"Can you tell me what the news is?" Ye Yaoqi put down the tea cup and said calmly.
Both Mo Jingwei and Zi Linglong looked a little unnatural, but Mo Jingwei still kept his composure and said: "It's nothing, it's just ordinary news."
"Ordinary news?" Ye Yaoyao said with a smile: "If it were ordinary news, Aunt Yun wouldn't be so eager to bring it in. She'd rather let me take a guess."
Mo Jingwei forced a smile and said, "Then what do you guess it is?"
Ye Yaoyao said calmly: "Did Ning Guojun lose Gaochun?"
Mo Jingwei's body trembled, and he smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that you really know everything. Did Shang Yi tell you? Can you tell me?"
Ye Yaojiao smiled: "You don't need to trick me, so what if I tell you, actually! My husband has never planned to defend the city wall of Nanjing. Even if you didn't make such a fuss, he would have let the Qing army into Nanjing."
come to the city, and then with a small number of people
The horses were stationed in Nanjing to contain the Qing army, but a large number of troops actually stayed outside Nanjing, looking for opportunities to annihilate the Qing army. Now I understand that your so-called clever plan is of no importance in the eyes of my husband. You want to capture Nanjing.
, is it still far behind?”
This time, Mo Jingwei didn't even have the courage to argue. After being silent for a while, he said, "No matter what, I won't let you leave me this time. I want to take you away."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Zi Linglong immediately said: "No. Yao Yao was brought back by me. Without my consent, no one can take Yao Yao away."
Mo Jingwei suddenly turned his head, glared at Zi Linglong, and said, "Why? You should know my feelings for Yaoyao best, why don't you allow me to take her away?"
Zi Linglong said lightly: "That's enough, Mo Jingwei. Don't think that I don't know why you want to marry Yaoyao? I don't say it because I want you to leave a good impression in her heart. Once I say it, I will
It’s no longer interesting, don’t force me?”
Mo Jingwei stared at Zi Linglong, as if he wanted to spit out flames in his eyes. But Zi Linglong was not afraid at all and looked at him calmly. The two looked at each other for a long time before Mo Jingwei finally said: "Okay, today I
I won’t take Yaoyao with me, but you must take good care of her. If something happens to you, I won’t let you go.” After saying that, he stamped his foot hard, then turned around and left.
After Mo Jingwei left, Ye Yaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that Zi Linglong would protect her, Mo Jingwei was the young master after all. It was of course impossible to say that she was not worried at all. Now she was finally
I felt relieved. So I said sincerely: "Sister Linglong, thank you."
Of course, Zi Linglong could tell that she meant what she said. She glanced at her and said, "You should rest assured now. I brought you here, so I will never hand you over to anyone, let alone
It's Mo Jingwei, and it will be the same even if the master comes."
Ye Yaoyao smiled and said: "After all these years, you haven't changed at all. You are still doing your own thing."
Zi Linglong said: "I have been like this since I was a child. The things I don't want to do, even if Master asks me, are of no use." Then she sighed softly and said: "Actually, if it weren't for the revival of the Holy Sect this time, I wouldn't do it.
I won’t lie to you, if you want to blame me, then just blame me.”
Ye Yaoyao shook her head and said: "Sister Linglong, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. No matter what the outcome of this time is, I won't blame you."
Zi Linglong was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Ye Yaoyao to say this. She smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't understand you. You don't seem to care at all."
Ye Yaoyao smiled slightly and said in a different way: "I know now that there is another reason why Mo Jingwei has been so pleased with me. It seems that you know it. Can you tell me? Don't say what you think.
Want him to leave a good impression on me or something? You should know that I have never had a good impression of him, and I don't care to add more."
Zi Linglong smiled faintly and said: "What can I do if I tell you? You should know that although the leader of the Holy Sect is my master, the first uncle and the second uncle both have a special skill that even my master can't
."
Ye Yaojiao nodded and said: "I know, Grandmaster Ancestor is good at fortune telling, and my grandfather is good at observing the stars and knowing the rise and fall of the world..." Suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Can it be said that Grandmaster Zu approved it for me?
Is the facial image related?”
Zi Linglong was a little surprised and said: "Don't you know it yourself? The second junior uncle knows."
Ye Yaoyao shook her head and said, "Grandpa never told me."
Zi Linglong said: "So you didn't know it all along, so you have to know the reason why Mo Jingwei pleases you."
Ye Yaoyao said: "When you said that, I remembered that when Mo Jingwei started to please me, it was probably after I was twelve years old, and it was when I participated in the face-to-face ceremony. Then I
What is his face like? You should know? Tell me quickly."
Zi Linglong glanced at her and said: "Mortal birds are born in the last days, and when dragons transform, they fly from the branches."
Ye Yaoyao was startled for a moment and said, "That's these two sentences?"
Zi Linglong nodded and said, "That's these two sentences."
Ye Yaoyao suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she was almost out of breath and almost burst into tears. She said, "So that's it. I didn't expect that Mo Jingwei was also dreaming about being an emperor. It really made me laugh to death."
Zi Linglong also smiled and said: "He thinks he is the dragon, what can I do."
Ye Yaoyu stopped laughing and said, "Then why doesn't sister do this favor for him? Haven't you always thought about reviving the Holy Sect? If Mo Jingwei really becomes the emperor, won't you be able to realize your dream?"
Zi Linglong shook her head and asked: "Does Mo Jingwei become the emperor? Does it have anything to do with the revival of the Holy Sect? Besides, the person you married is Shang Yi, not Mo Jingwei."
Ye Yaoyao said: "Sister, don't you think that my husband will become the emperor?"
Zi Linglong said lightly: "How is this impossible? The real emperor and the real dragon emperor are just deceptions. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was just a pavilion chief, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was still a monk. They can all be
Emperor, if this can be considered God’s will, then God’s will has destined that anyone can be the emperor, why can’t Shang Yi?”
Ye Yaoyao smiled and said: "I don't understand which side my sister is on, and why she ended up speaking for my husband."
Zi Linglong smiled and said: "You are such a smart person, can't you understand what I mean? The Manchu Qing Dynasty may not rely on Dezhu. If Shang Yi is willing to help the Holy Sect, I can let you go immediately and do my best.
Use all your strength to help Shang Yi. What do you think of this condition?"
Ye Yaoyao was a little surprised and said, "Will Mo Jingwei and his son agree to this condition?"
Zi Linglong curled her lips and said: "My goal is just to revive the Holy Sect. I don't care if they die. In order to revive the Holy Sect, I can sacrifice everything. This is exactly what Master taught me. I just choose the method that I think is right."
Ye Yaoyao nodded and said: "Sister Linglong, I understand what you mean, but I will never interfere with my husband's affairs, and I will not influence his decision. You understand what I mean."
Zi Linglong pondered for a while and said: "I understand, you have a good rest, I will leave first."
After she turned around and left the house, Ye Yaoyao said in a voice that only she could hear: "Sister Linglong, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your conditions because I just want to completely destroy the Holy Sect."
The news Mo Jingwei received was not wrong. The Qing army did suffer a major defeat on the outside.
On December 30th of last year, Cheng Jin launched an attack on the Qing army from the outside and captured Gaochun County on the same day. In the battle, he killed the Qing army's chief general Jin Shuo, annihilated more than 4,000 enemies, and captured 3,000. Not only
A victory was achieved, and the flank defenses of the Qing army were broken, which could directly threaten the Qing army attacking Nanjing.
After receiving the emergency message from Gaochun County, the Qing army's external commander Jueluo Bahana, who was stationed in Ningguofu, couldn't help being shocked. Of course he knew the importance of Gaochun County, so he did not dare to neglect and immediately led 15,000 troops to set off.
, went to rescue Gaochun County.
Gaochun County is located between Gucheng Lake and Shijiu Lake. It is bordered by water in the north and south. Only the east and west sides can use troops. The merchant army attacked from the east. If it was against other Ming armies, Jueluo Bahana would naturally attack from the east.
Go to the east to rescue, and attack Gaochun's defenders from both inside and outside, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
However, Jueluo Bahana was the only Gushan Ezhen among Azig's men who had participated in the Battle of Jianghuai. He was well aware of the power of Shang's army, and also knew that Shang Yi's troops were unpredictable and unpredictable, so he was good at sieging cities.
to call for reinforcements, so when arriving from Ningguo Mansion
There must be ambushes on the road to Gaochun, so they did not dare to rescue from the east, but instead took the western route. This would only increase the number of Gaochun's defenders, but would not defeat the merchant army. However, against Jieluo Baha
In Na Lailai, it would be great to be able to defend Gaochun.
Unexpectedly, Gaochun had already been lost before Jieluo Bahana arrived. When Cheng Jin learned that the reinforcements sent by the Qing army did not go to the east front, but to the west, he made a decision immediately.
He led his army to attack and faced the Qing army. Although Joluo Bahana knew that Gaochun had been lost, the merchant army had already attacked and did not dare to return. On the first day of the first lunar month, the two sides met on the west bank of Gucheng Lake and started a battle.
Although the merchant army had just captured Gaochun and was a little tired, their morale was very high and their numbers were slightly superior, so it was difficult to kill them. At this moment, the ambush army preparing to ambush the Qing army on the east bank of Gucheng Lake also
After bypassing Gucheng Lake, they came to the battlefield. As a result, the merchant army attacked from both sides and immediately defeated the troops of Joluo Bahana.
At the same time, the 4th Division of the Merchant Army who stayed in Guangde Prefecture also took the opportunity to send troops and captured the empty-defense Ningguo Mansion. After hearing this, Jueluo Bahana had no choice but to lead the defeated army and retreat to Lishui County.
At this point, the flank defense lines of the Qing army were beaten to pieces by the merchant army, and more than 16,000 troops were dismantled. Dangtu, Wuhu, Fanchang, Tongling and other places along the south bank of the Yangtze River near Nanjing were all exposed.
Under the front of the Merchant Army, the number of Juluo Bahana's troops was less than 30,000 at this time. He could only defend Lishui without force, so he had to ask Azig for help.
