After Xiao Ti left, Tang Guixi pretended to retreat and led his troops to hide in the mountains and forests near Hengcheng.

That night, a team quietly left Hengcheng.

They hurried in the direction of Xingning City.

But before he could run far, he was caught by the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which had already been ambushed on the side of the road.

Tang Guixi ordered people to torture them.

After a few tortures, those soldiers cried and confessed everything.

It turned out that there was not much grain in Hengcheng, and after being besieged by the Eastern Expeditionary Army for a month, the grain and grass in the city had been exhausted, and the Chen army was so hungry that they even took the idea of the people in the city and began to kill people and cook meat.

This provoked a strong public outrage, and riots broke out in the city in which the people desperately resisted.

At this time, the military scout heard the location of the camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, so he sent troops to raid, hoping to disrupt the military morale of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

Unexpectedly, the raid failed, and the Chen army could only change its plan temporarily.

They deliberately revealed their plans to raid the camp, forcing the Crusade Army to retreat and leave, and then sent people to Xingning City to ask for help.

When they heard that they even dared to eat human flesh, Tang Guixi and the soldiers present were so angry that their faces turned black.

Ignoring the begs of those Chen soldiers for mercy, Tang Guixi directly waved his hand and dragged the person down to kill.

Tang Guixi ordered people to put on the clothes of those dead soldiers.

They disguised themselves as Chen soldiers, rushed to the outside of Hengcheng when the night was dark and the wind was high, and vigorously blew the horn hanging on their waists.

The soldiers stationed on the city wall heard the sound of the horn and knew that the companions who had been sent out to ask for help had returned, so they immediately lowered the city gate and put the people up.

The scout, who was hiding in the shadows not far away, saw the city gate open, and immediately rushed back as fast as he could, telling Tang Guixi the news.

Tang Guixi immediately ordered an attack!

As soon as the "Chen soldiers" entered the city gate, someone came up to inquire about the results of the request for help.

Without saying a word, they pulled out their waist scimitars.

The sharp blade reflected an icy chill in the night, and it slashed through the throats of enemies.

Warm blood spurted out.

At the same time, there was also the angry shouts of the soldiers.

On the city wall, a general of Chenguo saw a figure rolling not far away, and hurriedly rushed down and shouted.

"The enemy is coming, close the gates!"

The wolf smoke was ignited, and one horn after another sounded.

The originally silent Hengcheng was like hot oil poured into cold water, and it exploded in an instant.

The soldiers pulled the chains hard, trying to pull the gate up quickly.

Tang Guixi rode at a gallop and rushed to the front of the team.

She threw the spear in her hand.

The red-tasseled spear flew out like an arrow from a string, impartially, just like the iron chain hanging from the city wall.

The chain was then stuck and the axle could no longer turn.

The gates could not be pulled up, and they were stuck in mid-air.

The soldiers of the Crusade Army, disguised as Chen soldiers, seized the opportunity to take out the gunpowder packets hidden in their arms, lit the fuse, and threw them at the mechanism that opened the city gate.

There was a loud bang.

The trap was blown up, and the gates fell heavily above the moat.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army rushed forward in one go, and successfully crossed the river with horses' hooves stepping on the city gate.

General Tatsukuni on the city wall shouted to release arrows.

Arrows rained down.

They did everything to prevent the Crusade army from entering the city.

Fierce battles ensued between the two sides.

The battle lasted a day and a night.

It ended in a complete victory for the Eastern Crusade.

The people of the city were rescued, and the separated family members hugged each other and wept with joy.

The surviving soldiers were taken prisoner, and they were hung in the open space in front of the county office, and people threw stones at them every day.

The banner of the Kingdom of Tatsu planted on the city wall was cut down.

By the time Xiao Ti and Yu Yuan led everyone to Hengcheng, a new flag had been planted on the city wall.

A big red flag like fire, with a big Tang character written on it.

It's Don Guixi!

When Yu Yuanxuan and Xiao Ti saw that flag, they knew that Tang Guixi really planned to stand on his own.

Knowing that Xiao Ti and Yu Yuanxuan were coming today, Tang Guixi was waiting near the city gate early.

As soon as she saw Yu Xuan coming, she immediately jumped off the horse and strode forward, intending to give Yu Xuan a big bear hug.

turned out to be stopped by Xiao Ti.

"You haven't washed the blood off your body, don't scare the child in her belly."

Tang Guixi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he shouted in a lost voice, "You have a child?!"

Yu curled his lower abdomen and smiled happily.

"yes, I'm more than a month pregnant."

Tang Guixi danced happily and jumped on the spot several times, not at all like a general who had just won a battle, but more like a three-year-old child.

"Hahaha, I'm going to be a godmother!"

Yu Yuanxuan deliberately teased her: "I also agree to let you be the child's godmother."

Tang Guixi was taken aback.

She covered her heart and took two steps back, as if her heart had been hit hard, and asked pitifully.

"Have you forgotten our sisterhood for so many years?

Have you forgotten that when you were punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, I took a look at the matter of giving you a notebook?

Have you forgotten that you were in a prison cell, and that I was always with you?

You forgot that when you ran away from the dog hole in the middle of the night, I was also with you......

Yu curled up and covered her mouth: "Okay, okay, don't say it."

If she continues to talk about it, her little black history will be exposed.

Tang Guixi pulled down her hand and asked persistently, "Then do you still let me be your child's godmother?"

Yu Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

Tang Guixi immediately smiled.

She wanted to touch her curly belly, but the thought that she had just killed someone and that she still had a bad aura on her body retracted her hand again.

She raised her head and pointed forward, and said in high spirits.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the city I fell!"

Yu Yuan smiled and his eyebrows curled: "Okay."

Many places in Hengcheng were damaged in the war, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army is organizing the people to repair Hengcheng together.

The next step is to use Hengcheng as a stronghold, which means that they will live here for a long time.

Although it looks tattered here, everyone is full of energy, and people can't help but look forward to the future.

After visiting Hengcheng, Tang Guixi asked people to send Yu Yuanyuan and Xiao Ti to a temporary residence to rest, and she still had something to do.

Yu Yuan looked around as he walked, and suddenly heard the man next to him ask coldly.

"What happened to Tang Guixi's escape just now?"

Yu curled his footsteps.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Ti, just in time for his dark eyes.

Just now she thought that Xiao Ti didn't hear it, but she didn't expect him to hear it, he just kept holding it back, and only now did he ask.

Yu Yuan laughed twice.

"Haha, things are not what you think, you listen to me."
