"Elder-in-law" migraine

Arrows filled the sky, and Ren Zhi only felt blood red in front of his eyes. He watched Fu Sheng rush into the city gate, raised his sword and chopped down the archer in front of him, and saw more arrows flying towards him from all directions. The sword was swung in front of his chest as a barrier, blocking the sharp arrows flying towards his chest, but he had no energy to avoid the arrows flying from behind.

A sharp arrow shot into Fu Sheng's body from behind, the pain made him stop his movements, at that moment, several arrows hit his chest one after another.

Ren Zhi exclaimed at that moment, he shook his head in disbelief, the long sword in his hand pierced into the body of the Turkic soldier blocking in front of him, desperately clamping the horse's belly and trying to run towards Fusheng.

Another group of people poured out from the city gate, let them look up, only to find that the leader was Ashina Aji who had not seen anything for a long time.The scene of Fu Sheng just falling to the ground made Ren Zhi's eyes bloodshot, the long sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, and the blood stains covered his fair face, like a blood-bathed evil god.

Ashina Aji rode on the horse and looked at Ren Zhi quietly, "Look at your soldiers, your soldiers, you have been abandoned by reinforcements, why are you still struggling? Do you want to see each of them with your own eyes? Did they all die in front of you?"

Ren Zhi looked back and found that before he knew it, more than half of the Zheng'an army had been killed or injured, and the number of Turkic soldiers was by no means just the 3 they estimated before, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived. What went wrong?

The only remaining soldiers surrounded Ren Zhi, and a group of people was surrounded by Turkic regiments. No matter in terms of numbers or physical strength, it was impossible for them to break out of the encirclement.Ren Zhi lifted the long sword, wiped off the blood on it with the hem of his clothes, turned his head and smiled at the soldiers behind him, "Are you afraid of death?"

Feng Yan who was not far away was the first to answer loudly, "I am willing to fight with the Marshal to the last breath!"

Behind him, the soldiers shouted in unison, "I am willing to fight with the Marshal to the last breath!"

Ren Zhi raised his lips, held the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, and pointed directly at Ashina Aji's chest, "Then I will live and die together with you!"

Ashina Aji seemed to shake his head helplessly, raised the scimitar in his hand, and pointed at Ren Zhi, "I will let you know today who is the real overlord! This great river and mountain in the Central Plains will one day , will fall into my hands."

Ren Zhi's lips pursed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "As long as I'm here, I won't let you get what you want." After speaking, he drove Wuzhi and ran towards Ashina Aji.

The Turkic soldiers voluntarily separated a path for Ren Zhi to run towards Ashina Aji, but blocked his back road, completely isolated him from the Zheng'an army, and surrounded Ren Zhi and Ashina Aji. in.

Ashina and Aji looked at Ren Zhi, and the smile on his lips did not hide at all, "Finally, I have the opportunity to see you up close. You are still the same as when we first met. Just one glance makes people's heart flutter. Even now You are covered in blood, I still think that you are the most beautiful man I have ever seen."

Ren Zhi couldn't help chuckling, "I thought I made it clear to you five years ago in the mountains and forests that you can't judge people by their appearance. I hope that when you die under my sword, you will still feel that way."

Ashina Aji shook his head regretfully, "If it were me, I would never give up on you fighting so dangerously on the battlefield. I will build you the most magnificent palace and search for all the treasures in this world for you. Glad. However, if this is not the case, I have no chance to bring you back to Turkic."

"I'm afraid you are too confident. Five years ago, you couldn't pass ten moves in front of me, how dare you boast so much now?" Ren Zhi stopped talking nonsense, raised his sword and attacked Ashina Aji go.Ashina and Aji sighed softly, and wrestled with Ren Zhi.

However, in five years, Ashina and Aji seemed to have changed. He was no longer as relaxed as he was five years ago. In addition to the long fight just now, Ren Zhi felt tired and gradually began to feel powerless.As soon as he was distracted, Ren Zhi felt a pain in his shoulder. He turned his head and took a look. There was a sharp arrow stuck in his shoulder. The arrow was black, obviously poisoned.

All the strength in his body seemed to be taken away at that moment, and the moment Ren Zhi fell off his horse, he heard Ashina Aji ordering to his subordinates, "Kill all the rest and leave no one behind."

Beijing.

Duan Yixian was digging through the memorial, and Xiao Ping brought in a bowl lightly, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, this is the tonic soup that Lin Xian from Shangshi Bureau specially cooked for you. I specifically asked her to pay more attention to your diet, she dared not disobey, and hoped that His Majesty would drink all of it, and the prince of the province will come back and ask her."

Duan Yixian shook his head with a smile, "Who dares to ask her a question? She is already pregnant, why does she still cook by herself, and I'm afraid she will blame me when Fusheng comes back in the future." After finishing speaking, he put down the ink pen in his hand, and took the bowl of soup Tang, took a few sips casually, and asked casually, "Is Ping'er asleep?"

Xiao Ping nodded, "I went to see it just now, and the princess has already fallen asleep."

Duan Yixian shook his head helplessly, "Without Ren Zhi, no one can control her. She doesn't even listen to what I say. Every night, a group of people have to try their best to coax her to sleep. I don't know what will happen in a few years. .”

"Probably because the prince is not here, the princess misses the prince too much." Xiao Ping comforted, "It will be good for the princess to come back after a while."

Duan Yixian sighed softly, "Calculating now, he has been away from Beijing for more than four months. The last time I received a letter saying that he would be able to return after capturing Liangzhou City. It has been half a month and there is no news, and I don't know why. That's it."

"It will take a few days to come back from Liangzhou City. I'm afraid there should be good news in these few days. Your Majesty just calm down and wait for the prince to return with a big victory." Xiao Ping said.

Duan Yixian got up, opened the window, raised his eyes and saw the moon hanging high in the night sky, lowered his eyes, the moonlight was as cool as water, but he didn't know if that person had the opportunity to enjoy the bright moon with him at this moment.

A small voice suddenly came from outside the hall, Duan Yixian was slightly startled, took a step back, and said solemnly, "Come in."

The hidden guard jumped into the hall from the window and knelt in front of Duan Yixian on one knee, "Your Majesty, General Zhao of Bingzhou was ordered by the Marshal to leave some people to guard the city and has returned to Beijing. He will arrive soon, and General Lin of Sizhou also sent a letter saying Returning to Beijing under the command of the marshal, we will set off in the next few days."

Duan Yixian frowned. Turning around, Xiao Ping had brought up the map and unfolded it in front of him. Duan Yixian glanced over it, and reached out to click on several place names, "In the Nine Route Army, there are only two routes of Bingzhou and Sizhou. It is the closest to Liangzhou City, and they all returned to Beijing. Isn’t Liangzhou City isolated and helpless? No matter how many troops they have now, can they fight to the death with Ashina Aji’s main force who are huddled in Liangzhou City to recharge their batteries? "

The dark guard lowered his head, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know."

"Let's pass the order. It's fine that General Zhao is about to arrive in Beijing. General Lin must lead his army to Liangzhou City to help. No, the time has been delayed for too long. There must be something wrong with Ren Zhi. Ren Zhi has always been cautious. Both reinforcements have sneaked back to the capital? I must go to Liangzhou City to see for myself." Duan Yixian clenched his lower lip, then turned his head to Xiao Ping and said, "I want King Yi, Duan Yihong, to enter the palace immediately. There is also the Minister of the Ministry of War waiting outside the hall, I will see King Yi immediately after seeing him."

The dark guard froze for a moment, then shook his head hastily, "Your Majesty, your dragon's body is the most important thing, and it concerns the safety of my Zheng'an Dynasty. After all, there is Lord Fusheng in Liangzhou City, so nothing will go wrong."

Duan Yixian shook his head, "You should step back first, I will consider this matter, you first pass on my order, asking General Lin to go to Liangzhou City to check the situation first, I will arrive soon."

The dark guard looked up at Xiao Ping, Xiao Ping nodded at him, and the dark guard turned his head and jumped out of the window.Xiao Ping rolled up the map, turned his head to deliver Duan Yixian's order.Sitting alone in the hall, Duan Yixian felt extremely anxious.

Suddenly there was a crying sound, Duan Yixian was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw Ren Ping ran in barefoot crying, followed by several nurses, seeing Duan Yixian all silenced.

Duan Yixian got up and hugged Ren Ping in his arms, and waved to several wet nurses to let them back down.Ren Ping huddled in Duan Yixian's arms, with tears all over his face.Duan Yixian couldn't help feeling distressed, reached out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly, "What's wrong with Ping'er, didn't she fall asleep, why are you crying again?"

Ren Ping buried his face in Duan Yixian's chest, sobbed and said, "I dreamed about Daddy."

Duan Yixian said softly, "Do you miss your father?"

Ren Zhi nodded, then shook his head again, "I dreamed that Daddy had a lot of blood on his body, I was so scared, Father, I miss Daddy, when will he come back?"

Duan Yixian held Ren Ping's hand tightly. After a long time, he forced himself to smile and patted Ren Ping's back lightly, "Father will bring him back in a few days. Ping'er must be obedient, Father How about coaxing you to sleep?"

Ren Ping curled up in Duan Yixian's arms, nodded aggrievedly, and said softly, "Daddy will definitely come back safely, right Father, you have to promise me."

Duan Yixian bowed his head, kissed her small face, and said seriously, "Father, I promise you that I will bring him back intact, I promise."

Sleepiness struck, Ren Ping gradually closed his eyes, Duan Yixian hugged his little daughter tightly in his arms, couldn't help but look into the distance, I hope everything is still in time, he still has a chance.
