After Lin Manliu and his party escaped several military disasters, they finally met up with Li Yanhe who occupied the south gate tower.
Under Li Yanhe's words, everyone roughly learned about the current war situation in Dongdu.
First, the "Fugui" of the Northern Yan King's army broke through the east gate of the town, and then led the troops to destroy the "King Kong".
Then Zheng Kuan, Zhou Biao and others led the original Dongdu garrison to capture one side of Guangyang Gate, and in order to capture the south gate tower, they first conquered the city.
Following closely behind were the subordinates of King Beiyan, who had been led by Yan Farewell, and rushed straight to the Kaiyang Gate.
It took about half an hour to completely tear open a hole in Kaiyang Gate, allowing the South Gate Tower to be taken further.
And during Yan Farewell's operation, Ye Dangting went to help.
Finally, there was the Southern Cavalry led by Li Yanhe. After successive gains at Guangyang and Kaiyang, he also launched a general attack on Yongqiao Avenue.
In front of a stick of incense, the Southern Allied Forces breached the south gate tower of the Eastern Capital and completely occupied the southern city wall of the Eastern Capital.
Lin Manliu actually heard about the whereabouts of the old liar during Li Yanhe's review introduction, which made the young man particularly curious.
For what purpose would the old liar go to the front line alone...
Lin Manliu asked aloud: "When he went to Kaiyangmen to help out, did he tell General Li what he was doing?"
Li Yanhe shook his head and said: "When I heard that I was leaving, I just said that I was going to help in the battle, and did not explain anything else..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood. Even Li Yanhe didn't believe it. Ye Dangting went alone just to help Yanbie.
Yue Hanzhi tugged at the corner of Lin Manliu's clothes, and when the young man turned back to look at her, Yue Hanzhi gave him a wink.
Lin Manliu understood immediately and quickly shook his head at Yue Hanzhi.
Yue Hanzhi was guessing whether Ye Dang's move was related to Que Xie, and whether he was planning to secretly meet Ye Chengzhu and others in the Kaiyangmen area.
Lin Manliu knew the old liar best. As long as he and Ye Chengzhu had negotiated, they would not need to meet again no matter how far things progressed.
Just like him and Lu Fengbai, even if one of them is in charge of Yijian Villa and the other is forced to go north to hide from others, the two of them can work together without sending any letters at all.
He was like this with Lu Fengbai, and it was the same with Ye Chengzhu.
The chess game between them had already begun that night when the boat was floating across the lake in Yangzhou.
From now on, no matter whether the black stone is placed or the white stone is picked up, there is no need for any communication.
So there must be other reasons for Ye Dangting's unusual behavior this time...
Just as Lin Manliu was trying to recall whether he had made any omissions, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Li Yanhe heard the sound and looked around, but before the person outside the door showed up, he spoke.
"If it's a frontline military situation, just state it directly!"
Everyone looked for Li Yanhe, and the figure outside the door finally appeared. Sure enough, it was the scout who came to report the military situation.
The military intelligence spy spoke out: "General Guan Xiao has led his men to the gates of the inner city. The counterattack in the inner city is gaining momentum... General Guan must be asked to retreat..."
Li Yanhe heard the news and thought about it for a while.
He said aloud: "General Guan Xiao has his own sense of discretion. We must not give the other side a chance to breathe at this moment. In order to avoid making the same mistake again, we need to send more manpower to support General Guan Xiao!"
The "repeat the past mistakes" mentioned by Li Yanhe was naturally referring to what happened after the Zhendongmen city was destroyed.
After the vanguard of King Beiyan's army successfully entered the outer city, they began to prepare to demolish the King Kong.
In terms of results, although the demolition was successful, in terms of the process, it seemed that there were heavy losses.
No one expected that the thief's killing move was not in the hands of the "King Kong", but in the hands of the surrounding soldiers.
If Jun Feiyu hadn't personally led his troops there, I'm afraid the vanguard of the siege would have been killed!
After hearing Li Yanhe's order, the military intelligence spies immediately shouted "The last general takes orders", then exited the south gate tower and began to march towards the garrison position.
Lin Manliu heard that Guan Xiao was outside the inner city at this moment, and immediately thought of the Fire Ox Crossbow accessories they had hidden in the drainage channel.
He spoke out: "General Li, when we were escaping, we found a large number of standard crossbow accessories in a drainage channel near the inner city!"
When Li Yanhe heard this, he immediately thought of his words when he returned to the garrison camp.
"But where is the location of Commander Yan's mark?"
Lin Manliu responded: "Well, it is indeed there... Presumably the war started at that time, so no one was there to guard it. If it is needed in the future, you can go and transport it out."
Li Yanhe nodded and said: "Later, a message can be sent to General Guan Xiao, so that some of the Hebei soldiers led by him can be activated first..."
Lin Manliu said: "We have rested enough. We must be clearer about the city's defenses than the soldiers, and our targets must be much smaller. We can be the messengers later!"
Just as Li Yanhe was about to refuse, he saw the young man in front of him cupping his fists and saluting.
He had no choice but to say aloud: "Man six... I have grown up..."
Lin Manliu immediately showed a smile, raised his arms and said, "General Li, Manliu is seventeen this year! He is already an adult!"
As the young man spoke, he turned around and looked at Yue Hanzhi on one side. Seeing this, the woman in blue had already looked away.
You have to tell everyone you meet, you are seventeen, right?
You can be as naive as you are...
Li Yanhe said: "Then you will go and send a message to General Xiao, but you must remember to protect your own safety and don't act out of anger!"
Lin Manliu responded: "Manliu understands!"
After receiving the order, the young man took Yue Hanzhi and Ning Ke out of the tower together.
At this moment, Shen Yutong was chatting with Hua Jin and Wuji, and watched Lin Manliu and others withdraw from them.
Shen Yutong stood up, forced out a look of anger, raised his hand and made a fist to hit the young man on the shoulder.
Lin Manliu did not dodge and allowed Shen Yutong to strike at will, but the punch stopped half an inch away from his shoulder.
Shen Yutong withdrew his fist and said aloud: "If you still act so rashly in the future, when I meet Mr. Mo, I will let him punish you!"
He knew that neither Master Ye nor Master Lu could do anything to the junior brother Lin in front of him.
Only Mr. Mo, who is traveling abroad, can take care of Lin Manliu.
Lin Manliu hurriedly confessed: "Senior Brother Shen, Manliu knows he was wrong! But don't let Mr. Mo punish me... And Meng Xiuyan came to the door in person, otherwise I will have to follow the original plan My plan is to meet up with the two senior brothers as soon as possible..."
Shen Yutong listened to the young man's explanation, and his expression just softened a little.
As a result, Ning Ke, who was not far away, sighed for no reason.
"I'm talking about Yue Nu Xia... Look at this person, his face won't turn red even if he lies, so be more careful in the future!"
Hearing these words, Shen Yutong's expression suddenly became strange.
Lin Man glared at Ning Ke for six times and hurriedly waved in the direction of Shen and Tong.
"Senior Brother Shen, please listen to me and explain again... No, please listen to me and explain again?"
Shen and his colleagues made a decision and said: "That's enough! When I meet Mr. Mo in the future, I will definitely have a good talk with him!"
Lin Manliu looked at Yue Hanzhi without tears, and the woman in blue turned her head to look in the direction of Ning Ke.
She said aloud: "It seems that I have to discipline him well in the future, otherwise I won't know when I was deceived."
Ning Ke nodded and said: "That's right! Brother Lin has already performed a painful drama, but are you ready to leave?"
When Lin Manliu glanced at Ning Ke who was speaking, he looked like he was gritting his teeth.
Ning Ke immediately patted his chest, as if he was frightened.
She said aloud: "Yue Nu Xia, save me! Yue Nu Xia, hurry up and stop him!"
Lin Manliu turned and looked back at Shen Yutong, who also heard that they had something important to do.
Shen Yutong said: "Go early and come back early. Have a safe journey!"
Lin Manliu hummed, and saluted Shen, Tong, Hua Jin, and Wu Ji with fists in their hands.
Yue Hanzhi stood behind the young man and hugged the three of them. Then he followed Lin Manliu and started walking into the city.
Ning Ke acted more casually, waved to the three of them, put his hands behind his head, and walked down the tower in a swagger.
Everyone returned together and three people came out together.
When they came, there were a group of people from Yi Jian Villa hiding in the swill bucket. When they left, only Lin Manliu, Yue Hanzhi, and Ning Ke were left.
They followed the route they had taken before escaping and returned, walking through the streets of Dongdu again. Due to the reduction in the number of people, the three of them were traveling faster than before.
Ning Ke suddenly said: "Yue Nu Xia, I wonder if you have ever heard Brother Lin say that the days when he was hiding in Yuezhou are so similar to now!"
Yue Hanzhi didn't make a sound, but just ran forward quickly.
Lin Manliu, who was beside him, coughed and said: "Ahem...Brother Ning doesn't need to do these detached actions. I have already told Hanzhi about everything."
Ning Ke snorted and continued: "It's not your place to talk to Yuenvxia and I, I'll drive you on your way!"
After saying that, the white-robed scholar stepped forward and gradually caught up with Yue Hanzhi's pace.
She said aloud: "Men in this world will always hide something in their hearts. Yue Nuxia is really not curious. Brother Lin is hiding something from you?"
Yue Hanzhi stopped and looked at Ning Ke, who was not far behind her. She finally spoke.
"He said what he should say and didn't say what he shouldn't. It has nothing to do with me."
When Ning Ke heard this reply, half of the proud look on his face disappeared.
But she would never give up the bad taste in her heart because of such a response. When Yue Hanzhi continued to rush forward, she immediately kept up with the opponent's pace.
When the distance between the two was close again, she started talking again.
"Yue Nu Xia is like the Mountain Wilderness hanging around Brother Lin's waist. Are you curious?"
Yue Hanzhi replied calmly: "I'm not curious..."
Ning Ke spoke again: "So Lu Qing from Fengxue Grand View Tower, when she and Lin Manliu talked, it didn't look like ordinary people chatting. Are you curious?"
Yue Hanzhi still looked the same as before and responded: "I'm not curious..."
Ning Ke heard the same answer, and his whole body flew forward, almost missing the mark.
Fortunately, she had a unique technique of stepping on her left foot and her right foot, so that she could stabilize her figure, otherwise she would have been in embarrassment.
Ning Ke decided that he had to give Yue Hanzhi a big one, otherwise Lin Manliu behind him would definitely be very proud!
The white-robed scholar strode forward and stopped Yue Hanzhi on the spot.
She pointed to the young man behind and said, "Yue Nu Xia, when we were in the garrison camp earlier, he and Xia Huan had a very close relationship. Are you curious?"
Yue Hanzhi turned around and glanced at Lin Manliu, who was about to warn Ning Ke to stop talking nonsense.
As a result, he saw the woman in blue turning back to look at him. The young man immediately stood up and raised his hand to scratch his head.
Yue Hanzhi spoke out: "As Manliu said, things between us have been explained clearly, so the things you said, Ning Ke, are of no importance to me."
Lin Manliu took a step forward and stood side by side with Yue Hanzhi.
He spoke out: "Ning Ke, I know you just want to liven up the atmosphere, but now that we are working together, I hope we can talk about other things..."
Ning Ke looked at the unanimous tone of the two people in front of him, and the smile disappeared from his face.
Lin Manliu, you know nothing!
She turned around and walked toward the inner city, and finally said: "Keep on going, it's pointless!"
