Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 306 The King Is Dead (10)
Just when they decided on Lu Hong's life and death, Shi Yan outside the city got a piece of news that made him extremely annoyed.

After he let Xu Che and Lu Hong go, he walked back. Before he walked back to the south city, someone came to report to him that a soldier in the north camp had escaped. The general is leading people to chase.

After hearing this, Shi Yan was annoyed for a while. Before he came to Dongcheng, he thought that the other party might use his voice to attack the west, but after seeing the brave Xu Che, he intuitively thought that this person might really be the main force of the camp. Out of town.

Lu Fusheng, who was accompanying him, saw his angry look and said: "General, I suspect that the person who left the city is Xu Lin, Luo Jinxing's bodyguard. He is extremely skilled and good at fighting alone. He and Xu Che are brothers. , presumably Xu Che is rushing here to protect his brother."

Shi Yan shook his whip resentfully, and said: "Xu Che, Xu Lin, these brothers are really capable! If he really moves a large number of soldiers and horses, it will be really troublesome!"

Lu Fusheng rolled his eyes and said, "General Shi, I don't think it's better than this. Now they can't communicate with each other inside and out. Why don't we scare him and tell him that Xu Lin is dead? If they believe it, they will definitely despair, and maybe they will start a war." If the city surrenders, even if he does not surrender, then Xu Che will come out to avenge his brother, and we will have another chance to catch him."

Shi Yan thought for a while and said, "Alright, we don't have anything to do with each other, so we might as well give it a try."

Xu Che in the city was still waiting for news from Xu Lin. Even though he fought all night, he still didn't sleep, and kept watching from the top of Beicheng.

Luo Jinxing and Xianglai were also worried about Xu Lin, neither of them returned to the palace, they were waiting here together.

When the sky was bright, the troops and horses of the Southern Liao army outside the northern city surged, as if the main general was returning to camp, and after a while the main general went to the commander's camp in the southern city.

Xianglai, Luo Jinxing, and Xu Che watched from the city, and then they also walked to the south city to see what would happen in the enemy army.

I saw that not long after the general entered Shuaiji Middle School, a group of people came out, beating gongs and drums, as if there was some happy event.

These people came all the way to the south of the city. Although Shi Yan was still among the crowd, he didn't come out in person this time. Instead, another general walked out from beside him. This person held a human head in his hand, and came to the city to show off his might. Shouted: "Xu Che! Look what this is..."

Xu Che, Luo Jinxing, and Xianglai lay on the crenel and looked down, but saw that the man's head was covered with blood, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

The general was even more proud to see all three of them appearing, and shouted: "This is the head of your brother Xu Lin! He wants to get out of our army, but there is no way! I have already dismembered him and threw his body away." Go feed the dog, there is only one human head left for you to recognize your relatives! Hahahaha..."

When Xu Che heard it, his blood surged up, his eyes became even more blood red after staying up all night, and he shouted, "You fart! That's not my brother!"

The man shouted: "Is it your brother, you know it in your heart! It is wishful thinking to think that you can get out of the camp safely by wearing the uniform of the Northern Liao Army! Now I will treat my soldiers as playthings to warn you of the Northern Liao Army." Liao soldiers, this is what happens when you break into the camp!"

After he finished speaking, he threw back the head in his hand and threw it into the group of soldiers behind him. After the head fell to the ground, the soldiers spread out to form a field and kicked the head like a ball. go.

Although Xu Che tried his best to tell himself that it wasn't the eldest brother, he still couldn't help believing it in his heart. Seeing the Southern Liao soldiers humiliating that head, he yelled madly: "Ah——!"

Then he picked up the long knife beside him and was about to rush down the city.

Seeing this, Luo Jinxing shouted, "Xu Che, what are you going to do?!"

Trembling with pain and anger, Xu Che turned around with the knife in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go and take back the head of Big Brother!"

Said to go down to the city again.

Luo Jinxing shouted: "Come back to me! The facts have not been determined yet, and if you continue like this, you will surely fall into their tricks!"

Xu Che paused for a moment, and said, "I can't control that much! Your majesty, it's the last time you will resist the order, and come back and let your majesty deal with it!"

Said to go down to the city again.

Seeing this, Xianglai quickly chased after him, grabbed his hand and said, "Xu Che, can you be more sober! Can you stop being so impulsive forever! Then if it's your elder brother, why would they cover their face with blood? It will be wiped clean for you to see! Why use this kind of trick to provoke you, as long as you let it go to the front of the army, you will desperately grab it!"

Xu Che was stopped by her words, but he refused to turn around.

Xianglai said again: "Believe me, you have been with me for so many years, have I ever lied to you? If I say it is not, then it must not be. If so, I will give you my head back!"

Xu Che finally turned around, looked into her eyes, and said, "Princess, but, but I'm really worried that that's my elder brother!"

Xianglai pulled him back again, and said: "Believe me, let's wait and see. I guess your elder brother broke out of the camp. They are worried that your elder brother will move back to rescue soldiers and it will be bad for them. They want to use this method to lure us." To expose your flaws and make it easier for them to attack the city, didn't you still bet with Shi Yan not to let the Southern Liao army step into the capital? If so, what is your promise? Where do you put the safety of the king and me?"

Xu Che gradually calmed down, withdrew his forward posture, and said, "Yes, princess, the general is too impulsive, no matter whether the head belongs to my elder brother or not, the general is not allowed to go out!"

Xianglai said: "Come back, I guarantee that it must not be!"

Only then did Xu Che follow her back to the city wall, but he walked elsewhere, not daring to look down.

Luo Jinxing stood on the edge of the city and looked down, and said to the lieutenant general who helped Xu Che defend the city: "Call the archers over, even if the head is not General Xu Lin's, it must belong to the warrior who broke into the camp last night. They cannot be insulted like this!"

The deputy general immediately went to call a team of archers, and shot down from the crenel with random arrows.

It's just that the distance is too far away. Although two of the soldiers who kicked the head were shot by arrows, they were not fatal, but they also broke up the team.

Seeing that the people in the city were not coming out, kicking the head was really no fun, so they hung the head on the flagpole, and the team went back to the camp.

Xu Che, who had gone around somewhere else, came back now, and watched the head hanging on the pole clenched his fists so hard that his joints rang.

Seeing that Xianglai had stayed in the city all night, Luo Jinxing was worried that something might happen to the fetus in her womb, and tried every means to persuade her to no avail, so he had to accompany her back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Luo Jinxing put Xianglai to sleep, but he couldn't kneel before the tomb of King Beiliao. He didn't know how he would face his father under the nine springs if Beiliao was really destroyed.

Kneeling until it was dark, Xu Che ran in from outside the palace excitedly, shouting as he ran, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Brother is not dead, brother is really not dead! He rushed out, he Signal me!"
