"Woo woo ......" dull horn sound, resounding through the world, inspiring people's souls,

At the head of Xiangfan City, the soldiers of Da Chu held spears and swords, staring at the city with indifferent expressions.

Under the city, the dense Liyang soldiers rolled in like a tide, as if black clouds were rolling, wanting to overturn Xiangfan City, which had blocked them for nearly a year.

As the sound of the trumpet became more and more urgent, the siege ...... Here we go!

"Kill......"

"Ah......h

The roars and screams were endless.

The fierce battle lasted from day to night, the sunset reflected the battlefield, on the city wall, by the moat, broken swords could be seen everywhere, large pieces of dark red blood condensed, through the reflection of the glow, showing a strange dark purple.

Such battles have happened several times in the past six months.

Xiangfan City is like a nail, stuck dead in the road where the Liyang army is advancing.

And Wang Mingyang, the defender of Da Chu, has done the ultimate in defending the city, what is the trapped beast, this is the trapped beast. The city, full of old, weak, women and children all participated in the battle, and stopped the tiger and wolf soldiers outside the city.

Even though Xu Xiao had a strong wall and besieged Xiangfan City, there was still no sign of a shortage of grain and grass in Xiangfan City in a short period of time.

The battle for consecutive months could not be attacked for a long time, and it also made the Liyang army tired up and down.

Xu Xiao is like this on his side, and Gu Jiantang's side is also blocked by the Great Chu Soldier Saint Ye Baikui on the west wall.

……

Great Chu, Great Phoenix, Imperial Palace.

Although the old emperor of Dachu likes to chant poems against him, he is not stupid, and he also knows that at this time he has reached the critical juncture of the country's survival.

In the main hall, the old emperor sat on top of it and listened to the deliberations of the ministers below.

He was not familiar with military affairs and was not familiar with internal affairs, so he was often unable to make decisions, and usually the ministers below discussed them, and then the emperor issued a decree to implement them.

After retiring from the court, the old emperor returned to the inner court.

Sitting in the study, looking at the bookpost on the imperial case, he was not interested. He was a little frightened by the words of Lian Kangyan, a college student today, if Da Chu didn't make plans early, he was afraid that he would be destroyed.

The old emperor's body trembled, and there was some fear in his eyes, he didn't want to be the king of the dead country.

"Come on, invite the eldest princess. ”

After a while, the eldest princess of Da Chu, dressed in purple, came to the emperor.

The old emperor said that it was strange, he did not believe in the many ministers of His Royal Highness today, but believed in his daughter who was less than twenty, and at this moment he was eager to ask for some opinions from his daughter, who could not be seen through by the prime minister.

Tang Zichen's face was indifferent, and he entered the study, bowed slightly as a salute, and did not say a word.

The old emperor and the eunuchs around him were used to it and didn't care.

The emperor looked at his daughter, who was becoming more and more marked, and unconsciously showed a smile on his face, and said, "Chen'er, sit." ”

Tang Zichen was also polite and sat down, as a royal child, her dusty temperament exceeded her extravagance.

The old emperor sighed, "Chen'er, you should have heard about the situation on the front line, right?"

Tang Zichen nodded lightly.

The old emperor had hope in his eyes and said, "Chen'er, do you think our Da Chu will be able to turn the corner this time?"

Tang Zichen looked at the old emperor, hesitated, and said softly: "The general trend of the Liyang Dynasty has been achieved, and it is unstoppable to sweep the world, even if there are variables, if you want to save Da Chu, no one will agree......"

When the old emperor heard this, his face turned ashen, and he leaned back on the back of his chair, his eyes a little hollow.

He didn't understand why he had to face all this and be the king of this fallen country since he ascended the throne, he had implemented benevolent government and treated the people well.

Seeing his expression, Tang Zichen stood up and said, "If you want to leave some bloodline for the Great Chu Jiang family, Your Majesty still has to make plans in advance, if the army besieges the city, anyone can live, except for the Great Chu royal family." ”

The old emperor's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath and waved his hand.

Tang Zichen turned around and left.

It's not that she doesn't want to save Da Chu, but in the face of such a general trend in the world, even she can't do anything, not to mention that person won't allow herself to disrupt his plans.

……

A year later, in late autumn, in a small mountain village in Xichuan County, Beiliang.

On the east side of the village, there is a small courtyard, the wall of the small courtyard has collapsed in half, and the three earthen houses are dilapidated.

In the small courtyard, there is an earthen platform, a man in shabby clothes and a scruffy beard, from time to time pouring the wine from the bowl into his mouth, his eyebrows are scarlet, and his eyes are blurred.

In the corner of the courtyard, a little girl of more than two years old, wearing only single clothes, pursed her slightly blue mouth, looked at the man in fear, and then turned her head to look at the room.

Inside the room, there was some movement.

After a while, a man in rags walked out of the house, with some unfinished thoughts on his face and a lewd smile on his face. Straightening up his clothes, the man walked up to the drunken man, took out a few copper plates, threw them down, and walked away.

When the drunken man saw the money, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked it up and walked into the house.

Before long, there were men shouting and scolding and women screaming in the house.

The little girl in the small courtyard trembled slightly, closed her eyes tightly, and knew that the footsteps were in a hurry, so she dared to open her eyes, get up and walk towards the house with her calves. She knew that bad daddy was gambling again.

The sun is slanting in the west, and the autumn wind is bleak.

I don't know when, there was a man in a black robe in the small courtyard, standing in the courtyard, quietly listening to the whispered words of the mother and daughter in the house, like two injured animals, licking their wounds.

"Bang"

The man was full of alcohol, lost all his money, and when he entered the small courtyard, he saw a person standing in the courtyard, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to the man and shouted: "It's cool, hurry up and give money." ”

The sound alarmed the mother and daughter in the house, and the two walked out.

The woman was thin, a peasant woman, with an average appearance, but she looked a little soft and weak, and when she saw her husband reaching out for money, she looked at the black-robed man again, and knew that she had made a mistake, so she hurriedly said: "The head of the house, wrong, this person is not ......."

"Smack"

Before he could finish speaking, the man slapped the woman and knocked the woman to the ground, her face visibly swollen.

The little girl hurried to her mother's side, tears in her eyes, but she did not dare to cry.

The man didn't care about the mother and daughter, and stretched out his hand again: "Give the money ......"

Dai Daojin's eyes flashed.

The man's body was violently pulled into the air by an invisible pressure, as if he had been strangled by the neck, his face was flushed, his eyes were protruding, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Hoo ......"

There was no wind spontaneous combustion, and a smell of burnt meat was carried away by the wind as soon as it came out.

The man's face was extremely painful, and his flesh skin was flipped.

Dai Daojin didn't look at him, but looked at the mother and daughter on the ground with interest, the mother's eyes were filled with relief and fear, and the little girl who surprised Dai Daojin the most stared at the burning man in mid-air, without a trace of fear.

In the middle of the night, the fire was gone, and only some ashes fell to the ground.

Dai Daojin said to the two people on the ground: "Clean up and come with me." ”
