For a few days, the coalition forces outside Yunding City never launched an attack again, and it seemed that after the previous two battles, Long Yuhai felt that Yunding City was not a city that could be captured quickly, so he was ready for a protracted battle.

However, Long Yuhai didn't think that time would be on his side, these days, he could always see carrier pigeons flying out of Yunding City, like a signal to other cities for help.

The rumors of the Zhu family's rebellion are rampant in the outside world, and the public opinion has shown a one-sided trend, Long Yuhai is afraid that after a long time, there will really be teams from other cities to join the defenders of Yunding City, and he is even more afraid that his internal team will be shaken and split and mutiny.

That night, the scout in front brought the news that Long Yuhai didn't want to hear: the south gate of Yunding City opened, and a team of about 10,000 troops drove in.

In the next few nights, the south gate of Yunding City will be opened every night, and there will be troops entering the city constantly, when there are thousands of people, and when there are tens of thousands of people, almost all of them are the establishment of a city garrison.

"Originally, when we had the advantage in numbers, we couldn't attack it, but now the two armies are equal in size, and the number of the other side is still increasing, and if we continue to fight, I am afraid there is no chance of victory. ”

Long Yuhai began to have the idea of retiring from the army.

He had just gone to Yun Tianshen and explained to him the situation in the past few days, and when he asked him for his opinion on retreating, Yun Tianshen was noncommittal, and asked him his opinion on the changes in Yunding City in the past few days, and he didn't say a word.

Although Long Yuhai was a little annoyed by Yun Tianshen's attitude, he was helpless.

In Yunding City, the soldiers were taking advantage of the night to organize their equipment and bags, some were preparing dry food, and some were carefully wrapping their weapons with ropes and cloths, as if they were about to march for a long time.

Gao Yuan was also ready to go, he looked at the small attic on the upper floor of the city, Gao Fei was still there, he didn't seem to have stepped out of that attic since the king went to war.

Gao Yuan came to the attic and saw that Gao Fei was still sitting in front of the desk, with the game of chess in front of him, and both the red and black sides had already taken many steps, and it seemed that the end game was about to end.

"Third brother," Gao Yuan called him, "Third brother, we're about to go." ”

Gao Fei glanced up at his younger brother, nodded and said, "Well, go ahead, be careful on the road." ”

"Third brother, are you so sure?"

Gao Fei shook his head and said, "I have never been completely sure about this war, but listening to the confrontation with Yun Tianshen last time, I think we should have confidence in him." ”

"Do you think he's going to defect?" asked Gao Yuan.

Gao Fei still shook his head, "It's hard to say, but he's a smart guy and an upright person, although he won't necessarily fight back openly, but I don't think he will help Long Yuhai wholeheartedly." ”

After a pause, he said again: "So, I arranged for you to attack this time, it is to annihilate Long Yuhai's troops, don't care about Yun Tian sinking them, as for how to tell the difference, the troops who attacked separately during the day and night last time, their military uniforms are different, I think you should have noticed." ”

Gao Yuan was still a little worried, "However, all of us went around the enemy's rear to launch a surprise attack, what if they attacked the city directly?"

Gao Fei smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, they don't dare to attack the city, these days let you release carrier pigeons during the day, and at night change into the military uniforms of other cities to sneak out of the west gate and then go around the south gate to come in, just to make them mistakenly think that there are still a large number of reinforcements in the city." Judging from the previous situation, Long Yuhai is also a cautious and calm general, he will definitely send scouts to spy on the movements of our army, at this time, he will never think that this city is already empty, for him, there is only one way to break through and retreat, you only need to set up an ambush according to my plan, and you will be able to annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”

Gao Yuan was still not at ease, "In case, I mean in case, they weren't fooled, then the third brother, you ......"

Goofy stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "This is our best chance to defeat them, and we can't give it up no matter what." ”

Gao Yuan shook his head helplessly, "Third brother, why are you in such a hurry, we don't have to take such a big risk, wait a few days, then Long Yuhai may withdraw from the army, you were too anxious last time......"

He originally wanted to talk about the massacre of Yunding City, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back, since that incident, he found that Gao Fei's whole person had become much duller.

"Maybe the third brother has been blaming himself for that incident...... Gao Yuan thought so in his heart, and finally didn't continue to insist, but said lightly: "The third brother is sitting alone in Yunding City, you must be careful." After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

When Gao Yuan walked out of the door, Gao Fei sighed softly, a girl's delicate face appeared in his mind, and he remembered how angry she was, how she wept, and how she smiled happily...... It was the only image that comforted him these days.

"Fourth brother is right, why am I in such a hurry?" he looked up at the moon in the sky with some wistfulness, and muttered to himself, "Is it because I miss her?"

"The sooner the war ends, you'll be able to come back to me sooner......"

Lin Qianyuan occasionally felt inexplicable panic these days, like some kind of ominous premonition.

For her, the worst that could happen was that one came from the warring Yunding City in the south, and the other from the Demon Forest.

She really wanted to go to Yunding City, but she also knew that this was the most critical moment in the war between the two sides, and if she rushed forward, instead of helping, she would distract Gao Fei.

As for the situation in the Demon Realm Forest, she already had some guesses in her mind, but except for her, the information of other people in this regard seemed to be completely blank, and even if she told her father, these guesses would hardly have any effect.

She needs to find someone who knows about the existence of the "Demon Realm".

"But Gao Fei can't care about this kind of thing at all in Yunding City now, and I will only cause trouble for him when I look for him at this time......"

Lin Qianyuan pondered, "There is another person who knows the Demon Realm, Ah Fei said that he and his righteous brother once knew this secret in that small room, and his righteous brother was the righteous son adopted by the former king, and I heard that he fled to Qingqiu Country a few days ago. ”

Lin Qianyuan finally found a new breakthrough, "I'll go to Qingqiu Country to find him now, maybe, he will know something." ”

It's been almost a month since Gao Cheng came to Qingqiu Country.

At the beginning, the young man came from the mountain on a dragon horse, and the Gloom Lin army was afraid of provoking a war, so he didn't dare to do anything to the Qingqiu nobles, so he had to let him follow the young man away.

Although the young man came to save him, his attitude towards him was very indifferent, the distance from Qingqiu Mountain to Longchuan, the national capital, was hundreds of miles, he just rode a dragon horse in front of him, but let the "guest" Gao Cheng trot all the way behind.

Fortunately, Gao Cheng's light work was not weak, and he walked all the way to the Qingqiu National Capital, and he did not show fatigue, and the young man who called himself "Ying Linghou" seemed to be a little interested in him, but even so, he still didn't say a word.

Coming down from Qingqiu Mountain, looking at it all the way, Gao Cheng found that the people of this Qingqiu country were all brightly dressed, and the houses and buildings were also extremely gorgeous and luxurious.

Walk to the front of the palace hall, the bluestone bricks on the ground have all been replaced with verdant jade, the two white jade lions at the door are two people high, the carving is fine, vivid, the eyes of the two lions are obsidian finely carved, a lion steps on a colorful ball with its front paws, and the other side steps on a small lion.

Looking up, on the palace inlaid with gold and jade, all kinds of gold cups and jade cups, glazed jewels are dazzling, even the side hall next to it is also exquisite and chic.

Being in this complex of carved beams and paintings, Gao Cheng was a little stunned for a while, and then he realized that Qingqiu, who had been known as the overlord of the southern country along with Southern Chu in recent years, lived in such a rich and luxurious life.

After a while, a white-haired old eunuch walked quickly with small steps and said sharply: "Marquis Yingling, please stay, this son, please come with me." ”

It was only at this time that Gao Cheng suddenly realized who he really wanted to see, he originally thought that it was just a nobleman from Qingqiu Country who saved him, but now it seems that the person in the palace with an extremely noble status is interested in him.

Nangong Yu, the monarch of Qingqiu, is already over the age of six, his face is wrinkled, his white hair is pale, and he seems to be about to die.

Gao Cheng approached, did not kneel, but gave a salute, and said loudly: "Gao Cheng, the chief waiter in the court of Southern Chu, meet the king, I don't know what the king is urgently summoning, what is the so-called matter?"

"Chief Chamberlain?" a hint of mockery appeared on Nangong Yu's face, "Your current identity should be a fugitive from the Southern Chu Kingdom, right?"

Gao Cheng smiled: "I don't know if what the king wants to see is the chief of the inner chamberlain Gao Cheng or the fugitive Gao Cheng?"

Nangong Yu shook his head: "Neither." ”

Gao Cheng said: "Then the king is only afraid that he has found the wrong person." After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, the other party was the king of a country, and the longer he chatted with him, the more passive he became, Gao Cheng didn't think that he could fight this kind of treacherous and cunning character by playing with his heart.

Nangong Yu said: "Slow, loneliness will never find the wrong person." ”

Gao Cheng had to stop.

"You're the one you're looking for. ”

Gao Cheng smiled, "It's a pity that I'm either the chief of the chamberlain, or a fugitive." ”

Nangong Yu also smiled, "Indeed, now you are either the head of the chamberlain or a fugitive." ”

He slowly stood up from the throne, walked down the steps step by step, and said, "But you are not a high achievement. ”

The smile on Gao Cheng's face disappeared.

Of course, he knew what the other party meant by this.

He was an orphan and was adopted by Gao Qiang, so his surname was Gao, and before he was adopted, he should have another name.

Who is your biological father?

He had been asking this question for a long time, but no one could answer him. The only father-in-law who knew the answer had never been secretive about it, and when his father-in-law became king, he was not qualified to ask the king of a country about these old things.

And now, Gao Qiang, the only one who knows the truth, has died, and he thought that he would never have the opportunity to know his life experience again, but he didn't expect that on the palace hall in a foreign country, someone gave him a glimmer of hope.

Gao Cheng didn't look back, tried his best to suppress his slightly trembling voice, and asked quietly: "If it's not Gao Cheng, who else can it be?"

Nangong Yu didn't answer him, but asked, "Presumably you should have heard that our Qingqiu Kingdom originally had a huge family surnamed Yun. ”

Gao Cheng's heart fluttered, and he replied: "Naturally, I have heard of it." ”

"The last head of the Yun family, his name is Yun Qing. ”

"Sword God Yunqing is the first person in the martial arts recognized by the entire Great Wilderness for a hundred years, and this name is like thunder to Zaixia. ”

"It's a pity that even if you are the best in the world, you will die. ”

Nangong Yu sighed faintly, as if he had fallen into a deep memory, and suddenly said impassionedly: "He is the greatest warrior in the history of Qingqiu Country! The army he led is invincible, invincible, and has no enemies, and is not afraid of the Yun family army that was powerful in the world back then!"

"But," Nangong Yu's voice suddenly became heavy, "However, although his enemies could not defeat him, they used despicable means to assassinate him, not only killed him, but also slaughtered him and robbed him of his young only son. This vicious man did not kill the child, but raised the child, and made him recognize the thief as his father, in order to prevent the child from knowing the truth, he made the child a palace guard, guarding the palace forever, and he was not allowed to leave the capital for the rest of his life......"

At some point, Nangong Yu had already come to Gao Cheng, who was already shocked, he patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Do you know what this child's name is? ”

The young man didn't recover from the shock at all, although deep down he already believed Nangong Yu's words a little, he still insisted with a glimmer of hope: "Why should I believe you?"

Nangong Yu slowly walked up to the young man, stared into his eyes, and asked word by word, "Tell Gu, do you really not believe it at all?"

"Regarding the demise of the Yun family, in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Southern Chu Palace, what is recorded is a completely different statement, you are making up this kind of lie to make the people of Qingqiu hate the Southern Chu Kingdom!" The young man seemed to grasp a life-saving straw in his heart, and retorted righteously.

"Every nation, for its own political gain, lies in the accounts of those authorities, and it seems that the words written on such precious silk silk have become sacrosanct, even if they are lies. ”

Nangong Yu's expression was calm, as if he was talking to himself, "But a lie is a lie, as long as there is evidence, a lie will be self-defeating." ”

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the young man, and said, "If it weren't for Gao Qiang killing your father, how could you be imprisoned in the palace of the enemy country, you, Yun Luochen, is the most powerful evidence." ”

"How do you prove that I'm the cloud?"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, raised his finger upward, and pointed to the quaint big sword behind the young man's back, "The sword of the sword god Yunqing, no one has seen it in the palace of Nanchu, but outside, there should be many people who know it." ”
