I can't, I can't

Frontier, camp.

Yang Huo just woke up from a nap, with a headache and chest tightness. Before he opened his mouth to speak, he let out a series of coughs.

With no one around, such a tragic situation is naturally not pretending to be seen by others. Recently, the environment has been difficult and the diet is not good. Yang Huo's old wounds have sprouted a tendency to turn into chronic illnesses.

The guards on the left and right handed over the medicine bowls, and whispered: "The defense on the city wall is still the same, and there are shifts every hour, and there are people watching at any time."

Yang Huo frowned: "Sheng Lingyu hasn't come back yet?"

The guard said: "Yes, Mr. Sheng has not returned yet."

In the early morning of this morning, Yunguo's army took another step forward, and in the evening, it was even closer to the city, and there was a possibility of attacking the city at any time.

After living for so long, it was the first time for Yang Huo to fall into such a passive situation, facing the sharp edge of the enemy directly, with no way to retreat, he was really devastated.

After taking the medicine, he went to the city wall to have a look in person, and there was a mass of people's heads under the city.

Yang Huo felt uncomfortable in his chest and coughed again.

Two hours later, as the night darkened, the news of Sheng Lingyu's return to the camp finally came from outside the tent.

However, this person did not report to Yang Huo after he came back, but went straight back to his tent.Yang Huo had something on his mind, so he didn't waste time waiting, and went to Sheng Lingyu by himself.

When Yang Huo entered, Sheng Lingyu was drinking porridge on his camp bed.When Yang Huomeng saw it, he couldn't help but startled.

Recently, neither of them had a good time.Yang Huo was restrained by Yun Guo's many times of chasing, and Sheng Lingyu, a latecomer, for some reason, was more worried than him, and was always tired, and it was a long time since he was calmly drinking porridge.

Yang Huo quickly came back to his senses and asked, "Did you borrow soldiers?"

Sheng Lingyu looked up at him, and asked, "Where can I borrow troops at such a juncture?"

Sheng Lingyu left the front line suddenly, and after going there for a long time, Yang Huo naturally didn't think about it, but he didn't want Sheng Lingyu to react like this. "Aren't you going to borrow soldiers? Are you going to meet someone?"

Sheng Lingyu didn't respond, but instead asked, "His Highness King Ning still thinks about these things?"

Of course, Yang Huo didn't have the time to think about other things, but he did hold a glimmer of hope for Sheng Lingyu's borrowing of soldiers, and now that his expectations have failed, his heart is inevitably dignified.

I'm afraid there won't be too long a wait before Yunguo's blade is coming.

As Yang Huo expected, it wasn't long after Sheng Lingyu came back. When the sky became bright, there was the sound of horns signaling war on the city wall.

Yang Huo opened the tent and saw the smoke of the wolf burning, and someone shouted loudly: "Your Highness!! They are attacking the city!!"

Yang Huo gritted his teeth, pulled out his long sword, and said to the surroundings: "Don't mess up! Defend the city with all your strength!"

The battle of offense and defense has always been the most time-consuming and labor-intensive, and a little slack can mean the difference between life and death.

The roar sounded on the city wall for a long time, and there were more corpses on the city wall.The two sides struggled like a seesaw until the afternoon, when the wind blew head-on, and the smell of blood was full.

Yang Huo polished off his strength on the city wall, and the shiny armor on his body was stained with blood from nowhere, but the black shadows coming from below the city were still like a colony of ants coming out of their nest, densely packed, hard to count.

Can't hold it.

To do this like this is really the best of benevolence.Yang Huo didn't hesitate any longer, hurried to Sheng Lingyu's side, and announced: "Don't delay, let's abandon the city!"

Now it is impossible for the remaining soldiers to retreat, leaving most of them to continue fighting, only he and Sheng Lingyu have a chance to escape.

Abandoning the city and fleeing is embarrassing, if possible, Yang Huo would not want to be so famous, but compared with the ending Fu Honglang arranged for them, saving their lives is the most important thing right now.

Sheng Lingyu's situation was no better than Yang Huo's. He was exhausted from fighting non-stop, but he didn't agree, and only said: "I won't leave."

Yang Huo: "This amount of manpower can't defend the city at all. There is no need to argue about obvious things. You want to die here, but I don't."

Sheng Lingyu: "Then His Royal Highness King Ning might as well go by himself."

Yang Huo sneered, he really didn't intend to entangle Sheng Lingyu more.

At the juncture of life and death, he took a few people close to him and walked quickly down the city. After walking a few steps, he turned back to look at Sheng Lingyu. Sheng Lingyu looked at him from afar, with cold eyes.

Yang Huo paused when he walked out, and suddenly hesitated: Why is Sheng Lingyu not in a hurry?Does he have any backhands?

Yang Huo never believed that Sheng Lingyu would die here because of some false reputation, but after thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't think of where Sheng Lingyu could find a rescuer.

While hesitating, the soldier guarding the city gate was stabbed in the chest by a sharp gun, the gate cracked an irreparable gap, and cold sweat instantly flowed down, Yang Huo hurriedly changed direction.At the same time, the horn of the Ding Dynasty sounded outside the city, and a large army charged forward, cutting off the Yun Kingdom's army from the rear.

Yang Huo couldn't see the spectacle of reinforcements falling from the sky, but he could hear the cheers of the soldiers around him.The joy and roar of being in a desperate situation brought strength to all survivors.

Many people shouted one after another: "Hold on! Everyone hold on!! Reinforcements are coming!!"

Yang Huo woke up suddenly, and rushed back upstairs. Among the chaos, he saw the military flag of Yongzhou. On the red flag, there was a distinctive "Lu" character.

It turned out to be Lu Qiao.

Yang Huo's heart was shaken, and he went to see Sheng Lingyu again. In a short period of time, his mind turned back and forth, and he asked, "You knew it a long time ago?"

Sheng Lingyu didn't respond, but Yang Huo said again: "But Lu Qiao why..." Suddenly, Yang Huo changed the subject and said clearly, "So that's it, he is here."

These words seemed to hit Sheng Lingyu's mind, and Sheng Lingyu's expression suddenly showed obvious disgust, but only for a moment, Sheng Lingyu said: "The new emperor of Yunguo is sitting in the center, and the layout is disrupted at this time. It’s a godsend opportunity.”

Hearing the sound, Yang Huo stared at Sheng Lingyu for a while, and didn't speak any more. He only called to the left and right: "Call someone, follow me."

……

Waking up from a dream, Kang Jiangxue was dripping with cold sweat.

He sat up and rested on the head of the bed for a long time, but still felt terrified.

He had a bad dream.

In his dream, he saw Sheng Lingyu defending the city on the top of the wall, holding the sword given to him by the little emperor, fighting with people continuously until he was bleeding all over and couldn't stop.

Maybe that's not a dream, but a reality that's happening right now.

Will Sheng Lingyu get hurt?Will Lu Qiao's support be in time?With such worries, Kang Jiangxue is really having a hard time, and she will dream when she closes her eyes.

This situation continued until two days later in the morning, the little emperor was awakened by the sound of birds chirping, and several magpies flew to the little emperor's window and croaked.

Kang Jiangxue is not superstitious, but sometimes she is always willing to believe in some good omens.He got up and hugged Xiaoyu in front of the door to sprinkle a handful of rice for the magpies. Just in time, the child in his belly kicked him. The energetic posture and the magpies suddenly made the little emperor feel better.

Seems like... good things are going to happen.

Not long after thinking like this, Kang Jiangxue saw Sheng Lingyu during her daily walk.Sheng Lingyu came from a distance on a horse, stopped carefully when he got close, and saluted the little emperor.

Not allowing Sheng Lingyu to kneel down, Kang Jiangxue threw herself directly into Sheng Lingyu's arms, calling out, "Yulang!" After clearing his mind, the little emperor became more and more comfortable with this title.

On the other hand, Sheng Lingyu was always a little flattered, and when he hugged the little emperor's waist, he paused before he dared to tighten his arms.

Kang Jiangxue didn't care about this at all, she held Sheng Lingyu's cheek and looked at it carefully.Unlike what he had dreamed in his dream, Sheng Lingyu looked very energetic, with gentle eyes, clear and bright eyes, so clean that he could reflect his shadow.

Kang Jiangxue was overjoyed, and blurted out: "You won."

Sheng Lingyu smiled and replied, "Your Majesty already knows?"

Kang Jiangxue shook her head: "I don't know, but I guessed it when you appeared."

Sheng Lingyu's smile deepened.

That expression is not like the alienation and restraint between the monarch and his subjects, but a kind of natural intimacy and tenderness.He stared deeply at the little emperor for a while, then said: "The front is cleaning the battlefield. This battle has lost a lot, but it is a great victory. Not only have we recovered the two cities we lost before, we have retreated hundreds of miles from the enemy, and we have confiscated many Grain and supplies."

As he spoke, he didn't mention anything directly, but said: "Thanks to Your Majesty."

The battle was won because of soldiers fighting, Sheng Lingyu's persistence, and Lu Qiao's support. The little emperor did nothing, so he couldn't take the credit.He didn't answer this question, and didn't mention Lu Qiao to Sheng Lingyu. He shook his head and said, "Are you injured again this time? Can you come to me at this time?"

Sheng Lingyu responded that she was not injured, and then said: "It's okay, take a look at Your Majesty, and I will go back."

Kang Jiangxue was startled: "Are you leaving now? You just came..."

The dependence and reluctance in my heart are beyond words.Sheng Lingyu laughed, and suddenly picked up the little emperor horizontally, and in Kang Jiangxue's astonishment, carried the little emperor to the horse.

Sheng Lingyu: "Your Majesty will go back with me."

Kang Jiangxue was even more surprised immediately: "Go to the camp? Can I go?" There are a lot of people in the camp, and there are Yang Huo and Lu Qiao at the moment. If they bump into...

Hard to imagine.

Sheng Lingyu was not as worried as the little emperor, he raised his head and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, I have something that I would like to show His Majesty."

Kang Jiangxue didn't know why, and asked, "What?"

Sheng Lingyu didn't answer, just walked away, and led a group of Lang Wei on the road slowly.

With Sheng Lingyu around, Kang Jiangxue doesn't have to worry about anything.When the night fell on the road, the surrounding temperature dropped slightly. Sheng Lingyu put a cloak on the little emperor and put on a hat to cover the little emperor's figure tightly.

I don't know if he has already greeted the city in advance. On the way into the city, Kang Jiangxue didn't bump into anyone. When he arrived in the camp, it was still like a silent ghost passing through the whole process. There is no need for the little emperor to worry.

In such a daze, the little emperor was taken by Sheng Lingyu to the open space where the prisoners were placed.

In the middle of the open space, there is a big iron cage. From a distance, a familiar figure can already be seen inside the cage, with an indistinguishable face and long hair, leaning against the side of the cage.

Kang Jiangxue's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't believe it for a moment: "This is not..."

Sheng Lingyu nodded: "It's Ji Linxiu."

For a moment, Kang Jiangxue suddenly didn't know what to say.

He knew very well in his heart that Ji Linxiu's identity was different now. Once the new emperor who was a combative alien was captured, it would be impossible for him to go back alive no matter whether it was at home or abroad.

Ji Linxiu's time has come, she must die.
