The system pits me and destroys the heroine

Chen Zhaoxia hid behind a tree and changed her clothes.

She threw the bloody coat on the ground, but He Shikun didn't expect to be discovered by him. He rode on a horse and soon caught up with several people and surrounded her.

"Your Highness really values ​​love and righteousness." When He Shikun said this, his eyes were on Xia Ningle, "I really admire it."

His tone was full of yin and yang, and it was obvious that he had begun to doubt whether Xia Ningle had him in his heart, and he said again: "This place is very dangerous, please follow me back, Your Highness."

"The frontier city is right in front of you, how about General He escorting the palace back to the fiefdom?" Si Qinglian held a long knife in his hand, and his whole body was extremely sharp.

"I'm afraid that's not possible." He Shikun raised his hand, and dozens of people behind him drew out their knives, "The Holy Majesty ordered me to take His Highness back to the imperial city to choose a date for marriage. If His Highness is unwilling, you can only forgive me for being rude. "

"Let's talk nonsense, I will definitely not go back. If you dare to forcibly stop it, it will be treason." Si Qinglian glanced at the soldiers.

For them, if they are stamped with the mark of rebellion and treason, it will not be washed off for a lifetime, and even the younger generations will not be able to hold their heads up, and they will not be able to be officials in the future.

"They dare not stop me, but I dare." He Shikun jumped off the horse, "I will take my fiancée back, so I won't be treasonous!"

The word "fiancee".

It made Xia Ningle feel uncomfortable. He Shikun is not a good man, and he can't be. He is not worthy of his boss Qinglian at all, and he is not even worthy of saying these three words.

The two quickly hit each other with a knife.

He Shikun's skill was not as quick as Si Qinglian's, but he slashed at Si Qinglian's vital points, and Si Qinglian was able to save the day every time. After a few rounds, the strength of the two was evenly matched.

Fangzhu looked anxious, and said: "What should we do? Should we find a way to help His Highness?"

Xia Ningle shook his head: "Don't worry, wait for help."

Yesterday Si Qinglian emphasized that Geng Zhi would bring troops to rescue him, and the best situation now is to delay time, Si Qinglian suddenly took half a step back.

She said: "Bengong's knife has chopped down a corpse, General He should be careful."

"Exactly, so is my knife."

Xia Ning was anxious: "Your Highness, no."

The ice-sharp knife was waving everywhere, and it was frightening to watch, even if it was even scratched a little bit by the blade, the consequences would be unimaginable. Xia Ningle persuaded her a few words, but the two of them still fought intently, and neither of them stopped.

Fortunately, Geng Zhi came with rescuers.

An arrow flew between the two of them, and He Shikun subconsciously turned over to avoid it. Si Qinglian threw out the scabbard and hit him hard on the chest. The moment he fell to the ground, the knife was on his neck.

He Shikun's body was stiff and motionless.

The cavalry behind Geng Zhi were all in black armor, and he surrounded the only dozens of white armor cavalry in a tight circle, and Geng Zhi dismounted: "Your Highness, the subordinates are late."

"It's not too late, it's just right." Si Qinglian turned his head and said to the white armored cavalry, "Go back and tell Liang Xie that He Shikun was captured by this palace. If you want him to be safe and sound, you can exchange it with food."

They looked at each other, not knowing what to do, He Shikun had a knife on his neck, and the blood of the corpse puppet was on the knife, and he didn't dare to move, but his eyes were still so fierce: "Could it be that Your Highness wants to disobey the holy order?"

"You are not qualified to be my husband-in-law." The knife in Si Qinglian's hand penetrated half an inch, "Let them go back and bring food."

He Shikun asked them to go back. These soldiers were originally Liang Xie's soldiers, so it's okay to ask them to fight their lives to kill the puppet, but if they save him... then they may not necessarily die.

Geng Zhi tied He Shikun's hands firmly, and carried him onto the horse. Si Qinglian stretched out his hand to Xia Ningle after getting on the horse: "Come on, ride with me."

There were no extra horses for soldiers to ride. After a few people gave up their horses, they could only ride together. Xia Ningle took her by the hand and sat astride the front. Maybe she was afraid that she would not be able to sit steadily. Si Qinglian supported her with one hand. Her waist kicked the horse's belly, and they ran to Jiangcheng together with her.

Si Qinglian learned that Jiangcheng was surrounded by corpse puppets, each soldier had a leather pouch tied around his waist, and inside were special bags of blood to lure corpse puppets away. The road was bumpy for a long time, and her hands were always around Xia Ningle, from a distance, looked like she was holding Xia Ningle in her arms.

When he was in front of the gate of Jiangcheng, Song Yuhang on the city saw someone coming, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to release blood bags. The trebuchet originally used to kill the enemy was filled with blood bags, and they were thrown to both sides of Jiangcheng. It was all over the ground, and the corpse puppets ran to both sides one after another, making way for the city gate.

Song Yuhang: "Quickly open the city gate!"

A lone corpse puppet attacked the team, and the soldiers threw the prepared blood bag far away. The corpse puppet smelled the scent of blood, and for a moment didn't know which way to go, and froze for a while.

After the team entered the city smoothly and closed the gate, the soldiers moved over heavy bricks and wood to block the gate. Song Yuhang hurried down the tower and was stunned for a moment when he saw He Shikun who was tied up.

"Hey, isn't this our brave General He?" Song Yuhang puffed out his chest in front of him, very proud, "Why are you a prisoner?"

He Shikun sneered and didn't speak.

The soldiers and common people in the city knew that Princess Changle had come all the way, and knelt down one after another, especially the survivors who escaped earlier. After telling the story of Princess Changle and Xia Ningle, everyone was grateful. How can such a person not be admirable if he can still leave dignity for the dead.

However, it is inevitable that some people who have lost their loved ones will cry in grief. Among them, a thin old woman with thick eyebrows and white hair, hunched over, and Xia Ningle repeatedly confirmed the things in the ruined temple. When they learned that their son was no longer alive, they almost He passed out from crying, and finally the neighbors helped him go home.

Xia Ningle's heart was also heavy. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man. She knew how sad the old woman was when she lost her relatives.

He Shikun didn't say anything when he saw this, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After Si Qinglian thanked everyone, he waved for someone to lock He Shikun up.

Xia Ningle: "Your Highness doesn't plan to deal with him?"

Si Qinglian looked at it clearly and wished he could kill He Shikun, and would not let him go for food, Xia Ningle didn't quite understand what Si Qinglian was thinking.

Si Qinglian said: "There is no food in the city, and tens of thousands of people will starve to death. Besides, if He Shikun is really dead, the queen will have no scruples. The foolish and loyal Liang Xie will become her sharp sword."

Indeed, if the empress takes full power, she will definitely order Liang Xie to completely cut off the road to Jiangcheng. Trade for food.

Xia Ningle nodded: "How much food is left in the city?"

The general who defended the city: "There is no food, and everyone survived by drinking water and eating bark."

Xia Ningle felt that Si Qinglian knew things well, and she had calculated that there was no food in the city. On the other hand, she was more anxious to kill He Shikun than Si Qinglian. She sorted out her emotions and calmed down a lot.

Si Qinglian asked: "How many soldiers are there in the city?"

The general who defended the city: "There are less than 4000 left. The infected people who were arranged in the village broke through the defense line due to a mudslide, and more than 2000 people died. Later, due to the sudden epidemic in the city, more than [-] people died. , the people in the city were also killed and injured countless times.”

So many people died!

Jiangcheng is smaller than Xia Ningle imagined. In its heyday, the population of guarding the city was about 7, but now the population of 2 is good.

Xia Ningle asked: "What about the border town?"

There are 15 troops stationed in the border town, and there is enough food for two months. If there is a little bit of food, there is still no problem with one month's food.

"This..." The general who defended the city looked ashamed.

Xia Ningle was puzzled, and Si Qinglian explained: "It's the garrison army. Whether it is to transfer military rations or transfer troops, they need soldier amulets."

Si Qinglian took out the soldier talisman hidden in his cuff, and said again: "If you want to transfer troops, I have to go to the border town in person."

The plot mentioned very little about Beijiang. She only knew that Beijiang was captured by corpse puppets, and even the border towns were not spared, so the journey to the border towns must be extremely dangerous.

"I want to go with His Highness." Xia Ningle knew that she was a burden, but she had to follow, otherwise it would be hard to feel at ease. She was afraid that Si Qinglian would disagree, so she added, "I will be where Your Highness is. If His Highness doesn't Agreed, I will go by myself."

Si Qinglian's beautiful eyes were shining brightly, she nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you will stay with me, but this matter is not urgent, if Liang Xie brings food and grass, then what you should worry about is the potential infection in the city." By."

Xia Ningle almost forgot about the infected people in the city, she immediately asked, "Oh no, how many days has the city been out of food?"

"It's been three days," said the general, "but the common people will secretly prepare some food in their own homes."

How can the infected person eat that little food for three days? If the situation is better now, it means that the infected person is in a state of high fever, and the worst case is that the corpse puppet has begun to spread.

Si Qinglian: "Order, if there is a high fever in the family, they must be quarantined first, and they can only go back after the doctor's inspection."

"Yes, Your Highness."

There were not many soldiers in the city, but it was not difficult for each of them to assign a few households to observe. After Chen Zhaoxia waited for them to finish talking, she said, "Can I go back to my relative's house for a few days, just a few days."

Xia Ningle couldn't make up her mind, she set her eyes on Si Qinglian, and Si Qinglian arranged for Geng Zhi to follow Chen Zhaoxia.

After thanking Chen Zhaoxia, she left. She had a strange expression when she left, as if she was going to do something very important. Anyway, it had nothing to do with Xia Ningle, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Although the owner of the shop is a bit old, she is still a woman, so she was arranged in the widow's house, and the widow is also willing. It is also good for the two to be companions.

The nanny and Yu'er were placed in a courtyard. There used to be a rich family living here, but they all died overnight under the mouth of corpse puppets. There are many empty rooms in the courtyard, so Xia Ningle simply lived here. It's convenient to take care of Yu'er.

The strange thing is that Si Qinglian doesn't live in the princess mansion, so she lives in a courtyard with her. In her words: "The princess mansion is too big, too few people and deserted. I don't like it."
