Chapter 422
Su Zhenyun and Lu Xixue were stunned and hurriedly helped Jinghaihou Mansion find their daughter.

But two days later, Xiao Sanlang and Xiao Silang replied to the letter. Xiao Feiyan had indeed followed secretly, and the two families were completely calm.

When Mrs. Hou was so anxious that she wanted to chase her daughter back, she learned that Su Youyue had also gone to Liaodong. She couldn't help but puzzled: "Xixue, how can you let Yue'er do such nonsense? There is a war in Guan right now, but it's not them. A place for fun.”

Lu Xixue secretly thought that her daughter was not here to play around, but she comforted her: "Since Feiyan has her third and fourth brothers taking care of her, don't worry and let them send someone to send Feiyan back." that is."

Of course Mrs. Hou thought so too. At this moment, all her attention went to Su Youyue: "Xixue, that Yue'er..."

Lu Xixue couldn't reveal the weapon, so she could only say vaguely: "Someone from Xie Yuan will take her over, so don't worry."

Seeing the attitude of the two Su family members, Mrs. Jinghaihou didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions, so she could only leave first and wait for Xiao Feiyan to be sent back by her sons.

Unexpectedly, almost a month later, the two sons came back with a letter. Xiao Feiyan was unwilling to come back no matter what, so the two of them could only let her accompany them first.

Helpless, Mrs. Jinghaihou had no choice but to give up first.

August, Liaodong.

The dusty smell of loess baked by the sun hit our faces. Outside Jiuyuan Town, a hundred thousand troops pressed forward and were stationed directly outside Jiuyuan Town.

The leading general showed off his military power and shouted in front of the army that within three days, Xie Yuan would be handed over and the city gates would be opened, but everyone in the city would be spared. If they resisted to the end and captured the city gates, they would be killed without mercy.

As soon as this word reached Jiuyuan Town, the people immediately panicked.

"Hurry up and surrender. We can't fight at all. All the soldiers in this town add up to less than [-]. How can we fight against an army of [-]! They can kill us all even if they fight one on one! "

"Yes, if we surrender, maybe King Rong will really let us go..."

On the second floor of the inn, in a private room, voices came from downstairs one by one, and the man in the room looked gloomy.

Magistrate Wang stood humbly in front of Xie Yuan, but he pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds outside.

"Then if we surrender, don't we have to hand Master Xie over? Master Xie has protected us for so long, we can't be heartless!"

"If Mr. Xie really wants to protect us, he should surrender himself!"

"Keep talking nonsense! Mr. Xie is not that kind of person at all!"

There was a commotion downstairs soon.

Scenes like this have happened frequently since the announcement in front of the army.

County Magistrate Wang looked at Xie Yuan's solemn expression, feeling secretly happy in his heart, but he still pretended to say: "Master Xie, in my opinion, for the present plan, the only way is for you to secretly leave Jiuyuan Pass, and then we can open the city again." If you surrender, you will be able to save both you and the people in this city. This is the best solution for both worlds!"

"The imperial court has sent troops to support them and they will arrive at Jiuyuan Town soon. Why are you in a hurry!" the general beside Xie Yuan scolded.

Magistrate Wang's face darkened and he said no more, but he was cursing secretly in his heart. Who didn't know that Mr. Xie Yuan was a famous traitor back then? On the surface, Xie Yuan was loyal and patriotic, but in private, he did many evil things and was criticized by the courtiers. Criticize him, what else is he pretending to do?

He asked him to escape, and there were so many things.

By the time the troops supported by the imperial court arrived, Jiuyuan Town would have been trampled to the ground by King Rong's men!
Magistrate Wang left with regret, but was also secretly happy. Regardless of whether Jiuyuan Town was lost or not, he would not die. Why should he be worried?

As soon as Magistrate Wang left, the young general stepped forward and said: "Sir, the general has contacted the two young generals of the Xiao family before. The court's support team will arrive in five days at most. As long as we can survive the two-day attack, That’s it.”

Xie Yuan nodded: "For these three days, send people to guard the city gate and strictly prohibit anyone from opening the city gate."

"Yes!"

Everyone took the order and knew that the Lord planned to defend the city to the end, and they became more determined.

As long as they persist for two days, they can wait for reinforcements from the court!

The troops outside the city seemed to be very patient on the first day. On the second day, they sent people to urge them. On the third day, they began to yell and threaten.

The people in the city became more and more restless, and some even tried to sneak out through the city gate, but the gate did not move at all, and they finally returned disappointed.

When the deadline was reached, just in the early morning of the fourth day, the army outside the city launched an offensive.

Fortunately, the city was well prepared. For two days in a row, countless arrows, stones and hot oil came down from the top of the city to guard the city gate tightly.

On the fifth day, from early morning to dusk, the soldiers guarding the city on the wall also turned from their initial expectations to disappointment, and even the speed of throwing stones slowed down.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

"Didn't you say that support will be here today?"

I wonder if they know what the people on the city wall are thinking, but the people attacking the city below laughed loudly.

"You are not still hoping that those reinforcements will arrive early! To tell you the truth, by the time those reinforcements arrive, we will have already trampled Jiuyuan Town to the ground, hahahaha..."

The expressions of the soldiers on the city gate changed.

"What do you mean?" Although the enemy did not say it clearly, they keenly grasped the key point. Did they do anything to the reinforcements?
"Keep fighting! Keep fighting day and night, let's see how long they can last!" The voice from the city could be described as extremely arrogant.

The morale in the city was instantly depressed to the extreme, and the soldiers who were originally high-spirited showed confusion and panic in their eyes.

How could they win this battle without reinforcements?
No, to be precise, it was impossible for them to win from the beginning, it was just a matter of how long they could last.

"How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive? One day? Two days? Or..." A soldier asked blankly.

No one else could answer his question.

Maybe the reinforcements will arrive at Jiuyuan Town, but by then, whether they have secured Jiuyuan and whether they are still alive is another matter.

The food in this city simply cannot last that long...

This low mood reached its peak when the soldiers held on for another three days without any news of reinforcements.

"Does the imperial court ignore us? Have they given up on Jiuyuan Town?"

"Are we being treated as outcasts?"

At first, the generals could sternly prohibit such arguments, but now, seeing that the court's reinforcements were far away, and soldiers guarding the city continued to die around them every day, they were shaken.

Not to mention the people in the city were even more agitated and panicked.

On the tenth day, the city gate of Jiuyuan Town was knocked into a gap.

Although it only took a moment for the door to be blocked by the people inside, the tense hearts of the entire Jiuyuan Town seemed to have been completely opened.

"Otherwise, let's go out and surrender ourselves..."

"If Mr. Xie had surrendered earlier, so many people would not have died. Prince Rong wanted to be the emperor and would not have massacred us tax-paying civilians..."

"Yes, I said I surrender a long time ago, but you still scold me. In my opinion, Mr. Xie really can't figure it out. Maybe the imperial court didn't send any reinforcements at all. He just deliberately harmed us. Now it's better , no one can survive!"

As soon as the voice fell, a black boy jumped out from nowhere, grabbed the man's clothes and became furious: "Fuck you, if Mr. Xie hadn't been for you, he could single-handedly survive the roundup of a hundred thousand troops. If he hadn't broken out here to protect you, you would have been struggling to defend the city here! If it weren't for him, how would you still be alive here?"

The man was startled, and when he saw that the person holding him was just a young man, he immediately became angry and wanted to fight him: "Where did you come from, that brat!"

Chu Xiaozi was so angry that she wanted to fight this man. She had originally planned to go back to Yanjing, but unexpectedly, King Rong's team came too fast and there were too many refugees. Stayed in Jiuyuan Town.

Although she didn't dare to go to Xie Yuan, she knew that this man had real abilities. If it weren't for the purpose of protecting the civilians in Jiuyuan Town who had no time to leave and who were coming in a steady stream, there would be no need for him to deliberately stay in Jiuyuan Town. This town is not a perfect location to defend the city.

If King Rong really did not massacre civilians as this man said, how could there have been so many refugees fleeing before!

Chu Xiaozi not only wanted to beat him, but also spat in this man's face: "Bah! White-eyed wolf! Mr. Xie shouldn't care about you! Just try to run out of the city gate and see if your father Rong Wang can do it." I'll dig a hornet's nest into you!"

"You! Looking for death!" The man was furious and struck with outstretched fists.

Chu Xiaozi was about to fight him when a hand suddenly stretched out and stopped the man's fist.

When she turned around, she saw that it was Hua Qingyun. Just as she frowned that a weak scholar had come out to cause trouble, she heard Hua Qingyun say: "The imperial reinforcements are coming soon, everyone, please be patient."

If I had said this a few days ago, maybe most people would still believe it, but it has already been ten days, who would still believe it.

But when everyone wanted to refute, they saw an elegant young man in green shirt, with a superior face and a gentle expression that made people less angry just by looking at him, so they were startled subconsciously.

"You said they were here soon. Who are you? You..." someone muttered dissatisfied.

But almost as soon as he finished speaking, the voices outside suddenly started boiling like boiling water.

"The reinforcements have arrived! The reinforcements sent by the imperial court have arrived!"

The people who were questioning just now were stunned, but before they had time to react, people from the inn poured out and went to the street to ask questions.

"The reinforcements have arrived, Mr. Xie is taking the people out to fight!" someone shouted excitedly.

Chu Xiaozi was also stunned and couldn't help but look at Hua Qingyun: "Hua Qingyun, your mouth is so clever!"

Hua Qingyun looked at her lively appearance, with a slight smile on his lips: "I will know about it only after I have contacted them in advance."

Chu Xiaozi had no idea when he contacted the reinforcements, but now she was more curious about the situation outside the city, so she quickly pulled him and ran out.

At this time, outside the gate of Jiuyuan Town, the two armies were facing each other. On one side there were a handful of 1000 people, and on one side there were 10 people, just like a mantis blocking a car.

But not one of these 1000 people showed any signs of timidity. Instead, they were all filled with an unyielding murderous aura.

At this time, in the military camp opposite, the young general came in a hurry to report.

"Your Majesty, the reinforcements sent by Yanjing have arrived! Xie Yuan comes out to fight!"
