Xiao Chen didn't speak yet, but Wu Liang on the side choked and said: "Ye Zhichu is here alone, it is easy to take him down, but Ye Zhichu is just a deputy marshal in the final analysis, and the main Li Song is still in Yangnan City at this time, not to mention that there is a more thoughtful Empress of Qianguo behind Li Song." ”

"Doing something to Ye Zhichu will only give Qianguo more reason to attack my Yong'an."

Facing Wu Liang's rebuttal, Zhuang Shu suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face, and explained: "It's not that you want to kill Ye Zhichu, I think you are worrying about the sky." ”

Faced with the quarrel that was about to break out between the two, Xiao Chen raised his hand to signal the two to shut up, and then said to himself: "Ye Zhichu dared to come, which proves that he is prepared, and it is not wise to attack him at this time." ”

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Wu Liang showed a victorious posture and glanced at Zhuang Shu mockingly. Zhuang Shu let out a long sigh and slowly lowered his head.

Outside the castle tower, it rained so hard that I could barely see the scene in the distance.

Xiao Chen turned his head and glanced at Wu Liang: "What about Mr. Ji Wushuang?" ”

Wu Liang shook his head: "Mr. Ji is in the palace, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of interfering in this matter." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, not surprised by this, after all, Ji Wushuang was not optimistic about his choice this time, thinking that he was killing himself. It makes sense that he didn't come.

"Is there any news from Li Luo, the king of Huainan?" Xiao Chen continued to ask, as Xiao Chen's ally, as early as a few days ago, Xiao Chen handed Li Luo a letter asking for help.

Wu Liang pondered for a moment and said: "According to the report of the pioneer Kuaima, the King of Huainan dispatched his blood guards and iron-blooded battalions as soon as he received the news, and galloped to help us Yong'an in the starry night, but we still don't know when the King of Huainan will be able to arrive in Yong'an." ”

Xiao Chen looked into the distance and did not speak, his eyes were a little complicated.

In the midst of the rainstorm, a fast horse suddenly came into view.

Immediately, one person cut through the torrential rain like a sharp arrow and went straight to the gate of Yong'an.

When I got closer, I realized that the man was wearing silver armor and a long sword at his waist, and even in the torrential rain, he could still see his eyes burning like fire.

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, Ye Zhichu was here after all.

The fast horse galloped all the way and soon came to the bottom of the Yong'an City Tower.

On horseback, Ye Zhichu grabbed the reins, looked up at Xiao Chen on the top of the city tower and said, "Lord Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xiao Chen chuckled: "Long time no see, Lord Taishou." ”

"No......" shook his head: "I should call you Marshal now." Xiao Chen smiled naturally, as if he was talking to an old friend.

Ye Zhichu was not shocked: "I don't know if the prince still remembers what I said at the beginning?" ”

Xiao Chen pretended to be contemplative and said, "Marshal, do you have to eat my Yong'an meal?" ”

Ye Zhichu said with a smile: "Being a man has to come and go, today, I am looking for the prince to collect debts." ”

Xiao Chen continued to laugh, but did not speak.

Facing Xiao Chen's gaze, Ye Zhichu looked at the closed city gate in front of him and said, "The rain is so heavy, the prince doesn't plan to invite me into the city to sit?" ”

Xiao Chen said: "Then I'll go out of the city to see the marshal." ”

Hearing that Xiao Chen was going out of the city, Wu Liang on the side hurriedly admonished: "The prince can't, once you go out of the city, it will be dangerous."

Xiao Chen glanced at Wu Liang: "He Ye Zhichu dared to come to Yong'an alone, is it difficult for me Xiao Chen to dare to go out of the city to see him?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Chen seemed to be firm in his thoughts, Wu Liang was still not at ease, but after all, he still held back the words in his heart.

The city gate rumbled open, and Xiao Chen rode out of the city on a big horse.

At the gate of Yong'an City, the two riders met in the rainstorm.

The raindrops of beans fell on the armor of Xiao Chen and the others, and then flowed down the armor, and the two looked at each other without saying a word.

Suddenly, Ye Zhichu smiled dumbly and said, "It seems that the prince insists on not letting me in?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "Didn't I come out?" ”

The smile on his face gradually subsided, and Ye Zhichu said with a slightly cold face: "Since the prince doesn't want to return my meal, I won't go into it for the time being, but I am ordered by His Majesty to enter the Wei State to help General Bai Qi of your country quell the rebel army, and I hope that the prince will give me a convenience and let the army pass through Yong'an City." ”

Xiao Chen shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I didn't receive the imperial court's will to let your country's soldiers and horses enter the city, otherwise, I would have opened the city gate and welcomed the marshal into the city." ”

Ye Zhichu's eyes narrowed: "The prince really doesn't open the city gate?" ”

Xiao Chen's face was calm and indifferent: "Can't!" ”

Ye Zhichu shook his head and said, "The prince is really obsessed, do you know what kind of disaster your move will bring to Yong'an?" ”

Xiao Chen glanced at the direction of Yong'an and said: "I don't know what the future holds, but I understand one thing, if my move goes against the will of the Yong'an army and the people, then the people will definitely unite to refute me, but now you have also seen that Yong'an is united, and it is enough to see that not letting you enter the city is what everyone wants." ”

"I, Xiao Chen, am a gentleman, and I don't know what is right or wrong, but everyone thinks it's right, I think I should stick to it."

Ye Zhichu on horseback was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Xiao Chen asked, "What is the marshal laughing at?" ”

Ye Zhichu snorted lightly: "I'm laughing, is it difficult for the prince to really think that with your own strength Yong'an, you can stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of my Qianguo?" ”

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes: "I think my father has stopped the invasion of foreign enemies countless times, but today Xiao Chen is not talented, but he also wants to try to recreate the glory of my father back then." ”

Ye Zhichu said coldly: "You will regret it." ”

Xiao Chen spread his hands: "I regret it or not, I don't know until I do it." However, the marshal's move is probably far away from your original intention of the Empress of Qianguo to send troops to help General Bai Qi, right? ”

Ye Zhichu narrowed his eyes and said: "The prince actually understands better than anyone else in his heart, I'm afraid that if General Bai Qi knows about the prince's actions today, not only will he not condemn me Ye Zhichu, but I am afraid that he will send troops to help me." ”

Xiao Chen smiled, and the rain flowed down his neck and into his chest: "It's a pity that now General Bai Qi is too busy to take care of himself." ”

Ye Zhichu shook his head: "That's it, since we have talked about it today, it seems that we can only meet each other with swords." It's just that before I leave, I will advise the prince again, with swords and soldiers, Yong'an is destined to be peaceful, and the prince must think about it. ”

Xiao Chen pointed to the white wall in the distance and said, "See, that's my attitude." ”

Looking in the direction of Xiao Chen's finger, above the white wall, there were bursts of black armor and spears.

Ye Zhichu nodded and chuckled: "Yongan Black Armor is indeed extraordinary. Coincidentally, I also wanted to see the strength of Yongan Black Armor for a long time. ”

Patting the horse's back, Ye Zhichu rode away, leaving only a faint voice:

"Tonight, I'll wait for the prince's final answer, otherwise, don't blame me for razing Yong'an."

……

As soon as Xiao Chen came back, Wu Liang immediately leaned over and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, what should we do now?" ”

Ye Zhichu's words before, Wu Liang and the others heard it clearly, if it was really a hundred thousand troops to attack Yong'an, Yong'an would definitely not last one night.

Xiao Chen frowned and pondered, but did not speak.

Yipan Zhuang Shu suggested: "Lord Wang, since you didn't choose to do anything to Ye Zhichu before, otherwise let's let them go, after all, the will of the empress of the Qianguo Kingdom is known to the whole world, and it is to help Bai Qi, if they are let into the city at that time, they really do something to us Yong'an, then the empress of the Wei State will undoubtedly lose her trust in the world." ”

"For an emperor, Chrysostom is the foundation of his prestige, so they will definitely not do anything to us Yong'an. As for the Wei State and Kyoto, the prince, to put it mildly, the current Wei State has long been a virtual reality, and the prince is now the emperor of Yong'an, as long as Yong'an is unhindered, it doesn't matter how he Wei is, how is Yong'an? ”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. I can indeed let them into the city, but it is bound to bring endless disasters to us in the future, so this battle is imperative. ”

"But the prince!" Zhuang Shu said with a worried face: "Outside this Yong'an City, there are already hundreds of thousands of troops waiting for them, can we really stop them?" ”

Xiao Chen squeezed out a smile and said, "Try it, what if it works?" ”

……

It was raining heavily, Xiao Chen walked through the streets of Yong'an, walking step by step in the direction of the palace.

On the street, the people who learned of the invasion of the Qianguo Kingdom closed their doors and arrived at their homes, so they could only secretly look at Xiao Chen walking alone on the street through the gap in the window.

Although they were afraid, when they looked at Xiao Chen, they lost their previous disdain and ridicule, and unexpectedly had a touch of admiration.

It's not worth mentioning that an even opponent dares to make a move, but if you dare to show your sword knowing that you are invincible, it is enough to make people awe-inspired.

Xiao Chen held the Yangchen Sword and felt the sound of torrential rain dripping from his armor, which made him feel much calmer in his heart.

Although the battle was inevitable, when he thought of bloodshed, dead people, and even the destruction of the entire Yong'an, Xiao Chen's heart said that it was impossible not to panic.

He tried his best to stay calm, but his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and the arm holding Yangchen's sword was trembling slightly.

Walking to Yihong Building, Xiao Chen paused, and the Yihong Building, which was very lively in the past, also chose to close its doors today.

Xiao Chen still remembers that when he first arrived in Yong'an, after snatching Du Yingying, he turned his head and plunged into Yihong Mansion.

The houses of Yihong Mansion are closed, and there is no sound in the building, only the sound of torrential rain dripping on the roof street, empty and lonely.

But when I looked up, I was surprised to find that there was a window on the top floor.

Xiao Chen suddenly smiled dumbly, the girl who could only tremble in front of the bandits can only tell herself in this way now, she is still by her side, right?

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the empty and lonely street, Xiao Chen turned his head to look, and saw a woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, wearing a strong suit, with a long sword at her waist, riding a horse.

The eyes of the woman on horseback and Xiao Chen looked at each other, and both of them were a little stunned at this moment.

One may not have expected her to come, and the other was an unexpected discovery that Xiao Chen, who was wearing armor, did have a temperament that could not be described in words.

……
