The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 168 The Echo of the Bronze Mirror
Only Ming Jing opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise on his face, "Princess, are you joking? It took at least a month for Beiliang's iron cavalry to besiege Shangjing. Long Xiaowei and Hu Xiaowei were struggling to resist it. With hundreds of us Habayashi Wei, how do you break the siege of Shangjing?"

"Ming Jing, you just need to follow Bengong's orders, why are you talking so much?" Zhao Shuang gave him a sideways glance, "If you don't want to do it anymore, I can choose another good general."

There was an eerie silence in the room.

Hu Lan and Hu Mu blinked their long eyelashes, secretly glanced at Ming Jing from the corner of their eyes, as if they were waiting for him to say "quit", and then volunteered to say "I'll go".

"The last general... obey orders." In this situation, although Ming Jing felt a little dissatisfied, he had no choice but to agree.

"Mingjing, tell me what you know about the medicine men's corps in Beiliang." Zhao Shuang placed a few copper coins on the map, moving them around, not knowing what they were counting.

Now she has not only the martial arts that Qingwu taught her, but also the spells that Chengling taught her. The two are like two giant dragons, one black and one white, circling up the pillar of consciousness, vying to let her use herself.

"The last general... I also heard from Mao Hu and the others that the number of iron cavalry in Beiliang Kingdom was limited at the beginning, and they did not surround Shangjing City to death, but were loosely distributed on the west, south, and north sides of Shangjing. It seems that they don't intend to attack the city." Ming Jing clasped his hands, "Later, a monster army came from the northern border, and the Beiliang Iron Cavalry quickly surrounded the upper capital, and not even a fly could fly out. Since After the monster corps arrived, the Beiliang people have attacked the city several times, if it wasn't for the impregnable walls of Shangjing, the city would have been destroyed long ago."

"The Monster Corps...is the so-called Medicine Man Corps?" Zhao Shuang pondered.

"Exactly, the medicine man corps is brave and good at fighting, and will not be damaged in battle," Ming Jing suddenly changed the subject, glanced at Zhao Shuang and said, "I heard that when the prince and the others just entered the northern border, they also encountered this medicine man corps. After tracking down the medicine man corps' lair, they lost their news."

The lair of the Medicine Corps...is the legendary Black Moon Palace.Yang Xuan approached the Black Moon Palace and then disappeared.

"How many people are there in this medicine man corps?" Zhao Shuang asked, holding a copper coin in his hand.

"The exact number is unknown. But according to Mao Hu, all the medicine men came from a mist, and it seems to be endless. What's strange is that all the medicine men in this regiment are invulnerable and extremely brave," Ming said. As Jing said, he glanced at Hu Mu and Hu Lan, "I heard that... Hu Xiaowei once sent a forward crossbowman to stop the medicine man. It healed itself again, unharmed."

When Hu Mu and Hu Lan heard the words, their hearts turned cold. They thought they could show their skills in the northern border with their shooting skills, but they encountered an invulnerable medicine army. What should they do?
"I was injured by the arrow, and then healed automatically..." Zhao Shuang murmured and repeated, "According to this, it is not really invulnerable. If it is burned with fire, maybe..."

"Wangfei is wise, and the last general also thinks that we can try using fire attack." Ming Jing echoed.

"We're leaving tomorrow, you go down and prepare food, grass and weapons." After Zhao Shuang finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal them to back down.

Silent night.

The lights in the room were extinguished, only the light from the lanterns on the veranda penetrated through the window lattice.

A young woman in a snow-white nightgown was lying on the couch in Dead Leaf Residence, holding a baby in her arms.

The baby was already sound asleep, but the woman's watery eyes were not sleepy.

"Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan!" Suddenly she took out a rusty bronze mirror from under the pillow, and whispered twice into the mirror, but there was still no response.

"A Tao, where did your father go..." Zhao Shuang waited to be bored, then Gogou scratched the baby's face with a confident smile, "Mother, this time, I must bring him back! "

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, there was a sound in the bronze mirror, like the sound of a man's breathing.

"Yang Xuan!" Zhao Shuang quickly put the bronze mirror close to her ear and listened carefully.

From the bronze mirror came a voice that sounded like a man whispering, but he couldn't make out what he was talking about. Maybe it wasn't the Central Plains dialect at all, and he couldn't tell if it was Yang Xuan or not just by the tone of his voice.

No matter how she asked, the people on the other side of the bronze mirror just whispered to themselves and didn't answer.

Could it be that the thousand-mile sound transmission mirror fell into the hands of others?
For several days, Zhao Shuang could hear voices coming from the sound transmission mirror every night. After careful identification, she found that there was a man on the other side of the bronze mirror, and he was speaking Chinese, but most of them were meaningless words. , like whispering, sometimes like talking in sleep.

She had thought that the worst outcome would be that Yang Xuan would fall into the hands of Beiliang people, maybe...be refined into a delirious medicine man by those Beiliang people?

The northern border is covered by an expert's enchantment, so her hexagrams cannot be calculated accurately. The more she hears the voice from the bronze mirror, the more restless she feels.

Habayashi stepped up his horse and changed a few horses halfway, finally arrived near Shangjing after a few days.

The climate in western Yunnan is warm and there are no four seasons. When I arrived in Beijing, I realized that it was already late autumn, and the cold wind was howling on the mountain roads on the outskirts of the city.

It's getting dark.

The mountain road is dusty, and looking far away, you can see the buildings and pavilions in the capital in the distance.

A general-looking Habayashi guard rode back from the front and approached the vermilion-covered carriage. The general on the horse said to the carriage, "Princess, the west gate of Shangjing City is ahead, and the gate is heavily guarded. It's getting closer."

"But there is an ambush?" Zhao Shuang lifted the curtain of the car and poked his head out.

She was wearing an ordinary men's military uniform, with a man's bun on her head, and she looked like a handsome young man.

"I haven't seen any sign of the medicine man corps for the time being, but the scouts came to report that there were traces of Beiliang cavalry camping under the city gate." Ming Jing held his horsewhip in one hand and pointed in the direction of Shangjing.

"There are too many of us, so don't go any further. Let's find a safe place to hide and camp tonight." Zhao Shuang put down the curtain of the car, and said to Xiangxia who was sitting opposite, "Xiangxia, tomorrow I will go to Shangxia in disguise. Capital, do you want to follow me?"

"Princess, Shangjing City is surrounded by Beiliang's iron cavalry, and even a fly can't fly in. You are a living person...how can you pretend to go in?" Xiangxia advised in horror, "Don't...don't take risks."

Xiang Xia was also dressed in men's clothing, wearing a dark military uniform, with her hair tied in a crown.

"Since the Beiliang iron cavalry did not attack the city, their number may not be sufficient. The city wall of the upper capital stretches for hundreds of miles, and there will always be weaknesses." Zhao Shuang narrowed his eyes, opened the curtain and looked outside, "Several city gates Everywhere is naturally guarded by heavy soldiers, but it is impossible for other city walls to be guarded everywhere."

"City wall?" Xiangxia rolled her eyes and took her hand, "Princess, the city wall of Shangjing City was built by the founding emperor Shengjing, and it was repaired several times later. It is the tallest and strongest city wall in the world. How do you get in the door?"

　Thanks to the little cutie whose tail number is 6162 for voting for me again, keep it in mind, and work hard to code!
　　I don't know why I'm sleepy these days, and I can't wake up from sleep.
