On the battlements, arrows were pouring down like rain. Desheng Gate was very important, and Ye Yichen sent young Ye Minchun to supervise it. On the top of the city, soldiers were ordered to run continuously. Arrows and stones were flying everywhere. The cavalry was getting closer and closer.

bit franc machine

When the gunners saw the cavalry entering the shooting range, they fired without hesitation, "Boom, boom, boom!" with two earth-shaking roars. Once the gun went down, a large area of ​​people and horses were killed. The power was so powerful that it could cover nearly a distance.

Li radius.

The Tuwu and Jurchen coalition forces had seen cannons before, but they had never seen such powerful cannons. The coalition forces were in panic for a while. On top of the city, morale was greatly boosted.

Ye Minchun took the opportunity to organize his troops and poured the boiling oil down. The whole field was filled with mourning, and suddenly tens of thousands of guns were fired. The gunmen fired a volley, and a large number of foreign troops fell down.

The cannons on the city continued to fire downwards, causing erosion for several miles. Many horses were frightened, and the knights were thrown off their horses. Many people were not killed by the enemy, but were trampled to death by their own horses.

"Charge! Charge me! Don't retreat!" Zuo Yan personally supervised the battle, hacked a deserter to death, and shouted with red eyes. The Chu army had such powerful cannons, and he knew that the alliance between the two races that he had worked so hard to create would

I'm afraid this time I'm going to lose both my wife and my army.

Under the supervision of the sharp blades of the war team, the Tuwu and Jurchen soldiers braved artillery fire and abandoned countless corpses before finally rushing to the foot of the capital city, setting up a ladder, and climbing up with difficulty despite the locust-like rain of arrows and lead bullets.

Go, many people were shot down by the people above them when they were halfway up, and the ladders they set up were also pushed down by the Chu army with hooks and sickles!

The first foreign warrior finally climbed to the top of the city and was immediately hacked to death by the swarming Chu army...

Yulan's courtyard.

"Your Highness Prince Lu, you can't go in!" The little girl in Yulan's courtyard looked at a loss. She wanted to hold Ye Minzhao, but she didn't dare. Ye Minzhao didn't listen to what she was saying at all, so he opened the door and opened the door.

Ran in.

"Sister, how are you?" The imperial driver has been staying in Dezhou for the past few days. Ye Minzhao is on a tour with his father. There is no need to read. But he has been bored in the yard all day long and has already become very impatient. He originally wanted to go out for a walk.

Dezhou City, Concubine Hui is detained again

Looking at him and refusing to ask him to go out, Ye Minzhao took a few guards to the martial arts field to ride horses and shoot arrows. They played for an entire afternoon and were enjoying themselves. Little Hanzi hurriedly found him and told Yulan Yuxin that he had been attacked.

The news was told to Ye Minzhao.

Ye Minzhao was so frightened that he went straight to Yulan's yard before Xiao Hanzi finished speaking. Yulan was sleeping when he came, and the little girls were standing in the yard, trying to stop him, but they couldn't.

live.

Ye Minzhao pushed the door open and entered the East Room. Yulan was already a light sleeper, and this hour was definitely not the time to sleep. It was just that he had been too tired recently, so he was leaning on the couch reading a book, and he fell asleep just looking at it.

She slowly opened her eyes when she heard the sound, and saw a young and handsome man sitting on the chair in front of her couch, his eyes were astonishingly bright, and he was looking at her face without blinking.

Yulan was immediately startled. When she saw that he was Ye Minzhao, she felt relieved. She had always treated Ye Minzhao as a child, and then she realized that he had grown so tall and handsome. Yulan

Later, I realized that the young prince had a pair of peach blossom eyes, which contained countless charms. When he looked at you without blinking, it would be impossible for any woman to resist the temptation and give in to him.

Give me a hug.

At this time, men and women have matured too early. The young prince has already developed a noble temperament at a young age, which makes people's hearts flutter when they see him.

When the young prince saw her waking up, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "You're awake. I heard that you were attacked by a man in black. Are you okay? I'm really worried about you!"

Yulan's face felt slightly hot when he caught him. "You, why did you come to someone else's boudoir at this time? Get out, get out! I'll see you again after I've changed my clothes!" Yulan said.

The quilt covered his head, "You, you are so irritable!"

"I...I..." Ye Minzhao's face turned red involuntarily.

He was a dignified prince, but he didn't think of getting angry at all when Yulan scolded him like this. Instead, he stood up in a hurry and hurriedly retreated to the main room. He walked in a hurry and brought the chair to the ground with a "clang". He thought.

He wanted to go in and lift up the stool, but he couldn't move forward. Ye Minzhao couldn't help but feel embarrassed. For a moment, he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Yulan burst out laughing, thinking that she was really poisoned by the dregs of feudal society. What could Ye Minzhao, a teenager, do? I don’t know where the embarrassment just came from.

of.

"Xiaoyue!" Yulan called out from inside. Xiaoyue agreed and came in to help Yulan get up and get dressed. She saw Ye Minzhao sitting there in a very awkward posture in the main room, with his head lowered almost to his chest. Xiaoyue

A smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Yulan packed up and was helped out by Xiaoyue. She sat down next to Ye Minzhao and saw that the table in front of him was empty. She couldn't help but said angrily: "What's wrong today? I haven't served the young prince tea yet."

.”

After a while, Xiaoyu came in with a bowl of tea and placed it in front of Ye Minzhao. Ye Minzhao raised his head and glanced at Yulan secretly. Seeing her smiling as if nothing happened just now, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Yulan said

: "This is the famous local tea from Shandong, Spring Mountain Snow Bud. My young prince tried it and found it has a unique flavor."

"Oh! Oh!" Ye Minzhao responded, picked up the tea cup and took a big sip. The tea was really hot. He gritted his teeth and swallowed hard. It was so hot that he almost spit out his tongue and breathed, but there was still something in his mouth.

To say: "Good tea! It is indeed good tea!"

Seeing his embarrassed look, Yu Lan couldn't help but want to laugh. It seemed that she had frightened him, and she felt a little apologetic in her heart.

The young prince hesitated and said: "Sister, I was reckless just now, are you not angry with me?" He raised his head and looked at Yulan's face quietly, looking very nervous.

"I know you are worried about me, so I don't blame you!"

"Really?" Xiao Wang's eyes shone with surprise.

"Of course! You know that I have always treated you as my younger brother." Yulan comforted, "But don't be so irritable next time. I can say that if it were anyone else, they would definitely treat you as a disciple.

"

Ye Minzhao felt a sense of loss when he heard that she had always regarded him as her younger brother. However, he was still young and did not think much about many things. Hearing the second part of Yulan's sentence, he couldn't help but say arrogantly: "Other women? Apart from you and

My mother-in-law, I will not take any woman seriously!"

Yulan could feel the sincerity in his words, but she just smiled, thinking that he would soon grow up and marry his wife, and then he would naturally know how to love his wife.

Yulan joked with him for a while, and the young prince finally relaxed. Then he tasted the famous local tea "Chunshan Snow Bud" and then said: "I heard that my sister went to the Qingjing Temple to offer incense and was killed by a dragon on the way.

Xiangwei's Qianhu attack, sister, are you okay?"

Yulan smiled and said, "Do you think I'm in trouble now?"

Of course Ye Minzhao knew that he was just asking a question in vain, and it was a bit sarcastic. Yu Lan said: "Fortunately, neither the Crown Princess nor I have anything to do!"

Ye Minzhao asked: "Have you found out who did it?"

"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid Shi Qianhu was ordered by Xiao Yunqian!" Yulan explained his analysis again, and the young prince was thoughtful. After a long time, he said bitterly: "I'm sorry, it seems to be mine.

The two royal brothers are hurting my sister!"

Yulan couldn't help but look at him with admiration. She just said a few words casually, but he could think of so many things. As expected of a child who grew up in the palace, his nose is very sensitive.

Ye Minzhao stood up immediately: "I will go to my father's palace to ask him to see him and ask him to kill Xiao Yunqian to avenge you!"

He looked at Yulan with a pair of burning eyes, his expression was both solemn and serious. Yulan was so frightened that he suddenly pulled his sleeve: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have said this to you. You must not get involved here."

Come."

"My father loves me very much. He will listen to me and avenge you!"

Yulan said: "I know you are good to me, but if you go and say this, let's not say whether the emperor will listen to your words and kill Xiao Yunqian. Once the Xiao family and your four emperor brothers find out, they will definitely hate you.

It’s to your bones that the current battle for the right to inherit the throne is already extremely dangerous, and I don’t want you to get involved too!”

Ye Minzhao was moved when he heard this: "Then I just have to watch you suffer injustice like this?"

Yu Lan said: "Isn't this a good thing for me? What's more, even if Xiao Yunqian doesn't die this time, Concubine Xiao will not let her go!"

After some persuasion from Yu Lan, Ye Minzhao slowly calmed down. He sat back on the chair and said in a deep voice: "Sister, don't worry. One day when I really grow up, I will protect you and let no one

I can’t hurt you anymore!”

The Emperor's Palace.

Concubine Xiao had been kneeling in the courtyard for two hours. Meng rushed out to deliver the order, and Wang Ying took the opportunity to return to the emperor to persuade him, but he said countless good things, but the emperor refused to let Concubine Xiao in. Finally, the emperor was told

I got annoyed and said angrily: "You slave, if you dare to plead with the imperial concubine again, I will send you back to Nanjing Xiaoling to grow vegetables!"

Wang Ying was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and dared not speak.

The emperor did not call Concubine Xiao in, but he did not punish her to kneel in the courtyard. He originally thought that Concubine Xiao would not kneel for long before she would return to his palace. Who knew that Concubine Xiao was very determined and could endure it till now?

Meng Chong fanned the flames, and the emperor's heart gradually softened.

After all, he was still a person who valued friendship and loyalty. Concubine Xiao had slept with him for twenty years. The emperor had very deep feelings for her. Although he was angry at her for forcing Mei Zheng to death that day, she had occupied the right position after all.

Thinking this way, Concubine Xiao seems to be right!

The emperor leaned on the couch and read the book for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He asked the young eunuch to help him get off the couch, and was about to go to the window to take a look when he suddenly heard the eldest maid of Chengqian Palace shouting: "

My Majesty, what's wrong with you, My Majesty? Don't scare me!"

The emperor took two quick steps and came to the window. He saw the imperial concubine lying on the ground, seemingly fainting. Wang Ying was also startled: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor kicked him angrily: "You dog slave, why don't you help your noble concubine and master in!"

Wang Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly went out to help the imperial concubine in. Concubine Xiao had been kneeling for so long, and now she was indeed a little dizzy. The fainting was half pretending and half real.

Wang Ying and the eldest maid walked in, holding the swaying Concubine Xiao from the left to the right. Concubine Xiao knelt at the emperor's feet as soon as she came in: "I concubine, please be kind to the emperor!"

When the emperor saw that she couldn't kneel down, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He quickly helped her up with his own hands: "My beloved concubine, what are you doing?"

However, Concubine Xiao refused to get up: "Your Majesty, I am not strict with my family, which has led to such a bad incident. Please punish me! Please strip me of my title and demote me to a concubine, as a warning to others."

!”

The Xiao family was very powerful in the court. Xiao Zongsheng and Xiao Zongchang were both civil and military. One held the power of official promotion, and the other was the Left Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. They were very powerful. The emperor's health had been deteriorating over the years. For
