"I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, and the ministers are unwelcome, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins."

Knowing that Zhao Yizhi was there in person, Rong Lan led a group of officials of Si Tianjian and hurriedly came to greet him outside the yamen.

"Ah, I'm just going to come over and have a look, you're busy with yours."

Zhao Yizhi looked around, the current Si Tianjian was already a withered talent, and none of the elderly ministers could see it. The youngest is just Rong Lan, you know, this year, he is just twenty-seven.

Can such a young man really understand the heavens?

Zhao Yizhi regretted a little, he was speechless for a while in the court that day, and praised Rong Lan for being young and promising, but he didn't want to cause the old supervisor to secretly tell the old man to return to his hometown. The other old ministers of this heavenly prison are afraid that they will all resign with Chang Mi and return to their hometowns.

Everyone waited for a while, and seeing that Zhao Yizhi had no other instructions, they all got up and returned to the mansion, busy with their own affairs.

"Rong Aiqing, wait a minute." Zhao Yi held Rong Lan's call.

"The minister is here." Rong Lan froze and turned around to wait for the order.

Zhao Yizhi hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I don't know the old supervisor Chang Aiqing... Are you in good health? ”

Rong Lan paused for a moment and said, "Back to Your Majesty, after Lord Chang returned to his hometown, I have been asking for letters, but... The old supervisor never heard back. So... The minister is not unaware. ”

After Rong Lan ate Yi Xiaodao's deflated in Nanhuai, he no longer had that arrogant spirit, and he was much calmer and more cautious.

Zhao Yizhi nodded, and laughed softly: "I'm afraid I'm angry..."

Rong Lan didn't dare to reply, and Zhao Yizhi waved his hand helplessly: "You go." ”

Leaving Si Tianjian, Zhao Yizhi was on the way back to the palace, thinking of Shen Mengyin's words, after all, he was still unwilling, and shouted: "Manager Wang! ”

"The old slave is here!" After Chen Congwei left, Wang Zhenliang almost never left Zhao Yizhi day and night, for fear that he would not have anyone to call.

"Send someone to send a message to Changmi, saying that I have something to call and ask him to return to Beijing."

"The old slave will do it immediately!"

……

Northland.

The nine people rode against the wind, and the two were far ahead, and the two leading were Bai Xinglong and Yao Qingmiao.

"After walking for so long, I haven't seen the figure of Wu Dinggong, could it be that we have crossed him without noticing?" Yao Qingmiao frowned and asked everyone.

Among the eight sons of yin and yang, Yao Qingmiao has the best light skills, and now he is doing it with all his strength, and his speed is on par with Bai Xinglong. It's just that it's so fast, I didn't even see the shadow of Yi Xiaodao, which made people suspicious.

The wind was fierce, blowing the white star dragon's robes. When his strength was gone, he lightly touched a branch and jumped up again: "I haven't competed with my eldest brother, I don't know how fast my eldest brother is, but I am sure that he is not below me." ”

"Now I haven't seen my eldest brother in nine pairs of eyes, or do you think that eldest brother will walk slowly on the ground and return to the city?"

Yao Qingmiao thought about it, although he didn't know much about Wudinggong, whether it was the capital, the rivers and lakes, or even the military army, it was rumored that Wudinggong was a person of great affection and righteousness.

His wife was trapped in the city, and anyone should be crazy. What's more, what about this affectionate and righteous Wu Dinggong?

Among the seven people in the back, one person stepped up and walked with Yao Qingmiao and Bai Xinglong.

"Jian Liuyun, when did you become so fast?"

Yao Qingmiao was taken aback, among the seven people, Jian Liuyun's light skills were only mid-stream, and they were not even as fast as the spear and the sword!

Jian Liuyun didn't answer, letting the wind blow his long hair, and his feet were only fast and not slow.

Bai Xinglong glanced at her in surprise, and naturally saw that she was already fighting for her life, and reminded: "If you continue like this, even if you return to the city, you won't be able to do anything." ”

Jian Liuyun seemed to have listened this time, his body retreated slightly, and he fell back into the other six, and the anger in his eyes was unabated.

"He Yue'er, do you want to die?" Jian Liuyun silently questioned over and over again in his mind...

……

When I returned to the city, I had been fighting for a whole day and a night.

It's night again, the city walls are brightly lit, and the fighting continues.

Although the city wall of the north city is newly built, it is shorter than the previous original city wall, but it is also dozens of zhang high. But now the corpses under the city have been piled up to half of the city wall.

The situation on the city wall was not much better, and the corpses of Beiyi and Beidi Army were piled up everywhere, and slowly, the corpses of the Yulin Army also pressed forward and covered the top.

Blood leaked down the wall from the side cracks of the wall, ticking and ticking, echoing the shouts of killing. Under the city, a small stream of blood slowly flowed into the moat.

Moat... It's almost filled.

Returning to the city, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

He Yue'er and Tang Xingchang stood on a tall building in the city, looking at the battle situation on the north city wall from afar.

"Mrs. Yi, you have also seen that the soldiers used their lives to defend the return to the city, and they never gave in half a step. It's just that if it goes on like this, it can't be kept, is it true that Madame wants to die here? ”

Tang Xingchang didn't understand why He Yue'er was already the Duchess of the country, and she didn't have to worry about fine clothes and food all her life, so why she was holding on to it in this return city.

He Yue'er said slowly: "When I was a child, I once pinched a butterfly to death at the door of my house..."

Tang Xingchang stomped his feet angrily, when are you still telling stories here! But for He Yue'er, he didn't dare to scold, let alone fight, so he had no choice but to get off the city wall and lead the reserve team to the north of the city.

He Yue'er looked at Tang Xingchang, who was leaving, and closed her voice, and the audience was gone.

"Master, I want to listen, pinched a butterfly to death, and then what?" Man Yong stood beside He Yue'er and asked.

"My mother saw it and told me six words: 'At the beginning of man, nature is good'. Later, I learned that this is the six characters of the opening chapter of the three-character classic. I used to live in the mountains with my father and mother, and I didn't know what was good and what was evil. Until... Met Yi Xiaodao. ”

"We were hunted down, he went to the village to steal food, was beaten, came back with a limp, and gave me and Xiao Ling what little food he had. I cried right then, I didn't understand... Heh..."

"Later, in Wucheng, the old boatman was killed, and we didn't know about it until the capital, and Yi Xiaodao was very angry at that time... Very angry..."

"And later... I heard that Zhao Ziyang, who had been bullying him in Wancheng, was bullied on the street because of the flood, and he didn't care about his past suspicions and came to help..."

"Nanhuai, Donglu, heh, except for Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang is for me... He does everything for the sake of others, and I know I've met the right person. ”

"Now that he is in trouble in the city, if he wakes up and knows, I don't know how sad he will be in his heart. But if he knew that I, the Duchess of the Kingdom, had accompanied this city to the last moment, he would have been happier..."

Man Yong's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity: "Master... You've been in this city until now, just for... Make Master happy? ”

He Yue'er looked at Man Yong: "What?" Don't you want your master to be happy? ”

Man Yong shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, of course I want to." It's just that... I think there are many things that can make Master happy, such as waking up and seeing you for the first time. It's not like you're going to take such a big risk to defend the city here..."

"The first time you saw me..."He Yue'er muttered Man Yong's words, and her thoughts couldn't help but go back to that night seven years ago, when she opened the door, the young man outside the door was indeed full of herself.

At that time, I was ashamed and annoyed, and I was indescribably happy...

"Brother Qin, Yong'er, let's go!" He Yue'er hurriedly went downstairs, got into the carriage, and headed to the south of the city.

"Hey, this makes sense for the master? I knew I would have shot it a long time ago! ”

Man Yong said to Qin Xiangqian as if he was invited, and the two jumped straight down from the tall building and followed He Yue'er's carriage away.

When they arrived in the south of the city, the Yulin Army, which was originally guarding the streets in the south of the city, disappeared at this time, but there was a sound of fighting on the head of the city.

"When did the Beiyi army reach the south of the city?" Qin Xiangqian was shocked and angry.

"When? Naturally, it was last night. In the night, on the street leading to the city gate, a man crossed his arms over his chest and looked with interest at the carriage he had stopped.

"What people!" Qin Xiangqian and Man Yong hurriedly blocked in front of the carriage.

The man didn't hide it, and replied generously: "Duan Tong." ”

"So you're Duan Tong? Is it one of the four mastiffs in Beiyi? I heard that the four mastiffs in Beiyi are loyal dogs, wise dogs or something... By the way, what kind of dog are you? ”

"Xiao Yong, don't talk too much, protect your sister." Qin Xiangqian pulled out two spears from behind him, pointed at Duan Tong with both spears, and commanded softly.

Duan Tong ignored Qin Xiangqian's two spears, but stared at the carriage with straight eyes: "Inside the car, it can't be someone from the Zhou family, right?" ”

"What? Is it possible that you and the people of the Zhou family have a grudge? Man Yong hurriedly asked.

He worshipped Yi Xiaodao as his teacher, but he got along with He Yue'er, a ten-year-old teacher, for the longest time, and the two have long been like mother and son, full of tacit understanding.

He Yue'er didn't speak, and Man Yong inquired about it, and only when he knew the situation could he know himself and his opponent.

After all, He Yue'er, who didn't show up, could be anyone.

"Feud... It's not a feud. It's just that I have some resentment against them, when my family was beheaded all over the house, Zhou Xiangming knew that we were wronged, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end. Let that faint king do anything to balance his subordinates! ”

"But it doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with the Zhou family, but this doesn't prevent me from getting revenge. I heard that the ancestors of the Zhou family said that they would kill the Zhou family and then the Zhao family. Now, it seems, it's time! ”

"You blame others for everything, and you are not at fault for yourself? Beiyi's invasion must be indispensable to you! In the carriage, Zhou Ziru's voice sounded.

"Heh... In the end, it is a person from the Zhou family, and his brain is indeed turning fast. But I'm not fueling the fire, I'm going to get my revenge! Naturally, I can't do anything about the little emperor in the palace in the capital alone. So I took refuge in Beiyi, and decades of lying on the salary to try the courage, just to let Beiyi's iron hooves crush this great enlightenment! ”

"Foolish dreams!" The evaluation of "Zhou Ziru" in the carriage.
