little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 136 Answers
One day passed, two days passed, and today is the third day, the day when the water attack was agreed.

Ye He and Sun Chengzong stood beside Zhu Changluo, followed by Li Rusong and Ma Gui, who were leading the generals, all wearing armor and full of vigor.

Standing on the embankment built around the city of Ningxia, Li Rusong sensitively noticed a trace of hesitation on Zhu Changluo's face.

It seems that this little prince is not as solid as he appears on the surface. The lives of more than [-] people in Ningxia City are not a joke after all.

Li Rusong was not the only one, the young prince's hesitation was noticed by many people present.

Today is sunny without snow, blue sky, cloudless.

In the air, a snow sculpture made a long, shrill chirp and flew with its wings together, bringing with it the sound of wind and thunder, which disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Changluo withdrew his eyes lightly, and Li Rusong, who had been paying attention to him, suddenly felt dazzled.

The little prince who was still a bit hesitant just now seemed to be a different person, and his pair of eyes became as sharp as the blades out of their sheaths.

"Three days have passed, is there any news from Xibai?"

Sun Chengzong took a step forward: "Go back to the prince, quietly, but it seems that there are twice as many patrolling soldiers at the top of the city."

Zhu Changluo chuckled: "In that case, let's release the water!"

The soldiers dug through the high water source long ago, leaving only a thin dam to block it.

After a thunderous explosion, the torrent of water galloped towards Ningxia Town along the dug ditch.

Thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city and under the city all watched this thrilling and spectacular moment. They saw the water splashing and transpiring like snow, and heard the sound of water roaring and thunder exploding.

The sky is full of water and clouds, and the wind and waves sweep the ground...

Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva, the natural power of heaven, such as the power of a servant, can't be matched by human power.

Xiaobai was dressed in military uniform and was guarded by his own soldiers, quietly watching this scene.The calm expression seemed to have been prepared long ago, and there was no trace of panic. This performance reassured many soldiers and civilians in the city.

Liu Dongyang, who had always been gloomy beside him, found that while Xiaobai looked calm, he even raised his sleeves to cover his mouth several times during the period.

Every time he raised his sleeves, the complexion of the arrogant and self-appointed king seemed to turn a little pale...

Thirteen days later, the water outside the city of Ningxia was eight or nine feet deep, and a gust of wind blew in, sparkling waves on the surface of the water.

The sky is still white with snow, and the sky is the same color, with no trace of snow falling, and there is a strange sense of harmony.

Since the water was released, the hostile parties outside the city and inside the city seemed to have entered a short-term balance.

In the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Changluo was not idle, and issued several orders in succession.

The first order sent a letter to the Pinglu camp on the North Road, asking Xiao Ruxun to step up his defenses. If the Mongolian soldiers attacked, he had to stick to it and not seek a big victory. If the Mongolian soldiers came from Shapaikou in the southeast, Don't worry about him, let him come and go.

The second order ordered Ma Gui to organize people to build a hundred assault boats overnight, not seeking fineness, but only firmness, and it must be built within [-] days.

The third order was given to Li Ruzhang and the guerrilla general Gong Zijing, asking them to lead [-] troops to set up an ambush at Shapaikou.If you find that there is an enemy surprise attack, you can fight if you can, and retreat if you can't.

The fourth order was given to Dong Yiyuan, the commander in chief, to lead 3000 troops deep into the northern grasslands. As for what to do, he didn't tell anyone about it.But seeing Dong Yiyuan's blooming expression after he got the order was enough to make those general soldiers who were itching to do nothing hate their teeth itching.

The last order was given to all the soldiers headed by Li Rusong. There were no specific instructions, only the words "concentrate on and fight with all your strength".

Not to mention that Zhu Changluo arranged everything in an orderly manner, the corresponding thing is that the city of Ningxia has become a mess.

For more than ten days in a row, the torrential flooding was like flooding the mountains and rivers. There was a vast ocean outside the city, and the inside of the city was already in chaos.Water continued to pour into the city along the cracks in various places. In just a dozen days, all the low-lying places in the city were flooded.

The solid city walls that had been relied on by the Qi family army had begun to loosen under the water soaking, and piping appeared in many places.The plumbing is the most frightening thing. At first, it might be just a pin-sized eye, but after a while, you will find that the pin-sized eye has become the size of a bowl, and then it will continue to grow until the wall collapses.

Chengen, who hadn't had a good rest for more than ten days in a row, commanded the soldiers and civilians everywhere with red eyes and a knife in his hands.It's a pity that blocking the east wall can't block the west wall. The north wall is the most serious of the four walls. Up to now, no matter whether Chengen is willing to admit it or not, this Ningxia city is really almost unable to hold on.

The people in the city are suffering even more, the water level is getting higher and higher, and they have to move to the roof or live in a high place. How can they bear it when the weather is cold and there is no food or clothing.So there have been several military and civilian fights in the city in the past few days, and the people's request is very simple: the leaflet notice said that the imperial court had pardoned the capital crime of treason for the Yibai clan.

As Zhu Changluo expected at the time, once the anger of the 30 soldiers and civilians in Ningxia was aroused, the mere 3 horses in Qibai would be scum.

Sure enough, after several successive suppressions, not only did the conflicts not decrease, but they tended to become more and more serious.

The city of Ningxia at this moment is like a huge powder keg, which may erupt at any time.

And once it explodes, it's enough to smash anyone to pieces.

Qiao Chengen stared at a pair of red eyes, and strode into the governor's mansion.

Under the dim light, Xiaobai's face was pale and sallow. He had started to cough up blood on the city wall since the day the water was released, and it had gotten worse in the past few days.

"Ama, it's impossible to go on like this." Chengen's voice was full of anxiety.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by him, just from the blood he brought, Xie Bai can also imagine what is going on in the city at this moment.

Xiaobai, who stood up slowly, sighed, and handed over the decree that he had prepared a long time ago to Xiaochengen.

"Issue my decree and hang the four gates. It is said that in order to monopolize the military merits, Prince Rui is determined to put us to death. It is not that I will not surrender, but that the imperial court has already issued an iron ticket to recruit security, but Prince Rui has withheld it privately. ; and Prince Rui has already released the words that when the city is broken, the people in the city will not be left alone."

Chengen hesitated a bit: "Ama, it's okay to do this at present, but in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Bai Bai: "I can't wait to see you." Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said, "That's it! Otherwise, we can't temporarily anger the people. Only in this way can the people's resentment be passed on to them. Otherwise, the disaster of our clan's extinction will only happen in an instant!"

Unknowingly, Yan Cheng'en was sweating on his forehead, and he didn't even bother to wipe it off, so he turned and left.

Qiao Bai raised his voice and shouted: "Come back!"

Qiao Chengen turned around in astonishment, only to see Qiaobai cough a few times: "Go and send a few people down to the city at night to see if we can dig embankments to release water..."

The flesh on his face trembled a few times, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Chengen suddenly felt amused: Is your old man really confused or fake?Sighing: "Ama...do you think this is okay?"

"Idiot..." Xie Bai closed his eyes fiercely, "If this plan fails, send someone to find Prince Rui for peace talks, say that we agree to surrender, let him release the water first, and then they will lead the troops When entering the city, make peace if you can, and if you can't... it's time for us to fight to the death!"

"You don't need to panic too much. Huo Chiluo and Bu Shitu must have gotten the information at this moment. If they lead an army to kill us, we may still have a chance." Having said this, Bai Bai's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the two A fierce light pressed towards Cheng'en: "With the company of 30 people in this city, our death is not worth it!"

Only now did Chengen understand his father's intentions. He was listless and dying, but at this moment he became excited like a chicken blood.

In front of him, Chengen's face blurred for a while, and he suddenly moaned and sighed in a long voice: "If Yun'er was here, he would definitely come up with a better way to rescue him, but it's a pity..."

Although the voice was low, Chengen still heard it, and immediately burst into anger.

At this critical moment of life and death, my father still misses that guy in his heart!

Chengen almost gritted his teeth and laughed out loud: "I want to teach Ahma that your good son may have died in the hands of that little prince, but don't worry, if he can come out alive this time, I will definitely go there personally." The pole hanging on the head helped you find him." After speaking, he turned and left, not even bothering to pay his father who was shaking into a ball behind him.

There was no moon in the night sky, and the galaxy was shining brightly. Zhu Changluo looked up to the sky with his hands behind his back to watch the stars, while Ye He followed silently beside him.

After entering the account, Ye He frowned, and his voice became a little hoarse when he opened his mouth.

"...I'm going back to Longhu Mountain once the battle here is over."

Zhu Changluo turned his head, looked at him in a daze, and suddenly sighed: "Before I make a conclusion, I'm just doubting."

A frenzy flashed in the cold eyes, and Ye He stared at him firmly: "You know? When did you know?"

Zhu Changluo has already made a decision. Now that things are up to now, it is much better to let some things out than to keep them in your heart.

Since the battle with Xiaoyun, Ye He has seen all kinds of depression and haggardness in his eyes and kept them in his heart.

No matter what role the real person Chongxu plays on his side, Ye He is indeed the only brother he can confide in so far. No one can replace this point. The friendship cultivated through life and death is How precious, only the person concerned knows best.

"Do you still remember what Xiaoyun said to me outside Ningxia City when he threatened me?"

Ye He nodded, his voice suddenly lowered, "...what did he say to you?"

That snowy night was the last thing he wanted to think about. Zhu Changluo smiled bitterly, "He said...he knew that I was poisoned, and it wasn't unsolvable."

Ye He straightened up suddenly, the light in his eyes was like a sword drawn out of its sheath, "Really? He really said that?"

Zhu Changluo looked at Ye He, and suddenly smiled and said: "Ye He, when you rescued me to Liaodong, you asked me about my origin three times on the way, but I didn't tell you. But I told you, there are some things I might not know Tell you, but I will never lie to you in this life, you have to remember this sentence, it was like this before, it is like this now, and it will still be like this in the future, this will never change."

The light reflects people's hearts, and Ye He's face changes with the light and shadow, just like his state of mind at the moment.

Zhu Changluo walked up a few steps and held his hand, "The people who poisoned me were the ones who started it with Gu Xiancheng and Concubine Zheng, but the only people who knew that I was poisoned were Senior Brother Song Yizhi and Senior Brother Miao Que, but... 哱How does the cloud know?"

"Since then, have you started to doubt him?"

Zhu Changluo shook his head, the tall fairy-like back appeared in front of his eyes, and suddenly remembered the murderous "Tao" character, and there seemed to be a thousand catties of olives in his mouth, sour, astringent and full of aftertaste.

"Although it was suspected at that time, it was not confirmed, so I didn't tell you."

In the dark night, Zhu Changluo's eyes were still as clear as water, but Ye He could already see the faint uneasiness lurking in them,
"Ye He, you won't blame me for hiding it from you, will you?"

Ye He looked at him intently, focused and serious, and shook his head after a long time: "No wonder, you have been acting strange to me since that day."

Suspecting that Ye He had always been a thorn in Zhu Changluo's heart, the thorn pierced his heart, but the pain was in his body.

The lights had been turned off at some point, and the tent was pitch-black and silent, only the eyes of the two of them were shining faintly.

A faint voice flowed in the room: "Although I don't know martial arts, I know that Xiao Yun is not your opponent."

Lowering his head, his voice has become heavy.

"And... I also heard that person's laughter."

"There is only one person in this world who can let you let him go, am I right?"

No one spoke for a while in the darkness, Ye He could feel it even though he lowered his head, there was a pair of dark eyes staring at him behind him, as if his life and death were all tied to the words he was about to blurt out.

But how should I answer him?

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tent, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps running towards this side.

Then a loud voice sounded: "Your Highness, the spy who ran out of the city has been caught!"
