Inside the Wubao.
Xue Qianqian and Liu Yiyi clasped their hands tightly together. Both of them felt a little uneasy as they had heard about the brutality of the barbarians.
Being called barbaric means being uncivilized. What is the difference between such people and beasts?
The two women didn't dare to think about what consequences they would face if they fell into their hands.
"Qianqian, if the barbarians really break through the fort, we will commit suicide." Liu Yiyi said as she took out a pair of scissors and handed them to Xue Qianqian.
"Sister Yiyi."
"I know this is difficult, but there is no better way now. If you don't want to be humiliated, then you have no choice but to die. I regret not helping you escape the marriage now."
"If I had sent you out of the city to Yiyun Village, maybe you could have escaped this disaster."
Liu Yiyi really treated Xue Qianqian as her own sister. Xue Qianqian asked Liu Yiyi to pretend to be her so that she could escape and find Pei Yun. However, Liu Yiyi did not agree and strongly opposed Xue Qianqian going to the mountain village.
Now I feel a little regretful.
Xue Qianqian smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Yiyi. If we really have to die, it would be nice if we die together. At least we'll have a companion."
"It's just a pity that I can't see Brother Pei for the last time."
"What does your Brother Pei look like that makes you so obsessed with him?" Liu Yiyi became curious.
Xue Qianqian is not a person who has never seen the world. Pei Feng and Zhang Zeshan are both handsome men, and her brother Liu Xiao is even more of a young hero.
Xue Qianqian didn't even like him, which made Liu Yiyi curious about what the bandit leader looked like that could have bewitched Xue Qianqian to such an extent.
"I don't like him because of his appearance."
As Xue Qianqian spoke, she took out a piece of drawing paper from her bosom and unfolded it, "This is Brother Pei."
Liu Yiyi was stunned after taking a look at it. She had seen this painting before in Xue Qianqian's room. It was the portrait of the assassin who hid in her room that night.
She thought that Xue Qianqian just wanted to see who the wanted person was, so she took the portrait back to her room. She didn't expect that this was the person Xue Qianqian liked.
Thinking about the close contact she had with this man that night, she had been thinking about this assassin these days. After all, the other party had seen her whole body, and even her private parts had touched his face.
Thinking about it now, Liu Yiyi still feels shy. She originally thought that she would never know who the assassin was in her lifetime, but she didn't expect that it was the bandit leader that Xue Qianqian liked.
This is a bit embarrassing.
"Yiyi, Qianqian, the southern barbarians are coming. Do you want to hide in the cellar?"
Just then, Pei Feng's voice was heard outside.
Liu Yiyi hurriedly opened the door and saw Pei Feng standing outside. He had not yet fully recovered after being severely injured by Pei Yun, and his inability to move was a pain in his heart.
Of course he pretended nothing had happened in front of outsiders, and only his grandfather Pei Yanshu, his father Pei Li, Xue Wenju and Doctor Yao knew about his inability to control his body.
Since this concerns the reputation of the Pei family, Xue Wenju and Doctor Yao naturally would not say anything nonsense.
Looking at the two beauties appearing before him, Pei Feng felt a flash of pain in his heart. From now on, he would never have the chance to meet beautiful women again. This feeling was more painful than killing him.
"The southern barbarians are coming?"
Liu Yiyi spoke, with some panic in her tone.
"Well, for safety's sake, we might as well go to the cellar. There's a secret passage in there. Once the fort is breached, we can still escape through the secret passage."
Liu Yiyi frowned, "How come I didn't know there was a secret passage?"
Pei Feng said: "My family built it specifically to prevent the fort from being breached and leaving no way out."
"We won't go to the cellar. If the fort is really breached, it's better to die than to become a stray dog."
Xue Qianqian said: "My father has sent someone to deliver a letter to Captain Yuan stationed in Qingyang County. I believe that officers and soldiers will be here soon."
"Qianqian, let's go to the wall and take a look."
After Liu Yiyi finished speaking, she took Xue Qianqian's hand and left. Pei Feng frowned slightly, feeling that the two women seemed a little cold towards him. He asked them to go to the secret passage, so even if they didn't go, they should at least say thank you.
But he didn't know that the two girls really didn't like him in their hearts.
Of course it was because of Pei Yun. Pei Yun had assassinated Pei Feng. To Xue Qianqian, Pei Feng was the enemy.
Pei Yun also made Liu Yiyi feel uneasy, so naturally she would not be too enthusiastic towards Pei Feng.
…
Outside the dock.
Chi Wushu arrived with three thousand barbarian soldiers. When he saw the tall fort, his eyes narrowed slightly and he knew why these people had come to hide here.
Compared with the county town, the fort has a compact structure and is better defended.
He had already seen the people standing on the wall. They were a mob, obviously a hastily assembled militia. Chi Wushu sneered at this militia with little combat effectiveness.
On the wall of the fort, all the young and strong men were extremely nervous. The officers were also nervous, and their hands holding their swords were shaking.
Anyone who has never been to the battlefield will be nervous when facing barbarians.
Xue Wenju's throat tightened as he looked at the black mass of barbarian soldiers. The other nobles simply did not show up and all hid in the cellar so that they could escape at any time.
County Lieutenant Wang Zhiyuan kept taking deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. Among the officials of Ruifeng County, he was the only military officer who possessed some military talents, and he would be the one to command this battle.
"Archers ready."
Seeing the barbarian soldiers getting closer, Wang Zhiyuan roared, and immediately the officers equipped with bows and arrows drew their arrows and put them on the bowstrings.
Chi Wushu laughed sneerfully. The rattan armor on their bodies was not afraid of arrows. Unless they were hit in the face, the arrows posed little threat to them.
"My men, the fort has the food and women we need. Now let's show these Jing people the price of provoking us. Go in, steal their food, play with their women, attack!"
