"Princess Xiao, please stay, the prince has an order, let you stay in the city lord's mansion, please don't embarrass your subordinates." The two guards hugged Yan Zixi and said respectfully.

"Bold, if you listen to the prince's life, won't you listen to me, the princess? The prince is now supervising the battle in the city tower, how can I, as a princess, have a reason to stay here, you get out of the way, I want to find the prince! Yan Zixi had a calm face and scolded the two guards who were blocking the way.

The two guards glanced at each other, but still had no intention of getting out of the way.

"Please forgive Princess Xiao, the prince has instructed his subordinates to guard Princess Xiao, and Princess Xiao must not be allowed to leave the house for half a step. Unless there is a dictation from the prince, the subordinates will never dare to let the princess leave, please go back to the house to rest immediately! ”

"You guys!" Yan Zixi gritted her teeth and was about to say something when a familiar figure walked over from the end of the corridor.

"The last general will see Princess Xiao!"

Yan Zixi looked for prestige, and when the tall figure in the darkness gradually revealed, Yan Zixi's pupils dilated slightly, and she suddenly covered her mouth and shouted out incredibly, "General Sun Li, is it really you?" Are you alright? ”

It turned out that the figure walking in the darkness was none other than General Sun Li, who was seriously injured in the past to save Yan Zixi.

"General Sun Li, great, are you awake?"

Sun Li, a big man, saw that Yan Zixi came back safe and sound, and he also had some tears in his eyes, and couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and replied: "Princess Lao Xiao cares, if it weren't for Princess Xiao's clever rescue, I'm afraid the last general would have died on the street a long time ago......"

"General Sun Li's words are serious, if you hadn't sacrificed your life to save me that day, I don't know what the consequences would be? I can only be regarded as repaying the general's kindness, not to mention that you are the general of Da Xiao, how can I not save you when I die? Yan Zixi let out a sigh of relief when she saw that General Sun Li was finally fine.

If he really had something long and short, Yan Zixi would definitely regret it in his heart. Fortunately, Sun Li finally woke up, looking at his appearance, although he still has bandages on his body, it should be no big deal, at least he can get out of bed and move around freely, but if he wants to go to the battlefield again, I'm afraid it will take some time.

"General Sun Li, let's go into the house and talk." Yan Zixi was worried that General Sun Li would not be able to bear it if he had been standing for a long time, so he hurriedly invited him to his bedroom and let him sit down.

After sitting down, Yan Zixi asked Sun Li about what happened in Cloud City recently.

When he learned that Xiao Jingcong led the 30,000 defenders of Yuncheng to resist Liang Xia's army of hundreds of thousands, Yan Zixi couldn't help but worry about it, and hurriedly asked Xiao Jingcong if he was injured.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingcong only suffered some skin injuries, and there was not much trouble, and a big stone in his heart fell.

"By the way, General Sun Li, that Zhang Huatian City Lord, why didn't I see him in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Yan Zixi suddenly remembered that this was the City Lord's Mansion, and it stands to reason that Zhang Huatian should stay here and command, but Yan Zixi didn't see Zhang Huatian, so she asked curiously.

"Princess Qiqi, the prince ordered him to go to the northern Xinjiang to move the rescue troops......" Sun Li replied truthfully.

Yan Zixi frowned slightly when she heard this, "Have you gone to Northern Xinjiang to move rescue troops?" Are there any remaining soldiers and horses left in Northern Xinjiang? ”

"There are garrisons at all major checkpoints, and City Lord Zhang is now trying to draw troops and horses from all checkpoints to encircle the Liangxia coalition army." vp

"But Jing Cong said that the garrisons at those checkpoints are all used to prevent the sneak attack of the enemy country, if all those elite soldiers are transferred over, in case the armies of other countries come to sneak attack, wouldn't it be embattled?" Yan Zixi didn't understand how Xiao Jingcong could make such a decision.

These were obviously all told to him, but he still sent Zhang Huatian to ask for help, and the only reason that can be explained is that this time Xiao Jingcong really encountered a strong enemy.

I'm afraid that the pressure on Yuncheng from Liang Xia and Liangjun this time is too great, and Xiao Jingcong is not completely sure that he can hold on, so he will think of sending troops and horses from all over northern Xinjiang to support. Moreover, Zhang Huatian often lives in northern Xinjiang and is known for his prestige, so he can borrow troops and be more able to serve the public, but he is not afraid that those soldiers and horses will not obey the command.

It's just that Yan Zixi is still faintly worried, and she doesn't know if there will be any accidents, but now she can only choose to believe it.

Yan Zixi chatted with General Sun Li for a while, and then General Sun Li said goodbye and left.

After Sun Li left, Yan Zixi looked at the sky, it was already late, and the two guards were guarding the door and refused to leave, Yan Zixi knew that there was no way to go out tonight, so she could only lie on the bed and rest first.

Just as Yan Zixi was about to lie down, something suddenly came from outside the door.

"Stop, who's there?"

Yan Zixi heard the voices of the two guards just now outside, and immediately became vigilant.

He ran to the door, pushed it open and was about to see what was happening outside, but he didn't realize that the two guards who had just stood at the door had been defeated to the ground.

Sun Li, who heard the movement and ran to check, was also knocked unconscious in the corridor, Yan Zixi immediately panicked, looked at the dark night sky, and asked sharply: "Who is there, come out?!" ”

As soon as Yan Zixi's words fell, a man in white jumped off the roof.

Through the dim candle flame, Yan Zixi barely recognized the figure of the man in white, and exclaimed in surprise: "Yuan Xiao, why are you?" ”

It turned out that after Li Yuanxiao left the city tower and separated from Xiao Jingcong, Li Yuanxiao was not in a hurry to get out of the city, but followed Yan Zixi all the way here.

"Li Yuanxiao, why did you come here, do you know what kind of place this is?" Yan Zixi didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be Li Yuanxiao, the prince of Yuanxia.

You must know that this is the City Lord's Mansion of Cloud City, didn't he, a prince of Yuanxia, come here to find his own death?

If Yan Zixi knew that Li Yuanxiao had even met Xiao Jingcong alone just now, she didn't know what she would think.

Li Yuanxiao curled the corners of his lips and smiled at Yan Zixi, "Zixi, now that you have seen Xiao Jingcong, it's time to leave here with me." ”

"Get out of here...... No, Yuan Xiao, I'm not leaving. Jing Cong...... Jing Cong he was really framed, he didn't write that desperate letter, I ......" Yan Zixi said with some excitement, but when she saw Li Yuanxiao's face showing displeasure, she immediately closed her mouth and didn't continue, but diverted the topic, "Yuan Xiao, you get out of here quickly, if you are seen by the guards, you can't leave......"

Yan Zixi was worried about Li Yuanxiao's safety, so she hurriedly urged.

However, Li Yuanxiao stood in place, without the slightest intention of leaving, he stretched out his hand and said to Yan Zixi again: "Zixi, come with me!" Xiao Jingcong is not worth your efforts for him! ”
