Ah Jin looked at the sky at the end of a deep alley.
The sky was squeezed into a narrow strip by the two walls, and the fire of the sky was faintly exposed from the clouds in the north, as if accompanied by rumbling noises, which was chilling.And the sound of killing from nearby made her feel even more horrified.
Only those who are fighting to the death can make such a shrill sound.
She hid in an alley next to the barracks with the remaining [-] rebels. Worried about the battle outside, she couldn’t help sticking her head out to look into the distance, but Liang Xiao held her shoulders the next moment.
“Shh, don’t make a sound.”
She swallowed the words that slipped to her lips, held her breath, and stepped back a little.Just after she hid her body, two Yuchang soldiers trotted past, and she heard the sound of their conversation.
“If there are remnants of the rebel army, they will all be found out and handed over to their heads.”
“Even if you hide it, you have to kill it?”
“Of course I have to kill, you don’t know, just now there was a desperate archer who shot an arrow at the Zhaoyang Hall, and almost killed the Holy… ahem, don’t talk nonsense. In short, the man was shot to death by random arrows. Now the general has an order that if any rebels are found, they will be shot to death.”
“but……”
“But what is, do you want someone else’s head, or your own?”
“Of course it’s my own.”
“That’s right. Find other people’s heads, and maybe you can get reward money.”
“Is there really a bounty? Look at the sky, could it be the nine-star penetrating sun they said…”
“Shut the crow’s mouth, you.”
Liang Xiao let go of Ah Jin’s shoulders only after the sound of their footsteps disappeared into the distance.Beads of sweat were already dripping from the palms of his hands, and he muttered, “It’s dangerous, it’s dangerous…”
“Thank you, Mr. Liang.” Ah Jin was in shock and kept stroking her chest.Before today, she had never experienced such a situation where her life was hanging by a thread.
She and Liang Xiao worked together to gather more than fifty rebels who had not yet been involved in the battle, and this was all the troops left in the barracks.
These people did not dare to act rashly, they all hid in the deep alleys and waited for an opportunity.
She just noticed that there was a young man standing not far behind her, staring blankly into the distance, with a dignified expression and clenched fists.
Liang Xiao came to him and said with concern: “Little brother, what’s wrong with you?”
The young man turned his head, his voice trembling: “The person the defender mentioned just now is probably my friend.”
Liang Xiao was startled, and said, “Is that the archer?”
“Yes, there is no one in all martial arts who can shoot Zhaoyang Hall from outside the city wall. He has always had the reputation of Eagle Eye. He beat me on the riding and shooting range when he was 12 years old. Since then, I have been fighting every year. challenged him, but never prevailed…”
Liang Xiao sighed lightly, and patted him lightly on the shoulder to show comfort.
The young man frowned even tighter, raised his head to stare into his eyes, and said sharply: “What should we do? I don’t want to do evil, but my friends have all died in battle, and I can’t continue to be a turtle .”
Liang Xiao comforted him and said, “But you have to think about it, who is your enemy? Is it really the old emperor?”
The young man asked anxiously, “Isn’t it?”
Liang Xiao shook his head, and before he could speak, he said in a loud voice: “Mr. Liang is right, our enemy is not the old emperor, our real enemy… Xia Qiyuan is still alive.”
Ah Jin turned her head, and immediately exclaimed: “Sister Ah Tong!!”
It was Si Yutong who came.
She didn’t pretend to be a man, but she was wearing a simple red dress, the wide belt was close to her waist, the cuffs were tied around her wrists, her breasts were high and straight, and her pair of phoenix eyes were flying sideways. Although she was dressed as a daughter, she was not weak. On the contrary, he looked extraordinarily heroic.
Seeing her, Ah Jin was delighted at first, then surprised: “Sister Ah Tong is here, so who is Princess Pingan in Zhaoyang Palace?”
Si Yutong replied: “That’s a maid in disguise.”
Ah Jin said “Ah—” and wanted to ask, but the young man beside him rushed forward and grabbed Si Yutong by the collar:
“Prince Ping’an, how can you still show face in front of us? We are working hard for you to get justice, not to give you a gift. If you intend to marry someone wholeheartedly, why bother to implicate us?”
A Jin hurried forward to stop her: “You, don’t blame Sister A Tong, she can’t help it. If you reveal your identity from the beginning, will you still listen to her?”
“I…” The young man was speechless for a moment.
A Jin’s eyes lingered between the two, hesitating to speak several times, unable to hide the panic in his expression.
On the other hand, Si Yutong looked calm, looked at the angry young man opposite, just sighed lightly, and said lightly: “It’s okay, you are right in scolding, I was indeed wrong, that’s why I want to go back to you, because It’s to make up for my mistakes so that you don’t make the same mistakes again.”
“Wrong? Why did the rebel army make mistakes?”
“The fault lies in being reckless and irritable. This battle is a conspiracy provoked by the Devil’s Cult.”
“Xia Qiyuan is dead, what kind of demon sect is there?”
“No, he’s still alive.”
The young man froze in place.
Si Yutong continued: “Di Dongqing is already tracking down Xia Qiyuan’s whereabouts. He didn’t abandon the rebel army, but he had to separate from you to prevent the devil’s sect’s terrifying conspiracy in secret. So, I came to find you on his behalf. Before we succeed, if the two armies continue to fight each other and kill each other, we will fall into the hands of the Demon Sect.”
The young man still didn’t believe it, let go of her collar, and asked, “So you want to prevent the two armies from fighting?”
“Exactly.”
“You asked a few of us here to stop the great army?”
Unexpectedly, Si Yutong shook his head and said, “No, I’m just here to advise everyone not to act rashly. Even if I’m the only one, I’ll stop them. Whether it’s the Rebel Army or the Yuchang Army, it’s all Yu The people of the country, I will never sit idly by.”
The young man stared at her with wide eyes, as if he couldn’t believe his ears.
A Jin immediately stood beside Si Yutong, puffed her chest out and said, “I’m with Sister A Tong!”
Liang Xiao walked to the side of the two of them: “I will also assist the princess, and I have a duty to do so.”
The young man who was still furious a moment ago, and the fifty volunteers behind him, turned their attention to the three of them.
What kind of rhetoric is it to block a hundred thousand with three people?The so-called mantis is like a cart, but that’s all.
But there was no panic or hesitation in the eyes of the three of them.
The young man stared into Si Yutong’s eyes, and said in a deep voice: “Princess, if you win, will you return our peaceful rivers and lakes?”
“Of course,” Si Yutong nodded, “If it weren’t for this river and lake, I would have become a fish in a marsh. This world of rivers and lakes is not only yours, but also mine.”
The young man took a deep breath and said, “Okay, I’ll go with you too.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone behind him echoed and came forward together to join Si Yutong’s team.
Si Yutong smiled at the young man and asked, “May I ask what your name is?”
The young man froze for a moment, and replied, “My surname is Fu Mingzhan.”
“Okay, brother Fu, I, Si Yutong, as the daughter of the royal family, will risk my life today to save all people from fire and water. Please also entrust your life to me, I will never let down your trust today.”
Fu Zhan saw flames in her eyes.
It was the awe-inspiring but noble fire that he had not seen for many years, burning blazingly in the eyes of a frail woman.
Fu Zhan was at a loss for a while, he didn’t understand why he questioned her in the first place?Whether it was the prince or the princess, it was the general who went to the meeting alone, and the situation by the Liulong Bridge reappeared in his eyes. At that time, he glimpsed the shadow of the ancient gods on that towering mountain.She has been favored by the gods, and there is such a fire in her eyes, no matter whether she is male or female, she is destined to become a hero.
Liang Xiao touched his chin and said, “I don’t know what the princess’ plan is? After all, he can’t persuade the soldiers who are jealous like us.”
“That’s true,” Si Yutong nodded, shaking out a map of Anyi City, and spreading it out in front of everyone’s eyes.
“I have inquired about the news that the defenders are guarding the city gates, waiting for reinforcements. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, they will open the gates of the inner city and meet the rebels head-on.” Her finger drew a circle at the gate in front of Zhaoyang Hall. Circle, “Only by completely sealing the city gates can the two armies be prevented from fighting.”
“How to seal it?”
“There is an ink cart above the city tower. Its cantilever is long and heavy. It is used for throwing stones. If its cantilever bracket is cut off, it can just hit the lever of the suspension bridge. If the lever is damaged, the city gate will be useless in a short time. People can open it.”
Liang Xiao then asked: “But how can we climb the city wall? Only because we are alone and weak, it is absolutely impossible to take it by force.”
“Of course you can’t take it by force.” Si Yutong said while sliding her finger to the left side of the city wall.
The city wall is arc-shaped, and along the two wings of the city gate, there is a military tower every other section, and they are numbered A, B, C, D according to the east-west direction.Her finger landed on the tower numbered West Second, and she said a little harder, “We will pass here.”
“Even so, we are bound to meet the defenders in the tower, will they let us go?”
“I will get their permission,” Si Yutong said, “because the guards of this pagoda are the soldiers of the Bai Mansion.”
