Chapter 2 The Law of Breaking the City
Hanwangfu has been stationed outside Xiangcheng for more than a month. After besieging Xiangcheng, there have been more than a dozen wars, both sides have suffered casualties and are still deadlocked. There are few people left in Xiangcheng. After Qin Chen took over Xiangcheng, the surrounding walls have been rebuilt, which is much higher than a few years ago and more reliable. Broken, the advantage of the terrain is comparable to the Jiahe Pass guarded by white and blue.
Xiangcheng has been the imperial capital for hundreds of years. At the foot of the world, it is the most prosperous. However, after several months of war, the prosperity of Xiangcheng has plummeted and has long been as before. One-third of the rich businessmen and powerful, and most of the people have packed their burdens before they heard that the iron horses of the cold palace were fighting all the way under the city. , using all kinds of methods to quietly withdraw from Xiangcheng and go to the surrounding cities that have been taken down by the Hanwangfu. This move is tantamount to treason, but at this time, Zhongcheng's court is already frightened and overwhelmed. How can they have the energy to take care of them? Those rich businessmen and powerful people also sneaked before the gate is closed. Get out.
In the past few months, they have seen that the cold iron army is like a divine soldier falling from the sky and is invincible all the way. They knew early on that Qin Chen's general trend has gone. If Qin Chen can't win, it may not be buried with the people in a city. Qin Chen's people, since he killed his brother and took the throne, has given the image of the world vicious and is by no means good. Therefore, it is safer for them to escape to the jurisdiction of the Hanwang Mansion.
After all, the reputation of the Hanwang Mansion in the world has risen sharply in the past few months. In the cities seized by the Hanwang Mansion, the people of the former Zhongcheng still live and work in peace and maintain their original lives. There have been no slaughter or burning and looting incidents after the loss of the city in history. On the contrary, because of the strength of the Han Iron Army, People feel more secure and live a more stable life.
In the months when Bailan disappeared, a large number of civil and military officials and sergeants from Kanto and other parts of the Hanwang Mansion came one after another to take over the political affairs and defense of the 32 cities. Although they took over more than 30 cities in just three months, Wen Qinghan did not see any chaos at all, all of which made Bai Lan more friendly to Wen Qinghan. Looking at it with new eyes, because most of those civil and military officials are not known by Bai Lan, Wen Qinghan has been hiding such a strong strength. She has been married to him for nearly three years and has never found that he has such a deep ability.
Those civil servants are all from Confucianism. Needless to say, she knows this, but those military generals are not from the Cold Iron Army, and according to Molan, the momentum of those military generals is obviously honed on the battlefield of life and death, no less than the Cold Iron Army. Although it is somewhat inferior to ghosts, but But it is not difficult to see that those people are as good as masters and murderous, but like killers in the world.
According to Molan, Bailan immediately understands that this group of armed forces come from the world. In today's world, the organization that can have such a powerful killer force, except for the Mohong Mansion, it is the ruthless palace and the always mysterious dark pavilion. The ruthless palace has been confirmed to be related to Qin Chen, and the Mohong Mansion is white and blue, so the rest There is only the "dark pavilion".
Thinking this way, there is no need for her to ask Wen Qinghan. Everyone has their own privacy, and even the closest person may not be able to participate. He has his secret power. She also has the secret power of Mohong Mansion. If the owner of the "Dark Pavilion" is Wen Qinghan, then she should be happy. That's right, at least, the dark pavilion, a force that is not weaker than Mohong Mansion, is not in the hands of the enemy and will not cooperate to the Hanwang Mansion.
On the tower of Xiangcheng, there were rows of defenders standing around them. They stood motionless like a sculpture, but many of them had a trace of fear in their eyes, because the man in front of the wall in the middle of the tower gave them too terrible pressure.
A bright yellow figure stood in the wind. Behind him stood the left guardian of the ruthless palace after fleeing from Los Angeles, and the enchanting woman who had poisoned the white and blue.
The three were looking at the large cold iron army camp in the distance. Even if they were so far away, they still felt the changes in the barracks.
"Master, according to the detective, Meng Hongxi returned to the cold iron army three days ago." Wufeng's voice was respectful. When he mentioned the three words Meng Hongxi, he couldn't help gritting his teeth. He folded his teeth in her hand twice, which can be said to be physically and mentally damaged. It was really impossible not to resent her.
"I know! When she comes back, the battle will be even more difficult! Are you sure it was Ye Qingfeng's hand on her? Qin Chen's cold voice made the two people behind him chill after hearing it.
"It has been determined that it was Ye Qingfeng's hand and was robbed by Shang'an on the North Island halfway. When she came back from the North Island through Northern Qi, Ye Qingfeng and Wu Zixing intercepted her together, but they were rescued by the five masters of the senior officials of Mohong Building. Master, it seems that Meng Hongxi has a close relationship with Mohong Building." Wu Mei turned her head and looked at Qin Chen's side face in a daze. There was a deep infatuation in her beautiful eyes, and her enchanting temperament was also hidden a lot at this time. Obviously, she also restrained a lot in front of Qin Chen.
"Hmm, it's more than a close relationship! Judging from her deep hiding and her hatred with my ruthless palace, she is undoubtedly the mysterious owner of Mohong Mansion. Qin Chen snorted coldly.
"If so, master, we must give up Xiangcheng and withdraw as soon as possible. After these years of open and secret struggles, there are countless elites in the palace that have been folded in the hands of Mohong Mansion. Today, there are ghosts in the hands of the Hanwang Mansion, and there are also Mohong Mansions in the hands of Meng Hongxi, which are unmatched! For the safety of our master, let's withdraw. Wumei softly advised, full of worry, the horror of Mohong Mansion. She has seen it. If the cold princess is sure that she is the owner of Mohong Mansion, then they have almost no chance of winning this battle.
"What to withdraw! I haven't lost yet! If you are afraid of death, you two should withdraw! Even if the battle reaches one soldier, I will take Meng Hongxi and Wen Qinghan to be buried with me!" Qin Chen said in a low voice that he did not recognize the word defeat in his dictionary.
Wu Mei and Wu Feng looked at each other speechlessly. It seemed that they could not persuade them. They had to stick to the end. Seeing that Qin Chen's face was gloomy, they did not dare to make a sound again.
It was the night. In the main account in the middle of the cold iron army camp, Bai Lan sat under the candlelight in front of the desk reading a book, waiting for Wen Qinghan to come back. Now she stays in the account all day. Because she first felt the fetal movement and felt a little discomfort, Wen Qinghan did not let her walk around. He was also busy training soldiers and horses all day long. During the day, Xiao Anzhi came to play chess with her and talked about the world, but she would not feel bored.
Listening to the footsteps approaching from afar, she put down her book and looked up at the door of the military account. Wen Qing came in coldly.
"Why haven't you slept yet? You can't stay up late! You don't have to wait for me anymore. It's not good for your health. Seeing her sitting quietly under the lamp, he took off his black robe, came over and sat down to circle her from behind in his arms, and said softly.
"Light cold, Xiangcheng can't be attacked for a long time. If you drag it like this, it will not be deadlocked, which will also increase casualties. I'm waiting for you because I have thought of the way to break the city. Can you listen to my method?" Bai Lan broke free from his hand and turned to face him, with a smile in his eyes and looked at him brightly.
"Of course you have to listen! Ha ha, I knew that my princess was extraordinary. After only a few days back, I thought of the method of breaking the city. Let's talk about it!" He smiled and liked to see her cute eyes shining.
"You can ask Mo Chen to go to the nearest city to buy more chili powder tomorrow, and then go to the pharmacy to buy these herbs!" She took out a note from the desk beside her, with the name and quantity of herbs.
Although he didn't understand the purpose of those herbs, he still took the note with a smile: "Okay! The king's Lan'er is indeed a strange woman, and he actually thought of using chili powder to attack the city! Ha ha, Qin Chen got into trouble with you and can only admit his bad luck! It's late. Let's go to bed!" With that, he got up, bent slightly and picked her up and walked to the bed.
Holding her, he fell asleep tiredly. He hasn't slept well in the past few months, and his spirit and body and mind are very tired. Now she has finally returned safely, and his hanging heart has finally settled down.
