Empress Chu

"It's Captain Xie!"

"But isn't Xie Yanlai dead?"

Several people looked ahead, the young man standing among the corpses on the ground holding a blood flag, the flames jumped and shone on his face.

Flame and blood flags, fair face, phoenix eyes and cold brows.

"It's Xie Yanlai—" a guard murmured.

He never forgot this man.

Xie Yanlai used to be a guard of the imperial city, and it was also in such a night, he stood on the city wall, brandished a long knife, and shouted——

"Imperial city guards, protect the emperor."

The guard subconsciously raised his spirits, and shouted, "Anyone who dares to invade is a traitor—"

Even the guards murmured in a trance, "Lieutenant Xie has appeared—"

No matter whether they were excited or in a trance, they ran towards Xie Yanlai without hesitation.

The imperial guards were still running, but it was different from before. There were two groups of people, one side pointed their swords and guns at Xie Yanlai, while the other turned around and pointed their backs at Xie Yanlai.

"Escort—"

"Lieutenant Xie has an order, escort—"

……

……

Countless arrows flew up the city wall, and the soldiers and guards who couldn't avoid it fell down instantly. At the same time, rope and iron claws flew up, mixed with the sound of howling.

The whistling was like waves beating against the city wall, and the thick city wall seemed to be trembling.

Holding the knife, Liang Qiang looked down and saw densely packed soldiers and guards under the city wall. People kept falling down, but people kept climbing with ladders and wooden frames.

He looked back at the city wall, the flames, boulders, and arrows were all over the place, and the soldiers and guards used arrows and various tools to pour down the city wall.

He looked into the distance again, and the fighting sound in the city became louder, and it was still the imperial city.

"General, their siege engines are coming—" a soldier shouted.

That was about to hit the city gate, Liang Qiang turned around and ran down the city with the knife in hand.

"Kill the enemy with me—"

Some soldiers and guards subconsciously rushed to follow, some soldiers and guards didn't react for a while, and the next moment there was a rain of arrows and flying stones, some fell to the ground, some avoided, and the city wall fell into chaos again.

There are also soldiers and guards running under the city wall.

Compared with the above, the city gates guarded by the city walls are not as safe.

There were constant attacks in the city, intermittently, hiding and hiding. They couldn't kill them, but they couldn't kill them all. The guards couldn't leave the city gate and had to be distracted.

"Open the city gate—" Liang Qiang shouted suddenly, and rushed to the city gate first, "Kill the enemy with me—"

The guards at the city gate and the guards who followed him were in a daze, and they could understand me killing the enemy. It seemed wrong to open the city gate?

Liang Qiang had already arrived in front of the city gate, and two guards wanted to stop him, but Liang Qiang raised his hand and waved the knife, and the two guards fell to their knees.

"Open the city gate - kill the enemy -"

Although he has been supported by the Xie family so far, his bravery is fake, but his status is real, and the military orders are overwhelming.

"Liang Qiang, you bastard!" A general chased after him and shouted, "—take him down——"

But it was too late, the city gate slowly opened.

Liang Qiang grabbed a horse and galloped out.

"The gates of the city have been opened—after welcoming Chu, enter the city—" Liang Qiang shouted loudly, raising her knife at the same time.

He has already seen the phoenix flag flying behind the broken city car.

The woman is there.

If she had said that she met Xie Yanfang in the restaurant when she asked herself in the imperial city, would he be by her side now, fighting side by side?

If earlier, in Bianjun, she had saved his arm from the knife, he would have been honest with her about what happened, would he have been by her side, fighting side by side with her?

Liang Qiang looked at Feng Qi, who was getting closer, and saw the figure of the woman. She was riding a horse, holding a knife in her hand, and there was blood on the knife.

Since seeing her in the restaurant at that time, she has become more and more brave and invincible.

But he stepped back.

"Empress Chu—Liang Qiang welcomes you into the city—" Liang Qiang shouted again.

But before he finished speaking, there was an arrow flying in front of him, he subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and the horse neighed, and the man fell down.

"The queen enters the city - disarm but don't kill -"

"Queen enters the city—Surrender quickly—"

The soldiers and guards stepped on the ground, shouting like thunder, and the siege vehicles rumbled, splitting mountains and seas.

Chu Zhao looked ahead.

"It seems that someone was shouting something just now." Xiaoman whispered, "Surrender?"

Chu Zhao said lightly: "Do I still need to surrender now? Don't worry about it."

She looked at the city gate that had been knocked open ahead.

Soldiers and horses poured in like a tide.

Countless shouts also poured into the city.

"The queen enters the city - disarm but don't kill -"

……

……

The sound of fighting continued, even more violent than before, and the house seemed to be shaking, but the people in the house were not as frightened as before, but couldn't help but listen outside.

"listen--"

"The queen enters the city—"

"The Queen has entered the city—"

People held the children in their arms and rocked them gently.

"It's alright, it's alright."

……

……

The fighting in the city is not over, there are battles everywhere.

"If the imperial city cannot be conquered, we must enter and seize the household." Ding Dachui shouted, "Your Majesty, otherwise we will not be able to hold on."

This city has long been deployed by the Xie family, and the soldiers are deployed in the open and in the dark, and the city is built every step of the way.

Chu Zhao looked forward: "The most favorable portal is the imperial city."

Of course Ding Dachui knew that it must be the place where Xie's soldiers and horses were heavily defending, and——

"Your Majesty, if you enter the imperial city right now, if something happens to His Majesty." He whispered, "Then you—"

In that case, the world would really be in chaos, the world would be in chaos, and the status of queen would no longer be an advantage.

Chu Zhao looked forward and suddenly smiled: "No."

will not?

What Ding Dachui wanted to say, Chu Zhao had already urged his horse to go straight to the direction of the imperial city.

"Ding Hammer." Xiao Man held the knife in his left hand and said, "You were seriously injured once, and you have become less courageous."

Ding Dahui's face turned red: "No——"

"No? What are you doing without you thinking about things like this?" Xiaoman snorted, "It's all over, what else to think about, it's over—"

After finishing speaking, he swung his knife and galloped forward to chase Chu Zhao.

Laughter sounded from the side, and Ding Dachui glared at the men around him: "What are you laughing at! Didn't you hear the order? Hurry up and kill them!"

The men screamed strangely and rushed forward in disorder.

……

……

A lot of streets were coming, compared to the boiling city, the imperial city was sitting in a quiet place.

The high city wall was shrouded in darkness, silently, like a dead place.

The soldiers and horses running could not help but slow down.

"It looks like—" Ding Dachui couldn't help but want to speak again.

Chu Zhao's speed did not slow down at all, she galloped straight to the city gate, raised her head and shouted.

"Ajiu—"

The female voice echoed in front of the dead palace gate.

One after another.

The female voice is hoarse, dry, and not very nice.

The night-shrouded figure on the wall stack seemed to be unable to listen any longer, his legs shook, and he stood up.

"What are you shouting for?" he said, looking down at the city gate. "The gate is open."

Chapter No.17 Darkness

The influx of soldiers and horses brought the imperial city back to life.

The smell of blood also lingered in the nostrils along with the wind.

When I walked up the city wall just now, there were corpses all over the place, and the light of the fire could not illuminate the tragedy. I don't know what kind of hell I will see in the morning.

The man leaned against the city wall, and the night fell on him, shrouded in gloom.

When Xiaoman came over holding a torch for her, he stopped in disgust: "Are you stupid, do you want people to see me? Do you want me to die in vain?"

Chu Zhao asked Xiaoman to put away the torch and leave, and she touched him and leaned against the wall beside him.

Soldiers and horses trampled under the city gate, and newcomers were replaced on the city wall. The surroundings were noisy and chaotic, but the two of them leaned here, as if they were isolated from the world.

And no one spoke for a while.

It was Xie Yanlai who broke the silence first: "Hey."

Always say something.

Otherwise it looks weird.

When he spoke, Chu Zhao also spoke.

"Xie Yanlai." She said, "Why did you throw me down the mountain that day!"

Xie Yanlai was angry and funny: "What are you talking about!"

what time is thisWhat happened just now?Why can't this problem be changed, it happens every time, when it's obviously important, there are so many important things to say, but in the end it's inexplicably boring.

"Why is this so inexplicable?" Chu Zhao said angrily, clenching the hands hanging by his sides, "What if I fall to my death?"

Xie Yanlai said: "No, your mother will continue, we have discussed it."

"Have you discussed it? It's a mess, and who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?" Chu Zhao asked, "What if I really die!"

He said it as if he was afraid of death, if he was really afraid of death, why did he run back!

"You're still talking about me? What are you doing back here? You don't know that I'm here as a puppet, and you rush over to kill me, what if I'm killed?" Xie Yanlai raised her eyebrows and asked back.

Chu Zhao was angry, but burst out laughing inexplicably.

If you are really afraid of death, why would you come to be a puppet?

What is he for, she knows.
