On the loess city wall, Qingguo grabbed the hand of a Khitan soldier beside him and pressed the scimitar close to the neck of the man who was kneeling on the ground, about thirty years old, with a sallow complexion and a grimace.
Feeling the chill on his neck, the man knew that he couldn't make too big a move, otherwise he would be killed by the scimitar without the Khitan people behind him taking action. But he couldn't control himself, he was just an ordinary person. As a common man with a flat head, facing the threat of death, he could not help himself not to be afraid, nor could he be able to use the edge of a knife without showing signs of shame.
His whole body was trembling, his body was swaying uncontrollably, his hairs were standing on end, and cold sweat continued to break out from his forehead, then flowed down his sallow face, leaving shallow traces, which intensified The fear on the man's face.
His eyes were closed tightly, and he was muttering something silently.
Like men, the long ancient city wall is covered with men and women, old people and children. Without exception, they all have a shining scimitar on their necks, and the scimitar is shining brightly. Under the moonlight, the cold light flickers and shines.
Under the ancient city wall, Li Xingyun had an expressionless face and stared at Qingguo on the wall with cold eyes. A circle of faint golden light bloomed quietly in the child's hole, and two faint wisps of scarlet blood spread from the corners of his eyes.
His left hand made a rattling sound, and the reins rotated little by little with the sound of bone friction, as if he wanted to press the reins into the flesh and blood of his palm. The spear in his right hand trembled slightly, making a harsh trembling sound.
The jet-black armor is clad in cold light, blending into the pitch-black night with the pitch-black horse underneath him, yet different from the night.
He was like a knight stepping out of hell, stepping into the light and emerging into endless darkness.
Suddenly, his right hand slowly raised, and the spear stopped trembling, but the gentle trembling sound continued to echo. One side was dyed with a layer of silvery white light by the bright moonlight, and the other side was rendered into pitch black by the night. It was as if the spear head that had just broken through the yin and yang was pointed at Qingguo.
"You think I can't kill you here?"
Back then, Black and White Wuchang used his junior sister to threaten Uncle Lu, causing Uncle Lu to die in the end, and his junior sister lost her father forever!
At the beginning, Yuan Tiangang used his master to threaten his senior brother. If the senior brother had not endured the hardships, I am afraid that now he would only have his junior sister to depend on!
At the beginning, Zhu Yougui threatened him with Xue'er. If it weren't for his senior brother's feelings and Yuan Tiangang's appearance, he would have become a stepping stone for Zhu Yougui to ascend to the throne.
At the beginning, Zhu Youzhen used Xue'er, his junior sister, and the people of Luzhou to threaten him. If he hadn't had some conscience, and if his senior brother hadn't come to the rescue in the end, wouldn't Xue'er and his junior sister have perished? Wouldn’t it be that there would be corpses everywhere outside Luzhou City?
He hates being threatened the most in his life, and hates people who threaten others the most!
Strong evil aura surged out of Li Xingyun's body like a wave, and frightening murderous intent emerged from his eyes filled with scarlet blood.
"Hiss~"
On the ancient city wall, Qingguo shuddered subconsciously, feeling a little creeped out by the gaze from below.
"Sister, that guy is so cruel and looks so penetrating!"
Qingcheng pinched Orchid's fingers, her sharp voice trembling slightly.
"Sister! Don't be afraid, he, he won't dare to charge at you!"
Having said that, Qingguo subconsciously let go of the Khitan soldier's hand and retracted it.
However, he still had a tough mouth and said to himself: "If he dares to rush up, we will kill him!"
I don't know why, but it was clearly a threat, but it gave people the impression that she was the one being threatened.
"Hiss~"
The war horse under Li Xingyun was also stimulated by the evil spirit permeating his body, and became very restless. He raised his head and roared, but he did not dare to make any mistakes, but his breathing became very heavy, as if he had just run. Like a fast horse that has completed eight hundred miles.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise sounded in the sky.
Immediately, except for the common people who were kneeling on the ground like lambs waiting to be slaughtered with steel knives on their necks, almost everyone on the ancient city wall raised their heads and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
toward the sky.
I saw a dazzling pattern emerging in the night sky, the dazzling red light covering the twinkling stars, extremely eye-catching!
Those are warning fireworks for bad people. The red color represents danger. Anyone who sees it should retreat immediately.
The next moment, a cavalryman came forward, but before he could get close to Li Xingyun, the horse under him began to become restless, spinning in circles, not daring to move forward no matter what.
Helpless, the cavalryman had no choice but to try to calm the restless war horse while reminding Li Xingyun: "Your Highness, it's time to retreat!"
Li Xingyun withdrew his gaze from the warning fireworks in the sky and stared at the ancient city wall. The trembling figures and fearful faces of the people were deeply imprinted in his mind. His cold eyes scanned the ancient city wall mercilessly. The Khitan man looked at him as coldly as if he were looking at a dead person.
After a long time, Li Xingyun gently closed his eyes and opened them again. Although his eyes were still extremely cold, the scarlet blood escaping from the corners of his eyes had disappeared.
"Huh~"
Taking a deep breath, Li Xingyun suppressed his heavy heart and shouted sternly: "Retreat!"
······
Not far from the ancient city of King Yu, on a small hill, five figures riding war horses were looking at the ancient city of King Yu quietly through the cover of the steep slope of the hill.
They are the five men who broke away from Yelu Yaoguang's main Khitan army, Yelu Huandan, Yelu Huxie, Yelu Lulie, Yaojian Nuer, and Da Hehuan. Behind them, behind this small hill, was a dense mass of darkness. It was the five thousand elites they brought.
"Huan Dan, now we are waiting for the killers to go out and attack the two princesses from inside and outside. We will definitely annihilate this cavalry!"
Yelu Lulie looked at Yelu Huandan and said excitedly.
"You don't need the cooperation of the two princesses. It's just three thousand cavalry. It's easy to eat them!"
Yao Jian Nuer raised his hand and clenched his fist. It seemed that the three thousand Fengdu Ghost Riders under King Yu's ancient city were already in his pocket.
The rest of them, Yelu Huxie and Da He Huan, also looked at Yelu Huandan. Among the five, Yelu Huandan had the best relationship with Generalissimo Yelu Yaoguang, so they subconsciously regarded Yelu Huandan as their backbone.
Based on their experience, it is not difficult to deduce that the number of cavalry under King Yu's ancient city will not exceed three thousand.
With this number, even if the two princesses in King Yu's ancient city did not cooperate, they could easily win with the five thousand cavalry behind them.
But Yelu Huandan shook his head gently and said faintly: "Everyone, please don't forget the Generalissimo's order!"
After a pause, he glanced at the four people with a gloomy and serious look.
"The enemy hasn't attacked the city wall yet, so I can't wait to show up!"
