Chapter Forty-Eight

"Big brother! Kill us! We are not afraid of death! ”

The other little girl also cried, her voice choked and trembling.

Then almost all the people who were held hostage shouted, including old men, strong men, pregnant women and immature children, but they were not afraid of life and death, but they only hoped that the Northern Holy Army would defeat Tur and rescue their loved ones as soon as possible.

The Northern Saint soldiers looked at Mu Lingci one after another, waiting for his decision, but most of the people's hearts were already shaken, and they couldn't do anything to the people they swore to protect.

Mu Lingci didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately shouted: "Siege!" Cover the crash! Le Ji took the Xuanjia Army up the ladder! ”

I saw the banner of the Northern Saint Army waving in the wind, and the Northern Saint soldiers in the front row were like an indestructible armor, branching out from it to form an encirclement and tightly encircle the crashing car.

On the other side, the Xuanjia army led by Le Ji rushed to the city wall with a cloud ladder, and the Xuanjia army was well-trained, and blocked the arrows of the Tule army in three strokes and five divisions.

When the Turks saw that the Northern Saint Army was about to go up the city wall, they immediately lifted the stone and wanted to smash it down, but suddenly the woman who took the lead in speaking suddenly pressed her body against the Turber army and stopped the actions of the Turber army.

Seeing this, the Tule army on the side drew their scimitars and slashed at the woman, and the woman's blood was immediately splattered on the spot, and the blood splashed on the faces of the surrounding Huizhou people, and they were all dumbfounded. The Natur army kicked the woman's body away, and continued to pick up the stone and smash it at the Xuanjia army.

The Xuanjia Army was well-trained, and they were very dexterous enough to dodge the falling rocks, but no matter how dexterous they were, they couldn't withstand the falling rocks one after another, and two of the Xuanjia soldiers unfortunately fell from a high place to protect their comrades and died on the spot. Seeing this, the bound people of Huizhou looked at each other, and they all mustered up the courage to twist their bodies to crash away from the Tule army carrying stones.

Even children and pregnant women were no exception, the Tule army suddenly became angry, the scimitar was waved, the city wall was full of people's blood, the pregnant woman was covered in blood, trembling and touched her stomach and finally died with hatred, there were no surviving Huizhou people on the city wall.

At this moment, the crash had already knocked the city gate open, and Le Ji also rushed to the city wall with the Xuanjia army, but the Tule army was like an invincible wolf, and fiercely poured out of the city to defeat the Northern Saint infantry and retreat. At this time, Mu Lingci led thousands of Xuanjia Army iron cavalry to outflank the Turkic army from both sides, and directly attacked the middle of the Turkic army, and the Turkic army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that the Northern Holy Army was about to attack Huizhou City, Ashinacomo immediately led a small group of men and horses to rush into Huizhou City and rushed towards the dense forest.

Mu Ling swore to kill this mad demon with his own hands, so he rode his horse and chased after him.

The battle was undoubtedly a victory for the Northern Saints, and the surviving Turian captives were taken into custody. When Leji and the Northern Saint entered Huizhou City, they found that it was already filled with gunsmoke, many houses were burned, and there were countless corpses of ordinary people on the streets.

The mutilated people were rescued, their bodies more or less wounded, and their eyes full of sadness. There are also people who have lost their loved ones and loved ones, and even if they are rescued, they are full of despair.

A few days later, the news of the defeat of Turle by the Northern Holy Army spread throughout the capital, bringing good news but also bad news, that is, Mu Lingci was unfortunately ambushed on the way to hunt Ashinakomo, and only found his sword and blood-stained clothes in the mountains and forests.

Emperor Shun almost didn't come up in a breath when he heard the news in the court, and hurriedly asked people to step up the search of Huizhou City, but they still found nothing after searching for several days. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Mu Lingci has been killed. The mountains and forests around Jiannan Road are all dangerous and abnormal, and the chances of surviving alone are slim.

During this period of time, Lou Yunxiao and Ye Hanxi lived in seclusion in the deep palace and followed Xi Shangyi to learn palace rules and etiquette, Lou Yunxiao always didn't take it to heart, she remembered Mu Lingci, how could she have the heart to learn these things.

Concubine Shen Shu didn't want to see her, and seeing her so careless looked even more unpleasant.

"You are going to marry Shi Che as the princess in the future, how can you be worthy of marrying him with your virtue?"

Under the pavilion of the imperial garden, Concubine Shen Shu looked at her future daughter-in-law in front of her, how unpleasant she looked.

"Concubine Shen Shu is dissatisfied with my daughter-in-law, so it is better to persuade the Nine Emperor Princes to stay away from me and let me go home as soon as possible to choose another concubine." Lou Yunxiao endured it for a few days, and this time she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"You! How dare you talk back! Shen Shufei didn't expect her to reply, and immediately widened her eyes, "Meng Zhi!" Call me! ”

Meng Zhi, who was standing beside Shen Shufei, raised her hand and was about to hit Lou Yunxiao in the face, but Lou Yunxiao grabbed Meng Zhi's hand.

Meng Zhi, who was caught in the hand, was full of surprise, and immediately raised his other hand.

"Stop!"

A calm and heavy voice sounded in Ganlu, and everyone immediately heard it.

I saw manna gently holding Li Wanxi's hand, and the two slowly stepped onto the stone steps.

"Shen Shufei is such a big shelf!" Li Wanxi glanced at Concubine Shen Shu, and didn't want to look at her more.

Concubine Shen Shufei immediately stood up and bowed to Li Wanxi, "Imperial Aunt Wan'an." ”

Lou Yunxiao also immediately saluted when she saw this, and Li Wanxi stepped forward to help her up, "Don't be afraid, as long as I am here, even the Holy Lord will not dare to beat you here." ”

"Thank you for saving me."

Li Wanxi patted her hand kindly, and then said to Shen Shufei: "Lou Sanniang is also the princess of the Holy Lord, and she will be Li Shiche's wife in the future, what kind of identity do you dare to beat the princess!" Even in the palace, you are still a concubine! ”

This is the most painful part of Shen Ziying's heart, when Emperor Shun was taken in by Shen Shaorong, she fell in love with Emperor Shun at first sight, and used some means to cook raw rice into cooked rice. At that time, Emperor Shun had already married Ning Xinwan, he didn't want to take revenge on Shen Jiaen, so he was in a dilemma, Shen Ziying saw this situation and looked for death several times, and finally Emperor Shun had no choice but to accept Shen Ziying.

Later, Emperor Shun was put on the throne, Shen Ziying lied that she was pregnant in order to sit on the back seat smoothly, she thought she could become the queen smoothly, but Li Wanxi exposed her at this time.

After Emperor Shun successfully established Ning Xinwan, Shen Ziying held a grudge against Li Wanxi after her hopes were disappointed, so she ordered someone to assassinate Li Xinxi's concubine, and also caused Li Yixi to have a miscarriage in fear and lose her only child.

Li Wanxi had long known that Shen Ziying had done all this, but she also understood that Emperor Shun would not easily punish the Shen family, because the Shen family represented the Shun faction of the previous dynasty, and if the Shen family was punished, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among some people. She is well versed in the truth that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, so she endured it for more than 20 years.

"No matter how I say it, I am also Shi Che's biological mother, Lou Yunxiao will also call me a mother in the future, and discipline my future daughter-in-law, will the imperial aunt also intervene?" Shen Ziying said unwillingly.

"As long as she is not married, she is not your daughter-in-law, and it is not your turn to shout here! Ganlu, you used to be in the Shang Palace, and you are most familiar with the palace rules, tell Shen Shufei what is the crime of abusing lynching in the palace? ”

"Returning to the imperial aunt, anyone who abuses lynching in the palace will be punished with fifteen days of confinement."

"Shen Shufei, did you hear me?" The imperial aunt looked at her with fierce eyes.

Concubine Shen Shu's head drooped lower and lower, glared at Lou Yunxiao fiercely and said, "The concubine suddenly remembered that the saint was going to come to the Scarlet Palace for dinner tonight, so the concubine went back to prepare first." ”

Watching Concubine Shen Shufei walk away, Lou Yunxiao immediately gave Li Wanxi a big gift, "Thank you for saving the imperial aunt today." ”

"Get up quickly, kid," Li Wanxi helped her up and pulled her to sit down together, "I saved you for Cangyuan, I know he is happy with you." ”

At that time, when Lou Yunxiao was selected as the Nine Emperor Princesses, she almost thought that she had heard it wrong, but when she knew, it was too late.

Lou Yunxiao heard the word Cangyuan and immediately raised her spirits, "Cangyuan, is he back?" ”

Li Wanxi looked at the pair of tender and worried eyes, and felt very uncomfortable, "Yunxiao, Cangyuan he...... I'm afraid he won't be able to come back. Li Shiche is not a good person, wait for some time, I will find a reasonable reason to send you out of the palace. ”

After speaking, Li Wanxi's eyes were already red.

"What?" Lou Yunxiao couldn't believe what she heard, she had been looking forward to it for three months, and she was actually looking forward to the news of Cangyuan's death, she smiled stiffly, tears rolled in her eyes, and shook her head, "Impossible, he said that he wanted me to wait for him to come back and marry me." ”

Li Wanxi didn't say anything more, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

When night fell, Lou Yunxiao returned to the Hall of Ten Thousand Blessings like a walking corpse, the words of the imperial aunt had been going over and over in her mind, she never believed that Cangyuan was dead, but on the way back, several yellow doors whispered, all saying that Mu Cangyuan died in Huizhou, and there were no bones.

She felt that the warmest and most beautiful side of her heart had collapsed, and an indescribable pain spread from her heart, she took off the phoenix hairpin from her bun and held it tightly in her hand, the copper piece of the phoenix tail was pierced in her hand, and a stream of blood flowed out instantly.

Suddenly, a strong arm wrenched her injured hand away and threw the phoenix hairpin.

"Lou Yunxiao, what are you doing!" The Nine Emperors shouted angrily at her.

But Lou Yunxiao just stared blankly at the phoenix hairpin on the ground, and didn't feel that his hands were already full of blood.

The Nine Emperors rudely dragged her into the western hall and bandaged her wounds. Lou Yunxiao was always like a puppet, her expression was dull, and she didn't say a word.

"Do you already know about Mu Ling's death?" The Nine Emperor Princes asked with suppressed anger.

"You did it." Lou Yunxiao replied without thinking, her eyes full of hatred.

The Nine Emperor Princes half-squatted in front of her and looked up at her, "Yun Xiao, I admit that at the beginning, I did choose you as a concubine in order to take revenge on Mu Lingci. But then I slowly found out that I really like you, you are different from those women who throw me in my arms, I really want to marry you. But his death was definitely not done by me, and I know that he is sad and sad to die. ”

He said that he was sad, but his eyes were full of hypocrisy, Lou Yunxiao was too lazy to watch him act, and replied directly: "You don't need to be hypocritical here, this will only make me think you are disgusting!" ”

"Yunxiao, no matter what you think, everything I say is true. You and I are about to get married, can't you take a good look at me? The Nine Emperor Princes grabbed Lou Yunxiao's hand.

"Get out!" Lou Yunxiao shook off his hand, "I'll never like you, get out of here!" Get lost! ”

The Nine Emperor Princes gritted his teeth, held back his anger, stood up and walked towards the door, but he still looked at her as he left and said, "Even if you can't get your heart, you have to get your people." Lou Yunxiao, don't even think about escaping from the palm of my hand in your life! ”
