That night.
In the dead of night, a sound suddenly came.
One stone after another pierced the night sky and crashed into the city walls of Night Abyss City.
Qi Qingxu had been sleeping in the house on the city wall recently, and such a loud noise startled him. As soon as he woke up, he immediately ordered the people in charge of the catapults to move the catapults and launch stones.
As for him, he walked to the city wall and looked around.
Lanterns were hung around their city walls, and also on the trees on both sides of the walls, but the range of light they could provide was ultimately not very far.
He could see nothing but a few catapults.
It's unclear how many people came.
Qi Qingxu immediately sent someone to report to his grandfather.
General Qi hadn't been sleeping well lately, so he woke up when the enemy attacked. By the time Qi Qingxu sent someone to report, he and Qi Wu were already preparing to leave.
They learned that an unknown number of soldiers had arrived.
General Qi immediately ordered Qi Wu to muster the troops. Everyone was ready and waiting in place. Once he had the signal fire lit, they were all to head towards the east gate.
He rode his horse over the city wall.
Stones kept flying overhead, and there were significantly more of them than before.
Visibility is low late at night.
Several of their soldiers were wounded in a short period of time.
Seeing her grandfather approach, Qi Qingxu came to his side and said, "Grandpa, it seems there are quite a few people here..."
Are you scared?
General Qi asked.
Qi Qingxu shook his head: "I am your grandson, how could I be afraid?"
Upon hearing this...
General Qi patted his shoulder and said, "Grandpa knows you're not afraid, but I am. If a fight breaks out, the situation will be unfavorable for us. You should take some men and leave Yeyuan City in time to escort Li Fengyu and the others to a safe place to hide."
"No, I won't leave!"
After Qi Qingxu finished speaking, she continued, "Grandpa, isn't Li Fengyu a criminal? Why are you still..."
He was only halfway through his sentence.
General Qi told him what he knew, and then added, "There must be a reason why the Prince of Li's men immediately wanted Li Fengyu. Moreover, the Emperor's previous choice for the throne was not the Prince of Li and his men, but Li Fengyu..."
Qi Qingxu blinked and said, "Grandpa, do you mean that the Emperor may have written an edict of succession, passing the throne to Li Fengyu, which is why Prince Li wants him?"
If that's the case.
Why was he sentenced to exile before?
Qi Qingxu was very puzzled.
General Qi looked into the distance and said, "This is just my guess, but whether it is true or not, Li Fengyu must not be harmed."
"I'm not leaving."
Qi Qingxu pouted.
General Qi glared at him sternly: "What do you mean by 'military orders are like mountains'? Yes, I am your grandfather, and I am also the general of the Beida Camp. As one of the Beida Camp's men, as one of my subordinates, you should obey orders!"
Qi Qingxu neither spoke nor looked at him.
At this moment.
A sound came from not far away.
General Qi and his men looked over and saw a large number of enemy troops driving siege engines toward them.
"Light the signal fire!"
At General Qi's command, the soldiers on the side rushed to take orders.
The smoke signals rise.
The soldiers who were waiting for orders all ran towards General Qi and his men with Qi Wu.
The city gates opened.
Qi Wu led his men out to fight their way out.
"I'll go too."
Qi Qingxu was about to go down when General Qi stopped him: "You brat, be careful. You're the only son in our family. If your father is in trouble, you can't be in trouble either."
Qi Qingxu: "..."
Sure enough, his grandparents were truly in love.
Father was just an accident.
Qi Qingxu said "I understand" and then leaped down from the city wall, before riding off on horseback.
