Chapter 330 - King's Landing
Under the current circumstances, if there is no external intervention, the crisis in Chang'an can only be solved by relying on those in the city.
But the uncomfortable thing is that although there are a lot of people in the city, they are not very optimistic about being able to participate in the battle, after all, who would have thought that this kind of hinterland would be suddenly attacked?
Powerful generals are all outside all the year round, and while defending against foreign enemies, it is also a kind of defense and balance. It's just that the sudden deterioration of the situation has exposed the shortcomings of Chang'an City, that is, although the defense level is high, the force is insufficient!
This may sound contradictory at first glance, but it's actually easy to understand. Because of the existence of a large defensive array, it is difficult for the top combat power to form an effective blow to Chang'an City, but this cannot defend against the following combat power.
To put it bluntly, the masters at the boss level can prevent it, but the people below can't prevent it. If you carry out indiscriminate strikes, then this formation is too smart!
Moreover, the energy of the Great Array is limited, if it is squandered like this, soon this Great Array will no longer be a threat, and at that time, it will be a real catastrophe!
Therefore, once Xuantian Sect starts to attack, the Tang State side will inevitably pay an extremely painful price.
The other party is not a straggler on the rivers and lakes, and with the organizational strength of Xuantian Sect, it is difficult to find any loopholes and flaws in the encirclement.
And, even if there is a gap, they can't escape! This is the capital of the Tang Kingdom, and under their feet is the land of the Tang Kingdom, in their home field, how can there be any reason to let the enemy rage!
But having said that, the current combat power of Chang'an City is not optimistic, and this is what makes Tang Tianzi worried.
Li Junlin retreated left and right at this time, and sat on a chair alone, holding his forehead with his hands, in a contemplative state.
This place is located in the deep palace, and the security force is extremely strong, even if the ancestor of the Xuantian Sect personally attacked, it would be difficult to attack it.
However, Tang Tianzi's brows furrowed, and the word "Chuan" was clearly formed between his eyebrows, revealing a lot of anxiety in his heart.
This can't be seen on weekdays, because he is the Son of Heaven and the backbone of the Tang Kingdom, and he should be calm and composed, majestic and wise at all times, and it is impossible to have any gaffes.
But he is a man, not a god! How can everything be perfect?
It's just that there are too many people staring at his position! Those people have different considerations in their hearts, but without exception, they will all be affected by his actions.
It can be said that Tang Tianzi is the face of the entire Tang Kingdom, and what he shows is, to a certain extent, what the Tang Kingdom shows.
So, even if it's difficult, even impossible, he has to show an almost perfect image of an emperor!
But in fact, sometimes he is also tired. This tiredness is not only physical, but also psychological!
Everyone in the world says that it is good to be an emperor, but who can know the suffering of the emperor? Sometimes, he also hopes that he was not born in this imperial family, and it may be happier to be an ordinary person.
But since he has taken on this responsibility, then he can only continue to bear it, he can't fall, and Tang Guo can't do it!
At this moment, a graceful figure walked into the room, still holding a tray in his hand, and a small bowl covered in it.
When Tang Tianzi wanted to be alone, there would be no one around him, even if he was close to him, he would be driven far away, and he was not allowed to approach easily.
And this woman was able to walk in, which was enough to see that her identity was not ordinary, or rather, in the eyes of Tang Tianzi!
The woman slowly walked closer, then knelt on the ground and said softly, "Your Majesty! ”
Tang Tianzi looked at her condescendingly, and after a while, he got up and helped, and said, "Yong'er, why are you here?" ”
The person known as "Yong'er" took advantage of the situation, with a hint of worry in his words, and said angrily: "Your Majesty is worried alone, why don't you ask your concubines to come to accompany you?" Although the concubine does not have the ability to solve problems for His Majesty, it is better to share His Majesty's worries as an observer than for you to secretly hurt yourself! ”
This is a beautiful woman, with a flawless face, a graceful figure, and a swaying posture, which can tug at a man's heartstrings.
Of course, the most important thing is that her pretty face is pure, but there is an indescribable enchantment and charm between her gestures, and this contradictory collection is an irresistible temptation for any man!
All in all, this woman is very unique, as long as the aesthetic is not too alternative, the man will be fascinated by her after seeing her, and will even want to possess her desperately!
Tang Tianzi is also a human being, and he is a normal man! Everyone has a love for beauty, and there is no reason why he should not stay by his side for such a woman.
Of course, appearance is one thing, the key is that this woman understands his mind very well and can always relieve herself when she is worried.
Compared with other concubines who had to marry into the palace because of various political interests and the balance of the court, this woman who was named "Concubine Li" by him did not need him to be too wary.
She has no background, no fascination with power, and no henchmen of her own in the court, but her heart is on Li Junlin alone.
For such a woman, not to mention that Tang Tianzi can't refuse, I'm afraid any man can't refuse!
took the bowl handed over by Concubine Li, lifted the lid and looked, Tang Tianzi said, "Yong'er, this is what you cooked?" ”
Concubine Li smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty, this is the 'white fungus lotus seed soup' specially cooked for you by the concubine, I heard that it can calm your nerves and relieve fatigue, try it quickly." ”
Tang Tianzi looked at her strangely and whispered, "When did you learn to do this?" ”
He knew that the woman in front of him was deeply favored by him, and she didn't do these things at all on weekdays. If singing and dancing are okay, cooking and cooking, it is really difficult!
Concubine Li looked at Tang Tianzi's hesitant appearance, gently hugged his arm, looked expectant, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, can you taste it!" ”
Tang Tianzi said helplessly: "Okay, good! With that, he took the spoon and began to stir it, then tasted it, and then looked strange.
He asked, "Yong'er, how much sugar did you put in here?" ”
Concubine Li said suspiciously: "Two spoonfuls!" After saying that, she also drew it with her hand, and it looked like the spoon was almost the size of her fist.
Tang Tianzi was dumbfounded when he heard this, he only tasted one bite just now, and he found that the white fungus was hard, the lotus seeds were sandwiched, and the most important thing was that there was too much sugar in this soup, and it was like a person who was going to die alive!
O iniquity!
Who asked her to cook? The people in the kitchen don't care!
But he didn't want to think about it, with Concubine Li's current status and his favor, as long as it wasn't too out of line, there were actually no restrictions in this palace!
After all, Concubine Li is the master, and if she gives 10,000 guts to the people in the imperial kitchen, they don't dare to point fingers!
Besides, people just want to cook a meal, what's wrong with her? Perhaps, it was a little bit unpalatable, but it didn't matter, they couldn't eat it anyway.
If Tang Tianzi knew what they thought, he would definitely vomit blood!
"Bastard! You can't eat it, but it's me who suffers! At this moment, Tang Tianzi was depressed in his heart, but the worries just now were dispelled a lot.
He put down the bowl, then rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Yong'er, come here, pinch my shoulders for me." ”
Concubine Li walked over as she said, and then stretched out a pair of plain hands and began to pinch Tang Tianzi's shoulders, her little hands were as soft as bones, and Tang Tianzi felt that the fatigue on her body was relieved a lot.
When he was relaxing, Concubine Li's voice came from behind him: "Your Majesty, the soup is almost cold, why don't you drink it first, and the concubine will help you continue to pinch it later." ”
The corners of Tang Tianzi's mouth twitched when he heard this, his body suddenly tensed, and then said: "It's okay, Yong'er, you pinch it first, and I will drink the soup later, and I will drink it later!" ”
This soup boiled by Yong'er is not poison, but Tang Tianzi now feels that it is even more fierce than poison!
If nothing else, he doesn't want to touch the bowl of things called "soup" anymore, and even he has an idea: "I must not let Yong'er cook in the future, it's terrible!" ”
Although Concubine Li behind her was a little puzzled, she continued to pinch Tang Tianzi's shoulders according to her words, and said softly at the same time: "Your Majesty, you have been tired recently, and the soup made by the concubine must be drunk!" Well, not a drop left! ”
Tang Tianzi said "good", but in fact, he thought that he would reward all this thing to his personal eunuch later. The poor guy doesn't know what kind of taste torture he will face later, alas~~
Suddenly, Tang Tianzi, who was enjoying Concubine Li's squeeze of her shoulders, suddenly opened her slightly closed eyes, and then stared into the distance.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Concubine Li behind her.
"Yong'er, you go back to the palace first!" Tang Tianzi said in a deep voice.
"Then Your Majesty, be careful, the concubine retires!" After saying that, Concubine Li retreated.
She won't argue, she won't refute, she won't even ask for reasons, she won't interfere when Tang Tianzi wants to do the right thing.
Coquettish or something, you have to find the right time and grasp the scale, and Concubine Li has done a good job of this.
Everyone's way of living is different, at least she thinks that it is good to be a green vine attached to a big tree and enjoy the happiness of a little woman!
"Someone!" Tang Tianzi shouted, and in an instant, a close attendant and the Praetorian Guard arrived.
"What's going on?" Tang Tianzi asked.
All the people who came fell to their knees, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, just a moment ago, Xuantian Sect launched an attack on us!" ”
Tang Tianzi's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he thought, "This group of guys has finally done it!" I must have been preparing for something before, but now that I am ready, I can't wait! ”
"Hmph, it's really muddy when I Tang Guo! If you want to take away the things of my Tang Kingdom, you will be ready to pay the price, I want to see if your Xuantian Sect can really afford it! ”
Then, with a wave of Tang Tianzi's big hand, the emperor's aura emanated, and his majestic voice resounded: "Chuan Zhen's order, except for the necessary guard forces, the rest of the soldiers quickly support the city gates, and do not let the enemy enter a step!"
"Everyone, go with me!"
