Slender fingers rubbed the edge of the map.
The owner of the hand frowned and said nothing, his expression becoming more serious.
The jet-black hair is tied high, and the eyebrows are still handsome.
"Aning, how many days have we been besieging the city?"
he asked in a deep voice after a while.
Ning Yan thought for a while: "It's been more than ten days."
"Aning."
He suddenly turned his head and looked at her carefully, his pupils so dark that they were like a whirlpool, making people sink involuntarily.
But the words he spoke were a bit cold: "Siege battles always cause huge casualties.
If you can't make up your mind, I don't think there is any need to continue this battle."
Ning Yan's face turned pale, she pursed her lips and did not answer.
"Now that we have taken this step, why should we be timid in the future?
Is it possible that you are waiting for Zheng Yu to leave the city on his own and surrender?
Even if he is willing, will the Queen be willing?
Are you too naive or too stupid to fight this battle?
If we win, it doesn’t matter who takes the throne At most, if you come here, you will be accused of being a traitor; but if you lose, do you think the Queen Mother can let you go?
Can you let go of the 300,000 soldiers who followed you regardless of everything?"
His voice gradually became colder, and his hands The terrain map inside was thrown on the sand table.
Ning Yan raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said tremblingly: "I understand Zheng Yu's temper.
If we can break the city with minimal casualties," "The casualties are minimal."
Gu Mingxuan held his forehead and sighed, "It can be seen from these reports that Yun Xiu is indeed somewhat capable.
But he is new to war and has little experience.
The imperial capital is not a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Eighty thousand forbidden troops also root There is no way to fight against the 300,000-strong elite Shen Yujun.
What's the reason for delaying it for so long?
It's just a matter of riding a tiger.
He is not in a hurry because he knows you and he is sure that you won't do it.
Attack the city at all costs."
Ning Yan swayed slightly and held on to the edge of the sand table feebly.
"However, it is still a strategy to defend now.
The imperial capital has no defensive weapons, but there is enough food and grass to last for a while.
I'm afraid some people can't wait any longer."
Gu Mingxuan's eyes flashed with pity when he looked at her, and then he leaned back and breathed a sigh of relief: "With Evian Xiu's ability, it shouldn't take that long to break through a mere nine-turn plum blossom formation."
Nine Turns of Plum Blossom Array "You mean?"
Her face was already ashen.
"Let Luo Hua sneak into the city tonight and go to the princess's mansion to investigate.
If my guess is correct, they should be detained in the sky prison at this time."
Before he finished speaking, a person walked in from outside the tent.
"I'll go."
A man in dark green robes walked in, his steps steady and powerful.
"Liu Sheng is still with Qing Luan's body in the princess's mansion.
Anyone with him in the mansion should not be in danger.
As for Luo Hua," he glanced at Gu Mingxuan who was leaning on the couch, "he has left a letter and left."
The man on the couch nodded and closed his deep eyes.
"Let him be."

"In addition, Shui Rulan received news that there have been some changes in the formation on the mountain recently.
It seems that someone broke in, but when Rulan and the others arrived, they did not find anyone."
"Have you found out who it is?"
"There is no letter.
It just says that many strangers have come to the town at the foot of the mountain recently."
His slender fingers clasped together inadvertently, and after a pause, Gu Mingxuan smiled softly and said: "Send the message to her, don't worry about the people down the mountain, watch the formation."
"yes."
When Lu Li went out, he subconsciously looked at Ning Yan, who was standing aside, and finally shook his head, opened the curtain and went out.
"Axuan, I was wrong."
After a long time, Ning Yan looked up at him with red eyes, only to see that he kept looking at her.
Their eyes met, and they saw a trace of warmth in each other's eyes.
"I know I was wrong."
He raised his eyebrows at her, "Come here."
Ning Yan slowly moved over, and when she was close to his side, he grabbed her arm and fell into his cool and warm arms.
He buried his head in Ning Yan's neck, smelling the good smell coming from her body, but felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Aning, Aning, Aning, he called the name countless times in his heart.
In fact, he didn't want her to go through so many storms and bear so much helplessness.
She just needed to hide in his arms and live her whole life happily and peacefully.
But how long can he stay with her?
Holding back the bloody breath in his heart, he hugged the person in his arms tightly.
"Leave all the rest to me, okay?
Within three days, I will take over the imperial capital."
The next day, white flags were suddenly hung on the imperial capital city, and all the Imperial Guards were wearing white scarves.
The whole city was deserted, and paper money was flying all over the sky.
Someone read loudly on the city tower: "The emperor has a decree.
The eldest princess has served the country for many years and has made great achievements.
If she can stop the army and surrender, all her crimes will be forgotten.
In addition, Ning Chan, the sister of the eldest princess Donghe who protects the country, will be granted the title of Yi'an County.
"Lord, I will be buried in Xishan Cemetery in three days."
I read it over and over again, and when I couldn't speak anymore, another person continued.
As soon as this news was released, the wave of condemnation against Ning Yan spread across the country like a tidal wave.
The garrisons in several state capitals in Jiangnan Third Road were in a wait-and-see state.
First, they did not have soldiers to dispatch troops to Wuming, and second, they wanted to see how the situation would develop.
After all, Shen Yu's army is a brave army famous among the four countries.
It is like hitting an egg against a stone with its own strength.
However, now that public dissatisfaction is boiling and the general trend is inevitable, several generals garrisoned in the three areas south of the Yangtze River have decided to join forces to reinforce the imperial capital.
If you attack from both inside and outside, your chances of winning will be much higher.
In this way, even if you lose, you can still gain the reputation of being loyal and brave, and sending troops to serve the king.
As soon as he received the report, Gu Mingxuan quickly glanced at it and put it on the fire.
Ning Yan said anxiously: "What did you say?"
He smiled: "It's nothing, it's just the reaction of the people."
"It can be imagined that Yun Xiu is really good at it."
Gu Mingxuan shook his head: "It must be more than that."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a report from a soldier outside the tent: "Princess Qi, there is a girl outside the camp who insists on calling herself your maid.
Let me report."

"Did she say what her name was?"
"What's the name of Rou?"
Ning Yan and Gu Mingxuan looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Ning Yan said after a while: "Bring her in."
The person who came was indeed Shi Rou, dressed in blue-gray linen clothes, and his eyes were still clear and compelling.
"Xiao Rou pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and pays homage to the Lord of the Mountain."
She bowed down after entering the tent, and every move was done perfectly, without any sloppiness.
Ning Yanxu raised her head and asked softly: "Shouldn't you still be at the princess's residence?
Why are you here?"
Shi Rou suddenly fell to her knees and said in a trembling voice: "Princess and Sir, please forgive me
