then Li Sao

The city wants to be destroyed.

Zhou Tang led the forwards of the Dingbei Army to cut straight into the outskirts of Mocheng. General Zhenyuan Xu Rui seemed unable to react in time and was forced to retreat several miles. Just as the soldiers of the Dingbei Army were complacent, Zhou Tang suddenly said, "It's not good!" ".

"He wanted to lure us deep and then cut off our backup."

Xu Rui is worthy of being a general who was greatly appreciated by the late emperor. Even if the enemy troops approached the city, he still commanded himself.

The imperial city is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and he vowed to block the king of Yue from the outer city.

Looking at the figure of the young general on the city tower from a distance, Zhou Tang held up his long sword: "The way out is closed! Anyone who doesn't want to die, rush to me! If you take the outer city, you will have a way to survive! Kill!"

Zhou Tang didn't prepare backup for himself at all. He tore apart the soldiers in the outer city with a desperate offensive.

Both armies suffered casualties, but it was clear that the morale of the Dingbei Army was getting stronger and stronger-they wanted to enter the city!

They have no way out, but their relatives are all in the city!After more than three years of fighting in the desert, their longing for their family has accumulated day by day, and now it explodes in this siege battle, burning into a raging fighting spirit!

They are elite border guards who are red-eyed, and every battle they have experienced is a style of fighting with their lives, which is incomparable to those comfortable defenders.Therefore, they must win!

Until King Yue approached him, Xu Rui didn't take a single step back.

Zhou Tang waved back the soldiers who were about to kill the enemy general, and walked forward alone, saying: "General Xu is a hero, and this king admires it very much. But the general situation is set, and I ask General Xu not to be stubborn."

Xu Rui's face was scorched and bloody from the flames of war, but he still couldn't hide his heroism and arrogance: "This general will never surrender to the rebels! Kill him if you want!"

Zhou Tang wondered: "But someone wants me to spare your life."

"Who?"

Zhou Tang didn't answer, just shook his head and sighed: "Speaking of which, you are the imperial son-in-law and my brother-in-law. If I kill you, my sister-in-law will definitely blame me... It's okay for you to be a hero yourself, but my sister-in-law What should I do? Have you thought about her future life? Do you think she will be happy as the widow of a great hero?"

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, with sad eyes: "She...I'm sorry for her..."

"If you insist on not surrendering, I will not force you either. I promised that someone would not kill you, so I have to tie you up as a prisoner temporarily. At least I can meet with my imperial sister in the future. How about that?"

"..." Xu Rui thought for a long time, then bowed his head and said, "You can do whatever you want."

"Thank you brother-in-law."

Zhou Tang rejoiced, not letting others intervene, and went to detain him in person, and at the same time secretly laughed at himself, that he, the majestic king of Yue, the general who commanded all armies, actually listened to the words of the young master, and felt aggrieved just thinking about it...

Just as Xu Rui was about to bind his hands, unexpectedly he jumped up suddenly, pulled out a sharp blade from his boots, and stabbed it straight at Zhou Tang's throat!

Zhou Tang didn't expect such a change, so he couldn't avoid it for a while, so he could only raise his arms to block it.

But Xu Rui tried his best with this blow. If it landed on his body, he might be able to cut off this arm!

Zhou Tang's arm was between the two, but the expected sharp pain did not come.When he calmed down and looked, he saw a silver arrow penetrating Xu Rui's chest.

——The cold black iron arrow shot by the giant crossbow.

The stamina of the iron arrow brought Xu Rui's body flying a long distance, and fell from the tower.Zhou Tang reached out to pull, but it was too late.

"Xu Rui!!!"

A heart-piercing cry came from below the city.

Zhou Tang closed his eyes, stood up, stood on the high wall, and looked down at the crowd below.

Inside the wall are the crossbow team and cavalry led by Ting Ting.It seems that he has forced King Ning into the Inner Imperial City as planned, and is coming back to ask him for orders.As it happens, he saves him.

Outside the wall is King Lin'an's reinforcements.Thousands of soldiers watched helplessly as their general was crucified to the ground. On a white horse beside King Lin'an, a stunning woman was looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"Sister Huang..." Zhou Tang suddenly felt something choked in his heart.

Zhou Yan got off her horse and walked towards her husband's broken body in the loess.

She closed his open eyes and combed his blood-soaked long hair: "Husband, I'm late."

Zhou Tang looked directly into Zhou Yan's resentful eyes, without saying a word.

Zhou Yan asked: "Zhou Tang, are you really going to kill your own siblings?

"Second brother, sixth brother, Heng'er, I... didn't expect that your vicious mother's last wish would really come true.

"Father is right, you are the curse of the Zhou family, you should not stay in this world!

"Zhou Tang, stop!"

Zhou Tang turned around and went down the tower, facing his soldiers in the city with a stern expression.

Ting Ting didn't dare to make mistakes when he saw him, and reported truthfully: "My lord, King Ning has fled into the inner city, and he can be arrested immediately."

Zhou Tang waved his hand: "No hurry, wait until he enters the palace. We will capture and kill the little emperor when we force him into the palace. At that time, he will be charged with holding the emperor hostage. I will kill him justifiably. I can also kill Zhou Heng by the way." ..."

——Father is right, you are the curse of the Zhou family, you should not stay in this world!

Zhou Tang laughed suddenly: "...Killed."

King Lin'an came to attack the city again, but Musk fought for a day and a night but failed to capture it.Under the attack of the giant crossbow, they couldn't even get within a mile of the city gate.

As Zhou Tang said, the general trend is set.

It was night, there were sounds of fighting outside, Zhou Tang was deploying troops to attack the inner city, the door creaked open, he said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't this king say that no one should disturb you."

The visitor bowed to admit his mistake: "I don't know that the prince is busy, but I still hope to make amends."

Zhou Tang's writing stopped suddenly.

He suddenly raised his head, looked at the plain-clothed man in front of him, and said in disbelief, "Little Master!"

However, his surprise quickly disappeared in Luo Ping's attention.

Luo Ping's eyes were full of exhaustion: "My lord, Xu Rui can't kill, why didn't you listen..."

"I didn't kill him!" Zhou Tang finally broke out.

It's fine to be scolded by anyone, whether it's a curse or a bastard, he can ignore it, but the little master can't, he is the only one who can't misunderstand him!

Luo Ping was startled: "You didn't kill it?"

In his last life, he watched Xu Rui be beheaded by Zhou Tang in front of the city, didn't he?

"I didn't want to kill him! He wanted to kill me!" Zhou Tang smashed the inkstone on the table angrily.

The ink splashed onto Luo Ping's sleeves and forehead, Luo Ping instinctively closed his eyes, and at that moment, he felt a hug hugging him.

"Little master, I didn't kill him. He wanted to plot against me, so Tingting's crossbow team had no choice but to shoot him." Zhou Tang said sullenly, wiping the ink on his forehead.

"Is it Tingting..." What's the difference?

Zhou Tang saw that the ink could not be wiped off, so he wanted to lick it on a whim, Luo Ping quickly pushed him away: "No, I'll just wash it myself."

Zhou Tang was silent, and said for a while: "Little master, why do you want to prevent me from killing him? Are you protecting them? Do you know that they are all enemies who want to kill me?"

"No..." Luo Ping couldn't see the sorrow in his eyes, and couldn't help raising his hand to caress his face, but the ink on his sleeve was also stained on Zhou Tang's face, he couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to lead him to the well While washing your face.

"My lord, how can you leave ink dots on your clean face?" Luo Ping said, "The country you got shouldn't be stained with the blood of your loved ones and notorious through the ages, and I don't want you to become a cold-hearted The king of sex..."

"Little master, I never thought you would be so naive." Zhou Tang smiled bitterly, "Since ancient times, there has been no usurpation of the throne. If the ink is stained, just wipe it off."

"Yeah, maybe I was too naive."

"My lord! Princess Zhaorong wants to go up the castle tower! Do we...do we want to..."

Hurriedly looking for the prince to find the soldier guarding the well, seeing the prince and the person beside him rubbing each other's faces intimately, their tongues got stuck all of a sudden.

Zhou Tang frowned and said, "She is the king's imperial sister, so of course you are not allowed to touch her, but she is the only one who doesn't have to stop her, and anyone else who wants to approach the tower will be shot!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Tang felt Luo Ping's hands shaking, and asked in confusion, "Little master, what's wrong?"

Luo Ping raised his head, his eyes reflected the fire light in the distance: "Is it still... like this?"

"Master?"

"My lord, do you still remember the Luohuang I told you about?"

"I remember. You said it was the most beautiful woman in your heart, a dance that sacrificed her life."

"I thought I would never see it again in my life, I thought..."

This tragedy will never happen again.

Princess Zhaorong was dressed in neon clothes, just like when Luo Ping saw her for the first time.

When Zhou Tang arrived with Luo Ping, she had already climbed to the highest point of the city tower, dancing in a red moon.

She walked lightly, like a phoenix from the nine heavens, perched in a ruined wall.

Hongyue cast her shadow on the ground, step by step, as if stepping on the ground covered with blood.

The people who had fled to the suburbs because of the war also saw such a beautiful scene, and a child shouted: "Look, that sister is so beautiful, the dance you danced, little Sheng'er, is completely incomparable to others. "

"That's Sister Goddess, how can I compare with Sister Goddess?"

"Listen, sister Goddess is singing!"

Zhou Yan's singing also came from the night sky, descending into the sea of ​​flames and the crowd below.

……

Phoenix, Phoenix.

A dream of prosperity urges young feathers to contend.

Don't you see,

Back then Yan Yan was sunny and sunny,

Get to know each other over a glass of wine.

Don't you see,

Now the phoenix tree is burning old,

Luohuang came to live late.

……

She looked down at the two people below the city.

Luo Ping, how does my song Luohuang compare to that woman in your heart?

Not as good as her?At least I am beautiful in your eyes from the beginning to the end.

Zhou Tang, so what if you get the world?There will always be something you can't get.

Today, I danced and died for my husband and for the city, which is a debt you cannot wash off no matter what.

In the wind, her dancing sleeves spread like wings, flying down from the air.

Luo Ping's eyes were blurred.

Back then, Yan Yan was sunny and we knew each other over a glass of wine.

——Ah, yes, you are that pervert champion man!In the corridor, a girl in a light emerald dress smiled brightly.

Now the phoenix tree is old, and the phoenix is ​​late to live.

——Luoping, which side are you on?A dignified and solemn woman in the prison asked hesitantly.

All gone.

The lights and shadows of the two worlds overlap and lead to the same goal by different routes, but it is telling him:

No matter how hard he tried, there were things he couldn't change.

Luo Ping gently opened Zhou Tang's interlocking fingers.

Zhou Tang looked away from Zhou Yan's body: "Where are you going?"

Luo Ping looked at his face calmly: "Go and wipe off the ink stains for you."

Zhou Tang stared at him and confirmed, "Will you come back to me? You promised me."

"I will."

I promise until you don't need me anymore.
