There was blood everywhere under the city, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was pungent.

The Marquis of Jing'an stood on the city tower and watched it for a whole day, until it was dark and the Pingnan army besieging the city slowly retreated, and he slowly turned around and walked down the city tower.

Throughout the day, he witnessed the entire siege of the city, during which he also shot more than a dozen Pingnan soldiers with his own hands, because there were more than a dozen guards by his side at any time, Li Xin was unharmed except for the arm scratched by a stray arrow.

After he walked down the city tower, he saw that there were many injured forbidden soldiers downstairs in Mianzhucheng, who were carried down one by one, and after cleaning and treating the wounds with Zhurong wine, there was a doctor who had been found in advance to help bandage them.

Li Xin looked around, inquired about the injuries of some of the wounded, and went to the city gate to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the city gate, and then returned to his residence.

The place where he lives is next to the county office, which is the center of Mianzhu, and when he returns to his residence at this time, there is not much sound here, the silence is terrible, and the fighting outside the city has not affected the slightest bit here.

After entering the residence, Zhao Jia had been here for a long time, and when he saw Li Xin coming in, he quickly stood up from the stool and said, "Master Hou, the subordinates you explained have been done. ”

Li Xin sat down a little tired and waved his hand at Zhao Jia.

"Brother You'an, you're welcome, sit down and talk."

Li Xin has never paid much attention to these rules, so Zhao Jia didn't pay too much attention to them, and sat down very simply, and said with a low brow at Li Xin: "Master Hou, today's casualties have not been counted, but when my subordinates were on the city tower before, they roughly estimated that today's siege of the city lasted a whole day, and those Pingnan troops suffered at least thousands of casualties, if you are bolder, this number should be able to reach five thousand." ”

The loss of 5,000 men in a day is a very exaggerated number, and it is difficult to imagine that even in a large-scale army battle on the plains, it is difficult to imagine the loss of 5,000 men in a day.

This time, it was the Pingnan army who fought for their lives and forcibly attacked the city regardless of casualties, which brought this terrifying casualty figure to life.

The Marquis of Jing'an was not very happy, but said lightly: "What about our army?" ”

Zhao Jia lowered his head and lowered his voice a little.

"I'm afraid there are two or three thousand people, but we have a toast, as long as the soldiers are not too seriously injured, they will not lose their lives."

After being disinfected by Zhurong wine, as long as the body is tough, you can survive, instead of being inflamed or tetanus as before, your life will be gone.

Li Xin nodded, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Brother You'an has worked hard, let's go down and rest." ”

"They should come back tomorrow."

Zhao Jia got up and said to Li Xinzuo: "Hou Ye also rested earlier, and the overall situation of Mianzhu depends on Hou Ye to preside." ”

Li Xin nodded and smiled reluctantly.

"Don't worry, I'm not a virgin, and the damned will die."

Of course, Zhao Jia couldn't understand what the Holy Mother meant, he stopped and asked in amazement, "Master Hou, what does the Holy Mother mean?" ”

Li Xin waved his hand.

"It's not interesting, I'll talk to Brother You'an later."

………………

As Li Xin said, the attack of the Pingnan Army on the second day was much weaker than the first day, and Ye Mao was still a little anxious on the first day, and even felt a little weak, but on the second day, this little grandfather was much more comfortable, just bent his bow and arrows at will, and shot a few arrows from time to time, each arrow could accurately shoot a soldier of the Pingnan Army.

He was born in the Ye family, and at the age of five, he followed his family to practice bows and arrows, and there were no arrows within fifty steps, and nine shots out of ten within 100 steps, which was the most basic requirement of the Ye family.

Because there was not much pressure on this day, Li Xin only watched on the city wall for half a day, and at noon, he told Zhao Jia a few words and went back to sleep.

When he walked down the tower, his hanging heart was completely relaxed, because after this step, the situation in the southwest was completely settled.

On the third day, the Pingnan army had already had some taste of cowardice because of heavy casualties but no results.

On this day, the Marquis of Jing'an didn't come at all, and entrusted all the things of defending the city to Ye Mao and He Song.

Just when the Marquis of Jing'an was resting at home, a big fat man came to the door.

It was the waste prince Ji Yu, who was arranged by Li Xin to live in the same house with him.

Originally, the Marquis of Jing'an was taking a nap in Meizizi, but after being awakened by Ji Yu's arrival, he yawned and walked out of the door, and as soon as he went out, he saw this chubby His Royal Highness the King of Qin, standing at his door, his expression was even a little timid.

To be honest, Li Xin still admires His Royal Highness the Abolished Prince, Li Xin heard some about his situation from Li Shuo, and if it was any person, in the case of Jincheng with wine, meat and women, he might not be willing to come out, but this former Royal Highness the Crown Prince was willing to walk out of Jincheng and come to a place like Mianzhu.

He also knew in his heart that when he really returned to the capital, he was basically dead or alive, but he still walked out resolutely.

Maybe it's for the small family of the Qin Wangfu in the capital, or maybe it's for the surname Ji on him.

Li Xin tidied up his clothes and bent over to Ji Yu: "Why did His Royal Highness King Qin come over?" ”

Ji Yu hurriedly returned the salute to Li Xin, smiled reluctantly, and said: "Hou Ye Li, I always hear the sound of fighting outside these days, and I always feel a little frightened. ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness King Qin, don't worry, you won't fight again tomorrow, and then His Royal Highness King Qin will be able to sleep well." ”

With that, Li Xin was ready to end the conversation.

"Your Highness, if you don't have anything else to do, Li Xin still has some affairs to deal with......"

This big fat man is a great scourge, with his identity, in the Taikang Dynasty, he is actually not much different from the plague god, basically whoever gets close to him will be unlucky.

Even if it is Li Xin, if he talks to him a few more words, it will spread in the future, and there will be some rumors.

But this fat prince obviously refused to let go of Li Xin, he arched his hand at Li Xin, bowed his head and said, "Master Li, if you are free, can you ask a few questions?" ”

Li Xin paused, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qin, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

The big fat man took a few deep breaths, sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly said, "Hou Ye Li, my third brother and fourth brother, how are you now?" ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Zhao and His Royal Highness King Qi are now in their respective fiefdoms, everyone has a city, and they should live well, why is His Royal Highness King Qin asking this?" ”

The waste prince lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Marquis Li is so smart, you should think about it, Lone actually wants to ask, after Lone returns to Beijing, is there still a way to live?" ”

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Your Highness is too worried, Your Majesty is the King of Benevolence and Virtue, Your Highness is Your Majesty's brother, and after returning to Beijing, it is the time for the two brothers to reconcile, so naturally there is a way to live." ”

The fat man's face turned pale.

His voice trembled a little.

"Hou Ye Li, don't coax me, I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that Lao Qi can't tolerate me."

He looked at Li Xin with some pleading.

"Marquis Li, if you die, you will die, but I want to go back to the capital and die again, I want to see my wife and ......."

Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves, lowered his head and did not speak.

To be honest, he didn't want to kill Ji Yu.

But His Royal Highness, the former King of Wei, nine out of nine, wanted Ji Yu to "die of illness" on the way back to Beijing!
