Seeing that the iron crossbow was close in front of me and was about to shoot at me, at this critical moment, Mr. Yuan suddenly covered me and blocked all dangers with his back. I was pressed by him, only

Listening to the whistling wind in my ears, the iron crossbow fell in response, and there was a shattering sound all around.

And the sound of his heavy breathing can be heard in my ears.

Suddenly, an iron crossbow hit our horse. The horse let out a long and shrill neigh and suddenly stood up. He and I were caught off guard and fell off the horse. Mr. Yuan's back hit the ground.

And I was pulled by him and fell into his arms.

I heard him let out a muffled grunt, and his voice changed the tone. I quickly turned around, only to find that his wound had hit a stone on the ground. By this time, blood had splattered everywhere, staining his entire shoulder red.

"Master Yuan!"

I exclaimed, and our horse started galloping like crazy in pain, and disappeared from sight after a while.

At this moment, I didn't care about the horse and hurriedly helped Mr. Yuan. He was pale with pain and couldn't even bite his teeth tightly. Cold sweat was dripping from the top of his head. I hurriedly said: "Mr. Yuan! Mr. Yuan."

How are you?"

"No, it's okay."

He gritted his teeth and finished speaking, but it didn't sound like anything was wrong at all.

I was afraid that another iron crossbow would be fired at me, so I looked around and saw that there was an earthen wall in front of me, so I hurriedly helped him stumble over. He had no strength left and fell to the corner, bleeding uncontrollably.

There was blood flowing from the wound, and even my hands and body were stained red.

He looked at me, and a faint smile appeared on his pale face: "Sorry, I soiled your clothes."

"You still say this!" I was so anxious that I almost cried: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be so seriously injured."

He smiled: "How can I blame you?"

"..."

"It's my decision to accompany you; what's more, you didn't shoot the arrow."

"..."

The easier he said it, the more guilty I felt. I could only grit my teeth and endure the burning feeling in my eyes, hurriedly stopped his bleeding, and then hugged him, but his condition did not improve at all, maybe because

Due to too much blood loss, the lips have become pale and the breath is weak.

It happened that at this time, a burst of iron crossbows shot over our heads, and some of them even broke through the top of the earth wall. The sand and stones rolled down. Mr. Yuan stretched out his hand to wrap around my neck and hugged me hard.

In his arms.

All the sand and stones fell on him, but the rain of arrows did not stop, and kept shooting at him. The surrounding area was already full of devastation. I was so angry that my teeth itched, and I said fiercely: "I didn't expect Luo Shi's methods to be so cruel.

What a bastard!"

Fortunately, most of the people in Dongzhou fled to the south, otherwise many people would have died from such an iron crossbow!

Mr. Yuan suddenly said: "Do you think Luo Shi is a bad person?"

I was a little surprised why he asked this, and said doubtfully: "Well... what's wrong?"

He sat against the wall, smiled weakly, and said: "Actually, when a person's status reaches that point, it doesn't matter whether he is good or bad."

"Ah?"

He looked at the vast sky with a blank expression on his face: "If a person is destined to be an emperor from birth, everyone around him will teach him how to be an emperor, and even everyone in the world will want him to be an emperor.

, but no one cares whether he is good or bad, what his likes and dislikes are, and who he loves, because that is not important..."

I looked at him in astonishment, wondering why he said that, but when he said these words, there was an indescribable desolation on his calm and handsome face.

Mr. Yuan turned to look at me, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "But, no matter I am a good person or a bad person, I will not let you get hurt."

After listening to his words, I suddenly had a strange feeling.

This sentence - so familiar, it seems that someone once said this to me. I thought desperately, a figure of a person seemed to appear in my mind, and a gentle voice sounded in my ears - "No matter what I...

...A good person or a bad person...I want to give you happiness..."

That person, that voice——

When I looked at the man in front of me, I felt that my mind was clear and blurry for a while, as if something was about to come out, but I couldn't see it clearly. But at this moment, the iron crossbows around me stopped, and I could only hear the distant sound.

The city gate made a loud roar.

"This is——?"

Mr. Yuan raised his head and glanced over there, and said: "The locomotives should have retreated, they are about to attack the city."

The motorcycle has retreated, and it will take some time to mount the crossbow again, which means now is the chance!

I made up my mind, stretched out my hand to hold his shoulders and said: "Mr. Yuan, your injury is very serious and you can't move anymore. You just stay here and don't go out. As long as the city gate is not broken, everything is here."

Safe!"

As soon as he heard my words, he immediately understood something: "You, what are you going to do?"

While I was talking, I stood up and walked out. Mr. Yuan suddenly became anxious and wanted to stand up holding on to the wall. I turned around and said to him: "You must not come over. You have already accompanied me here. That's enough!"

I promise, I will not let myself get hurt. When I retreat, I will come back to you right away!"

After saying that, I turned around and ran away without waiting for him to speak again.

A thunderous roar came from the city gate in the north, like thunder in the sky. I ran forward desperately, and my breathing and heartbeat became heavier and heavier because of the sound.

After a while, the towering city wall appeared in front of us, standing in front of us, as if straight into the sky.

Getting closer and closer, I finally saw the tall city gate clearly, and found that the situation here was no better than at the other end. The ground under the city tower was covered with iron crossbows, and there was almost no place to stay. There were countless

The corpses of the soldiers were lying on the ground, with blood flowing into rivers. You could tell at a glance what kind of purgatory this place had just gone through.

And the roar came from the gate. Sure enough, the people of Shengjing were attacking the city. The city gate was hit one after another, stirring up bursts of smoke and dust. The originally strong nails almost fell off the city gate.

, the city gate was not only reinforced with huge horizontal bars, but also supported by thick wooden pillars, but it was also in danger under the violent impact.

The soldiers under the city tower had just resisted a wave of attacks, and they all showed fatigue at this moment, but they still pressed against the city gate nervously.

The figures in front of me were in a panic, and everyone was shouting and chanting. I looked around, and soon I saw the familiar figure under the tower.

Yuan Yichu, he was standing there giving orders, and Yang Yunhui had already put on his battle armor at this moment.

As soon as I saw him, I felt relieved. Just as I walked over, he happened to see me, and his eyes widened immediately: "Why are you here?"

"I——"

Before he finished speaking, he pulled me over and stared at me with eyes wide open: "You haven't left yet?"

I calmed down and said: "Send troops quickly, there is a problem at the west gate."

"What?!"

Not only him, Yang Yunhui was also shocked. I hurriedly said: "They still have a group of troops attacking the west gate. The soldiers who guard the city are no longer able to survive. Send people over quickly. If you are late, it will be too late!"

When Yuan Yichu heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Asshole!"

After I said that, I became weak and almost fell down. He reached out and hugged me, turned to Yang Yunhui and said: "You must count the troops and go over immediately, and be sure to hold on!"

"Yes!" Yang Yunhui accepted the order, but hesitated: "But this way-"

Before he finished speaking, everyone looked at the city gate worriedly. Under the powerful offensive of the Shengjing people, the buttons on the city gate fell off one by one, and cracks appeared on the pillars supporting the door.

, I can’t bear it anymore!

At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Leave this to me!"

As soon as we turned around, we saw a figure as strong as a mountain walking in front of us. After a closer look, it turned out to be Chang Qing!

He was also covered in armor and held a copper hammer in his hand. The eye that was blinded by Lose was covered with a leather sheath, and his whole person showed ruthlessness.

When Yang Yunhui saw him, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "But your injury."

Chang Qing said proudly: "So what if you are injured? When leading troops in a battle, who is not injured?"

Having said that, I know very well that he was seriously injured in the previous battle with Lose. He was especially blind in one eye, which had a greater impact. Going into battle requires seeing all directions and listening to all directions. If he goes into battle with injuries like this, I'm afraid

——

Yang Yunhui was obviously worried about this and was still hesitating. Yuan Yichu already said in a deep voice: "In that case, go quickly!"

"...Yes."

After Yang Yunhui finished speaking, he counted a group of people, got on his horse and took those people away. Just when he was about to give the order, Chang Qing suddenly walked over: "Hey!"

Yang Yunhui looked back at him and saw Chang Qing taking something out of his arms and handing it to him.

That's a hairpin.

"Give it to her."

Yang Yunhui looked down at the hairpin and froze for a moment. Looking at Chang Qing, Chang Qing said solemnly: "I know she's not dead. The reason why she pretended to be dead in the first place must be because she was worried that I would borrow the money after taking over the direct line.

She wanted to ask the emperor for military exploits, so she pretended to be dead and left."

Yang Yunhui's face suddenly turned ugly, and even Yuan Yichu, who was next to me, looked dark.

Chang Qing said: "Tell her that I won't force her or embarrass you. Just remember to let her use what I gave her. That's enough."

Yang Yunhui slowly stretched out his hand and took the hairpin. When he looked at Chang Qing, there was an indescribable feeling in his eyes, and Chang Qing slapped his horse suddenly: "Get out of here!"

The frightened horse neighed and immediately rushed out like an arrow from its string. Immediately, all Yang Yunhui's people followed.

I looked at them in astonishment. Although I didn't know what their relationship was, that hairpin and that "she" seemed to be a knot between these two men, which has only been resolved now.

Chang Qing turned around with the bronze hammer and looked at Yuan Yichu. Yuan Yichu also looked at him, but did not say anything. At this moment, the city gate in front made an earth-shattering noise——

"Boom!"
Chapter completed!
