Yan Jitai realized the seriousness of the situation, and today he did everything to encircle Tang Zhan and Lu Jing at all costs, just to calm his anger for a while, if he delayed here for too long, the main battlefield Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements arrived, and Xuzhou would face a crisis again.

Yan Jitai also knew very well that even if he was trapped in a desperate situation, Lu Jing was still calculating himself. It sounds like Lu Jing is like a grumpy daughter humiliating herself in the cave with all kinds of words, but in fact, she is disturbing her mind and not taking care of the main affairs of the war. Thinking of this, Yan Jitai gradually calmed down, and he was not angry because of Lu Jing's continued "speech......

Li Chengsheng walked to Yan Jitai's side and whispered beside him: "My lord, I see that the two of them are dying, and they deliberately use words to provoke each other and delay...... As the saying goes, 'The beast of the cage barks for a long time without sharp claws', they can only move their mouths at most, and if they want to kill them, it is simply a matter of moving their fingers, so why should adults talk to them?"

"What do you think you can do?" Yan Jitai asked in turn, "This cave is narrow, and it is difficult for us to enter even if there are many of us, so should we really stay here and wait until they starve to death in the cave?"

"Of course not......" Li Chengsheng showed a cold smile, and then said, "Since they don't want to come out, then let them never come out again......" As he spoke, Li Chengsheng gestured to the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers behind him immediately brought a lot of hay and torches.

"Is it true to burn alive with fire? The military advisor is really merciless......" Seeing that Li Chengsheng was going to use fire to trap Tang Zhan and Lu Jing in the death hole, Yan Jitai also sneered.

"Becoming a big thing is not informal, although this kind of death can't make you feel relieved. But for the sake of the bigger picture, we can't afford to waste a lot of time on these two mortal men. If you can start with a simple and sharp start, don't be ambiguous. Born in the war for one or two decades, you should know this much better than your subordinates......" Li Chengsheng replied with a sneer......

Deep in the Cave......

Lu Jing was talking inside, a little tired. didn't "shout" with Yan Jitai outside, and simply sat on the ground. Indeed, she is already dying, and Lu Jing no longer has much hope of survival.

And Tang Zhan was still dealing with the wound on the side - the arrow wound in the previous one was a little deep, and after pulling out the arrow, the blood did not stop. Tang Zhan bandaged it with his clothes for a while, and only then did he temporarily stop the bleeding.

Lu Jing was a little worried on the side, and then slowly moved to Tang Zhan's side, and asked with concern, "Stupid." Do you still hurt?"

"This little injury doesn't hurt at all...... Tang Zhan responded with an optimistic smile.

Seeing Tang Zhan's long-lost smiling face, Lu Jing gradually emerged with the lively smiling face that should have been. Now that the two of them are in a desperate situation, they have completely forgotten their identities in the army, and the two of them are like returning to Bianliang, Lu Jing is still the original eccentric and likable Miss Lu family, and Tang Zhan has always been inseparable, silly and cute by her side.

"Think about it when you were in Bianliang, the first time you were injured, fool, was still ......in a competition with the Nangong brothers," Lu Jing recalled the past and said, "At that time. Stupid, you were plotted by the Nangong brothers, and the whole person fainted to the ground, and I was scared to death at that time...... But now that the retinue is marching, there may be an extra scar on his body one day......" he said. Lu Jing's eyes were secretly confused.

Tang Zhan also recalled the days of Bianliang, he gently stroked Lu Jing's gray sideburns with his hand, looked at Lu Jing's face and said, "Jing'er." If you hadn't gone north with me, maybe you would still be your daughter in the Lu family - brocade clothes and food, carefree. It's not like it's like it is now, and it's not like ...... every day."

Lu Jing shook her head with a smile and responded, "Well, that's how boring life is...... Let's be honest. Fool, before I met you, I always thought that I was just good to be myself, whether it was the three obedience and four virtues of ancient women or the etiquette model of everyone's ladies, I was very happy to be a 'elf ghost' that people were afraid of in Bianliang City...... But when you come to me, fool, I find that my worldview is too narrow. Fool, you have big ambitions, even if you are charged with the crime of deceiving your teachers and destroying your ancestors, you have never given up the desire in your heart. Although the mind is stupid, but the sense of justice is full, and he is good to Jing'er, Jing'er likes you, Jing'er feels that there are fools by your side, and Jing'er has more than just happiness......" Speaking of this, Lu Jing's face couldn't help but blush a little.

When Tang Zhan heard this, why didn't he blush? Seriously, after following the army to the north for so long, the two really hadn't had an opportunity to quietly confess their love to each other like this for a long time. It's just that they didn't expect this rare time, and it was likely to be the last time in their lives, when the enemy army was surrounded by enemy troops outside, and this narrow cave entrance was a place of temporary tranquility. The two cherished such a brief moment of tranquility and did not want to be broken by other distractions......

"I'm also to Jing'er-Jing'er, I like you......" Tang Zhan also expressed his heart unreservedly, "In Bianliang, others are afraid of you, but I think Jing'er, you are cute, have a character, and have an upright concept of right and wrong, and are not afraid of power, so I think Jing'er, you are also a girl with a full sense of justice, and I won't be mistaken......"

"Fool......" Lu Jing listened, and the drunken red on her face became deeper and deeper. Thinking about it now, this is the first time Tang Zhan has said such affectionate words to himself.

However, after being happy, the expression on Tang Zhan's face immediately retracted a little, thinking that now that the two of them were in a desperate situation and could not escape, Tang Strategy whispered slightly: "With Jing'er, I am not afraid of anything, even if I die, I have no regrets...... I'm not the only one who is worried about Jing'er. And your brother and brother, Brother Zichuan, sister-in-law Yuru, Brother Xiao and Miss Su, and your father and mother......"

mentioned "Daddy", Lu Jing's eyes became more and more confused. The corners of Lu Jing's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and she couldn't help murmuring: "Speaking of my father and my mother, I went out of the city and went north with them and the fool you that day, and I still hid it from them." Now that I think about it, my father should have cursed me secretly every day, calling me a willful and unfilial daughter, and my mother should have been too worried about it, and I am afraid that she would be worried about getting sick......

Seeing that Lu Jing was a little sad, Tang Zhan seemed to care about Lu Jing when he was in Bianliang. Gently wiped away the tears on Lu Jing's face with his hand, and couldn't help asking, "Jing'er." What's wrong with you?"

"I miss my father......" Lu Jing revealed the girl's weak side and cried sadly. To know that in the barracks. Such a state of affairs must never be shown in front of outsiders.

Tang Zhan has always been inseparable from Lu Jing, and Tang Zhan can always empathize with what Lu Jing thinks in her heart. And in Bianliang, Tang Zhan also experienced the scene of the emotional exchange between Lu Jing and her father, and Tang Zhan could also understand the sadness in Lu Jing's heart.

Tang Zhan didn't say anything, he just gently hugged Lu Jing, making the pain and worry in her heart melt in her arms. But it was only short-lived. Over time, they will eventually die here......

"Jing'er, if we really die like this, will you regret it?" Tang Zhan let go of his hand slightly and asked Lu Jing in his arms.

Lu Jing smiled slightly, faded her sad face, and then shook her head and said softly: "Jing'er doesn't regret it, Jing'er will follow you for the rest of her life if she follows you stupidly." No matter how long or short this life is......"

The love words of the two went deep into each other's hearts, such an affectionate scene, but at this moment, there was a change outside the cave.

Tang Zhan and Lu Jing also retracted a little cautiously and looked towards the entrance of the cave—at first, a choking smell slowly went deeper into the cave. Gradually, wisps of green smoke soaked into the place where the entrance of the cave was covered by hay......

"Yan Jitai this guy. Actually set fire-" Tang Zhan said tightly in his heart.

Lu Jing calmed down for a while, and then said, "It seems." Yan Jitai can be regarded as having figured it out...... Focusing on the overall situation of Xuzhou's military situation, we don't want to continue to waste time on us. I just want to burn us directly with a fire. Of course, this is indeed the most straightforward approach......"

Tang Zhan re-grasped the pear flower spear, and said with some anger: "Damn, I don't want to die so badly, if I want to die, I have to die on the front line-"

"It's really a fool, Jing'er didn't misunderstand you...... Ahem, ahem—" Lu Jing said with a smile, but a cough followed interrupted Lu Jing's words—and the smoke began to slowly fill the entire hole.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Tang Zhan was also a little unable to stand, and coughed a few times from time to time. As the smoke intensified, the situation only became more and more severe, and as a result, they could only wait to die, and it was still painful before they died.

"I'm sorry, father, mother, my daughter can only come here......" Lu Jing finally fell to the ground, looking at the hole the size of a high thumb above, and said in a trance.

"Could it be that I, Tang Zhan, can only come here today? I haven't fulfilled my uncle's wish, my own wish, how can I ......" Tang Zhan held the pear flower spear in one hand and the rugged ground at the entrance of the cave with the other.

Inadvertently, the moment Tang Zhan bowed his head, his eyes glanced at the bright object on his waist - Tang Zhan saw clearly that it was the half of the dragon-patterned jade pendant. Tang Zhan will never forget that half of the dragon jade pendant is a token of friendship for Sun Yun, the good brother he made in a day, even if the north and south are separated, Tang Zhan firmly believes that one day they will meet again. Especially after joining the army and following Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition, such a desire became more and more intense, and whenever he was disappointed and discouraged, in addition to Lu Jing, this half of the dragon pattern jade pendant was the spiritual pillar that supported him to never give up......

"I haven't seen Brother Sun Yun yet, how can I ...... How can you just ...... here? cough, cough, cough, cough, cough ......" Tang Zhan closed his eyes tightly, but the fire outside the cave was getting bigger and bigger, the smoke was constantly coming to his nose, and the coughing sound of him and Lu Jing was getting faster and faster.

On the occasion of life and death, Tang Zhan still couldn't let go of Lu Jing in the end, and in the face of the advent of death, Tang Zhan couldn't miss Lu Jing the most, the most important person in his life.

So, Tang Zhan crawled to Lu Jing's side with all his strength, helped him up with his hands, and wanted to say something to Lu Jing one last time before he died. However, Lu Jing's consciousness was still there, and he vaguely saw Tang Zhan helping himself up, thinking that his life was about to end, and suddenly the last flash of inspiration in his mind ......

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jing actually made an unexpected move - Lu Jing used all her strength to hug Tang Zhan and kiss him together.

Tang Zhan was indeed a little shocked, he didn't expect Lu Jing to act so actively when he was dying. However, this is not the first time the two of them have kissed, they will never forget in their lives, the first time they fell in love with each other, it was from the kiss, it was in the Lu Mansion in Bianliang, when the two who were in love were deeply buried in the afterglow of their first love......

But surprisingly, Lu Jing's move extended the lives of the two - because the two kissed, it happened to slow down the choking harm of the smoke to the two, and the life was delayed, although these were only temporary......

After a little slowdown, they both opened their eyes at the same time, wanting to take one last look at each other's faces before they died. The two looked at each other for a long time, their breath was opposite, and they could already feel each other's affection in their eyes......

The smoke soaked the entire cave, and Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's "kissing and continuing their lives" was almost unbearable......

At some point, there was a shaking and noise on the side of the cave......

The shaking was a little abnormal, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's lives were dying, and there was still kung fu to look at it......

A picture they won't believe in their lives...... A loud bang was heard, and a large hole was opened on one side of the cave, and a black behemoth was drilled through the mouth of the cave. If you look closely, it turns out to be a giant python.

Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were a little frightened, and their eyes widened. kissed each other, but their eyes widened in surprise, and the expressions of the two looked extremely funny.

But it was this giant python's "breach", a large amount of smoke drifted away from the entrance of the cave, and the smoke in the cave was diluted a lot, and Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were temporarily alive. The two let go of each other, covering their mouths and throwing surprised glances at the python.

Tang Zhan was a little uneasy, the "monster" that suddenly appeared, Tang Zhan thought that he thought it was unfavorable to them, and the pear flower gun in his hand was held again.

However, after the giant python broke the hole, it did not show a fierce look, and its body drilled back into the hole, and then disappeared without a trace...... Immediately after a long silence, the smoke coming in from the entrance of the cave directly led to the big hole in the giant python's breach, and Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were no longer in danger of life......

"This ...... What is it...... Ahem...... "There was still a slight cough, but it was out of danger, Lu Jing asked softly with a surprised look.

"I don't know...... Ahem...... What was going on with the python just now, how could it be...... Is it because God has favored us and given us a desperate way to survive...... Tang Zhan also calmed down from the joy of escaping from death, and wondered Yunyun Dao.

After waiting a little longer, the smoke in the cave was almost diluted. A moment later, there was movement at the mouth of the cave - and it was the sound of human footsteps.

"Someone ......," Tang Zhan couldn't help but whisper.

The people in the cave gradually approached, and after a while, their heads popped out...... "Hey, you two are really here, here...... Ahem...... There is so much smoke, it seems to be a thousand shots...... "The person who came out of the breach was actually Xiao Tian. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing wouldn't have believed the scene in front of them.

"Brother Xiao?" Lu Jing was afraid that the enemy troops outside would hear it, so her voice was very low, but she was ecstatic in her heart—she and Tang Zhan were saved.

"Brother Xiao, why are you here?" Tang Zhan also asked in "shock".

Xiao Tian smiled slightly, made a confident gesture at Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, and then said: "The reason for the matter is to go out and talk about it, the top priority now is to get out of here quickly......"

Tang Zhan and Lu Jing didn't say a word, and directly drilled into the hole with Xiao Tian - the giant python just now was nothing else, it was Xiao Tian's tamed "pet", and the hole that was broken just now was actually a secret passage opened by the giant python from the bottom of the mountain. This time, he and Su Jia went up the mountain to find traces of Tang Zhan Lu Jing and his troops, but they didn't expect that this giant snake had made a lot of contributions.

In fact, there is no need for Xiao Tian to say, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing will no longer want to stay in this "ghost place". The two pinched their noses and followed Xiao Tian into the hole, and escaped from the enemy in an unbelievable way along the secret passage...... (To be continued......)
