Yueze: "The other food is in the process of being prepared. Bring it up immediately!"
As he spoke, he tore a piece of chicken with his hand and brought it to my mouth. "Your hand won't work, I'll feed it to you!"
Looking at his gentle and joyous expression, my heart was moved. I opened my mouth as if by some miracle … Even if the chicken had been poisoned, I would not hesitate to eat it now, and Yueze's eyes were in fact the most potent poison. I think I'll just sip it, sip it!
Yueze had taken over Carlin Pass himself, and had been discussing with the general about how to deal with the enemy for the past few days.
The military strength of Nan Yu was not as good as Cang Wu's, and Cang Wu was personally led by the Emperor this time. One could see Yan Hua's determination in this battle, hence Yue Ze was very careful with this matter.
I lay back in bed and didn't participate in their discussion. After eating three roast chickens, although I felt that I had recovered most of my physical strength and that my fingers had been bandaged, Yueze treated me a little too well. He always let me stay in his room to rest, but of course, he stayed in the outer room while I stayed in the inner room.
Originally, I was quite uncomfortable with such arrangements. After all, he was the emperor, and I was only his female official. I should have been the one serving him.
However, Yueze said to me in a low voice, "If you live close enough, I can take care of you myself. If I put you next door, it would be inconvenient for me to go. "
Looking at the concern in his eyes, I felt a sweet shyness in my heart, and once again I deeply appreciated the beauty of my first love.
No, my relationship with him now should be considered to be a passionate love, right? "Haha, the taste of passionate love is so wonderful ~
Since the beauty is insistent, I will do as she says.
After lying in bed for a few days, Yueze had a discussion with the generals and finally decided to use water to attack and seize Liujiang City. Naturally, no one had any objections to his suggestion, so he told me about it.
"Liujiang City is the military stronghold of Nan Yu. I have come personally this time to take it back." Yueze said confidently, "That's why we invited the Protector of the Kingdom to prepare a water attack to take back Liujiang City."
"Water Attack Technique?"
I was surprised.
Yueze explained to me in detail... As it turned out, the Southern Yu Army and the Cang Army did not have an advantage in battle, so Yueze intended to use his own strength to attack the other side. In other words, he had to drain the river to attack Liujiang City. The majority of the Ashbals came from the north. They were unfamiliar with the city, and few knew how to swim, so water attacks would be fatal for them.
"Drainage of river water to flood River City?" When I heard this, I became a little worried. "But what about the citizens of Liujiang City?"
Even though Liujiang City had been captured, Yan Hua had already given the order for the Cang Wu Army to maintain law and order and not to disturb the people. Thus, the citizens of Liujiang City were still living in the city and did not flee. If the city was flooded with water, the Cang soldiers who didn't know how to swim would drown, but what about the innocent people?
Yue Ze said, "You can rest assured. In order to carry out this plan, I have already ordered Ran Mo and the others to sneak into the city a few days ago, secretly informing the small and small citizens to prepare ahead of time for their response. Moreover, there are always floods in Liujiang City, so the families of the residents in the city have more escape items. However, we are not familiar with the Cang Army's Xuanjiang City, so we will definitely not be able to avoid the flood, and we can only wait for our deaths. "
I nodded in agreement.
At this time, the maid brought the cloak over. Yue Ze took it over and personally helped me put it on. He then took out a pearl from his pocket and said, "Isn't it good for you to swim in water with me? This is the Water Repelling Pearl. If you wear it, you will be able to avoid being flooded. At that time, if I am unable to take care of everything, you can use it to protect your life. "
He hung a bead tied with a red string carefully around my neck. The pearl was about the size of a thumb. It was white and transparent, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a sparkling radiance circulating within it. It was extremely beautiful.
I touched the bead. My chest was very warm, but when I looked up at Liujiang City, which was flying with the Cang Wu Flag, there was a trace of apprehension in my heart … Finally, it was time for a showdown between the two armies? Should I have saved him if the Cang army had been flooded and Yan Hua was in danger?
"Hong'er, what are you thinking about?" Yueze asked, stroking my long hair.
I looked away and shook my head.
Yueze was preparing to attack three days later, because the Imperial Advisor had said that it would rain the next day, which would help with the water attack.
Yueze ordered his men to prepare, and everything began on the third night. However, on the second night, before the altar was set up, drumbeats could be heard coming from outside the pass.
Everyone rushed to the top of the wall and saw that the horn was blowing and dust was billowing. They had actually launched a sneak attack at night, attempting to attack the city!
I gawked down at the glittering Cang soldiers, their armor shining like fish scales in the torchlight.
There are a lot of people... The Cang army was almost at full strength! Are they going to launch a general attack tonight?
Yue Ze was also shocked, looking down at the enemy from above. Then he said to the State Grandmaster, "State Grandmaster, is the altar ready? It looked like they had to plan ahead of time!
The Imperial Advisor was sweating profusely. He busied himself with the altar for some time before finally replying, "Your majesty, the altar is barely feasible!"
Yue Ze nodded his head and immediately sent down orders for everyone to take their positions. Then, he began working on the method on the altar!
Yue Ze's expression was grave as he stood on the high altar. Around him were nineteen monks wearing vestments kneeling on the side, forming a circle. Soon, the originally clear night sky changed color, and the dark clouds gradually gathered towards the direction of the city gate. The strong wind blew on the city wall, causing the dragon flag to be flaunted, and the black ceremonial robes of Yue Ze to be blown to the sky.
Standing alone on the high platform, he stretched out his hands to the sky, as if he was shouting, calling, but also as if he wanted to ride the wind to return home.
I couldn't help but sidle closer to him and stare at his face. This scene was so shocking that I felt I should look at him carefully. Otherwise, he would disappear at any moment.
At this moment, I was extremely nervous and couldn't help but hold my breath. Looking around, the soldiers on top of the wall also turned their gaze towards them. Even the Cang Wu Army who were attacking under the city walls had quietened down for a moment.
Everyone on the platform raised their heads to look at the emperor. His black robes, embroidered with totems, fluttered in the wind. His hands seemed to be filled with ten thousand thunderbolts as he commanded the many layers of dark clouds. He was the God of Heaven that ruled over the mortal world.
To be honest, Yueze's dragon aura was so thin, yet he could execute such a profound spell, making such a powerful water attack. His ability was truly extraordinary. And his handsome appearance was as charming as a god.
I stared at him, everyone stared at him, and I was so proud that I forgot my earlier worries. Until, Yueze suddenly waved his right index finger, pointing in the direction of Liujiang City! At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be under control. They paused for a moment, and then moved towards the north side of Liujiang City as if they had heard the command!
"Break …"
