"Ali, don't make me worry."
Chen Li was about to say something, but was stopped by his words. She could only nod in agreement, "Okay, then take care of yourself."
"Um."
Pei Yu strode out, no longer showing the weakness he had during the day. Not long after, Chen Li saw Mo Qing coming out yawning.
Seeing Chen Li still standing there, he looked in the direction Pei Yu left, but he could no longer be seen.
“Miss Shen, don’t worry, he’s used to it, he’ll be fine.”
"Um."
"It's so cold at night. Go back quickly, or you'll catch a cold and Zi'an will be worried again."
Chen Li turned around and went back to her room. After closing the door, she released a ray of mental power, but she did not leave.
There was still no one on the street outside. Many households had lit candles, but the houses were still quiet.
Soldiers in armor could be seen patrolling everywhere in the city, and many soldiers gathered at the city gates, all on high alert.
Pei Yu had already stood on the city wall. Outside Dingzhou City at night, Tatar soldiers were holding torches and there were siege weapons downstairs, staring at the city wall with a covetous look.
Their eyes were full of burning passion, as if they could see through the city walls and see the situation inside.
Pei Yu looked out into the distance, gazing at the distant mountain peaks hidden in darkness. He had noticed this upon his arrival. The Tatar soldiers were extremely excited. The 20,000 men below them were completely unable to capture Dingzhou City, but they didn't seem afraid at all, as if...
There are reinforcements behind! Pei Yu suddenly had this idea as a flash of inspiration in his mind.
At this time, the Tatar soldiers under the city wall launched an attack. The soldiers on the city wall had already received orders, and arrows were shot down from all directions. In the dark night, the arrows and armor made a "ping pong" sound.
General Yang came over, his brow furrowed. "Your Highness, something is wrong. These Tatar soldiers are very excited."
"Well, send someone to go around and take a look at the back. If there is anything, report back immediately."
"yes."
After that, Pei Yu kept paying attention to the movements below the city. The people below had been shouting for half an hour, but there was still no result. At this time, he also realized that these people were delaying time.
"Deputy General Zhang, lead 5,000 men outside the city to wipe out some of the people. Move quickly, as there's a trick going on in today's battle."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After he finished speaking, Pei Yu walked aside and looked at the map hanging on the wall. Not long after, he led an elite team of fifty people and headed into the mountains to drive away the Tatar soldiers outside the city.
Pei Yu was going to rescue people, so he sent a vanguard to explore the way. They haven't come back for such a long time, so they might have encountered the enemy outside the city.
Of course, it is impossible to rescue them with so few people. Now, there are so many barbarians outside the city, so they can only go out in several batches under the cover of moonlight.
Chen Li frowned when she saw Pei Yu leading people out. Could his injury withstand such a bumpy ride?
Thinking of this, Chen Li stood up and quickly left the house. He moved so fast that he flashed through the streets and soon arrived at the city gate.
He chose a deserted place, tapped his toes lightly, and appeared on the city wall.
She was worried about Pei Yu's injury. If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have known about it, but now she was here and couldn't pretend not to see it.
Chen Li was very fast and soon caught up with Pei Yu and the others. She roughly guessed his purpose and hurried on while using her mental power to detect the situation in the forest.
Sure enough, in a canyon not far away, there were many Tatar soldiers hiding. A rough count showed that there were about 80,000 soldiers.
Chen Li quickened his pace. If Pei Yu brought these 500 people over, wouldn't that be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?
"who?"
Chen Li was discovered when she approached Pei Yu. The deputy general next to her was about to take action, but Pei Yu raised his hand to stop her.
"Ali, why are you here?"
Chen Li pulled Pei Yu, her face serious, and whispered to him, "Ayu, you can't go ahead."
Pei Yu was stunned and made a gesture. The deputy general beside him ordered the soldiers to move away. He glanced at Chen Li before walking away.
"Ali, the people we sent out before haven't returned yet. I have to find them and see if there are any Tatar soldiers hiding in the valley."
Chen Li pursed her lips, not knowing how to tell him what happened before. What if he asked how she knew it?
"Give me a quarter of an hour and I'll take you there to see it. You'll understand."
Pei Yu looked into her eyes steadily, and Chen Li's eyes were full of persistence.
"Okay, wait a minute."
Pei Yu walked over and said a few words to the deputy general, then followed Chen Li into the darkness.
The two figures ran separately in the dark night, and a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the valley where Chen Li discovered the Tatar soldiers.
Pei Yu looked at the situation below, a dark light flashed in his eyes. Are they desperate?
"I was worried about you, so I saw the team you were in earlier heading into the valley, so I followed them. That's when I discovered the people hiding here."
"The ones you sent out before have been..."
After a while, Chen Li said this sentence. She didn't say the rest, but Pei Yu already understood.
"where are they?"
"There was a cave near the valley, and they were thrown into it."
"good."
The reason I asked this was that I wanted to wait until the war was over before sending someone to collect the bodies. I couldn't just let them lie there. Even if they turned into a handful of ashes, they had to return to where they belonged.
The situation here was urgent. No one knew when these Tatar soldiers would launch an attack. Pei Yu and Shen Li quickly returned, carrying people back to Dingzhou City.
"Ali, go back and leave the rest to me."
Looking at his determined eyes, Shen Li shook her head, “Ayu, go and get busy, don’t worry about me.”
Pei Yu saw the determination in her eyes and understood. He leaned over and hugged her, "Protect yourself."
Chen Li turned and climbed onto the city wall. Deputy General Yang recognized her and did not stop her. Chen Li picked up the bow and arrow and shot down.
Since she couldn't just stand by and watch, she would do her best to help.
In fact, with her abilities, she was fully capable of going to the battlefield with Pei Yu, but Pei Yu refused, and Chen Li did not force her.
Zuoyou Chenli's mental power has always been close to Pei Yu, so she can know Pei Yu's situation in real time, which makes her feel at ease.
When Lieutenant General Yang saw Chen Li's skills, he was immediately impressed. He didn't expect that this girl, who looked so weak, had such amazing skills.
You are judging others through the crack in the door, you need to change.
"General, this girl is so powerful. Where did our prince find her?" asked the injured soldier nearby.
Vice Admiral Yang patted his head and said, "If you're injured, just go back and recuperate. Why are you so curious? That person might be our future princess!"
This soldier has been at the city gate all day and has no idea what is happening on the street, otherwise he wouldn't have this question.
