He promised her that he would take her away. She couldn't leave with him in time because of some delays, but his promise would not change until she got better.
Xuan Wei smiled, but she couldn't tell what the laugh was like, "Do you even think that Weiguo is destined to lose?"
Ximen Qingkong didn't know how to answer. The outcome of this war may be important to her, but to him, it was not important at all. He was even a little selfish in his heart. He hoped that this would end soon and that this war would end soon. , even if Weiguo loses.
But he couldn't say that, he knew what Xuan Wei cared about, and knew that Xuan Wei was using up her last strength, hoping to save her.
He also thought about helping Xuan Wei, but in the face of this army of thousands of experts mixed with clouds, rushing like a tsunami, he could only make a bigger splash when he smashed in. There was nothing he could do, and he couldn't help. Xuan Wei can't please Xuan Wei. He can only do what he can and try his best to protect her on his own!
Not speaking was acquiescing, Xuan Wei smiled miserably, she didn't know that Weiguo was almost finished!
Although Wei State still has a lot of territory that has not yet been captured by the Jin State, that is because of its vast territory, and it is impossible for the Jin State to occupy all of it in a short period of time.
However, many key pass areas had been captured by the Jin army, and the unoccupied areas were also cut and isolated. The Jin army tightly strangled the throats of various places, making it difficult for the troops in the unoccupied areas to gather on a large scale.
In fact, the imperial court had lost its ability to organize the entire Wei Kingdom.
The war was in chaos, and the imperial court had lost its meaning to the people of the Wei Kingdom. Whoever's soldiers and horses arrived, and whoever could threaten their lives, they would tremble and listen to whoever's command, and they would not care about the imperial court.
A group of courtiers and officials accompanying the army, who cannot come up with an effective solution, may not be as useful as a group of soldiers at this time.
And Xuan Wei, a female prime minister who once had great power in the Wei Kingdom, is now humbler than ever before.
Every day, she would send letters to the ministers who had not yet occupied the territory, recall the past with them, talk about old friendships, keep in touch with each other, and even keep giving officials and titles, making empty promises that she would not treat them badly after victory in the future. To put it bluntly, I just hope that the ministers in those territories will hold on and beg them not to surrender!
And those ministers also gave some false and condescending replies.
Xuan Wei also knew very well that those ministers who had not surrendered so far were not loyal to the country. Maybe a small number were, but they were really a minority.
When it comes to life and death, when the whole family and even a bunch of people below are about to lose their lives, they are all people in the field of power and interests, so how can there be any loyalty at all? The reason for not surrendering for the time being is still The reason for waiting and watching was because Qi State sent troops to help, and because of Huyan Wuhen's combat ability, those people did not dare to make a choice easily. They were afraid that if they chose the wrong side and made a mistake, they would regret it forever, so they did not dare to make a choice rashly.
Of course, there are also reasons for self-importance. I want to get a bigger promise from the Jin State, and if I persist, I hope that the Jin State can give greater benefits.
There is also another reason. After Yin Chu's murder of Chen Changgong was exposed, it had an impact on some people's hearts in the Wei Kingdom. The death of Chen Changgong delayed the overall fall of the Wei Kingdom. This was why Shao Pingbo was so angry that he smashed things. reason.
The Jin State spared no expense to make amends, and generously rewarded Chen Changgong's wife and son. Chen Changgong's still young son had already been granted the rank of general, and was given high officials and generous salaries, as a token of appreciation to those who were wavering in the defense of the country.
Xuan Wei knew all kinds of things in her heart, but she still had to lower her body to do it.
A court that has lost its ability to organize the Wei State will not be of much use to the Qi State. If you cannot organize a larger resistance force, what use do you people have to the Qi State? We, the Qi State, still need to expend our strength to fight against the enemy.
Help and protect you?
Huyan Wuhen dared to kill the family members of hundreds of Weiguo officials, and even openly shot and killed Weiguo's high-ranking officials, while Haoyuntu turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. This was the biggest warning and warning to Weiguo. So what if Qi State kills you?
What can we do to defend our country? Once it loses its value, you will also have no value in existence.
And those unoccupied areas are Xuan Wei's last hope, and also the last value Qi State places on Xuan Wei and his group. Once Huyan Wuhen's army opens up the situation, I hope Xuan Wei and others can attract those local forces.
of assistance.
Now any general of the Qi army came and dared to scold Jin Lingzan, the chief minister of the Wei Kingdom, and Jin Lingzan had to smile to explain.
A general of the Qi army was furious. He thought that the Wei people were not doing well in the battle and had killed many of his brothers. He ran away with wounds all over his body. He really scolded the leaders of the three major factions of the Wei in front of a group of people.
What is the purpose of the sect? Calling the leaders of the three major sects useless!
The three major factions are naturally angry. What will they do if they arrest him? Do they dare to kill him?
Now the Qi army is helping the Wei Kingdom to fight, helping the three major factions of the Wei Kingdom to regain their lost territory, and sacrificing their lives to protect the interests of the three major factions. Don't let the three major factions become the lost dogs. You try to kill the Qi State general, if you really want to kill him.
Okay, the three major factions will not be able to pass this test unless they sacrifice the lives of some people!
The soldiers fought bloody battles on the battlefield, fighting desperately. Military morale is very important. If morale is strong, they dare to fight to the death. If morale fails, it will be like a landslide. A general will die in the hands of these people. Hu Yanwu hates not to give an explanation to the soldiers below.
No, you have to go to them and ask for an explanation!
Considering the consequences, in the end, the three major factions had no choice but to swallow their anger and let the person go without daring to do anything.
Who is ranked in Piaomiao Pavilion, what is superior, the situation is inferior to others, there is no dignity at all at this time!
Under such circumstances, how could Xuan Wei put down her dignity and dignity as a queen and ask for help?
We have already arrived, what else can we do? Xuan Wei stopped talking to Ximen Qingkong and faced Tang Yi and said: "You shouldn't come back either. Once you come, you can't leave. At this time, the three major sects will not let you go."
The Shangqing Sect left."
Tang Yi was startled. He didn't understand at first, but then he understood that he really shouldn't come back.
The Shangqing Sect is Xuanwei's closest confidant. If even Xuanwei's confidant, the mage, runs away, it will have a great impact on the morale and morale of the remaining soldiers. At this critical moment, how can the three major sects
Can you let them go?
It was okay to leave before, but there was no other way. Now that they are back, it is impossible for the three major factions to let them go.
"You go down first." Xuan Wei said.
Tang Yi stared at Xuan Wei for a while, and found that this woman was much haggard, with gray hair even on her head. She also knew that she had something to say privately when she reunited with Ximen Qingkong after a long separation, so it was not appropriate for her to be by the side, so she bowed her hands and left.
After leaving the tent, Tang Yizheng was in a heavy mood, thinking about where the Shangqing Sect should go, when he suddenly heard shouts from a nearby tent, "Retribution! Retribution..."
The voice was familiar, like Xuan Chengtian's. She walked over. The guard outside the tent saw that it was her and knew that she was Xuan Wei's person, so he did not stop her.
When he opened the tent and took a look, he found that it was indeed Xuan Chengtian, chained up by an iron chain. Xuan Wei's husband, Hao Cheng, was beside him, looking like he was in a hurry, as if he wanted to cover Xuan Chengtian's mouth.
When Hao Cheng saw Xuan Wei coming in, he suddenly looked embarrassed.
Seeing that Ximen Qingkong had returned, Hao Cheng was a little scared and didn't dare to stay in his tent, and he didn't know where to go. Later he felt that it might be safer here, so he got in and had a casual chat with Xuan Chengtian, saying that he had leaked
He opened his mouth and revealed the current situation of Weiguo.
When he learned that the Wei Kingdom was about to be destroyed, Xuan Chengtian did not blame himself, but thought it was Xuan Wei's fault. He laughed loudly and shouted that it was Xuan Wei's retribution!
His shouting alarmed many people nearby. Suddenly the curtain was lifted, and Chang Linxian, the head of Lingxu Mansion, came in with a dark face.
"Why are you yelling?" Chang Linxian scolded.
Xuan Chengtian, who was tied by an iron chain, laughed loudly, "Master Chang, look at the good things you have done. So what if you helped that bitch to the position? You have committed your own sins and you will get retribution..."
Whoa! Chang Linxian suddenly drew his sword and struck out with a flash of cold light.
"Uh..." Xuan Chengtian couldn't scream immediately. He looked at him with wide eyes and trembling lips, "You..."
Chang Linxian's sword had pierced Xuan Chengtian's heart, and blood was gurgling from his chest.
Hao Cheng on the side was shocked!
Tang Yi was also shocked, "Master Chang, what are you doing?"
"How dare you mess up the morale of our army!" This was Chang Linxian's reply. He drew his sword and returned it to its sheath.
I was humiliated by Ximen Qingkong before, and I was already in a bad mood. But when I heard Xuan Chengtian yelling randomly again, I killed him in a rage!
Xuan Chengtian was of no use to the three major sects. If Xuan Wei hadn't wanted to protect his brother-sister relationship, the three major sects would have dealt with him long ago.
Xuan Chengtian, who was swallowing hard, fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
"You!" Chang Linxian turned around and pointed at Hao Cheng, who was trembling on the side. "Lock him up and keep him under strict guard. No one is allowed to take him away without me. If someone takes him away by force, kill him immediately!"
Qi Jun had asked for Hao Cheng before. No matter what the excuse was, they just wanted to take Hao Cheng away from here.
Everything else is easy to say. Even if the three major factions are humiliated by the Qi army, they can grit their teeth and endure it. But regarding the matter of taking away Haocheng, neither the three major factions of the Wei Kingdom nor the courtiers of the Wei Kingdom.
promise!
The situation has reached this point. The son of Emperor Qi Haoyuntu has become the only bargaining chip they can hold against Qi. At least Hu Yanwuhen, as a minister, has to consider the safety of the prince.
No matter how bad it is, if Hao Cheng is captured, it will at least prevent the Qi army from doing too much.
Hao Cheng was so nervous that he wanted to hide, "What are you doing? What do you want to do? Whoever dares to act rashly, I, the Qi army, will not let him go!"
One disciple stepped forward and grabbed Hao Cheng like a chicken, while the other disciple untied the chains from Xuan Chengtian's body. The two joined forces and tied up Hao Cheng in an instant.
After witnessing this scene, Tang Yi felt very heavy. She had been away for a while and did not know many things. But everything in front of her showed that the problem was more serious than she imagined. How critical the situation in Weiguo must be. Chang Linxian
Even Xuan Chengtian dared to kill without hesitation!
At this moment, a soldier opened the curtain and entered. He cupped his hands to Tang Yi and said, "Master Tang, outside..." He looked at Empress Xuanchengtian who was lying in a pool of blood and was shocked.
Chang Linxian glanced coldly and said angrily: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Bing stammered: "A person came outside, claiming to be Chuan Ying, asking to see Master Tang."
