"Very good. I'm going back to the palace now. I'll leave this place to you to guard. I hope you won't let me down!" After saying that, He Lianzhi turned and left.
Helianqi stood there, watching his leaving figure. This was his last and only chance.
Originally, he wanted to usurp the throne and stand on his own, but he didn't expect that Heimuzana disrupted all his plans, causing him to end up in the miserable end today. He was almost poisoned by Brother Wang. Today's powerful enemy is besieging him, and this is the beginning of all this.
Because he is greedy for power, if he hadn't attracted Kuromuzana in the first place, nothing would have happened.
"Brother Wang, don't worry. Even if I die, I will protect the queen." Helianqi looked at his leaving back and said silently.
Shan Yuwu held the child in her arms. Since Cen Xue left, Helianzhi had not looked at the child at all. She had always taken care of the child. Without breast milk, she asked Xuanwu to go down the mountain to find two wet nurses.
The child cannot go hungry.
Opening the door, He Lianzhi's tall figure walked into the room for the first time. He looked at the child held in Shan Yuwu's hands and walked forward with an expressionless face: "Is this Gu He Cen Xue's child?
"
Shan Yuwu glared at him angrily and said, "What do you think?"
"Let Gu Gu give me a hug." Helianzhi reached over and took the child in her arms.
But who would have expected that as soon as the child was in Helianzhi's hands, he started crying loudly. This crying made the other little guy who was already asleep on the bed also start crying, "Wow...
"
"Zhi, there are no outsiders here, and don't blame me for telling you. It has been so many days since the child was born, and you have never come to see the child. You stay with Cen Xue in the forbidden area every day. I know your affection for Cen Xue, but you
Don’t forget the words Cen Xue gave you before she died, asking you to take good care of yourself
He loves his children and raises them up! They are all pre-term children. If it weren't for the miracle doctor Guigu taking care of them these days, do you think they would be fat and healthy and cry for free?" Shan Yuwu said angrily.
She accused him and took the baby girl in his hand back into her arms.
"Gu Wuhu, when we return to the palace, Gu will confer upon them, one will be the eldest prince, and the other will be the Pearl Princess!" Helianzhi looked at the crying baby in her arms, and Cen Xue's words seemed to echo in his mind.
.
"Do you think this is enough? They are so young, can they understand the glory and wealth? What they want is father's love, the love of you as a father." She really felt sad for these two children.
Fortunately, she is here and can take care of them. If they return to the palace, they will have to be taken care of by the old nuns in the palace. If they take good care of them, it is okay, but I am afraid it will not be good for the children.
It's troublesome, since my mother is never around, the children are pitiful.
"I understand what you said. Don't worry, I will take good care of them in the future." Helianzhi walked to the bed, picked up the baby boy lying on the bed, and carefully cared for him in his arms.
Seeing him like this, Shan Yuwu stopped talking to him and let him think about it.
After everything was arranged, Helianzhi, Qinglong and ten guards set off first. Xuanwu led the team and led the rest of the soldiers to escort Shan Yuwu and the child back to the palace. Yuwu was pregnant and had to take care of two children.
Of course, Cheng couldn't hurry up, but now that the military situation was dire, Helianzhi couldn't wait any longer and had no choice but to leave the three of them behind.
He Lianjue was anxiously waiting for Brother Wang's return. Without the military talisman in Brother Wang's hand, he would not be able to mobilize the hundred thousand troops in the city. Tianye was already approaching Hongshan City. If it continued like this, the army would really come to the city.
Already.
"My lord, don't be anxious. Your lord should be back soon." Shan Xiong comforted him. In fact, he himself was very worried.
It has been almost ten days since the emergency letter was sent out, but why is there still no movement? Could it be that there is something wrong with the carrier pigeon? This is what he is most worried about.
"Can I not be anxious? Yu Wu has been gone for so long, and no news has been sent back. Now, alas..." This really made Helian Jue anxious.
"Report—the king has returned to the city!" a guard shouted and rushed into Helian Jue's study.
This news came as timely as rain and dew. When Helianjue heard it, his eyes lit up, he grabbed the guard who came to report the news and asked anxiously: "Where is the king, and who did he come back with?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty returned to the city with Commander Qinglong and rushed to the school grounds as soon as they entered the city." The guard told what he knew.
"Okay, old prime minister, you will immediately summon the ministers to go to court to discuss tactics. I will rush to the school grounds to meet my brother." After saying this, Helianjue picked up his sword and rushed out.
Shan Xiong did not dare to delay. According to what he said, he immediately summoned the ministers to go to court and waited for the king to return to the palace to discuss important matters!
He Lianzhi rushed back to the capital in five days. He also analyzed the situation along the way. There were about 160,000 troops in the Loulan Kingdom. There were 10,000 troops stationed in the northwest border city. The southeastern border was the main route into the Loulan Kingdom.
, so there are more than 20,000 troops guarding Hongshan City, and the remaining 130,000 troops are all in the capital. General Yuwentai
The army led an army of 30,000 to resist the enemy on the northwest border, and there were still 100,000 troops left in the capital. He only needed to personally lead an army of 60,000 to Hongshan City for support. Adding the original 20,000 troops stationed in Redwood City, the total would be 80,000 troops.
Against the 80,000-strong army joined by Dongou and Tianye, I believe that with 80,000 against 80,000, the Loulan Kingdom will definitely win.
In the school grounds, He Lianjue had already mobilized his troops, horses, and supplies, and he was just waiting for Brother Wang to come back and take out his military talismans before setting off immediately!
"Today we, Loulan, are facing a powerful enemy. As men of Loulan Kingdom, you should pick up the broadswords and spears in your hands, drive those thieves who invade our land out of Loulan, and protect our families and our country!"
He Lianzhi stood on the high platform. He rushed all the way back and stayed up all night. After entering the city, he ran straight to the school grounds.
"Defend our homeland and fight the enemy to the death!" In the audience, 60,000 troops shouted in unison with great momentum.
When He Lianjue arrived, He Lianzhi had already drawn his sword and asked the army to immediately set off to the border city of Hongshan for support.
"Brother Wang—" He Lianjue ran up to him and looked at the man with a beard on his face and bloodshot eyes. Is this really his brother "He Lianzhi"?
"Jue, you came just in time. You will lead the 60,000 troops to set off first. I want to go back to the palace to arrange some things, and I have to wait for Yu Wu and the child to come back." He Lianzhi's energy was almost at its limit. He really
He needs rest and children, and his and Cen Xue's child is still on the way.
"Child? What about Cen Xue?" Helian Jue frowned and looked at him, trying to find the answer on his face.
He Lianzhi was speechless for a moment. Looking at his brother's anxious eyes and expression, he lowered his head and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Cen Xue, she's gone..."
He Lianjue knew the answer with these simple words. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Looking at the haggard and tired man in front of him, he knew that he had tried his best.
"How did Cen Xue leave..." He Lianjue didn't know how he asked this question.
Helianzhi raised his head and looked at the blue sky, as if looking for Cen Xue's smile.
"Difficult labor, excessive blood loss, resulting in hemorrhagic collapse." He Lianzhi said angrily.
Helian didn't speak at all, but just nodded. When the two brothers looked at each other at the same level, they didn't need to say the right words. The two brothers could already feel the sadness of the other.
Xing Aotian, the king of Tianye Kingdom, has always been ambitious to dominate the Easton Continent since he came to the throne. However, the most powerful country in the Easton Continent has always been the Loulan Kingdom. He has tried several times
The leading troops wanted to attack Hongshan City on the border of Loulan Kingdom, but they were defeated by the army led by Yu Wentai and retreated steadily.
He had already heard of the Heimu family of the Papiya tribe. In fact, when Heimuzhana entered Tianye's range, he had already noticed her whereabouts. Loulan's country was full of the Tianye Kingdom's meticulous work.
He would know about any changes in the palace.
Before, he had been worried that Heimuzana would surrender to Loulan Kingdom, but he never expected that things would turn out like that. God help me! r
"Your Majesty, I have just received the legend of the flying pigeon from the high priest." Xing Aotian's personal guard handed the pigeon he had just received into his hands.
Xing Aotian released the carrier pigeon and took out the secret letter. Now Heimuzana is the high priest of Tianye Kingdom. She did not follow Xing Aotian to besiege Hongshan City. Instead, she visited various northwest tribes and asked them to unite to attack Loulan Kingdom.
The northwest border makes them hard to guard against.r
After Heimuzana learned that Papiya was razed to the ground by the Loulan Kingdom, a raging fire of revenge burned in her heart. The entire tribe was killed by the Loulan Kingdom. Now, only Heimuzhi and a dozen of her subordinates are around her.
, if you want revenge, you must rely on a strong person, and Tianye Kingdom and Loulan have always been at odds, so they are her favorite targets.
Xing Aotian looked at the secret letter in her hand. The content was actually very simple. She just informed him that she had successfully lobbied more than a dozen small tribes and gathered tens of thousands of people to attack the northwest border. Everything was under control.
With a proud smile on his lips, Xing Aotian seemed to have seen victory: "Give me the order, let the army be well fed and drunk tonight, and attack the city tomorrow!"
"According to the decree——"
Xing Aotian has no patience to wait anymore. There are only 20,000 defenders in Hongshan City now, and Helian Jue is not here. He must take advantage of this great opportunity to defeat Hongshan in one fell swoop before Nangong Jin of Dongou Kingdom arrives.
Take Shancheng and take the lead in sealing Nangong Jin’s mouth!
Dong Ou has always been an ally of Lou Lan, and he has no contact with Tian Ye on weekdays. This time, Nangong Jin came to join him with an army of 30,000. He naturally knew what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, but he never thought about it.
He snatched the piece of fat from his hands.
Tianye's 50,000-strong army is camped on a plain less than twenty miles away from Hongshan City. The king has given orders to attack the city tomorrow. Tonight, the soldiers will feast on good wine and meat. They will march into the palace early tomorrow morning.
Hongshan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is surrounded by cliffs and it is impossible to climb up. The entrance to Loulan Kingdom is from between these two mountains, and Hongshan City is built at the entrance between the two mountains. The city wall is as high as ten meters.
Zhang (30 meters), the city gate is made of hard and solid black gold
Well, the ordinary method of hitting wood cannot break open the only door for entry and exit. There is also a moat outside. The water source of this moat is a lake not far outside the city. It has nothing to do with the drinking water in the city, so I want to
Tampering with water sources simply doesn't work.
At this time, the 60,000-strong army led by He Lianjue was also on the way to Hongshan City. As long as He Long held the 20,000-strong garrison for five days, the 60,000-strong army led by He Long would be able to arrive and merge together.
With 80,000 troops defending the city, there is no need to fear the alliance between Tianye and Dongou.
