Chapter 2: The Siege
Lin Fei was brought to the city wall of Tianqing Mansion by several military men, many people were carrying the rolling wood and thunder stones, and there was a huge pot on the city wall every few meters, and there was a chopped firewood under the pot, and there was a foul smell wafting from the pot, and Lin Fei knew what was in it without thinking about it.

One of the leading soldiers walked straight to a sturdy soldier in black armor in front of him, and after a few words, the man waved at the person behind him. Lin Fei knew that this was to ask the two of them to come over, so he didn't wait for urging, and quickly greeted him.
The person in front of him is a man with a one-sided face, with a resolute face, and he is a ruthless character at first glance. "Who are you? Where did you come to know the Lord? Why are you here? ”
Lin Fei said truthfully: "I was entrusted by someone to come to ask Commander Han for help in the middle of the month, and we met in Xiao Qinhuai at that time. It was also on that day that we were attacked by an unknown enemy, when the commander of Han jumped into the water and fled, after falling into the water as well, he was rescued by a benefactor, and went to Sinan Mansion with the merchant ship, and now a few days ago I heard the news that Tianqing Mansion was besieged, and I hurried to come here by boat. ”
The square-faced man looked Lin Fei up and down, and suddenly said, "You come with me." ”
After saying that, the man walked down to the city, Lin Fei turned his head and said to the middle-aged man who was guarding him: "Ah Da, you wait here, I'll go back when I go." ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, if they really want to be bad for me, can you still protect me alone?"
Lin Fei followed the square-faced man in front of him, he was sure in his heart that this person would not do anything to him. In his previous life, he still had the ability to observe people, and if he really wanted to kill him, he didn't have to be so troublesome at all, just cut him with a knife. After a simple conversation, Lin Fei could even be sure that maybe Han Qi was not dead at all, but if he was not dead, why would Tianqing Mansion be so can't help fighting? With so many questions in his heart, Lin Fei followed the square-faced man in front of him and walked into a nearby mansion under the city wall.
The two came to one of the vacant rooms, sat down among the square-faced men, and motioned for Lin Fei to sit down beside him. "I am the infantry commander of Tianqing Mansion, Fang Kui, what do you call the little brother?"
Lin Fei hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Lin Fei, I rummaged through Commander Han before, and I was entrusted by the Peak Lord of Baiyan Peak to come to Commander Han for help. ”
Originally, Lin Fei thought that the Fang Kui Dutong in front of him would express a little surprise, but he didn't expect that the face of the man in front of him was as usual at this time, and there was not even any change in expression on his face.
"When you talked about Xiao Qinhuai, I guessed where you came from. In the attack half a month ago, the Commander had already made arrangements, and the families of the mutineers had all been executed. ”
"Then can you take me to meet Commander Han, I need to meet Commander Chen if I have something to say." Knowing that Han Qi was still alive, Lin Fei suddenly felt a lot more settled in his heart. But Fang Kui's next words made him fall into distress.
"Commander Han is not in the city, if the commander is in the city, even if there are a few rebels in my Tianqing Mansion, it will not be so difficult to defend the city."
"Commander Han is not in the city? So where is he? ”
Fang Kui glanced at Lin Fei with a silent face: "Then I have to ask you, what did you say about the Lord Commander half a month ago?" ”
Lin Fei said abruptly: "You mean, Commander Han is now in the White Rock Peak?" ”
"Half a month ago, after the commander was injured, he returned to the mansion to recuperate for two days, and then he lit up more than 1,000 people and went straight to Baiyan Peak, and just a few days after the commander left, Qinglong Mountain suddenly poured out nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. At the same time, not long after they besieged the city, one of the commanders in the palace led the army to mutiny, and if it was not for the timely response, I was afraid that the city would have been broken. ”
Qinglong Mountain, nearly 10,000 people, mutiny, and other keywords made Lin Fei's mind involuntarily gather a resolute face. Since the time crossing, Lin Fei has left him with indelible memories. Let him know himself more clearly, and at the same time recognize the era he lives in.
"You're talking about Qinglong Mountain?" Lin Fei said suspiciously: "As far as I know, there are only a few thousand people in Qinglong Mountain, how can it be possible to conjure up nearly 10,000 horses at once?" ”
Fang Kui sneered: "You don't have to think about it to know that you have the support of external forces, otherwise you wouldn't dare to come to my Tianqing Mansion to spread wildness if you give him the guts." ”
"Then does Commander Han know about this? Looking at it from below, there are only a few thousand soldiers available in the city, so why not organize the people to defend the city together? Lin Fei said puzzled.
"The little brother doesn't know that most of the people in this city are tenants of those rich families, and it is not easy to drive them, and these rich families have their own intertwined relationships. Moreover, after all, civilians are poor people who have never seen blood, and there is not much difference between having and not killing. Fang Kui's words changed, and he suddenly said: "The important thing now is to contact the commander, if he can return, first of all, it will be a huge boost in morale, and the more than 1,000 people and horses that Lord Han took away, that is a long-fought soldier, if there are more than 1,000 people and horses to join, even if it is another year and a half, it will not be a problem." ”
Lin Fei was silent, saying this, he had already heard what this Lord Dutong meant, it was nothing more than wanting him to go to Han Qi. But you don't have to think about it to know that this is a life-and-death errand, you must know that if it was easy to do, they would have sent someone to do it a long time ago, and there would be no Fang Kui's words just now.
After just a little hesitation, Lin Fei said: "So I am willing to go this way, go to Baiyan Peak, and inform Lord Han of the situation in Tianqing Mansion at this time." ”
Fang Kui stood up violently, walked in front of Lin Fei with a solemn face, and suddenly grabbed his shoulders with both hands and said gratefully: "Young man, I admire the courage of my old man." Whether this matter is successful or not, it is my old party who owes my brother a favor, please accept my worship. ”
Lin Fei grabbed Fang Kui and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, Han Commander is the leader of Bo Yuntian, and the kid is just Dong Shi's imitation." ”
"Little brother, don't be too humble, I don't think I will say that you know, I'm not afraid to tell you, I've already sent three batches of scouts to go forward, and they all have gone and never returned. After all, this matter is a matter of life and death, little brother should think about it again, I will never be strong. ”
Damn, I've never seen such hypocrisy, if you don't want Lao Tzu to go, why don't you say it? It is said that the ancients were honest and straightforward, but what Lao Tzu encountered was human spirit.
Lin Fei sighed secretly, and said in a resolute tone: "The kid has made up his mind, and I hope that the master of the capital will be fulfilled." ”
"Okay, okay, you wait here for a while, and I'll arrange to send you out of the city." After saying that, Fang Kui turned around and wanted to leave, but at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a bloodstained soldier slammed the door and entered.
"Lord Fang, it's not good, the bandits have already organized an attack. The attack on the front was fierce, and the brothers suffered heavy losses. ”
Fang Kui asked anxiously, "Has the city defense already failed?" ”
"Not really, but ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it for too long. ”
Hearing this, Fang Kui violently pushed the injured soldier in front of the door open, and the whole person rushed out quickly. After Lin Fei helped the injured man up, he also quickly followed.
As soon as he left the small courtyard, a strong smell of blood wafted in front of him, which was of course mixed with other smells, but at this time, Lin Fei had no time to distinguish it. He walked briskly towards the city wall, and the more he looked up, the more corpses he could see, the entire aisle of the city wall was already filled, and the enemies who had set up the ladder outside the wall had already climbed up one by one. The defenders on the city wall, while dodging the flying arrows and throwing down the rolling wood and thunder stones, the swords in their hands, like the scythe of death, as long as they saw the enemy emerging from outside the wall, they did not hesitate to swing the sword, and the heads rolled down, the scene was like hell on earth.
Fang Dutong, who was still calculating him a moment ago, has entered a state of madness at this time, fighting to the death with the enemy who has climbed the city wall. It wasn't just the armor on his body that was stained red with blood, but also the slightly dark face.
With such a scene, Lin Fei seemed a little overwhelmed, he didn't know what he should do at this time. Just when he was stunned, a person suddenly came out from the side, Lin Fei reflexively grabbed the long knife on the side casually, and slashed it without thinking about it. The man's reaction was also fast enough, without any hesitation, and he turned sideways, which was able to dodge the fatal knife.
"Mr. Lin, I'm Ah Da." The man said loudly after withdrawing a foot away.
Lin Fei dropped the long knife in his hand after seeing the person who came, took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I almost hurt you." ”
"It's the villain's lack of protection that makes adults so frightened." Ah Da walked quickly to Lin Fei's side, and continued: "This place is not suitable for a long time, judging from the observation of the villain just in front of him, the city will be broken only in the evening, so it is better for us to leave as soon as possible." ”
"Leave, how to leave? Can't we go back the way we came? ”
"Sir, when I turned it over, Lord Yang had already said that if you can't do anything, you should take keeping Mr. Yang thoughtful as the first priority."
Lin Fei, who has always spared his life, doesn't know the danger here, but even if it is dangerous, he can't just go. He needs to go back to Baiyan Peak, he hasn't finished what Long Ao has explained, and there is still a master and that cold girl in that place. Thinking of this, Lin Fei couldn't just take care of himself and run for his life no matter what.
"I can't leave yet, I don't want to do it. You can go back and tell Lord Yang first, I, Lin Fei, will complete this matter even if I go to the soup, otherwise how can I be right to rely on Lord Yang's trust. ”
Ah Da was moved and said: "Mr. is loyal and courageous, my Ah Da is just a reckless, please Mr. do not give up, allow the villain to guard his side, but if the villain has a breath, never let anyone hurt Mr. at all." ”
People change their words for sincerity, but at this time, Lin Fei felt extremely emotional in his heart, and he could feel the sincerity in the eyes of the five big and three rough men in front of him. Lin Fei, who was a little ashamed in his heart, said with the same emotion: "From today on, if the eldest brother sees me, he will call me brother, and you must not call me Mr. anymore, so it seems to be raw." ”
"No, Mr. Lin is the guest of honor, and my grandfather is just ......"
"Then please go back, I, Lin Fei, are begging for brothers who share life and death, not sympathetic mercy."
"Brother...... Junior! ”
"Big brother!"
"Boom ......"
There was a loud bang, and the whole earth felt tremble. Lin Fei secretly screamed in his heart, it is estimated that according to this situation, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold out before dark.
