The river water was surging, and nothing was left except those ripples. The cold river water came from afar and flowed into the distance, leaving nothing behind and taking nothing away.

Zhang Er was also stunned. He did not expect that Liu Ji would choose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water at this moment. The disaster has been eliminated, leaving only one person. Zhang Er was overjoyed. No matter how good this man is in martial arts, he will never be able to fly.

Lu Wan stared at the Sishui River in a daze and was stunned. When the sound of soldiers fighting again came from behind, Lu Wan turned around suddenly, her eyes were covered with bloodshot, full of hatred and resentment.

"I'll kill you--!"

Zhang Er shook his eyes so much that he shrank, and his heart was actually covered with a sense of timidity. Lu Wan's folding fan suddenly waved, and instantly, a row of soldiers' necks sprinkled with blood several feet high, and fell down together. Zhang Er was shocked, not expecting that this man's martial arts could be so cruel!

Lu Wan's move at this time was completely different from what he had just done. His moves were killer moves and there was no room for retention. Zhang Er realized at this moment that the man had not done his best.

At this time, not far from the army array, Xiao He stood in white clothes on a small hill, looking at the thousands of silver-armored troops with a sad expression.

"Young Master Xiao, the brothers from the third team are back." A man in black knelt at his feet and said respectfully.

Xiao He nodded, he looked up at the sky and estimated the time: "After half of the incense stick, let the brothers of the fifth team and the ninth team attack the east and west sides of the queue, and then spend half of the incense stick, and concentrate on attacking the north side."

"Yes!" The killer in black took his order and left.

Xiao He looked at the loess in front of him and Lu Wan who was fighting hard in the army, and a trace of pain flashed through his eyes. He slowly closed his eyes, unable to bear to look at Lu Wan's painful figure again.

"Liu Ji, next, it's up to you..."

Xiao He murmured in a low voice. He looked at the sky again, sighed, sat on the ground, and placed the guqin beside him on his lap.

"I passed my order, and the sound of the piano has not stopped. I will never give up! Fight to the death and defend my hometown to the death!"

The powerful sound of the piano pierced through the sky, and the "speechless" killers knelt on one knee, with a stern face. They held the weapons in their hands tightly and rushed towards the soldiers. The sound of fighting and fighting gradually decreased, and finally disappeared and could no longer be heard. A person suddenly rushed out of the calm Sishui River. Liu Ji climbed onto the shore in soaked body, covered the wound on his shoulders, and lay by the river, gasping for breath.

He looked at the sky with his eyes empty. The scene just now was vivid in his mind, and the wound on his shoulder ached faintly. Liu Ji took a deep breath, and it seemed that night sounded in his ears. Xiao He called him alone and said to him.

"You really have thought about it and want to fight to the death?" Xiao He frowned and looked serious.

Liu Ji nodded firmly: "This is the only way."

Xiao He shook his head, and he took Liu Ji to the side of the map, pointed to a place and said, "Although there are no soldiers or soldiers in Pei County, there are thousands of people here. If you want to use them for our own use, why should Chen Shengjun worry about not retreating?"

Liu Ji looked at the point where Xiao He pointed, and there were three words "Mangdang Mountain".

Liu Ji's expression was shocked, his heart skipped a beat, and he was a little surprised: "What do you mean is that you want me to go to Mangdang Mountain to bring reinforcements?"

Xiao He nodded.

Liu Ji was a little moved. After all, if he could go to Mangdang Mountain, he could save Qiqi and let her return to his side. Moreover, not only that, the bandits in Mangdang Mountain should not be underestimated. If they could really be used by him, not only Chen Shengjun could retreat, but Qiqi could also be rescued. Tens of thousands of refugees in Pei County could also have a new place to settle down, which can be said to be a kill of three birds with one stone.

But can this really be done to hold Chen Shengjun in such a short time and to recover the troops in Mangdang Mountain?

Xiao He saw Liu Ji's concerns and sighed and said, "Indeed, this matter is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die without a burial place. But now we are at a loss except here."

"Since that's the case, let Lu Wan go to Mangdang Mountain. He has visited the enemy's situation before and should be very familiar with it. I'll hold Chen Shengjun back." Liu Ji said after pondering.

Xiao He shook his head, looking a little painful: "...No, he can't go. Lu Wan's martial arts achievements have surpassed you. He is the only one who can hold Chen Shengjun."

"But, how can Lu Wan alone block Chen Sheng's 20,000 army?" Liu Ji was still worried. Even if Lu Wan's martial arts skills were high, he was still alone after all, and it was impossible for him to stop so many people.

Xiao He looked at Liu Ji deeply, paused, and then said slowly: "So, you must pretend to die."

"Farewell to death?" Liu Ji was surprised.

Xiao He nodded and turned his back, looking very painful. He wanted to deceive Lu Wan, which made him feel extremely distressed, but in order to win, he had to do this.

"Although Lu Wan has high martial arts skills, he is casual by nature and is not willing to do his best. Only by witnessing your death can he stimulate all his strength. Moreover, your death can also make the soldiers who are "speaking" fight to the death. Only by doing this can we delay time to the maximum extent."

Liu Ji was silent. Although Xiao He's plan was a bit cunning, it was indeed the best way to bring a glimmer of hope at the moment. But if Lu Wan knew that Xiao He had planned to him like this, how would Lu Wan's heart be in pain?

Xiao He did not turn around, Liu Ji was speechless. He knew that Xiao He had the courage and pain that he had to make this decision. I am afraid that only he could understand the torment that Xiao He had endured in his heart.

After a long silence, Liu Ji nodded slowly: "Okay."
