On New Year's Eve, the stone gate is on the city wall.

The cold wind cut through the bare skin like a knife, and the soldiers rotated every hour, and if the time was longer, they would be frozen.

But even if it is rotated every hour, the weaker soldiers are a little unable to resist.

Seeing that the general was still patrolling the post late at night, the soldiers couldn't help but lift their spirits and straightened their waists.

"Xia Guogang sent a batch of supplies, gave the brothers more spare parts to warm cotton robes, each of them a pair of deerskin gloves, these gloves are not much, use them in rotation, hot ginger soup can not be missing, beef and mutton tubes are enough, warm wine is appropriate, warm body, but don't let your guard down. ”

Liu Guozhong instructed the responsible reward.

"Whoa!"

The generals and soldiers were very grateful, not only grateful for the thoughtfulness of the general, but also grateful to the lord of the Xia State who always provided material supplies.

Liu Guozhong saw it in his eyes, and felt a little relieved in his heart, he did not hesitate to say the materials sent by Xia Guo first, his intention was to inspire the soldiers, the materials were continuous, and the soldiers had confidence.

Seeing that the momentum of the soldiers was not bad, and they all stuck to their posts, Liu Guozhong's depressed mood eased slightly, and he lay on the gap in the battlement of the city wall and looked out of the city.

Although it was late at night, the outside of the city was white, and the battle was fierce, but the cold wind swept the snow powder, and it only took a moment to cover up the traces of the battle.

As far as the eye can see, there is a black area in the canyon, where there are scattered fires, and it is a barbarian camp.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

Seeing that the barbarians did not attack, Liu Guozhong's mood relaxed, and he turned back to ask the general who was in charge of commanding the defense tonight.

"General, look there, except for some weirdness there, you don't find anything unusual. ”

The general pointed to a black dot outside the range of the crossbow arrows under the city pass.

"Well?、、、、、、 not good!"

Liu Guozhong's cultivation is very high, his eyesight is excellent, and he can't help but exclaim after a moment of careful observation.

Although his exclamation suppressed his voice, it still alarmed the surrounding soldiers.

"General, what's going on?"

A middle-aged soldier who was leaning on the shelter and pretending to sleep flashed to Liu Guozhong's side, frowning a little rudely and asking.

The general on duty tonight wanted to reprimand the soldier, but Liu Guozhong glanced at the middle-aged man and waved his hand at the general.

"Old Li, where do you look?"

Liu Guozhong showed a slight respect to this person, and then pointed out of the city, where the middle-aged man lay on the gap in the battlement wall and looked out for a moment.

"I'll take a look. ”

The man had already jumped off the city, and disappeared into the eyes of the ordinary soldiers in the blink of an eye.

When the general saw it, he couldn't help but gasp, but he was still afraid, he didn't expect that there was such a big master in the armor.

It seems that he can leap over the city wall more than ten zhang high and quietly, fast and agile, I am afraid that he is the lowest cultivator and the intermediary of the divine master, he is a monk who has just entered the realm of the Xuanshi, and he can have such an assessment, and he is also a person who has seen the world.

Liu Guozhong waved his hand from him, meaning not to say much.

In a moment, the middle-aged man rushed back.

"General, please follow me. ”

The two came to the bell tower, and Liu Guozhong guarded the entrance.

"Old Li, what's going on?"

"General, you have to be careful, it is the Japanese who are making holes, and the old man has destroyed them and destroyed the hole, but there is no guarantee that they will also make holes further away. ”

When Liu Guozhong heard this, his face couldn't help but become solemn, although he didn't know how the barbarians could destroy the blockage in the Rocky Valley so quickly, but it must have something to do with the filthy Japanese people.

"Punching holes?"

"Yes, three Japanese people and a dozen barbarians, I don't know what method they used, how long, have dug out a cave more than ten zhang long under three feet, which can pass side by side with almost two barbarians walking. ”

Li Lao and Liu Guozhong couldn't understand how these barbarians and Japanese people could do it, quietly digging holes in the hard and frozen rocks, and it seemed that the progress was very fast, and it would not take long to dig under the city wall.

Although the foundation under the city wall of the Ranshi Pass is also a rock, the barbarians and the Japanese people made such a hole method, and suddenly a few dozen holes appeared from the city one day, and a large number of barbarians poured out, which made Liu Guozhong's scalp explode.

"How's that okay?"

"The general doesn't have to be too nervous, after all, the situation outside the city is narrow, and if we observe carefully within a distance of 100 zhang, we can also see that there is a slight abnormality, and we will attack and sweep it. ”

Li Lao comforted.

In fact, Li Lao's heart is not too bottomed, and it is very easy to dig a hole in the rock with his ability, but it will never be done quietly, and there will definitely be energy leakage, and people with cultivation can find it if they pay a little attention, but this widow and barbarian make a hole, but he didn't feel any energy fluctuations at all, otherwise it was not the general who found the abnormality.

Liu Guozhong calculated, the canyon in front is only about ten zhang wide, even if it is all dug through, there will not be too many people who come over at one time, now that it is already known, let strengthen the patrol in the city, with precautions, I am afraid that the barbarians This trick is not too useful.

"Then there are the old workers. ”

Liu Guozhong was a little calm, and after inspecting the city wall for a while, he went down the city wall and returned to the governor's mansion.

When the lady and the eldest son saw that he had returned safely, they let go of their hearts.

Brewed tea, supper was delivered.

Liu Guozhong was about to pick up the tea bowl, but his face suddenly changed.

"Not good, their purpose should be the city walls. ”

"Bang,"

Liu Guozhong put down the tea bowl and hurriedly left the governor's mansion.

And far away in the Qianqing Palace in Shangjing, Zhang Xian enjoyed Bai Ling'er's massage, oh, it should be said that it was beating.

Luo Yu is now pregnant and has moved to Kunning Palace, which is relatively quiet and easy to cultivate.

Because Zhang Xian did not have three thousand beauties in the harem, and only three princesses, the inner court was almost empty, and only a few rooms in the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace were lit.

Zhang Xian's office and bedroom in Qianqing Palace, Bai Ling'er and Man Ling'er generally live in Qianqing Palace except for accompanying Luo Yu.

It's not in line with the rules, but no one mentions it.

Not only does the king not have three thousand beauties, but he is also not extravagant, and there are only a few people from the Tiger Battalion patrolling the entire backyard, and it is a private matter for the three princesses to live where they want to live.

Bai Ling'er had just returned from the special training of the Liulin Camp in Maoshan with the elites of the Hu'er Battalion, and although Zhang Xian later knew that Bai Ling'er went to the front line, he also made great contributions, and finally took the Hu'er Battalion to Maoshan to receive special training from the Black Flag Army, but he didn't have time to visit.

The New Year was approaching, and there were many state affairs, so he hurried back to Shangjing.

After coming back, he didn't have any leisure, and he didn't even know that Bai Ling'er was back.

As a result, when he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he was cleaned up by the angry Bai Ling'er.

Zhang Xian knew that he couldn't live with Bai Ling'er, so he let him do it, and he was very cooperative, shouting and screaming in pain, and finally coaxed the little white tiger.

Bai Ling'er was angry, and after she finished sprinkling her coquettishness, she opened her eyes fiercely and was pulled away by Barbarian Ling'er.

"Your Majesty, there is an abnormal situation in the Troubled Stone Pass、、、"
