Gu Li looked up at her, her bright eyes flashing with sparkling gentle waves.

The two walked back, Yan Qing still pulled her sleeve and walked in front, while Gu Li followed behind.

At this time, thousands of lights are on, and every family gathers together to celebrate the New Year, waiting for the arrival of the New Year. Therefore, there were no other pedestrians on the street except for the two of them.

"We went home and ate dumplings, and it was the New Year." Gu Li said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, her voice fell, and suddenly she heard the earth-shattering sound of "knock-knock-" behind her.

Gu Li's heart froze, and he suddenly turned back to look.

I saw that the fire was rising in the direction of the city gate, and the earth-shattering noise was also heard from there.

She couldn't help but be nervous and scared, and in a hurry, she grabbed Yan Qing's hand tightly.

"What's going on?" Gu Li asked blankly, but there was obvious nervousness in her voice.

Yan Qing didn't reply, he was also looking in the direction of the city gate, his eyebrows were frowning, as if he was also thinking about what was going on.

However, in a matter of moments, before any of them could figure out what was happening, they heard another loud bang fall, and the thick and heavy gate was slammed open from the outside.

A large area of firelight lit up the sky, and with this firelight, dozens of people poured in. Some of them were on horses, some were running to the ground, and they all shouted with a terrible voice, and their faces were hideous.

Rao is Gu Li is sluggish, he should understand what is going on.

Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the New Year is coming soon, but their small border city has been broken by enemy troops.

However, Gu Li stood there stunned, unable to speak, unable to move, frightened and frightened, as if she had lost her soul.

Seeing that the city-breaking army was already rushing towards them, Yan Qing grabbed Gu Li's hand tightly and pulled her into a narrow alley next to her with a fierce force.

Gu Li was frightened, and just after hiding, he saw those broken city armies rushing through the alley like a mighty rolling dust and smoke, rushing towards the direction of the county office.

Gu Li was protected in the corner by Yan Qing, and her whole body was trembling with nervousness and fear.

She had never experienced the destruction of the city, but she could imagine that if the enemy broke the city, they would inevitably burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil.

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, it exploded in her head. What the hell is going on? How is this possible?

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, when everyone was celebrating the New Year, the enemy army suddenly attacked and broke the city without much effort.

Now that this city has been broken, how will they, the people in the city, live in the future?

"What to do? What are we going to do? Gu Li's voice was trembling.

She had never experienced anything like this, so she was naturally afraid. She tried desperately to calm herself down, but she couldn't.

Yan Qing pressed her against the corner, and his tall body densely protected her. Half of his body was almost pressed against her, his hot breath spilling over her head, and the steady sound of his heartbeat filled her ears.

However, at this moment, Gu Li didn't care about thinking about what she didn't have, she just wanted to know, what should be the next step?

Yan Qing stroked the top of her head, as if to comfort her nervous heart.

His calm voice sounded in her ears: "Don't be afraid, let's go home first." ”

Gu Li looked at him with a pair of confused eyes, go home? What's going on? The streets are full of enemies.

"Follow me." Yan Qing whispered again, took her hand, and left the corner where she was hiding.

Gu Li was still nervous at the moment, but after the initial panic, she had gradually calmed down and regained her sanity.

What's more, with him by her side, she believes that it will be fine.

Yan Qing pulled her, took a short detour, and narrowly avoided several groups of enemy troops, and then arrived home safely.

Gu Li watched him close the door and lock it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why was the city suddenly destroyed?" Gu Li was puzzled.

Although their small city is on the border of Nanyun and Gaochang, it is located in the southwest and is not a battlefield. In the past few years, whenever there has been a war, it will be fought on the north-western border. This is also the reason why she chose this small city when she fled in the first place.

Unexpectedly, they would become a battlefield here. Moreover, before the battle began, the city was broken.

Yan Qing pulled her into the house and poured a cup of hot tea into her hand.

"This place has never been used as a battlefield, the defense is weak, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, every household is celebrating the New Year, and the soldiers defending the city are not fully guarded, so under the deliberate attack of Gao Changguo, it can be broken without much effort." Yan Qing said what he had figured out.

Gu Li took a sip of hot tea and raised his eyes to look at him: "What about us?" Do you want to get out of here as soon as possible? ”

She loved the place and didn't want to move. However, the current situation is definitely not something she can choose. She felt that after the soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom occupied the city, there was a good chance that they would burn, kill, loot, and abuse the people in the city. At the moment of life and death, she is just an ordinary person, she also wants to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and live well.

What's more, her longing, her happiness has just begun, and she doesn't want it to end so soon.

Yan Qing smiled at her and gave her a reassuring look.

"Let's wait and see what happens."

"What if the Gaochang people want to kill us all?" Gu Li asked worriedly.

Yan Qing smiled again and shook his head: "No." ”

Gaochang people, no.

"How do you know?" Gu Li asked again.

Yan Qing didn't explain, just looked at her with deep eyes, and said three words to her: "Trust me." ”

These three words, as if giving Gu Li great courage, made her stare at his calm and calm face and nodded.

He told her to believe him, and she did.

After comforting Gu Li, Yan Qing went to the stove room and boiled the dumplings that had been wrapped a long time ago.

The dumplings are cooked, and they are full and round, exquisitely clear.

The steaming dumplings were brought to Gu Li, and she stared thoughtfully.

This is Yan Qing's first time making dumplings, and he has never done it before.
