Yi Fan listened to the increasingly clear drum sounds and led his troops straight down.
at the same time.
The Hexi soldiers and the Ghost Slaughter Cavalry surrounded Liu Kai's army, and the contest between the two armies officially began.
Wei Wuji looked at the fierce battlefield not far from the city, and his hand bones turned white. This sudden army attacked Guangling as if it was life-threatening from the beginning, until he saw the evil ghost mask in the crowd.
General Ghost Slaughter Cavalry.
One of the fierce generals under Zhou Manzi.
He was also the general that Zhou Manzi took with him when he went to Jianghuai. His mind was suddenly confused. Didn't General Cheng say that Zhou Manzi was always being watched by him? Why are his generals here!
The battle between the two armies below the city has entered its most intense stage. Both sides refused to give in. The Guangling Army took the lead and suffered numerous casualties. Then came the duel between the Huainan Army led by Liu Kai and the Gui Tuqi and Hexi Army.
The two sides slashed at each other with swords and stabbed each other with their swords, and blood flowed under the city of Guangling.
Until Jin Ben cut off Liu Kai's head with a sword.
Wei Wuji saw Liu Shouliang kneeling beside him and crying bitterly.
With the death of the general, the Huainan army was defeated like a mountain.
In Hexi, Gui Tu defeated the Huainan Army.
Wei Wuji's eyes were bleeding. Liu Shouliang endured the great grief and stood up. He grabbed the young prince and went down the tower. Guangling could not be saved. He had to ensure the safety of the young prince. Only when the young prince was safe could the position of Huainan Army Deputy Envoy be available. Maybe he was sitting.
Jin Ben looked at the panic at the top of the city.
The face under the evil ghost mask smiled.
Let’s welcome the mistress into the city tonight. Compared with Guangling, the land of Shennong is still a little barren.
It just so happens that the master is coming tonight too.
Chapter 211
Xiao Luolan was honestly a little confused when she saw Jin Ben.
In the afternoon, I was still worried about whether Shennong Town would be breached. In the evening, I saw Jin Ben. The long cavalry held torches and lit up Shennong Town like a fire dragon. The fire dispelled the coming darkness and also illuminated Jin Ben. Dried blood on the Ghostbusters mask.
He turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said: "Jin Ben pays homage to the princess. Guangling has been captured. Please enter the city."
Hexi general Xu Huaice also turned over and dismounted. Under the swaying fire, he did not dare to look at the princess's appearance. He just straightened his waist and, on behalf of the Hexi soldiers behind him, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "The last general, the right cavalry general of the Hexi army, Xu Huaice , here to welcome the princess into the city!"
Perhaps infected by the joy after the victory in the war, every cavalryman's face was filled with excitement. The sound of armor clattering suddenly. They dismounted at the same time, half-knelt on the ground, cupped their hands and clasped their fists. The sound was deafening.
"Welcome the princess to the city!"
Xiao Luolan looked at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground and said quickly: "Soldiers, please get up quickly."
As the soldiers at the front stood up, everyone soon stood up.
Xiao Luolan looked at Jin Ben, Yi Fan, Xu Huaance and the others, as well as the dusty soldiers and horses behind them, and was moved. She wished them a blessing and said: "This crisis depends on all the generals leading the troops in time." After arriving, we solved the crisis of Shennong's siege. Please accept my worship."
Jin Ben quickly avoided the mistress's salute and took the lead: "The princess' words are true, this is what we should do."
Xu Huaicai couldn't hide his excitement. This was the first time that his Hexi Army showed their faces in front of the princess. He said respectfully: "General Jin is right. We have prepared the carriage and the palace where we will stay. It is at Shushan Mountain in Guangling." Jiangdu Palace is just waiting for the princess to arrive."
Yi Fan blew the evening breeze and felt silent mourning for General Guitu, who was not good at speaking at home. He looked at Dai Chenggong's men, their mouths were full of smiles. When they met for the first time, he told the name of the army and official positions he belonged to. In front of his mistress, After signing up, I followed the general's words for the second time, and it didn't seem out of the blue, and the sale was good.
Yi Fan stood up and said: "Princess, please take the first step. I still need to deal with some things."
After getting along with each other these days, Xiao Luolan trusted Lieutenant General Yi very much: "I need to leave more manpower for you." Then he remembered something: "Soldiers with heavy casualties in the camp should not be moved. I thought of letting them stay here in Shennong Town. Is it convenient to practice for a few days first?"
"Of course." Yi Fan glanced at Gao Chongying.
Gao Chongying, who had been holding his breath and kept silent, said: "Princess, please don't worry, in my military town, they can cultivate as long as they want."
Xiao Luolan thought about it carefully again and didn't miss anything before calling her daughter, Shiliu, Qinghe and the others got on the carriage to Guangling, followed by Luo Jinhu's caravan and the people left by Lian Shiqing. After this war, , these people obediently surrounded Luo Jinhu's caravan.
He Jin led the old and thin donkey given to him by the Sixteenth Prince and walked slowly behind him. Zheng Yuxin sat on the donkey upside down and hummed softly.
As the princess's carriage gradually moved away.
Yi Fan looked at Gao Chongying, and Gao Chongying felt frightened by what he saw: "Vice General Yi, please tell me something."
Having seen the ferocity of the Ghost Tuqi with his own eyes, Gao Chongying lost all caution this time.
"You and I will lead our troops back to support General Zhang Ya and Tian Jian later. By daybreak, I hope the two towns of Yizheng are under our control."
Gao Chongying was shuddered, but finally nodded: "Everything will follow Vice General Yi's orders."
"Very good." Yi Fan stretched his muscles and bones, but his blood was still strong.
In the carriage, Xiao Qinghe was absent-minded and in a daze, and finally couldn't help but said: "Aunt, I want to stay at my senior brother's house tonight. The senior brother's mansion is on the street behind the prefecture's Yamen. His mansion is lush with flowers and plants. I have been there several times before and am very familiar with it, so I can go there without being guided.”
Xiao Luolan thought of Commander Wu who was imprisoned: "Qinghe, don't worry. When we wait in Guangling, I will ask General Jin to rescue Commander Wu."
Xiao Qinghe sat upright on the green mat with red eyes: "Thank you, aunt."
Xiao Luolan laughed, and touched Xiao Qinghe's head lovingly: "You're welcome, wouldn't it be unfamiliar to say thank you to my aunt?"
Zhou Shiliu was lying on the window, and his sharp eyes noticed that Zheng Yuxin was sitting on his donkey. He suddenly became furious and went down to settle accounts noisily.
Xiao Qingxue looked at this scene and smiled for the first time today, giggling.
Xiao Luolan opened the curtain and asked Jin Ben: "General Jin, you are all here, who is in charge in Guangling City?"
Jin Ben said: "It's General Dai." He added: "General Dai also contributed a lot to this raid."
Dai Chenggong was specially called by his lord. He selected the elites of Hexi and asked the Hexi general to personally lead the troops. Together with himself, he must be sure to be foolproof.
The lord was closely watched by Cheng Quanhai and could not escape a few days ago. After all, Shouzhou City is now the top priority.
"Maybe Commander Wu has regained his freedom now." Jin Ben said. After all, Wu Tongjie is a member of Duke Xiao's family. Dai Chenggong will think of such a person as long as he takes over Guangling. Since they are all members of his own family, what else is there to say? .
Xiao Qinghe's eyes lit up.
The carriages and horses galloped, and finally entered the city of Guangling when the night was dark. When they arrived at Guangling, the bloody smell of the battlefield had not dissipated.
Enter the city.
Dai Chenggong asked Jin Ben to take over Guangling City, and then he galloped away with a group of soldiers, replacing him with guarding Shouzhou.
The lord has only one request for him, which is to defend the city. No matter how Cheng Quanhai calls outside, he should ignore it. Colonel Fang Yuhuo from Luzhou is also in Shouzhou City, guarding the city with him.
Jin Ben took his mistress to the governor's office and asked Xu Huaice to continue what he had done before Chenggong. Xu Huaance walked in Guangling City with the official documents of Governor Wu, and the people of Guangling who closed the doors and windows of every household informed Guangling City Now that the owner has changed, the troops in the city will not be killed, and the Youzhou army will not massacre the city or disturb the people. Everything remains as before.
The governor's office.
When Xiao Qinghe saw the blood-stained senior brother on his prison clothes, he could no longer bear it and ran to him: "Brother, how are you?"
"It would be a great blessing if you don't die." Wu Tongjie's temples turned white. He looked calm and bowed deeply to the woman in charge of the hall: "I would like to thank you, Princess, for rescuing me."
Xiao Luolan asked Xia He and Dong Xue to serve tea: "Master Wu, please have a seat."
She looked at the old man and considered her words: "Governor Wu, your family and relatives have been released by General Dai, but your youngest son and some of the disciples you taught before were executed by King Chu Ling. Please also express your condolences.”
Wu Tongjie had actually expected it, but when he actually heard it, he still hunched over for a moment, and then murmured for a long time: "I know." The old man's face was full of grooves, but there were no tears, and only the hand holding the tea was wet. After a moment of stability, he noticed the unrest in his heart.
Xiao Luolan couldn't bear to see it.
Xiao Qinghe couldn't hide his grief and anger, lowered his head and choked with sobs.
Because it was getting late, Xiao Luolan didn't want to disturb Governor Wu anymore, so he asked the soldiers to take him home. Qinghe also followed his senior brother.
By the time they arrived at Jiangdu Palace, Xiao Luolan was already exhausted. The past two days were really frightening, and her mood was up and down. After washing, she fell into bed and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but a bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky outside the window, followed by heavy rain, rumbles of thunder resounded across the sky, summer thunderstorms, and the window lattice was swayed by the wind.
After Xiao Luolan was awakened by the muffled thunder, she could no longer sleep. She always felt that she heard the sound of horse hooves amid the thunder of wind and rain.
Xiao Luolan looked at the bed curtain and woke up in a daze, wondering if she had been too nervous in the past two days. Even in her sleep, there was the sound of horse hooves.
It was stormy and stormy outside, and Xiao Luolan didn’t know what time it was. After feeling sleepy for a while, Xiao Luolan put on her clothes and got up, picked up the candlestick, and wanted to see her daughter. During the day, her daughter was very frightened. .
As soon as the door opened, the wind and rain blew all over her body, and the candles were blown out. Xiao Luolan returned to the palace and looked for rain gear, but found that there was not even an oil-paper umbrella in Nuo Da's palace.
Seeing that the storm is getting stronger, he is about to enter the house.
Xiao Luolan had no choice but to turn back and close the door. Suddenly she saw someone wearing armor striding towards him in the pouring rain.
Xiao Luolan's heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened slightly. Before she could say anything, Zhou Xu had already stepped onto the steps. The lanterns in the corridor were swaying, and a thick shadow enveloped Xiao Luolan's whole body.
The door creaked.
Xiao Luolan was pushed hard against the door. Sect Leader Zhou's hands were soaked with rainwater, soaking the material around her waist. Fortunately, thanks to its blocking function, she was not hit by the door.
Zhou Xu's breathing was a little unsteady, partly because he was running late at night, and partly because he hadn't seen his wife for too long.
He lifted his wife's chin and kissed her fiercely and hard. The rain on the armor was cold. Xiao Luolan's eyelashes trembled, and the tips of her ears were red, hidden in her hair.
Zhou Xu hugged his wife tightly around her waist and carried her into the room.
By the way, he kicked the door shut.
Zhou Xu hugged his wife and smiled silently.
Xiao Luolan's clothes were all wet from the rain on his armor. She looked at Sect Leader Zhou, whom she hadn't seen for several days, and found that his beard was rough, his eyes were bloodshot, and he scrawled as if he hadn't slept for a few days. .
"I hope Madam is fine." Zhou Xu put his arm around Madam's waist and asked her to sit on his lap. Only when he saw Madam safe and sound with his own eyes did he feel completely relieved.
"What can happen to me? Vice General Yi and the others are very powerful. They beat Liu Kai and the others away." Xiao Luolan looked at the dusty Sect Master Zhou and didn't want him to worry too much.
Zhou Xu kissed Madam and felt very soft: "Madam is also very powerful. I heard from Yi Fan that Madam is calm in times of danger and has the air of a general."
Xiao Luolan blushed. She really didn't know how Zhou Zongzhu could boast so well. She didn't come up with any war strategy, and she only had a partial understanding of the military manual.
Zhou Xu stared at Madam, kissed her carefully, and kissed the rain on her neck. Madam might not believe it. After learning that the Shouzhou incident was leaked, at that moment, Zhou Xu felt that his mind went blank.
Xiao Luolan put her snow-white fingers on the dark and cold armor and curled up slightly.
The rain is a bit cold.
Sect Leader Zhou was too hot.
