The thin figure suddenly trembled, as if it had been greatly frightened.
"look up!"
The man's high-pitched voice was cold and impatient, which frightened everyone. They glanced at him cautiously and dared not say anything more.
The thin soldier knelt on the ground and raised his head tremblingly.
It was a face so thin that it was just skin and bones...
His facial features were narrow and covered with spots, and he trembled with fear under the pressure of the Regent.
Chu Dichi frowned:
"say."
"Regent, please spare me, Regent, please spare me!"
The duck's voice was shaking with fear and quacking, which was the period of voice change for a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Chu Dichi: "..."
Just now, he clearly heard a familiar voice...
Her voice...
Was it his hallucination?
The light of hope that just rose in the man's eyes dimmed again.
Am I missing you too much?
Xiaojiu, I just want to be with you in this life, but why... God is always unfair, the road is bumpy and rugged, so that I can't even see you for the last time...
Chong Feng comes:
"Master, we suffered no casualties in this battle. All the soldiers in the city have surrendered, and we have added 5,000 new soldiers."
Jingying also quickly arranged the things on hand:
"Master, the City Lord's Mansion has been cleared. You may enter and take a rest."
Chu Dichi held the reins and was about to leave, but he turned his head to glance at the surrendered soldiers, and there seemed to be some reluctance in his eyes.
But, in the end, nothing was gained.
With dim eyes:
"Walk."
"yes!"
Chong Feng followed in shock, and a group of people marched towards the City Lord's Mansion. At the same place, the young man with a hoarse voice looked at the back of the man riding away on his horse, clenched his fingertips, suppressed the strong emotions, and curbed the overflow.
Emperor's uncle...
Although he was so close, what flashed through her mind was the image of her holding the broken sword and stabbing it into his abdomen!
He had never been on guard against her, but she hurt him again.
It was in that dark night that he jumped off the cliff without hesitation, without even a second thought or hesitation.
When I was young...
"You are too young." It was her words that cost Aunt Zhu's life and forced him to leave his hometown and go to the battlefield when he was only twelve years old.
Only twelve years old!
When she was twelve years old, she was still acting like a spoiled child in Concubine Wen's arms and playing with her Eighth Brother all day long. It was a carefree age, but Chu Dichi had everything ruined by her, and he had to fight and survive in the bloody storm.
She was the one who caused the hardships he experienced in his childhood.
The current life and death twists and turns are even more closely related to her.
How many lives can a person have?
She didn't dare to gamble anymore.
She owed him too much.
When they met again, she had no idea how to face him, let alone what attitude to adopt and how to face him...
Even though he was right in front of her, she didn't even dare to take a step forward.
"Why are you crying?"
A soldier next to her suddenly looked at her in surprise.
Chu Li was slightly startled, and subconsciously touched the corner of his eye, "I..."
The soldier consoled him, "Just now, the Regent only asked you a few questions. He won't kill you. Don't be afraid. Don't be fooled by the Regent's swift and decisive behavior. In fact, he keeps his word and is a good person."
"……Um."
On that day, he conquered a city and reorganized his subordinates.
In the evening, taking advantage of the crowded place, Chu Li left the place quietly.
at the same time.
In another city more than thirty miles away, people were in panic.
"My lord, the regent has captured another city. I'm afraid they will attack us in two days. We only have 4,000 soldiers in the city. I don't know if we can stop them..."
Report now.
The whole army was uneasy.
The prefect's eyes were filled with sadness and determination:
"We are loyal to the Emperor, and the Regent is a traitor. We have to defend it even if we can't. Do we want to submit to the traitor and bear the crime of betraying our country?"
The prefect said so, and the rest of the people calmed down and said:
"No surrender!"
"We swear to never surrender!"
"We are loyal to our emperor and we will never be accused of clinging to our country, even if we die in battle!"
The next day.
The enemy is at the gate.
The two sides fought, and neither would rather die than surrender.
Chu Li mingled in the crowd, took a bow and arrow, and took advantage of the chaos to sneak up to a four-story building. Standing on a commanding height, he looked at the city gate thirty-four meters away, which was strictly guarded by soldiers.
She narrowed her eyes, pulled out an arrow, and lit the tip of the arrow coated with kerosene.
Draw the bow.
aim.
call out!
An arrow flew through the air and hit the thick rope tied to the city gate, which immediately caught fire.
Another arrow!
These cities were not as important as the Jiangnan and imperial capital cities with developed economies and large populations. The defenses at the city gates didn't even have iron chains, making them too easy to attack.
As soon as the rope broke, the thick beam shifted and could not be tied down.
The people outside the city easily broke into the city as soon as they rushed in.
"The Regent is coming!"
"Surrender your weapons and we will not kill you!"
"surrender!"
"We surrender!"
Men should be able to bend and stretch, and be able to adapt to circumstances. They dropped their weapons, squatted on the ground, raised their hands, and dared not resist anymore.
In two days, two cities were captured without any effort.
only……
Chu Dichi rode his horse into the city and looked at the chaotic scene in the city and the surrendered soldiers, his brows slightly twisted.
Chong Feng sensed his master's thoughts and asked in a low voice:
"Master, do you think that the journey has been too smooth? Is there a trick?"
On the side, Jingying's hand holding the sword suddenly tightened.
A trick?!
"It really went too smoothly... No, it's just that the master is too amazing."
Chu Dichi glanced at everyone calmly and said:
"Be vigilant and don't let your guard down. Also, have your spies keep a close eye on the news from the Imperial City and report any unusual movements immediately."
"yes!"
As he rode away, he suddenly realized something and looked up at the four-story pavilion not far away.
But when I looked, the windows were empty and there was no one there.
The man frowned.
Just now, he clearly caught a gaze watching him in secret.
Could it be that...
Another illusion?
