The sound shook the sky and the ground shook.
Zhang Xiaozhu and others were all trembling in their hearts.
"What is the sound?!" Wan Qiuqing frowned deeply and looked to the south where the sound came from, but his sight was blocked by the tall city wall and could not see anything, so he subconsciously asked.
"It may be the sound of the rebels dispatching siege vehicles and hitting the city gate." Zhao Quan frowned and replied, but his tone was obviously uncertain, because apart from this huge sound, there were no horns, drums or shouts of death. It didn't sound like the rebels were attacking the city.
Wan Qiuqing trembled when he heard this and asked in shock: "Have the rebels already arrived at the city?!"
When the rebels first attacked the city, they were in the secret room of the deep well. Due to the restrictions, they did not hear any sound or movement.
"Yes." Zhao Quan responded, "I arrived at the city at ten o'clock and launched an attack for half an hour. I was beaten to a pulp by the defenders. Then I retreated and there was no more movement."
Wan Qiuqing's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "No, it's not the sound of the charging car hitting the city gate. The charging car can't make such a big noise. The rebels are approaching the city. Could it be Wei Guogong? Hurry, go and inform the Lord!"
"Be careful!" Qi Changfeng suddenly said, "The Big Tooth people also have an extremely secret stronghold in Yancheng, and there is also a star power guarding it. Be careful when he suddenly attacks."
"What?! There is still a star power hidden?!" Wan Qiuqing exclaimed.
"Yes!" Qi Changfeng nodded with certainty, but frowned and said, "It's just that the stronghold is extremely secretive, and there are only a few communications with this stronghold, so I don't know where the stronghold is hidden."
"Zhao Quan, did you hear that?" Wan Qiuqing asked.
"I heard it." Zhao Quan responded and couldn't help but look at Qi Changfeng curiously. Because Qi Changfeng covered his face with a scarf, he didn't recognize Qi Changfeng. He only felt that Qi Changfeng's figure seemed a bit familiar, but when he thought about it more, he didn't recognize Qi Changfeng. Can't remember where I saw it.
"You heard this, why don't you hurry up and inform the adults?!" Wan Qiuqing scolded.
"Yes!" Zhao Quan took the order and ran away.
Wan Qiuqing also ordered people to go into the secret room of the deep well to rescue people. He explained all the considerations in detail one by one. Then he went into the Xue family's treasure house, found some rare medicinal pills that had not been removed, and drank them to temporarily suppress and relieve the severe internal injuries, and then He took Qi Changfeng and Zhang Xiaopou and flew to the top of the Bell Tower.
As an important military intelligence reporting tool in Yancheng, the Tianzhong Tower was put under martial law as soon as the war broke out. The entire Changhong Square was also sealed off, and no one was allowed to get even half a step closer.
As soon as the figures of Wan Qiuqing and the others appeared in the sky, they immediately attracted the attention of the guards and issued a stern warning. However, after Wan Qiuqing revealed his identity, the guards immediately let them go respectfully.
After Wan Qiuqing's battle with the Xue family, he had already become a celebrity in the military.
The onlookers on many tall buildings around him immediately cast envious glances at Wan Qiuqing and the other three people on the Tianzhong Tower. Because Tianzhong Tower is the tallest building in Yancheng, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Yancheng from above.
Some people were dissatisfied and argued with the guards as to why Wan Qiuqing could go to the Bell Tower but they could not. However, the guards immediately drew their swords and warned them unreasonably, and they could only leave in frustration.
The sky is clear and the view is excellent.
As soon as he climbed up to the Tianzhong Tower and looked towards the south, Zhang Xiaozu's heart couldn't help but beat a little. He saw the towering, solid and thick gates of the South Five City open.
The two huge door leaves, which looked like stone but not stone, and looked like iron but not iron, fell outwards and fell to the ground, falling into pieces. I don’t know what caused it to be smashed into pieces.
A group of soldiers wearing helmets and armor gathered at the city gate. They looked at the empty city gate and were at a loss. They had never thought about this unexpected situation. For a while, they didn't know where to find anything to block this big hole.
boom!
There was another huge impact that resounded through the sky, causing the entire Nanling land to tremble slightly.
The gates of Nanliu City collapsed suddenly and fell to the ground and fell into pieces.
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes suddenly condensed. He had excellent eyesight and could see clearly. He could clearly see how the gates of South Sixth City were broken. At the same time, he also knew how the gates of South Five City were broken.
It was trampled by the hoofs of a handsome war horse wearing golden armor.
Zhang Xiaozu naturally did not believe that a horse could break through the towering and solid city gate, so his eyes immediately fell on the two people on horseback.
The former is wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, wearing a white wind, holding a rein in one hand and a cold light sword in the other. Because he was completely hidden in the armor, Zhang Xiaopou couldn't tell who it was, but he recognized the person behind the silver armor at a glance.
He was dressed in white attire, carrying a long sword with a black sheath, and his right arm was empty. Although he couldn't see his face, Zhang Xiaopou recognized the familiar figure as Zhou Jianlai at a glance.
Recognizing Zhou Jian, Zhang Xiaopou naturally knew who the man in silver armor driving the horse in front was, it was the Duke Wei Ziyu. It was no problem for him to cut through the stars with one sword and break down two city gates.
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help his heart tightening and clenched his fists. He didn't understand why the Duke of Guo did this and brought Zhou Jian with him. Wasn't this unfair to trap Zhou Jian?
But thinking that the two were already master and apprentice, there was nothing to say.
Zhang Xiaozu's gaze extended southward and fell outside the Southern Ten Cities. The rebel army was in a dense formation, and the darkness was endless and there was no end in sight. The formidable siege equipment, one after another, was already ready to go. Just waiting for the sound of a drum, it would launch a brutal attack and bombing on Yancheng.
Zhiyo——
A sharp and ear-piercing sound rang out in Nanliu City, and a signal flare pulled a dazzling red smoke tail and flew dozens of feet into the sky, exploding with a loud bang in the air. As the signal flare took off, the war drums of the rebels outside the city suddenly beat.
Obviously, this was a signal flare to inform the rebels.
Fire, thick smoke, shouts to kill, and screams - South Six, South Seven, South Eight, South Nine, South Ten, sudden chaos broke out in the five cities. The city was in chaos for a moment, but immediately armed soldiers came out to quell the rebellion. repression. Killed on the spot without mercy.
"Who can stop the Duke?!" Seeing the Duke galloping on the main road of Nanqi City, the soldiers who stepped forward to stop him couldn't even get close, and were about to approach the gate of Nanqi City. , Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel anxious.
It is true that he and Zhou Jianlai have a deep relationship as brothers, but that does not mean that he will stand in the same camp as Zhou Jianlai without thinking. He respects Zhou Jianlai's choice. If they meet on the battlefield in the future, it will be best if they don't fight. If If you have to fight, there will be no mercy.
But the best thing is that someone stands up to stop Wei Guogong now, so there is still room for turning.
So when he saw Wei Guogong galloping with one man and one horse, as if he were in a deserted place, Zhang Xiaopeng became more and more anxious.
"Why did Wei Guogong help the rebels?" Qi Changfeng was confused and muttered to himself. He thought he would not get the answer, but before he thought, Wan Qiuqing responded.
The voice said: "Because the people behind the rebels are the survivors of the Wei Dynasty. They want to overthrow Emperor Su and restore the Wei Dynasty."
"But-" Qi Changfeng frowned.
Wan Qiuqing knew why he frowned, and then said: "Listen to your master, huh--" Just as she was speaking, she suddenly took a breath of cold air and raised her hand to gently rub her forehead.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Qi Changfeng asked with concern.
"It's okay. I just feel a dull pain in my forehead. Maybe it was scratched by the energy during the battle." Wan Qiuqing said.
"——" Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Xiaozhu caught sight of the spot Wan Qiuqing was rubbing with his hands. He lowered his head in a hurry and looked at his nose and heart, pretending not to hear anything.
"Listen to your master, the reason why the Duke broke open the gate of the imperial capital back then was out of righteousness, but it was also mixed with personal anger." Wan Qiuqing continued. Zhang Xiaopou and Qi Changfeng both pricked up their ears curiously, ready to listen to this. An unknown secret.
"At that time, the land of Dayu was full of sorrows, and natural disasters such as hunger, disease, plague, bandits and bandits were raging in the world. Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of people died every day on the land of Dayu, but the four directions of east, west, north and south The rebel kings all attacked the imperial capital together, hoping to capture the imperial capital first and ascend to the throne. Seeing that the war was going to last for who knows how long, and the Wei dynasty really had no room for survival, the Duke of Wei resolutely decided that he would rather bear the world's infamy and open the country. The gate of the imperial capital welcomed the most powerful army of the Su family into the city at that time. Then Emperor Su ascended the throne and quelled the wars of Dayu with great force."
"This is the great righteousness of the Duke of the country, which is really admirable and admirable." Wan Qiuqing couldn't help but praise him.
"Then what is private anger?" Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but asked curiously.
"At that time, the king of Wei was extravagant and promiscuous. He spent his days in sensuality, wine and meat. He heard that there was a little girl named Su Wanying in the family of the right prime minister. She was so beautiful that she could conquer the country and the city. She was so beautiful that she could not be compared. So he was so lustful that he ignored the Prime Minister's pleadings and issued an imperial edict to recruit Su Wanying into the palace. But at that time, Su Wanying was already engaged, and her fiancé was none other than Wei Guogong. Moreover, Wei Guogong and his childhood sweetheart had already been privately engaged for life. . When Wei Guogong heard the bad news, he broke into the palace overnight, but was stopped outside King Wei's palace by the imperial guards. The next day, Su Wanying was canonized as a concubine. His fiancée turned into a daughter-in-law overnight. Do you think Wei Guogong was angry? "
"Hey, this is just personal anger!" Wan Qiuqing lamented, then changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, one of the people in power behind the rebels must be Su Wanying, otherwise there will be another world in this world. Who can invite the Duke who has already given up his heart? What’s more, let him repeat the scene of opening the gate of the imperial capital. This move is tantamount to uncovering the bloody scar in his heart and gouging out another scar. If you pour salt water into the hole, it will really kill someone!"
"But why did Su Wanying raise a flag to rebel?" Qi Changfeng asked, "Just because she is the concubine of King Wei? But this identity should be the painful memory she least wants to recall in her life."
"I'm afraid only she knows this issue." Wan Qiuqing said.
boom!
Wei Ziyu was so fierce that the gates of the seven northern cities were broken down.
An old monk wearing cassocks and with kind eyes appeared on the main road of Beiba City. Looking at Wei Ziyu who was riding a horse, he called out the Buddha's name and said loudly: "My lord, if you go here, you will cause endless evil." Listen to my advice, put down the butcher knife and let it go."
