Su Zixi lowered his hand weakly: "Then what should I do, is it only like this?" ”

"That's the best solution at the moment." Xun Chang looked at her and said with relief: "Your Highness, rest assured, Your Majesty will be fine." Your Highness should have a good rest now, after all, the body is important. ”

Su Zixi lowered his eyelashes and lay behind him, his eyes glazed, like a lifeless porcelain doll, with his back to Xun Chang: "Then you go, I'll stay alone for a while." ”

“…… Okay, the minister retired. Xun often wanted to say something, but he still chose to leave Su Zixi enough time and space to think.

As the only princess of the Supreme Kingdom, she had been growing up under the protection of her brother before, and it was normal for her to experience these things suddenly, and she couldn't stand it.

But one day she will grow up and take on everything she has to bear.

For the country, for the people, for the family, for himself, he shouldered the heavy responsibility that once fell on Su Zishu.

After Xun Chang withdrew, he immediately came to the study and wrote a letter to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

The black ink fell on the white rice paper, was then dried, folded up by a pair of neat and clean fingers, and stuffed into an envelope, on which a feather was inserted, marked with the word urgent, and handed to the attendant.

The squire withdrew with the letter, and then trotted out.

Xun Chang looked up at the sky outside the window, drowsy, and the north wind was blowing, as if there was a pair of big hands invisibly stirring up the night, stirring up the wind and clouds between countries.

He gathered his clothes and closed the window with a frown, keeping the howling north wind out.

This winter, the snow has not yet fallen, but it is extremely cold.

*

Xun Chang and Su Zixi didn't wait for the reply from the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, but waited for the soldier's report-

A large number of Ming troops at the gate of the city are approaching!

Su Zixi, who was writing, heard this, his fingers loosened, and the brush rolled down from the table, and the ink stained the ground and splashed on the hem of Xun Chang's clothes.

She looked up at Xun Chang, her eyes were puzzled, panicked and angry, but she rarely didn't cry.

She tried her best to make her voice sound smooth and calm: "Xun Xiang...... What's going on? ”

Xun Chang's expression was as cold as ice, and after touching Su Zixi's gaze, he forced himself to be gentle, but he still couldn't help but clench his fists: "Your Highness stays here with peace of mind, I will go to the city tower to have a look now." ”

Su Zixi pulled his sleeve: "Wait! I'm going too. ”

Xun Chang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at Su Zixi's firm eyes, he still agreed.

After a while, the two of them came to the castle tower, and although the soldiers were panicked, they were well-trained all year round, and they still fluently set up their bows and arrows, ready to resist this sudden attack.

Smoke and dust rose from below the city tower, the crane-patterned banner of the Ming Kingdom fluttered in the air, Shen Linhan rode on a horse in armor, followed by a large number of people and horses, his eyes were full of provocation.

He looked up at Xun Chang, and after a while, his eyes moved to Su Zixi, and said with a smile: "What, Su Zishu doesn't dare to come out?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Zixi's emotions suddenly became intense: "You Mingguo did not keep your integrity, openly tore up the covenant, and robbed my imperial brother, and now you are even pretending to ask my imperial brother why he didn't dare to come out!" I'm going to ask you, what happened to my royal brother?! ”

She clutched the walls with her hands, leaned forward, her nails digging deep into the cracks in the stone, and looked furious.

Xun Chang hurriedly pulled her back and reminded: "Your Highness calm down. ”

After speaking, he glanced coldly at Shen Linhan under the city tower, and asked word by word: "I also want to ask, the Ming Kingdom has just signed an alliance with us on the front foot, and the back foot has sent the eldest prince to my supreme city with troops, I don't know what this move means?" ”

When Shen Linhan heard Su Zixi's words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Su Zishu is not in the Supreme Kingdom?" ”

Su Zixi sneered: "I don't know best if you are not the third prince of the Ming Kingdom!" ”

As soon as Shen Linhan heard Shen Yan's name, he subconsciously frowned, and a bad premonition ignited in his heart.

He didn't want to talk to the two of them at this time, his instincts told him that he had to fight quickly, and once he conquered the Supreme Kingdom, everything would be settled.

Thinking of this, his voice was a little colder: "Less nonsense, Su Zishu has done a lot of things like tearing up the covenant, and I just use the way of others to govern others." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, and immediately a soldier rushed forward behind him, drove the chariot to hit the city gate, and ordered other soldiers to set up the ladder and catapult, and the archer set up the bow and crossbow.

Xun Chang did not send troops out to meet the battle, but immediately ordered people to defend the city gate, and ordered the archers to release arrows to minimize casualties while guarding the city gate.

Shen Linhan thought that he could surprise the attack, but he didn't expect that the Supreme Kingdom could defend so tightly in an emergency, and if they didn't send troops to meet the battle, their soldiers would be in the active position, although they also seriously injured the enemy, but the number of casualties continued to increase.

His eyebrows were tightly locked, he held a bow and arrow in his hand, raised his hand, and aimed at Su Zixi above the city tower.

Xun Chang saw Shen Linhan's action of raising his hand, and he was shocked from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly went to pull Su Zixi, Su Zixi was brought to the ground by Xun Chang's strength, and he was able to avoid Shen Linhan's arrow.

After Su Zixi dodged it, the arrow shot straight at a soldier behind her.

Su Zixi watched the soldier in front of her fall to the ground, her lips purple, but she was dead in a short moment.

Looking at this familiar death, Su Zixi's eyes widened in disbelief.

She suddenly turned her head and looked at the source of the arrow, Shen Linhan's bow and arrow under the city tower were aimed at her, and she didn't have time to take it back.

He sighed regretfully, looked around, and feared that it would be detrimental to him if he continued to fight, so he waved his hand, gave orders, and left with the army in an instant.

Su Zixi clenched his fists.

Luo Changning once told her that she was not the murderer behind the scenes, but she did not tell Su Zixi who the real murderer was.

It was only now that Su Zixi clearly realized that the murderer behind the assassination of the imperial brother on the road last time was actually Shen Linhan!

She gritted her teeth hatefully: The people of the Ming Kingdom, whether it is Shen Yan or Shen Linhan, are all raccoon dogs, and they have long been ambushed and want the life of his imperial brother!

Even if she fights to the death, she won't let them easily capture the Supreme Kingdom and seize her country!

Su Zixi slowly stood up, ignoring his scattered sideburns, supporting his knees, and raised his head and asked Xun Changdao: "Xun Xiang, can we hold the Supreme Kingdom?" ”

Xun Xiang's face was serious, and his expression was so heavy that it seemed that he could drip water: "At present, this period has passed, but Shen Linhan is stationed outside the city and surrounds the Supreme Kingdom, and the residents in the city are cut off from water and food, and I am afraid that they will not last long." ”
