Chapter 524 Ten Children on the Tower

Five days later.

The flames reflected the night red, the arrows rained like rain, and the sound of fighting and fighting echoed back to the sky.

After the first wave of fierce siege battles, a stronger army came.

In Nan'an County City, [-] elite soldiers are approaching the city, and the situation is very critical.

On the city tower, Xiangnan Wang Xiangyu looked into the distance, and the black army was rushing forward, with sadness on his face.

The torches start a prairie fire, and the banners are fierce.

Qianqi armor, with a horizontal knife immediately in front.

Behind them are armored infantry lined up like a city wall, and the crossbowmen have long been prepared.

Hundreds of black chariots were preparing for battle a hundred meters away, and the siege laddermen and vanguards were all ready for battle.

Xiang Shaolin, the fourth son of the King of Southern Hunan, looked at the battle outside the city, and said to his father: "Father is kind, my ministers have long said to change the banner, and now Xiang Chengye has asked us to leave our hometown to defend Nan'an County, but we haven't seen reinforcements for half a month. .Father! He really wants to kill us!"

"Lin'er, my father regrets that I was deceived by Xiang Chengye. My father is old, but you are waiting for your brother to be young, but you want to break out of the encirclement no matter what!"

"Father, you don't have to worry. My son and minister have a clever plan. They used Emperor Qi's son as a threat to retreat."

"Now that Xiang Chengye has rescued the child, how can there be any child threatening him?"

It was precisely because Xiang Chengye knew that the children were robbed by them, so he became more wary of them and became more intent on killing them.

As soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, his mind suddenly turned, "Lin'er, you mean to find another child?"

"Yes! Father! It's just a baby. Xiao Zijun has never seen the child. Now there are rumors about the marriage between the princess and Xiang Chengye, and there are discussions about the child's biological father. It just so happens that he can use his tricks and find a child to pretend to be a tiger. "

Qi army barracks.

Although Emperor Qi didn't come to the battlefield in person, he was behind the scenes to attack Western Chu.

The battle ahead was fierce, so Xiao Yu couldn't sleep at night, and the battle reports were frequently circulated that night. At this time, he was studying the map with a lamp.

"Report!" A report came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, a letter from Nan'an County is a letter from the King of Shonan to Your Majesty."

Just as Xiao Zijuan was about to pick it up, Lin Yuezao stepped forward to pick it up, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Lin Yue handed the letter to the guard at the side, "Open it."

The guard knew that he was protecting the emperor from danger, so he opened the letter without hesitation.

Seeing that there was no danger, Lin Yue took the letter and handed it to the emperor.

His Majesty looked at it casually at first, and as he read it, his hands trembled a little.

He staggered a little, Lin Yue quickly helped him up, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Xiao Zijun took two steps back, his breathing was chaotic, and he helped his forehead.At this time, he needs to be calm, calm.

But I can't calm myself down.

Qingqing really gave birth to a child?
At this moment, he couldn't control his feelings, his body kept shaking, he didn't know whether it was because of anger or excitement.

My mind is a little confused.In my memory, the ship rolled into the waves right under my nose.

Qingqing can survive, why didn't he think that the child would survive with her?

If it's true, why didn't I mention this child in the information I sent to investigate Princess Yuxiu a few days ago?

His eyes were like torches, and he said angrily to Lin Yue: "Let Lu Yuan quickly come to see me!"

Lu Yuan hurried over and bowed: "Your Majesty—"

Before the words could be uttered, the emperor slammed a letter over, "I ask you, do you know about the fact that she gave birth to a son?!"

Sweat rolled down Lu Yuan's back.

Earlier, His Majesty asked him to send someone to investigate the matter of Princess Yuxiu, and he did know that the Princess had a son, but because he could not determine the time of the child's birth and was worried about disrupting the emperor's plan to attack Chu, he did not tell the emperor.

"I'm guilty! I did hear that the spies came to report a few days ago, saying that the Emperor Chu was looking for the baby. The baby was born to the princess. Because the news is not accurate, so as not to disturb the morale of the army—" Obviously their news was delayed, Chu God has found the child.

"Lu-Yuan." The emperor paused every word, his tone cold and cold, "I will punish you later!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zijun ordered, "Just prepare the horse for me, and I will go to the front line myself!"

Lu Yuan read the letter anxiously, only then did he know that the King of Xiangan said that they had the princess's son in their hands, and that the baby was almost ten months old, and judging from the time, it should also be the prince of Emperor Xiao Yu.

They asked the Qi army to withdraw. If the Qi army did not withdraw before dawn, they would kill the child.

Lu Yuan chased after him and stopped the emperor's horse, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Even if that child is His Majesty's son, it may not be in the hands of King Xiangan."

"I'd rather believe in what's there than in what's not!"

"The King of Xiangan is cunning, if he has a child in his hands, why would he wait until now to blackmail His Majesty?!"

"Now the two armies are facing each other, and the front line is dangerous. I will never let His Majesty take risks!"

Immediately, Xiao Zijun was furious, raised his hand and shook Lu Yuan several feet away with a whip, and angrily reprimanded: "I will be stopped by the imperial court, and I will be punished by military law! Whoever dares to stop me will be the same as Marquis Lu!"

It was already midnight when Xiao Zijun arrived.

On the city tower, there are torches, bright as day.

The generals had already made full preparations, but there was a temporary order to wait for the siege order.

More than a dozen vertical poles appeared on the battlements, and similar packages were carried on the poles, which seemed to wrap children.

Although it was far away, there were faint cries of babies.

There was a shout in the city: "The Qi army retreats! Otherwise, these ten children will all die before dawn. And one of them is the prince of Qi."

The leading generals were shocked by it and couldn't believe its authenticity.

"You guys have to think about it! Do you want the city, or your emperor's prince?"

General Li, the siege general, was a veteran general. He was confused at first, but soon realized that this might not be impossible.There is no son in the emperor's harem, but the folks may not.

On the face, he deliberately shouted: "Nonsense! Our Emperor Daqi has not yet had a prince!"

"Then shoot your arrows!" The people in the city spoke wildly.

If you shoot an arrow, it will definitely hurt the child on the tower.

At this time, the herald arrived, "Your Majesty has an order, the whole army is not allowed to attack, waiting for the order!"

Only then did General Li know that the emperor had arrived, so he ordered his generals to wait for him, and at the same time turned his horse's head to meet him.

Before arriving, the emperor came on horseback in person.

"Your Majesty! The front line is dangerous, so we should return to the rear to discuss countermeasures!" All the generals were pleading.

However, the emperor's gaze has long been attracted by the child on the tower.

*
Xiao Zijun was immediately ahead, and in the brightly lit place, the crying baby on the mast was cutting his heart inch by inch.

He heaved his chest and gritted his teeth.

Yes, after saving the child, he will not bypass King Shonan.

"Your Majesty, the King of Xiangan is cunning. There are ten children tied to a dozen scattered poles. It is not sure which one is the prince, so it is difficult to rescue and it is very dangerous."

"Send a letter inside, I accept the condition of retreating, but let them release the child from the tower immediately!"
