Zhang Zhongliang, Mary: "Father."
Zhang Si: "Your Majesty, I know what you are going to do. If you think that you can quell this war with your own strength, that is simply a delusion. Wang Erhao is so jealous now that he has disowned all his relatives."
Mary: "Father, we have already thought about it. I will go with the prince and I will persuade Wang Erhao."
Zhang Zhongliang took a step forward but stopped talking.
Mary: "Father, I am currently the best lobbyist in Nanzhao. If I can't persuade Wang Erhao, then no one can do anything. This is the only choice. Besides, once the city is defeated, both jade and stone will be destroyed!"
Zhang Si looked at the two people and couldn't make up his mind.
Zhang Zhongliang and Mary: "Please give me permission, Father."
Zhang Si thought for a long time and nodded slightly: "That's fine. But more people should be sent to protect the Crown Princess."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Father, I will express my condolences here and enter Wang Erhao's camp to wait for an opportunity to make peace. It is not appropriate to bring more people, otherwise Wang Erhao will easily misunderstand. If he wants to kill me, it will be useless no matter how many people he brings."
Zhang Si: "That's fine, you must be careful."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Yes." He turned to the door and said, "Hao Tianlei, please come in."
Outside the door, five warriors, Hao Tianlei, Wang Yihu, Wang Tianbao, Ye Piao, and Xian Yongfeng, entered in response: "I obey your uncle's order."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Let's set off immediately."
…
There are sounds of light riding.
After turning around the hill, Zhang Zhongliang and his seven men came to the outside of Wang Erhao's military camp and reined in their horses.
The mount hissed and raised its front hooves.
Two rows of guards suddenly appeared in the military camp, fully armed, sandwiching the seven people as if facing a formidable enemy.
The leader of the barbarian chiefs took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Who is coming? How dare you break into the military camp at night? Please tell me your name quickly."
Hao Tianlei took a step forward, cupped his fists and saluted: "General, our Crown Prince Zhang Zhongliang and Crown Princess Mary want to see Prince Wang Erhao. Please inform me,"
The chief took a closer look and recognized Zhang Zhongliang and Mary. He immediately turned respectful and said, "Princess, please wait a moment, Prince Consort." He rode back to the camp.
Mary rode forward, and through the gauze covering her face, the stains of tears were faintly visible.
Wang Erhao was discussing matters with several generals.
The chieftain came to report: "Information to the Second Emperor's Uncle, Princess Mary and the Prince Consort are waiting to meet you."
Wang Erhao couldn't wait to ask: "How many people are there? Where are they now?"
Chieftain: "There are only five followers, seven in total. Now we are waiting outside the military camp to be summoned by the emperor."
Wang Erhao: "Please come quickly." He couldn't help but stood up and went out to greet him.
Wang Erlei took a step forward and whispered a few words in Wang Erhao's ear.
Wang Erhao frowned: "You are my nephew, I obey you." He gave the order, "Every battalion obeys the order and forms a formation to meet the enemy!"
Zhang Zhongliang and his party were still wandering outside the military camp.
Flags were waved in the military camp and dust was flying. The massive army rushed straight to the outside of the camp and surrounded Zhang Zhongliang's seven men.
Zhang Zhongliang remained motionless and watched the changes.
Wang Erhao flashed out of the formation: "Zhang Zhongliang, you are finally here. I knew you would come."
When Mary saw Wang Erhao, she felt sad: "Uncle Huang..." She got off her horse and ran straight to Wang Erhao. It was too late for Zhang Zhongliang to stop her.
When Wang Erhao saw Mary running towards him, he quickly got off his horse. When his uncle and nephew met each other, Wang Erhao burst into tears. He held Mary's shoulders with both hands and burst into tears: "Niece..."
Mary was filled with tears and almost fainted: "Uncle, take me into the tent quickly. I want to pay homage to my eldest nephew."
Wang Erhao woke up from his sorrow with one word. He threw Mary away, mounted his horse again, and ran straight towards Zhang Zhongliang.
Their eyes met, Wang Erhao's eyes were filled with fire, while Zhang Zhongliang's eyes were as calm as ever.
Wang Erhao: "Zhang Zhongliang, hand him over to me."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Uncle Emperor..."
Wang Erhao: "I am not your imperial uncle. You are not my nephew either. From now on, our country will not have your consort."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Uncle, you are the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Please calm down and listen to me..."
Mary was almost fainting from crying. Wang Erhao signaled the soldiers to carry Mary into the tent, and turned to Zhang Zhongliang, "We are no longer at odds with each other. This time, in addition to raising troops for revenge, I will also escort the princess back to the country according to my elder brother's order."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Do you think the Crown Princess will go back with you?"
Wang Erhao unsheathed his long sword and pointed it directly at Zhang Zhongliang: "Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Zhang Zhongliang pulled out his sword and threw it to Wang Erhao: "Uncle, as long as it can relieve the hatred in your heart, you can do it at any time." After saying that, he got off his horse and walked straight towards the tent in the camp.
Several soldiers wanted to stop him, but were intimidated by Zhang Zhongliang's majesty and wanted to advance but retreated.
Hao Tianlei and five others followed Zhang Zhongliang and entered the camp.
Wang Erhao took the sword, looked at Zhang Zhongliang, and then threw the sword to the ground angrily.
Outside the big tent, two rows of soldiers set up a forest of guns, like wolves and tigers.
Zhang Zhongliang walked into the forest of guns with his head held high and entered the tent. He caressed the coffin, Hao Tianlei burned incense for him, and Zhang Zhongliang prepared to offer it.
Wang Erhao rushed in, grabbed the incense, and threw it to the ground: "You are not allowed to worship. Zhang Zhongliang, there is no need for you to show off here. In fact, don't mention how happy you are."
Zhang Zhongliang was calm and deep: "Wang Erhao, no one, no one will kill people and set fire to plunder the land and cities."
Wang Erhao: "Huh? I'm only here for revenge. I'm not interested in any land or city. Zhang Zhongliang, as long as you can hand over Qiu Yunlong, I will call a truce immediately."
Zhang Zhongliang was neither arrogant nor humble: "Wang Erhao, you can kill me, but you can't kill him."
At this time, Mary woke up from a coma: "Brother...Prince..."
Wang Erhao: "It seems, Zhang Zhongliang, you would rather subdue the country than surrender. Well, you can go, I have issued a death order and will destroy the city tomorrow!"
Zhang Zhongliang said angrily: "You——" he angrily left the tent.
There were still swords and guns outside the tent. Zhang Zhongliang walked straight to the camp gate, and the soldiers on both sides moved back to avoid it.
After walking out of the camp gate, Zhang Zhongliang flew on his horse.
Mary stumbled out of the tent with her hair disheveled: "Prince..."
Wang Erlei followed behind: "Princess, princess, sister..."
Zhang Zhongliang stopped and waited. When Mary walked out of the camp gate, he rode up to meet her, and with both hands, he hugged Mary onto the horse. The seven men rode towards Nanzhao City.
Wang Erlei rode out of the camp and burst into tears: "Sister..."
Mary looked back, exhausted: "Brother, brother... take care..."
Zhang Zhongliang clamped his legs and his horse galloped towards Nanzhao City like an arrow.
Wang Erhao was angry on the spot, his eyes widened. After a moment, he became so angry that he howled loudly to the sky and fell off his horse.
…
Shan Shan, the daughter of the Imperial Master Qiu Yunlong, rushed over in a hurry. When he saw the maid at the door, he asked eagerly: "Where is the prince?"
The maid trembled: "Saint. I, I don't know."
Shan Dan: "Say it. Speak it quickly, I'm so anxious."
Maid: "The prince and the princess have gone out, maybe to Nanzhao."
Shan Dan: "Who's together?"
Maid: "Just with five guards."
Shan Dan burst into tears, turned around and ran towards the altar.
The lights on the altar were brightly lit, like daylight.
Qiu Yunlong waved his sword and the whole audience ran.
Under his command, Zhang Si and everyone fell down on the ground and knelt down to worship the gods.
A group of Brahmins on the stage were still performing dances to worship gods.
Qiu Yunlong pointed his sword at the sky. Suddenly he looked up to the sky and roared, opened his mouth wide, slowly put the sword into his throat, and then slowly pulled it out.
Shan Dan ran to the stage and looked around. She was looking for Zhang Si's second brother Zhang Biao.
When she saw Zhang Biao, she hurriedly ran off the stage, squeezed through the crowd, and reached Zhang Biao. She pulled him over and whispered for a while.
Zhang Biao smiled slyly: "Saint girl, there are times when you beg me."
Shan Dan Zhengse: "I'm not begging you. Will you go? If you don't go, I'll find someone else."
Zhang Biao: "I'm going, I'm going. Isn't it okay if I go? How dare I disobey the saint's orders? Bundala will go through fire and water——"
Shan Dan: "Gather the people and I'll wait for you outside the palace gate."
…
Wang Erhao was lying on the bed, surrounded by a group of generals. The military doctor was giving medicine to Wang Erhao.
Wang Erhao slowly opened his eyes: "Princess - where is the princess?"
Marshal Kach signaled the military doctor to step back: "This is to the Second Emperor's Uncle. The city will be breached tomorrow, and the Emperor's Uncle and the Princess can meet again."
Wang Erhao closed his eyes again: "La, life...death..."
Kahe: "Uncle, the sky is dark tonight, and there may be heavy rain soon. We will attack the city tomorrow, and God will help us. I will be the first to take the lead, and I hope your uncle can rest assured."
Wang Erhao: "Let the soldiers have a good rest. There is no need to wait until tomorrow. As soon as it rains, we will attack the city."
All the soldiers said: "Yes".
Queen Bei Ke Boja Bodhi's bedroom, Queen Bei Ke is sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.
The palace maid came to report: "Queen, the saint has come to the palace to say hello. I'll see you at the door now."
Bei Ke: "Ah, hurry, please." He took the lead to greet them.
Shan Dan entered the hall and knelt down to worship: "My aunt is well and well."
Bei Ke was already in a hurry: "Please get up quickly."
Outside the door, in the night sky, a bright moon was gradually obscured by large dark clouds.
Dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder thundered.
On the road outside the dormitory, there was the sound of horse hooves.
Shan Dan was fully armed, leading the way, riding a horse with lightning speed. Followed by more than thirty warriors.
The rain poured down.
Queen Beiqi's bedroom. Bei Ke said to Shan Dan: "It's raining heavily tonight. I heard Zhang Biao's words, the day it rains is when the city will be destroyed. You should go and rest first, there may be a fierce battle soon."
Shan Dan: "Queen. General Zhang Biao and I will go to the city to have a look."
Beiqi: "You have to be careful."
There was a loud thunder, and lightning streaked across the night sky with a white light. The rainstorm became heavier and heavier.
The earth was gray.
Turning around the hill, I was completely wet in a single line.
In front of us is Wang Erhao Military Camp, just rein in your horse.
Everyone gathered around.
Shan Shan was confused: "Why is there no movement?"
Zhang Biao: "It seems that the prince is in danger."
Shan Dan was anxious: "What should I do?"
Zhang Biao rode his horse up the hill: "Look at this posture. The entire Nanzhao City has been completely surrounded. We can't rush in."
Shan Dan: "Please think of a way quickly."
Zhang Biao thought for a while: "Now only surprise troops can win. Everyone, listen to my orders. We will take advantage of the darkness and rush directly to the camp. Because it is a surprise attack in the dark, the enemy cannot distinguish between you and me, and does not know whether we are real or not, so there will be chaos. We just took this opportunity to rush into Wang Erhao's tent. As long as Wang Erhao can be captured alive as a hostage, this war can be ended easily."
Shan Dan: "But it's raining heavily tonight, so the enemy will definitely not be able to sleep soundly——"
Zhang Biao interrupted: "Are you afraid of death?" He loudly ordered: "The saint stays. All the soldiers are not afraid of death, obey the order, and follow me to attack the enemy camp."
Everyone: "Yes."
Zhang Biao: "Kill". Leading everyone into the night.
Shan Shan put his hand on the horse's belly and said: "Drive——" and followed the others down the mountain without hesitation.
Wang Erhao is burning incense for his son.
Wang Erhao: "Son, if we break the city today, I will take back the palace master and take off Qiu Yunlong's head as a memorial to you. In today's battle, we will fight to the death. I pray that the prince's spirit in heaven will protect us in our triumphant victory."
A sergeant came to report in a panic: "Uncle Emperor, someone broke into the camp."
Wang Erhao: "How many people?"
Sergeant: "About thirty people. These people intend to break into the emperor's tent and have been surrounded by Marshal Kach's army."
Wang Erhao: "Well done. Give me my order and be sure to capture him alive."
…
The sky is about to break, hazy.
During the heavy rain, Zhang Biao, Shan Dan and more than 30 warriors were surrounded by a large group of people. They fought left and right, but gradually became exhausted. They fell off their horses one after another and were captured and tied up.
The war drums shook the sky. The war in Nanzhao City broke out again.
Zhang Biao led his soldiers and civilians to fight in the rain.
Wang Erhao's several attacks on the city were defeated.
In the rain, the Nanzhao flag still stood.
The prince walked up to the city.
Looking from a distance, all the Tengjia troops were ready for battle.
Wang Erhao immediately lined up in front of the formation, confident. When he saw the prince going to the city, he chuckled: "Let's see how long you can hold on?"
The prince said calmly: "I don't know."
There were roars of ridicule from Wang Erhao's formation.
Wang Erhao ordered: "Pass this order, all generals and their troops will change from taking turns to attack the city to a full-scale attack. If anyone climbs the city and cuts off the flag of Nanzhao, or takes down Qiu Yunlong's head, regardless of the generals, he will be made a marquis immediately."
The officers and soldiers were greatly encouraged, and everyone fought bravely to take the lead.
Wang Erhao: "Prince, listen. If you continue to resist stubbornly and break the city, then you hurt one of me and I will kill one of you. If I kill one, I will kill ten of you. If you offer Qiu Yunlong's head and return it to the princess, I will That’s a truce.”
Prince: "Wang Erhao, you have gone too far to deceive others. You have offended me for no reason. Your son's death was avenged by someone, but who should pay for the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls of our Nanzhao Kingdom and our Zhang clan?"
Wang Erhao: "I have made a huge concession to spare your father the humiliation of wearing mourning and protecting the spirit. As for the murderer's head and the return of the princess, there is no negotiation. I will show you something. You can make a decision after half an hour. .”
Wang Erhao waved his hand and the sergeants in front of the formation moved out of the way. The soldiers pushed Shan Dan, Zhang Biao and others tied up to the front of the formation.
The prince was shocked. He drew the sword and was about to unsheath it, then slowly took it back.
Shan Shan looked stubborn and shouted loudly to the city: "Prince, leave us alone!"
Kach stepped forward and gave Shan Shan a slap in the face. Shan Shan staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
Kahe said: "Uncle, this witch is Qiu Yunlong's daughter, kill her first."
Wang Erhao: "Okay, it's time to sacrifice the flag in front of the formation."
Shan Shan was pulled up from the ground and pushed to Shuai's flag.
…
Zhang Si'an sat on the upper seat, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Qiu Yunlong ran in with stern support and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good!"
Zhang Si stood up and stood down to help Qiu Yunlong: "Master, don't panic."
Qiu Yunlong: "Your Majesty, something bad happened. The saint, the old general, and several Dara are missing. They led more than thirty warriors to attack Wang Erhao."
Zhang Si was shocked: "When will you leave the palace?"
Yan Zheng stammered: "Your Majesty, they probably left in the middle of the night. They can't catch up now."
Qiu Yunlong scolded: "What do you do for food? You can't even look down on anyone." After a while, he screamed: "Ah! My daughter, my life -"
…
