Half-dead paulownia

Originally, the sky was clear, but in an instant, it was covered with dark clouds, and the cold wind was howling, messing up the green onions and smoothing the dust.

"I want you to let the two of them go, and then I will obediently go with you." Ling Zining was silent for a moment, and finally revealed his deal.

"Ning'er, you can't." Xiao Jinmo was obviously shocked by Ling Zining's method, and stopped him eagerly: "Zhou Fang, anyway, I'm already in your hands, so I won't play any tricks, you If you take Ling Zining away, let me take it away too, there is no harm in bringing back more hostages, right?"

Zhou Fang glanced at Xiao Jinmo hesitantly. Although what he said was not unreasonable, of course it would be best to bring them all back, but the behavior of the Anling Concubine made him a little helpless.

"I'll say it again for the last time, let them go immediately, and I'll go with you." Ling Zining's tone became a little cold, as if the blood seemed to be flowing more and more wantonly. "Xiao Jinmo, if you don't want me to die immediately, the only way to save me is to take Meng'er and leave here quickly."

Zhou Fang glanced eagerly at the black-clothed man who threatened Xiao Jinmo, and saw him forcefully pushing Xiao Jinmo to Meng'er's side. At this critical moment, Meng'er was still alert. It was already like this, before he had time to think, he pulled Xiao Jinmo over and motioned him to jump on the horse that had escaped its restraint.

"No, I won't keep Ling Zining." Xiao Jinmo looked at Ling Zining with gentle and excited eyes, how could he have the heart to let her sacrifice himself and give the opportunity to Meng'er and himself, not to mention that he is an upright person The seven-foot man.

"Meng'er, take him away!" Knowing how stubborn Xiao Jinmo was, Ling Zining looked anxiously at Meng'er, now that she finally had a chance to escape, she couldn't let it fall by the wayside.

Meng'er nodded vigorously, full of gratitude and respect, the apology and respect she has never felt for Ling Zining at this moment, it seems that all grievances and grievances have been drawn out here, this woman who let her know again, This imperial concubine who made her feel grateful.

He first climbed onto the steed, and then grabbed Xiao Jinmo tightly. After a little effort, he was dragged onto the horse. He didn't seem to struggle much, because he understood Ling Zining's determination at the moment, maybe this is really possible. The only way to save her was to see Ling Zining fall weakly with the sound of horseshoes.

"Meng'er, we can only go back now." Xiao Jinmo knew that the Qingping Gang must have been fully prepared for this battle, and now that Ling Zining is being taken captive again, they must know the news as soon as possible and take precautions in advance.

From the moment Xiao Jinmo and the others left, Anling Yuhao felt a little flustered, blaming himself for being too cautious in everything and not used to listening to others, so did he miss them a little?I can only blame myself for thinking too badly about things, and at such a critical moment, I always think of them involuntarily.

"Report! Batong has new information." An Anling army quickly came to report.

"Speak quickly." Anling Yuhao said impatiently.

"The Qing army in Eight Routes suddenly retreated for some reason, and there is no sign of fighting again." Conveying the situation ahead, and asking for instructions on the next plan.

"Inform Qin Xiangkai not to chase after him, just stay put and stand by for orders, but also be ready to fight at any time, just guard the Eighth Route." Anling Yuhao is not a cruel person, although he was a bit concerned about their sudden retreat. Curious, but I don't want to take advantage of the victory to pursue them. It's good to let them retreat when they face difficulties. Why do they need to kill them all? As long as they don't come again, they won't give the killing order.

Half an hour has passed, and there seems to be no other news from Yulong Pass. It seems that the retreating Qing troops have come to Yulong Pass to support them, and they want to take down Yulong Pass in one go. It seems that this will be the longest A protracted battle.

"Report...Report! There is a situation at Yulongguan, and the little prince needs to decide it himself." Just after the battle of the Eight Routes, there seems to be something wrong with Yulongguan.

"Why are you nervous? Tell me directly if you have anything to say." Li Chaoxi could see some hesitation and nervousness in the Anling Army's words at this moment.

Anling Yuhao once again had an ominous premonition inexplicably.

"The Qing army seems to have a hostage in their hands, and they are using this as a threat to make the Anling army disarm and surrender." Anling army said tremblingly.

"Hostage? Who dares to have such a great qualification to make the entire Anling army admit defeat?" Li Chaoxi's eyes were full of curiosity and disdain.

"Yes...it's Princess Anling." Finally said the truth.

Everyone at the scene was startled by his words, "Impossible, the concubine and Mr. Xiao were sent to a safe place by my love, how could they be caught by the Qingping army? Could it be that they are playing tricks?" Is it fraud?" The military adviser's unbelievable excuse, but in the face of the facts, he suddenly hesitated, "If it is true, could it be that Zhou Ping?"

Before everyone could react, Anling Yuhao had already rushed out of the military tent, mounted his bloody royal horse and galloped away.

(Jade Dragon Pass)

The turquoise simple open-air bamboo sedan chair was gently carried by four burly men. Duguao, who sat comfortably on the sedan chair, closed his eyes slightly. This was his favorite way of contemplation. He felt that if he closed his eyes, he could not see. In the turmoil of this world, looking for the peace in your heart, but you will never find peace of mind.

All the killings had stopped, and the Qing army with him was standing under the gate of Yulong Pass, not in a hurry, as if waiting for the arrival of fate. In front of the bamboo sedan chair was a Qing army. In the prison cart surrounded by layers of soldiers, a woman with a beautiful face was imprisoned with her eyes covered. That was the imperial concubine of Anling Kingdom, Ling Zining.

"Dugu Ao, I really didn't expect that you would use such indecent means to waste your life in acting honestly. I didn't expect that you would be so stubborn." Standing on the tower, Guiyue looked at the somewhat relaxed Dugu Ao, I couldn't help being a little annoyed, I thought this man was different from other bandits, but I didn't expect that they were all the same.

"Princess Anling, hold on a little longer, the little prince will arrive soon." Liu Meng was already fidgeting and looking at Ling Zining in the prison car.

What a delicate body it is, such a graceful and luxurious body, such a sinking fish and a wild goose, it will end up in such a situation, how could Liu Meng, who is loyal to his master, accept it.

"I want to know whether you will surrender or continue?" Dugu Ao didn't seem to care about what they said, and finally said quietly. Although it was not that evil, the aura emanating from such calm words made people shudder even more.

A few Qing troops stood up and pulled Ling Zining fiercely out of the prison car. The blood stains on the neck that hadn't dried up were shining brightly, a little bit painful.

"What should I do with Guiyue, have you notified the little prince? If this drags on, I'm afraid it will be a disaster." Liu Meng looked at Guiyue anxiously. He knew that Duguao and the others were threatening him, and he didn't want to give them too much. Although it is a critical moment, it is the imperial concubine of Anling Kingdom, how to let them make a choice, no matter how they choose, it is a big treason.

"Persevere, I believe the little prince will definitely come." Guiyue comforted.He really believed that Anling Yuhao would come here if he heard the news. Although he didn't have the deepest love for Xiao Jinmo, he was definitely a person who valued love and righteousness, and he would not abandon anyone's life in the future. Regardless.

"I don't have the patience to stay here with you anymore. Seeing that the sky is about to rain, I want to sit in the tower of Yulongguan and drink tea." Duguao looked up at the increasingly dark weather, A sentence with a little deep meaning indicates the action he is about to start.

Suddenly, a ferocious man with a big ring knife came to Ling Zining's side. He had a strong body, dark skin, and a beard all over his face, and he spit a few mouthfuls of saliva in his hand. Then he slashed at Ling Zining, the silence was terrifying for a moment.

"Stop!" Liu Meng suddenly broke the silence. No matter what, they can't hurt Ling Zining for half a minute. Although they haven't thought of any way to delay the time, they can't let their behavior go.

"Why, have you thought it over?" Zhao Shuncheng narrowed his eyes, with a treacherous expression on his face.

"Think it over." At this moment, Liu Meng really had no choice, he quickly walked down the tower, and Guiyue didn't stop him at all. He also knew the critical situation, so he followed Liu Meng down.

Seeing the two generals in Anling's army descending from the tower, Zhao Shuncheng showed a satisfied smile.

Liu Meng and Guiyue finally confronted the Qing army face to face. With such a handle in their hands, how could they have a chance of winning?

"We surrender!" Liu Meng took a deep breath, and finally made a decision, because as long as there is no decision for a moment, Princess Anling will be in danger for a moment.

"Okay, it's really important for women." Zhao Shuncheng's contemptuous tone also made Fifth Master, who was on the sidelines, let out a long breath, as if he was worried about something, and seemed to be looking forward to something, with a resolute face. A bit anxious and restless.

"Siege the city!" Zhao Shuncheng's loud voice spread all around, his triumphant and proud expression seemed to despise everything, and a heart ready to move was growing.

The Anling army seemed completely disappointed, knowing the result they were about to face, but waiting for the wanton killing to no avail, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, but they had to face it helplessly.

"With me, Anling Yuhao, how can you allow you to be arrogant here?" The sudden voice almost lifted everyone's heart, and finally realized the waiting and miracle, and instantly infected the entire Anling army.

"Anling Yuhao, you dare to come?" Duguao stared at Anling Yuhao who was riding a royal horse. He was wearing silver armor and white hair that showed youth. The red gauze covering the eyes is even more eye-catching like fireworks in this pure white.

"All the dignified gang leaders are here, of course I want to do my best as a landlord." Through the red veil, An Ling Yuhao could vaguely see Dugu Ao's sharp eyes, as cold as a wolf in the desert.

"Why are you still covering your eyes? Does Prince Anling suffer from an eye disease?" Zhao Shuncheng seemed to ignore Anling Yuhao at all, and even had a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Even if my eyes suffer from a disease, I'm much better than some people whose hearts are broken, isn't it?" An Ling Yuhao provocatively said.
