Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were sitting in the pavilion with a pot of tea on the table. The leaves of the trees next to them had begun to turn yellow.
The weather is still very hot in Nanliang, but autumn has begun to appear in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The climate difference between the south and the north is obvious.
"Fourth sister, how did you fall in love with Long Chengen?"
Di Luoxi has accepted the fact that Di Lingyi wants to snatch Long Chen from her.
The two began to discuss some deep topics, such as this.
Di Luoxi drank tea and slowly recalled her encounter with Long Chen.
"Let's just start. Didn't we have a poetry contest with Nanliang at that time? I think he speaks very well, much better than the ministers in the court, and better than the second sister."
Among the four sisters, Di Xingwan was the most talented, so Di Luoxi took Di Xingwan out to talk about her.
"I didn't expect that my bet was right. He is actually better than Yu Shinan."
"Then...then, actually, it's nothing. I just think I found a good eunuch and it's fun."
"Later, I fought in Linjiang City and found out that this man was quite powerful."
"Slowly... the more we get along with each other, the more we will develop feelings for each other."
"But before, I treated him as one of my subordinates."
"It wasn't until I heard that Deadwood Pill could be refined that I changed my mind."
Di Luoxi didn't have any romantic feelings for Long Chen at first.
Because since childhood, the empress has said that they don't need men.
So Di Luoxi didn't think about it that way.
But as we get along slowly, we develop feelings for each other.
This is probably what the so-called love grows over time.
"Where is Third Sister? You and Long Chengen don't spend much time together."
Di Luoxi asked Di Lingyi how she fell in love with Long Chen.
"When he arrives at Yanmen Pass, I just want to steal someone from you."
"After a big battle, I found out that he was really good."
"And...some other things."
Di Lingyi smiled and said nothing, Di Luoxi said: "During the snowstorm, can I hold you to sleep?"
Di Lingyi was a little embarrassed and said, "Yes, the snow was really heavy that night, and then... I felt really safe in his arms."
Di Luoxi said coldly: "I told Qingyue and Xuanyi to follow them and not let you come into contact."
"Something went wrong in the end."
While the two sisters were talking, Yingfeng walked in from outside and said, "Two princesses, the Holy One is looking for you."
Di Luoxi asked: "What happened?"
Yingfeng said: "The matter about King Wu."
When they heard that it was about Long Chen, the two of them immediately got up and followed Yingfeng to the imperial study room.
"Queen mother, what happened to Xiao Longlong?"
Di Luoxi was very anxious and asked as soon as she entered the door.
The empress smiled and said: "Nothing, a good thing."
"Let's take a look at the secret report he sent."
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi read the secret report together, and they said happily: "This little dragon is really cunning."
The empress said: "According to Long Chengen, Tianxiahui and Li Chengdao will eventually join forces, and there will be a big war in the south by then."
"You two go to Linjiang City and Caishi City immediately to prevent Li Chengdao from making a sneak attack."
The two stood up and worshiped: "My son, I obey."
The two of them immediately returned to the palace and headed south with their generals.
....
Nanliang, Jinling City.
Li Chengdao was sitting in the imperial study, with He Xu and Jiang Hui, the commander-in-chief of the South Camp, standing in front of him, and Xuan Jizi sitting next to him.
Zhong Gui came in and said, "Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu is back."
Li Chengdao nodded, and Yu Ziming, Minister of War, walked in from outside, still wearing armor.
"The humble minister Yu Ziming pays homage to the Emperor."
Yu Ziming bowed.
Li Chengdao glanced at Zhong Gui, who immediately asked Yu Ziming to sit down and talk.
"How's it going?"
"Back to the emperor, after several days of fierce fighting, all the halls of the Tianxiahui were pacified."
"What's the damage?"
"The loss was huge. The world would have been prepared. 20,000 soldiers were killed and 30,000 injured."
He Xu and Jiang Hui's expressions changed slightly, they didn't expect the loss to be so huge.
Li Chengdao chuckled and said: "Long Chengen was still smart. He used tricks to launch a sneak attack and destroyed the Tianxiahui at the minimum cost. He also killed two elders and several masters, and beat Ji Ba until he dared not see anyone.
.”
"I mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight like this."
Everyone in the imperial study looked unhappy.
I have to admit that Long Chen will do a great job in destroying the world.
Xixia paid a heavy price, and Nanliang suffered even more.
"Tell me how to attack?"
Li Chengdao returned to his expressionless look and said in a calm tone.
Jiang Hui glanced at He Xu and said, "If you want to destroy the Tianxiahui, it's actually very easy."
"Just transport the catapults and burn them with kerosene, and Fuyuan Tower can be reduced to ashes."
Nanliang has the advantage of troops and siege equipment. If you really want to destroy it, it is not difficult.
Previously, Li Chengdao was determined to incorporate the Tianxiahui, but he showed mercy.
"He Xu, what do you think?"
Li Chengdao asked He Xu, the general in charge of the southern camp.
He Xu has a thick waist, round face and small eyes, and is in his 30s.
He Xu replied: "The general also thinks that it is not difficult to level Fuyuan Tower."
Both of them said this. Li Chengdao looked at Xuan Jizi and asked, "What does the Taoist think?"
Xuanjizi stood up and said: "The world will be very cruel and cruel, and now we can no longer be merciful."
Li Chengdao said with a little regret: "It's a pity...it could have been used by me."
"Kill! It's up to you!"
Several people exited the imperial study room.
Yu Ziming came back, and as the Minister of War, he was in charge of overall planning.
Xuanjizi became a military advisor, and Jiang Hui and He Xu became generals.
Because Lian Xin's arm was stung by a moth, her right arm could not use force and she could not continue to participate in the battle.
Troops and generals were deployed in the city, catapults and kerosene were slowly transported to the north of the city, and the people retreated to the south.
Inside Fuyuan Building.
Wu Yue and others have already noticed Li Chengdao's intention.
Hua Yiyi said anxiously: "Elder, Li Chengdao wants to burn Fuyuan Tower to ashes."
Wu Yue frowned and said helplessly: "Old Song went too far, and Li Chengdao jumped over the wall in a hurry."
Zuo Si said coldly: "What's the matter? Lao Pan is dead. We have so many casualties. What's wrong with killing tens of thousands of him?"
Wu Yue said: "That's not what you said. Our ultimate goal is to cooperate with Li Chengdao, not to fight to the death."
"If Li Chengdao throws kerosene, our Fuyuan Building will definitely be a scorched earth."
"So I said, it's gone too far."
Hua Yiyi asked: "Elder, what should we do now?"
Wu Yue thought for a while and said, "Let's negotiate. I'll go and talk to Li Chengdao."
Hua Yiyi glanced at Zuo Si. Although he was tough on his words, he knew in his heart that he could only do this.
"Then shall I contact you?"
"You go ahead."
Hua Yiyi left the backyard and went to the front.
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army and the South Camp reorganized in front of the tower, with more than a dozen catapults facing the tower.
The ground is sprinkled with realgar powder to prevent poisonous insects from attacking.
Hua Yiyi found a smart-talking man and told him to go to the military camp opposite and tell him that Elder Wu Yue wanted to negotiate with Li Chengdao.
The messenger immediately left the city to deliver the message.
