The skeleton demon people saw that Xuan Ming actually rescued Ning Lu, and immediately hugged over, Xuan Ming used his sword to protect his body, facing the skeleton demon of nearly 100 people, he was also very nervous, he knew that he couldn't have anything, and Ning Lu couldn't have anything, just when he hesitated and didn't know what to do, he saw hundreds of white birds flying towards this place in the high sky in the city, Xuan Ming looked over, but saw that the person who came was the hundreds of people of the Shenlu clan brought by Ning Lu, they all held white swords and galloped towards the skeleton demon, Xuan Ming saw them, His heart calmed down, and he was so busy saying to the clansmen of the gods and deer clans: "I'll leave it to you here, the Holy Maiden of Ninglu is injured, and I want to take her back to heal." ”

The daughter of the Divine Deer Clan at the head arched her hand and replied: "Lord, please go back, leave it to us here." ”

Xuan Ming nodded, and escorted Ning Lu back to the city wall, she was about to take Ning Lu back to the city court for treatment, but Ning Lu endured the sharp pain in her shoulder, and said to Xuan Ming: "I... I'm fine, Brother Xuanming, you don't pay attention to me... War matters. ”

"You are injured like this, how can this master abandon you, I will let the soldiers escort you back to the city." Xuan Ming was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Ning Lu still shook her head resolutely, she covered the injury on her left shoulder with her right hand, her face was miserable, even her lips were pale, she was short of breath, but she still gritted her teeth and endured: "No need, you are the Lord, you must stay here, so that the morale will not weaken, otherwise tonight's battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support the past, so, don't take care of me anymore, count my plea, okay?" ”

Although Xuan Ming couldn't bear it, but Ning Lu had already said this, how could he refuse, as the master, he also had his own responsibility and dignity, he nodded, and only said: "You must hold on, this battle will never be lost." ”

He put the Ning Deer next to the city wall, then pulled out the Qinghuang Sword, and slashed at the enemies who were besieging the city, he fought hard, and shouted while killing the enemy, and only said: "Soldiers, this master believes that you are all the best soldiers and the most heroic soldiers in Chiyan City, so fight hard, we will not be defeated by the rebels." ”

Hearing the words of the Lord, the soldiers who had been afraid had more encouragement in their hearts, and they shouted loudly, and they rose bravely again, and the arrows tightened their bows, and the stone-throwing soldiers smashed the enemy troops who climbed the ladder and climbed the city below, and the fighting soldiers fought the enemy army more fiercely.

The war lasted for nearly three hours before it stopped again, although it did not annihilate the enemy, but it also forced the enemy to retreat again, and the city was once again saved from the slaughter of the city, but after this battle, the soldiers injured nearly 10,000 people, and although those skeleton demons also destroyed a lot, but the women of the Shenlu clan also suffered a lot of damage. After the temporary truce, Xuan Ming ordered the staff to let the healer heal the wounded soldiers, and he returned to the city court with the Ning Lu who had been semi-unconscious, and after arriving at the city court, he took the Ning Lu back to the dormitory and passed the imperial doctor to treat her, but the palace medicinal materials were scarce, and the imperial doctor could only use some medicinal materials to drive away the evil qi in the body of the condensing deer, but these medicinal materials were useless against the evil qi of the skeleton demon, and the complexion of the condensing deer was getting worse and worse, and it was becoming more and more lifeless, and her snow-white skin became black because of the erosion of the evil qi, The cold sweat on her forehead kept oozing, making her look extremely weak.

But Xuan Ming is powerless, he does not have the power to purify the evil qi, so he has become helpless, the imperial doctor saw that he could not get rid of the evil qi in the body of the Ning Lu Holy Maiden, he felt very frightened, and couldn't help begging Xuan Ming for mercy, although Xuan Ming also wanted to lose his temper with the imperial doctor, but he knew that it was useless to do so, he repelled the imperial doctor out, and then walked to the edge of the bed in despair, looking at the gradually depressed Ning Lu, he felt that he was about to die, and he was so distressed that he couldn't speak, he held Ning Lu's hand, and said with tears: " It's all my fault, I didn't have a good life to protect you, let you get hurt, let you suffer with me, I really deserve to die, I really want to kill myself, and I hate why I know you, if I didn't know you, and you didn't know me, then you wouldn't have been hurt for me, suffered for me, and you wouldn't have almost lost your life for me a few times, I really regret it, I really hate. ”

Looking at the dying Ning Lu, Xuan Ming's heart had never been painful, maybe at this moment, he felt that when a person he cared about was in danger of leaving him, he felt pain and sadness, and only then did he begin to value the emotions he had. He held Ning Lu's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that once he let go, he would not be able to feel her temperature.

And Ning Lu in her sleep heard Xuan Ming's whispering, but her heart was also extremely painful, she tried hard to open her eyes, wanted to comfort Xuan Ming in pain, but her body was weak and numb, but she couldn't move, she could only listen to Xuan Ming's words quietly.

However, because of Ning Lu's surprising will to survive, the spiritual power in her body began to recover, and the power of spiritual purification began to purify the evil qi in her body. She raised her weak hand, touched Xuan Ming's hand that was holding her, and whispered, "You know what? When I heard this, I felt happier in my life, even if my life has come to this point, I feel that I have no regrets, Brother Xuanming, I am really happy, really. ”

Xuan Ming showed a bitter smile, he put Ning Lu's hand on his face, his heart was both happy and worried, although it was only for such an instant, Xuan Ming already understood that in his heart, Ning Lu was indeed so important, he had thought that if he lost her in this battle, then he would definitely not want to live, and after the war was over, he would want to abdicate and return to the place where he first knew Ning Lu. This is also the best way he can go, and it is also the most fundamental response from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine, and we'll be able to survive this battle." Xuan Ming hoped to give Ning Lu some encouragement so that she could cheer up.

Ning Lu smiled indifferently, and only said: "Brother Xuanming, you don't have to worry, I will be fine, the spiritual power in my body will purify the evil qi, I just need to heal for a while, but Brother Xuanming, it is important to go out to the court to comfort the sergeant, don't pay attention to me, I will be fine." ”

"How can I rest assured that you look like this?" Xuan Ming said that he didn't want to leave.

Ning Lu propped himself up from the bed, and only said: "Now that the enemy is in front, the sergeants are all tired, if you are not there, the morale of the sergeants will definitely be reduced, and the rebels of Heimu County do not know when they will attack again, if we can't support the next attack, I'm afraid Chiyan City will be in danger." ”

Xuan Ming suddenly felt that Ning Lu had really changed a lot, in the past, she never thought about the overall situation, she only thought about how to be with herself, and her body and mind were tied to him alone, and now she has learned how to think about the overall situation, it seems that because of Jielan, he has really changed a lot, at this point, Xuan Ming is a little ashamed, in the past, Xuan Ming was all about Chiyan City, but now, he is in love with his children's private affairs.

He looked ashamed, and was so busy that he stood up, and said, "Then you can rest for a long time, and when the war is stable, I will come back to accompany you." ”

Ning Lu nodded, and let Xuan Ming out of the dormitory, she saw that Xuan Ming's figure was not in the night, and she felt very relieved in her heart, at this moment she thought of Jielan's words, but really understood the meaning, she smiled slightly, her heart was a little sad and calmed down, she only hoped that the battle situation in Chiyan City could be stabilized, and she also hoped that Wang Cheng could finally calm down this civil strife.

...............

After arriving at dawn, when the soldiers of Chiyan City had not yet recovered their breath, they saw that Chiyan City had been surrounded by enemy troops. Xuan Ming looked at these enemy troops and saw that they seemed to vow to take Chiyan City before he stopped, which also made him very sad, because from the beginning of the battle to the present, the enemy army has attacked four times, and the strength of the city court has been weakened by nearly three-quarters, while the enemy army is constantly increasing foreign aid, and if this continues, Chiyan City is bound to embark on the road of ruin.

And just when Chiyan City was in a desperate situation, it finally waited for 10,000 reinforcements sent by Qing Zhou City, when the reinforcements arrived, the soldiers on the city wall saw the reinforcements, they were overjoyed, and when the reinforcements repelled the enemy troops besieging the city, Xuan Ming was busy welcoming the reinforcements into the city, and he was also busy meeting the generals of Qing Zhou City to enter the city.

Coming to Qing Zhou City did not plan to send troops to rescue, but Yu Ning urgently convened several ministers of the DPRK and China in the middle of the night to come to the discussion, Yu Ning thought that if Chiyan City was not protected, then Qing Zhou City would also be swallowed by Heimu County, and in the end, Qing Zhou City would not be protected, and the way to protect the city was to help Chiyan City protect the city, as long as Chiyan City was fine, then Qing Zhou City would not be invaded by war.

And those ministers of the court and the central government actually understand this truth, but they are worried that if the enemy army suddenly changes direction to attack Qing Zhou City, then Qing Zhou City may not be able to parry, so in the end, they still responded to the order of the city lord of Yu Ning, and asked Yinyi to send 10,000 soldiers to rescue Chiyan City, but fortunately, the rescuers arrived in time to force the besieging soldiers to retreat, otherwise, Chiyan City will experience another big battle, I am afraid it will be powerless.

After General Yinyi entered Chiyan City, he met with Xuanming, and Xuanming summoned the generals of the court and the central government to discuss the military situation together, Yinyi and several people discussed the current situation, and felt that although their reinforcements had just arrived, they had defeated the enemy's spirit, but it would not be long before the enemy army would rise up again, and at that time, even if it was plus these 10,000 reinforcements, it would be difficult to resist the enemy's 50,000 army.

Several soldiers gathered around the map to discuss the military situation, and Yinyi pointed to Zirui County and said: "When I came to Chiyan City, I happened to receive a message from Wang Cheng, saying that Zirui County had begun to rebel together with Heimu County, Zirui County was approaching and began to attack Wang Cheng directly, however, Wang Cheng had ordered Jin Zhaocheng to meet the attack of Zirui County, and Wang Cheng also sent 20,000 soldiers to fight Zirui County, hoping to quell the rebellion in the north as soon as possible, otherwise if it continued for so long, the Blood Ying Kingdom would inevitably fall into overall chaos." ”
