After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Ma Xigui didn't dare to look at those tearful eyes. He tilted his head to look at the bluestone road on the east side and said in a hoarse voice, "I really don't know. Wait for me to send someone to ask. Sister-in-law, go in and wait for half an hour."

Half an hour later, it was the third quarter of the morning.

Let alone half an hour, Lin Yanyu was unwilling to wait even a minute longer.

"If you don't want to tell me, I'll go find it myself!"

She was really panicked, especially after having such a bad dream. She always felt that it was a warning from God.

Lin Yanyu held up her skirt and was about to run towards the road, but was stopped by Ma Xigui with a knife.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, you can't go anywhere now. Please wait patiently for half an hour."

His brows were stern, his hand holding the knife was steady, and his attitude was obviously resolute.

"it is good."

Lin Yanyu nodded with tears in her eyes, "You forced me to do this."

With a "click", she grasped the scabbard and pulled the long sword halfway out, holding the sword tightly against her neck.

"Sister-in-law!"

Ma Xigui screamed in shock. He did not dare to move, for fear that the sharp blade would scratch the girl's slender white neck.

"Where is your elder brother?!" Lin Yanyu's hand holding the blade left red marks, and her eyes were full of determination.

"Sister-in-law...don't embarrass me."

"Your eldest brother is an orphan. He has never been protected by his parents for a day. He has been bullied by beggars and wild dogs since he was a child. If...if..."

"Do you have the heart to let him go on the road alone?" Lin Yanyu smiled sadly, "You have the heart to do so, but I can't. If he dies, I will take the children with me to accompany him."

She exerted force with her hands, and a line of blood slowly slid down her white neck.

"South Gate!" Ma Xigui gritted his teeth and shouted, "The rebels are attacking the city, and big brother is guarding the South Gate!"

"Thank you."

Lin Yanyu released the force and let go of the blade in her hand, holding up Yang Fei's colored gauze skirt, and ran towards the blue brick road.

I had only taken two steps when I heard Ma Xigui say, "Wait a minute!"

She stopped in caution.

Ma Xigui: "The South City Gate is far from here. I will drive the carriage to escort my sister-in-law there."

……

*

The sky brightened, the broken city gate opened wide, and the area outside the gate was empty, with only corpses lying on the ground.

On the city walls, in front of the city gates, and on the bluestone roads, soldiers in armor were moving around. Some were cleaning up corpses, some were carrying wounded soldiers who were unable to fight, and some were repairing defenses.

Several military doctors, along with their young apprentices, bandaged and applied medicine to the crying wounded soldiers in the makeshift tents on both sides.

Li Yanqi was sitting on the ground, leaning on a long sword covered with blood, breathing heavily and looking towards the direction of the Chengcheng Gate.

"Sir." A soft female voice came.

He looked up.

The woman was forced by the cold gaze and took two steps back. Then her face turned red and she said hesitantly: "Sir, you are injured and need to be bandaged."

Seeing the man frowning impatiently, she quickly explained: "My father is Doctor Wang, he taught me to come here to help you treat your wound."

Li Yanqi turned his head to glance at the bloody arm, then turned his gaze back to the blue brick road outside the city gate and said indifferently: "No need, go and let others deal with it."

"...Yes, sir." The woman pinched the fine cloth, pursed her lips and retreated sadly.

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the city gate. Li Yanqi's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly.

A group of people appeared in front of everyone, all of them wearing black armor and holding iron swords, and each of them showed a pair of eyes full of murderous intent.

Except for the two leaders.

When they were close, the two men dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said in unison:

"Sir! Fortunately Hu Ruiqi lived up to his command!"

"Sir! Hu Ruilin has fulfilled his mission!"

Li Yanqi rarely showed a cheerful smile, stretched out his hands to help the two of them up, and said: "Well done, you two brothers will be credited with the first merit."

The two of them stood up following his strength.

Hu Ruilin wiped the blood off his face and said with a smile: "I dare not, thanks to your advice."

Li Yanqi slowly exhaled the breath that was suppressed in his chest.

Strategy is one thing, but it would be difficult to accomplish without the batch of fine armor given by the dead old man.

He had long anticipated that it would be difficult to win by brute force, so on the first day after returning from Qingzhou, he transferred 3,000 armored troops from Yunlong Town and stationed them in the southwest and southeast, twenty miles away.

If he killed Maozhou's 20,000 vanguard troops, Liu Ping would surely be furious and rush to attack the city without stopping.

He calculated the time accurately and waited for them to arrive, then led the patrol battalion full of hatred to fight a bloody battle in the front. The brothers Hu Ruiqi and Hu Ruilin led two teams of elite soldiers to attack the commander from both sides.

Others might not know the Hu brothers, but how could Liu Ping and Han Guang not know them?

After all, this is the big problem they have been looking for.

In the dim night, the enemy, who was filled with hatred for his father's murder and wished to eat his flesh and blood, led countless black-armored guards, murderously wanting to take their lives.

They are attacked from all sides, and they are all people who don't care about their lives. We don't know how many such people there are.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

He was just worried that something might go wrong between the two of them, their plan would be exposed, and they would be counterattacked by the other side, and then there would be really no way to save the situation.

fortunately……

Hu Ruiqi laughed foolishly for a long time, but he couldn't help himself. He leaned closer to Li Yanqi and asked secretly, "First merit? What is the master going to reward us brothers?"

Li Yanqi raised his eyebrows in amusement, "I hope you will be satisfied."

"Hehe, then I'll make it clear to the adults that we brothers won't want anything that's too cheap."

Hu Ruiqi raised his head and puffed out his chest proudly, "After all, it's the two of us brothers who scared those bastards away."

"You're overthinking it. They will definitely attack back at noon or night." Li Yanqi poured a basin of cold water on him.

Liu Ping and Han Guang were confused at night and fled in panic. After running dozens of miles away, there was no one pursuing them. They must have realized what was going on.

However, they were marching at night and were exhausted. Even if they knew he was cheating, they would have to rest for half a day before coming back.

Hu Ruiqi's face changed immediately and he was about to say something.

Li Yanqi waved his hands and said with a smile, "You have completed your mission very well. Go and have a rest first. You don't have to worry about what happens next. I have my own way."

Hu Ruiqi looked at his bloodshot eyes, and his heart calmed down again. He bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

He raised his footsteps and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked in one direction.

Li Yanqi noticed that his gaze was strange and couldn't help but look over there with a frown.

His eyes suddenly widened, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he froze in place.

A girl in Yang Fei-colored gauze skirt was standing three meters away from him.

Li Yanqi cleared his throat, forced out a flattering smile, and said, "I..."

Suddenly, he couldn't continue speaking. He saw a string of tears falling from the round eyes he loved and hitting the ground.

"Ahem, I suddenly need to go to the bathroom. Come with me, brother."

Hu Ruilin tried his best to pull his brother who was staring at him with a pair of big eyes. His brother was just a dull guy. He couldn't watch anyone's fun, right?

If they dare to watch Li Yanqi's fun today, he will teach them what a sinister human heart is tomorrow.

But Hu Ruiqi was still surprised, "Why are you pulling me? Oh my god, did you see that..."

"I didn't see it! Brother, I can't hold it anymore, let's go."
