MTL - Emperor’s Conquest-Chapter 22 side by side

The night breeze of Huizhou is softer than that of Ningshuo. In the middle of the night in May, the clothes are cool and make me burst.

I stood in the atrium, looking up to the sky, and sighed slightly, "We will not know what this city will be when we fight together."

Song Huai'en silently said, "Peng Ze's assassination history has raised troops and rebellion, and the smoke has burned to the southeast counties. Once the Mizusawa Road fell, Langya is no longer peaceful. The long princess is still on the road at this time. Go to Langya again. "

I sighed sadly: "My mother should be on her way back to Beijing at this time ... In her nature, it's better to go back."

"Isn't the princess aware of the danger of the capital?" Song Huai'en frowned at me, looking slightly worried.

"Just because the capital city was in crisis, my mother was willing to go back." I smiled helplessly. In the end, I was a husband and wife for decades, and there was a lot of resentment against my father. At this moment of life and death, she would always be with him. If Jin Minchang's temperament really persists, who can stop her. The Peng Ze rebellion forced Beijing to the brink of crisis, and perhaps forced the mother's true feelings.

"What's the explanation for the princess?" Song Huai'en opened his mouth, wondering.

But I didn't want to mention the family affairs to others, just smiled, "I'm sure she will return to Beijing, just as I will stay in Huizhou."

"Would you like to stay in Huizhou?" Song Huaien's voice rose suddenly, and he even forgot to pay tribute. He whispered to me, "Never!"

At night, he had a pair of sword eyebrows flying, his eyes full of concern.

I saw in my eyes, my heart tightened. This kind of gaze, without awe and respectful humility, is just an unstoppable eagerness, no longer a subordinate to the Lord, just a man's gaze towards a woman.

Just listen to him in a hurry, "Huizhou is about to have a war, and his subordinates are ready to let Pang Gui **** the princess out of the city tomorrow morning, and go north to meet with the grandfather ... In any case, the princess must not be involved!"

I turned to my side, avoiding his scorching eyes, and my heart was a little flustered.

Relatively silent for a while, but felt that the night breeze blew the clothes.

"You only need to defend the city with all your strength, so as to go and stay, I have my own measure." I calmed down and said lightly.

Song Huai'en was anxious, opened his mouth to say something, but stopped abruptly, squeezing the corners of his lips into a line.

I looked back at him quietly and said, "You have followed King Wang through hundreds of battles. Have you ever flinched because of the critical situation?"

He frowned and said, "The general killed himself on the battlefield. Princess, how can you compare yourself as a woman!"

"So," I smiled slightly. "If the Lord is here, would he leave you and take refuge alone in the city?"

"That's not the same!" Song Huai'en exclaimed.

I stared at him with a smile, "What's the difference, I am Princess Yuzhang, and I should advance and retreat with Her Majesty King Yuzhang."

Song Huai'en silently lowered his eyes and stopped arguing with me.

Along the way back to the inner court, he silently followed the **** behind him, and stopped by the door to see me in.

Stepping into the depths of the winding path, I still felt the eyes behind me ... I couldn't help but stop and look back, seeing the faint figure standing under the door, the sleeves flying, the inexpressible solitude.

It was just dawning, and went to Luling Pass to investigate the false sergeant's return. The army of Suining Wang was stepping up to supervise the construction of the warship. He had sent several small boats close to the river bank in the early hours of the morning, and inquired about our army. , Jin Nu Qi hair, pushing it back.

Mu Lian has closed the gates on all sides, ordered the military and civilians to store grain in the city for war, and mobilized heavy soldiers to station at the Luling Pass to prevent anyone from entering the city from the south. The Luling Pass will be closed at noon today. At this moment, there are already crowds inside and outside the gate. People in the neighborhood support the elderly and bring their children to the city to avoid the battle before closing.

Two days passed, King Suining's warships had been on the bank of the river. When the weather was fine, the flags flying across the shore were faintly visible.

On the third day, the number of small boats crossing the river suddenly increased, and arrows were shot from the city head from time to time, clamoring and provoking. Mu Lian and Song Huaien were on duty at the head of the city alternately, and they were strictly guarded. They were not allowed to respond to the counterattack. The more tempting King Suining became, the more he doubted his guilty conscience and could not understand our truth and reality.

The city is treacherous, and the people in the city are heartbroken.

The people were busy evading the battle of grain, and the rice shops in the city were closed and the poor screamed. Huizhou has not been fighting for many years, and the grain and grass stored in the official warehouse has not been counted for a long time, but it has been a lot of mold and it is not known how long it can be used in the army.

The mess in front of me made me unable to cope. Although I have seen and learned from my childhood, although there is no lack of military strategy, most of the ears and ears are the tricks of the courts to gain power. This is the most common thing about people's livelihood. The officials in Huizhou are usually full of food all day long. They are best at singing and talking. When it comes to using soldiers, they can only talk empty.

At a time when there was nothing to do, Mrs. Mou and Mr. Cao recommended several officials who came from a shabby background, including a total of seven people, including her brethren. It was my diligence to act diligently. In the past few days, everyone kept sleeping and counted the Guancang government treasury one by one. The grain and supplies for the army were already in place. The people in the city calmed down, and the riots ceased.

Although I knew that the government of the imperial court was corrupt, and the children of your son-in-law were mediocre, they did not know that they had reached such a point.

I stroked my forehead and thought of my brother in Beijing, only to feel helpless, with anxiety in my heart.

It was already night, and according to Song Huaien's expectations, I was afraid that King Su Ning's patience would not be able to spend tonight.

I went to the city with Cao, and it was almost midnight. Tonight's Huizhou Moon star was thin and quiet.

The city head guarded everything as usual, but there was no panic, but the city was on guard in secret, and the four guards were all waiting.

Song Huai'en and Mu Lian came to hear the news, both of them are heavy armored swords with red eyes.

Hearing Cao said that Mu Lian hadn't returned to his home for three days and had been on duty in the camp. At this moment, the two of them met at the head of the city. The battle for life and death may be instantaneous. The two looked at each other quietly, without a word, but seemed to have done everything.

My heart touched, and I turned with a smile, and said to Song Huain, "General Song, please come with me."

After leaving the Mou couple several feet away, I stopped to turn around and smiled at Song Huaien, "Let them get together."

Song Huaien didn't say a word with a smile. He took a deep look at me, and then looked down.

For the past three days, I have avoided it deliberately. I have not met him every day except to discuss important matters. Occasionally trivia, always ordered Yuxiu to go back and forth to talk. I usually heard her talk about General Song and she was always in a frown. At the moment, Song Huai'en was in front of her, but she bowed her head behind me, and did not dare to look at him. Youth love is no different.

The battle is imminent at the moment, but I was entangled with the tenderness of the Mou couple and Yuxiu's daughter in front of me.

Song Huai'en also smiled slightly, staring at the river in the distance, not mentioning war, and seemed unwilling to disturb the tranquility of the city for a moment.

For a long time, Yuxiu said quietly, breaking the silence, "The river surface is foggy, can the princess add clothes?"

I shook my head, but I saw that the river surface was really filled with mist of water, like a cream veil covering the water surface, flowing slowly with the wind.

"In two more hours, it will be the thickest fog on the river surface." Song Huaien said lowly, with a hint of killing in his voice. "That is the best time to siege. If the time passes, no enemy will come. , We will live another day. "

I stunned for a moment, and still laughed loudly, "It's already the fourth day, and it's the fourth day. The Lord's forward army is closer to us. Maybe at this time tomorrow, the reinforcements will be able to arrive."

"The wise are more suspicious, and the brave are less concerned." He groaned with a smile. "We are not delaying the fight behind closed doors. This is a procrastination strategy. Fortunately, the opponent we encountered was King Suining. For fear of fraud. "

I laughed with a clap and teased, "Yes, I hope he'll be a little more cautious and calm, and never learn to be reckless."

Song Huaien looked at me and smiled.

Back in the room, I can no longer sleep, listening to the sound even more leaked, and passing two hours apart.

I asked Yuxiu how many times, from the third hour of the child to the first moment of the Yin Dynasty, I was drowsy with her and fell asleep on the desk unknowingly ... Waiting for me to startle more loudly, Pushing Yuxiu, when I asked the night maid, I realized that it was the first moment!

It really took another day.

Looking at the pale white sky in the east and looking at the city's headlights, I just felt relieved and tired.

In the past few days, I have never slept peacefully, at this time a big rock in my heart fell to the ground for a while, but my sleepiness could no longer be resisted.

Before narrowing his eyes, he also instructed Yuxiu to wake me up when Chen Shi passed away, but before Yuxiu answered, I was confused.

This sleep slept quietly and dreamily.

Between waking up and not waking up, I saw Xiao Rong riding his lively Mo Yan, walking slowly from a distance, and walking so slowly ... I ca n’t wait for a whip to draw Mo Yan, calling this bad Horse runs faster.

"It's here, it's here, Grandpa is here ..." There was someone cheering in the dream.

I rolled over with a smile, but I was pushed a lot, and immediately woke up. But it was Yu Xiu who shook me desperately, and kept talking about something in my mouth.

She was saying, Lord Wang has arrived.

The maids around were all frowning, and the sound of footsteps from the guards running out of the door came—not really in a dream.

I jumped out of bed, pulled off my robe and put on it.

The armbands fluttered, and the long hair was scattered by the wind. This abominable corridor walks every day, how can it never feel so long and difficult to walk! In front of the eyes, for the first time, I didn't care about manners, lifted up the skirt and ran away, hoping to give birth to wings, and flew to him in an instant.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a black valkin dragon dragon handsome flag high up, hunting and hunting under bright sunlight.

That was the handsome banner of King Yuzhang, wherever he went, that is, Xiao Zhen, the general of the town and country.

The majestic figure stood high on the dark horse, against the midday sun, like a **** of heaven.

I lifted my head, and in front of me was the dazzling sunlight at noon, which was more dazzling than the one person and one horse in the middle of the halo.

The black iron bright light dragon scale armor, the black lion mane war horse, and the black-colored wind thorn thorn gold dragon seem to want to rise with the wind. Behind him was a neat and mighty division, as if the shield wall that could not see the end was lined up in front of him, and the black iron-colored tide was rolling from a distance.

Everyone fell down on their knees and worshipped in unison, except that I distributed a single garment and stood in front of his horse.

The people who are looking forward to morning faint sleep are really standing in front of me, but I seem to be crazy, and I can't speak.

He stepped forward and reached out to me.

Fluttering towards him greeted him, as if in a dream.

He held my hand, his palm was warm and strong, and he gently pulled me on the horse's back. Under the dazzling sunlight, I could see his eyebrows smile. It was really Xiao Yan, the one that I couldn't let go for a moment.

"I'm here." He smiled warmly, his eyes hot, and his voice was low and calm. I can only see this smile, and I can only hear the faint words. He was forced to arrive at this moment for the entire five-day journey, during which he wore stars and wore moons, worried, and the army's soldiers and horses kept on and on ... Although I couldn't see it, I could imagine it.

Looking around, there is no need for honey and tenderness, he is enough to come.

Yuzhang Wang's forward army stepped into the city under the scorching sun.

In full view, he rode with me on a ride through the crowd of cheering and welcoming, and went straight up the tower to accept the cheering at his feet. The soldiers of the three armies cheered like thunder, and their morale was so high that the people of the city rushed to celebrate each other. The tide-like voice spread far and wide. This is an enthusiasm I have never seen in my life, as if someone on the verge of despair finally ushered in a **** who saved all people from water and fire; this is also the first time I have seen with my own eyes that the prestige of King Yuzhang has come to this end.

And at this moment, as Princess Yuzhang, I rode side by side with him and accepted the admiration of all people.

This cheer from the heart, even if noble like a royal family, may not be available.

This is popular opinion.

The scene in front of me deeply shocked me for a long time.

As soon as he left the city and returned to the government, he was surprised to find that he had been spreading and covering his face, and he was caught in Xiao Bo's arms.

The left and right generals, as well as the generals of the three armed forces below the city, saw us like this ... I suddenly had hot cheeks, and I couldn't help getting into the seam. I hurriedly lowered my face and did not dare to touch the eyes of the people behind me.

"What do you do?" Xiao Xuan asked, bowing his head in a strange place.

My cheeks got hotter and my voice couldn't be lighter, "You made me look like this."

The generals were behind him, but apart from Yu Yu, he laughed aloud, "You dare to take down the entire city, but you are afraid of shame?"

There was a low-smelling laugh coming from behind ... I was embarrassed and embarrassed, and didn't dare to laugh at him with an interface.

As soon as I returned to the house, I jumped off the horse and headed to the inner court without turning my head back. I was so annoyed that I wouldn't betray him.

After I hurried to bathe and change clothes, my grooming came out neatly, Yuxiu said that Wang Ye has gone to the camp and will be here in the future.

As soon as I stayed, I smiled bitterly. He naturally focused on military affairs, and it was not necessarily for me that he came by day and night.

Sitting sadly on the dressing table, neither annoyed nor sighed. After many days of worries, he was already struggling, and it was so easy to look forward to him. He should have been full of joy but inexplicable ... When he was away, I also stood up by myself, illusioned that I was out of reach; and now he came, I reverted to the original form, only wishing that he would be kept behind him, like Ningshuo that night.

For a while, I was fascinated, and I took off the ring, and felt tired.

These two days were really too tiring. I leaned back to Jinta, and I thought I would sleep for a while, before falling asleep.

In the dark, someone helped me cover the captivity, and the familiar masculine faintness came down.

I didn't want to open my eyes and silently turned my head inward.

"Don't want to see me?" His fingers stroked my hair, his voice warm and low. "Who ran to my horse like crazy before?"

When I mentioned that, I felt softened and opened my eyes to watch him quietly.

His eyes were full of red silk, and his jaw exuded a layer of light blue, light-colored, and his face was tired.

I couldn't hold my heart anymore, stretched his arms around his neck, and quietly opened his mouth. "How many days haven't you squinted?"

He smiled, didn't answer, but embraced me.

"Princess, you've done a good job this time." He looked at me squarely. "My King admires it."

I was stunned for a while, but I didn't have time to speak, but listened to him sharply, and said sharply, "But Grandma, even if you have the ability to penetrate the world, I don't disdain to take your safety and trade a city!"

"I have never seen anything dangerous, even if King Suining took Huizhou, I don't need to be afraid." He was already very eloquent. "You had the opportunity to retreat from your whole body, but it was difficult to seize the city on your own ... You need to know that the swordsmen have no eyes. If there is a half-point error, even if I come here with my wings, I won't get you back a whole body! "

At this moment, I thought that the night was indeed extremely dangerous. I was afraid of it, but I still insisted, "But we finally won."

"How about winning?" Xiao Yan suddenly became angry, "Xiao Mou has won hundreds of battles, how little has he won! How can a Huizhou win? But if I lose you, where do I go to find another king? Even if you lose ten hundred Huizhou, you can't ... "

He glared at me and said a word to his mouth, but refused to say it.

"Can't do anything?" I knew in my heart, still asking him softly, my smile couldn't help but float to my lips.

Xiao Yan glared at me for a long while, sighing helplessly, holding me tightly, his chin came lightly to the side of my neck, "I can't ... lose you."

Such tenderness and utterance came out of his mouth, seemingly difficult and heavy.

I laughed and lay on his shoulders, but tears had burst.

"On the way, I just want to whip you hard! Make you brave!" He smiled bitterly. "The closer you are to Huizhou, the more afraid ... if you have a mistake, you can't settle this city. Call King Suining and the whole army! "

I climbed his placket and just laughed, and while laughing, secretly shed tears on his placket, but the tears kept on.

He looked down at his front placket and laughed, "You woman ..."

The room was getting darker, and the dusk was getting thicker outside the window, and I had fallen asleep until dusk.

Seeing him dusty and tired, as soon as he arrived in the city, he was busy deploying military affairs and tidying up the city defense, only to have been busy for a long time.

I wrapped him around gently. "Eyes are red, sleep for a while."

Xiao Min smiled, "I'm really tired."

I got up and got out of bed and asked the maid to bring in hot water and hot tea, while wringing a parchment for him to wash his face, and smiling, "Where you stand, wait for the king to go to bed."

"The princess is virtuous." Xiao Yanran smiled, let me help him unload the armor, and lay down together.

I grabbed him, "I can't sleep without clothes!"

"The city warrior doesn't remove his armor, how can he be undressed in the boudoir?" He still had a wistful smile and dragged me to the bed, softly, "Lying with me for a while, wake me after half an hour."

I nodded helplessly and gently covered him with the captivity.

I was about to talk to him, but I heard that he was breathing slowly, he was already asleep, his lips were sharpened with a smile, and the wrinkle on his eyebrows spread out slightly. His hands were still tightly around my waist, and he refused to let go when he fell asleep. I didn't dare to move, lest I awaken him. Lying in his arms, staring at his eyebrows quietly, he just didn't see enough for his whole life.

When I suddenly woke up, I turned to wake him, but saw that the pillow was empty.

The night was still deeper outside the curtain. I fell asleep until this moment, not even knowing when Xiao Yan got up and left.

Almost a whole day went to sleep, finally refreshed. After dinner, I slightly dressed up and took a piece of wind to the city. Yu Xi was joking and joking with me all the way, more and more bold.

Ascending the tower, I saw him wearing a sword in the distance, and led a group of generals who were still inspecting defense late at night.

I approached slowly, lest I interrupt their discussion, busy signalling the guards not to speak, but stood quietly not far away.

Xiao Yan is tall and straight, standing still among the burly generals.

At this time, a brightly lit scene of the city was building, and the civilians building warships were busy on the river bank, and the defense sergeants rushed back and forth to build fortifications overnight. The patrolmen shuttled back and forth, and from time to time there were crossbowmen firing arrows at the river, using the fire to observe the enemy situation on the river. This situation was even more turbulent than in the past, with a bluff.

I frowned and groaned, for a moment I didn't know why. While thinking about it, a rough voice yelled at this side, "Who is here?"

I was shocked, but it was a reckless general next to Xiao Yan who found me.

Seeing me stepping out slowly, the generals were all stunned and busy saluting.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly. "Why are you here?"

I passed the wind in my hand and laughed without saying a word.

He took the wind, and gazed gently at me, but said lightly, "The city head is cool at night. Go back."

The reckless general smiled and laughed and hugged me, "I can't think of a princess, a beautiful woman, who managed to break through the city. She is indeed a heroine of the middle school. She is very impressed by the old Hupe!"

I hesitated. It was interesting to listen to his rough words, and smirked. "General Hu is ridiculous."

Song Huain and Mu Lian looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Yong smiled with a lost hand, "This is Hu Guanglie, a general who is conscripted."

One person said, "This person has the most talk, and he is called General Reckless."

The crowd laughed loudly, but Hu Guanglie scratched his head helplessly, but he was not upset. It can be seen that in private, the generals have always used Xiao Xiao to laugh and laugh, which makes people seem to be happy, and they really have the same robes. Seeing people laugh and laugh at random, Mu Lian is no longer the previous restraint.

Xiao Zong praised Mu Lian greatly and praised him for his meticulous actions. This time he won Huizhou.

Mu hastily resigned, and complimented me on Song Huaien, Pang Gui and others.

Hu Guanglie grinned and narrowed his eyes at the others. "We are really a perfect match for the prince and the princess!"

I was embarrassed for a moment, everyone looked down and laughed.

Xiao Yan also smiled, and immediately said to the generals, "It's not too early, everyone will return to camp for a while, and watch vigils on duty. Be sure to keep up your energy, and don't be half relaxed!"

"Yes!" The generals followed the orders in unison and stepped back immediately.

The night breeze hunting in the city, Xiao Yan took my hand and walked along the tower.

I rested quietly next to him, I just wanted to go without battle and killing, and keep walking like this, and it ’s okay to go to the old days.

"Is Huizhou a battle, just tonight?" I stopped and sighed.

Xiao Zheng looked at me side by side, without concealing his admiration. "It's a pity that you were born as a woman.

"If it weren't for a woman, how could I meet you?" I looked back and smiled. "You are so bluffing, naturally there are strange things. King Suining carefully tried for a few days, but I was afraid that patience would soon run out."

Xiao Yan smiled and raised his finger to the south of the river bank. "King Ning is old and suspicious. He also knows that I use the art of warfare to be good at offensive battles. Su Xi keeps defending offenses. Today, even if he tries every day, he will not see me. He must doubt that I am away. In the city, I do n’t know, it just coincides with your strategy of slowing down soldiers. The former is true, today is false, and it happens to be reversed. At this time, I made a mystery and continued to bluff, and he became more suspicious, making him think that I have not yet entered the city. Hui The state is empty, and you can let go to attack. If I did n’t expect it, today, the river was foggy, and King Suining would cross the river. Then he sent his striker to the shore and waited for the army to cross the river. ... "

My eyes lighted up and I said, "At that time, I will catch you, and I will beat the water dog, it will be very happy!"

Xiao Yan laughed, "Even a brave veteran, today he is also called to die under the Huizhou city!"
