love palace

Ke Weiqing felt a strong dizziness in the dark, like an overloaded boat, spinning and sinking!

He tried hard to wake up by himself, his fingertips twitched slightly, and then recovered his strength little by little. When he opened his heavy eyelids, there was a hazy gray in front of him. After a while, he realized that it was blue floor tiles. .

"Hmm..." Ke Weiqing held his still drowsy forehead, adjusted his breath, opened his eyes again, and looked at the fallen screen and the messy gauze curtain.

The severe abdominal pain had disappeared, and Ke Weiqing stretched out his hands to touch his abdomen nervously, holding his hands tightly, as if he wanted to feel something.It wasn't until the slight fetal movement existed that he was greatly relieved, and his frowning brows were also relaxed.

Hunger and exhaustion are like tides, and the obscene clothes on his body have long been wet with sweat, exuding an uncomfortable moisture. He stood up, put on the sheepskin robe, walked to the door, and opened the door with a creak.

"What time is it?" Ke Weiqing asked softly, his face still pale.

"It's time." The guard said, "General, have you finished your meditation?"

By meditating and adjusting breath to recover from the internal injuries, the most taboo is to be interrupted by others, so the guards stand here at every step. This is what Yonglin specially explained before he left.

"En." Ke Weiqing nodded.The sun was hanging high, and the cicadas were screaming non-stop. There was no shadow under the treetops, and it was the hottest time.

"General, you go back to the house first, I'll get you something to eat." The guard said courteously, "It's so hot."

"Well, but please hurry up." Ke Weiqing was hungry now, and it was difficult to chase Yonglin.But they arrived here at noon, that is to say, he was only unconscious for an hour?

Ke Weiqing was a little worried.Why do I feel like I've been in a coma for a long time?In any case, after riding the red shadow in a while, they will be able to catch up with the army. Thinking of this, Ke Weiqing turned and went back to the house.

The guard came back after a while, brought hot pasta, beef, and cool well water, and prepared a change of clothes for Ke Weiqing.

"Master Supervisor said, let me serve you well here." The guard said, putting the noodle bowl in front of Ke Weiqing.Put the chopsticks on again, and then go out.

Ke Weiqing was really hungry. He seemed to eat a few days ago. He quickly ate up the noodles and drank a large glass of water.

Then, he changed out of the wet underwear and long gown, put on dry clothes again, and put on the armor.While fastening the armor on his wrist, Ke Weiqing looked at the bowl of sauced beef on the table, woke up suddenly, and called the guards in.

"How long have I been meditating?" There is no such thing as beef stew for four or five hours, but it can't be stewed.

"This..." The guard thought for a while and replied, "It's been exactly three days now."

"What?!" Ke Weiqing turned pale with shock, "Three days?"

"Yes." The guard asked strangely, "Don't you know?"

"Then, what about the prince? Haven't come back yet?"

"No. My little one thinks there is a war ahead, so the prince won't come back so soon."

"Oops!" Ke Weiqing hurried to the outside of the temple and rode on the red shadow tied under the banyan tree.

Chi Ying was very happy to see her long-lost master, snorting happily.

"General, please wait a moment! His Excellency the Prince ordered you to stay here and rest!" The guards hurriedly chased them out and shouted.

"Pass my military order, everyone immediately breaks out of the camp and goes to Lihe to meet the prince's team." Ke Weiqing said solemnly, "No, they are following me and preparing to meet the enemy!"

"Ah? Yes!" When the guard heard this, his expression changed, and he hurried to inform the deputy leader.

"Drive!" Ke Weiqing clamped the horse's belly, and shot out like an arrow off the string!It's not that Yonglin didn't come back so soon, but it's impossible to withdraw!

Obviously, he was in a tough fight, and the situation was in jeopardy.Ke Weiqing was even more anxious, and galloped out in the billowing dust.

※※※

When Ke Weiqing rushed to Lihe for support, Yonglin was in a desperate battle with the Dayan Army!

They fought against each other just three days ago. All Dayan troops went into battle and launched a fierce attack from all sides at the same time. Huang Ye personally commanded and led the troops to attack the east gate.

The soldiers of the vanguard turned over the trench like a rainbow, and then swam across the moat.In the trap full of wooden thorns, the wooden planks were quickly laid, and the ladder was erected at the foot of the city wall where the flying stones rained.

The Wuque Army naturally returned the favor.Yonglin ordered all the army's artillery to fire, and the archers threw rockets, making the trenches like a purgatory, and the screams shook the sky!

The Dayan army suffered thousands of casualties, but the siege battle was so tragic.Although the vanguard soldiers appeared in the flames, Dayan's soldiers were still fighting bravely!

The fort of the Wuque army became extremely hot after continuous firing, and coupled with the scorching sun, it exploded just as soon as it was loaded with gunpowder, killing and injuring dozens of people!

The fort self-destructed, and the rockets could no longer withstand the raging Yan army.Seeing this, Yonglin calmly ordered [-] dead soldiers, and after lowering the suspension bridge, launched a counterattack against Wei Qing's army outside the city gate!

Huang Ye soon found out that many soldiers in the vanguard had died at Yong Lin's feet, so he held the Longming Sword and urged his horse to charge up amidst the hail of bullets, apparently to capture the thief first and the king first!

Four generals, including Fei Ying, approached Huang Ye one after another, and surrounded Yong Lin, gradually approaching.At this time, Yonglin was wearing a whistle, and a thousand soldiers and horses appeared from nowhere, and surrounded Huang Ye's soldiers and horses in the form of anti-outflanking, flanking Huang Ye from inside and outside, and fought against Huang Ye.

Yong Lin always wins with wisdom. He uses himself as a bait to lure Huang Ye to come forward to fight. As the saying goes, enemies are jealous when they meet each other. He believes that Huang Ye will not hold back. Come here and fall into the encirclement.

As a result, the battle above and below the city wall was even more intense!With one enemy against a hundred, Huang Ye insisted on cutting a gap in the enemy army defending him, but soon new soldiers filled it.Yong Lin knows who his enemy is, he will not let Huang Ye escape easily!

Hundreds of ladders were not overturned, and the soldiers fell down yelling, which was horrible.Even if some soldiers climbed up the city wall, they were quickly flanked by the Wuque army, and their blood splashed on the city wall!

Just as the city gate was heating up, Fei Yingchao shot two rockets into the sky, like a signal, and there was a sudden commotion on the city tower!

"We are not rebels!"

"Long live the emperor! Long live Dayan!"

In the melee, Qing Yun and Qing Fou suddenly dropped their weapons, waved the Dayan flag hidden in their sleeves, and raised their arms to shine!Those Dayan soldiers whom they had bought in advance also threw away their weapons and raised their hands and shouted to surrender.

Once the soldiers don't listen to the command of the soldier talisman, the soldier talisman will become useless. What's more, Emperor Dayan is in front of him. How can I put it this way? The crime of lingering death!

The Yan army took advantage of the chaos to climb the ladder and rushed into the tower.Immediately, the city tower was in chaos like a hornet's nest.Some people surrendered, some turned their backs, and cut and wounded the soldiers around them.

"——The East City Gate can't be kept!"

Wu Quejun was shouting, but Yong Lin was red-eyed.Huang Ye is close at hand, as long as he is killed, he can win the throne and have everything.

Huang Ye is also not afraid of being surrounded, getting closer and closer.The two brothers glared at each other through the human wall as if they had entangled in hatred in their previous life!However, Yonglin was pulled back into the city gate by the deputy general of the Wuque clan beside him.

"Song City can't be defended anymore, my lord! Please retreat quickly! We will protect you!" The passionate Wuqueren always believed that Yonglin killed his relatives righteously to help them avenge.

Dozens of feathered arrows struck, and the man immediately became like this, dripping with blood, but before he died, he swung his knife and cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge, and the Yan army fell into the ditch one after another.

Taking advantage of this moment, Yonglin and the others retreated into the city, killed all the rebel soldiers, and strictly guarded the city gate.But after a day and a night, the city was still breached.

The iron cavalry led by Huang Ye charged into the city with awe-inspiring and earth-shattering momentum!

But at this critical juncture, soldiers like Dayan's army continued to turn against each other, and the southern city gate fell, most of Song City was lost, and [-] soldiers and horses were captured.

Yong Lin retreated from Song City with only [-] remnants of soldiers, but he didn't want to lead Dayan soldiers to Dazhou Village, so he turned to another mountain road and came to the foot of a barren mountain with barren land.

Several abandoned huts and thatched huts became their last cover, and they fought fiercely with the chasing Dayan army!

When Ke Weiqing arrived, the Wu Que army was almost dead.He broke through the siege desperately, broke in, rescued Yonglin and the few remaining soldiers, and quickly integrated the army, so that the army of more than 6000 people could regroup and take a breath.

The Yan army has been chasing after him, but Ke Weiqing jumped on the horse's head and led the army to a place where there is no way out - the cliff of separation and reunion.

Fei Ying, who wanted to get the first prize and was chasing at the forefront, couldn't help thinking that this Ke Weiqing was nothing more than that, it seemed that he was in a panic!Then he cheered up and swung his whip to catch up with the cliff!

However, the terrain there is extremely steep, coupled with days of drought and no rain, the loose sand and rocks put Dayan's army in a difficult situation, and they could only drive forward cautiously until Wuque's army was forced into the "dead ground" of the cliff.

There is no way out, and the soldiers are chasing after them. This Wuque clan is doomed!

However, the Wu Que army, who knew they had no choice but to fight with their backs, resisted desperately, and their tenacity far exceeded Fei Ying's expectations.I wish they all turned into heroic soldiers, but the Dayan army was hit instead, retreating step by step, losing their advantage, and even felt like they had missed.

When Huang Ye arrived, Fei Ying was retreating unsightly and descending the mountain. When he saw the emperor, he knelt down to plead guilty, saying that the commander of the Wuque army had finally appeared to lead the army. Together.

"Put it to death and then live...Wei Qing, you really deserve to be taught by me."

Huang Ye knew what Ke Weiqing was thinking, and if he fought his way out, he would win.

Huang Ye smiled coldly, his eyes were extremely cold, then he raised his whip, and the chariots and horses galloped up the steep mountain wall.The speed was so fast that none of the generals beside him could keep up.

When Huang Ye climbed to the top of the cliff, he saw Yong Lin fighting with several soldiers, his eyes froze, he jumped up from the horse, flew over, and made a bang!The spear in Yonglin's hand was split in two!

"Brother Huang!" Yong Lin glared at him, the Longming Sword cut the iron like mud, here, there is no other weapon blocking it.

"Who is your imperial brother?" Huang Ye sneered coldly, "I'm here to take the head of your rebel!"

Impressively waving the Longming Sword, it found Husser's trembling sound, just like the dragon neighing to death, which made all the soldiers present terrified.There was a flash of icy white light, and the tip of the sword pierced Yong Lin's left chest!

This sword was so powerful that when Ke Weiqing flew over and blocked it with the Tiger Roaring Sword, half of his body was numb from the shock. If the two swords were not made by the same craftsman, they must have been cut off long ago !

"You!" Huang Ye's sharp black eyes, after seeing the person blocking the sword, immediately released more intense sparks, as if to tear Ke Weiqing's body to pieces!

"Let's go!" Ke Weiqing couldn't care less, Hengjian blocked Huang Ye's attack, and covered Yong Lin to retreat.

"Let's go together!" Yong Lin held up the broken gun and swept in, planning the fight between Huang Ye and Ke Weiqing.

Chi Ying came galloping to help his master and joined the battlefield.However, he was at a loss. In the past, it would kick the enemy hard with its iron hoof, but it was at a loss for Huang Ye.

"Get on the horse!" Ke Weiqing jumped on the horseback, trying to drag Yong Lin who was fighting with Huang Ye up!

"Don't even think about it!" However, Huang Ye's Longming Sword slashed into the air, stabbing Yong Lin's left shoulder, and blood spurted out!It splashed on Ke Weiqing's body.

"You go!" Yong Lin gritted his teeth, turned back and slammed the horse's buttocks with his right hand, Chi Ying raised his head and neighed, galloping towards the cliff, and was about to fall, but the horse stretched its iron hoof extremely nimbly, leaped forward, and stood in front of everyone In the sight of extreme astonishment, he disappeared on the other side of the cliff.

Seeing the commander retreating, the rest of the Wuque army also retreated hastily, but they were captured by Huang Ye who was catching up with them, and only a hundred or so remained, and escaped by chance.

※※※

Chi Ying didn't stop, turned around, stepped on the cliff path like a goat, ran back to the mainland, and finally returned to the secret camp of the Wuque Clan.

"My God! It's the patriarch!"

"Quick! The patriarch is back!"

The general manager saw Ke Weiqing lying on the saddle covered in blood.Everyone was stunned, and quickly grabbed the rein and helped him down.

"Quick, bring a stretcher!" Ke Weiqing's left arm was also injured by Huang Ye's sword energy, bleeding profusely.

"No, I can walk by myself..." Ke Weiqing said, but was still supported by the villagers and returned to the wooden house.Going into the wooden house, someone immediately brought bandages and water to heal his wounds.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here...it will attract pursuers." Ke Weiqing gasped.Sitting on the horse's back, he was dizzy and heartbroken, and didn't notice that Chi Ying had brought him here.

Huang Ye's eyes were full of hatred and disgust. He never thought that one day, he would see such a look in those eyes that he loved deeply, and Ke Weiqing's heart was also broken.

However, isn't this sentence exactly what he expected?The more Huang Ye hated him, the more she would pour all her hatred on him alone.

"Son, even if you don't come, we plan to move." An old woman frowned and said, "In the past few days, Dayan has been searching the mountains, and there are notices posted in the city, saying that we are looking for Wu Que. Army camp, it is no longer safe here.”

"Really?" Ke Weiqing frowned deeply, only then did he realize that there were already several cloth bundles in the wooden house.Is Huang Ye going to kill the weeds?

"Patriarch, you came back just in time, you can take us away." A boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old said excitedly, "Take us to fight. We are not afraid of death."

"I won't let you die." Ke Weiqing looked at the old people and children in the room, and said softly, "It's not safe outside, so don't go anywhere, stay here first."

"But..." The young man wanted to say something, but there was another commotion outside, and Chi Ying neighed.

Ke Weiqing went out and saw dozens of Wuque soldiers standing at the entrance of the village, but they were not Wuque people, but Dayan people. Although most of them turned to Huang Ye, there were still some people who loved Ke Weiqing. loyal.

"General!" The leading man was covered in blood. He took out a pure gold soldier tiger amulet from under his armor, knelt down, raised it above his head, and handed it to Ke Weiqing.

"My lord, please tell me in advance that if Song City is captured, help us bring our soldier amulets and avoid Dayan's army. Come here to find you."

"Really..." Ke Weiqing took the soldier talisman with both hands, and wiped off the blood on it with his fingers.With the soldier talisman, even if Li He is defeated, he can still make a comeback and gather troops elsewhere...

After all, the number of troops that the Golden Tiger Talisman can mobilize is in the millions!

That's why Yonglin sent him away at a critical moment!It turns out that Yonglin has already prepared and still has a way, but...!

Ke Weiqing looked at the pair of eyes that were still in shock but still filled with anticipation, couldn't help but clenched the soldier talisman tightly, and said, "You all have worked hard, let me do the next thing."

Ke Weiqing asked the soldiers to stay in the village to take care of the elderly and children. After taking a rest, he packed his bags and left the village.

When he led Chiying out of the village, a six-year-old boy kept seeing him and refused to leave.

"Go back quickly, your grandpa should be worried." Ke Weiqing said softly, reaching out to stroke the child's soft hair.

"Patriarch, you haven't told me yet. Is this the younger brother or the younger sister?" It turned out that when Ke Weiqing was changing his armor, the boy came in to deliver food and bumped into him.

As a secret, Ke Weiqing gave him a small knife, which can be used to carve puppets and protect his family.

"Maybe...it's nothing." Ke Weiqing said softly, he had no chance to give birth to him.

"Why are you crying? Does the wound still hurt?" The boy was worried about the patriarch who suddenly burst into tears.

"No, I'm fine, good boy, go back quickly." Ke Weiqing stopped tears and promised, "I won't let you have trouble."

"Yeah!" The boy smiled, waved his hand, and ran back to the village.

Ke Weiqing took a deep breath, got on his horse, and went to Song City alone.

After the war, Songcheng was full of gunpowder smoke and dead bodies.Huang Ye ordered that the corpses be buried outside the city, craftsmen repair the city walls, and the captured soldiers, all Wuque people, were imprisoned in special underground prisons.

Yong Lin, Hong Liu, Qian Long, and dozens of other generals of the Wuque Army were all tied up with hemp rope and hung above the city wall.

Those ordinary people who heard that the war was over and returned to the city one after another gathered under the city wall, watching and talking.But most people dare not look up to see the big living man hanging above.Those people were bloody and covered in wounds, and their demonstrations were terrifying.

The news that the general of the rebel army was hanging on the city tower spread widely, attracting many people to wait and see.

Although according to the usual practice, the King of Dayan would hang the defeated enemy generals on the city wall to demonstrate, but at that time the corpses were not living people, and the Holy Majesty would do this today, probably out of anger!

After all, he was bitten back by his own brother and his favorite minister!

However, Ke Weiqing knew exactly what Huang Ye was thinking.He was not demonstrating, but threatening. He was using the lives of Yong Lin, Hong Liu and others to force him to hand over the military talisman and throw himself into the trap.

If he doesn't appear, Yonglin and the others will be starved to death and sunburned to death; if he appears, Yonglin can live.But at the same time, he also lost his escape route, and there was no possibility of surviving.

Ke Weiqing sighed lightly.Yonglin let him go because he hoped that he could raise troops against Huang Ye.However, this is not Ke Weiqing's wish, people have already sacrificed enough, it is time to end all this.

In fact, this was originally Ke Weiqing's plan to replace the lives of others with his own life.

When Ke Weiqing was wearing a gray cloak, he stepped onto the suspension bridge leading to the east gate of the city alone, just as the dawn was breaking through.

Chi Ying was left in the inn outside the city, there was no need for him to die together.

Ke Weiqing walked slowly on the desolate suspension bridge, recalling all the first acquaintance with Huang Ye, and his heart was ups and downs.

He never thought that he would end up being executed by Huang Ye, but...it doesn't matter, he can't let his people be wiped out by Huang Ye, and he can't watch the two brothers kill each other.If, with his death, all these hatreds can dissipate, his death is worth it...

It's just... pity on this unborn child.Ke Weiqing stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his abdomen, but held back, and said hoarsely, "My child, if there is an afterlife, we will be father and son again."
