C459

The night was dark and the fire was blazing.

Xiao Qingqian stood on top of the city wall with his hands behind his back, and watched the enemy troops fleeing into the distance.

"Your highness, should we chase them?" the guard asked.

It was lucky that they were able to push back the enemy troops today. However, if they were to regroup and launch an attack again, the East Mausoleum would not have any chance of winning at all.

Seeing that Xiao Qingqian did not reply after a long time, the dark guard bowed and waited at the side.

Snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, landing right between Xiao Qingqian's eyebrows.

He suddenly remembered when Wei Qing smiled in the snow at the beginning of time.

How was she right now?

"Inform them to prepare the water immediately."

The guard was stunned, thinking he had misheard, "Your Highness, you just said …. You want to prepare water? "

Xiao Qingqian nodded, "You didn't mishear me wrong. You did indeed go and prepare the water."

The hidden guard hurriedly went down to spread the news. When Chen Cheng heard of this matter, he immediately guessed Xiao Qingqian's intentions.

"Your Royal Highness, do you want the enemy troops to not be able to climb the city walls?"

"Since you've guessed it, don't say it." Xiao Qingqian glared at him snappily.

Chen Cheng pursed his lips, "The princess is not by your side, your temper is really big!"

After saying that, Xiao Qingqian unhappily punched him, "Is my skin itchy?"

Chen Cheng curled his lips, "Die'er is now the little sister of the Royal Concubine. This subordinate's relationship with the Duke can also be considered to be close.

Xiao Qingqian looked at him with deep eyes. "Chen Cheng, don't forget, Die'er listens to Qing'er the most!"

Chen Cheng was so frightened that his face changed several times. He pretended to be very frightened and said, "Emma, Your Highness, this move of yours is really too damaging. Your subordinate is afraid! "

With the support of the soldiers, General Meng wobbled in front of Xiao Qingqian.

"General Meng, you don't need to apologize to this king. If today, your drunkenness caused the enemy to attack the city, you will have to apologize to the people of the world and the East Mausoleum Emperor! "

Looking at Xiao Qingqian's eyes which were filled with anger, General Meng kneeled down.

"Prince Chu, it's all because of me. Something like this definitely won't happen again."

Xiao Qingqian gasped for breath and glanced at Chen Cheng, who picked him up.

"Why would the Prince prepare a large amount of water?" General Meng asked as he stood up.

Xiao Qingqian did not utter a word. Instead, he continued to speak, "The prince naturally has his uses. General Meng does not need to ask about it too much."

Now that the conversation had reached this stage, General Meng could only restrain his curiosity.

Very quickly, Chen Cheng led the East Mausoleum soldiers and carried the buckets up the city walls.

Buckets of water were poured over and soon the water froze into ice.

The gray walls quickly turned into a crystalline ice palace. When the sun rose, it looked very dazzling in the distance.

Xiao Qingqian checked it for a while, but was not satisfied with it, so he let Chen Cheng continue to prepare the water.

This time, the water was mixed with broken pieces of porcelain.

As soon as a person approached it, the protruding piece of porcelain would cut through the person's hand.

"A brilliant plan!" General Meng lied on the city wall and looked down, praising.

After what happened last time, even if the sky was even colder, he still didn't covet wine.

Xiao Qingqian frowned, his mouth stretched taut as he said: "It's just a child's play."

General Meng knew that Xiao Qingqian was still angry at him, so he tactfully did not say anything more.

The allied forces of the Southern Kingdom and the Xie Jing were very anxious to attack the city. After several tries, the soldiers were either injured by the broken pieces of porcelain or cut by the soldiers guarding the city. They fell down.

After a long period of failure, the generals of the enemy troops were anxious.

The Southern Generals sent a letter to the Emperor of the South Kingdom, requesting them to withdraw their troops.

However, even now, there was still no news about Chu Tiange. Since the Emperor of the South Kingdom had a weakness that had fallen into the hands of the Xie Jing, he could only forcefully endure it.

Xiao Qingqian predicted that the enemy would not attack the city again in the near future, so he got Chen Cheng to lead the soldiers of East Mausoleum to follow Wei Qing's previously drawn blueprints to create a fire cannon carriage.

After a few tries, the chance of hit was still quite high.

After three days had passed, the East Mausoleum had already produced three charcoal cannons. They could adjust the firing distance by moving their fulcrum points.

That night, the enemy prepared to attack again.

This time, they had already thought of a way.

The group carried the ladder in front as a cover and ambushed from behind.

However, Xiao Qingqian had already guessed their positions, there were only a few soldiers left. Right when the enemy entered their line of sight, Xiao Qingqian used the fire cannon chariot to shoot fire at them.

Once the red-hot coal landed on his body, his clothes would instantly catch fire.

Because they had the fire cannon carts in front of them, they could not create any storms in front of them. At the back, when the enemy troops were just close to the city walls, the East Mausoleum's soldiers immediately poured the chili oil.

The chili concoction stabbed into their eyes, causing them to be unable to open their eyes.

Very quickly, the attacks from the first two groups weakened.

"Your Royal Highness, after this battle, the enemy will probably not easily attack the city." Chen Cheng said as he turned his head to look at the chili concoction on the ground.

Xiao Qingqian knew what Chen Cheng meant by this, and he was worried that something might happen to Long Xiaotian if he faced Long Xiaotian alone.

"I'll leave this to you!"

Chen Cheng nodded, his expression solemn as he promised to guard the East Mausoleum well.

Xiao Qingqian brought the hidden guards and galloped towards the Southern Kingdom overnight.

Wei Qing realized that she had always been forgetful these past few days, and thought about the Chu Yin and her conspiracy that He Yue had told her earlier. She took advantage of the fact that she hadn't forgotten too much to write down important matters. Every day, she would read through them once, telling herself not to forget them.

Footsteps sounded from outside, Wei Qing hurriedly stuffed the paper back into his sleeves.

Chu Yin pushed the door and entered. Looking at Wei Qing who was sitting in front of the table, she asked with a smile: "How are you feeling today?"

Wei Qing looked at him without blinking, "Don't you feel that it's going too far to imprison me here?"

"I was just worried you'd be hurt."

The ridicule on Wei Qing's face grew more and more obvious. "You said that you were worried that I would be harmed, and that it was true that you wanted to put me under house arrest!"

"Qing`er, why do you keep thinking that I'm so dirty?"

"A Yin, it's not that I think you are despicable, but that you have completely changed!"

Chu Yin focused on her and wanted to hold her hand, but was hastily avoided by his.

"Chu Yin, the only thing that can be said between the two of us is that we are fated to be together! Some people would never be able to live together for the rest of their lives. But true love does not necessarily have to stay together for the rest of one's life. Watching the other person choose a life that they like is also a kind of happiness. "

Chu Yin really didn't like hearing Wei Qing say such words. The hostility on his face became thicker and thicker, and dark clouds rolled in her eyes.

"Qing`er, by saying this, you are simply trying to persuade me not to cooperate with Long Xiaotian. As long as you draw a clear line between yourself and Xiao Qingqian, I can promise you that! "

He was now a little suspicious as to why Long Xiaotian's subGu was still ineffective in such a long time, and why Wei Qing was still able to firmly remember these things after so many days had passed!
