Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 228

The figure faded away, the bead curtain flickered and swayed, and in the next step, she was already wrapped into a warm embrace.

"No matter how many people leave, long song,"

His scorching breath clung to her delicate ears, the heat seemed to suffocate all the desolation in the world that had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"... Please believe that I will always be by your side."

At the end of March in the fifth year of Qianyuan, after the siege lasted for a month and a half, Xiliang, who had been besieging Nanmin without fighting, made countermeasures, and ordered people to spread Shui Jingchen, who had colluded with Xiliang for a long time, and was going to kill the king Xianducheng with both inside and outside. The news made the extremely suspicious Nanmin Wang An Tianqing suspicious of the Shangshan family because of his background. He avoided Shui Jingchen whenever he was on important military and state affairs, and despite Shui Jingchen's persuasion and obstruction, he used his own in-laws. Grand Sima Nie Ziya was the chief general. Nie Ziya was known as a "Confucian General" in the Nanmin Dynasty. He was a scholar. He was most famous for having memorized a book "Theory of Soldiers" by heart. Unfortunately, he was a master on paper, but an idiot in actual combat. In the battle, the infantry was pulled out, and the phalanx advanced, but was scattered by Xiliang's iron cavalry in a turbulent manner. When the formation was chaotic, Xiliang used infantry to hide in, killing a big wave washing the sand.

After this disastrous defeat, Nie Ziya didn't think there was anything wrong with his tactics, so he rejected Shui Jingchen's three consecutive pegasus transmissions, threw his slips into the bonfire without tearing them apart, and beat Shui Jialai with a stick. Going out of the camp, he continued to mobilize his troops and was ambitious to confront Xiliang.

It is said that Shui Jingchen heard about it, but he just smiled calmly and played the qin for a day on the top of Junshan Mountain, the highest in the city. At the end, he pushed the qin and left, laughing: "Shuzi is not enough to plan, and there will be no Nanmin in the world." On that day, he led Shangshan The family withdrew from Dayan City.

Nie Zixia sneered at this, "It's alarmist!" Three times he went to the table to persuade An Tianqing, who planned to continue to defend the city, saying that the initial defeat was just an occasional mistake, and if he was given another chance, he would definitely defeat Xiliang. The swearing made him want to spill dog's blood, and he deduced four kinds of "exquisite formations" alone, each of which was "enough to destroy the Xiliang rats". "Learning a lesson", I specially ordered Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious day of rest and death, and determined that the dark day of March 29 was the most unlucky day of the month. It couldn't be better, so I decided to send troops on March [-].

I don’t want to think that March 29, the most unlucky day in his opinion, when no one would send troops, Xiliang attacked the city quietly. , the reinforcements were not dispatched in time, and the guards at the top of the city were weaker than before. However, the Xiliang soldiers who attacked the top of Nanmin Dayan City not only brought blood-stained swords, powerful catapults, giant wooden rocks and other murderous weapons, they were still there. Each person's clothes were painted with the totem of the Nanmin Chichi God Sect. When the ferocious three-legged fire-colored giant snake rushed into the eyes, many soldiers who were also Chichi Cultists immediately knelt down in fear, full of devout faith Worshiping the great god, and then being captured unceremoniously by Xiliang.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

When the city tower was occupied, the city gate was broken, and the torrent of iron armor from Xiliang rushed into the capital of Nanmin continuously, and quickly surrounded the Nanmin palace, An Tianqing, who had lost all power, killed Nie Zixia angrily, and wanted to call on all the guards and eunuchs in the palace to defend to the death. , but was ordered by Shan Shao to burn down the palace, the flames blazed, and the whole palace fled in panic. An Tianqing, who fell into a state of madness and despair, climbed up the high platform and brandished his waist knife, ordering everyone to resist the incoming enemy, but was pushed off the high platform by the eunuch Lu Cheng. It was smashed into meat, and then the head was cut off for reward, and the body disappeared among the rebellious army.

Nanmin, perish.

"A country has permanently disappeared from the map of Neichuan." Qin Changge looked at the latest military newspaper in his palm with a calm expression, showing a smile that was not surprising, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"This is not my work alone. The plan for Nan Min was decided by the three of us." Xiao Jue smiled brightly, "You don't have to be humble."

"Letting An Tianqing use Nie Ziya is not my ability. Thanks to Feihuan, who has the well-informed information and has taken precautions early on. He has insiders beside the Lord of Nanmin and the Nie family in the middle of the court. In addition, this coincidence , Xuan Chi Palace also lost a lot of vitality, otherwise our army will inevitably suffer when those strange things are used."

"I don't know where Shui Jingchen is now?" Xiao Jue frowned bitterly and said, "My Mingxia Sword is still in his place."

"Either go to Dongyan, or go to the mountains like Xuanzhi Palace..." Qin Changge slowly sneered, and said, "Ah Jue, believe it or not, there must be many people who want to kill me now. "

Xiao Jue sneered, "Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair."

Qin Changge smiled and shook his head, "Ah Jue, you look more like a bandit than an emperor."

Xiao Jue stroked her smooth long hair, and said softly: "Who do you think will kill you? Kings of all countries?"

"That's natural, but the reasons may not be the same," Qin Changge smiled, "I have ordered the Phoenix Alliance to pay attention to the recent movements in the capital. The Sixth Battalion changes defense, no matter who it is, I want him to come and go."

She suddenly looked at Xiao Jue a little funny, "There are spies from various countries in the capital, and several countries follow the route of high-ranking officials. I have established a system for all official affairs in the court, but anyone who leaks will be severely punished. Deputy Privy Envoy He Anxian, as you know, the real reason for dismissal is this... Speaking of which, we have found out the master who tricked Jiang Chuanyun to give you medicine, and guess who it is?"

Xiao Jue blushed, thought for a while and said, "Shui Jingchen?"

"Yes!" Qin Changge sneered, "Master Hu, who was born as a scissors in Pofengzhai in Heicha Mountain, devoted himself to serving in the Minister's House of the Ministry of Officials, and became a little clean-up man who was underestimated by others. What a ridiculous identity. And that peerless sage, the son of the Shui family who is as noble and holy as the snow on the holy mountain, is really as incongruous as the heavens and the earth."

"It's really him... Why on earth did he not hesitate to perform such a lowly job and lurk in Xiliang?"

"I'm still looking for the reason," Qin Changge pondered, "The Color Gu Sect was originally a spy sent by the Xuanchi Palace, but it was probably because of Yunhua that he fell in love with... The Gu forces withdrew, but Shui Jingchen, who was behind the oriole, took advantage of him to be alone, and killed him all in one piece. But Shui Jingchen saw that the Caigu Sect, an important force in the Xuanchi Palace, was alone. , took the opportunity to strike, and then pushed it on Xiliang, trying to cause conflicts between Xuanchi Palace and Xiliang, or did it have other deep meanings, and I haven't found out yet."

She probably thought of Xiao Jue's embarrassment that night, and smiled slightly, Xiao Jue blushed again, reached out and grabbed her hand, and said softly: "Changge, I have never been sorry to you... Do you know how long I've been lonely?"

The candle shadow of Longzhang Palace was shaking red, reflecting his handsome brows, his eyes were full of affection, swaying slightly.

Qin Changge's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't prevent this daring guy from asking this ambiguous question in broad daylight, this... how to answer?

"I don't know how long you've been lonely."?
No, what if he said, "Is it okay to let you know now?" Wouldn't it be over?
"I know how long you've been lonely."?
If it still doesn't work, if he says, "Now that you know, let me...", that's even worse.

"How long you are lonely is none of my business."?
That... is too blunt?

Qin Changge, who had a zero IQ when he encountered a love affair, frantically thought about how to answer this sentence, and finally decided to talk about him from left to right.

"That... I'm leaving get off work."

Xiao Jue had already hugged her with a light smile, and said: "I knew you would say this... Chang Ge, you would still blush because of me, I already feel very happy."

Qin Changge pursed his lips, put his hands on his chest, resisting his wolf claws, and said with a smile, "Why not? I am a normal woman, and I will blush when I see a handsome guy. This is a physiological reaction."

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Xiao Jue shook his head and smiled, "I don't care, you don't want to escape, don't use your current male attire to prevaricate me, what you wear, what you look like, I don't care, I Just remember that you are Changge."

He hugged her tightly with a sigh, and said in a low voice: "Every step is so difficult...I probably owed you several lifetimes, so I have to pay it back over and over again in this lifetime."

"I think I owe you. There is no peace in going around life and death." Qin Changge replied humbly.

Xiao Jue smiled softly and said: "Whoever owes whom, don't worry about it, it's all fate..."

"Let me in!"

The shrill female voice pierced through the quiet and warm air inside and outside Longzhang Palace, carrying blazing anger into the ears of the two.

Qin Changge raised his head and smiled, raised his eyebrows, "Look, I said there is no peace."

Xiao Jue said angrily, "What are the guards of Longzhang Palace doing? Didn't they say that no one should disturb them!"

"How do you want someone to stop you?" Qin Changge glanced at him, "Your favorite concubine, your noble wife wants to come to see her husband, and she rushes in regardless. The guards are all men, so how can you reach out?" Go stop? Touch the jade bodies of your beauties? It's even more impossible to use weapons. If your favorite concubine is disrespectful, they can't bear it and walk away."

Xiao Jue turned to look at her with a smile on his face, "Chang Ge, are you jealous?"

Looking at the sky helplessly, Qin Changge had no choice but to pretend not to hear the narcissistic emperor's question, "Your Majesty, you should figure out how to appease them. Concubine Yao's father was dismissed yesterday for corruption. She must come to intercede. Your husband and wife Lady of the boudoir, I'm afraid of seeing a needle's eye, so I'll take my leave first."

She didn't wait for Xiao Jue's answer, she got up and left, and Xiao Jue said bitterly behind her: "I abolished them."

Qin Changge waved his hand indifferently, Shi Shiran walked out of the hall, out of the gate of Longzhang Palace, suddenly a red shadow flashed in the noisy place in front of him, and there were a few crisp crackling sounds, Yao Concubine He Jingyao had already slapped several guards on the face , Liu Mei ran inward with upside down.
