The Favoured Medical Princess: 592 Standing Slash
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Nangong Yue and Han Qixia looked at Sun Xinyi quietly. No one wanted to reprimand or refute her.
Sun Xinyi is just trying to save others by himself. How could she know what had happened to others? How could she know that Nangong Yue and Han Qixia had also encountered life-threatening crises time and time again, but their choices were different.
Sun Xinyi is the daughter of Sun Shoubei, and she must have been studying for several years since she was a child. The Sun family is full of loyal people, and they must have taught her what etiquette, justice, shame, filial piety, and loyalty are. She understands everything she needs to understand, but it is a pity that she has a lot of mental skills. Unrighteous, selfish, and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her own selfish goals. What is the difference between her and those wild beasts in the mountains and forests?
How can people reason with beasts? !
Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds. Even Xiao Hui knew how to save the young eagle Han Yu who had fallen into the nest, but Sun Xinyi was willing to kill his own nephew just to survive. What could he say to such a person? ! What else is there to say!
Talking to her about righteousness will make her feel stupid.
It's just a matter of words without speculation. This is the case with them and Sun Xinyi.
At this moment, the front door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and the "squeaking" sound of the door opening attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a few people standing outside the door. The leader was Guan Yubai, who was wearing a moon-white robe. Walking alongside him was a man in black with long hair tied back casually and loosely, with a handsome face. Smiling carelessly, it was Guan Yubai's good friend Si Lin. Behind the two people, there were several people, men and women.
"Hou...Master Hou!"
Sun Xinyi blurted out in surprise. When the prince went to war, An Yihou's attempt to seize power had already caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers in the army. Sun Xinyi often went to the wounded barracks, and many elders in the army did not regard her as Outsiders have inevitably heard about it. She always thought that Nangong Yue, as the crown prince, would be wary of An Yihou, but she didn't expect that Nangong Yue would also tell An Yihou about her affairs. What on earth was Nangong Yue thinking?
Sun Xinyi was a little confused for a moment.
Following, Sun Xinyi noticed two young women behind Guan Yubai. They were dressed like a master and a servant. The young lady had a dignified peony bun. She had fair skin, beautiful appearance, and was wearing She wore a rose-red braid with tangled branches. She looked elegant and elegant. She didn’t know which family she belonged to... Sun Xinyi was sure that she had never seen this person before, but for some reason, she felt that the other person’s dress and temperament looked familiar.
Wait a minute!
Sun Xinyi thought of something and glanced at Nangong Yue again. She seemed to have vaguely guessed something in her heart, but then it suddenly disappeared.
Guan Yubai's eyes only stopped on Sun Xinyi for a moment, and then moved away.
Nangong Yue and Han Qixia may lament Sun Xinyi's behavior, but for Guan Yubai, who has been on the battlefield for many years, he has long seen countless human natures that have been tested in the face of war and death. When faced with the choice between life and death, kind people will instantly give in and even turn into evil spirits. Sun Xinyi is just one of them.
Without saying anything to Sun Xinyi, he made a gesture, and Feng Xing and a middle-aged woman came to her. Feng Xing said with a smile: "Miss Sun, please."
The reason why they had discovered that Sun Xinyi was weird a long time ago but never revealed it was because she was still useful. But now, Sun Xinyi's part of the drama has come to an end, and it's time for her to end too. Sun Xinyi's crime is unforgivable, but now that Nanliang is under pressure, a little Sun Xinyi cannot be compared with the millions of people in southern Xinjiang. It will not be her turn until this war comes.
Sun Xinyi took a deep breath and wanted to ask what the other party planned to do to her, but when the words came to her lips, she felt extremely ridiculous. What else? The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Thinking about it again, everything in the past six months has seemed like a dream. In the end, Sun Peiling's life was only exchanged for this short six months of survival...
Sun Xinyi and her maid Caiwei were taken out of the house and then "respectfully sent" to a carriage.
The moment she got in the car, Sun Xinyi couldn't help but glance in the direction of the house again, and saw the man in black who was standing next to Guan Yubai looking towards the Nanliang spy who had fallen to the ground lifelessly. Go...
What does An Yihou want to do?
She lowered her eyes and paused for a moment. What does this have to do with her? She couldn't escape death after all.
She cleared her mind and got on the carriage with a dull expression.
The carriage drove away slowly, but no one in the house cared about Sun Xinyi anymore...
Time passed little by little, the sun rose higher and higher, and both sides of the gate of Yanding City were covered in darkness.
Outside the city, tens of thousands of Nanliang troops wearing bronze helmets and iron armor are less than a mile away from Yanding City. From the city wall, all you can see are densely packed and swarming heads, like locusts passing through, filled with There was a chilling atmosphere, which made people feel as if a small mountain was weighing on their hearts just by looking at it from such a distance.
?"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."
With the sound of neat and heavy steps, the Nanliang army got closer and closer.
Unprecedented tension hangs over the city wall. Every soldier of the Southern Xinjiang Army has a cold face, like a sword shining with cold light, showing an aura of murderous intent. At this moment, all the soldiers Their moods were the same, they vowed to defend Yanding City to the death, with the determination to bury the bones on the battlefield.
Just above the city gate, General Zheng, Su Yuming, Li Shoubei, Fu Yunhe, Yu Xingrui and other generals have arrived. Several young generals looked outside the city for a while, and then looked at the city again, seeming to be watching. Looking for something.
Looking at the approaching Nanliang army, Yu Xingrui said solemnly: "There should be 20,000 people here, right?" But now there are only 5,000 guards in the city, how can we fight against the 20,000 Nanliang army? ? ...Also, the Nanliang army is attacking. The Youyou Battalion, Xianden Battalion and Xuanfeng Battalion stationed on the outskirts of Yanding City for defense have nearly 5,000 troops. Why is there no sound at all? Could it be that something unexpected happened to them...
Those are five thousand elites!
Yu Xingrui frowned deeply, and he looked at Si Minghua beside him. The more he thought about it, the more he became frightened and anxious.
Si Minghua gave Yu Xingrui a comforting look, signaling him not to act impulsively.
After enduring it and enduring it, the fiery-tempered Yu Xingrui still couldn't help but said to Li Shoubei: "Master Li, why doesn't the Marquis come?!"
The young generals' faces were as dark as water. It was obvious that they all had the same idea. Now that the Crown Prince is not in the city, he has entrusted the affairs of the three cities to An Yihou Guan Yubai. However, now that the Nanliang army is approaching the city, Yanding City is in danger. As the highest general in the city, where is An Yihou? !
He... couldn't have escaped from the battlefield, right?
Yu Xingrui couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, and almost wanted to blurt it out. Thinking of how he almost caused a "mutiny" in the military camp due to the instigation of the Nanliang spy, he still clenched his fists and suppressed it.
But no matter what, the battle is about to begin, but the coach is nowhere to be found, which is really a taboo in the army!
Li Shoubei also looked solemn, with some cold sweat on his forehead. He exchanged glances with Zheng Shenjiang and others, and said in a soothing tone: "Don't be impatient, I have already sent someone to inform the Marquis. The Marquis is very worried." Coming soon."
Before he finished speaking, Si Minghua pointed to Shunde Street behind the city gate and raised his voice slightly excitedly: "Hou An Yi is here!"
For a moment, all the generals on the city wall followed the sound and saw several tall horses and a carriage galloping towards this side on the street dozens of feet away. The one riding in the front The gentle man on the white horse is Guanyu Bai.
Yu Xingrui and other young generals breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to be late than never, and it would be nice if Guanyu came in vain.
After a while, Guan Yubai climbed onto the city wall with bamboos one after another.
"Master Hou!" All the generals clasped their fists in front of Guan Yubai and performed a military salute, and the atmosphere on the city wall was awe-inspiring.
After Guan Yubai signaled them to refrain from courtesy, Zheng Shenjiang solemnly cupped his fists and said: "Master Marquis, take..."
"Whoosh——"
Before General Zheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by an unusual sound from behind. A firework in the city soared into the sky like a shooting star. In an instant, it shot straight into the sky and bloomed in the sky, like It was a giant blooming flower that suddenly attracted everyone's attention, not only the Nanjiang army in the city, but also the Nanliang army outside the city.
The fireworks were like a signal. Almost in the next moment, thick black smoke rose one after another in all directions of Yanding City, east of the city, south of the city, west of the city, north of the city... like huge black dragons. You can faintly see some red firelight...
Everyone's expressions became even uglier. I don't know who said: "Master Hou, someone must have set the fire!"
As if to verify his words, the city soon became commotion, and people could faintly be heard shouting in panic: "The water is leaking, go put out the fire quickly!"
Once a wooden house is ignited, and with the help of the howling cold wind, the fire spreads very quickly, and it soon burst into flames...
Some nearby people saw it and hurriedly shouted to put out the fire. They can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but they can at least do some things within their capabilities.
The sound of shouting, running, splashing water... is endless.
In just a blink of an eye, the originally peaceful and peaceful Yanding City was filled with smoke, and people were panicking!
The generals on the city wall looked down at the chaotic Yanding City, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.
"Damn it!" Yu Xingrui clenched his fists and said, "There must be Nanliang spies lurking in the city. They took the opportunity to set fire to cause chaos and try to disrupt the morale of our army!" As he spoke, his eyes were red with anger, and he spoke to Guanyu Bai Baoquan asked for orders, "Master Marquis, please allow me to lead a team of troops to put out the fire and capture the Nanliang spies!"
Before Guan Yubai could speak, another young general vetoed rationally: "Master Marquis, I think this is inappropriate. Now there are 20,000 troops in Nanliang pressing down on the border, and there are only 5,000 troops in the city. We must guard the city gate. It is already very difficult, how can we allocate troops to put out the fire? Nowadays, ten houses in the city are empty, even if some houses are burned down, it is not a problem... It is better to let the people in the city put out the fire on their own!"
This is actually not unreasonable. Several soldiers around were whispering to each other.
Yu Xingrui was quiet for a while, but he always felt something was wrong. He was about to say more, but Si Minghua pulled his sleeves and gave him a wink to stop him.
Guan Yubai looked at the thickening black smoke everywhere in the city, pursed his thin lips into a straight line, and said slowly: "There are spies from Nanliang in the city. We must send people to put out the fire to calm the people." He His voice was like gold and jade colliding, with a bit of fierceness, "To defend the city, we must not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also the morale of the people."
The few words he said made everyone think deeply.
Yes, if the fire is allowed to spread and those Nanliang spies hiding in the dark continue to fan the flames in the city, it will make the people in the city panic and unstable.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
Guan Yubai looked at Yu Xingrui and Si Minghua, and ordered with a solemn expression: "Yu Xingrui, Si Minghua, I will order you two to bring fifty men each to put out the fire in the city. If you find anyone acting suspiciously, call them directly. Take it!"
"Yes." Yu Xingrui and Si Minghua clapped their fists and shouted together, and walked down the stone steps one after another down the city wall...
"Master Hou!"
At this time, Su Yuming shouted nervously: "The people of Nanliang have begun to prepare their troops."
Everyone hurriedly looked outside the city gate. The Nanliang army had stopped sixty or seventy feet away from the Yanding city gate. One by one, the Nanliang soldiers began to drive crossbow carts and a Set up a sling...
It seems that they are planning to attack the city!
Although An Yihou once had a sand table deduction on how to defend Yanding City, the premise of that time was that they knew that the Nanliang army was approaching two hours in advance, and there was enough time for An Yihou to make arrangements, and This time, not even half an hour was left for them.
With five thousand men actually fighting against twenty thousand enemy troops, there is no chance of winning this battle no matter how hard you think about it.
What's more, there is no news from the prince Xiao Yi who led the army, or in other words, his life or death is uncertain...
The soldiers on the city wall watched every move of the Nanliang army without blinking. The atmosphere around them became more and more solemn and depressing. Both the soldiers and many soldiers in the army had a vague feeling in their hearts. A trace of despair, fear that the nightmare of the city’s destruction six months ago would happen again!
"Xiao Si, let them bring the people up."
In the silence, Guan Yubai gave a faint order, which made all the soldiers' eyes focus on Xiao Si.
Xiao Si gestured to the two men under the city wall, and the two men guarding the carriage escorted an unkempt man from the carriage. After a while, the man was pushed and escorted up the city wall.
This man is tall and strong, with greasy hair hanging down in a mess, and his face is covered with fine stubble. He looks unkempt, but it cannot hide his profound eyebrows and handsome features.
This is...
All the soldiers' pupils shrank, they all knew this person——
Langma, the Nine Kings of Southern Liang.
So, An Yihou arrived late just now. Did he just go to **** the Nine Kings?
The envoys of Nanliang once put down their bold words and marched to the city if they did not return the Nine Kings. Now, the Nanliang army has indeed arrived at the city. Could it be that An Yihou wants to defy the wishes of the prince and compromise?
Several generals looked at each other and speculated secretly.
Langma slowly walked up the city wall, then noticed the tense situation outside the city, and was delighted: Great! Their Nanliang army finally arrived, and now I was saved!
Ever since he failed to kidnap the woman, he was imprisoned in the death row by the Southern Xinjiang Army. Unknowingly, it has been more than half a month. There is no light in the death row. He can only judge the current situation by relying on two meals a day. A few days passed...
Langma once thought that his days as a coolie were the biggest insult Xiao Yi had ever done to him. After being imprisoned on death row, he realized that darkness, loneliness, not knowing the years, not knowing the future... that was the biggest thing. Torture!
Now, the dawn of hope finally appears ahead!
Prince Zhennan, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army and the people in Yanding City, if they want to save their lives, they must beg him!
Langma's mind couldn't help but recall the shameful scene a few months ago, when Xiao Yi ordered people to attack Yanding City, but shamelessly used himself as a hostage in front of the battle, causing Ai Li, who was stationed in Yanding City, to General Da was helpless and was forced to defend rather than attack... Finally, Xiao Yi was given a chance to capture Yanding City.
However, now the situation has completely turned around.
It's their turn for the Nanliang Army to make a comeback!
Thinking about it, Langma couldn't hide the look of pride on his face. He raised his eyes and scanned the soldiers on the city wall, but found that Xiao Yi was not here. At this moment, the generals on the city wall were vaguely headed by a gentle and elegant strange man. This young man seemed to be only in his twenties, and he looked like a scholar in appearance and temperament.
Among the generals, he is the only one without armor. At first glance, he seems to stand out from the crowd, but upon closer inspection, his temperament is not out of place among the generals, as if he was born to belong to the battlefield. !
Lang Ma frowned and thought: Who is this person?
Of course it is not an ordinary person who can command the generals in the Southern Xinjiang army, but before he came to Southern Xinjiang, he had conducted a detailed investigation of the famous generals in Southern Xinjiang. Among the younger generation, except Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan , there should be no young general whose rank and prestige are high enough for the veterans to respect him...
In other words, these veterans have to obey?
So, could he be sent by Emperor Dayu? !
If this is really the case, given Emperor Dayu's wariness against Southern Xinjiang and King Zhennan, it is impossible for this young master to be completely on the same page as the Southern Xinjiang army. I am afraid that the two of them are at odds with each other. This is a big no-no when the two armies are confronting each other.
What's more, no matter who this person is, there are 20,000 Nanliang troops outside the city now, and at a glance, there are only thousands of soldiers in Yanding City, what tricks can they play, Yanding City They are already the turtle in the urn of Nanliang!
In just a blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Langma's mind, and she felt more and more that for them, Nanliang, it was now the right time, the right place, and the right people!
Lang Ma was extremely proud. Even if he hadn't spoken yet, this pride and arrogance had already been released.
"Dayu people, I advise you to release me as soon as possible." Langma said arrogantly, "Maybe I can help you say a few nice words in front of our Nanliang coach and destroy the city. Let me give you a way to survive."
Hearing this, the atmosphere on the city wall turned cold. The soldiers were filled with indignation and their eyes couldn't help but focus on Guan Yubai.
Guan Yubai looked towards Langma with a pair of warm eyes, with a slight smile on his lips.
For some reason, when she met those seemingly harmless eyes, Langma felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.
"Kneel down!"
The official language was given two words in vain. The two simple words may sound plain, but they reveal undoubted determination and the vigor of a sword unsheathed.
Lang Ma was startled, and an idea came to his mind. Could it be that this person also wanted to imitate the shameless Xiao Yi, using himself as a shield to stand on the city wall? He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he was escorted up from behind. One of the men in gray kicked him on the back knee.
Langma screamed in pain and knelt down on the city wall in embarrassment.
The next moment, I heard Guan Yubai continue to order: "Behead!"
On the city wall, there was silence.
Not only Langma couldn't believe his ears, but also the generals on the city wall were dumbfounded.
The generals originally thought that Guan Yubai wanted to use Langma as a condition to get the enemy to retreat, or that he wanted to use Langma as a hostage to delay time so that Yanding City could earn a breath of life. Thinking that Guan Yubai had given such an order.
But at this time, would it be too reckless to kill the Nine Kings? Will it anger the Nanliang army outside the city?
Many soldiers have a trace of uncertainty in their hearts.
Lang Ma naturally felt the weirdness in the air and yelled crazily: "Are you crazy? Our Nanliang army of 20,000 is just outside the city, and you still want to let this king sent by Emperor Dayu Do everyone do whatever they want? Can’t you see..."
Langma's words hit home the concerns of many soldiers. Several young generals exchanged glances and hesitated. However, after Guan Yubai established his authority several times, even though they were still wary of him, they did not dare to comment casually anymore.
In response to Langma’s clamor, Guan Yubai coldly interrupted the other party with one word——
"Cut!"
