Li Yuan was stunned for a while, looking at Xin Zi and not knowing how to answer.

Takemoto hurriedly said: "Even if you want to break through, please let me and Li Yuan open the way for you." ”

When it comes to the decision of Xin Zi's safety, Takemoto has always insisted on it. This insistence was mostly regarded by Li Yuan as reckless and foolish, so the two of them mostly disagreed at the moment of crisis. But this time, Li Yuan nodded vigorously, and busily agreed with Takemoto's statement.

"The city wall is already full of crossbowmen just by looking at the battlements, and the number of troops behind the wall is even more unpredictable, and the sword has no eyes, even if they have no intention of hurting you, it will be difficult for a person like you to escape in the past." Li Yuan followed Takemoto's position and said.

Xin Zi shook her head lightly, her gaze firm.

She may have hesitated a little before she arrived in the Dragon Tail Valley, but now that she was at the foot of this man-made valley and saw the situation in the city clearly, she was sure that her decision was not wrong.

Perhaps with Takemoto and Li Yuan's eyesight, they could only roughly guess the distribution of troops stationed at the bottom of this valley, but she was different—she clearly saw that it was none other than Yan Wudaunt standing on the wall in armor like a statue at this moment.

Under such distance and light, it is difficult for Rao is Xin Zi's eagle-like vision to distinguish whether Yan Wuxing's expression at the moment is sad, happy, vigilant or leisurely.

But she knew that Yan Wuxing was staying there like this at this time, and it was definitely not out of the duty of a border general, but because of some news-could it be because of her?

Xin Zi was a little more worried, frowning and thinking: Could it be that the Xiyou Imperial Court already knew that he had fled from Dongyuan and went all the way to the west? Not only did he know about it, but he also handed the news to all parts of the border and told them to defend it strictly?

If that's the case, then it's enough to make a gesture from the beginning to tell her that she is not welcome as a foreigner here......

Xin Zi shook her head, trying to throw away this bad thought.

Now that we've come this far, there's no reason to back down. Since she just happened to bump into Yan Wudaunt guarding the city wall, whether it was intentional or providential, it was all hinting that it was time for her to give it a go.

"I'll be fine," Xin Zi looked at Li Yuan and Takemoto, not trying to persuade the two of them to insist, but calmly telling the two of them a fact, "The one standing on top of that tower is none other than Yan Wudang." Believe me, he won't hurt me. ”

Li Yuan is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when he saw Xin Zi saying this, he didn't say more, nodded and put away the reins of the horse, making way for Xin Zi.

Takemoto was still a little uneasy in her heart, but since Li Yuan decided to let go, she couldn't insist on anything anymore - after all, she had come all the way, every time she had a dispute with him, she only proved her fault in the end, she still insisted on her own heart, and she couldn't learn to judge the situation like Li Yuan, but she learned smarter and knew how to stand on Li Yuan's side when she encountered differences.

Xin Zi smiled with relief when she saw this, and went forward with a clamp on the horse's belly, and after walking two steps, she didn't forget to turn around and remind the two, "Remember to find a secret place and wait for me to come back."

As he spoke, night had fallen, and there were sporadic lights on the towers, but it was pitch black beneath the gates.

There was no moon that night, not even a starlight in sight.

Xin Zi regretted that she only wore a coarse cloth shirt and trousers that Li Yuan had "borrowed" from an ordinary peasant woman outside Qubu City. There was almost no dye added to the trousers, and the dark brown of the burlap fabric itself blended almost into the ground beneath her feet and the red horse beneath her, disappearing perfectly into the infinite background.

Looking down from the tower, if she hadn't had her good eyesight and deliberately searched, she wouldn't have been noticed until she touched the gate.

She suddenly lifted Li Yuan's previous plan was not so outrageous, at least the first step was not impossible to hide his body by night.

But what she needs now is to be noticed.

Xin Zi raised his head and looked at the sentry-like man standing on a high platform outside the city tower, who was holding a crossbow and a crossbow across his chest, looking into the distance without squinting, and did not look down at Xin Zi, who had already come to his feet.

Xin Zi sighed, pulled the reins of the horse and turned the horse sideways, facing the direction of the city wall, in order to let the people on the city tower see it more realistically.

Then she took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "The surviving Xin Zi, ask to see General Yan Wudaunting!" ”

The voice reached the ears of the sentry with the bow and crossbow, and the words could no longer be heard. The sentinel was excited, looking for prestige in the past, and then he saw clearly Xin Zi, who was only less than twenty steps away from the city gate at the foot of the city wall, and was so panicked that he aimed the crossbow in his hand at Xin Zi.

Perhaps it was because he was worried that Xin Zi would be unfavorable to Yan Wuxing, or maybe he was deliberately covering up his dereliction of duty as a sentry who failed to discover the enemy situation in time, but the sentry did not wait for the order, but actually pulled the trigger without authorization, and the black feather arrow in his hand immediately ejected and went towards Xin Zi's eyebrows.

Xin Zi saw the iron-cast arrow flying towards her from a distance, and when she came back to her senses, the arrow was already close at hand, she didn't have time to think about it, she subconsciously leaned back, and then turned over and jumped off the horse, lest this warning arrow would come with a new round of arrow rain, she could only step forward and hide behind the horse, but she couldn't say the disappointment in her heart.

On the city wall, the crossbowman standing on the high place did not usher in the expected screams or groans of the arrow piercing into the enemy's body after shooting the arrow, and was looking up in the direction of Xin Zi in confusion, but saw that only a horse was left in front of him, and the figure was gone.

The crossbowman was surprised by the sharpness of his eyesight, and when he raised the crossbow and was about to release another arrow at the remaining horse to probe the truth, he was caught off guard and ate on his leg, so painful that he immediately knelt down on his knees, frowning and humming.

But when he came back to his senses, he looked up and was about to scold and scold, but he saw General Yan looking at him with a gloomy face, with a cold light in his eyes, which frightened him to silence immediately, and he didn't dare to breathe, so he could only kneel again, bow respectfully, and wait for General Yan's fall.

Yan Wuxing didn't look at him anymore, came to the city tower again, looked over through the lookout again, although he didn't see Xin Zi's person, he still shouted to the lonely horse in a gentle voice: "Miss Xin, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" (To be continued.) )
