Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Yuwen Ying waved his hand gently, and the soldiers retracted their raised swords, but did not sheath them.

"Why did the King of Qi come here suddenly?"

He smiled faintly, maintaining outward courtesy, but his sharp eyes were like a knife, as if he wanted to immediately dig out the heart hidden in his chest and find out what was inside.

It is true that he is the leader of all the officials, but this is a battlefield and the city is being attacked. It is hard not to doubt his true intentions when he comes uninvited.

You can’t help but be on guard!

Yu Wenying's heart and eyes were full of vigilance.

He hinted to his confidants around him not to take it lightly.

Yuwen Jue pretended not to see it, glanced at Lianzhou City not far away, and asked instead of answering.

"Hasn't it been conquered yet?"

It was a light sentence, apparently without any emotion, but somehow it sounded like a question to the inferior, as if a very simple thing had not been done well.

Yu Wenying looked a little embarrassed, and with anger in his heart, he snorted and laughed: "Lianzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"Easy to defend and difficult to attack?"

Yuwen Jue repeated calmly, glancing at the army behind him, unconcerned.

"Three thousand elite soldiers are enough for just Lianzhou."

Not to mention Yuwen Ying, even the people standing nearby found it unbelievable.

Three thousand?

He is so arrogant and conceited that he has no idea of ​​his own limitations!

Yuwen Ying became even angrier, his face darkened: "The King of Qi is so arrogant."

Someone presented a city defense map, and Yuwen Jue frowned and took a look.

Liang Qian watched their every move closely.

As Yuwen Jue's fingers gently slid toward a certain place on the map, her heart sank as well. Her hands and feet felt ice-cold, a chill that seeped from the bottom of her heart.

He really understood her.

Yuwen Ying was not convinced in his heart, his eyes still stayed on where Yuwen Jue's finger was, his brows furrowed. Did he think he was blind?

Can’t you see that it’s heavily guarded?

He raised his lips and said disdainfully: "This is the most—"

He paused suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he grabbed the city defense map, holding it tightly, and turned to look at the people kneeling in a row: "How dare you tease me!"

Liang Qian smiled softly: "All is fair in war."

There were eyes fixed on her, but Liang Qian didn't want to look.

Unlike Liang Qian who was powerless and desperate, Wang Tingyue was worried and anxious. He really didn't understand what was going on between Yuwen Jue and Liang Qian.

He wanted to get some answers from her eyes, but she lowered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Yuwen Ying waved his hand, and someone immediately took the order and left.

Liang Huan closed his eyes.

If you know your enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

This statement is true.

Sure enough, in less than an incense stick of time, the dilapidated gate of Lianzhou City opposite collapsed, and the Zhou army poured out from inside.

Liang Qian looked up again and saw that the high city wall was already filled with Zhou army flags, and her ears were filled with the cheers of the Zhou army.

Liang Qian watched and listened blankly.

The city changed hands right before our eyes.

Lianzhou City has become a deserted city.

Liang Qian and several others were escorted into the city.

She staggered all the way as she was dragged, but she didn't react at all, her eyes just staring at the road ahead.

There were many corpses of Qi soldiers on the ground, and some of them were seriously injured but not dead and had been tied up by Zhou soldiers.

Prisoners of war were constantly dragged into their ranks.

Yuwenying shouted that he wanted to kill the prisoners and sacrifice the city.

The Zhou army had tens of thousands of troops, and even though they sent out several teams to clean up the battlefield and search the city, there were still quite a few people left.

A huge group of people, shouting, walked straight to the high platform in the city.

Liang Qian and Wang Tingyue were placed at the front of the prisoner-of-war team.

"Ah'an..."

Wang Tingyue looked at the person whose face was becoming increasingly paler and felt that something was wrong with her.

Liang Qian's lips were white, and she tried to look up at him, then she shook her head and smiled: "I'm fine."

fine?

Wang Tingyue looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead and frowned tightly.

He knew that she had been feeling unwell these days.

Wang Tingyue had a bad premonition and looked for Yuwen Jue anxiously. Unfortunately, he was riding on a horse and too far away. He could vaguely see him, and it seemed that he was talking with Yuwen Ying and others.

Wang Tingyue was extremely anxious and roared regardless of the consequences.

"Stop! Stop it!"

He shouted again and again, but the team was too noisy. The Zhou army was already shouting all the way, and there were also the groans and curses of the seriously injured prisoners.

This thin, weightless voice was drowned out by the crowd.

"Ah, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Tingyue's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.

Liang Qian bit her lip and shook her head gently, her body already covered in sweat.

Lianzhou City is not small. When she was dragged to the place of execution, Liang Qian fell to the ground with her eyes darkened before the soldiers could even exert force.

Yuwen Ying jumped onto the platform and walked in front of Liang Qian with a big laugh. Someone came late on a horse.

Liang Qian fell to the ground without raising her eyes, but she could still clearly see the person coming with her peripheral vision.

Just as Yu Wenying reached out to pinch her chin, a coughing voice was heard from the other side.

"Yuwenying, let her go."

Liang Qian was startled and looked over when she heard the voice.

Wang Tingyue and others followed her gaze and when they saw the person coming, their faces suddenly turned pale.

"His Majesty!"

A person in a black robe was supported and walked forward from behind the crowd.

There were only two of them in the group.

Yuwen Ying was stunned. The King of Qi was actually hiding in the city and did not escape.

Immediately, he was overjoyed and quickly let go of Liang Qian.

Capturing the King of Qi is a great achievement!

The Zhou army, which had been cheering loudly just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent, and all of them looked at the newcomer in astonishment. They were so happy just now that they didn't notice or expect that the King of Qi would fall into the trap without waiting for the search!

Liang Qian frowned and looked at Gao Qian intently.

Their eyes met in the air, just for a quick touch, and then he turned his gaze to Yuwen Ying.

"How about exchanging my life for the Queen's?"

Yuwen Ying couldn't believe it and said in surprise: "As the king of a country, you would surrender for a woman. If you are not stupid, who else is stupid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stunned Zhou soldiers burst into laughter.

Yuwen Ying did not order Gao Qian to be tied up, but watched him walk forward step by step with a smile as if he was watching a play, as if waiting for a good show.

The mocking look was like treating a toy in the palm of your hand.

Gao Qian brushed away Qian Ming's hand, staggered to Liang Qian, squatted down with a smile, carefully helped her up, and looked her straight in the eye.

His usually unfathomable black eyes were rarely as clear and bright as spring water.

Gao Qian spoke softly.

"Why did you knock me out?"

Liang Qian pursed her lips and said nothing.

Gao Qian sighed: "You want me to die in my sleep?"

Liang Qian frowned, unable to say that it was completely wrong.

After all, if she died, he would not be able to live.

Gao Qian nodded, looked straight into her eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Aren't you afraid of losing the bet?"

Liang Qian's pupils sank slightly, and she was speechless because someone had guessed her true feelings.

Gao Qian tried to help Liang Qian untie her.

The soldiers next to him wanted to stop him, but Yuwen Ying waved his hand and he stepped aside.

Gao Qian glanced back and said, "If you can't get it, you're going to kill me?"

Everyone followed his gaze and gasped.

Is this referring to the King of Wei, or... the King of Qi?

I wanted to confirm it again, but it was impossible. The gaze was so fast that it almost didn't land.

Could it be that what the Queen of Qi just said was true, and the King of Wei was angry and humiliated by being rejected...

Seeing everyone's inquiring eyes, Yu Wenying's expression changed.

"Qi Jun, stop talking nonsense!"

Gao Qian lowered his eyes and said, "Let her go."

Not a negotiation, not a request, but an order.

Yu Wenying was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "How can you, a prisoner, have the confidence to issue orders?"

The laughter paused, and something cold and sharp touched my neck.

"What if it was me?"
