The Western Chu army was about to disband, and Chu Xi received a system notification.

"The host has completed the mission of the plot and can now open the space-time channel. Is the host ready to go back now or wait a little longer?"

The system's voice sounded in Chu Xi's mind.

At night, Chu Xi stood on the city wall, listening to the whistling sounds from the border and the cool evening breeze.

Being close to the river has its advantages. Even though it is already May, it is not too hot at night and the cool evening breeze is quite comfortable.

Chu Xi stood by the city wall with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the Western Chu army's tent. He listened to the system's questions, but did not answer. Instead, he looked up at the night sky.

The night sky was shrouded in fog today. The moon was not visible and even the stars were exceptionally dim.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Yuhuai and Rong Qingzhu went up the city wall together. It seemed that they had agreed to come and find Chu Xi.

Two of them stood on Chu Xi's left and right, and the three of them stood side by side, following Chu Xi's gaze and looking up at the night sky.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Yuhuai asked curiously.

"Look at my hometown." Chu Xi's tone was a little vague, and his words were like seeing flowers in the fog. "I wonder if the night sky in my hometown is brighter than here, so I can see the stars more clearly."

Tang Yuhuai had the mindset of a typical military commander. He did not hear any other emotions in Chu Xi's words and only took the hometown he mentioned as the capital.

He stared at the night sky for a long while, studying it carefully, and then said, "This is not easy. The war will be over soon. When we return to the capital, we will be able to see it!"

Rong Qingzhu stared at Chu Xi's jade-like face for a long time without saying anything.

Although he heard something wrong in his words, he just thought that the war was about to end. Qi Bai suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and his heart was filled with emotion, so he said such words.

"Yeah, it's almost over." Chu Xi retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the long sword at his waist.

The sword she used to use to shoot Jian Qi was stabbed into the opponent's body, and she was never able to get it back.

This sword is new and was given to me by Zhou Yichen.

Chu Xi's eyes fell on the sword, not because he missed Zhou Yichen, but because he was recalling every detail of the fight with others in Xi'an City.

In the 21st century, even if such a thing really happened, she would never be the one to rush to the front line.

Such experiences are always unforgettable.

She slowly stroked the hilt of the sword with her slender fingers and sighed, "I can go back now."

Tang Yuhuai stretched lazily, "Yeah, I can finally go back. I haven't listened to music for a long time. I must listen to it to my heart's content this time."

He didn't notice the strange emotion in Chu Xi's words at all.

Rong Qingzhu vaguely felt that Qi Bai's tone was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange. He could only attribute it to the fact that the war broke out suddenly and ended suddenly...

So Qi Bai is a little uncomfortable?

He wanted to continue exploring, but Tang Yuhuai suddenly came over and inserted himself between them.

He put one hand on Chu Xi's shoulder and patted Rong Qingzhu with the other, smiling brightly and speaking with high spirits.

"Why don't you two come with me and broaden your horizons? Your families control you too strictly, and you are not even used to such a small scene!"

Recalling his first experience in a brothel, Rong Qingzhu instinctively glanced at Chu Xi, his ears red, "......"

Chu Xi glanced at Tang Yuhuai speechlessly and opened his hand, "You go if you want to go, I won't go."

By then, she would have gone home, so how could she have the time to accompany him to listen to music?

Tang Yuhuai was amused by Chu Xi's attitude. "It's OK that Rong Qingzhu is a civil servant, but Qi Bai comes from a military family and has hardly been there. Isn't this too boring?"

Rong Qingzhu was stunned and dazed.

It was not because of what Tang Yuhuai said, but because of Qi Bai’s answer.

He was thinking, was Qi Bai's rejection without a second thought this time because he already had a fiancée?

"I know you and Miss Jiang are already engaged, but that doesn't matter! We're not going to do anything, we're just listening to the ditty. You and Miss Jiang should explain it to her, and she won't misunderstand."

Tang Yuhuai was a carefree person, and he didn't lower his voice deliberately when he said this.

His frank and generous expression was entirely because he was telling the truth.

He had been to the famous Qingchengfang in the capital so many times, but he had never touched anyone and only focused on listening to the music.

In later times, it is actually equivalent to going to a concert.

However, since this place is not a concert venue in later generations but a brothel, it is natural for people to have wild imaginations.

Chu Xi shook off Tang Yuhuai's hand and said, "I said I'm not going, so I'm not going."

Tang Yuhuai sighed and firmly believed that Qi Bai was dominating his wife in the future because of Jiang Zhenyao.

However, when he saw that Qi Bai was determined not to go, he suddenly felt bored and didn't want to go anymore.

The robes of the three people were fluttering in the wind.

It was not until a long time later that Chu Xi wanted to go back to rest, and Rong Qingzhu and Tang Yuhuai followed her down the city wall to sleep.

*

The next day, Qi Minsong, who was ordered to attack Xi'an City, sent people to count the troops and found that less than one-third of the people were left.

As the commanding general, he should have captured all these soldiers, but he did not order anyone to chase them. Instead, he put on armor and charged towards Xi'an city without saying a word.

Qi Minsong was determined to die. Since he could not rescue the captured soldiers, nor persuade the emperor to agree, the only thing he could do was to die on the battlefield.

The remaining one third of the soldiers followed him into battle.

The South Gate, which had always been tightly closed, was completely opened this time. Fifty thousand soldiers of the Great Zhou rushed out of the city and confronted them head-on.

Before the actual fighting began, just the sound of the horn frightened many Western Chu soldiers.

Seeing a young man in white riding a horse rushing towards them from afar, many Western Chu soldiers threw away their armor and weapons and ran back!

Apparently, Chu Xi's terrifying presence has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and almost all the soldiers of Western Chu firmly believe that he is immortal, let alone unbeatable.

So, if you meet her, don’t hesitate, just turn around and run!

Chu Xi and Qi Minsong faced each other head-on. He was determined to die. He ignored the pain from the wounds Chu Xi cut on his body again and again, and only wanted to die in her hands.

Chu Xi knew that in this world, it would be better for Qi Minsong to die on the battlefield than to go back. At least the people of Western Chu would remember that he died in battle, and the Emperor of Western Chu would not vent his anger on his family.

Therefore, she did not attempt to capture Qi Minsong alive, but fought him with all her strength.

After fifty moves, Qi Minsong was obviously unable to cope with the attack and failed to dodge, so Chu Xi pierced his chest with a sword.

The wound was very deep. Even if a military doctor treated him in time, he would probably not be able to go to the battlefield in the future and could only recuperate.

But Qi Minsong did not go back to treat his wounds. Instead, he stood on the ground with his spear, knelt down with half of his knees bent, and laughed softly.

"This... is also good."

He felt the blood draining from his body quickly, his body gradually getting colder, and his consciousness becoming blurred.

Before he died, he thought: If it weren't for Chu Jiang, perhaps Xi'an city would have been taken long ago.

Time waits for no one, and blaming others will not change the outcome.
