Country and Beauty

Li Shan looked around the city walls. Before leaving, he instructed the Academy Officer in charge to defend strictly.

The night in Qu Yang was already very dark. The big red lanterns that were originally hung on the archway on both sides of the street had all been changed to white due to Xie Fei's "death announcement". The lanterns emitted a miserable white light.

Li Shan returned to the treatment center and sat down at the table in his battle robes. The other two soldiers immediately served him some food.

Just as Li Shan was eating, a personal guard ran in and reported: "General, there's someone outside reporting that they have to see the general!"

Li Shan asked casually while eating: "Who is it?" The janissary replied, "He said he is Qu Yang County's Li Family's Madam, Liu Rong."

"Madame Li Family of Qu Yang," Li Shan muttered. "She's just a woman, why did he come to see me in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Li Shan stood up and turned around. Could it be that this Mrs Liu was disobedient and took a fancy to himself? Li Shan stroked his beard, as though he was cutting a knife, and said with satisfaction: "Seems like my charm is not small." Li Shan is really a narcissist.

However, he wasn't a fanatic, so he said to the personal guard, "Bring her to the lobby and wait for a moment. Tell her that I'll be there shortly."

Li Shan swept the leaves with the force of the autumn wind and stuffed the rice into his mouth. He gulped down a few mouthfuls of cold water. Li Shan came to the front hall, and upon seeing Li Shan, a beautiful woman ran up to him and bowed respectfully: "This humble Liu Rong greets General Li!"

The one who walked into the hall was a charming and beautiful lady. She had an almond face and peachy cheeks; her skin was as white as snow. She walked in leisurely, with her beautiful eyes smiling at Li Shan.

Li Shan looked at Liu Rong, and did not dare to look anymore, because she had a face that could bring calamity down upon nations. This woman's chest was full, and her body was full of flattery, which was the type that countless men liked. Her chest was especially prominent and her waist even had a few pieces of golden jade hanging from it. As she swayed slightly, the golden jade emitted a jingling sound when it touched the gold jade, causing Liu Rong's hair to become the hair of an imperial concubine, tied up high, revealing her jade like ears and sheep fat like neck, making her look a little dignified. Her phoenix eyes, on the other hand, were misty, and her nose was straight up the mountain.

Liu Rong, who leisurely walked into the hall, didn't have the shyness of a normal woman, and dared to look straight into her eyes. especially felt that her beautiful phoenix eyes, which seemed to be a little spring, was sexy and seductive, causing Li Shan to feel as if there were reptiles crawling in her heart. It was stuck in cow dung. Li Shan lamented how a rich family's child without an ugly wife was nothing special.

Li Shan said: "I wonder why Madam Li is visiting me so late in the night?"

Liu Rong kneeled on the ground, and said with a face full of grief: "I, too, am ashamed of what the clan has done! However, General has made it clear that even though I, Liu Rong, am a woman, I am not willing to bear the notoriety of 'traitor'! " Liu Rong remembered her purpose for coming here, and her face immediately changed as she anxiously said, "General, you do not know, our Li Family once constructed a tunnel to protect against bandits! This tunnel can lead directly to the outside of the city! "

Li Shan was shocked, and his face changed. Even in front of the hundred thousand Xianbei army s, Li Shan's expression did not change at all. Li Shan suddenly stood up. What did you say? " Li Shan's tone was extremely urgent. And it was no wonder that Li Shan would lose his composure, because the situation that Liu Rong was talking about was just too important. It was too unexpected, and too dangerous!

"What the hell is going on?" Li Shan asked anxiously.

Liu Rong hesitated for a moment, then told Li Shan about the situation inside the tunnel and her husband's discussion with the Xianbei member.

Li Shan frowned, and laughed coldly: "What a good idea!" Li Shan looked at Liu Rong with her sharp eyes, and said solemnly: "Don't worry! I will report to my lord that I will pardon your Li family! However, your husband Li Yuantang cannot be forgiven! "Actually, it's all thanks to you acting so righteously, or else it would have been your Li Family's disaster, and don't think that our Qu Yang only has five thousand Black Shirt Army s, but our Black Shirt Army has more than just a hundred thousand troops. Even if the Xianbei member kills all of our brothers in the Qu Yang's camp, the Lord will still get revenge for us.

Liu Rong sighed, and said softly, "I understand!" Liu Rong's expression was extremely complicated, there was a kind of sorrow in her tone, even though she felt that it was extremely easy to release her, but since her husband was already dead, even if Black Shirt Army did not kill him, she would definitely not let him go! His husband, Li Yuantang, might not be a good person, but he treated his wife very well. There was a saying that a husband and wife could be merciful for a whole day. Liu Rong didn't feel good about this.

After Li Shan received this unexpected news, he did not dare slack, and quickly ordered: "Men, spread the news that Master Meng is going to the city gate tower to fight. The guards are to gather immediately. " With that, Li Shan immediately left the hall, Liu Rong suddenly caught up and knelt down. Li Shan stopped and asked: "What are you doing?"

Liu Rong kowtowed and fell to the ground, begging: "This little lady dares to plead the General to let my husband go!!" Liu Rong continued to cry as she pleaded, "Rong'er can't do this without a husband, and Ning'er can't do this without a father.

Li Shan looked at Liu Rong who was kneeling on the ground and frowned, then nodded: "Alright!" Although he couldn't make a decision on this matter, she could still plead with Xie Fei for leniency in the future. However, thinking about Xie Fei, Li Shan's heart once again ached.

Liu Rong was ecstatic and suddenly raised her head. Just then, Li Shan had already taken a few big steps, with a dozen armored guards following closely behind him.

Liu Rong turned around, and kowtowed towards Li Shan's back, excitedly saying: "Liu Rong thanks General Liu Rong for her kindness!"

Liu Rong followed closely behind as she led hundreds of her personal guards and rushed towards the north side of the city where the Li Family compound was located.

There was only one main street in Qu Yang County, which connected the north to the south. The administration of Qu Yang County was located in the middle of the main street, while the Li Family compound was also located on the main street. Near the north gate of the city, there was a large courtyard with four courtyards. This was the Li Family compound. It could be said that such a courtyard was unique in Qu Yang County. Even the wealthy Yang family only had a three-in-one courtyard built in Qu Yang. Knowing that the Li Family had gone to the Xianbei member, Li Shan was not surprised at all. As the saying goes: "My cousin is heartless, a merchant is unrighteous. Li Shan led two hundred guards and rushed out of Li Family compound. At this moment, the courtyard was pitch-black, and it was so quiet that it was terrifying. Just at this time, Li Shan heard someone speaking behind him, and then she heard someone exclaiming, speaking in low-sounding language, which Li Shan did not understand, but it was no longer important! Li Shan frowned, she turned and shouted to the guards behind him: "Turn off the torches!" Then she shouted, "Follow me in!" With that, she picked up her saber and dashed into the backyard. A loud and clear battle cry came from behind Li Shan. In the pitch black night, it was impossible to tell how many troops were hidden under the killing intent.

Li Shan rushed into the backyard, only to see shadows moving nearby, and the other side did not light the fire either. Li Shan brandished his blade and rushed forward, while the opponent suddenly let out a howl, and after that, hundreds of people rushed towards Li Shan.

Li Shan charged into the crowd and fiercely slashed out with his blade. The blade beams that occasionally flashed was especially dazzling in the dark of the night as miserable cries continuously sounded out. Li Shan waved his blade as he ran forward. Just then, Li Shan's two hundred guards also joined the fray, and the chaotic clanging sounds started again, mixed together with the miserable cries.

At the same time, the faces of the citizens who heard the commotion changed, they subconsciously felt that Xianbei member had entered the city. Just as the citizens were feeling apprehensive, countless black-clothed young Black Shirt Soldiers s appeared on the streets, holding torches in their hands as they ran. The panicked people did not notice that the soldiers of the Huns were carrying a bundle of firewood. What were they trying to do? The Quyang City was small, and the army guarding was not many. Li Shan was worried that the enemies would take the chance to attack the city, so he did not dare be careless and did not summon the Black Shirt Army on the city wall to come support him. When he heard that the Xianbei member was going to enter the Qu Yang through the secret passage, he knew that this battle would be tough, but currently, Li Shan was not an unarmed warrior. However, it was still possible for him to do so in the nick of time.

Li Shan and the guards suddenly joining the battle caused a huge shock to Xianbei member. Because it was very dark and Li Shan and the guards didn't even light torches, it was unknown how many Black Shirt Army s had arrived. Li Shan waved his blade around, as if he was the vanguard. More than two hundred guards followed him. Along the way, they killed their way to the fake mountain, and wherever they went, Xianbei member would scream in pain. But when Li Shan was about 20 steps away from the fake mountain, he could no longer move! In front of Li Shan was a sea of people. There were simply too many Xianbei member s! The Xianbei member screamed and pounced towards Li Shan. Li Shan swung his blade horizontally and fiercely, the Xianbei member was like a moth flying into the fire. Li Shan was like a wheat cutting machine, but he was trapped in place.

Although Xianbei member was the best at fighting in the wild, these Xianbei member were the best of the best. Not only were they good at fighting in the wild, they were also very fierce and nimble. Furthermore, they held crescent blades in their hands, which were similar to the ones used by the Western Lion cavalry. The most important thing was that they were not afraid of death. At this moment, the Xianbei member had already discovered, although the fighting strength of this group of Black Shirt Army was much higher than the Black Shirt Army on the city walls, circle after circle of corpses were lying down in front of Li Shan and the guards. But their numbers are limited. Xianbei member and the guard team led by Li Shan started to advance towards the backyard. At the same time, the Xianbei army was still coming out from the secret passage in the fake mountain.

Although the guards were strong, their numbers were too small to affect the overall situation! The battle still continued, and the balance of victory was slowly tilting towards the Xianbei member! Li Shan's battle was also extremely difficult, if not for the fact that his armor was sturdy, he would have been decapitated. Looking at the dense army and the guards who were continuously falling, Li Shan's heart felt like it was dripping blood. All of the guards were elites among elites, and now that they had met the elite troops of the enemy, they were at least fighting each other, but this was just an army, if the guards were to be used up here, what would happen to the lord's safety?

Li Shan realised what the Xianbei member was planning, he fiercely slashed horizontally and forced the Xianbei member to retreat half a step, then suddenly turned, releasing a loud roar, causing the blade to ignite a burst of blade light that caused people to be unable to breath, the soldiers surrounding Li Shan were instantly beheaded and their blood and flesh sent flying. Xianbei member did not expect Li Shan to suddenly turn his focus of attack to the back, causing the formation to become a mess. Li Shan rushed out from the fresh army and gathered with the guards, shouting loudly: "Go to the arch! We must stop the Xianbei member until reinforcements arrive! " Then, the guards under Li Shan's lead, fought and retreated, heading towards the direction of the arch.

At this moment, Gao Xu who had just came out of the secret passage was extremely anxious, he shouted and continuously urged his subordinates to move forward. The Xianbei member roared, and rushed towards the direction of the arch like a tidal wave, but turned into splashes under Li Shan and the two hundred guards' brilliant blade lights. Originally, the army of nomadic peoples had a characteristic, that was that if he could win, he would fight, and if he couldn't win, he would run. But today, they were from the sneak army, so unless they all died, they were not allowed to retreat even half a step.

Li Shan resisted at the arch, blocking Xianbei member from the desperate attack. Gao Xu urged his soldiers to keep charging towards the arched door. Both sides engaged in a fierce battle at the arch. Although the Xianbei member had a valiant general like Li Shan, there were still people dying in battle. The urgent clanging of weapons, hysterical screams and miserable screams mixed together, although the night was very dark, the terrifying glow of the swords still shined tenaciously.

"General, this isn't the way to go!" I have to think of another way! " A Academy Officer said to Gao Xu.

Gao Xu grabbed onto Academy Officer's clothes and asked anxiously: What method do you have?

"General, why don't we order our troops to jump over the wall and attack from the back?"

Gao Xu's eyes immediately lit up and said excitedly: "That's right!" Pointing at the Academy Officer in front of him, he ordered, "Immediately bring two squads of soldiers over there!" "Yes!"

Black Shirt Army, who was fighting with the Xianbei member at the arch, did not notice Xianbei member's actions. In fact, even if they noticed, they could not do anything about it.

Just as the blood battle at the arch was in full swing, hundreds of Xianbei member had climbed over the wall and arrived behind Li Shan and the rest, suddenly attacking them. The guards were fully focused on dealing with the enemies in front of them, and were caught off guard by the Xianbei member. Discovering the movement behind him, Li Shan was shocked. He immediately retreated from the front and stopped the Xianbei member's surprise attack from the back. At this moment, Li Shan and his guards were in an extremely dangerous situation, they were just like pedestrians who were caught in between two trucks.

As the battle continued, the number of casualties among the guards led by Li Shan skyrocketed. Although they were still risking their lives in battle, at this moment, it was as if a dam had appeared to hold their lives. If Li Shan wasn't here to stop them, the Xianbei member would have broken their defense line long ago.
