The battle outside the city is still going on. Under the attack of Great Zhou elite and Nanchen soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of elite horses are retreating. In this narrow hilly area, the advantage of being a Royal court iron cavalry is completely unable to be used. The other party's bite, and continued to lose blood.

But they did not fall apart. As the most powerful cavalry in the Royal court, all of them have experienced battles. just wonder, where did Nanchen come with such intrepid cavalry reinforcements, do they always hide their strength?

What really put this team into the abyss of defeat was the news from the city.

The young emperor is dead! Died in the conspiracy and assassination of the Tubi patriarch. The authenticity has not yet been determined, and news of the outbreak of civil unrest in Nanlan City was soon received. Many tribal leaders began to indulge their soldiers and horses to looting and killing, under the banner of revenge for the emperor.

A series of bad news immediately caused chaos in the army. The leading general tried his best to restore the situation, but he could not stop the panic.

The enemy is pressing hard at every step, constantly biting at one's own vitality, and the command is extremely delicate. The Royal court general organized cavalry attacks several times, but was dragged to death by the opponent. Seeing that the defeat was set, several generals could only grit their teeth and command the remaining remnants to retreat.

After the warrior broke his wrist and abandoned the follow-up troops, only a few remnants escaped.

***********

The sky was pale, and this chaotic night finally passed, but the darkness that belonged to Nanlan City still continued. The arrival of daylight did not stop the pace of burning, killing, and looting in the city.

It took Qin Nuo and his party a lot of effort to finally leave the city. There were also some red-eyed soldiers and horses in the middle, mistakenly thinking that they were competitors fighting for territory and attacked. Chen Changan quickly broke up with soldiers and horses.

Everyone stopped and walked all the way, and it was noon before they arrived at the eastern pier to join the large group.

On the edge of the eastern dock, backed by the navy warship behind him, a team of men and horses stationed on a hill on the shore.

Seeing Qin Nuo and his party approaching, Lin Jia led everyone to greet them.

"The son!" His face was full of joy, which was the complacency after planning a big victory.

Even the plan went smoother than originally expected, and Nanlan City was in a mess.

Qin Nuo nodded, his eyes swept across the distance, on the open pier slope, the two groups of people were clearly separated. Here is the Great Zhou soldiers and horses carried by Lin Jia and others, and on the other side of the hill is Nanchen's gang.

Chen Xuan was standing under a big tree, surrounded by the numerous guards who came and went with the navy admiral Yuan Chong. After a day and a night, they probably already knew that in this battle, they were not the chess players they had originally expected, but a chess piece that was completely manipulated by Da Zhou. Looking at this side from afar at this time, I feel complicated.

Qin Nuo's gaze fell on Pei Tuo and said: "Send His Royal Highness Nine over."

Pei Tuo was a little surprised. He was taken aback, and walked to the side of Chen Li with a hum.

The two looked at each other, and then they staggered their eyes.

Chen Li turned over from the horse, and rushed for most of the day. His steps were vacant and his body shook.

Pei Tuo stretched out his hand to help him, and whispered: "Let's go."

Chen Li glanced at him and said nothing. The two went to Nanchen's small group together.

Qin Nuo didn't have the time to care about the strange mood of the two.

All his mind was attracted by the extravagant loot.

Under the bright sunlight, the huge fleet of ships anchored by the sea looked even more lovely than the last time saw it.

After all, it is now its own fleet.

The first time he stepped on the deck of a big ship, Qin Nuo's eyes were like a dragon that loves gold coins falling into a treasure house filled with gold, full of greed and eagerness.

Stroking the shiny and translucent railing, tapping lightly, making a crisp metal plate. Just as the miser heard the sound of gold coins, Qin Nuo felt comfortable.

"These are huge trees over 300 years old in the land of Lingnan. They are harder than gold and iron. I remember that several hall beams in the palace are also made of this material." Lin Jia followed him and laughed.

"Such a mighty and majestic navy is invincible across the sea. The minister congratulates the emperor for another weapon." Chen Changan also smiled.

"Don't be so murderous. When the dust of this battle is settled and the world is in Jingping, this navy can also play its real role, clearing the sea, opening up waterways, and developing ocean trade." Qin Nuo smiled. He is more eager to use this navy to develop maritime trade and benefit the people than to open up new territories.

"The emperor is indeed the lord of benevolence. It's just that these big ships are very complicated, and they need to be studied in detail."

Qin Nuo sighed, "I hope Chen Li's mouth can convince his stubborn brother."

Not only the manipulation of ships, but also the repair and maintenance are technical tasks that require specialized personnel. So he was only willing to give Chen Li a chance before.

From the deck to the cabin, and then to the control room, Qin Nuo was deeply shocked by the complicated mechanism inside. In this era, he was able to design such a huge and advanced ship. The wisdom of the designers back then was really amazing. No wonder Great Zhou has been unable to imitate it for so many years.

Yunxiaoge is really too big, it took an afternoon, but just saw the outline.

After receiving the triumphant report from Fang Yuan and others, Qin Nuo reluctantly returned to the deck.

The sky has dimmed. He changed to a boat and returned to the pier.

As soon as he stood firm, there was the sound of the shaking of the mountains in the distance, which was the momentum of a large number of cavalry horses galloping. In a blink of an eye, the dust is flying, and tens of thousands of spirits are riding here. The leading man has black armor and is covered with stars and moon.

Looking at Fang Yuan returning, both Qin Nuo and Chen Xuan couldn't help taking a step forward.

Commanding the troops and horses to be stationed in the open field below the hillside, Fang Yuan brought a dozen guards to the top of the hill where Qin Nuo was standing.

Chen Xuan stood on the top of the mountain on the other side, staring at his back in a daze.

Qin Nuo helped Fang Yuan who was kneeling on the ground and smiled: "This battle has been hard."

The iron cavalry in the Royal court of Müller's Royal court is strong and powerful, which is difficult for the idle cavalry to deal with. Thanks to this man, Nanchen's fleet was leveled with no effort, and the 20,000 garrisons were allowed to cooperate with them inside and outside, together with the Xuelie clan and Dazhou cavalry, to win smoothly.

Fang Yuan stared at the lord who had been missing for many days, and said with a serious face: "The minister can only travel all the way and fight a fight. What can be considered, compared to the torment of the adults in the palace and the court, it is just a trifle. pile."

Qin Nuo wanted to sigh with shame, but the victory in front of him was too pleasing, and the little pride in his heart couldn't be suppressed, so he could only smile and said, "I am too self-willed to make you worry."

"The emperor is safe." Fang Yuan gave him a helpless look and replied.

After more than half a year of separation, there were countless things to say between the two parties, and Qin Nuo had countless questions to ask, but the most urgent task was the follow-up arrangement.

Chen Xuan and Yuan Chong were standing on another mountain top.

Lei Yangbing returned with Fang Yuan and reported the details of the previous battle. He wasn't a fool either. He had already discovered that General Bai, whom he trusted, had not only come back from the dead, but his position seemed to be different from before.

He was shocked, Yuan Chong and the other generals were also puzzled, but their emperor had a gloomy face, and they didn't dare to ask questions.

Chen Li talked to Chen Xuan for an afternoon. She didn't know what the brothers were talking about. Chen Xuan's expression was cold and stiff.

When they were filled with confusion, everyone in Nanchen stared at the opposite side.

Accompanied by Fang Yuan, Qin Nuo walked over to the hills here.

Except for these two people, the others all watched from a distance and did not follow.

In a blink of an eye, the two arrived on this hill.

Qin Nuo went straight to Chen Xuan.

Unshakeably meeting his gaze, the emperor of Great Zhou smiled at the emperor of Nanchen: "Can you talk about it alone?"

Chen Xuan's eyes were full of shock. He hadn't seen Qin Nuo's face clearly before he was far away. At this time, he looked at this handsome and gentle smiling face, which was extremely familiar.

"Are you... Your Royal Highness?"

The meeting in the Yuanse Terrace Garden was so impressive that Chen Xuan recognized it at a glance.

Chen Xuan's gaze fell on Fang Yuan again, recalling the behavior between the two just now. He immediately realized: "Are you Thirteenth’s Princess of Da Zhou?"

It's no wonder that Beishuo couldn't search all over. It turns out that the princess has turned into a spiritual girl. Xiaoyin is hidden in the mountains, and the big hidden in the morning, who knows that the spiritual girl above the hall is actually the princess of Da Zhou.

Such a layout of the Xuelie clan must have had a head and tail with the Great Zhou court. I hate that they thought they could form an alliance with it. It is no wonder that the Ninth Brother's meticulousness was also miserable. Chen Xuan is also a sharp-minded person. His thoughts turned sharply and he immediately guessed the "truth".

"Uh..." Qin Nuo suddenly felt a little embarrassed, do you want to admit his true identity? If you don't admit it, it's hard to say next, but how can you confess?

Distressed, he looked at Chen Li next to him.

Chen Li blinked and immediately understood what he liked. He reached Chen Xuan's ear and said two words in a low voice.

In an instant, Chen Xuan's expression became extremely wonderful, and the eyes staring at Qin Nuo were shocked and confused.

Hey, is this necessary? Qin Nuo rolled his eyes inwardly.

Not wanting to let this embarrassing atmosphere continue, Qin Nuo repeated what he said just now.

Only then did Chen Xuan wake up, staring at Fang Yuan unconsciously, but stopped abruptly when he turned halfway, and said in a deep voice to Qin Nuo: "Okay."

The two went down the hill without riding a horse, so they walked side by side on the grass.

As the sun sets, the sky is overcast, as if a storm is brewing.

At the far end of the horizon, the riots in Nanlan City had not yet ended, and the shouts of killing were heard vaguely.

Condescendingly overlooking the once prosperous city, the city became full of smoke overnight. Qin Nuo is in a mixed mood. After this big victory, Beishuo is afraid that an unprecedented chaos will be ushered in. The killing and clan conflicts in the eastern grasslands, and the power vacuum left by Mu Kun's death in the distant court...

The sound in his ear interrupted his thoughts.

"It is often heard that a gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall. The prince of a country, risking arrows and lurking behind the enemy, never thought that your Majesty would take such a risk.

"You are polite, it's nothing compared to your country's Nine Highnesses." Qin Nuo coughed, "Furthermore, your Majesty has been in Nanchen for many years, and he has not experienced anything less than the matter of taking a shot at the arrow. "

On the Nanchen front, Chen Xuan has also been on the battlefield many times.

"When the national power is declining, it is natural to be helpless. The emperor sits on the world and the national power is strong, so why take such a dangerous move."

"Actually, the incident happened suddenly and by chance. If it weren't for such a coincidence, I wouldn't be able to meet your Majesty in this land." Qin Nuo smiled.

Chen Xuan's face was gloomy, and she obviously thought of the first time the two met very unpleasantly.

"The last time I met, I offended your Majesty, ah, I apologize first, please don't mind." Qin Nuo thought for a while and decided to be polite, after all, he beat someone.

Chen Xuan did not answer, but showed a sarcasm.

"Your Majesty has the upper hand today. In the Nanlan City Rebellion, the Tubi tribe will not be able to recover, and the Great Zhou front will be like a broken bamboo. The new king of Beishuo is lost again, the government is chaotic, and he is incapable of going south in a short time. In addition, he has conquered the Xuelie tribe. This kind of long knife and sharp edge of Beishuo, in the future, there is no worry about the world." Chen Xuan said word by word, "Today, Xuan is no more than a bird in a cage. How can you be a prisoner of your majesty."

The victory of Nanlan City may not be publicly recorded in the annals of history, but the benefits of this victory to the Great Zhou court are not inferior to the battle at Hangu Pass. From then on, Beishuo's government was in chaos, and it was no longer possible to threaten Da Zhou. Chen Li's words of persuasion before, sounded in my ears. There is no hope for the restoration of the country, at least in my life, it is impossible to see it.

You don't even have to think so far away, just look at the front, although your own soldiers and horses are not damaged much, but the hearts of the people are floating, all this is only because of the appearance of that person. From Yuan Chong to Lei Yangbing, he was full of doubts, but didn't know how to speak.

Let Fang Yuan take over the fleet, this move is really ruthless.

"For him, Your Majesty is really doing his best." Chen Xuan said bitterly.

Qin Nuo looked at the moonlight in the sky and said leisurely: "I met Fang Yuan, but it was just a coincidence. But for me, this coincidence was the luckiest thing. Without him, when I was the prince, He has been killed in Huangquan, and if he had no me, I am afraid that he would have been defeated and killed in the battlefield, silently in oblivion."

"His temperament, I know it all. If you weren't a monarch worth following, you wouldn't let him follow so hard."

Beyond Qin Nuo's expectation, Chen Xuan did not sarcasm or deny anything, but just said indifferently.

Qin Nuo didn't claim to be me, nor did he, and the two of them just spoke in a flat and natural way.

"Now your Majesty is sailing smoothly, the power of the Great Zhou is flourishing, and the domination of the world is just around the corner. Why waste your tongue? What your Majesty asks is nothing more than the navy fleet's organs, and the ownership of the six counties of Nanchen, with him, Everything can be calmed down, such as being destroyed, why worry about it?"

Chen Xuan was right. Now the navy has fallen into the hands of Da Zhou. Even if the remnants are loyal to Nanchen, they cannot all die to death. As long as Fang Yuan comes forward to surrender, they will eventually be willing to submit. The attitude of their brothers is not indispensable.

The sky was completely dark, and the moon appeared silently on the horizon.

The young man standing in front of him was handsome and refined, and his desolation and loneliness became more and more moving.

Qin Nuo looked at him, and suddenly thought, if Chen Xuan hadn't escaped from the capital and Bai Guangxi hadn't escaped in the same year when the Southern Dynasty destroyed the country, what would things be like?

With this man's appearance, he was defeated and captured at the age of thirteen, and was living in the capital, fearing that life might be worse than death. And Bai Guangxi... well, has been killed by Pei Ling. Pei Ling said that the whole family of Tu Ren would be the whole family, without any discount.

Thinking of this, Microsoft made a little peace in my heart.

Qin Nuo looked at the moon slowly rising in the sky, and said, "It's just early autumn, the weather in Beishuo is already so cold. Doesn't your Majesty feel cold?"

Chen Xuan was taken aback, looking at Qin Nuo in a daze, what kind of weather did he talk about?

Qin Nuo pressed his forehead, as if thinking about how to speak. Finally, he decided to start straight: "Have your majesty heard of the Little Ice Age?"

Chen Xuan:?
