Text Chapter 609: A Just Trial?

"Northern Qi Eagle?"

Tang Lan held a long sword in his hand, laughed tremblingly and said, "Ten years ago, I came to Bailing City once. At that time, the power of the Book of Heaven had not yet awakened, and you were just a servant serving tea and water. Now he is actually the Prime Minister of Yihe Kingdom, hahahaha... life turns around in such a short time, Bei Qi Ying, do you want this old man's head as a gift for Qin Yi?"

"Why not?"

The creases on Bei Qi Ying's face were about to burst into laughter: "Tang Lan, you were so immersed in power and wealth that you never expected to end up like this, did you? It's always been like this, you hold the power To make Qin Yin suspicious, it is reasonable to have such an end, if you are sensible, obediently confer, I can still spare your subordinates a life for the sake of your high morals."

Tang Lan froze for a moment, as if his heart had been moved, and was about to speak, when Tang Bi suddenly pulled the string of the arrow box hidden behind a pomegranate tree leaf, and immediately shot steel arrows straight to Beiqi go eagle!

"Father, be careful!"

Bei Qi gave a low growl, swung the long sword in his hand suddenly, the power of heaven and earth surged instantly, and countless frosts turned into ice shields, blocking all the dozen steel arrows in front of Bei Qi Eagle, but the surrounding area Many private soldiers of the Northern Qi Mansion were shot and killed, their intestines were rotten, and their deaths were extremely miserable. Bei Qi glanced at them shyly, and couldn't help turning pale and said: "This group of old men who don't know what's good, father, don't talk to them. You're welcome, just kill them, Tang Lan can't escape!"

"Um."

Bei Qi Ying looked at the direction of the palace coldly, and said: "The shield array is advancing, be careful of their arrow boxes."

"yes!"

In fact, Tang Lan only had two arrow boxes, and he came in such a hurry that he had no time to bring more arrow boxes. Tang Bi had already decided to kill, and he didn't want to drag himself out, which made Tang Lan feel helpless and heartbroken. This group of veterans are all experienced generals of the Qihai Tang Sect, but now they all have to die here meaninglessly, becoming a gift from the Northern Qi Mansion to Qin Yi, what an irony it is.

"Archers, shoot the arrows!"

Tang Bi roared loudly, guarding the door with a steel knife in his hand, looking at the private army of the Northern Qi Mansion outside without giving an inch, and shouted: "Flame Heavenly Book, let me release it!"

The three local books erupted in an instant, and flames engulfed dozens of private soldiers who were attacking outside the mansion, but the opponent's counterattack was even more violent. The Northern Qi Mansion is the most powerful family of heavenly books in the Yihe Kingdom, and their heavenly books will naturally not At least, a group of generals rushed over, and the embryos were raised, and the storm, flames, and frost swept across the wall of the palace, strangling the archers there one by one, and screaming together.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion was well-repaired, with sufficient fortifications, and there were even four tall archery towers inside the mansion. At this time, hundreds of archers entered the archery towers, shooting down from a high position, causing displeasure to the people of Beiqi Mansion outside the city. There was little pressure, and Tang Bi ordered people to find out the oil from the kitchen in the mansion, pour it outside, and ordered the fire to be ignited, which also delayed some opponents' attacks.

However, the delay in the attack by the people of Northern Qi Mansion does not mean that Tang Lan's army can win. Both Tang Lan and Tang Bi know that the strength of Northern Qi Mansion is no less than their own, and there are wealthy families and nobles in the whole city to help them. The world is just fighting alone, there is no possibility of victory, and the current resistance is only delaying.

Tang Lan's cloudy eyes were full of confusion, sitting under the eaves and watching the arrows falling into the courtyard in the distance, said: "Tang Bi, I'm going to sleep for a while, the people from the Northern Qi Mansion will call me after they come in. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

When Tang Bi turned to look, he was taken aback by Tang Lan's expression. For the first time, Tang Lan's face showed despair and bewilderment.

...

Five hundred miles away, smoke and dust billowed on the path outside the forest. Travelers and caravans on the road gave way one after another. A group of 5,000 light cavalry of the Zhen Guojun galloped past, bringing up smoke and dust into the sky.

Tang Xiaoxi wore a dark purple princess cloak, held the reins of the Sydney warhorse tightly, and rushed to the front of the queue. Her pretty face was full of fatigue and anxiety. She was almost exhausted after traveling for two consecutive days and two nights.

On the side, Tang Zhen looked at Tang Xiaoxi's appearance, and couldn't help but said: "Princess, we...we have been on the road for too long, and many soldiers can't bear it anymore, why not... why don't we take a rest overnight and set off tomorrow morning, In this way, we can maintain some physical strength and combat power when we arrive at Bailing City."

"No."

Tang Xiaoxi frowned slightly. Thinking of Tang Lan's situation in Bailing City, she couldn't help feeling like a knife was twisting her heart, and said leisurely: "Grandpa shouldn't end up like this, I...I can't just watch him die, I have to be as fast as possible." Arrive at Bailing City within a short time, and march overnight, and you must arrive at Bailing City before sunrise tomorrow, as many people as you can reach."

"yes!"

...

At night, the flames raged outside Zhennan Wangfu, and the Yihe army's attack became more violent. Even the army from many counties and cities had already rushed over, using siege chariots to smash all the walls of the Wangfu, and the sound of killing was so loud. And rise.

"puff!"

A steel arrow shot into Tang Lan's arm, causing burning pain. The arrow seemed to be poisoned. Tang Lan couldn't care less, pulled out the bloody arrow and threw it aside, saying, "Tang Bi, they are here How many people have died?"

"The subordinates don't know, there are many, many..."

"damned……"

Tang Lan was a little weak and asked, "How many war horses do we have?"

"At least two thousand, which is quite sufficient."

"Order everyone to put armor on the horses. Let's rush out. We can't sit here and wait for death. The elite soldiers in Bailing City are gone. These mobs may not be able to stop us."

"yes!"

Tang Bi stepped forward and helped Tang Lan ride on the horse, but the blood on Tang Lan's arm flowed down between his fingers. Tang Bi couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, are you okay? You bandage it up, and then go."

"No, it's too late." Tang Lan said: "The outer defenses of the mansion's Dongyuan are weak, let's fight from there."

"yes!"

The sound of horseshoes became dense, and nearly 1,500 Tangmen iron cavalry rushed out from the east gate, but there were still at least a thousand troops in the name of peace outside Dongyuan, and thousands of arrows were fired. The iron cavalry were shot and killed one after another, with muffled groans, and people and horses tumbled together, incomparably tragic.

Tang Lan moved with the army on his horse, while Tang Bi stood in front of Tang Lan with a heavy shield, and said in a low voice, "Rush forward, don't hesitate, protect Your Highness!"

More and more people were killed in battle, and there were more and more Yihe troops on both sides of the road. Many people shouted loudly: "Catch Tang Lan, capture Feng Wang alive, and reward tens of millions for those who capture Tang Lan's head. Marquis!"

"Puff..."

The arrows were sharp, and in the blink of an eye two arrows shot into Tang Bi's belly armor which was not protected by the shield. He let out a muffled grunt and did not speak. The steel knife cut off the arrows, leaving the arrows in his body , and continued to protect Tang Lan and charge forward.

Zhennan Wangfu is about ten miles away from the north gate, but these ten miles are like a road of death.

They kept fighting until it was almost dawn, and finally saw the North City Gate in the distance.

Tang Bi's face was pale, and he said, "Your Highness...Your Highness, we are about to break out of the encirclement!"

"Um……"

Tang Lan's face was ashen, and his arm was bleeding heavily. He said, "The gate of the city must be heavily guarded. Send an elite team to fight out, and we will go to the gate. In addition...see if there are any imperial reinforcements in the distance."

"There will be no reinforcements." Tang Bi murmured, "The empire has already given up on us old guys..."

Tang Lan trembled slightly. At this moment, a young and brave general of the Tang family led dozens of people galloping away, his sword blade flying, chopping the Yihe soldiers blocking the way to pieces one by one.

The moment he boarded the city gate, he was covered in blood and his chest was full of arrows. At this time, the morning sun appeared, and a ray of sunlight fell on his face, as if shining on a newborn dream. Under the brilliance of the morning sun, he Seeing a line of cavalry appearing in the distance, the Ziyinhua battle flag and the Qixin Begonia battle flag flying in the air, he couldn't help trembling all over, turned to look at Tang Lan at the bottom of the city, and said, "Your Highness, the reinforcements are here..."

"Reinforcements..."

Tang Lan got excited and said, "Who is it?"

"It's the flag of the Zhen Guojun... It's Princess Xi who has come, Your Highness, Princess Xi has come to save us..."

"Great, open the city gate!"

"yes!"

But at this moment, a figure suddenly descended from the air, raised his hand, and chopped off the head of the young general of the Tang family. Blood splashed all over his face. It was none other than Luo Lan. Disciple, Sanctuary powerhouse Han Jun!

Han Jun licked his bloody palm and said with a smile, "Come here, seal the city gate, kill me, and leave no one behind!"

The Seven Realms Palace has sent troops!

Dozens of heaven and sanctuary powerhouses rushed into the crowd, killing nearly a hundred soldiers of the Tang family in front of them in a blink of an eye. Han Jun's face was full of fierce confusion, and he roared angrily: "Kill me! Kill them all and leave Tang Lan's head to me!"

"yes!"

...

Tang Lan's face was ashen, and he looked at the north of the high city wall from afar, and couldn't help but feel a heartache, clutching his chest, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Xiaoxi, my dear Xiaoxi, Grandpa will never live to see you again... "

Tang Bi hurriedly grabbed the reins of Tang Lan's war horse, and shouted: "Come on, protect Your Highness and charge back!"

There were not many people in Tang Lan's army, and only a few dozen people died under sharp arrows one after another.

In the end, only two veterans, Tang Bi and Tang Lan, were left galloping on horseback in the streets full of chasing soldiers and Yihe civilians, forming a mess.

"Jiujiu..."

With a sad cry from the war horse, Tang Bi's war horse lost its front hoof and fell to the ground, followed by Tang Lan's war horse also fell to the ground. Tang Bi hurriedly helped Tang Lan, who was covered in blood, so anxious that tears fell : "Duke Lan... Duke Lan... subordinates are incompetent, subordinates are incompetent..."

Tang Lan shook her head slowly: "Old man, we have tried our best..."

...

All around, a group of civilians from the Yihe Kingdom surrounded them, some of them were holding blacksmith's hammers, some were holding hoes, and some were holding tailor's scissors, their faces were full of distortion and resentment , one of them said: "That old guy is Tang Lan, he is the one who wants to overthrow Yihe and let us be the lackeys of the empire again!"

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

They got closer and closer, Tang Lan and Tang Bi sat on the ground back to back, couldn't help laughing, tears rolled down.
