Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 582 Burning the City Wall
"Second Emperor's move is too much. To shake the morale of the army like this is really..." Xia Shengqing clenched her fists, restrained her doubts, and showed an expression of indignation on her face, but she couldn't help but glance at Xia Zijin from the corner of her eye. , Various thoughts quickly flashed across my mind.

He gritted his teeth, as if he had made some important decision, and saluted Xia Zijin respectfully, "Aunt Huang, although my nephew knew that these words were intentionally sent by him to shake the morale of our army, but in the city Most of the soldiers were skeptical, so they asked Aunt Huang and Jiu Qiantui to show up at the city wall together, so that the soldiers could feel at ease."

"Xia Qixuan." Xia Zijin glanced at him with a half-smile, took the teacup from Xin'er, lifted the lid, took a sip, raised her head again, and smiled sarcastically, "My princess sees that you are confused. Being led by the nose by Xia Qin, he spread rumors in order to let Lord Qiantose and Rong Shizi show up. This just proves that he has secretly planned to deal with the two of them. If he shows up at this time, he will be hit. His plan."

When Xia Qixuan was called out by her, he suddenly felt a cold ice penetrate into his heart. He always felt that there was something wrong with Xia Zijin's words, but what she said was justified. After her analysis , he couldn't help but believe it was.

However, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. He hesitated for a moment and wanted to speak, but Xia Zijin rubbed his head and spoke very tiredly. The world was originally the place where you and Xia Qin fought. When the emperor was alive, he always doted on this princess. No matter what, this princess will not allow a patricide thief to sit on the throne. If not, this princess will go underground in the future. I don’t even have the face to see my father.”

"That's why this princess came to this muddy water with you. But if you are willing to admit defeat and dare not compare with this princess's second brother, and think you are inferior, this princess thinks that you might as well surrender early and save yourself a lot of money." After a battle is fought, the people in the city will be ruined."

After saying that, she got up and left directly. Xin'er proudly glanced at Xia Qixuan, who was blinded by Xia Zijin's words, and turned around to follow behind her.Rong Yu's eyes flickered, he grinned, and left as well.

Xia Qixuan didn't react until their figures disappeared. He stood in place, closed his eyes, and kept moving his eyelids.After a while, he opened his eyes again, looked at the direction Xia Zijin was leaving, gritted his teeth, and a three-pointed sneer appeared on the corners of his lips.Xia Zijin talked about being selfless and being innocent, but in fact he was not interested in the throne. Do you really think he doesn't know?

Xia Qin glanced at the evil spirit, took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, turned and left.No matter how dissatisfied he was, he was still weak now. If he didn't cooperate with Xia Zijin, he would have no chance of winning against Xia Qin.The most urgent task is to solve Xia Qin first. How he and Xia Zijin will fight afterwards is another matter.

Thinking of what Xia Zijin said earlier, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.He was negligent about this matter. Even if Xia Shengqing was really injured at this juncture, he had to believe Xia Zijin's words and pretend that he was fine, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

Xia Zijin also knew this, so she opened her eyes and spoke nonsense.

Seeing that the rumors didn't work, Xia Qin led the soldiers to attack the city again. Xia Qin stood on the city wall and watched the waterwheel set up behind him, feeling strange. The wall sheds.

The general standing next to him twitched his nose, and then his expression changed, "Your Highness, grandson, this seems to be oil."

"Oil?" Xia Qin also smelled the pungent gasoline smell in the air, and couldn't help frowning. Before he could figure out what Xia Qin was going to do, he saw Xia Qin grinned grimly, waved his palm, and a row of bows and arrows behind him The hand stood out, and the burning arrow in the hand shot towards the city wall.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly resisted. However, the arrows did not know whether they were not strong enough or the archers were not strong enough, but they shot one by one onto the city wall, and the gasoline on the city wall was instantly ignited.

"This..." The general looked at his series of actions, with his palms on the hilt of his sword, and his brows were tightly frowned, also very incomprehensible.

Xia Qixuan sneered, and looked at Xia Qin with a hint of disdain, "General, don't panic, I'm afraid that the second uncle, the king, can't attack the city, so he came up with this stupid way to set fire to the city, what a pity The stones of this city wall are not afraid of fire at all, so what he did was just a useless effort."

Seeing his confident appearance, the general nodded accordingly. He naturally understood what Xia Qixuan said, but for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart not only did not disappear, but gradually expanded, making him tense up.

And Xia Qin below watched the fire spread in an instant, unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, Xiao Fu beside him smiled at him, and then comforted him, "Second prince, just rest assured, later, I want them to look good."

This method was dedicated to Xia Qin by him. It was just the preparatory work at the moment, and the highlight will be later. I hope these Yicheng soldiers will not panic after a while.

Xiao Fu lowered his head, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his lips.At this moment, Zhenwen, Yingyi and the others had already circled to the rear of the Wei army from outside the city.Because everyone's attention was on the battlefield, there were only a few people guarding the camp. Zhenwen and Yingyi sneaked in very smoothly. When they opened the curtain of one of the tents, they saw Wei Yuan's figure.

Wei Yuan was looking at Qingyun who had lost her mind and worried, when suddenly a gust of cold wind came in, causing her to turn her head quickly, and saw Zhenwen's figure, she immediately stood up, grabbed Qingyun's palm, and looked at them vigilantly, " What are you doing here?"

Although Zhenwen didn't know about her relationship with Qingyun, seeing Qingyun dressed as a maid, she couldn't help but feel a little strange that she was protecting her maid like this.But now is not the time to think about this matter, he and Ying Yi rushed over non-stop, just to rescue Wei Yuan while there was no one behind.

Immediately, he cupped his fists at Wei Yuan, "I've offended you."

Seeing him being so polite, Wei Yuan was just about to speak when he caught her expression, hit her neck, and then passed out with her eyes closed.Qingyun pulled out the dagger in her sleeve and stabbed at him, shouting coquettishly, "Who are you, how dare you be so bold! Get caught soon, follow me to see the second prince, maybe you can spare your little one." Life."

Seeing that she didn't mention her master at all in her words, but was loyal to Xia Qin, Zhenwen couldn't help but look at Ying, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Afterwards, Ying Yi let out a smirk, and leaned forward, before she could react, her wrist felt a pain, she subconsciously let go, and the dagger fell to the ground.Qing Yun's complexion suddenly changed, and she was about to back away, but was knocked unconscious by Ying Yi.

Only then did the two of them start their lightness kung fu, and quickly left with Wei Yuan's master and servant.All this, within the time of a stick of incense, Yingyi and Zhenwen left the place where the Wei army was stationed.Xia Qin never thought that someone would be so bold as to touch his back directly.

Seeing the city walls of Yicheng being burned red, his eyes showed exactly the same excitement as Xiao Fu's face.

Xia Tian glanced at Xiao Fu, saw him nodding, his eyes burst out with strong anticipation, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers who had previously controlled the water tanker came forward and sprayed water on the city wall with the water dragon. Puzzled, everyone roared with laughter.

"It's useless, no matter how much oil there is, it's futile to try to boil this city wall." Xia Qixuan watched his actions and shook his head, with a hint of pity in his expression.

"His Royal Highness, this is not oil, it seems to be water." The general moved his nose, but he didn't smell the same gasoline smell as before, so he spoke immediately.

Xia Qin was taken aback, and laughed like a Yicheng soldier, "Could it be that the second emperor uncle saw that the wall would not be burnt down, and he was afraid that it would be too embarrassing, so he personally poured water to extinguish the fire?"

Seeing him mocking Xia Qin, the general laughed dryly and wanted to agree with him, but he always felt that Xia Qin was not such a stupid person, and his anxiety became more and more serious, as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest .

The fire was quickly extinguished by the water dragon, Xia Qixuan looked at Xia Qin coldly, and said sarcastically, "Second Emperor Uncle, did you come here to perform a scene of burning the city wall to amuse my soldiers?"

The irony in the words was very obvious, Xia Qin ignored his words, but suddenly reached out to find the archer next to him to bring a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow in his direction.

Seeing that he was going to shoot him if he disagreed, Xia Qixuan's face turned pale, and just as he was about to dodge, he saw the sharp arrow pierced straight into the city wall.The sarcasm on Xia Qixuan's face instantly expanded, and just as he was about to sneer, he heard the sound of rocks breaking.

The sound of "click, click" gradually spread.The general standing next to him seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly changed his face, and hurried forward, grabbed him, dragged him and ran to the bottom of the city wall, "No! Wait, come down!"

The soldiers guarding the city didn't understand why he was flustered, and couldn't help but look at each other. Just as they were about to ask, the city wall collapsed suddenly, and screams rang out immediately.Xia Qixuan was dumbfounded as he watched the city wall shatter, "This...what's going on here?"

The general had a bitter face, "His Royal Highness, we have been tricked!"

Xia Qixuan didn't understand why, seeing flesh and blood flying all over the city, and all the soldiers fell to death at the bottom of the city, he couldn't help but throw off his palm, and roared at him, "What the hell is going on?"

"Your Highness Changsun, the city wall has been burned to the extreme, and then watered with cold water, so cold and hot, the rock is at a critical point. At this moment, it is like a hole is broken by an arrow. Just spread out like this, this is..." The general gritted his teeth, looked at the tragic scene in front of him, couldn't help closing his eyes, and shook his body.
