Chapter 82

On the tall city wall, Congsi and Chen Jingkai sat in the small attic and drank tea quietly.

"I haven't reacted yet, and your Dongyan Tower will help me regain the throne." Chen Jingkai put down the teacup and looked at Congsi.

Hearing this, Congsi silently blew a sip of hot tea: "Presumably Xun Di has already told you about the century-old grievances between Dongyan Lou and the Xiao family." ”

"If Dongyan Lou wants to exterminate the Xiao clan completely, it will be too difficult, but with you, it will be different."

Hearing this, Chen Jingkai frowned: "How can you say this?" ”

From the silk said slowly: "It is very legitimate to exterminate the Xiao clan of the previous dynasty in your name, if the armies from all over the country respond to your call, there will be more people at that time, and naturally there will be a greater chance of victory." ”

"It's better for you to have more helpers than many enemies."

Chen Jingkai was still a little unconvinced: "The first owner and the current owner of Dongyan Building are both from the Xiao family of the previous dynasty, so is it difficult that they don't have any idea about the throne?" ”

Hearing this, Congsi smiled lightly: "Do you think it's better to be free than to be bound?" ”

Then, she continued: "You grew up in the palace and inherited the throne. It seems that the first half of your life was all about the throne. ”

"But we are different, we are enthusiastic about the rivers and lakes, like to be happy and revenge, like to be willful and uninhibited."

At this point, Xun Di also thinks the same way. If you regain the throne in the future and want to correct Xun Di's identity, he must be unwilling. ”

After listening, Chen Jingkai was silent for a long time.

In the end, he smiled very bitterly: "Master Jingxiao, you are still the envy of those who break into the rivers and lakes!" ”

She is so right, since he was a child, he has lived in deceit, always wary of others, and even his father and mother dare not believe it easily.

In the first half of his life, he really put all his thoughts on the throne, and he didn't even know anything else except being the emperor.

……

Outside the city walls, the 20,000-strong army finally approached.

They are violent, like black clouds rolling over.

At the door, Zhao Shiming reported: "Back to the emperor, the enemy army has arrived." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jingkai reacted: "Let's go, Master Jingxiao, let's go out and have a look." ”

Congsi nodded and took the last sip of tea.

Standing on the city wall and looking out, the opponent's momentum is indeed good, the battle flag is flying, and the golden armor is shining.

Zhao Shiming had already prepared soldiers and weapons all over the city wall, huge stones, bundles of straw, kerosene, bows and arrows...... Everything.

But Congsi ordered that he should not act rashly.

She's waiting for an opportunity.

Soon, the enemy sent envoys and rode to the city.

I only heard the envoy shouting: "Our general said, as long as you surrender, I will not hurt you in the slightest!" If you resist brutely, we will kill you all!" Then slaughter the city! ”

As soon as the words fell, it caused the anger of many soldiers in the city, and I saw a monstrous anger gushing out.

Zhao Shiming was so angry that his beard exploded: "Your Majesty! The last general will ask for an order to kill this thief! ”

Chen Jingkai was more mature than before, he waved his hand and continued to look in the direction of the enemy army.

"It's just an innocuous remark, why are you so angry? Let's watch first, and then think about it later. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shiming was helpless, he glanced at Congsi, and got the other party's affirmative look, so he silently put away his voice.

I saw Congsi take the bow and arrow of the archer beside her, and she squinted slightly, looking at the envoy from the city.

"Whew!"

Sharp arrows knocked the rider to the ground.

"Good!" Zhao Shiming praised loudly.

On the tower of the city, all the soldiers were amazed.

Seeing that the morale was instantly boosted, Chen Jingkai was also extremely happy.

"Master Jingxiao is good at archery!" He applauded.

Congsi smiled indifferently: "Just practice more." ”

……

When the commander of the enemy army saw that the messenger he had sent out had been shot and killed under the castle tower, he was furious, and immediately sent his vanguard beside him.

"Li Qin! If you go, you will kill them severely! ”

The pioneer Li Qin received the order, and the war horse under his feet galloped out.

On the side of the city tower, as the city gate opened, a man in black also galloped out on horseback.

This person is Xun Di.

I saw Xun Di holding a spear in his hand, and suddenly he confronted a pair of plate axes swung by Li Qin.

Between the intersecting weapons, sparkling sparks flew.

The two have different moves, Li Qin's moves are fierce and domineering, as if he wants to see blood before he stops, while Xun Di is different, every time he makes a move, he easily grasps the opponent's flaws, and then uses the strength of four or two to make the other party unable to fight back.

After about thirty or forty rounds, he saw that Li Qin couldn't resist, and he dropped one of the plate axes in his hand.

He took the last plate axe to resist the spear stabbed by Xun Di, and soon, with insufficient strength, his speed slowed down a lot.

Seeing Xun Di use the last trick of the green dragon out of the water, Li Qin didn't react, so he was stabbed under the horse.

The enemy lost a vanguard, and the commander opened his mouth to scold, eager to cut off Xun Di's head with a sword.

Xun Di easily solves an enemy, and at this time the warm-up is not yet complete.

He yawned lazily, and then pointed at the gun, and his voice spread far away with the internal force: "I heard that your coach Zhang Shengyuan's martial arts are very powerful, and he is deeply used by Xiao Shangyi, since this is the case, why don't you come up and fight with me, and come to a high and low level!?" ”

In a word, he easily angered the opposing coach.

On the city tower, Congsi is funny, she, the senior brother, is fun everywhere.

Chen Jingkai has never seen his younger brother look like this.

Owe, cheap, but more likeable.

On the open battlefield, coach Zhang Shengyuan rode a horse to attack, and changed the halberd in his hand, which was fierce.

I saw that he held the war horse tightly under his feet, and the halberd in his hand stabbed out obliquely.

What a trick to smash the Yellow Dragon!

But Xun Di was not easy to mess with after all, he immediately leaned back, and the spear forcibly picked the opponent's halberd away.

Then, Xun Di stepped a little under his feet, volleyed into the air, and used the golden goose to cross the air, and then attacked the opponent unexpectedly.

The battle of guns and halberds has officially entered the main theme.

On the castle tower, everyone watched the battle between the two sides with wide eyes, for fear of missing the slightest detail.

Zhao Shiming clapped his hands and shouted: "Such a strange body technique, and that move!" I've never seen it, but it's so powerful! ”

"Master Jingxiao, tell me quickly, what kind of move is this!?" Someone's eyes are full of anticipation.

Turning around from silk, he smiled and said, "You really want to know!?" ”

Zhao Shiming did not hesitate: "That's nature!" ”

Congsi nodded and said: "That's the dog-beating stick method, a unique exercise of the beggar gang, if you want to learn it, you can read it carefully a few times." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shiming's face had a strange expression: "This ......"

From the silk is understood: "The world's martial arts are true to the truth, and they are the same family, there is no big difference, some are just skilled and mastered." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shiming suddenly realized, a little ashamed.

He was embarrassed to speak: "In the past, I always wanted to learn the most powerful moves, but now that I am middle-aged, I don't know what really powerful martial arts mean, so I'm really ashamed...... Thank you for your advice! ”

Congsi smiled: "It's okay, it's not too late to understand now, you can look at it, if you don't understand, just ask Xun Di later." ”

Zhao Shiming nodded vigorously: "Okay!" ”

Chen Jingkai stood aside, silently listening to the conversation between the two, as if his heart suddenly opened up.

Simplicity and truthfulness, not only about martial arts, but also about life?

Looking at Zhang Shengyuan, who was beaten by Xun Di on the field and was in pain and screaming, everyone sweated for him, for fear that Xun Di would beat people to death.

But fortunately, Xun Di didn't tease the other party for long, so he grabbed him and dragged him all the way to the city gate.

The soldiers inside the city gate had been waiting for a long time, and after a while, they tied up the people and put them on the city tower and handed them over to the emperor to deal with.

The 20,000 enemy troops watched their commander being captured alive, and lost the morale of the army for a while, so they thought about escaping.

Just as Xun Di rode forward, he shouted at them, "Soldiers, wait a minute! ”

Some of those who wanted to escape, and those who didn't, fell silent.

Xun Di continued to speak: "Everyone, the emperor of the Universiade Dynasty is on the city tower, and he knows that you were forced to take refuge in Xiao Shangyi. But the emperor said that as long as you return to obedience, everything will not be blamed for the past. ”

Xun Di took out a gold medal from his bosom.

Some of the enemy soldiers who were close to saw it and said, "It's a gold medal for avoiding death!" ”

"Death-free gold medal!?"

Xun Di nodded: "Exactly!" If you return to the Universiade Dynasty, the emperor promises that not only will you not punish the crime, but also ensure the safety of your family! ”

"Everyone is a sergeant, and we all know that it is not easy to live, just for a bite of food and a bag of military salary to support our families."

"In the future, as long as you follow the emperor, the emperor will definitely give priority to taking care of your family and let you feel at ease."

"If you want to, you can stay, and if you don't want to, you can leave on your own."

"But I think, Xiao Shangyi will definitely not let you go easily, after all, he has always been brutal, and his methods are even more ruthless!"

……

When night falls, the whole city is lit up with lights and cheers.

Bright candles lit up everywhere, and the people went out with joy to join in the feast.

Today they won, without any suspense!

The siege of the city was relieved, and immediately the army escorted food, vegetables and fruits into the city, saying that it was distributed to the people in the city free of charge to spend the winter.

The people saw the hope of life, and they supported Chen Jingkai one after another, and everyone who saw him knelt down respectfully and shouted "Long live." ”

Chen Jingkai had already burst into tears, and his heart was moved.

He asked Congsi, what can he repay Dongyan Lou.

Congsi shook his head and said, "As long as you become a good monarch in the future, it will be the best reward." ”

The feast reached its climax, everyone cheered and applauded, wine and meat were full of joy.

Chen Jingkai and Xun Di sat on the seat, watching the people below drinking and dancing excitedly, and they were also quite relieved in their hearts.

Although it was a small victory, it finally eliminated the sorrow of the people in the city for more than two months.

There will be many, many more wars that belong to them next.

This banquet is ultimately just a practice banquet, and the soldiers leave their hometowns to fight, and it is not known when they will be able to.

Congsi left Zhangjun in the afternoon.

Because Chen Jingkai helped the landlord Xiao Yuan to bring a message, he asked Congsi to hurry back to see his father-in-law who waited in the building to thank the flowers.

I couldn't cry or laugh, so I packed my things and went straight to the direction of Nameless Island.

……

And in the case that everyone didn't know, Xiao Shangyi was in the temporary palace.

When he heard the news of the defeat, he was furious and killed dozens of palace maids who were serving around him one by one, but he still couldn't get rid of his hatred.

At this time, he was sitting gloomily in the temple, not saying a word.

Outside the door, a hat wearing a black veil slowly walked in.

The sharp-voiced eunuch whispered in Xiao Shangyi's ear: "Your Majesty, someone has brought." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Shangyi turned his head and stared directly at the man with a hat not far away.

"Show your face."

As soon as the words fell, the man took off his hat, revealing a face exactly the same as Xiao Shangyi.

Seeing this, Xiao Shangyi hooked the corners of his mouth: "Very good, from today on, you will play me here, if you show any horses' feet, you will definitely be broken into ten thousand pieces!"

The man knelt on the ground in panic and begged for mercy: "My subordinates will not live up to the emperor's heavy responsibility!" ”

"Good!"

……

In the dark, Xiao Shangyi disguised himself and quietly left from the secret passage opened up by the palace under the protection of the master.
