Xu Huabiao is serious and wants to pretend to be dead for a few days.

Even, on the day he woke up, when Zhou Jieqiong came to visit him, he was still lying on the bed, and endured Zhou Jieqiong to talk to him in a "coma" for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

But that still didn't really get him to jump out of the whirlpool.

At noon on the second day when Xu Huabiao woke up, when Zhou Jieqiong came to visit Xu Huabiao in a "comatose" again, outside Luoyang City, a team of Xiliang cavalry appeared.

This also made Zhou Jieqiong just glance at Xu Huabiao, who had not woken up yet, and left directly.

The gates of Luoyang were closed, and the clouds of war hung over the troubled city.

However, it did not immediately turn into a bloody storm.

The Xiliang soldiers outside the city were stationed, but they did not attack the city.

It was just that every day they took turns riding horses close to the city walls and shooting arrows into the city.

This arrow is naturally not lethal, but it has a letter tied to it.

This delay lasted for three days.

"As long as the Son of Heaven is handed over, we will leave, otherwise, on the day the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left...... This group of Xiliang people actually knows how to attack the heart? ”

Xu Huabiao threw aside the letter she had picked up that Li Zhien handed to her.

"This is not the style of Xiliang people, maybe someone is planning for them."

"Who else? Li Shengji has been killed along with Jiang Hudong, and I haven't heard of any other capable people in Xiliang! ”

"This ...... Maybe it's just that he wasn't famous before? ”

"Hmm. Did the letter spread widely? ”

"There was no preparation on the first day, some circulated some, and not a single letter came out yesterday or today." Lee Ji-eun shook his head, "Choi Min-sik still has control. ”

"But it's not always a problem, is it? The people of Xiliang came from afar and brought a lot of grain and grass? Can they afford it? ”

"Then I don't know. Now the news outside the city, Choi Min-sik may have it there, but we can't have it here. ”

"You can ask Xu Zhuxian, since she is the commander of the palace guards of the Son of Heaven, she must know something."

"Ask her? Will she tell me? ”

"If you don't ask, how do you know she won't say?"

“…… Oh, then I'll go and find out what she's talking about in a moment. Li Zhien nodded, "However, my lord, you have been here for three days, and if you don't wake up again, I'm afraid that some people will have other ideas." ”

"Some? Who? ”

"Lee Do-hee."

“…… She's your sister anyway. ”

"From the time I called you the lord, I have been a member of the Xu family. Li Jia......"

"Stop! I don't understand the logic of your families. Xu Huabiao didn't want to hear Li Zhien say this, "You go and tell Li Duoxi that I'm awake!" If she wants to come to me, she will come. ”

"So master, you're not going to hide it?"

"I've been dizzy for so long this time, how can it take ten days and a half months to rest and recover...... Didn't Zhou Jieqiong stop coming to see me in the past two days? Thinking about it, I also feel that no matter what, I have to wait until the Xiliang soldiers retreat. ”

"Oh...... Good. ”

Li Zhien nodded, and when he was about to say something, there was a sudden commotion outside the house.

"What's wrong? Isn't it because the people in the city are unstable and mutinied? ”

Xu Huabiao heard the sound outside, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

This is the need to get up.

"Lord, lie down first, I'll go out and have a look......"

"No need. I've been lying down for days. Xu Huabiao didn't pay attention to Li Zhien's obstruction, stood up directly, and walked out of the room.

This is a very ordinary small courtyard, and the fence is not high, so Xu Huabiao can easily see the outside.

Also, not far from the city walls.

Xu Huabiao instantly understood what was happening.

"The Xiliang soldiers have begun to attack the city?"

Li Zhien, who followed Xu Huabiao to the courtyard, also understood.

"Looks like you're in a hurry!" Xu Huabiao nodded.

On the far side of the city wall, it can't be seen very really, but Xu Huabiao can feel that the battle there is still very fierce.

"Maybe the Xiliang soldiers didn't attack the city a few days ago, because the siege equipment was slower than the cavalry and didn't keep up?" Lee Ji-eun came up with a little idea of his own.

"Well, it's possible." Xu Huabiao nodded.

"That'...... Are we going to help? ”

"Help? How can it help? Can you still go into battle and kill the enemy? ”

"This ......"

"Give it to Choi Min-sik!"

Xu Huabiao turned his head and returned to the room.

……

"How's the battle going today?"

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

In the light, Xu Huabiao asked Li Zhien while writing something on the coarse cloth with a pen.

"There are no specific statistics yet, but Xu Zhuxian said that the battle situation is very unsatisfactory, and the battle damage is very large."

"How old?"

"It's estimated that it's about 20 percent."

"Twenty percent??"

Xu Huabiao was stunned.

The pen in his hand also stopped, and he looked at Li Ji-eun with a ridiculous expression.

"Yes! Today, the Xiliang people invested nearly 5,000 people to attack the city, and on the side of the city guards, because there was basically no soldier who had been on the battlefield, it was very chaotic. Li Zhien nodded, "Xu Zhuxian estimates that if there are three more sieges like this today, it is estimated that the city will be broken." ”

"Three times? She is also too optimistic, and if there are two more times, it is estimated that Luoyang will be gone. ”

Xu Huabiao blushed and shook his head.

"But Xiliang's side is not having a good time. Xu Zhuxian said that when the battle was about to end, she went up to the city wall to help tidy up, and she was very embarrassed when she saw the Xiliang people retreating. After all, they are all accustomed to cavalry combat, and they are not good at siege. ”

"But since the siege has begun, it usually takes at least three or four days in a row, right? Otherwise, won't it be in vain to wait for the side of the city to come back to the ground? ”

"Yes! Alas......"

Lee Ji-eun's expression looked worried.

"It's useless to worry. Well, if the city is broken...... I'll take you out of the city. ”

"I'm not just worried about that." Li Zhien's worried expression did not ease at all: "Xu Zhuxian also said that since yesterday, His Majesty suddenly began to send people to investigate the disappearance of the secret envoy he sent to Luoyang to fight the front station. ”

“…… Is this the beginning of finding someone to take responsibility? Xu Huabiao looked ridiculous.

At the moment of the foreign enemy, there is still time to ponder this?

Isn't this just to shake the pot!

"Then Your Majesty can't help defend the city! I can't do anything but be in a hurry! ”

“…… Alas! When the two armies are at war, the impact of individual abilities is really minimal! Xu Huabiao sighed.

"Why, master, do you still want to turn the tide on your own?"

"I also don't want to see Luoyang City broken." Xu Huabiao was a little helpless, "Now it seems that there is only one trick that can be used......"

"What?"

"Assassinate the general of the Xiliang soldiers. By the way, does Xu Zhuxian know who is leading the Xiliang soldiers now? ”

"She said it, Pei Yongjun and Zheng Yusheng both appeared in front of the battle."

"Both of them are here? That...... It's a bit hard to kill them together! ”

Xu Huabiao felt a little desperate.

"So...... Our last hope now is on Li Xiuman? ”

"Or else? I'm also strange, it's been almost a month since I was separated from General Quan Bao'er and them from outside Puyang City, right? Why haven't the reinforcements come yet! Xu Huabiao seemed a little anxious.

"I don't know, maybe...... What are you waiting for? Lee Ji-eun shook his head.

Be quiet.

"yes." Xu Huabiao nodded.

……

"Report! Urgent report ahead! The Xiliang soldiers have already begun to attack Luoyang City. ”

"Oh? Finally shot? How's the battle going? Did Luoyang hold on? ”

"The spies in front reported that the defenders of Luoyang seem to have suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that if there is another attack, the defenders will collapse."

"One more time? Well...... Then wait a little longer. ”

“…… Yes, General. ”

"By the way, where is the female guard of Xu Huabiao who followed the march a few days ago?"

"Oh, I seem to have left the day before yesterday, saying that I met my companion while hunting in the mountains."

"Companions? Why was her companion in the nearby mountains? Has anyone looked into it? ”

"Not yet."

"Don't go yet!"

"Yes! Checkmate. ”

The heralds withdrew from the camp.

Kim Taeyeon was left alone, sitting at the back of the case.

"Xu Huabiao, this Luoyang City won't even be able to withstand the two attacks of the Xiliang soldiers, right? The lord will be there in two or three days! ”

Kim Taeyeon muttered under her breath.
