Before night fell, Xiao Fang finally entered Fengshi City.

General Zhuo Liang who was guarding the city was Concubine Zhuo's cousin, and he had met him when he was in the capital. When he saw someone he was familiar with, Xiao Fang's heart relaxed and he fell off his horse.

Xiaoyuan and the others hurriedly carried him to settle down in a sedan chair. After being frightened for a day and a night, he fell into a drowsy sleep before he even got to the house.

There is no peace in the dream, there are fires burning everywhere, and there is Xing Yang.

Wearing his clothes, Xing Yang led people around the city, led the pursuers who broke into the door one by one into the Jedi, and finally laughed loudly in the firelight, rolled into the fire with the people, and never appeared again.

Xiao Fang woke up drenched in sweat. It was not yet dawn, and he was tired. Presumably, he did not sleep well, and he did not sleep for long.

He panted and calmed down for a moment, and before he had time to call Xiaoyuan, he heard someone knocking on the door panel, regular and hasty.

"Your Majesty, forgive me," someone said outside, "Zhuo Liang has something important to report."

Xiao Fang immediately put on his clothes and went out. The person outside the door was indeed Zhuo Liang, and the battle was urgent. He just exchanged a few words of greetings and asked straight to the point: "Has your majesty read the letter from General Xing Yang?"

"Not yet." Xiao Fang was in a hurry, completely ignoring it.

Zhuo Liang frowned: "General Xing said in the letter that this time the soldiers from the West came here strangely and suddenly, and the number of them is far larger than expected. It seems that they have been prepared for the emperor."

Xiao Fang was stunned: "It shouldn't be, the Xirong defenders along the way have been dispersed, there shouldn't be so many people."

"That's the problem," Zhuo Liang said, "General Xing said that the opponent is not a defeated general, but a well-equipped army, and he heard someone shouting, 'Capture Emperor Dongtan alive, make him a marquis and worship the general'."

Xiao Fang's hands are cold, if this is the case, where were these people before?Was it hidden on purpose?When did you hide it again?

Zhuo Liang didn't dare to show his worries too clearly, so he could only say: "I have sent people to deliver letters to Lanyang Pass and General Ji, and Lanyang Pass is okay, we have opened up the road, but General Ji there……"

"what happened?"

"I have an idea," he paused, "If Xirong had been prepared for a long time and would not hesitate to hide these people in Chai Ridge or in a place where they could gather in Nanchuan at any time, then the current situation would make sense gone."

Xiao Fang thought about these words carefully, and couldn't help shivering.

If Zhuo Liang's hypothesis is correct, then from the time they entered Xiezhou, these people have been watching them silently, even when they broke through several cities one after another and pointed directly at Jimen Pass, they were so calm.

And the one-hit kill these people were waiting for was the opportunity for him and Ji Yunqi to part ways in Nanchuan.

He had already made preparations, perhaps when Antitta returned triumphantly and Da Tan started to raise his troops, he was already prepared.

Everyone knows that sooner or later there will be a war between the two countries, and he, who has already promised to fight in person, is the most critical one.

At that time, whether they capture him alive to threaten Ji Yunqi, or attack Ji Yunqi from behind from Chailing, their victory along the way will be doomed.

And according to their current situation, it is obvious that the other party chose him, a soft persimmon with a lot of money.

The defeat of Tumubao was clearly written in the history books. If he became the king of subjugation, the big sandalwood he managed to support would not be as long as the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, in public or private, it is impossible for Ji Yunqi to give up on him.

Xiao Fang suddenly became afraid, he didn't care whether he lived or died alone, but if because of him, so many people's hard work and hopes were wiped out, even if they die and go back, they will never feel at ease for the rest of their lives.

The most frightening thing is that if the news reaches Ji Yunqi, if Ji Yunqi immediately abandons Jimen Pass and returns to rescue him, not only will he not be able to rescue him in time, but he will also face the great danger of being attacked from both sides.

Since the opponent has been able to wait patiently in Chai Ridge for such a long time, it is impossible to give up this rare opportunity.

If Ji Yunqi didn't come to rescue him, then if something happened to him, Ji Yunqi would be a sinner who couldn't save himself after returning to court.

"Zhuo Liang, prepare pen and ink, I want to draw up an imperial decree."

Fearing that fewer people would know, Xiao Fangrang read out the imperial decree written on a palm-sized silk cloth in front of everyone, and the imperial decree clearly told Ji Yunqi

——If you don’t take Jimen Pass, don’t come back!I can hold on until you come.

The person who sent the letter went out of the city overnight, and all that was left was to polish the blade and wait for the pursuers who were about to follow.

According to Zhuo Liang's speculation, with the troops that Xi Rong can send, even if there is a loss in Nanchuan, the number of pursuers is likely to be around 4.

In Fengshi City, including the 3000 people brought by Xiao Fang, there are a total of 6000 people. They have to withstand it and wait until Ji Yunqi wins Jimen Pass and come back.

These tens of thousands of people must be dragged to Fengshi City.

But Fengshi City has important roads everywhere, but it is really a small city with few people, and it has not been through war for too long. The moat has long since dried up, and even the former city wall has been in disrepair for a long time.

Although Zhuo Liang has started to repair it since he was stationed, no one can guarantee whether he can cope with the next tough battle.

Xiao Fang took off his heavy gown, put on a light armor, and patrolled around with Zhuo Liang. When the two came down from the city wall, they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

Almost everyone stayed up all night, watching helplessly, the gray mist in the morning was blown away by the rolling smoke, and the deafening sound of horseshoes running and kicking outside the city gate.

Xiao Fang took Xiaoyuan and Zhuo Liang up to the city wall, and saw several people riding out from the neatly lined up horses, and stopped at a place not far away from the arrow, and the person in the middle was Antitta.

"Your Majesty," Antieta raised her voice, bowed her hands to him with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and your Majesty's majesty is even better than before."

Xiao Fang took out the loudspeaker: "It's easy to say, Lu Zeyi also looks radiant, how many years younger!"

The huge sound waves startled the crowd into commotion. Antitta glanced behind her and smiled again: "Thank you for your compliment. Your Majesty has come from a long way to be a guest in our Great Rong territory. The Majesty was afraid of being impolite, so he sent his ministers to welcome you." When the emperor arrives at the king's capital, I hope that the emperor will ignore our negligence and follow me."

"The people of Xirong are hardworking and hospitable, how can you say they are negligent," Xiao Fang didn't mind playing Tai Chi with the other party and chatting about homework, the most important thing for them right now is time, and it's a little bit if they can procrastinate.

"I like to seal Shicheng, and I plan to stay here for a while. I appreciate the kindness of your king. Lu Zeyi, please go back and return."

"Your majesty makes it difficult for this little minister, and your majesty will definitely blame this little minister." Antitta naturally understood that Xiao Fang was delaying time: "The emperor wants to stay here, is it because he is waiting for someone?"

He clapped his hands back lightly, and the team parted, dragging out several bloody corpses.

Xiao Fang's hands dug into the cracks in the bricks of the city wall.

"The emperor really cares about General Ji and has deep affection. It's a pity that General Ji will never have the chance to see this secret letter."

Antitta raised her face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Luanjia is ready, let's set off now."

"What if I don't go?"

"Why is your majesty so persistent? If you leave now, I promised you that you can let the generals go back to their homeland. If the trouble is not good..." He sneered: "Then I will welcome the emperor to the capital, here And no one will know.”

Xiao Fang's heart sank, it was clear that he wanted to massacre the city, and he really wanted to die forever.

"Is Lu Zeyi too confident in herself?"

"Whether you are confident, the emperor will know later." Having said this, Antitta did not delay: "Two hours. After two hours, I will wait for the emperor's answer."

The army fell back and camped within sight.

Only the deathly silence on the city wall remained.

After a while, Zhuo Liang said softly at the side: "Your Majesty, the ministers must fight to the death to protect the Emperor!"

Xiao Fang patted him on the shoulder, listening to his next words: "It's just that this letter...must be delivered."

No matter for the current battle situation, or for the lives of Ji Yunqi and the soldiers in front, this imperial decree must be sent out, of course Xiao Fang knows better than anyone else.

He pondered for a long time: "Go and call Ye Lu."

This is the person Ji Yunqi specially left behind for him. Ye Lu is the best candidate to cross Chailing.

"Xiaoyuan," he called Xiaoyuan forward, "You said before that I can buy 10 minutes of invulnerability, right? Can I buy it for others?"

Madoka immediately understood what he meant: "Yes, yes, this is a gift."

"Can I buy it several times, can it be superimposed?"

"This... No, it's limited to one purchase."

"Okay," Xiao Fang looked at Ye Lu who was getting ready to set off not far away, "I'll buy it for him once, counting from the time he leaves the city gate."

It was already dawn, but they didn't have much time. After two hours, the city gate could no longer be opened.

Xiao Fang sighed softly, stepped forward quickly, and adjusted Ye Lu's helmet: "Brother Ye Lu."

Ye Lu held his head high in front of him: "Your Majesty!"

Xiao Fang laughed, the savage who ran wild with him in the palace a few years ago was taught by Ji Yunqi to look good, and it is his only hope now.

"Safe travels."

"Yes!" Ye Lu saluted, turned around and left, and then quickly turned around: "Ye also be careful, if it's not possible, just run quickly, anyway, you run pretty fast."

Xiao Fang smiled and waved to him, didn't dare to watch him leave, but half an hour later, outside the city gate, he saw his head being picked up on a bamboo pole, his eyes still closed.

When walking down the city wall, Xiao Fang tried his best not to let out the choked sob stuck in his throat, he only supported the wall, sat slowly on the steps, and buried his head between his arms.

He misses his old mother, misses Xiang Yu, misses Qin Huai, misses Fan Shengyu, and these people may be able to tell him what he should do.

And... I miss Yunqi.

Xiaoyuan looked at him at a loss, and whispered: "The emperor..."

Xiao Fang suddenly raised his head: "Xiaoyuan, can I have a chance to be resurrected?"

"This... no, people cannot be resurrected after death, and the Time and Space Administration strictly prohibits fraudulent corpses."

"Okay, I got it, it seems that I can only settle for the next best thing," Xiao Fang straightened his body, "I will write you an edict now, you take it and hide it, even if the city is sealed off, you must not come out, I believe Yunqi knows which is more important."

"Which is more important is...means..." Madoka asked puzzled.

Xiao Fang pursed his lips and forced a smile without explaining - if the train was coming at a fast speed, which side would you choose?

If Yun Qi gave up Jimen Pass immediately, even if he could be rescued, Kuizhou would surely fall into a long-term war, which could not be delayed in the country, and it was very likely that it would still end in failure.

The best and only way is to ignore him and take Jimen Pass as quickly as possible.

He believed that Yun Qi could make a correct judgment calmly.

"Xiaoyuan, if the city of Fengshi is broken, the imperial decree in your hand is the life-saving talisman for Yunqi and 10,000+ people. You must wait for him to come and convey it personally. Did you hear me?"

Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, what about you?"

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, the king dies in the country, but I will never be the second Ming Yingzong." Xiao Fang suppressed his beating heart and held his sword.

"Fengshicheng is here, I am here, Fengshicheng is broken, and I will not let them make a fuss about me. Don't worry, I will make it clear in the imperial edict. If something happens to me, I will let my sister ascend the throne."

"And..." He took a deep breath: "You tell Yun Qi a word—don't wait for me."

Xiaoyuan stood blankly on the spot, as if he had been fixed, until the cotton cloth full of words was placed in his hand, and then suddenly grabbed Xiao Fang: "I'll deliver the letter."

"what?"

"I have an employee account, I can run fast, and I can run system bugs, so I'm invulnerable for two hours, don't worry!"

Without waiting for Xiao Fang to nod, Xiao Yuan ordered the soldiers nearby to find a suit of armor.

The ecstatic joy only flashed in Xiao Fang's mind, and then disappeared.

"Xiaoyuan," he called to Xiaoyuan who was about to leave, "I remember your company said that employees are not allowed to join any side, right?"

Otherwise, Xiaoyuan wouldn't have delayed bringing it up until now. Thinking of Ji Yunqi's previous "violation of the regulations", Xiao Fang immediately realized what was wrong.

"Ham, it's okay. I don't want to work for this broken company. Don't worry, I won't be forced to quit immediately like General Ji. I'll send it to you."

Xiaoyuan took the armor she found, took off the long gown, and put it on one by one, but instead comforted Xiao Fang: "Just take a longer wedding leave for yourself, and look for it after work, there will always be some. "

The tip of Xiao Fang's nose was a bit astringent.

"Xiaoyuan, otherwise I'll give you some planes now, and you can still get some commission."

"Forget it, it's unnecessary for the company to take the lead. If I leave, the company may not be able to give it to me."

Xiao Yuanzheng straightened his helmet, and then showed an embarrassed smile: "I haven't told you the truth, in fact, I am Mao Liu, and I am in a hurry to buy a wedding house. I plan to do an extra job. I know you complain Me, send me this letter, don't complain about me."

Xiao Fang's eyes were sour, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, the mountains are high and the waters are long, there will be a period later." He waved to Xiao Fang: "You also take care of yourself."

The people outside the city had already dispersed in an orderly manner. Xiao Fang boarded the top of the city again, and saw that the orderly formation suddenly became chaotic, and someone shouted "Grab him".

The man on horseback dashed left and right, unable to move forward, something small in his hand rattled, a little flame burst out, ignited at the corner of his clothes, and instantly turned him into a ball of fire.

The crotch | The horses were hissed by the flames, and rushed away from the crowd like crazy, and ran westward all the way.

Zhuo Liang also stood beside him, looking at the fire going away, he didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, or to be more concerned.

"Your Majesty, two hours is almost here, everyone is ready."

"Okay," Xiao Fang shook the scabbard in his hand again: "Come on!"

The author has something to say: It will end tomorrow, and the episode will be released at the same time!
