Nangong Yue and Han Qixia looked at Sun Xinyi quietly, no one wanted to reprimand or refute her.
Sun Xinyi is just saving others by herself. How would she know what happened to other people, how would she know that Nangong Yue and Han Qixia had encountered life-threatening crises time and time again, but their choices were different.
Sun Xinyi is the daughter of Sun Shoubei, and she must have studied for a few years since she was a child; the Sun family is full of loyalty, and she must have taught her what it means to be polite, righteous, honest, filial, loyal and trustworthy. Self-interest, for selfishness, she can do anything and everything, what's the difference between her and those beasts in the mountains and forests
Let me ask, how can a man reason with a beast? !
Tiger poison doesn't even eat its offspring, even Xiao Hui knows how to rescue the young eagle Han Yu that has fallen into the bird's nest, but Sun Xinyi is willing to kill her own nephew just to survive, what can he say with such a person? ! What more to say!
Talking about justice with her will only make her feel stupid.
It's not speculative, just half a sentence, they and Sun Xinyi are like this.
At this moment, the main door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and the "squeak" sound of opening the door attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a few people standing outside the door, the leader was Guan Yubai who was dressed in a moon white robe, and beside him was a man in black with long hair loosely tied behind his head, with a casual smile on his handsome face , it is Guan Yubai's good friend Si Lin. Behind the two, there are several people following, men and women.
"Hou... Lord Hou!"
Sun Xinyi blurted out in surprise, the son went to war, Marquis An Yi's attempt to seize power has already caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers in the army recently, Sun Xinyi often went to the wounded barracks, and many seniors in the army did not regard her as an outsider. Also heard one or two. She always thought that Nangong Yue, as the concubine, would be wary of An Yihou, but she didn't want Nangong Yue to tell An Yihou about herself, what was Nangong Yue thinking
Sun Xinyi was momentarily at a loss.
Then, Sun Xinyi noticed that there were two young women behind Guan Yubai. They were dressed like a master and a servant. The young lady wore a dignified peony bun. She had fair skin and a beautiful appearance. The pink twig patterned beanie looks elegant and elegant, and I don't know which wife it is... Sun Xinyi can be sure that she has never seen this person before, but she doesn't know why she feels that the other person's attire looks familiar.
wait a minute!
Sun Xinyi thought of something, and glanced at Nangong Yue again. She seemed to have guessed something in her heart, but then it disappeared in a flash.
Guan Yubai's eyes only stayed on Sun Xinyi for a moment, then moved away.
Nangong Yue and Han Qixia might feel sorry for Sun Xinyi's behavior, but for Guan Yubai who has been on the battlefield for many years, he has seen countless human natures that have been tested in the face of war and death, and many seemingly kind people on weekdays Before the choice between life and death, Sun Xinyi is just one of them who will bow down in an instant or even degenerate into a demon.
Without saying anything to Sun Xinyi, after he made a gesture, Feng Xing and a middle-aged woman came to her, and Feng Xing said with a smile: "Miss Sun, please."
The reason why they had discovered that Sun Xinyi was weird a long time ago but never revealed it was because she was still useful. But now, in this play, the part that belongs to Sun Xinyi has come to an end, and it's time for her to end too. Sun Xinyi's crime is unforgivable, but now that Nanliang is under pressure, a little Sun Xinyi naturally cannot be compared with millions of people in southern Xinjiang, and it will be her turn when the war comes.
Sun Xinyi took a deep breath, and wanted to ask the other party what he was going to do to her, but when the words came to her lips, she felt extremely ridiculous. What else? It's just a winner and a loser. Thinking about it again, everything in the past six months has been like a dream, and in the end, Sun Peiling's life is only in exchange for this short half year of living in the world...
Sun Xinyi and her maid Caiwei were taken out of the house, and then "respectfully sent" to a carriage.
The moment she got into the car, Sun Xinyi couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the house again, and saw that the man in black who was standing next to Guan Yubai was walking towards the lifeless Nanliang spy...
What does An Yihou want to do
Her eyes were half down, and she paused for a moment. What does it matter to her? She couldn't escape death after all.
She let go of her thoughts and got into the carriage with a dull expression.
The carriage drove away slowly, and no one in the house cared about Sun Xinyi anymore...
As time passed, the sun rose higher and higher, and both sides of the gate of Yanding City were covered in darkness.
Outside the city, tens of thousands of Nanliang troops in copper helmets and iron armor are less than one mile away from Yanding City. From the city wall, they are densely packed and moving human heads, like locusts crossing the border, full of a kind of The chilling atmosphere makes people feel like a hill is pressing down on their hearts just by looking at it from such a distance.
With the sound of orderly and heavy steps, the Nanliang army is getting closer.
Unprecedented tension shrouded the top of the city wall. Every soldier of the Southern Border Army had a cold face, like sharp swords shining with cold light, revealing an awe-inspiring killing intent. At this moment, the mood of all soldiers was It is unanimous, vowing to defend Yanding City to the death, with the determination to bury the bones in the battlefield.
Directly above the city gate, General Zheng Shen, Su Yuming, Li Shoubei, Fu Yunhe, Yu Xingrui and other generals have all arrived. The young generals looked out of the city for a while, and then looked into the city for a while, as if they were looking for something .
Looking at the Nanliang army that was getting closer, Yu Xingrui said solemnly: "There should be 20,000 people, right?" But now there are only 5,000 guards in the city, how can we fight against Nanliang's 20,000 troops? ... Also, the Nanliang army is attacking, and the Cruising Battalion, Xiandeng Battalion, and Selection Front Battalion stationed on the outskirts of Yanding City as a defense have a total strength of nearly 5,000 troops. Why is there no sound? Could it be that something happened to them...
That's five thousand elites!
Yu Xingrui's brows were deeply furrowed, and he and Si Minghua who was beside him glanced at each other, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he was, he was jumping up and down.
Si Minghua gave Yu Xingrui a soothing look, signaling him not to act impulsively.
After enduring and enduring, enduring and enduring, the hot-tempered Yu Xingrui still couldn't help but said to Li Shoubei: "Master Li, why isn't Lord Hou here yet?!"
The faces of the teenagers were all sinking, obviously, they all had the same idea. Now that the son is not in the city, he has entrusted the affairs of the three cities to An Yihou Guan Yubai, but now that the Nanliang army is approaching the city, Yanding City is in danger, and An Yihou is the highest general in the city, where is he? !
He... he couldn't have just run away!
Yu Xingrui couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, he almost wanted to blurt it out, thinking that the barracks "mutiny" was almost caused because of the instigation of the Nanliang spies before, so he clenched his fists and held back.
But no matter what, the battle is about to come, but the commander is missing. It's really a big taboo in the army!
Li Shoubei also had a serious face, with a little cold sweat on his forehead. He exchanged glances with General Zheng and the others, and said in a soothing tone: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to inform Lord Hou, and Lord Hou will be here soon. gone."
Before he finished speaking, Si Minghua pointed at Shunde Street behind the city gate, and raised his voice a little excitedly: "The Marquis An Yi is here!"
For a moment, all the generals on the city wall followed the sound, and saw several tall horses and a carriage galloping towards this side on the street tens of feet away. The gentle man is exactly the official language.
Yu Xingrui and other young generals breathed a sigh of relief, it's better to be late than never, as long as the official language comes in vain.
After a while, Guan Yubai climbed up the city wall with the bamboo one after the other.
"Your Majesty!" All the generals clasped their fists at Guan Yubai and gave a military salute, the atmosphere on the city wall was awe-inspiring.
After Guan Yubai motioned for them to avoid the ceremony, Zheng Shenjiang solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Master Hou, take..."
"Whoosh—"
General Zheng Shen hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by a strange noise from behind. A firework in the city soared into the sky like a shooting star, and it shot straight into the sky in an instant, blooming in the sky like a The giant flowers in full bloom immediately attracted everyone's attention, not only the Southern Border Army in the city, but also the Nanliang Army outside the city.
This firework is like a signal, almost in the next moment, thick black smoke rises from all directions of Yanding City, east of the city, south of the city, west of the city, north of the city, like huge black dragons, faintly visible below A little red flame...
The expressions on everyone's faces became even uglier, and it was unknown who said, "Master Hou, someone must have set the fire!"
As if to verify his words, there was a commotion in the city, and some people could be vaguely heard shouting in panic: "It's flooded, hurry up and put out the fire!"
Once the wooden house was ignited, with the help of the howling wind, the fire spread extremely fast, and soon burned blazingly...
Seeing this, some people in the vicinity rushed to fight the fire, yelling. They can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but at least they can do something within their power.
The sound of shouting, running, splashing water... can be heard endlessly.
In just a blink of an eye, the originally quiet and peaceful Yanding City was already filled with gunpowder, and people were panicking!
All the generals on the city wall looked down at the chaotic Yanding City, filled with righteous indignation.
"Damn it!" Yu Xingrui clenched his fists angrily, "There must be Nanliang spies lurking in the city, and they took the opportunity to set fire to wait for an opportunity to cause chaos, trying to disturb our army's morale!" As he said, his eyes were red with anger, and he clasped his fists to Guan Yubai and pleaded for orders. He said, "Master Hou, please allow the last general to lead a team to fight the fire and capture the spies in Nanliang!"
Before Guan Yubai could speak, another young general vetoed rationally: "Master Hou, the last general thinks it's inappropriate. Now Nanliang's 20,000 troops are overwhelming, and there are only 5,000 troops in the city. It is already very difficult to defend the city gate." Difficult, how can we allocate troops to fight the fire? Now that the city is empty, even if some houses are burned, it is not a problem... It is better to let the people in the city fight the fire by themselves!"
These words are actually not unreasonable, several soldiers around are whispering to each other.
Yu Xingrui was quiet for a while, but he always felt something was wrong. He was about to say more, but Si Minghua pulled his sleeves and gave him a wink to stop him.
Guan Yubai looked at the thickening black smoke everywhere in the city, pursed his thin lips into a straight line, and said slowly: "There are spies from Nanliang in the city, we must send people to put out the fire to reassure the people." His voice was like Gold and jade collided, with a bit of sharpness, "To defend the city, you must not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also the morale of the people."
He said a few words that the generals thought about.
Yes, if the fire is allowed to spread, those Nanliang spies hiding in the dark will fan the flames in the city again, if not done well, it will make the people in the city panic and unstable.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
Guan Yubai looked at Yu Xingrui and Si Minghua, and ordered with a solemn expression: "Yu Xingrui, Si Minghua, this Marquis will order you both to bring fifty troops to the city to fight the fire. If you find anyone acting suspiciously, take them down immediately!" "
"Yes." Yu Xingrui and Si Minghua clasped their fists together and walked down the city wall one after the other along the stone steps...
"Lord Hou!"
At this time, Su Yuming cried out nervously: "The people of Nanliang are on standby."
Everyone hurriedly looked outside the city gate. The Nanliang army had stopped sixty or seventy feet away from the Yanding city gate. Nanliang soldiers began to drive ballistas and catapults one after another. …
It seems that they are going to start attacking the city!
Although An Yihou once had a sand table deduction on how to stick to Yanding City, the premise of that time was that they knew that the Nanliang army was approaching two hours in advance, and there was enough time for An Yihou to make arrangements, and this time, But they didn't even have half an hour left.
To be honest, with 5,000 people against the enemy's 20,000 troops, there is no chance of winning this battle.
What's more, there is no news from Xiao Yi, the eldest son who led the army, or his life and death are uncertain...
All the soldiers on the city wall watched the Nanliang Army's every move without blinking. The atmosphere around them became more and more dignified and depressing. No matter the soldiers or many soldiers in the army, there was a hint of despair in their hearts. I am afraid that the nightmare of the city breaking down half a year ago will happen again!
"Little Four, let them bring him up."
In the silence, Guan Yubai gave a light order, which made all the soldiers focus on Xiaosi.
Xiao Si gestured to the two people under the city wall, and the two men guarding the carriage escorted a disheveled man from the carriage, and after a while, that man was pushed onto the city wall.
This man was tall and strong, his greasy hair fell down in a mess, and his face was covered with fine stubble. He looked slovenly, but he couldn't hide his deep eyebrows and handsome facial features.
This is…
All the soldiers shrank their pupils, they all knew this person—
Langma, the Nine Kings of Nanliang.
That is to say, Marquis An Yi was late just now, could it be that he specially escorted the Nine Kings
The envoys of Nanliang once let go of their bold words, and if they did not return the Nine Kings, they came to the city with troops. Now, the army of Nanliang is indeed approaching the city. Could it be that Marquis An Yi wants to go against the wishes of the eldest son and fail to compromise
Several generals looked at each other, secretly speculating.
Langma walked up the city wall slowly, and then noticed the rattling swords outside the city, and was overjoyed: Great! Their Nanliang army finally came, and now they are saved!
Ever since he failed to hold that woman hostage, he was imprisoned in the death row by the Southern Border Army. It has been more than half a month before he knew it. day…
Langma once thought that Xiao Yi's biggest insult to him was the days when he was a coolie. After he was imprisoned in death row, he realized that it was dark and lonely.
Now, the dawn of hope finally appeared ahead!
The prince of Zhennan, as well as the soldiers and common people of the Southern Border Army in Yanding City, if they want to save their lives, they must beg him!
Langma couldn't help recalling the humiliating scene a few months ago, when Xiao Yi ordered people to attack Yanding City, but he shamelessly pledged himself as a pawn in front of the battle, causing General Ailida who was stationed in Yanding City to be tied up. , was forced to only defend and not attack... Finally, Xiao Yi had a chance to take down Yanding City.
However, now the situation is completely reversed.
It's their turn for the Nanliang army to make a comeback!
Thinking about it, Lang Ma couldn't hide the smug look on his face. He raised his eyes and scanned the soldiers on the city wall, but found that Xiao Yi was not here. At this moment, the generals on the city wall are vaguely headed by a gentle and elegant strange man. This young man seems to be only in his twenties, and he looks like a scholar in terms of appearance and temperament.
Among the generals, he was the only one who didn't have any armor on his body. At first glance, he looked a bit out of the ordinary, but when he looked closely, his temperament was unobtrusive among the generals, as if he was born to belong to the battlefield!
Langma frowned, thinking: Who is this person
Those who can command the generals in the southern border army are naturally not ordinary people, but before he came to southern border, he had checked the famous generals in southern border in detail. Except for Xiao Yi, the son of Zhennan prince, there should be no one among the younger generation. The rank and prestige of a young general is so high that those veterans respect him...
Or, are these veterans obliged to obey
Then, he must not be sent by Emperor Dayu, right? !
If this is the case, given Emperor Dayu's guard against Nanjiang and King Zhennan, it is absolutely impossible for this young son to be completely united with the Nanjiang army. When confronting each other, this is a big taboo.
What's more, no matter who this person is, there are currently 20,000 Nanliang soldiers outside the city, and Yanding City is just a few thousand soldiers at a glance, so what kind of tricks can they play? Yanding City is already theirs Nanliang is the turtle in the urn!
In just a flash, many thoughts flashed through Langma's mind, and she felt more and more that for them Nanliang, now can be said to be the right time, place and people!
Langma was very proud, even if he hadn't spoken yet, this kind of pride and arrogance had already been released.
"Dayu people, I advise you to let me go quickly." Lang Ma said proudly, "Perhaps I can help you speak well in front of our Nanliang coach and let you go when the city is broken." A way out."
Hearing this, the atmosphere on the city wall became cold, and the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, and their eyes couldn't help but focus on Guan Yubai.
Guan Yubai looked towards Langma with a pair of warm eyes, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
For some reason, when she met those seemingly innocuous eyes, Lang Ma felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.
"Kneel down!"
Guan Yubai gave two words, the simple two words sounded plain, but there was an undoubted determination, and the sharpness of a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath.
Langma was startled, and a thought popped into her mind, could it be that this person also wanted to imitate that shameless Xiao Yi, who used himself as a shield to stand on the city wall, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, when he was about to speak, he was escorted up by one of the people behind him. The man in gray kicked his back knee.
Langma let out a cry of pain, and knelt down on the city wall in embarrassment.
In the next moment, Guan Yubai continued to order: "Cut!"
There was silence on the city wall.
Not only Lang Ma couldn't believe his ears, but even the generals on the city wall were dumbfounded.
The generals also thought that Guan Yubai either wanted to use Langma as a condition for the enemy to retreat, or that he wanted to use Langma as a hostage to delay time so as to gain a breath of life for Yanding City. Bai actually gave such an order.
But at this time, would it be too reckless to kill the Nine Kings, and would it anger the Nanliang army outside the city instead
Many soldiers felt a little uncertain in their hearts.
Langma naturally sensed the strangeness in the air, and yelled crazily: "Are you crazy? My Nanliang army of 20,000 is just outside the city, and you still have to let the king's people sent by Emperor Dayu do whatever they want!" Don't you see..."
Lang Ma's words just spoke to the concerns of many soldiers, and several young generals exchanged a few glances, hesitating. However, after Guan Yubai had shown his prestige a few times, even though they were still fully wary of him, they did not dare to speak freely about him.
Regarding Langma's yelling, Guan Yubai just interrupted the other party coldly with one word—
"cut!"
