Nightfall

> .. The word in the same word does not only mean the magic path, or the path. M

The queen had read many files that were missing in the past, in order to deal with him, because he killed her only brother, Xiahou. The relationship between the two of them was complicated, and the emotions echoed between each other were subtle.

Back in Helan City, the subtle emotion still echoed between Ning Que and the Queen Mother until he entered the pavilion quiet room and saw the gray coffin.

The coffin was very large, made of dozens of pine trees in the mountains abandoned by the sky.

The bark on the pine wood didn't have time to peel off, and it looked too simple. Especially compared with the status of the person lying in the coffin.

Ning Que was silent for a long time, then walked to the pine coffin and knelt down, bowed down to meet.

The Queen Mother said calmly: "When you saw him in the palace, you didn't like to kowtow. Now that he is dead, you can't see any more heads."

Ning Que stood up and reached out to gently stroke the rough bark of the pine tree without saying anything.

The queen thought that he would laugh at the dead as before, and then she could mention the dead Xiahou by the way, and then go on to the more serious topics.

Ning Que stood next to the pine coffin for a moment, then looked at Master Huang Yang and several generals and said, "What is the situation now? Why do you stay in Helan City?"

"The Dean and His Majesty passed away one after another, and it rained heavily. The Zhenbei Army was forced to stay in Helan City. After that, the news broke off. We don't know what is going on in the South, but we can guess some ...

Master Huang Yang said slowly, and then told the situation these days.

"Since the King of the Golden Account dares to siege Helan City, then Shan Yu must have taken the army south."

Ning Que folded a small piece of charred bark roasted by a long candle from the pine coffin, squatted to the ground, drew a very simple map, and drew a horizontal line under the map, saying, "Seven cities Walled ... "

Suddenly he was silent, and his line drawing fingers stopped.

The room was quiet, and people knew that Ning Que was born in Weicheng. Weicheng is a frontier in the seven fortresses.

There was no change in the expression on Ning Que's face. He continued calmly and said: "The Seventh Walled City must have been broken, and the cavalry of the gold tent has even passed the Pingling Pass, and is approaching Hebei County."

He threw away the bark in his hand and looked up at the crowd and said, "A third of the cavalry in the Zhenbei Army are in Helan City. Does Beidaying have enough military power to resist? If Chang'an City is from Gushan County or even the soil Yangcheng transfers troops, what to do in the east? Longqing will definitely not miss this opportunity. "

The order of his speculation and the actual situation has changed slightly. But the conclusion reached. There is no essential difference from reality, and the views of the Queen Mother are also completely consistent.

"We must leave at once."

The Queen said: "Withdraw at the fastest speed."

Han Qing said: "The road is far away, what should I do with the grain?"

A Zhenbei army general said: "Fighting firewood all the way. It is enough to grab a few gold account tribes."

Ning Que shook his head and said: "The King of Golden Accounts must have arranged for a long time. Their elite south, the wasteland belly is empty. They certainly will not give us an opportunity. Those tribes are afraid to withdraw to the north after the rain stops. If we To chase, the road will be pulled longer, without food going into the wasteland, too risky. "

The queen asked, "What do you do?"

"There is no good way."

Ning Que stood up and said, "First of all, all the food in Helan City must be taken away, and the calculation must be done. All the food and grass must first be supplied to the war horses. People can be hungry. The piggyback can continue to move forward, and if it is not possible at the end, then kill the horse. "

The generals were silent for a moment, and Shen Sheng responded.

Han Qing frowned and said, "Take away all the food in the city. What should the defenders do?"

Ning Que said: "The defenders in the city followed the Zhenbei Army south."

Khan Qing said in surprise: "The defending army followed a southward retreat, don't you want to Helan City?"

When Ning Que was about to say something, the queen said: "As long as people are still there, Datang is still there, He Lancheng will be lost. One day in the future he will be able to win back."

Time is running out, after the negotiation is over. The generals left in a hurry and arranged for the various matters of the southern withdrawal of the army. Master Huang Yang went to retreat and healed the wound, and the queen went to visit the six princes who were scared.

At this time in the quiet room, except for the gray pine coffin, there were only Ning Que and Han Qing.

"When you and the daughter of Pluto crossed the border in a black carriage, I was watching you at the head of the city."

Han Qing looked at him and said.

Ning Que said: "There is no time for emotion now. Please speak directly about what the general wants to say."

Khan Qing glanced at the gray pine coffin and said, "Your Majesty loved you a lot. You already know his death, so what do you think?"

Ning Que said: "You continue to say."

Han Qing continued: "Everyone knows that you are close to your high princess, but you have old grudges with the queen and the queen, and your majesty passed on to the six princes ... I don't really care which side you support, but I hope you will It shows an attitude that the road to the south is difficult and there will be problems again ... "

Footsteps were heard outside the door.

Han Qing no longer speaks.

The Queen Mother walked in with a teenager.

The teenager was wearing a bright yellow royal costume, his eyes turned slightly, looking at Ning Que, and he was a little curious and timid as if he was not used to seeing strangers.

Ning Que was silent for a long time beside the pine coffin.

Then he looked at the prince and asked, "Do you want to be the emperor of Datang?"

The prince was a little confused, and looked up at his mother.

The queen gently touched the top of his head, and the expression was particularly spoiled.

The prince looked at Ning Que and thought about it for a long time, and said: "The father emperor let me be, then I will be bent."

Ning Que said: "Very well, it is yours that belongs to you, and no one can take it away."

The queen looked at him quietly and said, "This is the promise of the academy?"

Ning Que said: "This is my promise, but it is equally effective."

The queen said, "I don't doubt this."

Ning Que asked: "Why?"

The Queen said: "Because you finally married Sang Sang."

Ning Que looked at her gentle and beautiful face, remembering that she was on the grassland under the city. When she turned to look at herself, her black hair flew across the picture. That picture was very beautiful, and there was a thrilling beauty.

He found that the Queen Mother understood herself very well.

So he suddenly understood why His Majesty had to marry her as his wife.

...

...

The grains and grasses stored in Helan City for many years were carried away, and the dead horses on the battlefield in front of the city were killed. Tang Jun cut off his limbs and piled them up in a trailer to serve as alternate food.

It didn't take long for tens of thousands of Tang Jun to withdraw from Helan City. A general of the Zhenbei army asked whether he would burn down the city ’s crossbows and buildings so as not to fall into the hands of the king ’s barbarian. To return, these are the wealth of Tang State.

Tang Jun was trapped in the depths of the wasteland by heavy rain and enemies. Finally started the journey back to South. Just when it came. Their country is still the most powerful country in the world. At the time of their return, their country was already in the midst of storms. Like a broken ship in Wang Yang, it may be destroyed at any time.

So the journey of returning seemed a little suppressed. Still nervous.

The expression on Ning Que's face did not reveal anything strange, holding Ma Rein's hand, but from time to time clenched for no reason, his tight knuckles were pale. It revealed that his mood was more tense than anyone, and more depressed than anyone else.

After a difficult journey, the large army of the Tang army who returned to the south finally reached the middle of the Minshan Mountain. The cyan color in the field of vision became stronger and stronger, and the autumn trees on the mountain became more and more red.

There is still a long distance from Beidaying. Tang Jun is very hungry and exhausted, and there is very little food left, but as long as no major problems occur, he should be able to return south smoothly.

Ning Que's feeling of tenseness for a few days was finally relaxed. The fear and tension that had been deep in his heart, but at the same time broke out, he could no longer control his emotions. Ask yourself to go west.

Several generals of the Tang army expressed strong opposition. Against the background of the invasion of the Golden Horde King Ting, no matter how powerful he was, once the order was surrounded, there was only one way to die.

Everyone knows why Ning Que wants to go west. It's just that time has passed so long, what can you save even if you rush over at this time?

In the end, the Queen Mother agreed to Ning Que's request. A team of elite cavalry was also sent to escort.

"The seven city fortresses could not have persisted until now."

Khan Qing looked at the dozens of rides heading towards the west of the wasteland, frowning and said: "He's going to take a look at this time, it doesn't make any sense except to make himself more painful."

The Queen Mother said: "A lot of things must always be seen with your own eyes to really give up. Ning Que, although he is not an ordinary person, is no different from ordinary people in this respect."

...

...

Weicheng is here.

In the deserted wilderness, there is a quiet earthen city. When the wind blows, the ash on the city wall will fall, fall on the cutting board of the meat stall, and fall into the wine urn that has forgotten the cloth.

Weicheng is still that Weicheng city. It is extremely simple. The city gates are a little skewed as in previous years, but if they are closed from the inside, it is difficult to break the city cars.

Today's Weicheng is too quiet. The old gray accumulated under the wall of the earth can see black traces in it. I don't know if it is the color after blood clotting, or something else.

Ning Que waved the cavalry to stop.

He jumped off the horse, walked to the city gate and reached for a push, the slanted city gate fell in response, and the smoke made a slight noise. He stood silent at the gate for a long time, then stepped up and walked inside.

The cavalrymen sat on horseback and watched him walking into Weicheng. The emotions on his face were a little complicated.

I don't know how long it took, Ning Que walked out of Weicheng.

The expression on his face was still calm, his back still upright, and the right hand resting on the handle was still stable, and he could not see any change. He seemed to see nothing in Weicheng.

"How's the situation inside?" Tang Qi asked.

Ning Que shook his head and said, "Nothing."

The officer frowned slightly and motioned several cavalrymen to take a look at Weicheng.

Ning Que whispered: "Don't go in."

The cavalry soldiers glanced at the officer, seeing that he had nothing to say, and drove to Weicheng.

Ning Que did not turn around and shouted: "Don't go in!"

His voice was loud and violent, like a thunder, exploding in the wilderness outside Weicheng. The mounts under the cavalry were startled by the sound, and people stood up.

A broken streamer in Weicheng shook gently.

Hearing Ning Que's angry roar, people finally understood what was happening in Weicheng.

No one tried to look in again.

Ning Que walked towards her mount.

Every time he took a step, his head was lowered by a point, and his body was a point.

"When I left, I said to you, don't be old, don't die, wait for my filial piety ... the result is now? You old fox, always like to talk and not count."

Ning Que murmured to herself.

Then he smiled, his smile somewhat miserable.

...

...

Although the army did not pass through Weicheng, it finally entered the war zone. The terror damage caused by the Golden Horde cavalry in frontiers, and the settlement towns of the Tang people who were ruined, appeared in front of people.

This is a tired teacher, but he was aroused by the blood and fire, ruins and broken walls, and the dead clan who had seen it along the way. It almost inspired the fighting, and it only became necessary after a period of rest and supplementation. The terrifying military power, even now, many soldiers with red eyes want to fight the Golden Horde.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the Tang Army Brigade, who returned south along the Minshan Mountain, had never encountered the main force of the King of the Golden Horde, and after approaching dozens of grassland rides, they approached Beidaying.

Tang Jun, who returned to South China, regained contact with the General's Mansion. Because of the large number of people and horses, it was naturally inconvenient to enter the Beidaying Camp at the same time. And the most important emperor's coffin was first taken back to the Beida camp.

After some temporary deliberation, the Nangui Tang Army did not raise any doubts about the military command of the General General ’s House, the large troops were recuperated on the spot, and the empress and the six princes set off with her majesty's coffin.

His Majesty ’s Spiritual Axis is very simple, but it is very heavy. The weight of dozens of whole pine trees requires several horses to pull it. The biggest difficulty encountered by Tang Jun is this.

Beidaying now bears the important responsibility of resisting the King of the Golden Horde. Naturally, it seems a bit chaotic. The Tang army staying around the general ’s palace looks anxious. However, when the carriage carrying the pine coffin came from outside the city, whether it was a soldier or an ordinary People have fallen to their knees on the ground, their faces showing grief.

Not many people noticed ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Ning Que sat in the carriage and sat beside the pine coffin.

Several horse-drawn horses drove the heavy ash coffin slowly across the street, and the wheels rolled against the hard stone ground, making a monotonous and heart-pounding voice.

Suddenly there were several screams by the street.

"Kill the demon!"

"Wash the shame for your majesty!"

The sound of the killing, a Tang will bring hundreds of cavalry, charged from the street, Pu Daoxueliang.

In the carriage in front, the empress queen held the six princes with a calm expression. Ning Que was sitting next to the pine coffin, her head hanging down slightly, her expression calm, as if she had heard nothing.
