Chapter 586: Attacking and Defending the City

The two of them have been together for such a long time that they have already developed a tacit understanding.

There are some things that Yan Ning can guess even if Xiao Zhou doesn't say anything.

Guess what he's thinking.

They will not leave Shabei Pass alone.

Since you can do something, you should naturally do something.

Although they haven't used weapons for so many years, their internal strength and kung fu are still there.

With just a slight movement, the feeling of using a weapon comes out.

Xiao Zhou stopped and looked at Yan Ning.

Yan Ning looked at him stubbornly, as if silently telling him that even if he didn't take her to the border, she would go there by herself.

Xiao Zhou knew Yan Ning's personality, he was really stubborn.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, let's go together."

But he will protect Yan Ning with his life.

Hearing that he agreed, Yan Ning smiled.

As bright as the smile of a girl.

Even though the two of them are now wearing ordinary cotton clothes and are often exposed to wind and sun, it is still difficult to conceal their noble demeanor and outstanding appearance.

Time seems to be more kind to Yan Ning. There are not too many traces on her face and her skin is still very white.

Perhaps it was because the crops Shen Yueyao gave them were food crops produced in the space, and they ate these on a daily basis, so they had the word "spiritual energy" on them, and their appearance had become much younger during this period.

Yan Ning's hair is all black.

The two of them returned home in the snow and wind.

At this time, everyone in the house was asleep. They hid their breath and the village was extremely quiet.

So even the dog was not alarmed.

After they returned to the house, Xiao Zhou hurriedly helped Yan Ning brush off the snow on her hair and body.

Xiao Zhou's movements were very gentle. "Did you get cold outside?"

Yan Ning shook his head and said, "No, I'm not cold. I felt warm just now."

In fact, when she uses her inner strength, she can resist the cold outside.

But for so many years, she had never used her internal energy and almost forgot that she had it.

Now when I use it, I don’t feel unfamiliar with it.

Although Yan Ning said so, Xiao Zhou hurriedly helped her take off her scarf and coat and hung them up, saying, "Hurry up and get on the kang to warm up."

In summer they sleep on beds, and in winter they naturally sleep in a room with a kang.

At night they put some firewood in front of the stove, lit it, and let it burn automatically.

The kang is very warm now.

Yan Ning put her hands into the quilt and felt very warm.

I didn’t feel cold outside before, but when I got home, I felt that the temperature outside was really different from the temperature inside the house.

You can feel the warmth as soon as you enter the house.

They put their things away, took off their coats and lay down on the kang.

Yan Ning said, "It's still snowing heavily outside. I guess it will continue all night."

Yan Ning was a little worried that after such heavy snowfall, the yard would be covered with a thick layer of snow overnight.

Xiao Zhou said, "This snow certainly looks like it will be quite heavy."

"Don't think too much about it for now. Get some good sleep and you'll know what the weather will be like tomorrow morning."

In fact, if it snows heavily and the mountain is blocked, it will be very inconvenient for them to set off.

They thought that the snow would stop early in the morning and it would be easier to travel by carriage after the snow melted.

If it were spring or autumn, they could travel on horseback.

Yan Ning said, "Arrange all the matters in the workshop in the next few days, explain everything to Shaochen and the others, let Ye take care of Xuanxuan and help take care of Ruirui, and arrange for two more people to come to the house to help."

Some things need to be settled before they can rush to Shabei Pass.

They think it should be faster.

Xiao Zhou said, "Shao Jing and Ning went to Hezhou. Since they opened a chain store, they won't be back for a while, so there's no need to tell them."

Yan Ning asked, "Don't we need to tell Yueyao and the others about our trip to Shabei Pass?"

Xiao Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "No need to say anything, so as not to worry them."

In their opinion, Yueyao and Xueyi are also very busy in Hezhou, and they will persuade them if they tell them anything.

Besides, they will worry.

Moreover, the communication of letters is relatively slow.

Yan Ning thought so too.

Lying in the bed, Yan Ning felt very warm and couldn't fall asleep for a while.

"When I saw that sword just now, I thought of my master. I don't know how he is doing now or where he is."

Yan Ning's master taught her kung fu and martial arts with all his heart.

But her master's whereabouts are unknown, and she hasn't contacted him for more than 20 years.

She didn't even know how to contact her master.

In fact, when she thinks about it now, she feels that her master is quite mysterious.

Coming and going without a trace.

Xiao Zhou said, "Don't worry. Now that we are no longer hiding our identities and living in anonymity, your master will naturally find you."

Yan Ning nodded.

The two talked for a while before going to bed.

The next morning, when they woke up, the door was blocked by heavy snow.

It took a lot of effort to open the door.

It snowed all night and the snow in the yard was very thick.

On the morning after the snow falls, the villagers usually get up early and start sweeping the snow with brooms.

They all spontaneously swept a path on the street to make it easier for villagers to walk.

Xiao Zhou woke up early, washed up and swept the snow.

The same is true for Shen Shaochen.

They don't have the habit of sleeping in.

Yan Ning slept a little longer.

In fact, when she was a princess, she got up very early every day and had a lot of homework to do.

But since coming to Xinghua Village, they have been working from sunrise to sunset, living a stable life, and sometimes they just sleep in whenever they want.

Xiao Zhou doted on her and there were no rules at home.

Very relaxing and comfortable.

Especially after having a heated kang, Yan Ning wanted to sleep longer when it snowed heavily.

But she was thinking about something, and was actually awake even in bed.

After breakfast, the snow was still falling.

The snow continued for three days, and the mountains were completely blocked by heavy snow, which prevented Xiao Zhou and Yan Ning from traveling.

They could only wait until the snow stopped before setting off again.

However, during these few days, Xiao Zhou and Yan Ning also told Shen Shaochen that they were going on a long trip to see an old friend and asked him not to worry.

Shen Shaochen doesn't think too much, he just listens to whatever his parents say.

Ye, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something.

But no one could have imagined that at this time, Beirong led an army of 100,000 and quickly arrived outside the gate of Shabei Pass.

They attacked the city without any rest.

Their speed caught the generals of Shabei Pass off guard.

Although they received the news, they did not expect Beirong to be so fast.

Fortunately, they made preparations early, but there were only 30,000 soldiers in Shabei City.

But the Northern Rong had a hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

The Northern Rong soldiers attacked the city, and the soldiers on the city walls shot arrows.

The war drums sounded, and the Northern Rong's offensive became even more fierce.

The soldiers of Shabei Pass guarded the city gate firmly.

However, the soldiers on the city wall looked at the 100,000 troops with very solemn expressions.

Thirty thousand troops against one hundred thousand.

But they understood that they must defend the city.

They also firmly believed that reinforcements would arrive, but they had to defend the city within this time.
