Yuan Chen saw Liu Zongmin coming towards her, she was very frightened, and was about to dodge, but when she saw Liu Zongmin's footsteps, she shook a few times, shook a few times, and fell to the ground.

Could it be that he was drunk? Yuan Chen was very surprised, and wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but he didn't dare to move his steps. can hesitate for a long time, but there is no movement from the other party. So she mustered up her courage, stepped forward slowly, bent down, and looked at the face that had once been so familiar.

But at this moment, Liu Zongmin suddenly grabbed her ankle violently, and with a slight force, Yuan Chen's slender ankle was as painful as if it had been broken, and he screamed in pain and fell to the ground on his back.

"Quick!" Liu Zongmin shouted bitterly, "Go and pass on the military doctor." ”

"What?" Yuan Chen sat up, looking at the other party's distorted face and the beads of sweat on his forehead, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Call the doctor!" Liu Zongmin shouted, "My chest is ......" Before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Yuan Chen only felt that the hand that was grabbing his ankle slowly relaxed. She reached under the other's nose with her fingers trembling, only to find that she was no longer breathing. She was taken aback, got up quickly, and ran out of the courtyard gate, but in a panic, she ran through several courtyards and returned to her residence. When An Ping saw her coming back, she smiled and said, "Miss, I went to prepare a meal just now and came back, but I don't know where you went." It seems that ......" As she spoke, she suddenly found that Yuan Chen was very panicked, and she also smiled, and hurriedly asked the reason. Yuan Chen stammered for a long time before he understood. An Ping was shocked, and hurriedly took her to find the doctor, and led the doctor back to the front hall. But it was too late, the doctor only pressed Liu Zongmin's neck with his hand, shook his head, and said, "Prepare for General Liu." Then he got up and took his leave.

After the doctor left, the people in the courtyard gradually increased, there were deputy generals, there were maids and maids, everyone was panicked, and the panic of the dragons without a leader spread infinitely in this courtyard. Yuan Chen stood stupidly in an inconspicuous corner, unable to say a word, she didn't expect such a troubled hero to die so simply, and even died without a last word.

In the crowd, Yuan Chen didn't see Duan Xuehong and Liu Ming, and he didn't know where he was going. Under An Ping's reminder, she avoided the busy people and returned to her courtyard. Locked the door of the courtyard gatehouse, sat at the table of the eight immortals, and sighed.

"Miss," said An Ping, "it seems that Ming is going to be even more thorough." If you're okay, go to bed early. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to burn my body. ”

"Hmm." Yuan Chen nodded, turned around and lay down on the bed. The bright moonlight shone on her face through the window lattice, and it seemed that Wu Ruojie's cold hand with a ring made her sleepy. After lying down for a long time, she sat up abruptly, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard.

The early summer nights are not as good as the day, and there is a slight chill. Seeing Yuan Chen walking out of the door, An Ping hurriedly grabbed her clothes and came forward, draped them on her body, and said, "Miss, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Yuan Chen turned around, looked at the yawning little girl, and said with a smile: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep first." I want to walk alone. ”

"How's that going to work, miss." An Ping endured sleepiness and said, "It's cold at night, don't get cold outdoors for a long time." What's more, the courtyard is quite deep, if you get lost, how can you be good? I'll stay with you. ”

Yuan Chen looked at the girl in front of him gratefully, and said with a smile: "I don't think the mansion will be stable today." Everyone should be busy with General Liu's funeral. Let's also go to see, if we can help share one or two, we can do our part, and finally live up to General Liu's grace of taking us in. Do you say? ”

"Yes, miss." After An Ping finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and went into the house to take out a lamp, opened the courtyard, led the way in front, and led Yuan Chen to the front hall.

Yuan Chen said so, but in fact, he had other ideas in his heart. She always felt that this Liu Zongmin died strangely, if she had a heart disease, she should have a doctor by her side for many years, how could she sit at the table alone and drink? If he died of his first illness, how could he have known before he died that something was wrong with his heart? Judging from his experience in the Force, Lau Zongmin's incident is very illogical in every aspect. So what's going on? We still need to investigate on the spot to find out a thing or two. With that in mind, she returned to the antechamber again.

As expected, the front hall was busy, and there was no sleepiness in the dead of night. Everyone is busy, but it seems that there is order and no longer panic. And Liu Zongmin's body has long been carried away, only a coffin is placed in the middle of the front hall, which is particularly conspicuous, thinking that Liu Zongmin's body should have been placed in the coffin.

"Miss." An Ping whispered beside him, "Look at the lamp over there, your palm is so high." ”

Yuan Chen followed the little girl's fingers, and sure enough, he set up a white lamp on the room, and there was a black official book on it - "Dian".

It's weird. Yuan Chen muttered in his heart. If it is as Liu Zongmin said, it is said that it is the name of the war, if the commander died before the war, how can it be so fanfare and publicity, wouldn't this boost the morale of the other party? Causing yourself to lose your backbone? But the lantern was hung so high that it could almost be seen on the hill outside the city, what if it was seen by the Ming army and attacked at night? Thinking of this, she asked An Ping: "How long has General Liu been stationed here?" ”

"It's been almost two months." An Ping said.

"How's the patrol at the head of the city?" Yuan Chen asked again.

"It is said that General Liu goes to the city every day to patrol the defense to ensure that nothing goes wrong." An Ping said.

"Oh." Yuan Chen nodded, and there was a hint of totality in his heart. If Liu Zongmin can't go to the city to patrol today, will there be any emergencies? Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a "boom" from the north city gate, which exploded a large area, and the spurting flames were almost half the sky.

"Ahh An Ping screamed in fright and hid behind Yuan Chen, trembling. Although Yuan Chen was also shocked, after all, he was used to seeing such an explosion scene, so he was not afraid, and after standing firm, he said, "It's broken." ”

"What's wrong?" An Ping poked her head out and asked.

Yuan Chen pursed his lips and whispered, "The Ming army has come to sneak attack." After speaking, he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the door of the house.

"Miss, miss." An Ping hurriedly called, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Go and order the defenders, desperately resist!" Yuan Chen said.

"You?" An Ping was stunned for a moment, and looked her up and down carefully, as if she didn't know her.

"What about me?" Yuan Chen wondered, "Isn't it possible for women to lead the army to fight?" ”

"But how dangerous it is." An Ping said, "There are other generals in the house." ”

"They have lost their manager, and now they have no leader, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect themselves." Yuan Chen said, "I have to go and see." As he spoke, he hurried to the door of the house.

When he came to the gate of Liu's mansion, he saw that a group of cavalry had already lined up, but as Yuan Chen said, due to the unclear intentions, the two generals actually quarreled. Yuan Chen listened attentively, and it turned out that one said that he would resist the enemy head-on to frustrate the enemy's spirit, while the other said that he would sneak attack the enemy from the side and take them by surprise. While they were arguing, they saw a cannon shell flying and exploded in the crowd, killing and wounding more than half of the cavalry. One of the generals was also wounded and fell off his horse. The other's eyes widened, and he waved the command flag fiercely, shouting, "Rush! As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed out. Seeing this, the remnants of the soldiers also hurriedly saddled their horses and galloped away.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen hurriedly dragged a horse and flew up to ride. Seeing this, An Ping shouted, "Miss, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to follow along." Yuan Chen said, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, the horse also galloped out.

With the bumps of the horse's running, Yuan Chen's heart also jumped. She was very nervous, because she imagined that she could escape from the city while there was chaos, and if she could, she wanted to go back to Jiangnan. She wanted to find Wu Ruojie and ask him if he still wanted her, if he was no longer interested in her, then she would find a stable place to live, and it would be much better than living so hard.

Yuan Chenren was light, thinking so, and soon caught up with the team. I saw that the general led everyone to rush towards the Ming soldiers who poured in from the northern city. In an instant, two groups of people fought together. Yuan Chen hurriedly dismounted and led the horse to a dark corner, while he hid behind a wall, crossed his feet and peeked secretly.

I saw that although Liu Zongmin's subordinates were brave and good at fighting, they could not resist the overwhelming impact of the Ming army, and most of them were killed and wounded after a while. A general led by the Ming army, wielding a large sword, glittered silver in the night sky, and killed several volunteers in the blink of an eye. Behind the general, there is a large banner with the word "Qiu" written on it. Yuan Chen didn't know who this person was. Maybe if Wu Ruojie is here, he will tell her who this person is and what the reason is.

The fierce battle in the north gate continued, although the rebel army had new troops from time to time to invest again, but because they were all small groups, they could not form forces, and after a while, they were broken one by one. Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that this Baoding Mansion will be slaughtered by the Ming army tonight. But just as she was thinking so, suddenly there was another cannon sound behind the Ming army, and then, the Ming army was crying loudly, and the situation seemed to have changed.

Yuan Chen was startled and hurriedly raised his eyes. I saw that outside the north city gate, a large group of soldiers seemed to rush in again. The leader of the generals didn't look very clear from a distance, but he only felt majestic. And on the big banner behind the general, there was a "Liu" character written by Douda.

Liu? Could it be Liu Zongmin's brother? Yuan Chen summed it up, put his hand on the pergola, and looked carefully. As the group of soldiers approached, Yuan Chen was shocked. The leader is someone else, it is Liu Zongmin!

This...... What the hell is going on? Yuan Chen panicked. Just now, I always felt that Liu Zongmin's death was strange, but I didn't expect it to be a fake death. I saw that not only is he not dead now, but he doesn't even have a trace of illness. The big knife in his hand flew up and down, and it slashed so that Ming Jun cried his father and called his mother, and he couldn't resist it.

Seeing this, the generals of the Ming army also hurriedly turned their horses' heads and attacked and slashed each other with the righteous army. But after all, the enemy behind him, and the righteous army still coming in front, were sandwiched on both sides, and the enemy was on the back and back, but in half an hour, the strength of the Ming army was reduced by eighty, and there was almost no combat ability.

"Phew! Liu Zongmin! The general of the Ming army slashed and shouted, "You villain, you actually cheated to death!" ”

"The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating!" Liu Zongmin had already stopped at this moment, only watching his subordinates slashing around the Ming army, stroking his beard and smiling, "If you hadn't stolen my secrets with the heart of a villain and attacked me overnight, what could I do to you?" After all, you brought it on yourself. ”

"I'm not convinced!" The general shouted, "If you dare, we'll fight alone!" ”

"Alone?" Liu Zongmin smiled, "How to fight alone?" ”

"It's you and me! Don't want anyone to help you! The general said.

"Good!" Liu Zongmin waved the big knife, and his subordinates all stopped, only to hear him say, "I want to have a one-on-one battle with General Qiu Ziluoqiu, and the others must not interfere, violators, behead!" As he spoke, he flicked his knife head and said to General Qiu Ziluo of the Ming army, "Come on!" ”

Seeing this, Qiu Ziluo almost had red eyes, raised his big knife, kicked the horse's belly violently, and rushed over.

I saw that Liu Zongmin was not in a hurry, facing the fierce enemy, but he stuck the big knife into the ground, pulled out a big bow from behind him at a very fast speed, and pulled out the strength of the bow and arrow, and with a "poof" sound, an arrow hit Qiu Ziluo's forehead. The arrow was so powerful that it almost pierced the skull, causing the corpse to fall under the horse with a "pop".

Yuan Chen's heart tightened and sighed. Indeed, this is also a heads-up. But this Liu Zongmin's unscrupulous heads-up is really terrifying. The horror is not the skill and strength of his archery, but the vicious heart that he deceives the enemy to go deeper.

The rest of the Ming army saw that the main general was dead, and they hurriedly knelt down and surrendered, but Liu Zongmin waved a big knife, and the righteous army was not allowed to surrender, and rushed up to slash and kill. After a while, the Ming army was killed. Then, Liu Zongmin smiled coldly, waved his hand again, and saw that the rebels had taken a group of people tied up with flowers. I only heard Liu Zongmin laugh and said, "This time you know the fate of betraying me, right?" As soon as the words fell, this group of people also fell to the ground.

Yuan Chen closed his eyes, not daring to look any further. But just as she closed her eyes, a familiar voice sounded beside her: "Such a wonderful scene, if you don't watch it at such a time, don't say that there will be no chance in the future." ”

Yuan Chen was startled, hurriedly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look. It turned out that it was Duan Xuehong who spoke.

"You ......" Yuan Chen was about to say something, but Duan Xuehong grabbed his shoulder and said, "Don't want to escape from General Liu's Five Finger Mountain!" As he spoke, he dragged him away from the low wall and in front of Liu Zongmin.

Seeing Yuan Chen being dragged in front of his eyes by Duan Xuehong, Liu Zongming was not surprised at all, but said with a smile: "I disturbed our woman who has captivated the country and the city just now. I apologize below. As he spoke, he hugged his fist towards Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen was stunned, but unexpectedly, Liu Zongmin only said to his subordinates: "Go home!" Then he passed her coldly, patted the horse and walked towards the house. This made Yuan Chen's heart empty, as if he had lost something.
