Dianxia Qingcheng

Qi Changyi broke free from his wrist twice, but was only held tighter by someone. His cheeks became hot, and he protested softly, "But I didn't, I don't know anything."

Pei Zheng pressed his wrist to the top of his head and rubbed against his neck lightly, his heart itching unbearably.

There was a sudden noise from the corner, Qi Changyi remembered that there was someone else in the room, felt embarrassed, and twisted his body slightly.

"do not move."

Pei Zheng pressed his waist with one hand, took a breath, and slid his fingers along the clothes around his waist to slip them in.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Chengfeng called softly from outside, "Master."

"It's Ah Feng." Qi Changyi said.

Pei Zheng took his hand back, straightened the little man's clothes, then rolled over and got out of bed.

"Come in."

Chengfeng walked in, glanced at Li Wu who was still huddled in the corner, and then reported the situation to Pei Zheng.

Zhao Litang has been deploying surrounding troops to come to the frontier for support, and they should be in Anli City soon, so they only need to persist until Zhao Litang's army comes.

But the situation on the frontier is not optimistic.

The army of the Celestial Dynasty has suffered heavy losses, and most of the foreign tribes have been occupied by the barbarians. I believe that according to this momentum, they may soon attack Anli City.

I only hope that the support team can arrive as soon as possible.

For the next two days, Li Wu was locked in that room, and Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi never left the room. It was the servants of Li Wu's family who kept bringing them food.

And their downstairs has always been guarded by guards, and they never relax their vigilance against them.

During this period, the most comfortable life may only be Pei Zheng. He didn't pay attention to Li Wu at all, he only regarded him as air, and he could take advantage of a villain with bad behavior. There was no dissatisfaction at all. Feeling at ease.

Li Wu even felt that he should be the one who was blinded several times.

On the third day, Chengfeng noticed something was wrong with the guards outside, so he reported it to Pei Zheng.

It just so happened that Li Wu's servant came to deliver food to them again. After putting the food box on the table, he was about to leave. Before leaving, he gave Li Wu a look.

It's a pity that Pei Zheng saw all of this.

After the people left, Pei Zheng walked up to Li Wu, smiled, "Hand it over."

Li Wu's back was already breaking out in a cold sweat. The servant just stuffed him a ball of paper quietly, and he hadn't had time to open it yet.

"What, what? I don't understand what Mr. Pei is saying"

"Don't understand?" Pei Zheng took out a dagger and compared it to Li Wu's ear twice.

"Then it's useless to ask for this."

Li Wu hurriedly changed his words, "Don't, don't, don't! I understand! I understand Mr. Pei! It's in my hands"

Chengfeng stepped forward and took out the ball of paper, and read it directly.

It turned out to be those powerful people in the city. The note they left for Li Wu was to tell him not to worry, they would rescue him soon, and they had already thought of a perfect plan to solve Pei Zheng's trouble.

That is, set fire to the house.

Burn the entire house directly, so that even if someone traces it down, there will be no trace left, and the note they drew can also be destroyed.

After hearing this, Pei Zheng smiled instead of anger, and clapped his hands at Li Wu, "Master Li, did you hear that, your people are going to burn you to death now, what you, a parent official, are really pitiful for."

Li Wu retorted, "They made it clear that they will come to rescue me soon, and they are going to burn you to death, not me! I am their city lord, and they must obey me in everything!"

Pei Zheng suppressed his smile, "Help you? It's getting dark now, why is there still no movement? But the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time for arson. I just slipped this note in to take advantage of you to hold you back." I'll just buy them some time for themselves."

Li Wu shook his head emotionally, and kept saying that it was impossible. He and those people were grasshoppers on the same rope. How could those people disregard their own safety.

Pei Zheng didn't bother to say anything more to him, because Chengfeng had already noticed that the guards outside were quietly pouring oil on the building.

Chengfeng was optimistic about the escape route, and after he turned over the window sill, Pei Zheng also turned over nimbly, and then carried Qi Changyi out directly.

Li Wu still firmly believed that someone would come to save him, so Pei Zheng asked him to wait here to see what he could wait for.

The three climbed onto the roof from the window sill, and before jumping off the roof, they saw a torch flying in mid-air, and threw it directly from the window sill they had just turned over.

Then came torches one after another, instantly igniting the whole building. Taking advantage of the wind, the fire burned very quickly, and it was about to burn to the roof.

Pei Zheng hugged Qi Changyi and jumped off the roof. Qi Changyi looked at the house behind them that was burning with fire.

"I don't know if Mr. Li was rescued, someone must have rescued him."

How could there be.

What Pei Zheng said was right, the dignitaries in those cities had no intention of saving Li Wu, they could all see that Li Wu was in awe of Pei Zheng, so they felt that Li Wu was too courageous and would rather abandon him.

They felt that the walls of Anli City were impenetrable, and it was impossible for anyone to break in. Moreover, they had so many guards, they could have been lawless in the city.

The premise is that both Li Wu and Pei Zheng must die.

The thick smoke quickly filled the air, and the entire building was burned to ashes. The original structure could not be seen, only a large piece of black lacquered wood.

Some people stood in front of the building and laughed happily watching the fire. They thought that all the people in the building had been burned to ashes.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the remaining flames still illuminated the night sky above.

The flames seemed to appear indistinctly as a figure, slowly walking out from the junction of darkness and fire.

The person who came was dressed in black embroidered robes, tall and tall, with a stern aura, eyes as cold as ice, and a sword casually held in one hand.

Like a lifeless ghost.

The rich and powerful who were still laughing suddenly shut their mouths and stared at the people who were approaching step by step.

They all thought that their eyes were dazzled, otherwise how could they see the dead resurrected.

There was a flash of cold light, and someone fell to the ground in response, and the blood splashed on the face of the person next to him, and that person knew it was not vertigo.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

There was a scream, but it was too late.

The cold light flashed a few times, several bodies fell down, and the surrounding area became much cleaner.

There were still a few dignitaries left, and when they saw this, they covered their mouths tightly, not daring to speak out.

They didn't know how Pei Zheng survived the flames, but now he clearly looks like he's here for revenge.

"Who else has any objections to what I said earlier?"

Pei Zheng wiped the blood from the sword and asked softly.

Everyone present was quiet, no one dared to say anything.

None of the guards who had been standing outside had stepped forward just now.

Pei Zheng glanced over, and the guards threw their weapons on the ground.

"Since this is the case, then those present will donate half of their wealth to help refugees."

Pei Zheng glanced at the people on the ground, "Of course, including them."

"Is there a problem?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, "No, no, no problem! I'll donate right away!"

All the people present were scared out of their wits, afraid that if I agreed too late, I would be the next one to be ripped apart.

Originally it was the people's fat and people's ointment that was searched and squeezed, but now it is just returned.

Once Li Wu and his henchmen died, the sky in Anli City seemed to be clearer, and there were finally some people on the empty streets.

The residents of Anli City, who were originally confined and unwilling to go out, have now stepped out of their homes and started to take the initiative to help the refugees.

The city has also set up a lot of relief points, and with the financial support of the rich and powerful, the refugees are well arranged.

Pei Zheng was anxious to seek credit for Qi Changyi, and brought him to a rescue point on purpose, and the refugees kowtowed their thanks when they saw them.

Qi Changyi quickly went to help them up, but it was a pity that when one was lifted up, that one knelt down again, and when one was lifted up, this one knelt down again

In the end, it was Pei Zheng who pulled him into the nearby temple, and the refugees outside were willing to get up one after another.

There were also people living here in the temple, afraid that they would also salute, Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi covered their faces with their sleeves, and found a statue to hide behind as soon as they stepped in.

As a result, there was a sleeping baby behind the statue. The pink and tender little face was chubby and cute.

Seeing such a cute little milk baby, Qi Changyi's heart almost melted. She squatted beside him and looked at him carefully. She wanted to reach out and touch his little fleshy face, but she didn't dare to touch him easily.

"Baby baby," he muttered softly unconsciously.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and Pei Zheng pulled Qi Changyi up and turned around, covering his body with his back.

It was the baby's mother who came and took him away.

After the people left, there were only two people left behind the statue.

Qi Changyi looked at the empty space with disappointment on his face.

Pei Zheng pinched his soft little face, "Like baby?"

Obviously he is still like a baby.

"I like it" Qi Changyi lowered his head, "but but but"

Pei Zheng knew what he was thinking and raised his chin.

"No, but I will give you whatever you like, you know? So don't be sad, the baby will have it, and it will."

The corners of Qi Changyi's eyes were moist, and he sniffed, "Really? Didn't you lie to me?"

Pei Zheng pointed to the outside, "Look, I have fulfilled all my promises to you, tell me, will I lie to you?"

Qi Changyi pouted and turned his head away, "I don't know if you can deceive people, anyway, you have deceived me before."

Pei Zheng couldn't tell.

After the two left the temple, they saw a lot of people gathered at the gate of the city from a distance.

A soldier who had just entered the city was seriously injured and said that he had rushed over from the front to deliver a message.

What he said was intermittent, and together, the front line could no longer hold up, and everyone in Anli City had to retreat to the rear as soon as possible.
