Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

Chu Zhao has always been calm, because she has never been clear about her identity, and this ignorance makes her even more fearless.

But now, seeing Murong Xiao walking towards her step by step with murderous intent, her heartbeat could not help but quicken, and she held her breath through the curtain hat.

Everyone was silent in their positions, their eyes following Murong Xiao.

Inside the tall and wide city gate, the only sound was the sound of Murong Xiao's military boots stepping on the bluestone.

a bit.

Twice.

Three times.

Xie Chengfeng had already left the city gate, holding his horse and looking back from a distance. Seeing that Murong Xiao had arrived in front of Chu Zhao, he really wanted to rush back and snatch Chu Zhao out at all costs.

But reason told him that this wouldn't work.

If you go back at this time, not only will you not be able to save Ah Zhao, but you will also fall into Murong Xiao's hands.

Rather than doing this, it is better to protect yourself first and then wait for an opportunity to rescue.

But what if Murong Xiao didn't give him a chance to rescue him and killed Azhao directly?

Xie Chengfeng was hesitant. Only then did he realize how much courage and determination it takes to make a decisive decision.

He held the hilt of the sword tightly and watched helplessly as Murong Xiao stretched out his hand to lift the black gauze on Chu Zhaowei's hat.

"Run, why don't you run?" Murong Xiao lifted up the black veil and looked at Chu Zhao with a bit of ridicule.

"I ran away because you were chasing me." Chu Zhaoqiang calmed himself and met his deep gaze, "I want to know, why are you chasing me?"

The unfamiliar voice made Murong Xiao's eyebrows jump slightly.

For a moment, he began to doubt his judgment again.

It's easy for a person to change his appearance, but it's not that easy to change his voice.

Is this woman really not Chu Zhao?

He narrowed his eyes and reached out to touch Chu Zhao's face, trying to see what kind of face she had behind the mask.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the direction of Xie Chengfeng, and a large group of people who looked like ordinary people rushed toward the city gate in panic.

"Help, soldier, help, there are bandits, the bandits are coming..."

Those people were running and shouting, and the sound of horse hooves and shouts of death could be heard from behind at the same time.

The soldiers guarding the gate immediately became vigilant, the sentries blew their horns, and the archers on the towers also unloaded their arrows.

Murong Xiao looked stern and walked quickly towards the city gate.

He wanted Beiyuan to think favorably of Chu Zhao, but felt that he was unreliable, so he personally grabbed Chu Zhao's wrist and pulled her to go with him.

Chu Zhao was pulled by him and stumbled. First he was curious about what happened in front of him, and secondly he wanted to see if he could take advantage of the chaos to escape, so he followed him obediently without struggling.

When they reached the gate of the city, the group of people also ran to the bottom of the city tower. They were in a mess like a flock of sheep being chased by wolves, and Xie Chengfeng, who had just walked out not far, was also trapped among them.

The horse was frightened and bounced wildly. Xie Chengfeng was worried that it would trample on the people, so he had to loosen the reins and let it run away.

"Stop, let's fire the arrow if we go any further."

The guards raised their spears and shouted at the crowd, but to no avail. The frightened people just rushed forward regardless.

"Master Bing, let us in, the bandits want to kill people."

"Although we are from Shuzhou, we are closer to Yunzhou, so we can be considered half Yunzhou people!"

The people were noisy and crying, and the sound of horse hooves and shouts of death were approaching from behind.

Chu Zhao crossed the crowd and looked at the group of bandits on horseback from a distance.

Those people were brandishing weapons, their horses were fat and strong, fierce and sturdy, and their combat effectiveness was comparable to that of a small army.

"My lord, what should I do?" The general guarding the gate looked at Murong Xiao in embarrassment.

The incident happened so suddenly that Murong Xiao didn't have time to think carefully and made an impromptu decision: "Let them in and gather people to guard the city gate. If any bandits dare to approach, shoot them immediately. After the bandits retreat, let the people back out."

One level separates them, so the Yunzhou soldiers cannot go to the border of Shuzhou to suppress the bandits, so they can only guard the level to prevent the bandits from entering.

The general who defended the city received the order and immediately ordered his men to let the people in.

The common people poured in like a tide. In the chaos, Chu Zhao saw a bandit who was chasing after him with sinister eyes and a ferocious face. A scar stretched diagonally from the middle of his left eyebrow to his temple.

This man brandished a long knife and rushed over at once.

Chu Zhao suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted in desperation: "Don't let people in, they are in the same group!"

Murong Xiao was stunned for a moment. He barely had time to think before he drew his sword and slashed at the first civilian who rushed in.

The moment the man fell to the ground, he had already figured out what Chu Zhao meant.

This group of people fleeing for their lives were all men, and there were no women or children.

Therefore, they are not common people at all, they should be bandits.

The situation changed so quickly that it took a few breaths for the soldiers guarding the gate to react, and they hurriedly waved their weapons to prevent the bandits from entering.

Beiyuan also rushed over with soldiers from the palace and blocked the way of these people. There was a melee between the two sides inside the city gate.

The archers on the tower drew their bows and shot at the group of bandits on horseback behind.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandits quickly turned around and retreated along the same route.

Tingyunguan Pass is just the border between two provinces. Because of the dangerous terrain, the pass was set up here. It is guarded by a small number of soldiers. Its function is similar to a large beacon tower. It does not have a large number of troops stationed all year round like the border pass.

Therefore, if Murong Xiao hadn't suddenly led his troops, this group of disguised bandits would have probably deceived the sentries and entered Yunzhou.

As for why they suddenly entered Yunzhou on a large scale, it is currently unknown. They can only quell the riot first, and then find survivors for torture.

The bandits had probably been planning this for a long time, but they didn't expect that they would bump into King Jingnan who was trying to capture his escaped wife.

So, after a melee, the well-trained royal army quickly killed the group of bandits, leaving several seriously injured bandits for torture.

Murong Xiao put away his sword after fighting, and suddenly realized something was wrong. Looking around, he saw that Chu Zhao had already disappeared.

hateful!

Let that woman run away again!

Murong Xiao was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. The next moment, he actually chopped off a bandit's head with his sword.

There was dead silence all around.

Beiyuan was also startled, and subconsciously said in his heart: You won't blame me this time, right?
