Destiny of crossing

Under the leadership of Murong Chong, the Xiyan army attacked the city for more than a month. Seeing that the Qin army could not hold on and was about to be defeated, the momentum was even stronger than before.

Before dark, Murong Chong summoned all the soldiers and prepared to take Chang'an in one fell swoop, but he never expected that an army of unknown origin would attack from behind, and the number of them exceeded [-]. Shocking.

Taking advantage of the turmoil in Xiyan's army, Qin soldiers opened the gates of the city wide, and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out. Wherever they went, limbs flew and blood splattered everywhere.

The incident happened suddenly, Murong Chong and Xiyan's soldiers and horses were attacked by the enemy, so they were caught off guard.

The battle lasted less than half an hour, most of Xiyan's army surrendered, and a few retreated for more than ten miles under the leadership of Murong Chong.

Both the Jin and Qin Dynasties suffered casualties in this battle, but not too many were injured.

For Qin Jin's first alliance, it can be said to be surprisingly smooth. Xiyan's performance is quite different from the past, and it is almost a defeat without a fight.

Fu Jian didn't have time to study all these strange signs, he only wanted to bring Pei Ran back, and sent people to bring Emperor Xiaowu of Jin to him one by one.

After the war, the soldiers and horses on both sides of the Qin and Jin Dynasties quickly drew apart, with a distance of [-] meters in the middle, and the north and the south faced each other. The two sides each held nearly [-] prisoners.

Fu Jian stood high on the city wall, and two girls, Wushuang and Wuhen, followed him. On one side stood the Emperor Xiaowu of Jin, whose hands were bound and washed clean.

Fu Jian glanced at Sima Yao: "Your subjects are very loyal to you!"

Sima Yao twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, with a half-smile, and only uttered two words: "Naturally."

Fu Jian's eyes darkened, and he really wanted to punch that face that deserved a punch. These days, he wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Sima Yao, but for the sake of the overall situation, he endured it.

Of course, soft torture is still indispensable, for example, to stage the intimacy between him and Pei Ran in front of Sima Yao, such as not giving food for a few days, etc. Thinking about Sima Yao's embarrassing appearance these days, Fu Jian not only smiled proudly.

Then, he took two steps forward and said condescendingly: "I have brought you the emperor here, so it is time for you to send my beloved back!"

At this time, seventeen miles away from Chang'an, the Jin Army's dungeon.

Pei Ran stood straight in front of the cell. Outside the cell, Li Yuanxian smiled and held a small basket in his hand.

He took off the cover, revealing several plates of delicious meals, and then put them on the small wooden table next to the cell through the gap between the prison posts.

"Mr. Pei, I'm really sorry. The war outside is urgent, and I forgot to bring you food in the rush. It's just that you have been locked up here for almost a day. You must be starving! Come on, I specially asked someone to do this for you. Prepared, do you think it suits your appetite?"

Pei Ran smiled lightly, and said modestly and politely, "Thank you, Guard Li, for your trouble."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the chopsticks with one hand, chewed and swallowed lightly, but did not notice the cunning that flashed in Li Yuanxian's eyes at that moment.

Not long after eating, someone came to report that they wanted to take Pei Ran outside Chang'an City to exchange hostages.

Pei Ran frowned upon hearing this, so fast?

Going to exchange the hostages, Xie An and Li Yuanxian led the whole army and mobilized them. When they arrived at the city of Chang'an, it was already dark, but the torches lit by the two sides made it look like daylight.

Pei Ran's hands were tied, standing in the team, dressed in white, with an outstanding demeanor, refined, even among thousands of troops, Fu Jian saw him at a glance, seeing that he was all right, Fu Jian was relieved down.

The Jin army, led by Xie An, Xie Shi, Li Yuanxian, etc. sat on tall horses. Several soldiers who looked like soldiers pushed Pei Ran to the front of the battle. Xie An rushed to the city wall and shouted: "Fu Jian, let our emperor go! Come down, we will hand over people at the same time."

Fu Jian raised his hand from the side: "Let me go."

The soldiers got an order to send Sima Yao out from the city gate to the team stationed below the city. The two sides exchanged gestures, and Sima Yao and Pei Ran came towards the opposite side at the same time.

At this moment, Pei Ran suddenly felt dizzy in front of his eyes and weak in the soles of his feet. He looked at Qin Bing in front of him and Sima Yao who was walking towards him.

He shook his head, blinked vigorously, shook his spirits, and continued to walk forward.

Unexpectedly, his weak legs slowed down his pace a lot. When the two passed by each other, Pei Ran hadn't walked a third of the distance of a hundred meters.

At this moment, Pei Ran's eyes dimmed, and she knelt down on the ground.

Fu Jian had a bird's-eye view of the city wall, and suddenly felt something was wrong, but it was already too late.
