son-in-law

Chapter 746

On the tenth day of the war, the Khitan people brought in a wheeled siege tower with riveted iron sheets, and with two hundred men and dozens of horses, it creaked and approached Yuguan.

Looking closely, the Khitan people put iron armor and blindfolds on the horses, and the soldiers held the shields and led the horses.Arrows flew from Yuguan, which did little harm to them.In the final analysis, the equipment at Yuguan was backward, and the few crossbows in the past ten days were exhausted and seven or eight out of ten were damaged.

Moreover, their metal arrowheads had long been used up, and later they used bone arrows and arrows shot by the enemy.Even bone arrows are not many.The women were looking everywhere for the arrows that the enemy had shot into the pass and sent them to the top of the city.

In order to prevent the siege tower from approaching, the guard of Yuguan, Wu Leqin, organized death squads and rushed down the city from the ladder, carrying kerosene and holding a torch to break through, intending to enter the interior of the siege tower and burn down the mobile blockhouse.

But three consecutive groups of death squads were wiped out by enemy cavalry, watching the siege tower approaching.

At this time, Gongsun Xiong sent fifty guns, three hundred thunderbolts, one thousand crossbows, and dozens of carts of metal arrows to Yuguan.

This is really timely support.

The iron-clad monster approached the city wall, and the ignited thunder thundered all over the sky. After a burst of explosions, the siege tower crooked.

The Khitan people were annoyed, and wanted to pull back the crooked siege tower, but at this moment, a rain of arrows struck from behind, most of the people pulling the siege tower were shot dead, most of the horses were injured, and finally they couldn't pull it anymore. .

Suppressing the enemy cavalry with a strong crossbow, the death squad rushed down the city wall, drilled into the inside of the city tower, and set fire to it.

At night, the siege tower was like a torch. The fire blazed until midnight, and the giant tower wrapped in iron sheets collapsed. The iron sheets were melted and flowed all over the ground.Finally, the molten iron and the corpse fire merged into one.

Looking at the battle report ahead, the apse was completely silent.

Temporary victory is not enough to celebrate, everyone can clearly see the determination of the Khitan people.

"If you go back to King Qin, only half of the Huo Lei in Zhengzhou City will be taken away."

General Xuanjia Zhang Yunlong was concerned about the war, but instead of entering the city, he sent his confidant Peng Tingyu, who had just been promoted to the first brigade general of the first division, to the apse.Peng Tingyu brought Secretary Lang to copy the battle report.Qin Wang asked Peng Tingyu something.

Su Yu thought for a while: "Go back and ask Zhang Yunlong if you can send more Huolei over there."

Peng Tingyu seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated to speak, and just said "Here".

It seems that Peng Tingyu knew that Zhang Yunlong was unwilling to send Huo Lei to the battlefield.Why Zhang Yunlong was unwilling, Su Yu was uncertain.

Maybe the virtuous king didn't allow it, or maybe Zhang Yunlong deliberately kept back.In case Yanyun is breached, maybe Zhengzhou will become the main battlefield again.At that time, there would be no supplies for war preparation in Zhengzhou city, wouldn't it be that they would only be beaten.

The battle is complicated, and Luoyang is far away from the battlefield. Now we can only rely on the general Gongsun Xiong.

I hope that the outstanding General Staff Xuanjia can stand up to it.

……

The war continues, and support from the rear is continuously sent to the battlefield.

Food is the number one material, and consumables such as bows, arrows, armor, knives and guns are also transferred from national warehouses to the battlefield.Recruiting troops across the country and arranging new recruits also required the mobilization of a large amount of supplies.All these things fell into the hands of King Qin unconsciously.

Being Lord Regent comes with a lot of responsibility and there is no time for light-hearted fun anymore.

The girls in the Peacock Building in Tongjifang Street can only wait silently, often leaning on the window and looking north.

This evening, instead of waiting for King Qin to come, we waited for Wang Xun to come.

Wang Xun said that he planned to accept the girl into the mansion next month, but when the war broke out, the queen mother asked the nobles to strictly prohibit rituals and music, so the wedding date had to be postponed.

This is really a sad girl, sitting alone on the couch, silently wishing for the end of the war as soon as possible.

"Concubine Fan is going to Daxiangguo Temple to petition, and the princess is going too. The princess asked the servant to come and ask, if Miss Tinger has an idea, she can go with the princess." Wang Xun invited not very enthusiastically.

Wang Xun, the obnoxious maidservant, is the most expressive of joy and anger, and his emotions are obvious, like a transparent person.

But Wang Xun was a maid after all, and it was the concubine who sent the invitation. Kong Ting agreed, and only said that she would wait at the gate of the palace early in the morning.

……

When King Qin returned home while lighting the lamp, he had to deal with all kinds of documents sent by Secretary Lang, and it was late at night after he finished his work.

The children went to bed early, and King Qin just teased the cats and dogs in the small west courtyard.The three small dogs are usually kept in the guards of the soldiers, and they run around from time to time. The dogs have sensitive ears. When they heard that King Qin was coming home, they came here to look for King Qin.There is a strange phenomenon in the palace. The cats here are not afraid of dogs.The cats and dogs live in peace and harmony, and sometimes get together to play.

Xiaoxi Courtyard is like a kindergarten and a zoo, but the rats in Prince Qin's mansion suffered a lot and were exterminated by these guys a long time ago.

Suddenly I heard footsteps, followed the prestige, and it was Ouyang Xiaochan walking over lightly.

After the new year, Xiaochan is also fourteen years old. It is said that she has become popular and is a girl who can marry.

When the girl saw King Qin, she twisted her body unconsciously, her bright eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.

It is the age when the buds are blooming, and the curves on the body increase and become more eye-catching.Looking at it at a glance, it makes people's heart skip a beat.

The girl has a good figure and a better face. She raises her eyes and raises her brows with a vicious look, the most seductive kind.I heard from Tong Yu that even the national gift beauty presented by the male Jia Guojin is still a little less beautiful than our Miss Xiaochan.

Tong Yu is a clever little ghost, with thoughts hidden in her words.He was trying to please the girl on purpose.How could he know that the girl would definitely not stay? If he said a few nice words, he wouldn't lose anything.

Ouyang Jing, the father, didn't care about throwing his two daughters into the palace.Perhaps this is the result of his management again.He hoped that his daughters would stay in the palace for the rest of their lives.

"The princess said that the young master of the Fifth Young Master's family has taken a fancy to Xiao Chan."

Instead of looking for Ouyang Jing, those matchmakers came to Tang Linger instead.

Su Yu pretended to be surprised and smiled: "Have you seen that person? What do you think?"

"Xiao Chan is still young and doesn't want to get married." The girl sat on the small bench and pouted.

"Oh, then it's up to you." Su Yu smiled and said: "Whenever you have a sweetheart, come and tell your adoptive father."

The girl suddenly raised her sleeves, hid her face behind the big sleeves, only half of her face was exposed, and said playfully, "If Xiaochan says it, will foster father agree?"

"Well..., that's not necessarily the case. You're still young, I'm afraid you won't see people right. I want to see for you first, whether that kid is worthy of our little Chan."

"What if it is worthy?"

"Below the Duke, I will match you."

For some reason, the girl became upset, she put down her hands and remained silent.

At this time, a voice came from Xiaofeng Pavilion: "Your Highness, it's getting late, you should rest."

The voice of the princess was like a stream of water with icy balls passing through the heart, which made people wake up instantly.

When I came to Xiaofeng Pavilion, I plunged into the bed.

The princess was not in a hurry to go to bed, and sat in front of the mirror to dress herself up again: "My brother's heirs are not prosperous, and the concubine is going to Daxiangguo Temple to petition. I will also go tomorrow, and I plan to bring Feng Yu and Kong Ting together, and give it to him as well." You ask for some heirs."

Su Yu turned his head: "What, you don't plan to be born again?"

The princess put down the wooden comb: "After giving birth, I felt like I was peeling off the skin. Maybe it was due to overwork during the confinement period, or maybe it was because of the wind. I always felt that my physical strength was not as good as before. I used to review documents and I didn't feel like I was sitting for a day. Tired, but now I have to stand up and walk every half an hour, otherwise my waist will become sore."

Su Yu stared at the fat princess.Although she is fat now, she is still not ugly.The high nose and deep eyes support the outline of this face.

"You're just too fat."

"Fat?" Tang Ling'er patted her stomach: "We'll talk about it after we're done. Make sure the child is full first."

Su Yu turned around: "When do you plan to let Kong Ting enter the mansion?"

"I wanted to do it next month, but now the Empress Dowager prohibits rituals and music, so I can only wait until the war is over." She squinted.

You can tell what she's thinking by looking at the way she hides evil intentions.The so-called next month may just be her temporary fabrication.Anyway, it was the queen mother who forbade rituals and music, not her, so she took advantage of it.

Su Yu tentatively said, "Don't hold the wedding for now..."

"Are you in such a hurry?" The princess quickly interrupted Su Yu, and the boss said unhappily: "Anyway, she is already yours, so why are you so anxious?"

The princess gradually got angry, more and more angry, and raised her foot to kick: "Why are you so anxious!"

King Qin quickly grabbed the princess's feet and squeezed them hard. The princess was annoyed and raised his feet and kicked them alternately.

Bang, bang, bang.

The first floor of Xiaofeng Pavilion is deconstructed with bricks and stones, and the second floor is a wooden structure. In the middle of the night, a little sound can be heard throughout the building.The servants don't know what the two masters are doing to make such a big commotion.But when I found out later, the maidservants who hadn't experienced human affairs blushed.

The princess's physical strength was indeed much worse than before, and she begged for mercy not long after, lying on the bed panting.

Su Yu smelled that strange smell again, and turned to look at the door of the secret room.

The secret room is connected with the masonry on the first floor.The purpose of building the secret room is to prevent Xiaofeng Pavilion from catching fire. The secret room can directly lead to the first floor. The door is thick and locked with iron bars inside.But later it became the private warehouse of the princess, and she often put things in it mysteriously and furtively.

Su Yu was very curious, but out of respect for his daughter-in-law's privacy, he didn't go to find out.But the last time an assassin came, the princess still brought Su Yu in.It's just that it was too dark inside, so I didn't see anything.

"Ling'er, can you smell a strange smell?"

"What flavor?"

"The smell of wax corpses."

The princess blinked: "Oh..., thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot."

She sat up and reached for the key.

Su Yu said helplessly: "Did you really hide that thing next to the bedroom?"

"So what?" The Princess spoke harshly and said forcefully, "My nephew is not an outsider."

Su Yu looked at her coldly.

Then she lit the oil lamp and opened the secret chamber.Realizing that Su Yu was peeping, she closed the door as soon as she entered.

Suddenly, the princess's exclamation came from the secret room.

　Hang a small whip to welcome the rudder master.
