The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 166
Sima Xukong waved his hand and ordered: "Come here, let our precious bird out of the cage!"

Xu Zizheng's soldiers had already attacked the bottom of the city tower, and were about to take the ladder up, but suddenly found a group of strange birds with big red hairs flying in the sky, with extremely fierce eyes, which made people shudder.More and more birds were released from their cages, like long-trapped killers, now free, bloodthirsty excited.

"Fire-eating bird!?"

Xu Shikang looked at the overwhelming number of birds, and murmured a little bit in horror.

"Fire Bird? What is that??"

"An extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty bird. It is comparable to a killer among birds. As long as it smells blood, it will rush up desperately, bloodthirsty and meat-eating!"

When Xu Shikang spoke, the Fire-eating Bird had already charged into Xu's army, smelling the blood, he pecked it down fiercely.Soldiers have to beware of the poisonous arrows of the Arrowhead while slashing and killing the Fire-Eating Bird. If they are not careful, they will be injured. After being injured, they will be eaten more fiercely by the Fire-Eating Bird, and they will change in a short time. Into a bloody flesh man.

Looking at the bloody battlefield, Xu Zizheng's voice was as cold as ice, and he said angrily: "It's really despicable, if you don't dare to compete with real swords and guns, you will use some dirty moves!"

Xu Shikang: "It doesn't look like they were unprepared. They should have discovered the identity of the secret agent long ago, deliberately released the wrong signal, and let us fall into the trap! Zizheng, now you must not be dominated by anger. Heavy!"

"But so many soldiers have been sacrificed, it's really useless to retreat like this!" Staring fiercely at Sima Xukong on the tower, Xu Zizheng wished he could smash his body to pieces immediately.

But such ferocious eyes turned into shock and helplessness when they saw the second crossbow machine.

"God, oh my god, there's a second crossbow machine!?"

"Now we can't stand it anymore!"

The morale of the army, which had already been slackened, looked more like a plate of loose sand when seeing the second behemoth, with more and more fear in their eyes. Coupled with the attack of the fire-eating bird, Xu's army had basically lost the ability to fight.

Xu Shikang tugged on Xu Zizheng's sleeve, and said with a somewhat blunt order in his tone: "Zizheng, don't be brave anymore, give the order to retreat!"

With trembling fingers, Xu Zizheng turned around and took a bow and arrow from a lieutenant general, aimed at Sima Xukong who was standing on the tower, and murmured coldly: "I still want to have a final duel with him!"

Sima Xukong also noticed Xu Zizheng's movements, but he didn't take this threat seriously. Instead, he raised his arms and looked at Xu Zizheng provocatively.

Seeing Sima Xukong's strangeness, Gu Shiyong hurriedly pushed Sima Xukong away, and said anxiously: "My lord is in danger!"

Patting the wrinkles on his body lightly, Sima Xukong said disdainfully: "Hmph, he can't hit me! No one is allowed to intervene!"

"But my lord..."

"Shut up, don't say any more!"

Gu Shiyong saw that Sima Xukong insisted, so he could only back away silently, holding his sword to prepare, and waited for the opponent's cold arrow to shoot, so that he could protect Sima Xukong as soon as possible.

The ice-cold arrow was aimed steadily at Sima Xukong, Xu Zizheng exhausted all his strength, and shot with all his strength, the arrow branch was wrapped in the momentum of strong wind and rain, and came straight towards Sima Xukong!

Gu Shiyong also doubted that the two people were so far apart, whether the arrow would fly over.But when he saw the sword flying towards him like a thunderbolt, Gu Shiyong suddenly put all his strength on the tip of the sword, and instinctively chopped it off fiercely.

His heart relaxed a little, but Gu Shiyong was horrified to find that there was half an arrow branch on Sima Xukong's shoulder, and the blood stained Sima Xukong's battle robe red, and also stained Gu Shiyong's complexion white.

It turned out to be the arrow in the arrow!

"My lord!"

Everyone surrounded Sima Xukong in shock, blaming themselves for Sima Xukong's injury.

But Sima Xukong took a few breaths, and said with a sneer, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm afraid it's the guy on the other side!"

Following Sima Xukong's gaze, everyone looked at Xu Zizheng, and suddenly found that the guy had been shot by a poisonous arrow and had fallen off the horse, surrounded by many people.

Gu Shiyong looked at Sima Xukong in disbelief, thinking that this man actually targeted him just to hurt Xu Zizheng!These two people are really crazy! !If the Ninth Concubine knew about this, she would definitely teach the prince a lesson.

It turned out that Xu Zizheng put all his energy on this arrow, and didn't notice that the poisonous arrow branch flew towards him.As usual, Xu Zizheng would definitely avoid it safely, but at this time, he has no time to think about other things, so this is destined to be an ending that hurts both sides.

"Zizheng!" Xu Shikang looked at Xu Zizheng with heartache, then turned around and ordered eagerly, "Order the whole army, retreat!"

The backbone of the Xu family army has been injured, and the entire team of officers and soldiers has completely lost confidence.After hearing the clarion call to withdraw troops, the You Xu family army withdrew their troops and left like a bereaved dog.

Looking at the soldiers receding like a tide under the tower, Gu Shiyong asked: "My lord, do you want to continue chasing them?"

Taking a deep breath, Sima Xukong endured the pain and said: "If we leave here, our advantages will be gone. We may not get any benefits in a one-on-one confrontation. They have also suffered heavy losses in this battle. This is a place to recharge your batteries. Moreover, the Second Prince and the others are about to arrive, and they will not be so stupid as to wait to confront the Second Prince, so in a short time, there is absolutely no need to care about this Xu family army."

Gu Shiyong admired Sima Xukong's analysis, and praised: "It turns out that the prince has already thought about it." However, when Gu Shiyong's gaze fell on Sima Xukong's shoulder, he frowned and shouted, "Hurry up!" Call the military doctor to heal the prince!"

It has to be said that Xu Zizheng's arrow is still very powerful. Even after such a distance, it still caused Sima Xukong's shoulder to hurt.But thinking of that man who is worse than himself now, with a strange poison in his body, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Seeing such a situation, Sima Xukong could still laugh, Gu Shiyong couldn't help wondering: "What are you laughing at, my lord?"

"It's nothing, I just thought that Xu Jiajun just looked at the empty shell of a crossbow machine and messed up. It's really ridiculous!"

"My lord, don't talk anymore, wait for the military doctor to treat your wound."

Sitting quietly on a stone step, Sima Xukong slowly closed his eyes to recharge his batteries.But at this moment, he thought of the victory over Xu Zizheng this time, thanks to Jing Rong's recommendation of He Nuo to him, and also a little bit of Xu Zizheng's weakness in character.However, he was very curious, why did the eldest grandson Jingrong know Xu Zizheng so well?It seems that after the work is over, I still have to ask.

On the second day, when He Nuo was still in a daze, he heard that someone was already celebrating happily outside, so he sat up curiously and looked outside.

Lei Qing'er just came in with a bowl of hot noodle soup, and when he saw He Nuo woke up, he smiled and said, "You lazy pig finally woke up, I was thinking, if you still don't wake up, I'll use the Needle stuck in your ass."

Looking at Lei Qing'er with a grin, He Nuo said, "Qing'er, why would you be willing to do so? It's just, what's going on outside. It seems to be very lively."

After soaking the cloth towel in warm water, Lei Qing'er carefully wiped He Nuo's hands and cheeks, and said, "You drank the medicine yesterday and went to bed early, so it's no wonder you don't know what's going on outside."

Quickly moving his body forward, He Nuo asked: "Then what happened?"

Looking up at He Nuo, Lei Qing'er smiled mysteriously and said, "Yesterday the Xu family's army attacked, but they were already defeated by the Ninth Prince! Now the entire army has retreated, and the crisis in the capital is over!"

"What!?" He Nuo grinned, as if he hadn't expected the matter to be resolved so smoothly, and he couldn't help but said urgently, "Tell me quickly, what's going on, why it took only one day, and the prince will Did you clean up Xu Zizheng? But it’s not right, I was not there to teach Xu Zizheng a lesson, could it be that the prince didn’t use the countermeasures we discussed earlier?”

"I don't know what you discussed before, but the prince did use poison." Handing a bowl of hot noodles to He Nuo's hands, Lei Qing'er said, "Actually, you don't know, there is another one." One thing. Before Xu Zizheng led the army to arrive in the capital, the prince once held a drill, and the crossbow machine was hungry for the drill with the army. However, during the drill, a small soldier suddenly detonated a bomb and completely destroyed the crossbow machine. Then, Xu Zizheng led the army to kill under the city wall, trying to take advantage of it. But they didn't expect that this was a plan designed by the prince, and the burnt crossbow machine was just an empty shell of your previous research. The fake crossbow lured you into the urn, and Xu Zizheng came to the door aggressively to provoke after being fooled. As you can imagine, the prince not only used the improved crossbow to teach Xu Zizheng severely, but also used Two strategies, one is to put down the kite with poisonous powder, and the other is to use the fire-eating birds to attack the injured Xu Jiajun. Although Xu Jiajun also used the throwing machine to damage part of the city wall, compared with their casualties, it is simply not worth mentioning Yes! I also heard that Xu Zizheng was attacked by poisonous arrows, and his life and death were unknown, and the rest of the troops also ran away with their tails between their legs!"

Listening to Lei Qing'er's description, He Nuo's expression was stupefied, he was sometimes emotional and sometimes regretful, and murmured: "Hey, it's a pity that I didn't get to witness such a once-in-a-century scene in person!"

"Actually, it's not a pity. Miss didn't tell you the truth on purpose before." Lei Qing'er carefully observed He Nuo's reaction, and seeing that the other party didn't reject him, she continued, "Miss didn't dare to tell you before. Burn the fake crossbow machine, otherwise, you will definitely rush out to stop it without knowing why."

Although He Nuo also knew that his temper was quite possible to do such a thing, but to save face, he still argued for himself: "How can I be so arbitrary."

"Yes, yes, you are not so arbitrary. We misunderstood you. Is this okay?" Lei Qing'er said as if coaxing a child, "Hurry up and eat now. You don't have to I am worried that someone will hurt you, so I can go to the barracks in a while, and discuss with the prince how to deal with the crossbow. The lady said that the big guy really took up space, and the technology of the crossbow was obtained by someone with ulterior motives. Unbelievable."

Nodding in agreement, He Nuo said: "Miss' worries are justified, so I'll go there in a while. It's just... the prince is so smart, I think the matter can be resolved perfectly without me."

Seeing that He Nuo was still a little disappointed, Lei Qing'er comforted him and said, "Why, the prince still praised you in front of the lady, saying that you have contributed a lot this time! The lady also asked me to ask you to see how you will be in the future. Do you want to develop in the military camp, or do you want to continue to wander the rivers and lakes?"

"Miss really said that?" The eldest grandson Jingrong seldom praised others, and it was really not easy to get her praise, so He Nuo was complacent for a while.

"Why am I lying to you? Of course the lady said it. So don't underestimate yourself. The most important thing is to take good care of your body. Then tell me, how do you want to choose?"

He Nuo stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then He Nuo said: "Although you can make great achievements in the military camp and make a name for yourself, it is really not free. I think with my personality, it is difficult to adapt to that boring and rigid life. It's not interesting to come down. Besides, when I was busy in the barracks a while ago, I couldn't see you, so it would be more comfortable to walk the rivers and lakes. What do you think?"

Smiling sweetly to He Nuo, Lei Qing'er said, "I'll listen to you."

Seeing Lei Qing'er's lovable appearance, He Nuo put his arms around her shoulders, and thought sweetly: "In the future, we can still teach our children the skills of our life. You can teach your children peerless martial arts, As for me, I will teach him the poison technique!"

Pursing her lips and smiling, Lei Qing'er added: "You can also ask Miss to teach him how to do business!"

"Oh, if you say that, you're really an all-rounder!" He Nuo was flattered at first, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and sighed, "No, this kid is too powerful, I'm afraid we won't be able to control him Him, what should we do?"

Lei Qing'er didn't know what was wrong with her, but she actually talked about the child's problem with He Nuo, and when she realized it, her face turned red, she sat up straight and emphasized: "Hey, let me tell you, do you think so?" Too many, have I promised to marry you?"

"We've been together for so long, do you still want to run away?" He Nuo said with a smile while hooking Lei Qing'er's chin frivolously, "I'm afraid everyone in the world knows that you are mine, so don't worry about it." Just marry me!"

Seeing He Nuo's foolish look, Lei Qing'er couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud.

At this moment, the common people in the capital, like Lei Qing'er and He Nuo, saw the hope of life again.It seemed that the crisis was resolved overnight, and everyone saw a long-lost smile on their faces.

On the other side, Changsun Jingrong went to the barracks early. On the one hand, she wanted to find out whether the war was really over.On the other hand, I also want to know, since the matter has come to an end, why did Sima not return to the palace, but continued to stay in the barracks?

Of course, the second reason is that only Changsun Jingrong knows it, and she won't let others know it.

However, Changsun Jingrong met Gu Shiyong outside the camp, and in a few words, he understood Sima Xukong's "feat" yesterday, and his face was not very good-looking at the moment, and he broke into the camp so directly without being informed by others. .

Sima Xukong was leaning on the soft couch. He didn't expect that his eldest grandson Jingrong would rush in suddenly, and his injured arm had nowhere to hide, so it was just exposed to the sharp scrutiny of his eldest grandson Jingrong.

The fur that had faded to his waist was pulled upwards, and Sima Xukong smiled awkwardly: "Jingrong, why are you here? Why didn't anyone tell you?"

The corner of his lower lip was curled coldly, and Changsun Jingrong said mercilessly: "Let others pass it on? By the way, so that you have a chance to hide your injury? I heard Gu Shiyong say what happened yesterday. Now you It's really amazing, to use your body as bait!"

Gu Shiyong has such a big mouth!

Sima Xukong secretly scolded Gu Shiyong eight hundred times in his heart, but his face was pitiful. He was alive and well just now, but now he can pretend to be weak.

Covering the wound with one hand, Sima Xukong said with a troubled face: "Oh, actually the scene at that time was not that thrilling. You said that Xu Zizheng is so far away, no matter how powerful the arrow is, it must be shot here. It will also greatly reduce the power. And you see, this is just a flesh wound, it is not a problem at all, and the matter is under my control, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yeah, you can still defend yourself vigorously now, so I know it's not a big problem. But your life is your own, and you don't worry about it. Why should I worry about it?"

Hearing the blunt tone of grandson Jingrong, Sima Xu hurriedly asked cautiously: "Jingrong, are you angry?"

After giving Sima Xukong a blank look, Changsun Jingrong said disdainfully, "I'm very busy, okay, there are still many things waiting for me to do, so I don't have the time to be angry with you!"

"Then just smile at me!"

With willow eyebrows raised, the eldest grandson Jingrong snorted: "Everyone is not a child anymore, why are you making you laugh! As for you, just stay and recuperate well, and I won't accompany you!"

"Hey Jingrong, don't go!" Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong was about to leave, Sima Xukong became anxious all of a sudden, and he didn't care about his own injury at the moment, he threw off the quilt and ran out, stopping the eldest grandson Jingrong with one hand.

Changsun Jingrong was afraid that Sima Xukong would hurt himself by moving around, so he frowned and said, "I don't know how to cherish my body now, don't you know that I'm injured? Lie back and rest!"

"My wife is about to run away, so what's the use of taking care of my body?" Sima Xukong saw that the bitter trick was easy to use, so he began to pretend to be weak, and said while holding his eldest grandson Jingrong's arm tightly, "I No matter, since I am injured, then I am the biggest, you have to stay with me!"
