Beneath the Creator's magical black cloak, there are countless treasures. He let go and threw his cloak into the air, creating a starry sky, and when he took it back, the stars disappeared, leaving a dazzling pearl of the night in the air.

The full moon of the fifteenth day is as cold and bright as the pearl of the moon, and under the illumination of this magical light, the streets of Peixian County become as white and flawless as white jade. At this time, the streets were empty, all the sounds were silent, the paper lights in front of the houses had long been extinguished, the remaining smoke had not dispersed over the houses for a long time, and the sound of dogs barking in the deep alleys was heard in twos and threes.

Liu Che'er used his eyes to last look around the temple, and after making sure that the people of Pei County, who had been pacified, had fallen asleep peacefully, he turned around and talked to the person next to him. "Minglang, the matter has come to this, we will have a battle with Yao Zan, are you ready?"

Xiao Minglang, who was sitting alone on the threshold admiring the moon, smiled heroically, got up and handed the wine bag to Liu Che'er. "A strong man goes out on a journey, and he has no regrets. My heart is bright, and my figure knows. ”

When the flames are already in the air, Xiao Minglang can still be so chic and relaxed, which makes Liu Che'er admire him even more as a friend who has known him since childhood and seems to be a brother. He smiled, took the bag, and took a big sip. "The time to meet Jia Yingtai is not far away...... Brother Lang, have you ever thought about what to do if Jia Yingtai loses his word? ”

Xiao Minglang looked up at Mingyue, as if he was thinking about this, and there was firmness in his eyes. He spent a lot of effort on the mixed dragon and snake street, and only then did he have a foothold, but he opened a dust-forgetting building that looked like a Qing seminary. On the surface, he seems to be cynical and plays with the world, but the people he actually uses are all displaced refugees. It is enough to see that he is a kind and decent person. I'm sure he won't lose his words, because he's on the same level as me. I've always felt as if I've seen him somewhere before, like someone I haven't seen in years, especially his eyes......"

"I also don't think he's a bad guy, and I've always thought that way from the first time I saw him. It's just that we have to prepare for the worst in case of the unexpected. The people have put their lives in me, and I cannot and will not fail them. Liu Che'er stared at the lights on the city tower not far to the north, with a grim expression.

"Don't worry, if Jia Yingtai really misses the appointment, when the war drums at the south gate sound, we will cover the prince and the people to kill from the north gate, and we will fight with our lives, enough to make a hole from the north gate, just as we planned at the beginning." A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Minglang's clear eyes.

Liu Che'er held Xiao Minglang's shoulder with a solemn expression, "Brother Lang, you and I have known each other since we were five years old, you and I are kings and ministers outside, and brothers inside, I have always respected you as a brother in my heart." Now you and my brother can still work together on the battlefield, which is also a blessing. ”

Xiao Minglang smiled and patted Liu Che'er on the shoulder, took the wine bag in his hand, and sat down again. "You and I are forever brothers, and lifelong drinking friends. When this battle is over, you have to ask the Yingtai brothers for more wine for me, and he will please you the most. ”

Liu Che'er smiled and sat down together. "Isn't that easy? You can't move all the wine jars he has. ”

The lights on the city tower were bright, the soldiers were sticking to their posts, and the soldiers in the city were also solemn.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps on the silent city tower, and a figure floated out of the dark wall, looming. The man walked anxiously around the tower, looking up at the sky and looking down at the ground. However, the woods were pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps on the castle tower, and although the steps were gentle but firm. A comparison of the two voices clearly shows that the latter's mood is a little calmer and more stable than the former.

The former couldn't bear it at first, and said anxiously: "Uncle Yao, Liu Yu's army is less than five hundred meters away from Peicheng!" ”

Listen to the voice, it's a young lad.

Yao Zan raised his white eyebrows at the young man and scolded: "Even if you knock on the door, you can't panic!" ”

Yao Zan stared at a pair of angry eyes so that the other party did not dare to look directly, and lowered his head in shame. He didn't pursue it anymore, walked to the edge of the city wall, stood and looked away, and after a long time, he only sighed. "Liu Yu still refuses to let me go, as long as I have a soldier in my hand, he will chase after me."

"My uncle was already loyal back then, but he still refused to let it go. Now he deliberately fabricated a pretense to convict me of being a traitor, which is extremely hateful! ”

Yao Zan narrowed his cat's eyes and snorted, "He has a weak heart, and he wants to take this opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" Yuan'er, now that my uncle is over half a hundred years old, he can't protect you. ”

It turned out that this young man's name was Yao Yuan, and he was Yao Hong's illegitimate son back then, just because he had been hidden in the countryside since he was born, so not many people knew his true identity. After Yao Hong was defeated, Yao Zan had less than 1,000 men left, so he also handed a letter of surrender to the imperial court, and Yu Pei County rested his troops and horses. The two thought that the white flag had been safely saved, but who knew that they would not be able to escape after all.

Yao Yuan wandered anxiously on the city tower, unable to make up his mind. "Uncle Yao, the emperor's army is not far away, in your opinion, should we fight, or should we make peace?"

Yao Zan stretched out his hand to touch the city wall soaked in the cold moonlight and smiled miserably. "Harmony is falling! Yuan'er, don't you understand? No matter what choice we make, we will die! Only by picking out our flesh thorn can he Liu Yu feel at ease! ”

After hearing this, Yao Yuan collapsed on the city wall, motionless. It can be imagined that a young life struggled with the fear and panic of life and death, and the old man had already regarded death as home.

A deafening sound of trumpets pierced the silent night sky, and a fire lit up not far from the foot of the city tower where Yao Zan and Yao Yuan were. The sound of horses' hooves, the clashing of guns and shields, crashed against the shattered city wall from time to time.

Yao Zan tore off the Liu Zi flag planted next to him, threw it down the city tower, and shouted, "Why don't you fight?!" Even if you fight until the last moment of your life! ”

The bright moonlight covered the entire land, and the jade flute in Hua Yan's hand seemed to sense it, thus emitting a cold green light. The woods outside Peicheng were silent, but they were secretly turbulent, and the group had been waiting here for a long time.

I have to say that Hua Yan's excitement at the moment is too nervous, although he has made sufficient mental preparations and detailed battle plans before, but after all, it is only on paper. Now every brick and tile that catches your eye is a clear physical object, and all of them are jumping alive, how can this not make people's hearts shake! From beginning to end, Huayan believes that everything in the world has its own destiny, and no one has the right to interfere or kill, which is also the bottom line set for these brothers. However, without moving, Peicheng, which was built on high walls, seemed much calmer.

At this time, a tall, thin, dark-skinned boy came to Hua Yan's side, "Head, Liu Yifu is already preparing to attack the city, can we act?" ”

Hua Yan glanced back at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, and saw that he was wearing a coarse straw hat on his head, and his body was draped with grass and vines torn from the side of the road. He hunched his flat back, his slender legs slightly bent and lurked beside the dense grass, ready to attack.

Seeing his dress, she couldn't help but feel funny, and she took off the straw hat on his head and put it on her own head. "What's the hurry? It's not time yet. I said Xiao Hei, it seems that you have learned a lot of skills from the ghost old man during this time, and you will be lurking and arming. ”

Limu was a little shy, pouting, as if dissatisfied but did not dare to say directly, he looked at the painting tentatively, and lowered his eyebrows to put down the grass roots in his mouth, and muttered: "Head...... I'm not called Xiao Hei, I'm called Limu. Dressing up like this wasn't taught to me by Master Lei, I would have ......"

Seeing Limu's appearance, he smiled. After getting along with each other along the way in the past few days, she understands that Limu is a simple-minded, hard-working, smart but very loyal boy. It's no wonder that Old Man Lei did everything possible to keep him as an apprentice, this kid is a good seedling.

With a shrill trumpet sounding, a fire light light that illuminated most of the sky in the south was deafening, and Liu Yifu's army began a formal assault.

Hua Yan immediately jumped on the horse, took out the jade flute around his waist, and looked at the firelight. "Attention everyone! With the sound of my flute as an order, after three sounds, immediately attack the city! ”

Limu and the brothers lurking behind him also immediately raised their vigilance.

In the south, Liu Yifu gave an order, but the soldiers did not charge with their guns, but drove with bows to throw special sulfur sandbags on the Pei city wall, and then shot oil rockets with bows and crossbows.

A figure popped out of the darkness, "Chief, the spies came to report, Liu Yifu just threw sulfur sandbags and didn't make water, will they change their plans?" ”

Hua Yan snorted coldly, "No, it won't." Without water, they could not break the city, and the fire was only a prelude. Yao Zan's gang didn't know what to eat, and they had already announced the siege plan to the public, and they still had no power to fight back. ”

Limu suddenly accosted on the side, "If it is now returned to Liu, Yao Zan and others, they can't enter or retreat, just like a turtle in an urn, even if they know that danger is coming, they can't go back to the sky." The imperial court must have expected it a long time ago, so it will be so unscrupulous. ”

Painted Yan smiled secretly, this kid still has a bit of brains.

At this time, the east gate was on fire, and there was a roar.

Limu excitedly jumped up to Hua Yan and pointed to the firelight, "Boss, there's a fight over there!" ”

Hua Yan knocked Limu's head with the Yu Xiao in his hand, "What are you shouting!" Are you afraid that others won't know that we're hiding here? ”

Limu touched his head that was knocked out of pain, and bowed his head and stepped aside.

According to the agreement, the east gate attacked the city, and the painting also sounded the first flute order, the sound of the flute is melodious and ethereal, like the sound of the sky, so that people can't tell where it originated.

After a few minutes, the fire at the east gate gradually dimmed, and the west gate was lit up again.

It seems that Lu Wujun has also begun to pursue. Hua Yan smiled slightly and blew the second flute order.

At this time, although Huayan, who was at the north gate, did not see the sword light and blood splashed with his own eyes, as the sound of the war drums in the south became more and more intense, Huayan speculated that the time for Liu Yifu to open the gate and moat was near, and seeing that the sound of the war drums at the west gate was weakening, Huayan decisively sounded the third flute order.

Suddenly, the Taoyuan righteous warrior, who had been hiding in the woods for a long time, was like a fierce beast aiming at its prey, and flew towards the north gate of Peicheng.
