MTL - Empress True Colors-Chapter 87v3 Dige changed my flag today!
The fifth day of September in the year 372 of the Great Wilderness calendar.
The soldiers approached the city.
The phalanx lined up stood towering in the distance of the blue-gray city wall of Dige, the cold light of soldiers' armor and the surging black waves on the moat echoed each other,
Under the banner of the bright red Henghalberd Army, Jing Hengbo put up the eaves with his hands, facing the morning sun, looking at the three flagpoles on the city wall.
Emperor Song Three Banners.
In the middle, the golden phoenix flag belonging to the founding queen is still the same as before, hunting around the city, with the golden phoenix flying in the air on the flag, and the black phoenix eyes looking down at the wilderness with a bit of indifference and a bit of sarcasm.
On the left, the bright red and **** contemporary Queen's flag looks shabby compared to the Jinfeng flag. There is a reason for this shabby—because it has never been replaced.
It has always been the original banner, and the banner that she drew with a big cross has not been repaired at all. The strong wind, frost, snow and hail at the top of the city made the crack even bigger. From a distance, it looks like a few torn black sheets. With a big mouth, he sneered in the sky.
All the soldiers of the Henghalberd Army raised their heads awe-inspiringly, staring at the flag with disbelief in their eyes.
Back then when the Queen was exiled, the legend of the emperor's song flag being smashed by the city had already spread throughout the wilderness. At the moment when the real soldier stepped on the Emperor Song and faced the iron wall, could he really still see the crossed flag that humiliated the entire Emperor Song?
Everyone gave up hope, including Jing Hengbo himself. The ruler of Dige will not allow such a flag full of humiliation to still fly in the political center of the Great Wilderness, and will not allow the oath of a down and out queen to still cast a shadow over the heads of the Dige people with a flag.
However, I will meet you at the Emperor Song City today.
The moment they saw the broken flag, the blood in everyone's chest seemed to be ignited - two years ago, the woman fought desperately in the city, and two years later she finally led the army back, using the enemy's muscles and bones as the thread, and using the spears For the needle, make up the queen's flag again!
The woman's slightly lazy and hoarse voice seemed to echo in everyone's ears, echoing over the city.
"That's my flag, my coat of arms has been engraved, it's this fork!"
"This fork tells you: Today I will be a fool first, and tomorrow you will all be fools!"
"This flag, sooner or later, I will repair it. If you have a feeling, you can change it. Whoever changes it, I will kill the whole family in the future!"
I don't know who was excited, and shouted "嗤", "Today Dige will change my flag!"
"Today Dige will change our flag!" All the troops shouted in unison, the faces of the guards on the city wall were ashen, and the flag was turbulent.
Among the crowd, only Jing Hengbo, who should have been the most excited, was calm.
She just stared at the queen's flag for a long time. From the moment she saw the flag, she seemed to be a little shaken, but the shock was fleeting, and then she calmed down, looked at the flag carefully, and made sure that the flag was indeed her own back then. The side that was cut when walking.
At this moment, her eyes are complicated—sadness, anger, pain, helplessness, melancholy, desolation... The morning light has turned into a sunset in her eyes at this moment, filled with the farewell and pursuit of the setting sun, but without the excitement and joy it should have .
Beside her, Yeluqi suddenly turned his head to look at her, then at the queen's flag, his eyes flashed, and he sighed slightly.
Jing Hengbo's gaze has slowly shifted to Dige Banner on the right.
There is no flag there. The bare flagpole was also a bit shorter than the other two, with mottled cut marks on it, which were left by her back then.
The emperor's song flag, which was printed with white mountains and black waters, representing the national teacher, did not rise again.
It was clear that the pole was empty, but Jing Hengbo raised his head, faced the sunlight, and fixed his eyes on that position. The sunlight was so fierce that it slowly dried the puddle of inexplicable liquid in her eyes.
At this moment, with the mighty emperor song, the majestic army, and the wild wilderness, no one knows what she is thinking.
Suddenly there was movement on the city wall, the soldiers were reinforcing the city defense, they were running very fast, far away on the city, the yellow umbrella canopy meandered all the way up the city.
The emperor came to the city.
The Hengji army also made a low noise, focusing on Jing Hengbo, waiting for her to give an order.
Jing Hengbo remained motionless, staring closely at the slightly blurred slender figure under Huang Luo's umbrella.
Although he became the emperor, that man was still dressed in white, as if he didn't want the change of identity to obliterate his most distinctive personal characteristics.
Under the canopy of Huang Luo, Zou Zheng saw the army below at a glance, and his heart tightened. At the front of the ten thousand army, the one dressed in fiery red, needless to say, is the famous and almost legendary Queen of Black Water, Jing Hengbo. I can't see her face clearly from such a distance, but the woman's posture is always different. At the moment when the two armies are facing each other, she is still not wearing armor, sitting on the horse with a slightly slanted waist, a big red silk robe and slightly curly black hair. Floating in the wind, the hard lines of the armor behind her have just been engraved, while she is soft and lazy like a bright red ribbon.
The combination of iron blood and femininity is obviously disharmonious, but at this moment, it makes people's hearts move, as if seeing the blood-stained blade stir up a ray of bright morning glow.
From a distance, he couldn't see the face clearly, but Zou Zheng suddenly felt that the woman seemed to be smiling.
Lazily, slantingly, fingers holding the rein, smiling at him.
This feeling made his heart tremble - did she see something? No, it's so far away, it's impossible!
Turning his head again, most of the soldiers on the top of the city were staring at the corner of the red clothes. The faces of those young and young Ai were full of longing, wasn't it?
He laughed dumbfounded in his heart.
Perhaps, all the men in the city felt that she was looking at him and smiling, right?
Naturally born stunner, that is the case.
He heaved a sigh of relief, so as not to be too affected, he simply turned his eyes away, and then he saw the Three Banners of Dige.
He was startled, and couldn't help being furious, "What's the matter with this flag?"
He clearly remembered that not long after he ascended the throne, he ordered the queen's flag to be cancelled, leaving only two flags at the top of the city, one was the golden phoenix flag of the founding queen, and the other was the golden dragon flag he designed for himself.
However, at this moment, the three flags are still there, the Queen's flag is fluttering in tatters, and his flag is not there at all!
At the moment when the Henghalberd army arrived, this situation made him even more embarrassed. Could it be that Di Ge was showing weakness and waiting for others to fill up the flag?
The soldiers on all sides looked at each other, but no one could answer, and the city guard looked stunned—he had never received an order to change the flag.
Zou Zheng clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, and he once again felt that uncontrollable and helpless feeling, but this is not the time to pursue or get angry, which can only expose his incompetence, he turned his eyes back, Seeing the wide white skirt that kept up with the city wall far away, my heart couldn't help but twitch.
That weird woman is also here. He delayed in every possible way, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if she was sure that he would hand over the throne.
This made him irritable, and he turned his head away from her. Signal the general who defends the city to step forward and shout to the city.
"Queen of Black Water! You are the minister of my wilderness. How can you usurp and conspire against the city of Dige? Why don't you retreat quickly and bind yourself in front of His Majesty? You really want these 100,000 tigers because of your ambition!" Arrogant, buried under this mighty city?!"
Jing Hengbo raised his head. But he didn't look at the general who was shouting clichés.
"Gong Yin, you come to see me."
The general's expression changed, "Boldly rebellious, dare to call His Majesty by his first name!"
Zou Zheng waved his hand, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, it is said that the Queen of Black Water and Gong Yin had some kind of affair at the beginning, now she is flying thousands of miles to the city of Dige because of a death order, but this kind of crazy behavior, how can it be Doesn't it mean that the woman's mind is not dead? This is a posture to ask her clearly in person, if she can be persuaded to change her mind...
The fist under the wide sleeve couldn't help but clenched tightly again.
If she could be persuaded to change her mind, not only would the siege of Dige be resolved, but also the threat of the inexplicable woman behind her would surely disappear.
He took a step forward and ordered someone to pass on a message, "If you want to see me, come and see me! I will give you an explanation!"
In order to prevent Jing Hengbo from giving up hope and going all out, he pointed to the city, "It's not too late to rein in the horse."
Jing Hengbo raised his voice and sneered, "I have led the rebel army to the city, how do you want me to rein in the precipice?"
Zou Zheng glanced at Xu Pingran behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "Dige City is strong and guarded by Yuzhao Kanglong. How can you fight against my Xiongcheng? I know you are unwilling, but as long as you abandon your weapon Enter the city, tell me a story, you and the Henghalberd Army will have a way out, how about it?"
Jing Hengbo seemed to be in a daze, and didn't answer for a long time. Zou Zheng stared at her figure, feeling restless like porridge.
After a long time, Jing Hengbo said slowly: "Gong Yin, why do you treat me like this?"
Her tone was bleak, as if she was looking at Zou Zheng, and also seemed to be looking out of the sky through him. This sentence seemed to be a question, but it was just like asking about the clouds in the sky, the endless sky.
Zou Zheng listened and felt that there must be room for the woman to ask such a question, he glanced at Xu Pingran again, and said: "I will tell you the truth when I enter the city, don't worry, I can swear here that I will never hurt your life !"
He pressed his chest to show his oath, and the hard touch of his fingers made his heart settle.
Under the robe was a body armor, which Mingcheng personally put on for him this morning. Because of the complicated affairs, the husband and wife who haven't been together for a long time, this morning's rare affection, Mingcheng's finger gently brushed under his jaw, and tied the ribbon of the soft armor tightly.
Her voice was as gentle as a drizzle in March, "This is a treasured armor in the palace. I have been hiding it for a long time, and now I am giving it to you. You have to cherish your life. Only you can have me."
Zou Zheng stroked his chest, thinking that at this critical moment, husband and wife are still husband and wife, and Mingcheng still understands the overall situation after all. In this great wilderness, the one who can depend on her for life is not himself.
The treasure armor is indeed a treasure armor, he has tested it, and even a dagger made of refined steel can't cut an inch, which gave him the courage to go to the city and face these terrifying women.
The bright red flag was flying, half covering Jing Hengbo's face, she turned her head slightly, as if she was listening to something, and then she smiled softly.
"Okay, I'll come."
Wan Jun was silent, no one was moved by her decision, and no one dissuaded her.
It seemed that she was going to die, and everyone accompanied her.
Zou Zheng was quite pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that Jing Hengbo was really willing to enter the city alone to negotiate, he hurriedly took a look at Xu Pingran, the woman's snow-white skirt was silent, without expression or movement, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her.
Zou Zheng hastily said to the guarding general: "You can't open the city gate to release the drawbridge, arrange the hanging basket to lower the moat, and let the queen come up on the hanging basket."
The general hurried to make arrangements, and Zou Zheng told Jing Hengbo what he meant. Seeing that she had no objection and seemed about to dismount, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Jing Hengbo was about to dismount, everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
Suddenly someone on the top of the city screamed, "What!" Then there was a rattling sound, and a scream, "Ah!"
The sound was so tragic that it attracted everyone to turn their heads suddenly, and saw a black shadow passing behind a soldier who was leaning against the city wall, and a super-long tail-like leg could be vaguely seen, and some mottled scales shone in the sun. In a flash.
When everyone chased after him, they saw the soldier leaning against the city wall, his neck hanging limply, and when he touched his throat, it was already broken.
The crowd was in an uproar, and some people rushed to the side of the city wall to look down, only to vaguely see a long black shadow, which looked like a snake and was much bigger than a snake, slipped and flicked and disappeared into the grass under the city.
Zou Zheng didn't step forward when the chaos started, he subconsciously shrank behind the soldiers, and then he caught Xu Pingran out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help being startled.
That Yuan Tingyue Zhi, with an astonishingly calm demeanor, had been motionless since she went to the city, but at this moment she suddenly took a step forward, staring at the dead soldier, her complexion changed slightly.
Zou Zheng was a little surprised, and couldn't help but also glanced at the soldier's corpse. Except that the bone in his throat was broken, and it looked a bit strange as if he was suddenly strangled to death by a giant snake, there was nothing unusual about the corpse, and he didn't know what he saw. How could a cruel woman who is used to death lose her color because of this corpse.
He was still thinking about the city, turned his gaze, and saw that Jing Hengbo had dismounted from his horse, his red clothes were fluttering, he lowered his head slightly, and was walking towards the hanging basket that lowered the city wall.
He was overjoyed, and hurriedly summoned the soldiers to clean up the corpses as soon as possible. A row of soldiers stood in front of the city wall, readying crossbows and bows, aiming at the queen in the hanging basket, lest she suddenly attack after going to the city.
He stared at the queen's steps, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see what was wrong. He laughed in his heart that he was too nervous, and quietly wiped the sweat from his palms on the front of his clothes.
Seeing that the queen really sat on the hanging basket and was slowly lifted up, and the hanging basket continued to rise, his high-hanging heart slowly fell.
Seeing that the hanging basket was halfway up, he turned his head and smiled at the general beside him: "If the hanging rope is cut off at this time, Her Majesty the Queen will be smashed into a meatloaf, it would be a beautiful thing to think about."
Before the general could reply with a funny smile, someone suddenly said with a smile: "Really? If you cut off your two halves at this time, I think it would be a good thing."
The voice is lazy, slightly hoarse, with a slight rise in the end, listening, ecstasy.
Zou Zheng hadn't heard this voice before, but his intuition was not good, he felt a bang in his heart, and wanted to back away.
But there was already an extra hand in front of his chest, snow-white and slender, with slender fingertips, the movements were light but extremely precise, and he grabbed at the hem of his clothes.
With the same lazy and hoarse voice, he said with a smile: "Peel the skin and see what it is!"
The voice came out from this side, and under the banner of the city over there, two figures shot out, one of them took a quick step, without looking back, a golden light flashed all over the sky, and the other was forced to turn back. He had already been dragged back by the general and shouted, "Young commander must not!"
Pei Shu, who was a step too late, was attacked by a hidden weapon and then dragged back, angrily cursed: "Yeluqi, you traitor!"
The silver black shadow flies like a wild goose, crosses half of the moat, climbs up the rope, jumps into the hanging basket, and then jumps up through the hanging basket. When the rope was hastily cut, he had already appeared on the top of the city.
At this time, Jing Hengbo was grabbing Zou Zheng.
With a flash of white shadow, Xu Pingran appeared, and with a flick of his fingertips, his snow-white fingers were flicked away.
"You are a bit cunning," Xu Pingran said lightly with a smile on his lips, "It's a pity that I'm here. No matter how you come, you will end up dead."
"Really, then I have to try." Jing Hengbo laughed lazily.
The two slender figures separated in a flash, the red and white shadows crossed, their respective skirts flying, Zou Zheng was staggered by the whirling air current of the two women, and hurriedly retreated behind Xu Pingran.
But Jing Hengbo was unwilling to let go, and his figure appeared behind Zou Zheng in a flash, and he grabbed it again.
Xu Pingran raised his eyebrows, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, his figure turned around, and was about to give this ignorant woman a memorable memorial that she would never forget, when suddenly he felt a chill behind him, and murderous aura on all sides, like the turbulent rain. Come.
She paused and turned around slowly.
opposite.
On the stack of blue-gray plates, Yeluqi stood in the autumn sun, her silver and black robes curled upwards, the long sword in her hand was straight and straight, a pool of autumn water, condescending, aimed at her eyebrows.
His smile remained the same, a bit charming, and his tone was relaxed and soft in the autumn golden wind.
He said:
"Your opponent is me, ma'am."
