For several hours, the soldiers of the Rizhao Moon Lice Pioneer Battalion did not come to knock on the level, although He Pei got a chance to breathe and recover his true yuan, but the woman's intuition was like worrying about the sudden change in the climate, and she did not dare to let down her vigilance at all.

The city of Yundu has already become a pot of porridge, the people in the city are sincerely afraid, Yelu Jinyun has sent people to send all the equipment needed for the battle to the people in the city, but these people have not experienced the battlefield for a long time, so their hearts have always given up resistance, Yelu Jinyun understands that only when the Wangcheng garrison guards fight to the last soldier, these people may be organized into the last line of defense in Yundu.

Just when Yelu Jinyun was hesitating, the sentinel came to report that Qin Tiancang led the crowd to bypass An Lin, and the military horses of the headquarters drove straight into the south lane, approaching the Yundu Wangcheng. Hearing the news, Yelu Jinyun was also taken aback, and hurriedly personally criticized the gown and asked He Pei to be recalled.

He Pei also withdrew from the Anlin camp after receiving the news, and the first thing she did when she came back was to go to the Luochuan Garden of Jiali Temple to find Bai Zixiang, and when she saw the ruin after the people went to the empty building, He Pei shed tears of remorse.

She regretted that she had mistakenly believed Bai Zixiang's words and did not follow Xiao Luo's instructions, causing Qin Yu, who had finally been caught, to slip away under her nose, otherwise Qin Tiancang would definitely throw herself into a mouse trap, and the crisis in Yundu could be resolved without blood.

When it was too late to regret it, he could only make amends, He Pei returned to his boudoir, changed into a dark green Luanfeng robe, and entered the palace to meet the monarch Yelu Jinyun.

At this time, Yelu Jinyun was convening the ministers in the main hall to discuss the matter, Yelu Jinyun's face was extremely ugly, his vigorous face was a little haggard, and a few small pieces of hair were exposed at the crown of his hair, which was completely different from his usual exquisite dress.

Most of the people in the hall were civil officials, and the military generals had already rushed to the killing field, and the ministers came to see them, and everyone unanimously advised the monarch to abandon the palace and turn to the east of the city to avoid trouble. Yelu Jinyun's face was gloomy all the time, and his fists trembled unconsciously. In the end, this war was lost, the sun was menacing, and there were people inside and outside the city, and there was a lack of good generals in the city to defend against the enemy, since the south lane had escaped, it was really impossible to hold on.

Yelu Jinyun was racking his brains to think, is the foundation of Yundu for hundreds of years really going to be destroyed in his own hands? He obviously sent someone to invite Xiao Luo and Chong Wanzhong back, why has he not seen them so far, the Rizhao soldiers are coming to the city, and the ministers are afraid, and they actually let Benjun abandon the royal city and escape, and now whether to go or stay, I really have no idea.

"Your Majesty, in the past, Duke Wen of Jin was exiled for 19 years and finally achieved hegemony, but now Yundu can no longer hold on, the soldiers are tired, and the people are afraid, why not listen to the advice of the ministers, first leave the royal city to avoid trouble, wait until the war on the eastern front is stable, contact General Situ and Xiao Luo and other Sitian, and then recapture the royal city, without compromising the prestige of the king, and please do not hesitate. ”

Yelu Jinyun saw that the speaker was Fei Cong, the head of the civil officials, this person was also a military general when he was young, and he also spared no effort to resist the invasion of Rizhao Kingdom twenty years ago, who knew that twenty years passed in a blink of an eye, and the brave warriors of the year would be so afraid! Yelu Jinyun was not worried about losing his prestige, but once he gave up the royal city, the Jiali Temple and the Meridian Altar would definitely fall into the hands of Qin Tiancang. Qin Tiancang's demeanor and appearance are very different from He Jia's appearance in all aspects, Yelu Jinyun and the two have met with Mijiang many times, Qin Tiancang is gentle and elegant, and he is a personable king, while He Jia's appearance is different, just like the Fu Xi Gong he practiced, the whole person is yin and yang, and he has always been extremely fierce in dealing with people, but this time Rizhao and Luo Sheng violated the realm at the same time, He Jia is much brighter than Qin Tiancang, after all, Qin Tiancang violated the oath, and Chengyun came to seize it, Qin Tiancang is really a hypocrite!

"The thoughts of Envoy Fei and all Aiqing, how can this gentleman not know, but Rizhao originally wanted to seize the Jiali Temple and the Meridian Altar, once our side evacuated, the two places will definitely fall into the hands of the enemy, and the place where Yundu cultivates will be destroyed, even if the lost territory is recaptured in the future, the repair work may not be successful. If he has the heart to inform Qin Tiancang of the secret method of cultivating fate, the people of Rizhao will definitely follow the example of Yundu, everyone cultivates fate, plus with the assistance of the moon lice beast, Rizhao can cultivate an invincible army after a few years of cultivation, how can Yundu be spared at that time?"

Fei Cong took a step forward and bowed down and said: "Now that the sun is on the verge of the city, the moon lice beast is extremely brave, and our army is overwhelmed, this is unstoppable." The people have not been in war for several years, and they have no intention of participating in the war, although there are thousands of people, but the people's will has not been able to become a force, and this is a threat that dare not be committed. Jiali Temple Luochuan Yuan Si Tianbai self-appreciation to recruit rebellion, into Rizhao, rich Jia Quluo through Yin Xian South Lane, resulting in Rizhao soldiers and horses driving straight in, these two people are in charge of the cloud to work, but they compete with each other to join the enemy, resulting in the cloud capital external worries and internal troubles, which is contrary to the people's heart. In this way, the sun is unstoppable, the enemy is unstoppable, the people are unstoppable, and the people are facing each other, if Yundu insists on defending to the death, what chance can he win?"

After Fei Cong finished saying these three principles, he looked at the ministers behind him, and the ministers said yes one after another, Yelu Jinyun saw that everyone was bewitched by Fei Cong, and his heart was even more annoyed, but many ministers in the court had already stood on the 'escape' faction, and he knew that his words had no weight now, and he couldn't help but feel a little desolate in his heart.

"Fei Chang Envoy is right, stay in Qingshan and are not afraid of no firewood, but I have learned that Xiao Luo and Chong Wanzhong led the troops on the way back, and the deacon of Jiali Temple is not lacking in the Venerable Master has also explored his news, as long as we hold one more day, there is a possibility of turning defeat into victory, of course, this Jun will also personally hang the seal to meet the battle this time, although the number of Rizhao infantry is large, but it is not worth mentioning, although the Moon Lice Pioneer Battalion is brave, but the number one hundred and ten, Benjun and all the guards and soldiers resist together, and it is expected that it is more than enough to hold for three days!"

The court suddenly exploded, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and Yelu Jinyun couldn't help but panic when he saw this. Fei Cong's face was full of anxiety, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Why can't you tell the truth until now, there is no lack of deacons who have been poisoned by moon lice in Chenhe, life and death are uncertain, and his whereabouts are unknown. And Yundu has lost contact with the front line of Yudangshan for several days, and it is expected that someone must have robbed and killed the messenger of communication in the middle of the road, and Yundu has no foreign aid at all now, not to mention three days, it is unknown whether it can spend the cold dew season today!"

"Fei Lao Pifu!"

The Guiyuan Hall reverberated sharply, the voice was beautiful but not lacking in sonorous power, and everyone immediately woke up to the fact that it was a woman who walked into the court, and their hearts were greatly panicked.

There has always been no rule for women to go to the court in Chaoyun Pavilion, not to mention that this woman came uninvited, everyone couldn't help but look sideways, Fei Cong stared at the entrance position with an annoyed face, he was an important minister of Yundu, and he was abused for the first time, and he was really angry in his heart.

A woman outside the door was plump, dressed solemnly and gorgeously, and a phoenix-tailed long skirt dragged behind her, Yelu Jinyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "It turns out that He Pei Sitian of Jiali Temple is here, please hurry up!"

Fei Cong saw that the person who came was really He Pei, and snorted coldly: "Guiyuan Hall Chaoyun Pavilion has always been a place where the monarch summons the ministers to discuss matters, when will women be allowed to go to the palace to discuss matters?"

Yelu Jinyun saw that He Pei was tense with Fei Cong as soon as he went to the palace, and he couldn't help but sweat, and he said: "He Pei is the first female Si Tian in Jiali Temple for hundreds of years, she loves and hates clearly, and has a broad mind. ”

"A woman is a woman, and discussing with everyone is like chewing her tongue, if the court is full of women, chirping is like birds entering the forest, and the temple is full of birds and beasts, wouldn't it be a loss of national body?"

He Pei was surprisingly quiet after hearing this, she made a gesture towards Yelu Jinyun first, and then turned to look at Fei Cong, "What a shameless old thing, I He Pei thinks that I have the appearance of a country and a city, and I regard the hypocrisy of men in the world as child's play. I was edicted to resist foreign enemies, and when I learned that the royal city was in trouble, I deliberately returned to help, and I did my best to be a minister; bearing in mind the earnest teachings of the deacon of the extreme way, I defended the city with death, and I also returned the kindness of the inheritance; Yundu lives and dies, as an important minister, but you do not think of retreating from the enemy, but persuade the lord to flee to avoid trouble, even I, the little woman in your mouth, also understand the future fortune of the royal city to comfort the relationship Yundu, if you do this, are you not afraid that you will soon face several ancestors under the nine springs?"

"You... What a sharp-toothed He Pei, it's a pity that it is not my intention to flee from the royal city, all the ministers are in favor of the plan to abandon the city, I want to ask you, whether Bai Zixiang has already surrendered to Rizhao, you are like brothers and sisters with him, don't you know anything about his communication with foreign countries?

"I will not give any opinion, the monarch has the decision-making power, whether to go or stay, the Jiali Temple will definitely follow the will of the monarch, as for Bai Zixiang, from the day he surrendered to the enemy, he no longer belongs to the people of the Jiali Temple, the extreme deacon and Xiao Luo are not there, although I am a woman, but I can also be the home of the Jiali Temple, now the Rizhao soldiers and horses have entered the South Lane, and the royal city has been short-term, although the number of its infantry is large, but it is far from the strength of the people I cultivate, what to consider is nothing more than his moon lice pioneer battalion, I observed that these moon lice are of different sizes, presumably Rizhao took advantage of Luo Sheng's attack on the occasion of Yundu to hastily recruit soldiers, and the moon lice soldiers passed through the battle of Chenhe AnlinThere are only about a hundred left, and according to reliable sources, the Moon Lice Beast can only exert its maximum power at night on the night of the full moon. ”

Yelu Jinyun asked, "Is that really the case?"

"That's true, the moon lice beast is the toad raised in the garden of Queen Zhen of Rizhao country, it is said that this Queen Zhen is unfathomable, and she actually knows the method of Yundu cultivation and the secret order of the five elements, she fused the repelling technique of Rizhao to make the toad in the pool become today's moon lice, this monster has tough skin, invulnerable, water and fire are invulnerable, and can jump out of dozens of zhang away, wings grow behind the back, can take off, can enter the water, and the skin is hidden in the toad, extremely poisonous, ordinary soldiers are not their opponents at all, but through a few fights, I know a little about the ability of moon lice。 ”

"Oh, what should we do to deal with moon lice?"

"Back to the king, the sunshine invaded my cloud capital, which coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, in this celestial phenomenon, the yin and yang were empty, the moon was in the sky, and the moon lice beast devoured the moonlight, during this time, the moon lice beast was the strongest state, plus the sunshine army has always liked to march at night, so the moon lice are occupying the day and fighting with us, how can we ordinary 'Void Valley' cultivators resist it? However, this time is different from the past, Qin Tiancang thought that he would win by opening the South Lane, and he was eager to use troops, but he didn't know that the sun was in full swing during the day, and the moon lice could not absorb the moonlight but were scorched by the sun, and their ability must be greatly reduced, so we can take this opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"Hahahaha..."Fei Cong laughed on the side: "He Sitian don't forget, Qin Tiancang is proficient in strategy, how can he go out of his nest, he will definitely split the team into small units, seize the east and west gates of the royal city, and then besiege us, day and night, making us uneasy, but they can wait for work, so that the Rizhao soldiers can take the royal city without blood, this kind of army principle that children will use, I didn't expect He Sitian to see it? I advise you to obey the whole monarch and adopt the method of the ministers, and it is true to avoid trouble first." ”

He Pei also smiled, this smile did not see the corners of his mouth rise, but there was a cold wind surrounding the hall, Yelu Jinyun stared at it, but saw that He Pei's hands were already blue light, and the surrounding crowd did not notice the strangeness of He Pei's hands at all, only to see He Pei pacing close to Fei Cong, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the air suddenly froze.

Fei Cong didn't have any insight that his feet were like lotus roots, and small branches grew from the soles of his feet into his body, he was like a stake that fell to the ground, the corners of his mouth were crooked, his eyes were full of fear, and he stared straight at He Pei's cheeks in front of him, like a bay of muddy well water, clear but blurry.

Fei Cong couldn't believe that He Pei, as a woman, not only dared to set foot in the upper hall, but also dared to kill people in front of all the ministers and monarchs. His death, everyone showed a look of horror, after all, Fei Cong was also born as a military general, but he didn't expect that he still had no power to parry in front of He Pei, He Pei in the realm of 'no delusion' was like a god at this time, everyone didn't dare to say a word except for sighing, they just quietly waited for Yelu Jinyun's disposal.

Who knew that Yelu Jinyun saw everything in front of him, his face was the same as He Pei, he inadvertently gave He Pei a look, He Pei suddenly understood, walked to the top of the hall steps and said to everyone: " The little woman killed Fei Cong today, just because he retreated before the war and was demagoguery, and got rid of him in front of the monarch today, just to remind the ministers present, Yundu can only be defended, not retreated, I know that everyone may have objections to this, since everyone supports retreat, it is better for me to prepare a good place for everyone, although my Landie Valley is not a paradise, but it is a deep grass and trees, A good place to escape the world, you can bring your family to live in Landie Valley, Yundu is safe and has its own monarch to lead the army to cook, I He Pei to you to ensure the safety of the trip. ”

After He Pei finished speaking, he bowed to Yelu Jinyun, Yelu Jinyun showed an approving gaze, and when everyone saw this, they suddenly realized in their hearts that this Fei Cong's death was not wronged at all, but the monarch borrowed He Pei's hand. The monarch had already planned to defend and resist the enemy, if anyone dared to dissuade the monarch, the end would inevitably be the same as Fei Cong, it was better to obey He Pei's arrangement and go to Landie Valley to avoid trouble first.

Everyone was in the same mind, but no one dared to say much, Yelu Jinyun saw that everyone was acquiescing, so he ordered the left and right guards to send them to Landie Valley.

Only Yelu Jinyun and He Pei were left in Chaoyun Pavilion, and Yelu Jinyun asked: "Fei Cong's words are indeed demagogic, if you don't come, Benjun really doesn't know whether to go or stay." ”

"The monarch is the king of a country, unlike their subordinates, if they are captured one day, as long as they are willing to surrender on their knees, there is absolutely no problem in keeping this fate, but if the monarch abandons and does not fight, once Qin Tiancang wins Yundu, the monarch will not only be worried about his life, but will also be stinking for 10,000 years. ”

"Okay! Although He Pei is a daughter, everything he said is reasonable, far better than those who dance and write, thinking back to the beginning, he really shouldn't compete with Jiali Temple like this, if the extreme Tao is still there, how dare Rizhao move?"

"I have sent people to the Chenhe area to look for the deacon's traces, the Rizhao military camp is full of rumors that the deacon has been poisoned by the moon lice beast, but so far there is no whereabouts of him, I think with the deacon's cultivation, it is more likely to be false. ”

"Hurry up and find him, only he knows the whereabouts of the Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra, as long as this book does not fall into the hands of the Rizhao people, we will win. By the way, have Xiao Luo and Chong Wanzhong also lost contact?"

"I've sent three groups of men to report the news, but there is no news, and I suspect that someone has robbed them halfway and deliberately prevented us from contacting them. ”

"Oh, do you think it was done for nothing?"

"It's unlikely, when I sent someone to deliver the letter, Bai Zixiang had just escorted Qin Yu back to the capital, and Yudang Mountain was hundreds of miles away from Anlin, and he couldn't do it anyway. ”

"And you suspect who did it?"

He Pei shook his head and said, "It's not clear, but I think that after so many days, my eldest brother has not received any news from us, and he will definitely send someone to check, and if he hasn't received the news for a long time, he will definitely come back to check it in person." ”

"What you say is reasonable, then the top priority now is to defend the royal city, what Fei Cong said is exactly what I am worried about, if they besiege but do not attack, how will we deal with it. ”

"I think Qin Tiancang's advance is not slow, it can be seen from the crossing of the Chen River that their troop strategy is completely based on the information provided by Bai Zixian, when Yundu sent most of the troops to resist Luo Sheng, they forcibly crossed the river and crossed Anlin, attacked from the south lane, attacked me unprepared, and would rather abandon 10,000 infantry troops to attack Wangcheng halfway, the purpose is to aim at a' Hurry, they knew that once Xiao Luo and Chong Wanzhong returned to the defense, they would not be able to win, so they caused the pressure of the soldiers to force us to surrender, but during the day the moon lice could not exert their maximum power, I expected that they would only feint during the day, and they would attack with all their strength at night. ”

"It's too late, it's going to be dark in less than two hours, what are we supposed to do?"

"I killed Fei Cong because he was demagogic and retreated without a fight, and secondly, I wanted to make a fuss at this time to lure Qin Tiancang into the army now. ”

Yelu Jinyun was puzzled: "How can Qin Tiancang enter the army now?"

"Your Excellency might as well release the news, just say that Fei Cong led the ministers to rebel, and forced you to go down to the wilderness in the Chaoyun Pavilion. The king can hang Fei Cong's body in front of the Guiyuan Palace, Qin Tiancang knows that Yundu is infighting, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack the royal city, we will prepare more catapults and arrows, and order the soldiers to condense the true yuan at the end of the arrow, and fight and retreat, lure them deeper, as long as they are lured to the meridian square, I will open the Xuantian Gate and lead the heavenly thunder to destroy them!"

Yelu Jinyun was taken aback, "What! The fifteenth period has long passed, if you want to sacrifice the Xuantian Gate again, you will be hit by ten thousand thunders, this monarch sees that you must want to die with the moon lice pioneer camp! ”

"Your Majesty, opening the Xuantian Gate is not trivial, I know that my ability is not enough but I am willing to take a risk, the Lord is the lord of a state, Yundu will be greatly injured after this vicious battle, and it will be necessary for the king to recover in the future, what is the pity of sacrificing me He Pei? ”

"It seems that you still care about him, I like this person very much, when it comes to being a frank person, no one dares to admit the first, he is a bright and upright man, I originally wanted to match your marriage, but I don't know what He Sitian thought in his heart, just now I heard what you said, only to know that it was Lang Youqing, the concubine was intentional, if so, this monarch can not let He Sitian take risks, it is better to open the Xuantian Gate by this monarch, Yundu will not perish as long as the Jiali Temple and the Meridian Altar are preserved, and this monarch can be blind even if he dies. ”

"Your Majesty, you can't do this! It's still the most appropriate for a little girl to go!"

"This monarch's intention has been decided, don't say it again, I am the king, you are a minister, you only have the part of obedience, what qualifications do you have to persuade this monarch, this monarch now orders you to lead the crowd to ambush in the deep palace, wait until Qin Tiancang is introduced into the royal city, you use arrows and catapults to block the retreat of the moon lice, this monarch will go to open the Xuantian Gate, this monarch is determined to let these invaders have no return!"

Yelu Jinyun's sentences were sonorous, and his eyebrows were heroic, He Pei still wanted to refute, but he was suppressed by Yelu Jinyun's majesty, and he suddenly didn't know how to speak, so he had to kneel down and receive his life.

Let's say that after Qin Tiancang bypassed An Lin and took the South Lane, he was very complacent, and took the South Lane without blood, as long as he waited until the sky darkened, he could directly take the royal city, the goddess of victory was already beckoning to him, and the shame of twenty years ago could be erased in one fell swoop tonight, he had been worried countless times that he stood in the Guiyuan Palace, and let Yelu Jinyun surrender at his feet, this situation, how to relieve his anger!

Qin Tiancang was sighing with emotion, Cui Shang opened the Luo tent and walked in, and Qin Tiancang hurriedly greeted him.

"Cui Shang, how is the movement over there in Yundu?"

"Back to the king, according to the spies' report, the guards of Yundu have withdrawn to the royal city, it seems that they have found that our army has taken a detour to the south lane, and is shrinking its forces to make a stubborn resistance, but there is a sentry in front of the Guiyuan Hall who found a person's body hanging in front of the main hall, can the king know who this person is?"

Qin Tiancang shook his head and urged Cui Shang not to sell Guanzi, Cui Shang said brightly: "Twenty years ago, Yundu occupied Hengyang City, and one person led by me cut off the pennant of Rizhao Country, didn't the king say that he must dig out this person's bones and heart in the future, why don't you remember?"

"Oh, it turned out to be Fei Cong, Benjun suffered this great humiliation back then, so he secretly swore in his heart that he must kill this person with his own hands, but he didn't expect that he had been executed by Yelu Jinyun, but I don't know what crime Fei Cong committed?

"I heard that Fei Cong incited the ministers to force Yelu Jinyun to force the palace in the Guiyuan Palace, and asked him to abdicate and surrender, Yelu Jinyun refused to listen, and killed Fei Cong on the spot, and the rest of the Wenchen were all imprisoned, and their whereabouts are still unknown. ”

Qin Tiancang raised his head and laughed and said: "Yelu Jinyun, Yelu Jinyun, you have spent your life in vain, but I didn't expect to end up with a rebellion and a relative!

"Your Majesty, shouldn't the original plan be to wait for the army to march at night, it is daytime now, and it is only inappropriate to rush into the army. ”

Qin Tiancang let out a hearty laugh, Cui Shang hadn't heard Qin Tiancang have such a comfortable and hearty laugh for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is the king laughing?"

"Ben Jun laughs at Cui Shang, you don't know how to fight for time and profit, Fei Cong, as the head of Yundu Wenchen, took the lead against Yelu Jinyun, Yelu Jinyun cleared the civil strife, this must be the moment when the six gods have no owner, plus Fei Cong's ambush, everyone in Yundu must be in danger, and now if you don't use soldiers, wouldn't it be a waste of time to miss the opportunity?

Cui Shang said worriedly: "Having said that, the subordinates are only afraid..."

"What are you afraid of..."

"The moon lice are not powerful enough during the day, and the subordinates are worried that once the battle is engaged, the moon lice pioneer battalion will be defeated. ”

Qin Tiancang said with a smile: "There are only Yelu Jinyun and He Pei left in the Yundu King City, and the rest of the soldiers are not the opponents of the Moon Lice Beast at all, so there is no need to worry, even if it is daytime, although the attack of the Moon Lice has been greatly reduced, but the defense power has not been attenuated, Yelu Jinyun and He Pei are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg against the entire Moon Lice Pioneer Battalion." But if we wait for two more hours, the fighter plane is changing rapidly, and it is likely that Yelu Jinyun will quell the civil strife, or the defenders of Yutang Mountain will come to help, then we will fall into passivity. ”

"It's... Then obey the will of the king, and I will give the order to attack at once. ”

Cui Shang felt that there was no reason to refuse, in his opinion, now is really a great opportunity to attack, he may be too cautious, in fact, from the beginning of the army, he has been careful to advise the king to use troops, but in fact, the obstacles encountered are all resolved one by one, the so-called taking advantage of the trend, probably means that facing difficulties can also turn danger into relief.
