A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"Sir, are you alright?" Yi Duo'er, covered in blood, hurried to the city wall. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, and her gaze shot towards Gu Yizhou like an arrow. She immediately rushed to his side, looking him up and down to see if he was injured.

Gu Yizhou was slightly stunned, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He thought Yi Duoer was injured. When he looked carefully, he found that she had no scars.

It turned out that they were rescuing wounded soldiers, and the bloodstains were acquired during the rescue process. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xie Xingchen was unable to free himself and had no chance to assassinate Jiang Lin, besides, he was still trapped in the city.

So he led his men into exile to resist the foreign enemies first. If the city was breached, Tuoba Yu would kill all the people with his cruelty. Then his identity would be exposed and he would be used as a hostage to threaten the Dongli Kingdom.

When he saw Yi Duoer's eyes full of concern for Gu Yizhou, he felt as if a jar of jealousy had been overturned in his heart, and he felt very unhappy.

He frowned, walked forward with displeasure in his heart, suddenly grabbed Yi Duoer's hand, and with a little force, tilted her towards him.

A hint of wariness appeared in his eyes. Everyone was puzzled by Xie Xingchen's sudden action and cast inquiring glances at him.

Seeing this, Ah Zhu, who had already joined the army, hurried forward and said with a bitter tone in his eyes: "Sangsang, who is he? Do you know him?" There was a slight tremor in his voice, as if he was afraid to hear an answer he didn't want to hear.

Duoer forced an awkward smile, gently pushed Xie Xingchen's hand away, and explained to them that she and Xie Xingchen were old acquaintances, and she had never expected to meet him here! He had also come to join the army.

When Gu Yizhou saw that Yi Duoer knew him, he let down his guard and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

However, Ah Zhu's bitterness became even stronger. He really liked Yi Duoer, a love that went deep into his bones. He saw the man who appeared beside her, and this man was handsome and extraordinary.

He instinctively felt disgust.

Xie Xingchen could see that Ah Zhu was thinking about Yi Duoer, so he ignored Ah Zhu's hostile expression.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile full of disdain, and she challenged him with her eyes, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

Ah Zhu was a hot-headed young man with an impulsive personality. How could he stand such provocation? His anger suddenly flared up like a powder keg.

"Swish" came up,

His face flushed red, like an angry bull, and he went up to try to pull Yi Duoer to his side.

But just as he reached her, Xie Xingchen saw through his thoughts. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and struck Ah Zhu with a seemingly light palm, knocking him out. Everyone exclaimed! The sound echoed in the night sky like thunder.

Ah Zhu fell to the ground with a muffled sound and spit out a mouthful of blood.

He glared at Xie Xingchen fiercely, his eyes full of resentment. Yi Duoer hurried forward to help him up, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of anxiety and reproach.

"Xie Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" Yi Duoer's tone was a little angry, blaming him for hurting others over a disagreement.

When Gu Yizhou heard Xie Xingchen's name, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xie Xingchen like a cheetah examining its prey.

His mind raced, and he guessed that Xie Xingchen was the crown prince of Dongli Kingdom, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Seeing Yi Duo'er caring so much about Ah Zhu, Xie Xingchen tilted his head slightly and said unhappily:

"I haven't even used my internal energy yet, and he's already so useless. How can he fight in battle? I don't know how he became a soldier! Humph..." His tone was full of contempt.

"Are you okay?" Yi Duoer asked with concern. Azhu shook his head to indicate that he was fine!

This made Yi Duoer feel relieved, and she patted Azhu's shoulder gently.

She turned to look at Xie Xingchen again, her eyes full of anger, "Do you think everyone is like you, with masters teaching you martial arts since childhood?" After saying that, she helped Ah Zhu down. Ah Zhu took the opportunity to look at Xie Xingchen and cast a proud look at him, as if to say:

"Look, my Sangsang cares about me."

This made Xie Xingchen speechless. He bit his lip in frustration. He wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Gu Yizhou's cold voice.

"The Crown Prince of Dongli Kingdom," this voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xie Xingchen's heart.

Xie Xingchen was stunned, then returned to his usual expression. It seemed that his identity had been exposed, and there was no point in pretending anymore.

A sneer appeared on his lips, and he looked at Gu Yizhou and said in a cold voice:

"Master Gu, nice to meet you."

Xie Xingchen sat down as he spoke. He thought that Gu Yi would warn and threaten him, and then take him away to negotiate terms with Hu Ju. After all, the prince of Dongli Kingdom was an extremely valuable bargaining chip.

But he was wrong this time. Gu Yizhou had no intention of making things difficult for him. He clasped his fists slightly and sincerely thanked him for overcoming the difficulties with them.

Xie Xingchen's face remained calm, without any expression.

"I'm just doing this for her, you don't have to flatter me." He was referring to Yi Duo'er. Of course, Gu Yizhou knew it very well. He didn't know what their relationship was, but he was sure that Yi Duo'er was definitely not an ordinary woman.

After the two of them reached a tacit understanding, they discussed the upcoming war. Since it was hopeless to ask for help from the capital, they now placed their hopes on seeking help from the city closest to Jiangzhou.

"Are you talking about Zhaotong, sir?" Xie Xingchen asked with a slightly puzzled tone, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

Gu Yizhou nodded slightly with a tired face. Zhaotong was only a hundred miles away from here.

The problem now is how to get people out of the siege and seek external help.

The tiger's entrenched military camp——

In the tent in the center, several generals sat on both sides, some with serious expressions, some with disdainful looks.

Sitting right above him was a man in his thirties. He was Tuoba Hong, with a fierce look on his face and a furrowed brow, like a volcano that could erupt at any time. His majestic aura could scare even a child to tears.

"Little Khan, please give me another chance. This time I will definitely take Jiangzhou and present Gu Yizhou's head!" Wendu requested respectfully. He was eager to prove himself again.

A young general named Ashile, standing opposite Plague City, showed a look of disdain and sneered:

"Pengdu, you lost a lot of troops this time. How dare you say that?" His words were like sharp blades, stabbing straight at Wendu.

Wendu's face was ferocious. He was a simple-minded person who only relied on brute force. He was instantly enraged by his words. He suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table in front of him.

"Say it to me again!" After slapping him, Wendu immediately stood up and yelled at Ashile opposite him, his eyes full of anger.

Ashile was not to be outdone and continued to make sarcastic remarks. Such arrogance was the greatest insult to Wendu.

The loud noise annoyed Tuoba Hong, and he roared.

"That's enough! If you say another word, you will be punished by military law!" The voice was like a thunderclap, exploding in the tent, instantly shocking everyone present. The tent fell silent in an instant.

Wendu and the other man sat down again in disappointment. Although there was still anger in their eyes, they did not dare to show it again.

Tuoba Hong rolled his eyes at the two of them and continued with a warm and angry tone:

"My father Khan means to wait until the city's food and supplies are exhausted so that we can launch a large-scale attack. We must first exhaust their energy over the next few days. Ashile, tonight, you will lead 10,000 troops for a night attack."

Ashile immediately stood up excitedly, raised his hand and saluted, saying, "Yes!" His eyes were full of joy at the prospect of making a contribution.

Wendu rolled his eyes at Ashile in disbelief, but he was helpless and could only clench his fists and endure his provocation.

In the evening, in Jiangzhou City, Yi Duoer finished her work.

I just finished taking a shower and felt like my body was drained.

She did not return to the mansion, but stayed in the place where the wounded were being treated. The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine and blood.

She made a bed on the floor and slept there. Her thin figure looked particularly tough.

"The enemy is attacking at night!" A sudden loud shout woke Yi Duoer from her sleep. The sleepiness in her eyes instantly disappeared, and was replaced by alertness.

She rushed outside impatiently.

When Xie Xingchen saw Yi Duoer coming out, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yi Duoer's arm. His eyes were full of anxiety. "It's too dangerous here. I'll have someone take you back to the palace."

Yi Duoer shook her head and said firmly, "Sister Yuerong is so good to me, I can't let her be a widow."

Xie Xingchen was speechless... What kind of logic is this?

He still refused, but he couldn't resist Yi Duoer's coquettish and persistent begging. He sighed slightly and said that he could take her upstairs, but she had to stay by his side at all times.

Yi Duoer nodded, her eyes firm as if to say: "I won't hold you back."

When they climbed up the city wall, the enemy troops below were challenging them. The originally dark environment was now as bright as day under the illumination of numerous torches.

The blazing torches illuminated the enemy's hideous faces, like a group of evil spirits from hell.

When Gu Yizhou saw Yi Duoer, his eyes were filled with helplessness, and he shouted, "Nonsense! What kind of place is this? What are you doing here? Someone, take Sangsang back!"

Yi Duoer had finally come here, how could she go back like this? She pursed her lips tightly.
