He looked so anxious that if he lit his butt with gunpowder, he could run up the city wall.

Li Yunxi laughed when he heard what he said, "Why, my uncle is so anxious to send this king to the West. Then won't your daughter become a widow?"

"Don't mention this to me!"

Su Mu was angry. Just when he was about to continue urging General Tang, he heard Li Yunxi shouting loudly.

"Dakang officers and men, have you heard this? They have evil intentions in their hearts. They are afraid that their crimes will be exposed. They don't even want to wait for me to prove my innocence. They just want to confuse right and wrong and kill people to silence them!"

"Shut up! Stop trying to confuse people!"

When Su Mu saw that General Tang was still hesitating, he simply grabbed the flag from the sergeant next to him, waved it, and sent out the signal to attack.

The commander obeyed the order and directed the soldiers to enter the fighting state.

Without giving much time to react, the siege began.

The catapults threw fireballs and flying stones, the artillery carts began to bombard the city walls, and the archers and crossbows shot dense long arrows.

The soldiers' shouts echoed through the sky. They crossed the dry moat and quickly set up a ladder on the city wall.

The horns were blaring, the war drums were beating, smoke was everywhere, and the sky was filled with dust.

"Rumble..."

The sound of flint cannons was deafening, and the gray sky was covered by the overwhelming arrow feathers, flying rocks, and fireballs.

The soldiers who defended the city were attacked one after another, and it was horrific. Some were hit by fireballs and flying stones and burned into flames, some were pierced into hedgehogs, and some were shot directly through powerful crossbows and impaled on the wall.

"careful!"

On the shaking city wall, Liu Qingyan shouted, pulled Jia Qing over, and helped him avoid the deadly crossbow arrows.

Then, Liu Qingyan nervously saw a fireball heading straight for Li Yunxi. Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and crouched down in time to avoid it.

"Your Highness, give the order!"

Although he knew that Li Yunxi did not want to see Dakang soldiers killing each other, Liu Qingyan believed that the opportunity to fight could no longer be delayed now.

"Damn Su Mu, you can't even finish a sentence!"

Li Yunxi squatted half-crouched, hiding behind the stone wall, playing a broken suona, and issued an attack order to the soldiers guarding the city.

The soldiers guarding the city began to shoot arrows, throw stones, pour boiling water, and pour lime.

The soldiers who climbed up the ladder were hit one after another. Some were hit by arrow feathers, some were hit by rolling stones, some were scalded to death by boiling water, and some were blinded by lime and fell down screaming.

"Your Highness King Xi, please go back to the city first! It's too dangerous here!"

Liu Qingyan shouted.

The city wall was shattered by the powerful artillery fire, and the ground was shaken.

Countless deadly flying objects kept falling around him.

The soldiers guarding the city were attacked one after another, wailing.

The air was filled with smoke and the smell of blood.

This is a war with great disparity in strength.

Amidst the noisy fighting, Li Yunxi shouted in a loud voice.

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to last for two days. Prepare three thousand soldiers for me. I will try to break out of the encirclement and rush to the rear of the army to see that shrunken turtle Bai Yu!"

Liu Qingyan was so anxious that she wanted to cry and shouted loudly.

"Your Highness, there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside. If you do that, aren't you going to die?"

Li Yunxi's eyes showed determination that he had decided to leave.

"This is the only way to save Tangzhou. Liu Qingyan, your right hand is still inconvenient and it is not suitable to charge into the battle. You and Jia Qing will stay in Tangzhou. If I do not return, you must try to help Chen Yugui and others escape from Tangzhou."

"Your Highness!"

Liu Qingyan's nose felt sour and her words were choked.

……

……

At the edge of the cliff, a hand wrapped in blood stretched out, its worn fingertips firmly grasping the rock.

Then another hand.

A tired man climbed up from the cliff.

The cliff is hundreds of feet deep and almost vertical to the ground. It is almost impossible to climb up by human power, but Shen Qin finally did it.

He collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, panting heavily, and rested for a while before he had the strength to get up.

The many wounds on his body were in burning pain. He closed his eyes and meditated, using "photons" to repair the injuries and relieve the pain.

"Remember, you have not yet cultivated your immortal body. You can only use this technique to repair yourself and cannot heal others. Otherwise, your life span will be depleted."

Cui Xuzi's penetrating words came to my ears.

Shen Qin opened his eyes and saw Cui Xuzi in front of him holding a meditation bowl and slowly falling to the ground from the air.

Angry or not, he was so tired that he climbed the cliff for several days, and people just flew up there casually.

Cui Xuzi found out what was in Shen Qin's heart and smiled slightly, his rosy face looking particularly friendly.

Shen Qin asked.

"In addition to healing injuries, can this technique also heal diseases?"

"It's okay for minor illnesses, but you still need medicine for serious illnesses."

Cui Xuzi said.

"By the way, you stretch out your left arm, and Pindao will perform a little trick on you."

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Shen Qin trusted Cui Xuzi very much. He wanted to do what he said, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw that he was really dirty and covered in dirt. He felt embarrassed and wanted to get up and shake off the dust.

Cui Xuzi understood, and while knocking on the meditation bowl, he recited the incantation.

As the lingering sound of Jingxin vibrated, the dust on Shen Qin's body separated from him, suspended in the air, and then settled.

Shen Qin suddenly felt as refreshed as taking a bath. When she lowered her head, she saw that her clothes were as white as ever.

It’s great to be a god.

Shen Qin was a little envious.

Cui Xuzi smiled lightly and said,

"It's also very boring. I don't even know how long it has been since I tasted wine and meat."

Shen Qin knew that Cui Xuzi hardly ate, at most he drank some honey, chewed some flower petals, and practiced alone all day long, which was really boring.

"Feel sorry."

Seeing Cui Xuzi looking at him silently, Shen Qin hurriedly handed over his left arm.

Cui Xuzi slid the copper rod along the edge of the meditation bowl, and the head of the copper rod was lit by the photons shining in the meditation bowl, like a brush dipped in golden paint.

Then, Cui Xuzi opened Shen Qin's sleeves, used a copper rod to draw a gold line about five inches long on Shen Qin's forearm, and then explained.

"This is the length of your life. If you don't find a solution before the golden thread disappears, I'm afraid the gods will be unable to save you."

"Thank you sir."

On the occasion of parting, Shen Qin knelt down and gave a thank you salute.

"Your life-saving grace will never be forgotten by Shen. If..."

He wanted to say that if he didn't have luck in this life, he would repay it in the next life, but when he thought that he might not have the next life, he changed his words.

"If Shen can solve the trivial matters in the world as soon as possible, come here again and explore the great avenues of heaven and earth with the Taoist Master."

Cui Xuzi glanced at him meaningfully, then smiled and agreed.

"Okay, Pindao is here to wait for you at any time."

Shen Qin stood up and looked around, only to realize that the landform here was very different from that of the Tangzhou mountainous area.

"This is where?"

Cui Xuzi replied, "Taihang Mountain."

Taihang Mountain?

It is two to three hundred miles away from Tangzhou, and it will take at least two days to walk.

Shen Qin was anxious. He had an ominous premonition in his heart and just wanted to return to Tangzhou as soon as possible.

Cui Xuzi understood, stroked his beard, and smiled kindly.

"Pindao has given all his money to the young master. Don't you plan to call Pindao master?"
