Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 223
Because of Xiao Muyun's small actions in the capital city, Xue Qing had a headache, so he had to stop attacking the city.

In just three days, Xue Qing had already lost three generals. What disturbed him the most was that his mother seemed to be unable to sit still.

It was very hard for me to get the right in my hands. If she accidentally let her step in again, it would be difficult to get her out in the future.

Xue Qing knew exactly what kind of person his mother was, so he couldn't take any risks.

In order to prevent greater losses, Xue Qing had to shrink his troops.In this way, Marquis Jingbian became much more relaxed, and at the same time bought some time for Yunxi.

Although the troops have shrunk a lot, they are still firmly surrounding the capital.The entire capital city is still a piece of iron barrels.

Xiao Mujin hadn't been idle for a while, ever since he discovered the ambition of the Yun family, his whole mind was devoted to Emperor Jing.

The Yun family was unreliable, so he naturally had to find a way out for himself.Showing courtesy in front of Emperor Jing every day, busy up and down.

Emperor Jing naturally saw his intention, and let him go after sighing.

Emperor Jing originally had five sons, and now this is the only son who is by his side.Although this son cannot inherit the country, Emperor Jing still enjoys the rare affection between father and son.

His only hope is that the crown prince is dead, one son was imprisoned, one son disappeared in the palace uprising, and now only a few-year-old child and the second son beside him are still left.

Xiao Mujin understood this truth better, he thought he was the only choice for Emperor Jing.Even if Emperor Jing releases Xiao Muling now, he can't threaten him at all.

Xiao Muling's crimes are well known to everyone, and no one would let a person like him sit in that position.

Xiao Mujin coaxed Emperor Jing while perfunctory the Yun family, and lived a comfortable life.

If it wasn't for Su Xiangqing's frequent reminders, he might get carried away.

……

Only five days have passed since the peaceful days in the capital.

Five days later, Xue Qing launched an attack again, this time the attack was extraordinarily fierce.The rebels rushed forward desperately, resorting to various tricks.

This made Jing Bianhou very difficult.

In such a tragic situation, even Prince Xuan appeared on the tower.He stood side by side with Jingbianhou on the tower, both of them were frowning.

"My lord, I'm afraid this city is about to lose its hold." Jing Bianhou looked a little worried today.

In the past few days, he has moved all the materials he could find in the city to the tower, and officials of all sizes in the city have also donated money and materials.

But it still couldn't stop the offensive of the rebels.

Xue Qing also learned to be smart this time.No longer directly leading people to rush up like the previous time.

This time he used all the catapults and crossbows.

After the rebels reached the attack distance, Xue Qing directly ordered the catapult to attack.Big stones hit the city wall one by one, and some flew far and directly hit the city tower.

Just as the archers on Jingbianhou's side were about to take the lead, a huge crossbow bolt flew towards them.These archers had to find a place to hide, not daring to show their faces.

Jing Bianhou's face was very ugly, Xue Qing obviously came prepared.

Because he found that the rebels erected rows of brand new large shields at an extremely fast speed.Those shields looked like they were newly cast.

Jing Bianhou picked up a pair of bows and arrows casually, raised his hand and shot an arrow.

From a distance, Hou Jingbian saw his arrowhead made of refined iron hit the shield and fell to the ground.But the shield was not shaken in the slightest.

"My lord, this batch of rebel equipment looks really good!" Jing Bianhou was a little surprised at the thickness of the shields.

Old Prince Xuan sighed, and said sadly: "Hey! This should be a new type of weapon cast from Lin'an Iron Mine. I didn't expect to see it here for the first time. It's really ironic."

Jing Bianhou's face was full of anger, and the veins on his hands burst out.

"These rebels!"

"It can only be blamed on our lack of precautions! All the good things under our noses have been stolen by these thieves! What a pity!"

The old prince is also regretful.He was also careless for a while, and the eyeliner of his subordinates did not report in time, which allowed Xue Qing to take advantage of the loophole.

While the two were talking, the rebels moved forward a lot.With heavy armor and shield soldiers opening the way, the rear siege troops also slowly approached the city wall.

"Not good! Archers!" Hou Jingbian shouted, and the rain of arrows aimed at the guards on the city wall.

"Be careful!" Jing Bianhou suddenly pulled the old prince Xuan back, and an arrow feather was stably inserted into the place where the old prince was standing just now.

Everyone was in a cold sweat.

"My lord, it's dangerous here, go down first!" Jing Bianhou was a little startled.

Old Prince Xuan's face was not very good-looking either. With a look of anger on his face, he pushed away the few people who stood in front of him.

Once again, he walked to the side of the tower and looked straight in the direction of the rebels.

He and Marquis Jingbian were at the highest point of the city tower, ordinary people's arrows would not be able to shoot here, so he wanted to see who was going to kill him.

"I haven't come out for many years and I don't know when there will be such a sharp archer! Hmph!" As he said so, the old prince's eyes were looking straight at a person on the carriage of the rebel general in the distance.

A man in Tsing Yi was standing next to Xue Qing with a bow and arrow in his hand, and he also raised his head to look towards the tower.

He also found that the arrow he just missed missed, and then he pulled out another arrow, aimed at Old Prince Xuan and shot it again.

The old prince also saw this scene, but he didn't move, but looked forward with a smile on his face.

The Marquis of Jingbian who was closest to him naturally also found out, and broke out in a cold sweat again, he was about to block the old prince.

At this moment, he discovered that someone not far from him also shot an arrow.The arrow that originally flew towards the old prince was shot down instantly.

It all happened between the electric light and the flint.

It was over in the blink of an eye, so many people didn't understand what happened.

"Good archery!" Jing Bianhou shouted loudly, then turned around to look for the archer.

When he saw the man holding the bow, his pupils contracted abruptly.

This sharp archer is actually the white-haired old man standing behind the old prince, Steward Han.

He had met Butler Han and knew that he was very skilled, but this bow and arrow was no better than others.In addition to having skills, there must be strength.You must know that Steward Han is already a gray-haired old man at this time.

"Butler Han is really disrespectful!" Hou Jingbian saluted respectfully.

Steward Han hurriedly took a step back and returned the gift, "Master Hou is absurdly praised, the villain is just a servant, so I don't deserve such a big gift from Master Hou."

Hou Jingbian shook his head again and again.

At this time, the old prince did not look at the two of them, and his eyes never left the archer opposite him.

"Old Han!" The old prince suddenly called out.

I saw the man on the opposite side raised his bow and arrow again.The only difference is that this time there are three arrow feathers on his bow.

Seeing this, Housekeeper Han, who was originally smiling, also became serious.

He still knows his own abilities.If the three arrows were fired at such a long distance back then, he would still be able to guarantee that he would hit all the hearts.

It's just that he's getting older now, and the strength in his hands is not as strong as before. If there is a slight deviation, the old prince will be in danger.

Now under such circumstances, Xiao Muyun is the only one who can shoot three arrows at such a distance and guarantee to hit the red heart.

The matter was urgent, Steward Han had no choice but to pick up three arrows and aim them into the distance.

He knew that the old prince would not retreat.The old prince's appearance on the tower today is like a needle for the city defenders. With him around, everyone can feel at ease.If he retreats at this time, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken.
