Yuan Mutian arrived at the other courtyard temporarily prepared for him, and sent away all the servants, leaving only Ling Qing alone.

"Mingfang is getting bolder and bolder." Yuan Mutian picked up the paperweight on the table, touched it, and snorted coldly, "He really thought I didn't know about his little tricks, and the years were clearly let go by his acquiescence. , and that Chen Zheng."

"Your Majesty, Mingfang is sincere to the Emperor, and will not do anything that would be detrimental to the Emperor." Ling Qing knelt on the ground anxiously when she heard Yuan Mutian's bad tone.

"Get up, what are you doing, and I didn't say that he would be punished." Yuan Mutian threw the paperweight down, "Ming Fang may not want to help Jicheng, after all, Jicheng is also part of his plan. It's just that the encirclement now At this time, the army must not be allowed to move first. It will drain the morale that has been accumulated for a long time, and it will also scare the rebels who were lured into the siege. He had the intention to let him go, so Chen Zheng was able to confuse so easily. Go out of the city, and take Nianhua out by the way, and it will be settled once and for all."

"Your Majesty really knows everything." Ling Qing bowed his head and said.

"Okay, you don't need to compliment me anymore. You two have learned one by one. One thing in front of me, another thing behind my back, and you'll have to spend your time in my life again and again. It's only Nianhua who has a single-minded mind and thinks you and Mingfang are good people." Yuan Mutian sat on the grand teacher's chair, touched the armrest and sighed.

He doesn't know how to punish the crimes of these two confidants, but he can't control the quickness of his tongue, scolding them once for the idiot Nian Hua.

Ling Qing pursed her lips, feeling wronged and wronged in her heart, but she couldn't argue for herself.He used to target Nianhua, but that was all in the past.This time it was Mingfang, and it had nothing to do with him at all. In fact, now...it is impossible for him to frame Nianhua again...

Yuan Mutian raised his head and looked at the bright moon outside the window, and the bright light scattered into the world.That unreserved, pure and clean feeling is just like the impression that the years have inadvertently carved on his heart, and it has been deeply rooted in his heart before he knows it, and cannot be removed.Such transparency and purity made the emperor's possessiveness unprecedentedly inflated, and he could no longer bear to let him slip through his fingers.

-

Under the moonlight, Jicheng is desolate and dilapidated everywhere.

"What? Chen Zheng is here too? Do you have a way to bring food and grass into the city?!" Cheng Zihan cried out all of a sudden, and some excited blush appeared on his pale and thin face.

Looking at him like this, Nianhua knew that the crisis of food shortage in Jicheng was already very serious.Looking at Cheng Zihan's body again, his slender body was wrapped in a cold helmet, and the clothes inside were already torn and dirty in several places, so he didn't look like a nobleman at all.When I was feeling distressed, the doctor had already come forward with medicine and knives to treat Nian Hua's injury.

Cheng Zihan backed away from Nianhua, went to the door and called a general to give a few words, then walked back and accompanied Nianhua to treat the wound.

After Nianhua's wound was bandaged and all outsiders left, Cheng Zihan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and handed Nianhua a glass of water.

"The food in the city has long been exhausted, and I dare not even drink the water from the river outside. There are only a few old wells in the city to feed the whole city." Cheng Zihan said with a tired face, sitting beside Nianhua, straight Finally, he dared to relax a little, "The voles are almost caught. If this continues, the city residents will really change their sons and eat them. I don't have any of the country and people my father asked me to protect." I can keep it. If you don't come today, I'm afraid I... really can't hold on anymore, Nianhua..."

Nianhua held his arm firmly with his uninjured hand and said, "Zihan, you've done well enough, and it's impossible for someone else to do better than you."

Cheng Zihan shook his head, sighed and laughed at himself, and said, "Nianhua, you can't even comfort others. Look at how desperate I am now, is that okay? I'm just taking Jicheng with me now." Thousands of people are just dying."

"It's not your fault." Nianhua pursed her lips and said angrily.After thinking for a while, he let go of Cheng Zihan, and continued with some hesitation: "The army of Xiao Guo is clearly behind Jicheng, but they just don't come to rescue you. Zihan, do you hate them?"

Cheng Zihan glanced at Nian Hua, but unexpectedly, he shook his head.

A stone fell from Nianhua's heart, but fortunately there was no more grievances.He thought about it but felt curious. According to Cheng Zihan's temper, he didn't complain at this point. It really couldn't be justified.

"What kind of look is that in your eyes? Am I such an imposing person in your eyes?" Cheng Zihan snorted twice, but still limp and clung to Nianhua's side and couldn't get up.

"I didn't say that..." Nianhua replied embarrassingly.

Cheng Zihan stretched out his hand to untie the belt of his armor and said, "I know Jun Mingfang's idea, he has already told me. Jikang City is the last link to encircle the rebels. After the encirclement he deployed Before the momentum is fully completed, Jicheng must stand firm and block one of the main forces for him."

"What?" Nianhua was suddenly surprised, "You mean, Mr. Jun told you everything, and you are helping him now?!"

"I'm not that kind." Cheng Zihan rolled his eyes and said, "I just don't want to hide behind and let the people of Jiguo be trampled by iron hooves. I just want to advance and retreat with them. This is my fate. Jun Mingfang sent Some people came to defend Jicheng. But you also know that the people of our country hate Xiao Jun very much. Will you cooperate with them and say that Jicheng will definitely not be able to defend it when the time comes due to internal turmoil and foreign aggression. So Jun Mingfang also needs I, lead Xiao Jun to guard Jicheng."

"Seeing that all of you are so confident, how did you end up in this state? You're starving to death before the battle is fought." Nian Hua said angrily.As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Zihan sang the empty city strategy in his stomach at the right time, which made Cheng Zihan flush with anger.

"What do you know? The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and even the best plan can't change." Cheng Zihan said angrily, "There are many Japanese pirates in the rebel army. In the past, they always acted like robbers. They only knew how to attack blindly. Coveting to rob property and beauties, he abandoned the empty city after plundering it all. Who knew that this time he changed his temper and cut off the supply of food and grass in Jicheng, and then surrounded him on all sides. It didn't seem like he came here for robbery, but he wanted to seize the city .”

"Okay, okay, don't get excited. You're hungry, I'll eat." Nianhua took out another cloth bag from her bosom, opened it and placed it in front of Cheng Zihan.

"Although the hard and cold ones are not very tasty, at least they can keep you full..." Nianhua hadn't finished speaking yet, but Cheng Zihan was holding a few cornbreads that were so rough that the raw materials could not be seen, and he was gorging. Nianhua felt sad for a while.

With such an appearance and such a temper, he should be born as a noble son, ignorant of the worldly world, or simply be a small subject, loved and held in the palm of his hand.But since he got to know Zihan, he hasn't lived a few days of freedom at all, he's always wandering and suffering.

Cheng Zihan ate the contents of the cloth bag in threes and fives, and when he raised his face to meet Shang Nianhua's distressed gaze, he felt embarrassed, and wanted to eat the remaining scum, Now I am too embarrassed, I can only swallow hard, snort twice, and take off the armor that has been untied on my body.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Nian Hua suddenly sat up and shouted.

"sleep."

"Sleep your big head, Chen Zheng is still waiting on the mountain outside the city with food and grass, we have to come in quickly."

Cheng Zihan stopped and continued to undress and said, "I know. When you were being treated just now, I had already signaled to Chen Zheng, and he knew that you were safe and sound. The rebels outside the city were so disturbed by you, and the security was much tighter. There is no loophole to take advantage of. I am afraid that the supply of food and grass will not work tonight, and Chen Zheng should have found a safe place to hide for the time being."

Nianhua nodded, oh.Fortunately, there was a way to get in touch with Chen Zheng, otherwise he was really afraid that he would wait there foolishly, and it would be terrible if the enemy found out.

During this moment of Nianhua's contemplation, Cheng Zihan had already taken off only a thin layer of underwear, and got into Nianhua's quilt.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Nianhua yelled.

"go to bed!"

"Why are you sleeping here with me! Besides, you can sleep as long as you want. What are you doing so clean? What if there is a war in the middle of the night? Do you want to fight the enemy half naked?!"

"Whispering, shut up." Cheng Zihan continued to crawl into the bed.

"And you haven't brushed your teeth yet!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
