Liu Hua Xiang flew to Chang'an, and Xiao Liu's five sisters shuttled among the ruins, collecting wood to heat cold water for Zhang Yi to take a hot bath.
At this time, King Liu Kai had taken medicine and fell asleep, and he was finally able to have a peaceful sleep.
Zhang Yi was sitting in a wooden bucket specially designed for bathing, watching the girls running around. Some were adding hot water, while others were bringing pastries, which made him very embarrassed. There were petals floating in the water, and his privacy was still protected.
, just a little flattered.
Princess Xiaoliu personally kneaded his shoulders. They were the most beautiful hands in the world. They were slender and delicate, with slender fingers that were light and relaxed, as if they were carved from beautiful jade. Zhang Yi was so excited that he almost fainted. This was the happiest moment in his life.
"Is this good? Isn't it too luxurious?" Zhang Yi asked anxiously. He was used to suffering and lived a self-disciplined and ascetic life. This kind of high treatment was unbearable for him.
"Luxury?" Princess Xiaoliu asked in surprise, "Yi Ge, it's just for the hero to take a hot bath. Where does the luxury come from?"
Oh, only then did Zhang Yi realize that the sense of luxury came from the personal care of the incomparably beautiful princess, which was not too much. Xiao Liu was his fiancée.
The princess had a free and uninhibited side to her character, especially after experiencing life and death disasters. She just wanted to make her step brother feel more comfortable, so she went beyond the constraints of etiquette and arranged a hot bath for him.
Of course, Xiao Liu was also shy, especially when Zhang Yi grabbed her hand and kissed her, her face turned red. The couple was immersed in love and wished that time would last forever.
Unfortunately, there is not so much time left for the two of them.
"Sister-in-law, has your sworn brother finished taking a bath?" Shi Gandang shouted from a distance.
"It takes a shower, you're really a fat guy." Xiao Liu muttered.
"Maybe he is in a hurry." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
Xiao Liu turned around, Zhang Yi put on his bathrobe, and asked Shi Gandang to come over and talk.
Shi Gandang is not here alone, Xiaolong, Xiao Han and Wang Zheng are all here. The brothers are all responsible for national affairs. If you interrupt the good time of your sworn brother, something big must happen.
"Brother Yi, if it weren't for a military emergency, how could we dare to step into the princess's palace." General Wang Zhengda apologized repeatedly.
Zhang Yi looked around and saw that the once exquisite princess palace had been turned into ruins by the bombing of catapults, which made people feel regretful.
"It's okay," Xiao Liu put his hand on his step brother's shoulder and said with an open-minded smile, "Let's just wait for the day of peace and rebuild our home."
"Yes, we will definitely build a big palace for my sister-in-law and step-brother." Shi Gandang said with a smile.
"That's not necessary, as long as we have a shelter from the wind and rain," Zhang Yi turned to look at Xiaoliu and saw her nodding in agreement. As long as lovers are together, it is enough. There is no way that extravagance and lust will lead to corruption.
, Zhang Yi smiled and brought up the business, "Brother Wang, please speak."
General Wang Zhengda is currently in charge of the Ministry of War. Military information from all over the country must first be gathered to him, and he will sort it out before reporting it to Zhang Yi.
"Brother Yi," Wang Zheng said solemnly, "Wu Rui and Liu Guang joined forces and caused great harm. Now Weinan, Diao Pu, Dali, Zhou Zhi, Meng Yuan, Mizhi, Suide, Yichuan, Luochuan
,Wubao,
Twelve cities, including Ansai and Dingjing, have all rebelled. In addition, I have just received an emergency from the border. Little China has invaded the southern border and attacked Shangluo and Ankang. The frontline of the army is only three hundred miles away from Chang'an."
After Wang Zheng finished his report, everyone was speechless for a moment. Everyone's heart seemed to be pulled by a tight bowstring, making it difficult to breathe and feeling deeply uneasy.
The development of the matter was much more serious than expected. After the Chang'an rebellion was crushed in a bloody battle, everyone thought they could breathe a little easier, but unexpectedly a bigger crisis was coming.
You know, tomorrow Liu Guang will lead the northern army to Chang'an. This army is the main force of the Kingdom of China and should have been deployed to quell rebellions in various places and repel the invaders.
Internal and external troubles are coming at the same time. It can be said that the house is leaking and it is raining. The Kingdom of China is facing the greatest crisis in its history and is in danger of overturning at any time.
This is the biggest test for Zhang Yi’s team.
In the past, when dealing with the overlord General Cao, if he couldn't defeat him, he could still run away and fight guerrillas in the mountains, using flexible tactics to defeat the enemy.
But now, there is no way to retreat. Chang'an is here and must be defended. The fall of Chang'an means the destruction of the country and the family.
The only forces Zhang Yi can rely on are 3,000 Yulin troops and 8,000 Mopan City warriors. Niu Ben will definitely be able to arrive tomorrow morning, no doubt.
Although they currently have the support of various major families, it is difficult to form a strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time. They can only rely on city wall defense and cannot send out to compete with the regular army.
"Damn Wu Rui, and my stupid uncle Liu Guang, I hate them so much, the country will be destroyed in their hands!" Princess Xiao Liu clenched her fists and shouted angrily.
Zhang Yi grabbed Xiaoliu's hand and pulled her to sit next to her. The poor girl was shaking all over, angry and anxious.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Liu, let's focus on dealing with the northern army first," Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I will persuade Liu Guang that if he is a person with general knowledge, he should face the national crisis with us and go south to repel the small army. Chinese invasion, recapture of rebellious cities.”
"If he persists in his opinion, we will have no choice but to kill him for justice." Xiaolong said, this was to prepare Xiaoliu mentally.
Xiaoliu nodded without hesitation, with tears shining in his eyes. Even a biological uncle could not single-handedly destroy the country that his father had worked so hard to build! This was his father's hard work, and this was his husband's foundation to unify China!
Xiao Liu understands this truth.
Once the country is torn apart and trampled upon by invaders, tens of millions of people will suffer, and millions of people may die in the war.
King Liu Kai will die with his eyes open, and Zhang Yi will fall into the trough. How difficult it is to make a comeback!
"As Brother Yi said, there is a cliff behind us, and there is no way out." Princess Xiaoliu said firmly, "Brothers, the national crisis is facing us, we must fight until the last moment, I believe Brother Yi will lead us to victory! "
Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Shi Gandang and Wang Zheng looked up at the princess in surprise. She was so determined. Under her unparalleled beauty, she also had a brave heart!
"She is such a good sister-in-law to us. You and your sworn brother are really a perfect match!" Xiao Han high-fived and praised, representing the aspirations of everyone.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but slap his legs and laugh. He couldn't control the excitement and joy in his heart. With Xiaoliu's words, this life is enough. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, he has the confidence to rush through!
The brothers couldn't help but laugh. Even though there are many crises and demons are dancing around at the moment, the true qualities of a hero can only be shown when we are united and invincible when the sea is flowing!
