The queen cried the whole harem

At this time, one day had passed since Lanzhou Pass officially declared war.

The victory at Lanzhou Pass is indeed close at hand.

Zhao Xiang died in the battle, Xu Shui and Wang Pei died in the battle, and the Qi army massacred the Jiangguan city. After a night of sweeping, almost all of them were killed.

Yan Lang hardly killed many enemies that night. He was still in a weak state. However, even if he didn't kill enemies, he still had the greatest contribution.

Without him, the iron wall cannot fall down and the city gate cannot be conquered.

Yan Bin and Yan Hao went back to bandage it, and then came back to kill the enemy.

Although the two of them were seriously injured, recapturing Lanzhou Pass was their wish and their responsibility, and they did not dare to slack off.

After Yan Tai knew that the two of them were here again, he immediately went to find them and killed the enemy with them to protect them.

Yuan Tongjing, He Ye, and He Sizhuo were looking for Jiang Chengchi and Sun Changce in the city.

I searched all over Guancheng, but couldn't find Jiang Chengchi or Sun Changce.

At dawn, Yuan Tongjing, He Ye, He Sizhuo, Yan Bin, Yan Tai, Yan Hao and Yan Lang met up.

Yuan Tongjing said: "Jiang Chengchi and Sun Changce must have escaped. We searched all night but couldn't find them."

Yan Langshang had not fully recovered and could no longer use his semi-magical powers. He frowned and said nothing.

He Ye answered and hummed: "How could this Emperor of Jiang Kingdom know how to run away? But it would be useless if he ran away. Huang Wuhou must have stopped and killed him."

When formulating the siege strategy, we considered that Jiang Chengchi might escape. Firstly, he had a precedent, and secondly, he was the emperor of Jiang State. Even if he didn't want to escape, Sun Changce would definitely escort him to escape and would not let him escape. He really died here, or was caught by the Qi people.

Knowing that Jiang Chengchi would make such a move, Qi State naturally made corresponding preparations.

For such a big thing as siege, Huang Xurong, the commander, didn't come.

And if he doesn't come, he will definitely have to do something more important than attacking the city.

It was to ambush and kill Jiang Chengchi.

In the eyes of Yuan Tongjing, He Ye, He Sizhuo, Yan Bin, Yan Tai, Yan Hao, and Yan Lang, Jiang Chengchi is no match for Huang Xurong. Even if Jiang Chengchi has Sun Changce by his side, he can't beat Huang Xurong. That level.

This time, Jiang Chengchi will die.

Originally, it was true that Jiang Chengchi would die as they thought, but they did not expect that Uncle Jiang Wang would suddenly appear in the middle of the night.

So the one who dies now is not Jiang Chengchi, but Huang Xurong.

Yan Bin frowned and glanced at the sky, and said: "I think it's better to send someone to investigate. Jiang Chengchi escaped at night. It stands to reason that by now, a message has been sent from Huang Wuhou, but until now, we still haven't I haven't received any news, I'm worried..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Tongjing said in shock: "Are you worried that something will happen to Marquis Huang Wu?"

"I hope nothing will happen to Marquis Huang Wu."

Yuan Tongjing's expression became serious, and so did the expressions of He Ye, He Sizhuo, Yan Hao, and Yan Tai.

Yan Lang secretly activated his semi-supernatural power, but before the power of the supernormal power could be mobilized, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Yan Lang took a deep breath, and could only withdraw his magical power temporarily, and said to Yuan Tongjing: "Marquis Yuan Guan, it's better to send someone to investigate. My second uncle is right, this has passed overnight. With Huang Wuhou's ability, at this time he We should have brought Jiang Chengchi's head to join us long ago, but he never showed up, and no news came from him. I was also worried...that something had happened to Marquis Huang Wu."

Yuan Tongjing's face was stern, and without further delay, he said to He Ye and He Sizhuo: "You and your son, please bring some troops over there to see what is going on with Marquis Huang Wu. No matter what the situation is, you must come back and report it quickly!"

"Yes!"

He Ye He Si Zhuo and his son took the order, immediately ordered some soldiers, and quickly left the city.

Two hours later, they came back, their eyes full of anger and sorrow.

They brought back very shocking news.

Huang Xurong died in battle.

Yuan Tongjing couldn't believe it. He grabbed He Ye's collar, widened his eyes and asked, "What did you say? Huang Wuhou died in the battle?"

He Ye nodded sadly: "Yes. Huang Wuhou died in the battle, and none of the elite soldiers brought by Huang Wuhou survived. Jiang Chengchi and Sun Changce are not here, so they must have escaped."

"impossible!"

Yuan Tongjing let go of He Ye, rode the horse himself, and quickly ran to the place where Huang Xurong ambushed Jiang Chengchi.

After going there, I saw Huang Xurong's body and the bodies of so many Qi soldiers.

Later Yan Bin, Yan Hao, Yan Tai and Yan Lang also came.

Yan Bin saw the arrow that penetrated Huang Xurong's chest. He squinted his eyes and said: "Last night, someone should have been there to help Jiang Chengchi and Sun Changce. Huang Wuhou was probably hit by a hidden arrow, so he lost. He was defeated by Jiang Chengchi. Killed by fellow countrymen."

"Based on Huang Wuhou's ability, if someone is hiding around, he will definitely be able to detect it. Even if he is not defeated, he will not be hit by a hidden arrow. Being hit by a hidden arrow only means one thing. That person's force is far superior to Huang Wuhou."

"Judging from the current situation in Jiang State, there are not many people who are far more powerful than Huang Wuhou. I think the person who came to meet Jiang Chengchi and Sun Changce last night should be Uncle Jiang."

Yuan Tongjing asked: "Why do you think Huang Wuhou was hit by a hidden arrow instead of a direct arrow?"

Yan Bin pointed at Huang Xurong's unblinking eyes: "If he was directly hit by an arrow, Huang Wuhou would not be able to die with his eyes open like this. As a Wuhou, he had already put his life and death aside. Death on the battlefield is both glory and destiny. How could he look like he was unblinking? It must be because someone shot a cold arrow in the back, and he felt unfair, so he refused to die in peace."

Yuan Tongjing cursed: "Uncle Jiang, that bastard!"

Jiang Chengchi was not captured, but a commander died. Although Lanzhou Pass was a great victory this time, it was also painful.

The same was true over Qingjiang Pass. The victory was a victory, but many people died, and Qi's Guancheng was burned into ruins.

Two pieces of good news reached the palace one after another and fell into the hands of Qi Hengyuan.

Qi Hengyuan felt happy and sad after reading the two good news.

Fortunately, Qi State took back two more cities.

Sadly, the people died.

Although the soldiers died in the battle, Huang Xurong died in the battle, and Qi Hengyuan was also sad, but as a soldier and a Wuhou, he should have the consciousness to die in battle, but the common people were different, they were innocent.

Qi Hengyuan went to Yan Ning and showed Yan Ning the two good news about Guancheng.Yan Ning actually already knew.

And she knew far more than what was written in Qi Hengyuan's victory report.

Yan Ning pretended not to know anything, took the two good news and looked at them carefully. After reading, she returned the good news to Qi Hengyuan, and Qi Hengyuan gave it to Wang Eunuch.

Yan Ning said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for regaining two cities at once."

Qi Hengyuan took a look at her face and reached out to rub her eyebrows: "This is a happy thing, don't frown. I am happy and excited from the bottom of my heart. Although I was successful, I also suffered a certain amount of trauma, but the war That’s it, it’s inevitable.”

What Yan Ning felt ashamed and unhappy about was Huang Xurong's death in battle.

Originally, in Yan Ning's opinion, Qi was bound to win the battle at Lanzhou Pass, and there would definitely be casualties. After all, Qi had suffered casualties in previous battles, but no commander had ever died.

This time a commander actually died.

The battle at Qingjiang Pass was an accident within an accident. Although Yan Ning was saddened by the death of so many people, she regretted it even more. Because of her own selfish interests, she delayed Qi Hengyuan from going to Lanzhou Pass. As a result, Let Huang Xurong die in battle.

If Qi Hengyuan went to Lanzhou Pass, then the person who stopped and killed Jiang Chengchi must be Qi Hengyuan. Qi Hengyuan had the amulet she gave him. Even if Uncle Jiang secretly attacked, it would not be successful.

Moreover, if Qi Hengyuan went to Lanzhou Pass, she would definitely go too.

With her here, Uncle Jiang would not be able to successfully attack.

After all, it was all her fault.

Yan Ning whispered: "Your Majesty, I feel uncomfortable. I feel sorry for Huang Wuhou and the Huang family. If it hadn't been for my illness, which hindered Your Majesty from going to Lanzhou Pass, Huang Wuhou would not have died."

Qi Hengyuan frowned, hugged her into his arms, and said in a gentle tone: "What does this matter have to do with you? Don't blame yourself, and don't think too much about it."

He held her face in his hands and kissed her gently: "I will give you many rewards from the Huang family. Huang Xurong has an eldest son named Huang Changling. Huang Changling didn't like to learn martial arts since he was a child. He took the path of a civil servant. I will give him many rewards." If I take care of and support him, I will also give the Huang family a hereditary title to ensure that the Huang family will not wither because of Huang Xurong's death. This is the only thing I can do. Whether the Huang family can be glorious in the future depends on themselves."

"But this matter really has nothing to do with you, and you don't want to get sick. Well, stop thinking about it and think about some happy things. Lanzhou Pass has been recovered, Yan Lang has achieved another great achievement, and your father and Your uncle and third uncle have also made great military achievements, and I want to reward them well."

"You said before that when Lanzhou Pass is recovered, you want to go back. How about I go back with you?"

"Thinking that Lanzhou Pass has been recovered, your family is safe, and you have earned a lot of military honors, will you feel happier?"

Yan Ning was unhappy. She knew very well why she was sick. She was sick on purpose.

Yan Ning lowered her eyes. From her rebirth to now, she had only wanted to help His Majesty the State of Qi to regain the Nine Passes and Nine Cities and suppress the Jiang State. She even wanted to destroy the world she helped Jiang Chengchi gain, but she had never I have thought about hurting anyone in Qi State.

Now Huang Xurong's death has cast a thick layer of haze over her heart.

She buried her face in Qi Hengyuan's arms and said nothing.

Qi Hengyuan hugged her tightly and didn't understand why she cared so much about Huang Xurong's death.

Although it was a pity for Qi Hengyuan, as a king, he was still brooding over the death of a border border lord Wuhou and could not let go of it. So what kind of king could he be?
Four years ago, his imperial brother died in battle, but he did not get deeply involved in it. He was unable to extricate himself from the sadness. He quickly stabilized the imperial court and dealt with a series of things related to the defeat.

It's not that he is heartless, but that he has the world on his shoulders and he has no time to be sad because of the death of any one person.

Although Qi Hengyuan didn't understand Yan Ning's emotions, he still coaxed her for a while.

After lunch was laid out, Qi Hengyuan carried Yan Ning to eat.

Yan Ning was in a congested mood and couldn't think straight, so she ate a little less.

Qi Hengyuan did not force her to eat more, but seeing that she was in a bad mood, he sent someone to call Liu Baoluo into the palace.

Liu Baoluo was in a very good mood. The news of the recovery of Lanzhou Pass and Qingjiang Pass had spread to every household. After the soldiers entered the city with the good news, they ran all the way to the imperial city, shouting loudly all the way. Now the entire Guiyang City The common people all knew about the great victories at Lanzhou Pass and Qingjiang Pass.

The people rejoiced, and nothing could be more exciting than this.

Liu Baoluo couldn't control the smile at the corner of his mouth and the bright look on his face, and said excitedly: "Yan Ning, this time two cities were recovered together. It's really shocking. The nine cities and nine cities that were lost four years ago have been recovered now. Six cities have been captured, and there are three remaining cities that have not been recovered. However, I think that with a powerful king like your majesty, the remaining three cities can be recovered soon. I have confidence in your majesty. The Chinese soldiers also have confidence!"

Yan Ning glanced at her but said nothing.

Liu Baoluo noticed something was wrong with Yan Ning and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with His Majesty? Why don't you look unhappy?"

She paused and asked, "Something happened to the Yan family?"

Yan Ning shook her head and sighed: "Huang Xurong died in the battle."

Liu Baoluo's eyes widened and he said, "Did Huang Xurong die in the battle?"

"Yes."

Liu Baoluo blinked: "I haven't heard of this yet."

They only knew about the great victory, but they didn’t know the in-depth inside story. After all, the border pass was thousands of miles away. If the soldiers who sent the message had not been excited and shouted, they would not have known that Qingjiang Pass and Lanzhou Pass were both great victories.

Now only the good news has reached Guiyang City, and other news has not yet come back.

It's just that Yan Ning lives in the palace and must know more information. If she said that Huang Xurong died in the battle, then Huang Xurong must have died in the battle.

Liu Baoluo lamented: "Huang Wuhou is so powerful that he died in battle. It's such a pity."

She looked at Yan Ning again: "Huang Wuhou died in battle, why do you act like your own father and mother are dead? No wonder His Majesty sent someone to summon me to the palace. It turns out that you are unhappy! But why are you unhappy? Lanzhou Pass You should be very happy that we have recovered it, that is your hometown!"

Then he asked: "Are your family members okay?"

"They're all right."

"Then why do you look so unhappy? His Majesty must be extremely happy at this moment, so don't disappoint him."

Yan Ning sighed and said nothing more. There were some things she couldn't say to others, and no one could talk to her. She could only digest them by herself.

Liu Baoluo stayed with Yan Ning in the palace for a long time. In the evening, Qi Hengyuan came over and found that Yan Ning had a smile on her face. Qi Hengyuan felt relieved, hugged Yan Ning on his lap, and said, "I have arranged the meeting in the court this afternoon. Let’s have a night’s rest and we will set off tomorrow morning, first to Lanzhou Pass, then to Qingjiang Pass, and then back.”

Qi Hengyuan has a demon-like obsession with the Nine Passes and Nine Cities. He must personally take back the Nine Passes and Nine Cities. Although he was unable to go to Lanzhou Pass due to Yan Ning, he must go there in person after the victory.

He wanted to step on the land of Lanzhou Pass and Qingjiang Pass to comfort the spirit of his imperial brother and make him feel at ease. (End of chapter)
