This night, the moon and stars were sparse, the night wind was blowing, and the sparse moonlight slanted on the high city wall of Huiling City. In the eucalyptus forest...

This lush forest is just beside the official road. It is lush and lush, which not only blocks the dust on the official road, but also blocks the blazing sun from the shade during the day. The Huiling River is wide and the current is fast, making it extremely difficult to cross the river.

For the Nanliang army, this place is more suitable for camping: it can avoid the sun during the day; the side by the river is not easy to be attacked, and it can provide water sources; in addition, the location of this eucalyptus forest is just right, but it is not far from Huiling City. Here, they can observe the movements of Huiling City nearby, and it is convenient for them to arrange night raids at any time.

Now, it has been almost half a month since the 10,000-strong Nanliang army set up camp here.

In the center of the camp, a large group of bonfires were burning, sparks jumping, and the sound of "ZibaZiba" was heard.

The two Nanliang soldiers guarding the bonfire added firewood from time to time.

Not far from the front, there were several tents separated by the cry of a woman who was unwilling to be tortured. It was desperate and desolate, and it made people shudder.

Not long after, two Nanliang soldiers who were disheveled carried a corpse wrapped in a straw mat out of the camp. The two threw the rolled up straw mat on the ground, and one of them scolded: "It's true Bad luck!" After speaking, the two returned to the camp.

The corpse fell heavily to the ground, so that the straw mat loosened slightly, and a naked arm that obviously belonged to a woman dangled outside the straw mat. It could be seen that the white skin was covered with bruises and mottled marks, and there were many more. The welts and bloodstains are almost unbearable to look at.

The two Nanliang soldiers by the bonfire just glanced indifferently and then withdrew their gazes. The thin black man among them looked up at the sky and said, "It's the third watch, right? After another hour, we can do it. ……hey-hey!"

The bearded beard beside him added another firewood and said, "Look at your virtue. General Elida said that as long as we capture Huiling City, we will not be banned for seven days. Are you afraid there won't be a better woman?"

Since ancient times, slaughtering cities have always paid attention to "everything lasts for seven days". General Elida was willing to say that he would not block the sword for seven days. Obviously, he was impatient with the battle of Huiling City, and planned to use this to improve the morale of the soldiers. .

The bearded beard rubbed his hands together and said, "Last time we were only allowed to slaughter the city for three days in Yanding City, it was not enough! However, this girl from Taiyu is really beautiful, and that woman with cooler skin than ours, tsk tsk..." He squeaked in recollection.

The black thin man pointed at him and said jokingly: "Ahe, I tell you, be careful when you fall on a woman!"

Qiu Bearded Hu laughed disapprovingly: "Hehe, didn't they have a saying in Dayu that a peony flower would die, and it would be a ghost to be a ghost..."

"Ahe, what is that?" Hei Shou suddenly interrupted his comrade, pointing to the sky behind him.

"What..." Qiu Bearded Hu looked over with a puzzled expression.

Do not know when the night sky flashed a cluster of fire, dazzling.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

"Sususu-"

The sound of breaking air mixed with the sound of swaying branches and leaves came, getting closer and closer, I saw the countless rockets rushing densely, just like meteors passing across the sky, illuminating the night like day. , Clank clank - rockets shot strongly on the tents and trees in the forest.

boom--

Those tents and trees quickly burned, thousands, no, tens of thousands of fire points followed by gusts of night wind swiftly joined together, spreading like a wildfire, and thick smoke filled the surroundings. , gradually blurring the vision.

The entire camp boiled in an instant, with shouts, shouts, and screams one after another, endless...

"There is an enemy attack!"

The two Nanliang soldiers on guard and several other sentries in the camp all screamed, trying to wake up their sleeping companions to face the enemy.

Immediately afterwards, the Nanliang soldiers in the camp poured out like a tide. They didn't even have time to put on their armor, and they didn't have time to pick up their weapons. Some of them even caught fire and rolled on the ground screaming...

The fiery red fire made the chariots in the battalion startled, broke free from the reins, ran, neighed, and even trampled over some soldiers, making the surroundings even more chaotic and out of control!

In less than a cup of tea, this camp turned into a sea of ​​fire, a hell on earth, and the disgusting smell of barbecued meat permeated everywhere...

The soldiers of Nanliang were all frantically fleeing out of the forest, even though their superiors were shouting and lining up, but at this critical moment, who would listen, but when they covered their noses and rushed out of this densely smoky fire, Waiting outside are thousands of cavalrymen in one-colored armor, layer upon layer half-encircling the woods. The front row of cavalrymen raised their crossbows and aimed at them with flaming rockets. took them.

"Shhhhh-"

Rockets shot like a torrential rain at these Nanliang people who escaped from the fire forest.

Behind the archers, they shouted in unison:

"kill!"

Amid the thunderous shouts of the soldiers, the sound of hoofs rang out, and the cavalry, holding high silver knives, attacked these slipping fish, like raging waves on the sea, one after another. Coming in, the bright red flags were waving and flying in the air, and the originally quiet night was now murderous!

Seeing the enemy attack, of course the soldiers of Nanliang would not sit still, pick up the weapons that could be used on the ground, flee and fight, everyone is fighting for their own lives. Nobody wants to die!

The knife rose and fell, and in the blazing fire, blood splattered and flesh and blood flew.

There was the sound of weapons colliding everywhere, the sound of knives slashing into flesh and blood, the crackling sound of burning fire... The ensemble formed a cruel and heroic sad song.

The soaring firelight dyed the dark night sky a touch of red, and the scorching air rushed toward the face, with a scorching stench, and the wind brought thick smoke, which made people cough.

With such a movement, it is naturally impossible for Huiling City to be unaware, and the city wall suddenly became agitated, and a middle-aged man in armor hurried up to the city wall with several people.

"Master Situ!"

The soldiers on the city wall were busy clasping their fists and giving a military salute.

As early as when the rockets suddenly attacked, the soldiers who were on guard had already discovered that at first they thought it was another night attack by the Nanliang army, but they did not expect that the rockets were aimed at the camps of the Nanliang people.

Chen Xiaowei, who was on the night watch, hurriedly sent someone to inform the Situ garrison. Since Huiling City was besieged, the Situ garrison had been sleeping in clothes and had not slept well, lest the enemy suddenly attack the city.

As soon as he received the report, he came quickly.

Chen Xiaowei said with a look of joy: "Lord Situ, could it be our reinforcements?"

Situ Garrison couldn't be so optimistic, but he didn't say anything, for fear of damaging his morale.

In fact, since Huiling City was besieged, he sent several teams to Luoyue City to report the news, but no one was able to survive the siege. Even their corpses were hung high on the flagpole by Nanliang people to show the public for ten days.

The closest cities to their Huiling City are Lanyang City and Huayi City. These two cities are small cities, and the defenders in the city are only three or five thousand. Not to mention that the defenders cannot leave the city at will without the order of the prince, even if they come. Now, in the face of this ten thousand Nanliang army, it is also a chariot.

Who is the comer...

Situ guard took the clairvoyant handed over by his personal soldiers and looked at the direction of the Nanliang army camp.

Through clairvoyance, the situation a mile away is clearly displayed in front of Situ's guard. The camp of the Nanliang army is on fire, thick smoke billows, and countless Nanliang soldiers are trapped in the sea of ​​​​fire, which does not seem to be fake...

The Situ guard slowly turned his clairvoyance, and suddenly his eyes stopped, staring at the flags swaying among the group of cavalry, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he blurted out: "It's the prince!" It was clearly the flag of the prince, Xiao Yi!

"Master Shi!"

Chen Xiaowei also widened his eyes and raised his voice subconsciously.

The soldiers on the city wall all looked excited and relieved. They had been so difficult to unite with the people in the city to last for so many days. I thought they would not be able to last the day when the army came. , and now he is fighting with the Nanliang army.

"We are saved!"

"Excellent, Lord Shizi has come to rescue Huiling City!"

"..."

The atmosphere on the city wall was getting warmer and warmer, but Situ Garrison couldn't be so relaxed.

In the light of the fire, it was difficult to estimate the number of the cavalry, but after watching it for a while, the Situ guard guessed that there would not be many people. However, they were just wandering and assaulting, deliberately avoiding confrontation with them, obviously their military strength was insufficient.

It takes time for a large army to march, and this should be the vanguard who came first to support.

Although Lord Shizi has disrupted the enemy's camp for a while with a fire attack, and caused a lot of damage to the enemy, but when the Nanliang Army reacts and controls the remaining soldiers, I am afraid that there will be a tough battle...

At this moment, the Situ guard suddenly looked stunned, and at the same time, Chen Xiaowei's voice also sounded in his ear, "Lord Situ, it's a semaphore!"

semaphore!

The flag of Shi Ziye is being waved rhythmically by one person in his hand, which is clearly the semaphore!

Did Shizi let him lead his army out of the city?

Situ guard put down his clairvoyance, raised his voice and decisively ordered: "Ring the war drum, call the whole army, open the city gate! Let's fight Nanlianggou to the death!"

"Yes, Lord Situ!"

Chen Xiaowei and the soldiers only felt their blood boil, and a killing intent surged from their chests, and they immediately acted.

At the same time, the forest where Nanliang Camp was almost turned into a huge bonfire. Those trees were burnt, snapped, and overwhelmed on the burning tent. The sound of breaking, crashing, falling, cracking... one after another. .

Everything that can be burned has already been burned. The bodies of the Nanliang Army can be seen everywhere. The death forms vary. Those who were burned to death, those who were shot to death by arrows, those who were chopped to death by knives, those who were crushed to death by trees... The ground nearby was almost dyed red, forming a world of fire and blood.

One after another, the remnants of Nanliang escaped from the woods in several ways. Xiao Yi did not order them to pursue them. The vanguard only had 3,000 people. The key to solving the predicament of Huiling City was that it was not wise to pursue them.

Xiao Yi glanced at the direction of the city wall, and the garrison of Huiling City should have received the semaphore.

Attempting to destroy 10,000 Nanliang troops with 3,000 cavalry is a fool's dream, but Huiling City has not yet been destroyed. There should have been 8,000 defenders in Huiling City. Thousands of people, it is possible to give Nanliang Army a urn to catch turtles!

Otherwise, if the delay continues, once the Nanliang army arrives, I am afraid that Huiling City will be really dangerous.

"Master Shizi!" At this time, Wu Chenming wiped the blood from his face and reported, "The gate of Huiling City has been opened."

"it is good!"

Xiao Yi picked up the heavy bow hanging on the side of the horse, and a long arrow was placed on the bowstring.

The bowstring was easily pulled away, until the bow was full, his hand was suddenly released, and the long arrow roared out with a sound of breaking through the air...

Snapped!

The banner of the commander of the Nanliang Army was cut off, and the city of Huiling erupted in cheers.

Morale boosted.

"kill!"

Xiao Yi shouted violently and rode out ahead of his soldiers...

...

At this moment, Nangong Yue, who was far away in Luoyue City, suddenly woke up with a start, and felt a burst of heat. She sat up on the bed and wiped the back of her neck, where it was already wet with sweat.

The night was silent except for the occasional sound of cicadas outside.

Thrush, who was on duty at night, heard the movement in the inner room, got up in a hurry, walked in, and asked in a low voice: "Prince Prince, are you alright?"

When Xiao Yi was in the mansion, the maids didn't need to be on duty at night, but now there is only Nangong Yue alone, and several big maids have taken turns arranging shifts.

Thrush's voice made Nangong Yue a little awake and said, "I'm fine, I just woke up hot..."

Thrush hurriedly went into the inner room, poured cold boiled water for Nangong Yue, and went out to change the ice basin, and the room gradually became cooler.

After sending Thrush out, Nangong Yue still couldn't sleep, so she came to the beautiful couch in front of the window in her middle clothes and sat down.

She pushed open the window and looked far southeast.

That's the direction of Huiling City...

It wasn't until it was dawn that Nangong Yue fell asleep for a while. Thrush knew that she hadn't slept well last night and did not dare to disturb her early in the morning, so she woke up a stick of incense a little later than usual and used it earlier. After the meal, he moved to the director of Xihong Hall.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Nangong Yuedun felt that the heat was unbearable. It was only a matter of time now, but the scorching sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth like a fireball. people.

"It's getting hotter and hotter these days." Nangong Yue frowned slightly.

"Yeah, Concubine Shi!" Thrush who was following couldn't help complaining, "I'm sweating when I don't move, and several of the little maids in the house have caught the heat in the past few days."

Nangong Yue pondered for a while, and said, "Thrush, you will tell me to go down in a while, so that the maids and mother-in-law in Bixiaotang will not clean the courtyard at noon recently, to avoid the heat. Sprinkling or something should be arranged before sunrise or after sunset. Bar."

Thrush hurriedly thanked Nangong Yue for those rough maids, and took orders.

When Nangong Yue arrived at Xihong Hall, several stewards in silk and silver were already waiting under the eaves. When they saw Nangong Yue, they all bowed their knees and saluted: "I have seen the prince."

Nangong Yue motioned them to avoid the ceremony, and a group of people entered the Xihong Hall with her as the center.

Nangong Yue sat down on the Grand Master's chair, and after giving it a seat, several stewards sat on the tucks brought by the little maid.

First, Mother Lu reported that because of the hot weather recently, the consumption of ice cubes was greater than previously expected. She had already told Butler Zhu, and Nangong Yue only warned that the ice in the Yu Pavilion and Yunli Court must not be less. .

Following that, the other stewards also reported one by one. When it was the turn of the auntie in the sewing room, she sat there in a daze, and did not move for a long time, as if she was in a trance.

A fat mama beside her quietly pulled her cuff, and she suddenly came back to her senses, but when she stood up, she bumped into the twig behind her, and made a "kick" sound, which was extremely harsh, and the others The stewards all looked at her in unison.

Mother Qu hurriedly replied respectfully: "Concubine Shizi, the sewing room is about to start making summer... No, Qiuyi is no longer available. In the past, Qiuyi was used by every maid and woman alone, and this servant wanted to ask Concubine Shizi to see if she would return the clothes. As usual?"

Nangong Yue thought about it and said, "The autumn clothes will be as usual, but I guess this summer will be a bit long, maybe it will be hot until the beginning of October. Your sewing room should make up a summer clothes for everyone first, and then start sewing. Autumn clothes."

When the little maids in the hall heard that they were wearing new summer clothes, they all smiled and exchanged glances happily.

Aunt Qu responded with a blessing: "Yes, Concubine Shizi, this servant will order the people below to start tailoring autumn clothes for everyone..." As she spoke, her eyes were a little straight, and she didn't realize that she was wrong. .

Madam Lu coughed impatiently, trying to remind Madam Qu.

Seeing Qu Ma's absent-mindedness and her answer in a different way, Nangong Yue frowned slightly. It's not the first time she has dealt with this Qu mama. She usually sees the other party as a very capable person. Maybe something happened...

Nangong Yue asked in a deep voice, "Mother Qu, do you have something to report?"

Mother Qu was shocked, and then she came back to her senses. For fear of being punished, she knelt down in a panic and pleaded guilty: "Prince Concubine, please forgive me. My servant's little granddaughter has been ill recently, and my servant was a little worried, so for a while God." She said timidly.

Seeing Mother Qu's appearance, Nangong Yue guessed that it might not be a simple cold and cough, and asked again, "What's wrong?"

Mammy Qu was both anxious and worried in her heart, and she couldn't hide her trembling voice: "Concubine Yi Shi, the granddaughter of this servant may have suffered from heat stroke, vomiting and diarrhea. I took some wormwood water last night, but this morning I still vomited! "Seeing how her granddaughter almost spit out jaundice, Qu Mo frowned tightly.

Nangong Yue squinted her eyes slightly, her expression a little dignified, and she couldn't help but remember what Thrush told her about the recent heatstroke among many little maids... These days, the weather is indeed getting hotter, the elderly and children are frail, and they are afraid of this summer. It's been bad.

"Get up first." Nangong Yue instructed, "Baihui, go and get some anti-heat medicine I made for Qu Momo..."

Baihui is busy taking orders.

"Slave maid, thank you, the concubine!" Mammy Qu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the concubine didn't blame the concubine, and gave medicine. I heard that Concubine Shizi is a divine doctor, so this must be a divine medicine, right? !

Nangong Yue said again: "Mother Qu, since your granddaughter is seriously ill, you should go back early and get her a doctor. Don't delay her illness, and a minor illness will become a serious illness!"

Baihui walked up to Mammy Qu and said politely, "Mammy, go to the corner and wait for me. When I get the medicine, I'll send it to you."

"Thank you, Miss Baihui." Mammy Qu was grateful and left Xihong Hall with Baihui in tandem.

Following this, the other stewards continued to report to Nangong Yue for instructions, and received the right card... After about a stick of incense, these trivial matters were finally dealt with, and the stewards retired together.

Nangong Yue yawned a little tiredly. It was indeed getting hotter and hotter these two days. Although there was an ice basin in Xihong Hall, she also felt stuffy after sitting for so long.

It is conceivable that those people will be even more difficult to endure...

Nangong Yue frowned slightly and said, "Queer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, do you know how the situation in the city is?"

Queer immediately understood that Nangongyue was worried about the heat, and after rationalizing her thoughts, she replied in an orderly manner: "Concubine Hui Shi, the slave servant went to the eldest girl's tea shed according to your instructions yesterday. After the servants had a cup of herbal tea, the servants hid in the tea shed. These days, the eldest girl's tea shed is often full, especially when the sun is the biggest around noon, and the women who help are hardly busy, so Miss Han only went there to help at that time. The noon sun these past few days is really vicious, and the servants sat in the tea shed for less than a stick of incense, and saw four or five people on their way with signs of heat stroke , was sent to the tea shed to rest. Fortunately, it was not serious. Miss Han poured them two cups of hot herbal tea. After sweating a little, they recovered. The slaves heard that passers-by in the tea shed said that they were using tea. The person is truly infinite in merit!"

Nangong Yue listened thoughtfully. Next, I'm afraid the heat will become more and more severe. I'm afraid that tea alone may not be enough... Maybe I have to think of other ways.

While thinking about it, I heard the voice of a little maid saluting from outside: "I have seen the big girl!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fei, who was dressed in a misty cloud-patterned robe, came slowly into the room.

After the two met the ceremony, Nangong Yue said: "Sister Fei, you came just in time, I was going to see the king, why don't you accompany me?"

See your father? Xiao Fei was slightly startled, but did not ask more, and went with her to the outer study of King Zhennan.

Their luck was not bad. King Zhennan didn't go to the military camp today and was handling official business in the study. Bai Shao respectfully led them in.

After bowing to King Zhennan, Nangong Yue said obediently, "Father, my daughter-in-law wants to apply medicine in the city with Sister Fei..."

King Zhennan squinted slightly and looked at Nangong Yue with a little scrutiny.

Nangong Yue continued to speak indifferently: "Father, my daughter-in-law and Miss Fu Liu went to the teahouse to drink tea yesterday, and I happened to hear someone talking about the Fang family, and in the middle they also mentioned our palace. The Fang family is an in-law of the palace, so it's no wonder ..." She deliberately paused, with a look of helplessness on her face, "Father, Wang, as long as the daughter-in-law thinks about the damage to the reputation of the palace, she will toss and turn and sleepless all night. The daughter-in-law thinks about it and thinks that she should do some kind deeds to bring blessings. Yumin, it's better to revive the reputation of our palace in the second place!"

King Zhennan was a little haggard when he saw her appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Those incidents in the Fang family were too ugly, and they were both disobedient and **, and together they made Zhennan Wangfu's reputation flawed, and it became a topic of conversation for the common people. Although no one dared to talk in front of King Zhennan, there were some things he didn't know.

He thought about it carefully, and felt that Nangong Yue's proposal was indeed good. The application of medicine is to do good. It can not only improve the reputation and prestige of the palace, but also divert the attention of the people in the city from the scandal of the Fang family...

The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was a good idea. When he looked up at Nangong Yue, his eyes showed some appreciation. This prince concubine is worthy of being the daughter of a famous family, and she has the style of the mistress of the palace in handling affairs.

Xiao Fang's family has become more and more different recently. It is not appropriate to let a side concubine take care of the central feeder in the palace. Maybe you can let the princely concubine try it...

And Xiao Fei...

King Zhennan glanced at Xiao Fei quickly and thought to himself: Sister Fei used to only know how to read, but now that she has been with the princess for a long time, she has a bit of the bearing of a princess in the palace.

"Okay, just do as you wish, Concubine Shizi!" King Zhennan said resolutely, "Later, the king orders someone to go to the accountant to get a thousand taels of silver, you can use it first... As for manpower and purchasing, Concubine Shizi, you can use it first. You can figure it out for yourself, your mother is still feeling sick recently, so don't bother her."

Is this completely empty Xiao Fang? That's right, King Zhennan has such a good face, and the affairs of the Fang family's third house are enough to make him dislike the little Fang. Nangong Yue thought so, she lowered her brows and said happily with Xiao Fei, "Thank you, Father."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Even the originally dull study seemed to have become much more relaxed and natural because of their brisk smiles.

King Zhennan stroked his beard with satisfaction. If he remembered correctly, in five days, it would be the concubine's wedding ceremony. Maybe he should give her some face...
