Chapter 32
Kyoto.

The street was full of people, the yelling of vendors, the sound of children laughing and crying, all kinds of conversations, and the sound of firecrackers mixed in, these sounds converged into a river and rushed into Ye Zhiqiu's ears.

If you didn't come all the way from the border town, just looking at the style and appearance of Kyoto, it would be a peaceful and prosperous age.

She led the horse to Suzaku Street, where there is a stone statue of Suzaku, which is the landmark building in Kyoto that shopkeeper Huo told them.

Ye Zhiqiu made an appointment with Li Nian, he would wait here for half an hour at You hour every day, it was still early, she leaned against the stone statue to calculate the progress of this mission.

Twelve people, now there are six left.

Su Xiaoxiao demanded that none of them be missing. The five barbarians at least knew where they were and had a direction.

Hongshang, a person who has been walking on the road, where can I find him?
She looked at the sky, she still had to take advantage of it!
————————

South City.

Zhao Mingzhi looked at Ma Dong in despair, his footsteps were weak, and he collapsed on the chair.

"grown ups."

Seeing Zhao Mingzhi's situation, Ma Dong shouted anxiously.

"Why do these people have the guts to attack Nancheng's own guards, but let the barbarians slaughter them outside?" Zhao Mingzhi's trembling voice was tinged with tears.

Ma Dong's face was blushing, which was an abnormal color.

He and Li Dahai went out of the city to report the news, but they were ambushed by the barbarian army. In order to let him run back to report the news, Li Dahai held back a small group of five people by himself.

Ma Dong didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that if he turned around, he would rush over and die with the barbarians, but between the two, one of them must send the information back.

Hearing Zhao Mingzhi's words, Ma Dong didn't understand why these people acted recklessly in Nancheng, but they didn't resist at all when they encountered barbarians.

This time, the people in Nancheng were deserters who dragged their families and mouths away. They took everything they could take away, including food, clothes and quilts, and even pots and pans as long as they could take away. The army sent food and grass!

He looked at Mr. Zhao with a worried face. In just ten days, he was already very old.

Zhao Mingzhi slowly straightened his spine, clapped his big hands on the table, and said in a decisive voice: "Defend the city, we must defend the city, we must defend Nancheng, we cannot let the barbarian army use the road to Huacheng from here."

Ma Dong nodded heavily.

"I will discuss it with Captain Qian again, Ma Dong...you go to Li Dahai's house...the old sister-in-law has only one son, she must know."

Ma Dong looked at the lord's lonely back, his nose was sore, he let out a long breath, he turned and left resolutely.

——————

As the sun set, orange light shone on the person's body, covering him with a layer of light-colored brilliance.

Li Nian saw a familiar figure from a long distance away, and he ran happily while shouting.

"Brother, you are finally here."

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Li Nian and waved at him: "Slow down."

Li Nian, who was running over, stared at Xia Mu intently, his breath was a little unsteady from his violent running, and after taking a few breaths, he said, "Brother, why did you take so long to come, I come here every day to wait for you, The more you wait, the more confused you become..."

His eye circles started to turn red, and he felt a little embarrassed again, muttering: "I ran too fast just now, it seems that there is sand in my eyes."

Ye Zhiqiu felt a little sour in her heart, she followed the words and said: "Ah! There's sand in your eyes, come and blow it to you, big brother."

Li Nian quickly waved his hand: "Okay, brother is already healed."

He looked left and right to change the subject: "Brother, where is Xiao Hei's luggage?"

"I reserved a room at the Ruyi Inn, and the luggage is already in the room. Let's go, brother will take you to dinner first."

"Row."

"Brother, I know a place that is delicious and affordable." Li Nian took the reins from Ye Zhiqiu.

As long as he has a rest time in the past ten days, he has been investigating the situation outside, and he is now familiar with the places around the general's mansion.

…………

Li Nian graciously picked up vegetables for Ye Zhiqiu, looking at the rice bowls piled up into a hill, Ye Zhiqiu said helplessly: "Little brother, if you pick it up again, I don't know where to pick up the chopsticks."

"Okay, okay, don't pinch, come, brother, drink."

Ye Zhiqiu felt uncomfortable, Li Nian really regarded him as someone to rely on!
But Jingdu himself will not be able to stay for a few days, what will he do after he leaves?
The two clinked wine glasses, and Ye Zhiqiu began to ask about the situation after parting.

After they parted in Lincheng, the Liu family brought Li Nian into the capital.

In the early years, the Liu family bought a small courtyard on Baihu Street. Li Nian remembered that his elder brother told him to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Liu family, so he wrote down the address. Afterwards, Li Nian entered the General's Mansion, and the old lady in the mansion arranged for him Learn martial arts with a coach.

After the two of them finished their meal, the night was slightly cold, and Li Nian stood at the door reluctantly saying, "Brother, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled: "No, your priority right now is to concentrate on practicing martial arts, don't be distracted, if elder brother has something to do, I will go to the General's Mansion to find you."

Li Nian gave a soft "hmm", he knew that his eldest brother had always been busy, and it was good to be able to take time to look at himself.

"Brother, I'll go first, and you must remember to look for me in the future.

"Well, let's go in."

Ye Zhiqiu's gentle eyes reminded Li Nian of his sister, but she had already been captured by barbarians...

He endured the soreness in his heart, turned around and entered through the corner gate of the General's Mansion, now that he was powerless, he couldn't do anything.

Brother is right, the first task now is to study martial arts hard, so that everything you want in your heart can be realized.

Not to mention Li Nian's hard work, on the second day, Ye Zhiqiu followed Li Nianliu's address and came to the Liu residence, holding the token of the Liu family in her hand, and she soon met Liu Hua.

After a polite conversation between the two, she changed the topic to the battle in Nancheng.

"I wonder if Mr. Liu heard about Nancheng?"

Liu Hua was worried: "I heard it. A businessman brought the information from Huacheng to Kyoto. Now teahouses and restaurants are talking about it."

"How's the battle going?"

From ancient times to the present, what the common people know is mostly on the surface, the rich and powerful are probably in the middle class, and absolute secrets are only in the hands of a few.

Now the rumors in the streets and alleys are that the border city has been broken, but there are different versions of the battle situation in Nancheng.

Liu Hua's news comes from his family friends in Kyoto.

What they knew was that the border town was broken, and Nancheng was still under Zhao Mingzhi's control.

In the imperial study, Emperor Liang was furious.

These barbarians were ambitious and cruel. He stared at Li Jing's letter with burning eyes, wishing he could burn through the letter paper.

Tens of thousands of people in Nancheng were massacred, and now there are only more than 2 defenders left in the entire Nancheng.

Li Jing was trapped in Huacheng and couldn't support him. He said in the letter that the barbarian army was brave and good at fighting, and they had planned for a long time, and Great Zhou was in danger.

Emperor Liang sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression. Could it be that the Great Zhou's country would really be ruined in his own hands?If this is the case, what face do you have to meet the dead ancestors under Jiuquan.

Ye Zhiqiu touched his earlobe while listening to the information revealed by Liu Hua.
