After recognizing the villain daddy, the little apprentice sister cheats all the way

At the end of the vast snow, small gray-black dots appeared. Those dots gradually increased in number and gathered together, approaching them step by step. The vague outlines covered by the snow gradually became clear.

All the fighting generals froze in place, their fingers trembling, their eyes full of tears as they reflected the figures of each person gradually becoming clearer.

Shen Siyao choked up and murmured, "They are back?"

Yes, they are back. The people who went home and were about to be escorted out of the city overnight came back, holding all their belongings to keep warm and the little food left, step by step, leaving deep black footprints in the snow.

The old man in the lead put the things in front of the soldiers, and the adults and children behind him also put their things down, and soon a small hill was piled up.

He pulled tightly around himself the patched jacket whose original color could no longer be seen, and his face was full of wrinkles from smiling.

"These are the only things we have left to keep warm and provide for the soldiers. I hope we can hold out for a while."

Xiao Hefeng, who was always dignified and calm, instantly had red eyes. When he opened his mouth, cold wind blew in, stinging his throat and making it sore. He couldn't speak at all.

The two sides just stared at each other in the heavy snow in silence for a long while, with only the sound of the whistling cold wind. The goose feather-like snow soon covered everyone's shoulders.

Xiao Hefeng's voice was low and hoarse: "Old sir, fellow civilians, it is my Xiao family army that is incompetent. We can only defend one of the city and you. You should take these things and leave tonight! It is winter in the northern border. Without these things, how can you escape safely?"

"That's right!" Ye Heming secretly turned his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled exaggeratedly, "We are soldiers. We are not afraid of cold or hunger. Why do we need these?"

The old man listened to them quietly, then he bowed and said, "Soldiers are also human beings, General. We have decided not to leave. You don't have to worry about us. Today we will use our flesh and blood to resist the enemy, and you just need to defend the city!"

There was an unshakable determination in his old eyes, and everyone behind him nodded repeatedly without a trace of cowardice.

Before Xiao Hefeng could persuade him, the old man lifted his robe and knelt down, his voice mournful, his eyes filled with sorrow and determination: "General, there is no need to say more. The city is still there, and the people are gone. We belong to this city while we are alive, and we will shed our blood on this land even after we die!"

He raised his head, his scarlet eyes full of pleading, and shouted loudly: "General, please grant me your blessing!"

The people behind him all knelt in the snow and said in unison: "Please help us, General!"

"Please help me, General!"

......

The sound was so resolute that it spread in the deathly silent snow, but continued to echo in everyone's ears.

Tears glistened in Xiao Hefeng's eyes. He was unable to pull anyone up, so he lifted his robe and knelt on one knee. The soldiers behind him put down their weapons and knelt down as well, feeling a sense of guilt.

Suddenly, whether it was Chu Chaozhao and his group, the people hiding in the dark and observing the expressions, or everyone outside the field, they all fell silent and stared at the shocking scene in front of them. For a moment, they felt their scalps tingling.

dong dong dong-

The drums of war sounded again, smoke from every corner filled the snow, and the enemy attacked again!

Xiao Hefeng stood up and arranged for people to settle the people. The people spontaneously began to go to the military camp to help.

Xiao Hefeng turned around and was about to walk up the city wall when someone grabbed him. He turned around and looked in surprise at the owner of the red little hand.

"Don't worry, little Miss Zhao. I will have someone escort you out of the city tonight."

Chu Chaozhao shook his head: "I'm not talking about this. I have a plan. Recently, my friends and I have traveled all over Lianyue City and found that the moat of Lianyue City is flowing, right? Where does it lead to? Besides protecting the city, what else is it used for?"

Xiao Hefeng understood and suddenly remembered something. He was a little excited for a moment: "Yes, the weather in the north was originally bad and rainy. There was a secret drainage passage under the moat, but it was abandoned when the late emperor was still alive. Miss Zhao, what do you want to do?"

"Can it lead to Xishan City?" Chu Chaozhao asked bluntly.

Xiao Hefeng quickly called his men over and soon brought a blueprint from the military camp. The old blueprint was covered with winding black lines and various markings.

They came together and followed the black lines that represented the underground canals.

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of joy.

Chu Chaozhao looked at his friends and said, "Asheng and I will go through the secret channel to the West Mountain City where the enemy is. We will put drugs in their water, take the head of the enemy leader Jialan Huye, and then burn their food and grass! Let them lose their composure. At the same time, the general will lead his troops to launch a surprise attack. With our speed, the general only needs to hold out for five days. After five days, when the fireworks start, we can launch a surprise attack at night!"

Xiao Hefeng nodded: "Xishan City is thousands of miles away from the border city in the southern border of Galan Barbarian Country. If we launch a surprise attack, it will be difficult for the other side to provide reinforcements. But this is too dangerous. I will lead the team myself!"

Chu Chaozhao shook his head: "You can't leave, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion. We haven't been on the battlefield in the past few battles, and the enemy won't suspect anything after so many bloody battles. So we go, and the rest of us will stay with you to guard Lianyue City."

"No!" Jiu Moyi refused to do it. "How can we let just the two of you go? I want to go too! Killing people, setting fire to food and grass, poisoning, there are so many things to do. You only have four hands. How are you going to deal with them?"

Shangguan Sulan nodded: "Although I am not as strong as you two, I can still poison you."

Shangguan Suchen also said: "Although I am weak, I can keep watch and give advice. Mr. Xie and the other two can stay here. The five of us must not be separated! So that we can take care of each other!"

For a moment, this friendship made everyone else envious.

They never left each other, and were determined to stay with each other even when they knew there was a cliff on the other side. This kind of love could not be interfered with by other people, so the remaining three nodded without saying much.

Xiao Hefeng said solemnly: "This trip is more dangerous than safe. Even if you are very powerful, it is really a risk. Have you thought it through?"

Chu Chaozhao and his four friends exchanged a glance and laughed, "General Xiao, don't worry. We won't die! General Xiao, just wait for our good news!"

Xiao Hefeng, together with the generals who had not left behind him, bowed deeply to the five people.

Chu Chaozhao and others returned the gift.

"Three of you, Lianyue City is left to you and everyone else!" Chu Chaozhao bowed deeply to Xie Changsi and the other two, with an unusual solemnity.

Xie Changsi and the other two were flattered and quickly returned the gift.

Chu Chaozhao said: "Hold on for a while. With only the three of you helping, it might still be very difficult..."

"That's fine." Xie Changsi said in a deep voice, "We swear to defend Lianyue City until the day you succeed!"

He also solemnly promised that the general of the Fuyue Empire always kept his promise and would never go back on his word.

He made the promise, which meant that he would never retreat even if he faced a life-and-death situation. The other two also nodded in agreement.

Chu Chaozhao turned around and was about to leave, but before leaving he secretly glanced into the darkness.

He laughed jokingly, "Have you seen enough of the show? How long do you want to see more? Now that Lianyue City is facing a catastrophe, why don't you come out and give me a clear explanation? If you want to leave the city, why don't I let General Xiao send someone to take you out of the secret passage?"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a dozen people walked out from the darkness around the corner in the distance.

Xiao Hefeng and the generals behind him were all stunned. Is this little girl Zhao's eyesight and hearing so good? Can she detect it from such a distance?

The people who came were Xie Qingyu and others.

Xie Qingyu's eyes flashed with calculation, and he spoke in an instant: "I am willing to help defend the city."

Yuan Shaojin looked at her in astonishment, but then he said, "Wherever Senior Sister is, I will be there."

Chu Chaozhao raised her eyebrows. She didn't know what the other party's purpose was, whether he was moved by compassion or realized that "no eggs can be left unbroken when the nest is overturned". But no matter what the purpose was, as long as the two of them stayed, with the martial arts skills of the two sword cultivators, Lianyue City could hold out longer, which was exactly what she wanted.

She took a step back and bowed from a distance: "Thank you!"

Such rare politeness and courteousness actually made Xie Qingyu and Yuan Shaojin suddenly alert.

When Chu Chaozhao saw Yuan Shaojin pulling Xie Qingyu back subconsciously, he became alarmed and rolled his eyes without hesitation.

Jiu Moyi and the others behind him almost laughed out loud when they saw this.

All the people who came out with Xie Qingyu seemed to be staring at them like crazy. It was totally unnecessary for them to take such risks for the lowly mortals from the lower realm.

They threatened: We are leaving now!

Chu Chaozhao finally gave them a chance to choose and told them that once they left the secret passage, it would be sealed in order to ensure the safety of the city. However, they still chose to leave the city without looking back. She then asked General Xiao to send them out of the secret passage. As soon as those people came out of the secret passage, it was sealed.

They just thought they had escaped and were glad that they didn't follow those crazy people to take risks. However, they were discovered by enemy spies after walking only ten miles. Not long after they escaped, they were surrounded by a large army. At the critical moment of their escape, they pinched the jade token and disappeared into the forest.

The enemy suffered a brief amnesia, and they searched everywhere but could not find any trace of those people.
