  As he arrived at the city wall, he saw countless Zhou people digging up piles of dirt and sending them to the city gate. Baidu search [56 book library] [Nani web funny picture sharing] Looking at their busy figures, the king of Luoyang's face turned white, muttering: "Could it be that they have blocked our reinforcements' path? No, no way, that's absolutely impossible."

  As soon as his voice fell, Zhang Gui said: "Cutting off the Heyang Road and stopping our reinforcements from coming is not a difficult task." She said seriously: "Tens of thousands of soldiers dig roads at the same time, and then block them with giant stones. It's just a matter of days."

  This time, her voice fell, and there was no sound again after four beats.

  Cheng Shi and others looked at Zhang Qi in unison, surprisingly wondering: Could it be that the military talent of the princess is not inferior to that of the prince?

  Luoyang Wang took a deep breath and his face turned ugly. "Under the hands of the 56th Book Library, it's absolutely impossible to stop."

  "Luoyang Wang has been praised." Zhang Gui bowed his head in gratitude and led the guards down from the city wall.

  Watching Zhang Gui leave, the King of Luoyang sighed to his attendants: "No wonder he was willing to offend the Zheng family for her sake. Such beauty, such intelligence - how many people can match this in the world?"

  Due to the command of King Luoyang and the full support of Empress Hu, Zhang Gui's status in Luoyang rose rapidly. Wherever he went, he was unimpeded, as if with a command. It was also obeyed by everyone without exception.

  Zheng Yu never thought that in the blink of an eye, Zhang Qi would have such a high status in Luoyang City. Now, with just one order from her, people would be willing to make holes for her as a noble lady.

  She never expected it at all.

  Sitting dryly in the room, Zheng Yu bit her lip and stared at the dark sky with a pale face. Since that woman appeared, her world has been like this black night, and there is no sunshine since then.

  With her eyes cast down, Zheng Yu felt that the resentment was suffocating her heart. Especially when she heard people mention the evaluation of Wang Luoyang, Zheng Yu felt like a shining star in the darkness. It was countless pairs of mocking and disdainful eyes.

  Originally, when people mentioned her, they were mostly sympathetic and sighed, some even indignantly resentful of Langling Wang. Recently, if it weren't for utilizing these people's sympathy towards her, she wouldn't have been able to return to the noblewoman circle and gain the favor of Empress Hu.

  But who would have known. Once Luoyang was besieged, in just two or three days, those gazes all changed. I'm afraid once the evaluation of the King of Luoyang spreads out, this world is vast, but there will be no place for Zhengshi to stand!

  The more she thought about it, the more resentment and hatred accumulated like a mountain. It was as if Zheng Yu couldn't even breathe.

  Gritting his teeth for a moment, Zheng Yu suddenly lit up with a bright idea and stood up.

  She turned her head and called out in a low voice: "Chen Qiao*, come in for a moment."

  "Yes."

  A middle-aged woman walked in.

  "Mother, go find Old Man Yang and borrow a carrier pigeon for me to use."

  Are you going to send a message pigeon? Is the young lady thinking of seeking help from Ye City and Jin Yang? Although Chen thought that this plea for help would likely be ineffective, she still went on an errand. Before long, she brought back a message pigeon.

  "Report to King of Langya, Hu Empress and Wang Consort are currently trapped in Luoyang City. The city is now surrounded by the Zhou army, unable to escape, hoping for your speedy arrival."

  After finishing writing, she tied the paper strip to the pigeon's foot and set it free.

  Looking at the white speck getting farther and farther away, Chen Niang suddenly exclaimed: "Miss, I just thought of something. Outside is all Zhou territory now, this carrier pigeon can't fly out! If we release it now, it will definitely be shot down by the Zhou people."

  It's just to prevent it from flying out, and the paper kite is for others to see!

  Zheng Yu sneered inwardly, but her expression was stunned. She clutched at a glimmer of hope and said: "Maybe, maybe Zhou Ren thinks it's useless for us to wait for rescue and is too lazy to bother with it?"

  That makes sense. Chen's wife was just an ordinary woman, so after thinking about it for a moment, she put the matter out of her mind.

  That carrier pigeon quickly flew out of the city wall, just as Zheng Yu had expected. In a twinkling, it was shot down by an arrow from a Zhou soldier.

  He shot down a carrier pigeon, Zhou looked at the note and ran into his tent.

  Before long, the note had been passed into the hands of Wang Xiong, a loyal official under Zhou Guo. Looking at the note in his hand, Wang snorted coldly and said, "What use are two women and children?"

  One of his personal guards standing beside him glanced over and frowned, saying: "It seems that this time we will be facing Gao Zhang Gong directly?"

  This time they divided their troops into two routes, one attacking Luoyang and the other responding to the Turks, forming an attacking force with them in the north. The King of Lanling won a great victory against the Turks in the Battle of Wuwei, earning great merit. Originally thought he would go north, now it seems that he must have gone to Luoyang to reinforce.

  Wang Xiong was reminded by him and nodded: "That's reasonable, quickly transfer this matter to Daizong Cai."

  The two had just discussed it here, and suddenly a gentle and powerful footsteps came, along with a elegant male voice, "Have the two of you discovered something that needs to be handed over to Daizuka?"

  As soon as the voice dropped, a handsome young man walked in.

  Seeing it was him, Wang Xiong burst out laughing and said: "Su Wei, you little scamp has also arrived? I just intercepted a carrier pigeon earlier."

  "Oh?" Su Wei's handsome face broke into a smile as he stepped forward and casually picked up the paper. With just one glance, he was taken aback, but then burst out laughing, "So Gao Zhan's little emperor is also here. Not bad, not bad."

  He slowly put the note into his bosom and said, "I'll give this to Daizong Chai."

  After a few cold words, Su Wei strode out of Wang Xiong's command tent. He arrived at Yuwen Hu's tent and handed him the note to take a look. After that, Su Wei led dozens of soldiers on horseback and charged out of the military camp.

  He arrived at Luoyang City.

  Looking up at the majestic city wall in front of him, Su Wei's figure was as still as a mountain.

  Seeing him dazed, a newly acquainted friend laughed and said: "What is Mr. Su looking at?" He whistled and chuckled: "Looking at your silly appearance, could there be someone you have a crush on inside?"

  "My sweetheart," Su Wei said with a gentle smile: "Yes, and inside is my wife who has yet to pass the threshold."

  The daughter-in-law who had not yet crossed the threshold, for such a long time, he thought that Ah Gui was his daughter-in-law. He sat in the study, often reading and smiling from the heart, feeling infinite joy and expectation in his heart.

  Unfortunately, good dreams are easy to wake up from...

  Unbeknownst to him, Su Wei's eyes had reddened. At this time, another school lieutenant burst out laughing, "Su Langjun is indeed fond of boasting, your bride who has not yet entered the door is clearly Princess Xin Xing, where in Luoyang would she be?"

  "So that's how it is, you scoundrel Su Wei, daring to deceive us!" "Haha, after we capture Luoyang City, Su Lang can have as many beauties as he wants." "Exactly, exactly. As the capital of Qi State, Luoyang must be full of beautiful women. After capturing the city, Su Jun, you can choose a few more."

  Among the loud laughter, Su Wei slowly pursed his lips.

  Like all the people of Zhou, Su Wei was confident in this expedition against Qi. After all, the strength of Qi was originally no match for that of Zhou. Now Yang Zhong and the Turks were holding back the Qi people in the north, and they had 100,000 elite troops here, so it could be said that taking Luoyang was only a matter of time.

  There was also Gao Changgong, who was heroic and talented, but unfortunately, Gao Yan was muddle-headed. In one battle, he squandered the 50,000 cavalrymen that Gao Changgong had trained with great difficulty. It can be said that even if Gao Changgong had a few hundred men at his disposal, it would have been difficult for him to escape with his life when facing tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

  If Gao Changgong died in the siege of Mangshan by Daxi Wudagong, Yuwen Shuqigong's hands, then Ah Qi...

  Su Wei's heart suddenly started racing rapidly.

  Slowly lowering his eyelids, he said gently: "Not bad, when the city is broken, I can welcome back my heart's desire." Unexpectedly, Su Wei also joined in their laughter and teasing, and everyone was taken aback at first, then burst into loud laughter.

  Inside Luoyang City.

  Zhou's troops had apparently completed their preparations and had launched wave after wave of siege attacks. However, many times their sieges were just to distract the defenders on the city walls, with half of their forces used to pile up earthworks.

  With Zhang Gui's warning, the Qi people focused on suppressing the Zhou people's earth-piling action. The arrows fell like a swarm of locusts, forcing the Zhou soldiers to hold up their heavy shields with one hand while pushing the soil with the other, greatly reducing their speed.

  But now, ten days have passed since the Jin army rushed to Luoyang from Jinyang. Even if they had marched at full speed, it would have taken only six or seven days. However, there is still no sign of reinforcements, and the Zhou army outside the city is moving slowly but surely. It's clear that the Zhou people are confident in their ability to capture Luoyang!

  Gradually, panic began to spread in the city.

  Zhang Qi sat in the wine tower, and soon Cheng Shi walked in with a bitter smile: "Princess, Empress Hu has sent someone to invite you again." In the past few days, Empress Hu had been looking for Zhang Qi two or three times a day. Sometimes, just as Zhang Qi was about to leave, she would be chased back by Empress Hu's men. After being chased back, there would be no important matters to discuss, only repeated inquiries about whether Zhang Qi was anxious and whether the city would be breached. This behavior, which was close to hysteria, was unbearable even for Cheng Shi and others.

  "En." Zhang Qi responded with a gentle voice, slowly standing up, taking the cloak handed over by the maid, and quietly said: "Then let's go."

  Cheng Shih, who had not slept well for ten days due to pressure, involuntarily raised his head and glanced at Zhang Qi. As he looked, he suddenly said: "The queen is calm and composed, no wonder the empress and others trust her so much!" The Zhang Qi in front of him was indeed calmer than these hundred-battle warriors who had crawled out of the knife mountain and fire sea, truly making people admire.

  Calm? Zhang Gui curved her eyes, compared to the panicked and uneasy Luoyang people, she was indeed calm.
