Chapter 457 (1/2)
Since the northern desert soldiers attacked Dayan, Xie Heng and a group of young generals have fought hard at the border. Coupled with the riots of the victims in beizhou, the whole country has been in a panic. In the past, those who had a thief's heart but did not have the courage to take advantage of the chaos and occupy land as the king, so that all parts of the country The banditry continued and there was chaos.
Most of the courtiers were civil servants, and few generals were able to handle affairs. Commander Huang Yuwei, the most trusted leader of the old emperor, lost half his life on the roof sacrifice last time and still can't get out of bed.
There are not many soldiers in the imperial capital. In addition, most of them are mediocre people who eat and die. No one dares to stand up at this time, and the whole palace is gloomy.
After entering the palace, the eldest princess asked to guard the city, properly arranged a group of people without backbone, and ordered all the officers and men to guard the gates of the emperor's capital.
When Wenjiu arrived at the east gate, Zhao Jingyi had led her soldiers to fight hard for two hours.
She couldn't find where the eldest princess was, but she heard her shouting, ”kill me! Today, the emperor's capital is guarded, and the palace will let each of you marry a daughter-in-law!”
”Kill!”
The soldiers roared in response. In the dark night, the sound could shake the sky.
The light of fire dazzled the people of the city wall. Arrows were shot from outside the city. Arrows fell from the soldiers guarding the city. In the sound of fighting, swords flew and blood stained the city wall.
Warm wine flew to her. As soon as she looked up, she saw the eldest princess wielding her sword to kill the rebels who climbed the wall. The fire red Zhao Jingyi's face.
In the past, he was charming and charming. Today, he cuts the enemy with armor and is better than a man.
Outside the gate, there was a loud cry of killing. After a while, the arrows kept falling. Wen Jiu turned over and dismounted, bowed his head and walked close to the wall.
Qinger and others protected her, chopping and flying arrows from time to time, and catching the fallen guard.
”Princess!”
After Wenjiu climbed up the wall, he kept bowing and trotting. The soldiers guarding the city ignored her and tried to kill the rebels who climbed up the wall.
The fire turned everyone's face red. Zhao Jingyi stabbed the rebels in the heart with a sword, raised her foot and kicked them off the wall. When she looked back at the warm wine, her face was stained with blood.
The eldest princess was very surprised. ”Didn't you stay in the house and don't come out? Why did you come out again!”
Just as Wen Jiu was about to speak, more than a dozen rebels climbed up beside Zhao Jingyi. One of them raised his knife and cut at her. The fire was reflected on the man's blade, and Leng mang crossed Wen Jiu's eyes.
She hurriedly reminded, ”princess, be careful!”
Zhao Jingyi turned back, cut off the rebel with a sword, frowned through the soldiers, took Wen Jiu's hand, dragged the man to the side, and said in a harsh voice, ”aren't you afraid of death at ordinary times? What are you doing here?”
Wen Jiu raised his hand, wiped the blood on the princess's face and whispered, ”isn't the princess the best at chasing good luck and avoiding disaster? How did she come here and die?”
The arrow feather flew over their heads. A group of soldiers fell on their side, and someone made up for it.
Zhao Jingyi looked into Wen Jiu's eyes. A moment later, she suddenly smiled, ”this palace is a princess. The imperial capital is broken. Where is my heavenly majesty?”
Wen Jiu frowned and said, ”what if this war endangers the princess's life? ”
On the contrary, Zhao Jingyi smiled more and more fearless. ”People always die. It's better to fight for your king and father than to die in indulgence.”
The eldest princess said, raised her long sword, wiped the scarlet blood on her sleeve and said to her, ”you are different from this palace. It's no use dying here.”
