On the one hand, the king felt sorry for "Concubine Xue" going to die in vain, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Yan Li, the emperor of the Great Jing Kingdom, would blame him, so he quickly ordered: "Go to the tower quickly, and send as many archers as you can to protect Concubine Xue's safety." !"
"yes!"
The guards took the king's order and hurried away.
The king was walking back and forth anxiously in the imperial study, and really hoped that the "Concubine Xue Gui" brought him no bad news.
Rong Changan wore silver armor and a thick scarlet cloak without a helmet, and with a soft sword in his hand, he came to the Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of the palace.
"Open the city gate!" Although the voice was a little delicate, the aura was very strong.
The guards guarding the city gate are a little ignorant. There are thousands of rebels outside. If you go out as a noble concubine, doesn't it mean that a sheep is in the mouth of a tiger
"Open... open the city gate?" The guard felt that he had heard it wrong.
However, Rong Changan's sonorous words told them that they heard it right: "Open the city gate, I want to go out and meet those clamoring rebels!"
The guards looked at each other in blank dismay: "This..."
Rong Changan didn't wait for them to open the door, he opened his lips, opened his teeth, and shouted "drive", the white war horse roared, and rushed to the gate of the city.
A white light flashed across, like a beautiful rainbow, and with a bang, the door closed.
"There are soldiers who are not afraid of death, come out with me, and destroy the arrogance of the rebels!"
The guards whispered.
Some said: "There are so many rebels out there, wouldn't going out be equivalent to dying? She ran, we are not stupid."
"That's right, let's hide behind the city gate!"
Those who are generous are not afraid of death.
"Concubine Xue Gui is not from the Tianchi country, but she is a woman. In order to protect the king, she has no regard for life and death! As men, if we hide behind the city gate, don't we feel ashamed? Damn, even if I die, I will not be a coward! Xue Concubine, I will go out with you!"
As soon as this person shouted, as the saying goes, many guards shouted loudly:
"I go!"
"I'll go as well!"
"At worst, I will die. Eighteen years later, I will be a good man again!"
In an instant, more than a thousand people were willing to go out with Rong Changan. Rong Changan felt warm in his heart.
"The thousand people go out with me, and the rest of them bring their bows and arrows and prepare their antlers. When we retreat, if there are rebels following us, shoot arrows immediately to prevent them from approaching the moat!" Rong Changan suddenly raised his voice, slightly With a little hoarseness, "Do you understand?"
"Everything is under the command of Imperial Concubine Xue!" The high-pitched voice showed that most of the guards were very motivated.
A satisfied smile appeared on Rong Changan's resolute face, and she swung the soft sword above her head in a lotus dance: "The drums and horns sound, and the warriors follow me out of the city!"
Creaking, the thick city gate studded with countless rivets was opened clumsily, and warm sunlight shone in from the opening. Countless dust rippled in the sunlight, as if it was the bodies of Rong Changan and those more than a thousand warriors who were boiling with blood.
The rapid drum horn not only exaggerates the chilling atmosphere of the battlefield, but also ignites the fighting spirit of the warriors.
"Woo..."
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The white war horses kicked the ground, and the apricot-yellow battle flags formed a daunting city wall outside the city gate. The rebels took a closer look, the horizontal sword was in their chest, and the one riding in front was not a giant with a leopard head, ring eyes, and a thick back, but a beautiful girl, and the orange light of winter was hazy on her body Gold makes people feel dreamy and unreal.
Is she a fairy who fell from the sky? Or a female Rakshasa from hell? If female Rakshasa can be so beautiful, it will really refresh people's understanding of devils.
The leader of the rebel army who scolded the formation was a confidant of the prince. When he saw "Concubine Xue", there was some disdain and contempt at the corners of his mouth, and he smiled:
"Why, is there no man around the king who can fight? Isn't he ashamed to send you a foreign woman?"
Rong Changan was relieved that the opponent underestimated the enemy so much. Anyone who underestimates the enemy will never fail to win a battle.
"It's not that the king doesn't have any generals who are good at fighting. It's that he thinks that sending me a woman is more than enough to deal with you youngsters. After you defeat me, you can challenge other generals."
The prince's confidant sat crookedly on the horseback, his eyes were a bit wretched: "Concubine Xue, if I hurt you a little bit, I will feel really uncomfortable! Now the king is already a turtle in the urn, and he will surrender to the prince sooner or later." What good is it for you to help him? Why don’t you surrender to the prince, and the prince will accept you as a concubine, saving you from traveling thousands of miles back to Dajing Kingdom!”
As soon as this remark came out, the rebels laughed. On the other hand, on Rong Changan's side, all the sergeants were very angry.
Rong Changan thought: If I don't kill you, the soldiers guarding the palace will be ashamed to death!
"Why are you talking so much? You look like a woman who can speak well, without any real skills. If you have the skills, come and fight with me in two moves. If I can't kill you within three moves, I will dismount and surrender. .”
The prince's confidant heard this, and his lungs exploded with anger: "Oh, you are such a delicate little lady, you are so arrogant, you really don't know how to be so arrogant! Then I will come and teach you a few tricks, and if I reach out and touch you later , don't kill yourself in shame and indignation! Hehehe!"
"Then in order not to let you touch my face, I had no choice but to cut off your hand!"
As soon as the words fell, Rong Changan's white horse jumped out and ran towards the prince's confidant.
The prince's confidant sat on the horse, joking with the rebels next to him, not paying attention to "Concubine Xue".
When Rong Changan was close at hand, he wanted to draw his sword to block, but it was too late: he wrongly estimated the speed of "Concubine Xue Gui"'s sword attack! The soft sword as thin as a bamboo leaf slashed across the opponent's Adam's apple, leaving almost no wounds. The two horses passed by, and the prince's confidant swayed on the horse. He still wanted to turn his head to see what "Concubine Xue" was like. How could such a beautiful woman draw a sword so quickly, but his expression froze, and he fell into the dust with a plop. The horse was frightened and galloped back to the rebel camp.
The few remaining rebels who were yelling and scolding were scared out of their wits, and they also hurriedly turned their horses and ran back to the camp. Rong Changan's white horse turned around twice beside the dead body, pointed at the rebels and said:
"Anyone who is not afraid of death can come up and compete with me!"
After waiting for a long time, the rebel camp was as silent as stagnant water. Rong Changan raised the corner of his mouth and drew his sword back to its sheath: "Warriors, return to the palace!"
The soldiers opened a path and let Rong Changan walk through them, and then more than a thousand people cheered and swaggered back to the palace. Another creaking sound was heard, and the north gate of the palace closed again. It's just that when Rong Chang'an went out, he cut off the pass, and the guards had to replace it with another pass.
Li Hao was behind the rebel camp, and when he heard the drums beating in front of the camp, he wanted to send someone to inquire about the news: "Go and see ahead, is there someone from the palace coming out to fight?"
Vice General Yu had just been defeated by him, he didn't believe that the royal guards dared to come out and suffer death.
Before the man walked out of the tent, someone ran over before the battle, panting, with sweat on his forehead, he knelt down in front of Li Hao.
"Report...report to the general, it's not good, we went to summon the prince's confidant, who was..." He swallowed, "Killed by Concubine Xue!"
What Li Hao's eyes shot out was not fear, but joy: "Very well, she finally came out! I'm waiting for her!" He immediately ordered, "Take my war horse, I'm going to meet Concubine Xue for a while!"
The person who came to report the letter knelt on the ground and couldn't get up: "General Li, Concubine Xue Gui has gone back to the palace!"
Li Hao had already walked to the gate of the camp. Hearing this, his eyes turned scarlet.
"She killed someone and went back to the palace?"
The messenger nodded: "Yes."
An unbelievable smile appeared on the corner of Li Hao's mouth: "You just let her go back like this?"
