Jiaochu

Chapter 462 Siege
Towards evening, Yan Fei came back with a serious expression. Ye Lingxi asked him what happened, but Yan Fei couldn't hide it from her and told the truth.

Xiuzhou rebelled.

Ye Lingxi was eager to know the safety of her uncle's family, so she decided to go to Xiuzhou to negotiate with Liu Xin in person. Yanfei said that the other party was worried about not being able to catch anyone, so she went to the door herself first, and her tone of voice was a bit mean. She was also like this The disregard for one's own safety pissed people off.

Ye Lingxi was also annoyed. Both of them were annoyed and neither spoke.

After a while, she heard a sigh, and her heart softened a bit, but she still kept silent. When she saw the helpless smile on the corner of Yan Fei's mouth, she was no longer upset. Yan Fei suddenly turned his head and coughed. After making two noises, she looked tense and asked him if he was injured. The next moment, he took him into his arms. She struggled for a few times and stopped struggling. She thought, forget it, men are all about face, so give it to her. Just go down the stairs.

"Over in Xiuzhou, the Long Shadow Guards are already inquiring about General Lin. I will tell you as soon as I have news." Yan Fei discussed in a gentle tone.

Ye Lingxi hummed, and she realized that she was really a soft-spoken person.

Yan Fei said his next plan and divided his troops into four groups to return to the capital. Two of them were disguises, Ye Lingxi and He He Ling Dang were one group, Aunt Qiu, Bai Hu and Xiao Anzi were the other group. Ye Lingxi was worried about the future. Aunt Qiu and Xiao Anzi's current physical condition cannot withstand the long journey. Yan Fei thought for a while and asked Ye Lingxi to leave first and leave tonight. He would leave four Long Shadow Guards behind until Aunt Qiu and Xiao Anzi recovered their health before leaving.

Leaving tonight, Ye Lingxi felt that it was too hasty, but she also understood Yanfei's intention of not giving the enemy time to make arrangements. If he waited for the enemy to set up a dragnet to catch her, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Just in case, Yan Fei planned to tell Aunt Qiu, Bai Hu and Xiao Anzi the truth after departure. Ye Lingxi did not object to Yan Fei's caution. It would be better if she kept the news from the three of them. If the news leaked out, it would avoid mutual suspicion. However, if she left without saying a word with He He and Ling Dang, the three of them would know if they knew it. I would blame her. Bai Hu shouldn't be careless. Xiao Anzi is an individual and a bit elusive. When she went to visit Aunt Qiu before, Aunt Qiu was eager to return to the capital as soon as possible. If she knew that she had left first, she would probably Feeling a little uncomfortable, she could only wait until things were over before she could find a way to remedy it.

However, the other party's movements were faster than both of them expected.

When it was getting dark, the two groups of people were ready. Yan Fei was waiting in the yard. Ye Lingxi had just left the room with He He and Bell, when a Dragon Shadow Guard came over to report that He Shun was here and there was something urgent.

He Shun was waiting in the lobby, looking anxious. When he saw Yanfei coming out, he hurried over and told him something. The military camp in the suburbs was attacked and the granary was burned down. He was worried that someone would attack the city at night, so he didn't say anything yet. After saying that, a soldier hurried over to report that someone was attacking the city. General Ji Chang had already led his men there.

Yan Fei asked a Long Shadow Guard to report the situation to Ye Lingxi, and he rushed to the city gate with He Shun.

When he learned that someone was attacking the city, Ye Lingxi's first thought was Lu Yan and asked the Long Shadow Guards to quickly find out the enemy's general and number of people. After Long Yingwei left, she told Hehe and Lingdang to keep it a secret and not to mention the matter to others. Hehe and Lingdang nodded in agreement, feeling very sad in their hearts.

A quarter of an hour later, the Dragon Shadow Guard hurriedly returned to the post house and reported to Ye Lingxi that the enemy general was called Xu Xiong and that he had brought more than 5,000 troops, which was twice as many as the defenders in the city.

Just as Long Yingwei finished reporting, there was suddenly a booming sound from a distance. Ye Lingxi felt the doors and windows behind her shake. She immediately thought it was gunpowder. It seemed that the other party was well prepared. There was such a loud noise. She could feel it. The city gate was probably blown through.

Immediately afterwards, four more Dragon Shadow Guards and a group of defenders rushed back. Ye Lingxi asked how the situation was. A Dragon Shadow Guard reported back that the enemy was blocked at the city gate and had not yet entered the city. There was a secret passage in He Mansion. Being able to leave the city, He Shun asked Ye Lingxi to help evacuate the people in the city.

When the people on the street heard that there was a war, they were so frightened that they ran home and closed the doors and windows. Ye Lingxi knocked on the door one by one. If anyone refused to open the door, he asked Long Yingwei to climb over the wall and open the door. Then let Long Yingwei escort the entire family there. When Ye Lingxi knocked on the eleventh house, he heard someone shouting, "The call is coming! Run!" The street suddenly became chaotic, and everyone rushed forward like crazy. Even though Ye Lingxi shouted at the top of his lungs, he couldn't. Yes, everyone is running for their lives, and no one listens to her at all.

"Doudou! Doudou! Where are you! Mom is here!" "Doudou! Doudou!"

A couple shouted their child's nickname loudly. The woman's eyes were filled with tears and the man was sweating profusely. In the crowded crowd, there was a cry of a little boy. He was accidentally pushed down, and when he was about to be stepped on, a hand pulled him out of the crowd, and a dragon shadow guard pulled him out. After being sent back to his parents, he immediately got into the crowd and continued to maintain order.

The Long Shadow Guards and the defenders followed Ye Lingxi's instructions and escorted the old, weak, women and children forward. Some elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet were carried on the backs of the defenders. Seeing this situation, some strong young people also I had the nerve to just run for my own life and consciously made way out of the way, and the chaotic situation gradually became orderly.

When the elderly and children in front were approaching He Mansion, a group of people rushed over with torches. They threw the torches at the houses on both sides along the road. The crowd began to crowd again. The defenders sent the elderly and children into the house first, and the Long Shadow Guards went to stop them. enemy.

Ye Lingxi saw that the leader of the charge was Lu Yan, who was immersed in the crowd.

Unexpectedly, the other party fired arrows directly. The Long Shadow Guard blocked most of the arrow feathers, but there were still a few fish that escaped the net and shot at the people. Ye Lingxi pushed the person next to her away, and the sharp arrows cut through her sleeves and pierced her body. On the ground, two people were still hit by arrows. One was injured in the leg and the other was injured in the shoulder. They simply missed their vital points.

"It turns out the princess is hiding here. It's really easy for me to find her."

Ye Lingxi felt a pair of cold eyes staring at her back. She did not look back and asked the remaining people to enter the house quickly. The next moment she felt a cold feeling on her back and a sharp silver gun was stabbed towards her. She instinctively lowered her head. As soon as she hid, she heard a clanging sound above her head, and a figure fell in front of her. It was Yan Fei.

The dark hair was slightly messy, with a few strands flying in the wind. The corners of his clothes were stained with blood, and his cold eyes were as sharp as a knife or iron.

"Are you okay?" Yanfei asked.

Ye Lingxi shook her head and said it was okay. He asked her to go in first. She told him to be careful and followed the crowd into the house first.

"Interesting." Lu Yan glanced at the red tassel spear in Yan Fei's hand, "Let me see if you are qualified to be my opponent." He rose into the air and pierced the vital point with the silver spear.

Hearing a clanging sound, Ye Lingxi looked back and saw that Yan Fei and Lu Yan had already joined hands, and she silently cheered for him in her heart.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw a bearded man wearing armor walking over in a hurry. When she got closer, she found that the man had a thin face, dark lips, and dark shadows under his eyelids. It seemed that he was seriously ill.

Another person followed and advised him to take care of himself. She recognized him as the housekeeper in the mansion. When the housekeeper called him "general", she knew that the bearded man was General He Guang.
