Chen Baishui and Feng Yue have been waiting for Liang Lie in the coach's room. Seeing Liang Lie coming in alone, Chen Baishui greeted him, "Boss." Although his face was sad, his eyes were uncontrollable with excitement.

Liang Lie looked at him and nodded, but asked Feng Yue, "How is the situation at the city gates?" ”

Feng Yue replied: "The copper nails of the original gate were melted and cast with bluestone." As long as there is no enemy tonight, it can be welded. However, if you do these good blast furnaces, they will go out. ”

"Is it sturdy?" Liang Lie was a little worried.

"The gates on all sides have been redone in this way, and they should be stronger than the copper-clad wooden gates before." Feng Yue looked at Liang Lie and continued, "If you want to go out, you can only go down from the city tonight for the time being." After tonight's ......, let's discuss it with the master when the time comes. ”

Chen Baishui took a step forward, "Boss, although it is dangerous to go out of the city from the city, the last general is willing to take risks for Tianchengwei." ”

"You go and rest, I'm tired all day today." Liang Lie didn't look at him.

Chen Baishui was stunned, "Boss? ”

"The order goes down. Lu Ao, Jin Jianchang, Ding Xionghui, and Nangong Jin each led 300 soldiers to guard one door, and Han Hongzhou was responsible for patrolling. Liang Lie commanded with an expressionless face.

"Yes." Feng Yue was also surprised, what did Nangong Jin say, how could there be such an arrangement?

Liang Lie said to Chen Baishui again: "Is Lin Fei's injury serious? ”

"The military doctor has seen it, and his foot is broken and he can't walk." Chen Baishui reminded: "Boss, aren't you going to negotiate peace with the Tatar army today?" ”

Liang Lie didn't look at Chen Baishui, "Let's not talk about it for the time being, if you can keep it, it's not yet time when you can't keep it." ”

Chen Baishui was anxious, "Boss, Nangong Jin is crazy at all...... ”

"Go down, you have wounds on you, too. I have to fight tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I have a good rest. Liang Lie continued to send him away.

"Boss!"

"I've made up my mind and won't change it."

Chen Baishui was stunned, I really don't know what Nangong Jin said, how could it change so quickly? Seeing that Liang Lie really didn't care about him anymore, he had to retreat.

**********

It's getting late, and after today's battle, the city seems to be quieter, and even the occasional soldiers who adjust the defense run past have lost their original spirit. Chen Baishui walked down the city wall, several wounds on his body ached faintly, and complained to Lu Ao in his heart, if he hadn't come too fast, maybe now the Tartars had entered the city, and there would be no problems.

"General Chen." Behind him, Zhang Maocai caught up, looked at him and asked anxiously, "Are you out of the city?" ”

Chen Baishui glanced back at him and smiled bitterly without answering.

"General Chen, I just went to see General Huang, alas, ......, this is too miserable." Zhang Maocai's voice was full of grief, and seeing that Chen Baishui didn't seem to react, he said with a hint of horror: "Now it's spread all over the camp, saying yes, saying that it is a thousand-year-old zombie!" However, just now, the herald came to pass the commander's order, saying that rumors should not be spread or believed, otherwise they would have to be punished by military law! ”

Chen Baishui was not interested in Zhang Maocai's words at all, and when he finished speaking, he asked lukewarmly, "Aren't you going to keep vigil today?" What are you doing here? ”

"I saw Nangong Jin leading the troops to the north gate, this is, this is still going to fight?" Zhang Maocai lowered his voice and asked.

Chen Baishui sneered, "I don't know, you have to ask Nangong Jin." ”

Zhang Mao was anxious, "No, didn't you say that you would go to peace talks?" How has it changed? ”

"Do your own thing. Otherwise, the manager is responsible for everything anyway, and he just listens to him. Chen Baishui didn't mean to continue, waved his hand, and left by himself.

Zhang Maocai was stunned in the local area, thinking that he and he were already on the same line, but this time he came over to sell well, but also to give an attitude, if you want to fall, everyone will find a way to force Liang Lie together. I didn't expect that at this time, it was still a picture of ignoring and being high. Zhang Maocai was really unhappy in his heart.

As soon as he entered his yard, a person jumped out of the shadows, and Chen Baishui was really frightened.

"General Chen, you're finally back!" Lin Fei's voice was crying.

"What are you hiding here!" Chen Baishui was on fire.

"General Chen, I'm really going to die this time! Just now, the boss came to me and asked me for an account. Lin Fei said anxiously.

Chen Baishui was stunned, Liang Lie is not crazy, is he checking at this time? "What did you say?"

"I didn't say it. I told the old servant to go back, saying that I was too injured to move. Lin Fei cried with a sad face.

Chen Baishui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine." These days, you don't show your face, you should be injured and delirious. At this time, fighting to save your life is the right thing, who will urge you to pay the account. ”

"Isn't it, isn't it Nangong Jin who said something? This was the quartermaster he had received before that....... Lin Fei looked nervous.

"He must have said something. No matter what he said, he said it, and like this, I'm afraid the coach will also listen to him. Chen Baishui said hatefully.

"So, what to do?" Lin Fei was completely out of ideas.

"Afraid of what?! The Tartars haven't retreated, the monsters are still there, we don't have anything, fight again? Look how he fights! ”

"But, but ......." Seeing Chen Baishui's attitude, Lin Fei was anxious again.

"What else can it be, who doesn't live a day now! Go back quickly, don't let anyone find out. Chen Baishui went back to the room and ignored him.

How many days can Liang Lie hold on?! No matter how many days he defends until the city is broken, Chen Baishui is not very willing, the longer he defends, the easier it is to poke out the military affairs, unless the city is broken now.

To tell the truth, Chen Baishui didn't want to fight, let alone die, but Curry had no supplies for many years, and every year the materials and silver money allocated by the imperial court to the Acropolis were taken away by him and the previous general soldiers. Otherwise, with only such a small military salary, where can you build a house and buy a field in your hometown to support your family?

Although the former commander-in-chief was transferred and promoted him, Liang Lie was transferred. In fact, fighting for this general soldier, but I just don't want the East Window incident to happen, who will volunteer to be the chief soldier on the front line of Xuanda? It's a precarious errand at all. For more than half a year, Liang Lie didn't check anything, and thought he was an interesting person. It's been doing it for a long time, just looking for an opportunity. So, the Tartars must enter the city!

However, there is a problem here, and the peace talks themselves do not want to go. Especially now, the city gate is sealed, and it has to be taken from under the city wall, which is not used as a live target. The serious injury was an excuse, Chen Baishui looked at the injuries on his body. Although these injuries can't be seen to be serious, Feng Yue is not injured, and he is the one who is equivalent to his position, and he is a candidate for peace talks. However, he can't be allowed to take Nangong Jin. That madman is simply a supporter, not a person who is a defender, let alone a defender! Hmph, it's really not good, just find a chance to die!

**********

From Tianchengwei all the way to the south, even if it is a big road, it is full of barrenness. Since she set off, Yao Fangyu hadn't said anything, Xu Baoshen had found out earlier, but she was in no mood to coax her. Finally approaching sunset, Xu Baoshen smiled and said, "I haven't spoken all the way, I must be tired." Let's go a little further and see if there are any villages. ”

Yao Fangyu nodded, but still didn't speak.

Seeing her like this, Xu Baoshen felt like a hot face and a cold ass, not very happy, and even more reluctant to coax her, but said lukewarmly: "Women, don't think too much." There are people to eat, there are to live, and there are people who occasionally pamper them, which is very good. ”

Yao Fangyu was stunned, and when she looked up, she only saw the back of Xu Baoshen walking past her.

The two walked one after the other, and walked for a long time. Suddenly, Xu Baoshen stood still, reached out and pulled Yao Fangyu violently, and hid directly behind a boulder on the side of the road.

In a short time, a group of Tatar cavalry of about five or six hundred men came from the south to the north. Their speed was not fast, pulling several carts of grain and grass, a few of them were bold, and they also kidnapped a few women, holding them and sitting on their horses and rubbing them constantly. The women on the horse were disheveled, some screamed and resisted, and some were in tears, and their eyes showed death.

Yao Fangyu's body moved, and she was about to go out, but she was firmly held down by Xu Baoshen.

"Master?!" Yao Fangyu lowered her voice.

Xu Baoshen didn't let her continue, and shook her head.

But this terrible cry, the cry of despair, seemed to penetrate everything and hit the soul. Yao Fangyu couldn't bear it and tried to get rid of Xu Baoshen, but who knew that Xu Baoshen was pulling tighter.

"Let go, I'll save people!" Yao Fangyu said urgently.

Xu Baoshen frowned, thinking that she was too loud, hugged her in his arms and covered her mouth.

Yao Fangyu was startled, she didn't expect Xu Baoshen to have such a move, and struggled.

Xu Baoshen hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Don't make trouble, now is not the time to be a hero." ”

Yao Fangyu paused, and for some reason a wave of disgust rose in his heart, and he struggled even more.

Xu Baoshen was also angry, "Are you crazy?" Don't look at how many people there are? Rush out and die all here! ”

At this moment, Yao Fangyu stopped. The two of them hid behind the boulder for a long time, listening to the cries, shouts, and horses' hooves getting farther and farther away. Finally, after getting rid of Xu Baoshen and running out of the boulder, the team in front of him had already turned a corner and was out of sight.

Xu Baoshen stood up, patted the dust on his body, and glanced at Yao Fangyu's back, "Let's go." ”

Yao Fangyu turned around, looked at Xu Baoshen, and asked sadly, "Why?" ”

"What, why?" Xu Baoshen was a little impatient, "You didn't see that there were hundreds of them?" ”

"We don't have to beat them! We just need to save people! ”

"Save people, save people......." Xu Baoshen showed a contemptuous smile on his face, "A normal woman is bullied like this, even if she is saved, she will commit suicide." Use your brain more in everything, and don't risk your life to do useless work. Let's go. Whether she followed or not, strode south.

"You, never planned to return to Tianchengwei?" Yao Fangyu stood behind him, holding back his grief and indignation and asked loudly.

Xu Baoshen turned around, looked at her, and asked calmly, "Why should I go back?" ”

Yao Fangyu slowly stepped forward, stood in front of him, and asked softly, "You took me away because you were afraid that breaking the city would hurt me, right?" But why are we the only ones leaving? She seemed to want Xu Baoshen to give her a reason that she could accept.

Xu Bao sighed deeply and smiled helplessly, "I really don't know what you're thinking." ”

"Actually, we have known for a long time that the Tartars are attacking the city, but we have always lied to ourselves and stayed in the General Soldier's Mansion without a single step. You said stay and do what we could, but we left without doing anything. Even Nangong Jin stayed to guard the city ....... ”

"What? Do you like him now? Xu Baoshen laughed, "It's a pity that people have withdrawn from the marriage." ”

Yao Fangyu looked at Xu Baoshen and wanted to cry, "Master, you have taught me the righteousness of my family and country and the importance of the people since I was a child. Tianchengwei has tens of thousands of ....... ”

Xu Baoshen interrupted her and said angrily: "You also know that there are tens of thousands of Tianchengwei. Are you a god when I am? One trick in your sleeves, pretending to take everyone? ”

"At least you can take some people with you when you leave!"

"Take someone away? How did you come up with it? Who do you think you can take with you? How many people to take? Didn't you realize how big the Tatar barracks were that day? How dangerous? Don't you know that a single mistake can kill you?! Xu Bao said in a deep breath: "I usually protect you so much and spoil you too much!" ”

Yao Fangyu cried, "You didn't teach me that way since I was a child. Master, I have always looked up to you as an example of asking for people's lives and saving people from fire and water, and doing it when I know I can't do it......"

"When did I teach you to 'do what you know you can't do'? My life is gone, and I'm still a fart! Naive! Xu Bao flicked his sleeves and left.

Yao Fangyu stopped him and asked, "Are you naïve?" Everyone knows that Tianchengwei may break the city, why are we the only ones leaving?! ”

Xu Baoshen looked at her and suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, it's still Nangong Jin." How do you know he's not going to go? The second son is very hypocritical, but he is just selling his reputation, maybe he is gone now. ”

Yao Fangyu shook her head, "No." He said he wasn't leaving. ”

Xu Baoshen was even more unhappy, "When did that person become so tall in your mind?" Defend the city, hmph, it's just acting for you to show this stupid girl. If he really wants to break the city, he will definitely be the first to escape! Maybe he will kneel down and beg the Tartar to let him live...... ”

"No, he won't do that!"

"Oh, I know him very well, but it's a pity that he has withdrawn! How? Do you want Master to help you stand up to it? Xu Baoshen's tone was sarcastic.

Yao Fangyu took a deep breath, "You didn't plan to retreat, that's why you want to take me back to the South China Sea." ......, for 30,000 taels of silver? The last sentence was very light.

Xu Bao squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Don't you have to go back to the South China Sea alive or dead?" Oh, what a white-eyed wolf. You're right, I'm not going to retreat. If you want it for a while, or if you don't want it for a while, it's all up to their Nangong family? Listen, I'm not going to agree to quit. Either his family gives a full dowry, and you marry it; Either give him enough money to withdraw from the marriage, and I will let him Nangong Jin be free, otherwise, let him hang up, and he will not be able to marry a wife for the rest of his life. ”

Yao Fangyu stared at him for a long time and shook his head, "Master, I won't go back to the South China Sea with you." I'm going to Tianchengwei to help Uncle Liang defend the city. ”

Xu Baoshen laughed again, "Do you think I must need you to go back to the South China Sea?" It doesn't matter to me where you are, dead or alive. Even if he Nangong Jin dies, I will help you on his family tree. Anyway, Nangong Dingkang doesn't like you, I'm very relieved about this. ”

Yao Fangyu silently wept, her eyes full of disappointment. After Xu Baoshen finished speaking, he took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed three times, got up and walked the way he came.

And Xu Baoshen continued to go south with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.
