Shang Guyuan had to smile bitterly and say yes: Yes, Helian Qi attacked and captured the Missing Moon Pool; Yes, the war in Shuobei is chaotic, and the people are displaced; Yes, Marshal Gu is ill and is seriously injured and in danger.

Gu Jin and Leng Shan have been walking for more than three days, and it is time to arrive at Beijiang City.

"What are you going to do!"

Shang Guyuan turned his head sideways, but saw that Lu Guitang had already gotten up and put on his clothes.

He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Guitang, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Your Highness used to force internal injuries, and now you should have a good rest, but now you have to run to Shuobei regardless of the injury?" ”

Lu Guitang looked at him silently, and his voice was cold: "The land of Shuobei is full of war, how can I let Jin Jing be in danger alone, I swore that I would not put her in danger again." ”

Shang Guyuan only felt that his head was too big, and he couldn't resist Lu Guitang's strength, so he had to let go of him, but he refused to compromise in words: "I can't stop Your Highness if you insist on going, but what about the soldiers of Dingzhou City?" The matter of the mountain bandits is still inconclusive, and the matter of Hui Jinghe is also delayed, including the history of the firewood thorn, the people of Dingzhou City regard you as the guardian saint of one party, you just walked away, can Miss Gu be happy if she knows. ”

Lu Guitang paused, and he listened to these words.

At this moment, the responsibility on his shoulders and the love in his heart have become the fulcrum that is difficult to balance in Lu Guitang's heart, Shang Guyuan is right, even if there are no bandits in Dingzhou City now, if he leaves, the people will be in panic. But if he doesn't leave, how can he see Gu Jin and his family in Shuobei?

He once put Gu Jin in danger once for the people of Dingzhou City, and he didn't want to encounter such a thing for the second time in his life.

Just as Lu Guitang made up his mind to leave Dingzhou, he bumped into Chen Hu who rushed in.

Chen Hu's face was originally here to find the old abyss of business, and he was overjoyed when he saw that Lu Guitang had woken up, but he looked so anxious that he didn't even have time to say words of concern, so he opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness is awake!" Your Highness, the brothers at the sentry post have noticed that something is different outside the city, so go and see if you are in your humble position! ”

Lu Guitang and Shang Guyuan glanced at each other, both of them frowned, seeing that the matter was urgent, Lu Guitang pursed his lips and said okay.

The two followed Chen Hu out of the school field all the way and entered the barracks on the top of the mountain, but they saw that a lot of people had gathered here, Wang Yancai, Chen Wei and others were there, and even Hui Jinghe was also on the side.

Lu Guitang approached, "What's wrong?" ”

When several people saw that it was Lu Guitang, their faces showed joy, but Wang Yancai didn't care about saluting, and stretched out his hand to greet Lu Guitang over.

"Your Highness, come and see, are these cubs coming for us?"

The soldiers surrounding the edge of the cliff instantly got out of the way, leaving a line of sight for Lu Guitang and Shang Guyuan, and the two of them approached to see, and then they knew why Wang Yancai and the others were in such a hurry:

Outside the city of Dingzhou, on the official road, a group of people and horses are rushing to the city gate, and everyone is wearing stubbornness, riding a high-headed horse, the momentum is huge, and the grandeur is domineering.

Let's look at the number...... Tens of thousands.

After looking at it carefully for a while, it was not until he vaguely saw the armor on the person who came that Lu Guitang's brows furrowed again.

"A-Yuan, a thousand miles away."

Shang Guyuan will know, take out a thing from his arms, this thing bamboo tube shape, a twist but elongated, called Qianliwang, can be used to observe things in the distance.

Lu Guitang looked at it for a while, and then his heart was half cold.

He withdrew his hand, looked around for a while, and then handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Hui Jinghe, and a light smile came out of the corner of his mouth: "General Hui Xiao, take a look, it's your old friend." ”

Hui Jinghe was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took Qianliwang over to look at the pair of people and horses, and then was shocked.

What an old friend.

Yuan Changxin.

On this day, Yuan Changxin regained the power of the army, led an army of 50,000 to attack the city of Dingzhou for half a day, and Lu Guitang led the troops to guard the city gate, and did his best to protect the safety of the people of Dingzhou City.

Everyone understands in their hearts that this city is unbreakable, and after Dingzhou City is Shuobei, the people have nowhere to flee for their lives, so they have to defend the city together, and this time they will either rely on the 50,000 troops in the city to fight against Yuan Changxin, or the city gate will be broken and destroyed.

Lu Guitang came down from the city wall, rested slightly against the pillar, and Shang Guyuan came with Hui Jinghe.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all knew what each other was thinking:

Lu Chengxiu, doing the business of recruiting troops and buying horses, gathered 50,000 troops to attack Dingzhou City, the purpose was very simple - to kill Lu Guitang in front of the battle.

At this time, the war in Shuobei was chaotic, Gu Jiangyuan was seriously injured and his life and death were uncertain, even if the Gu family occupied the line of Lu Guitang, there was no time to be distracted at this time, and none of the 100,000 soldiers in Shuobei had the spare strength to help Lu Guitang.

If these 50,000 troops are pressed tightly, it is very likely to capture Dingzhou City.

Several people were silent for a while, and then Hui Jinghe spoke: "Your Highness, I have worked with Yuan Changxin for many years, and I know this person's temperament, and I ask Your Highness to allow this battle to defend the city, and the humble position will be the vanguard!" ”

Hui Jinghe knelt on one knee, with hatred hidden in his eyes.

Yuan Changxin was able to regain military power today, and he didn't have to guess to know that it was the benefit of Ning Guogong and King Shu, they abandoned Hui Jinghe that day, but today they found Yuan Changxin again, and his former best friend was about to turn against him, and the play was very exciting.

Lu Guitang squinted his eyes at him, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he reached out to help him.

"Lead the troops well, if I can't hold it, I will have to hand over my life."

As soon as these words came out, Hui Jinghe and Shang Guyuan were stunned, and even Hui Jinghe himself knew how inseparable he and Yuan Changxin were in the past. Could it be that he had just reached the city wall and ordered someone to open the city gate?

Hui Jinghe thought that it would be difficult for Lu Guitang to agree to this matter, but when he saw the man's comfortable smile, he was stunned.

The person in front of him, who is full of glory and wealth, enjoys the first honor in the world, seems to be a loose body, but has the most rare heart.

Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people.

Hui Jinghe remembered that when he was in the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Guitang urgently urged the internal force to save him, and his heart was even more moved, what is the master, but those who can take care of the life and death of the people in the world are also those who can trust the enemy.

Lu Guitang handed over the responsibility of guarding the city to him, and said that if he couldn't keep it, he would exchange his life for the life of the people of the entire Dingzhou City.

Hui Jinghe hugged his fists at Lu Guitang, and his face was hearty: "With His Royal Highness's trust, he will definitely die in his humble position!" ”

He turned around and took the order, but suddenly heard Lu Guitang's voice passing through behind him: "Don't die, live." ”

After Hui Jinghe left, Shang Guyuan looked at Lu Guitang with a wry smile and said another thing: "I just went to the tent where Huang Hao lived and found that he was gone. ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, the war is terrifying, and Huang Hao may have escaped.

Lu Guitang smiled faintly, and was about to say that it was okay to run away and save his life, but he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him.

The two looked back and saw Huang Hao leading tens of thousands of mountain bandits over, and they were smiling and waving at him: "Your Highness, I have brought my brothers to help Your Highness defend the city!" ”
