fluttering night wind

When the sky was bright, the Shu army had already finished its preparations.

The elite team led by Mencius Ying rushed to the city of Luoyi without rest for dozens of days before, and stormed the city for three days and three nights. When they thought they were done, they had to go back to save Xiangyang.Quite a few people showed confusion, fatigue or even despair on their faces.He and Shen Junli had to go to the opposing general to appease and explain one by one.

One is leaving and one has just arrived.Bai Yansheng had a secret conversation with him, and there was no space to talk.When the army set off in the afternoon, Bai Yansheng and Pei Lie hurried over to see them off.Meng Ziying saw Bai Yansheng standing on the ground, rubbing his hands, hesitant to speak, and felt very relieved.He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Cheng Guogong for conquering Xijing, quieting China, and making such an inexorable contribution. In the golden autumn of the coming year, there will be a happy event to be done. Ziying must have a generous gift to congratulate."

Bai Yansheng's face turned pale, he didn't know if he was telling the truth or was more of a joke, he was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.Pei Lie had no choice but to answer the call on his behalf.Meng Ziying leaned over and said to Pei Lie immediately: "Xiao Lie, you asked me earlier if I divided my troops from Qishan Xiegu to attack Chang'an. I will tell you now, no. I can't move Xichuan's troops. Then It must have the approval of the four major families of Shen Meng Xue Lei. But you can think of this, I am very pleased." After saying this, he clamped his legs into the horse's belly and rode forward, leaving only Give Bai Yansheng a chic back.

Pei Lie looked at the billowing dust and was speechless for a while.Although the Shu army went to Luoyi first, Hulao Pass and Xuchang had already fallen into the hands of Bai Yansheng. The Hu soldiers in Chang'an heard that Luoyi had lost and would go out to Hangu Pass. They were surrounded by enemies and the isolated city was difficult to defend. It's just tasteless.Coupled with the capture of Xiangyang, there is a danger of the base camp being copied, and returning to Jingzhou has become the best policy.

Abandoning Luoyi was obviously due to the situation, but in the eyes of the world, it seemed that Bai Yansheng owed him a big favor.Pei Lie thought to himself, luckily he didn't offend Meng Ziying when he was a child.

Bai Yansheng felt lost when he saw the group of people leaving.At this time, the food and supplies had gradually entered the city. He led a group of personal soldiers into the city first. After the defeat, although the city was dilapidated, the order was still good.So while ordering people to repair the damaged parts of the city wall, he went to Luoyi government office to collect seals.

The government office has been guarded by heavy soldiers.Most of the generals died in battle, and all the civil servants surrendered, tied up in the yard, and there were Hu Youhan.Xiao Rongyue and Liu Songnian, who went to the city earlier, are verifying the identities of everyone.He entered the main hall, and there was a plaque on the hall, with the words "Diao Ding Ning Li" inscribed in four large official script characters, and there were rows of "Quiet" and "Avoid" signs on both sides.Someone came and said that a Xianbei official named Chen Wu wanted to see him.He was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Rongyue, who followed in, pointed out softly: "Chen Wu and Chen Zilie, he is the military officer of Luoyi General's Mansion. Nong. Chen Wu's grandfather was the Minister of the Household Department of Emperor Yuan."

Bai Yansheng turned around and saw that her expression was still good, nodded and said: "Call him in." Then his subordinates pushed a middle-aged man wearing a Beiyan army uniform and a thin armor with five flowers tied up hard.Chen Wu staggered and fell to the ground in front of Bai Yansheng.The soldiers outside the door all laughed.

Bai Yansheng glanced at the door, and all the soldiers immediately fell silent.Chen Wu got up from the ground by himself, looked up at him, and said in a mournful voice, "General Bai, it is not a pity for a defeated general to die. But Chen has a question before he dies, and I would like to ask my lord to explain clearly. "Bai Yansheng nodded: "Tell me." Chen Wudao: "There are millions of soldiers and civilians in Luoyi, of which there are about 30 Hu people, and most of them have moved here in the past 30 years. How do you plan to deal with them?"

Although I knew there was a mix of Hu and Han in Luoyi, I didn't expect that there were so many Hu people, almost one-third of them.Bai Yansheng thought for a while, and said: "I didn't think about it for a while, do you have any good ideas, so that they will not riot and rebel?"

Chen Wu didn't expect him to have such a reaction. He was stunned for a while, plopped on his knees, and said in a sobbing voice: "Chen Wu used the Han officials to serve the barbarians, and his crime is unforgivable. But Luoyi's Xinjing soldiers wiped out all the characters. In Luozhong, there are people who have different concerns and grievances between life and death. I hope that the Lord will untie the net and benevolent, and suppress the martial arts to cultivate the culture, so as to calm the hearts of the people." Luoyi was captured by the Five Hus 30 years ago. Day, really seems like a lifetime away.But he thought that Hu and Han were separated from each other, the hatred was as deep as the sea, and he was afraid that Bai Yansheng would be overjoyed. If an order to purge the Hu people was ordered, the city would be full of blood, which was not what he would like to see.

Bai Yansheng stepped forward to help him up, untied him himself, and said warmly: "Brother Chen's words are absolutely true. Back then when the barbarians rebelled and caused disasters to the world, and the country's devastation has not yet recovered, how could Yansheng come up with such a foolish trick to make the innocent The common people avoid soup and fire. Regardless of Hu and Han, regardless of whether the scholars are high or low, it is this Luoyi who has been a minister and herdsman since the fall. His Majesty has long issued a clear edict and pardoned them together. There is no country in the Central Plains, and there are monarchs and ministers in troubled times. It is expected that Chen Your Excellency is not a person who is ignorant of the current affairs and trends, and if the geese sing and the countrymen treat them, they can also repay the countrymen."

There is no country in the Central Plains, but there are monarchs and ministers in troubled times.

Long before he went north to hunt for thieves, Liu Polu did have a will, ordering the world to return to his heart, and promised to pardon all those who surrendered, regardless of Hu or Han.It's not empty talk!Chen Wu was so excited that he burst into tears, he could hardly believe his ears.But suffering from the status of the second minister, he felt deeply ashamed in his heart, and he bowed his head and dared not make a sound.Bai Yansheng said again: "There will be a big war in Luoyi in the future, Yansheng will count on your lord for the comfort work in this city. If Master Chen needs anything, just come to me. I will arrange another helper for you." He turned his head and smiled at Xiao Rongyue, and said: "Rongyue, you know Luoyi best, so come on."

It was only then that Chen Wu noticed the person standing behind him, and that person stretched out his hand to remove the mask on his face. When Chen Wu looked at him, it was like a thunderbolt hit his head, and he was out of his wits: "Xiao, Princess Xiao..." Xiao Rong Dressed up like a man, Yue stepped forward and said indifferently: "Master Chen, the supreme edict must have arrived in Luoyi long ago, and I am no longer the Lord of Yaoguang County."

Bai Yansheng patted her on the shoulder, gave her an encouraging look, and hurried out to patrol.

When there were only two people left in the mansion, Chen Wu couldn't figure out the situation, so he thumped and knelt down again, and said, "Princess, what's going on? My lord, Emperor Yan said that the princess treasoned the country and fled south, and the minister would not die." I believe it. Did someone frame the princess behind her back, so that the princess had to take refuge in the Southern Dynasty?"

Xiao Rongyue expressionless, shook his head and said: "No one framed me. The imperial decree said that it must be true. I am not taking refuge, I am taking refuge in other countries for no reason, just to take their humiliation."

Seeing that Bai Yansheng was very kind to her, Chen Wu didn't know her position for a while, and felt worried.Princess Yaoguang said: "You go ahead and do it. Your family has been an official for generations. Let me ask you, from today's point of view, how is Cheng Guogong?" Chen Wu glanced around and made sure that there was no one else. Considered in a low voice: "This person is not about Huazao, but has a great spirit. He is the same as Xie Kun and Pei Xiu in martial arts. If he is not a treacherous and evil person, he is..."

Xiao Rongyue smiled a little desolately, interrupted him and said: "My lord has good eyesight. I hope my lord will help him and protect the people of Luoyi."

The city wall of Luoyi was severely damaged under the strong attack of the Shu army in three days.The west is cloudy and deserted, with showers approaching,

Bai Yansheng supervised the repairs at the top of the city, and placed many barriers such as wooden fences and antlers outside the city.At night, Pei Lie came to replace him.He got off the parapet, and saw a man and a horse hovering at the gate of the city, casting a long shadow in the setting sun.

"Aren't you going to help Chen Wu?" Bai Yansheng turned on Zhao Yebai and asked strangely.Xiao Rongyue shook her head and said: "Master Chen is very familiar with it, but I just added to the confusion." She suddenly tilted her head and smiled, "Do you want to go and see the place where you are recuperating?"

Bai Yansheng had heard from Shen Huaixiu that after he was rescued by her in Jiangling, he was taken to Luoyi to recuperate.At that time, he was very curious about how he got here all the way from thousands of miles away.Shen Huaixiu has always refused to say clearly.Hearing Xiao Rongyue's words at this time, his heart was shaken, so he nodded in agreement.The two galloped towards Yaoguang Temple.From a distance, a huge five-story pagoda stood tall. In the evening wind, the iron horses on the eaves of the pagoda clanged, and the sound spread for more than ten miles.

Arriving at the gate of Yaoguang Temple, seeing a group of soldiers in bright armor outside the gate, Bai Yan asked in a strange voice: "Are there many people in this temple? Why divide the guards?" Xiao Rongyue said: "There is only one acquaintance. There is a way in this temple Wait for me to speak slowly." The two got off their horses and entered the temple gate, only to see a monk and nun in green standing under the Futu Pagoda, but it was Huijing whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Amitabha" Huijing put her palms together, and first saluted the two people who came over.Seeing his old friend, Bai Yansheng was in a good mood, and he held his sword and bowed and said, "Master Hui, you are safe. After three years of treatment and care, the sound of Yanyan is unforgettable." Huijing remembered that when she entered Yanmen Pass, Xiao Rongyue searched everywhere along the way. The baller made things difficult for him, and even whipped him. Looking at the look in the little girl's eyes today, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Xiao Rongyue came up and asked: "Sister Hui, have you done what I told you?" Hui Jing pointed to the pagoda gate and said, "Young princess will know it at a glance."

Bai Yansheng didn't know what charades they were playing, and followed Xiao Rongyue into the Futu Pagoda. On the bottom floor was a Buddha statue of Guanyin, and countless oil lamps were lit in front of the altar.Xiao Rongyue walked to the back of the Buddha statue and saw that the base was sealed with bricks and mud. She kicked it and said, "This is the exit of the tunnel. Mr. Dong smuggled you into the city through the tunnel back then." , even the father and the supreme people don’t know where you are hiding. As soon as I entered the city today, I ordered people to seal the tunnel. The entrance outside the city was also blocked.”

I see!Bai Yansheng felt admiration for her spontaneously, and said: "This is Yaoguang Temple, were you sealed here before?" He remembered that her name was Princess Yaoguang.

Xiao Rongyue raised her head and stared at the Bodhisattva's expressionless face.

Once upon a time when she was running horses and hunting outside Luoyi City, she asked the Supreme Master, "Why did the princess of Emperor Yuan go to Yaoguang Temple to become a nun?" Well, the emperor specially built this temple for her. Southern women are scheming and jealous. It is better for us northerners, monogamy, so there is not so much trouble."

Xiao Rongyue sighed sullenly: "It turns out that the golden branches and jade leaves will inevitably end up in pieces." The Supreme wanted to make her happy, so he hoped that she would deliberately say: "Emperor Yuan is too stingy, and the princess gave me a pagoda. Little Rongyue, will I give you Luoyi, and I will also make you a princess."

Xiao Yuanzao, who was accompanying Emperor Yan, turned pale when he heard the words, and rushed up and said: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible. I'm afraid it will break her luck, she is only ten years old..." Murongde deliberately said with a straight face: "What can't be done, your daughter is my daughter, and the princess can also be named. If you can make her the princess, you can be the Marquis of Arong. A princess and a marquis are so good."

"Princess Princess," Xiao Yu turned around and made a grimace at Xiao Rongyue, Xiao Rongyue blushed, whipped his whip and went up to chase him, the two of them one after the other, the sound of horseshoes startled a group of white cranes in the lotus pond, shaking The wings flew into the clear sky.

Bai Yansheng saw that her eyes were full of tears unknowingly, so he said softly: "Rong Yue, you helped me go to Yuhang to quell the rebellion earlier, I have already obtained an imperial edict from the emperor, and I have never had the chance to tell you. As long as you take Luoyi, the emperor will recognize you as a sister-in-law and make you the princess of Luocheng, and you will still live in Luoyi. Xijing is dilapidated and has no royal spirit. The emperor will not drive back to Beijing. You are free here, Murongde and the Xiao family will not deliberately come to make things difficult for you."

"You are so kind to me." Xiao Rongyue lost all thoughts, lowered her head and muttered, tears fell into the dust.

You treat me very well, no one treats me like you except Brother Yu.But these are good, not what I want.Now that I have seen the blue sky outside, I don't want to die slowly in this pagoda like the Yuan Emperor's princess.

Xiao Rongyue wiped away tears, smiled, and asked: "Would you like to go to the top of the tower to have a look, the scenery is pretty good."

How did Bai Yansheng know what her daughters were thinking, and he thought she was very satisfied, so he followed her to the top of the pagoda.Climbing the tower and looking far away, Luochuan is in sight, and the whole city is at your feet.The winding lights on the nearby long street are the torches of the patrolling defenders, and the craftsmen at the top of the city in the distance are repairing the walls day and night.Looking up, the stars are shining brightly, as if you can pick them off with your hand.

The spring breeze in the north carries fine sand, and the bells on the top of the pagoda are clear and long.The wind seemed to shake the pagoda.

"No!" Bai Yansheng grabbed Xiao Rongyue, both of them opened their eyes wide.In the twilight, the ground vibrated faintly, the tower shook violently, and the sound of the iron horse became disordered.On the street not far away, houses collapsed one after another, kicking up countless dust, a fire broke out, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves could be heard in the night wind.

"The ground is shaking, get down!" Xiao Rongyue shouted.

Bai Yansheng carried her on his back, and before he had time to walk up the stairs, he breathed out his true energy and jumped directly from the top of the five-storey tower.As soon as his feet hit the ground, his feet shook and he couldn't stand still, and he fell to the ground.Huijing hurried over: "Are you all okay?"

Luoyi was hit by an earthquake at this time, buildings collapsed, and countless people were crushed to death!Bai Yansheng and Xiao Rongyue looked at each other, both of them turned pale.The two horses that were originally tied to the big tree in the temple stood up and neighed unceasingly.Huijing went to untie the reins, and the two horses rushed out of Yaoguang Temple in shock.

"I'll take a look outside the city," Bai Yansheng was concerned about the fortifications of the city wall, and chased out the door.Xiao Rongyue also made up her mind, and turned her head to ask Huijing: "Is there any disaster relief supplies in Yaoguang Temple, candles, clothes, wound medicine, whatever, you can look for it."

Bai Yansheng scanned the situation in the city along the way, there were cracks on the ground, aftershocks continued after the big earthquake, roof tiles splashed everywhere, and the fire had already spread in the wind, it was extremely bad!When he was about to reach the city gate, Pei Lie came running towards him, the two horses almost missed him, when the white geese stopped shouting, Pei Lie turned his horse to meet him.

"The Nanxun Gate collapsed, and several openings were opened on the west side, crushing many craftsmen to death!" Pei Lie hissed, his lips already cracked.

Bai Yansheng thought for a while, and said: "Go and adjust the baggage, rush the car and shovel the copper cannons, etc., first line up in the gap, and block it."

At this moment, the two of them felt the ground shaking under their feet again. "Another earthquake?" Pei Lie tried his best to control the frightened horse and tightened the reins.

"No, the enemy is coming!" Bai Yansheng pursed his lips and said solemnly.His gaze penetrated the gap in the city wall, and in the twilight, he saw thousands of banners and flags in the distance, and the iron armor shot the moonlight, and ants gathered on thousands of horses and scales.

========

Besides, Mencius Ying led the army into the evening and had marched tens of miles in a hurry.When the army was repairing by the side of the road, the soldiers suddenly felt the ground under their feet tremble violently, the soil on the nearby mounds fell down, and some small saplings were uprooted.All of a sudden, wild beasts screamed wildly, and war horses neighed wildly.

Meng Ziying also stood up and looked around.It took a stick of incense for the earth to shake and the kung fu gradually subsided.The dispatched scouts also returned to report: "Long live, an earthquake occurred in the direction of Luoyi this evening. The damage was very heavy, and a piece of the wall collapsed."

Meng Ziying was so shocked that her face turned white and her lips were green. She immediately got on her horse, turned the horse's head, and was about to gallop back.Shen Junli flew over to grab the reins, and said anxiously: "We parted ways halfway, and we must not turn back! Please, Your Majesty, also take care of the people of Xiangyang!"

Meng Ziying raised the silver whip and whipped it at him thoughtlessly, and said angrily: "You are too courageous! You dare to take care of my affairs!" Bite, grab the rein desperately, and won't let him go back.The sound of the two fighting attracted other lieutenants, and someone shouted: "General Shen, let go, don't startle the horse and accidentally injure the dragon's body!"

Shen Junli let go of his hands when he heard everyone approaching, and raised his head, his face was bloodstained and his eyes were red.Not only all the soldiers, but even Meng Ziying gasped, deeply regretting that he had done too much!

His dragon-subduing whip method has been famous for a long time, coupled with the special silver whip, he has the title of "one whip to the world", which is full of power.Meng Ziying quickly got off the horse and reached out to touch his face, but Shen Junli shook his shoulder and dodged away.Mencius Ying was so sad that she settled down and looked back in the direction of Luoyi.

All the soldiers were puzzled at first, but when they saw this scene, they suddenly realized.It must be that the emperor was worried about the sound of the white geese and wanted to return to the army to save Luo.Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, their colors were different for a while, some were hiding their secrets, some showed displeasure, and some were full of disappointment, they all cast sympathetic eyes on Shen Junli.

Mencius was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and after a while, he looked away, looked around at the crowd, nodded and said: "I lost my head for a while, thanks to General Shen who risked his life to remonstrate. Order the three armies to set off immediately and return to Xiangyang!"

Only then did the general breathe a sigh of relief, and everyone said "Decree" in unison.Meng Ziying waited for the people to disperse, walked up to Shen Junli, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Junli, I beat you today. I will make it up to you later. Now you find someone to send a letter to Seventeen Girls in Qingzhou Yaowanglu, called Mencius Luan will come to Luoyi immediately."

======

It is not an exaggeration to say that Luoyi is in a desperate situation at this time.

After experiencing the nightmare of the earthquake, when the residents of Luoyi escaped from the collapsed houses with their children and women, they heard the sound of war drums brought by the night wind, and the ensuing The hooves of galloping horses.

It came at a totally inopportune time.Bai Yansheng gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers outside the city lined up to listen to the sound of the drums. The cavalry were the most outside, followed by the infantry. Block the gaps in the city wall and not allow a single enemy to enter the city!"

The first wave of Xianbei cavalry were all black horses, the horseshoes and saddles were all made of gold, and the knives and halberds were made of dense cloth, neat and majestic.When Bai Yansheng was guarding Xuzhou in the Chongnian years, he had seen the mighty army of these Emperor Yan's personal guards in the city.At that time, the opponent just disappeared in a flash and did not hand in, but it was impressive enough.

The second wave of cavalry that followed was not so neat, with different uniforms, but everyone was like a wolf and a tiger, with greedy and bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes.After the two waves of people merged into one place, the team was divided in the middle, and a horse from the central army stepped out, reined in the horse and stood still outside the range of the bow and arrow on the city.By the light of the moon, the man on horseback with a bearded face and a mighty expression was seen. It was Xiao Yuanzao, the great general of the Zhu Kingdom that he had seen in Shengle.

In the night, Xiao Yuanzao's expression was not very clear, Bai Yansheng bowed his body and saluted immediately: "Luoyi is in such a catastrophe, the general of Zhu Kingdom marched day and night, maybe he came to condolences and rescue the disaster?" Xiao Yuanzao snorted coldly and said: "Xiao Come and take back my city." Bai Yansheng then said: "General Xiao has been running Luoyi for many years, so he really doesn't care about the people in this city? The king respects the heavens and protects the people, taking advantage of the dangers of the people to attack them, this is a senseless war."

Xiao Yuanzao heard that his words were quite accusatory, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. After laughing, he replied: "I did not act recklessly. The earthquake was caused by Liu Polu's ignorance and incompetence. Pray! If there is virtue, there will be order, and if there is no virtue, there will be chaos. To offend heaven and earth, this is a disaster from heaven as a warning. If heaven wants to prosper, there is nothing to say."

After he finished speaking, the thousands of troops and horses behind him uttered together: "Heaven is going to prosper! Long live, long live, long live!"

Long live's voice was deafening, Pei Lie made up his mind, and ordered his left and right: If there is any emergency, escort Cheng Guogong to Hulao Pass to the east and retreat.When he spoke, the sound of white geese was in front of him, and he had already heard it. Looking back at him, he said softly: "No need. The man died in battle, and his body was shrouded in horse leather. This is the best destination." Pei Lie argued with reason: "General, porcelain is not Competing with the tiles, the green hills are left without worrying about no firewood. Didn’t the Emperor Yuan also abandon the city and flee south? There are so many talents in Jiangdong, and it’s unknown if they will come back.”

Bai Yansheng turned around, looked at his lifelong enemy, and said in a deep voice: "There are times of success and failure, so don't be discouraged. A piece of jade is not alone!"

As soon as the words fell, as if they had sensed something, the defenders under the city also raised their swords and halberds together, and said loudly: "Justice is not born alone! Long live, long live, long live!"

The sound of "Long Live" one after another spread into Luoyi City with the night wind.At this time, Xiao Rongyue and Liu Songnian were rescuing and compensating the victims.Facing the scorching light of the pine torch, she looked towards the top of the city.Huijing grabbed her sleeve and said worriedly: "Princess, don't make trouble, General Bai can protect us." "But I don't want him to protect us!" "This Luoyi can't do without you now!"

Xiao Rongyue was shocked all over, and she lowered her head speechlessly.Yaoguang Temple was full of disaster victims, mothers weeping for their sons, wives crying for their husbands, there was a lot of mourning.The two searched for the injured among the crowd sitting on the ground and rescued them one by one.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the gate.A trumpeter galloped into the temple and shouted: "There are spies in the city, and there is a group of barbarian soldiers who will kill anyone they see on Zhuque Street. Don't leave here, everyone!"

After Xiao Rongyue and Huijing exchanged glances, they walked towards the little red horse tied under the bodhi tree. This time, Huijing didn't stop her, and watched one person and one rider disappear into the night.

She has lived in Luoyi for ten years, and she knows all the streets and alleys here like the back of her hand, so she took a horse to copy the path and arrived at Zhuque Street in no time.Sure enough, he saw the sharp sword in front of him, and the people and horses twisted into a ball.Liu Songnian was supervising the battle at the side, saw her coming, he went up to meet her and said, "They came out of nowhere, there are about dozens of people. All the soldiers in the city have been transferred to defend the city, what should we do?"

Xiao Rongyue thought to herself, the outside of the city is like iron barrels, she will never come over from the city wall, she can only use tunnels or something like that.The tunnel of Yaoguang Temple has been blocked, it seems that there are other secret passages.She caught sight of the leading Xianbei soldier and said loudly, "Brother Chen, stop first, I am Rong Yue."

Sure enough, the man burst into nonsense, and the two sides stopped for a while.It turned out that this person was Xiao Yuanzao's youngest son, Xiao Chen, and Xiao Rongyue's older brother.She made up her mind, patted the horse forward, and said in nonsense: "Brother Chen, what are you telling me?" Xiao Chen glanced at Liu Songnian beside her, and felt that the two were too close, he was afraid of hurting his sister, so he answered Said: "Rong Yue, are you okay? Daddy told me to sneak into the city to pick you up. Do these people understand what we say?"

Xiao Rongyue turned her head to give Liu Songnian a comforting look, then turned her head and continued to speak in Xianbei language: "They are all Han Chinese, so I don't understand. Brother Chen, where did you come from? Did Daddy only ask you to pick me up? Why did you kill these civilians? ?”

Xiao Chen bared his teeth and said, "Daddy said that these Han people have no conscience. We used to treat them so well. As soon as Bai Yansheng came, he surrendered to the enemy and became a second minister. Daddy said that he would wash Luoyi with blood until they begged for mercy."

Xiao Rongyue was so frightened that her three souls fluttered and her seven souls flew up.Her father was capable of doing this kind of thing. Back then, he was in chaos and did not go to Xiangyang for three years. Once the city was broken, blood would flow.She had already made a big decision at this time, and whispered: "How do we get out?"

Xiao Chen was on guard, even his sister didn't speak out in front of the enemy, and said vaguely: "Don't worry about it, just follow me. Can you kill the Han man beside you?" He saw that the Han man was not very strict with Xiao Rongyue. , she has no shackles on her hands and feet, guessing that her sister must have other ways to coax them.

Liu Songnian's eyelids twitched.Xiao Rongyue didn't dare to make eye contact with him, and said directly to Xiao Chen: "My martial arts were crippled by him, I can't beat him, and I can't leave. Brother Chen, you go by yourself." Liu Songnian whipped her on the back , pretending to be angry, said: "What a maidservant, what nonsense are you talking about! Tell them to surrender and surrender, Cheng Guogong will have a big reward." Xiao Rongyue bent down on the horse's back.

Xiao Chen really had no heart, he wished he could fly over to save his sister, and said anxiously: "How can this be done? Daddy still expects to cooperate with you and me, to cooperate from the inside to the outside, and open the door from the city!"

Xiao Rongyue raised her head and winked, pretending to be distressed and said: "Let me think of a way. Brother Chen, what is your appointment with Daddy?"

Xiao Chen said: "When you hear the bell in Yaoguang Temple, you will know that the West Gate has been broken, and Dad will lead the army over."

========

When the two armies faced each other outside the city, Xiao Yuanzao pointed his whip and said coldly: "Bai Yansheng, when you were recuperating in Shengle, I respected you as a hero and treated you like a guest of honour. Why did you abduct my daughter and shoot her? Kill me as a general, and take my city?"

Bai Yansheng said solemnly: "Today is the country and society, I dare not abolish the public for selfishness. Yansheng walks upright and sits upright, and he is worthy of the king, relative and teacher of heaven and earth."

When he said this, Xiao Yuanzao was slapped on the face by a "goddess who has no way".There was a ghost in his heart, he was shaking with anger, and he shouted: "Who will take off this good head for Supreme?"

A rider galloped out from the crowd behind him, and came straight to the sound of Bai Yan: "Xiao Han, come and meet for a while and become the Duke of the Kingdom." This man is Xiao Yuanzao's eldest son. "You are worthy!" Pei Lie drew his sword in his hand and went up to meet him.The two rode back and forth on horseback, raised their swords and went out of the battle, as if entering a land without people.

Although the age difference between the two was more than ten years, Pei Lie was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and after one or two hundred moves, he was not at a disadvantage.

While they were fighting, a long and loud sound of bells suddenly came from across the sky.Xiao Yuanzao opened his eyes, and without waiting for them to decide the winner, he pointed at the city wall of Luoyi with his iron arm, and said, "Let me flatten the city of Luoyi, and don't leave a single Han alive!" The iron cavalry behind him rushed westward like a tide.

Bai Yansheng looked to the west, and the gap on the city wall has not been filled yet.This is really going to kill until the sky is dark and the blood flows into rivers endlessly.Immediately, his blood was surging, and he also commanded the cavalry to rush into the enemy's formation with their swords in hand.

On this night intoxicated by the spring breeze, the sky inside the city collapsed, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and the army outside the city pressed down on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.One side occupies the land, and the other side has the time, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, killing people like hemp.In the dark night, the light of the knife reflects the torch, sparkling like a silver snake.Bai Yansheng suddenly heard a shout from the camp: "The west gate is broken, the west gate is broken!"

He was very annoyed for a while, and he didn't know who was causing the trouble, which broke the morale of the army.But it was not easy to give orders in the enemy's formation, so he had to retreat slowly.After Pei Lie got rid of Xiao Han, he merged with the rebellious army and Bai Yansheng, and said: "General, there is something wrong!" Although the west gate is not repaired in time, but there are heavy guards left, it shouldn't be breached so fragile.Bai Yansheng nodded, and said loudly: "Go and see, I'll resist here."

As soon as he was distracted to speak, he was surrounded by the enemy.Two fists are no match for four hands, he was about to jump out of the enemy's ring with his horse, when suddenly a person landed beside him, stabbing one of them down with a few strokes of his sword.The person who came here was well-dressed and well-dressed, with a strong sword, and it turned out to be Yang Nandang from Cangshan Mountain.

"Brother Yang, have you recovered from your injury?" Bai Yansheng was overjoyed. "Master Cheng Guogong is handsome, with a jade-faced Yan Luo, a good head is worth a thousand gold, but you have to keep it first." Yang Nandang acted like a wind, beheading several people in a row, and said with a long laugh.

"It's not just him, we old people are also here to help!"

Bai Yansheng looked up, suddenly there were dozens of figures among the rebellious army, including the Su brothers from Yujian Villa, Yue Tianyou from Huashan School, and others all brought their disciples to help out.Everyone is dressed in white clothes and white crowns, as if wearing filial piety, they are very conspicuous and easy to recognize in the dark night.As soon as these people entered the battle formation, Hu Bing automatically came up in a circle, and one or two came and went to save Xia Jun's emergency, which made the soldiers heave a sigh of relief.

The most difficult thing is to have an old friend come.Bai Yansheng was grateful, and said loudly: "Don't worry about me, please go to Ximen for help!"

When Yang Nandang was about to leave, he said boldly: "General Bai, don't worry, the Hu soldiers in Chang'an have been wiped out in Hangu Pass by martial arts heroes. We would have arrived earlier if the battle hadn't been too long."

=====

Xiao Yuanzao erected a large banner on the high hill outside the west gate, looked at the city wall, and saw the golden armored and helmeted Emperor Yan's personal guards bearing the brunt, shooting straight into the city like raindrops and disappearing in the boundless darkness.He waited for a while and frowned when he saw Xia Jun outside the city blocking the opening to the west like inexhaustible ants.

After the sound of the three-way drum, Xiao Han galloped down the mound, and said loudly: "Father, Commander Xia, the Xia army is brave, and Ximen can't get through for a while."

Xiao Yuanzao's heart moved, and he said loudly: "Did you see Xiao Chen and Rongyue in the west gate?" Xiao Han said: "No. After our five thousand elites entered, there was no sound. It seems that there are also deadly battles in the city."

Xiao Yuanzao hurriedly stood up from the horse harness, gritted his teeth and said, "Ming Jin, re-arrange the formation. We've been tricked!"

When the two sides were fighting, only the sound of golden drums came from behind the Yan army.Bai Yansheng also waved his hand to signal Mingjin, so after the fierce battle, on the spring night in the Northland, the battlefield of tens of thousands of people regrouped, dust was flying, and blood was scattered everywhere.

Xiao Yuanzao led the horse to the front of the formation, his face was gray and defeated, he took a deep breath, and let out a long roar.They Xianbei Xiao clan, originated from Baishan Heishui, have a unique skill "lion's roar", with one roar, the six armies are defeated.Even Zhao Yebai of Bai Yansheng raised his front hooves in shock and stood up.Xiao Yuanzao's whistling sound spread several miles away, and he shouted loudly: "Xiao Rongyue, get out!"

"Get out!" The three words echoed in the field of Shura, the sound vibrated in the mountains, and the sound stopped the clouds.

Bai Yan turned his head in a loud voice, and saw a little red horse galloping out of the guards outside the west gate, the man on the horse was thin and thin, who else could it be but Xiao Rongyue?

Xiao Rongyue galloped to the front of the formation.Bai Yansheng blamed: "Didn't I hand you over to Chen Wu? Why did you..." Xiao Rongyue didn't dare to look at him, she steered her horse past him, walked ten steps in front of Xiao Yuanzao, dismounted and knelt down, kowtowed and said: " The unfilial girl Xiao Rongyue pays her respects to her father."

Xiao Yuanzao smoked from his seven orifices, his cheek muscles twitched, and after a while he said: "I should bow down to you. You are so skillful, let me ask you, what happened to Xiao Chen who came to rescue you? You lured him into What happened to the Yanyun cavalry in the city?"

Xiao Rongyue straightened up, with no tears on her face, she said dully: "Brother Chen was killed by me. There was an ambush inside the west gate, and Yan Yun's iron cavalry were all strangled, and no one survived. There are no more rioting soldiers in the city."

As soon as she said this, no matter Hu Hanyanxia, ​​everyone was shocked.Even Bai Yansheng was shocked, he said in surprise: "Rongyue, you..." Xiao Rongyue shouted: "Don't come here!"

Xiao Yuanzao raised his head and roared loudly, it took him a cup of tea before he stopped. "A rebellious girl! You were born as a traitor and died as a rebellious ghost. I am ashamed of the emperor's heaven, and ashamed of my descendants."

The most severe and vicious curse from her father caused Xiao Rongyue's life to wither quickly. She stood up unsteadily, with a small porcelain bottle already in her hand. "It's a gift from my parents, it's inviolable!" She raised her head and poured the meth from the porcelain bottle into her mouth, then threw the small bottle at Xiao Yuanzao's feet.

Xiao Yuanzao looked at her coldly, motionless.Xiao Han didn't know the whole story, even though she heard that Xiao Chen died at her hands, he still didn't want to believe it.At this time, he said: "Sister, don't do stupid things. Come here and talk slowly."

Xiao Rongyue shook her head, gloomy and pale, and said: "I can't make it through. Big brother, do you remember the vows we made as brothers and sisters playing outside Yanmen Pass when we were young?" Xiao Han thought hard, forced a smile and said: "I remember. You asked Xiao Yu why the Han people would throw stones at us when they saw us. When will the Hu Han family be able to stop the Hu Han family? The Great Wall will not guard against Hu. Sister Rong, these are all children's jokes. Not my family Their minds must be different.”

"I'm sorry, brother, you just pretend you don't have my sister."

Bai Yansheng jumped up from the horse, Xiao Rongyue drew Fengming Sword with her right hand to resist, Kuai Xuejian shot the eagle, the wind was sharp and the snow was cold, Bai Yansheng flashed the sword flower, her left hand behind her wiped her neck, blood splattered everywhere!He forgot that Feng Ming sword has two swords in one sheath, but she can use both hands.

During the battle, the three armies suddenly became silent, and the four sides were silent.

Yang Nandang, who was originally at the base of the city, felt that something was wrong, galloped to the front of the army, took a look, and felt heartbroken.At this time, everything was quiet, and after this dark and stormy night, there was a clear rooster crowing from the sky.Countless people looked up to the east, fish belly appeared in the sky, and a red light flashed at the horizon.

Seeing that Xiao Yuanzao didn't intend to collect the corpse, Yang Nan said softly, "It's the master's closed disciple, and we will do it in Yujian Villa for the younger sister's enshrinement." He took off his outer shirt, wrapped the body up, and carried it to the back went.

Xiao Yuanzao and Bai Yansheng remained motionless like clay sculptures and wood carvings.

It was bright daylight, and the war horses neighed uncomfortably.Bai Yansheng pulled out his sword indifferently and pointed at Xiao Yuanzao:

"You and I each have their own way, whose way is the right way, Bai Yansheng
