Unlike those short and narrow city walls in previous generations, the walls of Fengyuan City are not only high, but also extremely wide.
Li Wutong was standing at the very rear, but now he was running towards the front of the battle line.
"Princess!"
Zhu Tianhong was only in a daze for a moment, and the next moment he stepped in front of Li Wutong, trying to stop this extremely dangerous behavior.
But when he saw the latter's eyes full of desolation and determination, he suddenly froze.
"Wish you grandpa..."
The choking sounds of heartbroken hearts rang out in the raging flames of war, and Li Wutong softly begged with tears in his eyes: "Let me see..."
"..."
Without saying anything, Zhu Tianhong just took a deep look at Li Wutong, and at the same time waved his hand back to stop several sharp arrows coming through the air again.
Then, he grabbed the latter's wrist and jumped onto a wooden sentry tower in front of him.
The high platform originally used for observation was empty at the moment. There was only a dilapidated black flag with the word "Feng" standing in the center, and a few broken corpses lying in various corners.
"Pap..."
Stepping in a pool of blood, Li Wutong tremblingly stepped over a headless corpse and walked towards the side of the high platform.
Stop and look up.
Under the pale moonlight, the panoramic view of the war finally appeared before our eyes.
The vast sea of soldiers reflected in the night, the broken and stretching corpses of sword shadows, the twisted and intertwined firelight and blood rain, the dark and collapsed horizon...
When hundreds of thousands of people crowded into this small piece of land to fight, unless they saw it with their own eyes, there was no way to describe the despair and shock that could make people feel the despair and shock.
In comparison, what Li Wutong saw just now was actually just the tip of the iceberg.
Looking at the Da Feng soldiers who were fighting for their lives and falling like wheat straw; listening to the hoarse roars and wailings in her ears, either determined or unwilling... Her heartbeat seemed to have stopped at a certain moment.
Everything in his vision slowly became blurry, and his breathing changed from rapid to firm.
When the Zimu Jade in his arms became hot again, Li Wutong suddenly closed his eyes and seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart.
She knew that this was Wei Changtian sending a message to her, and she also understood the latter's eager mood at this time.
but......
After a long time, Li Wutong finally opened his eyes again, and then took out the mother-in-law jade and a small booklet from his arms with Zhu Tianhong's surprised eyes.
Opening the booklet, I found two words, which activated my inner strength and heated the jade in my hand.
The "code" corresponding to the two words was not long. After a few breaths, Li Wutong gently closed the book again.
"Princess......"
Zhu Tianhong on the side finally couldn't help but be confused and asked: "Who are you sending a message to?"
"My husband."
Li Wutong turned to look at Zhu Tianhong and replied with a smile.
Then, a ray of fire suddenly appeared, burning the pamphlet to ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Master Wei?"
Zhu Tianhong knew that Li Wutong was referring to Wei Changtian, but he didn't understand the meaning of "burning the book".
However, before he could ask any more questions, he saw Li Wutong suddenly raise his arm and throw the mother jade forward with all his strength.
"this!"
Zhu Tianhong watched helplessly as the small piece of jade pendant drew an arc in the air, fell far away into the chaotic battlefield, and was immediately submerged in the shadow of swords and swords.
"Princess, what are you doing?"
"nothing."
Li Wutong's expression gradually became calmer: "Grandpa Zhu, I think I have chosen the four paths you mentioned."
"..."
Looking at Li Wutong's eyes, Zhu Tianhong understood.
In the night wind filled with the smell of blood, he nodded with some bitterness but also some relief: "Princess, even if I have to risk my life, I will definitely accompany you to finish this journey."
"Grandpa, thank you."
"Hoola!"
As soon as the words fell, the brocade dress stained with a little bit of blood bloomed like a flower in the sky.
She took off her luxurious long skirt and only wore a short black dress under the skirt.
Li Wutong casually threw the long skirt off the high platform, then drew out his sword and waved it behind his head without hesitation...
Thousands of green threads fell like a waterfall, scattered in all directions when blown by the wind, and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers on both sides who were fighting fiercely would not notice this, but they suddenly heard an extremely firm and decisive shout.
"All officers and men obey orders!"
"I am with you! I swear to live and die with Fengyuan!!!"
"I would rather die than retreat!!"
...
...
Shuzhou City, Wei Zhai.
"Master!"
When Chu Xianping's voice suddenly sounded, the sound of distant carriages echoed outside the house. It should be Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao who had just returned from Yingfengsheng.
"Li Wutong replied?"
Wei Changtian, who was pacing back and forth in the room, immediately asked: "What did you say?"
"I'll check right now, and the princess only replied with two words..."
As Chu Xianping spoke, he spread the "code book" on the table and quickly turned the pages.
What a coincidence, these two words happen to be on the same page.
"Have you found it?"
Wei Changtian came over eagerly, but found that Chu Xianping's eyes suddenly became a little strange.
I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart, and I lowered my head and looked in the direction of the latter's finger.
The third word in the first line - don't.
The sixth word in the fifth line - read.
Don't think about it...
"..."
The study suddenly fell into silence, except for the sound of wheels outside becoming increasingly clear.
Wei Changtian stared blankly at the two small words on the page, and then straightened up after a long while.
"Then send her a message."
"yes."
Chu Xianping said nothing and continued to heat the jade until the sandalwood in the incense burner burned out before slowly stopping.
"Sir, there is no reply."
"..."
"knew."
Seeming to be a little tired, Wei Changtian slowly sat down on the chair and responded without any further instructions.
Chu Xianping knew that he should be left alone for a while, so he walked out of the study and prepared to wait outside the room.
But as soon as he stepped out, he happened to bump into Xu Qingwan who was about to enter the house.
"Mr. Chu, is your husband in the house?"
Comrade Xiao Xu looked happy, as if he had something good to say to Wei Changtian in a hurry.
Although Chu Xianping couldn't bear to pour cold water on him, he still shook his head and said, "Madam, the young master is thinking about something now, so it's better not to disturb him."
"ah?"
Xu Qingwan was stunned and immediately lowered her voice: "What happened?"
"This...it's no big deal."
Chu Xianping smiled: "It's just that the battle situation at Dafeng is a bit critical."
"Is it......"
Xu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and looked past Chu Xianping to the closed door of the study.
She didn't know what Wei Changtian was thinking, but she could guess based on Chu Xianping's performance that this matter would be very troublesome.
After hesitating for a moment, Comrade Xiao Xu suddenly asked softly:
"Mr. Chu, is this about Princess Wu Ping?"
"Well......"
Chu Xianping was stunned, touched his nose and did not answer.
Both of them spoke tacitly, and both sighed softly in their hearts.
This sigh represents different meanings, including helplessness and worry.
