The fire behind him burned greatly, but until the end of the conflict, no official came. Dear,.of,.read,this,.page,.face,.content,content,.for the theft,version,please,down,upload,.fan.

"This is less than 20 miles away from Shou'an Town, and Shou'an Town guards the first pass in the southwest, with 10,000 soldiers." Saying that, Sikong Mingyue looked in the direction of Shou'an Town, her brows furrowed, "It stands to reason that when they saw this fire, they should have arrived one step ahead of us." ”
Shou'an Town is an important garrison town, and this vigilance is still there, and it is impossible to react so slowly.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Du asked, "Did you let those villagers go to Shou'an Town?" ”
Sikong Mingyue nodded, "And I told those villagers my identity, as long as the defenders of Shou'an Town asked, they would know that I was here." ”
Things were really strange, and the two discussed it and decided to go to Shou'an Town first. As for the Tuoba Siqi siblings, they had told them before, if they did not return before dawn, they would set off first.
As soon as you enter the southwest border, you will be safe.
The two rode towards Shou'an Town, and on the way they met some villagers who were sitting down to rest due to physical exhaustion, and the two urged them to hurry up.
Not long after, they came to the outside of Shou'an Town, the city gate was closed, and many villagers had gathered outside.
"The Xianbei people burned our village, and many villagers were burned to death!"
Remember the URL
"We have to be rescued by Lord Mingyue, she let us come to town!"
"Can't you hear me, open the door and let us in!"
The villagers shouted one after another, but the defenders on the city tower turned a deaf ear, still standing straight, but they didn't even look at the people under the city.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the villagers turned back one after another, and when they saw the two people who rescued them, they gathered around in a panic.
"County Lord, they won't open the door, they won't let us enter the city!" An old man said urgently.
Sikong Mingyue frowned, reassured the villagers not to panic first, she drove her horse to the city tower, and shouted at the defenders on the city tower: "Open the door quickly!" I'm Sikong Mingyue! ”
Hearing this, the defender looked down. Seeing Sikong Mingyue, he didn't immediately let the door open, but said something to the person behind him, and the person seemed to have gone to report.
"I didn't see so many people, if the Xianbei people catch up, you won't open the door?" Sikong Mingyue was so angry that she yelled at the people above.
Yan Du came to her side, glanced at the guards on the city tower, and said, "Obviously, they can see the fire, and they know that something is wrong, but they did not go to the rescue, but closed the city gate. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Du sighed, "It seems that your twelve tribes are indeed afraid of the Xiyue Imperial Court, no wonder you have been bullied again and again." ”
Sikong Mingyue glared at Yan Duan, "Don't say cool words." ”
"Am I not right?" Yan Du shrugged, "When you all feel that you are inferior to the Xianbei people, don't blame others for not treating you as human beings and killing you indiscriminately." ”
"You!"
Yan Dui glanced at Sikong Mingyue, "The person who can take charge is here." ”
Sikong Mingyue snorted, turned her head to look at the city tower, and looked at the people on the city tower, her brows furrowed.
"Second brother, why are you here?"
This 'second brother' was tall and strong, dressed in regular clothes, shaved all around his head, and only had pigtails on the top of his head, coiled up and fixed with a jade crown.
He is like Sikong Mingyue, with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, broad cheeks, and exotic characteristics, but his eyes are narrow and long, slightly squinted, revealing a gloomy aura.
He looked down at Sikong Mingyue, with a little silence behind his hands.
Yan Du glanced at the man and asked who Sikong Mingyue was. Dear,.of,.read,this,.page,.face,.content,content,.for the theft,version,please,down,upload,.fan.

"My uncle's brother." Sikong Mingyue whispered.
It turned out to be just the nephew of the king of the southwest, looking at the momentum, I thought he was the prince of the king!
"The second uncle ordered that the three towns in Jiangbei implement a curfew, and during the curfew, no matter what happens, the city gate is not allowed to be opened." He said.
Sikong Mingyue frowned, "Why is the curfew suddenly imposed?" ”
"You don't need to know about the political affairs of the southwest." When he said this, his expression was already full of contempt.
Sikong Mingyue was silent, "Even so, seeing the fire in the distance, you should have guessed that something was wrong, shouldn't you send someone to investigate?" To save these villagers? ”
"What are you questioning?" He asked coldly.
"I'm not questioning, I just think it's unreasonable."
"Presumptuous, it's your turn to comment?"
Hearing this, Yan Duan had already understood that in the Twelve Tribes of the Southwest, men are absolutely above women, no matter what the identity of this woman is, even if the only daughter of the King of the Southwest, the county lord of Mingyue, she is also a head lower than men.
"Hey, although your eyes are not big, try to open them as wide as possible, these people are the people of your southwest, they have just been burned down by the Xianbei people, their relatives died tragically, and now they have escaped alive and fled to this city gate, but you don't let them enter the city, just because of a government decree? Don't you think it's ridiculous yourself? Yan Du shouted upstairs.
Sikong Qingyun looked at Yan Dui, his eyes sank, "Who are you?" ”
"I am ......"
Sikong Mingyue hurriedly shook her head at Yan Dusk, not letting him reveal his identity.
Yan Du raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?" "Dear,.of,.read,this,.page,.face,.content,content,.for the thief,version,please,down,upload,.fan. Ashwagandha.,.a,.pP.,We,.provide,positive,.edition. Exempt. Fee, read, read. And, really, timely. More. 新無广,告. Next, load. Place, .address, zlink./JNu6T
"I went to save you secretly, and if my father knew about it, he would have punished me severely."
Yan Du also figured it out after thinking about it, and with the attitude of the southwest not wanting to offend the imperial court, he naturally disagreed with Sikong Mingyue to save him and Tuoba Siqi.
As soon as his voice changed, he shouted at Sikong Qingyun: "Can't you see, I'm a man, you said that women are not qualified to question the decree, then probably men are qualified, right?" ”
"You're from Daiei." Sikong Qingyun Road.
"I am." Yan Duan generously admitted.
Sikong Qingyun looked at Sikong Mingyue, "You actually befriended the Darong people, who allowed it?" ”
"You're fine, right, just make a friend, you have to take care of this?" Yan Du replied for Sikong Mingyue.
Sikong Qingyun didn't look at him, still staring at Sikong Mingyue with cold eyes.
Sikong Mingyue was obviously afraid of Sikong Qingyun, and her face changed, "Second brother, I'll explain to you when I go back, but for now, let's open the city gate first and let these people in." ”
She spoke much lower, more like a pleading.
Sikong Qingyun snorted coldly, "You saved these villagers, clashed with the imperial army, and blew up your identity, and did so many wrong things, this time the second uncle connived at you again, and the leaders of other tribes didn't agree!" ”
"Is there something wrong with your mother's brain, as a general of the defending army, the people don't save it, seeing them being brutally killed, and others save it, and you have to be punished?"
"I'm in the southwest, you'd better not get involved as an outsider!" Sikong Qingyun said with a blue face.
Yan Du was about to scold back, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, knock knock, not to mention hundreds of people, and then heard the screams of the people.
He frowned, "Oh no, the people from the court have caught up." ”
