Liu Zhen's hair was messed up, and her clothes were messy as she struggled.She was very frightened, as soon as she appeared, she asked Liu Ninghuan for help with her eyes.
Liu Ninghuan looked at Qingling reflexively, his eyes filled with questioning: Didn't I tell you to take good care of Xiaozhen? !
Qingling stood behind Zhao Zhan with low eyebrows and called out, "Master."
Liu Ninghuan came to understand that compared with Zhao Zhan, his entrustment was meaningless.When Zhao Zhan wanted to get information from him, Xiaozhen became the best pawn.
Qingling has learned ten percent of Zhao Zhan's uncompromising methods.
Liu Ninghuan closed her eyes, and said coldly: "It's useless to ask about things I don't know. So what if I threaten a child? I can also show you as A Miao?"
Zhao Zhan smiled coldly, and said: "Even if you are making it up today, you have to make up the whereabouts of A Miaolu. What should I do?" Zhao Zhan paused, glanced at Qingling, and said, "You know what to do. How should I do it?"
Qingling lowered her head even more, and said, "Yes."
Zhao Zhan believed in Qingling very much, so he took a group of people and waited away, coughing a few times before leaving.Liu Ninghuan's heart was peaceful——Zhao Zhan had been suffering from a strange poison since he was a child, and according to the rhythm of the story, it was almost time to get sick.
Only Qing Ling and Liu Zhen were left.Qingling handed Liu Zhen to her subordinates, and then walked towards Liu Ninghuan.
Qingling held Liu Ninghuan's arm and said, "I'm offended. Take them to the dungeon."
Going to jail again... Liu Ninghuan felt uncomfortable in this position, so he said, "Let me go! It's all like this, and I won't run away!"
Qing Ling let go of the hand that pushed her shoulder, and lifted the humiliating posture of being escorted.But Qingling didn't let go of her hand. When the guards pressed Liu Zhen to walk in front, she just held Liu Ninghuan's hand and walked forward together.
Liu Ninghuan felt extremely awkward, so she didn't shake it off, so she let her go.
In the dungeon, Liu Zhen was hung up by her wrists. The rope was hung so high that Liu Zhen had to stand on tiptoe to reach the ground.
Liu Ninghuan was tied to a chair and couldn't move at all.
Liu Ninghuan said: "What are you going to do? You put Xiaozhen down."
Qing Ling said: "You also know the weight of the son's order. As long as you tell me where A Mulu has gone, I will let Liu Zhen go."
Liu Ninghuan said, "It was you who told me where Amulu was being held!"
"It's me," Qingling said in a low voice, "but the young master gave the order."
Liu Ninghuan was silent for a moment, and slowly understood what Qingling meant.
Qingling asked Liu Ninghuan if she didn't want to see A Miaolu get arrested, and Liu Ninghuan answered yes.Perhaps Qingling did have feelings for Liu Ninghuan, so she informed Amulu where she was being held.This is one thing, but under Zhao Zhan's order, asking about the current whereabouts of A Miaolu is another.
In Qingling's eyes, Zhao Zhan's priority is always higher than Liu Ninghuan's... No, it is higher than anyone else.
Liu Ninghuan's body slowly cooled down, and then said: "I don't know where she is."
Qingling obviously didn't believe it, she shook her head and walked towards Liu Ninghuan, saying, "Now it's Liu Zhen, if you don't tell me, you will turn into Shi Zhen after a while."
Liu Ninghuan widened his eyes and said, "You!"
"In your eyes, is it true that a cheap cousin is more important than a biological daughter?" Qing Ling said, hanging Liu Zhen's rope higher.
Liu Zhen could hardly reach the ground even if she stood on tiptoe, her face was flushed and she looked uncomfortable.But compared to the pain, Liu Zhen was more shocked. "My own daughter... what do you mean?"
Liu Ninghuan glanced at Liu Zhen, before she had time to appease the little friend, she glared at Qingling and said, "You let her down, can't you see how uncomfortable she is!"
Qingling said: "The clues of Amulu and how she was rescued. Who else is helping you?"
Amulu's safety is one thing, and more importantly, Liu Ninghuan doesn't want to expose the maid.She had no choice but to say nothing, just looked at Amulu, and said, "You said earlier that your body and mind are mine, and that's how you 'belong' to me? How can I trust you if you don't listen to me?"
"You've already seen the means of organization. If you don't want Liu Zhen to experience those things, you'd better confess, Ning Huan." When she called Ning Huan, Qing Ling's expression turned out to be affectionate, "Liu Zhen may not have You are so lucky to be able to resurrect your soul with a dead body."
Xiaozhen was already stunned, and muttered to the side: "Borrowing the corpse to return the soul..."
Ning Huan.biological daughter.If there is a sense of familiarity.Could it be...
Qingling's two words aroused the deepest fear in Liu Ninghuan's heart. The torture she experienced when she just crossed over was replayed in her mind, and it was reflected in her body.Liu Ninghuan felt pain all over her body, from her bones to her hair, as if those pains were happening all over again.
Pain is the survival instinct of human beings, no matter how crazy Liu Ninghuan is, it is impossible to fight against the instinct.Cold sweat ran down her forehead, and at the same time she realized that she was really afraid of Qingling from the bottom of her heart.She may have never really loved Qing Ling wholeheartedly.
Qingling said: "If you don't tell me, there are other ways to find out. Don't hold on, seeing your own daughter suffer in front of you, don't you really feel pain?"
Liu Ninghuan turned her head away, not wanting to look at Xiaozhen.Qingling grabbed her hair and forced her to look at Xiaozhen.The shock in Xiaozhen's eyes gradually receded, and now it has become a little stunned, a little unbelievable.
Liu Ninghuan had a very strange feeling in her heart: as Qing Ling said, even if she insisted on not saying anything, Qing Ling must have other ways to dig it out.Why did she have to torture her to extract a confession in this way?There is also the word "biological daughter" that appears twice... Is it too deliberate?
This thought just flashed by, without leaving a deep impression in Liu Ninghuan's mind.Because at this time she has more important things to deal with.
Xiaozhen looked at her deeply, shed tears after a while, and said, "Mom, is that you..."
Liu Ninghuan subconsciously said, "No." I'm still young, and I don't have a daughter like you.
Xiaozhen shook her head and said, "Mom, so you're not dead..."
Qingling nodded lightly, and said, "Borrowing a dead body to bring back the soul, I didn't expect such a thing to happen until I saw it with my own eyes."
Liu Ninghuan was still denying it, but her voice was louder: "I'm not!" She didn't know why she denied it, but she just felt that since Qingling tried her best to prove this point, she had to go against Qingling.Qing Ling is also the kind of person who is calculating, Liu Ninghuan has no idea what Qing Ling wants to do.
It's a pity that her vehement denial didn't work, Xiaozhen cried even harder, and said, "Mother, you said you would pick me up to the capital, and you said you would find me a stepfather, you don't even remember ?"
Liu Ninghuan shook her head desperately, Qing Ling's eyes gradually darkened.
However, after getting along with her for this period of time, Xiaozhen firmly believed in the motherhood she felt.She didn't know why her mother didn't want to recognize herself, so she broke down and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! You don't want me anymore!"
In the crying, Xiaozhen shared a lot of common memories of the two.Liu Ninghuan didn't know at all, and looked at Xiaozhen with a bewildered expression.
During this exchange, Qingling didn't ask about Amulu's whereabouts, but stood quietly aside, observing the expressions of the two of them carefully.
At this time, expressions and micro-movements cannot be faked.
When Xiaozhen was hoarse and her throat became hoarse, a person suddenly ran outside and said out of breath, "Miss Qingling, things have changed! You are welcome!"
"What happened?" After Qingling finished asking, before the man could answer, she said immediately: "Don't talk about it now, wait until I finish dealing with the matter here."
Qingling ordered Liu Ninghuan to be imprisoned in another room, and she followed behind the jailer. Seeing Liu Ninghuan was stunned, she took a deep look at her, turned and left.
Liu Ninghuan looked at her back coldly, and said, "Zhao Zhan asked you to torture A Miaolu's whereabouts, and you just asked about it? Are you not afraid that Zhao Zhan will punish you?"
Qingling stopped in her tracks but did not turn around. She said, "Punishment? Seeing a charm or something else?" She smiled slightly and said, "So what, I'm not afraid."
After saying this, Qingling left quickly, leaving Liu Ninghuan alone in the depths of the dungeon.
Liu Ninghuan's heart moved, she inexplicably felt that Qing Ling's tone just now was not right, she didn't seem like a loyal lackey who... ordered and prohibited.Not afraid?Isn't Qingling afraid of seeing charms?
Qing Ling returned to Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen had suffered a huge shock, and she hadn't fully reacted yet, her expression was blank, and she fell into deep thought.
Qing Ling asked Liu Zhen to be put down, and then looked into her eyes.
Liu Zhen finally came back to her senses and said, "This is the secret you said you wanted to tell me earlier?"
Qingling said: "How about this secret? Do you think she is your mother?"
Liu Zhen shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know..."
Qing Ling pinched Liu Zhen's shoulder and said word by word: "You must give me an answer."
Liu Zhen grabbed her hair with both hands and said, "But I can't figure it out. Why did she lie to me? Why did she pretend not to understand? Is she protecting me? Tell me, is she protecting me?!"
When Liu Zhen asked this question, it was equivalent to giving an answer.Qingling frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
Still panicking, Liu Zhen said, "I don't know...I really don't know!"
It was no longer possible to get effective information from Liu Zhen, so Qingling stood up and walked out of the cell expressionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.The person who reported the letter just now was still waiting, and when he saw her, he saluted and said, "Miss Qingling."
Qing Ling said, "What does the young master say?"
"Young Master said, there is no need to torture him, because the target has already appeared." The messenger said: "In addition, someone is attacking the city, and the city gate is about to be broken. Young Master ordered you to quickly support!"
When Zhao Zhan conspired with Shaobu, he had already secretly plotted against Chen Cang and deployed many elite Altai soldiers outside the capital.
Unexpectedly, Schaub insisted on sneaking into the palace on impulse, which caused unexpected consequences.Although this matter made Zhao Zhan's road to the throne a little smoother, it also created a loophole, allowing the group of people to fall into the hands of A Miaolu.
A Miaolu is also impulsive, she has a great obsession with Liu Ninghuan, plus Liu Ninghuan sent someone to rescue her, she feels that she has the responsibility to get Liu Ninghuan out of Zhao Zhan's clutches rescued.
Although the bigger reason was that she couldn't tolerate Zhao Zhan marrying Liu Ninghuan.Thinking of someone possessing Liu Ninghuan, she became mad with jealousy!
In the previous action of robbing relatives, Amulu had already used Zhao Zhan's hand to get rid of those who did not trust her.This time she escaped again, and with the few remaining cronies, she led the army secretly stationed not far from the capital.As long as everyone agrees, it doesn't matter what the truth is.
This army has a large number of people and complete equipment. I don't know how Zhao Zhan and Shaobu built it.But at this time, it became Amulu's spear.
Amulu led the army and rushed towards the capital at an extremely fast speed.Earlier, in order to arrest A Miaolu, Zhao Zhan dispatched a large number of people to the "marriage road".It takes time for the water droplets to re-merge into the river and sea.During this process, Amulu had a time difference and after a lot of effort, finally broke through the gate of the capital.
This is why Zhao Zhan hastily summoned Qing Ling: A Miao Lu climbed up the watchtower in a grand manner, waving a blood-dyed banner.This move caused greater panic than the breach of the city gate. The common people were terrified offline, and several stampedes had already occurred.Rumors of national ruin and family destruction spread everywhere. Even if Zhao Zhan expelled A Miulu's army, the psychological shadow caused to the entire ethnic group this time is unknown when it will be smoothed over.
Zhao Zhan was very angry, looking at the soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of him.These soldiers were brought back directly from the border by her, and they were important confidantes.They have made achievements in marching and fighting, but they are useless at this moment: the city is extremely chaotic, the people are mixed with the enemy army, they are used to killing the enemy boldly, and now they are a little restrained.
Qingling came quickly, knelt on the ground as soon as she arrived, and said, "Master, are you worried about the three-party melee in the city?"
Zhao Zhan said, "Oh?"
Qing Ling said: "Qing Ling may have a plan."
……
When Mu Shan appeared in the cell and brought Liu Ninghuan out of the dungeon, Liu Ninghuan was very surprised.
Liu Ninghuan asked her with wide eyes, "Why did you appear here?"
Mu Shan untied Liu Ninghuan, and said to her: "The gate of the city has been broken, and soldiers of the Altaic tribe are pouring into the city. I am afraid that someone will attack the Ninth Prince's Mansion soon. I am under the order of Miss Qingling to protect your safety. The princess cooperates, don't take the opportunity to escape. In this city, there may not be anyone who can protect you except me."
After Mu Shan said so much at once, Liu Ninghuan realized that the situation was critical, and said, "The city gate is broken? Is it Amulu? What's going on under Qingling's order?"
While dragging Liu Ninghuan out, Mu Shan said: "The princess let the tiger go back to the mountain, and A Miaolu led the army to the city. After the city was broken, there was chaos in the city, and the garrison fought against rats and were restrained everywhere. Miss Qingling figured out a way and successfully captured Only when all the people gather in one place can the garrison show its strength. Therefore, the Ninth Prince entrusts the full power of defense to Miss Qingling. Miss Qingling asked me to protect you," Mu Shan looked at Liu deeply at this point. Ning Huan glanced at him and said, "Say you are still useful to the Ninth Prince."
Liu Ninghuan always felt that the half-sentence that Mu Shan added later had some implication, which made her think it was meaningful.But she didn't have time to take this feeling into consideration, she just said: "There is a little girl named Liu Zhen in the cell, where is she? What about the father, the queen, and the queen?"
Mu Shan had dragged Liu Ninghuan out of the dungeon at this time, and when he got to the ground, he could smell a strong smell of blood. People were fighting, corpses were strewn across the field, and wailing burst out.
Liu Ninghuan is a good young man in the 21st century. He has only seen this kind of scene on TV, and he is so timid that he must cover the screen with his hands.Witnessing the hand-to-hand combat scene at this moment, she was stunned for a moment, and her next reaction was to vomit.
She bent down and pinched her own neck, retched a few times but didn't spit out anything.A flaming arrow shot through the air, Mu Shan grabbed Liu Ninghuan by the collar and pulled her away to escape.
Mu Shan said: "I'm offended." Then he reached out and pinched Liu Ninghuan under his arm, and left the Ninth Prince's Mansion by flying over the eaves and walls.
Mu Shan took Liu Ninghuan all the way to the end of a secluded alley.Liu Ninghuan still wanted to vomit, but tried her best to suppress the discomfort, and stretched her neck to look.
Not far away, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was on fire, thick smoke was billowing, and the cries had already reached here.Liu Ning said happily, "Can all the servants escape?"
Mu Shan said: "The Ninth Prince's Mansion has been captured by the Altai people. If you are lucky enough, you can escape part of it."
Liu Ninghuan tremblingly asked: "This...is it all done by A Mulu?"
Mu Shan was silent for a moment, but did not answer the question.After a while, he said, "Amulu is searching the whole city for the whereabouts of the princess."
Liu Ninghuan was also silent.
Resting on the spot for a while, Mu Shan took Liu Ninghuan to another position and arrived at a deserted temple.The temple was extremely dilapidated, full of people, and it was impossible to settle down.Liu Ninghuan struggled to find a place to sit down, and then heard Mu Shan explain: "This is the refugee camp set up by the princess not long ago. I didn't expect it to play a role at this time."
Liu Ninghuan asked Mu Shan: "How is the capital? Will it be destroyed?"
Mu Shan said: "The reason for falling into this predicament is that the people are chaotic and helpless. After Miss Qing Ling used a clever plan to evacuate the people, things became easier. But the military defenses on both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the result may be a mixed bag. Potential."
Liu Ninghuan asked: "We three?"
Mu Shan looked at Liu Ninghuan with the eyes of a fool, and Liu Ninghuan felt relieved: "It's okay, it's okay... Aren't you good at marching and fighting, why don't you participate in the battle, but are stuck here?"
Mu Shan clenched his fists tightly, "There are frequent border wars, I should actually be on the way to the border..."
Doesn't she want to join the fight?But Qingling said that Liu Ninghuan was very important, and Mu Shan had to obey unless Mu Shan was arranged to protect Liu Ninghuan.
Liu Ninghuan could hear Mu Shan's frustration, so he didn't speak any more.
……
A Miaolu's eyes turned red, and she asked her subordinates, "Have you found anyone yet?"
The subordinate said: "I have never seen the woman in the portrait..."
A Mulu said: "Look it up for me! If you can't find the Ninth Prince's Mansion, go to the palace! If you can't find it in the palace, go to the city to look for it! There are only so many women in total, I still don't believe I can't find them!"
A Miaolu knelt on the ground in front of the old and the weak, women and children, all crying.Unable to hear the voice, Amulu kicked a girl in front of her and said, "Don't cry! I'll kill anyone who cries! Lift up your heads and let me take a closer look at your faces! Who knew she Is it hidden in your eyes!"
A Miaolu's fierce eyes flicked across several people in front of her one by one, but there was no sign of Liu Ninghuan as expected.Amiaolu was furious. After a while, she narrowed her eyes, showing a vicious expression, and said, "Tie them to the street. Zhao Zhan wants to defend the city. Let's use them as shields to see if Zhao Guo dares to shoot arrows!"
……
The main streets of the capital are in a mess. The peddlers and pedestrians of the past have long since disappeared. There are only ruins and walls everywhere. If you walk a few more steps, you can even see stumps and broken arms.
The Altai people walked arrogantly on the street. In front of them was a row of innocent people tied together and acting as a human wall.The people had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths, sobbing and unable to speak.The leading general beat gongs and drums and shouted loudly: "Hand over Zhao Ninghuan!"
The soldiers guarding the city asked their superiors worriedly: "They treat the common people like this! Now we can't attack hard, and we dare not use bows and arrows. What should we do?!"
Qing Ling gritted her teeth and said nothing.
……
Liu Ninghuan heard the sound of gongs and drums from a distance, as if there was a human voice, but she couldn't hear what the man was saying.She curiously asked the refugees around: "Is anyone listening clearly?"
All the refugees shook their heads, but Mu Shan was the only one who had eyesight and hearing, and his face turned livid.
Liu Ninghuan grabbed Mu Shan and asked: "What's going on outside, do you know?" Mu Shan didn't want to say, Liu Ninghuan urged: "Say it!"
Mu Shan thought briefly for a moment, finally lowered his head, and whispered a few words to Liu Ning.
Liu Ninghuan showed an unacceptable angry expression, stood up abruptly and ran outside: "How could she do this!"
Mu Shan called her to stop, his eyes were iron: "Could it be that you want to throw yourself into a trap?"
Only then did Liu Ninghuan come to his senses, stopped in his tracks, and said, "But..."
Mu Shan said: "No, but. War is like this, blood against blood, flesh against flesh. Do you think you can change anything by rushing out? Nothing can be changed."
Liu Ninghuan said: "Didn't you say [-]% off? Why is Amulu so arrogant?"
Mu Shan closed his eyes, showing a helpless expression, and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is a possibility of a narrow escape, let alone three or seven? What's more, they have really done something..."
Mu Shan muttered to himself: "If I can play at this time...if you can give me some soldiers..."
When Liu Ninghuan heard Mu Shan's words, he paused, and unconsciously put his fingers into his belt, touching the edge of the hard token.
Shi Chan said that this token can command an army of 5000 men.Shi Tan also said that the army could reach the capital within half a day by water.
Liu Ninghuan held the token in the palm of his hand, as if he had made a decision, he walked towards Mu Shan resolutely.
After taking two steps, he was held down by a hand.Liu Ninghuan was taken aback, and saw a woman wearing a hood and bowing her head in front of her.The woman slowly raised her head and gave Liu Ninghuan a look.
Liu Ninghuan was stunned, and said softly, "Cousin?!"
"Hush," Shi Qian made a silent gesture, and said, "I'm hiding here, and no one knows about it. You look normal, don't let Mu Shan find out."
Mu Shan sat there thinking about something, and didn't notice the little interaction here.
Shi Qian pinched Liu Ninghuan's palm and asked, "What do you want to do? Are you going to give the hole card to the enemy?"
Liu Ninghuan said: "If the capital is captured, then what's the use of my cards?"
Shi Tan said, "Aren't you worried that she's lying to you?"
Liu Ninghuan was silent for a while, then said: "No."
Just now Mu Shan muttered to himself, it was indeed a routine.If the person who did that was Qing Ling or Qiu Xin, Liu Ninghuan would be skeptical.But that's Mu Shan... Mu Shan is pure and firm, and he doesn't bother to use these methods.Liu Ninghuan knew all the characters, and thus Mu Shan.
Liu Ninghuan was so categorical, but Shi Tan let go instead.
Liu Ninghuan approached Mu Shan step by step, calling her name: "Po Yue, I have something to tell you."
……
A Miaolu's army is aggressive, and they don't treat the people of Zhao State as human beings, and their methods are cruel and inferior.
Zhao Guo's army has to worry about the people, buildings, and various post-war reconstruction matters, and it seems a little restrained.The Altai army only needs to burn, kill, and loot. The more the capital is destroyed, the more afraid the people are, and the more "happy" they are.Relying on this "advantage", Amu Lufang faintly gained the upper hand.
A Miaolu also searched out many places where the common people were hiding. After searching one by one, Liu Ninghuan was not found, but the emperor and empress were found.
The emperor and empress were dressed in the clothes of grass-roots people, and looked exhausted.Amulu asked them to kneel in front of her and said, "No one thought that such a day would come."
Compared with panic, the queen's face was more exhausted.The accidents experienced in the past few days may be greater than the accidents she has experienced in her entire life.Her heart was ashamed, and she had already escaped into Buddhism emotionally, so seeing Amulu with her teeth and claws bared like this, her heart didn't fluctuate at all.
A Miaolu said, "Where is Zhao Ninghuan? Is she with you?"
The emperor's hair was more than half white, and he looked very old. He said: "Because you were let go, Ning'er was interrogated by Zhan'er in prison. Since then, we have lost contact with Ning'er. After the city was broken, more I don't know her whereabouts."
The queen said coolly from the side: "Your army is so cruel, I'm afraid they are dead."
Angrily, Amulu pinched the queen's neck and said, "Why do you say that! If you have the guts, say it again!"
The queen was forced to look at her, and laughed heartlessly upon hearing this.She could see it clearly, as long as she has power, everyone will become the same, irritable, ruthless and loveless.The emperor, Zhao Zhan, and Amulu are all like this. They don't really fall in love with someone, but they are only possessive and controlling.The queen couldn't help but said, "I said she's dead."
The queen is also very worried about Liu Ninghuan's safety, but the way she faces her worry is to look directly at it, not to avoid it.
The emperor pushed Amulu away and said, "If you are worried, go find it!"
Amulu was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, we should look for it."
Amulu found a tall parade float and tied the emperor and queen to it.She repeated the same trick, letting the float lead the way, while her soldiers stood guard behind, and at the same time sent someone to shout to the whole city.
"The emperor and empress are in my hands! If you want to save their lives, you can exchange them with a live Princess Pingzhen! If you don't see Princess Pingzhen by [-]:[-] p.m., please come to Caishikou to watch us kill the emperor!"
Such humiliation with great fanfare can be heard in half of the urban area occupied by the Altai army.But the sound spread far, and after a while, all the people who were hiding heard it.
Zhao Zhan and General Chen who were stationed at the base camp also got the news soon.
General Chen was furious and said, "I'm going to save the emperor!"
Zhao Zhan didn't care about the emperor in her heart, and she even hoped that the emperor would die in the war, so that she could inherit the throne in a legitimate way.But she knew General Chen's loyalty, so she said, "How many remaining troops are there?"
Someone next to him will report the current situation.
"There are still too few soldiers..." Zhao Zhan sighed, but then said: "Order to rectify! All available soldiers at present are all under the command of General Chen, and the emperor must be rescued!"
General Chen looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, he just sighed.
The two armies were at war and had already entered a rest period.But Amulu moved out the emperor and tried his best to humiliate Zhao Jun, who was enraged and his morale was high.
General Chen is a veteran of using troops, and has fought several cases of winning more with less.In addition, he has a deeper understanding of the capital than Amuru, so even with a smaller force, he can barely fight the Altai army.
War is the most uncontrollable. After the war, all plans will no longer work. Winning or losing is only in the hands of the soldiers, in every fist-to-hand confrontation.
When General Chen heard the battle report, he gradually frowned.He used fire to attack, as long as the direction of the wind was not so tricky, he would definitely be able to defeat the Altai army.It's a pity that the sky didn't follow people's wishes, and the wind came from the direction he least wanted to see. Not only did the fire he set have no effect, but it hindered Zhao Jun from moving forward.
A sense of sadness welled up in his chest, and his beard trembled slightly.He thought: Is the sky going to kill me, Dazhao?
At this moment, a messenger ran over at the fastest speed, knelt on the ground excitedly, and said: "Report! An army appeared outside the city! It was led by Mu Shan...Mu Shan Centurion! They are now fighting with The Altaic army is fighting! The Altaic army is in disarray!"
Mu Shan's official position is quite low, just a mere centurion.But she led half a thousand horses to appear like this, which was a great help to Zhao Jun who was defending the city.
General Chen lifted his spirits, and at the same time, he was puzzled: "Mu Shan? Where did Mu Shan's soldiers come from?"
……
Where did Mu Shan's soldiers come from? This question also troubled Amulu.
"The army that suddenly appeared, waving the flag with the word 'Yang'! I'm afraid, it may be someone from King Yangxi!" A subordinate who knew a little bit about the inside story reported: "The general at the head is Zhao Zhan's confidant!"
A Miaolu said: "Prince Yangxi is close to the Shi family. Could this army be related to Zhao Ninghuan!"
Her eyes lit up. King Yangxi was the son of the sworn brother of the former emperor. Because he could not be favored by the current emperor, he was dispatched to remote mountainous areas early, and his life was hard and difficult.The Shi family donated a lot of money and opened many businesses in the Yangxi area. The Yangxi area gradually became rich, and the King of Yangxi had a close personal relationship with the Shi family. It was one of the few troops that Zhao Ninghuan had access to.
This army must have been prepared by Zhao Ninghuan. If it wasn't for her or King Yangxi himself, no one could command it.It is absolutely impossible for King Yangxi to cooperate with "Zhao Zhan's cronies", which means that Zhao Ninghuan is still alive.
At this time, A Miaolu didn't care about why Liu Ninghuan did something to her, she just wanted to find Liu Ninghuan herself, and then take her out of the capital.
A Miaolu ordered: "Pass my order, everyone must not love to fight, we retreat. Pay attention to search all streets when retreating, if you find Zhao Ninghuan, be sure to send a message!"
"Wolf smoke..." As soon as the wolf smoke came out, wouldn't the position be exposed to Zhao Jun?
Amulu looked at the confidant, and said coldly: "What are you dissatisfied with?"
The confidant hurriedly said: "Don't dare!"
……
And Liu Ninghuan, whom Ah Miao was thinking about, was following Mu Shan in the Yangxi army.
When Mu Shan gave orders, Liu Ninghuan sat quietly watching.There are several people who are responsible for "protecting" her, and they don't leave every step, even following her to go to the toilet.
There was no dissatisfaction on Liu Ninghuan's face, but Mu Shan was in a complicated mood.
This is the army that Liu Ninghuan handed over to Mu Shan. Mu Shan's command is to better protect the Zhao country, and Mu Shan feels it should be taken for granted.But these soldiers are also Liu Ninghuan's people, and he used Liu Ninghuan's people to monitor Liu Ninghuan, wouldn't Liu Ninghuan think too much?
Mu Shan said: "If I'm not wrong, this is the princess' last reliance. Just take it out like this, won't you be unwilling?"
Liu Ninghuan looked at Mu Shan with calm and indifferent eyes, and said, "I saw that scene, how could I remain indifferent?" What she was talking about was the chaos and bloodshed she saw when she was taken away from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Mu Shan stopped talking.
"Report! The Altai army is dispersing and blending into the crowd! It seems to be retreating!"
Mu Shan's expression froze, and he said, "Block! If you enter the gate of the capital of my Great Zhao Kingdom, then leave them all to me!"
"Not far away is a small team, shuttling between the alleys, sneaking around, as if looking for something!"
"Chasing." Mu Shan said in a deep voice.
Since you hit the tip of the knife, don't blame me for being rude.
The group of people who hit the knife point were Amulu and her cronies, as well as the emperor and queen.These two people may be of great use at critical moments, and it is impossible for her to leave them.
His subordinates received a report that someone had seen a suspected figure of Liu Ninghuan in a refugee camp in the suburbs.At this moment, Amulu suddenly realized: that refugee camp was rescued by Liu Ninghuan, and it should have been investigated early tomorrow.
She ordered the soldiers to retreat, but she took a small team of elites to check, but when she got there, the building was already empty.Seeing the remnants there, Amulu was even more sure that Liu Ninghuan had stayed here before.
It turned out to be here...why didn't I think of it?
Amulu was angry and wanted to take someone away.
As soon as I turned around, I heard the sound of horseshoes a block away.
The hoofbeats sounded gradually, and the men said, "Someone is chasing us."
Amulu said, "Run!"
She dragged the emperor and queen, climbed over the wall and hid in a small courtyard.
After a while, Mu Shan arrived with his troops, but at the same time there was another voice.
A Miaolu clicked on the dumb acupoint of the emperor and empress, and then listened to the conversation outside through the wall.
Zhao Zhan said, "Are you sure that Amulu is here?"
One person replied: "Our people watched her approach this alley, but it is unknown which house she entered."
Mu Shan said, "Ninth Prince, why are you here?"
Zhao Zhan said: "My people found that A Miaolu took his father and mother into this alley, and I brought people to investigate. What about you, why are you here?"
Mu Shan said, "Same."
Liu Ninghuan's voice was raised a lot: "Father and Queen Mother are in the hands of A Miaolu?! What's going on?!"
She and Mu Shan had been away for a while, so she didn't know that A Miao Lu took the emperor and queen hostage to force Zhao Zhan to hand over her affairs.
When Amulu heard this voice, her heart moved.It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.But both Zhao Zhan and Mu Shan are here, how can I escape with Liu Ninghuan...
While Amulu was thinking, the queen whose acupuncture points had been tapped suddenly fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
The conversation outside the wall quickly stopped, and the outside became silent.But Amulu knew that they were hiding their whereabouts and were approaching him.
Amulu pulls out a scimitar and presses it against the queen's neck.She knew that Liu Ninghuan cared more about the queen, and the fact that the queen made a noise also made Amulu feel angry.
Another subordinate supported the emperor in the same posture, and the two slowly retreated into the house.
This is what Liu Ninghuan saw when he stepped into the small courtyard.She yelled "Mom and Dad" and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Mu Shan.
Zhao Zhan said: "After letting go of father and mother, I can still let you live."
A Miaolu said: "The way of life? I came out of the way of life by myself, and I don't need you to keep it. It's okay if I let them go. Give me Zhao Ninghuan."
Liu Ninghuan said, "You..."
Amulu said: "Go back to Altai with me, I will marry you as my concubine, and I will treat you well."
Zhao Zhan said: "Impossible, the imperial sister is the princess of my Great Zhao, which symbolizes the dignity of my Great Zhao."
Amulu said viciously: "Then I will kill the dog emperor!"
She was so excited that the scimitar in her hand was cut a little deeper, blood slowly oozing from the queen's neck.Liu Ninghuan said in shock: "Don't hurt the queen mother!"
A Miaolu said: "Zhao Zhan, the emperor and Zhao Ninghuan, how do you choose? Are you going to let the emperor die in front of so many people? Although he is not your biological father, I didn't expect that you would not even make a false appearance. maintained."
Amulu simply told the secret of the palace, and successfully heard a gasp.Zhao Zhan didn't respond, but Liu Ninghuan was already in tears.
"Zhao Ninghuan, what about you? Your mother's security guard
Liu Ninghuan looked at Qingling reflexively, his eyes filled with questioning: Didn't I tell you to take good care of Xiaozhen? !
Qingling stood behind Zhao Zhan with low eyebrows and called out, "Master."
Liu Ninghuan came to understand that compared with Zhao Zhan, his entrustment was meaningless.When Zhao Zhan wanted to get information from him, Xiaozhen became the best pawn.
Qingling has learned ten percent of Zhao Zhan's uncompromising methods.
Liu Ninghuan closed her eyes, and said coldly: "It's useless to ask about things I don't know. So what if I threaten a child? I can also show you as A Miao?"
Zhao Zhan smiled coldly, and said: "Even if you are making it up today, you have to make up the whereabouts of A Miaolu. What should I do?" Zhao Zhan paused, glanced at Qingling, and said, "You know what to do. How should I do it?"
Qingling lowered her head even more, and said, "Yes."
Zhao Zhan believed in Qingling very much, so he took a group of people and waited away, coughing a few times before leaving.Liu Ninghuan's heart was peaceful——Zhao Zhan had been suffering from a strange poison since he was a child, and according to the rhythm of the story, it was almost time to get sick.
Only Qing Ling and Liu Zhen were left.Qingling handed Liu Zhen to her subordinates, and then walked towards Liu Ninghuan.
Qingling held Liu Ninghuan's arm and said, "I'm offended. Take them to the dungeon."
Going to jail again... Liu Ninghuan felt uncomfortable in this position, so he said, "Let me go! It's all like this, and I won't run away!"
Qing Ling let go of the hand that pushed her shoulder, and lifted the humiliating posture of being escorted.But Qingling didn't let go of her hand. When the guards pressed Liu Zhen to walk in front, she just held Liu Ninghuan's hand and walked forward together.
Liu Ninghuan felt extremely awkward, so she didn't shake it off, so she let her go.
In the dungeon, Liu Zhen was hung up by her wrists. The rope was hung so high that Liu Zhen had to stand on tiptoe to reach the ground.
Liu Ninghuan was tied to a chair and couldn't move at all.
Liu Ninghuan said: "What are you going to do? You put Xiaozhen down."
Qing Ling said: "You also know the weight of the son's order. As long as you tell me where A Mulu has gone, I will let Liu Zhen go."
Liu Ninghuan said, "It was you who told me where Amulu was being held!"
"It's me," Qingling said in a low voice, "but the young master gave the order."
Liu Ninghuan was silent for a moment, and slowly understood what Qingling meant.
Qingling asked Liu Ninghuan if she didn't want to see A Miaolu get arrested, and Liu Ninghuan answered yes.Perhaps Qingling did have feelings for Liu Ninghuan, so she informed Amulu where she was being held.This is one thing, but under Zhao Zhan's order, asking about the current whereabouts of A Miaolu is another.
In Qingling's eyes, Zhao Zhan's priority is always higher than Liu Ninghuan's... No, it is higher than anyone else.
Liu Ninghuan's body slowly cooled down, and then said: "I don't know where she is."
Qingling obviously didn't believe it, she shook her head and walked towards Liu Ninghuan, saying, "Now it's Liu Zhen, if you don't tell me, you will turn into Shi Zhen after a while."
Liu Ninghuan widened his eyes and said, "You!"
"In your eyes, is it true that a cheap cousin is more important than a biological daughter?" Qing Ling said, hanging Liu Zhen's rope higher.
Liu Zhen could hardly reach the ground even if she stood on tiptoe, her face was flushed and she looked uncomfortable.But compared to the pain, Liu Zhen was more shocked. "My own daughter... what do you mean?"
Liu Ninghuan glanced at Liu Zhen, before she had time to appease the little friend, she glared at Qingling and said, "You let her down, can't you see how uncomfortable she is!"
Qingling said: "The clues of Amulu and how she was rescued. Who else is helping you?"
Amulu's safety is one thing, and more importantly, Liu Ninghuan doesn't want to expose the maid.She had no choice but to say nothing, just looked at Amulu, and said, "You said earlier that your body and mind are mine, and that's how you 'belong' to me? How can I trust you if you don't listen to me?"
"You've already seen the means of organization. If you don't want Liu Zhen to experience those things, you'd better confess, Ning Huan." When she called Ning Huan, Qing Ling's expression turned out to be affectionate, "Liu Zhen may not have You are so lucky to be able to resurrect your soul with a dead body."
Xiaozhen was already stunned, and muttered to the side: "Borrowing the corpse to return the soul..."
Ning Huan.biological daughter.If there is a sense of familiarity.Could it be...
Qingling's two words aroused the deepest fear in Liu Ninghuan's heart. The torture she experienced when she just crossed over was replayed in her mind, and it was reflected in her body.Liu Ninghuan felt pain all over her body, from her bones to her hair, as if those pains were happening all over again.
Pain is the survival instinct of human beings, no matter how crazy Liu Ninghuan is, it is impossible to fight against the instinct.Cold sweat ran down her forehead, and at the same time she realized that she was really afraid of Qingling from the bottom of her heart.She may have never really loved Qing Ling wholeheartedly.
Qingling said: "If you don't tell me, there are other ways to find out. Don't hold on, seeing your own daughter suffer in front of you, don't you really feel pain?"
Liu Ninghuan turned her head away, not wanting to look at Xiaozhen.Qingling grabbed her hair and forced her to look at Xiaozhen.The shock in Xiaozhen's eyes gradually receded, and now it has become a little stunned, a little unbelievable.
Liu Ninghuan had a very strange feeling in her heart: as Qing Ling said, even if she insisted on not saying anything, Qing Ling must have other ways to dig it out.Why did she have to torture her to extract a confession in this way?There is also the word "biological daughter" that appears twice... Is it too deliberate?
This thought just flashed by, without leaving a deep impression in Liu Ninghuan's mind.Because at this time she has more important things to deal with.
Xiaozhen looked at her deeply, shed tears after a while, and said, "Mom, is that you..."
Liu Ninghuan subconsciously said, "No." I'm still young, and I don't have a daughter like you.
Xiaozhen shook her head and said, "Mom, so you're not dead..."
Qingling nodded lightly, and said, "Borrowing a dead body to bring back the soul, I didn't expect such a thing to happen until I saw it with my own eyes."
Liu Ninghuan was still denying it, but her voice was louder: "I'm not!" She didn't know why she denied it, but she just felt that since Qingling tried her best to prove this point, she had to go against Qingling.Qing Ling is also the kind of person who is calculating, Liu Ninghuan has no idea what Qing Ling wants to do.
It's a pity that her vehement denial didn't work, Xiaozhen cried even harder, and said, "Mother, you said you would pick me up to the capital, and you said you would find me a stepfather, you don't even remember ?"
Liu Ninghuan shook her head desperately, Qing Ling's eyes gradually darkened.
However, after getting along with her for this period of time, Xiaozhen firmly believed in the motherhood she felt.She didn't know why her mother didn't want to recognize herself, so she broke down and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! You don't want me anymore!"
In the crying, Xiaozhen shared a lot of common memories of the two.Liu Ninghuan didn't know at all, and looked at Xiaozhen with a bewildered expression.
During this exchange, Qingling didn't ask about Amulu's whereabouts, but stood quietly aside, observing the expressions of the two of them carefully.
At this time, expressions and micro-movements cannot be faked.
When Xiaozhen was hoarse and her throat became hoarse, a person suddenly ran outside and said out of breath, "Miss Qingling, things have changed! You are welcome!"
"What happened?" After Qingling finished asking, before the man could answer, she said immediately: "Don't talk about it now, wait until I finish dealing with the matter here."
Qingling ordered Liu Ninghuan to be imprisoned in another room, and she followed behind the jailer. Seeing Liu Ninghuan was stunned, she took a deep look at her, turned and left.
Liu Ninghuan looked at her back coldly, and said, "Zhao Zhan asked you to torture A Miaolu's whereabouts, and you just asked about it? Are you not afraid that Zhao Zhan will punish you?"
Qingling stopped in her tracks but did not turn around. She said, "Punishment? Seeing a charm or something else?" She smiled slightly and said, "So what, I'm not afraid."
After saying this, Qingling left quickly, leaving Liu Ninghuan alone in the depths of the dungeon.
Liu Ninghuan's heart moved, she inexplicably felt that Qing Ling's tone just now was not right, she didn't seem like a loyal lackey who... ordered and prohibited.Not afraid?Isn't Qingling afraid of seeing charms?
Qing Ling returned to Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen had suffered a huge shock, and she hadn't fully reacted yet, her expression was blank, and she fell into deep thought.
Qing Ling asked Liu Zhen to be put down, and then looked into her eyes.
Liu Zhen finally came back to her senses and said, "This is the secret you said you wanted to tell me earlier?"
Qingling said: "How about this secret? Do you think she is your mother?"
Liu Zhen shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know..."
Qing Ling pinched Liu Zhen's shoulder and said word by word: "You must give me an answer."
Liu Zhen grabbed her hair with both hands and said, "But I can't figure it out. Why did she lie to me? Why did she pretend not to understand? Is she protecting me? Tell me, is she protecting me?!"
When Liu Zhen asked this question, it was equivalent to giving an answer.Qingling frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
Still panicking, Liu Zhen said, "I don't know...I really don't know!"
It was no longer possible to get effective information from Liu Zhen, so Qingling stood up and walked out of the cell expressionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.The person who reported the letter just now was still waiting, and when he saw her, he saluted and said, "Miss Qingling."
Qing Ling said, "What does the young master say?"
"Young Master said, there is no need to torture him, because the target has already appeared." The messenger said: "In addition, someone is attacking the city, and the city gate is about to be broken. Young Master ordered you to quickly support!"
When Zhao Zhan conspired with Shaobu, he had already secretly plotted against Chen Cang and deployed many elite Altai soldiers outside the capital.
Unexpectedly, Schaub insisted on sneaking into the palace on impulse, which caused unexpected consequences.Although this matter made Zhao Zhan's road to the throne a little smoother, it also created a loophole, allowing the group of people to fall into the hands of A Miaolu.
A Miaolu is also impulsive, she has a great obsession with Liu Ninghuan, plus Liu Ninghuan sent someone to rescue her, she feels that she has the responsibility to get Liu Ninghuan out of Zhao Zhan's clutches rescued.
Although the bigger reason was that she couldn't tolerate Zhao Zhan marrying Liu Ninghuan.Thinking of someone possessing Liu Ninghuan, she became mad with jealousy!
In the previous action of robbing relatives, Amulu had already used Zhao Zhan's hand to get rid of those who did not trust her.This time she escaped again, and with the few remaining cronies, she led the army secretly stationed not far from the capital.As long as everyone agrees, it doesn't matter what the truth is.
This army has a large number of people and complete equipment. I don't know how Zhao Zhan and Shaobu built it.But at this time, it became Amulu's spear.
Amulu led the army and rushed towards the capital at an extremely fast speed.Earlier, in order to arrest A Miaolu, Zhao Zhan dispatched a large number of people to the "marriage road".It takes time for the water droplets to re-merge into the river and sea.During this process, Amulu had a time difference and after a lot of effort, finally broke through the gate of the capital.
This is why Zhao Zhan hastily summoned Qing Ling: A Miao Lu climbed up the watchtower in a grand manner, waving a blood-dyed banner.This move caused greater panic than the breach of the city gate. The common people were terrified offline, and several stampedes had already occurred.Rumors of national ruin and family destruction spread everywhere. Even if Zhao Zhan expelled A Miulu's army, the psychological shadow caused to the entire ethnic group this time is unknown when it will be smoothed over.
Zhao Zhan was very angry, looking at the soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of him.These soldiers were brought back directly from the border by her, and they were important confidantes.They have made achievements in marching and fighting, but they are useless at this moment: the city is extremely chaotic, the people are mixed with the enemy army, they are used to killing the enemy boldly, and now they are a little restrained.
Qingling came quickly, knelt on the ground as soon as she arrived, and said, "Master, are you worried about the three-party melee in the city?"
Zhao Zhan said, "Oh?"
Qing Ling said: "Qing Ling may have a plan."
……
When Mu Shan appeared in the cell and brought Liu Ninghuan out of the dungeon, Liu Ninghuan was very surprised.
Liu Ninghuan asked her with wide eyes, "Why did you appear here?"
Mu Shan untied Liu Ninghuan, and said to her: "The gate of the city has been broken, and soldiers of the Altaic tribe are pouring into the city. I am afraid that someone will attack the Ninth Prince's Mansion soon. I am under the order of Miss Qingling to protect your safety. The princess cooperates, don't take the opportunity to escape. In this city, there may not be anyone who can protect you except me."
After Mu Shan said so much at once, Liu Ninghuan realized that the situation was critical, and said, "The city gate is broken? Is it Amulu? What's going on under Qingling's order?"
While dragging Liu Ninghuan out, Mu Shan said: "The princess let the tiger go back to the mountain, and A Miaolu led the army to the city. After the city was broken, there was chaos in the city, and the garrison fought against rats and were restrained everywhere. Miss Qingling figured out a way and successfully captured Only when all the people gather in one place can the garrison show its strength. Therefore, the Ninth Prince entrusts the full power of defense to Miss Qingling. Miss Qingling asked me to protect you," Mu Shan looked at Liu deeply at this point. Ning Huan glanced at him and said, "Say you are still useful to the Ninth Prince."
Liu Ninghuan always felt that the half-sentence that Mu Shan added later had some implication, which made her think it was meaningful.But she didn't have time to take this feeling into consideration, she just said: "There is a little girl named Liu Zhen in the cell, where is she? What about the father, the queen, and the queen?"
Mu Shan had dragged Liu Ninghuan out of the dungeon at this time, and when he got to the ground, he could smell a strong smell of blood. People were fighting, corpses were strewn across the field, and wailing burst out.
Liu Ninghuan is a good young man in the 21st century. He has only seen this kind of scene on TV, and he is so timid that he must cover the screen with his hands.Witnessing the hand-to-hand combat scene at this moment, she was stunned for a moment, and her next reaction was to vomit.
She bent down and pinched her own neck, retched a few times but didn't spit out anything.A flaming arrow shot through the air, Mu Shan grabbed Liu Ninghuan by the collar and pulled her away to escape.
Mu Shan said: "I'm offended." Then he reached out and pinched Liu Ninghuan under his arm, and left the Ninth Prince's Mansion by flying over the eaves and walls.
Mu Shan took Liu Ninghuan all the way to the end of a secluded alley.Liu Ninghuan still wanted to vomit, but tried her best to suppress the discomfort, and stretched her neck to look.
Not far away, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was on fire, thick smoke was billowing, and the cries had already reached here.Liu Ning said happily, "Can all the servants escape?"
Mu Shan said: "The Ninth Prince's Mansion has been captured by the Altai people. If you are lucky enough, you can escape part of it."
Liu Ninghuan tremblingly asked: "This...is it all done by A Mulu?"
Mu Shan was silent for a moment, but did not answer the question.After a while, he said, "Amulu is searching the whole city for the whereabouts of the princess."
Liu Ninghuan was also silent.
Resting on the spot for a while, Mu Shan took Liu Ninghuan to another position and arrived at a deserted temple.The temple was extremely dilapidated, full of people, and it was impossible to settle down.Liu Ninghuan struggled to find a place to sit down, and then heard Mu Shan explain: "This is the refugee camp set up by the princess not long ago. I didn't expect it to play a role at this time."
Liu Ninghuan asked Mu Shan: "How is the capital? Will it be destroyed?"
Mu Shan said: "The reason for falling into this predicament is that the people are chaotic and helpless. After Miss Qing Ling used a clever plan to evacuate the people, things became easier. But the military defenses on both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the result may be a mixed bag. Potential."
Liu Ninghuan asked: "We three?"
Mu Shan looked at Liu Ninghuan with the eyes of a fool, and Liu Ninghuan felt relieved: "It's okay, it's okay... Aren't you good at marching and fighting, why don't you participate in the battle, but are stuck here?"
Mu Shan clenched his fists tightly, "There are frequent border wars, I should actually be on the way to the border..."
Doesn't she want to join the fight?But Qingling said that Liu Ninghuan was very important, and Mu Shan had to obey unless Mu Shan was arranged to protect Liu Ninghuan.
Liu Ninghuan could hear Mu Shan's frustration, so he didn't speak any more.
……
A Miaolu's eyes turned red, and she asked her subordinates, "Have you found anyone yet?"
The subordinate said: "I have never seen the woman in the portrait..."
A Mulu said: "Look it up for me! If you can't find the Ninth Prince's Mansion, go to the palace! If you can't find it in the palace, go to the city to look for it! There are only so many women in total, I still don't believe I can't find them!"
A Miaolu knelt on the ground in front of the old and the weak, women and children, all crying.Unable to hear the voice, Amulu kicked a girl in front of her and said, "Don't cry! I'll kill anyone who cries! Lift up your heads and let me take a closer look at your faces! Who knew she Is it hidden in your eyes!"
A Miaolu's fierce eyes flicked across several people in front of her one by one, but there was no sign of Liu Ninghuan as expected.Amiaolu was furious. After a while, she narrowed her eyes, showing a vicious expression, and said, "Tie them to the street. Zhao Zhan wants to defend the city. Let's use them as shields to see if Zhao Guo dares to shoot arrows!"
……
The main streets of the capital are in a mess. The peddlers and pedestrians of the past have long since disappeared. There are only ruins and walls everywhere. If you walk a few more steps, you can even see stumps and broken arms.
The Altai people walked arrogantly on the street. In front of them was a row of innocent people tied together and acting as a human wall.The people had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths, sobbing and unable to speak.The leading general beat gongs and drums and shouted loudly: "Hand over Zhao Ninghuan!"
The soldiers guarding the city asked their superiors worriedly: "They treat the common people like this! Now we can't attack hard, and we dare not use bows and arrows. What should we do?!"
Qing Ling gritted her teeth and said nothing.
……
Liu Ninghuan heard the sound of gongs and drums from a distance, as if there was a human voice, but she couldn't hear what the man was saying.She curiously asked the refugees around: "Is anyone listening clearly?"
All the refugees shook their heads, but Mu Shan was the only one who had eyesight and hearing, and his face turned livid.
Liu Ninghuan grabbed Mu Shan and asked: "What's going on outside, do you know?" Mu Shan didn't want to say, Liu Ninghuan urged: "Say it!"
Mu Shan thought briefly for a moment, finally lowered his head, and whispered a few words to Liu Ning.
Liu Ninghuan showed an unacceptable angry expression, stood up abruptly and ran outside: "How could she do this!"
Mu Shan called her to stop, his eyes were iron: "Could it be that you want to throw yourself into a trap?"
Only then did Liu Ninghuan come to his senses, stopped in his tracks, and said, "But..."
Mu Shan said: "No, but. War is like this, blood against blood, flesh against flesh. Do you think you can change anything by rushing out? Nothing can be changed."
Liu Ninghuan said: "Didn't you say [-]% off? Why is Amulu so arrogant?"
Mu Shan closed his eyes, showing a helpless expression, and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is a possibility of a narrow escape, let alone three or seven? What's more, they have really done something..."
Mu Shan muttered to himself: "If I can play at this time...if you can give me some soldiers..."
When Liu Ninghuan heard Mu Shan's words, he paused, and unconsciously put his fingers into his belt, touching the edge of the hard token.
Shi Chan said that this token can command an army of 5000 men.Shi Tan also said that the army could reach the capital within half a day by water.
Liu Ninghuan held the token in the palm of his hand, as if he had made a decision, he walked towards Mu Shan resolutely.
After taking two steps, he was held down by a hand.Liu Ninghuan was taken aback, and saw a woman wearing a hood and bowing her head in front of her.The woman slowly raised her head and gave Liu Ninghuan a look.
Liu Ninghuan was stunned, and said softly, "Cousin?!"
"Hush," Shi Qian made a silent gesture, and said, "I'm hiding here, and no one knows about it. You look normal, don't let Mu Shan find out."
Mu Shan sat there thinking about something, and didn't notice the little interaction here.
Shi Qian pinched Liu Ninghuan's palm and asked, "What do you want to do? Are you going to give the hole card to the enemy?"
Liu Ninghuan said: "If the capital is captured, then what's the use of my cards?"
Shi Tan said, "Aren't you worried that she's lying to you?"
Liu Ninghuan was silent for a while, then said: "No."
Just now Mu Shan muttered to himself, it was indeed a routine.If the person who did that was Qing Ling or Qiu Xin, Liu Ninghuan would be skeptical.But that's Mu Shan... Mu Shan is pure and firm, and he doesn't bother to use these methods.Liu Ninghuan knew all the characters, and thus Mu Shan.
Liu Ninghuan was so categorical, but Shi Tan let go instead.
Liu Ninghuan approached Mu Shan step by step, calling her name: "Po Yue, I have something to tell you."
……
A Miaolu's army is aggressive, and they don't treat the people of Zhao State as human beings, and their methods are cruel and inferior.
Zhao Guo's army has to worry about the people, buildings, and various post-war reconstruction matters, and it seems a little restrained.The Altai army only needs to burn, kill, and loot. The more the capital is destroyed, the more afraid the people are, and the more "happy" they are.Relying on this "advantage", Amu Lufang faintly gained the upper hand.
A Miaolu also searched out many places where the common people were hiding. After searching one by one, Liu Ninghuan was not found, but the emperor and empress were found.
The emperor and empress were dressed in the clothes of grass-roots people, and looked exhausted.Amulu asked them to kneel in front of her and said, "No one thought that such a day would come."
Compared with panic, the queen's face was more exhausted.The accidents experienced in the past few days may be greater than the accidents she has experienced in her entire life.Her heart was ashamed, and she had already escaped into Buddhism emotionally, so seeing Amulu with her teeth and claws bared like this, her heart didn't fluctuate at all.
A Miaolu said, "Where is Zhao Ninghuan? Is she with you?"
The emperor's hair was more than half white, and he looked very old. He said: "Because you were let go, Ning'er was interrogated by Zhan'er in prison. Since then, we have lost contact with Ning'er. After the city was broken, more I don't know her whereabouts."
The queen said coolly from the side: "Your army is so cruel, I'm afraid they are dead."
Angrily, Amulu pinched the queen's neck and said, "Why do you say that! If you have the guts, say it again!"
The queen was forced to look at her, and laughed heartlessly upon hearing this.She could see it clearly, as long as she has power, everyone will become the same, irritable, ruthless and loveless.The emperor, Zhao Zhan, and Amulu are all like this. They don't really fall in love with someone, but they are only possessive and controlling.The queen couldn't help but said, "I said she's dead."
The queen is also very worried about Liu Ninghuan's safety, but the way she faces her worry is to look directly at it, not to avoid it.
The emperor pushed Amulu away and said, "If you are worried, go find it!"
Amulu was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, we should look for it."
Amulu found a tall parade float and tied the emperor and queen to it.She repeated the same trick, letting the float lead the way, while her soldiers stood guard behind, and at the same time sent someone to shout to the whole city.
"The emperor and empress are in my hands! If you want to save their lives, you can exchange them with a live Princess Pingzhen! If you don't see Princess Pingzhen by [-]:[-] p.m., please come to Caishikou to watch us kill the emperor!"
Such humiliation with great fanfare can be heard in half of the urban area occupied by the Altai army.But the sound spread far, and after a while, all the people who were hiding heard it.
Zhao Zhan and General Chen who were stationed at the base camp also got the news soon.
General Chen was furious and said, "I'm going to save the emperor!"
Zhao Zhan didn't care about the emperor in her heart, and she even hoped that the emperor would die in the war, so that she could inherit the throne in a legitimate way.But she knew General Chen's loyalty, so she said, "How many remaining troops are there?"
Someone next to him will report the current situation.
"There are still too few soldiers..." Zhao Zhan sighed, but then said: "Order to rectify! All available soldiers at present are all under the command of General Chen, and the emperor must be rescued!"
General Chen looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, he just sighed.
The two armies were at war and had already entered a rest period.But Amulu moved out the emperor and tried his best to humiliate Zhao Jun, who was enraged and his morale was high.
General Chen is a veteran of using troops, and has fought several cases of winning more with less.In addition, he has a deeper understanding of the capital than Amuru, so even with a smaller force, he can barely fight the Altai army.
War is the most uncontrollable. After the war, all plans will no longer work. Winning or losing is only in the hands of the soldiers, in every fist-to-hand confrontation.
When General Chen heard the battle report, he gradually frowned.He used fire to attack, as long as the direction of the wind was not so tricky, he would definitely be able to defeat the Altai army.It's a pity that the sky didn't follow people's wishes, and the wind came from the direction he least wanted to see. Not only did the fire he set have no effect, but it hindered Zhao Jun from moving forward.
A sense of sadness welled up in his chest, and his beard trembled slightly.He thought: Is the sky going to kill me, Dazhao?
At this moment, a messenger ran over at the fastest speed, knelt on the ground excitedly, and said: "Report! An army appeared outside the city! It was led by Mu Shan...Mu Shan Centurion! They are now fighting with The Altaic army is fighting! The Altaic army is in disarray!"
Mu Shan's official position is quite low, just a mere centurion.But she led half a thousand horses to appear like this, which was a great help to Zhao Jun who was defending the city.
General Chen lifted his spirits, and at the same time, he was puzzled: "Mu Shan? Where did Mu Shan's soldiers come from?"
……
Where did Mu Shan's soldiers come from? This question also troubled Amulu.
"The army that suddenly appeared, waving the flag with the word 'Yang'! I'm afraid, it may be someone from King Yangxi!" A subordinate who knew a little bit about the inside story reported: "The general at the head is Zhao Zhan's confidant!"
A Miaolu said: "Prince Yangxi is close to the Shi family. Could this army be related to Zhao Ninghuan!"
Her eyes lit up. King Yangxi was the son of the sworn brother of the former emperor. Because he could not be favored by the current emperor, he was dispatched to remote mountainous areas early, and his life was hard and difficult.The Shi family donated a lot of money and opened many businesses in the Yangxi area. The Yangxi area gradually became rich, and the King of Yangxi had a close personal relationship with the Shi family. It was one of the few troops that Zhao Ninghuan had access to.
This army must have been prepared by Zhao Ninghuan. If it wasn't for her or King Yangxi himself, no one could command it.It is absolutely impossible for King Yangxi to cooperate with "Zhao Zhan's cronies", which means that Zhao Ninghuan is still alive.
At this time, A Miaolu didn't care about why Liu Ninghuan did something to her, she just wanted to find Liu Ninghuan herself, and then take her out of the capital.
A Miaolu ordered: "Pass my order, everyone must not love to fight, we retreat. Pay attention to search all streets when retreating, if you find Zhao Ninghuan, be sure to send a message!"
"Wolf smoke..." As soon as the wolf smoke came out, wouldn't the position be exposed to Zhao Jun?
Amulu looked at the confidant, and said coldly: "What are you dissatisfied with?"
The confidant hurriedly said: "Don't dare!"
……
And Liu Ninghuan, whom Ah Miao was thinking about, was following Mu Shan in the Yangxi army.
When Mu Shan gave orders, Liu Ninghuan sat quietly watching.There are several people who are responsible for "protecting" her, and they don't leave every step, even following her to go to the toilet.
There was no dissatisfaction on Liu Ninghuan's face, but Mu Shan was in a complicated mood.
This is the army that Liu Ninghuan handed over to Mu Shan. Mu Shan's command is to better protect the Zhao country, and Mu Shan feels it should be taken for granted.But these soldiers are also Liu Ninghuan's people, and he used Liu Ninghuan's people to monitor Liu Ninghuan, wouldn't Liu Ninghuan think too much?
Mu Shan said: "If I'm not wrong, this is the princess' last reliance. Just take it out like this, won't you be unwilling?"
Liu Ninghuan looked at Mu Shan with calm and indifferent eyes, and said, "I saw that scene, how could I remain indifferent?" What she was talking about was the chaos and bloodshed she saw when she was taken away from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Mu Shan stopped talking.
"Report! The Altai army is dispersing and blending into the crowd! It seems to be retreating!"
Mu Shan's expression froze, and he said, "Block! If you enter the gate of the capital of my Great Zhao Kingdom, then leave them all to me!"
"Not far away is a small team, shuttling between the alleys, sneaking around, as if looking for something!"
"Chasing." Mu Shan said in a deep voice.
Since you hit the tip of the knife, don't blame me for being rude.
The group of people who hit the knife point were Amulu and her cronies, as well as the emperor and queen.These two people may be of great use at critical moments, and it is impossible for her to leave them.
His subordinates received a report that someone had seen a suspected figure of Liu Ninghuan in a refugee camp in the suburbs.At this moment, Amulu suddenly realized: that refugee camp was rescued by Liu Ninghuan, and it should have been investigated early tomorrow.
She ordered the soldiers to retreat, but she took a small team of elites to check, but when she got there, the building was already empty.Seeing the remnants there, Amulu was even more sure that Liu Ninghuan had stayed here before.
It turned out to be here...why didn't I think of it?
Amulu was angry and wanted to take someone away.
As soon as I turned around, I heard the sound of horseshoes a block away.
The hoofbeats sounded gradually, and the men said, "Someone is chasing us."
Amulu said, "Run!"
She dragged the emperor and queen, climbed over the wall and hid in a small courtyard.
After a while, Mu Shan arrived with his troops, but at the same time there was another voice.
A Miaolu clicked on the dumb acupoint of the emperor and empress, and then listened to the conversation outside through the wall.
Zhao Zhan said, "Are you sure that Amulu is here?"
One person replied: "Our people watched her approach this alley, but it is unknown which house she entered."
Mu Shan said, "Ninth Prince, why are you here?"
Zhao Zhan said: "My people found that A Miaolu took his father and mother into this alley, and I brought people to investigate. What about you, why are you here?"
Mu Shan said, "Same."
Liu Ninghuan's voice was raised a lot: "Father and Queen Mother are in the hands of A Miaolu?! What's going on?!"
She and Mu Shan had been away for a while, so she didn't know that A Miao Lu took the emperor and queen hostage to force Zhao Zhan to hand over her affairs.
When Amulu heard this voice, her heart moved.It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.But both Zhao Zhan and Mu Shan are here, how can I escape with Liu Ninghuan...
While Amulu was thinking, the queen whose acupuncture points had been tapped suddenly fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
The conversation outside the wall quickly stopped, and the outside became silent.But Amulu knew that they were hiding their whereabouts and were approaching him.
Amulu pulls out a scimitar and presses it against the queen's neck.She knew that Liu Ninghuan cared more about the queen, and the fact that the queen made a noise also made Amulu feel angry.
Another subordinate supported the emperor in the same posture, and the two slowly retreated into the house.
This is what Liu Ninghuan saw when he stepped into the small courtyard.She yelled "Mom and Dad" and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Mu Shan.
Zhao Zhan said: "After letting go of father and mother, I can still let you live."
A Miaolu said: "The way of life? I came out of the way of life by myself, and I don't need you to keep it. It's okay if I let them go. Give me Zhao Ninghuan."
Liu Ninghuan said, "You..."
Amulu said: "Go back to Altai with me, I will marry you as my concubine, and I will treat you well."
Zhao Zhan said: "Impossible, the imperial sister is the princess of my Great Zhao, which symbolizes the dignity of my Great Zhao."
Amulu said viciously: "Then I will kill the dog emperor!"
She was so excited that the scimitar in her hand was cut a little deeper, blood slowly oozing from the queen's neck.Liu Ninghuan said in shock: "Don't hurt the queen mother!"
A Miaolu said: "Zhao Zhan, the emperor and Zhao Ninghuan, how do you choose? Are you going to let the emperor die in front of so many people? Although he is not your biological father, I didn't expect that you would not even make a false appearance. maintained."
Amulu simply told the secret of the palace, and successfully heard a gasp.Zhao Zhan didn't respond, but Liu Ninghuan was already in tears.
"Zhao Ninghuan, what about you? Your mother's security guard
