Ugly Princess: The Second Marry of the Bloodthirsty Eighth Prince

Chapter 211

Not long ago, under the snowy and freezing sky, rumors arose in Leiyang County, all saying that the regent king was dead, and the leader in the chariot was actually the regent princess!

Discussions went around in the streets and alleys, and the hearts of Dongling's army were in turmoil. Soon, the news spread like wild weeds throughout the twelve border counties.

In front of the Governor's Mansion of Leiyang County, hundreds of people were densely crowded, and the people were panicked.

Meng Ran organized people to block the situation, but the situation in the barracks was even worse. The regent was killed by King Dingnan of the Xiyi Kingdom, and the three armies had no commander. No one could easily accept a woman's orders at this moment. The high-spirited Dongling army was instantly turned into a mess under the defeat of the rumors.

"Princess, you can't go out. Countless people are surrounded outside. It's too dangerous for you to go out like this!" Abi tried to stop Xueyi from leaving the governor's mansion. Xueyi gave Abi a comforting smile, but she still insisted on going out Facing the people in Leiyang City and Dongling soldiers.

Bai Qiu ordered a group of bodyguards to tightly protect the snow clothes. There was a sea of ​​people outside the governor's mansion, and the roaring shouts could be heard in the streets ten miles away.As soon as they saw Xueyi coming out, the crowd rushed forward with a whoosh.

Xueyi walked into the encirclement of the people amidst the pushing and shoving, and Abi stood in front of her tightly. She tried to raise her voice and shouted loudly: "Please believe me, your regent is not dead, but is suffering Severely injured and sick on the couch, he is lying in the Governor's Mansion right now!"

Someone in the crowd exploded: "In this case, let the regent come out and meet us!"

"Let the regent come out!"

"We want to meet the Prince Regent!"

"."

Just when the commotion was in full swing, there was a sound: "The emperor is here——" which caused the crowd to sigh, everyone looked forward to it, and stepped back one after another. Xueyi saw Shangguan Hongyu walking over.

Immediately, the people knelt down on the mountain and kowtowed for peace, and Shangguan Hongyu had already come to Xueyi.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have come to Leiyang County in such a heavy snowstorm. You should have stayed in Dongling Camp." Xue Yi looked at Shangguan Hongyu's thinning face, and felt that the snow-white fox-fur cloak was falling. The white and clean skin was surrounded by the dazzling light, as if it was so transparent that it would shatter at the touch of a touch. During this period of time, he was infuriating for her every few days. She wouldn't know his weakness, but he always insisted on letting her He had no choice but to watch him getting more and more ill day by day. He tried his best to endure the discomfort in front of her, but she didn't know it made her feel even more sad.

Ge Yingying was following Shangguan Hongyu, and Ge Yingying just glanced at Xueyi lightly, with sadness flowing in her eyes, looking at Shangguan Hongyu's eyes, she was revered and fascinated, but she just quietly stood behind him .

"The affairs of Dongling are my affairs. Although I am incapable of managing state affairs, I am not so weak that I can't even leave the door." Shangguan Hongyu stared quietly at Xueyi, his soft eyes full of tears. He coughed lightly and whispered to Xue Yi, "Axue, I said, no matter what happens, I will still be here." He shook her shoulders, firmly smile.

At this time, the thundering drums sounded from the Leiyang city tower, the drums were urgent and hurried, the beacon fire rushed into the gray sky, and the distant battle cries came from the direction of the city tower—the war started!

"It's not good—it's not good——" A fast horse came in a hurry.

"What happened?" Chai Feng, the imperial commander, asked quickly.

"It's not good, I don't know what kind of tricks the Xiyi people have performed. The golden light shines from the bottom of the city tower, and our soldiers are vulnerable!"

Shangguan Hongyu frowned, pondered for a while, and said: "Chai Feng, quickly lead your [-] imperial guards to defend the city, and we must not let the Xiyi people break through the tower!"

Chai Feng immediately took the order to go, and Shangguan Hongyu, Xue Yi and others hurried all the way towards the tower.

When I went up to the stand of the tower, I saw a dazzling golden light coming from under the fog-shrouded tower, so dazzling that it was difficult to open the eyes. Xue Yi took a closer look and saw that the charge cavalry of the Xiyi Kingdom were all dressed in gold. Armor, even the horses are wearing a set of shining golden battle armor. The gold reflects a dazzling light in this white white world. The majestic and majestic momentum makes the Tangling generals who are already distracted at this moment feel panic .

The sound of cannons bombarded my ears, the clanging of swords and swords drowned out the thundering battle cries, the war horses roared wildly, and blood splattered everywhere!

Soldiers fell one after another on the tower, corpses littered the ground below the tower, screams fell to the top of the city one after another, Xiyi Kingdom's offensive came like a tide!
The two armies fought until the sky collapsed and the earth was dark, and the night was dim
Xueyi held Shangguan Fenglan's warm palm tremblingly, her slightly pale face was as crystal clear as jade, her eyes were flushed, only the two clusters of light shining in her pupils were still trying to be strong. "Feng Lang, if you have the knowledge under Jiuquan, help me, how can I guard Dongling for you, how can I prevent these innocent people from suffering from the flames of war, from being displaced and losing their homes."

There was no breathing or response on the bed, only the crackling sound of burning candles, and in the distant night, the sound of fighting flames could be heard intermittently.

She held that hand tightly, and the person on the bed was no longer wearing a golden mask. That face was the same as it was when she first saw it on the Mulun Grassland. There were no traces of burns. Being younger than before, she once had the illusion that the ups and downs in the past few years were just a long dream and he hadn't woken up from the dream.

"Feng Lang, I really want to drop everything and chase you to Huangquan, but I can't do it. Our child has not been born yet, and I can't let him lose his home when he is born." Choked words, crying tenderness, only a little tenderness The lights echoed the cold wind outside the window.

"I'm really tired. If you know your soul, come back and take a look at me. Just take a look. Feng Lang, do you know that I think you're going crazy, please, come back and take a look at me, tell me I you remember me, tell me you are still waiting for me."

Holding up her red eyes, she slowly fell to the ground, "God—give him back to me——" How much strength she still needs to support her, and how much strength she still needs to tell herself to persevere.

But she was really, really tired and missed him so much.

The sobbing only echoed in her heart, the red and swollen eyes no longer contained tears, but a stagnant despair and helplessness, she squeezed his hand tightly to her lips, hoping that he could open his eyes , Let her see the tenderness in his eyes again.

The door was pushed open, and the loud noise pulled her back from the painful world.

Abi and a group of people rushed in.

"Princess! Let's go—the Leiyang city tower is broken—" Abi helped her up from the ground, and she saw groups of guards coming up to carry away Shangguan Fenglan's body, but she was still in shock, "Abi, you said, Leiyang County fell?"

Abi nodded fiercely: "Qing Tian, ​​Mr. Meng Ran and others are just outside, princess, the Xiyi army has not yet entered the city, we must leave this place immediately!"

"But, the people in the city—"

"Princess, there is a saying in the Central Plains, if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of no firewood. Princess, for the sake of the prince's child, the princess should also think about herself and survive first!"

Xue Yi's gaze dimmed, Abi was right, she wanted to live, as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, she would not give up, the lost city could be regained, she must persevere until the end.

The Dongling army led the people in the city to flee all the way and retreated to Anyang County, east of Leiyang County.

So far, out of the twelve counties at the Border Pass, three counties have been lost.

"Princess, you are too tired. Leave it to Mr. Meng Ran to appease the wounded soldiers." In the barracks, Xue Yi puffed out her stomach, and accompanied by Abi, inspected Leiyang after World War I.

Meng Ran and the others tried to comfort him several times, but Xue Yi still insisted on visiting all the barracks.

"Meng Ran, how many troops do we have left?" Looking at the wounded and howling soldiers in the shed, Xue Yi couldn't help his nose turning sour.

Meng Ran replied: "13 people were killed in the battle of Leiyang, plus the emperor's 30 troops in the camp, we only have less than [-] troops left."

The strength of 27 is only half of the Xiyi army.

"Are there no reinforcements in the surrounding fiefs?" Xue Yi asked.

Meng Ran shook his head and sighed: "The news of the prince's death in battle has spread all over the border. Not to mention mobilizing reinforcements, the ministers of the fiefs may have even written the letter of surrender."

Xue Yi scanned the wounded soldiers all over the place, and slowly narrowed his eyes, "We let the three armies see Feng Lang's body, and we can suppress the truth of Feng Lang's death for the time being. He was seriously injured and sick, but the army of Dongling must be led by someone after all."

Staring fixedly at the camp for a long time, Xue Yi slowly showed a firm smile, "Who said that women can't be in command to meet the enemy. Now, even if there are all kinds of difficulties, I want to give it a try!"
