Just like that, Qin Sheng's guilt just disappeared, and he thought that it would be great if he could have Ji Xiaoyao's temperament one day.
"Princess, since that's the case, let's go down and prepare."
"Ok."
In the next few days, people from all walks of life heard the news that Hanling Pass was breached, and the Longxiang Army and ordinary soldiers in the city disappeared, as if the world had evaporated, and all major forces were sending people to look for it. , but tens of thousands of soldiers seemed to have never appeared before.
And even though Hanling Pass was broken, people with discerning eyes always feel that it was a trap set by some people in Hanling Pass. They all heard about the big explosion in Hanling Pass. The sum of all the defenders in the army is even more. It is really hard to say who won.
Some people in Tiansheng have already set their sights on Liancheng, but as usual, there is no sign of trouble in Liancheng, which makes them very anxious.
Mo Wenli, who was far away in the capital, almost fainted when he heard the news a few days later.
Why didn't he know that cooperating with two countries that had once attacked his own country was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, but he had no choice but to fight against Mo Jinyao's Longxiang army by himself would only suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, he is betting, betting on the hearts of these soldiers at Hanling Pass, betting that they will never run away for the sake of the thousands of people in the pass, and betting that they will end up in the end where both sides will suffer, and then he will be able to catch fish. The benefits.
But what's going on now, what's wrong with Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng has guarded Hanling Pass for so many years, so he just lost it? Could it be... Could it be that he knew that he killed his father and wanted to take revenge on himself
Mo Wenli, who woke up leisurely, thought more and more about the possibility, so he sent three times more guards by his side that day.
It has to be said that Mo Wenli really thought too much, Qin Sheng really wanted revenge, but his rationality was still there, Mo Wenli's head was not the time to take it off yet.
At this time, Fang Bai had already taken Fang Ran to the front with the army. I heard that Prime Minister Fang had a serious illness after that, and he has not come to the court until now. Therefore, the atmosphere in the court has become very subtle, and it is different from Mr. Fang. The people who the prime minister had a good relationship with seemed to be locked in collectively, they just stood in their own positions, didn't speak or give any advice.
Mo Wen coughed for a long time, and several ministers hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body."
They support Mo Wenli now, so nothing will happen to Mo Wenli, otherwise no one can stop Mo Jinyao's offensive, and no one wants to be the next person to fight against Mo Jinyao.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to increase troops to guard Shangyong City, but we must not let these barbarians from Beidi go any further."
Mo Wenli is like waking up from a big dream,
"The prime minister is right. Pass on my order and order the soldiers in Shangyong City to stop Beidi's army outside Shangyong City no matter what method they use! I will send 30,000 more troops. If Shangyong City When the city is broken, they will come to see you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Retire!"
…
The Prime Minister, who was supposed to be sick in bed, put down the tea in his hand when he heard the news, and said with a sneer, "Mo Wenli, I didn't expect you to have today! This is the end of seeking skin from a tiger. The army has expert guidance."
Otherwise, depending on the thoughts of that boy Qin Sheng, he would never retreat.
"Prime Minister, what shall we do next?"
"Investigate the traces of the Dragon Army, and report it immediately after finding it... If there is anything that needs help, help as much as possible." A trace of pain flashed in Fang Chengxiang's eyes, and his son and daughter had been killed by Mo Wen. Li was forced to go away, what else could he be loyal to Mo Wenli.
"Yes!" The hidden guard was taken aback when he heard this, and knew where his master was standing.
The gates of the city had already been opened wide, and those who were chasing Butler Feng had never caught up, and they had nothing to hide.
There are some powerful people in the capital who are not quick-witted now, they don't know anything else, but they can judge the situation, and now they are watching the battle to see which one is better, Prince Chen or the original Prince Cheng, so they can stand in line in time what.
The army in the mountains outside Shangyong City has long since disappeared, because they are now on the Xiling River, and both sides of the Xiling River are indeed the Gobi Desert. Even if there are pursuers in such a terrain, it is difficult to pursue them. Unless it's coming up from behind them.
But now their ships are not warships, they are all merchant ships. With so many merchant ships, they are really not afraid of being suspected, because there are not only storms but also a group of pirates on this Xiling River. Large merchant ships bring escorts to the table Lingjiang is a very normal thing.
deck.
"Princess, it's windy on the deck, you'd better go back to the cabin."
Falling Star said behind Yun Ziyue.
"Luoxing, what's the situation in Beidi now?"
Yun Ziyue nodded, but did not move, but stood on the deck and asked how Luoxing was doing recently.
"Back to the princess, the big witch from Beidi vomited a big mouthful of blood on the day he entered the city. It took two days for him to recover. However, the general in Beidi was lucky. The big explosion didn't kill him. Now they are still repairing in Hanling Pass. I don't know if they will attack Shangyong City. But... Mo Wenli seems to have sent a lot of soldiers to Shangyong City, and it seems that a fight will begin."
Yun Ziyue smiled, took a deep breath, and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Shangyong City, and report to me immediately if there is any news."
"Subordinates obey!"
"elder sister!"
Suddenly there was a very crisp voice from behind, Yun Ziyue turned around and saw Su Ran walking over, the two of them didn't notice when this person appeared on the deck.
Yun Ziyue was secretly startled, she didn't know what this person's skills were, but to be honest, she had been busy crossing the river these two days, so she really forgot about such a No. 1 person.
"Falling Star, you go down first."
"Princess..." Luo Xing looked at Su Ran, a little worried.
Yun Ziyue gave him a reassuring look, signaling that he was fine, don't worry, Luo Xing then went down.
When he walked to Su Bai's side, he took a deep look at Su Ran, but Su Bai didn't take it seriously at all.
"What's the matter, Mr. Su?"
"Sister, don't call me a son, you should call me Aran, it sounds kind."
The corner of Yun Ziyue's mouth twitched, thinking who is being kind to you.
"looking for me?"
"Sister, you are so indifferent to me. Anyway, I helped you defend the city and set up traps at Hanling Pass."
That's right, this guy Su Ran didn't know how he heard that they were going to set up traps in the city, and called his little followers to help them, Yun Ziyue was speechless for a while, thinking that he had waited enough for others, but these people He was very diligent and really helped a lot, otherwise, Yun Ziyue would not have let him follow.
"If you have something to talk about, or I'll leave." After speaking, Yun Ziyue was about to go to the cabin.
"Hey, sister, I said, there is a group of people following us, they should have spotted us."
Hearing this, Yun Ziyue stopped in her tracks and squinted at him.
Su Ran quickly shook her head to clear the relationship.
"Sister, it's really not me, I just discovered it by accident, but... these people don't seem to have any malicious intentions, even if they followed behind, they didn't do anything."
Yun Ziyue glanced at him and said,
"Come on, go check now, check where the tail behind us came from!"
"Yes!" The visitor was surprised, did they have tails behind them
Su Ran smiled, he liked this woman's decisive appearance, which was exactly the same as the one he saw in the ghost city.
The people hiding in the dark watched their master tell the news they told this woman who was indifferent to him like a treasure in a blink of an eye, and suddenly felt a toothache. Stick to other people's cold ass.
At this time, Mo Jinyao, who was far away in the eastern capital, felt very uncomfortable.
Looking at the still prosperous Eastern Capital City with Yinhong eyes, there was no trace of joy.
My little girl can do great things no matter where she goes, she can cost Beidi soldiers a total of 50,000 yuan, and spit out Beidi's big witch Qi without a single soldier, even if it is a different person. He did it easily, but now that they took people up the Xiling River, he was really afraid that something might happen.
"My lord." A hidden guard quietly appeared behind him.
"What's the news?"
"After the news that the Hanling Pass was broken reached the palace, it was said that Mo Wenli had been ill for a while, and then sent reinforcements to Shangyong City. And just a few days before this, his subordinates found out that there were a large number of People and horses are coming in our direction."
There was a dark tide in Mo Xiuyao's eyes, and he said with a sneer, "He will never be able to tell what is the priority. How can such a person be worthy of being the son of the emperor's brother? Tell Liannian to purge the army, put the troops on hold first, and defend the Eastern Capital."
The dark guard hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, don't we go forward?"
Mo xiuyao said lightly: "It's no good for us to attack the city now, you go down and prepare."
The dark guard nodded, "I obey!"
Walking to the edge of the city wall, Mo Jinyao looked up at the full moon in the sky, his eyes gradually became gentle,
"Little girl... This king wants to give you the best in this world... But why, why does this king want you to run around for this king after marrying you... My little girl, one day, this king Let you live the life you want. Little girl, when the mountains and rivers are safe, this king will definitely make up for you... "
The city closest to the Eastern Capital is still trembling. They want to surrender, but there are some people in the city who just don't want to surrender. But if those who don't surrender really fight the Dragon Army, they still dare not, No, I heard that His Majesty sent someone here, and the stone in my heart was finally relieved, but I was afraid that their city would be broken before the reinforcements arrived.
Simply, Mo Jinyao did not lead the army to attack the city.
Inside Hanling Pass, Beidi's hundreds of thousands of soldiers stared covetously at Shangyong City, which was not far away.
That city is more valuable than a border city. In their eyes, it is not just as simple as a city, it represents countless food and military supplies, and it is far richer and more prosperous than Hanling Pass. As for the covenant with Mo Wenli, they Not intending to comply.
In the coach's big tent, the general was reading the letter in the tent. It was the general who was turned into a beggar two days ago.
"Hahahahaha, okay, okay, Mo Wenli, you are wise."
All the generals exchanged glances one after another, and one person standing in front came out and asked, "General, is there any good news?"
The general handed over a letter, and everyone smiled when they saw it, "I didn't expect the current Tiansheng Emperor to be so cowardly that he would negotiate with us instead of fighting?"
"Yeah, but general, are we really going to negotiate with him?" one general asked.
The general nodded and smiled thoughtfully: "Of course, of course we have to negotiate. After all, we are still allies on the surface. Without the protection of the Longxiang Army, Mo Wenli is nothing. It's not what we want, what he will give!"
The generals under the tent couldn't help getting excited, and they whispered to each other for a while, and someone came out and said: "If that's the case, why don't we just ask Shangyong City to come here!"
The general squinted his eyes slightly, touched the unevenness on the table and said, "Mo Wenli apparently wants to negotiate with us, but I'm afraid there are other plans. In a city as big as Shangyong City, Mo Wenli really Can you bear it?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, it seems that they have to fight by themselves in the end.
"General, the Heavenly Holy Emperor is really stupid. He really thinks that he can fight against us with his little people? They are nothing without the Dragon Army!"
The general nodded, thankfully Mo Wenli was stupid enough, otherwise Tiansheng couldn't break the iron plate that was about to be firmly guarded by Long Xiang's army so easily.
"Soldiers, we will stand still these few days and see what kind of attitude this envoy from Shengjing has!"
"Follow orders!"
Yun Ziyue and the others marched on the river for three days, and they ran into the legendary group of pirates at noon on the third day.
That group of pirates had a lot of boats, and there were hookers on every boat. It seemed that they were going to hook their boats. Of course, Yun Ziyue and the others were not afraid, but they didn't want to expose their tracks, so they discussed for a while. Then decided to run away.
"Don't run!" Seeing that the fat fish with its mouth was about to run away like this, the pirates behind them all started to yell.
They finally waited for such a large merchant ship, which would be enough to feed them for a year, so a scene appeared on the sea, a group of merchant ships ran ahead, and a group of pirates chased after them.
Su Ran, who was sleeping soundly on the boat, felt that the boat was getting faster and bumpier.
He frowned impatiently, opened his eyes, walked to the deck, rubbed his eyes, and asked Yun Ziyue.
"Sister, what happened?"
Yun Ziyue pointed backwards, signaling for him to look for himself, so Su Ran saw a group of pirate ships.
