"My mother-in-law was originally the daughter of a medicine merchant in Liangcheng. When my father entered Liangzhou, he forcibly visited her. Later, my brother and I were born. Until I was eight years old, I didn't know that my father was the king of Xiliang.

It wasn't until my brother died in infancy and my mother and concubine became terminally ill that my father thought of us as mother and daughter. Although he tried his best to make up for it with rich clothes and good food, my mother and concubine came from a humble background and entered the palace and were ostracized. She died within a year.

So until now, I still hate my father. How can I act recklessly as a royal family member? So, I left the palace early and went to Tianshan to study in order to escape from the home that made me sad, and even that

It’s not even a home.”

Li Xi's eyes were filled with tears when he talked about the past, which was so pitiful.

Yan Yunting hugged her tighter and comforted: "You're okay. At least I've met my parents, but I don't even know what they look like... However, I look so handsome, so my mother must be a

She is a great beauty, and my father must also be a handsome man."

Li Xi smiled through his tears, "I just like your optimistic attitude. Even if the sky falls, you can face it calmly."

"You're wrong. It's not that I don't feel pain, it's just that I can tolerate it better," Yan Yunting said, and then asked: "Then Bai Xi is also a woman?"

Li Xi nodded and said "Yes", "After Baixi became a famous general in Xiliang, she was also a hard-working child like me. My father sent her to go to the mountains with me to learn skills. She can be regarded as my attendant."

"You two, pretending to be men, have ruined a lot of the atmosphere in the Tianshan sect."

"Humph, it's not our fault that we are beautiful."

"But I've always been puzzled. Why are your voices so thick and your chests so... flat when you pretend to be men?"

Her peaks now are completely different from her peaks before.

Li Xi blushed and slapped Yan Yunting's hand away, "Can't I wrap it up?"

"Oh, I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. It's such a waste of resources." Yan Yunting sighed and asked again: "Then shall I call you Li Yu or Li Xi from now on?"

"Of course it's Li Yu. In front of others, I am still the Li Yu who looks like a boy and a girl. I also like to be a man."

"It seems like we can only be brothers from now on."

"Isn't it good to be brothers?"

"It's good, but it's just too good...I would be embarrassed to take off your pants."

"Hate……"

The two looked at each other, smiled, and cuddled up to each other. It was a fateful encounter, a friendship that remained the same after seeing each other again, and sincerity from beginning to end.

…

In the early morning of the next day, a burst of noise woke up Yan Yunting, and he immediately became alert. He was so absorbed in the gentle countryside last night that he almost forgot that he was still in danger.

"Are you awake?" Li Yu stood by the window. She found a set of men's clothes from somewhere and changed into them. She was still as heroic as ever.

"What's going on outside?"

Yan Yunting got up, got dressed and got out of bed, and looked out through the cracks in the window. Rows of skeleton soldiers were escorting countless civilians towards the east city gate.

"It started in the early morning. This is the third batch. There are at least thousands of people." Li Yu said in a low voice.

Yan Yunting frowned and said: "I overheard last night that Wu Xiao and the others seemed to know that Hanzhou would come to help Chang'an, and even claimed that if Liu Jingchi attacked the city, civilians would be used as human shields... I estimate that Hanzhou's army will be

The army has reached the city."

"What should we do?" Li Yu looked at Yan Yunting.

Yan Yunting said: "If I were Liu Jingchi, I would not care about the life and death of these civilians. There are two million people in Chang'an, and I can't kill them all in a short while."

Li Yu kept shaking his head: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Even if Chang'an can be captured in this way, the city will be in pieces and corpses will be everywhere."

Yan Yunting said: "This city has long been in pieces."

Now, both of them are injured, and there is nothing they can do to face the evil deeds of the skeleton soldiers. They can only hide in the house and wait for the opportunity.

The demon soldiers escorted four more batches of civilians to the east city, and then the streets became quiet again, but the fog of war outside the city became thicker and thicker.

No matter who fires the first shot, this war will be a river of blood.

"Cuckoo..." A snow pigeon suddenly landed on the window sill from the sky.

"It's Xiaobai!" Li Yu quickly took the snow pigeon back and kissed the white pigeon gently in excitement. "You are the most reliable little guy at the critical moment." She immediately took out the creed tied to the pigeon's leg and whispered softly.

road:

"Hanzhou's army has arrived at the city. The main force has gathered at the east gate. The demon soldiers are defending the city with a human wall. After discussion with the military department, they decided to give up the small to the large. In an hour, they will attack the city with artillery fire. Junior brother, if you read this letter

, be sure to keep yourself safe, I will come to rescue you after the city is broken... Lu Gengyao, stay."

"Alas...it seems you have guessed everything." Li Yu sighed softly and threw the creed into the brazier.

"Please reply quickly. I have a way to break this situation." Yan Yunting urged.

Li Yu didn't doubt Yan Yunting's idea at all, and hurriedly found pen and ink and stationery: "Hurry, hurry, it's not far away in an hour."

"Just write like this: At three quarters, that is, half an hour later, we will find a way to blow open the city gate and let the army gather a group of heavy cavalry. The experts from all walks of life are ready to charge as soon as the city gate opens.

Go straight to Dongcheng!"

Li Yu was confused: "The gate of Chang'an cannot be easily exploded by artillery shells. How can we explode it?"

Yan Yunting patted his waist and said confidently: "I have a thunderbolt bead. This thing is very powerful. Even if it can't blow up the door, it will definitely blow up the door bolt!"

Li Yu did not hesitate anymore, and hurriedly wrote down the strategy and tied the white dove on the letter paper, "Xiao Bai, the success of this battle depends on you. Come on and fly!"

She threw the snow dove and then asked: "Now, what should we do?"

"Pretend to be a prisoner, get close to the city wall, take the opportunity to blow up the city gate."

"Of course I'm going too!" Li Yu's eyes were eager and determined.

"Can I still tell you not to go?" Yan Yunting said with a bitter smile: "Unload your equipment, don't let those skeleton soldiers see the flaw."

So, the two unloaded their equipment, checked the thunderbolt beads, and walked out of the room.

After taking only a few steps, the patrolling skeleton soldiers discovered the two of them. Without any surprise, they were escorted to the east city gate.

A large number of skeleton soldiers, numbering hundreds of thousands, had gathered under the East City Gate; rows of civilians with their hands bound stood on the wall, acting as human shields.

Yan Yunting and Li Yu were also escorted up the city wall. Looking outside the city, they saw rows of fully armed soldiers stationed on the fertile field fifty feet away. Crossbows, muskets, artillery, chariots, and cavalry were all ready to go.

.

A mighty general wearing golden armor and holding a spear stood in front of the army on horseback. He must be Liu Jingchi, the guard of Hanzhou.

Qing Mingzi, Lu Gengyao and other elders and disciples of the Tianshan Sect drew their swords out of their scabbards.

Everyone was waiting for the explosion under the city gate.
