dissolve into a black hole, and there was a void inside.

Who is this man? Who is he?

"Xiaobai. Zhuang Meiyan suddenly broke free of her fingers and touched the man next to her, his arms, his chest, his mouth, nose, and eyes...... In the end, she put her arms around his neck firmly, she couldn't see anything in the dark, even if she held him as if he had disappeared, she suddenly felt sad like she had never felt before, and she could only hug him tighter and tighter.

Xiao Xuanchen obediently bent down and lowered his head, so that the little woman could touch his body smoothly, she stood on tiptoe and hugged her neck hard, it was a little tight, he was almost out of breath, but he still laughed happily.

The cold liquid wet his cheeks, and the little woman sobbed in his arms, crying harder and harder.

"Xiaobai. ”

"Xiaobai, are you here?"

Her voice was full of fear, Xiao Xuanchen knew that she was scared, and quickly replied softly, "I'm here." ”

"Is that you?" the absolute darkness made her lose her most basic judgment.

Xiao Xuanchen hugged her, her body finally stopped resisting him, but approached his body very obediently, and he carefully kissed her forehead, eyes, and neck...... Finally, the lips.

After some lingering, the two reluctantly separated.

"Believe it now, I'm your little white. Xiao Xuanchen held her face and said softly.

Vision is equal to zero in such a place, and it is impossible for them to see each other no matter how much time has passed.

"What kind of place is this?" Zhuang Meiyan still couldn't hide her fear, human beings have an instinctive fear of darkness, and she was no exception, but with him by her side, she felt a little secure in her heart.

"How am I going to explain this to you?" his voice sounded a little distressed, "this is a space-time gap, so there's nothing here, just nothingness...... Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's absolutely safe to be by my side, you just need to know that. ”

"Come, let's sit down first, you listen to me tell a story, some things must be beyond your imagination, I can only promise to do my best to explain it to you. ”

This story may be a bit long, but Zhuang Meiyan is willing to listen to him.

I'm a space-time programmer, and you don't need to understand what that name represents, you just need to know that I'm not from your time. I came to you unexpectedly on a mission, and I think something went wrong with my instruments, and I had to live in your barbaric age.

As someone who travels back and forth between time and space, this happens all the time, and the last time I was stuck in Earth time for two Earth years in a time called the "21st century", I loved that place, and I learned a lot of interesting things there, like the dance I taught you to dance.

But I'm more obsessed with it in comparison.

Because this is the only place where you will be met.

“...... That's it, I can take you out of this plane and go to live somewhere else, it's a new kind of life, no one will know the two of us, no one will know where we came from, just the two of us, no, the three of us, and the little one. Xiao Xuanchen covered Zhuang Meiyan's bulging lower abdomen with his big hand, looking forward to it gently.

When he finished saying these words, he found that the woman did not respond, which also made him a little uneasy.

"You don't like to leave here?" Xiao Xuanchen asked tentatively, "Or are you dissatisfied with the retreat I prepared?"

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Meiyan hesitated and said, "Actually...... I don't understand what you mean. Do you want to say that we don't want to be the lord and queen of this country, and go to live an ordinary life?"

Xiao Xuanchen smiled slightly and said, "It's okay for you to understand it like this, let's go and live an ordinary life." ”

"Are you really willing to be the lord of the country?" Zhuang Meiyan couldn't believe it.

He has worked hard to gain a position, and the strategic organs have used everything, how can it be said that he can be thrown away?

"Between the trade-offs, as long as the lady has a word. Xiao Xuanchen said softly.

"You're lying to me again. Zhuang Meiyan suddenly beat his chest angrily, and said angrily: "What is the trade-off, it is clear that I want to be a sinner for the ages." Even if I'm self-willed, I can't--"

She stiffly stopped her words, and she stared at the guy with some anger, and although she couldn't see anything here, she could still imagine the smug smile on the guy's face.

It seems that the trick has been hit.

Zhuang Meiyan was remorseful and silent.

Xiao Xuanchen couldn't hold back a smile, shook her body uncomfortably and said, "Lady, why don't you keep talking, your husband has never felt that you are willful." The lady is wise and martial, is a generation of virtuous queens, the country's idea wants to retire to the rivers and lakes, do not ask about the world, thanks to the lady's bitter heart, the tongue of the lotus flower will be the heart of the country's lord to convince the mouth, in the future will be a change of heart, strive to be a generation of sages, leave a name in history, eternal love. ”

This guy is a standard scoundrel temperament, and if he relaxes a little, he will take advantage of the situation, full of gibberish, and there is no shape at all.

Zhuang Meiyan didn't want to pay attention to him, but he couldn't help but laugh when he said something, and finally laughed out loud.

"Necros! She snorted.

Hearing this familiar reproach, Xiao Xuanchen's heart was filled with sweetness, and he knew that even if he had stepped over this hurdle.

"Yes, yes, I'm bad, I'm the worst in the world. I tortured people so much that they couldn't sleep every night, I tortured people to drink alcohol every day, I locked people out of the door in anger, I said I wouldn't see them, and it was useless to beg for them......"

"Humph!"

Xiao Xuanchen swallowed the rest of the complaints into her stomach with some grievances, nervous, for fear that she would make trouble again.

"You've done something wrong yourself, and you're justified!"

"Yes, yes, yes. He repeatedly, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have ...... that day." Drunk and immoral, I ......"

The words of apology were particularly difficult to say, and he had always been articulate, but by this time he had actually stammered.

"It's good to know, I didn't have a plan to forgive you before the child was born, no, I didn't think about forgiving you at all, or no, I--" Zhuang Meiyan rolled her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, since you also admit that you are drunk and immoral, I will punish you as compensation." ”

The lady wanted to be angry, Xiaobai naturally didn't dare to resist, and obediently tied her hands and was arrested.

"Let the lady dispose of it!"

"Confiscate the tools of the crime!"

"Ah?!" Xiao Xuanchen was shocked, subconsciously protecting his "little brother", and shouted in his heart, "This is too cruel, isn't it?"

"It's just that I don't let you drink, what's so cruel about that!" Zhuang Meiyan said dissatisfiedly.

Xiao Xuanchen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Good punishment! Good punishment!"

"It's not too early, shouldn't we go back?" Zhuang Meiyan is a woman after all, although she has a beloved by her side, she still has an inexplicable fear of the dark, and she is very uneasy to stay in this unclear place.

"Okay, let's go back, you close your eyes first, and then open them when I say open them. ”

Xiao Xuanchen took her hand, Zhuang Meiyan closed her eyes obediently, she didn't feel the movement of her body, she only felt that light suddenly appeared in front of her, even if she closed her eyes, she could feel the brightness brought by the light through her eyelids.

"Take your time, try to keep your eyes open now, and keep your eyes closed if you can't stand it. Xiao Xuanchen tied her eyes with a handkerchief, which helped to avoid light irritation.

Zhuang Meiyan felt him carry himself onto the horse, and through the handkerchief he could vaguely see some scenes, and the sun was still hanging on the side of the mountain. Slightly surprised, she tore off her handkerchief and looked at the sun in disbelief. That's right, the sun was in that position just now, and the two of them had been in it for at least half an hour, so why didn't the sun move at all? What the hell happened?

She glanced at Xiao Xuanchen in confusion, who held her with one hand, shook off the reins with the other, and shouted.

"Drive!"

What time and space, what kind of shuttle, what does that mean?

When Zhuang Meiyan and Xiao Xuanchen returned to Wen Kuoer, it was already dark. Ghost Buli and Ghost Gus were anxiously guarding ten miles outside the city, and they were greatly relieved to see the figures of the two of them. Once the lord and queen of the country go crazy, it is really terrible, and these two subordinates are bitter in their hearts.

When they returned to the gate of the city, they saw from afar a group of men kneeling there motionless.

Ghost Ges glanced at Zhuang Meiyan, and said to Xiao Xuanchen hesitantly: "Lord of the country, that's Lord Sima Yelu, she has been kneeling there for an hour. ”

Xiao Xuanchen bowed slightly, noncommittal.

This matter can be big or small, and it is certainly wrong for Yeluyan to judge the queen without authorization, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that she did not do anything unfavorable to the queen, but on the contrary, she also promoted the reconciliation between the lord and the queen. But after all, this offended the queen, if it was someone else, it would be okay, but it was her, and the new and old hatreds of these two women really couldn't be counted.

Ghost Gus was a little uneasy, he didn't dare to intercede with Yeluyan, so he could only look at Ghost Buli, hoping that his brother could help him say something, Ghost Bu was indifferent to the wood, which made Ghost Gus hate the root of his teeth.

"I'll send you back. Xiao Xuanchen leaned over and said to Zhuang Meiyan.

"Okay!" Zhuang Meiyan didn't look at the woman kneeling in front of the horse.

When they walked through the city gate, Zhuang Meiyan suddenly turned her head and said to Xiao Xuanchen: "You go, I can do it myself." ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will let her go?" Xiao Xuanchen bit her ear and whispered.

"Are you going to kill her?" Zhuang Meiyan asked rhetorically.

Xiao Xuanchen was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

Zhuang Meiyan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You should really be glad that nothing happened to you and her that night, otherwise--"

Her voice grew lower and lower, her eyes sly sly. Xiao Xuanchen laughed, dismounted, said a few words to the ghost, and walked out of the city gate.

Winter is coming quietly, but according to Wu Yang's habits, it is not really winter when the first snow has not yet fallen on the earth, but the weather is really getting colder.

A fire dragon rose from under the tent, and the heat was so overwhelming that they had to open the curtain of the tent to release some heat. Zhuang Meiyan stood in the open space, looking down at his feet with great effort, his body that had been almost seven months old was so stupid that he could barely see his toes. She thought she must have looked ridiculous, with a round belly, walking and swaying, probably like a big white goose.

Just thinking about doing some needlework, who knew that the thread ball accidentally fell to the ground, I wanted to go down to the ground to pick it up, who knew that the body was bulky, and I couldn't see clearly where the thread ball fell, and I turned all over the ground, and finally saw it clearly, but I couldn't bend down to pick it up. She struggled to half-squat and reached for the ball.

"Oops!" Snow Kite walked into the tent, saw this scene head-on, was startled, and hurriedly came over to help her up, "This kind of thing is good for the slave maid to come, the queen carefully her body." ”

Zhuang Meiyan smiled: "I'm not sick again, the prescription prescribed by Brother Jiang works in the end, it has long been out of the way, but you are all stinging by scorpions, don't let me move this, don't let me move that, I'm about to be suffocated to death by you." ”

"Who is smothering the queen?" Chunju came in from outside with a smile, and said sharply: "Hey! The slave maid just heard a rare thing from the outside, and said that she came to relieve the queen's boredom. ”

"You say it, come and hear it. Zhuang Meiyan smiled.

"Said that Chengnan is such a lazy man, he is too lazy to come on weekdays and is unwilling to lift his hands, and he doesn't even drink water. ”

Chunju said vividly, the snow kite had already leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and Zhuang Meiyan also laughed and said: "This girl is all buried people, how can there be such a lazy person, let's say that my mother baked a cake for him and hung it around his neck, and he was too lazy to turn his head and starve himself to death before eating." ”

Chunju waved her hand again and again: "No, no, no." Today he suddenly jumped out of his tent, and shouted whenever he met people, "I see a fairy, I see a fairy." ”

"It's daydreaming, a magic barrier. There are such things, but it's a fool, what's so strange about that. Zhuang Meiyan shook his head with a smile.

He said that he had a nose and eyes, and the fairy was dressed as in the painting. Chunju said, pointing to the image of the wolf god painted on the top of the tent.

In addition to the wolf body of the wolf god, the wolf god totem also has a male body statue, a female body statue, it is said that the shape of the wolf god is changeable, sometimes for a man, sometimes for a woman, sometimes for the real body to appear, he is a natural god of war, both male and female statues are wearing white armor, shining brightly.

Zhuang Meiyan didn't believe in these ghosts, and just regarded them as village gossip and laughed at them. Suna, who then entered the door, listened to Chunju's description, frowned slightly, and looked solemn.

"Suna, a lazy man daydreams, you won't believe it, right?" Zhuang Meiyan asked.

Suna shook her head and said, "I can't believe it completely, but it's not groundless, Lord Wolf God often comes to the world, and someone has seen it before." It's just a legend that if Lord Wolf God descends into the world in human form, it indicates that a great war is imminent, which is to remind us that the people of Wuyang should quickly take up arms and fight against a strong enemy. ”

Zhuang Meiyan heard what she said, so she diverted the topic, pulled the snow kite, and asked her to help her choose a beautiful pattern to make a purse.

Who knows, Snow Kite looked behind her in a daze, her face was pale, like a spell, and she didn't move.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhuang Meiyan was a little displeased, but it was a rumor, why was he scared like this. She looked at Chunju and the others again, and their expressions became dull and motionless. She suddenly felt that something was wrong, the surroundings were quiet all of a sudden, even the sound of the wind stopped, the whole world was terrifyingly quiet, Suna was pouring her a cup of hot milk tea, and there was no sound of water flowing.

Wait! Not to mention the sound of running water disappeared, Zhuang Meiyan noticed that the water flow of the hot milk tea was frozen in mid-air, and it was almost poured into the cup, and she could clearly see the trend of the water flow.

Fear suddenly took over her mind, and she turned her head with a sharp heart, and there was nothing behind her. She turned her head in panic again, and suddenly a person appeared on the couch opposite.

Suddenly, it was as if the person appeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

"Who are you, how did you get in?" Zhuang Meiyan calmed down and asked coldly.

It was a woman, dressed in white armor, her armor was soft, the kind of material made of metal she had never seen before, and it was brilliant and shining. Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help but raise her head and look at the totem on the tent, this dress was really too similar to the female figure of the wolf god.

"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just curious about who you are, is it because of you that he ruined the whole mission?"

The woman smiled, bent down to examine her carefully. This kind of gaze made Zhuang Meiyan feel very uncomfortable, and the most important thing was that the appearance of this woman was too weird, so weird that it completely exceeded her imagination, and what was going on with all the stillness around her?

"I don't like to be too noisy, still planes are beautiful, aren't they?"

The woman's smile was terrifying, and she suddenly stretched out her thumb and forefinger and pinched it into a beautiful orchid.

"Smack!" she snapped her fingers.

All the vanished sounds instantly returned to her ears, making her feel noisy and more familiar. She breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, Chunju standing by the door was helping her iron her robe, the charcoal iron was steaming, Suna had already arrived and brought a cup of hot milk tea to her, and the snow kite beside her seemed to wake up from her distraction, and said with a smile: "Slave and maid, look at the queen, this magpie herald you chose is the best." ”

Zhuang Meiyan came back to her senses, looked down, her fingers were pressed on the pattern of the magpie heralding spring, she gasped, looked left and right, there were only four of them in the tent, and there was no trace of the fifth person.

She immediately grabbed the snow kite's hand and asked sharply, "What did you just see?"

She clearly remembered that Snow Kite was looking behind her at that time, she was sure that there must have been a person standing behind her at that time, and she remembered clearly that Snow Kite's expression was very nervous, vaguely fearful, and she must have seen something unusual. She had never believed in ghosts and gods, but what she had just seen was ...... Who the hell is that woman?

Zhuang Meiyan's palms oozed cold sweat, her face was pale, this look made Xue Kite a little worried, she looked around suspiciously, and said, "Queen, the slave maid has been watching the tricks with you, and you haven't seen anything else?"

Zhuang Meiyan put down her hand dejectedly, gasped slightly, and said calmly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Chunju and Suna also felt that something was wrong and looked at her with concern. Suna brought milk tea to her and said, "Queen, drink a cup of milk tea." ”

Zhuang Meiyan took the cup in a trance, but saw that the reflection inside was the image of the woman just now, and she screamed in fright and threw the cup to the ground.

Xiao Xuanchen had just stepped into the tent, and happened to touch the teacup that had fallen to the ground, he frowned and looked at Zhuang Meiyan who was screaming on the bed, and strode over.

"What's wrong?" he asked, with his arms outstretched and taking her into his arms.

Zhuang Meiyan curled up in his arms, trembling all over, and pointed to the sky for a long time. Xiao Xuanchen and everyone raised their heads, the dome had nothing but the totems painted by colored paint, Xiao Xuanchen looked at Suna and the others with an inquiring gaze, and the latter shook their heads one after another, indicating that they did not know what was going on.

Xiao Xuanchen had no choice but to hug Zhuang Meiyan's body and comfort him softly, while letting the others exit the tent.

Zhuang Meiyan pointed to the pattern above her head with some fear, and said in a low voice: "I saw the wolf god just now!" but, but Suna and the others said that they didn't see anything, maybe I was dazzled. ”

Snuggling in her lover's arms, she finally settled down and said in a low voice, looking shy, obviously embarrassed by the gaffe just now.

Xiao Xuanchen looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "She's here!"

Zhuang Meiyan glanced at him suspiciously, what is this man still hiding from himself? The winter in the north is really different from the south, in the early winter season, there is a fierce wind, and the wind is by no means the same as the damp and soft wind in the south, and it is thrown overwhelmingly in the face, and it does not even leave you a chance to breathe. Standing on the unobstructed grassland, you will feel that your body will soon be blown through by the wind, no matter how many layers of clothing are wrapped around your body, the wind will still pierce your internal organs like a knife, so that you will not even have a hot breath left.

Iron-gray clouds floated in the sky, constantly changing shapes, piling thicker and thicker, so low that they were almost close to the northern horizon. In the far north of the grassland, a majestic city stands alone, a huge fortress made of hard granite, the color of which is the same as that of the clouds.

"There is Winkol, the heart of the savannah. ”

Duanmu Hao, dressed in a white ermine coat, said softly, standing on the hillside, stretching out his fingers to trace the outline of the city through the void, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Yufeng, this king has always wanted to see the legendary 'Golden City' with his own eyes, and this day has finally come. ”

"Congratulations to Childe!

"Are you wrong, the gates of the 'Golden City' have not yet been opened for us? ”

"Our unparalleled army of 100,000 will be able to conquer the city in less than an hour, and even if it is a city made of iron, it will collapse and collapse in less than three days. The warriors of the Peerless are willing to open a passage to the 'Golden City' for you. Someone behind him said loudly.

Duanmu Hao didn't look back, he knew that it was his peerless general Chu Yifan, who would dare to boast about Haikou except him.

"Lord Wang!" Chu Yifan, who was wearing golden armor, arched his hand and said: "The three armies are ready to go, just waiting for the prince's order." ”

Duanmu Hao looked back at his army, the south of the hillside, the mountains were full of soldiers in full armor, Chu Yifan governed the army very strictly, everyone was solemn, only the wind could be heard blowing the huge flags, mixed with the occasional neighing of horses.

Duanmu Hao turned his face to Yu Feng and said, "How is the battle situation on Tang Ming's side?"

"Ji Sangongzi just sent someone to send a secret letter, saying that something big happened to the other party, which is very weird. ”

"Oh, weird?" Duanmu Hao frowned and said to himself: "What can make Ji Laosan, who has always been the calmest, say the word 'weird'?

"Yes!" Yu Feng took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Duanmu Hao.

After a moment, Duanmu Hao put down the rice paper in his hand, and with a look of disbelief on his face, he smiled with a little doubt.

"It's weird! Yu Feng, is Xiao Xuanchen in Wen Kouer at the moment?"

Without hesitation, Yufeng replied, "No, Winkoll is just an empty city. Xiao Xuanchen took the main force to defend the city to the northwest border to fight with Tang Mingguo, the two places were separated by thousands of miles, and it was impossible to rush back in a short time, besides, Ji Sangongzi has always been famous for his steady and steady tactics, and it is absolutely impossible for the other party to retreat easily. ”

"Is this information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable!"

Duanmu Hao bowed slightly, and said indifferently: "Order the three armies, advance at full speed, and prepare to attack the city." ”

Xiao Xuanchen, I know that you have always been known for your tricks, so let me take a look, what kind of tricks will your 'weirdness' be this time?

The drums of war beat and the army marched slowly, and the smoke and dust rolled towards the lonely city, as if it were one huge wave after another, surging and rushing towards Winkol.

In the first year of the Ming Dynasty of the Xiao Dynasty, in winter, the night before the first snow fell, the lord Xiao Xuanchen led his troops to fight hard with Tang Ming in the northwest border.

Soldiers are coming to the city!

Soldiers are coming to the city!

Winkoll is coming to the city today!

In fact, under the cover of the so-called peaceful and prosperous times, Wuyang Kingdom, Tang Ming Kingdom, Wushuang Kingdom, the three countries on this continent have never really stopped strife, but the war has not extended to every corner, not to every family, people will fade to those bloody conflicts.

Today, the soldiers are coming to the city, and the panicked people finally miss the time when they thought they were ordinary, and it turned out that the ordinary peace was the best luck.

The lord's tent was already surrounded by nobles, and the soldiers guarding it had to draw their long knives to maintain order.

"We want to see the lord of the kingdom. ”

"The unequaled people have come in, please see us immediately!"

There was a loud and loud shout, and there was no leisure for a quarter of an hour. Zhuang Meiyan, who was sitting in front of the desk in the tent, frowned slightly, staring at a piece of parchment on the desk. Standing in front of the desk was Ye Lu Yan in white armor, and Zhuang Meiyan raised her head and glanced at Ye Lu Yan.

"Is this true? What the hell is going on over there? What the ghost Gus said in the letter is so ridiculous, what is the meaning of a person missing? How could a big living person disappear under his nose!" Zhuang Meiyan was puzzled.

They had just received a secret letter from Ghost Gus, in which a few words were scribbled very scribbly: The king is missing, and a quick countermeasure is planned.

It can be seen that the writer was in a hurry, and did not even have time to describe the situation at that time. Zhuang Meiyan and the others are far away, and even if they are worried and anxious at this moment, it is difficult to know the truth.

"The lord of the kingdom has always been resourceful, could this be a way for him to confuse his enemies?" said Yeluyan after a moment of contemplation.

Xiao Xuanchen is the best at putting death and then living, this war with Tang Mingguo is also a last resort, according to Wu Yang's rules, it is not appropriate to fight when the snow falls, otherwise it will anger the wolf god. At present, the north wind is raging, and the first snow may fall at any time, so if it were not for the repeated provocations of the Tang Ming people, and the Zha Manbu had a slight conflict because of the previous brotherly discord, they would have been completely unable to resist the surprise attack of the Tang Ming people, and the border was in an emergency.

Xiao Xuanchen had no choice but to take the risk of leading his troops to attack Tang Mingguo, he took away most of his troops just to fight quickly, and it was best to resolve this dispute before it snowed. But no one expected that the country of in-laws, which had been good friends with them for generations, would go south with heavy troops and surround Wenkoer, apparently trying to take Wenkol in one fell swoop.

At this time, even if Xiao Xuanchen immediately led his troops back to the rescue, I am afraid it would be too late, not to mention that Tang Mingren was eyeing him and would not easily let Xiao Xuanchen's troops go. At this time, it was already a dilemma, not to mention that Ghost Gus also sent such terrible news: the man was missing.

It seems that the situation on the battlefield in the south is even more unoptimistic, and they cannot be expected to come back to save Winkol.

So, who else can you rely on now?

Zhuang Meiyan and Ye Luyan looked at each other, each seeing each other's anxious looks.

Ye Luyan resolutely turned around and said, "I'll go to General Yan Jing to discuss countermeasures." ”

"Slow!" Zhuang Meiyan stood up, and she shouted in a low voice: "This matter can only be known by the two of us, and there must be no third person who knows." ”

Ye Luyan frowned, she looked at Zhuang Meiyan's hand and gently pointed to the outside of the tent, and she suddenly realized.

"So what are we going to do now?"

"Wait!" Zhuang Meiyan slowly calmed down.

"Wait?" Ye Luyan smiled bitterly: "Wait any longer, I'm afraid those guys outside will rush into the tent and force you to write a letter to the lord of the country, so that the lord of the country can withdraw from the southwest battlefield as soon as possible and save Wen Koer." ”

"I know. Zhuang Meiyan nodded, she thought for a moment, and said, "I know, I know all this, so we have to find a way to stabilize them and wait with us." ”

Ye Luyan lowered her head slowly, she knew the guys outside very well. They were all aristocrats, they were worried about their thousands of cattle and sheep, slaves and horses, they didn't want war, and if they could, they were even willing to negotiate with the guy called Duanmu Hao outside the city and use their wealth to buy him, of course, this can only be their wishful thinking.

They have only one wish, and that is to stop the war as soon as possible, no matter how they stop.

Zhuang Meiyan slowly walked out of the tent, and the noisy crowd finally quieted down, and many pairs of eyes stared at her. After a while, they quarreled again.

"What about the lord? ”

Zhuang Meiyan stretched out her hands majestically to calm the angry crowd. Ye Luyan frowned slightly and said: "The lord of the country is fighting on the southwest front, what's the use of you arguing here, if you have the ability, you can deal with the Wushuang people outside the city." ”

Someone shouted: "The lord of the country has already withdrawn from the southwest front, why didn't he come out to see us? Did he lose the battle in the southwest and have no face to see all of us?"

Zhuang Meiyan looked at the ghost beside him with a slight sideways face, and the ghost did not leave quickly, he pulled the person out of the crowd and slammed it to the ground. It was a man in a white robe, with a thief's eyebrows and eyes, and his face was hateful, and he looked at the ghost standing in front of him with a little panic and slowly drew his scimitar.

"You, are you going to kill people and kill people? The lord of the country covers up the truth, and he doesn't dare to come out to meet everyone. ”

"Who are you, what's your name?"

The man ignored Zhuang Meiyan's questioning, and just shouted, "What qualifications do you, the peerless woman who brought disaster, come and ask me for my noble surname. Didn't you bring in the Musou army outside the city? The Musou have already said that they are here to save you. They claim that the prince and queen they sent have been framed, and that they have come to administer justice for you. ”

The crowd became even more restless and whispered.

"How did you know that the Lord of the Kingdom had returned to Wenkoer?" Zhuang Meiyan ignored his provocation and continued to ask calmly.

"Even I just learned about the news that the lord of the country left the southwest front, where did you know about it, no matter what your surname is, because your surname is not Wu Yang's surname at all, you clumsy performance!"

The man's face changed slightly, and the ghost waved the blade without hesitation, and the man fell to the ground before he could let out a scream, blood flowing from his throat.

"Does any of you recognize this face?

No one knew him, and the rioting crowd calmed down.

"Alright, go back. In times of crisis, you should unite as one and hate the enemy to defend against foreign enemies, instead of crying meaninglessly here. The Vozra steppe is not so easy to conquer, the lord of the country has a careful plan, and Wuyang is not so easy to be defeated. ”

People will be suspicious, if the army fighting in the southwest cannot be driven back, who else will come to their rescue?

Someone in the corner muffled and asked, "How long will it take?" It's about to snow, and it's disrespectful to use knives and guns at such a time, should we take such a risk? ”

"What are you going to talk to them about? Ye Luyan had already recognized the man, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face, "Are you afraid of those southerners? There is no war when it snows, but when they come to the door, we should be caught or sit idly by! Lord Wolf God kept telling me that if someone slapped me, I would double it back, and I would fight until those guys didn't dare to beat me again." ”

"If you are afraid, then retreat back into your tents, and count your sheep and cattle and slaves, and see if there is enough for your life. The Wushuang people are insatiable, they don't want a few herds of cattle and sheep and a few slaves, they want the land under our feet, our Wozra steppe. ”

"Now, the man of Wuyang, who is not afraid of death, will go with me to the city tower to prepare for the enemy. Yeluyan pulled out her long sword and pointed diagonally into the sky.

The momentum of the main battle faction completely shocked the nobles who were making trouble, many of them slipped away quietly, and some hot-blooded youths followed the warriors and shouted excitedly waving their fists.

Zhuang Meiyan sighed, she knew that the situation had stabilized temporarily, but this was only a superficial phenomenon, and Wen Koer's situation was still in danger. Her sharp gaze fell on the man named Wan Yanxiong through the crowd, and Wan Yanxiong hung his head in embarrassment.

She bypassed the noisy crowd and came to Wan Yanxiong's side.

"I want to go and meet Yan Jing Da Sima, please guide me. ”

Wan Yanxiong was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "Yes!"

The two men quietly left the crowd, and the enthusiastic people did not notice their departure. Xiao Xuanchen is missing!

The soldier who had returned to Wenkoor from the Zha Manbu told Zhuang Meiyan what had happened. The battle ahead has always been relatively tense, because of the strength of Wuyang State, in addition to Wen Ker's main force, Xiao Xuanchen brought over the main army, as well as the coalition army collected from several other tribes, which is strong.

Tang Mingguo was not in a hurry, but they did not expect that the other party would attack Tang Ming with all the strength of the country, and they had the momentum to annihilate Tang Mingguo in one fell swoop. However, although Tang Mingguo's power was slightly inferior to that of Wuyang Kingdom, it was not easy to completely defeat a country. And Xiao Xuanchen's choice of timing seemed to be out of place, when he raised his army, he was already opposed to it, and various tribes were also very resistant to this decision, but they had to reluctantly follow Xiao Xuanchen's strength.

Under Xiao Xuanchen's all-out attack, the border of Tang Mingguo was already in danger of falling, and the main commander of the other party was Ji Sangongzi, who was also a rare general, under his command, although Tang Mingguo suffered heavy losses, he still barely held several important cities, and did not let Xiao Xuanchen's army continue to advance half a step.

Just this morning, Xiao Xuanchen had been planning for a long time for a decisive battle, and he personally led the "Ghost Bow and Wolf Knife" of Ghost Ges to fight against Ji Sangongzi on the battlefield. Before the two armies had yet to begin their official confrontation, something strange suddenly happened.

A flash of red lightning streaked across the sky, and the brightness was so amazing that everyone present closed their eyes. When the light passed, people found that their lord, Xiao Xuanchen, had disappeared.

Disappeared out of thin air!

Onigus reacted the fastest, and instead of letting the team retreat, he continued to attack the enemy as originally planned. The Tang Ming people were shocked by this magical lightning, and the attack of the Wuyang people made them rout for a while, and the ghost Ges did not dare to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so he immediately gathered his troops and retreated thirty miles, temporarily stationed, and at the same time sent an urgent letter to Wenkoor.

Zhuang Meiyan didn't feel relaxed when she figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and her heart was even heavier. Of course, she didn't know what was going on, it was already winter, how could there be lightning? Where did Xiao Xuanchen go? This was still not part of his plan?

Zhuang Meiyan could only carefully restrain all the uneasiness in her heart at this moment, make a casual gesture, and sit in the tent of the lord of the country, at this moment, the people need someone to sit here to become a kind of spiritual support.

"Now that the people of the whole city know about the disappearance of the lord of the country, it is happening so quickly that it will be difficult for us to hide from everyone even if we don't sneak in. Ye Luyan said slowly.

Zhuang Meiyan nodded.

According to the original plan, Xiao Xuanchen had already calculated that once he left Wen Koer, the Wushuang Kingdom would definitely take advantage of the situation, and the excuse was easy to find the other party - but Zhuang Meiyan didn't expect that the man would use himself as an excuse, and the attack on a city was actually to save her.

At that time, Xiao Xuanchen quietly withdrew from the southwest border, and the surprise soldiers raided the rear of Duanmu Hao's army, which could not only relieve the siege of Wen Koer, but also severely damage Duanmu Hao's forces.

This is his plan to kill two birds with one stone, the plan is perfect, but the specific operation can only be done by him, and every step cannot be wrong. What Zhuang Meiyan was able to help him with was to provide him with a ten-day turnaround time.

He wanted to raise another army of sufficient strength, which would take time, and even more so, to get back to Wincor. According to the plan, Zhuang Meiyan only needs to stabilize people's hearts, and according to Wen Koer's troop deployment at this time, it can be fully supported until ten days later.

When it came to the end, Zhuang Meiyan knew that there was always a gap between the plan and the reality, but she believed that she could survive, just like all previous crises, she could survive in the end, and she firmly believed that that guy would definitely come back to save her. Although he was smooth-tempered, he never lied to her on the issue of life and death, he said that he would come back in ten days to save her, so he would definitely be. In this regard, Zhuang Meiyan firmly believes.

"It's only ten days, and we can hold on. Zhuang Meiyan muttered.

"I hope so!" Yeluyan was worried, she suddenly remembered something, and said: "Queen, how did you discuss with Da Sima?" The 'Tiger Camp' only obeyed his orders, and if it weren't for the 20,000 troops of the 'Tiger Camp' to defend the city, we wouldn't be able to hold out for even a day. ”

A look of worry flashed in Zhuang Mei's eyes.

"I have already spoken to the Great Sima, he is willing to protect his homeland, but the strength of the enemy is very different, if we do not get news of the lord of the country within ten days, he suggests that we withdraw from Wenkoor, leaving only an empty city for the enemy, and then we will join the army in the southwest. ”

"The Peerless will certainly not be able to stand the bitter cold of the northern winter, and their supplies will not be able to keep up, and when they are exhausted next spring, we will be able to retake Winkol in one fell swoop. ”

Yeluyan burst out laughing.

"Wan Yanjing was also a hero on our grassland, but after all, he is old, so he would have such a plan. He was afraid that defending the city would consume his strength, and he didn't want to sacrifice his soldiers for the lord of the country. ”

Zhuang Meiyan didn't know the trick here, but when she dealt with some things, she was far from the appeal and courage of that man, if Xiao Xuanchen was still in Wen Kouer at this time, I am afraid that Wan Yanjing would not dare to make such a suggestion.

"Anyway, if you can hold it for ten days, he will definitely come back. Zhuang Meiyan comforted Ye Luyan.

Yeluyan raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Queen, I have to say something unpleasant, everything is perfect, if the lord of the kingdom cannot come back on the tenth day, what shall we do then?"

Zhuang Meiyan was stunned.

"And what do you say you should do?"

Yeluyan pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and said, "We should send a letter of request for help to the other four tribes, so that they can send troops to reinforce them. As long as there are soldiers and horses, I, Yeluyan, will definitely be able to guard our prairie, and will never let the iron hooves of the unequaled people step into Wenkoer half a step. ”

"However, the lord said that he would bring back an army. ”

"The current situation is obvious, the Ghost Ges and their army can't leave the southwest border, the Tang Ming people will never let them go, no matter what the cost, they will definitely risk mixing the Ghost Ges and their footsteps there, and not let them reinforce Wenkoor. If the lord wants another army, he can only collect it from various tribes. ”

Yeluyan sighed slowly and said, "Queen, we don't know what is going on on the southwest border now, we must leave a way to retreat. ”

Zhuang Meiyan paced back and forth in the tent, and finally shook his head and said, "No! we have no way out, he is our only way out." Have you thought about it, without the order of the lord of the country, neither you nor I have the right to give orders to the other tribes, even if we write a letter asking for help and send an envoy to discuss, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to send troops - Wan Yanjing's idea is their idea. ”

Ye Luyan was silent for a moment, and slowly replied, "May Lord Wolf God bless Wuyang Yongchang!"

Will the wolf god hear the prayers of his people?

As the night deepened, Zhuang Meiyan lay on the warm couch, looking at the round dome, and there were two oil lamps for vigil in the tent, and the wolf god painted on the white dome could be vaguely seen by the faint light of the lamp.

"Lord Wolf God dwells in the white kingdom of heaven, every corner is white, there is no sun, no moon and stars, only a dazzling white, where it is always warm as spring, there is no cold, no hunger, no death, and no pain, there is the kingdom of eternal life. Only those who sacrificed their lives for Wu Yang, only those who are innocent and sincere in their hearts, have the opportunity to enter that sacred realm. ”

"The wolf god sometimes comes by lightning, he always appears with the light, and every time he comes is to save his people. ”

Outside the tent, Suna was telling the slave girls the legend of the wolf god, and the people of Wuyang believed in the existence of the wolf god very much.

"Aunt Suna, do you think it was Lord Wolf God who took the elder brother of the country away, did he go to the eternal heaven?" This immature voice belongs to that innocent and lovely little girl, since the death of the Queen Mother, Su Mya was taken over by Zhuang Meiyan to take care of her.

The child's heart is just a child after all, although Su Miya did something sorry for Zhuang Meiyan because of the instigation of the Queen Mother, but Zhuang Meiyan felt authentic, and the child regretted it at that time. After all, this is a dispute between adults, and it has nothing to do with a child, and Su Mya does not know the cause of the Queen Mother's death, she only knows that the strict aunt can no longer control her - the death of the Queen Mother makes her a little sad, but not particularly sad, and the aunt has not given her too much warmth.

Sumya's tent is now moved next to Zhuang Meiyan's tent, and Sumya sometimes runs outside Zhuang Meiyan's tent to listen to Suna's story, and Suna has many, many legends about the wolf god.

The question she asked stumped Suna, who soon burst into laughter.

"Little princess, how can we know about the decision of Lord Wolf God? The lord of the country is the darling of Lord Wolf God, and Lord Wolf God must take special care of him. ”

"Then, the elder brother of the lord of the kingdom will definitely bring the army of the wolf god in the kingdom of heaven to save us!" "Sumya clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I know that the elder brother of the lord of the kingdom will not leave us alone." ”

"Yes, little princess, you should hurry back to the tent with your slave girl, for it is terrible to freeze here. Suna persuaded in a loving tone.

When Zhuang Meiyan heard this, her heart moved.

The wolf god, the kingdom of heaven, the army.

An interesting thought began to take shape in her mind, and she propped herself up and shouted to Suna outside the tent, "Suna, come in." ”

Suna quickly entered the tent, Zhuang Meiyan beckoned to her with a pleasant face, and the two whispered for a long time.

"Will this work?" said Suna.

"Foolproof! Just do as I tell you, and whoever the lord brings with him will come back to save us." Zhuang Meiyan said firmly.

Xiao Xuanchen opened his eyes. White, white everywhere. He sat up in astonishment, and when he saw the dazzling white around him, his heart finally sank to the bottom.

He's back! he's finally back! he's back where he really belongs at a moment when he deserves to be back.

He had never been in a plane for so long, almost six years had been spent there, and he had forgotten many things, such as his own identity.

According to the rules of the time programmer, the time spent in a fixed time and space should not exceed two epochs in that time and space, of course, this time is for the fixed time and space, and his time is only a very short period of time compared to his real space.

"You're finally back!"

The woman who suddenly appeared in front of him did not surprise him.

"You got me back?" he asked.

"You've broken the rules!"

He calmly replied, "I have already reported to you that I made a mistake in probing the energy possibilities of this plane, and I missed the meeting point of return, and can only wait for the next meeting point of time to arrive. ”

"You know I'm not talking about that. Did you tamper with some data in your last report to make us think that the plane's energy value was low, so we abandoned the mission?"

Xiao Xuanchen was silent.

The woman sighed and continued, "We re-evaluated the time segment you accidentally discovered, and the energy value is perfect, and you know very well that our world needs its energy. ”

"Because if we need to maintain this world, we must destroy another world?" Xiao Xuanchen suddenly asked: "Do you know? This decision you made will make all the life in that world cease to exist, the world there may not be the same as our world, the technology there may be very backward, and the civilization there may never evolve to the point where we are—because they don't know the secrets of time and space, so they should no longer exist?"

The woman's expression became very indifferent, she looked at the man in front of her with some sympathy, and said calmly: "You already see yourself as a member of that world, you are sick, your space-time dislocation is very sick, I think you need a psychiatrist for treatment." ”

Xiao Xuanchen took a deep breath and said coldly: "Please send me back immediately, I must return to that point in time and space to continue my last mission-this is very important." ”

"Do you want to transfer that woman? you know it's against the rules, and we've decided to destroy this segment right away, and if you take that woman out, it will disrupt the continuity of the plane, and the amount of energy we absorb will be greatly reduced, and I won't allow you to do that. ”

A vigilant look flashed in the woman's eyes, and she said slowly: "Compared to our real time and space, other time and space are illusory existences, and it may be a mistake to create them......

"How can you conclude that they are illusory beings! They are real, they are flesh and blood, they have more emotions than we are, they are real beings just like us. Xiao Xuanchen interrupted her.

"This argument makes no sense, it makes no sense at all. You can't change anything. The woman looked at him with some sympathy, "I'm just curious about how that woman controlled your mind and made you almost forget your hometown." ”

The white in front of him suddenly disappeared, revealing some images. In the dark night, in the quiet tent, Zhuang Meiyan was half-curled up on the bed, her eyes were closed, her face was obviously a little tired, and she looked very tired. Obviously she was asleep, but the woman's brows were still furrowed, and even in her sleep, she was still a little restless, and her hands were tightly gripping the quilt, as if she was afraid of something.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai...... Don't leave me behind, don't leave me alone. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanchen's heart was like a knife, he immediately grabbed the woman's hand and said sharply, "Send me back immediately." ”

The woman looked at him curiously, his expression fierce and unusual, inevitably a little hideous.

She said slowly, "Do you really insist on going back? You have to understand that I will not stop the mission because of you, this plane will be completely ended on the eleventh day after you leave there, the program has already started, and if you go back now, it means that you only have a few days left in your life." ”

Xiao Xuanchen pleaded, "Can you let us go?"

"We?!" the woman seemed to think it was ridiculous, she laughed and said, "You're really sick, you've come to think of yourself as someone from another plane." Terminating the program now costs us twenty percent of our energy, while destroying this segment can increase our energy by thirty percent, and you have to give me a reasonable reason for such a loss. ”

Xiao Xuanchen pursed his lips, he sighed, lowered his head and said, "You better send me back." It's the ninth day of my departure, so please deliver me by the tenth day anyway. ”

"You don't want to save that world?" the woman asked curiously.

"I can't save the world, I can at least go and save a woman. Xiao Xuanchen calmed down instead, and his gentle gaze fell on the woman on the picture.

"What if you can't save that woman?"

"Then when the world is destroyed, at least I can stay closest to her. ”

The woman smiled.

"Well, I think it's interesting, and it doesn't affect our program. I'll send you there, before that world is destroyed, I set you a return route, you remember that you only have one chance, and you can only come back by yourself. ”

She touched the white place with her fingers, revealing a black hole of nothingness, exactly the same as the black hole that Xiao Xuanchen had created on the stone wall of Sola Mountain. Xiao Xuanchen walked in without hesitation, the woman looked at Xiao Xuanchen with a smile, the black hole was slowly merging, and finally disappeared.

The woman turned her face and continued to look at Zhuang Meiyan in the picture, her smile was a little evil.

"Well, I forgot to tell him, my calculations for space-time teleportation are sometimes not that accurate. ”

In the middle of the night, Zhuang Meiyan Huo Ran opened her eyes, she had just woken up from a nightmare, she was drenched in cold sweat, she stroked her chest with difficulty, and then down was her high bulging abdomen.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai. She muttered in a low voice, "Where are you? Tomorrow is the tenth day, will you come back?"

She raised her head and looked at the wolf god totem in the top vault, and immediately knelt on the couch, folded her hands, and prayed silently.

The ten-day covenant is already the last day today, and after tomorrow morning, will a rescue army quietly attack the enemy's rear, or even annihilate them in one fell swoop?

On the tall city tower, Yeluyan, who was wearing heavy armor, overlooked the land in the distance, and there were dense tents in the distance, and there were dotted fires, making the whole prairie seem to be starry and bright. It was the military base of the Musou Nation, and the soldiers were warming themselves by the fire, and there was less than an hour left before dawn.

Yeluyan hadn't had a good night's sleep for nine days and nine nights, she was patrolling the city tower unrelentingly, she didn't know what forces were supporting her, she Yeluyan was not an opportunist, would she believe in an ethereal group of reinforcements.

But, as the woman said, that was the last retreat.

She did not fully follow the Queen's orders, and she quietly sent her men and horses to cross the blockade line and go to several other tribes to ask for help. Going to the Thorn Piercing Hal Division, the people of the Tata Department rushed back to the city one after another, and they came back empty-handed, and when they stood in front of Yeluyan with their heads down, Yeluyan had to believe Zhuang Meiyan's words - they were not the lords of the country, and they did not have the strength to drive those tribes.

Now only the scouts who went to the Yahra tribe have not returned, the Yahra tribe is in the far north, the farthest distance, and the Yahra tribe has always been at odds with the Qiluo tribe, only superficial submission, so Yeluyan has little hope for that tribe.

Well, there really is only one way out, and that is a miracle.

The scout's report showed that there was no sign, no sign of the lord of the country on the prairie, no movement of troops, that is, unless a miracle arose, where did the man conjure up a powerful army to save the city?

Could it really be like the legend of the people in the streets and alleys: the lord of the kingdom was received to heaven by the wolf god, he is the reincarnation of the blood wolf king, and he will return with the mysterious power and mysterious army given to him by the wolf god to save his people and rebuild Wingor.

Thinking of this, Ye Luyan smiled bitterly, she knew the origin of these legends very well, but she still had to admit that this woman's trick could indeed stabilize the hearts of the people, but a lie is just a lie after all, and a legend can only be a legend forever, do they have to rely on this legend to save the city?

Yeluyan slowly walked down the steps of the city tower, it looked calm tonight, for nine days in a row, the other party only surrounded the city wall, and did not officially attack them, which made Yeluyan feel very confused.

What are they waiting for?

When Yeluyan turned around, she suddenly heard the exclamation of a soldier.

"There, General, someone has attacked the enemy camp!"

Yeluyan looked shocked, and hurried back to the city tower, where she stood by the wall and raised her eyes. Truly, the enemy was in turmoil, and in more than one place, the huge dragon seemed to be stabbed at it with a spear, and it twisted its body to and fro to dodge. The fire grew louder and louder, and the camp in the place was very clear, and the attackers set their tents on fire, and from the towers they seemed to hear the noise coming from the opposite side.

More and more soldiers gathered around the walls, their expressions excited, and even a small cheer.

"Lord!

Yeluyan glanced at the white sky on the eastern horizon, and on the tenth day, did a miracle finally appear? Dawn was approaching, and the tents in the Wushuang camp were still brightly lit. Duanmu Hao stood in front of the unfolded battle map, silently looking at it. Yufeng was by his side, and he didn't dare to interrupt the regent's thoughts at will, so he could only choose to be silent.

The tenth day, the hour of dawn, was the tenth day of their siege of Wincor.

The climate in the north is so cold that many soldiers are not even willing to sleep in their tents, but choose to stay by the fire to keep warm, and the number of non-combat casualties has skyrocketed.

Many soldiers have begun to miss their hometowns, and there are many rumors in private.

The Wind didn't understand why they had besieged the city, but they still wouldn't start fighting. If this kind of wear and tear continues, the impact on morale is very strong, and the climate in the north is really not something that they can adapt to, and I heard from the military doctor that many soldiers have frostbite and other diseases. This war should not have dragged on for too long, the bad weather is no longer a favorable time for war, and what if it drags on any longer, what if reinforcements come?

These worries will not be said by Yu Feng, he respects the beautiful man in front of him like a god, he believes in Duanmu Hao with all his heart, he believes that Duanmu Hao must have his reason for such a plan, and there is no need to explain this truth to them.

Yufeng has always been the best executor, and Duanmu Hao is most satisfied with him.

Duanmu Hao looked at the city in the sand table, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you think it is strange to you, Resistant, why did I suddenly change my mind and turn the order to attack into a siege? ”

Yu Feng silently lowered his head and said: "Childe's decision naturally has the reason of Childe, and his subordinates are stupid. ”

The smile on the corner of Duanmu Hao's mouth was even stronger.

"Yufeng, have you thought about it, even if we capture Wenkoor, the nearest Qiyang Town from our Peerless Country here is thousands of miles, how should we defend it after we capture it?"

Yufeng thought for a moment and shook his head.

The distance is so far away, the supply of the army alone is an unsolvable problem, and there is no danger at all in the huge grassland, and the turtle is cowering in the city, so in the spring of the next year, the army of the Wuyang people can wait for the siege according to the gourd painting.

"If you want to tame Wu Yang, the evil wolf on the grassland, attacking will not completely solve the problem. ”

"What does that Childe mean--"

"We can tame him like a janitor. Duanmu Hao smiled slightly, but did not continue to explain.

Yu Feng was ignorant when he heard it, and looked at Duanmu Hao blankly.

"The first step is to give the people inside a taste of despair. Duanmu Hao ignored Yu Feng's dazedness and said to himself.

"Despair, isn't the current situation enough to make those Wuyang people feel desperate?" Yu Feng was puzzled.

"Despair is about extinguishing the hope in people's hearts little by little, and when people still have hope in their hearts, even if there is only a little hope, then they are not despairing. ”

Duanmu Hao looked at Yufeng gently, and said softly: "Death is not terrible, despair is terrible, death is just the ordeal of **, and despair is the submission of the soul." ”

Despair, these two words were pondered over and over again in Yu Feng's heart, and he seemed to have realized something, but he couldn't say it. There was some commotion outside the tent, and Yu Feng frowned, and immediately became vigilant.

The curtain of the tent shook, and someone broke in, a crack soldier, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Lord Wang! Someone is attacking the camp! The general ordered his subordinates to come and protect the safety of the prince, please don't leave the tent!"

"Oh!" Duanmu Hao was not panicked, and asked calmly, "How many people are coming from the other party?"

The young soldier looked a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "It's too dark, and I don't know the situation of the other party's men and horses for a while." They...... Some are not people. ”

Duanmu Hao's face was surprised.

Yu Feng said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you are not a human being, you can still be a ghost? You dare to talk nonsense in front of the prince!"

The soldier swallowed his saliva and knelt down and said, "My subordinates don't dare to speak, the captain of the Imperial Wind Guard, listen, these howls outside are the guys they brought over." ”

They held their breath and stared, and there were faint howls of wild beasts outside, and Yu Feng's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he grabbed the sword at his waist, pulled it out, and he said sharply: "This is a wolf pack, and the wolves are the most ferocious in winter." Lord, I'll go out and have a look. ”

Duanmu Hao bowed slightly, and the latter immediately strode out of the tent.

Winkol was tightly wrapped in great enthusiasm, and the people stood hopefully on the towers and watched the chaos outside the city, and it was obvious that their reinforcements had arrived. Smoke and dust rose all around, and the Mushuang were also dazed by the sudden attack, and soon they blew their horns and gathered their armies to fight with the comers.

In the midst of the chaos, a small team passed through the encirclement of the unequaled army and galloped towards the city. Someone with sharp eyes had already seen a three-legged golden crow fluttering on the banner carried by that team, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Yahra Ministry, that's the banner of Yahra, our reinforcements are coming!"

Yeluyan also saw the fluttering banner clearly, the Yahra tribe was the only tribe in the steppe that did not worship the wolf god, they only worshipped the sun god, they believed that the sun lived in the three-legged golden crow, that is, the sun god. When she saw the small group, instead of showing relief, her brow furrowed even tighter, and her face was solemn.

Wan Yanxiong, who was standing beside her, also showed excitement, and said eagerly: "Shall we go out of the city to fight?" I went to tell my uncle that the reinforcements are coming, so it is better for us to go out of the city and have a big battle. ”

"No!" Yeluyan said categorically: "Open the city gate and welcome the men and horses of the Yahra tribe in, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law." ”

Wan Yanxiong's face was angry, his position was not as high as Ye Luyan's, and now his uncle was not in the city tower, according to the military rank, Ye Lu Yan was the supreme commander, and he could only take orders when he held his stomach.

Good news always spreads quickly, and Winkoll is quickly woken up by this unexpected good news, and everyone's face shows a light of hope.

Reinforcements finally arrived, and Winkol was saved.

People couldn't wait to gather outside the royal court, anxiously holding their heads high, waiting for news. Although the people knew that the affairs discussed in the royal court were very confidential and could not be revealed to them, they were still reluctant to leave, because it was their only hope.

Zhuang Meiyan was sitting in the position of the lord of the country at this time, it was a huge stone, Wan Yan Jing, Ye Luyan, and several leaders of the big family sat around her, and in the middle of the open space stood a young general, he was wearing a somewhat unusual costume, a bright red, as red as fire, as bright as blood.

Zhuang Meiyan silently looked at the slightly shy young general, she recognized the child. Yes, it was a child who came to the rescue, but at the age of thirteen or fourteen, his complexion was slightly pale, and his slender body looked extremely thin behind the huge armor. The blood-red lips were slightly pursed together, and his expression was stubborn, the child was inevitably a little nervous in the face of so many people, a pair of bright eyes were as clear and clear as a lake, and he blinked a few times, he looked at Zhuang Meiyan, and suddenly looked away, and a trace of shyness flashed on his face.

This is the boy under the big tree, he happened to be bumped into by Zhuang Meiyan when he had a wheezing attack, and saved his life, and only now Zhuang Meiyan knows his identity - the only son of the head of the Yahra tribe, his name is Jacob.

Because Yahra believes in the fiery sun god, he believes that red will bring luck, which is not the same as the Wuyang people.

"Are you saying you came on your own?" asked Yeluyan.

Jacob nodded, and shook his head again, the kid didn't like to talk much, and Zhuang Meiyan knew his personality better. Others were baffled by his contradictory actions.

"Shaking his head and nodding his head, did you come here by yourself?, what about your Yahra army?" said Yeluyan with a frown.

"There is no army. It's just me and my buddies. Father...... His father said that he would not let the warriors of Jahrah leave Jahra without the orders of the lord. Jacob's voice grew lower.

The people present could not believe their ears and looked at each other. Ye Luyan sighed as if she had expected it, and she glanced at Yan Jing, who was expressionless and didn't seem surprised.

"So, who attacked the Wushuang camp just now? I'm afraid you can't do it with the dozens of you. Yeluyan continued to ask.

Jacob smiled shyly.

"On the way, we met our friends on the grassland, a group of hungry wolves, and we managed to lure them into the camp of the Mushuang - the stupid Mushuang actually roasted horse meat on the prairie to eat, and the aroma made the wolves go crazy, so we took advantage of the chaos to break in. ”

I see! The last doubts in people's minds have been solved, and at the same time, the last bit of hope has been dashed. That is, without reinforcements, there are no reinforcements at all, and they have no way to retreat.

"Queen, today is the tenth day, what about the reinforcements you promised?" Wan Yanjing finally spoke, his voice low.

The aristocrats who exchanged their ears were suppressed by the majesty of the old general, and immediately stopped whispering, and jointly set their eyes on Zhuang Meiyan. Zhuang Meiyan immediately felt an invisible pressure, she exhaled slowly, calmly raised her head, and looked at them one by one.

He will never abandon his country, not only his country, but also his home, neither of which he will abandon. Zhuang Meiyan said firmly.

"Then where is the lord of the country now?" Wan Yan Jing hit the nail on the head.

Zhuang Meiyan could only be silent.

Ye Luyan played a round and said, "Why don't we ask Lord Wolf God and let him decide." ”

Jeruyan motioned for the high priest to start praying.

After some rituals, the tired High Priest slowly opened his eyes and said gently, "Lord Wolf God said that the Lord of the Kingdom has gone where he should go. ”

"Then ask the Wolf God, will we win this battle?"

The High Priest closed his eyes again, and then opened them again, shaking his head to indicate that he had not received a revelation from the gods. This caused a small shock among the people, did Lord Wolf God abandon them? He would stand with them in every war, and he would stand together to fight no matter whether he won or lost, and Wu Yangren firmly believed that as long as Lord Wolf God stood with them, victory would definitely belong to them.

"Should we evacuate Wenkol temporarily?" Wan Yanjing suddenly asked.

The High Priest closed his eyes again, this time with a pained expression on his face, as if he had seen something terrible, and everyone could see the fear in their hearts in his distorted face.

"It's black, it's dark, there's light, there's blood...... Lots and lots of blood, that's ......"

High Priest Huo Ran opened his eyes, sweat oozing from his forehead, and he looked at Zhuang Meiyan with horror on his face. Seeing this, people were even more suspicious that the hints of the gods had something to do with this peerless woman, and people remembered the situation when she first appeared in the royal court. "She will bring a war", the will of the gods is indeed correct, she really shouldn't have been left behind in the first place!

"What did the gods show you?" Wan Yan Jing asked.

The High Priest still shook his head.

"Darkness, only endless darkness. ”

"That's enough!" After Yan Jing took the case, he said sharply: "Does this still need to be explained? Lord Wolf God is clearly saying that if you continue to stay, you will only fall into the boundless dark hell, in order to preserve hope for the future of our Wuyang Kingdom, we must leave Wenkoor, as long as our warriors are still there, we can still take the city back next spring." Peerless people have come all the way to defend this city. ”

"How do we go?" Zhuang Meiyan retorted: "For the sake of 100,000 troops outside, once we go out, without the protection of the city wall, we can only be beaten passively. With such a small number of troops, how can we protect the retreat of those unarmed civilians?"

Wan Yanjing looked at her in disbelief, and finally laughed contemptuously, and several other nobles followed suit. Zhuang Meiyan felt a great insult, she endured it silently, no one in the audience even cast a sympathetic look at her, Ye Luyan chose to hang her head silently, no one knew what she was thinking.

"When did I say I was going to leave with the commoners? Let the commoners and slaves fend for themselves! Queen, if you agree to evacuate Winkol, then I have a way to keep you safe. One thing you must understand is that you are not the lord of the country, you are only the queen, and you have no way to replace him in exercising power when the lord is not there. ”

After Yan Jing finished speaking, he didn't consider Zhuang Meiyan's feelings at all, but looked at those nobles, and said in a deep voice: "The lord of the country is not here, the situation is critical, we can only take the risk of using this method to leave a glimmer of life for our Wuyang." Whoever agrees with me to finish Yan Jing, please raise your right hand. ”

The nobles raised their right hands one after another, Zhuang Meiyan looked at these people in despair, and finally, Ye Luyan, who was sitting silently next to Yan Jing, also looked at Zhuang Meiyan and raised her hand hesitantly. Zhuang Meiyan slowly closed her eyes, she knew that this time she was really powerless.

When she opened her eyes again, the nobles dispersed one after another, and only Yeluyan was left standing opposite her.

"We all know that if there are no reinforcements, General Wanyan is doing the right thing. In this way, we can preserve the strength of Wu Yang. ”

"But what about the civilians, the elderly, and the children?" Zhuang Meiyan muttered, "Let them fend for themselves! This is too cruel! Leaving them behind is a dead end!"

Yeluyan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "This is also a last resort. ”

"Isn't there any other way?" Zhuang Meiyan muttered distractedly.

A soldier broke into the palace in a panic, and he shouted with red eyes: "The city is being attacked!

Ye Luyan and Zhuang Meiyan got up at the same time, and the two of them glanced at each other.

"Strange, why did Duanmu Hao choose to attack the city at this time? He seems to be very sure that we will definitely not have reinforcements coming, how can he know everything about our situation?" Ye Luyan said seemingly unintentionally, and then hurriedly left the main hall and hurried to the city tower.

Only Zhuang Meiyan herself was left in the main hall.

In fact, Zhuang Meiyan thought that she was the only one left, so when she heard a very light cough, she couldn't help but be stunned and turned her head to look. In the open space in front of the stage, which she ignored, there was the young man in red, his face flushed, and he coughed vigorously against his chest.

"Are you alright, where's your medicine?" Zhuang Meiyan asked with concern.

"I, I'm fine! Ahem!" the boy waved his hand, coughed twice hard, and barely suppressed, "Queen, I am willing to accompany you to protect Wenkoer, if you don't leave, I won't leave." ”

The child's eyes were bright, his eyes were sincere and sincere, and Zhuang Meiyan smiled movingly.

"Why are you here? It's too dangerous here for you to come. Your father is right, he can't send troops without the orders of the lord. Zhuang Meiyan said gently.

The child's face turned even redder, he hung his head, and after a long time he said, "I'm sorry that day...... I really didn't know if you would be bad for your health if you ate snake dragon fruit. I want to explain it to you, but, but...... My father sent someone to bring me back to the tribe that afternoon - I had sneaked out and I had heard that Winkol was fun, so I ......."

Jacob stammered and stammered explanations, and at last even he was so confused by his own incoherence that he didn't know how to explain it.

He ran out secretly, he didn't mean to hurt her, and he wasn't afraid of responsibility so he didn't say goodbye......

The surroundings suddenly became very silent, and Jacob slowly raised his head, only then did he realize that the woman in front of him had quietly left at some point, and it was only him, who was standing stupidly in the depths of the main hall.

"I really, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry!" Jacob muttered as he looked up at the image of the wolf god in the dome. Zhuang Meiyan returned to her tent, and the only people serving by her side were Snow Kite and Chunju. She felt very tired, and the busyness of the past few days had exceeded her physical load. Snow Kite helped her take off her coat and gently kneaded her shoulders, making her feel a burst of relaxation and comfort.

"Queen, there is something I don't know if I should say or not?" said Snow Kite in a whisper in her ear.

Zhuang Meiyan was squinting and napping, smiled slightly, and said, "Say it." ”

Snow Kite looked left and right with some caution, and when she was sure that there were only three of them in the tent, she boldly said: "The slave knows that you have been tired these days, and the slave and maid have pain in their eyes, but do they know how grateful these Wuyang people?

Zhuang Meiyan slowly opened her eyes and said thoughtfully: "What do you want to say? There are only three of us here, but it doesn't hurt you to say it." ”

Snow Kite suddenly knelt down, this posture startled Chunju, and looked at her blankly, but Zhuang Meiyan was not surprised, and looked at the girl with a smile.

Snow Kite plucked up her courage and kowtowed, "Queen, this sentence should not be said by the slave maid, but the slave and maid know that they have to say it." At this point, she must leave a way out for herself in everything, and the queen cannot not plan for herself at all. Say something you shouldn't say, even if it's not for yourself, think about the child in your belly. In case, if the lord of the country cannot come back, what will you do in the future, queen? Is there still a place for us to stand in this steppe, this Wenkoor?"

She said so much in one breath, the apprehension in her heart had been completely put aside, and Snow Kite looked up at Zhuang Meiyan, who was silent, as if acquiescing to her point of view, and she continued.

"Queen, after all, we are not from this country, no matter how hard we try, we will not be able to get the greatest recognition after all-they will never see us as the real Wuyang people, in their eyes, we are unequaled. Now that the two countries are at war, for the time being they will not embarrass the Queen, because they are not sure whether the lord of the kingdom will be able to come back, if the lord of the kingdom cannot come back for a long time, the so-called kingdom cannot be left without an owner for a day, and then I am afraid that you and your children will be in danger of the queen. ”

Chunju was a little anxious when she heard this, and interjected: "What nonsense are you talking about? Snow Kite! The child in our queen's womb is the crown prince, no matter what, it is the next lord of the country, and they won't deny this." ”

Snow Kite smiled silently, a bitter smile.

"This is the most important point that the slave maid wants to say, it should be so, but we have no roots and no basis in Wuyang Country, who will help you?

Zhuang Meiyan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Who can help me?"

"The slaves are naturally willing to help you, Queen, but the strength of the slaves and maids is not enough to compete with those nobles. Now there is only one person who can help you, but I wonder if you would like to have his help?"

"Oh, who is it?" Zhuang Meiyan raised his eyebrows.

The snow kite took a deep breath and said, "Has the queen really forgotten her hometown?

Zhuang Meiyan's eyes lit up and said, "You mean to say that you want me to cooperate with him?"

"Yes, the queen is wise!"

"Hehe!" Zhuang Meiyan laughed, "But what leverage do I have to negotiate with him now? As you said, I, the queen, is already in name only, and once the lord of the country really can't come back......"

Zhuang Meiyan sighed deeply, this incident touched her heart, making her almost unable to restrain herself.

"Queen, the child in your womb is your biggest bargaining chip. Don't forget, he is the irreplaceable crown prince and the most qualified person in the country to be king. "The snow kite is confident.

Zhuang Meiyan thought for a while and asked Chunju, "What do you say?"

Chunju was stunned, she had been shocked by these messages, and she was at a loss. was asked by Zhuang Meiyan by name, and it took her a long time to react, and she stammered: "Slave maid, slave maid listens to the queen in everything, where you say you want to go, slave and maid will go, slave and maid will always follow you." ”

Zhuang Meiyan slowly lowered her head and sighed in a low voice: "Snow Kite, what you said is also the truth, but I am now in the city, and many things are involuntarily, how can I meet him?"

Listening to Zhuang Meiyan's tone, it seemed that she had already approved Snow Kite's opinion, Snow Kite was worried that she would blame herself, but when she saw this situation, she was immediately relieved and said with a smile: "The slave maid thinks that the prince is a generous person, he will not forget the queen and you, although it is not easy to see each other again, but it is not a matter of no way, the queen must not be in a hurry." ”

Snow Kite comforted her. It was Suna who hurriedly walked into the tent, and they ended the conversation.

Suna looked at the backs of Snow Kite and Chunju with some confusion, and asked Zhuang Meiyan in a low voice, "Queen, the nobles outside are packing up their things, and they are already messed up." The fight on the castle tower was very strong, but for the time being, it seems that the Wushuang will not be able to fight for a while and a half. What should we do? Da Sima sent someone over and asked, "Tomorrow, will you go with you, Queen?"

Zhuang Meiyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Suna, do you think I should leave here too?"

Suna was also very sad in her heart, she didn't know how to answer the queen.

"Suna, will you leave Winkol then?"

Suna replied, "My father is sick, he is too sick to endure the long journey, and the old man does not want to leave his homeland, so I stay and take care of him, and ask the queen for permission." ”

"What about your three children?"

"They?" Suna hesitated, "they'll come with everyone, my eldest son is grown up and can take care of his younger siblings." ”

"Home?" Zhuang Meiyan muttered, and suddenly laughed, her smile was desolate, and she said softly: "Suna, you said that if one day the Wushuang people hit Wen Kuoer, they will see me as a Wushuang, or a Wuyang person?"

This question also made Suna unable to answer, Suna hung her head sadly, she knew the queen's feelings very well, but there was nothing she could do, what was the point of comforting in vain, it was better to be silent with each other.

"I'm not leaving, Suna, I'll stay with you. You can go and tell the nobles right now that I can't stop them from leaving, but this is my home with him, and he's gone, and if I go any more, then this home will be gone. ”

"I'm going to keep this home for him. ”

Zhuang Meiyan showed a resolute look on her face, Suna knew her temperament, once she decided, it would never be possible to change it, Suna calmly stroked her chest with her right hand, and bowed deeply to the young queen.

"Wu Yang will always remember you, Queen!"

After Suna left, Zhuang Meiyan looked at the wide tent with a silent face, and the image of the wolf god painted on the top dome looked at her silently.

Lord Wolf God, I came all the way to Wuyang, not for such an ending!

I don't know how long it took, Zhuang Meiyan was suddenly awakened by some noise outside, and she seemed to have fallen asleep. She hadn't been able to rest well in the past few days, and now at such a critical juncture, when the siege battle outside was in full swing, she actually slept a little.

She slept so restlessly that she couldn't even remember what she had dreamed about.

The noise of the crowd outside almost made her think that the city gate had been breached, and the enemy had entered, and Zhuang Mei's face was pale, and she sat on the couch dignifiedly, trying to retain the last bit of grace. However, the person who rushed in was Chunju, her face was indignant, and when she entered the door, she said to Zhuang Meiyan: "Queen, Xue Kite she--"

Zhuang Meiyan frowned and said, "What's wrong with the snow kite?"

Chunju was so anxious and angry that she didn't know how to talk about it.

Yeluyan, who was wearing armor, stepped into the tent, the white armor was stained with blood, Yeluyan's face was pale, and she said coldly: "Queen, the snow kite is a spy. ”

To everyone's surprise, Zhuang Meiyan was not surprised, let alone justified the snow kite, but just raised her head and looked at the wolf god totem in the top dome, looking a little sad.

"Oh, I see. ”

She used a domesticated kite to send a letter outside the city, and was discovered, the evidence was conclusive, and in order to stabilize people's hearts, Yeluyan had to take the initiative to cut her first and then play. Ye Luyan said calmly, she did not come to apologize, but only to state a fact.

Today's Wenkoer is stormy, strong enemies have invaded, and the people's mood is extremely unstable, and the slightest mistake can cause an internal strife, so the measures taken by Yeluyan are not exaggerated.

Zhuang Meiyan still looked at the dome in a daze, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, Ye Luyan quietly retreated.

Chunju was angry and sad again, she sighed and approached Zhuang Meiyan's side, and called out, "Queen." ”

"Chunju, can't we escape this catastrophe?" Zhuang Meiyan held her head high, and the corners of her eyes vaguely ooze, "Snow Kite is his person after all, I'm afraid he asked Snow Kite and the others to follow me to Wenkoer, just for this day." Now that I think about it, there are many strange things. Let's just say that the last time I went to invite Brother Jiang to come over to see me, it was also Xue Kite's idea, but it was a coincidence that Brother Jiang did not stay in the capital, but came to Qiyang Town for no reason - presumably he also arrived in Qiyang Town at that time, such a battle was not a day's work, he must have made plans early. ”

Zhuang Meiyan sighed and did not continue.

"Queen. Don't think about it so much. Chunju comforted.

"According to the slave maid, the words of the snow kite may not be unreasonable. Ai Ai said: "At least one thing, Childe, he will never hurt you." But those Wuyang people have bad intentions, you stay in the city, the unequaled people enter the city, and there will be no mistakes with him to protect you; now that the lord of the country is not here, if you follow those Wuyang people alone and leave Wenkoer, God knows what those lawless guys will do -- isn't the snow kite thing the best warning?"

"After all, the snow kite is the person you brought here, and if you say kill it, you will kill it, so you can't take it too seriously. ”

Chunju cautiously glanced at Zhuang Meiyan, and saw that her face was calm, but she was only slightly tired, and she did not show any displeasure, so she continued.

"The slave knows that the queen is infatuated with the lord of the kingdom, but at this time, the most important thing for you is to protect the flesh and blood in your womb. ”

This sentence woke up Zhuang Meiyan, she subconsciously hugged her stomach, and the little guy seemed to sense her mother's uneasiness, and kicked lightly inside.

"Then you say, what should I do now?" Zhuang Meiyan gritted her teeth and turned her face to look at Chunju, her gaze firm.

"Inuwen said, if the queen can talk to the regent, maybe the regent can help you find a way. ”

"Now he can't get in, and I can't get out, so how can we talk?" Zhuang Meiyan smiled bitterly, she suddenly thought of something, and then shook her head and said: "There is a place where he can come in from outside the city, and others don't know that it is the safest place - just how can I contact him?"

Chunju thought for a while and said, "The slave knows that the snow kite secretly raised two black kites, and if they kill one, the other must have returned to the nest, and the slave knows where the snow kite raises birds." ”

Zhuang Meiyan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter to him, you have to be careful, don't let them find out." ”

"The slave knows. ”

It's already dark, but it's darker here. There is no day, no night, and there is no natural light to be seen here except for the dim and faint glow of the millennial lamps lit on the walls.

This is the most secret place of Wenkoer, and it is also the forbidden place of Wuyang, this is the deepest part of the underground palace of the royal court, where the great king of hundreds of years ago, the open man of this country, the blood wolf king, sleeps.

It is believed that if the city is placed above the tomb of this king, then the soul of this king will live with his people forever, bless the people of Wuyang for generations, and bless Wuyang Yongchang.

The place where Zhuang Meiyan was at this time was a wide corridor, the front was dark, and the back was also dark. You can walk down this passage to the outside of the city, and this is Wuyang's biggest secret, except for the lord of the country, there is no second person who knows, but now many people know this secret.

Before setting out for the southwest, Xiao Xuanchen told Zhuang Meiyan this secret, hoping to use this passage to help her escape the catastrophe when it was most dangerous.

However--

He must not have expected that she would use this passage to negotiate with the enemy.

Zhuang Meiyan gently stroked the obviously bulging abdomen, good boy, don't be afraid, no matter when, my mother will be with you.

Chunju looked a little uneasy, the passage was too wide, and the light of the lamp was faint enough to illuminate too far away, so although she was waiting, there was still only a dim spot ahead.

There were faint voices in the hallway, dull and powerful, the walls rattling and the lamps trembling slightly.

"Here they are!" Chunju couldn't hide the surprise in her voice.

Zhuang Meiyan was silent.

Chunju hurriedly stepped forward, just walked a few steps and seemed to remember something, hurriedly turned around and came to Zhuang Meiyan's side, took Zhuang Meiyan's hand and said excitedly: "Queen, we are saved." ”

The girl's eyes were shining with tears, the corners of her mouth were upturned, and she looked happy.

Zhuang Meiyan was not as excited as Chunju, she was calm and smiled tiredly. At this moment, the sound suddenly stopped, and there was no human figure in the passage ahead.

Chunju was a little confused, Zhuang Meiyan lost her voice and said, "Yo! I actually forgot, there is still the last door wall that has not been opened, and they can't enter." ”

Chunju said anxiously: "Where is the mechanism?

"There's an unlit wolf's head lamp on the wall over there, do you see it?" Zhuang Meiyan pointed.

Chunju hurriedly ran over, Zhuang Meiyan looked at her back, and asked in a low voice, "Chunju, you seem to be in a hurry to let him in." ”

Chunju was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The slave is also happy for you!Miss, you and Gongzi should have been a pair of wall people made in heaven, you shouldn't have come to Wuyang, Wushuang Country is your home." ”

Zhuang Meiyan sighed imperceptibly and said, "Chunju, in fact, you followed me to Wuyang, and you weren't happy in your heart, did you?"

"What's wrong with you? Jing said some strange things, what regret is not regret, Chunju is a slave, she should serve Miss, and Miss will follow wherever she goes. Chunju has no regrets!"

Chunju no longer called her "queen", but called her "miss" as before, hearing this long-lost title, Zhuang Meiyan's heart suddenly moved, and she already had a sense of strangeness in a trance. She seemed to be stunned with sadness and joy, and heard Chunju asking her something in her ears.

"Miss, the slave found the wolf's head lamp you said, what should I do now?" Chunju urged.

Zhuang Meiyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Push hard against the wall, and the mechanism will activate itself." ”

Chunju pressed her hand against the lamp and pushed it against the wall, only to hear a creaking noise, presumably the mechanism inside the wall was slowly activating.

"Chunju, this is what you said yourself, you don't regret it!" Zhuang Meiyan's voice suddenly became cold.

Chunju looked back at her, her face confused.

"If I'm not mistaken, Snow Kite isn't really a spy, and she's not the devil to get our news out. It's all you, isn't it? The person who has been secretly communicating with Duanmu Hao is you, and Snow Kite is just a poor scapegoat. ”

"Miss, why do you think that?" Chunju was taken aback, "Snow Kite is a person from the palace, and the slave maid has been with you for many years, and she never dared to deceive you?"

"I couldn't believe it, but at this point, I can't believe it. Snow Kite She is a person from the palace, but she is not Duanmu Hao's person, she is Ji Mingyue's person, and you, Chunju, you are the child's person. ”

The last sentence was loud, especially the word "Childe" was like two heavy stones pressed towards Chunju, who turned pale and breathed rapidly in an instant.

"He said before that he didn't let me call him prince, but only his son, and then I realized that only the people he trusted the most could call him son. Zhuang Meiyan said slowly: "It's just that I don't know when you started calling him 'Gongzi'." ”

Chunju's body trembled slightly, but she said a word.

"Chunju, the friendship between you and my master and servant for many years can't compare to a man, hello, hello--" Zhuang Meiyan's voice was regretful and hateful, and he said "hello" twice in a row, and he couldn't say it anymore.

Chunju's body slid down the wall to the ground, piled up, and sobbed slightly.

"Miss, the slave didn't do anything to be sorry for you! Childe said that he would definitely take you back to Feng'an City, he ......"

"He's coming to pick me up!" Zhuang Meiyan laughed angrily and said, "What you think in your heart is that he can pick you up when he comes." ”

Chunju lowered her head, full of remorse, she said bitterly: "Yes! The slave knows that this is all the slave's thoughts, what kind of character the son is, the slave and the maid are not even worthy of carrying shoes for him." The slave and maid did not dare to expect the son to show mercy to the slave and maid...... The slave just wants to see him, just watch from afar. ”

Chunju's voice became lower and lower, Zhuang Meiyan's heart was in a trance, and the anger in her heart also dissipated, and pity suddenly appeared.

"That's it!" Zhuang Meiyan sighed, "At this point, it doesn't make sense to say that, he can't come over - the mechanism you touched just now is not a simple mechanism to open the door wall - it is a trap mechanism, once the last door wall is activated, ten thousand arrows will be fired together, and the people in the corridor over there will not survive." ”

Chunju's eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Zhuang Meiyan in disbelief, as if she didn't know her.

"How can you do this!How can you do this! I killed Childe!" Chunju screamed miserably, waving her arms wildly and tugging at her hair as if she were crazy.

Zhuang Meiyan was a little nervous, took a few steps back, and stood against the wall.

"Chunju, Chunju, where are you going?

Zhuang Meiyan saw Chunju suddenly running towards the depths of the corridor like crazy, and immediately shouted: "Don't go over, Chunju, the mechanism there has not completely stopped, it's dangerous!"

But Chunju rushed to the other end of the corridor without looking back, running farther and farther, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

"Chunju, Chunju, come back quickly!"

Zhuang Meiyan shouted anxiously, but to no avail, she panicked.

Suddenly, she felt a faint cramping pain in her abdomen, which was bearable at first, but then became more and more painful, so painful that she bent down and squatted on the ground with her stomach in her arms, and even breathing became difficult.

She couldn't help but moan, holding her stomach with one hand and the wall with the other.

Good boy, don't torture your mother at this time......! It hurts! It hurts, why does it hurt so much? Could it be -- kid, now is the time when you can really come out!

Zhuang Meiyan was frightened to find that the pain in her abdomen was getting more and more intense, one after another, like a wave, and it was getting stronger and stronger. She had a bad feeling and struggled to hold on to the wall and walked backwards, she was going back to the ground...... Gotta go back.

It hurts......

Zhuang Meiyan's forehead was oozing with sweat, her steps were difficult, the scene in front of her began to shake, and every step she took was extremely painful, and finally she staggered against the wall, holding her stomach with her hands, and moaned loudly.

At this moment, she saw a man in white walking slowly, followed by a black-pressed soldier, and the man was not dead. She should have expected that a mere trap would not kill him, and that he was definitely not such a simple goal for negotiation, as could be seen from the countless soldiers behind him—he wanted to enter the city by passage, which was the real purpose of this man.

Duanmu Hao was holding Chunju's body in his arms, and Chunju had several arrows stuck in his body, seeing that he couldn't live anymore.

"Chunju!" she called weakly, "Chunju, silly girl, childe...... It's not that easy to die. ”

Duanmu Hao gently put Chunju on the ground, moving gently, as if he was afraid of hurting her, and at the same time stretched out his palm and slowly closed her eyelids.

"Are you going to kill me?" he asked in a low voice, "Unfortunately, it was not me who came in before, but a group of war horses. ”

This man will never be angry, even if he is plotted by her, he is indifferent and has no intention of reproach.

"Charm, from beginning to end, I never wanted to hurt you, you must believe me in this. Duanmu Hao said sincerely: "If you want, our negotiations can continue, I can keep the Wuyang Kingdom for you, and I can also put your child on the throne of the lord of the country, so that he can be admired by all the people, and you are the noble queen mother." ”

"That's what it is...... Your conditions?" Zhuang Meiyan smiled reluctantly, she forcibly suppressed her pain and insisted on speaking.

"Duanmu...... Regent, you ...... With an unparalleled army of 100,000, come to ...... Attacking our Wuyang Kingdom is, that is, that is...... In order to help me put the child in the position of the lord of the country?" she laughed, "Do you want to let me defend the Wuyang Kingdom for you, so that the Wuyang Kingdom will become a vassal state of the Wushuang Kingdom for generations, what you like is the wealth given to Wuyang by the Lord Wolf God, countless gold, silver, iron ore, and countless cattle, sheep and horses...... And strong slaves. ”

"That's what you really want. Zhuang Meiyan smiled sarcastically.

Duanmu Haosoft said: "Let's take what we need." What are you protecting this child for at all costs? He was born to be the head of the country, destined to be king, and I can help you mother and son. ”

"It's too late. Zhuang Meiyan shook his head and said, "It's too late." ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Duanmu's eyes, and the wall suddenly shook violently, and small stones and mud debris continued to fall down.

"Do you think there is only one mechanism? You are wrong, the Ten Thousand Arrows Rush is only the first mechanism, and once this mechanism is activated, it is impossible to stop, as long as you enter a secret passage, you will not be able to get out alive, and I am the same. Zhuang Meiyan sneered.

Duanmu Hao's eyes showed a hint of panic, he didn't turn around, and continued to walk forward without hesitation. After walking a few steps, he turned around and ran back and hugged Zhuang Meiyan. Zhuang Meiyan didn't expect that he would actually save himself at this moment, and pushed and shoved again and again: "Let go of me!

"Don't move!" Duanmu Hao scolded.

He walked in a hurry, the hallway shaking more and more, and cracks began to appear in the top of his head and in the walls.

"It's too late. Zhuang Meiyan leaned weakly on his chest and said in a low voice: "It's too late, as soon as the mechanism is activated, we will return immediately, maybe we can leave before the stone wall closes, now that the stone walls at the two entrances and exits are closed again, we can't get out." ”

If it weren't for the child who had affected her, Zhuang Meiyan would have been able to leave the secret passage before the mechanism was completely activated, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven.

"Boom!"

A series of muffled noises erupted underground, and the entire Wingor could feel a huge tremor.

Ye Luyan and Wan Yan Jing on the city wall glanced at each other, and the latter nodded slightly. They all understood that the plan they had set with the queen had succeeded, and the queen did not hesitate to use herself as bait to lure the leader of the enemy into the bait, and now that the underground palace had collapsed, the people inside would surely die, and the 20,000 troops of the ghost ges had also escaped the entanglement of the Tang Ming people and rushed back to the periphery of Wenkol in time, and now the time for counterattack had come.

Yeluyan took out a bamboo tube and held it high.

A bright light erupted from the walls of Winkol, piercing the night sky with a sharp whistling sound, and brilliant fireworks lit up the sky. At this time, people realized that patches of white had drifted in the sky, and the first snow of winter had finally arrived. Xiao Xuanchen stood beside a ruin, the royal court had collapsed, this was a chain reaction brought about by the activation of the underground palace organs, the peerless Duanmu regent had been locked up in the underground palace forever, and his 100,000 army was defeated under the internal and external attacks of the Wuyang army, and the siege of Wenkoer was completely lifted.

However, buried deep in the underground palace with Duanmu Hao, there is another person, no, it should be two people.

Xiao Xuanchen silently stared at the stone in front of him, he mechanically stretched out his fingers to move the stone, he had been moving for a long time, his ten fingers were ground to blood, and he continued to do repetitive movements as if he didn't know the pain at all, moving the stone, throwing it aside, and then moving the next piece.

The entire royal court is a full dozen meters above the ground, even if it is a ruin, it is several meters high, and the underground palace is more than ten meters underground, if you want to dig up the underground palace, it will be a huge project, unimaginably huge.

Xiao Xuanchen had only one word in his head.

Dig!

He lost the ability to think, he didn't have the ability to discern the facts, he just wanted his little lady, and he rushed back desperately for her, but why was it a day late?

Why is it a day late?

"Lord of the Kingdom. Ghost Gus looked at him worriedly, the man had been moving stones for an hour, knowing that it would not help, and he had no regard for the truth.

It was the evening of the tenth day when Ghost Gus returned with his army of 20,000 men, and he lurked on the outskirts of the Mushuang according to the queen's plan, waiting for the signal. When the signal fireworks were lit, he suddenly found that the lord of the kingdom was back among them, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, he was not mistaken, the lord of the kingdom was the same as when he disappeared, and suddenly appeared in front of them, so that the ghost Gus was even more convinced that the lord of the kingdom was the reincarnation of the "blood wolf king" with miracles.

The Wushuang army lost its commander, and the formation was inevitably a little chaotic, and Wuyang had the leadership of Xiao Xuanchen, and the morale was greatly boosted, and the two sides had a scuffle, and Wu Yang had the absolute upper hand. After all, Chu Yifan of the Peerless Kingdom is a generation of generals, although he is at a disadvantage, he can still gather most of the soldiers and horses, fight and retreat, and finally withdraw from the entire battlefield.

In this battle, Wu Yang won a big victory.

Xiao Xuanchen didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, he quickly drove his horse back to Wenkoor's city, he just wanted to find his lady as quickly as possible, he had been delayed for too long. However, he was greeted by a ruin, he was above the ruins, and she was under the ruins.

Xiao Xuanchen stood there blankly at first, his eyes scanning the ruins blankly, he thought that he could stay with her and spend the last time, even if this world was destined to disappear forever, disappearing from beginning to end, even the traces of existence would disappear together, then at least at the last moment, he could still snuggle up to her, hug each other, and warm each other.

However, he lost even such an opportunity.

Xiao Xuanchen frantically moved the stones.

No, no!

This time, I didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you...... But I'm still late, am I?

Ghost Gus originally wanted to persuade Xiao Xuanchen, but when he saw the other party's desperate expression, his heart suddenly felt a little sour, he threw away the sword at his waist, took off his armor, jumped to the middle of the ruins, and began to move the stones. Jacob, dressed in red, also joined, Suna, Yeluyan......

Many, many people joined in, and the ruins were crowded, and everyone was digging hard.

A man stood in front of the picture and looked at it carefully, his fingers touching back and forth on the picture, sometimes zooming in and sometimes zooming out, and finally he fixed the picture on Xiao Xuanchen, he carefully identified Xiao Xuanchen's face, and then looked back at the woman sitting in front of the stands.

"Hehe!" the man laughed, "the difference between the tenth and eleventh days is huge, you don't tell me you just made a mistake." ”

The woman said indifferently: "Everyone has mistakes! Didn't he send me the wrong data that he had deliberately corrected? The damage he caused to our world is immeasurable, and such a punishment is already very light." ”

"Let me see, huh, the woman isn't dead yet!" said the man in surprise.

He zoomed in closer, only to see a dying woman huddled in a small gap under the dungeon, and a man beside her.

Zhuang Meiyan felt that his strength had been exhausted, and even the strength to breathe was about to be exhausted. When the palace collapsed, she fainted, and when she woke up, she found herself in the dark, and before she could react, the intense pain began to tear at her body, and the pain in her abdomen became even worse, almost tearing her body in half, but this pain was like an invisible rope, pulling the split body in half again, tormenting back and forth, making her feel painful.

"Charm!" a deep voice called out to her softly, "Hard, the baby is about to be born." ”

This voice made her sober slightly, and she finally remembered that in order to lead Duanmu Hao into the tunnel, she deliberately pretended to fall into his trap and voluntarily negotiated with him, and when he entered the tunnel, she triggered the mechanism. She was supposed to leave the tunnels immediately, but the pain in her abdomen from premature birth stopped her steps.

The man was still encouraging her, Zhuang Meiyan had mixed feelings in her heart, she never thought that she would give birth in such a place, and it was he who delivered the baby for herself. She struggled to open her eyes, and by the faint light of the fire she could dimly see the man's concerned gaze.

"You, don't you hate me?" she asked weakly.

"Then do you hate me?" Duanmu Hao smiled: "Whether we hate each other or not, that's after we go out." You'll have to make it out alive to find out. ”

"Why are you, why?" Zhuang Meiyan said with a crying voice.

This man is always hateful, even if she already knows that he has used her, but his use also makes people so willing, she suddenly understands Chunju's betrayal, if she is Chunju...... If there is no Xiao Xuanchen......

It's a pity that there is never an if in this world.

Every choice in life is a seemingly accidental necessity and a fate.

"...... hard"

"Come again, ...... hard"

"It's just a little bit there...... The charm is ...... harder"

She has no strength anymore, only maternal instinct to support her willpower, tenaciously trying again and again, struggling, the little one in her belly is really stubborn, resisting again and again and refusing to come out.

Zhuang Meiyan held her breath and used up the last bit of strength in her life, and finally, her hoarse cry and the child's cry converged, vibrating back and forth in the depths of the underground ruins, but this place was too far from the ground to convey it after all. The people on the ground were still busy carrying stones, unaware that a new life had been born in the deep earth beneath their feet.

In the white world, the man frowned and looked at the picture, and he sighed, "Do you have to do this?"

"I can help you solve the problem of energy......"

"I just don't understand, it's just an uncivilized barbaric world, is it worth betraying our world for the sake of a woman in such a world?" the woman said indignantly.

"Everyone has a good time for themselves, and it's something to be cherished forever. The man said sincerely.

The woman remained unmoved, continuing to stare at the picture.

A black void suddenly appeared above the ruins, and a warrior in white armor landed slowly, and the people around him trembled and worshipped, only Xiao Xuanchen ignored and continued to carry the stones.

The soldier patted Xiao Xuanchen on the shoulder and said a few words. At his feet, a huge hole was gradually revealed, reaching vertically into the ground, and the faint cry of a child was heard, and the crowd could not help but burst into a wild cry.

"Lord Wolf God bless Wu Yang! Wu Yang Yongchang!"

The warrior suddenly raised his head and stared at the sky, the woman frowned slightly, she knew that the guy understood the angle of her surveillance, only to see the guy wink at herself, and then said: "I have done what I should do, and the rest is yours." ”

The woman hesitated, and she watched as the countdown had begun to flicker on the screen.

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......

Xiao Xuanchen climbed down the sloping stone cave until he reached the woman's side, her eyes were closed weakly, and her soft body felt a little cold. The ground beneath her was stained red with blood, and a man lay next to her, already unconscious. Xiao Xuanchen pulled away Duanmu Hao's fingers with some difficulty, and took the child wrapped in half of his clothes from his hand, Xiao Xuanchen opened his arms and hugged the child and the little woman in his arms, and hugged him hard, hard.

I'm coming!

Now we're all together! You said that someone has a home, and for me, there is a home with you.

...... Five, four, three, two, one.

The finger that controls the life and death of a world rests on a command key.

The system repeats mechanically: "Do you confirm the revocation of the destruction order? Warning! The revocation order loses more than 20 percent of the energy, the warning ......."

The finger lifted slightly, but eventually fell.

The screen blinked, closed, opened, and finally fell into darkness.

Five months later, spring returned, and the grass on the Vozra steppes had begun to grow wildly, green and full of life.

A woman in a white robe slowly pushed a wooden wheelchair, and the man in the wheelchair was dressed in white Sheng Xue, with an indifferent expression on his beautiful face.

Although Duanmu Hao picked up a life from the underground palace, his legs were pressed by the boulder, and finally his legs were not protected, and he never wanted to stand up again with his own strength in this life.

"Just send it here!" Duanmu Hao said slowly: "If you send it down, you will be in our peerless territory, and the next time we meet, we may be friends or foes, if you regret sending me back, it's too late to change your mind." ”

Xiao Xuanchen laughed out loud and said, "That's right, I should think about it, maybe I should imprison you, the Peerless Regent, in Wenkoor forever, and take the opportunity to extort some tribute from your Peerless Kingdom or something." ”

Duanmu Hao smiled and said: "The best tribute is our peerless beauty, you can send you as much as you want, saving you the emptiness of your harem." ”

"What are you talking about the emptiness of the harem?" Zhuang Meiyan took the crying little guy from the snow kite's hand, and then asked, "What kind of tribute beauty? What are you discussing?"

"Ahem!" Xiao Xuanchen coughed twice, gestured to the distant land and said, "This beauty...... In fact, Brother Duanmu and I were discussing the major events of our son's life, and Brother Duanmu said that they have a lot of beautiful women in the unparalleled country, and they can choose from him. In fact, I thought that one of the most beautiful women in the Musou Country had been deceived by me, and no matter how hard my son tried, he was not as lucky as me, because the Musou Country could no longer find a more beautiful woman than a lady. ”

"Nonsense!" Zhuang Meiyan was ashamed and embarrassed, and her face was flushed.

Xiao Xuanchen looked at her embarrassed posture, and felt pity in his heart, so he took her into his arms. At this time, Duanmu Hao had already let Yufeng push him away slowly, and Xue Kite Suna and the others also avoided it from a distance, and only the two of them were left in the depths of the Nuoda grassland.

There was silence all around, Xiao Xuanchen and Zhuang Meiyan lay side by side in the soft pasture, the grass here was as soft as the thatch in Qiyang Mountain back then, the wind was still long and delicate, the clear sky was like a washed blue, and the clouds were the sheep grazed by the wolf god, moving slowly and leisurely.

An image of a woman suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Xuanchen, staring at them with her arms folded.

"This is the last time I've come to see you, and I know you don't miss me. I don't think I need to ask for your opinion either...... After ten seconds, the plane will be permanently closed, and you will never be able to come back, and no one will be able to jump out and disturb your life in the future, never. You owe me a huge favor, and I've lost more than 20 percent of my energy...... That's all there is to it......"

The image is blurry, flickering, and eventually disappearing.

"Thank you!" Xiao Xuanchen let out a long sigh of relief.

The woman who buried her face in the crook of his arm muffled, "What are you talking about, thank you?"

Xiao Xuanchen hugged her tighter and laughed in a low voice: "I mean, thank you for meeting me at the best time, neither early nor late, everything is just right!"

Zhuang Meiyan snuggled up to him and smiled proudly.
