"Thank you, Princess. She woke up and sent someone to talk to her son. As he spoke, he stood up, and at this time he should go back to the base camp. But the footsteps of the young prince did not move, and he still looked in the direction of the room with concern.

"Don't worry, Xiaoya will be fine." Princess Pi reassured the prince again.

"Erchen is gone, mother, you let Xiaoxi tidy up the room for you, and rest early. Don't get tired. Although Xu Shizi was worried about Shen Yafei, he didn't want Princess Fei to be too tired.

"Good. The concubine knows how to do it, you have to be careful outside. Princess Fei watched the figure of Xu Shizi disappear at the gate of the courtyard, and turned around for a long time.

"Is the princess alright?" King Ning asked when he saw Xu Shizi returning to the base camp.

"It's fine." Xu Shizi's appearance was obviously reluctant to say more.

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Mingshan were on the side, looking at Xu Shizi tightly, hoping that Xu Shizi would say a little more, and they had reached to understand Shen Yafei's current situation. Obviously, King Ning was also dissatisfied with this answer like them, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Xu Shizi.

"What are we going to do later? Is there any arrangement below? Xu Shizi didn't want to discuss Shen Yafei's situation in front of outsiders, and besides, he was still struggling with the fact that he didn't personally send Shen Yafei back to his home. He felt that he didn't send Shen Yafei back in person, so he let Shen Yafei be attacked. He has always felt guilty for not protecting Shen Yafei well.

"There's no news yet, so let's continue patrolling as before. By the way, did you find the person who attacked the princess? King Ning asked with concern.

"Not yet." Xu Shizi replied lightly, obviously not wanting to say more about it.

"Why don't you go back and accompany the princess?" King Ning said considerately.

"No need." Xu Shizi raised his eyes and glanced at King Ning, and said, "The most important thing now is to fight against the medicine man of the poisonous Yan Valley, Xiaoya is an empathetic girl, she knows that only by expelling the enemy from the capital can this Shizi have more time to accompany her, and she will be considerate of this Shizi." ”

Xu Shizi stated this matter in righteous words, and King Ning and the others sounded as if they were being taught, and King Ning felt that he was bored with himself, so he obediently closed his mouth.

Xu Shizi and the others briefly discussed the next inspection arrangements, and everyone began to stick to their posts. The moon moved slowly from the night sky, moving a small semicircle, and just when everyone thought that the enemy would not attack, the soldiers stationed at the city gate saw a wisp of signal smoke rising from the outskirts of the city wall. The soldiers defending the city immediately sent people down the city wall to inform Xu Shizi and King Ning and others.

"General He, General Yang, you go to your posts and guard them. General Shen and Xu Shizi, you and this king went over to deal with them. King Ning immediately got up from his chair, and while commanding, he went to get his weapon, and after saying this, he had already arrived at the door of the tent.

"Yes!" The rest were also ordered to take up their weapons.

"Where did the signal smoke come from?" Xu Shizi and King Ning climbed onto the city wall, looked outside the city wall, and asked.

"It's over there." The soldier pointed to the side of a hill directly ahead.

Xu Shizi and King Ning looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a spruce tree, green and green, very beautiful, and it was also the best growing and most prominent piece on this mountain. But there was no movement there, and the spruce trees stood there quietly, like solemn soldiers.

Xu Shizi's eyes roamed around the spruce tree, but he didn't find anything unusual, and then he followed the spruce tree in the direction of the city wall, all the way to the city wall, and it was also quiet. The atmosphere was quiet, as if nothing had happened and as if nothing had happened. However, the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Xu Shizi's eyes narrowed, and his sharp gaze locked on the surroundings of the city wall.

"Do you know where the people we sent are now?" Xu Shizi looked at the quiet surroundings and felt very uneasy.

"I haven't come back yet." The soldier replied.

"Did you send someone out to meet them?" Xu Shizi asked again.

"Before you come with the prince, our people have already set out to look for them." The soldier answered truthfully.

When the prince heard that there was a return here, there was only one thing left to wait at this time, and he quietly clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes locked on the front.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Shizi and the others saw the rustling sound of the woods in front of them, as well as the sound of horses' hooves. Xu Shizi and the others immediately raised their eyes to look over there, only to see a few soldiers galloping towards this side on horseback, the reins had been pulled to the tightest, and the horses were whistling and galloping.

"Our people are back!" When one of the soldiers saw this, he pointed ahead and shouted loudly, and the faces of the crowd showed joy.

However, soon they could not laugh, because soon they noticed that the soldiers were followed by a large number of people, black and oppressive, like a whole dark cloud pressing towards this side.

The soldiers who were running ahead panicked, tightened their reins, and kept throwing their whips on the horses' buttocks, which roared and rushed forward.

"Hurry up and pick them up!" King Ning stared nervously ahead, then turned his head and ordered his subordinates.

"Yes!" The soldiers were ordered to go down with their men and guard the gates.

They opened a small window in the city gate and watched as their companions rushed towards them, the closer the sound of horses' hooves came to them, the more nervous they became. Two men watched from the small window, twenty or so men holding on to the latch of the door, while the others stood on either side, clenching the hilt of their swords tightly, their eyes fixed on the gate.

At this time, outside the city gate, soldiers on horseback were rushing this way, and the people behind them were in hot pursuit, and they were getting more and more excited. Soon, Xu Shizi and the others discovered that there was something unusual about those people. The wicked people seemed to have no consciousness, and their eyes were shining after the soldiers. Seeing that the other party was chasing closer and closer, looking at the speed, I was afraid that these soldiers would not be able to enter the city, Xu Shizi and the others couldn't help but sweat for the soldiers.

"What should I do?" Xu Shizi suddenly turned his head and asked King Ning.

"Looks like there's no way to open the gates and let them in." King Ning's eyebrows tightened, and soon he turned his head and instructed Ning Kang, "Hurry up and let someone come over with a ladder and put it down." ”

"But..." But if you put the ladder, the enemy will also send it along the ladder, Shen Yuanshan, who was standing on the side, showed hesitation.

"There's no other way. But this king can't give up his comrades! "King Ning has made up his mind.

"It's too dangerous to put a ladder, let's put a rope instead, right?" Xu Shizi stopped Ning Kang with one hand.

Ning Kang stopped and looked at King Ning. King Ning squinted his eyes and nodded at him.

Ning Kang asked people to bring the rope over, and first tied the rope into a dozen knots. Then, let a few soldiers grab the top of the rope and slowly lower the rope, a total of twelve ladders. The soldiers outside were still more than 1,200 meters away from the city wall, and the enemy was only about 300 meters away from them, which was actually only within reach, and the distance between the two sides seemed to be shrinking.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw that a rope had fallen from it, they immediately closed the small window and showed their weapons to the city gate.

"You'd better hurry." Yan Lijun gritted his teeth nervously, and his breathing fell to the ground with the sound of the horse's hooves, and he wished that he could fly over to help them.

The soldiers and horses came to the wall, and the enemy was about fifty paces behind the soldiers.

"Hurry up!" Ning Kang shouted downward.

The soldiers almost flew from their horses towards the rope of the wall, and as soon as they grabbed the rope, they climbed up with all their might, and the soldiers above also pulled it. However, if both sides were to exert their efforts, it was not as simple as expected, and soon two ropes were pulled by the enemy below.

The enemy seemed to have innate powers, and they were able to pull a few soldiers on the other end of the rope to the point where they almost fell off it. Seeing this, Xu Shizi, King Ning and others immediately went over to help pull it, which prevented the soldiers on the city wall from being pulled down from the city wall by the other party. When the other soldiers saw this, they immediately followed suit and went over to help. The soldiers had just scratched their palms when the rope was pulled by the enemy, but they still clung to the rope.

Three of the ten soldiers who had not been hindered by the enemy had come up smoothly, and everyone immediately tasted the feeling of joy. After the soldiers pulled their comrades up, they also gathered the ropes and threw them into the city wall, and then went to help the other soldiers.

At this time, the enemy below climbed towards the city wall, and unfortunately, five more soldiers were pulled by each other, and the soldiers above also held the rope firmly.

The other two soldiers were also chased by the enemy towards the rear and pulled down from the ropes. As soon as the enemy pulled them down, they tore their bodies, and some of the soldiers had their hands removed, and some of their feet were removed.

The five soldiers on the other end, their ropes were the first to have an advantage in numbers, and the soldiers were about to climb to a place where they could reach the hands of the rescue soldiers above, but soon the ropes were forcefully pulled down by the enemy, and the enemies on the ground rushed up and grabbed the ropes in unison.

At this moment, our superiority in numbers was also pulled by the enemy. The enemy's strength is equal to five or six of us, and the enemy will also work together, when they pull hard in unison, the rope is quickly pulled down by a strong and irreversible force, and the two soldiers standing in front and holding the rope in front are pulled out of the wall by the force of the rope. Fortunately, the men behind them were quick to grab their clothes and feet, and they were soon rescued. The other two soldiers were also rescued without incident.
