After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

With the Shence Army, who had changed into official uniforms, they walked quickly through the night. Nowadays, there is martial law inside and outside Chang'an City, and patrols are tighter than before.

Fortunately, Chongyi Square is not too far from Xingqing Palace, and everyone is walking through Anqu. Soon we arrived at the gate of Chongyifang. The two of them were ladders, carrying each other over the wall and into the house.

When it was Pei Jiaoran's turn, she glanced at Feng Yuanxian. Take a step forward and jump over the wall. He calmly walked to the square door, unlocked it and pushed it open, signaling for others to come in.

Walking along the road in the square, Pei Jiaoran glanced in the direction of his house. Thinking that he had an important responsibility this time, he turned around and went to Li Sikong's house. He walked around to the back door and knocked on the door.

At this moment, the direct descendants of the Li family had been waiting here for a long time, and they hurriedly opened the door when they heard knocking on the door. Seeing that several people were wearing rebel armor, they were all stunned. Pei Jiaoran revealed his identity at this time.

After confirming their identities, the Li family welcomed them in.

After exchanging pleasantries, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at Li Sikong, who was standing behind the crowd.

Li Sikong silently walked out from behind the crowd. Looking at Pei Jiaoran in front of him, there was a smile in his eyes. Unexpectedly, I could see this young female minister looking so embarrassed.

Sensing the narrow-mindedness in Li Sikong's eyes, Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly and said, "It's quite fun under the Longshou Canal."

Instructing his cronies to take Feng Yuanxian and others down to rest first, Li Sikong led Pei Jiaoran to his study alone to talk.

Stopping at the door of the study, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and cupped his hands to Li Sikong. He quickly hid behind the bamboo forest and took off his armor.

Hearing the sound of heavy objects falling into the water, Li Sikong squinted at Pei Jiaoran who came out. The armor had been removed from her body, leaving only a narrow-sleeved black robe.

The two entered together and sat across from each other.

"Why did that kid let you come?" Li Sikong poured a cup of tea for her, looking puzzled, "He was actually willing to put you in danger."

Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and said, "There is nothing in this world that is not dangerous. What's more, I have my own considerations when entering Chang'an."

"Is that so...when is he going to attack the city?"

"At first light."

Speaking of this, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked out the window.

It will be dawn in two hours.

According to the agreement, Li Xiujing would lead his army to attack Guangtaimen. And her mission is to protect Li Sikong. In case Dugujun suffered another defeat, the butcher's knife would fall on the Li family.

"I have an idea." Li Sikong looked at Pei Jiaoran and said leisurely.

"what?"

"Lobby all the aristocratic families in Chang'an to ensure that they don't make any mistakes at the critical moment. How important King Qin's first contribution is, you are more important than anyone else." Li Sikong showed deep meaning in his eyes and smiled, "Which of the remaining aristocratic families in Chang'an doesn't want to do anything wrong? Rely on meritorious service. If we don't deal with them, the Shence Army will not be at peace."

Listening to Li Sikong's understatement, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows. In terms of rewards based on merit, killing Dugujun and recovering Chang'an can be considered meritorious. But who gets the first victory will affect the direction of the future.

Although Li Sikong has not been involved in the central government in recent years, he has been in officialdom for many years. It was obvious at a glance what Pei Jiaoran was planning.

"But they may not believe me. I'm afraid many people will remember this achievement." Pei Jiaoran said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's not important. As long as you control the center, what else can they do? You are better at these methods than me." Li Sikong paused and continued: "It's time for me to retreat. This burden has been handed over to that person." When I was a kid."

Looking at Li Sikong, Pei Jiaoran smiled cryptically. The moment the sky broke, she escaped into the dim morning light.

Mist spreads over the city, and the sky is exhausted. It really doesn’t look like what Dawn should be like. The warm color that should have been exposed in the east was also mixed with the leaden ash. The city wall under the fog looks like a meandering snake.

Guangtai Gate is the defense line of Beiyuan Wall. At this moment, the defenders at the top of the city were all holding crossbows and patrolling attentively. It seems that he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will miss the enemy's military information.

Under the mist, there was a loud sound of drums.

"Coming, the enemy is coming!"

However, after waiting for a long time, it was still quiet under the mist. There was no movement at all.

The captain glared at the sergeant next to him impatiently, "What are you talking about! There are no enemies in this foggy day!"

The reprimanded sergeant lowered his head and shut up.

Half an hour later, the sound of drums sounded again in the mist.

But apart from the sound of drums, there was no movement in the mist. After coming down three or four times in a row, the already nervous soldiers at the top of the city were in an even worse mood.

The fog is thick. We don't know where the enemy is at all, let alone attack rashly.

The team at the top of the city stared straight ahead.

I don't know how long it took, but a bugle sounded from the battlement to warn of the enemy's situation. The sergeant responsible for keeping an eye on the movement outside the city hurriedly ran down to report the situation.

When the team heard this, they immediately dared not slack off and hurriedly ordered someone to report the matter to His Majesty. He will first command the head-on wave of enemies.

As the spring sun rises, the morning fog also disappears. Not far from the city, what appeared in front of the rebels was the Shence Army with clear banners and arrayed opposite each other.

The general at the head was wearing bright light armor. He raised his head to reveal his sharp eyes. It was Li Xiujing.

Li Xiujing reached out and took the bow and arrow from He Liang.

Buckle the string and loosen the string, three arrows in succession. The three arrows roared away in the wind.

Dugujun came after hearing the news. As soon as he arrived, he saw three arrows held head to tail, coming from a distance. After three muffled "poofs", the nail was nailed into the flagpole behind him. Even at a distance of a hundred steps, it still has the power to penetrate Yang. The arrow tail trembled violently, and sawdust flew into the air. The flagpole made a crisp sound. A gust of spring breeze blew by, and after falling with a "click", the flagpole broke and fell backwards.

The flag fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Sheathing her bow and arrow, Li Xiujing raised her head and looked at Dugu Bo, who was also wearing bright light armor, at the top of the city, his eyes still cold and sharp. At this time, Dugu Bo was also looking at him.

The Li family in Longxi, like the Dugu family, is also the core of the Guanlong family. Li Xiujing's ancestors served as central ministers, and the rest of the clan were also outstanding figures in the army. A hundred years ago, he got a blessing in disguise during the An family's rebellion and became the head of the Guanlong family. After Li Xiujing's grandfather took over as the queen of Longxi County, he led troops to fight against Tubo several times. His archery skills were even more outstanding. He used three arrows to anchor the Tianshan Mountains to frighten the Tibetans, and then marched on a snowy night to quell the Tuyuhun rebellion. And Li Xiujing's father was also good at archery.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiujing's archery skills were even better than those of the two. Recalling that his efforts to recruit Li Xiujing were fruitless, Dugujun narrowed his eyes.

Before he could speak. The drums in the Shence Army below were beating like thunder, and the horns were sounding endlessly. Qianqi Juechen swept over and rushed directly to the city.

The beacon on the city head is swaying. The Shence Army below set up a ladder to attack the city and climbed up against the rain of arrows from the rebels.

Once the city of Chang'an was built, it was built very solidly. No matter how fierce the Shence Army's offensive is, it will be difficult to capture it for a while. Seeing the opportunity, Dugujun ordered his elite troops to go out of the city to meet the enemy, while he climbed to the city to take command.

The fierce fighting continued below the city. Seeing the rebels coming out of the city to fight, Li Xiujing quickly waved his flag and changed his formation. As soon as the rebels rushed into the formation, their formation instantly changed and engulfed the small group of cavalry rushing into the formation.

Cavalry has the advantage of speed. But after all, it's not about swooping down a high slope, it's just about maxing out the speed. As soon as he fell into the position, Mo Dao, the archer of Shence, looked at the horse's legs mercilessly.

The cavalry who lost their horses could only fight hand to hand. The infantryman raised his spear and pierced the rebel's body.

Arrows continued to fly inside and outside the city wall, and the sound of the winch rotating echoed on the battlefield. The Shence Army launched the crossbow under the command of Li Xiujing, and the four of them worked together to push the winch. Using the artillery cart as a cover, the seven arrows on the crossbow of the cart were fired in unison, and they rushed towards the city.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dugu Jun Mingjin ordered the bloody sergeants outside the city to retreat into the city.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the spies. Li Xiujing's garrison on the North Road is the weakest. According to the information we received, he hid the food there." A sergeant hurriedly ran up to the city and asked Dugujun Report.

Hearing this, Dugu Jun's face lit up with joy, "Hurry up and inform Yan Ling Yao, and ask him to lead his men to attack Zhou Yuanzhu and seize Shence's military supplies."
