Bai Xiangxiu frowned. She felt that this trap was too easy to see through. She was even certain that there was a transmigrator on the other side.
She didn't know why, but she felt that this trap was directed at her. She didn't know if it was an illusion or not.
When he heard the sounds of fighting outside, he felt that something was amiss. He suddenly stood up and said, "Young Master Song, can you help me distribute the gunpowder that we just made to the soldiers? I feel uneasy."
It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from behind, wanting to swallow her whole. It was a very, very bad feeling.
Song Jiaoyue didn't know what she was thinking, but since she said so, he would do as she said.
Because he would have to leave soon.
As a member of the Song family, he had his own responsibilities. He couldn't be as carefree as Yu Kuang.
His heart ached when he thought of this, but because he knew that she would never be his, he didn't have any expectations.
Yes, if he had any expectations at this time, he might have been in even more pain. He might even have done something terrible. But if he didn't, it would just be a mental wound.
Just as they were about to prepare everything, something really happened.
A group of archers suddenly surged from the rear of the thousand or so soldiers. They all had fire arrows in their hands, and the power of their arrows was much greater than the last time.
These fire arrows were fired at Ning Cheng at the same time, causing a lot of damage.
Amidst the gunfire, Prince Rong said, "Quick, quickly ask General Long for help."
"No, he will definitely fall into the trap as soon as he comes back.
We can save ourselves. We definitely can. "
Bai Xiangxiu knew that this would be a bit difficult. It was obvious that besieging Wei to rescue Zhao was just a test to see how they would react.
If they called Long Heng back, then the trap would work. When the time came, the ambushers would most likely kill them.
But if that didn't work, then they would have the prepared troops rush forward and take down Ning Cheng.
At that time, Long Heng would not be able to receive him and would definitely die on the battlefield. He would not even have a place to return to.
Only then did Bai Xiangxiu understand that the other party must have sensed her presence, so they were most likely certain that she would not inform Long Heng. That was why they had arranged for the siege team to come one after another, increasing the number of people from a thousand to more than five thousand.
It seemed that they had already set up an ambush. They were just waiting for them to not inform Long Heng so that they could suddenly attack.
Even if Long Heng left behind the Shield Army, but such a method would definitely cause all the soldiers in Ning City to fall into chaos.
Bai Xiangxiu said, "Yu Kuang, your people's Qinggong is very good. Can you help us?"
Yu Kuang nodded. "Go ahead."
"Tell them to take a portion of the gunpowder and go out through the tunnel … Wait, tunnel."
Bai Xiangxiu screamed. How could she forget that Guard Chen, who had defected, knew about the tunnel's existence?
Song Jiaoyue also reacted and said, "I'll take some people there."
"My people can go down directly from the city gate tower," Yu Kuang said.
"Okay, then have your people go down directly from the city gate tower. Try your best to blow up their troops. The more people there are, the better."
This time, the gunpowder was different from the usual, so Bai Xiangxiu said, "Have your people shoot from a distance at least ten steps away, got it?"
"Okay."
Yu Kuang led Bai Yunshan and a group of chivalrous warriors who wanted to protect their country. Together, they took the gunpowder from the soldiers that Song Jiaoyue had found and left.
They had seen this kind of thing recently, so they didn't feel any pressure using it.
After arranging everything, Bai Xiangxiu disregarded the danger and organized people to help the wounded. At the same time, she went to the tunnel to check on the situation.
Prince Rong had arranged for some soldiers to follow her, and they were quite skilled in martial arts.
Thus, she was very safe along the way.
Sure enough, a group of people entered the tunnel. They seemed to be the most powerful of the enemy's experts. However, the person leading them was actually Chen Tao, Garrison Commander Chen.
Seeing this man made her grit her teeth. It was one thing for him to betray the country over some power struggle, but he also abandoned his own family.
It was understandable that he abandoned his wife, but there was still his mother!
Most importantly, why didn't the bomb she left behind kill him?
She subconsciously glanced at his waist and saw that the money pouch was still there.
Could it be that he didn't use the money pouch during this time because he was going to defect? Did that mean …
When Bai Xiangxiu saw that Song Jiaoyue was about to rush forward, she couldn't help but call out, "Prince Song."
Song Jiaoyue frowned. Why did this Bai Xiangxiu have to squeeze into the dangerous places? He hurriedly pushed aside the people beside him and ran towards her.
"Why are you here?"
"I have something to do. Did you see Chen Tao's money pouch? Later, when he's alone, hit it with Hidden Cry. There will be a surprise!"
"You …" How was this a surprise? This was a shock, okay?
A woman had come to this place. This was a battlefield!
Even a man like him, who had practiced martial arts, couldn't get used to it. How could she stand it?
Just as he was thinking, he heard Chen Tao shout and rush over. "Stupid woman, I must kill you today." That woman, Su Yun, had said that no matter who they left, they couldn't leave this woman behind.
He also had the same feeling, so he waved his hand and everyone rushed towards Bai Xiangxiu.
Song Jiaoyue pulled Bai Xiangxiu back and sent her directly to the roof. Then, he jumped down and fought with them.
Bai Xiangxiu was speechless. Why did he send her to such a high place? How was she supposed to hide?
She dodged behind a large chimney and watched as Song Jiaoyue fought and retreated. He didn't let them rush up and attack her.
In the blink of an eye, he had already suffered several injuries. After all, he was also an expert of the enemy.
Bai Xiangxiu was anxious and said, "Come up and throw a hidden weapon."
Song Jiaoyue was helpless. Who would throw a hidden weapon and call it out?
But he still had confidence in himself. He found an advantageous position and threw the hidden weapon first.
Those people only thought that he had thrown the hidden weapon and didn't care. They continued to follow. But at this moment, Song Jiaoyue jumped and threw an iron bean directly at Chen Tao's money pouch.
People all had a bad habit. You could throw anything but money pouches, so he always carried his money pouch with him.
But he didn't expect that this iron pouch would become his death warrant.
Boom! A loud sound rang out.
Then, there were screams and blood splattering everywhere.
Bai Xiangxiu had just covered her head with her arms when she was shielded by someone. She knew who this person was and couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in her heart.
Although it was impossible for the two of them to have any interactions, she had to admit that this man was very reliable at this time.
The novel didn't deceive her. The male supporting lead was indeed a good man, but he wasn't hers.
She had her own man. Although that man wasn't as gentle as him, wasn't as understanding as him, and was sometimes a bit overbearing and awkward, he was still an excellent man.
Just as she was thinking, a cold breath brushed past her lips. It was gentle and soft, with a hint of blood, but it wasn't heavy.
