When Li Xie received Xiao Qingyun's glance, knowing that he couldn't know that he was hiding here, he still shrank his neck in fright and didn't dare to move again. It was the first time she had seen what kind of character this god of war was that the people of Xia Kingdom respected and feared.

After Xiao Qingyun led people away, she slowly walked out of her hiding place. Seeing that he didn't give the bandits a chance to get close today, she not only had no regrets, but also a little lucky. In addition to admiration and fear for this man with a dragon and a phoenix posture, she suddenly had a little indescribable feelings.

The second time she saw him, it was he who killed the Wuling County guard and saved her. Only she knew how afraid she was of the Wuling County Guard to reveal her true identity in front of Xiao Qingyun. This fear even surpassed the butcher's knife raised by the Wuling County Guard.

She guessed that Xiao Qingyun might kill her if she knew the purpose of her trip, so she made up a story and portrayed herself as an ignorant ordinary Miao girl.

She followed Xiao Qingyun and the others, and she couldn't return to the official road for a long time, and she was a little resentful of Xiao Qingyun at that time. If he hadn't pressed the Wuling County Guard, maybe she would have completed her mission by now and embarked on the road back to the Xia Kingdom. And now, she can only accompany them to wander around the deep mountains.

When Xiao Qingyun handed her the water, she deliberately drank not a drop left, wanting to give him some color to see. Unexpectedly, he didn't care.

And the snake, she didn't know why she had brought the snake to attack him. Is it to avenge the soldiers who sacrificed in the Xia Kingdom? Or do you regret the softness of your heart when you met for the first time?

Unexpectedly, he not only found the snake, but also threw it on himself. The moment she was bitten by a snake, she really felt that she was doing it herself. Grandma warned her that poisoning and poisoning are very dangerous methods, and if it is not for justice, she will be punished by God.

She cried and felt that what Grandma said was good. Retribution came so quickly that she was caught off guard.

Li Xie was annoyed in his heart, but saw that Xiao Qingyun had already torn the clothes on her shoulders and sucked out the venom for her one by one. His cold lips were cupping against her skin, making her shoulders tingle.

Li Xie didn't expect that Xiao Qingyun, an arrogant general, would unexpectedly detoxify her. There had never been a man who treated her so disregarding life and death, and her tears flowed even more fiercely. For the first time, she felt a crack in her heart as the indifferent man lay on her shoulder, trying to save her life.

Wu Wei wanted to come over to bandage her wounds, but somehow, she felt as if Xiao Qingyun was the only one who made her feel safe. She pointed at Xiao Qingyun, but she didn't expect him to really tear up his robe for himself and gently bandage her wounds. His gentle words made her suddenly feel that being bitten by a snake was not all bad

Li Xie thought that he had tried to lure the snake to harm him before, but he felt guilty in his heart. She hugged her knees, sat by the campfire and thought silently about her thoughts, and she was uncomfortable with the antidote to all souls in her arms. An excellent man like him, even though he was an enemy of the Xia Kingdom, she still couldn't help but think crankily.

Xiao Qingyun tore the best part of the roast rabbit and handed it to her. She made up her mind that since she had been sorry for him twice, and he had saved her twice, she should spend her life to atone for her sins and repay him. Only such a man who is both heroic and chivalrous is worthy of her Xie Manhua's life.

Ever since she returned to the summer palace, she had always been awake from her sleep. But that night, because it was Xiao Qingyun's vigil, she slept very sweetly.

When Xiao Qingyun's subordinates came over, she made a fuss and only let Xiao Qingyun carry her, because at that time she had already decided that he was the lover she was looking forward to in her life. Unexpectedly, he didn't give her the slightest chance to make more contact. He didn't even leave his name, so he waved goodbye to her.

No one knew her disappointment and chagrin at that moment. But she won't be willing to admit defeat like this, since she is the person she identifies, even if she chases to the ends of the earth, she will get him!

Xiao Qingyun, if you didn't remember my name at that time, I would have spent my whole life remembering memorizing it. I, Finnie, will make you remember.

Li Xie made an ambitious vow, closed his eyes in anticipation, and fell asleep.

At this time, everyone in Jingzhou was still busy late at night. Lan Jing'an has received news that Jiang Shaoheng's army has entered Jingzhou, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Xiangyang in ten days. She was discussing with Lu Min how to lay out Jiang Shaoheng after he arrived, and how to switch from defense to offense.

In the past few days, Dayong has stolen divisions from the Qianjun, and he has also set up a fence in the water to enclose Moon Bay. Therefore, the scouts of the cadre army have no way to detect the shipbuilding situation in Moon Bay, and it is difficult to estimate when Dayong will attack.

On 20 February, three days before Jiang Shaoheng's agreed arrival time, Dayong finally prepared everything and sounded the clarion call for an all-out attack on Xiangyang.

On the side of the Qianjun, Lan Jing'an and the others knew that Jiang Shaoheng would arrive three days later, and they were not so panicked in their hearts. The troops were dispatched and the generals were also ready to fight back. In view of the current limited number of troops, Lan Jing'an did not plan to start a land battle with the other party in the wilderness east of the city.

She sent Lu Min to lead the sailors in the Han River to block Dayong. If they can't resist it, they will retreat to the Xiangyang moat and fully defend Xiangyang. The rest of the infantry and cavalry were distributed throughout the ring city, focusing on defending the four gates to prevent the opponent from breaking into Xiangyang.

The only place outside Xiangyang that needs to be guarded is in the south of the city. One is because she currently has part of the camp there. And more importantly, a little further past the Chengnan Daying is Da Hyeon Mountain, which is also the highest place near Xiangyang.

Once the other party is stationed near Da Xian Mountain, it will cause a situation of encirclement and monitoring of Xiangyang. Even if Jiang Shaoheng wants to rescue, it will not be easy.

After a period of recuperation, Lu Min has recovered his former demeanor. He went into battle, sat on the building boat, and led more than 10,000 sailors to the Han River. The largest battle since Xiao Qingyun raised his army broke out above the Han River. A total of 1,000 warships, countless fishing boats, and more than 30,000 sailors joined the water battle.

On the Dayong side, the same landing method as last time was adopted, and in the narrowest place on the east side of the Han River, warships were used to build pontoon bridges to transport men and horses across the river. However, this time they crossed the river and went straight to Xiangyang City, and did not gather a large army in the wilderness east of the city.

The north gate of Xiangyang faces the Han River and is where Dayong first attacked. Lan Jing'an stood at the head of the city, only to see the black and oppressive enemy troops standing densely in the wilderness outside the city gate. Ladders and artillery carts were also pushed out of the city gates.

Looking from afar, Yuwen Junping and Wu Daoming were standing on top of the watchtower, looking here. They also obviously saw Lan Jing'an standing on the city tower, and both of them couldn't hide their anger in their eyes.

Before the battle started, the coaches of both sides were already tense, eager to tear off a piece of meat from each other's bodies immediately.
