"My fourth uncle is afraid of death, and of course I am too."

Li Mingqi glanced at the girl who was afraid of death. Of course she didn't blame her. If a little girl wasn't afraid of death, wouldn't she be a fool? She didn't dare to use it.

"But, it's really not that dangerous this time. We have 30,000 guards in Taiyuan Mansion, and the big families work together. There is food and drink in the city and there are so many people. It is not impossible to defend the city. The most important thing is

What's more, there is a pursuer behind Ankang Mountain, Wu Ya'er."

Nian'er nodded along regardless of whether she understood or not.

Li Mingqi doesn't care whether she understands it or not.

"With the pursuers behind him, and Wu Ya'er, Ankangshan simply doesn't dare to attack the city with all his strength." She told herself, "If he can't defeat him after a few attacks, he will move to another place. If three people are needed,

It took half a year to defend the city. Needless to say, my fourth uncle, I have already arrived at my home in Jiannan Road. However, it only takes at most one month to defend the city. Of course, Taiyuan Mansion can defend it. After one month, I have not started to be afraid.

Despair means it’s over and you’ve won.”

She walked into the bedroom, looked at the bronze mirror on the table, and smiled.

"The right time, right place, right people, wealth is right in front of me, why wouldn't I want it?"

"Jiannan Road doesn't need me to add glory to it, I need to add glory to myself."

"Nian'er, go tell them to keep an eye on the Fourth Master."

"Nian'er, turn off the lights and go to sleep."

.....

.....

Night enveloped the earth, and the once brightly lit city fell into darkness, but it was unknown how many people could not sleep.

Even if you can't sleep, you are not allowed to light a lamp. The light that brings safety in the dark is considered to be dangerous at this time.

There is a tall city where no one dares to light a lamp, but outside the city in the vast wilderness there is a place with bright lights, bonfires and torches burning.

Qi Acheng sat on the felt mat and blocked his yawn with his hand.

"Miss, please rest first." The soldier said carefully, "It will be midnight before the soldiers can arrive today."

Qi Acheng closed his eyes and waved his hands: "I can't sleep well, so just wait."

The maid knelt down and massaged her legs and feet, angrily: "Miss, you have worked so hard. Li is lying high in the city. He walks around and talks and laughs among the people every day, so he can get a lot of praise. In the future, he will share the credit and defend the city."

We are the ones bleeding in the war. Why doesn’t this woman leave?"

"Miss Li is not stupid. Knowing that she has made great achievements this time, of course she will not leave. Whatever, if she wants credit, give her some credit." Qi Acheng opened his eyes, "I only want Taiyuan Mansion."

The maid couldn't help but increase her strength: "Miss, can you really defeat Ankang Mountain this time?"

"Who can defeat Ankang Mountain?" Qi Acheng looked at the maid with disgust, and the maid hurriedly put down her strength.

"I still have self-awareness. As long as Ankang Mountain retreats this time, we will win." Qi Acheng continued, changing his position and half sitting, "Of course, by then, we can also say that we have defeated Ankang Mountain."

The maid giggled: "That young lady is famous all over the world, and she can be on an equal footing with that Lady of Chu."

"I don't have as many soldiers and horses as Lady Chu," Qi Acheng said.

This means that the lady of Chu State can get credit and fame because she has many soldiers and horses.

The maid sighed: "Our troops and horses are not enough. The young lady can only rely on herself here. It is so far away, and there is nothing I can do to help."

"There are many soldiers and horses, so we can't use them here." Qi Acheng said, "The Southeast Road is our foundation. We can't mess with the soldiers and horses at will. If there are other people's soldiers and horses, they will be used in vain."

"That's not called other people's soldiers and horses." The maid said, knowing that Qi Acheng was talking about the guards of the wealthy families, she felt a little proud, "Those soldiers and horses were trained by the young lady, and this time they were dispatched by the young lady. Of course,

It’s considered a young lady’s.”

Qi Acheng stretched himself comfortably and curled his lips: "Their main function is not to fight, but to have momentum. The momentum is also for everyone to see. They can't scare Ankang Mountain, Ankang Mountain...

"

There was the sound of footsteps outside the camp, and a soldier rushed in, knelt down and shouted: "Miss, the scout has reported the news."

Qi Acheng sat up and asked: "How?"

Xin Bing said: "Coming from the north, I found traces of the Zhenwu Army. Wu Ya'er is indeed pursuing Ankang Mountain."

Qi Acheng laughed loudly, and the maid was also very happy: "Miss, it's better now."

"Taiyuan Prefecture has no worries." Qi Acheng stood up and looked at the generals who came in, "With the hearts of the army and the people working together, we can build the city, and there are Wu Ya'er chasing troops outside, so we will win the battle to defend the city."

The generals also responded excitedly. They would soon get the credit for fighting Ankangshan and defeating him, and become famous all over the world!

Another messenger rushed in outside the camp, and this time it was not good news.

"Miss, Fang Minggu asks for help!"

.......

.......

The early morning tranquility of the government office was shattered by the news reported from Qia City.

"Fangming Valley is the nearest fortress in our Taiyuan Prefecture, we must defend it."

"Sir, there are about five thousand rebels."

"What should we do? Do we still have reinforcements?"

"Several other places are also fortresses, and soldiers and horses cannot move."

"My lord, my lord, my lord."

"Don't call me, sir!" The prefect waved away the officials and soldiers surrounding him, pointed his finger at the visitor and shouted, "Say, what's the matter?"

The noise subsided, and the visitor was also startled. He stammered and pointed outside: "The Liu family guards five hundred people, and the Dong family guards five hundred people. We have received orders from Miss Qi to go to Fangming Valley for reinforcements."

Reinforcements of a thousand people are enough!

Everyone came out and saw that the people on the street holding the flag of Hedong Taiyuan Prefecture and their own name flags were galloping away, and people on both sides rushed to see each other off.

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

The guards and the people responded in harmony, and the atmosphere was tense. Some people crowded into the government office to stifle the situation.

"Sir, we also need to go to the rescue!"

"Sir, please let us go too."

The magistrate laughed and lost all anxiety. He looked at these brave village elders and said: "Everyone has important responsibilities, and the defense of the city cannot be separated from you."

...

...

The rising smoke and dust outside Fangming Valley blocked the setting sun.

A howl like a monster came from the gray mist.

Lying on a section of the siege, a group of soldiers stared with wide eyes. They saw groups of soldiers and horses rushing towards them in the smoke and dust. In front of them were men, women, old and children who were being driven and trampled...

The cries and screams were getting closer and closer.

"There are rebels coming here too!" a general shouted, standing up and looking behind and to the left and right, "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? They've been gone for two days and one night!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound, and a crossbow arrow flew from a distance and penetrated the general's throat. He was carried backwards and blood spattered everywhere.

The walls were filled with exclamations of "My lord! My lord!"

Strange cries were heard from under the city wall: "Attack the city! Attack the city!"

...

...

When the morning light shines brightly, people in some cities will not wake up again, while others have to wake up.

Several streets in Taiyuan City were filled with sleeping people, some of whom were beaten awake.

"Whose turn is it today?"

"I already did it yesterday, why are you calling me again?"

"Miss Li has stipulated that one person should do it for two days."

"Get up, get up."

A few people got up muttering and cursing, rubbing their eyes and yawning as they stumbled to the shed built on the street.

There are three stoves and large pots under the shed, firewood is piled on the other side, and bags of rice are piled up in another shed at the back.

Several people continued to curse and divide the work, some cleaned the big pot, and some chopped firewood to light the fire. Although they were reluctant, they wanted to eat after all, so they quickly heated up the stove and poured clean water into the pot.

.

"Rinse the rice."

"Hurry up and put in more rice today. We weren't even full yesterday."

As they talked, the two people carried wooden buckets to the rice grain bags. They carried a bag and emptied it after emptying it.
