The best princess

Chapter 124 A Battlefield Without Gunpowder ([-])
"Zhaizhu!"

Fu Youran looked over after hearing the reputation, and Chang Jiu stood by the city gate with an excited expression on his face.

Looking at his clothes, Fu Youran smiled and said, "You've done well, you've become a general." Although he was smiling, there were tears in his eyes.

Chang Jiu looked at Qi Yibei, then looked back at Fu Youran, "I still have the face to say that I will be the princess first, and then your majesty the empress, and I didn't tell me in advance that I mistakenly voted for the enemy. Kidnapping you, let's see how proud you are."

Fu Youran nodded again and again, "Okay, okay." She blinked quickly, not letting her tears fall, and took a step forward to hug Chang Jiu.

Chang Jiu moved aside, tilted her head, stretched out her little finger to scratch her eyebrows, and grinned, "It's not honest to be married, come with me, we'll talk about it later."

Fu Youran's eyes flashed, she turned her face to look at Qi Yibei, and said to Chang Jiu, "He is Qi Yibei, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

Qi Yibei didn't understand why Fu Youran revealed his identity, Chang Jiu nodded, "I know, I met him when I was on the mountain, but I didn't expect him to be the prince of Dajin."

Fu Youran smiled, and patted Chang Jiu on the shoulder, "Let's go, I heard that Niu Daxia is here, and after knowing that the cottage is gone, he is the one I am most worried about."

Chang Jiu led the way and said as he walked, "He misses you too."

Passing through the dark city gate, Fu Youran was finally in the Iron Guard City. With the dim light, his eyes were full of Chu Jun's figure. Qi Yibei frowned suddenly, "Where's Brother Gu?"

Chang Jiu didn't look back, and walked straight forward. Fu Youran followed him quietly with her face downcast, with no expression on her face.

Qi Yibei's footsteps paused, "Youran..." Just as he uttered two words, he suddenly heard the sound of killing from the city gate behind him, and there was an ambush outside the city gate. Then the gate of the city was slowly closed, and with a sound of "Squeak—Dang!", the Chu army who entered the city panicked, and Fu Youran and others were trapped in the city like this.

Seeing this situation, Qi Yibei understood that Fu Youran lost the bet after all, and Chang Jiu betrayed her.

The lieutenant who was following Fu Youran was furious and shouted "Guard!" Then he stepped forward and grabbed Chang Jiu's collar, drew out a knife and pressed his neck, "Open the city gate and let us out!"

Chang Jiu sneered, "It's too late."

The deputy general was furious, he drew his knife and slashed, but someone stopped him by the wrist. Looking back, it was Fu Youran.

Fu Youran looked at Chang Jiu expressionlessly, but said to the deputy general, "General Li, restrain the soldiers and do not use force without orders."

"Your Majesty!" Lieutenant General Li's eyes were red with anger, "We will never surrender! We will protect Your Majesty to the death!"

Fu Youran shouted loudly, "This is an imperial decree!"

Lieutenant General Li trembled all over, and Fu Youran sighed, "We only have a few thousand people, so there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices."

"That's right." Chang Jiu patted Lieutenant General Li's hand away, "Listen to your Majesty's words, and you can live a few more days."

Just saying this, the surroundings suddenly brightened.Hundreds of torches illuminated the square in front of the city gate as brightly as day, Qi Yibei narrowed his eyes, and his vision returned to normal. After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, he took a step forward hurriedly, protecting Fu Youran Behind them - countless archers occupy the high ground, all of them are holding arrows and drawing bows, and the arrow tips are all pointing to the same place.

Seeing this stance, the resisting Chu army withdrew their hands, and then countless soldiers wearing red belts rushed forward and took down all the bundles tied by the hundreds of people around Fu Youran.

Fu Youran ignored the sharp arrow pointed at her, scanned for a week, met Chang Jiu's eyes, "Where's Brother Gu?"

Chang Jiu shrugged, "Empress, don't worry, the second head will be fine, and you will be reunited in a while."

"General Chang, well done!" A muffled voice came, "You captured Fu Chu's empress, and you will be promoted to rank afterward. Your achievements are limitless."

Chang Jiu turned sideways slightly, and a fat body stopped there riding a horse, wearing the same deputy general uniform as Chang Jiu.Chang Jiu said coldly: "Xi Yan, are you not convinced?"

Xi Yan gave a strange laugh, "Where is it, I just admire General Chang for being so shameless, using the trust of his brothers in the past to take the position."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Chang Jiu's face, and his smile was a bit ferocious, "Vice General Xi praised you, today's matter would not be successful without Brother Xi's assistance, and Liu Shuai will return to the city tomorrow, so I will explain to him what Brother Xi is about." great merit."

A look of joy flashed across Xi Yan's eyes. He lowered his body, got off his horse, and walked to Chang Jiu with a smile on his face. Will fly to the top..."

Speaking of this, Xi Yan's chubby face suddenly became vicious, and at some point there was a dagger in his hand. Fu Youran's lips parted slightly, and she was about to breathe out. Before that, Chang Jiu quickly grabbed Li The lieutenant general's knife, without hesitation, raised the knife and dropped it. Xi Yan's fat head left his equally fat body and flew to one side. Xi Yan didn't understand until the end, it was obviously him who threw the knife first.

The warm liquid splashed onto Fu Youran's face. Fu Youran didn't expect the matter to develop so far, she touched her face blankly, and then held her finger in front of her eyes to look at it. Qi Yibei frowned tightly and stood in front of Fu Youran. before, so as not to let her see a more bloody picture.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Chang Jiu dropped the knife in his hand, looked around, and said loudly: "When Empress Fu Chu was captured alive, the Chu army resisted stubbornly, and Deputy General Xi died for the country in chaos."

"Heroic soul ascends to heaven!"

The same sentence, from all directions, uniform.This is the habit of the soldiers of the Chu army. After each battle, they will try their best to make a list of those who died for the country, and then all the brothers will send them on the road.

Obviously this kind of spirit has been well sublimated here, and somehow he became a martyr, the family pension was doubled, and Xi Yan died a worthy death.

"It's really Kuai Dao Chang Jiu. I haven't seen you for a few months, and my kung fu has improved again." A voice full of sarcasm came, and Fu Youran tilted her head. Brother Gu was tied up not far away, his face was full of gloom .

A soldier with a red belt on his arm quickly ran up to Chang Jiu, "General, I found this on him."

It was a loud quiver, and Brother Gu was attacked before he could put it in the sky.

Chang Jiu looked at it, didn't say anything, ordered someone to carry Xi Yan's body away, then looked in the direction of Brother Gu, and said loudly: "General Liu Pi, you have worked hard."

A short figure flashed out from behind Brother Gu. Fu Youran remembered that he was Brother Gu's personal bodyguard.

Brother Gu glared at him, "Liu Ying, I treat you kindly, I didn't expect you to be from Liu Kaishan."

A bright light flashed in Liu Ying's narrow eyes, "His surname is Liu, and I am also surnamed Liu, so of course I have to help him."

Chang Jiu snorted and said, "General Liu Pi, you have been hiding in Fu Chu's army for half a year. Your father will definitely not underestimate you this time."

Brother Gu suddenly realized that he was Liu Kaishan's son.

This is really defense by day and night, and it is hard to guard against house thieves. This Liu Ying, not amazing in appearance, reticent, usually has nothing outstanding, but just now she showed amazing martial arts skills, and joined a few accomplices who thought they were undercover , Take Brother Gu down in one fell swoop.

Predictably, the three thousand sergeants were also controlled by Chang Jiu's men.

Fu Youran's complexion was a little pale, and she let out a wry smile, "I really made the wrong choice."

Qi Yibei reached out to wipe the blood splattered on her face, turned around, looked at Chang Jiu and said, "What do you want to do next?"

Chang Jiu stared at him without making a sound, and asked behind him after a while, "Where is the abandoned child?"

After a while, the abandoned girl who was also tied up like a zongzi was brought over with a cloth ball stuffed in her mouth.Seeing Chang Jiu, he twisted his body, as if he was going to rush over to beat him up. Chang Jiu stepped forward and tore off the cloth ball in his mouth, and greeted him with a series of standard curses mixed with the dialect of Anyang area. To elaborate, it is very ugly.

Chang Jiu stuffed the cloth back again, "Qiya, don't blame me, everyone has his own ambitions, I will send you to send the second head home now, after that, whether you stay there or come back here, it's up to you."

Qi Yibei didn't understand again, since he was arrested, why did he put him back?

A general came up beside Chang Jiu and said, "General, why did you put it back? If Liu Shuai knew about this, he might not be happy."

Chang Jiu glanced at him, "We captured Fu Chu's empress, which is better than anyone else. Let him go back for another purpose. Those old men will be cruel and will attack the city with all their strength regardless of the empress's life, but he will not Yes, the life of the empress is more important to him than anything else."

Hearing what Chang Jiu said, the general stopped talking, and Chang Jiu walked up to Brother Bone again, "Go back and tell them that as long as they don't act rashly, everything can be negotiated. Wang Zhenqing doesn't want to fight, he just wants to divide the river and rule it. As long as the queen agrees, he will not make things difficult."

Brother Gu's pupils shrank, and as soon as his lips moved, Chang Jiu turned to his back and said, "Order one hundred soldiers, hand them over to Qiya, and send General Gu out of the city." Then he turned back and confessed to Qiya: "I hope You can come back."

Abandoned girl's face was full of anger, and she said "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" when she looked at Fu Youran. Fu Youran was surrounded by the enemy army and couldn't move. Tears gushed out of Ya's eyes, and his body trembled, as if he was enduring great pain.

Chang Jiu walked to Fu Youran's side, "I also ask Your Majesty the Queen to move up the tower, so that your soldiers will stop attacking the city blindly, and let your ambush troops retreat."

Fu Youran raised her head, looked at Chang Jiu, and smiled very weakly, "Your literary talent has improved a lot."

Chang Jiu smiled indifferently, "I copied so many articles for you before, and it wasn't for nothing."

Fu Youran nodded, turned around and pulled Qi Yibei, and said to Chang Jiu: "Release the Chu army trapped in the city."

Chang Jiu hesitated for a while, and Fu Youran said, "It's useless for you to keep them, and it will waste food."

Chang Jiu thought for a while, "We have to wait for Liu Shuai to come back to make a decision."

Fu Youran was a little disappointed, looked at Lieutenant General Li who was worried and angry, and said softly: "Don't worry, they want to negotiate with me, they won't hurt me."

Chang Jiu nodded and said, "Her Majesty can understand."

Fu Youran went to the top of the city tower, there was chaos outside the east gate, Chang Jiu sent people to beat the gong for a long time, and the two sides fighting under the city finally stopped fighting, the soldiers of Fu Chu saw Fu Youran, could it be that they were anxious and anxious? Angry, Fu Youran calmed down everyone's emotions, and then said to Brother Gu: "Brother Gu will go back this time, and he must persuade General Sun and others not to move lightly."

After the confession was completed, Brother Gu and the abandoned girl were hung down under the tower, and then a hundred soldiers climbed down one after another. Chang Jiu poked his head out from the tower and shouted, "Second master, the abandoned girl can go and stay for herself." , these hundred soldiers will escort you back to the station, please make sure to let them return before dawn, if they fail to return or one is missing, don’t blame me for being unkind.”
