The words in Tu Wu Gu are sonorous and powerful, and the words are loud and clear. There is silence all around, a deathly silence!

After speaking, he smiled proudly.

The young captain stepped back a few steps on the city wall, turned around and ordered: "Hurry up and inform the prince!"

This man threatened to "attack the city with troops". How could he, a little captain, make the decision without authorization!

"Yes, Captain Cheng." A soldier hurriedly took the order and left.

Chief Lieutenant Cheng pursed his lips into a straight line and held a breath in his heart, listening to the footsteps of the soldier gradually disappearing...

What followed was a long silence. Those on the city wall were waiting for Xiao Yi's order, while those under the city wall guessed that the other party must have sent a message, so they did not rush and waited patiently outside the city...

At this time, time seemed to slow down, and every moment was so painful. Cheng Xiaowei became more and more irritable, looking outside and inside the city from time to time... until the faint sound of horse hooves came from behind, becoming more and more clear.

Tap tap tap...

Looking at the sound, several horses were galloping towards the end of the street. The leader was a tall and beautiful young man wearing a purple brocade robe. At a glance, the young man was wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and he was in high spirits. Xiao Yi.

Beside him, a white horse kept pace with him. On the horse was a gentle and elegant young man in blue robe, who was as free from dust as a fairy. The two of them were both martial and literary, and their temperaments were moving and the other were quiet, forming a sharp contrast, but for some reason, they were still. There is a wonderful sense of harmony.

What are you thinking about? Captain Cheng blinked, wondering if he had just been temporarily possessed by a demon.

Soon, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai walked onto the city wall one after another.

"Your Majesty, Lord Guanhou!" Cheng Xiaowei hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two of them with cupped fists.

Xiao Yi waved his hand casually, walked forward, and looked down at Tu Wu Gu and his group outside the city wall.

Prince Zhennan finally appears!

Tu Wugu was overjoyed, clasping his fists and repeating what he said before: "Prince Xiao, I have been ordered by my commander to come here to deliver a message. If the prince agrees to return the Nine Kings of Nanliang to me, then everything will be possible for the war between the two countries. Talk, otherwise tomorrow..."

Listening, Guan Yubai raised his eyebrows slightly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. The other party was afraid that he had misjudged A Yi's temperament.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Yi interrupted Tu Wugu with a cold voice:

"Within ten breaths, retreat or die!"

The six words were resounding, and Xiao Yi’s attitude was even more firm and decisive, leaving no room for criticism——

Since the other party is not here to surrender, then there is nothing to talk about!

The corners of Guan Yubai's mouth are slightly raised, A Yi has always adhered to his principles, grasped his own righteousness, and will never waver easily!

Cheng Xiaowei was also looking at Xiao Yi from behind. On the one hand, he felt happy, but on the other hand, he felt a little nervous. He subconsciously looked at Guan Yubai, but saw that the other person's expression was indifferent, and there seemed to be a hint of faintness at the corner of his mouth. His smile, but looking at it again, it seemed like it was his own hallucination.

Cheng Xiaowei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This An Yihou came to supervise the army with the emperor's order, and he was a second-grade military prince. He was indeed a troublesome figure. Originally, the Southern Xinjiang Army was decided by the Crown Prince, but if An Yihou had doubts about the Crown Prince's decision and wrote to the court, it would be a huge trouble for the Crown Prince and Southern Border.

Since An Yihou arrived, Li Shoubei and President Jing Qian secretly issued strict orders to the soldiers below, telling them to be careful in their words and deeds, observe military discipline, and never embarrass the prince.

Fortunately, An Yihou seems to be a sensible person...

"Ten!"

The sound of Xiao Yi's counting came to his ears, causing Captain Cheng to wake up suddenly.

"Nine!"

Xiao Yi counted down unhurriedly, looking at Tu Wu Gu with cold eyes, and began to count down, releasing a cold murderous aura all over his body.

Obviously the distance between the two sides was tens of feet, and they couldn't even see each other's appearance clearly, but Tu Wugu felt a chill in his heart, as if he was being targeted by some ferocious beast, which made him shudder.

Although he had never faced off against Xiao Yi on the battlefield, he suddenly understood why Dayu, the crown prince of Zhennan, was known as the "God of Killer" in their Nanliang army.

Tu Wugu's hand holding the reins tightened unconsciously. He never expected that Xiao Yi would not take anything hard or soft!

However, Marshal Ikaro will never accept two failures, and he can no longer return without success!

Tu Wu Gu swallowed his saliva and said righteously: "Prince Xiao, as the prince of a vassal in southern Xinjiang, don't you think about the people of Yanding City and insist on fighting against each other? See you..."

Xiao Yi continued to count down to himself: "Eight!..." While speaking, he stretched out his right hand, and Zhuzi immediately handed a dark heavy bow into his hand with quick eyesight.

Cheng Xiaowei couldn't hold back the excitement on his face and said: "Seven!"

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of soldiers on the city wall also counted down in unison: "Six! Five!..."

The sound became louder and louder. The bowstrings in the hands of the archers began to tighten, and hundreds of arrows were aimed at Tuwugu and his party.

"Prince Xiao, you will definitely regret it!" Tu Wugu remembered the arrow that was shot in front of his horse last time. He was still afraid after all, so he pulled the horse's rope and quickly turned the horse's head.

The countdown above the city wall continues: "Two!"

At the same time, Xiao Yi had already fully drawn his bow with ease, and aimed his gleaming arrow at Tu Wu Gu, who was running away...

When the last number "one" fell, along with the buzzing sound of a bowstring, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded:

"Whoosh——"

The sharp arrow split the air like lightning and shot towards Tuwugu rapidly. Even the air seemed to be shaken and undergo a subtle change.

Tu Wu Gu faintly felt something in front of him and tried to look back. Unfortunately, it was too late. The sharp arrow passed like a shooting star and passed through his heart in the blink of an eye. It clicked...

He seemed to hear the sound of his bones and internal organs breaking echoing in his ears. His eyes were so stunned that he watched in disbelief as the arrow stained red with blood appeared on his left chest...

Tick tock, tick tock...

Red blood dripped from the arrow, but his heart had stopped beating forever...

Tu Wugu fell stiffly from his horse and rolled onto the official road of yellow soil. His dull eyes bulged out, as if he didn't understand how he could lose his life like this.

Time almost stopped at this moment.

"Sir!" The envoys beside Tuwugu exclaimed, and they were all confused.

"Retreat!"

"Go back and inform the commander!"

"Drive!"

They pinched the horse's belly and tried to drive it away.

But it's too late!

"Swish, swish..."

After Xiao Yi's arrow, all the archers drew their bows and released their arrows. The dense arrows were shot out almost at the same time. A rain of arrows fell from the sky, instantly covering the Nanliang envoys...

They didn't even have time to scream, before they were shot into "hedgehogs" by the countless arrows. They fell off their horses one by one, and their blood dyed the yellow soil below red.

This scene seemed so tragic, but the soldiers on the city wall only felt extremely happy.

These **** Nanliang people have killed so many innocent people in their southern Xinjiang, and how many of their comrades have died fighting to regain their homes and defend their people!

Also, Yanding City and Yongjia City now have ten houses and nine empty spaces. They are all man-made evils of Nanliang. In this way, they still dare to appear outside Yanding City and threaten them. It is really deceiving!

Xiao Yi looked at the corpses lying scattered outside the city gate from a distance, with a surprisingly bright light shining in his eyes, and said slowly: "Except for surrendering and returning the city, Southern Xinjiang will not accept any negotiations."

Xiao Yi's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in the ears of these soldiers, who all looked towards him.

The dark eyes of these soldiers are shining, and their focused and enthusiastic eyes are almost looking at their own beliefs. They are full of confidence and believe that under the leadership of Xiao Yi, they will be invincible!

Guan Yubai was looking at Xiao Yi and the other soldiers on the city wall with deep eyes and a deeper and deeper smile on his lips... After a while, he raised his eyes to look at the rising sun in the east, squinting slightly.

Times create heroes, the rising sun will eventually rise in the sky, and no one can stop it from blooming its own dazzling light...

Ayi, how far can he go? !

Not only the soldiers on the city wall saw what had just happened, but also the Nine Kings Langma, the Nanliang prisoners and others a hundred feet away.

Langma stood there as if struck by lightning, her mind went blank and she could hardly think.

What just happened was completely beyond his expectation. "When two countries are at war, the envoys from other countries will not be killed." This has been a rule for thousands of years. How dare Xiao Yi shoot and kill the envoys from other countries! Isn't he afraid of ruining his reputation? !

Behind Langma, the Nanliang prisoners all looked pale and their whole bodies were trembling slightly.

Although they are temporarily captured by the Southern Xinjiang army, everyone has a glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that one day Nanjiang will exchange prisoners with Nanliang, and they can return to their homeland again...

But at the moment when the arrows rained down from the city wall, the little hope in their hearts was suddenly shattered!

In contrast, the attitudes of the surrounding Southern Xinjiang civilians and Southern Xinjiang Army soldiers were completely different from those of these Nanliang people. They were all honored. A middle-aged man wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and choked with sobs. He said: "Well done! Master, you are avenging my whole family!" There are countless people in Yanding City who have lost all their relatives like me.

"It's so happy!" One of his friends patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's so happy!"

Others also said in various tongues:

"We should kill all these Nanliang people!"

"That's right, kill them so that they won't dare to invade for a hundred years!"

"..."

The civilians became more and more angry, and their eyes looked at the Nine Kings and the Nanliang prisoners with deep hatred. If there were not soldiers guarding them around, they would have wanted to smash the Nine Kings and the others to pieces. The body was in pieces.

All kinds of negative negative emotions of hatred surged in like waves. Langma felt like she was an isolated island in the sea, and would be swallowed up by the terrible tsunami at any time...

Langma panicked. Next, he had to guard against these civilians, and even more so against Xiao Yi. Originally, he thought that the Southern Xinjiang Army had fallen into his Nanliang trap anyway, and he only needed to wait patiently for Nanliang. The frontier army was defeated, and it was natural to return to the old land. But now looking at Xiao Yi's decisive killing, Langma realized one thing. This Xiao Yi was so violent and rude by nature that he would probably wait until the day when Yanding City was destroyed. , Xiao Yi will definitely sacrifice himself to the city!

The more Langma thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high.

No, he must not stay here and wait to die!

He must find a way to escape!

Langma said to herself in her heart.

However, how could he escape from this iron-clad guard with his own strength?

I’m afraid the only person who can help me here is——

Qiao Shenyu!

Langma looked thoughtfully at Qiao Shenyu not far away, and saw Qiao Shenyu who was also looking in the direction of the city wall at this time. Compared with the indignant civilians, there seemed to be a smile on his face. A bit disapproving.

Langma's eyes flashed, she clenched her fists, and then strode to Qiao Shenyu's side.

"Brother Qiao, you look bad," Langma asked in a low voice, her tone caring and attentive, "But you didn't get a good rest last night?"

"Forget it, I was woken up by someone else's snoring, and I didn't sleep all night..."

Qiao Shenyu was full of bitterness every day. Langma would pick a topic at random and he would complain endlessly. The two of them would hide in the corner and talk.

On the city wall not far away, Xiao Yizheng was looking in the direction of Langma and others, with a hint of a smile on his lips. From the angle he was in, he couldn't actually see Langma, but he could more or less guess what he was thinking at the moment.

The original calm on the city wall soon returned, and the archers retreated in a well-trained manner.

When there were no outsiders around, Xiao Yi asked with a smile: "Xiao Bai, are you still going out of the city today? I'm free anyway, why don't we go together?"

Guan Yubai responded with a smile. Drawing a new map is an extremely tedious and meticulous task, and Guan Yubai likes to do it himself, so he worked for many days and only managed to complete less than one-third of the work.

The two went down the city wall along the stone steps, and Zhuzi hurriedly ordered the gate guards to open the gate.

"Squeak——"

The heavy city gate slowly opened under the joint efforts of several guards. At this time, the sound of horse hoofs came from far behind. Xiao Yi didn't pay attention, but Zhu Zi turned around and saw it. He was about to Reporting to Xiao Yi, the person coming had already shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Brother!"

This clear and brisk voice was so familiar that I knew it was Fu Yunhe as soon as I heard it.

Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai turned around and saw two horses, one black and one white, carrying a man and a woman galloping towards the city gate, their hooves flying.

The young man on the white horse is full of energy, it is Fu Yunhe, and on the black horse is a girl in green, with thick black shiny braids rising slightly behind her as the horse jolts, full of vitality.

"Xiao Hezi, you and Miss Han are also going out of the city?" Xiao Yi's eyes paused on the basket beside their horses and speculated.

Fu Yunhe responded with a smile: "Cousin Xia was going to go to the Yulan Mountain area with the Lin family's grandfather to collect herbs. I thought it would be too dangerous for just the two of them to go there. I happened to have nothing to do in the city these days, so I might as well go with the Lin family. My grandfather took the initiative to invite me. My grandfather of the Lin family asked me to accompany my cousin Xia..."

"It's a coincidence," Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, "Xiaobai and I happen to be going to Yulan Mountain, so we might as well go together."

Fu Yunhe and Han Qixia naturally had no objections.

At this time, the city gate had been half opened, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai also got on their horses, and a group of six people filed out of the city.

Someone was cleaning the corpses and blood stains of Nanliang people outside the city gate.

Go south along the official road.

The sun is still mild in the autumn morning, and the sunlight shines softly on the distant mountains and forests, on the official roads, on the treetops, on the fields, on everyone...

The scenery in the southern suburbs is beautiful, with clumps of wild camellias growing wildly on the roadside. Compared with those carefully cultivated camellias, these wild camellias have a vigorous and public vitality.

From time to time, you can see birds and butterflies perching on the branches and among the flowers, leisurely and contented, but they are frightened and scattered by the sound of horse hooves and the cry of eagles.

Probably because he was used to playing with the palace pigeons and birds on weekdays, Xiao Hui rarely preyed on birds. He usually just played with them. Watching them fly around and lose their feathers made him excited. The ground cries endlessly.

Everyone rode forward on horseback. Guan Yubai had already surveyed the five-mile radius of Yanding City, so they basically did not stop along the way. After about half an hour, several continuous mountains appeared in front of them. Hundreds of feet away.

The crowd's horses slowed down, and Han Qixia pointed ahead and said: "Ahead is Yulan Mountain... Last time my grandfather and I came to this area to collect herbs, and we accidentally discovered that there are several rare herbs on this mountain."

The horse accelerated again and galloped straight towards Yulan Mountain ahead.

Tap tap tap...

The group of people stopped their horses at the foot of the mountain. Everyone got off their horses and Zhuzi stayed to look after the horses. Xiao Si spontaneously carried Guan Yubai’s luggage.

"I still remember that last time my grandfather and I went up the mountain from a trail in front..."

Han Qixia volunteered to lead the way from the front.

Yulan Mountain is not a scenic spot. There are no temples or pavilions on the mountain. On weekdays, most of the people who come here are hunters. Occasionally, there are farmers who collect herbs. Therefore, there are no artificial roads on the mountain, only some hunters. The path out is steep and muddy.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and Han Qixia is the only weak woman among them. At first, Fu Yunhe was worried that Han Qixia would not be able to walk on such a rugged mountain road, but he did not expect that she seemed to be more flexible and strong than him, wearing a pair of Wearing deerskin gloves, he would grab some branches, shrubs, etc. from time to time to move forward.

The group of people didn't stop all the way, and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Looking at the thin sweat on Han Qixia’s forehead, Fu Yunhe was about to suggest that everyone should take a nap, but he saw Han Qixia’s face was overjoyed, her eyes were shining like gems, and she raised her voice slightly excitedly: “Found it! It’s wattlegrass!”

Following her gaze, she saw several clumps of dark gray thorn-like plants growing around a section of dead wood that had been split in half.

Han Qixia strode forward and deftly took out the sickle placed in the basket behind her.

The blade of the sickle is extremely cold and sharp. A few rays of sunlight shine through the gaps in the branches and leaves above. The blade flashes with a cold light, which makes people feel scared when they look at it.

The cold and hard blade formed a sharp contrast with Han Qixia's slender bare hands, one hard and one soft, one cold and one warm.

Fu Yunhe, with the eyes of a soldier, can say with complete certainty that this sickle would be fatal if cut on the wrist or neck!

He swallowed and felt that his cousin was not suitable for holding such a dangerous weapon. What if she accidentally sprained her foot and fell on the blade?

What if she accidentally cuts her own wrist while picking herbs?

"Cousin Xia, let me help you!" Fu Yunhe volunteered with a smile on his face.

Han Qixia's steps paused, and she looked at Fu Yunhe with her clear eyes. Those pupils that looked like crystal clear mountain streams seemed to reflect Fu Yunhe's thoughts. Fu Yunhe was so guilty that he almost dared not look directly. She did.

Han Qixia raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth and said, "Cousin Crane, do you know which herb I want to pick?"

Fu Yunhe was startled, pointed at the gray "thorn" and said: "Isn't it the thorn grass?"

Han Qixia glanced at him with a smile, then knelt down, neatly cut off a section of gray needles with a sickle, and said: "Stonegrass often grows together with a plant called gray soapthorn. The two look very similar at first glance, but the former can be used as medicine, and the latter is just an ordinary plant."

Fu Yunhe took a closer look and found that the gray "thorns" were indeed mixed with two similar plants.

Han Qixia skillfully cut a section of wattlegrass again, and continued: "And when choosing wattleweed, you must choose the kind with dark green in the gray. This is the kettleweed that is just mature. It is too tender. The medicinal properties are not enough, and it is difficult for people who are too old to be used as medicine..."

As Han Qixia explained, she continued to cut the walnut grass, and soon she had picked a lot of walnut grass.
