Seven days later, in the middle of the day.

The scorching sun hangs in the sky, releasing its warmth without stopping, turning the earth into a natural furnace, and man becomes an ant on the furnace, everything is so weak and powerless.

Jincheng, this is the most prosperous city in the empire, and it is also the city closest to the imperial capital.

The original Jincheng Street was very lively, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians, especially foreign businessmen. Standing on the street and listening, the shouting and selling are endless, and the end is a bustling city.

It's a pity that everything has changed.

No one in Jincheng came out to walk around today, and the whole street was lifeless.

At a glance, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and the people, whether men or women, are not out of the door, which makes Jincheng full of dead silence and makes the people's hearts covered with a layer of sadness.

......

The mansion of General Li in Jincheng is quite "lively", and there are five guests sitting in the hall, including Li Tang, a total of six people.

However, these guests are not here to eat, drink and have fun, but to discuss national affairs.

Fang Tianzheng has wolf ambitions and has been proclaimed emperor in the north. With 500,000 soldiers and horses, the power is monstrous, and the force is monstrous.

Now, Fang Tianzheng has laid ninety percent of the territory. This Jincheng is Fang Tianzheng's last stop, if Jincheng is lost, then the imperial capital ......

Country, in danger!

The Li family has served the country for generations, and the current head of the family, Li Tang, as a minister of the imperial court, will naturally not watch the country change hands.

He found the five great families of Jincheng and wanted to unite the five great families to resist Fang Tianzheng's attack.

The five great families are the martial arts families in Jincheng, if there is help from the five great families, then Jincheng can still resist for a while.

Li Tang has a fat head and big ears, is eight feet tall, is honest, cautious, and a reliable person.

In the hall, six people were seated.

He raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Thanks to the heads of the family who do not dislike the simplicity of the humble house, Li Mou will do it first as a respect." ”

Chen Zhendong, the head of the Chen family, one of the five great families, laughed and said, "General Li has a banquet, how dare you not come?"

"Haha, General Li's righteousness is Bo Yuntian, he is a hero praised by everyone in the rivers and lakes, and General Li's banquet is unbelievable!" Wang Teng, the head of the Wang family, laughed.

Huang Zheng, the head of the Huang family, said softly, quite dissatisfied, and said: "What righteousness is thin and cloudy, in my opinion, it is just a vain name. ”

Yuan Zhu, the head of the Yuan family, stared at a pair of eyes, quite angry, and said sharply: "General Li is an upright person, but you can't slander him at will!"

Liang Cuishan, the head of the Liang family on the side, was not in a hurry to drink tea, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, and he was content.

Li Tang smiled slightly and said: "Friends, don't use the false name in the rivers and lakes to ridicule you, how can you be in the future, you are just a reckless man." ”

"Hahaha, where did General Li say, General Li's prestige, everyone is like thunder!" Chen Zhendong laughed.

"That's what Brother Chen said. Wang Teng echoed.

"Hmph!" Huang Zheng snorted softly, with a slight dissatisfaction on his face.

"You're enough!" Yuan Zhu was furious, slapped the table and got up, and the table was instantly smashed in half, which shows that Yuan Zhu's strength is not trivial.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Tang suddenly stood up.

"Cough," Li Tang said, "friends, do you know why you are bringing you together today?"

"Heh, isn't it for Fang Tianzheng?" Huang Zheng said angrily, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Well, exactly..."

Li Tang said: "Now, Fang Tianzheng has established himself as the emperor, ninety percent of the territory of this dynasty has been occupied by him, I heard that he is about to attack Jincheng, everyone is a Jincheng person, I hope everyone can unite and strangle the traitors together!"

Everyone looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became serious.

Li Tang put his hands behind his back and paced slowly.

His gaze swept over the heads of the family, Chen Zhendong's face was gloomy, Wang Teng lowered his head to taste tea, Huang Zheng's expression was arrogant, Yuan Zhu scratched his ears and cheeks, and Liang Cuishan touched his goatee.

Their attitude made Li Tang heartbroken.

"Don't you all approve of me, don't you all support the Empire?"

Li Tang's face was sad, with disappointment and despair in his eyes.

Chen Zhendong got up and said, "General Li, I suddenly remembered that I was still cooking soup at home, so I can't accompany you." ”

Li Tang nodded.

Wang Teng's eyes rolled, and he immediately got up and said, "General Li, I just heard that the cold house is going to the water, and it is down..."

Li Tang waved his hand, his face full of helplessness.

"Youkai, where to run!"

Liang Cuishan suddenly screamed and ran out.

"Oh, farewell. Huang Zheng put on a straight face and walked out of the door.

"I... I..."Yuan Zhu scratched his ears and cheeks, not knowing how to decide.

Yuan Zhu said: "I am not alone, and I have to take care of the lives of one hundred and fifty-three people in my family. ”

Li Tang nodded slowly and said, "You can go too..."

"Both... In this case, I would like to ask General Li to cherish it. Yuan Zhu turned and left.

......

In the huge hall, only Li Tang was left alone.

The delicacies on the table were still steaming, but the wine was cold, just like human nature, cold-blooded and indifferent.

"Huh... Hahaha..."

Li Tang laughed angrily, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He sat on the ground, his eyes blank.

"Newspaper..."

A hurried voice came.

Even Li Tang could hear it clearly from afar, and this voice rang fiercely in his heart, a reality he didn't want to face.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up.

He has become the majestic general again, full of majestic momentum, with an indomitable domineering momentum.

"Pedal hoo..."

Hurried footsteps were heard.

As far as the eye could see, it turned out to be a young soldier.

The soldier was covered in blood, and there was not a single part of his uniform that was good, revealing his scarred skin, and two arrows stuck in his shoulders...

"Woo... General!"

The creep fell down in front of the hall, wailing.

He seemed powerless.

Li Tang was moved and immediately stepped forward.

The little soldier choked and said: "General, Baimagou is defeated, General Li Xiao is killed in battle, and Fang Gou is about to fight to Jincheng!"

"You... What do you say?"

Li Dan was shocked, his eyes instantly turned red, and he pinched Xiao Bing's shoulders with both hands.

"General Li... Killed in battle..."

"Say it again!"

Li Tang was almost roaring through his throat, his heart was dripping blood, his nose, his ears, and his eyes were bleeding.

"The little general has died in Baimagou..."

"Why... Why..."

Li Tang let go of the little soldier's shoulder, and the whole person fell to the ground weakly.

"Is the Empire going to die?"

Li Tang closed his eyes unwillingly and fell into a deep sleep.

......

It's night.

A full moon hangs high to dispel the darkness of the night.

"Stomp, stomp..."

This is the sound of horses' hooves, a large number of horses' hooves.

Fang Tianzheng's cavalry is approaching!

In front of the gate of Jincheng, 30,000 soldiers have lined up in a phalanx.

They clenched their weapons tightly in their hands, their eyes full of hope.

This is a soldier of the Empire!

They will surely win!

So they are hopeful.

They are the most powerful and heroic soldiers!

"Stop!"

Fang Tianzheng raised his hand, and the three thousand cavalry stopped moving.

In front of the gate of Jincheng, a veteran general was waiting for him, and 30,000 soldiers behind him were eager to try, eager to rush up and kill Fang Tianzheng on the spot.

The veteran slowly drew the long sword at his waist and pointed at the sky.

The veteran roared: "Kill! Kill all the thieves in the world!"

"Fight for the Empire!"

"Fight for the Empire!"

"Fight for the Empire!"
