"What are you doing?"

The soldiers guarding the city did not expect that the civilians who had been helping them hold the city gate would suddenly rebel and open the only remaining wall gates.

"We're just trying to save our lives."

One of the civilians sternly said, "You soldiers, you only think about yourself at all, and you don't care whether we live or die. Of course we have to save ourselves."

"I also saw that you killed many innocent people, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The civilian's words instantly resonated with other civilians, and everyone glared at the soldiers.

"Huh? What's going on here? Why did the city gate suddenly open?"

Wei Yizhi was puzzled.

"My lord, there was news just now. It seems that Mr. Xiao succeeded in persuading the common people in the city, and the common people opened the city gate by themselves."

"Xiao Ling?"

Wei Yizhi couldn't help but gasped.

He really never thought that since Xiao Ling could do this.

"My lord, let's go next..."

"Go in." Wei Yizhi replied resolutely, "This time, we are only allowed to win, not to lose, I know."

"Yes."

Not a moment.

The troops led by Wei Yizhi had successfully entered Jizhou. Along the way, he and Xiao Ling had a tacit understanding to avoid the common people, and only shot at those soldiers who wanted to resist.

Soon, both of them took control of the entire Jizhou.

"Thank you, Xiao Ling."

When Wei Yizhi saw Xiao Ling, he dismounted on the spot and saluted, cupped his hands and said, "If it wasn't for you this time, we wouldn't have entered Jizhou so smoothly."

"Be with each other."

Xiao Ling also got off his horse and returned a salute, "Without your help, it would take a lot of time for me to get the help of the common people."

"Xiao Ling, I, Wei Yizhi, will never forget your kindness for helping me twice."

Wei Yizhi nodded at Xiao Ling, then took the soldiers and horses in his hands, and hurried forward.

"General, I didn't expect Wei Yizhi to say thank you to you."

Li Lie said in surprise.

Wei Yizhi, when he was in the capital, he often heard people say that he was a very proud and arrogant person. Even Xiao Qixuan, the seventh prince back then, was not sure that he could completely control him and get Wei Yizhi's help , but took advantage of that blood relationship.

"General Li, it's too early for you to be surprised. There will be many unexpected things in the future."

Shen Qing proudly said.

……

Royal Palace.

"What? You said that Jizhou was destroyed?" Xiao Qihan shouted in disbelief after hearing the report from the general of the Jizhou army who fled from Jizhou.

"Yes...it's true...please forgive me, Prince..."

The general of the Jizhou army said tremblingly.

"Forgive me?" Qin Yining walked in slowly with a baby in her arms, and said with a smile, "Shouldn't you commit suicide? Why do you still have the face to come back to see us? Could it be that you think you can escape by doing this?" One death?"

"The empress, please forgive me..."

The general of the Jizhou army knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Yining, "The last general was able to defend Jizhou, but he never thought that the Zhennan army and Mr. Pingxi, who have always been at odds, would unite and catch the general by surprise. .”

"A defeat is a defeat."

Qin Yining narrowed his eyes immediately, "No matter how much you say now, it's just sophistry. Someone, come and drag this person out and execute him immediately."

"No...the empress...forgive me...forgive me..."

In the end, under Qin Yining's order, the general of the Jizhou army was forcefully dragged away by the guards.

"Ning'er, now that the food and grass land in Jizhou is gone, what should we do next?" Xiao Qihan looked at Qin Yining helplessly.

"It's gone, it's gone, what are you doing in such a panic?"

Qin Yining casually teased the baby in his arms, and said with a sneer.

This baby is a little brother, the bright flame-like marks on his head are exactly the same as Qin Yining's.

"Ning'er, but in this way, the strength of our army will be greatly impacted. How can we cope with the subsequent battle? Have you ever thought about it? What should we do if the capital is really breached?" Xiao Qihan He said displeased.

"Ah."

Qin Yining still calmly said, "The big deal is death, I'm not worried, what are you worried about? Besides, if they want to kill, they will kill me first, the empress who has caused troubles in the court."

"Ning'er, am I worried about our safety? How can you say that?"

Xiao Qihan realized that there was something wrong with his tone, and immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, and said tactfully.

"You'd better worry about yourself."

Qin Yining said noncommittally, "As for me, you don't need to worry about it, I can tell you directly now, even if they really break into the palace, I am capable of dealing with it."

"Ning'er, aren't you angry? What can a brother like you do?"

"You will know when the time comes."

Qin Yining suddenly smiled slightly at Xiao Qihan, but a hint of impatience and killing intent flashed quickly in his eyes.

"After reporting back to the emperor, the moat outside the capital has entered the final stage of renovation after a year. Please also ask the empress to go over and see if there is anything that needs to be changed."

Suddenly, a report from a small palace man interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Well done, I'll go check it out now."

Qin Yining beamed with joy.

Xiao Qihan who was on the side was very speechless, and didn't understand why Qin Yining had to ask people to spend a whole year rushing to work day and night, and to continue to expand the scope of the already very wide moat.

It's not that Xiao Qihan never asked Qin Yining, but Qin Yining didn't mean to answer at all, and sometimes even directly ignored his existence.

"Prince, please forgive me for speaking too much."

After Qin Yining arrived, Sun Shoujing came out from the dark, cupped his hands and said, "The empress's heart is really too big now, maybe in a short time, even you, the crown prince, will become an abandoned child in the hands of the empress."

"no, I can not……"

Xiao Qihan shook his head without thinking, "Ning'er is so kind to me, not only helped me ascend to the crown prince, but also gave birth to a brother for me, how could she abandon me?"

This is not the first time Sun Shoujing persuaded Xiao Qihan.

No matter what.

Today's Xiao Qihan can't listen to anything at all, and focuses on Qin Yining wholeheartedly, making Sun Shoujing often shake his head and sigh in hatred.

Sun Shoujing doesn't understand, Qin Yining is just a brother, and there are no brothers who are prettier than Qin Yining, why Xiao Qihan is so obsessed with Qin Yining, he is so desperate for Qin Yining, even willing to give up his own right to supervise the country , surrendered to Qin Yining in vain.

"Prince, if you still trust the humble minister, you should properly alienate the empress."

Sun Shoujing reminded neither humble nor overbearing.

"enough."

Xiao Qihan immediately looked at Sun Shoujing with a warning look, and said displeasedly, "I still say that, anyone may harm me, except Ning'er."

"Prince..."

"Master Sun, don't mention this matter again."

moat.

"Empress, can you see if this moat is okay?" An eunuch in charge of supervising the entire project asked repeatedly.

"Very good." Qin Yining nodded, "I want to go down to see the river, you help me hold Huang'er, if there is anything wrong with Huang'er, you can ask."

"Yes Yes……"

The eunuch broke out in cold sweat and took the baby from Qin Yining's hand.

Soon.

Qin Yining went down, reached out to touch the water in the river, and showed a meaningful smile, "Very good, it's really a perfect place to use this place as the final battle."

"Empress, this moat is deep, please be careful and don't get too close."

"It's ok."

Qin Yining shook his head with a smile, and said meaningfully, "The depth of the water is better."

……

After Xiao Ling and the others broke through Jizhou's defense line, it took another half a year to finally return to the capital again.

The forces who came at about the same time as them, as well as the Pingxi Army and the Pingnan Army, plus some feudal states who wanted to take a share of the opportunity, all surrounded the entire capital by coincidence.

The people in the capital were terrified.

At this moment.

The Great Xia Dynasty has come to a state of being torn apart, and it will only be a matter of a blink of an eye if it is about to perish.

"General, we are finally back again." Shen Qing seemed to recall some bad memories, his face was ugly, and his eyes showed some kind of determination.

"Well, this is the last time. This time, we will definitely end it with Qin Yining."

Xiao Ling rubbed Shen Qing's hair knowingly.

"Luozhi, I never thought that we would return to the capital in just a blink of an eye. Tell me, what will be our fate this time?" Xiao Qixuan couldn't help smiling.

"Qixuan, don't force yourself, no matter what happens, Xiaosheng will always be by your side."

Shen Luozhi grabbed Xiao Qixuan's slightly trembling hand.

"Luozhi, I'm just a useless person, I don't deserve your kindness to me."

Xiao Qixuan's heart suddenly beat uncontrollably because of the warmth in his hand, but soon, he restrained his emotions and pulled his hand back.

"Xiaosheng never thought that Qixuan was a useless person. You forgot that in the previous battle, if you hadn't been quick-witted, we would have fallen into the enemy's trap, and I would have died."

Shen Luozhi lowered his head in an instant, staring intently at Xiao Qixuan's out-of-focus eyes.

"maybe……"

Xiao Qixuan fell silent.

Seeing all of this, Shen Yao was annoyed and couldn't help but scratched his hair fiercely.

These two are obviously interested in each other, why don't they dare to directly point out, I am really anxious to death.

"The time has come, let's go to Beijing."

"Yes, General."

With Xiao Ling's big wave of his hand, all the soldiers and generals responded with thick voices, and then gave Xiao Ling a very solemn marching salute.

It means that we will return victorious in this battle.
