You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 335 Miss, Chu Bai is here

The snow has never stopped falling since now. Marquis Xuanping kneels in front of Xiao Yun's bedroom, his back hunched. His hands, which are covered with thick calluses from years of martial arts practice, are placed on the black box. His eyes are still dull and his face is pale.

The fine snow fluttered in the wind and fell on his head and his clothes, but Marquis Xuanping did not care.

He stared at the black box in front of him, the light and shadow constantly changing with the flow of time.

The candles on the lanterns in the palace were blown out by the maid on duty, and the entire mansion was plunged into darkness. Only two candles were left on at the door of Xiao Yin's bedroom.

Late at night, the maid came to change the candlelight and added a fox fur coat to Marquis Xuanping, who was kneeling motionless on the corridor.

Marquis Xuanping did not make any move. Even in the middle of the night, when the fox fur was blown away by a strong wind, he did not pick it up.

The deep black gradually turned gray and then white, until the first ray of daylight completely tore through the darkness. The sound of a door opening came from above, and Marquis Xuanping seemed to be activated.

"I have delayed military intelligence and deserve death. Please punish me, Third Prince!"

The voice of Marquis Xuanping echoed in the quiet morning, sounding particularly clear.

The person above my head didn't speak or even move.

Xuanping Hou bent down, prostrated himself on the ground, knocked his forehead heavily, and said loudly:

"I am willing to die to atone for my crime. I only ask that the Third Prince not commit crimes similar to those committed by my family!"

His voice was already a little hoarse.

There was still no movement overhead.

Xuanping Hou's heart tightened, and he kowtowed heavily again:

"I raised a thief as my son, which delayed the opportunity to fight. My crime is unforgivable. Please, Third Prince, kill me immediately!"

The door creaked, and someone in the bedroom walked out, a pair of clean soap shoes falling within his sight. The man's voice was low, even gentle, but every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, suppressing Marquis Xuanping from raising his head.

"Marquis Xuanping, do you know what will happen if I can't defend Dongling City?"

"Once Dongling City is destroyed, Beijue will lead their cavalry to burn, kill, and plunder all the way to the capital. How many civilians will die tragically then?"

"The emperor had high hopes for you and gave you the power of 300,000 troops, but you betrayed his trust and deliberately delayed the reinforcements, disregarding the safety of the country! This is a betrayal of the country and the people! We should have been able to finish this war three days earlier, but because of your delay, countless soldiers were killed and injured! You are guilty of delaying the opportunity to fight, and you deserve to die!"

Marquis Xuanping burst into tears, lay on the ground, and was speechless.

Xuanping Hou had lived a glorious life, but this mistake would be the biggest stain in his life! A stain that could not be washed away!

"Because of your own selfishness and the struggle for imperial power, you have abandoned the people and the lives of the soldiers. You... are unworthy of the imperial robes you wear."

Marquis Xuanping raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, tears flashing in his eyes.

"I am willing to die to apologize!"

Marquis Xuanping kowtowed heavily again.

For some reason, the oppressive feeling that Xiao Yun gave him at this moment was very similar to the feeling the emperor gave him, or even worse. Marquis Xuanping didn't even dare to look up.

Xiao Yan's voice gradually turned cold:

"Death? The mistakes you made cannot be compensated even if you die a thousand times."

Delaying military intelligence and delaying fighter planes is a capital crime!

Xiao Yan looked at him and said:

"Considering the meritorious service of Marquis Xuanping in the past, I will spare your life this time! However, you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living. Before that, you need to make meritorious service to atone for your crime and ensure that your family will not be harmed! This is the last chance I will give you!"

Xuanping Hou was silent for a while, then he bowed his hands carefully and said:

"I obey!"

……

Chu Bai had already assembled his troops early in the morning, left a letter to Xiao Yun, and headed towards Yugu Mountain with a force of 100,000.

Miss, Chu Bai is here.

Wait slave!

Xiao Yun stood on the city wall and watched Chu Bai and his team leave in a mighty manner.

Xiao Yun read the letter and saw only the two words "take care" written on it.

After dinner, in the afternoon Xiao Yun convened a military meeting with Marquis Xuanping, Pei Yanli, Feng Xin, General Tang and other generals.

The meeting didn't end until dark.

Xuanping Hou had never seen how Xiao Yan fought in Dongling City, and he just thought that the Third Prince's plan was too crazy...

On the morning of the third day, Xiao Yan led his army to attack the capital of the Northern Jue Kingdom...

……

Beiyangguan.

Since Beijue knew that Ning Xi had very little black gunpowder left, they were no longer afraid of the extremely powerful black gunpowder and pounced on their city walls like mad dogs.

The first time they climbed up their city wall, Ning Xi used up all his black gunpowder and lost 50,000 soldiers before he repelled them and recaptured the city wall.

When they attacked the city wall for the second time, they had used up all their weapons, including arrows, rolling logs, flints, bows and crossbows. Even the bricks and scrap iron inside the pass had been used up.

When the Beijue attacked the city wall for the third time, Ning Xi had no choice but to go against his own conscience and his own morality as a human being and used chemical weapons, poisons and viruses he developed to repel them and force them to stop for three days.

Ning Xi, wearing a white gown, stood on the mottled city wall.

I heard the faint coughing sound in the distance, and felt extremely guilty.

She studied these in modern times to save people, but now...

Ning Xi unconsciously clenched her fists.

She hoped that Beijue's final attack would come later, even later.

But it was obvious that God could not hear her voice. When she listened carefully again, the horn of Beijue's attack had already been sounded.
