This time, unlike when he was in Qubu City, even Takemoto did not have the previous firmness and courage to fight to the death.

It seems that it is impossible to break through, and there should be no chance of victory.

Li Yuan was planning quickly in his heart, and finally approached Xin Zi's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the general Xiyouyan who was stationed?" What is he capable of? How does it compare to our General Yi? ”

Although Xin Zi had said before that he had some friendship with that Yan Wuxing, people with a little brain could also see that Xin Zi looked extremely reluctant when she said that, obviously deliberately fabricated it in order to persuade him and Takemoto not to risk crossing Longji Mountain for her. How much is true and how much is false? Li Yuan boldly speculated, but he was afraid that Xin Zi and this Yan Wuxing were acquaintances, and they would never be friends, maybe it would be good if the two were not mortal enemies. Otherwise, Xin Zi could have handed a letter to the general when the three of them had just stepped into the Western Continent, asking him to transfer troops to the north to escort the three of them south into Xijing, so why risk passing through the land of demons alone?

Sure enough, as Li Yuan expected, Xin Zi's eyes were a little uncertain, staring at the bluestone city wall in the distance, and replied lightly: "It's more than that." "I didn't say a word about what she said before that the two were friends.

Li Yuan had a general understanding in his heart, he looked at Takemoto, and the two nodded tacitly, agreeing with each other's ideas. Li Yuan was more sure that there was no problem with his plan and boldly proposed: "We want to disguise and fool the past like in Qubu City, but we are afraid that it will not be easy, it is better to wait outside this country first, wait until the sun sets, the gate of the pass over there is locked, and the sky is dark, we will attack the city wall at night, Takemoto will take cover, and my palace will protect your safety, we will take advantage of their unpreparedness and secretly break through." ”

This plan is obviously full of loopholes, not to mention that the defenders here are all brought out by Yan Wudaunt himself, practicing every day, without a moment of slackness, and all of them are vigilant and not losing to the soldiers on the march and fighting, it is impossible to miss the three big living people because of the far-fetched reason that the so-called sky is not good and cannot see clearly, and let them make trouble under their noses.

Even if they are really fooled around, how will they break out after they go to the city wall?

How many cavalry, infantry, and crossbowmen were there within the walls of the city? With just the three of them, how can they resist?

can break into a city alone with the courage of one person and have enough confidence to retreat with his whole body, Xin Zi believes that there is only one person in this world.

So she shook her head and rejected Li Yuan's proposal in one gulp.

Li Yuan was not discouraged like this, but became more and more frustrated and said bravely: "If you think this is inappropriate, we can also try to bypass the mountains and forests with few troops and relatively gentle terrain on the side of the city wall, and if we can't do it, we can simply pass through the shallow sea in the west......

Seeing that Li Yuan's words became more and more outrageous, Xin Zi raised his hand to interrupt him, and said firmly: "You stay here, find a more hidden place and wait for me, and I will go to negotiate with the person guarding the city wall." ”

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, who was standing on the wall like a statue in armor 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 Wudaunt was staying there like this at this time, and it was definitely not out of the duty of a border general, but because of what news she had got-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 to be smarter and knew how to stand on Li Yuan's side when she encountered disagreements.

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.
