The Tatar Steel Cavalry traversed the plains that had long since been bitten flat by the Red River Gu.
The people on horseback were awe-inspiring and high-spirited.
Yuwen Jue, who was sitting on the horse carriage, was also dressed in black robes. Under his lead, this army seemed to be an invincible army that wanted to conquer and unify the four seas.
However, the door to the Yanzhou City was already closed.
The banner with the word "Yuwen" on top of the city gate tower was fluttering in the wind, along with the Commander Flag.
His aura was awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.
No matter how slow Yuwen Jue was, he finally understood what was going on.
Was everything he had planned going to end just like that?
No, how could he be willing?
"Everyone listen up, I only want the two brothers Yuwen He and Yuwen Xiao's heads. As for the rest of the people, I am not afraid of death. There's still time to open the gates and surrender! "
"What arrogant words you have there." A teasing voice came from the tower.
At least seventy to eighty percent similar to Yuwen He's, a face peeked out from the city gate tower.
The Tatar Army below the city gate was surrounded. Yuwen Jue, who was leading the way, sat in the carriage, but he could not figure out what was going on, so he withdrew his gaze.
But in that short period of time, Yuwen Jue who was in the carriage came out, and used a movement technique and stood on the carriage.
"The one on top of the city gate tower should be the Great General Yuwen Xiao of the Western Xia, right? Is it not enough for you to live your twenty-odd years of life under the shadow of your elder brother? You still want to work for him now? "
"What do you mean?"
"You and him are siblings, the same father and the same mother. Why can't you be the emperor when he becomes one?"
Yuwen Xiao said in a serious tone, his last words sounding extremely long, "So you were trying to sow discord, but are you forgetful? You just said that you wanted us two brothers' lives, and then you came to persuade me to rebel, aren't you afraid of your tongue cutting off your own feet like this?"
Good boy, you have some skill.
A trace of hostility flashed past Yuwen Jue's eyes, and he said coldly, "There's a saying, 'You refuse a toast and eat a forfeit'. Great General should have heard of it, right?"
"Of course, this is an old saying of us Chinese. I heard that you, Imperial Advisor, are also a Chinese, so you should have heard of it since you were young." "Don't tell me that you are already so old that you think these words belong to a Tatar citizen?"
Yuwen Xiao said, then ridiculed, "My apologies, my brother is busy accompanying his wife, he is not in the city right now. Before he left, he gave me full authority over you. Rest assured, I definitely am more than enough to deal with you. "
Very good!
How dare he waste time with him!
Yuwen Jue's face turned cold, and instructed Meng Huo in a clear voice: "Do it!"
Meng Huo quickly said: "Attack!"
The sound of the war drums rang out one after another, deafening everyone.
When the ladders were set up, the Tatar Army climbed up the ladders, followed by a group of men in black clothing who jumped out one after another. They carried flying claws and hooks with them, and flew up on top of the Tatar Army, using the bodies of the soldiers as stepping stones, and threw the flying claws and hooks at the city walls.
Yuwen Xiao who was on the city gate tower was naturally not someone who would wait for them to climb the city gate tower.
Yuwen Xiao took a step back while Vice General Yang waved his flag and led the archers forward.
Tens of thousands of arrows shot out.
In an instant, arrows rained down from the sky.
Miserable wails and screams rang out incessantly.
But the pace of the siege did not slow at all.
Tatar was already determined to get the country's weapons.
Yuwen Xiao held an iron bow in his hand, nocked it with arrows and aimed at the carriage beneath the city gate tower.
With a "sou" sound, the arrow flew out along with the thunderous force of the arrow.
An arrow pierced the roof of the carriage.
The next moment, the carriage broke apart and the two people left the carriage at the same time.
Yes, two.
One was Yuwen Jue, and the other was Feng Yuting who followed wherever he went.
The horse started to run.
"Brat, aim at least a bit if you want to hit me!" Yuwen Jue, who had escaped death, spouted nonsense.
Yuwen Xiao expressionlessly took out another arrow and aimed it at him, but before the arrow was shot, a few people suddenly rushed towards Yuwen Jue, and by the time they moved, he had already lost his target.
"Stinking brat, do you really think that you, a three-legged cat, can do anything to me?!" A figure suddenly flew under the city gate tower, Yuwen Xiao was caught unprepared by the incoming force.
Instinctively, he dodged to the side in the chaos. The sharp blade sliced across his cheek, and blood immediately appeared after the pain.
Just like that, a sharp white blade covered in blood came crashing down from above …
The sunlight slowly disappeared from the other side of the forest.
The daylight in the tree house disappeared much faster than in the outside world.
Tang Ze and Weng Dai fiddled with the wood for a while, until a small basket was weaved from the flexible parts of the branches, while Tang Ze used a piece of wood to carve out a blurry female statue.
The woman in the wood carving had not carved a single face. Weng Dai saw that it was fresh, the moment Tang Ze put it down, he immediately picked it up and made some gestures. His gaze landed on Xiao Ruyue, who was lying on the only bed in the tree house.
"Why does this woman's body look so much like hers?"
Without saying a word, Tang Ze took the wooden sculpture back from him, changing his usual mischievous smile from before and coldly said: "Don't touch my things!"
"Stingy, when we went to the Yanzhou City to meet the Emperor, didn't you pretend to be afraid of me? Now you don't even want to let me touch anything? "
"You said it was faked."
Tang Ze put the wooden sculpture in his pocket and directly walked to the front of the bed.
He said condescendingly: "After pretending to be asleep for so long, you should have had enough, right?"
Weng Dai let out a "Ya" sound, only to see the originally unconscious girl slowly sitting up, smiling at them without panicking.
Weng Dai was startled, then smiled: "Why did I think that you two were novices and would let your guard down at the beginning? Woman, you do have some ability. "
"Thank you for your praise, Weng Dai." Xiao Ruyue's expression did not change, he remained composed and continued, "However, compared to my master, I am just a novice who just entered the sect. I can't even count as one who knows anything, and am not worthy of being praised by Master Weng Dai."
"Stop putting on an act!" Weng Dai bellowed angrily at her, he turned his head and stared straight at Tang Ze, "When did you find out that she was pretending to be asleep?"
Tang Ze scoffed, "She probably hasn't fainted since the beginning."
"What?!"
Weng Dai was extremely shocked.
"Impossible, my beloved Gu worm has always been invincible, invincible! How could this woman have not been tricked from the start! "
Tang Ze stared straight at Xiao Ruyue and said: "I am not too sure about this, I will have to ask the Empress herself. "I was just guessing."
Xiao Ruyue secretly clenched her fists.
In the end, she had still been tricked by Tang Ze. It was as Tang Waner and Yuwen He had said, he was extremely cunning.
But at this point, she had no way out.
She only hoped that Yuwen He would be able to find the clue she left behind and chase after her.
And her precious worms.
Even though Xiao Ruyue was a little nervous in her heart, her expression was still as calm as ever. She tilted her head and sized up Tang Ze and Weng Dai, saying with an innocent face: "Could it be that before you came, Yuwen Jue and Feng Yuting did not warn you two to be careful of me?"
Her words reminded Weng Dai. Only then did he remember that the old teacher from Tatar, who was even more mysterious than him, had told him that the Western Xia Emperor had a strong woman by his side.
Could it be this pregnant woman?
Xiao Ruyue arrogantly met Weng Dai's probing eyes, "There is a saying: the most venomous woman. A woman's appearance looks weak and can be bullied, but if you really think I can be bullied, then you're completely wrong. This saying has not been passed down in vain. "
Xiao Ruyue rested her chin on her hand and smiled, her smile was extremely charming.
The red pattern on Weng Dai's face disappeared, and he stared at Xiao Ruyue with his black face: "Where did you come from?"
"So this Western Xia empress was actually the princess of the East Mausoleum. The two nations' marriage alliance, no, the three kingdoms' marriage alliance, was very lively at that time."
Tang Ze helped Weng Dai answer the question, and then glanced at Xiao Ruyue: "I never thought that the princess of East Mausoleum, the empress of Western Xia, would also have such unbelievable ability.
Xiao Ruyue smiled faintly as she hugged the blanket and sat down, "Young Master Tang, if you can kill your own good brother and make a puppet, what's wrong with me raising a few bugs in the palace?"
Tang Ze's face that had been maintaining that seemingly gentle and gentle scholarly look froze for a moment, and the coldness in his eyes slowly seeped out, causing chills to run down one's spine.
"It seems like the empress knows my past very well. Do you want to become one of my collections right away?"
How could Xiao Ruyue be someone who was willing to show weakness?
She gave a light snort and smiled: "To become a puppet with six bodies, or to cut open my stomach and take out my child? If you use the knife, your stomach will not look good. "
The expression on Tang Ze's face stiffened, "The Empress is indeed worthy of being the mother of a nation. She has guts, and she has guts." Only after that did he regain his usual chilliness.
"Young Master Tang is flattering me." The empress was still calm and composed, not even the slightest bit of panic could be seen on her face.
Weng Dai who was at the side took the chance to take out his bamboo flute and started to play.
In an instant, countless poisonous insects swarmed into the small tree house from beneath the tree.
A black mass!
Tang Ze took two steps back and leaned against Weng Dai. All of the bugs rushed towards Xiao Ruyue and crawled onto her bed.
Xiao Ruyue frowned, and then bit her own finger.
The bright red blood splattered on the wooden edge of the bed. The bugs that were about to climb into the bed seemed to smell something and stopped moving.
Xiao Ruyue muttered in her heart. Something was squirming in her palm through her skin, and those poisonous bugs all retreated backwards as if they had sensed something extremely terrifying.
Even the vital Gu that Weng Dai was nurturing started to become inexplicably restless, scurrying around in his body.
Weng Dai suddenly took in a breath of cold air, and his stomach immediately felt unbearable pain.
The thing wiggling in Xiao Ruyue's hand was getting closer and closer to where her fingers had bitten into.
Very quickly, a dark golden antenna appeared from the wound …
