"Fourth master, it's not good, the south gate is fighting!"

Xiao Rongcheng was in a hurry, pulled the queen, and ordered someone to prepare the horse: "Go to the south gate!"

Xiao Rongcheng rushed to the end of the day, but found that the south gate was calm, and more than a dozen soldiers were leisurely cleaning the battlefield, as if they were deliberately provoking him. Xiao Rongcheng said angrily: "Release the arrow!

A group of crossbow arrows whizzed out, and the soldiers under the city walls held shields, looking leisurely with umbrellas on a rainy day. Xiao Rongcheng was half angry and shouted, "Get out of the city!

As soon as the south gate opened, Xiao Rongcheng felt that this situation was wrong, the earth was rumbling, and it was obvious that a large number of military horses were rushing towards the south gate.

"Close the door!" Xiao Rongcheng shouted.

The south gate creaked shut, leaving only a few soldiers who did not have time to return to the city, and were cut down by the leading cavalry. Xiao Rongcheng pulled the queen and put the knife on her neck, and the other party retreated just right.

Such a drama was staged once at the South Gate, and once again at the North Gate and once at the West Gate. Xiao Rongcheng straddled a horse in one day and ran all over the east, west, north and south, grinding his hips into blisters the size of his nails.

Tossed until nightfall, it seemed that even the Donglin Army did not have the strength to continue making trouble. Smoke rose from the barracks outside the city, and the smell of stewed meat and white steamed buns filled the air. When we were fighting, the most we could do was iron pot stew and wotou. Xiao Rongcheng sighed for a while, sat on the ground, pointed at the queen, and ordered: "Go, find a spare room and lock her up, don't let her run away!"

Xiao Rongcheng leaned against the city wall and dozed off.

The smell of fishy sweet blood made people's stomachs churn, but Xiao Rongcheng slept quite soundly this night. He was really tired from running around all day.

Since I heard that the sixth child ran away, Xiao Rongcheng has not slept such a long time in a peaceful sleep, in the dream, Yelu Nuer gave birth to a big fat boy for him, and Que Er also added a girl to him. In the dream, he vaguely felt that someone was pushing him, Xiao Rongcheng opened his eyes and found that he was still sitting on the miserable city wall.

The night wind was blowing, and the two men were like a black wall, obscuring the remaining moonlight.

"Lord, no, the queen doesn't know when she ran away!"

Xiao Rongcheng was excited: "What?!"

"Lord Wang, I don't know what's going on, we passed by the empty house and found that the two guards at the door were killed,"

Xiao Rongcheng is almost crazy, the queen can be robbed under his nose, where will he put his face? Not to mention that Xiao Rongzhan is ...... Eh, Xiao Rongzhan?

This thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and Xiao Rongcheng felt that the earth was trembling. One of his subordinates hurriedly lay on the ground and listened to the voice: "Lord Wang, a large group of men and horses are rushing over! There are tens of thousands of people listening to the voice!"

Tens of thousands! Xiao Rongcheng was flustered for a while, and only then did he feel a little like forgetting to bring a gun when he went to the battlefield and was empty-handed.

"Prepare the horse, prepare the horse!" Xiao Rongcheng shouted.

"Does the prince want to go out of the city to meet the enemy? Absolutely not!" His men clutched the reins tightly, for fear that their master would be hot-headed for a while, and rush out of the city to keep up with the ten thousand cavalry. This month is dark and windy, and those cavalry rushed over, which can completely trample Xiao Rongcheng into pulp!

"You get out of the way for me!" Xiao Rongcheng swept away his subordinates and drove away.

Only two of his men were left standing under the base of the city wall, not advancing or retreating. Where did the prince go? They don't know, eighty percent of them have returned to the palace to report the news, right? But when the soldiers came to attack, the wounded soldiers standing on the city wall were all defeated generals, how should this city be defended?

The two of them were about to apply oil to the soles of their feet and slip away in time, when they were suddenly strangled by a group of wounded soldiers with ropes. As soon as the two of them looked up, a snow-white cloth rose from the city wall. They actually surrendered?!

"Even the fourth prince has run away, what are we fighting for here!"

"Surrender and surrender!"

As soon as the city gate opened, the old and weak soldiers knelt at the city gate to welcome the Donglin army into the city. Xiao Rongcheng's two subordinates almost cried when they saw this formation, the two of them were also going to escape, and they wouldn't stop them from surrendering to the prince, why did they tie the two of them into zongzi?

This kind of question only turned in their minds, and then it came to naught. Several soldiers guarding the city pulled them to Shangguan Linrui's horse, and said respectfully: "General, these are two subordinates of King Lijun, King Lijun has run away, we will tie them up and hand them over to the general for disposal!"

"Yes, General, we sincerely surrender to the crown prince!"

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that they were taking themselves as a vote! Shangguan Linrui straddled the horse, looked down at the two unlucky eggs, and slapped one of them twice on the face with a horse whip: "What about the queen mother?"

The two unlucky guys were stunned and said in unison: "I don't know who rescued me!"

Shangguan Linrui's face was full of muscles, and he shouted, "Lie!"

The two unlucky eggs were huddled together, looking at the Donglin army on both sides and entering the capital.

"General, we don't dare to lie, the queen was indeed rescued, so the prince threw the two of us here and went to tell the emperor himself!"

Shangguan Linrui looked at the two fools in front of him, turned his horse and said: "Search everywhere for the whereabouts of the queen, but there is one point, you must not disturb the people! Those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!"

"General, we haven't done anything bad, we were forced by King Lijun, you should be merciful and merciful, treat us as a fart!"

Shangguan Linrui lowered his head, looked at the two unlucky eggs indifferently, and waved his hand: "These two things are useless, let's cut them!"

The Donglin army raised and fell with a knife, only two strands of blood were splashed, and as soon as the soldiers let go, the two corpses fell down one after the other.

The queen disappeared, which was an accident. Rong Zhan ordered Rong Run to take people to search for the queen's whereabouts, and he took his own soldiers to the palace to arrest Xiao Rongshen.

Because the four gates of the capital are fighting, the people in the palace are also very clear, once the four gates are broken, the next one to be attacked is the harem of this great Chu. Even the fourth lady of the Wei family fled for her life out of the palace, and the palace maids and inner eunuchs naturally looked like the trees were falling and scattering.

Before dawn, I heard that Xiao Rongzhan's Donglin army had broken the city, and Xiao Rongcheng, the king of Lijun, didn't know where to go. The last trump card, the queen, was also rescued by an unknown force. Yuan Jia hurried to the Qinzheng Palace, wanting to discuss a countermeasure with Gao Bingyan, but found that Gao Bingyan, who had promised to wait here, had also disappeared without a trace.

The big tree is about to fall, and everyone is in a hurry to go home and arrange the family properly. Yuan Jia was a little depressed in her heart, but this was also human nature, and she didn't feel strange.

Yuan Jia silently returned to Xiao Rongshen's dormitory and changed a piece of ice cloth for Xiao Rongshen.

Xiao Rongshen opened his eyes and asked clearly, "Everyone is gone, why don't you leave?"

Yuan Jia shook his head: "Everyone is here, no one has escaped." ”

Xiao Rongshen sneered for a while and said, "You don't have to lie to me, I have good ears, and I can hear clearly what people outside say." When Yuan Jie told you to escape, you shouldn't have asked to take me, you see, even Yuan Jie left you alone. It's hard for you to stay here with me. ”

Yuan Jia wiped his face with an ice handkerchief and said, "Didn't you say it? You don't believe in true feelings in this life, I want you to believe it." ”

Xiao Rong stroked her cheek deeply: "You stupid girl, I've been using you all along! Yuan Jie is right, I have never had true feelings for you." Back then, I was obsessed with Wei Yuanxi's tricks, so I regarded you as a substitute and kept harsh words on you. You should hate me, why do you want to sacrifice yourself to stay with me?"

"At least for the past two years, you've treated me well, haven't you? Especially since my mother died, you are the only one in the world who treats me. Now that you're in trouble, how can I leave you alone?"

Xiao Rongshen stretched out his hand and hugged Yuan Jia in his arms. If he could do it all over again, he would love her to death.

"Yuan Jia, are you willing to do something for me?" Xiao Rongshen asked solemnly.

Yuan Jia raised his head: "You say." ”

Xiao Rongshen supported his sick body and took Yuan Jia to the imperial study, and moved the cabinet away as he did last time, revealing a long tunnel.

"It's a secret passage, you have to go out of the tunnel, and the exit of the tunnel is Mt. Katano. There lived a man on the wild mountain, named the Void Daoist, who once said, "One day when I am in trouble, I can send someone to ask him to save me from fire and water." ”

Yuan Jia looked at Xiao Rongshen with wide eyes: "Really?"

Xiao Rongshen nodded: "He said that he could only see him when it came to life and death." The air in this secret passage is thin, and with my body, I am afraid that I will not be able to go that far, if you are willing, go out from the secret passage, and ask the Void Dao people to save me. ”

"Good. Yuan Jia didn't think about it, so he took a lamp and prostrated himself into the secret passage.

As soon as Yuan Jia left, Xiao Rongshen put the cabinet in its original state, and rubbed the tips of his shoes to remove the traces of moving the cabinet on the ground. He leaned on the cabinet and sat down: "Yuanjia, your sincerity, in this life and this life, I can only owe you." ”

Xiao Rongshen picked up a lamp and held it under the curtain, and the flames licked the dense curtain in an instant, and the fire soared into the sky, jumping up to the beam in an instant. Flames fell from the beams of the room, igniting the recital on the dragon bookcase. Xiao Rongshen was silent, walked to the main hall, and sat down.

She would never find any Void Dao people in her life, thinking that it was originally void and nothing. But if she survives, it may also become a thought for her in this life. If there is an afterlife, don't forget me.

Xiao Rongshen closed his eyes, and the flames set his clothes on fire......

The fire in the imperial study was like a death knell, waking everyone in the imperial city.

When Rong Zhanbing came to the palace gate, he found that the royal family surnamed Chu was kneeling according to seniority from old to young, and all officials and lords were on their knees. The leader is Princess Hanzhang's father, the old lady of Zhenguo Gongchu.

Rong Zhan jumped off the horse, helped Zhen Guogong up, looked up and saw the billowing smoke in the palace, and understood three points in his heart.

"Zhen Guogong has been taking care of his days all these years, and now in times of crisis, regardless of personal comfort, he has tried his best to support Huanyu, which really makes Rong Zhan feel very admired. Rong Zhan took Old Lady Chu's hand and let him go to the palace.

Old lady Chu bowed her head humbly, and took out a red cloth bag from her sleeve: "Your Highness, this is what the first emperor deposited in the hands of the old minister, and now it should be returned to the original owner." ”

He opened the cloth bag, revealing a bronze tiger talisman.
