Chapter Eighty-Nine: King Teng's Mansion

When Ye Qiu told Xia Ling about the way to rescue Zhuang Qingran, Xia Ling was so happy that she almost gave Ye Qiu a big hug, she was so reluctant that she was about to leave for Xisha Country immediately, but it was too late, Xia Ling made an appointment with Ye Qiu, went back and prepared for a little rest, and set off from Yunwuling to Xisha Country together before dawn.

Ye Qiu returned to his residence, just felt that after squinting his eyes for a while, the sky was bright, when Ye Qiu saw Xia Ling, Xia Ling's mood was still as excited as yesterday, and the two took advantage of the night to quietly leave Yunwuling.

As the name suggests, because this country has been rich in sand and gravel since ancient times, and because it is located in the west, it has passed down the name of this Xisha country through the generations, the geographical location of Xisha country is very remote, it is not famous in many countries in the world, the economic production is backward, the military strength is not strong, compared to the comprehensive strength of the Tang country, the climate is very cold for more than half of the year, the rainfall here is scarce, a large part of the land is desert, there are many saline-alkali land, desolate and no grass, the number of population is the number of a state that resists the small point of the Tang country, but the strange thing is that the last ten yearsHowever, the territory of Xisha continued to expand, it annexed many small countries around it, and it even slowly threatened the borders of the Tang State.

After a few hours of flying, Ye Qiu and Xia Ling had come to the boundary of Xisha Country at this time, and not long after crossing the boundary river between Tang Country and Xisha Country, they could see many soldiers walking scattered on the ground in the distance, that was the soldiers of Tang Kingdom, and after flying for a while, the soldiers gathered on the ground gradually increased, and you could also see many camping tents, as well as cooking smoke rising up, it seemed that those soldiers were cooking.

Ye Qiu said to Xia Ling: "Senior sister, you see that our Tang Kingdom has used so many troops this time, and the number seems to be quite a lot. ”

Xia Ling said: "When I was communicating with my master Qianli, I heard him say that this war has been going on for many months, but I didn't expect that Tang sent so many soldiers, and it was really a little incredible that he hadn't defeated the small country of Xisha, and I didn't know what kind of ability this Xisha country had, it was so difficult to deal with, even the master came in person, but he was ambushed by Xisha country, I really can't figure it out." ”

Ye Qiu saw that the soldiers on the ground in front of him were dense and marching at this time, and the formation of the team was also very regular and orderly, and when he flew closer, he could hear the sound of fighting and shouting from the city wall, the ground was on fire everywhere, and bursts of smoke were violently rising into the sky, and the siege vehicles of the Tang Kingdom were constantly throwing fireballs towards the city wall, and some soldiers had put the long siege ladder under the city wall, and the brave Tang soldiers were climbing, and the soldiers of the Xisha Kingdom on the city wall were fighting to the death, and the soldiers of the Xisha Kingdom fell from the city wall because the city wall was broken, or they were shot with bows and arrows, The archers of the Tang Kingdom listened to the order, and neatly shot the arrows densely towards various directions on the city wall, like a rain of arrows, all of which made people frightened just by looking at it.

The soldiers of the Tang Kingdom were constantly gathering under the city wall from the border, and the huge wood of the siege vehicle was constantly hitting the city gate under the vigorous push of the soldiers, and the city gate was shaking, and it was already crumbling and about to collapse.

Xia Ling hurriedly said to Ye Qiu at this time: "Wait a minute, let's not fly over, you see the city in the distance, it is the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom attacking the city, if I am not wrong, it is the capital of the Xisha Kingdom, we still have to find the master first." ”

After Xia Ling finished speaking, he muttered silently in his mouth, along the way, Ye Qiu already knew that this was Xia Ling who had been talking to Zhuang Qingran with the spell of thousands of miles of sound transmission.

Xia Ling took Ye Qiu to bypass the place where the city was being attacked, found a secluded corner of the uninhabited city wall, and Ye Qiu flew into the city, at this time the city of Xisha was in chaos, some rich and powerful people were hurriedly moving valuable things to the carriage, because they were too panicked, many precious porcelain accidentally broke to the ground, from time to time you can still hear noisy noises, women's cries, tearing and fighting, people on the street come and go, like ants when it is about to rain on a cloudy day, panic, hurry, but there is no way to toss, and now there is a battle outside the capital of Xisha countryAt this time, the gates of the capital have all been closed, and now it is impossible to get out of the city no matter what.

Ye Qiu and Xia Ling came to the capital, and when they walked to the street, they were still cautious, afraid that they would not be recognized by the people of Xisha Country, but at this time, the two found that these concerns were superfluous, and no one would pay attention to them at all. Moreover, Ye Qiu and Xia Ling were wearing the disciple clothes of Yunwuling, not the clothes of Tang Guo. Walking on the streets of the capital, you can also see a strange phenomenon, there are not many ordinary people on the street, except for some officials and soldiers in a hurry in Xisha country, along the way, you can also see a lot of people dressed very differently and distinctively. Their dress is obviously very different from the costumes of the people here in Xisha Country, and those people in Xisha Country bow their heads when they see these people in the rivers and lakes, and those rich and wealthy people who are running on the road and pull the goods will also take the initiative to give way to them first, showing great respect for them, or rather, as if they are a little afraid of them.

However, at this time, Ye Qiu and Xia Ling didn't have time to figure out what was going on in the capital of the Xisha Kingdom, Xia Ling had been nervously communicating with Zhuang Qingran in thousands of miles, Xia Ling took Ye Qiu to walk on the unfamiliar street according to Zhuang Qingran's instructions, they had already gone around a few streets, walking, the pedestrians on the street were obviously getting fewer and fewer, and after walking for a while, slowly no pedestrians could be seen, but the road was getting wider and wider, the walls on both sides of the road were planted with red flowers under the walls, covering the entire wall, and the fragrance of flowers rippled in the air, after Ye Qiujian walked on this road, I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and I'm a little worried in my heart, he keeps looking behind him, but he doesn't see the shadow of a person, Ye Qiu said to Xia Ling: "Senior sister, I think there seems to be some problems here, will you make a mistake in the road, it's too quiet here now." ”

Xia Ling heard Ye Qiu say this, and he was also a little worried in his heart, he looked around cautiously, and saw that there was indeed no movement, so he said: "Senior brother, I shouldn't be mistaken, you remember, if something unexpected happens, you can't fight them, then you just run, you know?"

Ye Qiu whispered and said eloquently: "Senior sister, how can you let me run? ”

Xia Ling said: "I don't mean that, I just said that if you can't beat them, don't fight hard, running is the best policy, as the saying goes, thirty-six strategies, go is the best policy, you know? Senior sister knows that your spells are strong, I just give you a reminder, you are still careful." ”

Ye Qiu listened to Xia Ling's words, and then felt comfortable in his heart, and said: "Senior sister, don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid, you forgot, I still have the Qingguang Sword." ”

Xia Ling said: "I'm a little worried in my heart, you forgot, even my master was ambushed and locked up, with our spells, I really have to be careful." ”

Ye Qiu said: "That's too, if you are out of the house, you have to be careful, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

The two are talking and walking, the front can already see the gate painted with bright red wall paint, the original two sides of the wall are around a courtyard, at this time this gate is the courtyard gate, the courtyard door is closed, there are two stone lions in front of the door with copper bells and big eyes squatting on both sides, the plaque above the courtyard door is engraved with three dragon flying phoenix dance eye-catching big characters, Qingwang Mansion.
