across mountains and seas

"Take down these rebels!" The general defending the city yelled loudly, before he could draw his sword, Liuxi's Shuying slashed his helmet off.

He was still in shock, and was about to dodge, but Liu Xi's change of move was extremely fast, the hilt of the knife slammed into his neck, just this hasty blow, the general guarding the city only felt a soft click on his cervical spine, his lower body seemed to lose strength, and he collapsed to the ground.

Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Xi raised his saber, grabbed his back armor, and sternly shouted: "Let go quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang in the city of Lidu, and several pavilions fell into sight, and there were more howls and screams in the city.

The archer standing on the top of the city had a long view, and he said with a pale face, "General... General... It seems... Lidu is really... falling..."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the city were in an uproar. They didn't even care about the long sword in front of them.

"Women... My family is still in the city..." The general guarding the city said anxiously, seeing that the east city gate has been out of control, the court will punish him for death, and he will die if he stays in Lidu, "I beg..."

"My family members will save themselves." Liu Xi patted him again, making him regain consciousness, and raised his voice: "Everyone can go to Donglin City first, and the governor will properly arrange you there." After finishing speaking, he Let go of the general guarding the city, "Don't worry, the imperial court will not hold you accountable for the crime of defending the city."

"But listen to the heroine's orders." The general who defended the city thanked him.

"Go back and save your family." Liu Xi clenched Shuying tightly, turned her head to look at Lidu, and took a deep breath, "If you have the energy to spare, save a few more people on the way, I will give you a credit, and my little governor will definitely reward you." .”

"Little governor?"

"The Governor of East Fuzhou, Jing Lan."

Liu Xi's tone was quite complacent, and the corners of her eyebrows were slightly raised, "Go home and save people." Suddenly feeling that the corners of her clothes were being grabbed by two small hands, Liu Xi looked down, it turned out to be the two children who were rescued today, "My sister has to go back to save people..."

The two children pursed their mouths, "Father and mother... are gone... woooo..." Thinking of the sad place, the children sobbed again.

Liu Xi sighed softly, and let the two children go on the road alone, fearing that if they could not reach Donglin City at all, they would die in the wilderness.She looked around and pointed to the entrance of the official road dozens of steps away, where there was a hundred-year-old locust tree, "Don't be afraid, you go there first and wait for my sister, and when my sister comes back, I will take you to Donglin."

"Hmm..." The two children nodded heavily.

Liu Xi knelt down and touched the head of the older child, "You are an older brother, you should take good care of your younger sister, you understand?"

"En!" The child held his sister's hand tightly, "We'll wait for my sister."

Liu Xi nodded, "If your feet are still caved in, you can take your sister to run along the official road, as far as you can, my sister can find you, understand?"

"Yeah!" The child nodded again.

Liu Xi gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her younger sister's eyes, "Follow brother, don't be afraid."

"Wuuu..." My sister opened her arms and hugged Liu Xi tightly, "My sister is coming back..."

"Be sure to come back." Liu Xi gently scratched the tip of her sister's nose and patted her arm, "My sister is going to save someone, you two must protect yourselves."

"Okay." The two children took two steps towards the old locust tree hand in hand, and looked back at Liuxi reluctantly.

Liu Xi waved his hand.

The two children sniffed, then ran towards the old locust tree without looking back.

My heart has become so soft.

Liu Xi smiled hoarsely, in her previous life she was decisive and decisive in killing people, she never felt that human life was nothing, but in this life she has already shed her scorpion heart, and today she only feels that saving one more person will give her a little more pleasure.

Holding Shuying's knife handle tightly, Liu Xi's chest is full of enthusiasm, so she will do her best to save one if she can!Liuxi tipped her toes, passed through the crowd of people running around, and went up against the current one by one, and rushed into Lidu again.

The people in the east of the city rushed out of the city one after another, and the people in the west of the city probably didn't know the news that Lidu was about to collapse.

As soon as Liu Xi made up his mind, he climbed up to the ridge of the roof without thinking too much, and ran towards the west of the city quickly.

Officials and soldiers acted separately according to the edict, and the people in the north and south of the city followed the court people to the north gate and south gate to exit Lidu in an orderly manner.The most fallen pavilions were in the west of the city, and the court troops could no longer go in to rescue them. On balance, those people had no choice but to give up, and it depended on whether they could escape from the half-collapsed west city gate?

After Jing Lan escorted Chu Xi out of the city safely, she took a worried look into the depths of Lidu City.

Chu Xi lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Jing Lan, you were born in the rivers and lakes, and I know you can't do things like sitting on the sidelines." As she said, she pointed to Lidu, "Go, I will go around to the east of Lidu City. Waiting for your return on the official road."

Jing Lan jumped out of the carriage gratefully, and bowed to Chu Xi, "Your Highness, please take care."

"Don't worry, my palace is escorted by the commander of the imperial guards, but the people in the west of the city are innocent. If you help me save one person, it's only one person." Chu Xi said in a deep voice, and bowed to Jing Lan with her hands folded.

"No!" Jing Lan bowed again, and rushed into Lidu City without looking back.

Chu Xi could only see a blurry figure of Jing Lan, but even if she couldn't see clearly, she could feel the chivalrous flame burning on Jing Lan's body, which was so hot that it made people feel at ease.

It's her luck that the minister is like this.

Chu Xi put down the curtain of the car, and said loudly, "Get driving."

"promise!"

The imperial soldiers and horses marched along the mountain road to the official road in the eastern suburbs, and the commander of the imperial guards looked back at Lidu from time to time, sighing.The royal capital of hundreds of years, the prosperity of hundreds of years, was destroyed today.

He suddenly thought of Daliang's royal family. In this lineage, there was only one eldest princess left.

The war in the world is still in flames, and the capital of the king collapsed before his eyes. How many years will it take for this precarious Liangshan River to return to its original state?The royal male is dead, and the eldest princess is bound to rule the world as a woman. This alone will make many people dissatisfied.Obviously they are both descendants of the emperor, women and men are very different, because men in the world only kneel down to men, and if they kneel down to women, they feel three points shorter.Lidu suffered such a catastrophe, and the turmoil in Daliang may be even worse in the future.The commander of the imperial guards only needs to think a little bit, and he knows that there are more difficulties waiting for the eldest princess.But now he only hopes that the rumor about Dongjing and Xishanliu is true, and with the help of one of them, he can win the world.

Donghai's...

The commander of the imperial guards thought of the little governor who returned to the city to rescue the people in the west of the city, such a thin young boy with such thin shoulders, could he help the eldest princess, the last descendant of the Liang emperor, to support this country?Start again from East Fuzhou, extinguish the flames of war inch by inch, and restore peace to the world?

Worried, but secretly looking forward to it.

It has been a long time since the commander of the imperial guards has had such apprehensions.

Chu Xi was sitting in the carriage, beside the unconscious little emperor Chu Xin.She gently stroked her younger brother's temples, and said lightly: "Ashin, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

The corners of Chu Xin's brows trembled slightly, as if he had woken up.

Chu Xi's fingers slid down Chu Xin's cheeks, and her nails gently scratched his throat, and asked in a cold voice: "A Xin, you have to remember, who is sitting on the dragon chair in this troubled world, whose throat There is a knife lying across the front."

Chu Xin trembled and dared not answer.

Chu Xi's voice was still indifferent, "Leave the rest to my sister, okay?"

Chu Xin opened his eyes slightly, but Chu Xi covered his eyes, "If you want to live, just close your eyes, and my sister will send you to a safe place, so that you will have no worries for the rest of your life."

Chu Xin shrank his body, his voice trembled like a mosquito, "Okay..."

"Ah Xin is dead. A dead person cannot open his eyes or speak." Chu Xi obviously didn't pinch his throat, but to Chu Xin's ears, Chu Xi's voice was strange and familiar, like an invisible rope wrapped around him. cut his throat, and could have killed him at any moment.

Chu Xin closed his eyes in despair.

Besides obeying orders, what else could he, a little puppet emperor, do?

Chu Xi rubbed Chu Xin's throat with satisfaction, where Cao Yang had pinched her bruises, "Don't be afraid, my sister will not hurt you, as long as you are good, my sister can protect you forever."

Chu Xin shivered and nodded silently.

Chu Xi patted him on the back, as if to comfort him to sleep, "Sleep peacefully, when the sun comes up, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

The carriage wheels rolled on the gravel, the bumps were endless, the future was long, Lidu collapsed, it was just the beginning.

At the same time, the spy's Flying Pigeon message spread to the Thousand Spider Building in the suburbs.

The landlord Nie Zhong opened the envelope, his face changed suddenly, his eyes were as dark as the dark night and deep sea.

"Why did that kid Jing Lan suddenly send the eldest princess back?!"

Seeing Nie Zhong like this, the spies beside him knelt down and said repeatedly.

"It's because the subordinates are not good at doing things!"

"The landlord calm down!"

Nie Zhong glanced at these people disappointedly and angrily, "If the eldest princess is allowed to regain power, our Qianzhulou may not be able to gain a foothold in Lidu! I have raised you for so many years, and none of them can do things properly?!"

While talking, another white pigeon flew into the pavilion.

Nie Zhong opened the envelope angrily, and couldn't help gasping, his face became even uglier.

Lidu will fall, and even if the Thousand Spider Tower, which he has worked so hard to manage for most of his life, can survive, it will mean that the many years of management in Lidu have been in vain.Daliang moved the capital to the east, and the old nest of Qianzhulou could only survive beside the ruins of Lidu. Without control over the capital, many things would not be so easy to do.

"Call people!" Nie Zhong gritted his teeth and yelled angrily, but then he thought again, there must be a group of people guarding the eldest princess at this time, and if he rashly attacked the eldest princess, he would be convinced and everyone in the world would condemn him.

"Landlord?" The spies asked hesitantly in a low voice without hearing the words behind them.

Nie Zhong's face was gloomy, "Send out killers, lure Jing Lan away, I want this kid's head!"

"Lord, a girl with a knife appeared in the city today. Judging by her skills, she is by no means an ordinary person." Another spy replied in a low voice.

"The girl with the knife?" Nie Zhong could only think of one person, but then he thought again, Liu Xi should have died in the Liu Family of Xishan, it couldn't be Liu Xi!

"Not bad." The spy said truthfully.

Nie Zhong thought about it for a moment, then said seriously: "To kill this girl together, so as not to cause trouble."

"Yes!" The spy led the order to retreat.

After the spy left, Nie Zhong pondered for a while.

"All of you gather good hands from Qianzhulou, and follow me to invite the eldest princess." Nie Zhong thought, with Qianzhulou's power in Lidu, leaving behind the eldest princess who hastily moved the capital is easy to catch.

With the eldest princess in hand, with the name of the imperial court, he can command Jin Shoujiang to fight north and south. With Jin Shoujiang's ability and prestige, as long as he can win the Wei family, Qianzhulou will be equal to occupying half of the country.

Lidu has undergone great changes, as long as they spread the news in Qianzhulou, whoever wants Jing Lan's death to be blamed will be on whose head.After all, all these years, the news about the sale of Qianzhulou is 100% true news, and occasionally there is a fake one, no one in the world will question it.

Just at this moment, the pavilions of the Thousand Spider Towers trembled suddenly, as if the cow turned over last night, the earth shook and the mountains shook, endlessly.

"Landlord! It's not good... ah!"

The voice of the spies reporting the news stopped abruptly. Nie Zhong reluctantly supported the side of the door and looked out with his head, his face instantly turned extremely pale.
