"Let's wait for two more days. If no reinforcements come to help us after two days, then we have only one way."
With his hands behind his back, Lin Yiqiu looked helpless.
"Abandon the city and run away, this is the only way!"
This is the worst result.
Because once the city is abandoned, it means that Shiye City, which has an extremely critical geographical location, will be handed over to others.
With the strength of the eldest princess, coupled with the heavy guard, it will not be easy to counterattack in the future.
But if that time comes, there is nothing we can do about it.
As the saying goes, if you save the land and lose the people, everyone and the land will be lost. If you save the people and lose the land, everyone and the land will survive!
Lin Yiqiu is not a pedantic guy. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. When that happens, he will definitely find an opportunity to escape with the imperial army immediately!
But before that, he still had to hope that Emperor Qian knew about this matter and that reinforcements had arrived from the capital.
And just as Lin Yiqiu thought, after a fierce forced march, on the third day, Pingnan King's troops had reached a position far away from Shiye City that was not strong enough!
Looking at the wasteland in front of him, King Pingnan waved his hand, and the army behind him continued to gallop out!
Outside Shiye City, Xia Qingwu was sending people to harass Shiye City. Soon, a soldier from below rushed into her camp.
"General! Reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements?"
Xia Qingwu looked confused.
She surrounded Shiye City for so many days, not even a single ant could escape from it.
As for the villages around Shiye City, he has also slaughtered them all. Who can spread the news and attract reinforcements?
Impossible!
Thinking of this, Xia Qingwu didn't believe it.
"Who is here? It can't be someone sent from the capital, right?"
"General, he is the person sent by the capital! According to observation, it seems to be other forbidden troops from the capital! Now he is less than ten miles away from us!"
The soldier said in an anxious tone.
"What?"
Xia Qingwu didn't expect it at all and made a sound of surprise.
"How do people in the capital know? We probably didn't reveal any information!"
"This... this subordinate can't understand it either."
"But it is undoubtedly the Forbidden Army, and its scale is not small."
The soldier continued to lower his head in response.
"Approximately how many people?"
"Less than 50,000, almost 40,000."
"Could it be that His Majesty personally mobilized so many people?"
Xia Qingwu frowned.
But how did Emperor Qian know about her, and who leaked the news?
Xia Qingwu really couldn't understand this.
But now that the enemy is approaching, she can't allow her to think so much.
The soldier continued to ask: "General, do we want to ambush first? They will be here soon."
Hearing this, Xia Qingwu thought for a moment and shook her head.
"No need for now. Let's see how this army treats us. If they really come to attack us, it won't be too late to fight back."
"But we still need to be on guard. Give me the order and the whole army will line up immediately! I want to see who comes to die this time!"
The voice was very cold. Although Xia Qingwu was surprised that the capital sent people over so quickly, she didn't take it seriously.
She is a general stationed at the border. No matter how powerful the Forbidden Army is, they will never be her opponent!
Thinking of this, Xia Nianqiao arranged her military uniform and walked out of the camp.
And her order was spread to the entire army.
Lin Yiqiu, who was on the tower, soon noticed the movements of the soldiers below, and his face couldn't help but become confused.
"Are these guys planning to assemble the entire army to attack Shiye City?"
Lin Yiqiu guessed in his heart.
Next to him, Cang Hong waved his hand to put all the soldiers below on alert.
Looking at the appearance of Xia Qingwu's troops, it seems that they are really going to fight with all their strength!
But after a while, the expected attack did not appear. Instead, the soldiers lined up facing south! They seemed to be waiting for someone?
Lin Yiqiu seemed to have thought of something when he saw this scene.
Could it be that reinforcements are really coming?
Sure enough, about half an hour later!
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!
Waves of extremely rapid, pounding horseshoes were approaching from a distance.
Then, a dense group of people appeared about a few hundred meters away from Shiye City.
Lin Yiqiu's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately saw an old figure in the distance, and the familiar figure of his daughter next to that figure.
"King Pingnan! And Xia Nianqiao! Sure enough! Your Majesty really knows what happened in Shiye City!"
"It seems that the guard team sent to protect Gu Jinglan and Tang Zhaoyi has lived up to my expectations. They must have returned to the capital as quickly as possible to report this matter to His Majesty!"
With his head turning, Lin Yiqiu instantly figured out the whole story.
And Cang Hong's expression suddenly relaxed a lot.
"In this way, the crisis can finally be alleviated. King Pingnan takes action, which is extraordinary!"
King Pingnan is the real God of War of Qian Kingdom. Although he has resigned, his strength is still unmatched by anyone!
Now that His Majesty has sent him here and mobilized so many forbidden troops, it can be seen that His Majesty is extremely anxious!
Shiye City cannot be lost! Lin Yiqiu cannot die!
At this time, in front of the imperial army, the leader of the army, King Pingnan, saw an army forming up, blocking their way, and his face instantly darkened.
His voice suddenly sounded.
"Princess, I have worked so hard to get here, why don't you come out and see me?"
This sentence is extremely cold! It also carries a faint murderous intention!
Xia Qingwu was still shocked when she saw King Pingnan.
After hearing the words, he hesitated for a few seconds, and finally walked out of the military formation on horseback.
"Uncle Wang, you're fine."
She cupped her hands and said.
King Pingnan snorted coldly.
"Princess, I cannot afford to be called uncle to you!"
"This Shiye City is an important place for the Qian Kingdom, and it is also the first gateway to defend the Northern Qi Dynasty!"
"The eldest princess sent troops to attack Shiye City. Such a treasonous act has made everyone and the gods angry! I am following your majesty's order today! I came here specifically to capture you and bring you back to the capital for your majesty's punishment!"
There was no mercy for Xia Qingwu in her words, and she directly equated this behavior with rebellion!
Xia Qingwu was still worried about why Emperor Qian had sent such a troublesome guy. If she had a head-on fight with King Pingnan now, to be honest, she had no chance of winning.
Her head turned several times quickly, and she suddenly had a plan in mind.
After a while, I heard her say respectfully again: "Uncle Wang, you misunderstood, I don't have any thoughts of rebellion!"
"No? Then what are you doing now?"
King Pingnan continued to shout fiercely.
A cruel look appeared on the corner of Xia Qingwu's mouth, but she hid it very well.
"Uncle Wang, the reason why I did this was because of that dead eunuch Lin Yiqiu! If it weren't for him! How could I attack Shiye City with such force?" This chapter has been completed!
