Mi Man smiled and said, "It's not a fluke if the Supreme Elder noticed it in time. It's all the Supreme Elders' hard work." It was quite a compliment.
The old man sighed: "Whether it's intentional or lucky, as long as it's beneficial to the sect, that's what we old guys should do. I just don't understand, how did we get to this point? I hope these two hostages are useful.
!”
He didn't mean to accept the compliment, and the sigh in his tone made the whole generation in power of all factions feel embarrassed.
Pang Teng looked away from the two people who looked like mother and son, and asked the people around him, "Is it a bit too much to threaten a newborn baby during the confrontation between the two armies? If the soldiers below see it, they may think too much."
"Isn't it for them that we take this risk? It's better than them losing their lives, right?" Zuo Chengfeng, the head of Luoxia Villa, sneered, "If you weren't incompetent, why would we do this?"
Pang Teng looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed. He knew the situation best. The enemy troops were heavily surrounded and guarding the key roads, cutting off all the supply routes of the Zhao army. If it went on for a long time, the Zhao army would be trapped to death. It would be difficult to break out of the encirclement. Even if it succeeded, it would be inevitable.
The losses were heavy, and I feared that I would not be able to fight again in the future.
He regretted that the war was related to the destiny of the country, and he regretted that he should not have used troops rashly!
Jiang Wanlou, head of the Guiyuan Sect, said, "The Supreme Elders took a detour to be on the safe side. Logically speaking, the other party's reaction would not be so slow. The Shang Chaozong should have received news from Nanzhou Fucheng at this time."
.”
I'm waiting here for Shang Chaozong to contact me.
However, after waiting for almost half a day, I couldn't stand it anymore. There was no response from the Yan army. I don't know if they ignored it or if there was some accident and they didn't receive the news. However, the war was about to start at any time.
In the end, Zhao Jun sent a messenger to meet with Shang Chaozong and put forward a request for talks between the two sides.
Shang Chaozong didn't want to talk about it for fear of affecting the morale of the army. Niu Youdao suggested talking about it, saying that he wanted to find out the whereabouts of Shang Shuqing and his children.
Only then did Shang Chaozong agree to the meeting, and the messenger immediately rushed back.
As soon as the designated time came, there was a commotion among the troops at the front of both sides, with a group of men and horses from each side advancing forward.
The coaches of both sides led the armies to advance slowly, and finally met together. The distance between the two sides was clear, and their troops were highly vigilant. The atmosphere gave people the feeling that a war was about to break out at any time.
Yucang also appeared, in the Yan army's camp.
Xiaoyue Pavilion has a liaison here who is responsible for communication between the two armies. After the liaison learned about the sudden change, he urgently sent the news back. Yu Cang was afraid that something would change, so he immediately took a large bird to drive away from the Zhao rebels.
Come over and take a look.
Not long after he arrived, Zhao Jun requested a meeting, so he followed him.
Shang Chaozong on horseback waved his hand and pointed at Pang Teng opposite, "Pang Teng, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. I originally respected you a little, but I didn't expect you to do such a despicable and shameless thing. It shows that Zhao Guo's strength has been exhausted!"
"
Pang Teng shouted back, "Yellow boy, soldiers are always deceitful on the battlefield. Victory or defeat depends on the hero. How can you say that you are despicable and shameless?"
Shang Chaozong: "Old thief, let him go immediately, otherwise I will destroy your nine Pang clans!"
"Stop talking nonsense to him!" Jiang Wanlou, the head of the Guiyuan Sect, sneered and waved his hand. The crowd parted a path, and several monks escorted Shang Shuqing out.
The gray-headed and embarrassed Shang Shuqing still held the infant baby in her arms and refused to let go.
As soon as she came out of the queue, a hand was placed on Shang Shuqing's shoulder, stopping her. The cold edge of a sword was placed on the back of Shang Shuqing's neck, allowing the Yan Jun opposite to see clearly. He could see her clearly at any time.
It looks like he can behead Shang Shuqing.
It's definitely Shang Shuqing. Although it's a little dirty and unbecoming of a princess, people familiar with it can still tell it at a glance.
There was silence on the Yan Army side, the heads of the three major factions looked at each other, and Niu Youdao on horseback also frowned.
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a special saddle, clenched his fists subconsciously.
Some of the old people who had followed him since the days of King Ning showed sadness and anger on their faces.
Shang Chaozong's chest rose and fell, his cheeks tightened, and he was obviously a little excited.
Shang Shuqing looked across in confusion and saw a row of familiar people. In this situation, how could she not know that she had become a hostage in the hands of Zhao Jun.
She didn't want to be a burden to Yan Jun, and wanted to die, but she lowered her head and looked at the baby in her arms. The little baby was full and sleeping soundly. It had a small nose, small eyes, and a tender and cute mouth.
If she dies alone, the little guy is still a hostage, but if she is allowed to attack the little guy, how can she be so ruthless?
With her brother and sister-in-law here, she has no right to do this.
Niu Youdao spoke up, "Princess, are you and the young prince okay? They didn't do anything to you, right?"
Naturally, Shang Shuqing also saw him. After Niu Youdao went to Tiandu Secret Realm, the two of them had never seen each other again. They had always wanted to see him, but they didn't expect it to be under such circumstances.
Every time a group of people met, Niu Youdao was never the first to talk to her. Today was the first time.
She shook her head vigorously, indicating that she was fine.
Seeing Niu Youdao talking, countless people in the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom stared at him coldly, hating Niu Youdao to death. The war after the freeze was started by this bastard. If it weren't for the good deeds of this grandson, Zhao Guoyan
To have come this far!
Jiang Wanlou stared at Niu Youdao and sneered: "My sister has seen him, but I'm afraid he hasn't seen his son yet? Let Prince Yong take a good look at what his son looks like, so that Prince Yong can rest assured!"
Son and sister? As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the Yan army camp. Is this the infant prince?
Whispers arose, and the morale of the soldiers had been affected.
Among the monks who were guarding Shang Shuqing, one of them immediately snatched the infant child from Shang Shuqing's arms.
Shang Shuqing was shocked and tried to snatch her back, but someone grabbed her hair and pulled her back. Her expression was twisted in pain. With her little fist and kick skills, she was no match for the monk!
The swaddling clothes turned over, revealing the baby's front face to Shang Chaozong and others opposite.
The monk grabbed the swaddling baby and flicked the baby's face with his finger. The sleeping little guy immediately woke up with pain, opened his mouth and cried "Wow!"
"No!" Shang Shuqing, who was holding her head high as her hair was being pulled, stretched out her hand and begged, for fear that the little one would be hurt.
However, the outstretched hand was grabbed and twisted, and pinned behind her back.
As the two armies faced each other, the cry of the baby could be heard loudly, and the little guy cried heartbreakingly.
This cry instantly hit Shang Chaozong's weakness, and his heart was almost broken. He didn't expect that his son was not in the palace for the first time, but on the battlefield, in the enemy camp!
Fighting on the battlefield, I am used to seeing life and death, used to seeing mountains of corpses, used to seeing rivers of blood, but now I clenched my fists, trembling lips, speechless.
He has always been brave in attacking cities and plundering territories, killing decisively... So what if he is commanding thousands of troops at this time? He can obviously defeat the opponent, but he is so powerless that he can't even save his own son. There is no way at all!
Meng Shanming pursed his lips and tightened his lips.
Many of the old people who came out of Prince Ning's Mansion almost broke their teeth. Someone said sadly: "Prince, forget it, let's withdraw our troops. I'm sorry they don't dare to break their promise. We can definitely keep the young prince and the princess safe!"
Withdraw troops? The heads of the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom were alert to the keyword. They glanced here after hearing the sound. Although they didn't say anything in this situation, there was obviously a certain indifference in the raised look on their eyebrows.
Withdraw troops? Yucang is also alert. If the Yan Kingdom withdraws its troops at this time, then the rebels and the Zhao army will be left fighting for their lives. This is a fatal matter for Xiaoyue Pavilion. Xiaoyue Pavilion's many years of hard work cannot solve it.
How can we not be vigilant when our good fortune is about to be destroyed in one moment?
Meng Shanming was also alert and looked back at the general who made the suggestion.
How can you say such nonsense in such a situation? Even if you really want to withdraw your troops, you can't say it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Don't talk about saving the people on the other side. I'm afraid even this side will be in danger. Meng Shanming turned around and shouted
He scolded, "Shut up!"
"Shuai Meng..." The general was still unwilling to give in and wanted to say something else.
Meng Shanming was angry, "I told you to shut up!"
Pang Teng, who was on the opposite side, said loudly: "Shang Chaozong, do you see clearly? As long as your troops from the Yan Kingdom return to the territory of the Yan Kingdom, I guarantee that your son and your sister will not be harmed in any way. When the Yan army returns to the territory of the Yan Kingdom,
, even if you return your son and sister without any harm, you will never break your promise!"
The heads of the three major sects, Yu Cang and others all stared at Shang Chaozong's reaction.
Shang Chaozong Yangtian took a long breath, his eyes slowly fell on Shang Shuqing, and suddenly said loudly: "Qing'er, I'm sorry for you!"
Shang Shuqing burst into tears instantly. She understood what her brother meant. He would not compromise!
Sure enough, I heard Shang Chaozong say loudly: "Old thief Pang Teng, since you led the army to attack our country, the war has lasted for nearly two years. How many men in our country have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to achieve today! I
The life of my sister and my son is life, isn’t the life of Da Yanerlang not life? There is no reason why Da Yanerlang can die, but my sister and son cannot die! You listen to me, I will never do it for
For my own selfish reasons, I, the Great Yanerlang, died in vain!"
"Your Majesty!"
"My lord, think twice!"
A group of generals were moved and tried to persuade each other. Shang Chaozong tensed his face and remained unmoved.
The heads of the three major sects looked slightly brighter, and Yu Cang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Shanming's thin figure sat upright on the horse's back, silent.
Niu Youdao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze moved slowly, and he didn't say much.
Jiang Wanlou on the opposite side turned slightly and muttered a few words to his disciple Tao Yanfeng, but he didn't know what he said.
Tao Yanfeng jumped off his horse, hurried to Shang Shuqing's side, and shouted loudly: "Shang Chaozong, try to move rashly!"
After saying that, he reached out to Shang Shuqing's chest, grabbed Shang Shuqing's collar and suddenly pulled hard.
With a bang, in front of everyone, Shang Shuqing's chest revealed a touch of snow-white, and a snow-white ravine could be seen. If the hand holding the clothes pulled again, the spring light on Shang Shuqing's chest would be completely exposed.
Shang Shuqing was restrained and could not move, tears were already flowing.
Shang Chaozong's eyes were about to burst, his face was red with passion, and he roared: "Thief, let go!"
The entire Yan army was furious, as if they were going to explode.
Tao Yanfeng shouted in response, "Shang Chaozong, you'd better withdraw your troops honestly, otherwise I don't mind stripping your sister naked for everyone to enjoy! If you dare to move, I will!"
