Chapter 181 The City is Broken
The King of Xili was brought up soon.
He looked even more haggard, thinner than the day the royal city was captured. Both sides of his cheeks were sunken, and the dark circles under his eyes were very thick. It was obvious from his appearance that he had not had a good rest or a good meal in the past few days. He was like a frightened bird, and he looked at everything with fear.
Ye Qiongying asked the others to go out.
The King of Xili was not a master to begin with, and now he was in this state, it seemed that he had no fighting ability at all.
As for poisoning, I am even less afraid of it.
With the experience of Chen Guang, she would never touch anything given by others again, so how could she have fallen into the trap?
What's more, she doesn't have to be afraid of this kind of poison since she has Qingling Grass in her body.
"Meet... meet Miss Ye."
The King of Xili came forward and saluted Ye Qiongying.
"Do you recognize me?" Ye Qiongying looked at him.
When meeting the King of Xili, Ye Qiongying was standing behind Chen Guang.
Chen Guangcai is their main general, how could her presence attract attention?
Moreover, she never publicized her identity.
Only the people in the Da Qi army knew about this.
This was specifically made public by General Pang Li before departure.
Tests are tests, but he doesn't want anything to happen to Ye Qiongying, as the Ye family only has this one heir.
The temporary position of captain also had to be explained, so the things given by Ye Qiongying, the contribution she made in strategic information, and her identity as a member of the Ye family were all exposed.
This is also the reason why those under her command who are not members of the Ye family army can obey orders, and why Li Yunwei is willing to follow her plan when she finds him and hurt Yuan Wu from behind.
"Yes," the Lord of Xili nodded, "I... have seen your father many times and remember what he looks like. You look a bit like him... Besides... someone mentioned that the eldest daughter of the Ye family is in this army."
It's obvious who this person is.
This is the news that Yuan Wu spread.
Ye Qiongying frowned.
It doesn't matter if her existence is known, the key is...
Was the existence of Di Yu'an also spread by Yuan Wu?
Has he already sensed the peculiarity of Di Yuan?
The other soldiers might not have paid much attention, as they were focused on the war.
However, Yuan Wu had ulterior motives and would definitely observe these carefully.
Their concern for Di Yu'an, especially General Chen Guang's, may have attracted Yuan Wu's attention!
Who else but the emperor could make General Chen Guang so awed?
If this news gets out...
Ye Qiongying suddenly understood why there were so many people outside the city.
The emperor of Da Qi is here! The armies of Xili and Dongchen, whose homes were stolen, would naturally retreat immediately.
However, the army of Dongchen will not return to Dongchen, but will come together with the army of Xili.
As long as we capture the emperor of Da Qi, the army of the royal capital will no longer be a threat.
I see! I see!
It’s not that Xili’s army is too large in number, but that those surrounding it are from two countries!
Oops.
Di Yuan might be in danger.
Ye Qiongying really wanted to go back and tell Di Yuan about this discovery.
Just now, everyone else went out.
But Di Yu'an said that he had to follow her closely, otherwise he would easily get sick, so he stood behind the screen.
But the king of Xili is still here.
Ye Qiongying suppressed her temper and asked:
"I wonder what news you have to tell me, Lord?"
The King of Xili put his hand into his sleeve:
"It's... it's news related to General Ye... When General Ye died, I have an item related to him, which was originally kept in the national treasury. Now I want to return it to you. I hope Miss Ye can... be more merciful and leave a bloodline for my Xili royal family. I..."
He took his hands out of his sleeves.
The next moment, the screen behind Ye Qiongying suddenly flew forward, just in time to block the attack that was coming from the sky.
However, the person behind the screen had no protection and was hit by several flying needles, and fell down stiffly.
"An Yu!" In a hurry, Ye Qiongying forgot the honorific title and blurted out the name that Di Yu'an used in the past.
She swung the sword forward mercilessly.
The head of the King of Xili fell to the ground. His expression was still full of fear, but he also felt a little regretful that Ye Qiongying was not hit.
The headless body swayed a few times and then fell down.
The hidden weapon in his hand also fell to the ground.
Ye Qiongying didn't even look at him again, but ran over and helped Di Yuan up:
"Anyu! Anyu! How are you? I'll go find a military doctor for you right now! Don't worry, the doctor I brought here specially is very good at treating poisons, you will be fine!"
Di Yu'an's mouth was filled with blood. He grabbed Ye Qiongying's fingers and prevented her from leaving. The blood that kept pouring out of his mouth made his words sound a little unclear:
"Sister...sister, I...you called me...An Yu...I...I don't want to be an emperor, I want...I want to be with you..."
His hands were cold, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.
People outside heard the noise.
Ye Qiongying saw Uncle Ye rushing in with military doctors and soldiers.
Di Yu'an was put down and the military doctor came forward to give him an injection.
The crowd gathered around.
She wanted to stay here, to watch over An Yu, and to see Di Yu'an, who didn't want to be emperor, escape from danger.
But there was already a noise coming from outside.
The army outside the city is trying its best to attack the city!
not good!
If they were allowed in, Di Yu'an would be in real danger, and all the soldiers here would die.
Ye Qiongying gritted her teeth and walked out in a mess without even having time to wash the blood off her hands.
She can't panic.
She is now everyone's backbone.
She must defend the city and ensure that everyone returns home safely!
The army outside the city seemed to be aware of how chaotic the situation inside was, and seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
When the people of Xili in the city discovered that the army outside had arrived, they became restless and harbored ill will towards the army of Da Qi, ready to take action.
Presumably, this was why the King of Xili mustered up the courage to take action against Ye Qiongying.
Chen Guang has been hit. If Ye Qiongying is also gone, the army of Da Qi will be vulnerable!
By then, the Xili royal family will not be afraid of being killed.
However, Di Yu'an appeared and protected Ye Qiongying.
Ye Qiongying didn't dare to think too much. She remained calm and looked unhurried, giving instructions one by one.
The soldiers all took action.
The city gate was crumbling, and Ye Qiongying had already mounted her warhorse.
Can not give up.
Stick to it!
Reinforcements will arrive!
She constantly encourages everyone and also encourages herself.
There is no chance to retreat, so the only thing to do is to persevere.
"Bang!" The city gate finally couldn't hold on and collapsed.
The army outside the city rushed in shouting and killing.
Ye Qiongying took the lead, put on the long gun she brought with her, and swept through a row of soldiers with one shot:
"kill!"
The two sides fought together.
Blood was spurting continuously, and everyone was blood-thirsty.
but……
There are too few of them.
However, the other party had an absolute advantage.
Ye Qiongying didn't know how many people she had killed. She just felt her arms were numb and even her eyes were covered with blood, making her vision blurry.
There was a sharp wind, as if a knife was coming down at her head, and her horse had already died, and she was now standing on the ground fighting with another person.
"boom!"
There was a sound.
The attacker fell to the ground with a feather arrow stuck in his back.
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!"
Cheers rang out from all around, along with the rumbling sound of horses galloping.
Pang Li arrived with a large army!
