The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

"Xie Ping, what do you want to do?!"

It's one thing for everyone to listen to Bai Yan's words, but what is Xie Ping, they all glared, "You deserve to be a deserter, we don't have that face!"

"That's right, why did you come out of Daliang with such a bloodless thing!"

"You are not even as good as Mr. Bai..."

"..."

Xie Ping let them talk, and when they finished talking one by one, he stopped and looked back at everyone, "Why, enough talking?"

When Bai Yan was around, Xie Pingkuan had a good temper, but now that Bai Yan is not around, he suppressed his usual smile and suddenly turned cold, it seemed that his eyes seemed to have knives on everyone's bodies, making it difficult for them to bear very.

But everyone did not forget that Xie Ping was just a lieutenant of the Firearms Battalion.

So the next moment a sword stabbed towards Xie Ping, and it went straight to Xie Ping's heart.

"Zheng!"

Everyone saw that Xie Ping's sallow fingers clamped the blade of the sword, and then turned it over lightly, and the sword snapped instantly.

Everyone was horrified.

"The Firearms Battalion is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and you generals are not qualified to kill me." Xie Ping snorted, "The second wave of Beidi's offensive is coming later, don't you take the opportunity to go out and pick up some arrows now, are you planning to fight hand-to-hand? ?”

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly realized that Xie Ping led a group of people out of the city. There was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood under the city wall. Xie Ping's expression did not change at all. .

Everyone watched Xie Ping's every move, but they didn't respond. Some even turned their heads and went down to the city to find a place to rest first.

Most of the people who followed Xie Ping were from the Firearms Battalion, and they had little communication with these people on weekdays. Now that they were resting safely in the city, they had to risk their lives to pick up arrows, and they all felt uncomfortable.

Xie Ping was indifferent, and the people behind couldn't help but say, "My lord, they are also defending the city, why are they like this? The brothers in our firearms battalion are not inferior to them..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Ping's face remained unchanged, urging everyone to continue picking.

Just relying on these arrows is useless, it's just a drop in the bucket, but that's the case, Xie Ping didn't say anything depressing, when it was getting late, they only picked up less than a thousand arrows when they returned to the city, and there were still some damaged.

Seeing them returning to the city, the city guards didn't say anything, but took the arrow from them very quickly.

Xie Ping didn't care about this at all.

Before dark, he went to the magistrate's mansion again. Bai Yan was still in a coma. The maid in the mansion saw him and couldn't help stuffing him with a steamed bun. "My lord, we've all heard it just now..."

In the past two days, there was a lot of turmoil in the city, and everyone knew about the slightest commotion, so they all heard about the commotion between Xie Ping and those people during the day.

"It's better to let Mr. Bai take charge. You will not be able to survive alone. These people who guard the city are veterans. They usually bully the weak and fear the strong. Now it is even more embarrassing. After all, you will suffer a lot in the end." ..."

The girl's words were not unreasonable, but Xie Ping shook her head, "I don't want to bother you with these things. Fortunately, they are the ones who are messing around there. When the Beidi people attack the city, who will care about these things? You just need to take good care of the adults, don’t worry about the rest, you still have to take the medicine you should take for these two days, if there is any other situation, I will definitely ask someone to inform you first.”

After saying this, Xie Ping ate the steamed bun in a few mouthfuls, and the maid gave him another bowl of porridge. He gulped it down, and then walked towards the city gate.

As soon as he got to the bottom of the city, he heard the yelling of Beidi people. He frowned and walked up the city wall a few steps. When the people in the daytime saw him, their expressions changed slightly, but they didn't say anything.

Xie Ping didn't bother to argue with them, and looked directly outside the city. As he expected, the Beidi people were fully equipped this time, and came straight down the city in a menacing manner. There were not only ladders but also rolling stone carts underneath.

"What about the general? The Beidi people seem to be going to take down the city in one go this time."

"That depends on whether they can eat it or not!"

The war was about to break out. The Beidi people were behind the ladder and the rolling stone cart was in front. The guards on the city wall could only avoid their sharp edge and bowed their bodies close to the base of the wall.

The next moment, the huge boulder was ejected, and the sound of bang bang bang continued, directly smashing several large holes in the city wall.

Even though he tried his best to avoid it, many soldiers were still injured. Xie Ping looked like a purgatory on earth. He clenched his fists under his sleeves and waved his hand, "Brothers from the Firearms Battalion follow me!"

Most of the troops of the Firearms Battalion were actually on the east side, and they only left a few people here. Xie Ping led these people and carefully moved slowly along the base of the wall to the side towards the city gate.

This is a blind spot in Beidi's siege. They set up the firearms they had prepared in advance. Xie Ping probed out and saw the rolling stone cart not far away. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice, "toward that direction Hit me hard!"

"My lord, there are not many firearms left, and there is not enough gunpowder. If we run out this time, the next time the Beidi people attack the city, we will really be unarmed and can only wait to be beaten by them."

Xie Ping glanced at the man, "If you are not willing to use it this time, then you will lose the chance to use it next time. Look at the people behind you, and think about the people. They haven't completely withdrawn yet. If we worry about this now, then all our previous efforts will be in vain.”

"beat!"

As soon as the words fell, the firearms hit Beidi's rolling stone cart, and the next moment it rumbled and shook the mountains, and the sound hurt everyone's eardrums.

The Beidi savages and the guards on the city wall opened their eyes wide. This is the power of firearms!

They had been hiding it before, using only the most common ones on weekdays, but this time, Xie Ping and the others did not care about any cost, and went directly to the center of Beidi's team, with the purpose of destroying their Rolling Stone Cart.

This sudden change caught the Beidi barbarians by surprise, and the previous aggressive battle looked like a duck being strangled, but this time it was restrained by Xie Ping and the others.

Seeing this scene, the guards on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief. They had just been crushed and beaten, and their fighting spirit was about to be extinguished. Xie Ping's strike made them rekindle their killing intent.

Seeing that the situation was one-sided, even the guards on the city wall were ready to beat the drums, but at this moment, a group of troops rushed out from behind the Beidi camp. cold wind.

The faces of the people on the city wall suddenly changed, and even the people beside Xie Ping took a breath, "This is..."

Xie Ping met the other party's gaze, and said in a deep voice, "It's Songbu."

The word "Songbu" is actually not that scary, but what changed everyone's face is another thing, that is, Xiao Jiuqin left Guixi Mansion to fight against Songbu, but now he is the first to come back It is the Ministry of Songs.

This made them have to think about the worst. Someone as powerful as Xiao Jiuqin had never appeared, and the loss of contact for many days also caused rumors to gradually appear in the army.

No, maybe it's not a rumor.

Xie Ping slightly turned his head and glanced back, that direction was the direction of the mansion of the prefect of Guixi, and the person lying in the mansion now, if he saw this scene, he would not know how uncomfortable it would be.

But the reality couldn't help him to think wildly at this moment.Seeing that Song Bu led the team to kill, and the guards on the city wall bent their bows and set arrows one by one, Xie Ping looked at the people beside him and asked, "How much gunpowder is left?"

"Not much more, only the last available one left."

Xie Ping almost invisibly sighed.

Persisting for so many days is actually the best they can do, but now they not only have no chance to work hard, they have even seen failure.

Sure enough, not long after, Song Bu led the team to the city wall, the guards on the city wall were about to shoot arrows, Xie Ping suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

His voice was heard directly by the generals below the city. The man sat on the horse, looked at Xie Ping, and made a playful smile, "Why, you want to surrender now?"

Xie Ping was silent for a moment, and asked the people next to him to put away their firearms, and he also dropped the weapon in his hand, looking down at his boss.

"I have something I want to say to the general. I wonder if the general can give me this opportunity."

"What do you want to say?" Song Bu seemed to be a little interested, but on the surface he was defensive. Not only that, the people around him also came over and said a few words in his ear, Xie Ping saw everything in his eyes , the generals on the city wall also glared at this moment, staring at Xie Ping closely, "What do you want to do?"

From their point of view, Xie Ping opened his mouth now, and dropped his weapon a second ago, making it clear that he was going to surrender. To them, this was tantamount to a slap on the face, which was extremely shameful!

Beidi people have always been old enemies with Daliang, Daliang is the main country, and Beidi is a subject. It is simply absurd to ask them to abandon Guixi Mansion and surrender.

But Xie Ping didn't move, he stared at the boss closely, and said in a moderate voice, "General, now that Daliang's defeat is certain, Guixi Mansion is already within your reach, so why are you afraid of me playing tricks... ...If you feel that something is wrong, you can ask people to attack the city at any time, I think it is not difficult for you."

As soon as this remark came out, Song Bu's expression softened a lot, and the people around him wanted to continue talking, but he interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Tell me, I'll see what you can come up with..." Song Bu said with great interest, in his eyes, Guixi Mansion is now like a bag, he has even defeated Xiao Jiuqin, so why would he be afraid of these things? Shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so they are extremely rampant when they open their mouths.

"If you speak well, maybe I can keep you alive, but if you have ulterior motives, then don't blame me for slaughtering the entire Guixi Mansion!"

Xie Ping smiled slightly, "That's natural."

"Xie Ping, what are you going to do?!" The people next to him couldn't help but want to kill Xie Ping, but at this moment, a cool voice suddenly appeared behind them.

"What Xie Ping wants to say is what I want to say. Let me see who dares to touch him!"

As soon as the voice appeared, everyone's expressions changed, even Xie Ping turned around suddenly.

"My lord, why are you here..."

"I'll settle the account with you later for what you did, and now we'll settle the other account first." Bai Yan walked over a few steps and stood in front of Xie Ping, "It's better to meet after hearing about it for a long time, General Songbu... I've admired it for a long time. "
