Yifeng only saw her pouting her little mouth, as if she still had something to say, but was interrupted by Sima Luocheng's sudden exclamation.
Sima Luocheng, who was sitting upright on the main seat, changed from his pleasant expression to a gloomy expression. He looked straight at Lu Li, who was sitting a few short feet away on the right, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you really mean what the high priest said?"
Because Shi Meng was busy whispering to Yifeng, she didn't even care about what he and Lu Li said. Why did she act like she was about to break up with her after just half a cup of tea?
When she was surprised, Lu Li had already tilted his head slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Could it be that your Majesty doubts Lu's ability?"
As soon as these words came out, Sima Luocheng's originally gloomy expression quickly softened. He pulled out a stiff smile from the corner of his mouth and denied it, "How dare you? Everyone in Kyushu knows about the magical power of the high priest. Before he ascended the throne, he had already heard about it.
.However, now the Xia Army's 200,000 people are watching eagerly outside Xizhou City. The high priest must have heard about the ruthlessness of Gong Ziliang and the mystery of the Xia Kingdom's shaman clan. I am afraid that with the power of the high priest alone
, fighting against tens of thousands of people is a bit risky after all!"
Shi Meng was stunned and turned his head to look at Yifeng, but he pretended to ignore it and just lowered his head to drink tea. Shi Meng blinked at him anxiously, but he just nodded slowly, meaning, yes, that's right.
Just what you thought!
Only then did Xi Meng realize that it was him who was the envoy sent by Baili Bing, and he was also the reinforcement! Could it be that he was not a human, but a god? Can one person stop thousands of troops?
Unexpectedly, Lu Li had a nonchalant look on his face and waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please relax! Gong Ziliang is a headstrong man who is self-willed and tyrannical. He is nothing to be afraid of! Although Yinze, the leader of the Wu Clan, has some abilities, he can't cultivate them.
It's just heretical witchcraft. As for the 200,000 troops that your Majesty is worried about, it's even less worth mentioning. As long as your Majesty believes in Lu Li and is willing to agree to my Majesty's conditions, Lu Li will have his own way to defeat the enemy."
The determination and confidence in his words really surprised Xi Meng. Although the 200,000 Xia troops were all flesh and blood, they were all well-trained soldiers after all. Yuguan and Fuyang were defeated miserably, even if
Even people with profound spiritual power like Mu Zili are not sure that they can easily defeat the enemy here.
But he said it so calmly and calmly, as if it were child's play, which really made people raise eyebrows.
But the conditions he mentioned? She originally thought that Baili Bing would provide reinforcements out of friendship for Sima Luo City, but she didn't want to and added conditions.
Simeng felt a little disappointed. After all, the two countries were at war, and it was really impossible for other countries to help them unconditionally.
I just hope that Baili Bing won't try hard to rip off Sima Luocheng and the conditions he proposes won't be too ruthless.
Not three moments later, outside Xizhou City, the drums for surrender, which had been deafening like thunder, suddenly stopped making any sound.
The soldiers guarding the city in Xizhou were all a little surprised. It was not that they liked to hear the annoying drums, but it had been more than half a day since the Xia army besieged the city. The drums had not stopped for a moment, and now they stopped suddenly, which was unavoidable.
untie.
But this sudden silence was replaced by a burst of rapid and powerful drums in just a moment. However, in a moment, arrows rained down from the sky above Xizhou City, and the clouds suddenly fell into panic.
"The Xia army is attacking the city! The Xia army is attacking the city!" The soldiers on duty on the city tower shouted loudly. Everyone raised their shields to block, but the arrow rain was so dense that there was almost no gap. In the blink of an eye, many soldiers fell to the ground.
In a pool of blood.
In the lieutenant's tent, Sima Luocheng was looking at Lu Li with a smile. Before he could ask what Baili Bing wanted from him, his thoughts were disrupted by the exclamations and noise coming from outside the tent.
As soon as the previous move of lowering the drum stopped, everyone was just slightly startled and didn't take it seriously.
Only Shi Meng felt uneasy in her heart. Before she could think about it, she saw Lu Li, who was sitting at the table, suddenly flashed and flew towards Sima Luocheng who was sitting on the throne.
She only had time to shout, "Brother, be careful!"
Suddenly I felt dizzy, my body felt light, my waist felt warm, and there was a refreshing fragrance in my nose. When I calmed down, I saw that I was being held in Yifeng's arms, and the place where they were sitting was already covered with arrows.
"Meng'er, are you okay?" Yifeng asked softly in her ear, making sure she was fine before slowly putting her down.
Simeng patted her chest and gasped, "It's okay! It's okay! How could this happen? These arrows?"
While she was congratulating herself that she had not been shot into a sieve by those arrows, she suddenly remembered that there was Sima Luocheng in the tent. She hurriedly raised her head to look, and saw Sima Luocheng standing with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows furrowed and his face turned pale, staring coldly.
With those feathered arrows.
The man in black robe next to him had an expressionless face and a pair of slender eyes as deep as a cold pool, showing no emotion at all, as if the person who had saved Sima Luo City just now was not him.
Yi Feng flicked his sleeves, and an arrow fell into his palm. Xi Meng got closer and took a closer look. He saw that the ends of the arrows were engraved with the word "Xia" in seal script. He didn't need to think too hard about whether he could shoot the arrow into the palm.
Who else is in Yunjun's tent besides the Xiajun who are surrounding Xizhou City?
"Brother, Gong Ziliang is indeed a villain! We agreed before sunset and now we suddenly attack the city. Could it be..." She did not finish the rest of the words, but her purple eyes were full of worry.
The Xia army made a surprise attack. The Chinese army tent they were in was far away from the city gate and was hit by the arrows. She suddenly remembered that her precious disciple Long Hai was resting in the deputy general's tent. At this moment, she didn't know? Her heart trembled and she jumped out.
He wanted to walk out, but his sleeve was pulled by Yifeng beside him.
Looking up, Chang Yi, Xu Rong and Chen Yucai, the commander-in-chief of Xizhou, rushed into the camp at the same time. Sima Luocheng's expression was gloomy, not because they broke into the camp without notification, nor because they did not behave like a king or minister when they saw him.
, just because there is deep anxiety and uneasiness hidden in their eyes.
I'm afraid that Xi Meng's worry has become a reality, and there must be a reason why Gongziliang goes back on his word.
Sure enough, Xizhou Commander-in-Chief Chen Yucai lowered his arms, holding an arrow in one hand, while slowly raising the other hand, he saw a piece of bright yellow silk in his palm, which he was sending respectfully.
When he arrived at Sima Luo City, he said: "Reporting to you, sir, our army's sneak attack on the Xia army's grain and grass camp failed. Most of the dead soldiers who went forward were killed, and ten others were captured. Only one person took advantage of the chaos to escape from the enemy camp, but he was also seriously injured.
I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today. This is wrapped around the arrow I just pulled out in front of your tent, please take a look at it!"
Sima Luocheng took the silk cloth and slowly unfolded it, his expression becoming more gloomy.
After a long time, I saw him raising his eyes to look outside the tent, with a flash of suppressed anger in his eyes. He exerted force in his hands, and the silk cloth had already wrinkled into a ball. However, Chen Yucai said again: "I beg you, your Majesty, to follow us and evacuate the outer city quickly.
The army's offensive is very fierce, it is really not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
Chang Yi and Xu Rong also said: "Your Majesty, it is not too late!"
Seeing that the three of them were anxious to send him to a safe place, he slowly walked up to Simeng and gently placed the silk cloth in his hand into her palm.
