Xia do not stay

Chapter 278
On the city of Youzhou.

General Mingwei Yang Lie frowned, looking at the bustling people outside the city, there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"General, do you want to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate?"

a soldier asked.

Yang Lie took a deep breath, unable to make a decision for a while.

Once the suspension bridge is lowered, it will take a lot of time to raise it again. During this period of time, if barbarians invade in large numbers, it will be dangerous.

Even if the city gate can be closed, the moat that has been dug so hard will be considered useless.

But if you don't open the door...

Some people who were running fast had already reached the edge of the moat, shouting loudly, and some even jumped into the river and swam across.

Seeing Yang Lie's hesitation, a man who looked like a civil servant next to him said, "Open the city gate!"

This person's name is Cui Jue, and he is the magistrate of Youzhou, and his status is only under the prefect (zhizhou).

Cui Jue Ning said: "Today, I inspected the city wall on a whim, and just happened to encounter this matter. Since General Yang dare not make the decision, then I will make the decision and open the city gate!"

Yang Lie wanted to say something.

Cui Jue waved his hand and said: "I understand your concerns, but there are no barbarians around here, okay, go and open the city gate!"

Yang Lie nodded, and under the order, the city gate slowly opened and the suspension bridge slowly lowered.

"Don't open the city gate!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded, and then a figure flew to the city wall, it was Chu Nan.

There was a crimson glow in Chu Nan's eyes, and he looked around with an extremely dignified expression.

"We were fooled, the barbarian army is ambushing behind!"

Yang Lie and Cui Jue's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

The next moment, countless barbarian soldiers crawled out of the lakes and rivers in the distance, and a large group of cavalry rushed out of the mountains and valleys, rushing towards Youzhou City like a tide.

Yang Lie immediately ordered: "Close the city gate and raise the bridge!"

"Wait a minute!"

Cui Jue stopped and said: "The gate is closed at this time, what should these people do? I think we should continue to open the gate, let the people in first and then close the city gate, there should be time!"

Yang Lie glanced at him in disbelief, and said angrily: "Lord Cui, you are risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city. The barbarians have planned it for a long time, we must not fall for it!"

Cui Jue still persisted, with an excited expression.

Yang Lie became angry, and said decisively: "Send my military order, close the city gate!"

The suspension bridge rose again, and the city gate slowly closed.

Cui Jue said angrily: "Look at the people below, Yang Lie, you are an executioner!"

Yang Lie took a deep breath, and said lightly: "The prefect has given me the full authority to defend the city, and the magistrate, please go down and rest."

It seemed calm, but his hands were clenched tightly, and his nails were pierced into the flesh.

Chu Nan suddenly said, "Maybe I have a way to get the best of both worlds."

Yang Lie lifted his spirits, looked at the young man who suddenly appeared and was strong in martial arts, and asked, "What can the young hero do?"

Looking at the billowing smoke and dust, Chu Nan heard the wailing of the common people, his eyes were deep.

"Open the city gate, I'll help you out for a while."

Yang Lie stared at him closely, looking at his young face, this sixteen or seventeen year old boy now has a bit of blood and iron.

"Who are you?"

"Chunan."

Yang Lie's eyes lit up, and he said, "Are you Gu Daxia's big disciple?"

"Exactly."

Yang Lie gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "If Gu Daxia is here, I, Yang Lie, would like to gamble with him, but..."

After all, Chu Nan was just Gu Yang's apprentice. If Gu Yang was here, with his peerless martial arts, it might not be impossible for one person to stop thousands of troops alone.

Chu Nan sighed softly and said, "I understand."

He didn't say any complaints. In fact, he didn't even have confidence in himself. He was only at the third rank, and he had only cultivated to the eighth level of the Nine Suns Divine Art. Not to mention tens of thousands of barbarian troops, even if they were thousands, he might not be able to stop them.

It is correct for Yang Lie to do so.

Chu Nan turned around and was about to fly down the city wall.

"Young man, why not stay in Youzhou City?"

Yang Lie persuaded, he really couldn't bear to watch such a young talent die here.

Chu Nan didn't look back, leaving only one sentence.

"I brought them here."

After saying these words, he flew down the city wall. Under the bloody setting sun, his back was both desolate and firm.

Yang Lie clenched the handle of the knife tightly and didn't speak. For a long time, he looked at Chu Nan's back, with his right hand clenched and hammered on his chest.

This is a military salute.

……

Chu Nan came to the city and looked at Bai Ying with a hint of shame in his eyes.

"elder brother……"

Bai Ying pulled his sleeve tightly, as if her brother would leave in the next moment.

"Bai Ying, good boy, you go to the city and wait for me first, just like before."

Bai Ying shook her head, unwilling to live or die.

Chu Nan suddenly hit her with a palm, lifted her up with gentle palm force, flew to the city wall, and was grabbed by Yang Lie.

Chu Nan took one last deep look at Bai Ying, as if he wanted to engrave her image in his heart.

He pulled out the purple gold knife, stroked the blade like autumn water, and smiled.

"Master gave you to me. Along the way, we killed the wicked, punished evil ways, and cut down barbarians. Chu did not treat you badly."

He took a sip of fine wine and said with a smile: "Old man, let's be presumptuous one last time, haha!"

Look up to the sky and laugh, draw your sword and kill the thief!
When the national crisis is imminent, the man should die!
The only thing he felt guilty about was that he broke his promise and couldn't continue to take care of her.

Chu Nan got on his horse, pulled the rein, and rushed towards the barbarian army. Behind him were twelve riders. They did not speak, but fought side by side, life and death.

The thirteen riders were like a small stone thrown into the turbulent sea, with only a tiny splash of water.

At this moment, Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.

……

Bai Ying watched on the city wall sobbing, if Yang Lie hadn't held her tightly, she might have flown down the city wall.

The brother she loved and relied on the most was buried in the sea of ​​people in an instant.

Half of the thirteen riders were instantly pierced by spears.

However, a golden light lit up, and then a huge sword gang emerged. This sword seemed to fuse thousands of sword moves into one style, and it fell down with a bang like a world-opening momentum.

Divine knife cut!
Dozens of heads flew up, still with astonishment in their eyes.

Yang Lie slapped violently and said excitedly: "Good saber technique, good saber technique!"

He broke the armor of nearly a hundred people with one sword, and they were all the most agile cavalry. He had never heard of this sword, and he was astonished.

Then several equally astonishing saber lights lit up, countless heads flew up, fell to the ground like raindrops, and were smashed to pieces by the horseshoes behind.

Chu Nan was almost insane, Nine Suns' true energy gushed out like a volcano, and the swords and knives were all slashed with magic knives.

However, the spears, bows and arrows of the barbarians fell on his gold body, but they could not leave any traces.

At this moment, Chu Nan blocked most of the barbarian cavalry almost by himself.

Yang Lie's eyes moved, Chu Shaoxia really deserves to be Gu Yang's disciple, his martial arts are so high, if he can maintain this state, I'm afraid he can delay until he opens the city gate and let the common people in!
But Bai Ying suddenly cried and said: "Brother Master said that although the Nine Suns Divine Kungfu returns Qi quickly, it should not be consumed too much before it has been cultivated to perfection, otherwise it will be difficult to regenerate the true Qi, and you will die from exhaustion!"

"Hurry up and save brother, hurry up and save him!"

Yang Lie was shocked.
