She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

   Chapter 698 Opening the City Gate

  Mu Qing helped Princess Ningyang walk up the city wall.

  Zhong Amber pressed the little emperor to follow closely, and then the prime ministers and guards.

  The night wind roared, blowing the princess Ningyang's cloak into flight, and the hair bun that had been meticulously combed was also a little messy.

  Two military commanders hurried over to meet the princess of Ningyang and the little emperor.

  When the princess Ningyang was talking with the generals, Li Qiong secretly looked away.

  At this time, the city wall was in a mess. The archers were constantly drawing bows and shooting arrows. The catapult was also ready. The soldiers moved the stones and threw them towards the bottom of the city wall through the catapult.

  The trebuchet is a very effective tool against enemy siege.

  However, the night is dim, and after a certain distance, it is difficult for the trebuchet to hit the enemy.

  Moreover, moving stones is a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, and it cannot be as high as archery.

  So it is more used to intimidate the enemy and warn them not to approach.

  Li Qiong looked into the distance.

  In the dark night, nothing can be seen clearly.

  But he knew in his heart that half a million Xuan Jiawei was hung in the darkness.

  Once they come out, sooner or later this city wall will be breached.

   At the sign of Princess Ningyang, all the defenders of Tianjing City stopped attacking and quickly hung up the armistice flag.

  The night wind blew the white flag into a hunting noise.

  In order to allow Xuan Jiawei to see the armistice flag clearly, the general also asked the soldiers to gather the torches.

  With the blazing fire, the white flag is particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

  You can see it even if you are a dozen miles away.

  Bian Ziming, who was holding the shield and struggling forward, suddenly discovered that the enemy had stopped attacking. He was surprised and cautiously poking out a small half of his head from behind the shield.

  Across the dim night, he saw the white flag hanging on the wall.

  The word Armistice is written on the huge flag.

  The opponent is requesting a suspension of the war.

  The scout hiding in the dark also saw the armistice flag, and more than that, he also saw the princess Ningyang and the little emperor standing on the wall.

  The scout immediately turned around and ran back to the camp as quickly as possible.

  "Report! The enemy has raised the armistice flag and requested a truce!"

  The generals in the Xuanjia Army heard this, and they were unavoidable.

  It seems that the defenders of Tianjing City knew that it was difficult to win, so they took the initiative to hang the flag to show their weakness.

  They all looked at Li Liao, waiting for Li Liao’s decision.

  Li Liao asked for specific details.

  When the scout said that he still saw the princess Ningyang and the little emperor, Li Liao's expression immediately changed.

  He ordered: "Let General Bian temporarily retreat and see what the defenders of Tianjing City want to do? Report the results as soon as possible."

  "Here!"

  The scouts rushed back like enclaves.

   Above the city wall, everyone is nervously waiting for the result.

  Princess Ningyang prayed that Li Liao would show up quickly, so that nothing went wrong.

  Li Qiong was looking forward to Li Liao not to appear in her heart.

  As long as he does not appear, he still has the hope of coming back.

  At the critical moment when everyone was holding their breath and waiting nervously, suddenly I heard an exclamation from below.

"who is it?!"

   followed by a series of screams.

  Everyone was surprised.

Prime Minister Zuo hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

  A soldier with a wounded arm staggered and ran up the city wall, knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried.

  "Your Majesty and Princess, Xuan Jiawei’s work appeared in the city. They launched a sneak attack when we were not paying attention and killed several brothers!"

  Everyone present changed their faces.

  The general couldn’t help but yelled: “The group of **** are too despicable, and they even arranged a detailed work among us.”

  Princess Ningyang is indeed a person who has seen the world, and even at this moment, she can still maintain her composure.

  She asked in a deep voice: "How do you know that the person who attacked must be Xuan Jiawei's work?"

  The soldier was questioned for a moment, but could not answer for a long while.

  Li Qiong spoke quietly at this moment.

   "The people who attacked us at this time, who else besides Xuan Jiawei can have?"

  The two generals immediately agreed: "Your Majesty said it is extremely true!"

  Princess Ningyang was about to say something more, the soldier who had been kneeling on one knee suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and slammed it at her.

  The opponent's movements are too fast, and Princess Ningyang is too old to dodge.

  Mu Qing, the nearest to her, shot in time and grabbed the pawn's wrist.

  The pawn's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately turned his wrist.

  The sharp blade turned a corner, and made a bone-bearing wound on Mu Qing's arm.

  Mu Qing had to let go of her fingers because of the pain.

  The soldier stabbed the dagger at Princess Ningyang again, but he had already missed the best time to do it.

  At this time, everyone had come to their senses, and they took action. Zhong Amber and the prime ministers left and right protected the little emperor and princess Ningyang behind them, and the two generals rushed forward to stop the assassin disguised as a wounded soldier.

  The assassin was crushed on the ground, his hands tied behind his back.

  He raised his head with difficulty, grinning at Princess Ningyang, showing a grinning grin.

   "There is poison on the knife, and there is no doubt that poisoning will die!"

  After speaking, he bit through the poison sac hidden in the gap between the posterior molars.

  Very poisonous attack, he vomited blood on the spot, his body convulsed, but he lost his breath for a moment.

  Princess Ningyang looked at Mu Qing, who was covering the wound with her hand, and asked anxiously.

"How are you doing?"

   Mu Qing feels dizzy, and has no sensation on the entire right arm.

  She picked up her hand, looked at the wound on her arm, and found that the edge of the wound had become jet black, and the blood flowing out was also black.

  This is obviously a symptom of poisoning.

  She staggered and fell to the ground.

  Zhong Amber hurried to support her.

  Princess Ningyang anxiously said: "Hurry up and find the doctor!"

  Because of this sudden change, the atmosphere on the city wall has become more tense.

  Li Qiong: "Auntie, Xuan Jiawei’s Xizuo will kill you even, do you still have to protect them?"

  Princess Ningyang: "Don't talk nonsense, this matter is strange."

  She didn't believe Xuan Jiawei would kill her.

  Neither Li Ji nor Li Liao can kill her.

  However, at the next moment, I heard successive screams of killing from below the city wall.

  A military commander sent people down to check and learned that there was indeed a team of people in the city. Those people had killed a lot of soldiers guarding the city gate. It seemed that they wanted to open the city gate to let the enemy into the city.

  Li Qiong sneered: "Look, these meticulous works were sent by the Xuanjia Army. They just wanted to attack us by surprise."

  Princess Ningyang's face is extremely different.

  Li Qiong suddenly drew out the saber of the guard by his side, and pointed the tip of the sword at Princess Ningyang.

  "Don’t be fooled by her and Li Ji. They said so much before, in order to fool us into letting go of our guards, and then we will come together inside and outside to kill us all cleanly."

   Hua Dingzong exclaimed: "Don't mess around!"

  Li Qiong glared at him: "You traitor, there is no place for you to speak!"

   Then Li Qiong looked at the two prime ministers on the left and right, and continued to swim and talk.

   "You don't know what kind of character Li Ji is. He is a murderous lunatic. He really wants to be the emperor. Don't think about having a good life in the future!"

  Neither prime minister said anything.

  One thing, they really don’t have any hope for the character of the regent.

  Let such a vicious and cruel fellow sit on the throne, no one knows what will happen in the end?

  However, the half-million Xuanjia army was standing outside the city. If they resisted stubbornly, the outcome would be miserable.

  The two are in a dilemma.

  The scout hides in the dark and observes.

  He saw a scene on the city wall, immediately rushed back to the camp, and told the Zhen Guo-gong all the pictures he had seen.

  After listening, Li Liao's heart has sunk to the bottom.

  He asked: "You can see clearly, the little emperor really pointed the sword at the princess Ningyang?"

  The scout hurriedly said: "The humble job can see clearly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!"

  Li Liao sneered.

   "The little emperor is so brilliant, even his aunt dared to attack him!"

  Princess Ningyang is the mother of Princess Rouwan. Even if she is in the face of Princess Rouwan, Li Liao must not let Princess Ningyang be involved.

  More importantly, Princess Ningyang is one of the few people in the royal family who firmly defends Li Ji. She must live so that Li Ji's path to the throne can be smoother.

  In an instant, Li Liao had already made a decision.

  He must rush into the upper capital before the little emperor can kill the princess Ningyang!

  Li Liao immediately turned on his horse and gave an order.

"Set off!"

The horn was blown.

  A half-million black armor army came out.

  The black cloak merges with the black night.

  They are like huge monsters hiding in the dark, quietly showing their claws, and rushing toward the enemy fiercely.

  On the city wall, Li Liao is still trying to persuade the prime minister from left to right, without knowing that the danger is approaching.

  Until the sentry standing on the lookout suddenly screamed.

   "Xuan Jiawei! Xuan Jiawei is here!"

  Everyone was shocked, and all turned to look outside the city.

  They saw countless profound armored guards pouring toward them like a tide, and they felt a sense of oppression that the dark clouds would crush the city.

  The number of black armor guards is so large that it makes the scalp numb, but their actions are very regular, the array is neat, no one left the team, and they are obviously well-trained.

  A strong murderous air rushed toward his face.

  This scene deeply shocked the defenders on the wall.

  Although they guard the Tianjing city all the year round, in fact, most of them just stand guard and pretend to be. Many city gate guards may not be able to kill individuals throughout their lives.

  But the Xuanjia Army was different. They were killed from the sea of ​​blood on the corpse mountain. They were truly iron-blooded troops who were not afraid of death.

  The two armies faced each other, and the defenders of Tianjing City lost a lot of their momentum.

  Li Qiong, who was able to talk non-stop just now, had a pale face, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

  Hua Dingzong exclaimed in horror: "What should I do? What should I do now?"

The two prime ministers on the left and right were also a little panicked.

  Next, they saw a chariot in the middle of Xuanjiawei.

   Standing on the chariot was a man with a stiff figure, behind which was a big flag waving in the wind, and the word Xuan Jia was written on the flag.

  The night was dim, and Princess Ningyang hadn't fully seen the person's facial features, but her familiar figure had already recognized her.

   she exclaimed in surprise.

   "It's Zhen Guo Duke!"

  The prime ministers on the left and right immediately opened their eyes and looked carefully.

  Gradually, they all recognized, and the main commander standing on the chariot was the Lord Zhen Guo!

  It seems that what the regent said is true, and the Lord Zhen Guo is indeed not dead.

  The last hope in Li Qiong's heart was shattered,

  As if his body was drained, he swayed and fell to the ground.

  Princess Ningyang deliberately found a high place to stand, and she raised her hands in disregard of her image.

  Li Liao had been paying attention to the movement on the city wall.

  After he saw the actions of Princess Ningyang, he immediately ordered the suspension of the attack.

  Princess Ningyang immediately told the defending general.

  "Open the city gate, the palace must personally greet the Lord Zhen Guo!"

  The general looked at the two prime ministers.

  The prime minister on the left and right hurriedly said, "Go!"

  This is the end, and it is almost impossible for them to win this battle.

  In the end, you lose anyway. It's better to open the city gate and let the Xuanjia army enter the city. This can also reduce some casualties.

  Hua Dingzong took Mu Qing to the nearest hospital for treatment, while Princess Ningyang took the two prime ministers down the city wall, standing behind the city gate and waiting quietly.

  The soldiers turned the handle, and the chain was driven by the machine expansion, and the heavy city gate was slowly lowered.

  Princess Ningyang concentrates and holds her breath, ready to welcome the Xuanjia army at any time.

However.

  At the moment the city gate landed, one after another shouts suddenly came from behind him.

   "The rebels have entered the city! Run away, everyone!"

  Princess Ningyang gave a twitch in her heart and cried out badly.

  She quickly turned around and saw all the people in the city ran out.

  They were afraid that the enemy would rush in to burn, kill, and looting. They were all too scared. They couldn't even take their luggage. They all dragged their families to the gate of the city and flooded by the river.

  They want to escape before the enemy enters the city!

  Princess Ningyang shouted: "Stop them!"

  But it was too late.

  Just as the soldiers started to move, the panicked people had already ran to the gate of the city.

  The prime ministers left and right had to drag Princess Ningyang to hide to the side of the road.

  The people rushed out of the city gate like a tide.

  In the inn.

  The general reported to Aqi.

"The humble post has complied with your instructions to let the meticulous work placed in the defending army create chaos and assassinate the princess Ningyang. In addition, he ordered people to spread the rumor of the ruthless Xuanjia army in the city. Now the gate of the city is chaotic. Got up."

  Aqi: "Then let's go."

  He pulled up the hood of the cloak, the huge hood covered most of his face.

  Then he bends down again, gently lifts the long, and walks outwards steadily.

  He hugged Man Man and got into an inconspicuous carriage.

  The carriage drove towards the city gate.

  At this time, people around the city gate were all panicked, and there were many carriages and horses mixed in them.

  So when Aqi's carriage appeared, it did not attract the attention of others.

  The carriage was mixed in the crowd, slowly approaching the city gate.

  At this moment, Li Ji took the three-flower cat over a courtyard wall, landed on the ground, and came straight to the city gate.

  He saw the chaotic scene near the city gate, and knew that the people who stole Long Man must be among them.

  He used his inner strength to shout,

   "Close the gates!"
