"Well," Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and nodded in response, Li Xiaoqi pulled the cloak tightly with both hands, and looked straight at the thick city wall in front of him that was vaguely uncertain in the dark, with the eldest brother, there were also Erhuai, Guizi, and Mr. Liang, Jiang Shuncai, such a lonely army went deep behind the enemy, in the dark night, I was not familiar with the place, I don't know how many dangers there are in the mountain path to Wudi, and then to Hancheng, how many dangers there are in between, how many mountains to cross, what if there is a river•••••• all the way to Hancheng is another battle to the death! Li Xiaoyi's heart tightened, closed his eyes, put his hands together, and recited the Buddha with great devotion, Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows, looking at her speechless for a while.

Just after reading a few words, a bright firework suddenly broke out in the silent darkness in front of him, and Su Zicheng waved his hand excitedly and ordered: "Siege!" As soon as the words fell, red fireworks flew out of Dongping's hand, which exploded loudly in mid-air, and exploded into the dark night sky with blood.

Li Xiaomi's eyes widened, and he was stunned to see that the originally quiet and peaceful ground in front of him suddenly turned and bulged, and countless black-clothed soldiers emerged from the ground like ghosts, silently rushing towards Hancheng Pass, which was boiling in the blink of an eye, and the cold glow reflected by the swords and guns along the way corresponded with the stars in the sky, flashing with a piercing chill.

Su Zicheng shouted excitedly: "Mingzhu protects the girl!" Kill the rest! Dongping was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand in front of Su Zicheng and shouted, "Master! Uncle has instructed, no matter what, you can't let your master get close to the battlefield for five miles! Su Zicheng stared at Dongping fiercely with a calm face, Li Xiaoqi saw the fireworks rising in Hancheng, and immediately relieved himself, hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Su Zicheng's clothes, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is less than five miles here, do you want to retreat?" Dongping glanced at Li Xiaoqi gratefully, Mingzhu also subconsciously raised her hand to wipe her sweat, and the girl opened her mouth, which was considered to be persuaded. Su Zicheng reined in his horse sullenly, and looked ahead with a frown, at this moment, the gate of Hancheng had been pushed open from the inside, and the screams were mixed with a red-eyed roar, and the sharp screams of the swords colliding violently, spilling out from the city to the outside of the city, and being crushed back by the silent black current outside the city that seemed to come from hell.

"It's horrible!" Li Xiaoqi smelled the thick smell of blood coming to his nose, and said in a low voice, Su Zicheng glanced at her with discomfort and said, "What is this?" A small war, can it be worthy of two terrible words? Li Xiaoqi didn't pay attention to Su Zicheng's temper, only turned his head to look at Mingzhu and asked, "When can we enter the city?" ”

"I'm sure I'll be able to go into town after sunrise." Mingzhu replied with a smile, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Su Zicheng and said with a smile: "This siege from the inside out, Hancheng must be damaged, and when you enter the city, let people take a look from house to house, if there is damage to the siege house, one household will compensate some silver." ”

"It's up to you." Su Zicheng stared at Han Cheng who had gradually subsided in front of him shouting killing, his eyes were full of chagrin, and he was not interested in what Li Xiaoqi said at all, Li Xiaoqi followed his gaze to look at Han Cheng with a sword and a shadow, and then turned his head to look at Su Zicheng's face full of yearning and chagrin, blinking his eyes for a long time, it seems that he is most interested in this thing of fighting and killing, no wonder Shui Yan said that he would kill.

Sure enough, just after sunrise, the battle in Hancheng ended, Ling Li's murderous aura gradually faded, Nanning rushed over and reported the siege situation to Su Zicheng in detail, and at the end, he added a sentence to Li Xiaoyi, "Li Zongliang's losses are not big, and the generals are fine." Li Xiaoqi breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted his chest, patting a heart back.

The group rushed into Hancheng, Li Xiaoqi led people into the city, and helped Zhang Daxian, the chief soldier and veteran of Hancheng, who had been appointed long ago, to clean up the mess, and the magistrates elected by Su Ziyi had not yet arrived, Zhang Daxian wanted to arrange the deployment, this is a big deal, and the matter of cleaning up the messy mess in Handi, Li Xiaoqi took it, and took Danyue and others to busy arranging to appease the people, bury the dead soldiers on both sides, sprinkle potions and powders everywhere to clean and disinfect everywhere, count the warehouse, check the dead and injured from door to door, compensate the house, apply medicine and medicine, and be busy. Su Zicheng went directly through the city, and convened the soldiers to discuss the next battle in the line set up in the south of Hancheng, and there were not many defenders in Hancheng, and the surprise attack was successful, so he had to hurry up to prevent General Shi, the defender of Chuzhou, from transferring troops to recapture Hancheng.

Soon in the afternoon, the first batch of three local officials sent by Su Ziyi rode into Hancheng, these three are nearly half a hundred years old state and county officials, they have long said that they are experienced, but in the end, they are old, this seven or eight days of running around day and night, only tired to roll off the horse, and even have no strength to get up to salute, Li Xiaoqi had to find a few small people to come over first, carried the three of them into the Hancheng County Ya, wiped their bodies, put medicine on the bloody and blurred thighs, fed them thick rice soup and medicine, and let them rest first.

In the evening, Li Xiaoqi was crooked in a sedan chair in Nanning and didn't know where to find it, and staggered back to Xingyuan. Returned to Xingyuan to bathe and wash, changed clothes, although the person was clean, but the nose was full of strong smell of blood, Li Xiaoqi sighed bitterly, and instructed Danyue to smoke more lotus incense cakes in the tent, the fresh lotus fragrance was thick in the tent, Li Xiaoqi felt more comfortable, lying on the couch, looking at Danyue and sighing: "It's still Mama Zhang's old age, when she said to bring more fragrant cakes, I still annoyed her, I don't smoke incense, it's really •••••• it turns out to be such a usage, this is Xiao Zhan, If it's a big war•••••• alas! ”

"It's okay, we don't count the battlefield at all, I have old people who have been on the battlefield in my family, listen to them, that's what it's called disgusting, saying that they are stepping on the intestines of dead people all the way!" Danyue smiled and continued, Li Xiaoqi retched, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop Danyue: "Don't say it!" I was disgusted to death, and told Dayu, I don't eat meat these days, I'm vegetarian, and I don't eat any intestines and livers for a while! I don't eat blood tofu anymore! I'll just eat a vegetarian diet! ”

"Why are you going to be a vegetarian?"

Danyue was looking at lying on the couch, a disgusting Li Xiaoqi smiled and bent over, Su Zicheng continued, lifted the curtain and came in, Danyue was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head and hands to the side, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly sat up, looked at Su Zicheng and shouted angrily and sullenly: "The prince wants to come in, so let someone report it, right?" I'm different from you men and women! You go in and out like this, and you don't shy away from it, how much gossip do you have to provoke? Who will pay for my reputation? ”

"Who's gossiping? Who dares?! Su Zicheng straightened his back suddenly, squinted his eyes at the girls in the tent, and said viciously with his wrong teeth, Danyue was so frightened that she took half a step back, trembling and almost kneeling down, Li Xiaoyi took a breath in his throat, waved his hand and ordered: "You go down first!" Danyue, Liuyun and the others seemed to have received an amnesty, and retreated outside the tent together, Li Xiaoqi sat upright on the couch, pointed at Su Zicheng and said solemnly: "Don't scare my girl, this man and woman are different, it's not a matter of daring to say it, don't dare to say it in person, and you have to slander behind your back, you want to come and open the curtain and enter like this, how can there be such a rule?" How will I live my life in the future? Could it be that I was taking a shower and you came in with the curtain lifted? Su Zicheng's Adam's apple kept rolling, staring at Li Xiaoyi, and suddenly turned around and slammed the curtain and left. Li Xiaoqi fell back on the couch and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Danyue stood outside the tent with her hands down, watching Su Zicheng angrily slam the door, stayed for a while, and quietly slipped into the tent, and saw Li Xiaoqi leisurely lying on the couch reading a book, patting her chest and exhaling: "Girl, don't always choke on the prince, I'm scared to death!" Li Xiaoqi put down the book, tilted his feet on stilts to the side, looked at Danyue and said indifferently: "There are some things that you can't help but say, otherwise you won't be able to live this day, okay, it's okay, with me, ask someone to bring food over, I'm tired and hungry for a day." Danyue blinked, turned around and went out, and told Liuyun and Xirong to find Dayu to bring food. Li Xiaoqi ate alone An Ansheng, held the book and read less than two pages, and then fell asleep very sleepy.

The next day just dawned, Li Xiaoqi got up and rushed to Hancheng, fortunately, he entered the city in just over a quarter of an hour by car, just sat down in the county office, and the three officials who rushed over yesterday dragged their feet to see the salute, Li Xiaoqi politely wanted to let the three of them sit down, looking at the legs of the three people who did not go together at all, he had to smile and said: "The three adults have been tired and injured in a hurry, and now it is a big deal to sort out the affairs of Hancheng, and the details of those standing and sitting etiquette will be put away, and the three adults will come how comfortable they feel, standing and lying down." ”

"Thank you for your understanding, let's stand, stand better, and lie on my stomach at night." Zhou Shanqi, the eldest magistrate of Yuanji County, bowed down and replied, Li Xiaoqi said 'um', turned his head and instructed Qingcheng: "Find three crutches and come over for the three adults." Qingcheng agreed crisply, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the three of them and said with a smile: "I will stay in Hancheng for another day or two, and the three adults will take care of their leg injuries in these two days, and I will discuss with General Zhang when I go back, and the three of you will leave one to garrison Hancheng, and the other two must go south with me and be appointed separately." The three of them hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and Li Xiaoqi retreated to the yamen, leaving the yamen to the three of them to deal with all the trivial affairs together.

was busy until it was close to noon, and Liuyun trotted in from the yamen to report: "Girl, Dongping passed on the words of the prince at the yamen, saying that he would come to see the girl, and he would be there in a while." Li Xiaoqi put down the account book in his hand, pursed his lips and smiled to signal that Liuyun knew, and Danyue, who was sitting opposite Li Xiaoqi copying the general ledger, put down his pen, looked at Li Xiaoqi and smiled, Li Xiaoqi spread his hands and said, "Look, have you changed?" This must be said! Danyue got up and moved the pen and inkstone to the table next to her, and she didn't care about calling people, she went to the basin shelf and wet the handkerchief, wrung it half-dry, and wiped it nervously and carefully, Li Xiaoqi watched her wipe it for a while, stood up from the armchair, dusted off her clothes, and threw the handkerchief out to greet Liang Wang Ye Su Zicheng, since he followed the rules, his own rules could not be half a point off!
