Outside Jialing City, thousands of miles north of the city, there are noisy and bustling wine shops in a small town in Li Tang.?

The official road not far from the restaurant leads to the north, but when the wind and snow are mixed, there are few pedestrians coming and going. In addition, the first year is approaching, so there are no merchants leaving.

When they were free, the people around them ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes in the wine shop, roasting the stove, talking nonsense, waiting for darkness to return home.

The next day is another day, and the end of the year is the most leisurely time.

At least the news of the Huns' invasion has not yet reached here.

"hiss!"

In the cold wind, a sound of horses sounded, and the people who were chatting in the winery stopped. The bragging for several days had already revealed the few insights of everyone. Now that I heard the sound of horses sounded, it was obvious that outsiders raised their interests.

Maybe I can watch it some fun.

While everyone was looking around in the tavern, the worn blanket hanging at the door was lifted open. A thin figure walked in, and did not sit on the empty wooden bench. He said straight to the room, "My man, give me ten sesame cakes!"

The person who came was covered in dust and had a tired face. His eyes were covered with blood, but he thought he had been rushing for several days and was extremely tired.

Before the snowflakes on the black jacket were slapped, the visitor took off the water bag on his waist, threw it to the shopkeeper, and continued, "Give me another two kilograms of wine, the more intense the better!"

After saying that, he stood there, pursing his lips and not speaking.

Soon, the guy brought the cake and wine bag. The man in black coat directly fed the wine, bit a piece of cake, put the remaining cake in a small package behind him, threw the silver and walked out.

"You said, what's wrong these days? With such heavy snow, there are so many people going north?"

After a brief silence, he looked at the person in black coat and left behind. The man wrapped in a coarse cloth cotton coat shook the black pottery cup in his hand, swung the slightly cloudy wine, and asked with the person sitting with him.

"Yes, I'll be the first year of my life in two or three days. Why are you going to the north?"

Another person agreed in confusion.

"You don't understand this..."

When the man next to the table saw him successfully attracting his eyes with him, he lowered his voice with a little joy, "The group of people were dressed the same as you and me a while ago, but the fierce aura on their bodies was not something that ordinary people could have, it is said to be..."

I don’t know if it was because of the fear in my heart or deliberately keeping it in hiding, but this person lowered his voice again, “It is said that it is the flying armor in the capital. You must know that the disaster in the north and the cold bones, how can the people bear it? Now that the flying armor comes out, it will definitely be a big deal. But this person has an extraordinary temperament, it will soon get dark, and the wind and snow are getting faster, but he has to rush on the road non-stop, afraid that he is a person sent by the court again…”

"Can you have a refugee livelihood in the north?"

Someone was anxious and said immediately. Perhaps he noticed that his voice was a little loud, the speaker quickly looked out, but when he saw it, he was shocked. The man in the black jacket who was about to walk out of the door had already arrived in front of him with half a piece of unfinished cake in his hand.

"A group of people went to the north?"

It was indeed a person from the court. He had a trembling momentum while speaking. The person who had pretended to behave before stuttered first, "Big... sir, please spare your life, the small... the small just chewed some tongue..."

The man in black jacket was a little impatient and slapped his hands on the table, "Speak quickly!"

The latter nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "The little one said, a few days ago, at noon, about four or five hundred people passed by here. The little one leaned against the window and opened the curtain and took a look."

The man with black jacket frowned and murmured, "Since I received the news, I have been traveling all the way from Xinyang City, but I have not heard of any state government sending troops to help. Which team will be there?"

After saying this, the man from the black jacket ignored the little people begging for mercy. He walked out of the restaurant and rode his horse and quickly left.

"Shh..."

The scared person in the restaurant touched the cold sweat on his forehead. Seeing that the people around him were not making fun of his cowardly appearance, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He reached out to the table, trying to pick up the cup and drink a few sips of wine to slowly slow down the fear that had not yet faded.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the wooden table, the wooden table fell apart in an uproar. He was so shocked that all the people sitting next to him jumped up immediately and looked to the north, with a look of courage in his eyes.

"My man, check out!"

Before the person in the winery could come back from his shock, a voice came from the corner. The man said, threw down a piece of silver, and then stood up and walked out with a mouthful of xylophone beside the table.

At this time, everyone saw that the person who left seemed not afraid of the cold. He was just wearing white clothes and slender figure, with a hat on his head, and couldn't see his appearance clearly. The xylophone in his arms was a little charred at the end, and his ten fingers holding the piano were quite slender, as delicate as the lady who was not touching the spring water.

When the man in white left the restaurant, a man by the window picked up the curtains and glanced at the direction he left, and couldn't help but whisper, "Why, are you going north?"

After saying this, the rest of the people also poked their heads over, but besides the increasingly violent wind and snow, where was there a half-person figure outside?

However, these are irrelevant to the people in the wine shop. After all, no matter how chaotic the North is, it will not affect their comfortable life. They crouched and picked up the black pottery cup, and continued to drink bad wine while making a fabricated talk about the North.

In the distance, above the official road, there was another journey of wind and snow in the evening, and the pedestrians were in a hurry.

Under the night, the wind roared, the snowflakes were as big as hairs. Liu Xi's back was wet. The battles over the past few days made him physically and mentally exhausted, his eyes were swollen, and his lips were also dry and cracked. After licking his tongue, he felt a piercing pain.

On this day, the Huns repelled, but most of the catapult carts and crossbows were damaged. Even if the craftsmen rushed to make the equipment overnight, it would be difficult to repair the damaged equipment. As for creating new ones, it would be even more difficult.

So, tomorrow will be hard to bear.

"well……"

He sighed again, as if he wanted to vomit out all the panic that was suppressed in his chest. He had been persisting for five days, and the people in the city had also evacuated, but there were only a few defenders in the city.

After all, being able to persist for five days is already a matter of doing everyone's efforts. The catapult cart and the crossbow can withstand the attack of the Huns, but if the Taoist disciple Zhang Shaolu intervened, how could these instruments withstand it?

Fortunately, Zhang Shaolu has not appeared in the past few days.

The purple-robed and purple-capped figure brought Liu Xi equal to the pressure of the Huns' 200,000 troops. After all, the city wall can resist the attack of the Huns, but if Zhang Shaolu takes action, the city wall, which is less than five feet high, will not have any effect at all.

Inexplicably, a sense of uneasiness and uneasiness surged into Liu Xi's heart, and he was supported on the frozen bricks and stones of the city wall, and he couldn't help feeling confused.

Under the city, in the Huns camp, Nuhar stood in the tent of the khan, staring at the lights dancing on the lower desk in front of him, and his wide hands subconsciously fiddled with the silver dagger.

"call……"

The leather felt hanging outside the sweat tent was lifted open, and a gust of cold wind brought in with snowflakes, causing the lights to run around with the wind.

Nuhar turned his head and saw the appearance of the visitor. He couldn't help but rush forward and snatched out, "Sir, can you have news about Xia Pi?"

As the king of grassland that dominates the country, Nuhar also has a time to stand up.

Xia Pi City was captured the day before yesterday, and Nuhar also passed the order, ordering Zat to lead his troops to cooperate with the outside world, but until now, no news has been heard. Could it be that the 80,000 troops have had an accident?

Worried, when Nuhar saw Zhang Shaolu returning when he was inquiring about the situation, how could he bear it?

"King Khan, something is not good. The eldest prince and the others seem to have fallen into the trap and have been trapped in the mountains by Li Tang's soldiers."

"What! Zart not only brought many soldiers and horses, but also protected Zen Master Luo Chen by his side. How could he end up in this situation? Also, why didn't he save him?"

Obviously, Nuhar still finds it difficult to believe what Zhang Shaolu said.

"Ahem... King Khan, I can't blame me for this. The eldest prince was greedy for me and became a trap of the Tang people. I have taken action, but a military genius appeared halfway. As for the monk Luo Chen, I'm afraid he will be unable to protect himself. Cough cough..."

At this time, Nuhar realized that Zhang Shaolu, who had always been gentle and elegant, looked a little embarrassed, his face was pale, his purple crown was always neat and slightly messy, and his purple golden robe was even more dilapidated, as if he had been cut apart with a sword.

The thick eyebrows stood up, Nuhar waved his arm suddenly, and the dagger left, inserted it into Zhang Shaolu's cheek, half drowned on the ground one foot away.

"Hmph, when you came to my tent, you agreed to help me go straight, and you also said that Li Tang's prince would cooperate with each other inside and outside, where have these promises gone! Since the military sent experts, why don't you Taoism invite the ancestors here!"

In a rage, Nuhar looked cold and imposing.

But Zhang Shaolu was unmoved at all, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows, "King Khan, I told you about those things. Military affairs were just an accident. But your dignified Xiongnu King led a 200,000 army to attack. After falling, he couldn't even capture a small Yangqu City. Who can I blame?"

As if he was poked into the sore spot, Nuhar pointed at Zhang Shaolu, and was so angry that he couldn't speak, "You..."

With his eyebrows raised, a trace of disdain flashed from the corner of Zhang Shaolu's mouth, "King Khan, the reason why my Taoist sect helped you is just to clean up the Central Plains Sect. Only my mountain gate is the only one. Without you, I have other ways, but you can't take a step away from me! What's more, without the help of my mountain gate master, Zhenren Qiu, wouldn't there be you now!"

The burly body took a few steps back, Nuhar's face turned red and he was panting heavily, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhang Shaolu sneered again, ignoring Nuhar, who was regarded as a genius on the grassland, stroked his hand on the damaged part of his clothes, and a trace of sinister aura flashed between his eyebrows, "I am not a dishonest person. Since I agree to you, I will do my best. I still need to take care of myself tonight and will help you attack the city early tomorrow morning. As long as I take down Yangqu City, Zart and his party will still have hope of survival, and their move to the south will have a chance to succeed."

After saying that, Zhang Shaolu turned around and left. In the sweat tent, Nuhar's face looked gloomy and terrifying.
