I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 222 Massage Yourself
The next day.

Under Zhao Ping's order, the cavalry killed the horses and replenished supplies.

into the night.

Beside the bonfire, the soldiers were chewing the sticky horse meat, with no expression on their faces, but they knew in their hearts that tomorrow was the most critical battle!
If they win, they will be able to advance all the way and regain Jiannan Road.

If you fail, you will be devastated and trapped to death by dry people.

therefore.

Everyone is mentally prepared for a bloody battle with the enemy tomorrow!
Time passed minute by minute.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second day.

12 people came to the towering city wall, and under the leadership of the commander, they charged again.

Seeing this scene on the city wall, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion immediately realized that this was the enemy's last counterattack, as long as they defended, victory would belong to them!
The low sound of the trumpet resounded through the sky.

The artillery continued to make deafening noises, like thunder and thunder.

The ferocious face, the bloody sword, the smoke and dust, and the shrill horn.

The entire city wall was shrouded in the tragic atmosphere of fighting.

The banner fluttering in the wind is already broken, as if it will fall in an instant.

On and off the city wall, dead bodies fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air, making people sick.

The war continues.

The fighting continues.

I do not know how long it has been.

As the sun sets, it sprinkles blood-red sunset glow.

Zhao Ping's soldiers wiped their bloody eyes.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the place, the sense of fear that had previously dissipated surged into my heart again, and I couldn't help but have the idea of ​​retreating.

The thunderous cannon continued.

Finally, they could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, and retreated one after another.

This battle lasted from sunrise to sunset, and finally ended with the defeat of the siege party.

This retreat meant that Zhao Ping and his 20 army were completely reduced to fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered!

After just two days.

Zhao Ping sent people to Jing'an City to negotiate with Bai Qi and discuss matters after the surrender.

In his view, he still has 8 or [-] people under his command, which is enough capital for negotiations.

just.

Bai Qi did not choose to negotiate with him, nor did he accept his surrender.

Jing'an City and Anren Mansion formed a pincer attack. It took less than seven days to wipe out Zhao Ping and his remnants without leaving a single survivor!
Zhou Guo's 20 troops were all annihilated by Bai Qi!
Count the days.

From when they left Jing'an City to when the entire army was annihilated, it was only twelve days!
The news spread back to Dazhou, and the whole country was shocked!
this moment.

Emperor Zhou finally realized that the state of Qian is not what it used to be. If he doesn't go all out, Great Zhou is very likely to be destroyed!
the other side.

In the city of Chang'an.

The news that Bai Qi wiped out 20 troops has not yet spread.

into the night.

A round of silver moon hangs high in the sky, full of stars, it is too beautiful to behold.

The gentle evening wind blew across the Xiangguo Mansion.

A white figure appeared outside Fang Xiu's house.

on the bed.

Yang Yuhuan, who was dressed in a blue obscene dress, was curled up in Fang Xiu's arms, her watery peach blossom eyes were gazing at the handsome face in front of her.

Although Fang Xiu had promised before, she would fulfill her wish within a year.

But at the last moment, Fang Xiu still didn't have the heart to do it, and just allowed her to sleep by his side occasionally.

Every time Fangxiu falls asleep.

Yang Yuhuan would open her eyes, take a good look at Fang Xiu for a while, and then fall asleep contentedly.

This time.

Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Xiu as usual, put her arms around his arms, and curled up in his arms, her pretty face flushed slightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

As time passed, her face showed a charming look, and her pink lips touched Fang Xiu's face, and then returned to her position, ready to rest.

at this time.

The casual glance caused her to widen her eyes, open her mouth slightly, and subconsciously let out a sharp cry.

"Ghost!"

Yang Yuhuan looked at the white shadow outside through the window, her heart pounding.

beside.

Fang Xiu woke up from the dream, opened his eyes, looked at Yang Yuhuan, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Yuhuan's petite body threw herself into Fang Xiu's arms, tears in her eyes and her voice trembling in fright.

"Master, Mr. Xiang, there are ghosts outside"

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, looked out of the window, through the window, he could see a white figure looming.

With just one glance, he recognized the person outside the door.

He squeezed the center of his brows helplessly, and said, "Come in."

The voice fell.

The door opened slowly.

A familiar figure stood at the door, wearing a long white gown, holding a folding fan in his hand, dressed in a heroic and personable manner.

It was Fang Xiu's capable general, the owner of the No. [-] Villa, Shangguan Haitang.

"Master Xiang, I'm so scared, woo woo woo."

Yang Yuhuan didn't seem to know Shangguan Haitang, she didn't look at her from the beginning to the end, but buried her head in Fang Xiu's arms, sobbing pitifully.

"Don't be afraid, it's Haitang."

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to caress her back, and comforted her softly.

Yang Yuhuan still looked frightened, her eyes were full of tears, her long eyelashes were trembling constantly, her little head was pressed against his chest, trembling.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Haitang showed no expression on her face, but the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and she opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard Yang Yuhuan sobbing pitifully:
"The Prime Minister's family is really scary."

"Can I hug my slave tonight?"

The corner of Shangguan Haitang's mouth twitched again, thinking, "It's almost over, I can hear your thoughts from so far away!

Fang Xiu didn't say anything, just put his arms around her, coaxed her a few words, then looked at Shangguan Haitang, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shangguan Haitang clasped his hands and saluted, and replied: "There is news from Jiannan Dao that the 20 people sent by Zhou Guo have been completely wiped out by Bai Qi! At most one month, Bai Qi can capture all the prefectures of Jianbei Dao!"

In Fang Xiu's eyes, not to mention capturing the small Jianbei Road, even capturing the entire Great Zhou, it is not difficult for Bai Qi.

Therefore, he didn't show too much surprise, but just nodded and said, "Got it."

"Retire from humble office."

Shangguan Haitang saluted again, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait."

Fang Xiu stopped her and asked curiously, "What were you doing standing outside the door just now?"

Upon hearing this question, Shangguan Haitang looked at Yang Yuhuan with a strange expression.

At this moment, she wanted to say that she did not knock on the door just now in order not to disturb someone's self-entertainment.

But when he saw Yang Yuhuan's flushed face and pleading eyes, he kept what he saw just now and hid it in his heart, and replied: "I'm afraid I'll disturb your rest because of my humble job."

Fang Xiudao: "In the future, as long as it is something you think is important, you can report it to the truth at any time. Don't worry too much."

"Yes! Master!"

Shangguan Haitang responded.

Fang Xiu sat on the bed, thought for a while, and asked, "Is Li Yaoyue acting unusual tonight?"

Tomorrow is Qingming, with Li Yaoyue's personality after waking up, maybe she will do something.

Shangguan Haitang hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "She has been sitting on the stone bench in the yard tonight."

"What about other than that?"

"Gone."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Understood, let's go back and rest."

"Retire from humble position!"

After Shangguan Haitang saluted, she turned and left.

Fang Xiu lay reclined on the bed, for some reason, Li Yaoyue's pitiful appearance and those clear eyes appeared in his mind when he just woke up.

Silent for a while.

Fang Xiu got up from the bed.

Seeing this, Yang Yuhuan seemed to have guessed Fang Xiu's thoughts, got up and said in a clear and melodious voice: "Master Xiang, I will help you change your clothes."

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to caress her little head, and said, "You rest, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Yang Yuhuan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she still didn't speak.

Just picked up the clothes, dressed Fang Xiu neatly, and said softly:

"Master Xiang wants to come back soon, Yu Nu is afraid."

Looking at her beautiful face, Fang Xiu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed her white forehead lightly, leaned over her ear, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will give you a massage when I come back. Soothing."

"Master Xiangxiang"

Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Xiu with beautiful peach blossom eyes, a little unbelievable, thinking that she had heard wrong.

Seeing Fang Xiu's soft eyes, he realized that he had heard correctly.

Her fair face flushed flushed, her breathing involuntarily became rapid, and her heartbeat was even faster than when she saw Shangguan Haitang before.

Looking at the handsome face in front of him.

Her eyes were clouded with mist, she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is the massage Xiangye mentioned, the kind that I want?"

Fang Xiu frowned, and said with a light smile, "How do you massage yourself on weekdays, I will give you a massage later."

It turned out that Xiangye knew it all.
Yang Yuhuan's delicate face was as red as if it was about to bleed, and her peach-blossom pupils were filled with mist.

She lowered her head in shame, not daring to speak.

It took a long time before he summoned up his courage and said in a trembling voice, "Master Xiang, come back soon."

Fang Xiu touched her little head, said nothing more, pushed open the door and walked out.

Go to the courtyard next door.

Sure enough, she saw Li Yaoyue in a long black dress, sitting on a stone bench, with her face raised slightly, looking at the night sky.

Fang Xiu followed her gaze and looked up.

The night sky is like a boundless sea.

The moon hangs high.

Starry.

look at.

Fang Xiu's eyes showed a hint of trance.

It has been more than a year since he came to this world, and it is the first time for him to appreciate the night sky.

It felt like the world he had lived in before.

It's just that there are more stars, reflecting the night sky more gorgeously.

at this time.

Li Yaoyue, who was sitting on the stone bench, had already sensed the presence of someone.

Turning his head to look, he saw a tall and straight figure standing at the door, just like her just now, looking up at the night sky.

Do not know why.

From Fang Xiu's eyes.

She actually read emotions similar to her own.

"Is there something he misses, someone he misses?"

Li Yaoyue looked at Fang Xiu, her long eyelashes trembled, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.

at this time.

A magnetic voice broke the silence.

"The truth is here, just to tell you that you don't have to please the truth."

When Li Yaoyue heard this, she was slightly taken aback. After realizing the meaning of his words, she was silent for a moment, and replied in a cold voice: "I didn't try to curry favor with you."

Fang Xiu glanced at her, did not refute, but said: "You should be let go, the truth will let you go, you should not be let go, no matter what you do, the truth will not let you go."

Li Yaoyue really wants to say, what is meant by "I should let you go", I am a free person, but you are unreasonable and imprison me here!

After thinking about it, there is no point in entangled with this when people are under the roof.

There was a moment of silence, and a hmm, as a response.

Fang Xiu looked at her, wanted to say something, but felt it was unnecessary, so he just said: "Rest early, and try to live until the day I leave the Xiangguo Mansion."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving only her cold back.

Sitting on the stone bench, Li Yaoyue looked at his back, feeling a little bewildered.

At this time, he should have fallen asleep, so why did he come to his place and talk about what was there and what was not.

"Could it be... he knows that I'm sitting here, and he's afraid that I'll be overwhelmed and do something that will hurt me, so he deliberately came here to take a look at me?"

Thinking of this.

Li Yaoyue's pretty phoenix eyes shone slightly, and felt that her hard work during this period had paid off.

Although he didn't eat the pastries that were given to him, they made some changes in him.

after all.

If it was in the past, even if he stood in the yard overnight without wearing clothes, he would not care about it.

Li Yaoyue thought of this, a look of joy appeared on her brows, and she secretly encouraged herself:
"Keep working harder, we will be one step closer to leaving Xiangguo Mansion!"

The breeze blows.

A heart gradually calmed down.

She raised her eyes to glance at the night, and the original longing and sadness were inexplicably diluted.

Tomorrow is Qingming, although I can't see my father, mother, and brother, but I have sent a letter, which can be regarded as a memory for them.

"Father, mother, I will definitely be by your side next year during the Qingming Festival!"

With such a belief.

Li Yaoyue's eyes became more determined, thinking about how to further attack Fang Xiu's defense.

the other side.

As soon as Fang Xiu returned to the house, he saw Yang Yuhuan lying on the bed, his big watery eyes blinking, and his blushing face showed anticipation, and he almost said: "Mr. Xiang, come quickly!"
"."

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he thought it was a little funny, but also a little cute.

Although Yang Yuhuan was a little pretentious on weekdays, she was wholehearted in treating him well, without the slightest distraction, and did not ask for the slightest return.

In the eyes of others, this is a refreshing little green tea, but to Fang Xiu, she is a good and understanding sister.

Although I still can't bear to do it, it's nothing to give her a little sweetness.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu lay down on the bed, hugged the petite Yang Yuhuan in his arms, and whispered something softly in her ear.

Yang Yuhuan's pretty face was flushed, and she felt like an electric current was rushing through her heart, making her feel numb.

Fang Xiu pinched her small and delicate jade feet and massaged them for a long time.

Yang Yuhuan felt that all the strength in her body was drained, and she curled up in Fang Xiu's arms, unable to make a sound.

"All right."

After a while, Yang Yuhuan held Fang Xiu's hands, pulled back her jade feet, and said with a blushing face, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

Fang Xiu chuckled, touched her little head, and comforted her, "Go to sleep."

"Ah."

Yang Yuhuan nodded, her small face was full of happiness, she curled up in Fang Xiu's arms, and fell asleep after a while.

Fang Xiu lay reclining on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
