The rainy season is coming, and the air is damp and cold to the bone.

Yuecheng was shrouded in drizzle and haze, dark wooden beams, green bricks and gray tiles, the huge mansion was gloomy and gloomy, the eaves dripped, and it was deserted. In the hall, there was only one haggard man in plain clothes and disheveled hair drinking quietly. Made the spirit of the dead.

Jiang Mian looked sad and chatted with the two spirit tablets, as if recalling, and occasionally told jokes back then, crying and laughing.

Wow~

The wine jar was thrown outside the door and shattered, and the wine mixed with rainwater gathered in puddles.

"Good brother... I'm sorry, brother..."

The sound of whimpering and crying echoed in the dark courtyard of the tall mansion, Jiang Mian was the only one in the courtyard, and the water dripping from the eaves of the simple gray tiles fell into the water tank below, and the ding-dong sound was crisp.

Yuecheng was besieged, and after several days of rescue and heavy losses, Jiangbei Bank no longer made unnecessary sacrifices. At the same time, various contradictions that had developed too fast and had long-standing disadvantages became more prominent. Most of the generals expressed deep regret and advocated abandoning King Jiang and returning to Yandi. A small number of generals who had followed Jiang Mian for a long time refused to leave, and quarrels began among the chief generals.

The rainy season may only end in three or four months. The Chiman people on the other side of the river don't seem to care about the rain at all, and they hold on to the river bank to besiege Yuecheng. What's worse is that the river is rising and the current is too fast. The river will also be blocked in the mountains by the Chiman people who are better at fighting in the mountains.

Especially the Chiman people's tricky and vicious arrows are hard to guard against. They live in a place full of miasma in the mountains, and with poor arrows they cannot hit their prey and cannot survive.

Even the monsters in the barren mountains in the south don’t like that piece of land. Compared with it, the southern barren land in the southwest of the Central Plains is more like a paradise. One side supports the other side with water and soil, and the environment shapes the race. Suicide, it is difficult to resist these lunatics without sufficient preparation, not to mention crossing the river.

Speculators are unwilling to deal with a prince who may be killed at any time, and the worst is to choose another one.

The generals who had followed Jiang Mian in the war at the beginning took the risk of leading his troops across the river. Jiang Mian led his troops to cooperate with his own internal and external cooperation, but he still lost to the Chi Man people. He watched the two old brothers with their heads separated. Forcing back to Yuecheng, there is no rush to attack the city.

There are countless corpses in the turbulent river...

The scene of the tragic death of the two old brothers continued to stimulate Jiang Mian, and after a few days, he lost his weight back to the strong little general he used to be.

Looking at the noise on the other side to set up another hill, the head of the brother who died tragically is still hanging on the bamboo pole on the beach. Looking back on what the old brother did in the past few years, I feel regretful.

Outside the door, Pan Hongzu leaned against the doorpost with his sword in his arms and closed his eyes to rest, while Chen Jia was chanting scriptures in the side room.

As footsteps approached, Pan Hongzu opened his eyes and took a look to continue practicing sword intent. The person who came was Qiao Jin, the daughter of Qiao Sheng, the guard of Yuecheng.

Maybe it was because they came here often, but the two disciples didn't say a word.

Qiao Jin walked to the door and frowned and passed through the other side of the door. The martial arts was blocked and her senses were still there. If she got too close to the mysterious Taoist priest, she would feel a needle prick, as if the Taoist priest was a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath, and she instinctively avoided and walked around. ...

"Hmph! Running dogs!"

After cursing before entering the inner courtyard, Chen Jia, who was chanting sutras, looked up and found no outsiders.

"Pan Daoyou, she scolded us?"

Pan Hongzu raised his eyelids and looked at Chenjia sympathetically,

His eyes seemed to be looking at a fool, and before Chen Jia ran away, he finally said two words lazily.

"That's right."

"He is really an unreasonable person." I don't know if he is talking about Qiao Jin or his old enemy.

Zixu Jianxiu still closed his eyes and rested his mind, being scolded would not arouse murderous intentions, but if he scolded too many times and violated taboos, the consequences would be uncertain, there is a limit to everything.

Qiao Jin came to the hall with two jars of shochu, and stared at Jiang Wang who was drinking in the rain with a sneer.

Putting down the wine jar, his eyes were suddenly attracted by Jiang Wang's sword beside the wooden table. His martial arts were sealed, but killing people with a sword is not a big problem, not to mention that the opponent is still a drunk, or... take the opportunity to kill this hateful intruder?

Sudden! Qiao Jin felt like falling into an ice cave!

Looking up at the door, she didn't know if it was an illusion. She saw the sword trembling slightly inexplicably in the arms of the mysterious Taoist who was leaning on the doorpost. When she looked away from the sword, the feeling of being like a light on her back disappeared. She knew in her heart , There is no possibility of a successful assassination at all.

Jiang Mian looked up to see Qiao Jin, with a wry smile on his face.

"You came……"

"This is my home, I should be the one asking you."

Qiao Jin said coldly that she didn't care about her status as a prisoner at all. Now King Jiang and the 20,000 Yan troops are no different from prisoners. There is no food inside and no reinforcements outside. The consequences will not be any better than Qiao Jin's father and daughter.

Hearing the name of family, Jiang Mian suddenly remembered the old house in the small town. At that time, he could eat hot meals cooked by his wife every day when he went home...

Since there are many women in the backyard, I haven't eaten the meals cooked by my wife. Years ago, I couldn't eat the New Year's Eve dinner with my wife because of several concubines.

Every time she goes out to fight, she will stand in the corner and look at herself from afar...

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, if he can go back, he must treat his wife well, if he can go back.

"The people in the city are good."

"Very bad, someone will starve to death in a few days, King Jiang, surrender, at least consider a way out for your 20,000 loyal subordinates."

Hearing this, Jiang Mian, who was originally depressed, laughed so hard that tears flowed down his face.

"Hahaha...the way to survive...haha! Impossible! Wu Guo used Yuecheng as bait to kill me at all costs! There is not a single nobleman in the whole city, only ordinary people! How many days can we live without food?"

Qiao Jin naturally didn't believe it, how could so many people in Yuecheng be treated as victims.

"It's full of nonsense, as long as you are willing to surrender, you will be able to send food and grass. It is because you are greedy for life and afraid of death and do not want to give up your glory and wealth."

Jiang Wang laughed louder and even coughed.

"Haha cough cough... Go and have a look! Go up the city wall and see for yourself whether there are Wu troops outside the besieged city! Those are Chiman soldiers! As long as you open the city gate and surrender, Yuecheng will immediately become a purgatory on earth!"

"I..." Qiao Jin's face turned pale.

Chiman was brutal and bloodthirsty by nature, and there were many records of slaughtering captives and cities. In the former Tang Dynasty, the people of Chiman, who were beaten by the prosperous power of the Tang Dynasty, did not dare to go north. Later, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and ready to move, they made many murders in the south, especially the people of Wu. She is most afraid of Chiman people. Qiao Jin knows that there are all Chiman people outside, but she finds reasons for herself to ignore it on purpose, but Jiang Wang's words ruthlessly expose the reality.

In fact, there are really no and impossible Wu army soldiers outside, all of them are from Chiman. The state of Wu has abandoned Yuecheng and everyone in the city. Qiao Sheng and Qiao Jin are just abandoned sons.

"I and the 20,000 Yan Army are protecting the people of Yuecheng. If the city is destroyed, none of us will survive."

Qiao Jin wanted to refute but was speechless. She knew in her heart that what Jiang Wang said was true, but she still couldn't accept it...

Leaving the hall and walking out in a daze, going out into the inner courtyard and looking up at the sky, seeing billowing dark clouds, cold rain hitting the face and cooling into the heart, leaving the house in a daze.

When he reached the gate of the inner courtyard, King Jiang shouted.

"Pan Daoyou, unblock her, we need her to defend the city together."

Pan Hongzu glanced at Qiao Jin, who seemed to have lost his soul, and waved his hand, and the ban on Qiao Jin was lifted.

Chen Jia looked up.

"Fortunately, I didn't scold anyone."
