Old Prime Minister Fang was already very sad. He and the first emperor could be said to have grown up since childhood. Now that the first emperor passed away suddenly, he was shocked by grief, but he knew in his heart that His Royal Highness Chen Wang would never do such a thing, but now Mo When Wen Li was in power, Lord Chen became the target of crusade, and now he wants to send his son to the battlefield, what kind of idea is this!
What Mo Wenli did was nothing more than wanting to completely pull his Fang family to his side. Think about it, as long as his son goes to the battlefield, he must be an enemy of His Royal Highness, the sword has no eyes, if his son If he is really killed by His Royal Highness Chen Wang on the battlefield, then he will definitely become an enemy of His Royal Highness Chen Wang. If his son comes back alive, then he must have killed a lot of Longxiang army. It is impossible to accept their family.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Fang suddenly knelt on the ground, crying bitterly,
"Your Majesty, Quanzi is just a literati, he doesn't know how to wield swords and guns, and I hope His Majesty can take it back."
Mo Wenli squinted his eyes, looked at the people kneeling in the hall, and before he could speak, Prime Minister Yun spoke.
"What is Fang Cheng talking about? I have met your son. Not only is he outstanding in writing, he is also much more proficient in martial arts than ordinary people. His Majesty has personally issued an order. Could it be that Prime Minister Fang wants to disobey the order?" ?"
Prime Minister Fang glared at Prime Minister Yun,
"Your Majesty, I heard that Prime Minister Yun also has a son who is also proficient in martial arts. Why don't you send him along with him? After all, Prime Minister Yun really wants to do his best for the country, right?"
"You! Your Majesty, the old minister does have a son, but the old minister's son is not yet fifteen years old and is still studying. I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"That's a coincidence. Prime Minister's son is as old as Prime Minister Yun's. Why can't Prime Minister Fang's son go to the battlefield? Could it be that Prime Minister Yun has some selfish motives?"
"You! You don't want to mess around, the truth and loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from time to time!"
"That's enough! What kind of decency is there in the hall!" Mo Wenli slapped the dragon chair violently because of the headache caused by the two people's quarrel.
The two of them shut their mouths awkwardly.
"That's it, it's settled, there's no need to talk about the two of you, it's okay to retreat!" After speaking, Mo Wenli flicked his sleeves and left.
The people in the main hall walked away with you and me. Most of the people who opposed Mo Wenli in the court died, and the rest were those who knew the current affairs and were outstanding. They only thought about how to maximize their own interests. Of course Not interested in these anymore.
"Prime Minister Yun is really a good trick." Prime Minister Fang's voice sounded.
"Where is it, the prime minister is helping Prime Minister Fang, how can you say that, Prime Minister Fang?"
"Hmph!" Prime Minister Fang flicked his sleeves and left first.
Yun Qian from behind looked at Prime Minister Fang's back, and finally showed a treacherous smile. We have been fighting for a lifetime, and today the prime minister wants to see whether you will cut off your offspring or violate your conscience!
When Prime Minister Fang returned home, the whole family was already waiting. Fang Bai held a bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, his expression remained unchanged, but Fang Ran obviously cried just now, and his eyes were still red and swollen.
When they saw their father, they all stepped forward to salute, but their voices were a little choked up.
"Daddy..."
"Go into the room and talk." Prime Minister Fang looked at his two children, and suddenly had an idea.
The three of them entered the room and sat down, and all the servants in the room had been called down.
"Daddy, Mo Wenli clearly wants you to express your opinion."
Prime Minister Fang looked at his daughter and sighed. This daughter has been educated and smart since she was a child. She understands everything and sighed.
"Now we are under the eaves of others, and we have to bow our heads. But Daddy has already made up his mind, Ah Bai."
"Father."
"You take your sister to Jiangnan."
"Take sister?" Fang Bai was taken aback, he didn't expect his father to make such a decision.
"Yes, listen to what Dad said. When you get there, don't make enemies with Lord Chen. Find a way to contact Lord Chen. I will write a handwritten letter. When the time comes, you will give it to His Highness, and His Highness will understand after reading it. Yes, you know?"
"Daddy, what are you doing..." Fang Ran suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You listen to my father, as long as you can escape, you must escape to the tent of the prince, and the prince will protect you."
"But what do you do?" Fang Ran's tears fell down uncontrollably.
"You don't need to worry about dad. No matter what you say, dad is still a prime minister. Does that kid Mo Wenli dare to do anything to me? But you, Abai, are life and death if you go to the battlefield, and Ran Ran, the people in the capital The water is too deep, you don't get involved as a girl, you know?"
"Daddy, my daughter can help you here."
"Your father and I have been in the officialdom for so many years. Are you still afraid of these people? What you have to do is to protect yourself and never let something happen to you."
"Dad..."
Both of them don't want to leave, and they always feel that they don't know when they will see each other again.
"That's it, go and accompany your mother later."
After Prime Minister Fang finished speaking, he got up and went to the study. As soon as he stepped out of the door, the tears in his eyes couldn't be held back. He touched his eyes with his wide sleeves, but his eyes were full of determination.
"It's useless to be a father. You can't even protect your own two children. My lord, if you can feel the heart of the old minister in the south of the Yangtze River, can you treat my two children kindly for the old minister, and don't ask for wealth and wealth, but for peace. Smoothly..."
Prime Minister Fang looked at the inexplicable desolation from his back, and the butler who followed him silently wiped away tears.
—
At this time, the Beidi camp was a different scene. Their hundreds of thousands of troops were killed by 3,000 people from the Longxiang Military Region, and few of the 3,000 people stayed here. It was their people who were killed by the living dead and suffered heavy losses.
"Big witch..." The general knelt on the ground, even though he was very dissatisfied in his heart, he still didn't dare to say anything.
"Has the identity of the newcomers in Hanling Pass been found?"
"I didn't find out...but, but they said that they recently saw a woman who appeared out of thin air, like the concubine of Prince Chen."
"Prince Chen's concubine? Fool?"
"Yes."
"Hehe... Now organize the army immediately, and attack the city in five days! No matter what the cost!"
The general watched with his own eyes that the big witch turned a volume of books beside him into powder, and when he looked carefully, he could still see tiny transparent bugs on it.
"Yes, let's go, let's go."
Of course Yun Ziyue knew that they were going to attack the city, but instead of strengthening the defense these days, they even started to evacuate the people in the city. Qin Xiang did a good job, and within a few days, only soldiers and some people were left in the city. The few who do not want to leave.
Yun Ziyue didn't want to force them. Everyone has their own destiny. She just did what she could. She is not a savior, and she doesn't want to be a savior. She can't save everyone.
"Princess, everything is almost arranged." Ji Xiaoyao walked in from the outside.
"Well, okay, by the way, how is the eldest brother?"
"Young master Xu is much better. He can get out of bed and walk around in the past two days."
"That's good. When the time comes to retreat, I will trouble you to take my concubine's elder brother with you."
"Whatever the princess said, this is what the subordinates should do."
Yun Ziyue glanced at him, what should she do? If it doesn't matter, would anyone really say that
Ji Xiaoyao coughed and went down.
Sure enough, within a few days, the battle started again.
This time the offensive was more intense than in the previous month.
That big witch really spent a lot of money, there were not many living dead, but there were a lot more Gu people, and behind it was the elite of Beidi's elite, so he really paid a lot of money.
However, what they didn't know was that the soldiers in the city didn't intend to fight them at all. They were just teasing the people in Beidi like children. They didn't know that there were only less than 20,000 Longchamp troops left in the city.
After a whole day, the rebel army gradually retreated until night, but they still confronted Yonglin City less than five miles away.
Yun Ziyue didn't feel much about it, the city hasn't been set up yet, they can't leave now, but tomorrow night, let's leave it to Beidi people, the leftovers are not so delicious.
"Yue'er, you said that you really want to leave this city behind, and you still feel a little bit reluctant." Qin Xiang suddenly said such a sentence for no reason.
Looking at the people from Beidi staring at them in the endless night outside Hanling Pass, Qin Xiang felt a little melancholy.
"What, can't bear it?"
Qin Xiang nodded, then shook his head again, "I know it's meaningless to defend this city or not. Once Mo Wenli sends troops to Shangyong City, we will be attacked by the enemy. Not only will we not be able to defend the city well, I'm afraid It’s even life-threatening.”
"Yue'er, I really feel that I am useless. In the past, when I went to the battlefield with the prince, I only knew how to fight in a daze, and even had to be protected. At that time, I thought that I was already very powerful when I went to the battlefield, but now I know , I’m so useless, Yue’er, you know how to deploy your troops, advance and retreat, and everyone else has their own responsibilities, only me, I don’t know anything, I just follow you foolishly.”
Yun Ziyue brushed her drooping hair and said,
"You have done a good job. Look, without you, how could the people in this city be evacuated so quickly?"
"Really?"
"Of course, Xianger is great. Xianger is not like a girl in a boudoir. She just embroiders flowers. Xianger is saving the people."
"Well, Yue'er, do you think Daddy will be happy when he finds out?" Qin Xiang asked Yun Ziyue happily.
"... yes, definitely will." Old General Qin's spirit in the sky will definitely be proud of you, Yun Ziyue lowered his eyebrows and concealed the emotion in his eyes.
Ji Xiaoyao and Qin Sheng stood on the city wall, looking at the two figures not far away.
Yun Ziyue was dressed in moon-white men's clothes, and her black hair was tied up casually with a hairpin.
Under the moonlight, a gleam of light was sprinkled on her delicate face, making her look like a mortal goddess from the Nine Heavens.
And the girl next to her was wearing silver armor, her brows were full of heroism, she was still slightly sad at first, but she didn't know what the girl beside her said, but she turned into a smile again.
"When are you going to tell her, you can't keep it from her forever."
Ji Xiaoyao gently shook the white jade with one hand, and looked at Qin Sheng beside him.
"... It's only a matter of time if you can hide it for a while. You also know that Qin Xiang spent more time with my father in the capital than I did. If she knew that my father had passed away, she would have to take a knife and kill Mo Wenli."
Qin Sheng sighed, he didn't know about these things, but he couldn't let her know now.
"Sooner or later, I'm going to kill Mo Wenli, that bastard!"
Ji Xiaoyao also became angry, not to mention Qin Xiang, even he wanted to kill Mo Wenli, what was he doing
Ji Xiaoyao has always believed that how Tiansheng's people fight internally is their own business, and it has nothing to do with outsiders, but Mo Wenli completely overturned his cognition, uniting with outsiders to beat his own people, he really promising!
On the second day, before dawn, the Beidi people began to lose control, and these Beidi people seemed to be crazy, and the offensive became more and more violent as the sky grew brighter.
There were bursts of shouts and killings inside and outside Hanling Pass, artillery fire raged, and rolling stones rolled from inside and outside the city wall with kerosene, causing a burst of flames. Even if there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, the Longxiang army can still defend the city for a day. of.
At this time in the city, the 300 Longchamp Army was creating a "surprise" for the Beidi people who were about to enter the city, but whether they could withstand the surprise was their business.
In the afternoon, the Beidi soldiers outside had already reached the gate of Hanling Pass under the undisturbed defense of the Longxiang Army.
The city gate began to crumble under the continuous impact of the rebels' vehicles.
"Princess, I can't keep it anymore." Qin Sheng walked in front of Yun Ziyue, looking at the still calm face of the concubine.
"Falling Star, is everything ready?"
"Princess, everything is well arranged, just waiting for them to enter the city." Luo Xing said respectfully from the side.
"The rest is up to General Qin."
"Obey!" Qin Sheng clasped his fists, turned around and said, "All the soldiers of the Longxiang Army gather and withdraw!"
"Yes, General." In a word, no one refuted, everyone stood neatly in a row, followed Qin Sheng and left, leaving only a few people behind.
And Ji Xiaoyao was in the general's mansion at this time, looking at Xu Zhimo who was already fully dressed, he didn't know what he was thinking.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Zhimo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he could only ask.
Ji Xiaoyao averted his eyes and said,
"It's okay, follow me in a while."
"Well, where is the princess?"
"The concubine is still on the city wall. She should have withdrawn by now. You don't have to worry. There are hidden guards guarding the concubine. Qin Sheng is also there. It will be fine."
"Well, let's go." After finishing speaking, Xu Zhimo walked to Ji Xiaoyao's side. When the two stood side by side, Ji Xiaoyao realized that Xu Zhimo was taller than him. Although he was only a little taller, but for some reason, Ji Xiaoyao As a man, Xiaoyao's desire to win and lose came up, and he secretly tiptoed, feeling that he was as tall as Xu Zhimo, and then he felt a little more balanced.
Xu Zhimo didn't know, so seeing this man acting like a child, he held back his laughter.
"Master Ji, let's go."
