The unclear question confused the others. In the silence, Wu Siying's expression was extremely unnatural, and it took him a long time before he could speak as usual.
"We will discuss these issues later. It is important to find someone first."
Bai Qige withdrew her gaze and waved to Xu Zezhi: "General Xu, you choose a few smarter people to go with Uncle Lei to find Mr. Ning. I and others will continue to go to the palace as planned. If we find Mr. Ning, there is no need to bring him here.
If you chase us, you can send him to Qiaojiazhai or Yiye Villa."
"The last general takes orders."
Just when Xu Zezhi was about to leave to select someone, Lu Feidu stretched out his arm to stop him, but glanced at Bai Qige: "We also contributed some manpower. After all, the defense of the people in the rear was caused by my negligence." [
"It's up to you." Bai Qige replied dully, and the expression on her face was even more indifferent.
It was about Ning Xizui. She really couldn't deal with Wu Siying and Lu Feidu in a friendly manner, and the deeper speculation made her feel disturbed and difficult to settle down.
Right now, I can only pray that Ning Xizui is safe.
The imperial capital was an important part of the capital. It was barely reasonable for Bai Qige to lead the soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom to break in as a liberator, but it was inconvenient for a third party, the Anling Kingdom, to enter. However, after breaking through the south city gate, Lu Feidu consciously left four thousand troops outside the city.
, the Hongying Army and Yi Chenjing's private soldiers were responsible for the direct attack on Huanglong, while the others were in the city at any time.
The Dayao Imperial Palace has the tallest wall in Zhongzhou. The imperial guards in the palace control crossbows, trebuchets, artillery and other extremely lethal weapons. When her eyes touched the imperial guards on the palace wall who were ready for battle, Bai Qige knew that this battle would not be easy.
It's as simple as attacking the imperial capital and breaking through the surrounding soldiers.
Sure enough, the well-trained imperial guards in the palace launched a swift and powerful counterattack when the siege team launched their first offensive. Faced with the constant flying of crossbows and the roar of cannons, the red tassel army personally trained by the military god Bai Haocheng actually
It was also difficult to break through quickly, so the two sides started a fierce battle at Zhengyang Gate, the south gate of the palace.
The artillery used by the Forbidden Army were all cast more than fifty years ago. They have average lethality and poor aiming. The only high quality is the sound. When the sound of the artillery is heard in Ziyun Palace, it is as if it is being fired around you.
"The south of the city is the area where people live most densely. I don't know how many houses will be destroyed by this bombardment, and I can't count how many people will become ghosts in the ruins. In the end, no matter which side the people hit, they will only hate them."
Putting the green grapes into his mouth, he bit it gently, and the sour and sweet juice filled his mouth and tongue. Yi Chenxuan frowned slightly, and then relaxed it, as if he liked this level of sourness very much.
"War will inevitably cause casualties. Although the people hate war, they all understand the reason. Whoever provokes the war will be hated by the people who want to destroy our country." The queen is neither humble nor overbearing, and still maintains the grace and nobility of the mother of a country.
Yi Chenxuan chuckled and shifted his gaze from the quiet scenery outside to the golden cage in the corner: "For so many years, the queen has always believed in the illusory justice? If there was retribution in the world, you would not be a queen at all now.
But what I am doing now is an act of justice, to seek justice for the prince who was persecuted to death."
"I don't want to waste any time talking to you. Bai Qige will definitely be able to attack if she can reach the palace. Those spineless generals under your command will definitely not be able to stop her. Who will win and lose by then?
Only the winner will know who will be the loser, so you can only laugh at this moment."
As if he heard something ridiculous and interesting, Yi Chenxuan bent over with a smile and waved his hands. It took him a long time to calm down, breathe and speak properly.
"Didn't the queen look carefully at the expression on the second uncle's face? The second uncle's expression tells you that he is not so optimistic." Putting down the large bunch of crystal grapes in his hand, Yi Chenxuan walked to the cage and squatted down, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with laughter.
With a cold expression, "In the past, I was widely supported when I was the fifth prince. Nearly half of the ministers in the court wanted me to take the throne. Does the Queen really think that I only have a few thousand private soldiers? To tell you the truth, the three thousand soldiers and horses in the imperial capital are just
I have less than 10% of all my private soldiers. Some of the remaining people went to Zhao Kingdom to attack the capital Liang Shi, and the other part went to Lingxi County to deal with the bandits in Qiaojiazhai. I want Bai Qige to have no place in this world.
Let her fully understand the consequences of going against me!"
Her elegant face was almost distorted when she growled, and the queen was so bold that she could not help but feel a chill in her heart. She subconsciously retreated to the edge of the cage and tightly held the stiff hand of Emperor Yao.
Yi Chenxuan's plan can be said to be extremely bold and unprepared. No matter how much Bai Qige thought about it, she would never have imagined that Zhaoguo and Qiaojiazhai would be threatened by war at this time. What's even more frightening is that Yi Chenxuan actually controls the situation with him.
What else did he not know about the details of the allied forces fighting against him? The queen secretly took a deep breath, and the palms of her hands that were intertwined with Emperor Yao became tighter.
Bai Qige, the woman who has been repeatedly made things difficult for her and Yao Huang, is Yao Guo's only hope at the moment.
The door of the inner hall creaked, and a man dressed in bright red appeared at the door. His tone was quite angrily: "Why do you still have the time to stay here? Didn't I tell you that the kid escaped? If I hadn't gone to the prison in time, even the prince would have died.
They will all be rescued by him!"
"What are you arguing about? If anything happens, you will yell. Why are you left here?" Yi Chenxuan lowered his face and said impatiently.[
Ruan Yanluo was furious. If he hadn't seen Emperor Yao and the Queen making sarcastic remarks earlier, he could not help but groan when he remembered that Ou Suiliang and Fu Chu had escaped one after another due to Yi Chenxuan's indifference, slamming the door and leaving.
"You are a citizen of Zhongzhou, but you colluded with the Monan barbarians, which has completely disgraced the royal family." Upon seeing this, the queen had an idea and pretended to be angry.
/
Yi Chenxuan shrugged and walked back to the cage: "It's not about collusion. She is also one of my chess pieces, just like you and Lao Qi. I wonder if Zhongzhou people have a rebellious nature in their bones.
Jinyan and Qi'er have betrayed me one after another, who else can I use if I don't need these stupid alien fools? Anyway, what they want is of no use to me, so just giving them some random rewards can get a group of people begging for mercy."
"Yi Chenxuan, what conditions did you promise those barbarians? How could you give away the vast country with just a word?!"
"When did I say that I would give them faraway lands?" Yi Chenxuan sneered, "It's true that they want land, but I have to be willing to give it away. If I really lose to Bai Qige, then I will have to fight with Yan Huguo
The agreement is naturally void, so the most important thing for the queen to do now is to shut up and pray in her heart, hoping that Bai Qige can live up to expectations and kill me, so that everything will be perfect."
The queen's eyes were always fixed on Yi Chenxuan's face, so when Yi Chenxuan said these words, the flash of silence in his expression did not escape the queen's eyes.
What does that silence mean? His remaining conscience or something else? The queen couldn't guess, she just felt that there was no sense of pride in Yi Chenxuan's words waiting for victory, but instead there was a calmness of waiting for the end of fate.
Is this person... really Yi Chenxuan?
"Why have you worked so hard to get to this point but kept dragging it on?" In confusion, the queen spoke in a low voice, but was drowned out by another wave of rumbling cannons outside the palace. She originally wanted to continue asking, but suddenly there was a slight touch on the palm of her hand, and the queen
He lowered his head in surprise and saw a flicker in Yao Huang's cloudy eyes.
"What?" He lowered his head and leaned against Yaohuang's mouth. He didn't hear any sound for a long time. When the queen raised her head again, Yi Chenxuan was no longer there, and only the door was left closed. The queen sighed, her tone was quite complaining.
: "Although he is not my biological son, he is as puzzling as you. I really don't understand what he wants to do. Now I just hope that Bai Qige can successfully break through the blockade and come to rescue people. I don't know how my son is doing and whether he can survive.
Stick to Bai Qige"
There was another round of rubbing on her palm, and the queen stopped talking and looked at Yaohuang with a frown, and was immediately stunned.
How could he shed tears despite being as strong as he is? Who are these tears for?
"Save... Xuan'er..." He used all his strength to utter a hoarse voice. Yaohuang squeezed the queen's palm, closed his eyes, and let the tears boil in the corners of his eyes.
The queen was not sure if she heard it wrong. Yi Chenxuan launched a palace coup to imprison his brothers and father. Why should he save such a rebellious person? His hands were stained with blood and he had countless sins on his back. How many people would die in peace after saving him?
?This father and son, who have a blood feud, are really both madmen.
Ziyun Palace lost its tranquility in the sound of gunfire, and the Tianlao was no exception. The smell of gunpowder smoke entered the cells through the long and dark corridor and penetrated into the ears of the sleeping people.
"Did the fight start..." Yi Chen opened his eyes, with a bitter smile on his lips, "She is still... here..."
In the dark corner outside the cell, the young jailer huddled up with his knees in his arms. He stared blankly at the old jailer's body being eaten by snakes not far away, and couldn't help but tremble. He and Yi Chen were the only two left in the sky jail.
As a living person, that kind of fear is indescribable but real. When he heard Yi Chen speak, the little jailer seemed to have seen a ray of light in the midst of despair, and he rolled and climbed onto the iron bars of the cell.
"Snake, snake! Snake eats people!"
"Of course snakes can eat people. If you don't kill it, you can only make it its food." After a short rest, his limbs seemed to have some feeling. Yi Chen tried to move his arm and felt a sharp tearing pain from the wound on his shoulder. He
I still remember seeing Fu Chu before he fainted. It shouldn't be a dream, but looking at the situation in front of me, Fu Chu who tried to save him failed. He coughed and spat out the blood in his mouth, and Yi Chen tried to talk to the frightened little boy.
Jailer dialogue: "Don't move around. The more you move around, the more snakes will pay attention to you."
"Oh, oh..." The little jailer followed Yi Chen's words and stopped moving. Sure enough, the snakes ignored him and concentrated on surrounding the old jailer's body. Maybe it was because finally someone could talk, and slowly,
The little jailer was no longer so scared, and leaned against the iron fence and tried to talk to Yi Chen: "Does the prince's shoulder hurt? There is a lot of blood..."
"It hurts a little, but it won't hurt my life. Yi Chenxuan doesn't intend to let me die." Yi Chen smiled bitterly.
"The Crown Prince and Prince An Ning...are obviously brothers..." He sighed with half emotion and half confusion. The little jailer leaned towards Yi Chenjing again and suddenly lowered his voice, "Prince, the person who came to save you just now is okay.
