He Xuan's eyelids twitched, and he got up in a hurry. Before leaving, seeing Taoyuan's worried expression, he handed him the jade pendant on his body, so that he could wait for his return with peace of mind.

This jade pendant was He Xuan's amulet. He had a serious illness when he was a child, so his parents went to the master to ask for this jade pendant, so as to bless him for life.

After He Xuan left the big tent, Taoyuan clenched the jade pendant tightly, and an inexplicable panic suddenly rose in her heart.

At this time, the city tower was in a mess, and the guarding soldiers were out of formation, and there were even screams of crying and shouting.He Xuan climbed up in a hurry and found that there were many poisonous reptiles in the tower at some point. A group of bats hovered in mid-air, occasionally rushing down to disturb the soldiers' minds.

Controlling his violent emotions, He Xuan drew out his sword and cut a poisonous snake in two, and rescued a soldier who was bitten by a poisonous scorpion.

After Ge Zhan cleaned up the poison under his feet, he took the time to report to Ge Xuan: "General, these poisonous insects came up from nowhere, and they bite people when they see them."

He Xuan scanned the surroundings carefully, and vaguely heard a flute sound coming from outside the city. He thought something was wrong, and immediately asked him to invite Daoist Fu over.

Daoist Fu was quickly invited to go up to the tower. After seeing the tragic situation upstairs, he immediately took out a Dharma bell and rang the bell while reciting a mantra. After a while, the poison was dispersed.

He Xuan looked at the pitch black outside the city, his eyes flickered with deep thought, he turned around and gave Ge Zhan an order to execute immediately.

Not far outside the city, a group of soldiers ready to go looked at the city gate not far away, as if they were waiting for an opportunity. The leader was Beidi's general Shanrong, and beside him was the leader of the Nanwu. Followed by an elderly wizard, playing a jade flute at this time.

The screams on the tower became more and more fierce, and even the signal fire had been extinguished. It seemed that the defensive formation was in chaos. Dan Rong and the leader of Nanwu looked at each other and waved their hands when they saw that the time was ripe.

"Pass down the order and attack the city!"

In an instant, the torches were lit, the drums were beating thunderously, and Shan Rong, holding a big knife in his hand, took the lead in attacking the city gate.

Unexpectedly, just as they were approaching the gate of the city, countless cold arrows suddenly shot out from the city tower. At the same time, rolling stones burning with kerosene were also thrown, hitting the chariot they used to attack the city, and instantly set off a prairie fire. the fire.

But after a while, the siege formation was disrupted, and the charging soldiers were hit by arrows one by one, turned on their backs, raised their knives to block the cold arrows rushing towards the front door, and shouted loudly: "Not good! There is a fraud!"

On the city tower, He Xuan held a shocking bow, his eyes condensed into a cold light, carefully scanned the situation below the city, and soon found his eyes.

His strong arm was charged and pulled back. After pulling to a certain extent, he suddenly let go, and the arrow flew out of the string, quickly drawing an arc in mid-air, approaching Dan Rong's face.

After all, Shanrong was Beidi's general, and his reaction was very quick, and he raised his knife to block it.But he didn't expect that the first arrow followed and hit the leg of his mount.

The war horse gave a long bark, and went mad thinking it was in pain. The drapey was thrown to the ground, and he rolled around to stabilize his figure, only to be hit in the chest by an arrow shot from the tower.

So far, the attacking side has been defeated, and the leader of Nanwu immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops when he saw that the situation was not right.

On the other side, Taoyuan, who had stayed in the barracks for a long time, hadn't waited for He Xuan's return, and didn't know the situation on the tower. After struggling for a long time, she still planned to go outside to inquire about the situation.

Most of the soldiers were sent to guard the tower, and the barracks was empty except for some guards on duty.Tao Yuan escaped the sight of the guards and quietly left the general's camp.

Under the cover of the night, Taoyuan left the camp alone and walked towards the tower, but unexpectedly bumped into a person at the next turning.

Tao Yuan took a few steps back, reached out and rubbed her sore forehead, looked up, and saw Jiang Yan's handsome face under the faint moonlight.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Yan was dressed in black, and she looked a little different from usual, as if she had lost her humble skin and became elusive.

Taoyuan shook her head and looked at him strangely, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yan's eyes flickered: "I heard that the enemy army is coming, so I want to come out and do my part."

There was still a faint sound of fighting from the city gate, Taoyuan's thoughts were all involved, and worry was hidden in his eyes: "The enemy is still attacking the city, what is the situation?"

Just as he was speaking, a red light flashed in the sky outside the city, which was a signal for the enemy to withdraw. Taoyuan was overjoyed to see this, and subconsciously exclaimed: "We are holding it!"

Jiang Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze fell on Taoyuan's joyful face, with a complicated expression flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Taoyuan might be excited, but she didn't notice Jiang Yan's unusual behavior, so she turned around and was about to go out.

The footsteps of the guards on duty came from the front, like a signal for death. Jiang Yan stared at Taoyuan's back, hesitated for a few seconds, and rushed forward unexpectedly, hitting the back of his neck with a knife.

The back of Taoyuan's neck went numb, and before she could react, she lost consciousness.

Jiang Yan dragged him to a side corner, looking at the row of guards passing by, his eyes gradually became darker.

At this time, an offensive and defensive battle had come to an end, and the invading enemy troops fled. Under He Xuan's cunning strategy, the Gan army won a complete victory, and their morale increased greatly in a short period of time.

This time, thanks to Daoist Fu's help again, He Xuan respected him a little more, and led all the soldiers to salute him.

"It's just a little effort." Daoist Fu didn't dare to take the credit and be proud, but had a deeper guess: "The wizards of Nanwu are still capable, and they may not be so easy to give up."

He Xuan nodded in approval and said: "The reinforcements have not arrived for a day, we must not take it lightly."

This battle was won, but both sides lost soldiers, and the ground outside the city gate was covered with blood, and it was a mess.In order to prevent the common people from seeing this shocking situation, He Xuan led his people to clean up the battlefield overnight, and returned to the barracks the next morning.

With bloody smell all over his body, he was worried that he would scare Taoyuan, so before he entered his back, he specially washed it outside, and then walked into his big tent clean and refreshed.

Just when he was about to open his arms to welcome his beloved, he saw that the room was empty and there was no one.He Xuan was a little strange, walked over and lifted the bed, and found that the bed was empty, and the place where his hands touched was cold, without any residual warmth.

He Xuanyuan thought that Taoyuan was just going away temporarily, but after walking around the barracks, he still didn't see his figure, so he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly called the guards to question him.

The guards looked at each other and knelt down to accept the punishment. Because the situation was critical last night, many guards were temporarily called out to guard the city gate. As a result, the barracks was relatively lax, and no one noticed Taoyuan's whereabouts.

He Xuan had an ominous premonition, strands of worry wrapped around his heart like spider webs, causing his heart to shrink with extreme fear.

Ge Zhan looked at He Xuankuai's frightening expression, and before he could respond, he rushed over and ordered, "Go find it! Every corner of the city must not be spared, and the young master must be found."

At the same time, a carriage transporting swill has already left the city and is driving towards the western suburbs. The driver is wearing a black hat with a pair of cold eyes hidden under it. Looking forward, he swung the rein vigorously.

I don't know how long he has been in a coma. When Taoyuan woke up again, he felt a pain in the back of his neck. When he opened his eyes in confusion, what he saw was a strange environment.

"you're awake?"

A cold voice came from outside, Taoyuan woke up suddenly, looked back, saw Jiang Yan walking in, and remembered what happened last night.

At some point, Jiang Yan changed into Nan Wu's costume, which gave people a very strange feeling, like a long-hidden fox showing a cunning face at the right time.

"You...you are from Nanwu?" Taoyuan suppressed her shock, and leaned back vigilantly, her voice trembling with nervousness: "What's your purpose in sneaking into Dagan?"

Jiang Yan looked over in a blink of an eye, and said with a sneer, "I am the little prince of Nanwu, what do you think I have purpose?"

Tao Yuan's eyes widened: "But you should be a dry person, your father is the current Taiwei."

Jiang Yan seemed to have been touched by Ni Lin, and a dark gloomy fire appeared in his eyes: "He deserves it too! A heartless man who abandoned my mother is now just a pawn in my hand."

Perhaps frightened by Jiang Yan's distorted face, Taoyuan was stunned for a long time, with tears in his eyes: "You...why are you doing this?"

Compared with being unwilling to be plotted against, what made him feel even more heartbroken was the wrong payment of trust.

Jiang Yan staggered his eyes, and said indifferently: "The only thing to blame is that you are He Xuan's beloved."

At this time, there was a sound of notification from outside, and the leader of the Nanwu came in with soldiers, glanced at Taoyuan who was tied up, patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder in relief and said, "You have done a good job."

As he spoke, he met Shang Taoyuan's frightened eyes in a blink of an eye, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the border town, He Xuan ordered people to search the whole city, but they didn't find Taoyuan's figure. This person seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving no trace.Just when he was anxious and suffering, someone found the groom who had been knocked out. After asking about the specific situation, a terrible guess came to his mind, which almost made him unable to stand still.

He did not expect that two days later, this terrible guess would become true.

"General, it's not good!"

Ge Zhan broke into the general's tent with a pale face, and knelt down on one knee: "The enemy army is coming so fiercely this time, they are less than one mile away from the city."

He Xuan desperately searched for Taoyuan, and even sent several waves of spies to the enemy camp to inquire, but still found nothing.Now that the enemy is in front of him, the lives of the people in the city are in his hands, and he can't stand the pain, so he takes the green blood halberd and walks out.

"Prepare for battle!"

"But……"

Ge Zhan looked at him with a complex expression, hesitated for a while, and then said with difficulty: "They... suppressed the young master."

He Xuan stopped, his heart skipping a beat. He has fought on the battlefield for many years and walked through the gates of ghosts countless times, but he has never experienced the panic at this moment.

On the city tower, the black military flag fluttered high, and the big red characters stained the eyes of the soldiers like fresh blood. They drew their swords and crossed their crossbows instantly, holding their breath and staring at the front, as if waiting for a bloody storm to come.

The scorching sun was like fire, smearing half of the sky, a gust of plastic wind blew up on the pale yellow field, rolled up the yellow sand all over the sky, and a mighty army gradually appeared, following the backlight into everyone's eyes.

Rows of guns on the city wall were erected in an instant, and took a defensive posture. He Xuan stared at a certain point, his voice seemed to be filled with gravel, and his voice was unbearably hoarse: "Don't move."

Under the threat of Qianjun's gunmen, the enemy army stopped three feet away from the city gate. The leader of the Nansha Wu raised his eyes to meet He Xuan's gaze, showing a hypocritical smile, waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him Just pressed a person to the front of the formation.

The dignified and dignified Young Master of Jing'an has now become a prisoner of the enemy army. He no longer looks as high-spirited as before, his mouth is stuffed with cloth strips, his clothes are in dilapidated condition, and his red eyes are full of tears. .

When He Xuan looked at him from a distance, countless arrows had been shot in his chest. These arrows pierced into his flesh and blood, and kept pulling out with Tao Yuan's movements, making his whole body numb with pain.

Under the signal of the leader of the Nanwu, an envoy walked to the gate of the city alone, and loudly asked He Xuan for an exchange.

"General He, as long as you open the city gate! Our leader can spare his life!"

In an instant, the soldiers on the city wall were in an uproar, with murderous aura seeping from their eyes, wishing to drink the blood of these invaders.

Looking at He Xuan's trembling lips, Ge Zhan couldn't help yelling: "You guys are extremely despicable!"

The envoy responded with an eye for an eye: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, I hope General He will make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise your lover will become the soul of the sword."

Taoyuan, who was pressed in front of the battle, heard this request and struggled desperately. He began to regret, regretted sneaking out of the capital, regretted trusting others, and sent He Xuan's weakness into the hands of the enemy.

A few soldiers held him down tightly, Taoyuan could only cry silently, and after a long time, he spat out the strip of cloth in his mouth and shouted hysterically.

"Can't open..."

"leave me alone!"

Jiang Yan, who was following the leader of the Nanwu, looked at this scene with a complex look in his eyes.

"General, Young Master is right..."

Ge Zhan couldn't bear to look at the Taoyuan in front of the formation, and his eyes were also reddened. After struggling for a while, he said with difficulty: "There are 30 people in the city, this gate must not be opened."

That's the general's heart and soul, but now you want to force him to goug it out, how cruel.

"General He, make a decision quickly!"

The enemy's broadsword had already reached Taoyuan's neck. He Xuan's face was bulging with blue veins, and he clenched his fist tightly. He stared at Taoyuan for a moment, the love in his heart grew like a vine, locked It took him all his life's delusion, and exhausted everything to be able to utter those two words: "Taotao..."

Taoyuan's chest was heaving with fear, and tears kept pouring out. From the shattered thoughts, she managed to piece together a trace of reason that could hold her own. Her throat was trembling, and she couldn't cry.

"He Xuan... the young master is going to break his promise..."

After finishing speaking, he gave He Xuan a last look with nostalgia, and suddenly broke free from the soldiers' shackles, and hit the sharp blade with all his strength.

With a pop, blood splashed everywhere, and the flowers fell silently.

In an instant, He Xuan's heart also died. In his eyes, there was no family, country, mountains and rivers, no fireworks in the world, only his beloved, wearing a blood-stained red wedding dress, running towards him.
