It was dark outside the Yi Zheng Hall, and the atmosphere inside the Yi Zheng Hall was anything but relaxed. The two groups of people were facing each other tit for tat, both eager to eat each other alive. Although there was no fighting, the atmosphere seemed to be more solidified and tense than outside the government hall.
After a while of drinking tea, Wu Daozi frowned and whispered to Xu Wenchuan, "My lord, do you think it's a little strange? Listening to this movement, the two sides seemed to be in a stalemate, and it seemed hard to tell the winner." Wu Daozi. As Daozi spoke, he pursed his lips calmly toward the outside of the palace.
Xu Wenchuan was also a soldier for half his life and had experienced hundreds of battles. He didn't pay attention at first. At this time, under Wu Daozi's reminder, he listened carefully and heard something unusual. He nodded to Wu Daozi and agreed with his analysis.
Xu Wenchuan nodded, and Wu Daozi said with some surprise, "The Fengxiang Guards are already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and their combat effectiveness is even lower than that of the Black Armored Guards. How could they fall into a stalemate? This seems a bit unreasonable."
"This kid Xinyi is amazing! If she hadn't fought tooth and nail, how could she have fought the black-armored guards to this point?" Xu Wenchuan made no secret of his admiration for Tang Xinyi, nodding and sighing.
"Yes! Although there are only 10,000 Fengxiang Guards, they are all loyal! It's a pity that such a powerful force, if they fight today, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they won't be able to escape the fate of being annihilated." Wu Daozi looked heartbroken, He kept shaking his head.
Xu Wenchuan didn't answer. His heart, like Wu Daozi's, seemed to be filled with as much weight as lead water.
"What happened? Haven't Fengxiang Guards been wiped out yet?" After another cup of tea, this time it was Qiu Wanli's turn that he couldn't sit still and shouted with a bit of impatience.
He Zhen hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering look on his face and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. This dog will jump over the wall when he is anxious, let alone a human? I thought that Tang Xinyi and her Fengxiang Guards have been forced in In order to survive, they have no choice but to fight to the death, and it is understandable that they will not be able to take it down for a while, so please be patient, Your Majesty!"
Qiu Wanli nodded and then sat back on the Grand Master's chair.
After another cup of tea, the shouts of death outside the political hall finally began to weaken. The people in the hall are all well-informed people, and they naturally know that the winner has been decided outside the political hall. For a moment, everyone became nervous, especially Hu Jingqi, Wu Daozi, and Princess Baidie.
Xu Wenchuan looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was constantly stirring up troubles.
He originally thought that if Tang Xinyi led the Fengxiang Guards to withstand the Black Armored Guards' attack and delayed for some time, Wandong would suddenly descend from the sky, turn the tide and completely defeat Qiu Wanli's conspiracy. But now, all of this has come to nothing, and hope has been completely extinguished. How can Xu Wenchuan calm down
"You brat, are you really going to let me down this time?" Xu Wenchuan shook his head and murmured softly, with a bitter taste written all over his face.
Although Xu Wenchuan himself knew that it was somewhat unreliable to pin the hopes of the entire Qingyun Empire on a young man who was no more than twenty years old, he could not help but think so. And whenever he thinks like this, it always makes him feel a little at ease.
"My lord, what did you say?" Hu Jingqi came forward and asked in a low voice.
Xu Wenchuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "It's nothing."
Hu Jingqi didn't take it seriously and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the winner should have been decided outside. Your Highness, I leave it to you!"
"You..." Xu Wenchuan looked up at Hu Jingqi and Wu Daozi, his eyes slightly blurred.
"At this time, do you still hope to leave alive?" He Zhen looked at Xu Wenchuan and others with a sneer as if he was sure of victory.
"He Zhen, you are so ungrateful, aren't you afraid of embarrassing your ancestors?" Xu Wenchuan shouted with hatred.
"Assisting the National Preceptor, ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor, and achieving great achievements, that is my supreme honor! My ancestors of the He family are only proud to have descendants like me, how can they feel ashamed? You, on the other hand, are so obsessed with it. , but it hurts your ancestors!”
"He Zhen, they are all dying, why bother talking to them?" Qiu Wanli said with a sneer.
"That's what the emperor said! It's really boring to waste words with them!"
After everyone finished speaking a few words, the shouts of killing were completely gone outside the political hall, which meant that the war had come to an end.
Qiu Wanli stood up, looked at Xu Wenchuan and said, "Your Thunder Collapse Technique is indeed magical, but I wonder if it can allow you to fight one against ten thousand?"
"Shameless thief! If you want to be considered a man, then fight to the death with me!"
Wan Dong did not appear, and Wu Jinhun and his army remained silent for a long time. Xu Wenchuan was almost completely desperate at this time. He just thought that before he died, if he could fight Qiu Wanli happily for three hundred rounds and then die together with him, then he would be satisfied.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Wanli was the most cunning. He could see through Xu Wenchuan's thoughts at a glance. He sneered a few times and curled his lips and said, "I am a noble person, but you are just a prisoner. You take your life lightly. What's the point?" Are you qualified to fight me to the death?”
"Courageless bandits!" Xu Wenchuan cursed angrily.
Not only was Qiu Wanli not annoyed, but he was smiling all over his face and said faintly, "If you want to scold me, just scold me as much as you want! Anyway, besides this, you can't do anything else."
"Not necessarily!" As soon as Qiu Wanli finished speaking, a clear rebuke suddenly came from outside the hall.
Everyone looked back and saw that although Tang Xinyi was covered in blood, she was walking slowly with her head held high and her chest upright, with a lively look on her face.
"Xin... Xinyi!?" Seeing Tang Xinyi's figure, Princess Baidie couldn't control herself. She exclaimed, cried with joy, covered her mouth and started sobbing.
Xu Wenchuan, Hu Jingqi, Wu Daozi and others could not help but look at each other, their faces full of joy and surprise. According to common sense, the person walking in with his head held high at this time should be Qiu Yunchong. How could it be Tang Xinyi
Could it be said that the Fengxiang Guards defeated the many with less, and used the weak to bully the strong, and defeated the black armored guards led by Qiu Yunchong? Of course Xu Wenchuan hopes so, but deep down in his heart he knows very well that this possibility is almost infinitely small and tends to zero.
Xu Wenchuan stared blankly at Tang Xinyi who walked in. He opened his mouth several times and wanted to say something, but he never came out. In Xu Wenchuan's life, this was really the first time for him to experience something like this.
"How could it be you?" Qiu Wanli's surprise was no less than that of Princess Baidie, Xu Wenchuan and the others, or even more so. He couldn't help but pointed at Tang Xinyi and shouted, his voice obviously trembling. Obviously, Qiu Wanli was not only surprised, but also a little confused.
Tang Xinyi sneered at Qiu Wanli, but didn't say anything. He came directly in front of Princess Baidie, put the helmet under his arm, knelt down on one knee, and reported in a clear and melodious voice, "Princess Qi, the rebel leader Qiu Yunchong led the black armored guards, a total of more than 20,000 people. , they have all been executed outside the palace!”
"What!?" As soon as Tang Xinyi said this, Princess Baidie couldn't help but feel in a trance, feeling like she was in a dream that she couldn't believe.
Tang Xinyi showed a bright smile to Princess Baidie, and winked a little playfully. Only then did Princess Baidie believe that what Tang Xinyi said was true, and she was not in a dream.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Princess Baidie was about to help Tang Xinyi up in person, when Qiu Wanli suddenly rushed towards Tang Xinyi as if going crazy.
"Qiu Wanli, what do you want to do!?" Xu Wenchuan's reaction was not slow. He stood up and stood in front of Tang Xinyi, blocking Qiu Wanli from a foot away.
Qiu Wanli ignored Xu Wenchuan and just stared at Tang Xinyi, gritting his teeth and said, "Impossible! How can Fengxiang Guards be the opponent of Black Armored Guards? What's more, the Black Armored Guards are twice as powerful as you! This is absolutely impossible!" impossible!"
Although Qiu Wanli was hateful, the questions he asked at this moment really hit Xu Wenchuan's heart. Like Qiu Wanli, he was also eager to know the answer to this question.
Tang Xinyi chuckled a few times and said, "Only our Fengxiang Guards are no match for the Black Armored Guards, but we have reinforcements."
"Reinforcements? I have all the troops in Yunzhong City under my control! Even the disobedient Wu Jinhun should be dead by now. Where did you get the reinforcements?" Qiu Wanli didn't believe what Tang Xinyi said at all. , waving his hands and shouting.
"Giggle... Hey, isn't it them?" Just when Qiu Wanli was hysterical and everyone was puzzled, Tang Xinyi suddenly pointed outside the Yizheng Hall and smiled happily.
"who is it?"
Everyone immediately followed what Tang Xinyi pointed out and turned their heads to look over. I saw a row of seven young generals wearing silver armor, heroic and energetic, coming side by side with their heads held high.
Although the seven young generals are not very old, and there are both men and women, their momentum walking side by side is like that of thousands of troops. Their momentum is overwhelming and cannot be underestimated.
When he first saw these seven outstanding young generals, even Qiu Wanli's eyes lit up and he praised them several times in his heart!
Although Qiu Wanli is cunning and cruel, he is also a man who is thirsty for talents. Otherwise, he would not have put so much thought into recruiting Luo Xiao.
"Is... it's them!?" The eyes of Xu Wenchuan, Hu Jingqi, Wu Daozi, Princess Baidie and others all lit up. All of them had their mouths opened, and their faces were filled with unspeakable surprise and excitement. Among them, Hu Jingqi was the most outstanding. At this time, tears shone faintly in a pair of tiger eyes.
Is there any father in the world who is not proud of his son? When Hu Jingqi saw the shining tiger leaping in silver armor, the indescribable pride, glory, and satisfaction instantly filled his heart.
Hu Jingqi was not good at drinking, but at this moment, he really wished he could come to his senses, get drunk with his son instead of others, and then cry happily while hugging his head! (To be continued)
