In the bustling Lieyang City neighborhood in the past, there are now very few people around, just like what Xia Yihe Shilai saw that day in Hengze City.
Those who had the ability and conditions, and heard that the war was going badly, had taken the first step to drag their families and families north to escape.
Most of the civilians who had no conditions stayed behind closed doors, hoping that the Qi army would not disturb the civilians. The rumors were true. The Holy Court also sealed the mountain gate, expressing its absolute neutrality and not participating in the war.
Having lost two cities in a row, even if Lieyang City is the capital of the state and has the highest city wall and the strongest monks in the city, the residents of Lieyang City have little hope of successfully defending the city.
At this time, the small courtyard of Xia Yi's family was as calm as ever. Xia Yi's presence was like a needle that fixed the sea, making the servants and two disciples in the courtyard not too worried about encountering war disasters.
People like Wu Jing, who has a family, also requested that his wife be brought to Xiayi Courtyard.
However, Xia Yi did not agree.
The Qi army will not disturb the civilians. This is an agreement between Shangguan Yu and him. At this time, his small courtyard may not be as safe as ordinary residential buildings!
Clang! Clang!
Chen Guang polished the tip of his gun one by one, breaking through the three-star Tianji as a transcendent. With the knowledge of Duke Xiang Ning, he already had the capital to fight with the five-star Yuheng. Although he would definitely lose, he still couldn't.
That’s a considerable amount of combat power!
Recalling Xia Yi's instructions, he was adjusting his condition to its peak.
Zhou Xiaoxian nervously checked his sword again and again and asked: "Teacher, are we really not going to join the war? Also, my father..."
"I have arrangements with Zhou Feng." Xia Yi comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the Qi army will not attack a place like Zhoujia Village. We will not join the war this time and just protect ourselves."
"Senior, are you here?" At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the hospital.
Xia Yi lowered his eyes for a moment, then put on a calm expression and walked towards the courtyard door. After opening the door, Song Qu, the vindicated prince, was standing at the entrance of the courtyard. He looked like he was walking in a hurry, "Senior, you are still here. The Qi army is laying siege to the city."
, you really don’t plan to take action?”
"It's hard for me to take action. Shangguan Yu is probably staring at me in the military camp." Xia Yi shook his head and said: "Master Xiangyuan, it's you, how can you have time to come to me at this time? Don't you plan to participate in the defense of the city?
?”
Song Qu immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am the vindicated prince of Dazheng. I can't escape even if I want to. The dog is safe in the holy courtyard, so I have no worries. The guards at home should have boarded the mountain under the leadership of my guards.
After reaching the city wall, I just thought there was something else I should do, so I came to see you first.
To be honest, if you don't take action, I don't think there is much hope of defending Lieyang City. Wuzhou's defense for these days has revealed its intention to coexist with Lieyang City.
I think a person like him should not die unjustly, and I cannot advise him on his character, so I would like to ask senior to go to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion with me."
Xia Yi pondered slightly: "That makes sense. Wu Zhoushou came to see me before and wanted to entrust his adopted daughter to me. I agreed. However, Wu Zhoushou has an upright character and should be saved if he can.
I will go with you!"
He turned back: "Chen Guang, Xiaoxian, take care of your home and don't move around."
Chen Guang solemnly responded.
Zhou Xiaoxian hummed softly.
Song Qu nodded to them gently and rushed to the governor's mansion with Xia Yi.
…
At the same time, the state was controlled and the government was guarded.
Wu Xian was dressed in official uniform, facing a round mirror. It had been more than half a month since he arrived in Zhizhou. His body had recovered a bit, and his face was still pale, but at this time, it was a little strangely rosy.
After tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the room with generous and firm steps.
He has already dismissed most of the guards and maids. The remaining guards, all of whom are loyal or have nowhere else to go, will climb up the city wall with him later to participate in the defense of the city.
But after leaving the room, he hummed slightly and looked around unexpectedly.
Where are people?
"Bai Qing! Jiang Guang!"
After shouting twice, no one responded. Wu Xian's face became more confused. He walked out quickly, shouting as he walked: "Madam! Have you arranged for Bai Qingjiang Guang to see Hehe off? Madam?!"
Also no response.
Looking around strangely, the huge governor's mansion was completely silent at the moment. Wu Xian had an ominous premonition in his heart. Finally, he saw a figure through the window paper of a certain room.
The man is sitting on a chair.
Turn your back to him.
He is not a governor of another state.
Wu Xian was extremely familiar with this figure, so familiar that when he saw it, the healed burn scars on his body began to hurt involuntarily!
With his eyes widened, he ran over in panic and directly knocked open the door of the room.
The figure turned sideways, with an evil smile on his face: "Are you a little surprised to see Gu in your own house? Wu Zhou Shou!"
Wu Xian felt like he was in a dream, and his inner uneasiness became more intense: "You... tyrant?! Why are you here! Where is my wife?! Where is my daughter Hehe?! Where are my guards?!"
King Zheng laughed loudly: "Who knows? Maybe... he is dead."
Wu Xian's blood surged instantly. He raised his hand and pointed at King Zheng tremblingly, "Tyrant! You..."
When he was almost unconscious from anger, the familiar whining sound cleared his mind and he looked back.
His wife's mouth was gagged with a towel and she was escorted over by two men in black robes.
On the other side, Hehe was unconscious and was picked up by the other two people.
They are fine... Although Wu Xian was anxious when he saw this scene, he also calmed down a bit. He clenched his fist and looked back at King Zheng, shouting: "Tyrant! This is the moment of life and death for the Zheng Kingdom. The fall of Lieyang City means that the entire system
The state is about to fall! I, Dazheng, have been a country for nearly 400 years, and we have never lost a city or land like this. You are the sinner of Dazheng!
At this time, you don’t want to find any way to make up for it, but you come to my house to bully my wife and daughter! Do you really want to be the king who subjugates the country?!"
"Zhizhou is lost? Will Gu become Dazheng's sinner?" King Zheng laughed and said: "Gu trusted Aiqing and appointed Aiqing as the governor of Zhengzhou, but Aiqing did not protect Zhengzhou well for Gushou. Could it be that I, Dazheng,
Shouldn't you be the sinner?"
Wu Xian hesitated: "You are right, I am indeed the sinner of Dazheng. Facing this unfavorable war, as the governor of Zhizhou, I have nothing to do and am completely powerless! I, Wu Xian, am ashamed of the heroes of Dazheng's ancestors.
To the ancestors!
But you! Tyrant! If Zheng Guo has this day, you are still the culprit! I know that my ability is insufficient, but you force me to serve as the governor of the state! And if you hadn’t sent someone to kidnap the seven daughters of the King of Qi, how could the King of Qi be allowed to do so?
You started a national war and ended up in this situation!"
"You are indeed incompetent and stupid." King Zheng laughed: "Do you think that if I don't do anything, this war will not happen? The Mingxiang who you were loyal to was assassinated.
They are just playthings in Gu’s hands! It’s not just him! You! Those hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the city! Yi Xia! Zheng Guo! They are all Gu’s playthings!”
"Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. I, Dazheng, suffered consecutive defeats, and it was I who hinted Feng Rui to do it, hahahahaha..."
Wu Xian was slightly stunned, his eyes were about to burst, and he couldn't help but rush to King Zheng: "You tyrant..."
King Zheng waved his hand slightly, and two men in black robes came over in an instant, restrained Wu Xian, and put a towel in his mouth. Faced with Wu Xian's eyes that seemed to choose others to devour, King Zheng stood up with a smile.
"It's still early, let's do some sideshows first to celebrate me, Da Zheng, standing on the top of the Holy Soul Continent." He cast his eyes on Wu Xian's wife and shook his head slightly.
"This kind of beauty really doesn't attract Gu's interest, and Gu is not the king of Wei, so he doesn't like other people's wives." He walked slowly to Hehe's side and glanced at the slightly torn robe of one of Hehe's men.
, and looked at Wu Xian.
"You idiot, you don't even know how to investigate the origins of your adopted daughter? Such a young three-star Tianji monk must have kings and ancestors alive. But I don't care about this. This girl is handsome. Although she is still young, she is so lonely.
Reluctantly favored..."
Holding Hehe's chin with one hand and making Hehe's little face face him, King Zheng suddenly frowned slightly as he spoke, and his face was unusually stiff for a moment.
Looking back at Wu Xian who understood what he meant and was almost crazy, King Zheng remained silent for a moment, his voice annoyed: "You... are really several times stupider than I imagined!!"
