When Sikongyan heard the news that the river crossing operation had failed again, he immediately broke the tea cup in his hand.

It took a whole night to send hundreds of elites dressed in water to go down the river to clean up barbs. After losing more than a dozen lives, finally this morning, the barbs in one direction were cleaned up.

After that, a small boat was quickly sent to try to cross the river again, but the last tragedy was repeated.

It turned out that the imperial concubine had already stored a lot of barbed iron plates on the Linjiang Tower. Once it was cleared out, the other end would immediately be thrown away.

On the contrary, the water is shallow and can't accommodate big boats, so these boats can only be used to cross the river.

A small riverside building, a short waterway of several hundred meters. It turned into an insurmountable moat that was blocking tens of thousands of elites. No wonder Sikongyan couldn't help but turn the table up.

The guard leader Yan Qingtian frowned and said, "Why is it so troublesome? Just attack directly."

Han Changwen touched his beard: "I'm afraid that the jade bottle will be hurt by hitting a mouse."

Sikongyan is full of anxiety. He is not a person of **** and desire. In terms of beauty and great cause, it can be seen which is lighter and more important. For the sake of the overall situation, it is enough to kill the concubine. Now the headache is that there are still above. A large number of hostages. More than a dozen concubines from noble backgrounds. Let alone other things, there are always many daughters in the clan family, and Sikoyan can also take care of them. But Queen Wei is Wei's prostitute, and Wei Xi's **** is also a famous short-term favorite.

If he really killed Queen Wei, he would never let it go.

"Master, it's better to send someone to ask Prime Minister Wei for instructions." Han Changwen reported that Prime Minister Wei did not have the ills of a woman like Wei Xi.

Sikongyan nodded with a sullen face, and then asked, "Where has Zuo Bingfan gone?"

"I have reached the foot of Gongshan Mountain, and I can reach the palace before dusk."

Sikongyan's gloomy expression finally eased slightly. Far away from the fief, there are not many people available around him. Although Webster's original intention to support him this time, it always makes him feel uneasy. In particular, Prime Minister Wei didn't agree with him directly ascending to that position. Instead, he asked Sikonglin to abdicate and let the virtuous people take the lead in the name of the regent.

Before the action, he also sent some elites from the fief to sneak into Gyeonggi in batches, but unfortunately there were only six to seven thousand people, led by Yan Qingtian. This time the palace change is a risky fight.

Fortunately, there is Zuo Bingfan. He still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers who have just withdrawn from northern Xinjiang. Coupled with the follow-up soldiers and horses rushing over from his fief and arriving one after another, he doesn't have to look at Wei Xi's face like this.

The setting sun sinks into the sky, and the sunset glow dyes the sky red for a long time, as if splashed with blood.

Yuan Luo wore a cloak and walked in the woods outside Linjiang Tower.

The offensive and defensive battle for this small building has lasted three days and two nights.

Once planted with exotic flowers and plants, the beautiful islands have become chaotic everywhere. Fire oil barrels, barbed iron plates, and messy things piled up on the ground. Hundreds of palace people are busy, they are all Jin Linsi's staff. Seeing Yuan Luo approaching, she bowed and saluted silently.

Close to the shore, you can see **** corpses from time to time. Many of the soldiers who died in the river these days have been washed to this side. No one cares about them. They have been soaked and swollen.

The cruel scene greeted her eyes, and Yuan Luo didn't even have a trace of waves in her heart. Even Queen Wei did not have the violent reaction of seeing the carrion in Shouxian Palace.

Such things as dead people have become a habit when they see more.

This cruel world!

Traveling to the present, Yuan Luo was so close to death for the first time. As time passed, she began to feel fear. If Miao Zifang did not return the aid in time, if Lu Bingzhong did not receive the news...

It turns out that seeing more death will not reduce the panic about death, but will make people more anxious.

But she can't leak a bit of this anxiety. In this small Linjiang Tower, she is the backbone of everyone. Whether it is the Jinlinsi palace people who obey orders, or those concubines who stay in the room obediently waiting for fate. Tens of thousands of rebels were besieged outside, and the place they were guarding was not even an isolated city. It was just a dilapidated attic. The only wall was a river several hundred meters outside.

Such a disparity between the enemy and ourselves, such a desperate battle, everyone is under heavy pressure. Once she shows the slightest fear, the heart will completely collapse.

These days, she tried her best to show a calm aura, so the defensive action was so orderly and effective.

She stared at the far shore, and a shadow appeared deep in her heart. There was a big flaw in the defense of Linjiang Tower. There were no lack of wise men around Sikongyan, and she must have noticed it. It is not easy to start just because of the hostages.

Once the situation deteriorates, the other party has made up his mind, and he cannot resist it.

"What did you say?" Si Kongyan squeezed this sentence out between his teeth.

The messenger soldier kneeling on the mountain can only bite the bullet and repeat: "Return to the prince, according to the horse inspection, Tianwuwei Jingqi was found in the northern part of the palace, the number is about 3,000, and the distance is only 30 miles. I am afraid that two hours. Then you will arrive at the palace."

Zuo Bingfan also looked surprised.

He had just arrived at the palace with his troops, Sikong Yan was happily welcoming him, the general, to discuss the next strategy plan. Without saying a word, such bad news came in a blink of an eye.

Miao Zifang came too soon!

Gu Yi, won't they open their trump cards later...

"Master, we can't delay any longer, we must capture Linjiang Tower!" Han Changwen said hurriedly.

In a palace change, the most critical victory is to guarantee the victory of the foolish emperor and the vicious temptress. If the army led by Miao Zifang arrives, their palace change will become a joke.

"Master, I will ask to burn the building by hand at the end." Yan Qingtian immediately knelt down and asked.

Sikoyan's eyes flashed decisively, "Do it now!" In the face of life and death, whether or not Webster opposed it was no longer within his consideration.

Once determined, the efficiency of hands-on is faster than expected. Yan Qingtian ordered dozens of small boats to row to the outside of the barbs at the bottom of the river, carrying rockets, kerosene, etc.

Shooting an arrow in the turbulent water waves, his head was diverted thousands of miles, and he would fall into the river if he was not careful. But this trip was not for shooting people. As long as the rocket falls above Linjiang, it is enough.

The entire Linjiang Tower is built with steel as the bone and wood as the quality. There are many flowers and trees and big trees outside the building. It is autumn and it is drying.

Continuous rockets fell, sparks everywhere, and there was no time to save them.

Yuan Luo in the tall building went straight down, and Dong Hai Wang and Wei Xi actually used this method. In her idea, this is the most defenseless strategy.

In the stalemate that lasted for three days, Si Kongyan never used this method of burning jade and stone. At this moment, he took the risk with only one reason.

Miao Zifang went south to rescue!

Yuan Luo didn't know whether to be happy or sorrowful. Probably the former has the upper hand,

Fortunately, Si Konglin was sent away one step earlier.

As the fire outside got bigger and bigger, the whole building became chaotic. There were hundreds of concubines and palace people trapped in the building. Before Yuan Luo's high-pressure methods, they could only obey. At this time, the tall buildings burst into flames, and they fled for their lives.

At the same time, there were dense arrows shot in from outside the building, and from time to time, palace officials screamed and fell to the ground.

The situation was in chaos. Many people rushed out of the building. Qing Hong and the others wanted to stop, but Yuan Luo stopped him.

To trap these people in the building now is not to be a hostage, but to be a victim. Once the opponent is not threatened, the role of the hostage is completely lost.

In a moment, the entire Linjiang Tower and the island on the lake became a **** of rising flames. The palace people were forced to the shore, like a group of panicked lambs.

Yuan Luo ordered Qinghong and the others to take out the airbags that had been prepared and distributed them to everyone. The airbags tied with cowhide barely kept people floating on the water. At the same time, they ordered people to take back the barbs placed in the water on all sides of Linjiang Tower.

She was not so decisive. She really got to this point and would not die with these innocent people.

In the ever-increasing fire, concubines and court ladies kept jumping into the water holding airbags. Whether they can survive the stormy sea depends on luck. Even some people from Jinlinsi, without waiting for instructions, couldn't wait to jump into the river.

At the time of life and death, nothing can be considered.

Yuan Luo ordered Qinghong and the others to escape separately, and reminded them to try their best to escape up the river, and then went into the back building alone.

The corpses were everywhere in the spacious hall, and most of them were shot to death by random arrows. The flame swallowed the gorgeous beautiful curtain, Yuan Luo walked to a little concubine and stopped.

The bow and arrow shot from the back killed the young girl with a single blow, her beautiful face was full of dying fear.

That face was a bit familiar, it seemed that it was Dou Meiren who had just crossed over and talked badly about herself with Liu Cairen and was caught.

Yuan Luo hesitated for a moment, took out a small box from her arms, bent over and stuffed it into her arms. Then he got up and ran back upstairs quickly.

When she arrived at the back building, she ran into Queen Wei, who was staggering, holding an airbag with a desperate face. Even though she was threatened by Yuan Luo's various threats before, she never thought that she was really facing life and death.

"Where are you going!" She held Yuan Luo's skirt corner. At this moment of life hanging by a thread, all grievances are forgotten.

Yuan Luo came to the water, took off the complicated long skirt outside, and threw it aside. "What are you delaying, don't you leave soon."

Queen Wei looked at the turbulent water and took a step back in fear. "I can't swim!"

Turning his head, he saw Yuan Luo doing some strange movements, dancing and dancing.

Queen Wei opened her mouth wide, "What are you doing, are you crazy?" It was **** again, and dancing here again. The concubine found her plan failed and was about to die, so she was crazy.

Yuan Luo ignored her. In the late summer and early autumn, the water in the summer palace was very cold. In order to avoid cramps in her hands and feet when entering the water, she had to make preparations.

Compared with the palace people who are holding airbags and drifting with the flow, she has to swim farther to escape the sight of the rebels.

Feeling almost active, Yuan Luo came to the water and clung to the railing.

Queen Wei screamed, and suddenly went up to grab her: "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? Of course you escaped by swimming. This place will burn up soon." Yuan Luoyan said concisely, "If you can't swim, find a wooden table or something, plus the airbag on your body. Float quietly in the water, just don't choke on the water."

She raised her hand and stroked Queen Wei's cheek, "Try to stay in the water as long as possible, someone will come to save you. Your good brother still misses you."

Empress Wei cried all of a sudden.

"He doesn't care about me. If he cares about me, how can he burn me here."

The flames behind them got bigger and bigger, and the hot wind rushed to the side with sparks, their skin hurting.

"Stupid girl, he is good enough, but these men, compared to the major events of the family, the country, and the world, they have to stand back in their feelings." Yuan Luo's rare words softened, after all, this time parting, I don't know. Can you meet again alive?

After the explanation, she turned and jumped into the water. The cold river water covered the whole body. Yuan Luo stretched out her hands and feet, and before she started swimming forward, she heard a plop behind her.

It was Queen Wei who also jumped down with her.

Yuan Luo steadied her posture, turned her head and looked around. Empress Wei fluttered like a stupid duck, choking in a few saliva in a moment.

This stupid girl is really going to kill herself, because the airbag given to her is still the best.

Yuan Luo hesitated for a moment, then swam to her side, "Don't move around, hold your posture."

The airbags on the two of them are all exquisite versions, that is, dozens of small airbags are connected, and they are no different from the life jackets of their lives.

Empress Wei had already taken a few sips of water, half dead.

Yuan Luo could only hold her and swim to the shore with great effort.

Before entering the water, she had observed that most of the escape routes of the palace people were downstream, close to the land.

So she chose the farthest river bank, against the turbulent current.

When I arrived, I was exhausted.

After spending the last bit of effort, she crawled to the shore, and by the way brought the big burden ashore. After that, Yuan Luo lay on the shore like a dead fish, and didn't even want to move a finger.

***

When Wei Xi heard the news, he almost ran to the river.

He never expected that Sikongyan would dare to be so frantic and directly burn Linjiang Tower.

There is a more tragic scene waiting for him by the river. Yan Qingtian guarded the river bank with his trusted soldiers. Anyone who was caught up or climbed up on their own was caught and questioned. A slight resistance is a complete cut and blood splattered.

Those lucky enough to escape, were all driven to the open space behind, like a flock of chickens and ducks. Weeping everywhere, the concubine and maidservant, the master and the slave servant were all in a mess.

"Who let you do it!" Knowing that Queen Wei was not found among the people who climbed ashore, Wei Xi's anger almost turned into flames, burning on the bank of the river.

Yan Qingtian took a step back, stubbing his neck and said: "It is the order of the prince, and Prime Minister Wei has no objection, please do not interfere."

Interference...Wei Xi stared at the Linjiang Tower, which had been burnt red, with red eyes.

According to the news received, not only the younger sister, but also the person is in the building!

Yan Qingtian is still urging: "General, the elite of Tianwuwei has been killed, please dispatch troops and horses quickly and prepare to meet the enemy."

"Face the enemy?" Wei Xi turned to stare at him, her eyes flushed.

Yan Qingtian felt a cool air from his heel to his forehead.

Following the compelling killing intent, Wei Xi suddenly drew the long sword around his waist, the sharp blade pierced the void, and went straight to Yan Qingtian's throat.

Yan Qingtian was also a battle-tested master, immediately raising his knife to block.

The sound of weapons fighting was particularly harsh on the noisy and boiling river bank.

Seeing the two generals fought, the soldiers all around were shocked and quickly backed away.

With a cold sweat, Han Changwen leaned forward to persuade anxiously: "Don't fight, don't fight! Don't worry about the general, the fire in the building, everyone has jumped into the river to escape, we have also sent people into the water to respond to prevent the nobles from drowning. In the river. The only soldiers who beheaded just now were all palace slaves who committed the chaos. There is absolutely no concubine!"

What he said was right. Strict investigation was just to catch the emperor and concubine as soon as possible. As long as they did not resist, they did not rush to exterminate them.

Considering the overall situation, Wei Xi's face was gloomy and finally stopped.

Facing Yan Qingtian, he could only slam a sentence: "If the person is gone, take your life to accompany him." Turning and leaving.
