Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Since Xin Wenli temporarily agreed to Xiancheng's surrender, Xin Yue'e's mood improved a lot.

Seeing that the three-day deadline agreed with the Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty was coming soon, Xin Yue'e was both happy and anxious.She was happy because she and Luo Cheng were getting closer, but worried because she was afraid that her brother would regret it at a critical moment.

The night before Xiancheng, it was almost midnight, Xinyue'e tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she got up suddenly, and wanted to tell her brother not to embarrass him too much when he meets Luo Cheng tomorrow in Xiancheng, but don't Luo Cheng was scared away, but as soon as she arrived at the door of brother and sister-in-law's room, she heard the voice of brother and sister-in-law talking from inside, and the content was related to her, so she held her breath and listened.

"I see that what you've been moaning for the past two days has something to do with offering the city tomorrow?" This was the voice of my sister-in-law.

"If it's not that one, which one is it? Yue'e doesn't know why she's lost her mind, she insists on persuading me to sacrifice the city and surrender, I have to think again."

"Didn't you already agree to Yue'e? How can you go back on your word?"

"You think I think about it? Isn't it because I'm afraid that Yue'e won't think about it. I don't necessarily have to sacrifice the city tomorrow. If Luo Cheng is dissatisfied, I will shake my head and you will give me a hand. Control that girl and don't let her She's messing around, it really doesn't work, just knock her unconscious behind her."

"Is this done?"

"Why can't it work? Now that Yue'e is back, we don't have anything to do with them. Instead, they should be worried. There are still eight generals in our hands. Whether to sacrifice the city or surrender depends on our faces." , we have the final say."

Xin Wenli's wife, Dongfang Shi, nodded after hearing this, and could only go along with her husband.

At this moment, Xin Wenli didn't know that his and his wife's secret plan would be heard by his sister. Xin Yue'e was annoyed when she heard it outside the door, and didn't bother to go in. She turned around, went down the tower, and went straight to The dungeon is gone.

That night, Xin Yue'e secretly released the eight Wagang generals back to the Western Wei Dynasty, and asked Wang Bodang to send a message to the Western Wei Emperor Li Mi, saying that they would sacrifice the city and surrender tomorrow morning.Before sacrificing the city, her brother wanted to talk to Luo Cheng about himself, and asked him to arrange it.

The reason why Xinyue'e let Wang Bodang and others go was to keep her promise. She had promised Li Mi that if she returned to Hongni Pass safely, she would release the eight generals of the Western Wei Dynasty. Shameless; secondly, it is to force my brother to make up his mind and make a decision, after all, he has no bargaining chips at this moment.

That night, Wang Bodang and others left Hongni Pass through the side door.

When it was dawn the next day, when Xin Wenli wanted to pull out the eight generals, he was told that the second lady had let them go last night. people".

He was let go, but he still wanted to see Luo Cheng.If this person can't pass his test, Xin Wenli has made up his mind, even if he tries his best, he will resist with the whole city to the end.

But at this moment, Xin Wenli, including Xin Yue'e, never thought about the promise of a marriage contract. Luo Cheng didn't know it at all, and it was all coaxed by Li Mi. , full of lies.

No, as soon as the city gate opened, a large group of people rushed out of the city gate, and the left and right teams opened up.A man and a horse appeared in the middle, it was Xin Wenli, the gatekeeper of Hong Ni.

Xin Yue'e wanted to go out, but because she had made arbitrarily advocated letting go of the eight generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, Xin Wenli was still angry with him, and ordered his wife Dongfang to watch her.

When Xin Wenli came up, he went straight to the point and shouted in the direction of Li Mi's driving: "Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, it is not difficult for me to offer Xin Wenli to surrender, but you have to let me see how Luo Cheng is doing first, I have something to say." To talk to him."

Luo Cheng was originally the commander in charge of tackling key problems, and he has already deployed them today. If his new family surrenders, let it go. , what can he say to him?He didn't know Xin Wenli either.

Luo Cheng turned his head to look at Xu Maogong beside him, and found that Xu Sange was also puzzled.

At this moment Li Mi spoke: "Luo Cheng, since the new general has something to say to you, you might as well go forward and talk to him."

Luo deliberately said, is the sun coming out from the west?He, Li Mi, is very suspicious, he does nothing, and people still suspect him of collaborating with the enemy, so he even took the initiative to ask him to come forward to explain.

But doubts are doubts, Luo Cheng still rode forward.

As soon as Luo Cheng showed up, even Xin Wenli had to admire the girl's eyesight. Just looking at the appearance, the appearance, the stately appearance, and the appearance of fluttering, it's no wonder that the girl who always has eyes above the top will fall in love with her.As for martial arts, he had heard about it a long time ago, so he didn't dare to underestimate him.

As soon as Luo Cheng arrived at the scene, he suddenly felt awkward. Xin Wenli looked at him with eyes, as if he was looking at an object, which made him uncomfortable.

"Luo Cheng, let me ask you, how old are you? Have you ever been married?"

Luo Cheng frowned. Why are the brothers and sisters so virtuous? They both asked exactly the same thing. Even so, Luo Cheng replied honestly: "Under eighteen, they have never been married."

"Then do you have a sweetheart?"

Speaking of the sweetheart, a tall figure vaguely appeared in Luo Cheng's mind, and he didn't know whether this was considered the category of the sweetheart. While hesitating, he heard Xin Wenli who was waiting impatiently, and shouted angrily. : "Yes, yes, no, no, why are you still hesitating? Are you thinking about how to deceive my brothers and sisters?"

When Luo Cheng was drunk by him, he almost lost his mind and blurted out: "Yes."

Xin Wenli was taken aback for a moment, apparently stunned by his clear and loud "yes", it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he was furious: "Okay, Luo Cheng, since you have a sweetheart, why are you still here?" Come to provoke my sister? My new Wenli is just this girl. I don’t want her to marry an official because she doesn’t understand those intrigues. I don’t want her to marry a rich man because I don’t want her to compete with a group of women for a man. It's good for you, if you have a sweetheart, you still want to marry my sister..."

Luo Cheng was confused and confused about the previous words, but Luo Cheng understood the last sentence - when did he say he was going to marry Xinyue'e? !

"When did I say I was going to marry Xinyue'e? I never thought about marrying your sister." Luo Cheng tried to explain, but the more he explained, the more fuel was added to the fire, causing Xin Wenli to raise his weapon and go to Luo Cheng. Greeted from the body.

Luo Cheng leaned aside and said, "Is there some misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding can there be? You villains from the Western Wei Dynasty! You want to rescue the eight generals and take my Hongni pass, but you don't want to spend a single soldier, so you use this kind of trick to trick my sister. You really treat me as my new brother and sister! If you can’t bully me, I’ll let you taste my sword today.”

Others didn't hear what the two of them said, but Xin Wenli suddenly raised his weapon and slashed at Luo Cheng. ? How did you start fighting so well?"

The Dongfang family was also puzzled. Although the husband did have a different heart last night, he got up this morning and heard that the eight generals of the Western Wei Dynasty had been released. They had no bargaining chips, and they could not beat the opponent. Unexpectedly, today they will indeed surrender, how can they still fight?

Before everyone could react, someone from the Western Wei Dynasty had already shouted: "Xin Wenli vowed to resist to the death, saying that he was surrendering, and he took the lead in attacking General Luo!"

"Let's not be polite to him at all, just go straight to Hongni and lock him up!"

"Exactly! He also killed our General Pei! Let's avenge Little General Pei!"

All of a sudden, the army of the Western Wei Dynasty was in a commotion, and the brigade was divided into four groups, from the southeast to the northwest, and forcibly broke into the gate of the city.

"Okay, I'll say that you Western Wei are ambitious! First, because my sister fell in love with you, then I used your marriage contract as a bait to let her release your general of the Western Wei secretly, and persuaded me to surrender. Now , was exposed by me, became angry from embarrassment, and forcibly attacked the city!"

"What are you talking about? Even if I, Luo Cheng, want Hong Ni to pass, I will do so openly, and I don't even bother to use this kind of trick!"

"Now you can say whatever you want!" Xin Wenli heard several screams, turned around and saw that soldiers from the Western Wei Dynasty had rushed into the city gate and killed the soldiers guarding Hongni Pass.

Those people are his confidants and brothers who have followed him for many years!Xin Wenli was furious, and shouted: "Luo Cheng, you are a fucking bastard. In order to deceive me, Hong Niguan, you really tried your best to deceive a woman! It's like you and I fight one-on-one! !come--"

Luo Cheng knew that there must be a misunderstanding, so he tolerated everything.

At this moment, the Xinyue'e and Dongfang clan on the city wall were completely caught off guard by the scene in front of them. The army of the Western Wei Dynasty occupied the gates of the city in a very organized manner and killed the soldiers guarding the city.

Xin Yue'e looked at the chaotic scene in disbelief, turned around and was about to run downstairs, but was stopped by her sister-in-law Dongfang: "Where are you going?"

Xin Yue'e said anxiously: "It was agreed to surrender, why did it suddenly become like this, no, I have to go downstairs and talk to Li Mi."

Dongfang said bitterly: "What are you going to do? To die? First promise your marriage with Luo Cheng, and then coax you to release his eight generals. Now, when your brother opens the city gate, His Western Wei army took advantage of the gap and stormed into Hongni Pass...Look, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty all over the city are in an orderly manner. Didn't they have been deployed long ago, or what? It's just tricking you!"

Xin Yue'e frowned and said, "If you really lied to me, then I should go down."

Dongfang was so anxious that he couldn't help it: "Why do you want to go down?"

Xinyue'e looked at Luo Cheng and her brother's direction and said: "If it's really a trap, I have to help my brother and get him back. Even if I die, I can't let my brother die for me. Also, I want to Ask Luo Cheng personally, does he know about this matter? Li Mi did it alone."

"Why are you so stupid? Luo Cheng knows what to do, so what if he doesn't know?"

Xinyue'e also looked like she was about to cry, she tried her best to break free from Dongfang's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, just let me understand, I have fallen in love with such a person all my life, and I have to pay the whole rainbow Niguan, the price of losing the lives of our two brothers and sisters is too high, even if it is death, at least let me die clearly and clearly, otherwise I am really not reconciled."

Dongfang is also a woman, how can she not understand a woman's mind.Now that the gate of the city is broken, and my family's life is at stake, if she doesn't let her ask clearly, she might die in peace, so she loosened her hand and let Xinyue'e break free and ran downstairs.

Xin Yue'e rode out alone, full of anger, and went straight to Luo Cheng and Xin Wenli.

Before he got close, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked in front of him in disbelief——

I saw that Xin Wenli was fighting with Luo Cheng, when he suddenly covered his left chest with one hand, he fell off the horse with a feather arrow stuck in his heart.

Luo Cheng was also stunned by the sudden scene in front of him. He turned his head to look at his own camp, and saw that Wang Bodang held hands and drew the bow. of his hand.

Luo Cheng reined in his horse, turned around and ran towards Uncle Wang. As soon as he got in front of him, without saying a word, he grabbed his collar and said, "Who told you to shoot arrows!"

Uncle Wang said calmly, "I'm here to help you. Xinyue'e is coming here, and you can't stop four hands with your fists."

Luo Cheng stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to help me, or to cover up for Li Mi? Who promised Xin Yue'e to use my marriage with her as a bait to let her let you go, and persuade her to let you go?" Her brother offered to surrender! At this time, something went wrong on the way, so I took advantage of it to attack the city! After you came back last night, you stayed in Li Mi's tent very late, are you discussing this matter? You Say it! Wang Bodang, you say—"

"Yes, your majesty has already ordered you to talk to Xin Wenli today. Once the matter is uncovered, our Western Wei army will take advantage of the city gate to be wide open, and the guards at Hongni will be unprepared and attack the city." Wang Bodang said calmly.

"Why do you do this? If you want Hong Ni to pass, I'll just beat it down. You have to use this sneaky method."

"Are you going to fight down? Doesn't it cost troops to forcefully attack the city? The emperor has far-sightedness, and this method will cause the least loss." Wang Bodang was annoyed by the questioning, and said loudly.

"You...you..." Luo Cheng could only feel the blood rushing in his heart, and he was almost out of breath.

On the other side, Xinyue'e almost rolled off her horse, crawled to Xin Wenli's side and cried bitterly: "Brother...brother, wake up...I hurt you, I didn't listen to you, acted on my own, believed Others, wake up, it's Yue'e who is wrong...Brother..."

Xin Wenli struggled to open his eyes, and said angrily, "Yue'e, do you think my brother doesn't know that the Sui Dynasty is about to end? I would rather die with the Sui Dynasty than surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty?"

Xin Wenli smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to surrender, but that I can't trust Li Mi! My father was an official in the same court as him, and I have heard a little about Li Mi's character. This man has a very small heart, he is really not a wise king... ..."

When Xin Wenli spoke again, he coughed up blood.Xin Yue'e was so frightened that she quickly covered it with her hands: "Brother, stop talking, stop talking..."

Xin Wenli coughed several times, and finally closed his eyes in nostalgia.

"Brother..." Xin Yue'e hugged Xin Wenli's upper body and cried bitterly.

Luo Cheng was startled, and turned his head to see that Xin Yue'e was holding Xin Wenli's body, sitting on the ground with a dull expression.The army of the Western Wei Dynasty had already surrounded the people. Perhaps because of Xinyue'e's strength and the past of capturing the eight generals, they did not dare to rush forward.

On the city wall, a loud shout was suddenly heard. Luo Cheng and the others turned their heads, and saw a figure jumping off the city wall, with its head on the ground, and the ground was in a mess.

"Sister-in-law—" Xinyue'e was so exhausted after losing her loved ones, she lost her fighting spirit, and murmured, "Yue'e was wrong... Yue'e was so wrong..."

Luo Cheng stretched out his hand and punched Wang Bodang back again and again: "Did you see that? Are you satisfied now?"

Wang Bodang covered his left cheek with one hand, and said angrily: "Luo Cheng, what kind of person are you pretending to be now? You are the one who caused the destruction of the Xin family. Things would not have come to this point in the first place. If you agreed to marry Xin Yue'e , is a good thing that everyone is happy with, but you refuse to do so, so the emperor can only come up with this method, make use of Xinyue'e a little, and then think of a plan to break the city."

"The plan to break the city... The plan to break the city... Your plan to break the city is to use women despicably, and then turn back and turn your face ruthlessly. If you do this, what will happen to my "benevolence and righteousness" that has been in Wagang for a long time?" Land? How do you let the people of the world treat my people in Wagang?"

Wang Bodang said indifferently: "What's wrong with using her? Soldiers are not tired of deceit. Besides, this woman is not a good person in the first place. She is shameless and uses hidden weapons to plot against others. She is not a hero."

"Wang Bodang, are you stupid in studying? Since you despise her, but you have done things a hundred times worse than her, what qualifications do you have to judge her?"

"Luo Cheng, have you gone crazy enough? You keep saying that you despise me and the emperor. If you are not the Wagang brothers, I should take you down now and hand it over to the emperor."

Luo Cheng nodded and said: "Okay, you can punish me however you want, wait until I save Xinyue'e."

When Uncle Wang heard this, he immediately stood in front of him and said, "Luo Cheng, only by cutting the weeds and roots can we avoid future troubles forever. I won't let you save Xinyue'e. This is an imperial decree. Could it be that you want to disobey the imperial decree?"

"Wang Bodang! Sixth brother!"

Hearing the forbearable roar in his ear, and hearing the familiar address, Uncle Wang really hesitated for a moment, so he asked Luo Cheng to take a detour, and when he wanted to catch up again, he saw Xin Yue'e had already stood up in the encirclement Turning around, facing his own direction, his eyes were dull and he said: "It's not important, nothing is important... Brother, sister-in-law, you wait for me, Yue'e is here, and I have arrived in the underworld, how do you want to scold me?" Yue'e, Yue'e recognized it."

I saw that Xin Yue'e had already placed the big knife in her hand across her neck.

"don't want--"

A smear of blood soaked Luo Cheng's eyes.
