Chapter 17: 17. Good night

Chapter 17 17. Good night

"Report to the Marshal, the refugees are flooding into the imperial capital. Now the people in the city know that the alien race is coming, and it’s too late to escape. General Deng and all the city lieutenants are sending people to maintain law and order. Some of the people Young and Zhuang also volunteered to help defend the city. General Deng's special affairs office has already distributed weapons."

It was still a light and windy voice: "I see, I will report it later."

"Yes, Marshal!"

Under the eaves.

It's dark.

Xia Ji took off his armor, leaned the magic halberd against the wall, hung the rosary on the branch of the snow, lit a candle, and sat on the small red sandalwood coffee table watching the snow waiting for Xia Xiaosu.

Before Xia Xiaosu came, another elite guard who was sending a message came from a distance carrying a lantern again.

"Report to the Marshal, the ghost army has appeared 30 miles outside the city, but there are still a lot of refugees. General Deng wants to close the city gate, but many people are questioning whether he wants to lock the remaining refugees in Outside the city, let them be sent to death. General Deng beheaded a dozen people before closing the city gate. However, there are still many refugees unable to enter the city, and those people have already begun to abuse them."

Xia Ji said: "I know, I'll report."

The elite guard hesitated and sighed: "Yes!"

In the snow, Xia Xiaosu carried the mahogany lunch box, knocked on the door, smiled and walked in as in the past two years, and sat across from his brother, then took out the mutton soup in the lunch box, and took out two more bottles. Fine wine.

The meal was very silent.

Halfway through.

There was a rush of footsteps hurriedly outside the door, accompanied by a "report~~~~"

In a few moments, another elite guard who was sending a message knelt in front of the door, "Enlighten the Marshal, the foreign race has begun to attack the city. General Deng has not discovered the frost giants, but these giants are good at hiding in the wind and snow, which is unpredictable!"

Xia Ji took a sip of the hot soup, and took the time to reply: "I know, I'll report it again."

The sound of fighting can be faintly heard in the distance, and the entire imperial city is boiling.

In the palace, some of the concubines began to burn incense and worship the Buddha, some were crying in the palace, and some wanted to escape but were escorted back by the dead men after crying and making trouble.

Xia Xiaosu drank the soup quietly. She raised her head and glanced at her elder brother by the candlelight. His elder brother was always so calm, even if the world was about to collapse, he was still like this. This peace made her heart calm.

"Report~~~"

"Encourage the marshal, the ghost side stopped attacking the city and set up camp twenty miles away, but a general of the opponent held a knife and invited to fight under the city. Five strong generals in the army went heads-up and were all beheaded. The other party laughed. Morale in the city was even lower, and General Deng ordered people to set up a brazier every 100 meters outside the city to illuminate their sights in order to prevent the frost giant from attacking."

"I know, report again."

"Marshal, General Deng asked when you would go to the city wall?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"why"

"Go down."

"Yes"

After the elite guards left, Xia Xiaosu said, "Brother, go tonight. Morale on the front line is low. If you show up, you will always cheer them up."

"Xiaosu, do you think your brother should go to defend the city?"

"Isn't this the reason my brother stayed?"

"Xiao Su, I ask you, if this city were to be defended now, what would happen to you and me?"

"Eh?"

Xia Xiaosu showed a bewildered look and began to think. She obviously hadn't thought about this issue.

Xia Ji was not prepared to wait for her answer, but while drinking, he said quietly: "The emperor will come back, I will go to the front line to sell my life, you will go to the Turkic marriage, everything we do, no one thinks it is important, no one thinks it is a big deal. The people, the soldiers, everyone felt that everyone had guarded the city together."

"Brother, is this bad?"

"not good!"

Xia Xiaosu:

"You think your brother is cruel or selfish, but I have never prepared to guard this city, nor do I prepare to save anyone, let the aliens kill, let them despair, let the blood flow into a sea, how could they be Know my importance?"

""

"My brother doesn't want fame and fortune, or other people's awe. What I want is just to use this city to change the lives of you and me. What do other people do with me?"

"Brother" Xia Xiaosu was horrified, but immediately thought that his brother was actually going to the front to be a mascot, let him brag, so she swallowed everything she wanted to argue with, and laughed. , "Anyway, I will stand by my brother."

Xia Ji gently glanced at the girl in front of him, holding her hair with both hands, the two of them touched their foreheads and pressed them together, and then he said, "Good night."

Xia Xiaosu had a thousand words but didn't say any more. Instead, he said softly, "Good night."

Its daybreak.

There was no sneak attack by the Frost Giants last night, obviously these giants have not arrived yet.

General Gui Fang Chikui continued to challenge outside the city riding a giant wolf.

This general also speaks the Central Plains language, shouting: "You are a big country, and there is no one that can fight? Waste, all are waste!"

He scolded mockingly, and the morale of the soldiers of the imperial capital's city guards slowly fell. After all, there were five heads brought by Chikui in the snow under the city.

These five heads are all powerful generals in the army

But all died in the hands of this Chikui last night.

at this time.

Chinese military account.

Deng Jue didn't sleep all night, he looked around, everything was silent.

Suddenly the tent opened, and the soldiers sent a message: "Lu Jiang, the head of the Lu family in the capital, is willing to go out of the city to kill Chikui."

Lu Jiang is a well-known great swordsman in the capital. He is famous for his purple electric sword. He once killed many big bandits and won a lot of fame in competitions.

When Deng Jue heard Lu Jiang’s name, he knew that this was a sign that people from the family of Jianghu were willing to help defend the city, so he got up with joy, hurriedly ran out, and shouted from a distance: "Patriarch Lu, come from afar, please ."

Fenxiang bathed and changed clothes, and then took a good night's sleep. At this time, Xia Ji not only regained her spirit, but also reached the peak of her whole person's state.

He was carrying the eighth demon halberd and riding a tall horse through the street. A thousand guards lined up behind him. Xia Xiaosu also rode a horse to accompany him. From time to time, he left his brother’s outfit. She felt strange in her heart. The elder brother of chanting Buddha is connected with this mighty figure.

There was the sound of beating the drums in front of the sky, and the drums were cut off within a few minutes, and then the entire wall fell silent again, and it was obvious that another general sent by a big merchant was beheaded.

From a distance, there was a loud laughter from the foreign race screaming, but Deng Jue just kept behind closed doors and stopped sending people to die. Nineteen of them died. Even the previous Patriarch Lu was dead. The Sword Master was obviously not used to the opponent's wolf-riding charge. Although his sword skills were superb, he lasted three rounds before being cut in half by Chi Kui.

When the ghost party broke the city earlier, he apparently also seized many siege weapons from the Shang Dynasty. At this time, he pulled out Tongguan’s catapult, arrayed, stoned, and threw in the distance.

Huhuhu!

Suddenly, the huge boulders broke through the air and flew over the city wall to the imperial capital.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Flowers exploded in the city, completely chaotic, and the people rushed into the city like a tide.

Suddenly, a huge rock fell to the street not far from Xia Ji.

And under the boulder, there was a little girl crying, she seemed to be lost with her relatives.

Seeing that the little girl was about to be smashed into meat, a black shadow suddenly passed by, and the guards suddenly found that the Seventh Highness was missing.

Xia Ji took the frightened little girl with her left hand and made a very fast movement.

Then he put the little girl down and touched her hair. A woman in the distance ran over and shouted "囡囡". The little girl heard a familiar voice, looked sideways, then cried out and ran over. , Plunged into the woman's arms.

The woman did not see the previous scene, but when she saw the terrifying and mighty figure, she was so scared that she hugged her daughter and left.

Xia Ji didn't care. He returned to the horse, and now it was not tragic enough, so he was not in a hurry to rush out of the city.

Xia Xiaosu smiled, brother, you only said yesterday that you wouldn't save anyone, but you saved one today. So, do men like duplicity?

However, her elder brother's stamina is really fast, but it's just fast but not very useful. Even if she is just an emperor, she knows that the most important thing on the battlefield is the strength when confronting each other.
