Chapter 1144: 450 summer heat

On this night, the moon stars were thin and the night wind was gushing, and the sparse moonlight was scattered obliquely on the high walls of Huiling City, on the vast land around it, and there was no end at a glance from the city gate a mile away. In the eucalyptus forest ...
This lush forest is right next to the official road. It is lush and lush, which not only blocks the dust on the official road, but also shields the fiery scorching sun from the shade of the trees during the day; the northwest side of the forest is next to the Huiling River. The river surface of Huiling River is wide and the current is turbulent, making it extremely difficult to cross the river.
For the Nanliang Army, it is more suitable for camping. However: the sun can be avoided during the day; the side by the river is not easy to be attacked and can provide water; coupled with the location of this eucalyptus forest, it is only a short distance from Huiling City Here, you can not only observe the movement of Huiling City nearby, but also facilitate them to arrange night strikes at any time.
Today, the 10,000 Nanliang Army has been camping here for almost half a month. The flags are spreading, thousands of battalions are layered on top of each other, and looking forward, there is a bright light.
In the center of the camp, a large group of bonfires were burning, sparks were jumping, and the sound of "Ziba Ziba" sounded.
From time to time, two Nanliang soldiers guarding the campfire added firewood to the fire.
A few tents across the front came a cry of unwilling torture from a woman, despairing, sorrowful, and shuddering.
Before long, two undressed Nanliang soldiers carried a corpse wrapped in a straw mat out of the camp, and they threw the rolled straw mat onto the ground, one of them cursed: "Really Unlucky! "After that, the two returned to the camp.
The corpse fell heavily on the ground, so that the straw mat was slightly loose, and a naked arm obviously belonging to a woman hanged out of the straw mat. You can see that the fair skin is covered with blue and purple mottled marks, and many more Whip scars and blood scars make people hardly look straight.
And the two Nanliang soldiers beside the campfire only glanced indifferently, and then retracted their eyes. Among them, the black skinny man looked up at the sky and said, "It's three more days now, right? After another hour, we can ... hehe! "
Hu Hu beside him added another firewood and said: "Look at you virtue. General Elida said, but as long as he captured Huiling City, we will not be sealed for seven days. At that time you will return Afraid of no better woman? "
Since ancient times, the city has always paid attention to "every day is up to seven days". General Ellida is willing to promise that he will not close the knife for the next seven days. Obviously, he has become impatient with the battle in Huiling City. .
Hu Hu rubbed his hands and said, "Last time in Yanding City, we were only allowed to slaughter the city for three days, and it was simply not fun! However, this Dayu girl was really beautiful, and the woman whose skin was cooler than ours, oh ..." He murmured endlessly.
Hei Shouzi pointed at him and said teasingly, "Ah, I say you, be careful about planting on a woman someday!"
Wu Hu laughed in disapproval: "Hey, they don't have something to say that the peony died under the peony, and it's a ghost ..."
"Ah, what's that?" He Shouzi interrupted his robe suddenly, pointing at the sky behind him.
"What, what ..." Hu looked at him in confusion.
I don't know when the flashes of fire will flash in the night sky.
"Uh-"
"Uh-"
Bursts of air mixed with the sound of branches and leaves swaying came closer and closer, and I saw the numerous rockets blasting out like a meteor across the sky, lighting the night like a day. , 火箭 , a group of rockets shot strongly at each camp in the forest, every tree.
boom--
The camps and trees quickly burned. Thousands, no, tens of thousands of fire points, and then the night breeze quickly joined together, spreading rapidly around like wildfire Takihara, thick smoke spreading around. , And gradually blurred the vision.
The whole camp boiled in an instant, and the cries, shouts, and screams continued one after another, endlessly ...
"An enemy attack!"
The two sentinel Nanliang soldiers and several other sentries in the camp yelled, trying to awaken their companions in their sleep to confront the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, the Nanliang soldiers in the camp rushed out like a tide. They even had no time to put on their armor, and had no time to pick up their weapons. Some even caught fire and rolled on the ground in wailing ...
The flaming fire scared the chariots in the camp, broke the reins, ran, hissed, and even trampled on some soldiers, making the surroundings more chaotic and out of control!
In less than a tea time, the camp became a sea of ​​fire, a on earth, and the smell of rotten meat everywhere ...
The soldiers in Nanliang ran wildly out of the forest, even if their superiors were shouting in line, but at this critical moment, who could listen to it, but when they covered their noses and rushed out of the smoky sea of ​​fire, Waiting outside they were thousands of cavalry in one-color armor, half-enclosing the woods in layers, and the front row of cavalry raised their crossbow and aimed with a burning rocket Got them.
"Uh-"
The rocket hit the Nanliang people who escaped the fire forest like a heavy rain.
Behind the archer, they even shouted in unison:
"kill!"
In the shouts of the soldiers, the horseshoes sounded, and the cavalry raised their silver swords towards these leaking fishes, like waves of rage on the sea, wave after wave The red flags were flying in the air, and the quiet night was murderous at this moment!
Seeing the enemy coming, of course Nanliang soldiers would not sit still, pick up the weapons available on the ground, flee and fight, everyone is fighting for their lives. No one wants to die!
In the fiery flame, blood splattered and flesh flew across the blade.
The sound of weapons colliding everywhere, the sound of the sword cutting into the flesh, the crackling sound of the burning fire ... the ensemble became a cruel and powerful tragedy.
The blaze of sky smeared the dark night sky with a touch of red, the hot air rushed towards the face, with a scorching smell, and the wind brought the billowing smoke, which made people cough.
With such movements, it was impossible for Huiling City to be unconscious, and the city wall immediately became turbulent. A middle-aged man in armor hurriedly took several people to the city wall.
"Master Situ!"
The soldiers on the wall were busy saluting fists.
As soon as the rocket suddenly struck, those soldiers who had sent out sentiments had discovered that at first they thought it was the Nanliang army to strike again at night, but they did not expect that the rockets were aimed at the camp of the Nanliang people.
The vigilant Chen Xiaowei hurriedly sent someone to inform Situ's defense. Since the siege of Huiling City, Situ's defense has been sleeping peacefully, and he has never slept in a good sleep, lest the enemy troops suddenly attack the city.
As soon as he received the obituary, he rushed forward.
Chen Xiaowei said with a look of joy: "Sir Master, will our reinforcements come?"
Situ's defense could not be so optimistic, but did not say anything, for fear of hurting morale.
In fact, since the siege of Huiling City, he has sent several teams to report to Luo Yuecheng, but no one can live out of the siege. Even their bodies were hung high on the flagpole by the Nanliang people for ten days.
The closest to their Huiling City is Lanjing City and Huayi City, both of which are small cities. The garrison in the city is only three or five thousand, not to mention that the garrison cannot leave the city at will without the order of the Lord, even if they come. In the face of this 10,000 Nanliang army is also a mantis arm as a cart.
Who is the visitor ...
Situ Shoubei took the clairvoyance handed over by the soldiers and looked at the direction of the Nanliang Army camp.
Through a thousand miles of eyes, the situation inside and outside is clearly shown in front of Situ's defense. The Nanliang Army camp fired, the smoke billowed, and numerous Nanliang soldiers were trapped in the sea of ​​fire. It does not seem to be fake ...
Situ's guard slowly turned a thousand miles away, and suddenly his eyes were stagnant. He stared at the swaying flags in the cavalry, his eyes narrowed, and he blurted out: "It's the grandfather of the world!" That's the flag of the great grandfather Xiao Yi!
"Master Shi!"
Chen Xiaowei also widened his eyes and subconsciously raised his voice.
The soldiers on the wall showed excitement and relief. It was so difficult for them to unite the people in the city for so many days. They had thought that they would not be able to support the army on that day. I did n’t expect that Shishi had arrived with his soldiers. , And now is fighting with the Nanliang army.
"We are saved!"
"It's great, Shizi came to rescue Huiling City!"
"..."
The atmosphere on the wall was getting more and more enthusiastic, but Situ's defensive heart could not be so relaxed.
In the light of fire, the shadows are so good that it is difficult to estimate the number of cavalry, but after watching for a while, Situ defended but guessed that the number would not be very large. Otherwise, the Nanliang Army is now in a state of confusion, and it is clear that it can launch a siege. However, they only wandered and assaulted, deliberately avoiding confrontation with them, obviously because they were not strong enough.
Large army marches take time, this should be the vanguard who came first to support.
Although Shizi has now disrupted the enemy ’s camp with a fire attack, and has caused a lot of damage to the enemy ’s army, when the Nanliang Army reacts and controls the remaining soldiers, I am afraid that there will be a tough battle ...
At this time, Situ's defense suddenly looked stunned. At the same time, Chen Xiaowei's voice sounded in his ear, "Master Situ, it's a slogan!"
semaphore!
Shi Ziye ’s flag is being waved rhythmically by one person, clearly the slogan!
Did he let him out of town?
Situ Shoubei put down his clairvoyance, and raised his voice decisively: "Slam the drums of war, convene the army, open the city gate! We will fight against Nanliang Dog!"
"Yes, Master Situ!"
Chen Xiaowei and the soldiers only felt that the blood was boiling, and the intention of killing fell from his chest and immediately acted.
At the same time, the woods in the Nanliang camp almost turned into a huge bonfire. Those trees were burned, cracked and cracked, overwhelmed by the burning camp, the sound of breaking, collision, falling, crackling ... one after another .
The burnable ones have been burned, and the bodies of the Nanliang Army can be seen everywhere. They have various deaths, burned, arrows shot, slashed by knives, crushed by trees ... Nearly all the ground was dyed red, forming a world of fire and blood.
One after another, the Nanliang remnants were divided into several paths to escape from the woods. Xiao Yi did not order to chase. The vanguard had only 3,000 people. It was the key to solve the plight of Huiling City. The pursuit was not wise.
Xiao Yi glanced at the direction of the city wall, Huiling City's defense should have received the semaphore.
With 3,000 cavalry in an attempt to annihilate the 10,000 Nanliang Army, it was just a crazy talk, but Huiling City had not yet been broken. Huiling City was originally supposed to have 8,000 garrisons. After repeated battles, Xiao Yi estimated that there were at least three or five. Thousands of people, can give Nanliang Army a catch!
Otherwise, if it is delayed, once the Nanliang army arrives, I am afraid that Huiling City is really dangerous.
"Master Shi!" At this moment, Wu Chenming wiped the blood on 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 horse's side, and put a long arrow on the bowstring.
The bowstring was easily pulled away until it was full, and his hand was suddenly released, and the long arrow whistled out with a burst of air ...
Snapped!
The flag of the Nanliang Army broke off in response, and the cheering of Huiling City thundered.
Morale is up.
"kill!"
Xiao Yi yelled loudly, and came out as a soldier ...
...
At this moment, Nangong Yu, who was far away from Luo Yue City, suddenly awakened, and felt a little hot. She got up from the couch and wiped her back with a sweat.
The night was silent, only the cicadas outside came from time to time.
The thrush at night heard the movement in the inner room, hurriedly got up, came in, and lowered his voice and asked, "Sir concubine, are you okay?"
When Xiao Yi was in the house, the girls did not need to be on the night, but now there is only Nangong Li, and several big girls have shifted in turn.
The thrush's voice made Nangong Yu slightly awake and said, "I'm fine, I just woke up ..."
The thrush rushed into the inner room, poured cold water on Nangong, and went out to change the ice basin. The room gradually became cooler.
After sending the thrush out, Nangong still couldn't sleep, so she came to the beauty couch in front of the window and sat down.
She opened the window and looked far southeast.
That's the direction of Huiling City ...
It wasn't until the sky was bright that Nangong Ling slept for a while, and the thrush knew that she didn't sleep well last night and didn't dare to disturb early in the morning, so she got up a bit later than usual and used it early After dinner, he moved to the director of Xihong Hall.
As soon as he got out of the house, Nangong Paton felt that it was hot and difficult, but now it is only a short time, but the scorching sun is high in the sky, and the earth is burning like a fireball. people.
"This day is really getting hotter." Nangong Yan frowned slightly.
"Yeah, concubine!" The thrush next to her couldn't help complaining, "I'm sweating all the time. Several girls have been hit by the heat these days."
Nangong Yan groaned and said, "Thrush, you tell me to go down and let the girl and mother-in-law in Bixiaotang do not clean the courtyard at noon recently to avoid heat. Sprinkles or anything should be arranged before sunrise or after sunset Right. "
The thrush hurriedly thanked Nangong Aunt for those scumbags, and took the order.
By the time Nangong arrived at Xihong Hall, several stewards in silk and silver had waited under the eaves. When they saw Nangong, they all bowed down and said, "I have seen my concubine."
Nan Gongxi beckoned them to be courteous, and a group of people entered her Xihong Hall with her as the center.
Nan Gongxi sat down in the teacher's chair. After giving him a seat, several stewards sat on the sister-in-law who moved by Xiaoya.
First, Lu Yan, because of the recent hot weather, the consumption of ice cubes is larger than previously expected. He has told the Zhu steward, Nangong Zhuan only told him that the ice in Yuge and Yun leaving the hospital must not be less. .
Followed by, other supervisors also reported one by one. When it was the turn of the needle room, she sat straight, there was no movement for a long time, it seemed to be a god.
A fat beside her quietly pulled her cuffs, and then she suddenly returned to her senses, but when she stood up, she bumped into the mule behind her again, making a "chuck", and it was extremely harsh, other The stewards looked at her in unison.
Qu Xie said in a respectful manner: "Sir concubine, the needlework room is about to start summer ... No, Qiu Yi, in the past, Qiu Yi was each of the two maids, and the slave wanted to ask whether the concubine was still As usual? "
Nangong Yu thought for a while: "Qiuyi will continue as usual, but I guess this summer may be a bit long, maybe it will be hot in early October. Your sewing room will still make up a summer clothes for everyone, and then start sewing Qiuyi. "
When the little girls in the hall heard the plain white clothes, they were all wearing new summer clothes. They all smiled and exchanged a look with joy.
Qu Yifu responded: "Yes, concubine, the slaves ordered the people below to start to make autumn clothes tailored to everyone ..." Then, her eyes were straight, she didn't realize she was wrong. .
Lu Yi coughed anxiously, trying to remind Qu Yi.
Looking at Qu Xi's absent-mindedness, the answer was upside down, Nangong Xu frowned slightly. It wasn't the first time she had dealt with this quarrel, and she usually saw that the other party was still a very capable person. There was nothing wrong with it ...
Nangong Chen said in a deep voice: "Qu, you have something to sue?"
Qu Xi beat the spirit, and then he came back, afraid of being punished, and knelt down in a panic, please sin: "Sir concubine, please forgive me. The slave's young granddaughter is sick recently, and the slave is a little worried. God. "She said tremblingly.
Looking at Qu Xi's appearance, Nan Gongxi guessed that it might not be a simple cold and cough, and then asked, "What kind of illness is it?"
Qu Xun was both worried and worried, and couldn't hide the trill: "The concubine of the world, the granddaughter of the slave, Xu was in the heat, vomited and diarrhea, and gave some wormwood water last night, but he still vomited this morning! "Seeing the granddaughter almost spit out jaundiced water, Qu Yi frowned tightly.
Nangong Yan squinted his eyes slightly, and his expression was a little dignified. I couldn't help thinking of the thrush telling her that many young girls have suffered from heatstroke recently ... The weather is indeed getting hotter these days, and the elderly and children are weak. It's so bad.
"You get up first," Nangong said, "Bai Hui, go and get Qu Xi from my prescription ..."
Bai Hui was blessed to take the lead.
"Slave thanked the surviving concubine!" Qu Xie secretly relieved. Fortunately, the concubine didn't blame and gave me medicine. I heard that Shi Zifei is a divine doctor, so this must be a divine medicine? !!
Nan Gongxi said: "Qu Qu, since your granddaughter is seriously ill, go back earlier and hurry up and ask her for a doctor. Don't delay the illness, the minor illness will become a serious illness!"
Bai Hui came to Qu Yi and said politely: "Hit you and go to the corner gate and wait for me. When I get the medicine, I will send it to you."
"Thank you, Baihui Girl." Qu Xi was grateful to Dade, and she left Xihong Hall one after the other.
Then, the other supervisors continued to report to Nangongyu, and they received the right cards ... After Yo Mo yelled incense, they finally dealt with these trivial matters, and the supervisors retired together.
Nangong Ai yawned a little tired. It really got hotter in the past two days. Although there was an ice basin in Xihong Hall, she felt a sweltering mood after sitting for a while.
It is conceivable that those people will be even more difficult ...
Nangong Yan frowned slightly and said, "Hey, it's getting hotter recently, do you know what's going on in the city?"
My son immediately understood that Nangong Yu was worried about the heat, rationalized her thoughts, and replied in an orderly manner: "Second concubine, slave-in-law went to the tea shed of the big girl yesterday as you ordered. After having a cup of herbal tea with slaves, slaves hid in the tea shed. These days, the tea sheds of the young girls are often full, especially when the sun is around noon, and the helper women are almost too busy, so The big girl Han was there to help at that time. The sun at noon these days was really spicy, and the slaves sat in the tea shed for less than a joss stick, and saw four or five people on the road showing signs of heat stroke. , Was sent to rest in the tea shed. But fortunately, it was not serious. The girl Han filled them with two cups of hot herbal tea, sweated, and then came over. The slaves listened to the passersby in the tea shed saying that they had tea. People are truly meritorious! "
Nangong Yan listened thoughtfully. Next, the heat of the summer will only become heavier, and it may not be enough to apply tea alone ... Maybe we have to think about other ways.
Before thinking about it, I heard the voice of the little girl saluting from outside: "I've seen the big girl!"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xiao, who was wearing a dark-colored moire sister, slowly walked into the house.
After the two met, Nangong said: "Sister, you are here just right, I am going to see my father, why don't you take a trip with me?"
See the father king? Xiao Xun took a moment's notice, but didn't ask much, and went to the study room of King Zhennan with her.
The luck of the two of them was not bad. King Zhennan did not go to the barracks today. He was doing his official duties in the study, and Bai Zhuan led them in respectfully.
After paying tribute to the king of the south of the town, Nangong Yu said obediently: "Father Wang, daughter-in-law wants to apply medicine in the city with sister-in-law ..."
King Zhennan squinted slightly, and looked at Nangong Xuan with a little examination.
Nangong Yan continued to say, "Father Wang, yesterday, my daughter-in-law and Fu Liu Liu went to the tea house to drink tea. I accidentally heard people talking about Fang's family. We also mentioned our royal palace. It's no wonder ... "She paused deliberately, showing helplessness." Father, my daughter-in-law, as long as the reputation of the palace is damaged, turns around and sleeps all night. Daughter-in-law thinks about doing something good to benefit her. Yu Min, it's okay to revive the reputation of our palace! "
The king of Zhennan looked a little shy when she saw her, and couldn't help feeling a little moved.
The incidents in the Fang family were too ugly, rebellious and , and even the reputation of the royal palace in Zhennan was flawed, which became the topic of the people after tea. Although no one dared to chew the tongue in front of Zhennan King, he didn't know something.
He thought about it carefully, and felt that Nangong's proposal was indeed good. Doing good medicine could not only improve the reputation and prestige of the palace, but also divert the attention of the people in the city from the scandals of the Fang family ...
The more Zhennan Wang thought, the more he thought the idea was good. When he looked up and looked at Nangong Yuan, his eyes showed some appreciation. This concubine is indeed a maid of honor, and she has the style of a hostess in the palace.
Xiao Fang's is getting worse lately. Wang Fuzhong always makes a side concubine unsuitable, maybe she can let Shi Zifei try it ...
And Xiao Yan ...
Zhennan Wang quickly glanced at Xiao Yan, thinking: Sister Ye had only known to read books, but now she has been with Shi Zifei for a long time, but she has a little bit of imperial grace in her actions.
"Okay, just do what your concubine does!" Zhennan Wang Guo said decisively, "After a while, the king ordered someone to go to the account room to collect one thousand and two silver. You first use ... As for the manpower and purchasing, you It's up to you. Your mother is not feeling well and is still raising her. Don't bother her. "
Is this completely overhead for Xiao Fang? Also, the king of Zhennan was so good-looking, the fact that the Fang family had three bedrooms was enough to make him disgusted with Xiao Fang. Nan Gongxi thought so, and blessed himself with Xiao Xuan and said, "Thank you, Father."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Even the dull study seemed to have become easier and more natural because of their light smiles.
King Zhennan wiped his beard with satisfaction. If he remembered correctly, it would be Shi Zifei ’s gift in five days, maybe he should give her some face ...
