The four thousand Anling Army was more powerful than Bai Qige imagined. It didn't even need the Qiaojiazhai troops who charged in the end to fight. The enemies who were attacked quickly collapsed like a piece of loose sand and fled in all directions, exposing the road to the imperial capital to Bai Qige. before.
About fifteen miles north of the imperial capital is the South Gate. Standing on the blood-stained land, Bai Qige could clearly see the towering city walls. A slight pain came from her clenched palms.
"Try not to hurt the people. Go straight to the palace and attack the city."
The majestic military order was loud and solemn. Lu Feidu, Xiao Baishan and Xu Zezhi lowered their raised arms at the same time. There was only a burst of horse hooves. Except for the men and horses in Qiaojiazhai, all the coalition forces followed the cavalry and rushed towards the south gate of the Dayao Imperial Capital. .
Breaking through this door, Yi Chenxuan only has the last line of defense left.[
I don’t know why. Bai Qige always feels that something is wrong. Such a victory is too easy. On the contrary, it makes people feel unreal and frightening. It seems that if you don’t pay attention, you will step into a trap. Is she being careless? Or is Yi Chenxuan really They are planning something behind the scenes. They use small failures to lure them into taking the bait.
However, the situation did not allow Bai Qige to look forward or backward. Listening to the roars of the soldiers, Bai Qige also galloped on her horse. Her eyes were fixed on the imperial capital city gate that was about to be breached. She remained unchanged in response to all changes. Since she could not guess Yi Chenxuan's intention. Then we have no choice but to act according to the original plan.
"Really. As a general, why are you rushing so fiercely? How can you make the men following behind feel embarrassed?" Ning Xizui, who was behind the army, shook his head repeatedly.
Wu Siying was not as leisurely as he was. He looked at the few remaining guards and the motley crew chatting and laughing in Qiaojiazhai. The worried military advisor tugged at his beard one by one: "Too few. There are too many people left behind." Less. If the enemy attacks from behind, no one will be able to come back in time. If Mr. Su is here, it will be fine..."
Ning Xizui and Wu Siying, who was not good at fighting, were placed at the end of the army as "key protected figures" by Bai Qige. They specifically asked a group of heroes from Qiaojiazhai to guard them. Even so, Wu Siying was still uneasy. He had no idea about Su Buqi. There is quite a bit of criticism about having people around to protect you.
"If you don't give up, you have to send Jin Yan to Qingming Mountain to cure the poison. After that, you have to ask your adoptive father some questions. If the military advisor misses him, you can chase him. It just so happens that I'm annoyed by you." Ning Xizui said with a bright smile. But the knife was so sharp that it made Wu Siying's face turn red.
"I just...just say it. Just say it..."
"Is the forced marriage just a casual talk? I really don't understand how the military advisor and General Lu could shamelessly put forward the conditions without blushing. If it had been for me, I would have buried myself in the cracks of the ground and never showed up again."
"I, what can I do? The order from above..."
"The military advisor is asked to marry someone else. Are you willing to marry General Lu? What is meant by 'generals who are not subject to military orders'? I don't understand what etiquette, justice and shame are. The military advisor has been reading with his toes for so many years. Read."
Before he could say a few words, Wu Siying's face was already turning red and white, and he looked like he was about to cry. But Ning Xizui's smile became brighter and brighter, becoming more and more creepy.
For some people, laughing is scarier than not laughing.
Forcing Bai Qige to marry on the condition of sending troops to support was not a glorious thing. Others knew that it was hindering the relationship between the two countries and could not say it clearly. Only Ning Xizui ignored the cynicism and criticized a few words when he thought about it. And he criticized them with every exception. The point that cannot be refuted.
Wu Siying shuddered, and quietly clamped the horse's belly, trying to stay away from Ning Xizui, the smiling fox, to avoid being mishandled. Suddenly, a scream came from behind and scared him so much that he almost fell off the horse.
"What's going on..." Wu Siying turned around in confusion. Before he could finish his question, an overwhelming rain of arrows came like a waterfall. The unsuspecting crowd scattered in panic. People bumped into each other, and horses bumped into horses. Just a moment ago, there was a saying. Youxiao's team collapsed in an instant. In the chaos, even Ning Xizui disappeared. Only Wu Siying was left shouting in vain in the crowd.
After a while, the Hongying army returned to support. More than 200 enemies who circled behind the army and fired cold arrows took advantage of the chaos and fled. The wounded and wounded soldiers were left all over the ground wailing.
"Why are all the people transferred to the front army? How can these reckless men who know nothing behind be able to withstand a sneak attack..." Anling military advisor Wu Siying, who was injured in the arrow rain, shouted uncharacteristically irritated and angry, with eyes filled with tears. Red blood streaks.
The person who was scolded was Lu Feidu. Originally, Wu Siying asked him to leave a hundred or so people behind to guard against a sneak attack. Lu Feidu thought that the defeated enemy could not plan a sneak attack and did not take it to heart. This led to the enemy coming. During the attack, there were no decent soldiers in the rear troops who could resist. The unruly Qiaojiazhai troops were unable to respond in time to the orderly enemy. This was one of the main reasons for the heavy casualties.
"It's too late to say anything now. Hurry up and count the manpower to see how many casualties there are." Lu Feidu spat viciously. A few curse words popped out of his mouth. He kept looking at the side and did not dare to look at Wu Siying and Bai Qige. .[
Most of the dead and injured were from Qiaojiazhai. Bai Qige felt uncomfortable. Lu Feidu was equally uncomfortable.
After all, they were borrowed reinforcements. Bai Qige didn't intend to say too much to embarrass Wu Siying or Lu Feidu. Until she suddenly realized that Ning Xizui had never been seen. Her heart suddenly felt cold. She grabbed Wu Siying's arm with force: " Where is Mr. Ning? Where is Mr. Ning?"
/
All that was gained was Wusi Eagle's staggering steps back and his trembling lowered head.
Bai Qige didn't know if her face turned pale immediately. She just felt like she suddenly fell into an ice cellar. It was cold and cold from head to toe.
Ning Xizui doesn't know kung fu. If someone protects him in the rain of arrows... the imagination stops abruptly. Bai Qige shakes her head hard. The smile she holds up is hard and stiff: "No way. Mr. Ning is blessed with great fortune. It won't be so easy. Something happened. Someone. Someone. Someone saw Mr. Ning. Tell me quickly. Someone saw it..."
The hasty shouting attracted everyone's attention. But there was one person who could answer.
All the way from Zhao State to the Imperial Capital, the person closest to Bai Qige was Ning Xizui. Everyone knew that the exotic businessman with beautiful eyes had an extraordinary relationship with Bai Qige. And his kindness and humor also infected everyone. A person attracts everyone. It is learned that Ning Xizui disappeared in the attack just now. Whether it is the Hongying Army or the Anling Army, or those from Qiaojiazhai and the Jianghu. Almost everyone is related to Bai Qige had the same reaction. She went through every corpse like crazy, praying that Ning Xizui would be found, and paradoxically hoping that he was not the one who was confirmed to be dead.
Until sunset, Ning Xizui could still be found. Seeing the South City Gate approaching, Bai Qige sat with her eyes straight.
If something unexpected happened to Ning Xizui, could she still live with the huge guilt and sin? Bai Haocheng's death made her heartbroken. The severed marriage to Yi Chen made her heartbroken again. Big chunk. Now all that is left is his family and his confidant Ning Xizui. If he died for her, then there would be no reason in the world for Bai Qige to forgive herself.
"Miss Bai, Miss Bai." A series of urgent calls suddenly came. Lei Laoer, who was responsible for commanding a group of brothers in Qiaojiazhai, ran to Bai Qige out of breath. His eyes were shining brightly. "Miss Bai.
Good news. Someone saw Boss Ning during the battle during the day."
A low cry that was not too loud attracted many people. They cheered and surrounded Bai Qige and Lei Laoer. They all asked about Ning Xizui's condition.
Lei Laoer swallowed and wiped the smelly sweat from his forehead: "That's it. The little Pizi from Xishan was hit by an arrow in the back. He fell asleep until he woke up just now. I heard that the brothers were asking about Boss Ning's situation, so I went to find him.
I went over and said that during the war, I saw a group of people entering the team and chasing Boss Ning to kill him. It was a chaos. Xiaopizi wanted to help Boss Ning but was scattered. He could only watch Boss Ning riding his horse to the west.
He ran away. I don’t know what happened after that.”
"Are you injured? Was he injured when he ran away?" Lu Feidu asked anxiously with a dark face. He almost pinched Lei Laoer's thin arms and legs.
Lei Laoer was in pain. He screamed twice and stepped back: ", injured. Xiaopizi saw that he was clean when he left. He must be injured..."
Hearing this, Lu Feidu let out a long sigh and his face softened slightly: "Fortunately. That guy is smart. As long as he is injured, he will definitely find a way to escape. Otherwise, he would not run away on horseback alone."
Ning Xizui didn't know kung fu, but his horse control skills were better than ordinary people. Logically speaking, as long as he was injured, he would have no problem escaping. However, Bai Qige and Wu Siying were still extremely worried. They couldn't let go of their frowns.
"The person who made the sneak attack must be one of Yi Chenxuan's men. But why did he send people to hunt down Mr. Ning? Wouldn't it be better to kill me or a few generals directly if you have the opportunity?" Bai Qige became more and more nervous as she thought about it. Her fingers were curled up in the hem of her clothes.
There were layers of wrinkles. "It's okay if Mr. Ning escapes. But if he can't escape, I'm really afraid that Yi Chenxuan will have some plans for him."
Lu Feidu was stunned for a moment. His face was confused: "He...he is just a businessman. Why is King An Ning watching him? Because he provided food and grass to the Warring States Period before."
"No. It's impossible. King An Ning is very interested in the battle of Yaozhao. He won't argue with a businessman. It must be for other reasons." Wu Siying took a deep breath and stood facing Bai Qige. "The third lady, Wu Siying said
It’s inappropriate to say that… Mr. Ning has become the target of King An Ning. I’m afraid the root cause is you.”
Before Bai Qige could respond, Ye Huawan beside her became angry first. He rushed in front of Wu Siying and gave Wu Siying a show of punches: "What's the matter with Sister Bai? Who could have thought of who that lunatic wanted to kill or bully? How could he?"
Whenever something goes wrong, blame it on Sister Bai. You guys... you stinky old men, you unreasonable old men."
"Yi Zi, stop talking."
Bai Qige took the excited little girl back behind her and looked up at Wu Siying, who was frowning. Her eyes were dark. She did not deny his guess, but asked a rhetorical question that surprised everyone.[
"It is indeed possible for Yi Chenxuan to attack the people around me. However, Military Advisor Wu Siying. The source of Mr. Ning's pursuit. Are you sure it has something to do with your Anling country?"
