Chapter 224 No.20 Scene Nine: Wolves Disaster [-]

The words of the black-eyed boy caused the people in the city to explode in an instant.

However, amidst the chaos and noise, a woman's voice was suddenly heard, with a tone full of contempt:

"The city of Suiyao is full of people from the Dasheng Dynasty, why should a lowly person with the blood of the Di people be respected as the orthodox royal family?!"

Tuya followed the voice and saw that the speaker was a woman standing on the top of the city.It was seen that she was wearing a golden-winged phoenix crown on her head and a splendid neon dress, but her lower abdomen was slightly swollen, as if she was pregnant.There was a man in heavy armor standing next to the woman, presumably these two were the Concubine Lan and Boqi Lan mentioned by Sa Xueqi.

The words in the other party's mouth were like steel needles, piercing the restricted area that Tuya cared about the most and that was the most untouchable area, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.

Ever since her parents passed away, she was so young that she was cast aside on the prairie because of her southern blood, and even her closest brother regarded herself as a lowly alien.Now when she thinks that after entering the city, she will attract countless criticisms because of her Diren blood on her body. The girl just feels as if she has been bitten by the most poisonous snake and scorpion in the Gobi. There were bouts of numbness.

However, what the girl didn't expect was that the general beside him suddenly stretched out his hand, tightly grasped the cold hand of his wife who was trembling because of the anger in his heart, and shouted sharply:

"Since the founding of the country, Yubei has guarded the border of Dasheng for thousands of years, and built the majestic Suiyao City on the south bank of the Pinjin River where there is no grass. However, the war is short, and the peace is long. In your eyes, you can only see that the two sides have been fighting for years and paying taxes The exploitation of the people has been endless, but they have forgotten that before the outbreak of the Shuodi Rebellion, there was a history of more than [-] years in the northern border, "swords and guns were stored in the warehouse, and soldiers were not defending the border". At that time, the northern border Prairie people are free to go south and settle down on the south bank of the Jin River to farm and herd. Yubei people in the south can also marry grassland people as wives and raise children! Among you present today, who can guarantee that they don’t have a single piece of grassland on them? Lineage?"

The words of the black-eyed boy were like a stone thrown into the water, which immediately caused thousands of ripples, causing the people in the city to discuss a lot, and some of them nodded frequently, expressing that what they said was true.

However, Concubine Lan on the top of the wall was unmoved, and continued confidently:

"So what? This girl has eaten and slept with Yi Di since she was a child, and she has not been educated by etiquette for a day! If she is allowed to enter the city today, if she has a different intention, isn't she gambling with the lives of 100,000 people in the city? Have you forgotten that just a few months ago, the old lord sent an army north to conquer these people? How do you know that the other party is not here for revenge today?"

Jiang Yan squeezed his wife's hand again, and refuted loudly again:

"Tuya's mother is the eldest princess Kezun who the old lord loved the most! Yubei's customs and etiquette were taught to Tuya carefully by her! The reason why she fought hard with Yubei was to protect the wild goose from falling. Thousands of subjects in the past are safe. Now these Saxue riders around me are the same as you, they are all Dasheng people, and they are all Yubei people! They can choose to stand side by side with Tuya, a woman with grassland blood. Under the city, why can't you?!"

Hearing what the young Hehan said was well-founded, there was an uproar among the people in the city again.Lan Boqi on the top of the wall couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly grabbed the conversation:

"What we're talking about right now is Yubei's community and orthodoxy!"

"I didn't come here to siege the city and kill people, let alone to defend the northern throne! There are tens of thousands of man-eating beasts patrolling the northern grasslands, and they will cross the Pinjin River to attack Suiyao at any time! How do you think Suyao City can be kept safe with just a few thousand forbidden soldiers in the city right now?"

Before the young man could speak again, Tuya suddenly raised her head, as if encouraged by Jiang Yan's words, and the hesitation and worry in her eyes before were swept away.After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and a lieutenant of the Chiyan Military Academy in the formation immediately rode forward, and threw a blood-stained cloth bag hanging by the horse's hip on the ground in front of the city gate—the cloth bag rolled open, and the What was wrapped was actually a big wolf's head!

As if to prove what the princess said was true, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the field outside the city.The wind brought not only the clearly recognizable and creepy wolf howls, but also the stench and bloody smell emitted by the pack of wolves, which represented death.

This turn of events, like a torch thrown into dry wood, completely ignited the already excited crowd in the city, shouting in unison for the door to be opened.Lan Boqi couldn't help panicking, but he grabbed a longbow from the sergeant around him and shot it towards Tuya's heart, still plausibly saying:
"It's all the conspiracy of you Di people! The ancient fierce beasts have been driven into Lancang Mountain for many years, and they have long since disappeared. How can they go south again in groups! If the city gate is opened now, these Di people disguised as Saxue cavalry People can drive straight in! My sister already has the blood of the Luqiu family in her belly! If you believe in this person, you will be dissatisfied with the old lord, and you will conspire to usurp the throne and cut off my last hope of Yubei!"

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jiangyan immediately drew out the seven-foot Mo knife, swung the feathered arrow away with a bang, and then stood up with the knife, the black-golden blade pointed directly at the Lan brothers and sisters on the top of the city:
"If we don't open the door today, when the tens of thousands of galloping wolves behind us kill us, not to mention Suyao City, or even the entire Yubei, and even the Dasheng Dynasty will cease to exist. How can there be any hope? Today The geese falling in the original ten households and nine empty places are all thanks to these evil wolves! In our eyes, there is no distinction between Huadi and Huadi in the world, let alone high or low! We only have people we want to protect, and we want to make thing!"

"Shut up! Hua Di has been incompatible since ancient times—"

Lan Boqi was full of evil intentions, seeing that he couldn't argue at this time, he roared with foam flying from his mouth.However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw the billowing dust on the horizon and the wolves galloping, and he was stunned on the spot.The concubine Lan beside him was also frightened by the wolf's head, she turned around and left after seeing this situation.The raised belly suddenly deflated, and a pillow embroidered with dragons and phoenixes rolled out from under the skirt.

"Could it be that the princess - doesn't she have Zuoqiu's blood?"

The marching soldiers on both sides turned pale with fright. Seeing this situation, they looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

"Don't open the door! Otherwise, you will be killed on the spot!"

Lan Boqi had no choice but to draw out his saber, and sternly shouted at the Forbidden Army of Suiyao City beside him.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan knew that the other party had made up his mind and would never open the door no matter what, so he took the reins of the horse in his hand angrily, and ordered Wu Chen to turn the horse's head:
"Array, array!"

The black-eyed boy shouted loudly, and ordered the Red Flame Army and Sa Xue to ride in a long formation under the city-the galloping wolf has arrived, and it will only be a waste of time to waste time.But now the only way to save himself, save Tuya, and save all the Yubei people under the city gate is to fight hard.Right now, the only thing Jiang Yan expected in his heart was the pack of galloping wolves in the distance, not all that he had encountered in the Dankeri Desert before.

Seeing this, Lan Boqi on the top of the city hurriedly ordered the defenders to bow their bows, but the sharp arrows were aimed at the back of the warriors who immediately resisted the enemy below the city:
"They're just beasts, so why not be afraid! No matter whether it's a wolf or a human who came here today, let them come and go!"

At this time, the people gathered around the city had already seen the yellow sand and dust rising up in front of them from a distance.Seeing that Sa Xueqi and the Chiyan army turned their directions one after another and opened up their positions with their backs facing themselves, they finally realized that they were just being used by others as human shields to stop them.As an abandoned son, he had to fight for his own destiny.They only heard a roar from the crowd, but instead of running away in all directions, they all rushed towards the closed city gate, shouting "open the gate" out of righteous indignation, as if they had been rejected for many days. All the resentment outside of him also erupted at this moment!

But how could the angry crowd break through Suiyao's thick city gate so easily.And the wolves on the other side of the horizon showed their ferocious fangs to the southern empire for the first time after hiding for decades.

"Knights, today we are not fighting for a certain country or king, let alone for which dynasty or which emperor. Look carefully at the faces of the people standing around you! Today we are fighting for ourselves, Fight for them too! Even if blood is spilled on the battlefield and corpses are shrouded in horse leather, we will never bow our heads and tie our necks to those ugly bloodthirsty beasts!"

"It rustles like snow, and rides like the wind!"

"Long Song Liquor can save life and death!"

Sa Xueqi and the Chiyan Army stood with their swords up, and responded simultaneously with completely different languages.Even Tuya, who was not wearing armor, stood in the formation holding a long knife she found from nowhere.As Xiaotianmo, who held Yan high, slashed forward in the air, thousands of horses poured out on the black soil of the imperial capital highland like a white and red light that breaks through the chaos of the world at dawn.At the same time, on the top of the wall behind them, Lan Boqi also swung down his raised arm!
However, not far away, the knight who had already made up his mind to die suddenly heard a burst of thunderous cheers from among the common people behind the city:
"The gates are open!"

In just a moment, Jiang Yan's heart experienced the violent ups and downs from hope to disappointment, and then from despair back to hope.He didn't dare to stop his horse lightly, he just looked back hastily, only to see that a dagger that didn't reach the hilt was inserted into the back of Lan Boqi, who was originally high-spirited.The tip of the knife pierced the chest of the Marshal Yubei, causing him to fall from the top of the city in an extremely twisted posture, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Standing behind Lan Boqi was only a captain of the Imperial Army in leather armor.However, seeing him assassinate Shangguan, none of his comrades stepped forward to stop him, instead someone shouted loudly with him:
"The gate of the city has been opened, please come back quickly, Your Royal Highness, and protect me and the people of Yubei!"

Only then did the young Hehan put on the reins and blew the horn hanging from his waist.The charging army stopped and turned sharply, and even the hoofs nailed under the horseshoes were scorching hot.As thousands of soldiers and horses galloped into the city, a large pack of galloping wolves that had been killed in the distance had also rushed to the bottom of the city, and the mountains and plains were covered in grayish brown, as dense as crucian carp crossing a river.

The city gate of Suiyao was finally closed again before the pack of wolves could kill them, but the horses and antlers under the city were too late to recover.Jiang Yan and Tuya rushed to the top of the city one after the other, and what they heard and heard was the alarm sound of the galloping wolf approaching quickly:
"There are more than three thousand galloping wolves, less than one mile from the city!"

"Five hundred steps, the wolves have entered five hundred steps!"

"Three hundred steps!"

This time, before the black-eyed boy could speak, the seemingly weak half-blood princess took the lead and ordered loudly:
"Saxue rode down quickly to the city! Their bows and arrows are so fast, they should be able to slow down the wolves!"

Tuya gave the order calmly and calmly, as if she had rehearsed these arrangements in her heart many times before.Before the lieutenant of the Forbidden Army on the opposite side took the order, she immediately issued a second order:

"Send people to the city again to bring back all the old knights who were dismissed and disarmed by Lan Boqi, and re-enroll in the army. This time the city must be defended with their help!"

Jiang Yan looked at his wife beside him in surprise.Unexpectedly, Tuya, who had been silent until now and was about to shed tears under the humiliation of the Lan brothers and sisters, suddenly became so decisive.

The mixed-race princess only felt her ears warm up, and she turned her head to meet her husband's eyes, but she didn't escape:

"My husband is thinking, why did my attitude change so quickly?"

Seeing the black-eyed boy nodded: "I always thought that you didn't like Yubei. This trip to the south was just a desperate situation."

On Tuya's tense face, there was finally another expression:
"I never liked the surname Zuoqiu, and I never liked Yubei. But now, no matter Yubei people or grassland people, they are the same prey in the eyes of those beasts outside. And I just hope that thousands of people in this city All the people of Li can have a chance to fight for themselves before being swallowed by fate!"

The half-blood princess was thoughtful, as if thinking of the past experiences that made her what she is today.Time seemed to have slowed down at this moment, but facing the impending death, there was a smile on her face:
"It's you, why are you suddenly interested in my ideas?"

"I am from Yubei. If your grandfather had been able to fight so many battles with grassland people like you back then, maybe my family's life would have been okay. Maybe my father had already left with my mother and sister with me. If we left that impoverished fishing village, maybe we wouldn't..."

Jiang Yan said, but his eyes turned to the distance, to the hometown that has long been blurred in the depths of his memory...
