"My lord! The people from Mount Qihuang took a detour from the northwest in an attempt to go straight to Jinling!" The spies rushed to report, but before Huo Xiao could say anything, Wen Renhuang stood up excitedly: "Are you finally here?"

Huo Xiao said in a deep voice, "Shen Chen."

Shen Chen got up immediately.

"You send people to protect Wenren and Lord Ruan, remember to stay away from Jinling, and don't let the people of Qihuang Mountain find them." Huo Xiao's order made Wen Renhuang instantly dissatisfied.

"Let me go again?" he exclaimed.

Huo Xiao frowned: "Fengtian came here with the heart of success or benevolence. You once belonged to Qihuang Mountain, and no matter whether you win or lose, you have a great relationship with him, so you can't be careless."

"Huo Xiao, let me tell you, don't say every time you send me far away to protect me! This is not about you alone. Fengtian is the one who raised me, and Daqi is my country." !” Wen Renhuang roared angrily.

Ruan Zhengqing, who was sitting next to Shen Chen, just frowned and didn't say a word.

"..."

"Don't talk!" Wen Renhuang relied on the fact that he had just come back from the ghost gate and Huo Xiao interrupted him obediently, "This time I won't leave without saying anything, I know Fengtian better than you, The chances of victory will be greater with me in it!"

He vowed, and at the same time said: "What's more, if I leave, what will Qu Chengluan do, he is a fragrant bun now, so nothing will happen!"

Qu Chengluan was also rescued after waking up. The medicine was given by Wen Renhuang in a messy way. Ordinary doctors really couldn't cure him, so he had to use spiritual power to heal him slowly.

Huo Xiao felt his head hurt again.

"Actually, I think what your Highness said is right. After all, compared to the prince and General Shen who don't have much contact with Qihuang Mountain on weekdays, we are considered to be the closest people to King Feng, so we can do something at critical times." Idea." Ruan Zhengqing finally spoke, with reasons and evidence.

Shen Chen also felt that it should be so, nodded and said: "My lord, there is some truth in what Mr. Wenren said."

Huo Xiao looked at Shen Chen expressionlessly: "You mean, this king can't deal with Feng Tian, ​​and has to rely on others?"

Facing Huo Xiao's cold face, Shen Chen instantly regretted making an afterthought.

In the end, Wen Renhuang was still not sent away, he expressed that he would stay by Huo Xiao's firm side, and the dignified King Duan blushed a little when he counted troops.

This time they called for urgent troops. The whereabouts of Qihuang Mountain's men and horses were uncertain but they suddenly started to attack with all their strength. The [-] tiger battalion followed Huo Xiao and galloped all the way.

The imperial city is defenseless at this moment, this is a fatal crisis, if Qihuang Mountain is allowed to occupy Jinling, it will definitely lead to chaos in the army, just wait and see how long the defenders of the imperial city can last and how fast they can march !

While galloping on horseback, Wen Renhuang worriedly looked behind frequently.

"What are you looking at?" Huo Xiao asked in a low voice as he got closer.

"No, you pay attention to the front." Wen Renhuang immediately replied.

There was a slender figure following behind the army, Wen Renhuang frowned, as if distressed and helpless, finally turned his head and didn't look back.Huo Xiao silently saw all this, but didn't make a sound, only took a deep look at the figure and chased after him.

If they meet head-on, Wen Renhuang will not know what to do.

One is like the elder brother who raised him for eight years, even though his motives, his mind seems to have never been understood.One is a love that has been bound up since childhood and is hard to let go now.

The evening wind is still slightly cool, and the incomplete leaves blown off by the wind are so cold that they can cut your cheeks. The 20 soldiers and horses in the tiger's body and the [-] horses in the town are not far away, but so many people are really impressive at once. It's not easy to turn around.These days, Fifth Tingnv has been stalemate with Qihuang Mountain in the west of Jinling, no one dared to guess what happened to Fifth Tingnv, which made Qihuang Mountain break out like this.Thinking of this, Wen Renhuang couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

The city gate outside Jinling City was quiet, and it seemed that it was not affected by anything. Huo Xiao grabbed the reins and shouted, "Where are the defenders of the city!"

His voice was loud and clear in the dark night, and immediately startled the defenders of the city. The soldiers on the city gate were frightened when they saw so many soldiers and horses gathered below the city:

"My lord!"

Huo Xiao's horse paced back and forth anxiously.

"Is there any strange noise?" Huo Xiao continued to ask.

"Go back to your lord, everything is normal, you have to open the door to welcome him!" the man also opened his voice and shouted.

Huo Xiao's face darkened, and Wen Renhuang also felt something strange. The agreed Qihuang Mountain army was located somewhere, so many people outside the city gate were brought by Huo Xiao, and the horses all seemed a little anxious.

"Don't open the gate!" Huo Xiao shouted suddenly, "No matter what happens, don't open the city gate!"

As soon as his voice stopped, the defenders on the city gate suddenly fell down the city tower roaring like they were drowning and suffocating.

The war horse neighed!Huo Xiao immediately shouted: "Keep moving, don't stop!"

Countless tiny reptiles crawled out from the fallen defenders of the city. When the war horse saw them, it seemed to be frightened. Wen Renhuang saw at a glance that they were poisonous insects from Qihuang Mountain, and shouted: "Stamp on the ground to death!" insect!"

The war horses were already anxious at this time, and it was easy to trample the bugs to death, but if there was a little carelessness, the bugs would climb up the soldiers' bodies along the horse's legs, and those soldiers who were bitten fell off their horses in pain.

"Damn it," Wen Renhuang dodged in panic, looking around, "Vulture, it's you!"

There were not many poisonous insects, and they were all wiped out in a short while, but there were also many soldiers who were bitten and couldn't get on their horses. Wen Renhuang's face changed slightly, it seemed that the vulture was showing mercy, and he didn't do anything cruel, and his eyes were unconscious Looking back, there was a neat military column outside the city under the moonlight, and no single figure came out again.

With such a trick, everyone finally believed that the people from Qihuang Mountain were nearby, but where were so many people?

Shen Chen and the entire Huben camp seemed a little angry.

"You take the Huben Battalion and move separately, and guard the eighteen gates of the outer city. Each gate must be guarded separately. Remember not to let anyone open the gate."

"My lord, [-] troops have been dispersed, what if you encounter Qihuang Mountain?" Shen Chen asked with a frown.

Huo Xiao looked up at the moon: "They took advantage of the night to hide. It's just after the end of the day, and it will be dawn in two hours. Then they will have nowhere to hide. During this time, we will guard the city gates. That’s the most important thing.”

"As ordered!"

The 5 troops were dispatched, and there were still injured soldiers among the remaining 15 troops. Huo Xiao ordered his people to rectify on the spot and not to relax their vigilance. But just as they finished their decision, there was a mournful song of birds from the sky.

Wen Renhuang's face changed in shock: "It's a heavenly thing!"

Huo Xiao sneered: "However, even livestock and birds dare to come out to embarrass others, let me shoot them all!"

Wen Renhuang looked at the birds circling in the sky, and found something strange, and only after someone shot him down did he realize that something was wrong: "Stop!"

"My lord, this is a trick!" Wen Renhuang hurriedly said, "These birds are not attacking objects, don't waste arrows!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the shrill chirping of the birds circling in the sky, and there was no peace surrounding the entire Jinling in an instant!

"It's...a magpie?" Ruan Zhengqing asked in surprise.

Wen Renhuang looked worriedly into the distance, and saw that the city was gradually lit up, and more and more people were awakened by the sound of birdsong. "My lord, I feel a little bad."

Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, his eyes fell on Wen Renhuang who opened his mouth wide, his face changed slightly, but in the end he turned helpless.

"I said, you should have stayed in the first place."

Wen Renhuang looked at him and said, "I also said that you will definitely need me."

The sound of birds chirping slowly faded away as the lights gradually became brighter. When Wen Renhuang looked up at the sky again, he found that there were no more noisy things hovering in the sky, but even more noisy things were about to happen.

Sure enough, within half an hour, voices came from the city, and Wen Renhuang silently counted in his heart: one, two, three...

"I don't know, in the middle of the night, King Duan and my younger brother are not resting or training in the camp. Why did they lead so many troops to besiege the capital?"

Qu Mingkun appeared above the city gate with a gloomy face, and he could still catch a glimpse of the painful moans of the defenders lying on the city wall who hadn't fallen.

He transferred his [-] relatives into Huo Xiao's command. In front of all the courtiers, it was tantamount to announcing to the whole world that the current imperial city is undefended. The pro-army who hadn't brought him Qu Mingkun, both emotionally and rationally, seemed to want to usurp the throne.

The city wall was covered with imperial guards, and they held up torches to brightly illuminate the sky, Qu Mingkun's gloomy face, and the thousands of troops under the city gate.

"Well, you Qu Mingkun, your ability to spout blood is getting stronger and stronger." Wen Renhuang said bluntly, since he tore his face with Qu Mingkun in the court hall, he never wanted to speak politely again.

"Pay attention to your tone of voice, don't make people think that our royal family are all such uneducated people." Qu Mingkun said contemptuously.

Wen Renhuang was so angry, he never expected that he would argue with himself about such things at this time——

"That's natural. I was not educated since I was a child. I am an uneducated person. It's my fault!" He poohed.

Qu Mingkun smiled coldly: "It's not your fault, it's my brother who didn't teach you well!"

Huo Xiao frowned: "Your Highness, I have received news that Qihuang Mountain will attack Jinling tonight. I am worried that there are not enough guards in the city, so I came to defend the city."

Qu Mingkun's figure trembled slightly on the tower, which was insignificant.

"Qihuang Mountain has been stalemate with your lord and your troops in the front, and now there is a sudden night attack. Is it because you are not defending well, or is there something else hidden?"

"Bah, I'm still feeling weird at this time." Wen Renhuang cursed in a low voice.

"No matter what your Highness thinks, I just need your Highness to remember one thing, this great revelation is the great revelation of the Qu family." Huo Xiao said coldly, holding the reins tightly.

"So it doesn't matter whether it's Qu Mingkun or Qu Minghuang, right? My lord, please don't try to use your own selfishness to determine the position of the king of a country!" Qu Mingkun roared angrily.

Wen Renhuang felt so ashamed, why would he be brothers with such a person, and could say such words without shame in front of 10,000+ troops outside the city and tens of thousands of people inside the city.

Fortunately, he has already seen Qu Chengluan's "corpse", otherwise he would add another Qu Chengluan at this moment, and he would lose the faces of all the descendants of the Qu family.

"Tonight, King Duan led 20 troops to besiege the city. Is it to prevent a night attack from Qihuang Mountain, or are you the ones who want to attack at night?"

"This king doesn't want to spend too much time talking with you, Your Highness should go back to the palace to sleep as soon as possible, it will be better with this king guarding here." Huo Xiao said irritably.

Qu Mingkun sneered a few times: "My lord has been in the eyes of no one for too long. My father thought of the old general's old feelings and treated you tolerantly, but you didn't know how to mobilize the prince to seize the throne."

"Qu Mingkun, are you enough? Fengtian may be nearby. Do you want him to see your face?" Wen Renhuang really couldn't stand his nonsense, so he said this sentence appropriately , works surprisingly well.

When Qu Mingkun heard that Fengtian might be around, he immediately bit his lips tightly.

Seeing the effectiveness of this, Wen Renhuang took a deep breath and said, "Qu Mingkun, I still respect you as an elder brother in my heart, don't you do something that will shame the world!"

"Shameless?" Qu Mingkun sneered, "I don't know that the elder brother, Ben Gong, has lived in the deep palace for a long time. What shameful thing did I do so that you led people to try to capture the capital? Is it the father?" I didn't take good care of you back then and let you live outside for many years, but I never thought that you would be so narrow-minded!"

This is clearly a reversal of black and white!

Hearing Renhuang's anger, he never expected that Qu Mingkun would be so shameless in front of so many people that he could talk nonsense.Huo Xiao whispered as usual: "Don't get angry."

"There's something really wrong with him." Wen Renhuang glanced at the gate tower in disgust.
