The rainy season is coming, and the air is wet and cold, soaking the bone marrow.

Yuecheng was shrouded in drizzle and haze, dark wooden beams, green bricks and gray tiles, the huge mansion was gloomy and gloomy, the eaves were dripping, and the cave hall was deserted and black, and there was only one man in plain clothes and a haggard mantle drinking quietly, and there were two newly made deceased spirit tablets on the wooden table beside him.

Jiang Mian's face was sad and chattered with the two spiritual positions, as if he was reminiscing, and occasionally cried and laughed when he talked about the jokes of the year.

Crash~

The jar was thrown outside the door and shattered, and the wine mixed with the rain gathered in the puddle.

"Good brother...... Brother, I'm sorry for you......"

The sound of whimpering and crying echoed in the dim and tall courtyard, and there was only Jiang Mian himself in the courtyard, and the water droplets from the quaint gray tile eaves fell into the water tank filled with water below, and the sound was crisp.

Yuecheng was besieged, after several days of rescue losses on the north bank of the river no longer make senseless sacrifices, at the same time, the development of too fast and accumulated for a long time of various contradictions became more and more prominent, most of the generals expressed deep regret and advocated to abandon King Jiang to return to the hot land, a small number of generals who had followed Jiang Mian for a long time refused to go, and the main generals began to quarrel with each other.

The rainy season may not end in three or four months, and the people on the other side of the river don't seem to care about the rain at all, and they hold on to the river bank to besiege Yuecheng, and even worse, the river is too high and the water is too fast, and it is difficult to force a position across the river, and even if they cross the river from other places, they will be blocked in the mountains by the Chibi people, who are better at mountain warfare.

In particular, the archery skills of the Chibi people are tricky and vicious, and they live in a place full of miasma in the mountains, and their archery skills are not good, and they can't hit the prey and survive.

The southern barren mountains don't even like the demon beasts, compared to the southern wilderness located in the southwest of the Central Plains, it is more like a paradise, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, the environment shapes the race, the Chibi people fight and are not afraid of death, and it can even be said that it is close to suicide, it is difficult to resist these madmen if they are not fully prepared, not to mention crossing the river.

Speculators are reluctant to deal with a prince and king who may be killed at any time, so it is a big deal to choose another one.

At the beginning, the generals who followed Jiang Mian to fight the country took the risk of leading their troops to cross the river, Jiang Mian led the troops to cooperate with his own internal and external cooperation, and the result was still defeated by the barbarians.

The turbulent river has countless bodies......

The tragic death of the two old brothers constantly stimulated Jiang Mian, and he lost weight in a few days back to the sturdy little general he was back then.

Looking at the noisy and noisy other side of the river, the head of the tragic brother is still hanging on the bamboo pole on the beachhead, recalling what the old brother has done in the past few years, and regretting that he should not have done it in the first place.

Outside the door, Pan Hongzu held the sword in his arms, leaned against the doorpost, closed his eyes, and Chenjia chanted in the side room.

The footsteps approached, Pan Hongzu opened his eyes and took a look to continue cultivating sword intent, the person who came was Qiao Jin, the daughter of Qiao Sheng, the guard general of Yuecheng, her martial arts were sealed, and she was one of the few people in this courtyard who could walk around.

Maybe it's because they come often, and the two Great Sect disciples don't say a word.

Qiao Jin walked to the door and frowned and passed through the other side of the door, the martial arts were sealed and the perception was still there, and there would be a feeling of pinprick when he was too close to the mysterious Taoist, as if the Taoist priest was an unsheathed sword, and he instinctively dodged and walked around......

"Huh!

Before entering the inner courtyard, he cursed, and Chenjia, who was reciting the scriptures, looked up and found that there were no outsiders.

"Pan Daoyou, she scolded the two of us?"

Pan Hongzu raised his eyelids and looked at Chenjia sympathetically, his eyes seemed to be looking at a fool, and he finally said two words lazily before Chenjia went berserk.

"That's right. ”

"What an unreasonable person. "I don't know if I'm talking about Qiao Jin or an old rival.

Purple Void Sword Cultivator still closed his eyes and recuperated, being scolded would not provoke murder, but if he scolded too many times and committed taboos, the consequences would be uncertain, and there would be a degree to everything.

Qiao Jin came to the hall with two jars of soju and sneered at King Jiang who was drinking from the rain.

Put down the wine jar, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the sword that King Jiang was carrying next to the wooden table, his martial arts were sealed, but it was not a big problem to kill people with a sword, not to mention that the opponent was still a drunk, or ...... Take the opportunity to kill this abominable intruder?

Suddenly! Qiao Jin felt like falling into an ice cave!

Looking up at the door, she didn't know if it was an illusion, she saw the sword in the arms of the mysterious Taoist priest leaning on the doorpost trembling slightly inexplicably, and when she looked away from the sword, the feeling of being on her back disappeared, and she knew in her heart that there was no possibility of successful assassination.

Jiang Mian looked up and saw Qiao Jin with a wry smile.

"You're here......"

"This is my home, I should ask you. ”

Qiao Jin choked coldly, he didn't care about his identity as a prisoner at all, now King Jiang and the 20,000 Yan army are no different from prisoners under the order, there is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, and the consequences will not be much better than Qiao Jin's father and daughter.

Hearing the word home, Jiang Mian suddenly remembered the old house in the town, when he could eat the hot meals made by his wife every day when he went home......

Since there were many more women in the backyard, I haven't eaten the food cooked by my wife, and a few years ago, because of the cold of several concubines, my wife could not eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Every time she went out, she would stand in the corner and watch herself from afar......

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, if he can go back, he will treat his wife well, if he can go back.

"The people of the city are well. ”

"It's not good, someone will starve to death in a few days, King Jiang, surrender, at least think about the survival of your 20,000 loyal men. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Mian, who was originally depressed, laughed and burst into tears.

"Hahaha...... Means of subsistence...... Haha! Impossible! In order to kill me, Wu Guo used Yuecheng as bait to accompany the funeral at any cost! There was not a single nobleman in the whole city, it was just ordinary people! How many days can you live without food?"

Qiao Jin naturally didn't believe it, how could so many people in Yuecheng be treated as victims.

"Full of nonsense, as long as you are willing to surrender, you can send grain and grass, it is your greed for life and fear of death that you are unwilling to give up glory and wealth. ”

Jiang Wang laughed louder and even coughed.

"Haha-ahem...... Go up to the city wall and see with your own eyes whether there are any Wu troops in the besieged city outside! Those are the soldiers of the Chibi people! As long as you open the city gate and surrender, this Yue City will immediately become a purgatory on earth!"

"I ......" Qiao Jin's face turned pale.

Chibi is brutal and murderous in life, there have been many records of slaughtering prisoners and slaughtering cities, the former Tang Dynasty was prosperous and fought against the Chibi people did not dare to go north, and later took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and was ready to move in the south to create a lot of killing, especially the people of Wu are most afraid of the Chibi people, Qiao Jin knew that there were all Chibi people outside, but he found a reason for himself to deliberately ignore it, but Jiang Wang's words ruthlessly exposed the reality.

In fact, there is really no and cannot be a soldier of Wu outside, all of them are Chibi people, Wu Guo has abandoned Yuecheng and everyone in the city, Qiao Sheng and Qiao Jin are just abandoned sons.

"I and 20,000 Yan troops are protecting the people of Yuecheng, the city is broken, and none of us can survive. ”

Qiao Jin wanted to refute but was speechless, knowing in his heart that what King Jiang said was true, but he still couldn't accept it......

Leaving the hall and walking out in a daze, going out and walking into the inner courtyard, looking up at the sky, I saw rolling dark clouds, cold rain hitting my face and cooling my heart, and I went out in despair.

When he walked to the door of the inner courtyard, King Jiang shouted.

"Pan Daoyou, unblock her, we need her to defend the city together. ”

Pan Hongzu glanced at Qiao Jin, who seemed to have lost his soul, and waved his hand, and the ban on Qiao Jin was lifted.

Chenjia looked up.

"It's okay, no swearing. ”
