King Zhenbei has a favorite

The eyes are full of blood, there are enemies, and there are guards in the house.

His fingertips turned white and his heartbeat was out of order. Gu Ting stood in the innermost circle of everyone's protection, subconsciously hugged Huo Jie tightly, covered the child's eyes, and protected him tightly.

When the heart is particularly tense, the whole person seems to become numb. You can't smell or hear the sound. Even if others are around you, you will feel the sound is far away and in a trance. You have to use a lot of force to hear it.

Gu Ting heard Mr. Huo's angry voice: "My lord, don't panic, as long as there is a guard in the mansion, you don't need to worry about your life!"

Hearing Nanny Gui's gentle yet domineering words: "Young master, don't worry, as long as there is an old slave, he will protect the young master and prevent him from being hurt at all!"

Hearing Meng Zhen's unreasonable encouragement: "Don't be afraid, it's just a casual appointment. It's just a little too many people. It's no big deal. You can see that I can help!"

Hearing Dong Zhongcheng's firmness and persistence: "Don't worry, my lord! We Jiuyuan people are here, Jiuyuan City is here, and the Zhenbei Palace is here!"

It seemed that Wu Feng was the only one who didn't speak, but Gu Ting knew he was always there, because every time he turned his eyes slightly, he could see Chang Sui's familiar clothes...

His fingers touched his cheeks, which felt wet.

Gu Ting was stunned.

This seemed to be the first time since his rebirth...he cried.But he couldn't help it, it wasn't that he was afraid, and he wouldn't be afraid anymore.

"Brother Ting, is it sad?" Huo Jie seemed to have noticed his trembling, and patted his shoulder with his small hands, "It's okay, the first time I saw it was a little scary, but I'll be fine after I get used to it."

Gu Ting was stunned again.

Originally, I wanted to protect Huo Jie, but I didn't want children to be afraid of seeing too much blood, but I forgot that Huo Jie was born and raised here, and his growth process was different from ordinary children. He has seen cruel blood, and his heart is strong. Fear.

He will obediently let him cover his eyes, just cooperate with him and don't want him to worry.

No response was received, and no one could be seen, Huo Jie sighed a little bit, seemed a little worried, and patted Gu Ting on the shoulder again to comfort Gu Ting: "Brother stop, don't be afraid, my elder brother will be back."

Gu Ting slowly moved his hands over Huo Jie's eyes, and hugged the child tightly.

It wasn't until this time that Huo Jie's eyes began to fog up, and his voice became more cautious: "My elder brother is so smart and powerful, he will be fine, right?"

"Yes." Gu Ting took a deep breath, expressing his firmness with the strength of a hug, "He will be fine, and he will come back to see Brother Hsu soon."

Slowly, the lights of swords and swords gradually ceased, the sounds of shouting and shouting disappeared, and the field of vision returned to silence. Gu Ting knew that this catastrophe was over.But the robbery of Zhenbei Wangfu is over, what about the city gate?

No good news has been received so far, which means that the battle to defend the city is still going on.

Today's dangers seem to be irrelevant, the attackers are not of the same origin, it seems that there is no connection, but if you jump out, you will find that this battle is very extensive, and it may be a situation where the inside responds to the outside from the beginning to the end. No matter which side succeeds, the people of Jiuyuan City will be panic-stricken and morale will drop. As long as the enemy gives a little bit of strength, or does not need the enemy's power, no matter which side of the palace or the city gate shows a slight decline, it is possible After a thousand miles, being beaten to pieces by others...

Others want to complement each other and take advantage of the victory to pursue, why can't I do it on my side?

Gu Ting narrowed his eyes slightly.

In a bloody battle, all the men in black were punished, and those who did not die were taken down by the guards of the palace and questioned later; seeing that the crisis was over, the old butler slowly put away the weapons, commanded the subordinates to go around and clean up the scene Cleaning up the scene, counting the losses and counting the losses; Nanny Gui put away the soft sword with a smile, pulled Huo Jie towards the back house, and coaxed him to pick up his grandmother and sister.

It was quiet outside the courtyard.

Meng Zhen frowned and stared at the dead body on the ground, then ran around to Gu Ting's side: "What should we do next?"

"Naturally—" Gu Ting narrowed his eyes, with a sneer on his lips, "Hang these corpses on the top of the city!"

Meng Zhen patted his chest with his small hand: "Oh, you can't tell, Ah Ting is so violent!"

Dong Zhongcheng was next to him, and he understood after turning his head: "Shock?"

Gu Ting nodded slightly, looked into the distance, and stood up straight: "Wei Lie defended the city hard, so we have time to fight for victory, and now it's time to reward him."

He asked the old butler how many people he wanted, and quickly picked out a carload of corpses to put them on. He asked Zheng Shishi to hold down Meng Zhen who was about to move: "I don't know if the situation at the city gate is dangerous, I will go back as soon as I go, you just wait here obediently." Me," then turned to Dong Zhongcheng, "don't follow me, help the people to disperse, thank you for me, the danger of the palace has been resolved, but I don't know how the battle will be in the future, let everyone pay attention to your health, don't worry impulse……"

After quickly arranging the affairs in the mansion, Gu Ting walked towards the city gate with a cart of corpses.

When he arrived, he saw that Wei Lie had played very hard.

He was injured, and a bandage was tightly wrapped around his waist. Judging from the blood color, the injury should be serious, and there was blood color on his shoulder, but he didn't have time to apply the bandage. He stood at the highest point in the city, cursing He was full of anger: "Grandchildren! Hurry up, your father is almost asleep waiting for you to kowtow to the New Year! Didn't you agree to attack the city, why are you not as fast as meat worms crawling one by one!"

While scolding Zhan, he drew his bow and shot a cold arrow: "Oh, I'm sorry I missed it! Sigh, why are you so fleshy? You can't avoid it when you see it. You must not be my grandson!"

"Hey, what's the matter with you? Isn't it the leader of the team? Why is it not rigid at all, evasive like a mouse, where is your eldest girl getting on the sedan chair?"

"I dodged! Hahaha I didn't shoot your father! The grandson is the grandson. It's 800 years too early to want to hurt your grandpa!"

The arrogance is particularly arrogant.

Gu Ting suddenly understood why Huo Yan sent Wei Lie back to help.Wei Lie is a forward general, he is best at rushing in front of the formation, he may not be as good at defending as a general in the Chinese army, but the forward general has morale besides the courage to charge forward!His words, his person, and his spirit can easily affect the morale of the soldiers under him, and in the two battles before and after the city defense, what is most needed is morale!

Wei Lie may be out of character, maybe not so stable, but he can lead everyone to stand here, and his momentum will not retreat!

Gu Ting lifted his foot up to the tower, and before anyone arrived, his voice was already raised: "General Wei is playing alone, and he didn't call me, isn't he too stingy?"

Wei Lie turned his head and saw Gu Ting, his eyes lit up!

He has not received any news from the palace, but this is not right. He guessed that something must be wrong. In order not to affect his defense of the city, no one came to talk to him about anything. It's gone... He couldn't leave, but how could he not hear such a big commotion?How can you not worry?

He looked very relaxed, but in fact his fingertips were tense, thinking about how to quickly repel the besieging enemy and return to help immediately.Almost, he almost gave up here, the only rationality told him no, no!The philosophy and persistence of the Zhenbei Palace have never been their own, but the city and all the people in the city!

He persisted and struggled, how could he not be affected in the slightest?But when he was suffering, Gu Ting came.What does this mean?It means that even if there is a crisis in the palace, it will be resolved!No matter how he solved it, he didn't have time to ask carefully now, anyway, the result is a good thing!

"Hahaha--"

Wei Lie laughed out loud immediately, and the depression in his chest disappeared: "My fault! Tell me, how do you want to play? You can have a good time today!"

The enemy who attacked the city couldn't take it anymore: "You surnamed Wei are so shameless! Aren't you afraid to play yourself off? Open your eyes and look back. The Zhenbei Palace has been killed. Survived, the queen concubine who raised you died, the only remaining siblings of the Huo family died, and your loyal king of Zhenbei also died. What's the point of you fighting this battle? You obviously saved No one else, why have the face to stand here, why don't you commit suicide and apologize!"

Wei Lie was stunned for a moment and then understood, he saw Gu Ting and knew that things were going well, the palace was fine, but the enemy had been attacking the city without knowing it!

Gu Ting naturally recognized it, and smiled at Wei Lie: "Go and rest, I'll come!"

He beckoned and asked the guards in the mansion to bring up the carload of corpses, and hung them neatly on the top of the city—

"Your Excellency said, are they?"

The siege enemy troops all stopped, and their eyes almost popped out when they looked closely!The corpses are particularly miserable. Some are poisoned to death and bleeding from the seven orifices. Some have holes in their hands and feet or even incomplete bodies. The worst thing is the hanging posture. The ropes are not easy to tie around the waist, so all the ropes are tied around the neck. Like a dead man hanging himself!

Gu Ting stood at the top of the city, his eyes drooped, and he smiled: "Unfortunately, they are all dead."

He didn't have so much work today, he didn't take a bath and change into extravagant clothes, he didn't bring a small hand stove or a fluffy feather fan, but he just stood up on the tower, casually lowered his eyebrows and smiled, feeling like It was exactly the same as before scolding the enemy that day!

"The winter is long, and the days are inevitably boring. These people in black are considerate, and they come to play with us dressed like this in broad daylight. Our Zhenbei Palace is warm and hospitable, so it's not easy to push it away, but who knows that they are so capable. I don’t know anything but bragging, and I haven’t had enough fun yet, they all died one by one, what should I do?”

Gu Ting spread his hands pretendingly: "I originally said to give them to the princess as a gift, but they all turned out to be so ugly and hot-eyed. How can I get such a tasteful person? Why don't you—"

He suddenly punched his lips, and his eyes and voice became dark: "You all stay with them with your lives!"

The place was silent.

Including enemy camps.

There are too many black-clothed assassins, it is impossible for Gu Ting to hang them all, and there are not enough towers. He mainly put a few leaders who look very conspicuous, and their appearances are easy to remember. These people, the enemy camp The leader recognizes...

impossible!How can a foolproof plan fail?A bunch of trash, all trash!

"Stop the siege! Withdraw!"

The enemy army stopped attacking immediately, and retreated quickly and neatly.

Gu Ting felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong...

Wei Lie frowned even tighter: "I'm actually not afraid of their death."

Gu Ting immediately understood that the morale was all on the defensive side, and the opponent also knew that they would not be able to fight. Today, they will definitely lose in the deadly battle. They deliberately retreated across the board, just to let them have a feeling of blowing their fists into the cotton and venting their displeasure. : "If you dare to retreat bravely in the rapids, you must have great ambitions."

Retreating now does not mean leaving, the enemy will never leave, and will attack in the future!

"It's time to prepare for the next round of defending the city"

"It's okay, it's the same every time I come here, I guarantee that they will never come back!" Wei Lie shook his arms, grinning with white teeth, "Is the house all right?"

Gu Ting nodded: "Well, everything is fine, nothing happened."

Wei Lie was really relieved: "That's fine, you go back and guard it, don't come here, it's dirty and messy, I'll take a rest for a while, eat something, I don't know when others will attack the city and it's not easy to leave, Go back and coax the Empress Dowager, and reassure her that there is me on the other side, nothing will happen, but it may take a while, so please don't worry."

Gu Ting looked at the city worriedly: "Then be careful, these people look quite strong..."

"These should not be Beidi soldiers, at least most of them are not. I have been fighting for many years. I am very familiar with how many soldiers there are in Beidi. Now they are all entangled with the prince and it is impossible to separate them. They should be borrowed barbarian soldiers." Wei Lie grinned again and showed his white teeth. , "I know what's in my heart, don't worry."

Gu Ting was not familiar with the war, he only secretly scolded Beidi for being cunning, and had no other thoughts.

Back at the palace, the main courtyard has been cleaned up, but there are piles of corpses in other places, and the blood on the bluestone has not been washed off.

Meng Zhen leaned on the window of the Nuan Pavilion with his chin resting on his chin. When he saw Gu Ting came back, he didn't even go through the door in a hurry. He climbed out along the window and trotted all the way to Gu Ting: "How is it? Can the city gate withstand it? Is Wei Lie okay?"

Gu Ting patted his little friend's forehead: "It's cold outside, and I don't know how to wear a big coat. The situation at the city gate is not bad, and it can still withstand it. Wei Lie was injured a little, but it doesn't matter, the injury is not serious. It's just that although the enemy army Suspend the attack, I don’t know when it will come back, he can’t go away, so I asked me to announce everyone’s safety for him.”

"Oh, that's it..." Meng Zhen patted his chest with his small hands, feeling a lot more relieved, "It's good if you can carry it... No, since the enemy has stopped attacking the city, why are they making a comeback? Don't they leave? Don't need to go home Chinese New Year?"

Gu Ting: "I don't know, maybe their customs are different? Wei Lie said that Beidi's main force has been fighting Huo Yan... the time is too short, it is impossible to come here, this attack should be borrowed by barbarians."

Meng Zhen was startled: "Barbarian soldiers?"

Gu Ting thought for a while, and said: "I took a look at the city, and all of them are taller, stronger, not too thoughtful, reckless and straight, and indeed feel different from the old army who attacked the city last time."

Meng Zhen suddenly punched his palm: "I know!"

Gu Ting was a little surprised: "Know what?"

"No wonder my brother is so busy, no wonder I don't even have time to look after him, Zheng Shishi even reported to him that there was an enemy attack..." Meng Zhen broke out in a sweat, "The barbarians must divide their troops! The main force is attacking my aunt. One quietly came to Jiuyuan City through the cracks! So my brother left in such a hurry and had to go back to defend the city. The barbarians must have colluded with Beidi. Open your eyes and guard our Guzang, of course you don't have time to pay attention to Jiuyuan!"

Gu Ting narrowed his eyes gradually, and understood, no, probably more than that.

It seems that this time Beidi's situation is not as big as usual, and the time is not as long as usual. The secret work was released, the internal response united with the accomplices, and even deliberately showed weakness, and used a well-timed battle to transfer Huo Yan away, and even lured You Dachun over. To steal credit, the first major attack should be to split a small team, borrowing from the Zhang family army in the cloud, to attack Jiuyuan City without everyone knowing.He still remembers the scene at that time, Huo Yan had just left not long ago, fighting with the main forces of Beidi Central Committee on the border, and didn't know anything about Jiuyuan, the enemy army came quickly and urgently, and the words were very nice, "Please suppress the Wang family in Beidi The purpose is not to capture Jiuyuan City, but to take Huo Yan's family away. If he hadn't reacted quickly and Huo Yan sent Wei Lie back in time, the battle would not have passed easily.

This time too, they used the weapons left behind by the deceased Uncle Huo to make a fuss, transferred Huo Yan from afar and set up a killing array. They only need to release the false news that the king of Zhenbei is dead in advance, and Jiuyuan City will win the hearts of the people unstable.At the same time, the barbarian army was used to hold back Guzang, so that Meng Ce had no time to pay attention to Jiuyuan, and borrowed a small barbarian team to attack Jiuyuan City... In this way, even if Huo Yan survived, so what if he found out that he had been tricked ?He was too far away to come back; so what if Meng Ce, the king of Guzang, found out, no matter how dangerous Jiuyuan is, it is not because his own territory is so lazy to care about so much, if he has spare power, he can help, but Guzang is also under attack now, of course he must Protect yourself first!

Beidi's plan is to make everyone inseparable, making Jiuyuan a lonely city, and death is inevitable!

And even if Huo Yan survived by luck, Jiuyuan City was defeated, and the people in Zhenbei Palace were gone, even if Huo Yan survived, why should he be afraid?

so cruel...

No wonder this battle was fought so hard in my previous life.

Gu Ting didn't know what Huo Yan was doing now, he just begged him to be the same as in his previous life, and not to fall down so easily!I can guess so much, you must be able to think of more, I don't ask you to do more, win more beautiful, I just ask you to live well, Quan Xu Quanwei come back to see me!

As for the present, once the plan has started, it will not be stopped casually. Now that the barbarians have come, they will not leave easily. Unless the situation changes and the danger of Jiuyuan is not resolved, the next battle of defending the city may be even more difficult.

Gu Ting settles down Meng Zhen, and goes to see the Grand Concubine.The concubine's illness is not completely cured. After taking the soup and medicine for a few days, she finally feels better. She is not so tired and can talk for a while. After Gu Ting said goodbye, she thought for a while without hiding it The current situation was informed, and various preparations were discussed in detail.

The next battle of defending the city was very hard. The barbarians were stubborn, and they would not retreat after so many people died. They had to attack twice a day. Wei Lie fought with at least this intensity every time he fought on the border. He didn't feel tired, and his morale was also high. They are strong enough, but the soldiers at the top of the city are still getting more and more tired every day, and there are more and more wounded soldiers every day.

Everyone is insisting on it. The short rest time is cruel. Some soldiers are struggling to survive. When the rotation person arrives, they will sleep with their eyes closed and their heads tilted. They are carried down the tower.The city wall is white and red, all of which are ice, the white is snow frost, and the red is ice made of blood. In this weather, no matter how hot the blood is, the enemy's or your own, it will cool down in a while. Cold and brutal.

People’s injuries are not easy to heal. In cold weather, wounds will not suppurate, but they will freeze. If you don’t take good care of them, your injuries may worsen. Whether you fall asleep or faint, you will have problems if you don’t pay attention to keeping warm. It’s not unreasonable to freeze to death. possible.The place at the city gate is not wide enough to set up too many tents. Soldiers who are close to their homes go home directly, and those who are far away from home... The people in the surrounding shops generously lent their own space to accommodate tired and sick soldiers, and have wives. The son's daughter-in-law ran around to take care of them, and the old lady was worried. There was really no one at home, so the common people rolled up their sleeves to help take care of them.

Dong Zhongcheng didn't bother to form a team to help with the defense anymore. He opened up his own medicinal material warehouse and dispatched time after time to find out where the medicinal materials were not enough and which medicinal materials needed a large amount.His Yue's family, Liu's family in Jiuyuan City, encountered difficulties every time. This time, they paid money, food and people, and tried to make everyone busy and have no time, but also to pour a bowl of hot, thick soup. , fragrant and sweet porridge.

In this city, all the people are not resting, they are busy in their own ways, no matter how hard and tired they are, their eyes are shining brightly, that is not giving up and despair, but perseverance and hope.

In the distance that no one can see, on the west side, Meng Ce killed the last batch of barbarian soldiers, and swung his saber: "It's finally over."

After wiping his face casually and changing his clothes, he picked up the saber again and walked to the horse.

The personal guard Zheng Shi was stunned: "My lord doesn't rest...where are we going?"

Meng Ce squinted at him: "What do you think?"

"But the war has just ended, and there are casualties and bandits fleeing outside..."

"The tens of thousands of troops have not been able to kill me, what can a few thieves on the run do to me?"

It was impossible for Meng Ce to listen to the persuasion. He clamped his legs and rode Juechen. Sure enough, before he had gone far, he saw a savage standing up unsteadily from the pile of dead people, wanting to take the opportunity to assassinate him.

"Go away! I have no time to play with you when I take my younger brother home for the New Year!"

King Guzang tilted his hand and cut the saber across, the opponent's head was separated, and the blood flowed far away.

Zheng Shi didn't dare to look at him, so he immediately got on his hands, got on his horse and chased after his master.

On the high slope to the north of the Xiadi border, someone rushed out from the ten thousand-zhang mountain forest, with burning eyes and unparalleled momentum, and went straight to Jiuyuan City.

Gu Ting, wait for me!
