"Oh! How could the food and grass be delivered so quickly?"

The canal has never been so lively. The two fleets from the north and the south meet at Dayan Bay on the border of the country of Xi, filling the entire harbor densely. When Jin Bihui saw the red sun and blue sea flag on the southern fleet, he was overjoyed, jumped up, and shouted to Shen Tiexin: "Brother brought the fleet here! Brother, brother actually delivered the food and grass himself!"

The smile of the woman in red is like a flower in full bloom, bright and radiant.

Shouting and laughing, Jin Bihui forgot to even mention the skirt, and jumped out of the cabin, but her feet stepped on the front skirt, almost staggered and fell, she suddenly became angry, and tore off half of the skirt.

"Hey, why did you still have this virtue after you got married?" Suddenly, he heard someone laughing and asked next to his ear, and he was hit hard on his shoulder. , the water-dividing dagger shot out like an electric shock: "Bah! Marrying is not reincarnation, why do you want me to change my face?"

"Zheng", the small dagger trembled slightly between the man's rough fingers, and the tall chestnut-skinned man suddenly laughed: "Ha, it seems that Dad finally miscalculated once! Fifth sister, you will change it even if you kill him!" I no longer have the temper of a man-in-law."

"Third brother! Why did dad let you come here from the South China Sea?" The woman in red shouted joyfully, jumped over and took her brother's hand, and put her head on her brother's chest coquettishly like a child, and then came out Shen The deputy general was dumbfounded.

It turned out that this tall man with bronze-colored lustrous skin exposed to the scorching sun was Suan Ni, the third son of Sea King and known as the King of the South China Sea. Since Sea King returned to the land to take care of himself, his four sons have inherited his sea business, and they are respectively in charge of the four fleets.

"Not only I'm here, but also the boss and the second child are here!" Suan Ni's smile stopped abruptly, and she patted the younger sister's shoulder, "Don't ask why we all came here—you know, dad this time ...seriously."

"Seriously? Seriously?" Jin Bihui raised his head inexplicably, looking at the third brother's face.

Thick eyebrows were furrowed, Suan Ni rested her hand on her younger sister's shoulder, and said word by word: "Father really wants you to be the Empress of Li Kingdom!"

The woman in red was startled suddenly, she jumped away like an electric shock, and stared at her brother in disbelief: "You, are you crazy?"

"What's crazy... Isn't this what should be done? What kind of person is my father! The four brothers are all rich in the world, and even the aunt is the mother of the country of Xi. You are our sister, why should you be the only one left behind?" Suan Ni raised her eyebrows. , looking contemptuously, "Father has always loved you the most, and it's not like you don't know that - this time I chose a husband-in-law for you, and I want to give you Liguo as a dowry!"

"Nonsense! Sowing dissension, what is your intention?" Shen Tiexin finally couldn't help shouting angrily. Such words are simply blatantly provoking His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to rebel against the Crown Prince! —Fortunately, he brought soldiers from the left army this time. If the prince's subordinates listened to him, wouldn't Prince Xueya be jealous

"Brother, shut up! Why didn't you ask my opinion for such a messy arrangement?!" Jin Bihui also became stubborn, with his hands on his hips, glaring at the third brother.

Suan Ni was taken aback, seeing that the little girl was really angry, her tone suddenly softened, and she said with a smile: "Ah, ah... Actually, it's for your own good that Dad planned this..." He paused, and looked at him full of hostility Shen Tiexin, who was standing by the knife, said loudly: "General Shen, think about it—compared with Prince Xueya and Prince Chengde, which one is the wise king in troubled times? If Xueya were replaced as the prince, Li Kingdom would have been unified by now I can't even tell!"

Shen Tiexin's heart also moved slightly: It's not that he has never had this kind of thought, but no matter from which point of view, this kind of thought is outrageous. So every time it appears, I forcefully press it down.

"Tell you, whether that guy Yan Bai is suitable to be an emperor is one thing, but whether he is willing to be an emperor is another matter!" Still unrelenting, Jin Bihui glared at Suan Ni.

Suan Ni laughed loudly: "No way...Little sister, you've only been married for a few days, and your arm is abducted?"

He laughed and saw Jin Bihui blushing with gritted teeth, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to come over to beat him, but his face sank: "Wait a minute. Listen to me—we were only transporting food and grass this time, and we haven't used any troops yet." plan. But, do you know why the boss and the second are not here at this moment?"

"Why?" Jin Bihui was stunned, and blurted out.

Suan Ni looked at the northern sky, and said slowly: "Late last night, I received a letter from Neiying Feige: Prince Chengde suspects the seventh prince Yan Bai, and is ready to kill! About today, I will find an opportunity to borrow the hand of the rebels." kill him-"

Jin Bihui was stunned when he heard that, remembering Prince Chengde's usual gentle and calm demeanor, blurted out: "Nonsense! No way!"

Suan Ni sneered, looked at Shen Tiexin, and saw that his face was ashen, but he didn't say anything to refute - this experienced general obviously knew that this matter was not only completely possible, but also how likely it was!

Suan Ni Fu Gang raised his eyebrows: "It's like fighting a fire. When the news arrived last night, we discussed it. The boss and the second immediately divided up and went north. The second went around Yecheng and went straight to Longshouyuan to rescue my brother-in-law. The boss went back to the sea and left. Jiang went deep into the territory, and turned back Fang Chaofeng, the fourth uncle! Only I was left with grain and grass and continued up the canal to meet you."

Jin Bihui stared blankly at the third brother's cautious expression, then at Shen Tiexin's ashen face, slowly clenched his hands, unable to say anything.

"Little sister... you have to remember: even if the second child goes too late, even if, even if you become a widow... the brothers will not leave you alone." Suan Ni's hand pressed her shoulder hard, shaking it heavily She has pity in her eyes.

However, when he saw the girl's eyes suddenly go blank, he was startled, and quickly comforted him: "There must be time! The second child is always fast, and he must make it to Longshouyuan in time! Don't be afraid...don't be afraid!"

"I... I'm not afraid." Jin Bihui muttered to himself, but his eyes slowly gathered together, sharp as needles, "I'm not afraid!"

With a sudden struggle, she got out of Suan Ni's hand, stepped back a few steps, flipped over the side of the boat, and jumped onto the river bank. Looking up at his elder brother: "Third brother! Lend me your dragon horse! I'm going to Ye City!"

"Shua", when the black iron long arrow came, Yan Bai immediately leaned back, but the bitter wind still pierced his neck with pain, he leaned back on the saddle, but the mount did not move at all. Stop, and run towards the enemy's central army at high speed.

Before he straightened up, he heard two more roars in the air, knowing that Sun Zhiquan's iron arrows were hitting him without a break, he felt a surge of pride in his heart. He drew his sword with his backhand and saw the direction of the arrow. The blade scraped along the shaft of the iron arrow, making an ear-piercing sound.

With a sound of "ding", a strong force surged, and he felt a shock in his wrist, and the arrow's tail feather had already touched the blade of the sword.

The arrow's going slowed down, he turned his wrist, and quickly caught the arrow, before the fourth arrow hit, he let out a clear whistle, grabbed the bow beside the saddle, and the arrow bounced off Sun Zhiquan.

Sun Zhiquan saw that the arrow did not come very quickly, so he swung his whip and struck it away. However, the strength contained in the arrow was a bit strange, it didn't shoot down after the blow, it just missed it, and wiped a bruise on the general's face. A bloodstain.

With just such a resistance, the line of cavalry has approached tens of feet.

Seeing the leading rider galloping towards him, with sword energy like frost, invincible, Sun Zhiquan wiped off the blood on his cheek, and coldly ordered: "Give me an order to gather two hundred archers and shoot Yanbai for me! The rest will come People, don't worry about it!"

"Decree!" The herald hurried away.

Sun Zhiquan raised his hand again, and beckoned another herald to come forward: "Order the left and right wings to encircle and cut off their way back!"

"Decree!"

It was almost noon, but the sun was submerged by the dim yellow dust, and on the Dragon's Head Plain, there was only strong wind howling.

Sun Tiejian's eyes turned cold - today, he is going to behead the Prince Xueya, who has been said to be invincible in the past ten years, in the chaos!

However, as soon as the left and right wings moved, it was obvious that they understood the opponent's intentions. The knight in silver armor immediately issued an order, and the remaining hundreds of cavalry speeded up obviously—from the very beginning, the few hundred cavalry in this area showed signs of aggression. A precise strategy: Although it is advancing rapidly, the formation has never been slack.

Although there are not many people and horses, and they are constantly attrition in the process of advancing, they are concentrated in one place, but they show surprising strength-like a sharp sword, tearing open the army's mouth and piercing the heart!

Sun Zhiquan saw the flags in front of him in disarray and the shouts one after another, knowing that the opponent was approaching rapidly. And once submerged in one's own formation, the archers originally called would be useless at all. He picked up the arrow again and shouted: "People in front, get out of the way!"

Under the general's order, the soldiers stepped aside one after another and retreated through a gap. Sun Zhiquan saw the young man in white robe and long sword again. He took a deep breath and pulled his bow away.

The distance was gradually approaching, and suddenly, Yan Bai jumped up from the horse's back, touched the shoulders of several soldiers around him with his toes, and after a few jumps, he was several feet closer and fell into the enemy's formation.

The moment he jumped up, Sun Zhiquan seized the perfect opportunity, followed the trajectory of his figure, and shot straight at the helpless man in white in mid-air!

With a strong wind, the black iron arrow shot directly at Yan Bai's shoulders and heart.

Yan Bai swung his sword away from the arrow that was shot first, but the huge force on the arrow still pulled his upward figure to a standstill. In an instant, the other two arrows had already been shot, and he stretched out his foot to catch the arrow that was slightly lower. With a step on it, he jumped up, and reached out to grab the other tail feather, but it was half a beat too late.

With a "poof", the black iron arrow pierced into his waist.

Immediately, bright red flowers bloomed on the white robe.

Sun Zhiquan laughed, and without hesitation, he took a series of shots with his bow, but was suddenly taken aback—he just lowered his head to draw out the arrow, and when he raised his head between the flying banners, he suddenly lost sight of it. The shadow of that white robe and white armor!

Estimated the remaining distance between them when they finally shot Yan Bai, and suddenly knew it was not good, so they immediately rode back and walked back, but suddenly heard the wind whistling in their ears—

He turned his head in horror, and saw the young white-robed general seem to emerge from the ground. He killed a cavalryman with a sword, pushed the corpse off the horse, sat on it himself, picked up the cavalryman's spear, raised his hand and threw it at him. .

Sun Zhiquan had always admired his archery skills all his life, but at this moment he had no time to raise his bow, and watched helplessly as the throwing spear whizzed towards him.

"Yang Ding, you can rest in peace."

The moment the spear pierced his body, Sun Zhiquan suddenly heard someone sigh softly. His eyes bulged with pain, and suddenly he let out a dying laugh.

"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it... I still died in your hands..." He coughed, watching Yan Bai rushing towards the chaotic army, and the sharp sword wiped his neck, he just laughed, "But you , You don’t even want to go back alive!—Your brother betrayed you!”

"Nonsense." Without hesitation at all, Yan Bai rushed over, coldly cut the enemy general's throat with the long sword in his hand, and then stretched out his hand, grabbing the red tassel on the helmet. Bright red blood spurted out, and the head was severed from the body, however, the expression of laughing and gloating was still maintained.

Yan Bai succeeded in one blow, and the long sword swung back, blocking the long spear that greeted him. Hang the head of the enemy general on the side of the saddle, turn the horse's head, and prepare to return quickly.

However, his eyes suddenly froze—

Ye City! The door of Ye City... is closed!

Brother Huang... Brother Huang!

Jin Bihui rode a dragon horse and ran along the canal until his face turned pale.

She leaned on the saddle, and the cold winter wind cut through her head like a knife. Jin Bihui let out a "bah", spat out the strands of hair that had blown into her mouth, and shouted sharply: "Drive! Drive!" She could no longer care about the third brother's unparalleled BMW, and slammed her spurs into the horse Afterwards, the steed suffered from pain and ran with all four hooves flying into the air. The surrounding scenery roared past, and it has stretched into one piece.

She didn't know why her hands were shaking, and the cold sweat wet the reins she was holding in her hands.

Thinking of the crowned and broad-sleeved Prince Chengde when he left the city yesterday, and his gentle detachment all the time, Jin Bihui felt the coldness in his heart - although she was not good at strategy, she was also very smart. Thinking back now, if Prince Chengde had thought of getting rid of his younger brother long ago, how long has this plan been brewing

"Brothers and sisters, Si Tianjian reported that there is a meteor shower in Longshouyuan tonight." That evening, he mentioned it inadvertently.

"Since it's inconvenient for the seventh brother to leave, we can ask Vice General Shen to lead the elite soldiers of the right army to collect food and grass, so that we don't have to worry about the safety of our younger brothers and sisters."

First, they searched for an opportunity to stir up a conflict between their husband and wife, but if they failed, they decided to kill themselves, and first took the opportunity to mobilize Yan Bai's confidants and troops loyal to him—such a poisonous plan, it is obviously impossible to come up with it in a short time . Prince Chengde's party obviously had murderous intentions towards this younger brother for a long time.

Now it seems that he has fallen into the opponent's scheme step by step and made a pawn.

Jin Bihui's eyes narrowed coldly, flashing a blade-like light, but his hands didn't stop, urging the horse forward.

Don't be too late! Second brother... Please come quickly, don't be too late!
