chapter 856

Qingliu City.

The first month has not yet passed, and the night wind is still a little cold.

Xue Guang stood on the tower, looking in the direction of Jinling with his hands behind his back.

A man over forty years old, although he holds a high position, has experienced the grief of his daughter's disfigurement and his son's hand in the past two years, and his elegant face looks old and haggard.

He stared at the undulating mountains in the sky, and paused every word: "Xiao Tingchen..."

A guard rushed over quickly and bowed his hands respectfully, "As expected by the general, Luo Lishang and Xiao Weihua brought 15 soldiers and horses into the underground water system, and are now heading towards the direction of Liucheng."

Xue Guang smiled cruelly.

Wiping the kit hanging around his waist with his fingertips, he said: "It's the master's ingenious plan. Pass me an order. When Luo Lishang and the others enter the middle of the river system, the upper reaches will be ready to open the gates at any time. Send another [-] troops out of the city." , encircled and suppressed their fifty thousand troops stationed outside the city."

"Yes!"

After the guards left, Xue Guang stared fiercely at the distant Jinling City, "Xiao Tingchen, I want your entire army to be annihilated, and there will be no return!"

The underground river system is long and meandering.

Numerous torches illuminated the ground, and Luo Lishang took the lead, riding a horse leisurely towards the end.

Xiao Weihua followed behind her, and said lightly: "How long will we go?"

"We still have to go for half an hour." Luo Lishang glanced back at him, smiling playfully, "Are you scared?"

The young man's face was stern, "I have fought with the emperor for many years, and I have been to places that are a hundred times more dangerous than this place, and I have never been afraid."

Luo Lishang smiled.

The ground was muddy, and after walking for a while, Luo Lishang caught a glimpse of lush plants growing on the cave wall.

At the end of winter and early spring, the temperature in the ground is always high, and the plants bloom carmine wildflowers in the dark environment, which are enchanting and beautiful.

There was a touch of warmth in her eyes, and she picked a few branches at will.

Xiao Weihua's face was cold, "I thought Sister Luo was a man with a temperament and didn't like flowers and pink things, but I didn't expect that she still retained her daughter's love of beauty."

"These flowers are so beautiful, so they are naturally given to beauties." Luo Lishang laughed loudly, "I thought, it should be very suitable to be placed in his tailor shop."

Xiao Weihua couldn't help but look at her more.

He had heard about her and Hua Rourou.

I thought she was just acting on occasion, but I didn't expect her to be sincerely moved...

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he continued to beat the horse forward calmly.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Xiao Weihua suddenly reined in, "Did you hear any strange sounds?"

"What strange sound?" Luo Lishang raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Weihua signaled the whole army to stop, and leaned over to the cave wall to listen carefully, his face suddenly changed!
He turned his head and screamed an order: "Retreat, the whole army retreats!"

The 15 soldiers and horses looked at each other in blank dismay, but they did not dare to disobey the military order, and turned and retreated in an orderly manner.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" Luo Lishang was puzzled.

The man who has always been calm is sweating profusely at this moment.

He raised his hand to wipe off his cold sweat, and seeing the endlessly winding army retreating extremely slowly, he simply pulled out the long knife at his waist, performed light work and jumped to the top of the cave, digging hard at the hard soil and stones.

Luo Lishang frowned.

Although this younger brother of the Xiao family is reticent, he never jokes when marching and fighting.

Since he found an anomaly, there must be an anomaly.

She whistled and jumped up to help Xiao Weihua dig the roof of the cave together.

Her cronies followed one after another, and for a while, the entire underground river channel was retreating, digging the roof of the cave, and everyone was panicking, no one knew what was about to happen.

Until there was a faint rumble in the distance.

Like the thunder of Lichun, it is far more terrifying than the thunder.

Everyone looked at each other.

By the time he realized what it was, it was too late.

The sudden flood, like the most ferocious beast in the world, rolled the soldiers and horses into the raging river, and it was too late to struggle!

Xiao Weihua was covered in cold sweat.

The treasured knife rolled its blade, and the tiger's mouth was ground to bleed.

He tried his best to dig the wall of the cave, and a few moments before the flood came, he finally saw the light on the ground!
"go!"

With a roar, he escaped underground with the remaining dozen or so people.

Luo Lishang was still in a daze, but he grabbed his wrist tightly and dragged him out of the ground.

Luo Lishang stood firm on the ground and saw ambushes in all directions at a glance.

Her expression was slightly trembling, and the arrow in her sleeve shot out in an instant!
The assassin in ambush was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. With one hand on Xiao Weihua's shoulder, the girl jumped into the air. The arrow in her sleeve shone coldly, and shot in all directions!

More than a dozen assassins fell under her arrows, she stared at an army coming on horseback on the official road, and ordered coldly: "Xiao Weihua, take them away!"

Xiao Weihua and others took away the mounts of the assassins, and stretched out their hands to Luo Lishang, "Together!"

Luo Lishang smiled.

Glancing at the ground from the corner of her eye, the flood flooded out of the ground, soaking the soil and her boots.

The entire army of 15 soldiers and horses was wiped out, leaving only a dozen people.

She has committed a heinous crime!
She took out those few flowers from her bosom and handed them to Xiao Weihua, her eyes were tender like water, "Send them to his tailor shop for me. It took his innocence, but she never gave him anything... Jiangnan has nothing Let’s talk about giving a sprig of spring!”

After finishing speaking, she drew out her saber and laid it neatly in front of her eyes.

She underestimated the enemy.

So no matter what, even if she loses her life, she should protect Xiao Weihua to leave safely!

Xiao Weihua was displeased, "Sister Luo——"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go! Xiao Fengxian is still waiting for you in Chang'an!"

Luo Lishang's body was full of murderous aura, and he touched the ground with his toes, facing the army head-on!
Xiao Weihua closed his eyes.

After a while, he made a decisive decision, "Let's go!"

Luo Lishang met the army of hundreds of people alone.

Dark as ink.

Knowing that he was going to die, he didn't hesitate at all.

……

Jinling City.

Xiao Tingchen and Su Runmo sat side by side under the eaves.

The two of them remained silent for a whole night, until Dongfang gradually became pale.

Su Runmo closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Xue Guang can only talk about wars on paper, but the emperor's master is far-sighted and resourceful. The strategy of Qingliu City is probably from the emperor's master's handwriting."

Sikong Chen...

Xiao Tingchen thought of that old man, his eyebrows were as cold as distant mountains.

He casually brushed off the dew on his shoulders, "At this time, it's time for news of the defeat."

As soon as the words fell, a fast horse jumped over the wall and landed firmly in the yard.

Xiao Weihua rolled down from the horse's back, feeling ashamed as never before.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt under the steps on one knee, his voice almost trembling:

"Xue Guang used the underground river to drown 15 brothers...and sent 20 troops to encircle and suppress the [-] troops stationed outside Qingliu City...[-] troops were wiped out...I fled back to Jinling overnight... ...I beg the emperor to come down!"

Xiao Tingchen looked at him quietly.

After a long time, he remained expressionless, "Where's Luo Lishang?"

Xiao Weihua, who had always been stubborn and cold, suddenly shed tears.

Tremblingly, he took out a few flowers from his arms and slowly placed them on the steps.

Then he put his head on the ground in silence.

It is the dawn.

The thin golden morning sun shines on the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and the blue tiles and white walls, pavilions and pavilions are all gentle.

The marketplace has become lively.

Hua Rourou sat alone in the boudoir, combing her hair in front of the mirror.

The person in the mirror has red lips and white teeth, still as handsome as a teenager.

.

The couple Huarou and Lishang can finish writing tomorrow
 Thank you Nanmo and Love for your reward, hug!
