Looking at the anti-military and rioters who retreated like a tide, Li Ling had to sigh while breathing a sigh of relief: "It seems that Ding Kui has a great reputation among the rebels. He can scare away thousands of troops with just his head..."

As he spoke, his body trembled again, his brows frowned tightly, but his body was shaking again. Fortunately, Yang Qingxiao and Li Moyun next to him helped him in time, Li Ling did not fall down dejectedly in the cheers of the soldiers and generals around him, but this had attracted many people's concern. Chang Fan and others quickly leaned over, regardless of the blood and injuries on their bodies, and asked: "Sir, are you injured?"

Just now, they heard people shouting that Li Ling had been assassinated and was a little confused. They didn't relax a little until they saw them returning to the city. But now seeing Li Ling's situation, their worries arose again.

Li Ling tried his best to stabilize his body and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just being assassinated. Fortunately, Qingxiao and Mo Yun were guarding each other, so I cut off the head of the assassin, and I was only slightly injured. By the way, how about our casualties?" As he said that, his eyes swept far and near the city, and many people were covered with blood, all over the ground, including the defenders and the corpses of the rebels who risked their lives to kill the city.

"The casualties are indeed quite large. There should be no less than a hundred people who died in battle. Five of our Cao Gang brothers were killed, and the rest were injured..." Chang Fan's eyes darkened and he said softly. Just now, Li Moyun chased Ding Kui down the city, and the pressure on the Cao Gang men increased sharply. After a bloody battle, the casualties were really quite large.

Li Ling looked at Yang Qingxiao, who also had a look of sadness and anger, and said seriously: "It was me who implicated my brothers. When the chaos subsides, I will ask the government for a pension for them. Also, please keep their bodies properly and be buried with a good life. I think the people of Huating will not forget them."

"Well..." Yang Qingxiao and others nodded silently, not saying much. Although people in the world were inevitable to die and injured, the attack and defense of cities like this, large-scale battles and sudden deaths had a great impact on them.

Li Ling couldn't say too many comforting words, so he just encouraged the morale of the army casually. He was sent down the city and returned to the county government because of the pain on his body. The others did not dare to relax. Although the rebels retreated, they did not really leave. They only stayed for more than ten miles away, and might continue to attack the city again.

Therefore, both Li Moyun and the Cao Gang still had to guard against the beginning of a new round of battle.

Li Ling accompanied Yang Qingxiao to the county government for rest, and invited a doctor to treat him. After watching, he heard and asked, the doctor was shocked and said, "The wounds on the body are not light. All the internal organs are damaged by the blow. In addition, there are two ribs on the chest that are also broken. Fortunately, they are only broken and not broken and pierced into the internal organs, otherwise they are afraid...

"Sir, your injury needs to be rested. You must not have violent movements within the next half month, otherwise the injury will become more and more serious!"

Not only Li Ling was shocked, but Yang Qingxiao was also very scared. Li Ling was really experiencing life and death this time. If it weren't for his good luck, he would have died at the hands of the ghost when Shao Qiuxi took action.

After sending the doctor away, Yang Qingxiao looked at him with a little red eyes and said seriously: "Li Lang, you can't leave the county government at will anymore. I will be here to accompany you until your injury is healed."

"But the situation in Huating is critical now. How can I, as the county magistrate, always huddled in the yamen?" Li Ling immediately opposed.

"Even if the city is lost, it's better than something happening to you!" Yang Qingxiao suddenly stared at him, her eyes flashing, and her face was firm, "With them here, the city will not be in trouble. It's not that I didn't let anyone meet, but I just don't be as busy and risky as before."

Looking at these pair of eyes full of love and concern, Li Ling did not insist any more. In fact, as far as he was concerned, he did not have the idea of ​​dying for the city, and nothing was important to his own life. So in the end, he nodded and said, "Just do what you said, but I will still meet them every day..."

"Yeah." Yang Qingxiao nodded, with a smile on her face, and then she showed a look of fear. "I really scared me just now. If it weren't for Senior Shao's appearance, I'm afraid you're really, really..."

"So I'm lucky, and it's not that easy to die." Li Ling seemed quite calm, smiled and held her hand, and then tentatively said, "If, I mean, what would you do if, if, if I really died in the hands of that assassin?"

Yang Qingxiao was stunned and held Li Ling back with her hand in her hand, her tone was full of firmness: "I will avenge you, and I will not let you go, whether it is him or the person behind him! I will be poor for my whole life and I will completely eradicate the Luotian Sect without leaving any!"

Feeling her determination, Li Ling was moved. Although she didn't say anything to death, her meaning was almost the same, so he did not continue to ask "What's next?" because it was no longer necessary.

At this moment, the two of them quietly shook hands and looked at each other. Everything outside was thrown behind them, with only each other in their eyes...

Just as the ambiguous atmosphere continued to increase, the two of them were getting closer and closer, as if they were about to stick to one place, a stirring sound of drums came from a distance, breaking the soft atmosphere, causing Li Ling's body, which was half leaning on the bed, suddenly shook, and stood up, and fell back in depressed due to severe pain.

But at this time he could no longer care about the pain and said in surprise: "Come again? Where did they get the courage? Or did reinforcements come again?" He looked very uneasy. If this is true, Huating County would not be able to defend it.

"Don't worry, I'll go and see it now. If I really can't hold on, I will definitely protect you from leaving here!" Yang Qingxiao's eyes also flashed with panic, but she remained calm. She tightened the silver chain on her wrist and turned around and wanted to leave.

But after hearing Li Ling say softly, "If... the real thing is not done, you leave first, don't worry about me." He was injured and did not know martial arts, so he was completely a burden. Qingxiao took care of himself, but he was afraid it was also very dangerous.

"No, I have to go together, I'm going to die... I won't let you have something to do!" Yang Qingxiao's tone was a heavy stroll, and then she strode away. Li Ling lay there and could only smile bitterly. He was a scholar who was useless. Now he once again felt how powerless and true this sentence was.

During the painful waiting, Li Ling had too many thoughts in his mind. Can the city be defended in a new round of battle? What should he do afterwards? If he really wants to escape, can he leave under the protection of Yang Qingxiao and the others? And if he escapes from the queen, what should he say about his guilt?

All kinds of guesses made him extremely irritable, and he just wanted to rush out to see what happened. However, the injuries on his body made it difficult for him to get out of bed, let alone walk out of the house.

The only thing that comforted him was that the killing sound did not increase as time passed. Although there were still drums and vague fighting sounds coming from afar, it seemed that the situation was still under control.

"It's almost dusk. Maybe this is just the last test before the rebel retreats. As long as you withstand this wave, Huating can hold it..." Li Ling kept comforting himself, wanting to calm down his mood, but the effect was really limited, and even his breathing became more rapid due to the passage of time.

Finally, after half an hour, a chaotic footsteps sounded from the outside and headed straight for his room. After hearing that this was the movement of many people at the same time, Li Ling felt even more nervous and hurriedly reached out and pulled a short knife beside the pillow into his hand.

This is definitely not because Yang Qingxiao ran back after exploring the situation, otherwise where would anyone else come from?

The best result was that she and Li Moyun came back in time to lead him out of the siege; and the worst possibility was that the chaos army was coming now, the city had fallen, and Yang Qingxiao and the others were trapped in the chaos army, and they could not even come back one step earlier to rescue him.

That's why Li Ling took the knife in his hand, even if he fought, he had to fight!

When he reached the door, he suddenly paused lightly, then there was a knock on the door, and a slight trembling voice of Yang Qingxiao: "Li Lang, we are in."

This approach really surprised Li Ling. It was time to go, was it still so polite? But he replied immediately: "Come in."

The door creaked open, and Li Ling saw Yang Qingxiao with a strange expression, and Li Moyun and others with excitement, which made him even more strange: "Are you... still fighting?" The sound of killing in the distance was faintly heard, although it seemed to be a little further away than before, was it because the enemy retreated again?

"Li Lang, the reinforcements have arrived, we have defended them!" Yang Qingxiao finally told the truth excitedly. Li Ling was completely stunned and looked at her in a daze: "What are you... what are you talking about? Reinforcements, where did the reinforcements come from?"

"It's the young master of Shanzi, and the official army from the Fucheng City arrived in time. They raided the rebels who had just retreated and set up camp from the rear, killing them to disperse and defeat. Now the situation outside the city has reversed. The thousands of rebels either fled, were killed or captured, and we have already won!" Li Moyun also looked excited and said the truth loudly.

Li Ling completely believed this statement. After a moment of stunned silence, he slowly came back to his senses: "We won? OK, okay..." Then he exhaled it in one breath, and the person was completely relaxed.

"Sir, we want to ask for instructions. Do we need to send troops to pursue and cooperate with Shanzi Camp to kill and injure the rebels?" A veteran asked again quickly. This is their purpose here.
