In Tianyue City, a homing pigeon fluttered its wings and cooed as it landed on the window sill of Nalanxue's room.

Seeing the pigeon coming, Yan Niang hurriedly grabbed a handful of rice from the purse on her waist and put it in front of the pigeon. She untied a small bamboo tube tied to its leg and took out the letter inside.

He held it in front of Nalan Xue.

The carrier pigeon flew from Tianxing City, and the letter it brought was written by Mo Ying. This Mo Ying was the one who led people to rob the Heavenly Prison and rescued the youngest of the Ling family.

"It's from Mo Ying, Princess."

Yan Niang carefully opened the palm-sized letter, read it in a blink of an eye as usual, then raised her head and said to Nalan Xue, "Mo Ying asked the princess if she had arranged a group of people to do things in the country.

?Previously, he had been ordered by his master to spread songs and teach children to sing. After the Emperor of Italy knew about it, he had people pretend to be Italian knights, kidnapped children, and 'rescued' those children as a knight...

...but because Emperor Yi has recently increased the reward for their arrest, he has never had a suitable opportunity...Yesterday, he arranged for someone to do it, and he was waiting on the streets of Tianshui City. Unexpectedly...he actually...

The young child kidnapped by others was rescued. When he returned to his residence, he realized that those people who were pretending to be Italian heavy cavalry had not yet gone out. They had rescued someone... Master, please give me instructions.

Come down, what should they do?"

After hearing what Yan Niang said in the letter, Nalan Xue couldn't help but frown. In the Italian country, she should have only sent Mo Ying and Mo Ji to lead a group of people to lurk. How could she send others?

According to what Mo Ying said in the letter, he "rescued" these kidnapped children without any effort. In other words, these "robbers" did not make things difficult for him... Could it be possible?

, is there a group of people in Italy who have the same idea as her? If indeed there are, then, who are these people? Are they enemies or friends? What is the purpose of doing this? Bai Duyu

Are the powerful ministers under the title of king planning to seize the opportunity to seize power, or... is there also a group of forces that have long disliked Bai Duyu and want to take this opportunity to give him a few "slaps" to make him lose face?

If it's the latter, then it's a good opportunity to take advantage of it. If... it's the former, Mo Ying and the others have to be more careful! Teaching a lesson and usurping power are two completely different things. One is to hope that everyone will

Everyone in the world knows that she did it. One is hoping that no one knows that she did it. One is that she can take the blame for what she planned, and the other is that if she is not careful, she will take the blame for others!

"Send a letter to Mo Ying and ask him to be more careful in the near future. Those children who were 'rescued' will be kept in the residence for a few days, and then they will find a way to send them back. Then, take everyone with them and change them.

residence."

After pondering for a moment, Nalan Xue decided to sail the ten-thousand-year ship with caution. It would be better to have a little trouble now than to waste time dealing with it if something happens in the future.

It was now late spring, and more than four months had passed since Jiang Yue's death. She wanted to move his bones to the royal mausoleum outside the city on Jiang Yue's memorial day. Previously, it would have taken at least two months.

They ordered people to dig up the original buried tombs of Bai Duyu's ancestors and build new tombs.

She didn't have much time, so she couldn't waste any time. She had to speed up a bit, but if that didn't work, she could just borrow some outside help.

After counting with her fingers, Nalan Xue felt that time was quite tight, and it was time to find someone to cooperate with her. Although Italy was now a grasshopper after autumn and had only been jumping around for a few days, the country's

The area was there, and if she had to swallow it all by herself, even if she captured a city in one day, it would still take six full months.

Moreover, Mo is now the most powerful among several countries. If it devours the territory of Italy without sharing the benefits with the other two countries, it will inevitably make them nervous and fearful.

The country, taking advantage of the fact that the Battle of Moyi has just ended, all the occupied cities need troops to handle them, and when the army is scattered, they attack...

She is not afraid of war, but once a war breaks out, how will she have time to build a new mausoleum for Jiang Yue?

You can't take advantage of it all at once, take a little less this time, and then take it back later, that's it!

…

Far away in Italy, outside Tianshui City, the man in black was temporarily staying in the Shishan hut. At this time, he was holding a handkerchief that only women would carry with them, and was lost in thought.

"Your Highness, the elegiac couplet you requested... I have copied it back..."

A tall guard walked into the door carefully, coughed slightly, took out a piece of paper from the leather pocket on his waist, and handed it to the man in black.

To be honest, he really couldn't figure it out. Why did His Highness the Prince ask him to copy such depressing things? The elegiac couplet was obviously written to the dead. His Highness the Prince was still alive and well. Look at this.

What are you doing!

"Being passionate and ambitious is sincere and admirable, being frank and sincere brings a good reputation. Tsk, this is really enough to look up to me... I thought she could write, "A mandarin flying in the mirror, a sad and solitary shadow, a phoenix with a hairpin head sighing about being single," and so on.

Woolen cloth……"

Hearing such a call, the man in black came back to his senses. He carefully put the handkerchief back into his sleeve, then reached out to take it from the guard and handed it to him. He looked down at it, and then,

The corner of his lips curled up and he laughed, "This damn woman, has she completely forgotten about Gu's proposal to marry her? She really deserves a beating!"

"The elegiac couplet that His Highness mentioned was written by the wife to her late husband, Nalan... The princess only accepted half of His Highness's betrothal gift, and has not paid homage to Heaven and Earth with His Highness. According to etiquette, she cannot write it..."

Being able to serve the people around Jiang Yue closely, he cannot be a brainless person. After hearing what he said, how could he still not understand his master's thoughts? The "General Nalan" who was originally going to be called, at this moment, suddenly

So he changed his words and changed to "Princess Nalan", "Your Highness, I see that the elegiac couplet written now is also very good, with pride, ambition, respectability, frankness, sincerity, and good reputation... It can be seen that in the princess's

In my heart, my evaluation of His Highness is enough..."

"Stop flattering me. Although your Highness likes to hear it."

Jiang Yue smiled and gave the guard a shove. He put the paper away in a very good mood and put it into a hand-sewn booklet at hand. This booklet was quite similar to the one that Nalan Xue always kept in his hand.

This book, but it looks like it is newly made. The word "雪" is written in charcoal on the cover, which is also crooked. Obviously, I am still not used to using charcoal. "Tell me about another thing I asked you to do."

One thing, how's it going?"

Hearing Jiang Yue ask about this matter, the guard's face couldn't help but darken. He thought that in the past, he was the number one master in Surabaya country, he could actually lose someone. This is really embarrassing! Such a big car

He had obviously been following the carriage without blinking an eye. How could it be that the people who came down were different from those who came up? What does this mean? Could it be that those people knew some weird magic and could fly into the sky?

Escape is impossible! Well, even if those people can fly and escape, those children can't do it? He specifically looked at the scene inside the carriage door when the curtain was lifted.

Where are the children?

"Lost?"

Jiang Yue didn't seem surprised by the guard's reaction. He only raised his eyebrows and teased him, "How does it feel to be dumped? Doesn't it look like he fell in love with a woman and asked a matchmaker to come to ask for her hand in marriage?

Did your mother get blasted out?"

"Your Highness, please try your best to tease your subordinates!"

When Jiang Yue said this, the guard's face turned red immediately, "In the future, I will give up the title of the number one master in the Surabaya Kingdom!"

"From what I see, this has nothing to do with your name."

Seeing that the guard was embarrassed, Jiang Yue also stopped smiling and stopped teasing him. He just reached out and picked up an old book from the book box next to him, flipped out a page and put it in front of him.

"Look at this."

A corner of the page was missing. It looked like it was quite old. It was a chronicle, telling the story of a family of secret guards who were loyal to the Lan family hundreds of years ago when the Lingtian Kingdom was not destroyed.

The records in the book are not exhaustive. They just say that this group of people is good at changing their appearance. Some of them are so powerful that they can even change their own body shape. Rumor has it that this technique is similar to what is recorded in Taoist classics.

The Bone Shrinking Technique is quite similar, but it is more powerful. It can not only shrink but also stretch. When the Lingtian Kingdom was first established, the founding emperor Lan Qichen sent this team to various places to work on it, collect reports, and prevent

Suffering from the backlash from many remaining forces, Ling Tian Kingdom stabilized.

Later, because this group "made great contributions to protecting the country", Lan Qichen granted them titles and fiefs. As soon as their children were born, they could enjoy national salary and be included in the secret guard roster. This group also expressed gratitude to Lan Qi

Thanks to Chen's "favor of knowing someone", he has been loyal to the Lingtian Kingdom. It was not until later that Mo destroyed Lingtian and burned the city in flames that this group of people inexplicably lost their whereabouts and never appeared in front of the world again. Historical records record that this group of people was missing.

A group of people with the compound surname Qianmo.

"What your Highness means...is that the group of people I lost with you are very likely to be the descendants of a strange person named Qian Mo who was a secret guard of the Lingtian Kingdom in the past?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then asked Jiang Yue his suspicions in disbelief.

Everyone knows that many years ago, Sima Jin, the founding emperor of the Mo Kingdom, asked his most trusted general to lead his troops to surround Moli City, where the secret guards of the Lingtian Kingdom were stationed, and set fire to the city for a month, along with all the people inside.

After all the innocent people were burned to ashes, it was announced that Lingtian had been destroyed and the Mo Kingdom was newly established.

But, according to Jiang Yue's meaning, how could it be that... no one in Moli City actually died? The atrocities of Sima Jin's city massacre recorded in official history are just fiction?

"My ancestor of the Jiang family once had a man with the compound surname of Sishui, who was the historian of the Emperor of Lingtian Kingdom. Because he had a close personal relationship with the emperor's close minister, Taoist Master Tianjing, he asked him to help with a divination. According to legend, the hexagram was very bizarre.

It is said that among the descendants of my Jiang family, there will be someone who will ascend to the ninth position. However, the heir was unfilial and the foundation was ruined in just three lifetimes. Later, with the help of the goddess, his son will make great achievements and become the world's hegemon."

As Jiang Yue spoke, he took back the books he had taken out before and put them back into the wooden box from which he had taken them. "At that time, my ancestor was frightened. He was afraid that if the emperor knew about it, he would kill him.

, to prevent future troubles, he gave the divination predicted by Taoist Master Tianjing and the many classics and books he handled to his most beloved young son, and gave him a lot of gold and silver, together with the young son's mother, his favorite

The concubines were also 'expelled' from the house, and they were asked to go away and establish a new family."

"This concubine is a person who knows books and is polite. Knowing that her husband loves her rather than abandoning her, she took her young son and moved to the frontier, changed her name, and lived a stable life."

Jiang Yue paused, picked up a purple clay pot on the small table in front of him, and took a sip. Seeing that the guard was still listening, he continued to lecture. "This woman's surname is Gong, so she took the homophony of her own surname.

It was spelled together with the word '水' in the husband's surname to form the word '江'. It was used as the surname of the descendants. The family books, together with the hexagrams, were all copied again and used as family knowledge to be passed down to the direct descendants."

"Your Highness, you mean that from now on, we will have the help of the goddess of heaven to achieve unparalleled achievements and become the world's hegemony?"

The guard didn't seem to believe Jiang Yue's prediction of the future. However, out of respect for him, he did not refute, "Where is the girl that day? Your Highness will tell you the reason, and I will help Your Highness catch her!"

"

"It was exactly three generations since my great-grandfather founded the country and my father perished. There were wars in the past and many members of the Surabaya royal family perished. As of now, I am the only one who is still alive."

Jiang Yue took a deep breath and did not answer the guard's question. He only narrowed his eyes, lay back on the soft couch, and smiled happily, "I have found Gu's goddess... From the first sight

She, Gu then knows that she should be Gu's destined person. How can you, a savage and rough man, understand the secret of this? A woman like her, when she is not happy, is the support of gold and silver.

Even if you go up, you may not be able to get her to smile... When she is happy, she will be happy even if she eats and drinks... When she doesn't want to, thousands of troops will only be destroyed by her hands... Under her

When you wish, it is..."

Hearing Jiang Yue suddenly raised his head, he began to talk non-stop, with a happy look on his face, as if tomorrow he would pray to the heaven and earth with the person he likes, enter the bridal chamber, have a family full of descendants, and be blessed with good fortune and eternal prosperity. Well, that,

No, they have been together for a long time, and the guard knew who he was talking about.

I think that His Highness is a wise and mighty person, but when has he ever thought about a woman who is so incomprehensible and unable to sleep peacefully?

Recently, he had heard a lot about Princess Nalan's powerful things, but he didn't want to believe that a woman in her twenties who had not yet had anyone ask for her hand in marriage could do such a terrible thing.

A character! If this woman is really that amazing, and has such a world-famous brother as her support, how can the Nalan Mansion still be trampled to pieces by matchmakers every day?!

Huh, 80% of the time, those previous battles were all won by her brother’s advice! Anyway, Nalan Shu’s reputation is already famous enough, so it’s not a big deal to give some to his sister!

"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. This is the first time. Next time I find out, you will speak ill of my princess in your heart, but be careful that I won't spare you."

Jiang Yue just smiled and stretched out his hand, knocking on the guard's forehead, without getting angry with him seriously, "Go and find the place where you lost track of, and then search carefully. If you can find their residence, don't be anxious yet.

Come and tell me, I will personally visit them and see if I can convince them to work for me."

…

In Tianshui City, Mo Ying received a reply written by Yan Niang from Tianyue City.

That night, they loaded up the carriages and horses, took the Ling family and the few "rescued" children with them, and left the yard they rented for temporary residence. Early the next morning, they were divided into several groups.

After leaving Tianshui City, we headed towards Tianxing City.

Those children were all kidnapped from Tianxing City. To send them home, they naturally had to go to Tianxing City. Moreover, it was also the city that faced Tianyue City. It would be good if they went there to create more public opinion.

Help Nalan Xue win people's hearts, so that there will be less trouble and chaos when the army enters the city in the future.

Speaking of which, these children who were "rescued by mistake" turned out to be useful by chance!

So, another day later, Jiang Yue personally came to visit him and wanted to "be courteous to the virtuous corporal", but he came up empty-handed.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Jiang Yue sighed helplessly, sat back on the carriage, and ordered people to return. Sure enough, he still underestimated these knights who were most likely the descendants of the Lingtian Kingdom's secret guards.

, I sent the top master of the Surabaya Kingdom in the past to explore, but they would all be discovered, and then escape... Among these people, there must be people who are more than capable than Su Ling!

Of course, Jiang Yue didn't know that it was just a coincidence. It wasn't until later that he got the opportunity to talk to Mo Ying about it. When Mo Ying said that he really didn't notice it, he thought that Mo Ying was being modest and gave it to him.

His bodyguard, his close friend who grew up together, the number one master in Surabaya, Su Ling, save face and leeway, of course, this is a story later.

…

Shang Kingdom, July City.

A letter written by Nalan Xue was delivered to the palace through Mo Xian's hands.

Facing this one "benefactor" whom he had been searching for on the imperial list for a long time but had never received any information, Shang Fusu's attitude was even more polite than when he treated the envoys from various countries when the Four Nations Conference was held in the Shang Kingdom.

More than ten times more.

After hearing Mo Xian say that he was here to deliver a message on behalf of "the master's sister", the smile on Shang Fusu's face suddenly became even brighter!

Shang Fusu's mood after receiving Nalan Xue's handwritten letter from Mo Xian's hand. That's a joy. In this era, when a woman writes a letter to a man, that's... Well, most of them are...

...Ahem, this one is an exception...

What Nalan Xue wrote to Shang Fusu was not a letter expressing her sincere feelings, expressing her longing for each other, but a letter to remind him, telling him that he could "consider" it and take advantage of the present to express his love for Italy.

An invitation to use troops and share the benefits with Mo State!

In the letter, Nalanxue analyzed the current situation to Shang Fusu.

The Shang Kingdom and the Italian Kingdom were once related by marriage, but the two people who were married were the late second prince Shang Lecheng of the Shang Kingdom and Bai Zhanyue, the eldest princess of the Italian Kingdom. Previously, Shang Lecheng was neither the legitimate son nor the legitimate son.

A person who does not have a relative to control the army can still accumulate hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals in his hands. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no support from the country of Italy.

Now, both Shang Lecheng and Bai Zhanyue died in defeat due to rebellion. Naturally, the in-marriage relationship between Shang and Yi was gone. Mo could use the forced marriage from Yi as an excuse to attack. Shang,

Why can't Italy do the same thing by interfering in the internal affairs of Shang State?

The hundreds of thousands of Italian troops have been captured by Mo, leaving only less than 30,000 heavy armored cavalry, still stationed in Tianxing City, far away from the Shang-Yi border. If at this time, Shang sent troops to attack Italy,

It will definitely happen, there will be no disadvantages, and success will be achieved!

If someone else had written this letter to Shang Fusu, after he got it, he would definitely think twice before making a decision. However, the person who wrote the letter was Nalan Xue, but it was completely different!

When Shang Fusu thought about it, Nalan Xue should be more enamored of him. Otherwise, why would she send someone to send him this letter? Although, the current situation is indeed as she said in her heart, he

He can attack Italy at any time, and he is guaranteed to get benefits, but with Nalan Shu sitting in Mo Country... without the promise from there, how can he dare to worry about the food in Mo Country's bowl?

"Please ask Miss Mo Xian to help me transfer this item to the princess."

He held the golden hairpin in his hand and played with it, but didn't know what reason to give it to Nalan Xue. He held it in front of Mo Xian. Shang Fusu seemed a little guilty and said, "Tell the princess, within three days,

Shang Fu Su Ding gathered the soldiers and sent troops to support the country. This thing... is a gift of thanks from me! Thank her for commenting on the current situation!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Mo Xian will definitely live up to his trust."

Mo Xian smiled and raised his eyebrows, curling his lips with a hint of a smile, "Tell her your Majesty's thoughts."

…

In Tianxing City, a group of unfamiliar merchants suddenly arrived.

The clerks in these batches of merchants seem to come from the same family, and their appearance and behavior are very similar.

This group of merchants brought with them a dozen children from the homes of ordinary people in Tianxing City who were kidnapped by men in black clothes and horses. They said that they were rescued by a knight friend of their shopkeeper when they were in Tianshui City.

of.

Those children who had been separated from their parents for several days couldn't help but burst into tears after meeting their parents. While crying, they told their parents about the terrible things that happened after they were kidnapped.

, had no food to eat, were beaten, and were almost thrown to the ground to death... If a big brother in white who called himself Mo Ying hadn't rescued them, and a beautiful sister gave them food, they would have come back without their lives!

The name Mo Ying is familiar to the people of Italy.

These days, his portrait and wanted list are posted in various cities in Italy, saying that he is a villain who rescued traitors, and these so-called traitors are all the elders of the Ling family.

Small.

Everyone in Italy knows that in order to protect the emperor's foundation, the Ling family has died and only a few grandchildren are left. When the rebels besieged the city, even the old lady in the family went into battle with soldiers and generals.

Defending the enemy... who believes that the Ling family is a traitor to the country and collaborating with the enemy? To use the words of the "storyteller". This is clearly the case, when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked!

People in Italy are often afraid of trouble, but people in Surabaya are very happy to fight against injustice. At that time, Surabaya was divided into four parts. There were as many as ten cities in Surabaya that were included in Italy, including Tianxing City, the imperial capital of Surabaya.

The people in the ten cities got along with the original Italians, intermarried, and did business. As time went by, many of them learned to like fighting against injustices. In addition, there were some "storytellers" that Mo Ying had arranged long ago.

"Mr." fanned the flames... He was afraid of death, complained for the Ling family's grievances, and applauded the "evil bandits". There were many of them. How could there be anyone willing to help Bai Duyu hunt down the "evil bandits"?

Now, after hearing that this "evil bandit" rescued an innocent child from a self-respecting rider, in Tianxing City, where the majority of Surabaya people are from, how can one not understand the "reason" for this!

The dozen or so children who had been kidnapped, and when they were filled with despair, the parents who had lost and found them all spontaneously went to look for neighbors, relatives and friends, and persuaded them to be like themselves and not to supply water from their own wells to the Italian garrison. Those who were persuaded

They went to convince their neighbors, relatives and friends... Within a few days, the Italian cavalry stationed in Tianxing City were seriously deprived of drinking water!

Looking at the wells that had been filled up in every household, Bai Jifeng, the "supervisor" and the two new generals, felt bad.

A man can live without water for three days, but a horse will die without water for three days. They can dig their own wells to provide drinking water, but if they want to really ensure that they can get good drinkable water, it will take three days! Three days is not enough!

After a few days, all the horses died of thirst, and the heavy cavalry in their army were all turned into decorations. If they were to attack from the opposite side, wouldn't it mean that they would only be captured without mercy?

If there are just a few people causing trouble, they can use the power of the government to arrest them and "clean them up", but nearly two-thirds of the people in the city are doing this...

Dong-one-one-one-one-one-one

Just when Bai Jifeng and the two new generals who were retreating to Tianxing City were having a headache and were discussing countermeasures, a low sound of war drums sounded outside the city!

…

Outside Tianxing City, in the vast endless wilderness, Nalan Xue was wearing a white single coat, riding leisurely on a horse. She didn't look like she was here to declare war. Standing side by side with her, on the left, was Yu Chigong, and on the right was Yu Chigong.

Ling Xiao.

She didn't bring many people, only 10,000 light cavalry and a few hundred crossbowmen. However, her formation was sharp and rigorous, and those who knew the art of war would know at a glance that she was not an easy character to deal with.

"Read the military order."

Nalanxue squinted her eyes and glanced at the crossbowmen who had gathered on the city wall with their arrows ready. Then she yawned indifferently, raised her head as if bored, looked at the sky, and looked at the people beside her.

The deputy general ordered.

The deputy general stepped forward and took out a large and a small iron cylinder from the leather pocket on his horse. He put the small one to his mouth and read out Nalan Xue's personal words.

The military order is issued.

Originally, the deputy general felt puzzled by this strange iron tube. However, after several experiments, he discovered that this strange and simple thing can actually amplify people's voices! As long as the person who speaks

With a little effort, people can hear clearly even those who are far away from the city walls and houses! It is most suitable for calling people or issuing notices! This is comparable to posting announcements, which is faster and more convenient.

Got it!

The military order issued by Nalan Xue is not so much for the people in front of him at this time, but rather for the people in the city opposite. It is more appropriate. The military order is very simple. First, after the city is broken,

, No one is allowed to burn or destroy houses or shops. Secondly, no one is allowed to harm or insult the people. Thirdly, if people accidentally damage their belongings, they must pay compensation at the market price. If any of the above is violated, military law will be dealt with.

Since ancient times, after a city has been captured by force, the victorious generals will first plunder and loot everything that is convenient to carry in the city, either to line their own pockets or to hand it over to the army treasury. Therefore, there are many big households in the city.

In order to protect his own wealth, he donated a large amount of gold and silver to the defenders to protect the city.

However, after Nalan Xue's military order, the situation in Tianxing City changed instantly!

Originally, the wealthy families who planned to donate their weapons and slaves to help defend the city hurriedly sent people to take the items that had been moved to the yard back into the warehouse. Originally, they planned to compromise with the government and army and provide them with water and food.

The common people also stopped their plans and went back to their homes, never going out again.

There were already a shortage of soldiers in the city, and the heavy horses could not carry anything too heavy due to their previous running. At this time, although they could barely go to the battlefield, they could only carry light cavalry at most, and

Those who followed Bai Jifeng back from the front of the formation were all heavy cavalry, without the special armor of the light cavalry... In other words, the current situation of the cavalry in Tianxing City is that the armored horses cannot carry them, but the horses can carry them.

, no armor to wear!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, in my opinion... we should let the Tianxing City garrison hold on here, and we should take our heavy cavalry and retreat to Tianmang City to give them more time to recuperate. That is the best policy..."

After pondering for a long time, a veteran general who was newly sent by Bai Duyu to lead the troops took a step forward and discussed with Bai Jifeng, "Although they are light cavalry, their formation is rigorous. If I heavy cavalry and regroup, I might be able to compete with them.

It’s a bit difficult now that it’s like this…”

"You, you mean, let me run away again?! I have 30,000 heavy cavalry and two veteran generals. Are you still afraid of their 10,000 light cavalry led by women? You, you... are you my father?

The emperor sent us to lead the troops. He was sent from the opposite side to destroy the prestige of our country!"

After hearing the veteran's advice, Bai Jifeng immediately became angry. He slapped the table so hard that his hands hurt. He gritted his teeth and kicked the table in frustration.

He looked up to the sky, "There are also city guards, aren't there more than 10,000 people?! Where are the people? Where are they all dead!"

"The city guard said that there were originally more than 10,000 people, but in the past few days, many of them have reported illness and gone home, and these are the only ones who are still there."

As the veteran spoke, he pouted at the less than 2,000 crossbowmen on the city wall, saying that he was helpless, "In the current situation, we can defend the city, but it is absolutely impossible to go out to fight.

, but...at this time, the people in the city are inexplicably unwilling to provide drinking water to our garrison..."

"It must be that woman Nalanxue who caused the trouble! She used such despicable methods! I'll go, I'll go find her to judge!"

Hearing what the veteran said, Bai Jifeng suddenly lost his temper. He thought he was sincere and wanted to marry her and become his concubine. He promised her the position of queen in the future, but she didn't.

Such disrespect! If you don't persuade Emperor Mo properly, let him prepare four cities as a dowry, and marry him happily, that's all. Now, his father has generously promised ten cities to him.

She is being treated as a betrothal gift and yet she is still making things difficult like this. What on earth is she going to do before she is willing to give up!

Bai Jifeng, who had been pampered by a group of people since childhood, naturally didn't understand that not everyone in this world had to be respectful to him, and not everyone in the world had to be filled with joy for what he had given.

Before the veteran could stop him, Bai Jifeng turned around and ran up the city wall. Holding the city wall, he shouted to Nalan Xue who was three or four hundred meters away from the city, "Nalan Xue! You don't know how to appreciate a woman! You want to

There are so many people in the world who want to marry Gude! Gu wants to marry you, you, why don’t you marry me happily, and why are you so embarrassed with Gu! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?

"

Boom one one

A heavy arrow hit the city wall hard, making a big hole in the solid stone building the city wall. The flying stone fragments hit Bai Jifeng's forehead, knocking him right between the eyebrows.

A piece was broken, and bright red blood dripped out in an instant.

This arrow was shot by Ling Xiao, it was not inaccurate, it was just a warning to Bai Jifeng not to continue to speak dirty words to Nalan Xue.

Ordinary ordinary arrows can only shoot about two hundred meters from top to bottom. Heavy arrows can only shoot more than three hundred meters at most before losing their power. However, Ling Xiao's arrow has a range of about two hundred meters.

It shot from bottom to top, a full four hundred meters away, and it was so powerful that it broke the city wall made of solid stone. The stone fragments bounced off and hit Bai Jifeng. This was so powerful that others didn't know.

Crossbowmen, how can you still not know?

"Since there are so many people willing to marry you, why don't you marry them all and ask each of them to bring you four cities' dowry?"

Seeing the angry look on Bai Jifeng's face, Nalan Xue couldn't help but laugh. This spoiled child was really speechless. She spoke as if she felt sorry for him, "

I don't want to marry you, but why are you bothering me?"

"I don't like other people... I don't like other people! I like you! So, so, you, you have to marry me!"

As Bai Jifeng spoke, he took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and covered his bleeding forehead. There was a cry in his words, "I, I don't even think you are older than me.

You, why are you not happy?! Why!"

"I just annoy a rude and rude kid like you. Does this excuse count?"

Facing Bai Jifeng, who was almost twenty years old and still had the temper of a child and was ready to shed tears, Nalan Xue just felt a headache. She was here to declare war, but how could she...

It’s time to chat with this guy who doesn’t make sense! If we keep talking like this, it’s time for lunch. Is this a fight?

"Then...then...if, if I become, I don't annoy you, I don't annoy you, I become polite...can you, can you like me?"

Bai Jifeng thought about it for a moment, and as if he had made a great determination, he poked his head out of the city wall again, and continued to ask Nalan Xue, "If you want more dowry, then you think you can match it."

As for your status, I can also go back and tell my father to ask him to bring out a few more cities to give you as betrothal gifts. You see... is this okay?"

Facing a "mental illness" like Bai Jifeng who attacks from time to time, Nalan Xue really lost all his temper.

If you fight, you will appear to be reckless and unreasonable. If you enter the city in the future, you will not be able to convince the crowd.

Don't fight. The fact that Bai Duyu killed Jiang Yue made her worried again.

In Zhaoyang City of Mo State, there is Sima Qing waiting for her to show her "sincerity" and repay his "favor of not marrying"...

When Nalanxue had a headache and was worried about how to deal with it next, the veteran who was sent by Bai Duyu to lead the troops and who had previously proposed to Bai Jifeng to retreat, secretly walked behind Bai Jifeng and pointed at Bai Jifeng with a knife.

Bai Jifeng's neck was chopped off and he was knocked unconscious. He put it on his shoulders and trotted down the city wall!

…

More than half an hour later, the gate of Tianxing City opened wide.

The city guard did not wear armor and brought several personal guards. He held the city seal in his hand and walked out. He faced Nalanxue and his party from a distance, held the city seal high above his head, and knelt down to salute.

Hold the seal and accept surrender.

More than ten years ago, Nalan Xue also received the seal from a man who surrendered under Tianxing City. The young man at that time was only a few years older than her, thin, fair-skinned, and had a pair of eyes.

It was as bright as the stars in the sky. When they were doing the sealing, she accidentally touched her hand, then blushed and looked away.

Nowadays, things are the same and people are no longer the same.

The young man had died in a mountain fire, but the person who killed him was still living happily in the palace, which was 90% away from here.

"Jiang Yue, you bastard, you blushed and turned away because you realized that I was a woman."

Muttering in her heart, Nalan Xue took back her spirit, jumped off the horse, led Yuchi Gong and Ling Xiao forward, approached the city guard, grabbed the city seal with one hand, and threw it back

, he threw it to the adjutant who followed him, and he seemed to be just saying it casually. He asked the city guard, "When did Bai Jifeng and the others leave?"

"We've been gone for more than half an hour."

As the city guard spoke, he rolled up his sleeves nervously, raised his hands above his head, and showed Nalan Xue, "They tied the villain to a chair in the room! They didn't mean to condone it! General, please

Mingjian!"

"Just leave. Sooner or later, I will lead people to fight against Jishui City. If he can escape the monk, can he escape the temple?"

Nalan Xue didn't even bother to look, she just smiled lightly, bypassed the city guard, and walked towards Tianxing City, "I heard that in Tianxing City, the former Sishui Kingdom's Crown Prince's Palace is still there. Can you please take it with you?"

How about giving me a tour and taking me there?"

Seeing that Nalan Xue was not angry, the city guard was relieved. He hurriedly got up from the ground, followed Nalan Xue, and took her to the west of the city, towards the Xu family's old residence.

The Crown Prince's Palace in Surabaya is different from other countries in that it was requested by Jiang Yue and Jiang Tiansheng. It was built not far to the east of the grandfather's house, rather than near the palace. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to
