The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

Since the two sides can't reach an agreement, it is natural to continue fighting.

As soon as Xiao Jiu and Qin Fu returned to the city, Wei Chengdan was waiting for him on the city wall.

"Second Highness." Xiao Jiuqin cupped his fists.

"Mr. Pingjin is free, I just want to ask if Mr. Bai is missing." Although Wei Chengdan was in the palace, his face was pale, and he looked like he was overworked.

Xiao Jiuqin could understand his thoughts, "There is no news yet, but what is certain is that the two of them are not in Wei Chengfeng's hands."

"That's good." Wei Chengdan breathed a sigh of relief visibly. Since he returned to Yingdu, he has not had a few days of peace and quiet. The successive incidents have made him powerless, and... he is actually also more or less are forced to do these things.

But Huai Chun couldn't let go.

"I don't know how your Majesty is in the palace?" Xiao Jiu and Qin Ming made a tentative test. Wei Chengtan was slightly startled, and then he said bluntly without any hesitation:

"The imperial doctor only said that the father is in short supply, and he was angry with Wu...Wei Cheng a few days ago, and now he is getting thinner and thinner. The medicine can't be used. As long as the mood is calmer, he can relax."

"Bo Yan announced the decree that day, and I heard that His Royal Highness has also brought Song..." Xiao Jiuqin quickly changed his words: "He also brought His Sixth Highness back, but His Majesty..."

"Since Mr. Bai wants to keep him alive, I will not deliberately make it difficult for him. On the other hand, the royal father is too angry and confines Cheng Que in the palace. I can only try my best to protect him and hope that he will be safe. Some."

Wei Chengdan had already mentioned this point, Xiao Jiuqin thanked him for Bai Yan, in fact, even he felt that a prince like Wei Chengdan could do this, he would not intentionally harm a certain person, nor would he think about how to gain greater benefits for himself ... It is already a huge difficulty.

"The palace still depends on His Highness," Xiao Jiuqin clasped his fists again: "Wei Chengju is already at the end of his strength, and I can only try to suppress it...but it only takes two days. After two days, when the army returns to help, everything should be settled."

"Has the dust settled?" Wei Chengdan shook his head: "I'm afraid there will be another wave..."

When Wei Chengtan said this, he had no scruples at all, Xiao Jiuqin glanced at him, and said something extra for some reason: "If that time comes, will Your Highness be the crown prince?"

No one knows how much Wei Chengdan resents the throne. Xiao Jiuqin and Bai Yan have also said it before, but now the situation in Yingdu is almost clear.

Wei Chengju was forced into the palace, and there was a dead end; Wei Chengfeng was immoral and incompetent, unworthy of his position; Wei Chengque was unable to protect himself, and it was not easy to save his life.

So in the end there seems to be no choice.

The corners of Wei Chengdan's mouth turned up: "Master Hou also wants to test me?"

He glanced at the soldiers fighting under the city, and finally resigned to his fate: "Even if it shouldn't be mine, I still have to hold it in the end... Huaichun has been working hard for five years, and he can't ask for more. I have been protected by him for many years." , I can’t repay him with anything else, I can only listen to his wish and go on.”

"Return?" Xiao Jiuqin frowned: "Isn't it willing?"

These words were actually a little offensive, but Xiao Jiuqin suddenly saw some shadow of Bai Yan from Wei Chengtan, and his voice was low: "Your Highness, why should you wrong yourself..."

"It's not a grievance."

Wei Chengdan looked at him: "Master Hou, Mr. Bo shouldn't have felt wronged five years ago..."

Xiao Jiuqin was startled.

"It's not a grievance to do something you don't like for the person you like."

"Since he wants it, I will try my best to give it to him."

For three days in a row, most of the imperial army in Yingdu lost more than half, and the Yulin army suffered heavy losses. The people who followed Huaichun before were all brave, but this time they rushed to the forefront.

Half of Xiao Jiuqin's face was stained with blood, and He Zhaoyuan replaced him with a long knife: "Master Hou, the situation is not good, and a group of people rushed out from nowhere, and directly broke through the Dinghuai Gate."

"Where's Xie Ping?" Xiao Jiuqin chopped off the enemy's head with a single knife, and the blood splashed on the back of He Zhaoyuan's neck, but the expressions of the two of them didn't even change.

"Xie Ping hasn't come back yet, and the mines in Suiyang Mansion have only opened for a little bit. He sent a letter saying that it will take at least three days...It seems that Ying can't last until then."

It wasn't that He Zhaoyuan was speaking in frustration, it was because they were powerless. If there was no enemy from Dinghuai Gate, they would barely be able to survive for another two days, but the soldiers and horses that appeared out of nowhere made them unsustainable, and they almost lost their lives. They are cornered.

"Take half of your people to stop them." Xiao Jiuqin immediately decided, "Dinghuai Gate is too close to the palace city, if they even break down the Yaofang Gate, the people along the road may not have time to escape."

"Master Hou, in this way, I'm afraid your side will be stretched and hard to resist!"

He Zhaoyuan's eyes were full of worry, if he took away half of the people, how could Xiao Jiuqin be able to defend here, even if Xiao Jiuqin has three heads and six arms, it would be useless.

"I'm sure." Xiao Jiuqin's face was stern, "Dinghuai Gate, if you can defend it, you must guard it, and if you can't, you must guard it... If you let an enemy in, you will come and see him!"

After Xiao Jiuqin finished speaking, He Zhaoyuan took one last look at him and led them away resolutely.

Wei Chengju under the city soon got the news, and his face was ferocious: "Xiao Jiuqin is really daring!"

But since you are self-righteous, then this hall will teach you a lesson, the invincible Marquis of Pingjin is actually nothing but an idiot.

"Pass down the order, all the soldiers march forward together, the forwards use their shields to open a path, the central army uses bows and arrows...the rear army rushes to kill with swords, and capture Yingdu today!"

"All the soldiers who break through the city will be enshrined as marquises!"

His voice was harsh, and his eyes seemed to be poisoned, "Also... Huang Yan sent a message that things in the city can be moved."

He watched the people and soldiers below rush forward like waves, Xiao Jiuqin on the city wall had a difficult look on his face, Wei Chengzhe stared at him, his lips moved slightly.

"Xiao Jiuqin, you have lost..."

The two looked at each other from a distance, Xiao Jiuqin frowned, he thought for a while, and called someone over.

"Master Hou?"

"Send two people to the city to check the situation, and then find the Second Highness...tell him that there may be a problem in the city."

"Yes!"

From seeing Wei Chengju's rebellious face to being confident, Xiao Jiuqin always felt that he had overlooked something.

Yun Zhong and Wei Chengju have been planning for so many years, it is impossible to just garrison troops in private, they withdrew from Yingdu after the incident, the army arrived late, no matter how I think about it, I feel strange everywhere.

And even if they attacked the city, they were determined to attack it, but they had no intention of entering the city.

Here Xiao Jiuqin had just sent people out when he suddenly heard a loud bang.

He froze, turned his head and followed the sound.

A puff of black smoke winds up, in that direction...

Wei Chengju also heard this loud noise in the city. Unlike Xiao Jiuqin's astonishment, he smiled: "Very good."

But the next moment his smile froze.

It was originally planned that all parts of the city would explode at the same time, but after the loud noise just now, there was no follow-up.

As if suddenly dumbfounded, Wei Cheng scolded: "What's going on!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness... lost contact with the people inside." One person looked panicked, this gunpowder is a killer move, if something goes wrong, it will completely turn the tide of the battle, he trembled, "And the direction of the explosion just now... should be It's the Grand Master's Mansion."

"Wei Chengju!"

As soon as Yun Zhongfu came out, he heard this sentence, his beard and hair were all white, and he couldn't stand steadily: "Why can't my Yun family stop treating you and make you so jealous?!"

From the moment he gave up on Wei Chengdan and decided to assist Wei Chengju to the present, he finally felt a surge of regret.

"The Yun Mansion is also your relative, no matter what, this old man is also your real uncle...why do you want to use the Yun Mansion for surgery?!"

"And where did you get the gunpowder... It's a taboo thing to keep this stuff private!"

"Even forcing the palace, and setting up troops privately... what else can I not do?"

Wei Chengju walked up to Yun Zhong and leaned slightly: "Uncle? You blamed me every now and then, and abused you every time you made a mistake... Why didn't you say it was my uncle then?"

"And, relatives?" Wei Cheng sneered coldly: "There is no father and son in the Tian family, let alone an uncle... If you were not of some use to me, how could you treat me like this?"

"If you are not angry, you can come to me to collect debts, but what did the other people in the Yun family do wrong? The ancestors of my Yun family are enshrined in the ancestral hall, you have never thought about..."

"Thinking about what?" Wei Chengju glared angrily: "Don't forget, your surname is Yun, and my surname is Wei."

One sentence completely froze Yun Zhong.

Yes, how could he have forgotten that the so-called nephew in front of him was only the Fifth Highness of Daliang from the beginning to the end.

What Wei Chengli kept was the blood of the royal family. No matter how ruthless the Holy Majesty was in those days, as his son, Wei Chengli would only become more ruthless.

Yun Mansion was destroyed.

This side is in dire straits, but the other side is not much better.

Bai Yan and the others only had time to deal with the other places. As for the Yun Mansion, they tacitly stayed until the end, but they never expected that the other party would suddenly attack.

When the blast ended, Bai Yan and the others, who had almost avoided it, were so ashamed that they could hardly see their original appearance.

Fortunately, King Yu gave him a hand, and Bai Yan bowed to salute: "Thanks to the lord, the subject was not seriously injured, I am very grateful."

"Master Bai, you are being polite. You and I are going out of the same school. Even for the sake of the teacher, this king will not let you get hurt." King Yu's forearm was injured, and his men simply bandaged it.

Huai Chun got the news from the outside: "Dinghuai Gate is in danger, and Marquis of Pingjin can't hold on for long. The noise here will soon attract Wei Chengfeng and other forces to visit. The gunpowder must be dealt with as soon as possible."

"We can take as much as we can, and pour water on the rest. If we can't take it away, we can't leave it to Wei Chengfeng."

Yu Wang nodded: "That's right," they discussed briefly, and let Huai Chun and Bai Yan leave first.Wei Chengfeng is now a maggot with bones attached to his bones, and he wholeheartedly wants to make a deal with the two of them, but Bai Yan and Huai Chun cannot give them this opportunity.

Under Yu Wang's cover, they left quickly.

Wei Chengfeng, who came belatedly, bumped into King Yu, Wei Chengfeng narrowed his eyes: "Why is the emperor here?"

"Of course it's because of the loud noise." King Yu was not pretentious on weekdays, and he always looked down on Wei Chengfeng, so he became aggressive and Wei Chengfeng didn't even have any dignity, so he lowered his head subconsciously.

After Wei Chengfeng reacted, his cheeks burned red: "Has the emperor met Huai Chun and Bai Yan?"

"Never." King Yu didn't bother to talk to Wei Chengfeng: "Nowadays the internal and external difficulties, the Fourth Highness doesn't help Pingjin Hou to meet the enemy, why is he running around in the city, if the emperor finds out..."

"Uncle!" Wei Chengfeng slightly raised his voice.
