When the first battle horn sounded, Xiao Minglang and Liu Che'er immediately gathered their men and the people who had already settled down, waiting with bated breath to connect with their Jia brothers. Jia Yingtai really kept his word. So when the third distinctive flute sounded, they did not hesitate to pick up their weapons and rush out of the ruined temple near the north gate.

Everything seemed to happen in an instant, Peicheng was attacked from all sides, and there was a combination of inside and outside, and the north gate was quickly punched out, even if Liu Yifu wanted to stretch out his hand in their direction, it was out of reach, everything was as planned before Huayan.

She still hid quietly in the woods, watching the battle at the North Gate from afar, and she didn't need her to take action against the remaining remnants of Yao Zan's defeated army.

In the city, Xiao Minglang and Liu Che'er heard the sound of the command, and immediately led everyone to the north gate. I saw that there were only more than 20 soldiers guarding the north gate. There were fifteen people on the upper floor of the city and less than ten people downstairs. Xiao Minglang and Liu Che'er took advantage of the dim lights to divide the team of 100 people into two teams and quietly advance from both sides of the city gate.

The two teams quietly dealt with the soldiers guarding the city gate, and when they were about to storm the gate, someone in the city shouted, "The enemy is going to flee, catch them!" ”

For a while, the archers on the tower of the city shot arrows at them. Xiao Minglang pulled the city gate open, pulled back Liu Che'er, who was about to fight back, and said loudly: "Brother Che, you quickly lead the people out of the city, I will break the queen!" ”

Liu Che was stunned, the war was imminent, and he was not allowed to hesitate, he looked at Xiao Minglang firmly and said, "Brother Lang, you must return safely!" ”

Xiao Minglang nodded solemnly, unsheathed his sword, and resolutely fought towards the rear.

He remained at the last line of defense of the crowd, desperately holding back one soldier after another until all the people had completely exited the city gates.

The leader of the reinforcement team was Yao Zan's nephew Yao Yuan, and there were still not many soldiers to reinforce, which showed that Yao Zan and the others could not hold on. Although Xiao Minglang took on the task of finishing the project alone, these people did not cause harm to him.

Xiao Minglang saw that the people had retreated safely, and when he was about to evacuate, Yao Yuan suddenly stepped forward and said, "Aren't you quite capable of fighting?" Aren't you righteous and courageous? Didn't you give up your life to save righteousness? Why did you just leave this little doll behind? Yao Yuan viciously opened the swaddling clothes in his hand and grabbed out a baby who had just been full-term.

Xiao Minglang stopped retreating, and the blood on the sword was still dripping. He didn't reply, he suddenly lowered his head and straightened out the clothes on his body that had been torn by the sword, and slowly pulled the weeds from his hair. After he had rested enough, he spoke: "Liu Yifu's army has arrived, instead of wasting time with me here, it is better to rush to see your uncle for the last time!" ”

"You! Hmph, it's not certain who will die first! Yao Yuan was furious when he heard this, and raised his hand to smash the baby in his hand to the ground.

Xiao Minglang leaped forward with an arrow step and snatched the baby in Yao Yuan's hand. At the same time, a poisonous silver needle hidden in the swaddling clothes stabbed the palm of Xiao Minglang's left hand, and the poison on the silver needle quickly worked, and he couldn't support the baby in his arms, and retreated step by step until he completely fainted.

Soon, the people in Peicheng were escorted out one by one under the leadership of Liu Che'er and Limu, who came later, until finally seeing that Liu Che'er also went out of the city smoothly, and the clenched fists of Huayan finally relaxed. However, among Liu Che'er's group, she went back and forth but did not find Xiao Minglang's figure.

Didn't he take part in the trip? Hua Yan's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his heart. She quickly covered her silk scarf and rode towards the north gate.

"What about Xiao Minglang?! Why haven't you seen him come out yet?! Huayan stopped at Liu Che'er's place halfway, grabbed the reins, and hurriedly asked.

Liu Che'er looked around urgently, "The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, Brother Lang blocked the reinforcements alone in order to let us leave safely, I'm afraid he hasn't left the city yet!" ”

"What?!" Hua Yan didn't care about the dissuasion of Limu, and immediately drove his horse towards the north gate.

The north gate was ajar, the city tower was empty, and all the people in the city had already evacuated, and there were only half-burned torches and a few broken guns and swords on the ground. Standing alone outside the city gate, looking at the silent streets of the city, it was quite empty, and although she smelled the danger, she still did not hesitate to rein in her horse.

She rode slowly down the deserted streets, her eyes ahead and her ears carefully listening to the movements around her.

Sure enough, when she reached the middle of the city, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared in the alleys on both sides of the street, surrounding her. The gates were quickly shut.

A young man slowly walked out of the hut on the other side, he sneered at the painting face, and waved his hand slightly, and several of the soldiers set up a person from the room, accompanied by the heart-rending cry of the baby.

Hua Yan looked at the person on the ground with cold eyes, and found that the person who was covered in bruises and holding the baby was Xiao Minglang!

"Xiao Minglang!"

Hua Yan couldn't help but exclaim, but the other party remained motionless. When he took a closer look, he saw that his lips were black, which was obviously a symptom of poisoning.

She turned her head and glared viciously at the leading young man opposite, "Yao Yuan, are you going to die in this rhythm?!" ”

Yao Yuan was frightened by the masked woman in front of him who had a vicious look and called his name, and took half a step back. His eyes widened in horror and he began to panic a little, "You。。。。。。 Who are you? How do you know my name?! ”

Hua Yan sneered and jumped off the horse, "There is nothing I want to know, there is nothing that can't be done." As Yao Hong's illegitimate son, you can't use your biological father's surname, and you can only lie about aliases to the outside world, it must be very painful, right? ”

Yao Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but he quickly regained his composure. "You。。。。。。 Hmph, I think it was because Liu Yu was afraid of my identity that he sent you to kill them all. It's okay, there is one to die, and I don't have too many more! ”

Hearing this, Hua Yan sneered, "Ignorance! But this girl doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you today! She then pointed at Xiao Minglang and glanced fiercely at the people around her, and said coldly: "If you didn't play some conspiracy, how could you hurt him?" Who's the black hand?! Stand up for yourself! ”

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they were so frightened that they took half a step back.

Yao Yuan saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately shouted, "She's just a woman, what are you afraid of!" Don't take her down for me! ”

As soon as the little minions heard the boss's order, they immediately danced the knives and guns in their hands and stabbed straight at the painting. Although there were not many besiegers, there were no less than a dozen or twenty. Of course, these people are not a threat to the painting. said that it was too late, and then quickly, Hua Yan stood on tiptoe, jumped on the spot, stepped on the top of one person's head and jumped out of the encirclement, and landed steadily in front of Yao Yuan.

Yao Yuan stepped back step by step in horror, "Who are you?" ”

Hua Yan followed forward step by step, patted the jade flute in his hand, and said, "What kind of poison did you use on him?" Hand over the antidote, maybe I can do it lightly. ”

In a panic, Yao Yuan saw clearly the pattern of the flower on the jade flute in Hua Yan's hand, and trembled: "You。。。。。。 Are you from Taoyuan?! ”

"Antidote?!" Hua Yan stretched out his hand and looked at him indifferently, as if he hadn't listened to him.

Yao Yuan burst out laughing, "Do you think I'm really afraid of you?" What about Taoyuan? Now that you and I are trapped here, who will die and who will live, it is not certain! Hahaha。。。。。。 ”

"Stubborn!"

Just as Hua Yan stretched out his hand to grab Yao Yuan, a dark arrow suddenly flew out of nowhere, which was immediately noticed by Hua Yan, and quickly dodged sideways, but it was too late, the dark arrow just pierced her left shoulder, and the force of the arrow actually bounced Hua Yan back fiercely!

Hua Yan covered her wound and quickly sat up with difficulty, although she tried her best to endure the severe pain, she still spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, Yao Yuan suddenly relaxed and laughed, "Aren't you still very powerful just now?" How? It's only been a few hits and it's not good? ”

Hua Yan slowly raised his head from the pain, looked at the arrogant Yao Yuan, and sneered: "Don't worry, the good show is still to come!" ”

Hua Yan endured the pain of the torn wound, stood up, held the jade flute in his right hand, gritted his teeth, and fought towards the group of people in front of him. Her jade flute could not hurt anyone, and whenever she knocked down one and the other got back up, she swung at her despite the hordes of swords coming at her, and defeated a group of armor-piercing soldiers with a jade flute along the way. After all the besieging people fell weakly, Hua Yan's whole body was also scratched with countless sword marks, and the blood stained her apricot clothes bright red.

Hua Yan staggered to Xiao Minglang's side and squatted down, checked his injuries, took out two health pills from his arms with trembling hands and fed him the next one, and swallowed one himself.

"Xiao Minglang, how are you?"

She shook Xiao Minglang's arm, but the other side turned gray and did not react.

"Leave me alone。。。。。。 You go quickly。。。。。。 ”

Hua Yan leaned weakly beside Xiao Minglang, and suddenly heard a faint voice. She hurriedly picked up Xiao Minglang's head, and saw that he actually opened his eyes slowly, but before he finished his words, he fainted again.

Hua Yan gently held him in his arms, "It's my idea to siege the city, how can I leave you alone。。。。。。 ”

At this moment, the sound of war drums in the south suddenly stopped, and a deathly silence followed, followed by a deafening rumbling. Hua Yan was suddenly startled, quickly helped Xiao Minglang onto the horse, wrapped the swaddling clothes in his arms on his chest, and didn't look at Yao Yuan, who was frightened and fell to the side, and then rode out of the north gate.

After Huayan had run all the way for a hundred miles, she stopped for a while, and when she looked back, she could still see the city wall that had been washed away by the flood from a distance.

Huayan rode his horse all the way in a daze, perhaps because of the flooding, he didn't see half a figure on the road.

I don't know how long it was, and where the horse went. Due to excessive blood loss, Huayan couldn't hold on anymore, fell off the horse, rolled off the cliff unconscious, fortunately it was not a high mountain, and there was still a breath of breath.
