Chapter 727: Without hot weapons, we can’t even hold out for a night!
The sudden appearance of the huge monster and the roar made the officers and soldiers standing in the front terrified.
Several officers and soldiers who were slow to react had no time to dodge and were directly hit by the car and thrown several meters away.
Kang Yihang knew that if they stopped, they would be the ones to die, so he made up his mind, stepped on the accelerator, broke open the city gate which had not yet been closed, and planned to leave.
Ran Qingxuan was about to let go of the seat belt, but he vaguely saw a figure grabbing the door handle at the back of the car from the rearview mirror.
Kang Yihang clenched his teeth at the back and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The jeep began to sway from side to side like a wild horse.
He waited until the person who jumped into the car got away before he quickly adjusted the direction.
The hands gripping the steering wheel were shaking slightly, not because of fear, but because of uncontrollable excitement.
"Teacher Ran, did you see that? The expressions of those people from Northern Qi!" He laughed out loud.
“Those people thought they saw a ghost!”
Ran Qingxuan looked serious: "Don't be happy too soon. Although Luzhi was knocked unconscious, the people behind her will react soon."
"After I pick up Gu Yanchen, I have to make other preparations!"
The jeep quickly disappeared into the night and sped towards the beacon tower.
Behind them, the outline of Hulu Pass gradually disappeared into the darkness. When they returned again, they might face an even more dangerous battlefield...
The ruins of the beacon tower cast mottled shadows under the moonlight. Kang Yihang braked suddenly, and the military jeep slid several feet on the gravel before stopping.
The moment the car lights went out, several dark shadows leaped down from the second floor of the beacon tower, and the first one to rush over could only be Gu Yanchen.
“Qingxuan!”
Gu Yanchen's voice was so hoarse that it almost changed its pitch.
He rushed to the front of the car in two steps, opened the passenger door and carefully carried his wife out.
Under the moonlight, the eyes of this usually calm man were red, and his hands trembled as he stroked Ran Qingxuan's face and shoulders, and finally gently fell on his bulging belly.
"Are you and the child... injured?"
His voice was filled with worry from the past twenty days, and his fingertips gently touched the bulging belly.
Ran Qingxuan shook his head without even thinking about it, holding Gu Yanchen's hand and putting it on his cheek: "We are fine."
There was a smile on his lips, but it couldn't hide the fatigue in his eyes.
Gu Yanchen's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms.
He knew too well that it was impossible for a pregnant woman to be "fine" while being in the hands of the Black Feather Guards and under constant surveillance and threat!
He placed his palm against her back, feeling her weak yet strong heartbeat, as if this was the only way to confirm that she was okay.
"Ahem... that..."
Zheng Borui and the others who didn't know martial arts and stepped down one step later coughed twice in embarrassment to remind them, but after seeing the person getting down from the main driver's seat, they became incredulous.
"Lao Kang? Is it really you?"
On the other side, Kang Yihang was hugged tightly as soon as he got out of the car and couldn't move.
Zheng Borui punched his back hard and said excitedly: "The one who can drive must be you!"
"Brother Zheng!" Kang Yihang's voice trembled. The two souls who traveled from the modern times met again on this ancient battlefield, and they were speechless for a moment.
You Wei walked forward with red eyes and introduced himself again to the strange yet familiar brother.
The three grown men hugged each other and cried bitterly. After hearing the sound, Ran Qingxuan twisted and turned to try to break free.
Gu Yanchen finally let go of his wife, but still held her hand tightly: "Let's go up first, it's not safe here."
On the second floor of the beacon tower, the dilapidated observation deck was covered with a few waterproof mats and humiliations.
After Ran Qingxuan was helped to sit down, he went straight to the point: "Husband, I made a decision before I came out..."
Gu Yanchen: "What's the decision?"
"I want to take out the hot weapons in the space and give them to the soldiers of Hulu Pass."
The air suddenly froze and Gu Yanchen's pupils contracted.
Knowing the power of thermal weapons, Zheng Borui froze and took a breath of cold air. Even Kang Yihang was stunned where he stood.
However, Shan Qi and his companions did not know what thermal weapons were, and they all looked at them strangely, wondering why they reacted this way...
"No!" Gu Yanchen refused firmly.
"Do you know what this means? Once the hot weapons in your hands are exposed, not only the Yigui, but also Beiqi, Lanyu and even other countries will..."
"I know." Ran Qingxuan interrupted him calmly.
"The current situation at Hulu Pass is not optimistic. With 3,000 troops against 50,000, we can't defend it without hot weapons."
Zheng Borui couldn't help but interrupt: "Teacher Ran, those guns and bombs are your trump cards. If they are exposed, it is equivalent to exposing the existence of your space..."
“No ifs!”
"Brother Chang treated me with sincerity. Those wounded soldiers called me 'Madam'. There were so many young lives. Do I have to watch them die?"
Gu Yanchen half-knelt in front of his wife, his voice soft but every word weighed: "Qingxuan, you care about those people because you are a kind-hearted doctor, but once hot weapons are used..."
He held her hand slightly harder: "You will become a target of public criticism."
Because the weapons in Ran Qingxuan's hands are inexhaustible. If three thousand people defeat fifty thousand people, it is almost telling the whole world that if they get Ran Qingxuan, they can get the world!
The night wind blew through the broken brick wall, making a whimpering sound.
Ran Qingxuan looked down at his white-knuckled hands and suddenly whispered, "'Doctors should treat illnesses and govern the world.'"
When she raised her head again, there seemed to be sparks burning in her eyes.
"Now the barbarian army is approaching. Behind Hulu Pass are thirteen counties and millions of people. If the pass is breached, blood will flow like a river."
She guided Gu Yanchen's hand to her abdomen: "Our child cannot be born into such a world."
Gu Yanchen felt the slight movement of the fetus through the clothes with his palm and was speechless for a moment.
Zheng Borui and Kang Yihang looked at each other and quietly stepped aside.
"Besides..." Ran Qingxuan took out a scroll of silk book from his waist.
"Qi Jing sent a maid to serve her. After she fell unconscious, I found this on her."
Gu Yanchen unfolded it and his expression suddenly changed...
What he had in his hand was actually the defense map of Hulu Pass, with even the location of the wounded soldiers' camp clearly marked.
"There is a traitor in the army. Although Lieutenant General Li has sent people to guard it, mistakes are inevitable in the chaos..." Ran Qingxuan's voice was cold.
"Without hot weapons, we can't even hold out for a night."
Suddenly, a horn sounded in the distance, and flames could be vaguely seen outside the Northern Qi camp.
Gu Yanchen walked to the ruins and looked over, slamming his fist heavily on the bricks: "Qi Jing's men are mobilizing catapults..."
"Who is he trying to guard?"
Ran Qingxuan stood up and walked to her husband's side, interlocking his fingers: "I am not only your wife, but also a citizen of Northern Qi."
Under the moonlight, Gu Yanchen stared at his wife's resolute profile and finally let out a long sigh.
"You can use it, but you have to disguise it in a way that is acceptable to the world. After all, you can't let people associate it with you."
After a pause, he continued, "It's best to make the enemy think that all this is a punishment from God!"
