"I'm not leaving."

When I said this, I felt the raging fire in my heart that made my whole body ache. Tears fell drop by drop. I gritted my teeth and said, "I want to watch you avenge General Chang."

, I want to see how the people in Shengjing fail!"

Yuan Yichu and Yang Yunhui both looked at me silently, with a hint of shock in their eyes.

I raised my head and looked at Yuan Yichu: "You will let me see it, right?"

"..." He remained silent for a while. After a while, he stretched out his hand and hugged me into his arms. My face pressed tightly against his chest, and the raging tears immediately wet his clothes.

But the tears still kept flowing down. I grabbed his clothes and said stubbornly: "You must let me see it!"

"I will."

His deep voice sounded above my head, and the hand holding me pressed slightly: "Yes!"

The guarantee he gave me was only two words, but to fulfill these two words, it is not as simple as saying it. The troops marching south from Shengjing are so strong, and the preparations for the siege are indeed sufficient. In comparison, after experiencing

Dongzhou, which has been ravaged by war for several months, really looks a little exhausted.

But even so, he still couldn't give up. Yang Yunhui immediately led a group of troops to re-reinforce the city tower, remove the soldiers who were too injured to fight anymore, and urgently recruited a group of militiamen in the city.

I helped take care of a few wounded soldiers downstairs, and when the situation became less urgent, I prepared to go back to Mr. Yuan. Just as I was about to say something to Yuan Yichu, I saw Yang Yunhui walking up to him and whispering something.

The man glanced at me, and I was a little confused. Yuan Yichu had already walked over: "Who were you with at the West City Gate just now?"

"Ah?" I was a little stunned. I didn't expect him to ask this. But after looking at Yang Yunhui, I understood that someone over there must have told him. I replied: "A young man named Yuan."<

/p>

"The young master named Yuan? Who is he?"

"I don't know. I met him accidentally a while ago. He was injured while protecting me. By the way, I want to go back to find him."

He looked at me deeply, with a strange look in his eyes, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"...?" I looked at him doubtfully.

Before, when I guessed that there might be an internal agent sent by Shengjing in Dongzhou City, and later when I saw Mr. Yuan appear at the West City Gate, I did doubt him, because when the city was about to be captured at any time and was in danger,

There are people who come back to buy property, which is extremely abnormal; although he said he came back for his sweetheart, I haven't heard him mention that girl at all these days, so I have doubts about him.

But when the West Gate was attacked, he did not switch sides. Instead, he protected me. If he was really an insider, how could he do this?

However, I still have some uneasy suspicions about him. He protects me at the risk of his life, and his various attitudes toward me seem to be that he and I have known each other for a long time, and our relationship is even unusual.

Now even Yuan Yichu wants to find him - I thought about it and said: "Do you know who he is? Who is he?"

"Who is he?" Yuan Yichu looked at me, his eyes became very deep, and said: "When we find him, let him tell you."

After hearing this sentence, I was almost certain that Mr. Yuan and I must have known each other in the past.

Could it be that he is what Yuan Yichu said before - Yuan Xiu?

Could it be that they are brothers, or...

I got on Yuan Yichu's horse with all kinds of uneasy speculations in my heart, and soon arrived under the earth wall where I had just hidden. But when I got closer, I found that there was no one there anymore, and there was only a pool of blood left.<

/p>

Mr. Yuan, have you left?

Did he just leave with such a serious injury? I got off the horse and looked around, but I couldn't see him at all. Yuan Yichu also walked over slowly, looked at the pool of blood, and then

Turning to look at Yang Yunhui: "Is it really him?"

Yang Yunhui immediately said: "From the description of the soldiers guarding the city, it should be correct. I'm afraid he would have already entered the city on the day we arrived."

Yuan Yichu gritted his teeth and said: "He actually didn't even give up on his life, just for——"

"If it weren't for her - I'm afraid the West Gate wouldn't be able to be defended."

Yang Yunhui glanced at me as he spoke. For some reason, what he said was clearly a fact that I had seen with my own eyes, but his words seemed to be somewhat sarcastic.

What does it mean?

Yuan Yichu didn't speak, but looked back at me, with a fierce look in his eyes that made me feel a little shuddering.

"Give me the order to search for his whereabouts immediately. No matter whether he is dead or alive, we must find him!"

"I'm afraid he took advantage of the chaos and left."

"Then bring him back to me!" Yuan Yichu ordered through gritted teeth. Yang Yunhui nodded and was about to turn around when he suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, if he wants to leave, someone may come to pick him up. Come on.

I'm afraid the person who picked him up was——"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Yichu's face had already darkened.

After being silent for a while, he said: "If it is really her, we must catch her!"

"Yes."

"Don't hurt her."

"...Yes."

Yang Yunhui glanced at me again, and then turned around to give the order. Yuan Yichu and I stood under the wall, looking at each other. A cold wind blew in with the smell of blood and sand. Somehow, I suddenly hit

Had a chill.

Although I had doubts before this, I never really asked, why did Yuan Yichu come here to supervise the army? Chang Qing's sister was a concubine in the harem, why was she entrusted to him to take care of her before she died? Why did he,

And Mr. Yuan, how could they affect the battle between Shengjing and the Central Plains? And Miss Nangong, what role does she play in this?

I looked at him and said slowly: "Who is he?"

"..."

"Who are you?"

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Under the dark sky is a silent wilderness. The lights on the city tower are still bright, but the light cannot shine very far. The grassland and the Yunling Mountains in the distance have merged into the night.

Everything is quiet except for the sound of the wind blowing.

But the people in Dongzhou did not dare to sleep because they were afraid that the enemy would attack at night, so everyone was very alert.

But my spirit was obviously not that good. After taking some women in the city to cook dinner for the army officers, I felt that my whole body was weak. At this time, I leaned against the wall, and my eyes kept fighting.

Inadvertently, his head rested on the shoulder of Yuan Yichu next to him.

He looked down at me and frowned: "Go back and rest."

"Well, no." I shook my head hastily, trying to wake myself up: "I want to stay here."

"If the enemy comes, you can't help."

"I'm worried when I go back to rest." I said, looking into the dark distance: "I don't know when they will come."

He frowned and looked at me, as if he was unhappy with my disobedience, and looked coldly into the distance.

Perhaps because he has been very tired these days, he has also lost a lot of weight. His clear outlines appear more and more angular under the light of the fire, but there is an air of violence. He and Mr. Yuan are actually both men with outstanding looks.

, but Mr. Yuan’s gentleness and elegance are very different from his viciousness and cruelty.

Those slightly red eyes slowly turned to look at me: "What are you looking at?"

"No, it's nothing."

"You still want to know, who am I?"

"..."

"I said, after this battle is over and you come back to the capital with me, I will tell you naturally."

I said: "Aren't we husband and wife? Why can't we talk about this here?"

He said coldly: "Since you know that we are husband and wife, you should be obedient."

"..."

The two people were talking, and their tone became stiff again. I bit my lower lip and finally did not continue to argue with him. At this moment, several soldiers on night patrol in front suddenly said in an alert voice: "There is something going on!

”

The people around us immediately became alert and ran over in a hurry, looking carefully into the distance. In the dark night, there were some faint firelights flying towards us, like fireflies in the dark night, slowly.

Getting closer and closer, more and more, gathering into a long dragon of flames.

"It's people from Shengjing, they are coming!"

The gong's alarm sounded immediately on the city tower, and everyone in the city suddenly woke up. The soldiers below the city tower immediately gathered their swords out of their sheaths at the gate, and everyone listened nervously to what was going on outside.

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and countless horse hooves trampled on the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly. At this time, Yang Yunhui had already dispatched all the people below, and reached the top of the city tower. He drew his sword out of its sheath and looked at it with a solemn look.

Towards the distance.

Seeing that the enemy was no more than a hundred feet away from Dongzhou, suddenly, the blazing flames all rose into the sky. After flying into the air, they flew towards us densely, like stars falling from the sky.

If you look closely, you will see that they are countless iron crossbows tied with gunpowder and burning oilcloth!

"Be careful!"

I just heard a loud roar from the soldiers in front, and those iron crossbows fell from the sky, causing explosions wherever they touched. For a while, there was a loud cracking sound on the city wall, countless wall bricks were blown away, and rubble flew, hurting people.

Countless sparks scattered everywhere, immediately igniting several tents below.

However, Yang Yunhui did not panic, but immediately commanded: "Shield formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed up carrying huge copper shields and placed the shields in a row on the wall. Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed forward, stepped on the shoulders of the soldiers below, and placed the shields again.

Go up, stack like this, and a high shield mountain is built up on the city tower, blocking the attack of the fire crossbow.

Just listening to the sound of ping-ping-pong-pang-pong outside, fire crossbows exploded outside one after another, falling down, and the city suddenly burned into a sea of ​​fire.

After a while, the fire crossbow stopped.
