Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

There was no sign of panic on Liang Qian's face. She just hesitated for a moment, reached out and grabbed the sachet that had been prepared long ago, stood up and was about to go out.

Qian Ming panicked: "My Lady——"

Liang Qian paused, took out the small bottle from her sleeve, turned around and threw it to him: "Don't let him die."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Qian Ming barely caught the bottle and gasped.

Only she dares to say such a treasonous statement!

East of the city.

Before I got close, I heard shouting from inside and outside the door.

Liang Qian's eyebrows moved. With the incident of Pingzhou City, the Zhou army believed it without a doubt and indeed concentrated their forces to attack the east gate, which had the weakest defense.

She quickened her pace and tried to go forward to help.

"Ah - Her Majesty," Wang Tingyue suddenly saw someone rushing over, and in his anxiety, he almost blurted out the usual name.

This was not the time to get hung up on the name, so he continued, "I'll be guarding here, you go back quickly, if the city is breached... you can take the master out through the south gate."

The city defense map leaked to Zhou Jun was true, but they temporarily transferred troops to change the defense.

Wang Tingyue lowered his voice, his slightly red eyes flashed with a fearless light, and his tone was unusually firm.

Their eyes met, but Liang Qian said nothing.

Pei Yao led his soldiers to guard the west gate, but Pei Yao himself was limping, and the other soldiers were also injured to varying degrees.

Once the east and west gates were captured and the city fell, the South Gate would be the only escape route they had left.

Therefore, although the South Gate has the strongest military force according to the city defense map, the only people guarding there now are just a group of remnant soldiers, women and children.

Liang Qian glanced at Wang Tingyue, silently walked around him and tried to go up to the city wall. The roar of killing from the Zhou army outside was deafening and piercing into her heart and mind. It was very terrifying to her ears.

She could fully imagine what a tragic situation the city would be in once the Zhou army broke in.

When they passed each other, Wang Tingyue grabbed her, his eyes full of emotion, "Ah'an."

Liang Qian tilted her head to look at him.

Wang Tingyue moved his lips, and his scorching gaze was now covered with a layer of mist. He paused and spoke awkwardly.

"Ah'an, I am very happy to see you before I die, but I hope you are alive. Take this opportunity to leave from the south gate and go to Zhou or Qi..."

He shook his head and said, "He is the only one who can protect you now. I think this must have been the reason why the master wanted to send you away."

Wang Tingyue pursed his lips and smiled, but his eyes were filled with deep sadness and bitterness.

Liang Qian held him with her backhand, her throat tightened, and she shook her head gently: "Brother, you want to protect me, but I also have people I want to protect. How can I watch you die one by one while I live alone..."

"General——"

Xiao Wu ran towards Wang Tingyue panting, and suddenly saw Liang Qian pause in his steps. A look of guilt flashed across her eyes and her expression was a little stiff.

It was not until dawn when the defense was temporarily changed that he realized that he had misunderstood Liang Qian. She had not betrayed her country at all.

Liang Qian let go of her hand, calmed herself down and looked over.

The Zhou army didn't attack in the middle of the night probably because they had the city defense map in hand and were confident, right?

Without saying anything more, Xiao Wu took two quick steps forward and said to Wang Tingyue in a low voice, "The Zhou army's offensive is too fierce! We can't hold on for long!"

Liang Qian and Wang Tingyue looked at each other.

There is a huge gap in strength between the two armies, which is something everyone knows well. Such roundabout operations are only to prevent the Zhou army from catching them off guard and not giving them a chance to fight back.

What good are plans without the strength to match them?

If there is any difference, it is just the difference between dying early and dying late.

Liang Qian lowered her eyes and smiled coldly, then looked up at Wang Tingyue: "Brother, let's gamble again this time. Life and death will be decided by God."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the city wall.

It is impossible for people to win every time by luck.

But it just happens that some people are just lucky.

Behind the battlements, Liang Qian looked out and saw flags fluttering and the army approaching the city.

The troops sent to attack the city were only the vanguard of the Zhou army, and they had not even used their main force yet. But even so, it was hard to resist...

The Zhou army was clearly determined to win.

Liang Qian felt increasingly depressed.

She could even clearly see the leader of the army in front.

The only people standing at the forefront who were familiar were Xiao Jingnan and Xiao Qianyi. The other person with an extraordinary demeanor should be Prince Wei Yuwenying. The rest were all unfamiliar faces.

I couldn’t describe how I felt when I didn’t see Yuwen Jue. Maybe I just felt a little bit disappointed.

Come to think of it, it would be too easy to take Lianzhou, so why would he come here in person?

If she had not escaped, Lianzhou would have become a new city of Zhou State like Tuyang without her knowledge.

Liang Qian pursed her lips.

I'm afraid we really have to leave it to fate now.

Liang Qian turned her head and met Wang Tingyue's gaze.

She thought for a moment, put her hand close to his ear, and said a few simple words.

Wang Tingyue's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said firmly: "Absolutely not! If you go out like this, it will undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a rock, and you will die in vain!"

How could she not know?

Liang Qian nodded and sighed slightly: "How long can we hold on like this? In my opinion, there is no difference between dying in the city and dying outside. Instead of waiting to be caught, it is better to sneak out and disrupt them. Oh, yes, it would be best if we can take the opportunity to capture the few people standing in front alive. Maybe we can use them as hostages to threaten Zhou Jun, delay some time, and struggle hard..."

After saying this, he didn't care about Wang Tingyue's reaction and just ordered the soldiers beside him to prepare the horses.

She looked at the soldier's back as he left and gave a wry smile, knowing in her heart that this was pure nonsense.

Liang Qian took a deep breath and took a step to follow.

Wang Tingyue hurriedly grabbed her, and before she could open her mouth, Liang Qian sighed again: "Besides this, do we have any other choice?"

Wang Tingyue frowned, his eyes were filled with sorrow, but suddenly, his expression relaxed: "Well, I'll go with you."

Liang Qian hurriedly shook her head: "You can't go, you have to stay. You have to know that these are the only tricks I know. A real war requires the deployment of troops. Brother, if you want to go with me, what should we do next? I'm afraid General Pei will be alone and unable to support the army."

Then he patted her sac and signaled to Wang Tingyue, "Don't forget that I was the one who saved you that day. When you see that I'm not in good condition, you can save me when you have the chance. Besides, I'm just going to disrupt them. I will definitely run away when I achieve my goal. I won't fight you head-on."

Wang Tingyue refused to agree, but he couldn't persuade her.

Time was running out, Liang Qian didn't delay any longer and turned around to go down the stairs.

Wang Tingyue selected more than twenty of the best soldiers in the army to accompany Liang Qian.

Liang Qian did not refuse. She had just seen the general situation of the Zhou army very clearly from the high place. Before setting off, she took a branch and simply drew the distribution of the Zhou army on the ground. She reminded them again that saving lives was important, and then she led her men on horseback and quietly sneaked out of the city through the south gate.
