The heavy gate was smashed with a dull sound, and the wood paint on the gate had long since peeled off, revealing mottled and stale marks, and the sand and gravel piled up behind it had been knocked loose.

A bloodied hand trembled and rested on the arm-thick latch, pulling it away little by little.

They had been holding out for so long that the general had said that reinforcements would arrive in five days at most, but now it was the ninth day.

They did not wait for reinforcements, but only waited for the increasingly fierce offensive of the Hu people.

Death is not actually terrible, what is terrible is waiting for death.

Now, they don't want to wait any longer.

I don't know how long it took, but the latch was finally removed, and the heavy gate was knocked open with a small crack, and it was again blocked by the sand and gravel piled up behind the gate, and it could not be opened for a while.

The bright light of fire spilled in through the crack in the door, sprinkled on the soldiers who had long been exhausted, and the expressions on their faces were a little trance, as if they had seen a fairyland on earth, and laughed weirdly.

Finally, there is no need to hold on hopelessly.

The city is broken again......

Woo!!

The long, thick sound of the horn came from a very distant place, as ethereal as a Sanskrit sound, a harbinger of the arrival of reinforcements, but only a numbness remained in the ears of these people.

It's a hallucination, and I've seen it many times.

They won't be ridiculous anymore.

Squeak!

The gates were slammed open a little more, and the Hu people rushed in like murderers.

The blood was spilled on the ground, but no one felt the pain, and they even gave up resistance, leaving only relief.

The next moment, Ku Keduo rode his horse and led his troops into the city, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

At the same time, a secret guard quickly rushed into the city lord's mansion and found Su Li, who was helping the wounded soldier to bandage his wounds: "The city is broken, follow me!" ”

"What?"

Su Li let out a low cry in surprise, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the city tower, the flag symbolizing Yuanzhao was still fluttering and did not fall.

The clothes on her body were already stained with blood, she couldn't see her original color, her little face was also full of blood, and the whole person was so thin that she seemed to fall to the ground in the next moment, but she always stubbornly persevered.

The secret guard couldn't bear it, avoided her gaze, and said in a dumb voice: "They couldn't hold it anymore, so they opened the city gate themselves." ”

I can't hold it anymore.

Those who have not experienced it firsthand cannot imagine what a desperate sentence it is.

Su Li only felt that her heart ached unbearably, and she looked at the scarred soldiers around her, not knowing what else to do for them.

They are really too tired, even if there is still food and grass left in the city, but the body has already carried it to the limit after fighting day and night.

"The Hu people are coming in soon, go out of the city immediately!"

The secret guard said decisively that Su Li had said before that once this place could not be defended, she would lead her troops back to burn the grain and grass prepared by Anjia for the Hu people first, so as to prevent the Hu people from continuing to drive straight in.

Woo!!

The sound of the horn pierced through the night sky and came to the New Year, Su Li's steps that were about to leave paused, and subconsciously grabbed the hand of the secret guard: "Is it that the reinforcements have arrived?" I hear the trumpet! ”

The secret guard was grabbed by her hand, and couldn't help but listen carefully, but he only heard the painful groans of the soldiers around him, and never heard any horns.

"The girl misheard!"

After speaking, the secret guard grabbed Su Li's hand and walked out, and there were ten secret guards waiting at the door.

Chu Lingzhao gave Su Li a hundred secret guards, and Su Li deliberately called these 100 people arbitrarily, but these ten people had another secret decree, and once they encountered danger, they must first protect Su Li.

So even if Su Li didn't plan to return to burn grain and grass, they would forcibly take Su Li away.

Su Li turned over and got on her horse and glanced in the direction of the city tower again.

The distance was too far away, she couldn't see where Lu Ji was and if he was okay, and she didn't have time to go up to the city tower to say goodbye to him.

"Girl, the Hu people have attacked!"

The secret guard urged, Su Li retracted her gaze, and lightly clamped the horse's belly and galloped the horse.

This time, it may be a parting of life and death, and since then yin and yang have been separated, and there is no turning back.

Thinking of this, Su Li swung her whip hard, not giving herself a chance to turn back.

The group quickly left the city at night, without the interference of the war, and the ears became quiet, and the horn of the arrival of reinforcements sounded again, and it was louder, and it was clearly closer than just now.

Su Li immediately turned the horse's head and galloped to the hillside where the cremated body had been cremated before, and following the prestige, a faint light appeared on the mountain road in the distance.

The light was at first the size of a bean, scattered seven or eight, but it moved rapidly, and soon became dense.

Su Li saw that her heart was pounding, she wiped her eyes, the light did not disappear, but she still asked the secret guard beside her for verification: "Is it the reinforcements that have arrived?" ”

"Yes!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Su Li's heart was suddenly filled with various emotions and almost exploded.

"Back to the city!"

Su Li led the people back to the city, and she only hated that she couldn't make her voice louder and louder, so that everyone could know the news of the arrival of reinforcements immediately.

Judging from the distance just now, hold on for another hour at most, and the reinforcements will be able to arrive here!

After so many days, is it still an hour?

The speed of the Hu attack was very fast, they were hungry and cold outside the city, and they were also caught in a bitter battle in this battle that they had an absolute advantage, and in order to survive, they had to end the battle as soon as possible.

As soon as Su Li entered the city, she met the Hu people, and the ten secret guards guarded her like sharp blades, she didn't go to the city tower to find Lu Ji, she went straight to the city lord's mansion, set fire on the roof of the city lord's mansion, and then found the horn and blew the sound of rescue.

Her body was no longer good, and the sound she blew was not as loud as the soldiers in the barracks who specialized in blowing the horn, but it was far better than her shouting in her own voice.

Reinforcements have arrived!

It's really here this time!

The sound of the trumpet immediately spread throughout the city, and although it was quickly suppressed by the horn of the Hu people attacking the city, it did not affect the hearing of everyone.

This time they heard it very clearly, and after pinching it on their face, they felt pain, not a hallucination or a dream.

"Reinforcements have arrived! Kill with me!! ”

Lu Ji shouted on the city tower, and the spear quickly pierced the two Hu people who climbed up the city tower, and the already exhausted people stood up again.

When reinforcements arrive, they'll come back and win!

Hu Keduo led his troops into the city, and did not look for Lu Ji and Lu Xiao first like last time, he had no intention of surrendering, he just wanted to slaughter the city to relieve his anger of being deceived before.

Hearing the sound of Su Li's horn, Hu Keduo immediately rushed to the City Lord's Mansion with people.

He was fooled once, and he decided that this time it was just a bluff, and he was bent on finding out the people who were playing tricks behind his back!

Su Li was blown out of oxygen, and her head was dizzy for a while, but she refused to stop, she was afraid that no one had heard it, and she was afraid that after she stopped, those soldiers would lose their fighting spirit to persevere.

Hold on, don't give up, the reinforcements have really arrived, this big battle, we won!

Su Li pleaded in her heart, a group of Hu people poured in, and all ten secret guards drew their swords to protect Su Li behind her, Su Li turned her head and saw a person as tall as a hill pushing away Hu Ren and coming over.

He is three points similar to Kutar, full of killing and blood, his eyes under the thick eyebrows are as sharp and terrifying as eagles, and he is still imposing after two years of goodbye.

Looking at each other, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Hu Keduo, and then he was replaced by joy: "It's you!" ”

He recognized Su Li, but Su Li was not as happy as him, his brows furrowed with a strong disgust, and he said to the secret guard who was blocking him: "He is the commander of the Hu people, catch him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the ten secret guards immediately swung their swords forward and fought with those Hu people.

Kukto didn't panic, didn't even retreat to dodge, and rushed forward first with a knife.

He exchanged hands with the dark guard, but his eyes were staring directly at Su Li, like a hunter with superb hunting skills, staring at his fat prey.

That look made Su Li's back cold, and he subconsciously stepped back, feeling a scorching heat, and the fire on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion was spreading.

As soon as the cold wind blew, the fire grew bigger, blocking Su Li's retreat, Su Li looked up, only to see Su Keduo's inevitable smile.

……

The fire in the City Lord's Mansion grew bigger and bigger, like a huge torch, illuminating the entire city, and also providing guidance and warning to the reinforcements who were rushing here.

"There's danger in the city!"

Hu He spoke, took the lead in raising the whip and speeding up and ran forward, Chu Huai'an had a tight head, and was about to keep up, when the horse under him suddenly fell forward, and a huge inertia struck, and his whole person was also knocked to the ground.

"Master Hou!"

The people around him shouted, Chu Huai'an rolled on the ground twice, slowing down the impact and stabilizing his body, but the horse didn't get up again, and fell to the ground so tired that he was foaming at the mouth.

Chu Huai'an stood up with a cold face, pulled the person closest to him off the horse, turned over and whipped the horse whip fiercely, the whip was extremely ruthless, and a blood mark was drawn on the horse's buttocks, and the horse immediately rushed forward frantically.

"Kill!!"

Everyone roared angrily and followed, shouting and killing shook the sky.

Hu He and Chu Huai'an were the first to rush into the city, and the people in the city had already moved, and in addition to endless sadness, there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Holding cold swords in their hands, they beat their horses, and when they saw the Hu people, they did not hesitate to cut them under the horses.

Galloping all the way to the city gate, the city tower is in a bloody battle, to be exact, more like a one-sided slaughter by the Hu people.

Hu He and Chu Huai'an galloped forward to join the battle and killed the Hu people, and the rescued soldiers were all stunned, looking at them in a daze, until they killed all the way up the city tower before they finally cried: "It's reinforcements!" Reinforcements have really arrived! ”

Hu He and Chu Huai'an had piercing eyes, the two didn't know each other before, and they didn't communicate along the way, but at this time, they had a weird and very tacit understanding, like two killing gods from purgatory, no one could stop them.

When they went up to the city tower, Hu He and Chu Huai'an saw Lu Xiao first, because he was wearing a golden armor, even if the armor had already been soaked in blood and lost its color, it was extremely eye-catching.

Lu Xiao was besieged by three Hu generals, he held a long knife in his hand, and used the blade to resist the knives of the three people, but he was pressed to the city wall, his upper body was suspended in the air, and he would fall from the city tower if he was not careful.

He resisted with all his might, his hands trembling obviously, but he couldn't match the strength of these three people after all.

His feet were kicked, and his body suddenly hung in the air and fell downward, and after falling for a while, his feet were caught, and he looked up in surprise and grabbed two of them, one wearing a silver mask and the other handsome.

Before he could take a closer look, someone attacked, and Lu Xiao hurriedly spoke: "Be careful!" ”

"Hold on!"

Chu Huai'an let go of his hand after saying a word to Hu He, and sealed the throat of the Hu people who were sneaking up with a sword.

"Dog thing, dare to sneak attack your grandfather, grandpa go to your ancestor!" Chu Huai'an scolded, the sword in his hand held the flower, and he took the head of the person with a sigh, not allowing anyone to approach, and Hu He pulled Lu Xiao up with force in his hand.

Lu Xiao lost his strength a little, fell to the ground, his face was very bad, Hu He squatted down in front of him, and immediately took off his robe to help him fix his left arm, tying a dead knot.

Hu He was wearing a mask, and Lu Xiao couldn't see his face, only staring at his black hole-like left eye.

"Reinforcements have arrived, rest assured!"

Hu He said in a low voice, his voice was hoarse and ugly, and he was long gone, but the moment he got up, his shoulder was grabbed by Lu Xiao.

"Blaze?"

Lu Xiao called out uncertainly, his face was full of shock, as if he didn't expect the child he had raised single-handedly to become like this.

Hu He's body stiffened, he lowered his eyes to avoid Lu Xiao's gaze, brushed Lu Xiao's hand away, and coldly denied: "The country recognizes the wrong person!" ”

Lu Xiao had to say anything more, Hu He had already gotten up and killed the Hu people.

"I'll grass your ancestors for eighteen generations, all of them will be out of the way of Lao Tzu!" Chu Huai'an roared while swinging his sword, his eyes kept looking for Su Li's figure on the city tower.

Where is it? Where will that little thing be waiting for him?

By the way, Lu Ji, when it is so dangerous, she will definitely follow Lu Ji.

At this time, Chu Huai'an didn't care about the taste, he hadn't seen him for so long, he just wanted to make sure that Su Li was alive and well, and there was no missing arms or legs!

"Su Li!"

There was really no one to be found, Chu Huai'an roared angrily, and was immediately covered by the shouts of the reinforcements who rushed into the city from behind.

The sound of killing shook the sky, indicating that they would win this battle, but without seeing Su Li, that heart could never settle down.

Suddenly, Chu Huai'an saw a group of Hu people hanging the Yuanzhao banner, and among those Hu people, there was a faint silver figure shaking constantly.

"A-Li!"

Chu Huai'an shouted and quickly killed, and before a Hu man was about to cut off the flag rope, a sword killed that person.

Drawing his sword, the steaming slimy blood poured Chu Huai'an's body, he resisted Hu Ren with one hand, and pulled Lu Ji up with the other, but saw that Lu Ji had a bloody Yuanzhao soldier under him, not Su Li.

He quickly swept around, but still didn't find Su Li's figure.

"Where's A-Li?"

Chu Huai'an took the time to ask, the movements in his hands became more and more fierce, the move was fatal, Lu Ji was seriously injured, he didn't care about answering, and mentioned the long halberd and Chu Huai'an to kill the enemy together.

Reinforcements also quickly poured into the city tower, and the unsightly Hu people finally died, Chu Huai'an grabbed the collar of the halberd and pressed him on the city tower: "Ahem, Hou Ye......"

As soon as Lu Ji said the beginning, he was interrupted by Chu Huai'an: "What about Ah Li?" Why isn't she with you? ”

Chu Huai'an asked anxiously, Lu Ji coughed heavily, and it took a long time to stop: "Ah Li is treating the soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Even if you're still a gentleman, you didn't let her come here to kill the enemy!

Chu Huai'an thought in his heart, throwing away Lu Halberd and turning around to leave, when he suddenly heard a huge collapse sound, following the reputation, sparks flew everywhere, and a tall building located in the west of the city collapsed.

His heart ached suddenly, and Chu Huai'an turned his head to look at Lu Ji: "What kind of place is that?" ”

"City Lord's Mansion!"

Chu Huai'an rode his horse and galloped all the way, and there were still Hu people on the street who were not completely cleared, but he didn't care about anything, he just wanted to hurry up and reach the city lord's mansion faster.

Saibei is a desert, there is a shortage of water, and there is chaos in the city, the city lord's mansion is burning with a raging fire, but no one is fighting the fire.

Chu Huai'an felt a heat wave when he was two streets away from the City Lord's Mansion, and he couldn't cross one street further, not only the City Lord's Mansion, but also the surrounding houses were burned.

"Su Li! You're answering me! ”

Chu Huai'an roared, the horse was so frightened by the heat wave that he didn't dare to step forward, he turned over and dismounted and was about to rush forward, but was grabbed by Hu He, and Chu Huai'an gave Hu He a punch with his backhand.

The punch was extremely fierce, and the mask on Hu He's face was knocked away, revealing a hideous scar, which became more and more terrifying against the backdrop of the firelight, which was terrifying.

Hu He was stunned for a moment, didn't stop Chu Huai'an anymore, walked to the side and picked up the mask and put it back on, Chu Huai'an ran a few steps ahead, and two secret guards rushed up and held him down.

These are the ten people Su Li left him in Xunzhou, and they still remember what Su Li said, no matter what happens, they must protect his safety.

"Master Hou, the others have already gone to the county lord, such a big fire, the county lord won't stay here and not run, Master Hou, you calm down first!"

The dark guard said eagerly, not daring to let go easily.

The fire became more and more vigorous, burning so much that it beeped and peeled non-stop, and it seemed to put Chu Huai'an's anxious heart on the fire and barbecue it.

Chu Huai'an forced himself to calm down, trying to think about where Su Li might be if she wasn't in the City Lord's Mansion, but her mind was full of Su Li's injuries, and she was powerless, after the city was broken, if she met Hu Ren, how could she protect herself? What will the Hu people do to her?

Those bloody and terrifying images kept pouring into his mind, making his head bulge and hurt, and Chu Huaian couldn't imagine where Su Li might be now.

Chu Huai'an couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples, his eyes were slightly raised, and his vision reflected a pair of black boots on a white background, there was no extra embroidery on the boots, and they were already stained with blood.

Hu He looked at the fire that was getting bigger and bigger, and the silver mask reflected the flickering tongue of fire, like a ghost.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Chu Huai'an broke free from the secret guard and grabbed Hu He's collar: "What are you doing here?" ”

Chu Huai'an rushed to the City Lord's Mansion because he knew that Su Li was here and was worried about Su Li's safety, why did Hu He do? Wasn't the purpose of his troops here to find Kukeduo?

"Kukodor here?"

Chu Huai'an asked, a monstrous wave set off in his heart, and he felt a chill in his back.

Hu He pulled down Chu Huai'an's hand, straightened his collar, and said casually: "I've been here, and I'm gone again." ”

"You speak to me clearly, don't pretend to be a ghost for me!" Chu Huai'an said a sweep and rushed towards Hu He, Hu He was on guard this time, sideways to avoid, not much nonsense, as soon as his hand blocked, he and Chu Huai'an came to beckon, and the secret guard next to him could only watch dryly, and he didn't dare to step forward to pull the fight.

I don't know how long later, an old and frail voice came: "Stop! ”

The voice was not high, wrapped in exhaustion, and it was not easy for people to notice, but Hu He withdrew his hand at the first time, and then received another punch in the face, this time the mask on his face was not knocked away again.

"Stop!"

Lu Xiao raised his voice and roared again, the secret guard stepped forward to grab Chu Huai'an, Lu Xiao looked at Chu Huai'an and then at Hu He, and sighed: "This battle is not over yet, what are you talking like this?" ”

This tone is like an elderly father, who can't control his own rebellious stinky boy.

Chu Huai'an glared at Hu He viciously, finally put down his fist, broke away from the secret guard, and wanted to go to the city to find Su Li, but was stopped by Lu Xiao: "Where is Master Hou?" ”

"Find someone!"

Chu Huai'an replied angrily, his tone was a little sullen, Lu Xiao coughed, and stopped in front of him: "Now that the city is in chaos, Master Hou wants to go around the city like a headless fly?" ”

"Then look for it too!" Chu Huai'an roared, his emotions were out of control, and his eyes were red, like a child who had been greatly wronged: "Don't tell me anything about the overall situation, I don't listen, I just want to find her, she said that she wants to live and wait for me to come, no matter where she is, I must find her!" ”

"Silly boy......" Lu Xiao sighed, untied the silver herald from his waist and threw it to Chu Huai'an: "Hou Ye asked people to take this order and pass it on, so that the soldiers in the city can pay attention to where Ah Li is, it is much faster than Hou Ye looking around in the city alone." ”

“……”

Chu Huai'an's expression was a little broken, and Lu Xiao said again: "Ah Li is a good girl, if it weren't for her, Hu Ren would have gone straight into it, and the old man didn't want to watch her have an accident." ”

“……”

Chu Huai'an snatched the herald and asked the secret guard to pass it on, and he gradually calmed down.

However, calm is calm, but the anxiety in my heart can never be suppressed.

Lu Ji supported the seriously injured body of the remnants of the Hu people in the city, Hu Keduo did not believe that the reinforcements arrived, and did not give the order to retreat, the Hu people were severely injured by the reinforcements before they were divided into small groups and fled out of the city, Lu Ji sent about 10,000 people to chase, and the rest stayed to clean up the battlefield.

The first ray of sunshine poured down in the new year, and the surviving soldiers on the city tower helped each other to walk towards the barracks, with the illusion of being suddenly separated from the world.

They survived the most cruel and gray month of their lives, as if they had been crushed and reshaped.

They didn't die, but a lot of things in their minds were different from before.

They looked up at the bright sunshine, and faintly felt that they should be happy, but the corners of their lips could not be raised, and their hearts were very painful, as if every step they took, there were countless souls crying sharply under their feet.

Lu Ji stood on the city tower and watched these soldiers walk forward step by step, the tense nerves in his brain finally eased a little bit, his eyes were a little hot, but he never shed tears, he just straightened his back a little straighter, straightened a little straighter, and silently told these soldiers, don't worry, I will always be here, guarding this city gate for you.

I don't know how long it took, and a soldier's whisper came from his ear: "General Lu, go and rest, the Hu people have been repulsed!" ”

Have the Hu people been repulsed?

He thought in surprise, and stepped forward, but his eyes were dark, but his body fell heavily to the ground.

Lu Ji and Lu Xiao were both seriously injured, and as soon as they relaxed, they couldn't get up, Chu Huai'an's heart was tied to Su Li, and Hu He naturally took over the military power.

That night, the Hu people folded 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and 50,000 soldiers and horses fled outside and became stragglers, and there was no longer the momentum of attacking the city.

They didn't want to attack the city, but Hu He didn't plan to let them go, and once they found out, they would send troops to wipe them all out.

However, there are exceptions.

One day, Hu He personally led the troops to capture 2,000 Hu people and came back, and he took the 2,000 Hu people to the military camp and let the soldiers who were still recuperating from their wounds cut and play with knives.

That day, the entire military camp echoed with the monstrous roar of the Hu people, but I don't know what method Hu He used, so that those Hu people were soft and had no room to fight back.

The air was filled with the sweet smell of blood that day, and the eyes of the soldiers who had killed people were terrifying, and they were excited by the killing and blood, no different from the monsters who drank blood.

Chu Huai'an went out to look for Su Li for a day, and when he came back, it was already evening, only to see piles of corpses, and Hu He's cold and happy smile, and the blood-red remnant sun sprinkled on Hu He's face, making him look like the king of Hades who holds all the power to kill people.

Hu He's smile made Chu Huai'an very uncomfortable, like being entangled in a poisonous tongue spitting snake letters, as long as he was bitten, he would be killed immediately.

"What is Master Hou looking at?" Sensing Chu Huai'an's gaze, Hu He turned his head and asked.

He only has one eye left, and when he looks at people, he always makes people feel cold in his back, and he panics, Chu Huaian looked at those corpses and frowned: "If you want to kill these people, you will kill them, what are you going to do when you bring them back, don't you think it's a dirty place?" ”

"No."

Hu He replied, he had just witnessed a massacre, his mood was quite happy, and his tone was also cheerful, Chu Huai's discomfort reached its peak, his scalp was numb, and he couldn't help scolding: "You have a sick brain!" ”

"I'm not the one who is sick." Hu He retorted, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the camp where the wounded soldiers lived, and his tone was gentle and almost ethereal: "Those people are sick, obviously the Hu people have been repulsed, they can't sleep even if they hold their swords, and the horn of the siege always rings in their ears, they don't really survive, and it won't be long before they die at their own hands." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chu Huai'an's hair was about to explode when he said it, Hu He didn't continue what he had just said, turned his head to look at the pile of corpses, and muttered to himself: "I'm saving them." ”

His voice was extremely soft, and his gaze at those corpses became gentle and benevolent, like a Buddha tainted with evil energy, even though his hands were full of blood, but it was for the salvation of the world.

"Only I can save them."

He said this in a firm tone that would not allow anyone to refute him.

Only those who lock themselves in purgatory know the way to climb out of purgatory.

Chu Huai'an was so stimulated by Hu Heshen's words that he almost wanted to draw his sword and fight with him, Hu He suddenly lifted his eyes and looked at him seriously and said, "Hu Keduo didn't go out of the city." ”

"What?"

"Ku Keduo didn't leave the city that night, he is now in Yuanzhao!"

Lu Ji and Hu Keduo have five years of experience in fighting, so they know each other, but Lu Ji's understanding of Hu Keduo is far less than Hu He's, after all, he hid in the dark and quietly observed Hu Keduo for five years.

If Ku Keduo went out of the city with the 50,000 stragglers, with his stubborn and self-serving character, he would inevitably lead his troops to attack the city again at all costs, and Hu Keduo would not feel sorry for the lives of those Hu soldiers, he would only do whatever it took to achieve his own goals.

Now these stragglers are being chased and killed so easily, which is a great shame for Kucodo, but Kucodo did not organize a counterattack, and the only reasonable explanation is what Hu He just said, Kukodo did not withdraw from the city according to common sense.

Kucodo didn't leave the city, so where did he go?

This was the first thought that popped into Chu Huai'an's mind, but before he could figure it out, he heard Hu He say: "Master Hou, the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion have all been cleared out today. ”

When the words fell, Chu Huai'an had already turned around and hurried away in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

The fire in the City Lord's Mansion burned for three whole days, and Chu Huai'an allocated two hundred people to clean up the ruins, and it took three days to clean it up.

The charred corpses that had been cleaned out were all neatly piled up in the open space, the fire was too great, and the corpses were destroyed cleanly, leaving only black skeletons, which could not be identified at all.

Chu Huai'an went straight to these charred corpses, and when he got closer, he could still smell the smell of burnt skin and flesh, and his stomach was churning, but he stubbornly didn't look away, only widened his eyes and swept over those charred corpses inch by inch, refusing to let go of any detail.

Su Li doesn't like to wear any jewelry, and there are no markings on his body that can help identify him, he looked at those charred corpses, there was endless panic in his heart, and a firm voice in his head told him: It's not her, these people are not her!

She promised to stay alive until he brought reinforcements.

What she said, it shouldn't be counted!

When she was in Xunzhou, she said that she would no longer have unrealistic illusions about Lu Ji, and he also kissed her and lightened her, it stands to reason that he wanted Ming Media to marry her and give her an explanation, how could she just disappear?

Chu Huai'an kept hinting to himself in his heart, but his eyes couldn't control the heat, he walked past one charred corpse after another, and suddenly guessed something under his feet, and looked down to see that it was a somewhat deformed token.

The front of the token is engraved with the word 'soldier', and the reverse side is engraved with the word '蘅'.

This is a talisman that can mobilize soldiers and horses in Suzhou.

He had heard that Su Li had transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from Yuzhou.

Chu Huai'an couldn't straighten up when he held the token, and his fingertips trembled.

It's not her!

He told himself in his heart that his eyes were getting hotter and hotter, and his vision became blurry, and he couldn't even read the words on the token!

Smack!

A drop of crystalline liquid dripped onto the token, washing away the black ashes, revealing a bit of shiny silver.

"Master Hou, I found it! We found the cloth for the county lord's clothes outside the city! ”

There was a sudden exclamation behind him, interrupting the atmosphere of grief and unbearable, Chu Huaian quickly raised his hand and wiped his eyes, stuffed the token into his arms, and turned his head to look at the person: "Where is it?" ”

The sadness on his face has been completely subdued, his lips are pursed, his expression is cold and solemn, and he is very serious, only a pair of eyes are red, and there is still undried water at the bottom of his eyes, how strange it is.

The dark guard ran to him, startled by his red eyes, forgot what he should say for a while, and was reprimanded by him in a cold voice: "Ben Hou asked you, deaf?" ”

The secret guard hurriedly came back to his senses, lowered his head, and took out a piece of fine fabric from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him: "This was found on a tree branch outside the city, and it should be a mark that the county lord tied to it for us." ”

Chu Huai'an took the strip of cloth and held it tightly in his hand, the strip of cloth was extremely broken, and there was no temperature for a long time, but when he held it in his hand, it made him feel as if he was holding that slender and soft hand.

I'll find you!

Chu Huai'an said in his heart, the secret guard secretly raised his eyes to look at him, and couldn't stop muttering in his heart: No, Hou Ye actually cried? Why?

Without waiting for the secret guard to understand, Chu Huai'an put away the cloth strip and strode forward, while commanding: "Prepare the horse!" ”

"Yes!" The secret guard immediately agreed, and he looked confused after answering: "Where is Master Hou going?" ”

"Looking for a wife!"

“……”

Master Hou, are you married? Which wife are you looking for?
