Chapter 252: Loss

The words fell silent.

Looking at the killing intent in Li Qingyan's eyes, Xu Yuan felt that he should be moved.

After all, people killed their own brother for the sake of his fiancΓ©.

But I don't know why, Xu Yuan is very calm now, so calm that he even feels that Li Qingyan is playing him.

If it was Da Bingtuozi who wanted to raise his sword to cut Li Zhaoyuan, he would definitely not doubt it, but Li Qingyan Well, she might as well forget it.

Although the two have met frankly now, even if Li Qingyan is now willing to communicate with him more deeply on this big red bed, Xu Yuan should not believe her or not.

So for this question, Xu Yuan did not answer positively.

Glancing in the direction of the main entrance of the barracks, he asked with a smile:

"The news of Vice Admiral Cang spread so quickly? The war has just ended, and His Royal Highness has brought me here? ”

Vice General Cang's speed should not be as good as Li Zhaoyuan's, even if Li Zhaoyuan said that he borrowed external power to use the Dao Domain, it would be at least a fake product.

"It doesn't matter how Vice Admiral Cang informed Yu Bengong."

Li Qingyan shook his head slightly, staring at Xu Yuan, without the slightest intention of skipping this topic: "The important thing is that the second brother of the palace really wants to kill you?" ”

Looking at the persistence in Li Qingyan's eyes, Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, and the smile on his face remained unchanged:

"If I say yes, Qingyan, you plan to kill your relatives for my righteousness?"

Li Qingyan frowned slightly when she heard this, she didn't seem to be satisfied with Xu Yuan's ambiguous answer, smiled slightly, and the answer was also ambiguous:

"Righteous annihilation. It is also not uncommon in the history of my Li family. ”

"Not really"

Xu Yuan sighed quietly, and his voice was word-by-word: "Qingyan, the relationship between the two of us should not have reached this point." ”

"Yet?"

When Li Qingyan heard this, he glanced at himself and asked with a smile: "What does the concubine think about the relationship in this palace?" ”

Xu Yuan met her gaze and smiled, but did not speak.

Li Qingyan was really good to him, even so good that he couldn't be controlled by the flirtatiousness.

But the relationship between the two is not yet in place,

At least, not to the point where he could kill her own brother.

But the longest lesson that those bad women taught him in his previous life was not to believe in the acting skills of bad women, especially when you don't know what bad women are planning for you.

Seeing Xu Yuan's appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Li Qingyan retracted the smile on her face, and her gaze seemed to cross the layers of walls, and saw Li Zhaoyuan standing at the door of the barracks:

"Pony. I killed my second brother, but it was really not because the second brother wanted to kill you. ”

Xu Yuan's cheeks twitched.

Kill the second brother

Can this be said directly?

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan chuckled and stared at Li Qingyan with interest:

"You're just going straight to the point."

Li Qingyan's red eyes glanced at Xu Yuan, without any ambiguity just now, and his voice was as cold as in the military formation:

"If you lie, you shouldn't believe this palace because of your intelligence."

Xu Yuan asked with a little curiosity:

"In that case, then why are Qingyan angry because of this?"

"Pony, what do you think will be the consequences of your death in the Northern Lockdown?" Li Qingyan did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Huh?"

Xu Yuan hesitated, thought slightly, and replied with a smile: "If I die in the Northern Closure City, my father should be very sad, and he will be sad and many people will die." ”

Li Qingyan's red eyes brought a touch of coldness:

"It is true that many people will die, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the cooperation between my father and Duke Xu will crack in an instant."

After a moment's pause,

Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes:

"Pony, who do you say wants you to die in the Northern Blockade?"

Xu Yuan was quiet for a few breaths and spit out two words:

"Zongmen."

"Yes, Zongmen."

Li Qingyan smiled, but the smile between his red lips was as piercing as the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing:

"Therefore, my second brother must not have the intention of killing you, if he wants to kill you, it means that he wants to destroy the cooperation between his father and Duke Xu, and it means that he has chosen to favor those sects by any means in order to compete for the throne."

The words fell, and Xu Yuan's mood began to spread.

Li Zhaoyuan wanted to kill him, but he had only thought about the heir of Xiangguo Mansion before, but he hadn't thought so deeply

If he really died in Beifeng, no matter whether it was found out or not, whether it was Li Zhaoyuan's hand or not, this black cauldron would have to be carried on the royal family.

At the beginning, it was you, Li Yaoxuan, who wanted me to Xu Yinhe to send his heir to your army in exchange for the trust of both parties, but now that he is dead, he is dead under your noses, give me an explanation?

There's no way to explain that.

The old man might have been able to surmise that someone might be doing something wrong, but he wasn't sure either.

Because the sect is indeed a thorn in the side of the royal family, but now why not the Xiangguo Mansion?

The two sides themselves are an alliance of mutual trust as fragile as glass, and the death of Xu Yuan will become a pebble to smash this glass.

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the red-clothed stunner in front of him with a slightly strange look.

Li Qingyan should not have as much information as him, and he has known it for a shorter time than him.

hiss

Why is this woman not only cultivated to a high level, but why is her brain so good?

This made him how to revive his husband in the future

"Pony."

Li Qingyan's murmur interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts.

He raised his eyes.

Her red eyes shone with stunning beauty:

"After the wedding, it is Wu Yuan in the main palace outside, and it is just Qingyan in the main palace at home, you don't have to think about revitalizing your husband."

Xu Yuan's heart trembled slightly when he heard this, and when a strange feeling gradually spread, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Staring at her soft eyes, Xu Yuan was a little stunned.

Made, the King's Bureau.

This bad woman is too dangerous.

He felt that the bad women who had gone through the information explosion in his previous life were not as high as this Wu Yuan.

Wait, she couldn't have pretended to be in pain and excited before, right?

If yes

Su Jinxuan, you're so ashamed.

Gather your mind

Xu Yuan cocked Erlang's legs, and said with a smile unhurriedly:

"Qingyan, I don't really believe in promises, promises that can't be fulfilled can only be shackles."

Translate it, be practical, don't write blank checks, buddy don't believe it.

Li Qingyan snorted:

"Whether it can be realized, you will naturally know after you get married."

It's broken.

As soon as Xu Yuan found out that her words came out, he was already looking forward to this political marriage in his heart.

This does not bode well.

Missing Da Bingtuozi, a good woman, twice, Xu Yuan suppressed the ripples in his heart, stared at her and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Qingyan also brought the topic back on track:

"So, donkey, does that second brother in this palace really want to kill you?"

"I can only say that it is a little bit like, but there is no evidence." Xu Yuan replied truthfully this time.

"Really?"

"Of course."

Xu Yuan spread his hands very shamefully.

He really has no evidence, except for a small amount of information, and the previous inferences are all derived from the logic of behavior.

The sect's warehouse was bombed by Qin Weijiu's side, and Su Jinxuan did not find out that Qin Weijiu had a connection with Li Zhaoyuan.

And Li Zhaoyuan's trip to Dongcheng can also be explained by winning the hearts of the army.

Everything is impeccable.

Li Qingyan thought for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"Horse, you should have some information that this palace doesn't know, right?"

Xu Yuan denied without hesitation:

"No, the information is all from Lou Ji, and he only gave me a few ways to escape."

He does not plan to participate in this battle for succession.

It's not that he is not interested, it's simply because the prime minister's father may have his own plans, and blindly participating in it without knowing it may destroy the other party's plan.

chatting with Li Yunqing's sixth child before, it can be regarded as arching fire, and it can be regarded as burying a back road.

If the third prince really believes it, there is a high probability that the promise will become a blank check, and the underwear of the old six pit will have to be sold.

Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan deeply and sighed:

"Okay, this palace is probably clear, this palace will not go out of the city again, you follow me, Li Zhaoyuan can't hurt you."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly when he saw this.

If the second prince Li Zhaoyuan really wanted to kill him, he could only take advantage of Li Qingyan's opportunity to go out of the city, but unfortunately his best opportunity had been missed.

After changing into a standard commander's armor, Li Qingyan took Xu Yuan to the barracks outside and called Li Zhaoyuan in.

Xu Yuan was wearing a personal guard armor, standing behind Li Qingyan as a door god, watching the two talk.

The way Li Zhaoyuan and Li Qingyan get along with each other does not look like brother and sister at all, but is a bit like superiors and subordinates.

Li Qingyan expressed his gratitude, Li Zhaoyuan humbly excused himself, and then arranged for Li Zhaoyuan to defend the city in the next series.

The two talked about the city defense and military affairs for half an hour, and Li Zhaoyuan arched his hand and went back to the palace.

After Li Zhaoyuan left, only Xu Yuan and the others were left in the barracks again.

Li Qingyan was dressed in armor, leaning on the back of the chair, full of queen fan.

Xu Yuan stood behind her and looked at her, looking at her with his eyes down and thinking.

Beautiful people really look at it for a long time, and they will find it pleasing to the eye.

About two quarters of an hour later, after the briefing, several lieutenants entered the barracks one after another and handed over several files to Li Qingyan.

Very thick stack.

Li Qingyan did not shy away from Xu Yuan, who was standing behind her, and looked at it page by page openly.

The contents of the dossier are some statistics about the northern lockdown.

As an important border military town, Beifeng City is not as prosperous as those prefectures in Dayan, most of the area is military camps, and there are only 300,000 non-soldiers inside, most of whom are family members of the army, as well as the families of some businessmen who come here to do business.

Counting the private chivalry troupe and martial arts such as dart walking, the proportion of cultivators among the people in the city is frighteningly high.

Third.

In other words, in the early 100,000s.

Of course, this part is basically cannon fodder that has just been introduced, or about nine products.

Xu Yuanzheng was looking at these statistics, and suddenly heard Li Qingyan's cold voice coming out:

"Captain Kim, come in."

Waited for a few breaths,

A young man in the armor of a lieutenant trotted into the barracks, knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, hung his head and said respectfully:

"Your Highness."

Li Qingyan glanced at the data on the file, and said casually without raising his head:

"You go and send all these cultivators and martial disciples in the city to the city wall to defend the city."

β€œ.” Xu Yuan

Captain Jin was obviously stunned when he heard this, raised his eyes, and said tentatively:

"Your Highness, if you act like this, I am afraid that it will provoke those people to rebel."

Low-level martial artists who don't understand the military formation are cannon fodder on the battlefield, and against those barbarians, the battle loss ratio of ten to one is already high.

People who live in the North Lockdown all year round will not be ignorant of this.

Li Qingyan raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, without any emotion in his eyes:

"Rebellious? You go and tell those border generals that the palace allows them to "hire" the warriors in the city to help defend the city, and they will find a way to solve it. ”

Captain Jin hesitated slightly, but he didn't speak again, and arched his hand:

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."

Watching this Captain Jin leave, Xu Yuan suddenly asked out loud:

"Won't this kind of captured strong man escape from the battle?"

Li Qingyan's indifferent face showed a touch of warmth, and he looked back and sighed:

"Yes, but it must be done, otherwise we won't be able to hold this northern lockdown."

Saying,

She handed the back files to Xu Yuan:

"Look at it."

Xu Yuan took the files and asked:

"Don't you see?"

Li Qingyan smiled slightly:

"The soul of this palace is not an ornament."

β€œ.” Xu Yuan.

Well, just now she pretended to flip through the dossier to show him completely.

Bad women do things and will always let you know in this kind of inadvertent way.

And then the little adds up.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, took it with a steady heart, and began to flip through it, but as he browsed, he no longer had the heart to think about these messy things.

The previous was the statistics of various items in the city, and what Li Qingyan handed him was the loss in the city of Beifeng today.

It was only two hours from the dawn of the day to the end of the battle, and there were 300,000 people in the city, and 50,000 people were killed and wounded.

In order to concentrate energy to protect the city wall, Li Zhaoyuan removed the canopy above the city, and the barbarian catapults, which performed miracles, threw countless boulders and ice pick thorns and other instruments into the city without hindrance.

Buildings were destroyed, ruins piled up, and countless people who had just fallen asleep were buried directly in the rubble.

And these are basically casualties of ordinary people.

Those throws of the barbarians, as long as they don't mess up when their vision is not obstructed, it is not too difficult for cultivators, even if they are only cultivators of the ninth grade, to dodge.

However, the casualties of the people in the city are only a small head, and the majority is among the current defenders of the North Closure City.

About 23,000 were killed, 37,000 were missing, 13,000 were slightly injured, and 7,000 were seriously injured.

Looking at the word "missing" marked at the bottom, Xu Yuan opened his mouth, feeling a little ridiculous.

This is missing. Referring to the soldiers who were beaten directly to pulp on the eastern city wall?

If you can't find the bones, it's naturally missing

Xu Yuan was silent and handed the file back to Li Qingyan after reading all kinds of statistics.

A total of 130,000 defenders of Beifeng were killed in less than two hours

Ban Yu,

Xu Yuan asked:

"What about the losses on the barbarians' side?"

Wen Yan,

Li Qingyan slowly stood up from the chair, leaned back on the table, his red eyes sideways, his slender fingertips gently stroked the long hair that fell down, and whispered:

"The barbarian clan has suffered greater losses, but the barbarian king will soon receive the news of the 'Yun Qi Bullet', and we must immediately let those chivalrous darts in the city go up to consume their vital strength, so that we can defend this northern closed city before the elite of the sect returns to defense."
