Chapter 1177 Death Infinitely Elongated

Nanling is at war with Xiliang!

As soon as the imperial list came out, the people in the entire imperial city became a sensation.

How many years has the border of Nanling been peaceful? It has been more than ten years, and there has been no war in more than ten years.

Now suddenly I heard that war has started, and the imperial list has been released. After the sensation, the people are panic-stricken.

Tea houses and restaurants in the streets and alleys are full of people gathered in one place to discuss.

This news can be said to shake the entire imperial city.

When the city was discussing and discussing, the officials in the court were not idle, racking their brains to think of countermeasures.

It's just that there are countless ways, none of which have practical reference value, and all of them were killed by the Nanling King who had just returned to court.

Time passed bit by bit, and the frozen imperial city began to warm up slowly.

When the news of the war spread throughout Nanling, the canal thawed.

Hundreds of thousands of troops immediately crossed the canal.

The ships bound for the northwest border crowded the entire canal to the brim. From a distance, it looked like ants crossing the river, densely packed.

Feng Qingbai and Feng Mohan personally went to the pier to see off the generals. A cordon was pulled down around the pier, and the people were kept far away from the cordon.

"Uncle Emperor, can we win?" Looking at the sailing ship going away, Feng Mohan asked.

In March, the river wind blows ashore, making the two people's robes rustle.

The man's Qingyue voice came from the wind, firm and calm, always indifferent, "Of course."

Feng Qingbai never doubted whether he could win this battle.

Nanling will definitely win.

On the battlefield, with Qin Xiao, a veteran of the battlefield, leading the army, Xiliang's geographical advantage will not pose too much threat to Qin Xiao.

And he always had a feeling that the new Xiliang emperor, Banian, was definitely not a brainless person. No matter how ambitious he was when he first came to the throne, he would not recklessly start a war when his foundation was not stable. Such a move would do him no good.

This battle came at a strange time.

The war can't last long.

All the officials followed the emperor and King Nanling to the pier to see them off, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation was very quiet.

The empress dowager sat on the soft couch, slowly flipping through the scriptures, seemingly unaffected by the war.

The old mama didn't dare to disturb her easily. The empress dowager's speed of reading the scriptures was much, much slower than before, but she didn't notice it.

After returning from Xinghua Village, Erdou'er stayed in the Nanling Palace and did not follow up with the palace.

Blood is thicker than water, and the pull of the blood is something that others can't match no matter how much effort they put in.

During this journey, Qingbai and Liu Yusheng always accompanied Liangdou'er, and the baby's strangeness towards them had long since disappeared. When they stayed in the palace, they didn't cry.

Strangely, the empress dowager did not ask to bring Dou'er into the palace.

This is the exception.

"What time is it now?" The Empress Dowager asked quietly, her eyes still on the scriptures.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, it's already noon." The old mother paused, and then said, "The assembled army should have already set off."

"Um."

Nothing more to say.

In the silence, the sky darkened little by little, night fell, and the night shrouded.

Somewhere on the northwest border, Qin Xiao had just led people to avoid an ambush, and hid here for a little repair.

At the beginning of the year, the drums were beating, and the battle has been fought for a full month.

"Mao Taihe is afraid of crying now. He thinks that he can defeat us by relying on his familiarity with the terrain. He underestimates our Nanling army too much."

"How many of them have we wiped out this month? Wave after wave, tens of thousands, right?"

"There must be." The deputy general sat on the ground and laughed, "General Qin's tactics, is the kind of general who has never even been on the battlefield that can compete? I guess that guy only knows how to talk on paper and has been defeated so many times." , enough for him to remember the lesson."

The soldiers' faces were tired, but they didn't see the slightest bit of distress, and their eyes were bright.

Over the past few months, they have engaged in guerrilla warfare with the opponent, cutting off the opponent's offensive line into several sections, and then chasing and intercepting them in circles, killing a large number of opponents each time.

Maotaihe can be said to have suffered repeated defeats and repeated defeats.

Among the Nanling soldiers, some even joked about it in private, betting how many times Mao Taihe cried.

"Repair for a moment, continue to circle the north road, ambush from the col over there, and lure the enemy to ambush."

"Understood, just like they wanted to ambush us just now, let's give them a taste of what they want!"

At the same time, Mao Taihe and the rest of his subordinates were sitting in the tent with a disheveled face, listening to the sad news from his subordinates, his face was livid with anger.

For more than a month and more than 30 days, the two armies fought, and the other side hardly lost any troops. On the contrary, it was his side, who took the initiative to declare war, and was beaten face to face one after another by the other party. Up to now, 12,000 soldiers have been sacrificed!

With such a record, even if he wins in the end, there will be no glory on his face!

"Come on, get the Holy Maiden Shanlai!"

The saint's camp was not far from the general's camp, and soon someone was ordered to go down to call for someone.

Inside the barracks, in a spacious tent, a beautiful woman stared at her arms with red eyes and a distorted face.

The exposed arm was covered with abscesses of various sizes, and yellow-red liquid overflowed from the edges of the sores, emitting a disgusting stench.

And this abscess is still spreading upwards.

"Xue Qinglian!" Shanlai paused every word, clenched her five fingers tightly, so much force that the veins on the back of her hands were exposed.

This kind of sore has been raging on her body for more than a month. It started on the small arm, from one, to two, to one piece! Spread and spread!

She is a Gu girl, good at Gu poison, seeing this situation, how can she not know that she is poisoned.

Except for Xue Qinglian, don't do what he thinks!

And she didn't even know when and where the other party poisoned her!

Xue Qinglian didn't let her die suddenly, but used this slow poisonous method to let her clearly feel that life is worse than death!

Every time the sores spread, her panic would increase!

It's like someone deliberately prolongs the process of death in front of you, so that you can feel every moment of your death to the extreme. You can try your best to struggle, but you can't change the fate of death.

"Saint Lai, the general invites you!" A voice came from outside the tent.

"Tell the general, I'll be right there." His expression was ferocious, but his tone of voice was as natural as usual.

Smearing the smell-covering powder on his arms, and pulling down his sleeves, Shan Lai had recovered his calm when he walked out of the tent, and there was no clue on his face.

Passing by a small tent next to it, I heard the cry of a baby from inside, and my footsteps did not stop.

In the small tent, seeing the back of the woman leaving without looking back, the servant girl sighed silently, and looked at the baby in her arms with pity.

The little master is already one year old, his face has already grown, the pink is tender and tender as if it came out of a painting, and the exquisiteness can be seen only from the facial features, so he must look very good in the future. After getting a little older, unless it is extremely hungry, it will basically stop crying.
