A pretty woman's face turned as cold as frost after hearing the report from her subordinates.
She threw the tea cup in her hand to the ground: "Trash, trash, they are all a bunch of useless trash!"
"Tens of thousands of people mobilized together, but they couldn't even capture the small city of Runzhou."
"Even if tens of thousands of pigs push together, they can level Runzhou City, right?"
"Why do they keep such useless things?"
Facing her anger, the little girls next to her were filled with panic and fear.
The woman roared for a while before finally turning off the engine.
She sat straight on the chair and took a while to calm down.
And after hearing what she said, the guy who looked like a boy standing in the corridor also looked embarrassed.
He said: "Miss Cui, you really can't blame us. The main reason is that Runzhou City is now guarded by Li Chengqian himself."
"It's because of him that all those soldiers are now willing to sacrifice their lives."
"Although we have more than 30,000 people, there are also more than 10,000 of them."
"And they still have city defense to rely on, so we really have no choice..."
Miss Cui didn't care about this.
"This time if you ask me for money, I can give it to you."
She said to the people in front of her: "But you also remember, if you fail to capture Runzhou within ten days, I will not give you even a single copper coin..."
Hearing this, the boy standing in the corridor nodded repeatedly.
He said: "Within ten days, we will capture Runzhou and chop off his head and give it to you."
"good."
"That's what you said."
"I am waiting."
Miss Cui slowly stood up and waved: "Send off guests!"
The two maids immediately stepped forward and sent the young man out.
Others may not know this Miss Cui.
But if Li Chengqian were to come over, he would definitely recognize him at a glance.
Isn't this person the Miss Cui who Li Chongyi once admired so much, Cui Yinghe?
Not only is she alive He is alive and well.
He has even become one of the main sponsors of the current group of rebels.
And wait until the boy goes out.
Cui Yinghe also walked out of the room and came to the door of a small house in the backyard.
I opened the door and looked inside to see rows of memorial tablets.
These are the spiritual tablets of the Cui family.
At first, the whole Cui family was raided and executed, and only a few slipped through the net.
Cui Yinghe is one of them.
And she also used the remaining connections of the Cui family to prosper in Tengzhou.
They even moved the Cui family’s spiritual tablet here.
At this moment, look at these spiritual tablets in front of you.
Cui Yinghe's eyes also became extremely fierce.
"Father, mother, all ancestors."
"Yinghe is going to take revenge on you."
"Just wait, I will make him pay the price for what he did and be buried with my Cui family..."
…
the other side.
On Runzhou City.
Now, Li Chengqian has been guarding Runzhou City with a kind of Jiangnan Dao soldiers for more than three days.
During these three days, Li Chengqian led everyone to knock down the enemy troops who had boarded the city wall countless times.
And he himself took the lead and fought side by side with the soldiers.
This really inspired many soldiers.
Although his body is not as thin as Qianziying, he still dares to fight to the death with the enemy.
And this day.
Once again they withstood the enemy's onslaught.
Li Chengqian took Zhu Gu and Qi Hong to the city wall to inspect everything.
Looking at the soldiers who were so tired that they could hardly get up, Li Chengqian also felt uncomfortable.
He asked without looking back: "Are the medicines in the city still sufficient?"
Zhu Gu pursed his lips and replied: "It was enough at the beginning.
Yes, but as the war lasts longer and longer, more and more brothers are injured, and now it is no longer enough."
"But there is no need to worry too much, Your Highness."
"This afternoon, many wealthy households in the city have started to open warehouses and release medicine to us."
"Not to mention it's enough, but at least it's enough for the time being."
What he said is true. .??.
The wealthy households in the city did begin to donate medicines to the army and help the army defend the city.
But there is still some element of relief for Li Chengqian in these words.
After all, although there are many wealthy households in the city, they are not that many.
And even if you are a wealthy person, how can you hoard too many hemostatic drugs at home?
At best, they are just some medicines for treating headaches, colds, and fever.
And Li Chengqian naturally knew this.
He pursed his lips and said, "Wait a minute, find some people to go to the city to collect some saltpeter and come back."
"What do you want saltpeter for?"
Zhu Gu looked at Li Chengqian in confusion.
He didn't know that saltpeter was one of the main ingredients in making sky fire thunder.
"Collect as many as possible and send them to me."
Li Chengqian didn't say much to him, and just said: "You don't have to worry about anything else. Just follow my instructions. Go now."
"yes."
Zhu Gu responded accordingly and left.
At this time, only Qi Hong was left beside Li Chengqian.
But Li Chengqian didn't mean to talk to him too much.
I just saw him walking towards a soldier who was bandaging his wounds indiscriminately.
Walking up to the soldier, he snatched the white cloth strip from the other man's hand regardless of what he was doing.
"Can you wrap up the wound like this?"
Li Chengqian said casually and began to help the other party treat the wound: "Does it hurt?"
The soldier's arm was pierced by an arrow. This injury is not serious compared with the seriously wounded, but it is also very serious. of pain.
But at this moment, after hearing Li Chengqian's question, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt."
Li Chengqian had experienced the feeling of an arrow piercing his arm. How could he not know that feeling?
Li Chengqian chuckled and said: "How many rebels were killed today?"
"Shooted the two traitors."
"Beheaded and killed a traitor."
The wounded soldier boasted with a face full of pride: "If my arm hadn't been hit by a stray arrow, I could have cut him three or five more times."
"Okay, be ambitious."
Li Chengqian patted his shoulder and said, "Have a good rest and try to kill more of his traitors next time."
"This little injury is nothing, no need to rest."
The soldier smiled easily and said, "I will definitely chop off the heads of a few more traitors tomorrow."
The wounded soldier said it very easily.
It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Li Chengqian had long been accustomed to this and didn't have much emotion.
However, Qi Hong's face behind him was full of emotion.
To be honest, Qi Hong is completely different now than before.
After following Li Chengqian to Runzhou, his mentality changed a lot.
At first, he just felt that everything Li Chengqian did was nonsense.
After all, it is very unrealistic to lead thousands of people against tens of thousands of people.
But slowly, he was also infected by Li Chengqian.
As the prince and the future heir of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian was able to sacrifice his life and blood for the people of his family and country, regardless of life and death.
So what else can he not sacrifice as a general?
Is his life more valuable than Li Chengqian's?
Besides, now that this little soldier can put life and death at risk, what else does he have to fear?
At that moment, he also had the desire to coexist with Li Chengqian life and death.
And he also secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would follow Li Chengqian to defend Runzhou City so that the enemy would not be able to advance even an inch...
