Chapter 251: The Imperial Capital Falls

"That's exactly what I mean."

Facing Shen Lie's question, Xiahou Ning Han nodded indifferently: "Now that we already know who the culprit is, Ning Han can't sit idly by and let that demon scourge the people of Saint Tang!" ”

Li Bing said hurriedly when he heard this: "Absolutely not! Guanzhong has been occupied by the Turks, and if you go there, you will break into the tiger's den in Longtan! ”

Shen Lie also said: "Girl, this matter should be the position of my Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division. Before coming here to meet His Royal Highness just now, Shen had already made special arrangements and ordered several capable spies to go to Guanzhong to conduct a secret investigation, believing that they would soon be able to see their eyebrows, and there was really no need to bother the girl to take risks! ”

Master Hui Dian also agreed: "Little niece, the prince and Lord Shen are right, now the west of Tongguan is in the hands of the Turks, and it is dangerous everywhere, even if you want to track down that brother Shuxuan, you can't be so rash and rambling." ”

Li Bing nodded vigorously, his eyes full of concern.

Xiahou Ning Han smiled lightly and said unhurriedly: "Your intentions, Ning Han is very clear. However, I would like to ask Lord Shen, after experiencing the danger of today's council chamber, are you still sure of the skills of the master of the Reverse Scale Division? ”

Hearing this, Shen Lie couldn't help but be speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer Xiahou Ninghan's question. The facts were already clear there, except for Xiahou Ninghan's innate qi that could restrain the poison of those monsters, it was difficult for anyone to resist such a strange and terrifying power, including himself, either.

Xiahou Ninghan didn't wait for Shen Lie to speak, and asked Hui Dian instead: "Master, can you bear to watch the demons run rampant in the world and destroy all living beings?" ”

This sentence also made the demon mad monk speechless. What Xiahou Ninghan said was reasonable, knowing that the soldiers and civilians of the Holy Tang Dynasty were facing the threat of demons and evil spirits, how could Hui Dian, as the authentic Xuanmen, sit idly by?

Li Bing suddenly said urgently: "No! Anyway, it's too dangerous, Hongu...... You are not allowed to go to this palace! ”

Xiahou Ning Han couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Highness, Ning Han is not your subordinate, why is it not allowed?" Unless, you plan to arrange a crime for me to deceive the king and resist the decree, and arrest him and go to jail. ”

Hearing her say this, Li Bing was slightly stunned, and then muttered, "How is this possible? How could this palace be so rude to you? ”

Xiahou Ning looked at the three people in front of him with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to worry about me. The trip may seem dangerous, but it is not as serious as it seems. First of all, the Turkic man named Geshuxuan didn't know about my existence at all, so he couldn't talk about any precautions. Secondly, I seem to be just a weak woman, even if I get to Guanzhong, it is not easy to attract the attention of the enemy, and I am fully capable of self-preservation, this state is relatively safe. Third, Ning Han has practiced innate qi since he was a child, and has a natural suppressive power against toxins, even if he encounters those two monsters today, he can always escape if he can't win. On the other hand, as long as I get a chance, I can easily finish off Brother Shu Xuan! ”

Speaking of this, Xiahou Ninghan paused deliberately, and then said with a smile: "Besides, I also have a wonderful backhand, which is incomparable to anyone in the world." ”

"What's the best backhand?" Li Bing asked curiously, "Xiahou, you can't go to the palace." ”

Xiahou Ninghan replied lightly: "That wonderful backhand is my father." When my father left Xianxia Villa, he not only went to the imperial capital to mourn his deceased uncle, but also went to visit Zhongnan Mountain and practiced the Flying Ascension Immortal Method with Qingzhu Daoist. With the mentality of those two old men, I am afraid that at this time, they are in retreat in the mountains to realize the Tao and refine the golden pill. If I really encounter any difficulties and obstacles, as long as I go to the nearest Zhongnan Mountain, which is also located in the Guanzhong region, I can ask my father and Qingzhu Daoist to help. You say, "Is that a great deal?" ”

Hearing her say this, Li Bing and the others finally understood, and at the same time felt quite relieved.

You must know that the three friends of the cold pine, bamboo and plum, take out one at random, and they are all outstanding characters in the mighty rivers and lakes. Whether it is wisdom and insight, or martial arts cultivation, there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed.

If she moved Xiahou Mei and "Dao Zun" Elder Qingzhu down to Zhongnan Mountain together, let alone Brother Shuxuan, even if Bi Luo, the number one master of the Turks, came to Middle Earth in person, I am afraid that she would have to return with a feather.

Master Huidian clasped his hands together and said, "Good, good, good, if it can really be like this, how dare you be loved." Why don't you do that, little niece, and let the old man accompany you. We can not only take care of each other on the road, but at the same time, the old man can also visit Ling Zun and Qingzhu Dao Chang by the way. ”

Xiahou Ninghan shook his head: "That's not good. Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be left unattended. Whether it is the Turks or the rebels, they all have the intention of hurting His Highness. The opponent's assassination failed today, and we will definitely not give up in the future, and we can't be careless. Since Abbot Huineng asks you to guard here, then the warrior monks of Songshan Monastery must not leave His Highness an inch. Ning Han went to Guanzhong alone, the target was not so obvious, but safer. ”

Shen Lie thought for a moment and agreed, "Miss Xiahou is right. This time, the enemy was scheming and devised a lot of tricks, but he still failed to do such a big deal. So I think they'll come back later. Master, if you can stay here to protect Your Highness, that would be the safest arrangement. ”

The old monk looked at Shen Lie, then at Li Bing who was lying on the couch, and sighed helplessly at Xiahou Ninghan: "Alas, that's okay." Since you all say so, then the old man should obey his orders, Amitabha. ”

Li Bing knew that Xiahou Ninghan had already made up his mind at this time, and according to her temper and character, I was afraid that no one would be able to dissuade her, so she could only sigh secretly in her heart and advise: "Miss Xiahou, this time you have a long way to go to the mountain, you must be careful and cherish yourself, and you must not take risks easily." Looking at this palace, it is best to go to Zhongnan Mountain first, find Ling Zun's seniors, ask him to come out of the old man's house, and then go to Cha Ge Shuxuan and those monsters. ”

"Ning Han knows." Xiahou Ninghan responded with a smile: "Your Highness, I plan to take Taiyuan, pass through Jinzhou Suizhou, cross the Jinhe River from Longmen Town, and go straight to the imperial capital. After the initial investigation of some eyebrows, I immediately went south to Zhongnan Mountain to find my father. ”

In the early morning of the next day, when Li Bing lifted his spirits, beat drums and gathered generals, and held a high-level military meeting of the prince's family, Xiahou Ninghan did not greet anyone, and set off alone with a small burden in the mist and morning light.

In yesterday's fierce battle, after the monster devoured his senses for a short time, he told everyone about his tragic experience, which caused a huge impact on Xiahou Ninghan's inner world.

In the past, although she also had resentment towards the alien races who invaded Middle-earth, it was always only at the level of fighting between countries, and as a saint-Tang people, she naturally hated foreign enemies. However, after witnessing Ge Shuxuan's tragic methods, Xiahou Ninghan's cognition of the ugliness of human nature was completely refreshed.

She could not tolerate this demon running rampant in the world.

Leaving the prince of Youzhou, Xiahou Ninghan first galloped through the starry night with the help of the horse's footpower, all the way through the state and Yuefu, and rushed to Hejin County at the junction of Qinzhou and Jinzhou.

Because in the vast area from Taiyuan Mansion to the imperial capital, there are reckless mountains and Jiuqu Jin River, and the terrain is complex, which is very unfavorable to the action of large corps, especially the cavalry troops are difficult to fully deploy, so since ancient times, starting from Guanzhong to attack the Central Plains, they often choose to take Tongguan, go straight to Luoyi, and then gradually advance from west to east.

Thanks to this, the people of the Sanjin Dynasty were able to temporarily avoid the Turkic troops and avoid the invasion of war.

After seven or eight days of hard work, Xiahou Ninghan successfully arrived in Hejin. She rested in this place for a while, then abandoned her horse and took a boat, crossed the surging Golden River, and finally entered the Guanzhong realm.

What Xiahou Ninghan didn't expect was that at this time, Guanzhong was full of a bleak and sad scene of the end times.

Just ten days ago, the Imperial Capital of the Holy Tang Dynasty completely fell.

Under the command of Chili, the great prince of the Turkic Empire, the 400,000 siege army not only completely occupied the outer city of the imperial capital and the one hundred and eight squares in the city, but also finally broke through the imperial city that had been held for many days and entered the central core of the Holy Tang Imperial Family.

Wang Huan, the commander of the forbidden army's tiger and leopard cavalry, held a giant shield of Changge, and led his subordinates to fight to the death in front of the Taiji Palace. General Wang Huan was covered in blood and killed hundreds of Turkic golden armor soldiers in a row, but he was finally outnumbered and was dismembered by his opponent.

He commanded more than 20,000 tigers and leopards and Jin Wuwei, none of whom were greedy for life and begging, and all of them died heroically.

The forbidden army was destroyed, and the imperial city was lost.

Emperor Li Chengwu categorically refused to escape through the secret passage before the palace gate was knocked open, but went to the Taiji Palace, faced countless enemy soldiers, and committed suicide by poisoning. From beginning to end, the old man was well-dressed and calm, without the slightest look of timidity and fear.

At that time, he was accompanied by the commander of the Qilin Legion, the elder of the Three Dynasties, Xu Lie, and the old man.

In the entire imperial capital city defense battle, 2,000 Xu family soldiers guarded Yanxing Gate, which was the last imperial capital gate to be conquered by the Turks. A tragic battle, all men and women of the Xu family died, and finally lived up to the name of heroes.

Old Man Xu buried his grief in his heart, stood with his sword, and guarded Li Chengwu's body until the fierce Turkic soldiers arrived at the Taiji Palace, and then he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me." As a military general of the Holy Tang Dynasty, Lao Chen really has no reason to make a decision on his own. Even if you die, you have to die on the way to kill the enemy! ”

With that, he struggled to raise the sword in his hand, as if he had changed back to the heroic young general he had been decades ago, and rushed towards the enemy with firm steps, until he was completely engulfed by the oncoming thieves.
