The cold dew at night wetted Jingxuan's white plain clothes, and the solemn moonlight cast a veil over the dragon kingdom. The two of them just cuddled together.
Until the next day, when the morning dew on the high platform was subsided by the scorching sun, Long Yuan opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the bustling officials under the high platform. Then he protected Jing Xuan and walked to the edge of the high platform, looking down at everyone.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" The ministers below all stepped forward and looked up at Long Yuan.
"Speak!" Long Yuan rubbed his eyes impatiently. He knew what these people wanted to say. And these were just to give face to those so-called ministers.
"Your Majesty, I am going to present the blood of all the people in the hope that Your Majesty can take back the land north of the Huanglong River! Offer up the demon concubine! In order to ensure that the Dragon Kingdom is safe!" As they said, these people actually produced a huge silk scroll, and the scroll came from
The high platform led directly to the city gate in the distance. Long Yuan, who was really on the high platform, looked at the blood-red writing on the scroll.
"Demon concubine?" After hearing this, Long Yuan subconsciously hugged Jingxuan tightly.
"What will happen to the imperial concubine if the Dragon Kingdom is defeated?" Long Yuan was already angry at this time.
"But when all countries attack, they have only one purpose, and that is to get the imperial concubine. If your majesty can sacrifice the imperial concubine, then in the Dragon Kingdom, your majesty will live forever!"
"It's ridiculous! You should go outside the customs and see how ferocious the Western cavalry are, how sharp their weapons are, and how advanced their equipment is! Instead of settling for perfection here! Attributing the failure to the imperial concubine." And even though Long
Yuan tried his best to hold Jingxuan in his arms, but Jingxuan was still deeply hurt by the words of the minister below.
"It turns out that the imperial concubine that the people of the Beast Kingdom talked about is me. It turns out that the princess you exchanged for the northern city is me!" Jingxuan opened her eyes wide, but still tried her best to smile. She tried her best to break away from Long Yuan's arms and face down.
The crowd shouted: "If my death can bring peace to the Dragon Kingdom, then I wish the Dragon Kingdom prosperity!" After saying that, they ran to the edge of the high platform and jumped down. With everyone's exclamations, Jingxuan landed gracefully from the high platform,
Although Long Yuan tried hard to catch Jingxuan, he had no choice but to hold on to the teardrop before Jingxuan fell. He watched helplessly as his beloved fell off the high platform.
"Quickly, call the doctor! Call the doctor!" Long Yuan also jumped down from the high platform and held the unconscious Jingxuan in his arms. His plain clothes were stained red by the blood on the ground. The crowd also began to boil.
Long Yuan picked up Jingxuan, and his eyes widened with anger. He stepped firmly on the hundred-meter silk scroll on the ground with one foot, and looked at the bright red name on the blood book. Long Yuan hugged Jingxuan and walked to the end of the scroll, and
The blood still dripping from Jingxuan's fingertips drew a red line in the middle of the blood book, from beginning to end. Long Yuan passed the way that the officials made way for him, and then said with a wry smile: "Come here, please write the petition on the blood book."
Kill everyone! Clear the name of the imperial concubine!" After saying that, he resolutely walked out of the city gate. He heard all the officials behind him kneel down and beg. Then the city gate was closed tightly. After a few crisp sounds of swords, the city gate slowly opened.
, the hundred-meter-long scroll was filled with corpses.
Long Yuan came to the imperial doctor's hall surrounded by several waiters. He carefully placed Jingxuan on the bed. Hundreds of doctors were busy around Jingxuan.
"Do your best to save the imperial concubine! If there is anything wrong with the imperial concubine, you will all be buried with her!" Long Yuan waited anxiously outside the main hall, with sweat on his face staining his temples. After a while, an imperial doctor came out, also gently
After sighing and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Long Yuan saw someone come out and grabbed the person's lapel and asked eagerly: "How is the imperial concubine?"
"Your Majesty, please be patient. The imperial concubine is a fairy from the fox tribe. Her body is as graceful as a dragon's. With the help of herbs, she is fine now!"
Hearing this, Long Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Okay, you all go down!"
When everyone left, Long Yuan opened the door and saw Jingxuan lying delicately on the bed. He ran over and helped Jingxuan up. He groped around Jingxuan's body anxiously, for fear that something serious would happen to Jingxuan, but Jingxuan
Resistantly said: "What are you touching!"
"Are you okay?" Long Yuan asked anxiously.
"It's better to just die, they hate me so much!" Jingxuan was a little disappointed.
"I am the king of the Dragon Kingdom. They don't dare to do anything to you as long as I am here!"
"But it's because of me that the beast country and the Westerners came to fight. Maybe I shouldn't stay in the dragon country!" Jingxuan pushed.
"You forgot, I said I will protect you for the rest of my life. Since I like you, my country will not make things difficult for you!" Long Yuan looked at Jingxuan affectionately. Jingxuan showed a happy smile after coughing a few times.
.
"Don't be so careless in the future. If you have any shortcomings, what will I do?" Long Yuan said with concern.
"Huh, so you care about me so much!" Jingxuan smiled and hugged Long Yuan's neck.
"Of course, you are the love of my life!" As he said that, Long Yuan picked up the still weak Jingxuan and planned to take her back to the palace. However, when passing the gate in front of the high platform, Jingxuan saw that the door had been torn apart.
The blood of all nations and the blood stains all over the ground.
"Where are those petitioners?" Jingxuan seemed to have guessed something and asked Long Yuan.
"Oh, he's dead!" Long Yuan's slightly frivolous reply made Jingxuan feel compassionate.
"They are all from the Dragon Kingdom, how could you..." Before Jingxuan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Long Yuan.
"If the people I love risk their lives, shouldn't they die?" Long Yuan said this seemingly as if nothing had happened, but Jingxuan looked up at his expressionless face and just sighed softly, not knowing what to say.
What? Long Yuan sent the still very weak Jingxuan back to the palace, and said comfortingly: "Be good, have a good rest, and wait until I come back!" After saying that, Long Yuan's originally warm smile turned cold and heartless after turning around, and he pushed
He opened the gate and walked to the gate of Canglong City. Below were the people of the Dragon Kingdom. There was a sea of people below. They gathered together and protested in unison to ask Long Yuan to hand over Jingxuan. They shouted that they wanted to restore the territory north of the Huanglong River.
Yuan looked at the bustling crowd below with a pale face, holding the stone bricks on the city wall with both hands. People called him a traitor, a traitor, and cruel and unkind. But in the face of everyone's abuse and slander, Long
Yuan just kept silent. At this time, he endured the insults of his people alone. Until the crowd stopped boiling, he silently walked down the city. He smiled bitterly and said to himself: "I have fought for the country for half my life, but now I end up here.
Such infamy shows that the world is in decline and people's hearts are not as good as before."
Long Yuan returned to the palace alone. There was no waiter around him, and the imperial guards who were guarding the left and right were dismissed by him. Seeing Long Yuan coming back, Jing Xuan got up from the bed and opened her arms to welcome Long Yuan. Long Yuan also lay down tiredly.
In Jingxuan's arms, Jingxuan combed his temples, and Long Yuan held Jingxuan's hand. Perhaps only then could the two of them get some comfort in their hearts. Long Yuan pinched the bridge of his sore nose, not knowing what to say.
something.
There was a cold wind outside the house. "Is your injury better?" Long Yuan closed his eyes, but asked Jingxuan with concern.
"Well, it's no longer a serious problem. What's wrong?"
"Can you dance for me?" Long Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Jingxuan sincerely. After hearing these words, Jingxuan slowly walked to the center of the hall and smiled gently at Long Yuan.
, dancing gracefully in that plain dress. Although there was no music accompaniment, Long Yuan still watched Jingxuan's smiles quietly.
Long Yuan finally couldn't help but pick up the glass wine glass on the table. Along with Jing Xuan's brisk dance steps, he drank the strong wine in the glass. Then he pulled out the long sword and sang along with Jing Xuan.
In this great hall, people drank and drank.
But before the two of them could enjoy themselves, a waiter hurriedly pushed open the crimson door, and a biting cold wind blew into the hall mixed with fallen leaves on the ground.
"Presumptuous!" Long Yuan protected Jingxuan with one hand, and the long sword in his right hand pointed at the waiter's eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, the vanguard of the Netherworld Kingdom has arrived outside Qinglong Pass, and the Beast Kingdom's army is once again marching into Longyang Pass. I'm afraid it's..." Upon hearing this, Long Yuan quickly climbed onto the beacon tower, and saw the beacon fire in the distance stretching for hundreds of miles.
"Finally, we're here!" Long Yuan grabbed the waiter's lapel and asked, "What's the reason why they sent troops outside the pass?"
"Your Majesty, the people of the Beast Country said they wanted to hand over the imperial concubine, and the Ghost Country said they wanted to help the Beast Country. The two countries agreed to break the barrier tomorrow." The waiter replied tremblingly.
Long Yuan looked at the map outside the pass. He knew that the Dragon Kingdom had just been ceded and the morale of the military was unstable. If they went to war at this time, they would be defeated. But if the two countries broke through the barrier, I am afraid that the Dragon Kingdom would not be able to defend even half of the country. The people's morale was not stable.
Stable, with internal and external troubles, Long Yuan nodded his head but could not think of a way to retreat from the enemy.
"Are they here?" Jingxuan stood behind Long Yuan and asked in confusion.
"Yes, I'm here for you!" Long Yuan replied helplessly.
"Tiger King, I couldn't kill you last time outside Canglong City. Today you are even more arrogant and domineering!" Long Yuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Who are the pioneers of Guifang Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, the vanguard of Guifang Kingdom is our former prince: Long Ming."
"No, we should call him now: General Guifang Zhenguo." Long Yuan's thick eyebrows were compact.
"What about the pioneers of the Beast Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, the vanguard of the Beast Kingdom is the Seventh Legion of the Border Army of the Beast Kingdom. The leader is Langya, but..."
"But what?" Long Yuan asked puzzledly.
"But it is said that the Beast Kingdom has dispatched their elite for this battle: the Red Fox Hunting Team!"
Hearing this, Long Yuan was a little disappointed, because the Red Fox Hunting Team and Guifang's Nether Army were both one of the most elite troops in the world, and the Dragon Kingdom's elite Mad Dragon Army was annihilated by coefficient in the battle of Longyang Pass. Ordinary people
The soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom may not be able to resist.
After thinking for a moment, Long Yuan called various civil servants and generals to discuss strategies to retreat from the enemy. Even so, those rotten people actually suggested offering Jingxuan in order to ensure the stability of the Dragon Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, if you can sacrifice your imperial concubine, then the Dragon Kingdom can protect half of the country!" Listening to their audience, Long Yuan looked at the generals who were unwilling to fight. He knew what these people were thinking, because this battle was
In a losing battle, there is no room for maneuver.
