The city wall of Qilingyi, after a night of restoration, can barely be seen to be a city wall, or a battlement, Gu Qingci woke up very early, and came to the battlement with the first batch of county soldiers on duty.

It didn't snow that night, but it was colder than yesterday.

Qin Keqing also got up when Gu Qingci got up, almost not leaving an inch, no matter what Gu Qingci did, he followed along, making Gu Qingci very helpless, but helpless, what a stupid girl!

Standing in the cold winter wind, Gu Qingci wore white clothes and fused with heaven and earth, he was quite restless in his heart, stood for a while, suddenly grabbed a handful of snow, formed a snowball, and threw it into the distance with all his strength, without using internal force, just like an ordinary person, the road surface that was frozen by the patrol soldiers under his feet was very slippery, and he almost fell.

"Master Gu is kind-hearted, and he can still be so relaxed at this time. ”

At this time, Ning Qing's stinky old man's voice rang out, and Gu Qingci immediately turned around, and saw Ning Qing leaning on his body and slowly walking up to the battlement, still carrying the knife on his back.

Qin Keqing also glanced at Ning Qing, but after just a glance, he turned his head and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Qingci clapped his hands, walked to Ning Qing's side, and said lightly: "If there is wine today and drunk today, it doesn't matter if you live or die tomorrow." ”

Ning Qing was slightly stunned and said: "My lord is very literate, and when I say it casually, it is a classic, and it is even more like a word about all kinds of life." ”

Gu Qingci was also stunned, and suddenly reacted, there is no poet immortal Li Bai in this world, his sentence is drunk today, but Li Taibai's poems, if there are a few more poems that he learned in his previous life, wouldn't it make this old man shocked.

"It's just picking up people's teeth," Gu Qing looked at the mountains and fields, and said, "Ning Lao doesn't rest much?"

Ning Qing sighed and said, "How can I sleep, I don't know when the Northern Desert thieves will come, by the way, Lord Gu, do you have a reply from the scout you sent out?"

Gu Qingci nodded and said, "I made too much noise yesterday, and the Northern Desert has already noticed that I didn't send people to fight Grass Valley today as usual, but rushed back to the camp overnight, I'm afraid that there will be a fierce battle today!"

"It's a good time!" Ning Qing snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid they won't come, the old man's knife hasn't been touched for decades, and he wants to be warm." ”

Gu Qingci touched the jade bone sword on his back and said, "Yes, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood, I, Gu Qingci, are also waiting for them to come, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!"

The wrinkles on Ning Qing's face became even more, and he said, "Lord Gu, you have to pay more attention, any of us can die, but you can't make a mistake now, otherwise, who will protect this Changling County?"

"I ......"

At this moment, Gu Qingci suddenly saw a wisp of smoke slowly rising in the distance, it was wolf smoke, billowing wolf smoke rising into the air, Ning Qing's eyes widened in horror at this time, turned his head to look straight over, and stared into the distance in a daze.

Gu Qingci immediately took two steps forward, Huo Ran looked, he had already arranged for someone to prepare two beacon towers ten miles away from Qiling Station yesterday, and the place he chose was a hill, which happened to be far away from the wall of Qiling Station.

He looked to the other side, and at that moment, the beacon tower also burst into flames, and the fire was fierce, and then the beacon tower on the ridge farther west was also lit, and passed farther away.

Gu Qingci's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly turned his head over, just in time to see Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing looked at him indifferently at this time, his eyes were very flat, but he also said: "The people from the Northern Desert are here." ”

Gu Qingci swallowed his saliva, he was a little excited now, because he had never seen a beacon fire, but he had heard it countless times, so he naturally knew what it meant to light the beacon tower. The ferocity and savagery of the people of the Northern Desert were to him the perception of the corpses strewn across the field yesterday, a group of bloodthirsty beasts.

He slowly untied the jade bone sword from his back, held it in his hand, and roared loudly: "Everyone, prepare for me to meet the enemy!"

The county soldiers on the city wall were all shocked, and they held the spears in their hands tightly, shining in the cold wind, very cold.

There was an old man carrying a knife and standing on the city wall, Xiao Suo's back seemed so persistent, the desolate snow reflected his tumbling hatred, that was very much for the people of the Northern Desert, that was the hatred of a great cultivator for decades - his name was Ning Qing!

Gu Qingci and Ning Qing glanced at each other, and went down the city wall with their swords.

......

Qiling Station, at this time, the city gate was closed, and the nearby residents had already been arranged to leave, or they were slaughtered and wiped out, except for the county soldiers, there were no other idle people, etc., and the order was not chaotic.

The little prince of the Northern Desert, Meng Ge, has led his troops to coil in the northern part of the Xia Kingdom for a long time, and there has been no major movement, and it is only in the last few days that he has started to fight the grass valley, and he has not decided when to start driving directly until yesterday, Gu Qing resigned and came to Qiling Station.

In fact, over the years, the Northern Desert army has often appeared on the border of the Xia Kingdom, and occasionally kills people, but most of the time they dare not directly attack passes like Qilingyi, for the city, they do not have the ability to carry various siege equipment remotely, just for looting, they will not risk huge casualties to attack the city.

But this time, it was different, this was Beimo's long-planned plan, the little prince Mengge personally came with the vanguard troops, Gu Qingci also knew that the matter was very big, and he had to react as soon as possible, so he went down the city wall with his sword.

Of course, it can't be an escape, it's just to command, he needs to arrange.

Although Pang Shilong did a muddy job as a county magistrate, he was always a soldier after all, and as soon as he heard the news that the Northern Desert army was coming, he didn't even finish his meal and hurriedly ran out of the tent.

He was in a hurry, and he appeared in front of Gu Qingci resolutely.

Gu Qingci doesn't know how to fight, after all, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, he has never participated in this kind of battle, he can only hand over the command to Pang Shilong, although he has no bottom in his heart, he doesn't believe in Pang Shilong very much, but he doesn't have too many choices.

However, Gu Qingci didn't know that Pang Shilong was doing this for an old job, so he sent a horse to get in touch with the scouts to inquire about further news, and on the other hand, he sent people to start deploying troops quickly, and Zhou Shi sent someone to inform Ma Shilian that he went to the city wall with a crossbow team, ready to go to the city to support at any time.

Gu Qingci was stunned on the side, to be honest, these days, he has been dealing with large and small affairs every day, Pang Shilong has always listened to his orders, except for martial arts, it seems to be useless, although Gu Qingci is using Pang Shilong, but he looks down on Pang Shilong in his heart, and he can't imagine that he is handling the war in an orderly manner at this time.

Everything was arranged, Gu Qingci stood in the snow, his long sword unsheathed, looked coldly at the Northern Desert army that had already appeared, and said lightly: "Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures!"
