Big Moon Ballad

Shanhaiguan, the city is broken?

Hearing the report from the messenger, Ji Jiashu almost lost his footing.

The function of the Great Wall is to protect the mountain city. If the gate of Shanhaiguan is opened from the inside, it is almost the same as breaking the city. It means that they will be attacked from both inside and outside.

"Chunhua!" Xu Yishan supported Ji Jiashu from behind and shouted to the messenger, "Tell me clearly what happened. How could the city gate be opened from the inside?"

Almost all the people with some property in Shanhaiguan City have fled long ago, and the martial law has been in place for several months. How could there be a traitor sneaking in?

"who is it?"

Ji Jiashu grabbed the collar of the messenger and asked, "Who opened the city gate?"

"Yes... it's the defenders of the Northern Wei Dynasty," the messenger's eyes showed fear. "They said that the Crown Princess was a female with a foreign surname and was not qualified to be in charge of the military talisman. They also said that the Queen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was Si Chen, so the King of the Northern Wei Dynasty was getting better and better. "Come on, they are loyal ministers of the Yelu family, and they want to protect the Yelu family..."

"Bastard!"

Ji Jiashu punched the dragon scale rock hard, and blood seeped out from between his fingers.

"What loyal ministers? Those people are not the defenders of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they are the work of the Xirong people!"

Ji Jiashu was almost certain that the true identity of the defenders was not from the Northern Wei Dynasty at all.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was almost infiltrated by Xirong. If Queen Feng Yan of the Northern Wei Dynasty hadn't turned the tide, King Yelulang of the Northern Wei Dynasty would have been completely blamed.

Although Yelulang saved his life, the Xirong forces that had infiltrated the Northern Wei court were not completely eliminated.

This is also the reason why Ji Jiashu did not agree to transfer the Northern Wei garrison from the outside to Shanhaiguan. When the country was in turmoil, the border was full of good and bad, and no one knew what the transferred troops were. It would be bad if they got mixed up.

Unexpectedly, despite all precautions, I still failed to prevent it.

What he worried about happened.

What a hen Si Chen, what woman is not worthy of holding a military talisman, is just an excuse for thieves to cause trouble. How could a true loyal minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty open the city gate when the Xirong people attacked the Great Wall?

Ji Jiashu was filled with anger and even more anxious, "How is the Crown Princess doing? How is Meng Shi doing?"

Those traitors were using such slogans, and Meng Shi, who was in the city at this time, was the target of public criticism and was in danger.

Even though Meng Shi was extremely skilled, he could not withstand the impact of thousands of thugs.

"That group of thugs attacked Shanhaiju, and the Crown Princess's Palace jumped from the roof to Liuyun Tower." The messenger had just escaped from the blood sea of ​​​​the mountain of corpses, and his whole body was almost collapsed. "The secret guards of Liuyun Tower and Shanhaiju's The masters fought tooth and nail to protect the Crown Princess. But..."

"Just what?" Ji Jiashu's voice trembled.

"That group of thugs incited the people, saying that it was against the law of heaven for a woman to lead the army. If they kill the princess, the Xirong people will be able to retreat..."

"The people in the city have surrounded Liuyun Tower. The Crown Princess cannot bear to attack the people. She is about to... be unable to hold on any longer!"

That's it again.

That's it again.

"A bunch of beasts."

Ji Jiashu discovered that when people are extremely angry, they will lose the desire to vent their anger.

He hadn't heard such a sound for a long time.

He could not blame the people for their stupidity. In recent days, due to the siege of the Xirong Army and the garrison of a large number of defenders, a large amount of food and materials in Shanhaiguan have been plundered. People are complaining. The emotions of the people in the city have reached an extreme and they are in urgent need of venting.

The words of that group of thugs provided a gap for the resentment of the people.

The truth is not important. What is important is that people need someone to blame and resent.

Meng Shi is like this now.

The same was true for the former Shao Siming and Da Siming.

The royal men who have inherited the destiny for generations cannot complain, so the only ones who can resent are those women who suddenly appear and have no foundation.

After all, people always pick soft persimmons.

That makes sense, right?

What the hell!

Ji Jiashu let go of the messenger, stood up abruptly with his sword in hand, gritted his teeth and looked at the densely packed Xirong soldiers under the city wall.

He is surrounded by enemies from both sides and has no troops to mobilize. If he leaves now...

"Jia Shu." Chen Zichu, who had been running in front of the city wall before, walked up to him with a rare serious look on his face.

"Go ahead."

"Zi Chu?"

Ji Jiashu was stunned, "But here..."

Chen Zichu reached out and took off the helmet on Ji Jiashu's head and put it on his head.

"I bet on the loyalty of our Chen family that we will never let this wall be breached before you come back."

Ji Jiashu stared blankly into his friend's eyes, as if he saw the Great Sima of Nanchu.

"I can also guarantee," Xu Yishan looked into Ji Jiashu's eyes, filled with anger, "Nothing will happen to Meng Shi."

If something happened to Meng Shi, not only would they not be able to explain to Jehovah, they would not be able to explain to Ying Baoyue, and they would not be able to explain to all the female cultivators in the world.

I can't even explain to the justice in this world.

Now that their troops are tight, they can't turn around and rescue Meng Shi. If anyone can rescue Meng Shi single-handedly, it's only Ji Jiashu and Chunhua Jun of Nanchu.

"I understand," Ji Jiashu took off his heavy armor and returned to his white clothes.

"wait me back."

"I'll bring her back."

……

……

This is not the first time Meng Shi has seen Cheng Po.

The scene of the Shanhaiguan city being destroyed was once her deepest nightmare in childhood, but it was also the biggest turning point in her life.

She had already been mentally prepared when she took over the military talisman from Jeluhua and entered Shanhaiguan.

But she never expected that the second city destruction she saw in her life would not be at the hands of the Xirong people, but at the hands of her compatriots.

She was besieged and insulted by countless people, not at the hands of the Xirong people, not at the hands of practitioners, but at the hands of countless people she wanted to protect.

"Witch!"

"get out!"

"Go to hell!"

"Give me back my son!"

"Burn her with fire! Burn them to death!"

Liuyun Tower no longer had the original carved beams and painted buildings, but was in a mess with knives and axes. The hall and downstairs were filled with densely packed angry people.

Wan Liuyun held Meng Shi's arm tightly and dragged her to sit on the attic, which was covered with wooden boards.

"Everyone Wan, you don't have to drag me like this," Meng Shi glanced at Wan Liuyun on the side. He was no longer dressed in the charming Wan style she was familiar with. Instead, he was wearing soft armor and his hair was tied high. Starting up, like a general.

Meng Shi had long known that Shanhaiju and Liuyunju were unusual. But I didn't expect that the background between the two was so profound.

If it hadn't been for Wan Liuyun today, she would have been kidnapped by the traitors around her and sacrificed to the people.

Three of the four lieutenants that Jehovah left for her were traitors and they put colorless and tasteless hemp powder in her diet. The remaining person was hacked to death by the other three people. After being poisoned, she dragged her limp body from the roof of Shanhai Residence to Liuyun Residence. If Wan Liuyun hadn't noticed her movement, she immediately ran up to the roof and pulled her. It caught her and she fell to her death.

"Thank you for saving me," Meng Shi said softly. After Wan Liuyun rescued her, he quickly fed her the antidote, and her body gradually regained consciousness.

"You don't need to thank me," Wan Liuyun's eyes were more serious than ever before, "If I guessed correctly, it was a poison specially prepared by the Zen Academy, and my antidote can't cure it all. Your body has not fully recovered, and your skill is only 30%. ”

If Meng Shi fell into the hands of the people at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

Don't think this reason is cliche. When every dynasty falls, there will definitely be a "subjugated witch". This has been the case for each dynasty for three thousand years.
