The queen leaves the court

Chapter 72
"Before we got married, I knew what you thought. There is no need to say sorry between Zong Bai and us. It is my wish to marry you. It is my duty as a wife to take care of you. Knowing you is one of the happiest things in my life. .”

Since she was born, there is nothing she can't get. Her father ruled the sea area, and she was cared for by her family as the most precious pearl.She has a stunning appearance and outstanding talent. Daddy raised her as a boy and did not hide her in the boudoir. She is the most favored daughter of the Jin family. Daddy once said that what kind of man in this world can marry her s eyes.

The moment she met An Zongbai, she only had one glance at the cold, arrogant and unsmiling, well-known General An. Since then, her love for him has gradually grown into a towering tree, full of him.

"I won't be your burden. On the contrary, let me stand by your side and share your worries. Didn't we always do this in the years before Xun'er was born?" She looked sideways and smiled, as if many years ago A bright and beautiful girl in the South China Sea.

An Zongbo's heart warmed up. In the years when she was by his side, he made great achievements and became famous on the battlefield. She stood behind him silently and advised him. After being married for many years, he was really dull and incomprehensible. to the days of yore.

"You can stay, just promise me one thing." He solemnly said to Jin Xiaotong.

"Yeah." She smiled and listened to him.

"If it's a dangerous moment, you must stand behind me. If I don't speak, you can't act rashly! If you agree, let you stay, or I will send you away in person!" He understands Jin Xiaotong's temper, but if she does If you make a promise, you will never violate his meaning.

Jin Xiaotong thought for a while, "I promise you."

Hearing her answer, An Zongbo was relieved, and then he ordered, "The prince sent reinforcements, but I did not agree to let him enter the pass. But I have no reason to stop the person who sent the message. His name is Ji Yunshang, and he is on the way. Rest in the tent. Don't approach this person, remember to keep away from him!"

After meeting in the South China Sea, I heard Jin Henbo say that this person is kind to Xun'er, but An Zongbai is very disgusted with him, even wary.After repeatedly instructing Jin Xiaotong, he sent more people near her residence.

No matter what the prince thinks again, An Zongbo knows in his heart that he will not let foreign troops enter Guanzhong, that is, Ji Yunshang, and he must find a way to ask him to leave as soon as possible.

This is the last critical pass. Whether he can hold it is related to the safety of tens of thousands of people, as well as the emperor in the palace.Even Prince Qing, Xun'er and Xiao Tong.

In this battle, no matter whether he wins or loses, he must defend it with his life until the last moment!
Under the leadership of He Lianqing, the black iron armor traveled around like the wind in the dark night, galloping across the Tiger Pass.

In the high mountains and jungles far away, a young man rode his horse and stared closely at the imposing team in the distance with a dignified expression.That was the strongest team that He Lianqing used to protect himself. Once he was dispatched, he would fight with his body.

Pursing his lips tightly, the young man followed them all the way in the direction they started.

At Tiger Pass, An Zongbai slept all night, and before dawn, he had already received a report from the spies that Qing Wang Helianqing led his troops to kill here.

The time for the final battle was approaching, An Zongbai got up and solemnly put on the armor that Jin Xiaotong had prepared for him.

"Let's go." He raised his head and turned around. After a while, he took Jin Xiaotong out of the tent.

He has only a few tens of thousands of soldiers in the pass. He has been a soldier for 40 years. At this moment, he feels tired, but still feels excited. Maybe he was born to be on the battlefield.But at this time, he had an extra concern in his hand.

"Remember what you promised me." He whispered repeatedly.

"En." Jin Xiaotong also held his hand tightly, she didn't know that the outcome of this battle was of great importance.

She had already entrusted Xun'er to He Lianqing, and the only thing left for her in this life was to fulfill the original vow, to be with An Zongbo for the rest of her life, and never to be separated again.

The towering black city wall at the pass, the banner of Zhennan King fluttering, An Zongbai stood upright and looked into the distance, quietly waiting for that moment.

Ji Yunshang didn't know when he would come up, but the man in white with black hair came slowly with picturesque eyes, he was silent and quiet, but there was a shivering coldness faintly.

"The prince of Zhennan doesn't accept the troops of His Highness the Crown Prince because he is afraid that outsiders will sneak into the pass and cause certain losses to the prince's troops." He said it bluntly, then nodded slightly to Jin Xiaotong.

An Zongbai stopped Jin Xiaotong behind him calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Ji Yunshang, I am the Zhennan King of Western Chu, and I am loyal to the emperor of Western Chu. The kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince is appreciated by An Zongbai." , but I have been fighting for 40 years, as far as fighting is concerned, in my opinion, I have never been afraid of the word."

"Zhennan Wang is brave, but being forced to this point by his son-in-law, I'm afraid I still feel uncomfortable." He raised his eyes and looked at Jin Xiaotong who was behind him. "Princess Zhennan, I heard Ah Xun often talking about you, so I just got to see you today."

Jin Xiaotong smiled and said, "But I didn't hear a word about you from Ah Xun." She just felt that Ji Yunshang seemed to have seen it somewhere, and she was a little familiar, so she couldn't remember it for a while.

He smiled kindly, without any hint of irritation.

Instead, it was An Zongbai who issued the order to evict guests at this time, "A war is about to happen. You are an envoy sent by the prince. It is dangerous and inconvenient to keep guests here. Please leave here as soon as possible." He motioned to the accompanying attendants to send Ji Yunshang down the tower.

At the same time, an attendant came to report, "Marshal, King Qing's cavalry is not far from Tiger Pass."

Jin Xiaotong's face changed slightly, and he suddenly held his hand tightly. He only thought she was worried at the moment, and didn't notice anything unusual.

"It's okay, Xiaotong." He comforted.

"I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back and rest."

Seeing that Jin Xiaotong's expression was wrong, and seeing that the attendant had sent Ji Yunshang out of the Tiger Pass, An Zongbai nodded and said, "Be careful." Then he ordered someone to escort her away.

The soldiers approached the city, but He Lianqing did not take the initiative to attack. At the same time, he saw a man on a single horse rushing here desperately.

Before the man approached, An Zongbai shot suddenly on the tower, the feathered arrow flew through and neighed, and stabbed abruptly in front of the man's galloping horse.

The sun dispelled the mist and fell on the face of the visitor. Against the light, An Zongbai's face on the city wall could not be seen clearly, but An Zongbai frowned, holding the bow and arrow hard, his knuckles creaking.

The man wanted to approach the city gate again regardless of the obstruction, and An Zongbai really put the feather arrow on the bow again.

On the other side, He Lianqing saw it clearly, and he couldn't care less immediately, he tightened the reins, turned his horse sideways and ran towards the young man who suddenly appeared.

"Come here!" He seldom gets angry, and now he is angry and angry, and his heart aches even more. He can't move the person who came, so he secretly suppressed him and said softly.

"Why should I listen to your orders!" The other party almost didn't want to take another look at him, and only stared at An Zongbai on the gate tower anxiously and angrily.

He wouldn't let her go, didn't allow her to get closer, she came here day and night, but she couldn't see them!
"Stop messing around!" He Lianqing said and reached out to her. She was stubborn, and he loved her, but she refused again and again. He tried his best to mend the scars between them. Lian Qing was helpless.

"I'm not messing around. You and I have reconciled. From then on, everything about you has nothing to do with me. I came here only for my parents. Helian Qing, you broke your promise. I will never believe you again!" She avoided He was not allowed to touch her body, and there were tears in her eyes.

He blocked all news about the war from her, and ordered He Lianxiao to guard her. He once said that he would show mercy to An Zongbai, but He Lianqing used the strongest armored army.

"I said that even if you want to reconcile, you must wait until the end of this battle. Now that there is no victory or defeat, you are still my princess, Helianqing!" He said and jumped behind An Zixun, expecting that she would struggle Afraid of hurting her, He Lianqing hit her acupuncture points from the air while getting up, and then hugged her full.

"Do you want to find someone to lock me up again? Your seventh brother is trapped by me. If you don't let me go, he won't have a chance to live. Don't think that you are the only one who threatens people, Helianqing. I can do the same! "

He sighed softly, and then whispered softly in her ear, "Baby, for the sake of the child, please be obedient and stop moving. I beg you!"

Startled, An Zixun immediately sneered, "Continue trying to lie to me, right? You're very smart, last time you fooled me all over the place, Helian Qing, do you feel that you're comfortable treating me like this, right?"

It was so easy for her to make up her mind to keep the child, but she didn't know that he had done something secretly, hurting the safety of several people in a row.

"I was wrong for lying to you last time, but this time it's true!" He Lianqing said eagerly, being deceived once, she would not trust him easily again.

He Lianqing felt distressed, how to get her back could no longer be obtained by force.

"Ghosts will believe you!" She kept shaking her head, forcing herself not to believe any of his words.

He Lianqing must be trying to deceive her again into believing that he knows that she cares about children, so he can use this weakness to make her submit again!

"I said I wouldn't believe you. Even if you take me back, I will still leave. I have nothing to do with you!" She smiled so much that her shoulders trembled slightly.

Sticking it next to her ear, He Lianqing said, "You would rather find Dongfang Feichi than tell me that you are sick. I know you blame me a lot, but I really didn't lie to you about the child. Birthday, we..."

An Zixun's complexion changed, and her eyes kept turning. On her birthday...

She stared at him with wide eyes, remembering that Mu Mian once asked her whether the date of letter was accurate, saying that it was recorded in the roll after the royal family members served the prince.

"I don't believe it, Helian Qing, you're plotting against me again!" She turned pale and shook her head again and again. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."

He knew that no amount of explanation would work, "Anyway, the child already has it."

"I won't want it!" She clenched her teeth and said firmly, the pain in her heart was burned to ashes.

It was obvious that He Lianqing held her tightly with his palm, and he suppressed his anger and said, "You can't help it, that's my child too!"

Eyes met, she bit her lips with tears in her eyes.

He Lianqing couldn't bear it for a while, Dongfang's words made him confused, the woman he loved gave birth to his first child, after he was overjoyed, he learned that if he wanted her to survive, he had to give birth to this child. He couldn't get rid of the evil Dafa, and he couldn't even save An Zixun's life.

He wanted to keep the child, but He Lianqing wanted to keep her life even more!

In this battle, he can only win but not lose!
Instead, he touched An Zixun's sleeping point with his finger, and ordered someone to help her to rest.

An Zongbai looked down on all this from the tower, and he saw Zixun rushing towards him alone. He couldn't let her enter the Tiger Pass. There were many dangers here, and only by being by Helianqing's side could she save her life.

There is only these things that can be done for Zixun.

At this point in the battle, he has seen Helianqing's ability to lead the army in battle. This is the last important hurdle, and if he breaks through it, he doesn't need to have any scruples anymore.

When he destroyed Beiyan back then, he used the Iron Armored Army. If the Iron Armored Army broke through here now, it might really be a cycle of cause and effect.

He Lianqing raised his head and smiled, and the next moment he raised his hand and said softly, his voice full of murderousness.

"kill!"

The golden sunlight completely jumped out of the valley and hung high, breaking through the mist in the mountains. He Lianqing looked at An Zongbai on the tower, no matter when he always straightened his back, his face was cold and arrogant, and so did his heart. His own daughter, he can really be cruel and not let her enter the customs, and see himself again.

Xichu was once a generation of God of War, his myth is about to be shattered in his own hands.

He Lianqing watched the whole situation quietly as the sound of fighting sounded in his ears, and for a while, he screamed blood and blood filled his eyes.

He understands that once he becomes famous, his bones will dry up, and the emperor's world is formed by the accumulation of countless bones.

He is used to the bloody life and death from his experience on the battlefield, and the battle at Tiger Pass will be an unforgettable scene in his life.

"Prince Qing, if one day you stand in your father's position, and your victory or defeat is related to the common people in the world, what will you do?" An Zongbai once asked him like this.

The coquettish face was slightly moved, but he quickly smiled, he had already made a choice between the world and her.

Whether selfish or ruthless.If someone tries to use this to threaten her life, he would rather betray the world, and definitely not betray his baby!
"Marshal, the prince's reinforcements suddenly retreated outside the pass!"

"Marshal, King Qing's armored army has already attacked the city gate!"

"marshal…"

An Zongbo listened to the attendant's constant reports, and he looked at Helian Qing who was not far away with a piercing gaze.The setting sun in the sky was like blood, and his red clothes against him were like flames.

Thousands of horses, fighting hard for a day, approaching here step by step!

As the setting sun finally set to the west, An Zongbai stood upright on the tower of the Tiger Pass, holding a bracelet made of red beans in his hand, tears of lovesickness.

He gave it to Jin Xiaotong, who had never taken it off her wrist for decades.

How to choose?

Xiaotong's life, and Xichu's world!
King Qing captured the Tiger Pass and when the city was broken, he could die in a horse leather shroud on the battlefield. As a military general, he will end up with no complaints or regrets.He had promised Concubine Ying that if necessary, he would help King Qing once, so as to keep Xichu in peace, as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers left in his hands.In the Battle of Yuyue, King Qing pushed into Western Chu step by step. The right time, place and people are in harmony with each other. He has already been expected by all!
He owed Xiao Tong half his life, and he might not be able to make up for it in this life!
now……

"Marshal An, have you considered it?" Standing behind him was Ji Yunshang, who refused to give up and wanted to persuade him to surrender.

An Zongbai had to make a choice. If Jin Xiaotong was to survive, he would stick to the Tiger Pass, once again delaying the crown prince's enthronement; if he gave up resistance and let King Qing enter the pass, Jin Xiaotong would die at the Tiger Pass.

"Isn't it important for Marshal An to guard the tiger?" Ji Yunshang asked again, and An Zongbai was more stubborn than he imagined.

"How dare you!" An Zongbai turned around abruptly. With a stern face, he stared at Ji Yunshang closely, and even slowly moved his palm up to carry the knife on his waist.

"Why doesn't Ji Yunshang dare?"

An Zongbai's expression changed. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was inexplicably wary of Ji Yunshang.

"My humble life is as important as Princess Zhennan, Ji Yunshang is really honored." He nodded and smiled, with such a gentle smile. "Even if I let Princess Zhennan go, she won't be able to live for a few years after being hit by Liren's tears. Do you really think that the Three Lives Gu can really heal her for the rest of her life? She is deeply poisoned, and she can only live in pain by relying on the Gu. This Like the way of life, death is also liberation!"

In an instant, An Zongbai's saber was on Ji Yunshang's neck like a thunderbolt. He was enveloped in murderous aura, clenched his teeth, and turned the blade sideways, cutting Ji Yunshang's flesh.

"There is a solution to Liren's tears." Ji Yunshang said softly.

"What did you say?" An Zongbai's eyes sank, and the blade in his hand stopped.

"Marshal An doesn't want his own life. He wants to protect Princess Zhennan and your subordinates. There is nothing wrong with that. I will add one more condition to you. As long as you trap King Qing Helianqing to death and not let him enter the customs, I will give you both. Get the antidote. You don't want Princess Zhennan to continue to be tortured after she loses you."

As the moonlight fell, An Zongbai's face was half hidden in the darkness, but the momentary wavering in his eyes fell into Ji Yunshang's eyes.

An Zongbai will not be loyal to the crown prince, and He Lianchen did everything possible to trick Helian Yufeng into ordering An Zongbai to be ordered to fight this time. Now that the Tiger Pass has been broken, there is no obstacle for Helianqing to invade Western Chu. But the Crown Prince Yuxi has not yet been obtained, and the succession of Western Chu must have the Zhenguo Yuxi in hand.

An Zongbai's hand holding the saber loosened slightly, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help making difficult choices. In the end, he slowly moved the saber away from Ji Yunshang's neck bit by bit.

He can die, but he can't bear Jin Xiaotong to suffer any more, but Ji Yunshang's condition...

Ji Yunshang smiled as usual, but the palm hanging by her side moved slightly.

"Zong Bai be careful!"

With a quick shout, An Zongbai instantly looked towards the place where the sound came from.
