"I'm not leaving anymore...?

When I said this, I felt the raging fire in my heart burning so hard that my whole body was hurting. Tears fell down one by one. I gritted my teeth and said, "I want to see you avenge General Chang, I want to see how Shengjing's people fail!"

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

I looked up at Yuan Yichu and said, "You will let me see it, right?"

"..." He was silent and didn't say anything. After a while, he stretched out his hand and hugged me into his arms. My face was tightly pressed against his chest. The surging tears immediately wet his clothes, but the tears still kept flowing down. I grabbed his clothes and said stubbornly: "You must let me see!"

“Yes.”

His low voice rang above my head, and the hand holding me slightly tried: "Yes!"

.

He gave me only two words of guarantee, but it is not as simple as saying that to do these two words. The troops who went south of Beijing were so powerful and the preparations for siege were indeed sufficient. In contrast, Dongzhou, which had been ravaged by months of war, seemed a little exhausted.

But even so, we still couldn't give up like this. Yang Yunhui immediately led a group of troops to re-reinforce the city tower, withdrew the soldiers who were seriously injured and could not fight again, and urgently recruited a group of militias in the city.

I helped take care of several wounded soldiers under the city tower. When the situation was not so urgent, I was about to go back to find Mr. Yuan. Just as I was about to say something to Yuan Yichu, Yang Yunhui walked to him and said something. While saying, the two of them looked at me, I was a little puzzled. Yuan Yichu had already walked over and said, "Who are you with at the Xicheng Gate just now?"

"Ah?" I was a little surprised. I didn't expect him to ask this. But when I saw Yang Yunhui, I understood that it must be the person over there who told him. I replied, "A young man named Yuan."

"Young Master surnamed Yuan? Who is he?"

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

He looked at me deeply, his eyes were a little weird, and he said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"…?" I looked at him in confusion.

Before, when I guessed that there might be an insider sent by Shengjing in Dongzhou City, and later when I saw Mr. Yuan appear at the Xicheng Gate, I did doubt him, because when this city would be captured at any time and was in danger, someone would come back to buy a property, which was extremely abnormal. Although he said he was back for his sweetheart, he never heard him mention the girl these days, so I doubted him.

But when the West City Gate was attacked, he did not turn against me, but instead protected me. If he was really an insider, how could he do this?

However, I still had some uneasy speculation about him. He was so reluctant to protect me. His attitude towards me seemed to be - he and I had known each other for a long time, and even had a very unusual relationship.

Now even Yuan Yichu is going 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 he said, "When we find him, let him tell you."

After hearing this, I was almost sure that Mr. Yuan and me 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 uneasiness, and soon I rushed to the earth wall where I had just been hiding. But when I got closer, I found that there was no one there, only a pool of blood left.

Mr. Yuan, have you left?

Did he leave like this with such a serious injury? I turned over and got off the horse, looked around, but couldn't see him at all. Yuan Yichu also slowly walked over, looked at the pool of blood, then turned to look at Yang Yunhui: "Is it really him?"

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

Yuan Yichu grinded his teeth and said, "He really doesn't even want his life, just for-"

"If it weren't for her - I'm afraid the West City Gate would really not be able to keep it."

Yang Yunhui said, looking at me. For some reason, what he said was clearly a fact I saw with his own eyes, but his words seemed to be a bit sarcastic.

What's the meaning?

Yuan Yichu didn't say anything, but just looked back at me. His gaze was fierce, which made me feel a little chilling.

"Send the order and search for his whereabouts immediately, regardless of life or death, you must find it!"

"I'm afraid he's gone in the chaos."

"Then I'll get him back!" Yuan Yichu gritted his teeth and ordered. Yang Yunhui nodded. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, if he wants to leave, someone may come to pick him up. I'm afraid that the one who comes to pick him up is-"

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Yichu's face had already sunk.

After a long silence, he said, "If it was really her, you must catch her!"

"yes."

"Don't hurt her."

"……yes."

Yang Yunhui looked at me again, then turned around and gave an order. Yuan Yichu and I stood under the wall, looking at each other in pairs. A gust of cold wind blew with the smell of blood and dust. Somehow, I suddenly shuddered.

Before this, although I had doubts, I never really asked why Yuan Yichu came here to supervise the army? Chang Qing's sister was a concubine in the harem, why did she have to entrust him to take care of her before she died? Why did he and that young master Yuan affect the battle between Shengjing and the Central Plains? And what role did Miss Nangong play between here?

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

“…”

"Who are you?"

.

Before I knew it, it was dark.

Under the pitch-black sky is a quiet wild land, and the city tower is still brightly lit, but such light cannot shine far. The grassland and the cloud ridge in the distance have been integrated into the night.

Everything is quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing.

But the people in Dongzhou dared not sleep because they were afraid that the enemy would attack at night, and everyone was motivated.

But my spirit was obviously not so good. After I took some women in the city to make supper for the soldiers in the army, I felt weak and weak all over. At this time, I leaned against the wall and kept fighting.

Unconsciously, his head leaned on Yuan Yichu's shoulder beside him.

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

"Well, no." I shook my head quickly and tried to wake myself up: "I want to stay here."

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

"I'm going back to rest, and I can't 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 a little unhappy about my disobedience, and also looked coldly into the distance.

Perhaps because he was tired these days, he lost weight a lot. The originally clear outline seemed more and more angular under the light of the fire, but it exuded a sense of hostility. He and Mr. Yuan were actually both men with outstanding appearances, but Mr. Yuan’s gentleness and elegance were too different from his sinister and cruelty.

The slightly red eyes slowly turned around and looked at me: "What are you looking at?"

"No, nothing."

"You're still trying to know, who am I?"

“…”

"I said that after the battle is over, I will naturally tell you if you go back to the capital with me."

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

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

“…”

As the two of them spoke, their tone became stiff again. I bit my lower lip and did not continue to argue with him. At this moment, several soldiers who were patrolling the night in front suddenly woke up and said, "There is something!"

The people around immediately woke up and hurried over, looking carefully in the distance. In the dark night, some small fire lights flew towards us, like fireflies in the dark night, slowly getting closer and closer, and more and more gathered into a long dragon of flames.

"It's Seungkyung's people, they're here!"

The sound of gongs sounded from the city tower immediately, and everyone in the city woke up. The soldiers under the city tower immediately unsheathed their swords and gathered at the gate, and they all listened nervously to the movement outside.

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and countless horse hooves stepped on the ground, shaking the ground, shaking slightly. At this time, Yang Yunhui had already assigned all the people below, and also arrived at the city tower, drew his sword out of the sheath, and looked at the distance with a solemn look.

Seeing that the enemy was only a hundred feet away from Dongzhou, suddenly, all the burning flames rose into the air. After flying into the air, they flew towards us densely, like stars falling in the sky.

After a closer look, it turned out to be countless iron crossbows tied with gunpowder and burning oil cloth!

"careful!"

The soldiers in front of him roared, and the iron crossbows had fallen from the sky, and immediately caused an explosion wherever they went. For a moment, the explosion sounded loudly on the city wall, and countless wall bricks were blown up, gravel splashed, hurting countless people, and Mars scattered everywhere, immediately igniting several camps below.

However, Yang Yunhui did not panic, but immediately directed: "Shield Formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed up with huge copper shields, erected the shields into a row on the walls, and immediately a group of soldiers rushed forward, stepped on the shoulders of the soldiers below, and built the copper shields again. In this way, a high shield mountain was built on the city tower, blocking the attack of the fire crossbow.

I heard the sound of ping-pong outside, and the fire crossbows exploded outside and fell down, and suddenly a sea of ​​fire was lit under the city.

After a while, the fire crossbow stopped.
Chapter completed!
