The soldiers under Qingfeng laughed at the emperor of Yanjing as a worthless person, making such jokes as soon as he showed up.

However, when the victims rescued by Nangong Yan heard the news, they flocked to their barracks, threatening to go to battle to kill the enemy, and they must not be underestimated by the people of Xichu.

Xue Yu looked at the flood victims, and looked at Nangong Yan in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, this..."

"Open the way, let them come in and sign up. It's a good thing that the people in the west can agree with us." Nan Gongyan was still studying the route of the west city, and he heard the commotion outside early in the morning.

"Yes!"

Xue Yu got the order and went out directly, directing the soldiers outside to arrange for the flood victims to register.

The victims were filled with righteous indignation. They thought that the emperor of Yanjing had abandoned them, but after seeing what they did yesterday, they realized that they had not been abandoned.

As soon as the taunts from the soldiers of Western Chu reached their ears, it aroused their hatred for them. Since they invaded the western border, they have killed, looted, and plundered. It is a pity that they have no power to restrain chickens. Now Now that someone has come to support them, they will naturally unite and stand on the side of Yanjing soldiers.

After studying the road map, it was already night.

Xue Yu came in from the outside and told him to the victims who signed up during the day, "For the victims in the western border, those who can join the combat force have basically registered in the barracks. The old, young, women and children who have no combat effectiveness are also willing to contribute to the army. Among the soldiers, they cook fires and take care of the wounded. According to statistics, there are about 1 people."

Nangong Yan listened carefully, and nodded slightly, "Take care of them. Also, let the soldiers recharge their batteries for the past two days, and let the soldiers practice hard. There is no need to attack and fight back from the city."

Xue Yu froze for a moment, although he didn't understand why he would do this, but as the emperor, he could not control the orders he gave, and he only had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to raise them, so he could only nod in agreement.

After he walked out, Nangong Yan looked at the smoke wafting from the incense burner in front of him, his eyes darkened little by little, the boundary around the city was more complicated than he imagined.When he was in the palace, he had looked at the map several times, but when he came here yesterday, he realized that the real scene was different from the map.

It is conceivable that during the years of Emperor Yan Jing's reign, he had neglected the jurisdiction of the western border. The victims of the disaster in the west did not chat, not only because of the drought, but because of the accumulated grievances accumulated over the years.But they are grateful, yesterday he just asked the soldiers to take out half of the military rations to help the victims, today they spontaneously organized to sign up for the conscription.

Think about it here.There was a place in his heart that softened a little.

Nangong Yan fled in the first battle, and her passive attitude of fighting the battle soon spread back to Yu Qiqi's ears. She kept asking Ah Jian to pay attention to the battle situation in the western border.

When Ah Jian told her the truth, she just drank the tocolytic, but the fetus in her womb still kicked her, she frowned, with a painful expression on her face, "This should be his War strategy." Qingfeng is just a right-hand man of the King of West Chu, how could he be difficult for Nangongyan, she believes in Nangongyan.

"Princess, don't worry, there is good news and bad news." Seeing the pained expression on his face, A Jian said hastily, "All the victims of the disaster in the western border have come to the military camp to sign up for conscription. The manpower will grow."

"He is good at governing the government, but he has just been enthroned and has not done much for the people. If he often visits the people, they will definitely recognize him as a monarch." Yu Qiqi comforted the child in her stomach, letting He should not kick her as a mother.

Look at her peace of mind.A Jian just retreated outside, and as soon as she got out, Chu Peiyu dragged her aside and scolded her, "What are you talking about to the empress, now that she is confinement, if she is stimulated by your words, something will happen. , our guilt is great, the emperor has just left Yanjing City."

A Jian was a little dazed by his scolding, but after thinking about it, what he said was indeed true, so she muttered: "But if I don't say it, the empress will be worried..."

"Next time, just tell the emperor that everything is fine in the western border." Chu Peiyu glanced inside, and told her softly.

"I see."

A Jian rolled her eyes and hurriedly agreed.

......

As soon as Ning Shenyuan heard that the Western Chu people were attacking the western border, after Nangong Yan led the army to go out, he was anxious to return to Yanjing. His family members were all in Yanjing, and now Gu Xia was guarding the city of Yanjing alone. When the county king will attack Yanjing City, he will go back.At least he can help Gu Xia.

Yan Shiqing looked at his anxious look, and thought that Yu Qiqi was alone in the palace. After hesitating again and again, he found Lin Chaoge.

Lin Chaoge brought a cup of ginseng tea to his room. She was wearing a dress made of twisted gold, brocade and silver silk, and her hair was tied up in a bun. She was dressed as a wife should have. Elegant.

Sitting in front of him, she seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say to her, there was no puzzlement on her face, she just stared at him, waiting for her husband to speak.

"Ge'er, I want to go to Yanjing with Brother Ning." He took her hand, put it in his palm, and asked for her opinion.

"Brother Qing is worried about the Seventh Princess, right?" Like him, she called Yu Qiqi the Seventh Princess.

"She is pregnant and alone in the palace. If something happens, maybe I can help." Yan Shiqing didn't hide his intentions. Later, he explained, "But I'm just I want to help her, I don't want to see her in dire straits."

"I understand my husband's intentions. It's just that the person who opposes Yanjing is your grandfather. Will you be in a dilemma if you go?"

Lin Chaoge, you care about what will happen to others, but she cares most about Yan Shiqing.

A look of affection flashed across Yan Shiqing's eyebrows, and he held her hand even tighter, "Since he was able to treat my birth mother like that, he can also be cruel enough to treat me like that, I have long since lost any respect for him. "

In the past, he still cared about some affection for this grandfather whom he only met once, but after knowing what he did, his little affection disappeared long ago.

"That's good, I just want you to come back safely." The implication is that he has already agreed to go to Yanjing City.

"You are waiting for me in Prince Yan's mansion."

Yan Shiqing hugged her into his arms and stroked her arm.Originally, he was afraid that she would not let him go, but he became cautious, and she was used to be the most considerate.

When Ning Shenyuan was about to leave for Yanjing City, he saw Yan Shiqing packed his bags and came out, and looked at him inexplicably, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll go back to Yanjing with you." Yan Shiqing made a hasty decision and didn't have time to tell him.

"What are you kidding? Yanjing is in danger now, and you just got married." Ning Shenyuan reprimanded him a few words, he didn't want to be a sinner.

"My husband has already made up his mind, and I sympathize with him." Lin Chaoge stepped forward and spoke for Yan Shiqing.

"You, you really married a good wife." Ning Shenyuan shook his head helplessly, since Lin Chaoge had already said that, he couldn't say anything more.

He got into the carriage with Yan Shiqing, and the two rushed to Yanjing together.

Lin Chaoge stood where he was, watching the carriage drifting away.

Su Xin said behind her, "Miss, are you not afraid of the resurgence of the old relationship between my uncle and the seventh princess?"

"Where did the old love come back? The Seventh Princess never liked Brother Qing, and besides, she is pregnant now."

A few words from Lin Chaoge dispelled her unreasonable and confused thoughts.

Su Xin scratched her head, showing shame on her face, and followed her into the mansion.

Unfortunately, on the way to Yanjing, their carriage encountered the army of Western Chu. Qing Yu hurriedly stopped the horses driving the carriage and hid behind the mountains.

After the carriage settled down, he whispered: "Master Ning, the army of Xichu is ahead."

Hearing this, Yan Shiqing and Ning Shenyuan hurriedly lifted the curtain, and they really saw the mighty army outside the mountains, heading for Yanjing.

"No, the king of West Chu County has made a move!" Ning Shenyuan's eyebrows tightened, everything was as he expected, as soon as Nangong Yan left Yanjing City, the King of West Chu County would stare at Yanjing City closely.

"Brother Ning, don't worry, we can't mess up at this moment. When they set up camp at night, we will quietly rush back to Yanjing, and tell your uncle the news first, so that they can get ready." Yan Shiqing grabbed his arm , pulling him back.

Ning Shenyuan turned his head, the anxiety on his face was clearly visible. At this moment, there are people from Xichu outside the mountains. If they make any noise, they are very likely to be discovered by them. No matter how anxious he is, it is useless. After thinking about it, He had no choice but to lower his head, and his ancestors agreed to what Yan Shiqing said.

The person who led the Western Chu army was the King of Western Chu County. After Wu Lian rushed to the western boundary of Yanjing, he also left for Yanjing. Now that Nangong Yan was attacking from both sides, he did not believe that he could come back alive from the crack. .

But Nanzhao has Yu Zhengyan, he is not afraid that he will do anything that is not good for Xichu.

When they marched until evening, they set up camp on the road. Qing Yu ran back from the front, and after reporting to them, he led the horses and continued on their way to Yanjing. In front of King Xichu.

As soon as he got rid of the Western Chu army behind him, Qing Yu rode his horse to Yanjing.

When the sky was slightly bright, they returned to Yanjing. The city of Yanjing was still silent, no different from the past, and they did not notice any changes in Xichu.

Shen Feihong, who was ambushing outside Yanjing, frowned when he saw the carriage heading for Yanjing, and then the soldier who chased back from the front replied to him: "Reporting to the general, it is Mr. Ning from the Earl's Mansion and Yan from Nanzhao." The prince has returned from Nanzhao."

Now, he was relieved.

It's just that Yan Shiqing came back with him, which puzzled him. It stands to reason that he shouldn't return to Yanjing City again.But after thinking about it, he might have heard the news that Nangong Yan led the troops to the western border and Yu Qiqi was left alone in the palace, so he rushed over, which made sense.

As soon as he entered the city, Ning Shenyuan went to Gu Xia and told him the news that the king of Xichu County was sending troops to Yanjing City.

Gu Xia didn't look very surprised, but only raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the emperor's prediction was correct, that old fox did something. Don't worry, the emperor has already explained before leaving, your uncle and I are ready. Countermeasure." He patted his chest.

"So the emperor has already expected it?" Ning Shenyuan's face was a little more surprised.

"This is a secret of the imperial court, so don't let it out too much." Gu Xia made a fool of herself, and Nan Gongyan told her that this matter should not be leaked before leaving.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." They didn't close their eyes all night in order to rush back. Now that Gu Xia has a countermeasure, he can go back to rest with peace of mind.

Yan Shiqing was waiting for Ning Shenyuan outside Gu Xia's mansion, seeing him coming out, he hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

Ning Shenyuan got into the carriage on his own, without the anxious look on his face, he just waved his hands, "Uncle has already prepared the countermeasures, you'd better go into the palace to have a look at the empress."

"Um."

In this way, Yan Shiqing didn't ask any more questions. After all, this was a matter between Yanjing and Xichu, and he couldn't get too involved.

The carriage drove all the way to the palace, and when halfway there, Ning Shenyuan returned to his earl's mansion first, while Yan Shiqing went to the palace alone.

When Ah Jian saw him, she almost cried out in a scream, but now that she saw someone she could catch, she felt more at ease.He hurriedly took Yan Shiqing to Fengluan Palace.

"Princess, look who is here?!"

She ran into the bedroom and played charades with her with a smile on her face.

Every day, besides going to the garden to relax, Yu Qiqi would lean on the soft cushions, watch operas and tell the stories in the operas to the child in her belly.

"Who's here?"

She looked at A Jian in confusion.

A Jian smiled, and pulled Yan Shiqing in front of her, "The prince is here!" After pouring Yan Shiqing a cup of tea, she hurried out.

Chu Peiyu looked inside worriedly, "He won't do anything unfavorable to the Empress, will he?"

After all, he has already married, who knows if he treats Yu Qiqi as before, if he has the intention of revenge, it will be bad.

"Oh, what are you thinking? How could the crown prince treat the princess like that! You are taking care of the gentleman's belly!"

She has been in Yanjing for so long, and she can only remember this sentence.

"All right, all right, I'll save a gentleman's belly, I'll guard here, go and do whatever you like." He crossed his hands in front of him and ignored her.

Zhao Niang shook her head helplessly.Ever since Chu Peiyu stayed by Yu Qiqi's side, the number of times he quarreled with Ah Jian really increased, and even he, who had always been taciturn, also talked more.

Sometimes she couldn't intervene if she wanted to, so she could only let the two of them quarrel, as long as they didn't quarrel with Yu Qiqi in the palace.

"Brother Qing, how could you come back to Yanjing at this time?" Yu Qiqi was different from A Jian, she didn't expect this level, she just felt that she was happy that Yan Shiqing could appear in front of Yu Qiqi.

"I just came back knowing that at times like this, there is no one around you who can protect you." Yan Shiqing sat down in front of her, eyes full of tenderness.

"A Jian and Chu Peiyu are here."

She glanced at the two bickering outside.

"Besides, you're already married." After a pause, she reminded him in a low voice.

A look of embarrassment flashed in Yan Shiqing's eyes, "I know that I have become a relative, so I shouldn't put too much thought on you, but don't worry, I'm just worried about your safety. After this period is over, I will return to Nanzhao."

"Then, sister-in-law, she..." Knowing that she couldn't hold him back, she had no choice but to ask Lin Chaoge what he meant.

"She has promised me to come." A trace of azure flashed across his handsome face.

In this way, Yu Qiqi was relieved, otherwise she would be a sinner.

Yan Shiqing's eyes fell on her script, and there was a tenderness in his brows, "I didn't expect time to pass so fast, you are already more than six months pregnant."

"Yeah, I'm going to give birth in two months. I hope the emperor will be back by then." Yu Qiqi took up his words, but when Nangong Yan was mentioned, the light in her eyes became brighter. It's completely different from the one who was at odds with Nangong Yan before.

"The battle on the western border, I don't think it will take that long. He will definitely come back before you give birth." Yan Shiqing was also happy for her, and only hoped that Nangong Yan would not spend too long on the battle on the western border. .

When Zhaoniang walked into the bedroom again, Yu Qiqi had already rested, and Yan Shiqing turned around, booing her.

She understands.Backed out again.

The place Ah Jian arranged for Yan Shiqing to stay was the Yunshui Pavilion where Yu Zhengyan lived before.

"When our fifth prince came to see the princess, he lived here." She raised her eyebrows and said happily.

After everything was sorted out, Ah Jian left.

Yan Shiqing walked to the edge of the bed, and when he stretched out his hand to touch the edge of the bed, his fingertips touched something, like a small porcelain bottle.

He frowned, looked down, and saw a small white porcelain bottle stuffed in the crevice of the bed, as if it had been left behind.

He stretched out his hand, and after a lot of effort, he took out the small porcelain bottle.

As soon as he opened the bottle, a strong and pungent smell came out. He coughed twice, and hastily closed the bottle again.

Hearing the sound of coughing, Qing Yu rushed in, "My lord, what's wrong?" He looked at him nervously.

He shook his head, and raised the small porcelain bottle in his hand to him, "This one should be left behind by the fifth prince. I smelled it, and it looked like poison."

Hearing this, Qing Yu's expression immediately tightened, "Poison?!"

Yan Shiqing calmed down and nodded, "However, I don't know who he used it on." He turned the small porcelain bottle upside down, only to find that the word Chu was impressively written on the bottom of the bottle.

His expression immediately changed. In this way, Yu Zhengyan was most likely in collusion with the West Chu people.

"Well, do you want to tell Princess Seven?" Qing Yu's attention was still on the bottle of poison that popped out suddenly.

Yan Shiqing shook his head, "No! The fifth prince is her own brother, if you tell her, she will inevitably think too much."

He put the small porcelain bottle back on the edge of the bed, his eyes dimmed.

No wonder Yu Zhengyan would suddenly come to Yanjing to see Yu Qiqi at that time, it turned out that he had colluded with the Western Chu people...

Thinking of this, he thought of Shen Feihong who passed away not long ago. At that time, it was rumored that he was poisoned by people from Western Chu in Mingyufang.Yu Zhengyan was still in Yanjing City.

In this way, it will match up!

But, how could he be so careless and leave the poison in Yunshui Pavilion?

After thinking about it, Yan Shiqing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a reason, so he could only put it aside.

As soon as the king of Xichu County went outside Yanjing City, he was ambushed by the [-] army led by Shen Feihong. Seeing Shen Feihong standing in front of him safe and sound, he was stunned.

"Young King of Western Chu, how are you doing recently?"

Shen Feihong sat on the red horse, with sharp eyes, tightly holding the rein in his hand.

In the thick smoke, he sneered, "So you're not dead?" The funeral that Nangong Yan held for him was too beautiful to hide from everyone's eyes.

He thought of the scene when Yu Zhengyan met him when he returned to Nanzhao, and a burst of anger arose in his heart.It turned out that he was helping Nangong Yan to act with him!

"Thanks to you, I have a big life. I can't die if I fall into your hands several times." Shen Feihong shrugged needlessly, with sarcasm in his words.

"Nangong Yan expected that I would attack Yanjing City?" Seeing the Yanjing army surrounding them and the officers and soldiers at the city gate not far away, the King of West Chu narrowed his eyes.

"Naturally, the emperor has a countermeasure, so he will lead the army. His trick is to lure the enemy into deep. Unfortunately, you fell for it."

Shen Feihong waited for him here for two full days before he fell into the trap he had set up himself, so he naturally wanted to be proud first.

"This king will actually fall into his trick." He lowered his head and snorted unwillingly.However, thinking of Wu Lian who he sent out quietly, the anger in his heart disappeared halfway. Anyway, he was attacking from both sides, so he might not have a chance of winning.

The gate of Yanjing City was lined up with archers that Gu Xia had prepared in advance, and reinforcements from the city also rushed out, vowing to wipe out the king of Xichu County.

However, he still had some reservations, and only sent [-] reinforcements to assist Shen Feihong, and he wanted to reserve troops to guard Yanjing City.

The king of Xichu County glanced at the army in Shen Feihong's hand and the army photographed by Gu Xia, even if they were ambushed just now.It is more than enough to deal with these people.

The two armies confronted each other, and both sides were at war, but no one attacked first.The king of Xichu County had a nonchalant expression, "Uncle Guo, you should think about it. Now you fight with me, and you won't get any benefit."

"Hmph! Is it possible that I can take advantage of your reinforcements?!" Shen Feihong felt ridiculous. At this moment, only preemptive strikes are the most important thing.

He clenched the rein in his hand, drew out his long sword, and roared, "Come on!"

In an instant, the [-] army behind him rushed towards the army of the King of West Chu. The scene was shocking and the sound was deafening. The people in the entire Yanjing City knew that there was a fight outside!

On the long street, there was chaos.

Ning Shenyuan heard the noise and ran to the city gate. Gu Xia was still guarding the city gate, observing the situation outside. If Shen Feihong was in trouble, he had to order the soldiers to open the city gate as soon as possible to rescue them!

"Uncle, how is it?"

Ning Shenyuan ran to his side, the wind on the city gate blew his white shirt and blue sleeves, and his face was full of anxiety.

Gu Xia clicked his tongue and reprimanded him, "Oh, what are you doing here?!" He is just a literati, he doesn't know how to wield swords, and coming here will only cause trouble!

"Don't worry, I won't trouble you!"

As he spoke, he took off the sharp arrow behind his back, put it on the bow and arrow, and shot at the Western Chu army outside, every shot was accurate.

Gu Xia was dumbfounded, "When did you learn archery?"

"Brother Shiqing taught me." He didn't make friends with Yan Shiqing for nothing, he promised him to teach him bow and arrow, his arrows are good, and Ning Shenyuan also learned from him.

"That's fine, uncle will let you stay here."

Gu Xia glanced at him with relief, now he also knows how to protect his family and the country, he was always reluctant to let him enter the court as an official, but this time it seems to be a different person.

Looking at the Yanjing army rushing towards them, the eyes of King Xichu were as red as bloodthirsty, and the long whip in his hand had not seen blood for a long time.

Immediately, with a wave of the long whip, the Yanjing Army who rushed towards him fell to the ground in a large piece, and a bloodstain appeared on his neck.

Shen Feihong stared dumbfounded at the soldiers lying on the ground, howling in pain, his long whip was poisoned, "You really have such a cruel heart!"

People who are poisoned will not die immediately, but will fall to the ground and howl in pain, and die three hours later.Their wailing will cause panic to the Yanjing soldiers rushing to kill the enemy.

Shen Feihong, who was still killing the enemy just now, withdrew the long sword in his hand, and galloped towards him. His long whip was still waving forward. The long whip swiped away, but unfortunately, he only wiped it once, and a burst of sparks burst out, which did not cut off his long whip.

Surrounding him, there were wailing soldiers, all of them with distorted faces, all clutching their necks, their pain was terrifying.

"Is Uncle Guo still satisfied with this gift?"

After he finished speaking, he narrowed his long and narrow eyes, swung the long whip in his hand backhand, and all the soldiers who attacked him behind him fell to the ground.

Shen Feihong gritted his teeth, "Scumbag!" Several clearly visible veins appeared on his forehead.Once again, he swung his sword and slashed at his long whip.

The king of Xichu County held the reins of his fierce horse tightly, and rode the horse to meet the enemy, but the long whip did not swing at Shen Feihong. He bent down, and the whip hit his red fierce horse. He fell down from the horse's back, but when he touched the ground, he supported himself on the ground with his sword, so he didn't fall too embarrassingly.

"So what? I'm the one who wins now!"

He raised his eyebrows, and at this moment, the long whip in his hand swung towards him.

Shen Feihong sabotaged his plan several times, and he wished he could tear him apart. At this time, the tricks he used were fatal, and he couldn't dodge them in time, so he could only be forced to retreat steadily.

Ning Shenyuan looked at the figure in the silver armor, aimed the sharp arrow in his hand at the hand that was hitting Shen Feihong, and shot a sharp arrow. Feeling the cold wind blowing by his ears, King Xichu could only move The outstretched hand is retracted.

The sharp arrow shot by Ning Shenyuan fell straight to the ground.

Shen Feihong found his flaw, and immediately swung his sword forward, cutting off his long whip with one sword.

The long whip in his hand was chopped off, completely enraged King Xichu, he threw down half of the whip in his hand, grabbed the sword of a soldier beside him, and rode his horse towards him.

His sword came so fast that Shen Feihong couldn't dodge it, and a bloodstain was drawn on his back shoulder, which was very eye-catching, "Where are you going to escape this time?!" King Xichu roared angrily behind him.

"No, Uncle Guo is in trouble!"

Gu Xia's hand gripping the city wall tightened, his thick eyebrows and big eyes filled with worry.

"Uncle, I can protect you here!" Ning Shenyuan also had a worried expression on his face, wanting Gu Xia to rescue him.

"No, I can't leave here!" This is his duty, if the Western Chu army cheats, the whole city of Yanjing will be in trouble!

When the two of them were in trouble, the gate of the city was opened, and a figure rode his horse into the chaotic enemy army. It was Yan Shiqing!

"Brother Shiqing!"

Ning Shenyuan opened his eyes wide, watching him rushing into the fight single-handedly, the yellow dust rolled up by the horse's hooves covered his sight, he still held up the bow and arrow in his hand to cover him.

As soon as there was a fight outside the city, Qing Yu ran up to him, saying that the army brought by King Xichu had already attacked outside the city, and the city was in chaos.

After hesitating again and again, Yan Shiqing left the palace, found a high place in the city, and kept an eye on the battle situation outside the city. When he saw Ning Shenyuan and Gu Xia arguing at the city gate, he knew it was because of Shen Feihong.

Holding the token that Ning Shenyuan had been captured before, he asked the guards under the city gate to open the city gate, and rode out on horseback.

The king of Xichu County did not expect that Yan Shiqing would suddenly appear behind him. When the sword in his hand was about to stab Shen Feihong's heart, his wrist was suddenly slashed by the sword, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

He frowned, blood was bleeding from his wrist, he hurriedly turned back, and saw a bit of Concubine Yi's appearance. "It's you?!"

He glared at Yan Shiqing viciously.

"Uncle Guo!"

Yan Shiqing rode his horse and chased after Shen Feihong, stretched out his hand, and pulled him from the ground onto the horse's back.

"I'm sorry, Prince of the County." He said hastily, and rushed to Yanjing City with Shen Feihong, who was seriously injured.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that Shen Feihong was rescued by Yan Shiqing, and their casualties were somewhat heavy, the King of West Chu County yelled.The sound of fighting outside the city slowly subsided.

This stop was considered a tie, and Yanjing's casualties were not small.

Gu Xia ordered the city gate to be opened, and went outside the city to treat the wounded soldiers and clean up the corpses on the ground. Outside the city gate, there was a mess, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was everywhere.

Yan Shiqing took Shen Feihong back to the palace, Chu Peiyu got the news and rushed over immediately, Shen Feihong was lying on the soft couch in Yunshui Pavilion, Qing Yu called the imperial doctor to clean his wound.

The king of Xichu County was very serious. He had several sword wounds on his back and several places on his front, and he almost stabbed him at his famous family.

His back was soaked with blood and sweat.

However, the person's consciousness was still clear, he looked at Yan Shiqing, and thanked him, "Thank you for saving my life, my son." The breath was weak, but it was sincere.

Yan Shiqing raised the corners of his lips towards him, his clothes were still stained with his blood.

"Uncle Guo!"

Chu Peiyu ran over.

"Don't worry, I won't die yet." He looked at him with a smile.Chu Peiyu was stunned for a moment, feeling ashamed in his heart, his eyes dodged for a moment.

"Oh, how did you get into such a bloody look?" Hearing the sound, Liu Moinian also rushed over.His body was about to fall apart when he heard the news and hurried over.

"Why? Afraid that I will take a step first, you old man is lonely?" He was lying on the soft couch, joking at him.

"You won't be able to stop your mouth even if you're injured!" Liu Mo Nian scolded him coldly.

The imperial doctor touched his wound and made him gasp, so he obediently shut his mouth.

......

Fighting outside Yanjing City was in full swing, but there was no movement at the western border.Seeing that the soldiers of Yanjing had no intention of taking the city, the victims who came to sign up did not dare to think too much about it, and just listened to Xue Yu's dispatch calmly.

Nangong Yan said to recharge his energy, but he didn't really recharge his energy. He knew that Qingfeng was different from Chi Ying. He was rigorous in his work and careful everywhere. Even if Nangong Yan released such a smoke bomb, he did not relax. , still sent people to watch his movements.

After resting in the tent for a few days, Xue Yu would go in and ask him when he would send troops to the city again for the first day or two, but he dismissed them all by saying "wait a minute".

In the next few days, he had to obediently drill the soldiers outside, and stopped going in to bother him.

Nangong Yan also kept an eye on Qingfeng's movements, maybe after waiting for several days without seeing anything, the people he sent to watch Nangong Yan began to slack off.

Taking advantage of his slack eyeliner, Nangong Yan called a soldier in, changed into his clothes, left the barracks, and went to the edge of the city.

Below the entire city are Xichu's troops, only a few sand dunes can cover his figure, the night is very dark, and there are few stars appearing at night on the western border. They are all lit by torches, Nangong Yan back and forth behind the sand dunes After changing his shadow, he dived under the city.

It wasn't long before Qingfeng snatched the city, and the surrounding area was well repaired. He walked around and found an entrance leading to the city, which was specially used by them for emergency.Although the surrounding area is full of Xichu troops, there is no one guarding the entrance.

He slowly raised the corners of his lips, it seemed that this Qingfeng was really scheming.If he hadn't come over quietly to inquire, he probably wouldn't have noticed that there was an entrance in this unguarded place on weekdays.

He walked along the entrance and walked inside, and after about a cup of tea, he walked inside.It was dark inside, and nothing could be seen.

Nangong Yan took out the fire folder that he had brought in advance, lit it up, and walked in along the entrance, it turned out to be a granary!Apparently, this is the entrance they used to escape!

A sly look flashed across his cold eyes.

After that, he threw the torch in his hand on the granary, and hurriedly escaped from the entrance, and ran back to the barracks under the cover of the sand dunes.

The Western Chu army sent to stare at him has already finished work. When they returned, they saw the chaos below your city, and only heard a few shouts, "The granary is on fire! The granary is on fire!"

Qingfeng ran outside the granary, grabbed a soldier, grabbed his skirt and asked angrily, "It's all right, why did the granary catch fire?!"

"General Qingfeng, my subordinates, I don't know if my subordinates... No one saw how the granary caught fire..." The soldier who was caught by him returned tremblingly.

Just at this time, he saw the two soldiers who were staring at Nangong Yan come back, and immediately yelled at them, "Where is Nangong Yan?!"

"Reporting to the general, he has been staying in the tent and has never left the tent." They did not see Nangong Yan go out.

"waste!"

He shouted.

Although it is not certain whether Nangong Yan sent someone to set the fire, but now their granary is being burned, they can only send an urgent letter to Xichu to let them bring the army rations, otherwise they will not survive for a few days.

On the second day, Nangong Yan rarely called Xue Yu into the camp. He had already put on his armor and held a sword in his hand, "Call the soldiers to gather and attack the city!"

He gave this order suddenly, Xue Yu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" After that, he ran out and asked the recruited soldiers to gather the small soldiers to blow the horn.

For a while, the barracks was full of soldiers, and Nangong Yan led an army of [-] to attack the city.

Qingfeng blocked the news of the burning of the granary, but he didn't expect that Nangong Yan would attack so quickly. As soon as they came, they attacked the city gate.

The Western Chu army guarding under the city was unable to respond in time. The two sides did not fight for a long time, and more than half of the soldiers guarding below had fallen.

After a stick of incense passed, the situation changed. The Yanjing soldiers' offensive power was very fierce, but the Western Chu army's defensive power was very weak.

Anxiety appeared on Qingfeng's face.

He frowned, and personally led an army of [-] to meet the enemy.

Nangong Yan didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. As soon as he saw him appear, he immediately moved forward with a sword, and approached his life gate. He was completely different from the Nangong Yan who appeared in front of him for the first time!

The cold sword air scraped across his throat, making him feel a chill on his neck.

Fortunately, he escaped in time.

"Your majesty, you hide really deeply." Qingfeng curled his lips into a smile, and a smile appeared on his cold face, which made people feel strange.

"My trick is called blindfolding." Nangong Yan stared at him coldly, there was no smile on his face, only a decisive majesty.

"Well then, I will meet you well!"

Qingfeng was very excited when he finally met someone who was a match for chess, but unfortunately, after a few moves, he knew that he was not Nangongyan's opponent. He could delay the time, but he was afraid that he would lose in the end.

In order to take the overall situation into consideration, he frowned and decided not to entangle with him anymore. When he was about to escape, he was blocked by the cold air from Nangong Yan, "Since we are here, it is not so easy to leave!"

The sword in his hand swung backhand and cut at his Adam's apple.Qingfeng's scalp went numb for a while, and just when he couldn't dodge in time, a soft sword blocked the long sword that Nangong Yan was stabbing at, drawing a flame, piercing the eyes of the three of them, and they all backed away step.

As soon as the soft sword was retracted, it attacked Nangong Yan at a very fast speed.

"you again!"

Nangong Yan was furious, the person who came was Wu Lian, she could control the soft sword in her hand freely, like a poisonous snake that entangled people, she couldn't get rid of it no matter what, and he had already used [-]% of his sword when he was fighting with Qingfeng just now. With internal strength, facing Wu Lian's vicious attack at this moment, he could barely cope with it.

Qingfeng's hands were still cold, if Wu Lian hadn't rescued him in time, he would have died already.

"His life is mine!"

With a hoarse voice, Wu Lian yelled at him.

Nangong Yan closed her eyes, snorted coldly, stopped entangled with her, and shouted loudly: "Get out!"
