Pastoral Master

Chapter 104 Xi Ling is Back

"My lord! Once the city wall is ignited, the city wall will definitely be damaged, this..." the general said hesitantly.

Li Yi said coldly. "What are you afraid of if the city wall is a little damaged? The Turks will repair it after they leave!"

The general defending the city immediately lowered his head.

Yan Ruxue led Li Yao to the city wall, looking for Li Yi's figure all the way, looking for it aimlessly in four directions. Suddenly, Yan Ruxue saw a black spot outside the city wall, a mile away. Taking a closer look, it seemed that there were two people stumbling towards Liangzhou City.

Not only Yan Ruxue saw it, but the soldiers on the city wall also saw it. Unlike Yan Ruxue, the soldiers responded by drawing their bows and warning. "Who is this! This is Tang Dynasty Liangzhou, don't go any further! Otherwise, we will be impolite!"

Hearing this, one of the two figures suddenly put down the other, ran a few steps quickly, and shouted loudly at the same time. "Don't shoot arrows. Behind you is the vanguard general of Shibao City, Bai Han! I'm Xi Ling, a relative of your prince's family!"

How could the soldiers on the city wall know what Bai Han and Xi Ling were? He only knew that this was a special period, and the Turkic people might attack at any time, and no one was allowed to approach the city gate!

The soldiers didn't know, but Yan Ruxue knew, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed the soldier, saying loudly. "I know them, they are the ones who escorted the prince back, and they stopped the Turkic people who assassinated the prince, so we can come back safely, they are heroes, open the city gate and let them in!"

Although they didn't know who Yan Ruxue was, Li Yao and the others knew each other. The soldiers didn't dare to do anything to Yan Ruxue, but their attitude was very tough. "I don't know who is a hero or not. I only know that this is a special period. I didn't order anyone not to open the door privately, otherwise the military law will do it!"

"You!" Yan Ruxue was in a hurry, looked at Xi Ling who was walking towards here step by step outside the city, couldn't help but her nose sore, let go of Li Yao's hand, and ran towards the city gate with all her strength.

Hearing Yan Ruxue's voice, the corner of Xi Ling's mouth slightly raised in the distance, she is here!That's good!There is still a chance to take them!
A woman came running, and she just came with the young master. The soldiers guarding the city didn't pay attention, but they didn't expect that Yan Ruxue came directly to them. No, to be precise, she ran to them. knife in hand.

Spotting the soldier closest to her, she quickly stepped forward and pulled out the soldier's knife, waving it vigorously, driving away all the soldiers at the door. "Go away! Go away!"

The soldiers really didn't pay attention at first, but how could they be scared away by a little girl in such an important place as the city gate?Immediately, the soldiers drew out their waist knives one after another, and those who were farther away even started shooting arrows to kill Yan Ruxue.

Although Yan Ruxue let go of Li Yao's hand, Li Yao did not leave Yan Ruxue, and followed Yan Ruxue to the city gate. Seeing that the soldiers' expressions were wrong, he immediately stood in front of Yan Ruxue, shouted. "Which one of you dares to move! My sister has already said that those two people are heroes, why don't you let them in! Open the city gate for me!"

Although Li Yao shouted heart-piercingly, the soldiers were still unmoved. In their opinion, the young man must have been deceived by this woman. After all, the young man is only five years old this year!

A commander at the city gate raised his hand high. Li Yao was only five years old, and he had just reached Yan Ruxue's waist, so he couldn't block their shooting range, and a close fight might really hurt Li Yao. , so they decided to shoot Yan Ruxue directly.

Yan Ruxue naturally saw their intentions. Even if they really wanted to kill her, she must find a way to open the door for Xi Ling. At this time, the only thing she regretted was why she didn't take two of them with her when she went out. Guards?

"Hey!" Yan Ruxue called softly.

Li Yao turned around.

Yan Ruxue smiled faintly. "Remember, those two people outside the door exchanged their lives for the city your father and I entered. No matter what, you must let them open the door!"

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and looked back at the soldiers in amazement, the bow was fully drawn, and all the arrow tips were pointing in one direction, behind him!Only then did Li Yao notice that he couldn't stop Yan Ruxue who stretched out his hand at all.

Turning his eyes, Li Yao glanced at Yan Ruxue, seeing that Yan Ruxue's attention had been on the city gate behind her, he reached out and snatched the knife from Yan Ruxue's hand, and put it on his neck. "If you dare to kill my sister, I will wipe my own neck and open the city gate!"

Yan Ruxue felt that her hands were empty, and then she saw Li Yao put the knife on her neck, she was frightened out of her wits, and exclaimed. "Hey, put the knife down! What are you doing! Don't hurt yourself!"

Because the knife was in Li Yao's hand, Yan Ruxue didn't dare to make a move, so she could only comfort her in a soft voice. "Hey, be good! Listen to my sister, put down the knife!"

Li Yao shook his head. "No, if I don't do this, they will kill you. And you said that the two people outside the door are very important. I believe they will not dare to joke about my life. As long as this is the case, they will definitely open the door!"

Yan Ruxue was taken aback, and after thinking about it, it seemed that what Li Yao said was not unreasonable, but Li Yao was only five years old after all, and that steel knife was not light, if his hand shook, the consequences would be unimaginable , she promised Li Yi to protect Li Yao well, so she must not take Li Yao at risk. "I know, you put down the knife first. If you are like this, they will not dare to kill me again. As for opening the door, we can go to your father. As long as your father says something, they will definitely open the door. You put down the knife first. !"

Li Yao hesitated, but the hand holding the knife did not waver at all. "But, but my father doesn't know where he is now, Turkic people may come outside at any time, so the two of them will be in danger!"

Yan Ruxue also hesitated when she heard Li Yao's words, and then said to Li Yao seriously. "That doesn't work, you put down the knife quickly! I will find a way to open the door!"

Yan Ruxue had never spoken to Li Yao like this before, and Li Yao had never seen such a fierce sister, so she immediately flattened her mouth and said aggrievedly. "Understood!" After saying that, he put down the knife in his hand.

As soon as Li Yao put down his knife, there was a knocking sound from the city gate, and Xi Ling's tired voice sounded at the same time. "Miss, open the door, it's me, Xi Ling!"

Yan Ruxue turned around to open the door without even thinking about it, but the heavy city gate was not something she could open alone, and those soldiers had guessed it a long time ago, looking at Yan Ruxue quietly...
