After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

He had already seen the disadvantages of digging a moat, so how could he make the soldiers in Liangcheng believe that Qin Zehai was plotting a rebellion?

"Get out of here!" A violent male voice came from the crowd. Liu Luyan turned around and saw Qin Zehai pushing away the gathered soldiers with a dark face and rushing to the city wall.

Liu Luyan stepped back a few steps without saying a word, only to see Qin Zehai, furious, picking up the bow and arrow, putting the arrow on it, and aiming at the horn. However, his first step - drawing the bow - failed.

The arrow fell off the bow crookedly, and Qin Zehai became even angrier. He swung his bow at the Wu soldier closest to him, and said in a rage: "What are you standing there for! Shoot that... that evil concubine who is deceiving the people with her lies to kill them!"

The soldier held the bow and looked at him carefully without moving.

Qin Zehai looked around, and everyone was staring at him with strange eyes.

Nian Susu's voice was as loud as a bell, shaking everyone's heart, including Qin Zehai's. He was already guilty, and when he saw that none of the soldiers listened to him, he thought they believed Nian Susu's words and suddenly panicked.

"you……"

"What a bullshit Crown Princess! She's talking nonsense! The Crown Prince is the one who is plotting a rebellion! Don't be fooled by her!"

They still looked at Qin Zehai in fear.

Qin Zehai's eyes widened with anger: "Whoever shoots Nian Susu to death will be rewarded handsomely!"

After leaving these words behind, Qin Zehai shook his sleeves and left.

Liu Luyan hid in the crowd and gave a smug smile.

Nian Susu had been shouting outside the city for half an hour, but there was no movement in the city. Only more and more people could be seen watching on the city wall.

She sighed and jumped out of the car.

Qin Junyu caught her steadily. Seeing that she looked worried, he smiled and touched her head. "Take your time. Today is only the first day."

She nodded. Although she had expected this, she still felt sad when the moment really came.

She has already paid a lot, but has seen no reward, which would make anyone feel discouraged.

However, Nian Susu was not discouraged. After returning to the camp, she would take good care of her voice and fight again tomorrow!

The loudspeaker cart was pushed away, and the densely packed crowd on the city wall gradually dwindled. As the topic was sensitive, none of them dared to discuss it openly, but in fact everyone had their own thoughts in their minds.

Liu Luyan went to Qin Zehai and expressed his loyalty sincerely, then appeased the troops, and the burden of dispelling the rumors fell on his shoulders as he wished.

Liu Luyan was extremely perfunctory. Not only did he not help Qin Zehai to dispel the rumors, he also ordered people to secretly stir up trouble to confirm the accusation that Qin Zehai was treasonous and collaborating with the enemy.

Qin Zehai, who was hiding in the palace, had no idea what was happening outside. Liangcheng was already in chaos, and he was hiding in the palace, refusing to see anyone.

It is easier for Liu Luyan to spread rumors...

-

General Xiao, covered in blood, strode back to the tent. Chen Yong and Chen Hu wiped their faces, which were covered in blood, and barely saw the road ahead and followed him.

General Xiao met with the three staff officers without even having time to take off his armor.

Six people sat in the tent, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Staff Officer Yang pinched his brows and said, "Although this battle ended in a draw, both sides suffered heavy losses. We were not at an advantage in numbers to begin with, and after six or seven rounds of fighting with the Northern Wei, we were reduced from 20,000 to only 6,000..." He sighed, "But the other side still has 20,000..."

It is certainly possible to defeat a larger force with a smaller one, but the soldiers are exhausted and have to go to the battlefield with almost no rest for three days. How can they defeat a larger force with a smaller one?

Staff Officer Shen wrote and drew, worked out a result, and looked up and said, "According to this situation, we can only hold out for another seven days at best, and the Northern Wei will break into the city."

Chen Yong punched the table, "crack" the wooden table broke into two pieces. He didn't care at all, waved his hand to knock the two halves of the wood away, and said angrily: "The worst that can happen is death! I'm not afraid of death!"

Chen Hu also said: "It is not a pity to die on the battlefield!"

General Xiao raised his head and said, "No, we can't die."

The two were stunned and turned to look at General Xiao in confusion. They knew very well that Brother Xiao was not a coward.

General Xiao's dim eyes were filled with determination. He clenched his fists and said resolutely, "We cannot die. We must try our best to buy a few more days for His Highness."

As long as Liangcheng is captured and Qin Zehai's troops are used for their own purposes, the remnants of the Northern Wei will no longer be a threat.

Staff Officer Ling stared at a certain spot, as if thinking about something: "Liuli relies on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Liangcheng.

Qin Zehai was tired after a day of work and returned to his room to have a good sleep. However, just as he closed the door, someone pulled his collar back hard.

He didn't react and fell backwards, but he didn't fall down. Instead, he was hit in the face.

Qin Zehai was pressed down on the desk and punched in the face and chest again and again.

"what--"

“Come… someone come——”

Screams echoed through the sky.

Dongfang Xuying was furious, gnashing her teeth and saying, "If you scream again, I'll cut your throat!"

Qin Zehai really believed that he was capable of doing such a thing, so he did not dare to shout and silently endured the beating.

Dongfang Xuying was tired of fighting, so he picked up the man by the collar and threw him to the ground. With a wave of his arm, everything on the desk was cleared away in an instant. He lay on his side, propped up his head with his hand, and looked at Qin Zehai leisurely: "I want to leave, I want to go back to the Northern Wei camp."

Qin Zehai covered his chest with his hands, his face was bruised and swollen, and he twitched his mouth. He was in so much pain that he dared not speak with force. "Major General, it's not that I don't want to let you go, but there are Qin Junyu's spies everywhere. If you leave Liangcheng now, you will definitely be caught by them."

"Hiss..." He touched the corner of his mouth lightly and felt a wound on the corner, otherwise it would not be so painful.

Having been beaten for no reason, he was now filled with rage and had no place to vent it. Facing Dongfang Xuying's threats and orders, he could only keep a low profile because he could not beat Dongfang Xuying.

"I'm also concerned about your safety." Qin Zehai said earnestly.

Dongfang Xuying snorted coldly, "You Liuli, a bunch of useless rubbish, want to catch me? Impossible!"

Qin Zehai said disdainfully: You'll be well behaved once you're really caught.

He smiled and said, "You will definitely win in a one-on-one fight, but you may not be able to escape in a group."

Qin Zehai was mainly afraid that if Dongfang Xuying fell into Qin Junyu's hands and said something he shouldn't have said, Qin Junyu would then hold him hostage.

He will never allow this to happen!

Dongfang Xuying pondered for a moment and thought it made sense.

"Then send someone to protect me and let me leave."

He has been trapped in Liangcheng for more than half a month. The news is blocked and the situation in Qingshan City is unknown. He is extremely anxious and afraid that Nangong Haoya will misunderstand that he has surrendered to the enemy by not returning for so long.

Qin Zehai:?

He sent someone to escort a Northern Wei person away. Didn't that clearly tell others that he had some shameful deal with the Northern Wei?
