Wang Wu's injuries were not serious.

It's just that the long hours of hard work and excessive blood loss have made him extremely weak. With the help of Zhuzhu, Ye Haotian woke up after pouring him a few sips of water and feeding him two pills that were good for qi and blood replenishment.

When he opened his eyes, when he saw that the person in front of him was Ye Haotian, Wang Wu suddenly grabbed his arm and said eagerly in a hoarse voice: "Ye Gongzi, quickly, quickly inform the city lord, the demon army, there is a demon army!"

Seeing the look of horror in Wang Wu's eyes, Ye Haotian was stunned, and he didn't understand what he meant for a while.

Since the loss of the human border defense line two years ago, demon squads have often appeared in the desert. Ye Haotian arrived in Quicksand City a year ago, and he also assisted Xu Heihu in killing the demon army. Compared with the panic of the siege of the demon army at the beginning, the city defense army and the residents of the city seem to have become accustomed to the presence of the demon army, according to several veterans who know a little about military tactics, the location of quicksand city is remote, the surrounding area is desolate, and there is almost no role in strategy, the demons may send a small group of scouts to inquire about intelligence nearby, but they will never send a large army to attack the city, and the facts have proved that the inference of these veterans is correct.

In these days when Ye Haotian practiced ** outfit behind closed doors, Wang Wu was ordered to take his brothers in the army to search for the whereabouts of the Wolf King Gang in the wasteland every day, and for this largest gang of horse thieves outside the quicksand city, Xu Heihu had already made up his mind to eradicate it no matter how much it took, in order to avenge the dead brother as soon as possible, Wang Wu took more than 20 brothers into the desert yesterday morning, and did not return to the city until the evening.

When Ye Haotian went out of the city in the morning, he still felt a little regretful that he couldn't drink a glass of wine with Wang Wu, and he didn't expect that the two would meet together halfway, but the way they met was a little unexpected.

"What's going on? What a demon army, you say slowly. Ye Haotian wiped the blood stains on Wang Wu's face and said.

"It's the demon army, at least two thousand people, who are killing in the direction of Quicksand City, quickly, quickly return to the city to report to the city lord, and enter the most urgent state of combat readiness, they are thirty miles away, and they will be killed in two hours at most. Wang Wu grabbed Ye Haotian's arm tightly, his face full of horror.

"Wouldn't it?" Ye Haotian's face changed, "Demon army?

"No, there will never be a mistake! The dozen or so brothers I brought were all killed by their scouts, I escaped by luck, Ye Gongzi, hurry, return to the city quickly, and these caravans, let them stop going south, turn around immediately, it will be too late." ”

"How could the demon army come to Quicksand City?" Ye Haotian still couldn't believe it, "Have you seen their military banner clearly? Which empire's army is it?"

"Which empire doesn't know, it's a blood-dripping skull pattern painted on it, and the flag has the word 'Zichuan' written on it......"

"What?"

Ye Haotian and Zhu Zhu let out an exclamation at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw unbelievable looks on each other's faces.

At this moment, the sky in the distance suddenly darkened, and a gray-brown earthen wall faintly appeared on the undulating horizon. The earthen wall grew taller and taller, and soon spread to the sky and joined the drifting clouds, forming a gray waterfall of dust falling from the sky. Ye Haotian's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fell into the dust waterfall from top to bottom, in the depths of his pupils, there was a dark red light flashing, every time it flashed, the scene in the dust waterfall would be clear, because the distance was too far, even if he raised the two talents of concentration and knowledge to the extreme, he could not see the scene in the dust waterfall clearly, but the blood-colored aura hidden in it entered his soul in a special way.

"It's them, the Blood Skull Legion of the Zichuan Family. ”

Ye Haotian said in a dry voice.

"What should I do then?" Zhu Zhu looked at Ye Haotian, her little face became a little pale due to too much surprise, but the look in her azure eyes was a little complicated.

Ye Haotian looked at Zhuzhu's eyes, instantly understood what she meant, frowned, and said: "Zichuan Fengyun's army is fierce and brutal, this is a group of real devils, no matter where they go, they will slaughter the city and never leave a mouth alive. Looking at the direction of their march, the target should be Quicksand City, although I don't know what the reason is, but I can't watch Xu Heihu and them die like this...... Resistance is useless, and it is always too late to inform the people of the city to flee. What do you say?"

Zhuzhu bit her lip tightly and didn't say a word.

Ye Haotian was a little anxious, he glanced at the weak Wang Wu on the ground, and said, "I know what you're worried about, I promise, we will leave as soon as we finish delivering the letter after entering the city, and we will leave from the north gate, this will be okay, right?"

Seeing that Zhuzhu still didn't speak, Ye Haotian took her little hand and said softly: "Don't forget, Su Ning'er is still sleeping on the second sister's bed, you told me that you liked her from the first time you saw her, didn't you make an appointment with her last night and go to Rongshan City to see her in the future......?"

"Listen to you. ”

Zhuzhu suddenly interrupted Ye Haotian, bit her lip, and said, "Go back to the city." ”

......

......

Compared with going out of the city, Ye Haotian's speed of returning to the city has increased tenfold.

In order to inform Xu Heihu as soon as possible, he threw the carriage to Wang Wu, and Zhuzhu and Zhu Zhu ran in the direction of Quicksand City as if they were crazy.

Along the way, whenever he met a caravan of tourists leaving the city, he shouted loudly the news that the demon army was about to besiege the city, and when he returned to the city, his voice was hoarse like a bundle of rotten wood in his throat.

Xu Heihu was half lying on the chair in the study, still immersed in the sadness of Ye Haotian's departure, when the door of the study was suddenly knocked open, he thought he was dreaming, until Ye Haotian slapped him in the face, and he woke up from the trance.

"Are you sure?"

After understanding the reason for Ye Haotian's return, Xu Heihu's face also changed.

"If I'm not sure, can I come back?"

Ye Haotian wiped the dust and sweat on his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, let the people in the city evacuate quickly, it's too late, it's the Blood Skeleton Legion, they will slaughter the city, you can't stop it at all, there is only one way to abandon the city, there is no time, you hurry up, Zhuzhu went to Second Sister Su, I will go to her, you quickly notify the people in the city, escape, flee quickly." ”

After speaking, Ye Haotian turned around and left, but when he was about to step out of the door, he stopped again, he turned his head to look at Xu Heihu, who was standing motionless in place, and said hurriedly: "Go, what are you still doing in a daze!"

Xu Heihu stood there as if he was frightened, and was stunned when he heard Ye Haotian's shout, then opened his mouth and smiled.

"You go, I'll stay. ”

"What?" Ye Haotian thought he had misheard, "You stay?" That's Zichuan Fengyun's army, the devil's army of the demon army that specializes in slaughtering the city, do you want to stay and die? Don't you even believe my words?"

"Nope. ”

For some reason, Xu Heihu's expression suddenly became extremely calm, just like his voice at the moment, "It's because I believe in you that I stay." ”

Ye Haotian raised his eyebrows, looked at him with the same eyes as if he had met Xu Heihu for the first time, and before he could speak, Xu Heihu said again: "Don't forget one thing, I am a soldier of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it is my duty to defend Quicksand City." Even if you want to withdraw, I have to stay at the end, you said that Zichuan Fengyun's army will arrive in one hour, this time is not enough for the people in the city to evacuate, take a step back and say, even if they can get out of the city, in the vast wasteland, without the protection of the city wall, what do you think they will face?"

"So...... I want to stay, even if I die in this land, I can't be sorry for the ancestors of the Xu family, for the people in the city, for the territory of Great Xia, even if the horse leather shrouds the body and sheds the last drop of blood, I have no regrets. ”
