Qi Ming was almost in despair of the current situation. The location of the West Gate was originally far away from the Keluo Road, so there were few enemy troops attacking here.

But now, even Che Lan has arrived. How can they resist this insurmountable army with just the number of people they have?

"We can't win. We definitely can't win. Not to mention we haven't found the mastermind behind the poison yet. We are attacked from all sides. How can we break the deadlock?"

The soldiers' expressions became obviously hesitant and fearful. Yun Nian even saw a hint of retreat in them. For an army, such emotions were absolutely not allowed.

"He's just a man. Even if he can eat people, many people have died at my hands. Wait, I'll go meet him!"

After saying this, Zuo Mingyuan wanted to jump down with his knife. Yun Nian was about to stop him, but Fuqiu spoke first.

"Sure, that's one less competitor. I'll burn incense for you on the seventh day after your death. If you want to die, go ahead."

She crossed her arms and looked disdainful, which anyone who saw her would only think was a provocation.

"He is surrounded by not only his personal guards, but also those half-human mummies and beasts crawling on the ground ready to attack at any time. Don't think you have much power alone."

After looking him up and down, she suddenly laughed out loud.

"You don't think you can do something that even Zuo Kangping can't do, do you?"

The blade shook and hit the city wall with a slight sound. Zuo Mingyuan held the handle tightly, but he had to admit that she was right.

But why didn't his father tell him about this? If his father couldn't solve it, how could he be so arrogant?

Just as they were silent, the roars below became more obvious. The sounds even stirred up the yellow sand all over the sky, making people shudder.

This won't work. Although Yun Nian doesn't understand the art of war, Huo Daiyu likes to tell her and Shen Ningsi about things on the battlefield when he's bored.

The most important thing is that the soldiers must not be allowed to be filled with fear, otherwise they will do anything when they are extremely scared.

She even heard of soldiers who were so frightened that they turned around and killed their companions, and then committed suicide.

This must not be allowed to happen, she thought.

"Qi Ming, these soldiers are now in your hands. You should know how much promotion you can get if you win this war. I will also do as my father suggested and let you return to the court."

Her gaze was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate Qi Ming's heart. He looked at the woman who could be described as "weak" in front of him, took a deep breath, and then smiled.

"Don't worry, Miss Yun. I know what I should do now. What's more, if something happens to you, I don't have to think about going back. I can just die to apologize."

Hearing this, Fuqiu suddenly frowned. She looked at Yun Nian in surprise, and then shook her head repeatedly as if she had thought of something.

"What do you want to do? You don't want to continue playing with your piano? Are you crazy? Do you want to die?"

She grabbed Yun Nian's hand and looked at Lang Ya, only to find that he had already brought the "Heart Jade" zither with him.

"Chelan is not that stupid guy Turancha. As soon as he hears the music, he will know what happened. He will definitely use all his troops to kill you first! Do you know that?"

Her eyes were full of resistance and pain, but Yun Nian just shook her head and smiled gently.

"Don't worry, I'm just trying. I don't think I can make them retreat just by the sound of the piano. I'm not that arrogant."

She signaled Langya to put down the zither, and then Zuo Mingyuan moved a tall object similar to a drum and placed it in the middle, just enough for Yun Nian to sit on it.

"But I won't back off, Fuqiu. You're the same, right? Besides, I haven't lived enough. I'll be fine."

In fact, this was a lie. How could he not be afraid? When Yun Nian saw Che Lan, he felt an indescribable fear in his heart, as if someone was grabbing the back of his neck, and his hair stood on end.

But she knew that fear was the most useless emotion. She could be afraid, but she couldn't let fear completely control her.

"It's just a try. Since Che Lan has come here, perhaps General Zuo will follow. We just need to hold on for a while and we will be able to wait for reinforcements."

She looked at Fuqiu, but her shoulders seemed to collapse all of a sudden, and she sighed helplessly.

"Sure enough, Alfalfa was right to stop us. He must have known that you would be so stubborn when faced with such a situation. But since I have already promised him to bring you back safely, then I will do it myself."

After saying that, she folded her arms and turned her head away, never looking at Yun Nian again.

How could there be such a wonderful experience? Yun Nian thought, she was just a weak woman. Although she envied Huo Daiyu's skills, she had never thought that she would step onto the battlefield.

"Now I can show off to Dai Yu when I get home. She must have never faced such a scene before."

After that, she slowly exhaled. Qi Ming, who was standing by, used both kindness and force to calm the agitated soldiers. They stood in a neat row, drew their bows, and aimed at the enemy below.

"Zheng~"

The soft and clear sound of the piano rang out, rippling gently in people's hearts like a clear spring.

Langya stared at the enemy with vigilant eyes, his big hands hanging by his side, ready to block danger at any time.

Zuo Mingyuan and the rest of the soldiers stood in front of the gate, waiting for it to open. As long as they killed their way through, everything would be solved, even if there was no life or death.

The deafening sound of fighting rang out all around, the sound of swords clashing, cries of pain, and triumphant laughter, surrounding Yun Nian's ears, like the sound of a beginner playing the piano.

But she was not affected at all, instead she smiled at the people below.

Her fingers gradually moved faster and faster. She could feel a subtle feeling pulling her, as if it was guiding her on how to respond.

The sound of the piano rang out on the battlefield, and Che Lan naturally heard it. He looked at the mummy whose movements had become a little slower, and his face suddenly darkened.

His eagle-like eyes immediately spotted the figure on the high wall, with fluttering clothes.

"I didn't expect that there would be an accident. But, is it okay to just kill him?"

He whistled, and the beast lying on the ground straightened up.
