Chapter 168: Re-entering Divine Phoenix City

The ten thousand armies charged, the momentum was so fierce, it was like the mountains and rivers turning upside down, and the monstrous waves overturned.

However, Cao Changqing, who was standing at the head of the city, was extremely indifferent, and there was even a trace of contempt in his eyes.

If others use the more than 200,000 crooked melons and cracked dates in the city against Liyang's army of 300,000, it will naturally be quite difficult to defend the city.

But for Cao Changqing, even if he goes out to fight a battle with a real sword, the victory or defeat is between the two sides, and now he is defending the city, if the other party does not send more soldiers and has stronger means, then the day of breaking the city will be decided by him.

At the beginning of the battle, more than 10,000 archers in the city drew their bows and fired, and the others were divided into several teams, each responsible for the rolling stones, hot oil and many other things to defend the city.

Under the clear division of labor, even a group of rabble shows a spirit of unity.

Before the army of the Three Kings could get closer, they suffered heavy casualties under the rain of arrows, and finally approached and began to build a ladder, which was also frustrated one after another under the wave of rolling stone hot oil.

However, the siege was like this, and although the three kings felt sorry for their soldiers, they still launched attacks with a calm face.

I don't know how many lives I paid, but finally someone climbed the ladder and began to fight head-on.

Wave after wave of rushing killing, but no matter what, they couldn't shake the defense line at the head of the city.

Occasionally, there will be a strong wind that will hit the city, easily overturning the ladder, and making their previous efforts in vain.

The battle lasted a full half day.

In the end, after the three kings left behind tens of thousands of corpses, Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The original intention of the three kings was naturally to hope to fight and return to the fiefdom as soon as possible, but in fact, they also knew in their hearts that it was impossible.

This battle was not so much for the siege of the city, but for the explanation to His Majesty in Tai'an City.

Just to show his determination to attack and take down the Divine Phoenix City.

So, on the second day, the army of the three kings changed from yesterday's bravery, pretended to rush for a while, and then retreated directly.

Cao Changqing also seemed to have a self-evident tacit understanding with the other party, and the counterattack was far less fierce than on the first day.

One is that the arrows and corresponding materials in the city are limited, and the other is trying to delay time.

Just when you were attacking and defending like this, Xu Chuan had quietly come to the vicinity of Divine Phoenix City.

Now that the Divine Phoenix City has been surrounded by Liyang's army, although it is not impossible for him to swagger into the Divine Phoenix City, in order not to disrupt Cao Changqing's arrangement, he still chooses not to make too much noise.

So, after approaching a certain distance, Xu Chuan stepped on his chest and went straight into the sky, and the sword went straight into the Divine Phoenix City.

...

The former Western Chu Palace has now become Jiang Ni's palace.

Although the dilapidated temple has been renovated, there are still some traces of decay in the past.

The palace is located in the most central hall, Jiang Ni is dressed in golden imperial clothes, and there are about 20 courtiers under his command.

In addition to Sun Xiji, the old lady who was the head of the beard, the rest of the ministers were either the patriarchs of the Western Chu relics, or some leaders of the forces who were dissatisfied with the rule of Liyang, and even the lords of the remnants of the Western Shu and Southern Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, they seemed to be respectful, but except for Sun Xiji, who really regarded Jiang Ni as the empress, the others just got together in the name of Princess Jiang Ni Taiping.

Even if Cao Changqing can mobilize them to contribute during the war, they are still independent and have ghosts in their hearts.

At this moment, they were arguing over the arrangements for the next few days to defend the city, and they were red-faced and thick-necked.

Jiang Ni sat on the dragon chair with a cold face, ignoring her ears, only letting them make noise, and there was almost no fluctuation in her heart.

She came here only at the invitation of Cao Changqing to make a name for the restoration of Western Chu.

For these rabble gathered in her name, there is no intention of paying any attention to it.

But in fact, it is also because Cao Changqing is still in the army to deal with affairs, these people dare to compete with each other, if Cao Changqing is here, they still dare not make too many mistakes after all.

Jiang Ni knew that she had no prestige in the eyes of these people, and she didn't care, but she couldn't help but feel a little depressed when she thought that she would have to be this clay sculpture for another year.

Especially Xu Le, who has been with her for many years, is not around, although she is in this familiar Xichu Palace, she is quite lonely in her heart.

At this moment, her expression suddenly moved, and she suddenly looked up, clearly feeling something.

The expression fluctuated violently, there was disbelief, but also there was a strong surprise and excitement.

She couldn't wait to stand up and said loudly: "Today's matter is discussed at this moment, let's disperse!" ”

Her voice is sweet, but she has a terrifying majesty.

The ministers of the DPRK and China looked at each other in amazement, but they were all unclear.

Sun Xiji, who had been squinting and closing his eyes, also opened his eyes suddenly, with a hint of strangeness and surprise in his eyes.

Since Her Royal Highness the Princess set foot in the Divine Phoenix City and ascended to the empress, he had never seen Jiang Ni show such impatient emotions.

Mo Isn't what happened?

Jiang Nicai didn't care what these people thought, she just finished her words by herself, and the next moment, the whole person disappeared like a gust of wind.

One of the people present counted one, and they didn't even notice how she disappeared from under everyone's noses.

Many ministers were shocked, and then realized that their empress was a grandmaster-level master who could fight with Cao Changqing.

They were jealous in their hearts, but they were also a little dissatisfied.

Before the political affairs were discussed, the dignified empress left behind their courtiers, and did not see the demeanor of the Ming monarch at all.

They slandered in their hearts, but they were still quiet in their performance, just thinking about how to gain greater power in the next new dynasty when the Liyang Dynasty was unable to attack.

At the same time, at the head of the Divine Phoenix City, Cao Changqing also frowned, and instantly looked in the direction of the palace.

He felt a strange and powerful aura appear in the palace, and the astonishing sword intent faintly emanating from this aura even made him feel a hint of threat.

With a simple command, he also floated up in an instant, stepping on the void and galloping towards the palace.

...

When Xu Chuan flew to the sky above the palace, he naturally felt the breath of Jiang Ni, but he also sensed the breath of many other people in the place where Jiang Ni was.

In order not to alarm those people, he did not choose to show up directly, but chose to fly down from the back garden of the palace, which looked rather desolate.

He walked quietly in this back garden, looking at everything around him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It's been almost nine years since he last set foot here.

It's really quite a feeling of vicissitudes.

Fang walked for a moment, and then he felt something, and he couldn't help but show a knowing smile on his face.

"This little girl is really anxious, she is all the empress, and she is still so frizzy."

He shook his head slightly, and when he turned around, a cold woman in the Golden Red Emperor's costume flew towards him at an extremely fast speed, and there was no sign of stopping.

She instantly threw herself into Xu Chuan's arms, buried her head in Xu Chuan's chest, and screamed as if she was whimpering and aggrieved: "Teacher! ”

Xu Chuan's expression was soft, stroking the hair behind her, and said softly: "Hey, the teacher is here." ”

At this moment, he only felt that Jiang Ni seemed to be the six or seven-year-old girl nine years ago, not a sixteen-year-old Empress of Western Chu who had the cultivation of the Heavenly Phenomena Realm.

He patted Jiang Ni on the back and said softly: "Okay, why is the dignified Empress of Western Chu still crying in the teacher's arms like a little girl?" ”

Jiang Ni hugged Xu Chuan tightly, as if he would run away as soon as he let go.

"I don't care, in front of the teacher, I will always be the little girl who didn't grow up back then, what the Empress of Western Chu, I'm not rare!"

Xu Chuan sighed and said, "Yes, yes, you are not rare, but some people are afraid that they will kill me at the moment." ”

He stroked the green silk of Jiang Ni with one hand, and on the other hand, he looked up at the Confucian in Tsing Yi who came suddenly not far away, and his face was extremely unsightly at the moment.

Jiang Ni also noticed Cao Changqing's appearance, and his face couldn't help but blush.

She let go of her hand, left Xu Chuan's embrace with some reluctance, turned around, and stood beside Xu Chuan, but she didn't want to leave for a moment.

Seeing this, Cao Changqing's face seemed to be a little darker.

Especially when he saw Xu Chuan's young face as if he was twenty years old, he couldn't help but have a little irrepressible anger in his eyes.

Xu Chuan looked at Cao Changqing's vaguely floating anger, thinking of Jiang Ni's actions, and couldn't help laughing.

Is this guy still a daughter slave?

He looked at Cao Changqing and said with a faint smile: "Your Excellency is Mr. Cao, Jingcheng and Mr. hit it off at first sight, and praised Mr. in the sky and in the ground, now when I see it, it is not a boast, but Mr. is extraordinary, and now he is willing to pay such a sacrifice for the establishment of the country, and he will thank Mr. for his righteousness in advance!" ”

Although Cao Changqing gave up the restoration of the country and planned to support Jiang Ni, he did not have a good impression of Xu Chuan, a guy who abducted Jiang Ni since he was a child and instructed Jiang Ni to run for him for many years.

Especially Fang Cai, even if they are masters and apprentices, such a behavior is inevitably too intimate.

What's more, after all, Jiang Ni has only been under his knees for three years, and now that several years have passed, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this guy drank Jiang Ni, and he is still so attached to him.

Even he, the former uncle of chess, is far inferior.

Even because of Xu Chuan, he had a big battle with Jiang Ni under this Divine Phoenix City a year ago.

Even if Xu Chuan praised him again and again at the moment, Xu Chuan's image in his heart was extremely bad, and the nine horses couldn't pull it back.

He said with a cold face: "Everything I do is for my majesty, not for your Excellency, and I hope that your Excellency will not be merciful, and I will not accept your thanks." ”

Xu Chuan smiled and did not speak.

You are for Jiang Ni, but Jiang Ni is my apprentice, rounding up, that is, you gave up the great cause of recovering the country for me, as for what you think, you are happy.

The faint thoughts turned around, making the smile on his face even brighter, but seeing this scene, Cao Changqing's face couldn't help but darken a little.

The third in the world, the future Confucian saint, is like a black charcoal head at this moment, and he is suppressed with amazing air pressure up and down.

The next moment, he snorted coldly and said, "It's better to meet than to be famous, I want to see why you can let my majesty follow, and why can you let Brother Jingcheng work for you!" ”

When the words fell, he flicked his robe, stretched out his palm, and fell to Xu Chuan in an instant.

Seeing that Cao Changqing was going to attack Xu Chuan, Jiang Ni was willing to do it, and he was full of sword intent, and he was about to use his sword to cut his uncle in an instant.

But the next moment, her little hand was pressed by Xu Chuan, and Xu Chuan smiled at her and said, "Look at your teacher and mine." ”

Jiang Ni's little face was slightly red, and he said in his heart, after a few years, the teacher still looks so good when he smiles.

Xu Chuan didn't pay attention to this, and when he saw that Cao Changqing wanted to compete with him, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

If you use the power of heaven and earth to attack, you may be able to make him pay attention to it, but if you turn from Confucianism to domineering, even if the Celestial Phenomena Realm is monopolized by you, how can you compare to the martial artists of the Celestial Phenomena Realm?

What's more, Xu Chuan is still in the Donkey Kong realm, and under the blessing of his physique, at this moment, he and Wang Xianzhi can also shake a few tricks, how can they be afraid of a Confucian in the Heavenly Phenomena Realm?

He didn't draw his sword, but also poked out with a palm and went up.

Rumble!

The palms met, and in an instant, a hurricane swept across, and countless fallen dead leaves swept in all directions.

The lake not far away on the side exploded with a bang.

Boom Boom!

Next, the two exchanged dozens of moves in a row.

The whole back garden is like being swept by a typhoon, the lake is constantly rippling, not to mention, even the rockery has collapsed directly.

Finally, another palm intersected, and each other flew back instantly.

Cao Changqing gasped slightly, snorted, and only calmed down the restlessness in his body after a while.

Xu Chuan was still calm, and his breathing did not speed up a minute.

Jiang Ni hurriedly ran over and pulled Xu Chuan's arm to watch.

"Teacher, are you okay, are you hurt?"

Xu Chuan let her observe over and over again, and smiled helplessly and dotingly: "I'm fine." ”

He and Cao Changqing fought each other, neither of them used their strongest means, it seemed that the sky was falling apart, but in fact, it was just an amazing momentum, and he didn't move the real character at all, just with this kind of combat strength, even his physique's defense couldn't be broken, what could it do?

Not far away, Cao Changqing's slow breathing became three points shorter, and his face darkened a little.

What's the matter with that kid's Vajra body? But at this moment, his internal organs were shaken by the force of the backshock.

The female university is not staying.

He snorted coldly, feeling that he was really an eyesore here, he waved his sleeves, didn't even bother to speak, turned around and left, not wanting to stay for a moment.

Cao Changqing left, and Jiang Ni and Xu Chuan became more and more natural.

Jiang Ni is no longer the cold-faced Empress of Western Chu in the past at this moment, happily pulling Xu Chuan around the Western Chu Palace, and at the same time telling everything that has happened in the past few years.

Although many of them have been written through letters, they are naturally not as detailed as she herself said.

With Jiang Ni's narration, Xu Chuan also had a clearer understanding of the forces under his command at the moment.

The address was modified for various reasons
