Shen Amber raised her head and saw countless arrows flying past her head.

The second day of defending the city.

The Xiye people seem to have received the order from Voga Alos long ago. They have prepared their troops since the beginning of preparations for the Marriage Mountain meeting, and they are only waiting for an opportunity to break through Fuzi City.From here, gradually capture the entire Great Seal just like occupying the twelve cities of Zongzhou back then.

They came prepared, even if Zhou Lanmu had thought early on that they were ready to meet the enemy, they still had to struggle.

What's more--he probably didn't expect that Voga Alos has been insane all these years, and he has used the power of the whole country to raise troops, just to seize this opportunity at the time of the regime change in Great India.

"General, the left line is urgent!"

A soldier passed in front of him, Shen Amber got up and glanced outside the city wall.

"Hold it! Throw stones if necessary!"

"Yes!"

His face was calm, but the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart gradually spread.

It has been almost a day and a night since Zhou Lanmu and Voga Alos disappeared on the Marriage Mountain.

Although Zhou Lanmu ordered not to look for them, the Xiye people and the Dayin people searched along the river for a long time under the cliff, but they did not find any trace of them.

Shen Amber recalled meeting the 15-year-old prince for the first time back then. At that time, his name was Shen Hu, a low-ranking soldier in the military camp. After performing a complete set of sword skills in the martial arts field, he stole the limelight from the group of people in the military camp. Surrounded by them and beaten.

He held his head and said nothing, and he didn't resist, but soon he heard the people around him suddenly quiet down, and a slender and white hand rested on his shoulder, signaling him to get up.

The young prince was holding a golden bowl of wine in his hand. He was in the camp just now, and he only came out when he heard the movement.He asked his name, and said calmly: "Young man with green temples and rich hairpin, heavy amber in the powder pot...you change your name and follow me to the upper barracks."

The kindness of knowing you is hard to repay in a lifetime.

He gritted his teeth and felt a fishy smell between his lips and teeth. Just as he was about to stand up, another soldier shouted at him excitedly: "General Shen, General Shen!!"

Shen Amber wiped her face and drank: "Say!"

He didn't hear the soldier's reply, but felt someone pat him on the shoulder in front of him. He raised his head and saw a familiar face.

After staying in the upper barracks for several years, His Highness suddenly brought him back to the lower barracks one day, pointing to a thin and slender little white face who looked nothing like marching and fighting materials, and said to him: "This is my brother, please. You and Tzuyu will take better care of you."

He thought that this person was no different from the group of dandies he had seen in the military camp, but later he realized that a young man who could win the favor of His Highness could be a waste.

Chu Shao had the closest relationship with him during the years of his march. The two of them followed the old general Chu Jiang through life and death. In his heart, Chu Shao was already his sworn brother, but he never thought that one day he would turn against the person he respected the most.

Life and death are true and false, and the matter of feelings is already a bad debt. Except for themselves, I am afraid that no one can figure it out.

"General..." Shen Amber repeated in a murmur, and knelt down as soon as her knees softened, feeling tears in her eyes, she called out again unconsciously, "General!"

Chu Shao lowered his head and helped him up.

Standing on the city wall that day, Chu Shao clearly saw Bai Canglang clutching Zhou Lanmu's sleeve tightly when he was dying, and whispered a few words.

But Zhou Lanmu didn't mention anything afterwards.

Bai Canglang has done all the evil things, but he still cares about a little misty affection in his heart, otherwise he would not have jumped out to defend Qi Chu's arrows. Chu Shao thought for a long time, and always felt that these few words had nothing to do with the vicissitudes of life in Zhou Lanmu's body. It is related to the birth of the month.

After all, Bai Canglang is the master of Southeast Ye Mayfly, and he also practiced the poisonous Gu from Southeast. After he was poisoned that year, he lent soldiers to Wei Shuqing, and in order to make them trust, he gave Qi Lang the blind antidote.

Zhou Lanmu always thought that Qi Lang destroyed the antidote.

But Qi Lang loved him so much back then, how could he destroy this kind of thing that could restrain him - the only explanation is that Bai Canglang didn't send him the antidote at all back then, it was a gimmick invented by Qi Lang himself, or The antidote that Bai Canglang gave him back then was a fake, and he destroyed it in anger after he discovered it.

Chu Shao made up his mind a long time ago to lure Zhou Lanmu's poisonous Gu to himself. Even though Fang He had warned him meaningfully, saying that his mood was more serious than Zhou Lanmu's, and that the Gu had reached the point of attack. , forcibly attracting Gu may soon kill him.

So that day he knelt by the bed and said a lot to Zhou Lanmu, sincerely thinking that this farewell was a real farewell.

Fang He didn't show up until he went out and fell to the side of the road in pain due to the attack of the poisonous Gu, and told him what happened that day.

It turned out that his guess was right.

Sure enough, Bai Canglang left Cang Haiyuesheng's real antidote, which was what he told Zhou Lanmu at the last moment.

Bai Canglang left the antidote back then and sealed it in the Dongnanping Palace. Telling Zhou Lanmu about this before he died was to force him to make a final choice—the poisonous Gu on his body was getting worse, and I am afraid that he would only stay here. For a few days, if you go to the southeast desperately, you still have a chance of survival.

But now that Xiye is stalking outside Fuzi City, can he really get away?

Whether life or the country is more important, Zhou Lanmu made a decision almost as soon as he heard it.

Fang He managed to suppress the poison for him, and said only one sentence: "If you didn't insist on inducing poison to your body and committing to death, I might not be willing to tell you about it. Now that you know it, go as far as you can, God grants your fate." Don't let it go, don't let it down."

It took at least seven days to go back and forth to the southeast, but he was too poisonous, so he might not be able to last long, and he was dying as soon as he left Fuzi City.

Then he met the seriously injured Su Furong outside the city gate.

The girl covered the wound on her shoulder, and said to him: "Back then... the reason why Feng Shuo turned against the young master, and later told me about the murder of his father, was instigated by Bai Canglang and Qi Chu. The young master left When Zhongyang went to Fuzi City, Bai Canglang confessed everything to me. Time was running out... Before I had time to tell the young master, I hurried to the southeast. The last thing I can do..."

"You broke through the southeast level 72?" Chu Shao helped her up, and found that the girl's injuries were too serious, and she was probably unable to recover.

However, Su Furong showed him a miserable smile: "When I was young, I was a homeless person, fortunately, I was rescued by the son and the master on Wednesday, and then I got the care of the son for so many years, I really shouldn't..."

"You live well, pay back for me..."

The Xiye people's siege situation was tense, and Chu Shao's appearance calmed the morale of the army, but the two sides continued to see each other until the evening, until the sun disappeared, and the sound of arrows piercing the air could still be heard.

Chu Shao leaned against the back of the city wall in a daze.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Amber wiped the blood from her face, sat down next to him, unscrewed the suede wine bag on hand and took a sip, "The way the grandsons of Nishino played...that Voga Isn't Alos really afraid that this battle will destroy the entire West Field, and his vitality will be severely damaged from then on?"

"It's been two days..." Chu Shao muttered, "Two days..."

Shen Amber turned her head sideways and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Fu Yunming has been prepared for a long time, I'm afraid this time it will be a fight with the power of the whole country," Chu Shao said with lowered eyes, "I'm thinking—"

"General!" Before he could finish speaking, a small soldier suddenly ran up and interrupted him, "Two people somehow found out about the underground passage in our inner city and sneaked in. We don't know their identities, I'm afraid they are The people from Xiye held it first. But the two said they must see the general, so they had no choice but to invite you—"

Chu Shao stood up abruptly, turned sideways to avoid the arrow in his ear, picked up Shen Amber, and followed the soldier without saying a word.

Shen Amber didn't know why, until she followed him to the place where the two were detained.Under the moonlight, he saw one of them took off the red hood on his head, revealing a face more beautiful than moonlight.

And the other person made him startled: "Master Sang, you...why are you here?"

Sang Zhe took a step back, half-kneeled to salute Chu Shao, bowed his head and said, "General, I've done what I've done, fortunately I didn't disgrace my life."

But Chu Shao ignored him, he stared straight at Man Tianhong, and said word by word: "Only you know his advance arrangements on Marriage Chishan Mountain, where is he?"

Man Tianhong covered her mouth and smiled lightly at him.

Tick.

Tick.

There was the sound of dripping dew.

Holding the flute in one hand, Zhou Lanmu leaned against the wall of the pit, feeling a dazzling white light in front of him.

It's almost two days away.

In the past two days, both he and Fu Yunming have not made any progress, and their physical and mental strength are on the verge of collapse.

During this period, Zhou Lanmu fell into a drowsy sleep once, and before he woke up, he felt a pair of cold hands pinching viciously on his neck.

He struggled hastily, but fortunately Fu Yunming didn't have much strength, the two rolled and fought on the ground until they were exhausted.

This happened no less than three times, so even though they had exhausted their physical strength, the two of them never dared to close their eyes again.

Fu Yunming tried his best to leave this ghostly place, but he had nothing at hand, so he was powerless.

He closed his eyes, pressed the center of his brows, and said suddenly, "Your Majesty...do you really hope that both of you and I will die here?"

Zhou Lanmu looked up at him, his voice hoarse: "It's my honor to die with Majesty."

"You should know that even if I die, I can't change it... Cough, I can't change anything," Fu Yunming said with difficulty, holding his throat, "The Xiye army is here, so it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Zhou Lanmu laugh.

"I really don't want to hang out with Maharaja any more," Zhou Lanmu coughed twice, and said happily, "Majesty doesn't want to ask, who was the person I found to dig the hole here?"

"Who is so familiar with the terrain of Xiye, who came up with this brilliant idea for me, and who can respond to all the leaders of Xiye soldiers without any worries?"

Fu Yunming seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

Zhou Lanmu looked at him and couldn't stop laughing: "Majesty, are you not happy that I helped Xi Ye find the 'God'?"

"Are you crazy!?" Fu Yunming stood up while supporting the strange rock beside him, and walked towards him unsteadily, with a grim expression on his face, "Crazy... If we both suffer, it's best for him. Will invade the Great Seal? He...he will not come to save you!"

"I just helped the little prince of Xiye hold back his elder brother so that he would have a chance to appear in front of everyone and take your throne." Zhou Lanmu said slowly, squinting at him, as if he didn't care about anything. Don't be timid, "As for whether to save me or not - I have already said that it is my honor to die with you."

"You crazy, crazy!"

Fu Yunming pointed at him tremblingly, almost losing his mind, he staggered a few steps, and suddenly rushed towards Zhou Lanmu, his face twisted like a beast.

"I killed you... you go to die!!"
