When the dark guard saw that it was seven grids, he immediately opened the door.

"I'm going to Xicheng, and before I came back, I said that I was infected with the wind and cold, and no one should come to see me, including the emperor." The kung fu man who said Qigege stepped into the backyard, she opened the door, took out the red Xiao under the cabinet, and hurriedly walked out.

The secret guard guarding outside the courtyard asked, "Do you want to gather people at once?" ”

"No, there are a lot of people in Xicheng, and that's enough."

Qigege walked out of the gate and got on the horse, "What about ruthless? ”

"Something happened to the head and went out."

Seven Gege nodded.

I didn't see Ling Xiaoxie's figure, which meant that he was still on the way back to the General's Mansion.

Qi Gege was a little worried about him, "You go to the East City Gate to pick up Ling Xiaoxie." ”

"Yes."

Qigege kicked the horse's knee and rode out of the capital.

Three days later...

Qigege passed by a village, walked a little longer, and saw a simple inn in the distance.

After entering, Qigege dismounted.

She walked into the inn, handed over the horse to Xiao Er, changed it to a well-recharged horse, took a few dry cakes, handed over the silver, and walked out.

Out of the inn, Qigege did not set off immediately, but rested under the grass hut for a while.

There were two old men drinking tea sitting in the straw shed, looking like a husband and wife, who should have rested on the way.

Seven Gege walked in, took out two dry cakes from his pocket and gave them them, and asked for directions to the Deserted City.

The old man who drank tea saw that Qigege's bearing was extraordinary, and he made a generous move, so he reminded: "Girl, you can't go any further, listen to the little old man's advice, this barren city will soon be unable to hold on..."

Qigege drove for more than three days, and saw a lot of homeless people traveling far away along the way, and when he heard it, he realized that he was roughly enlightened, "Old man can easily tell who the general stationed in the barren city is?" ”

"Who else can there be, General Cullen is dead, and the only one left is that Deputy General Cao."

The old man sighed, as if he had some unspeakable distress.

A month ago, they also saw General Kulen personally leading his elite troops passing through the barren city, and the people of the whole city thought that this war was saved, but the outcome was always unpredictable...

Cullen is dead, not only is Xicheng gone, but also represents the defeat of the Red Dragon Army.

The rest of the deputy generals, Cao An, had already colluded with Western Xia.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the emperor can't listen to the suffering.

Take pity on their helpless people...

"Cao An..."

A lieutenant general, no matter how bad he is, will not be much inferior to the main general.

Judging by the expressions of the two old men, the battle situation in Barren City is not very optimistic.

Did she miss something, or...

Qigege regretted that he didn't send someone to search for the main information that set off with Cullen before setting off again.

The old man drank a bowl of tea, "Girl, are you from the capital?" ”

"Exactly."

"My husband and wife are also preparing to rush in the direction of the capital. Girl, listen to the little old man's persuasion, let's go quickly..."

Qigege's phoenix eyes were cold, and his little face was resolute, "I can't go." ”

Xicheng was guarded by grandpa desperately, no matter what, she has to take it back this time!

"Alas... That's it. The little old man did not persuade again, took a clean bowl again, poured a cup of turbid hot water and handed it to her.

"Don't dislike it, girl, it's barren and drought right now, and the water source is exhausted, so it's good to have water to drink."

Seven Gege nodded and took the bowl.

After standing in the hut for a while, until the dry food in his hand was finished, Qigege drank the last sip of water, got up and got on the horse. -
