Chapter 159 The Rebels Are Coming
The night wind gradually weakened, blowing a few thin branches outside the eaves with a slight chill, and knocking on the window edge.

There were six torches lit in the house, and the windows were open, blowing the torches out several times.

There is a boat in the middle of the big house, which is not yet fully finished. The small figure of the girl is checking the surroundings up and down, especially the key points of connection, and will check with extra care.

After more than half an hour, she extinguished the fire of the torch, opened the wooden door and walked out.

The progress of the boat was much faster than she thought, and within three days, she would be able to leave.

Looking up at the night, a few stars have appeared faintly, and the heavy rain has finally passed.

Bathed in the clear evening breeze like this, she was in a good mood, but when she thought of Zhao Xi whom she had seen during the day, the smile on her lips faded a little.

Compared with what he remembered, Zhao Xi had lost a lot of weight. He was originally a man with a rough life. In such a predicament, he seemed to be more and more lazy to clean himself up. His hair was messed up by the wind, and his mouth was surrounded by stubble.

She and Zhao Xi had a lot of intersections in their previous lives.

Xia Zhaode joined the army in his early years, and got out of the same barracks as Zhao Zhen.

Although she was young at that time, she was famous because she was the only daughter of Dingguo's mansion and studied under a famous family. Zhao Yu also had a lot of curiosity and love for her, and because of Xia Zhaode's relationship, she also considered herself It's her elder brother, and he has to send her something from time to time. Zhao Xi almost watched her grow up.

Later, when Zhao Zi's eldest daughter was born, and it coincided with the Lantern Festival, when Xia Zhaoyi returned to Beijing, Zhao Zi came to the house with the baby girl in his arms, and insisted that Xia Zhaoyi reward her with a lucky bag and a nickname.

So in calculation, she is still the daughter of Zhao Zhen's Anfu.

The encounter with Zhao Xi this time was purely accidental, but as she returned to the capital, she might meet more acquaintances along the way.

The heartbeat in the chest suddenly accelerated, Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand to caress his chest, he didn't like this feeling very much.

It is more timid to be close to the hometown, especially to return to others who don't know what happened at home. This kind of timidity will only increase.

The night here is quiet, but in the distance outside Peifeng West City, there are countless torches shining brightly. In the lights, thousands of troops gather in the big water, gazing at the century-old city in the distance.

He has always been passive, waiting for the opponent to send troops to attack, but today he finally came across the mountains and rivers, and Lin Yao's heart was full of enthusiasm and anticipation.

If he can win this city, then he will have a solid territory. Although Peifeng's granary should be empty now, this land is indeed a good land.

The lights on the city wall were also brightly lit, and more and more people climbed up the city wall to look at them. Among so many figures, Lin Yao could tell where that Zhao Zhen was at a glance.

Zhao Xi could also see him, and looked at him from a distance, his face was tense, the weapon in his hand was cold, eager to bloodthirsty, and vowed to chop off the head of the rebel leader.

"General!" Fang Guanxian came galloping on horseback, and shouted to the front and back of Zhao Yu, "Everything is in order! Wait for the general's order!"

Lin Yao nodded, then pulled out the long knife in his hand, pointed it at Zhao Yuan, and said loudly, "Brothers, have you seen the person standing on the city wall over there?"

Thousands of eyes all looked at Zhao Yuan.

Lin Yao rode out on horseback, turned around and shouted: "Before, it was this Zhao Zhen who kept beating us! He refused to let us go, he knew why we got together, and he always wanted to kill us, there was no one in the slightest. Sympathy and pity! Brothers, what are we thinking of rebelling against!"

"To eat! To survive!!" Ma Wenze took the lead and shouted loudly.

Everyone followed suit and yelled loudly: "For eating!! For living!!!"

When the voice came from the front, every soldier was mobilized, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the sound resounded through the sky.

Across the distant space, the people on the city wall could hear these voices clearly. Zhao Yu frowned, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"Yes!" Lin Yao shouted, "We just want to survive! We don't want to be trampled on in this troubled world! Our home is gone, our crops are gone, our family is gone! All that's left is We are killed by ourselves! But these people don’t give us food, and they don’t allow us to find food by ourselves! We are dying of hunger, we have eaten tree roots, eaten turf, and these high-ranking people eat fish and meat every day! They just hope We will be slaves forever, brothers, can you bear this tone! Why are we born to be ruined! Why!"

"Why!!" Everyone shouted in unison, Qunqing was furious.

"We will take down this city today!" Lin Yao turned his head, looked at the strong and towering city wall in front of him, and shouted angrily, "After we take down the city, we will hang their heads up! Let them watch how we occupied this city!" In the city, we have to fight all the way to the north, we want to chop off the head of the dog emperor, we are going to turn his mother back!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!!"

He Chuanjiang looked at Zhao Yu: "General."

Zhao Xi drew out the weapon in his hand, turned around and walked to the city wall, and looked at the densely packed army inside the wall. At the end of his line of sight, the black iron armor reflected light in the darkness.

"Did you hear their voices?" Zhao Xuan called out.

"I heard it!" Many people responded loudly.

"In this battle, if we don't win, we will die! We are not only living for ourselves, we also have the people in this city to defend! We also have the world to defend! Once we lose, we will die, and the people in the city will die. After leaving us, we will go all the way north. All the villages and big cities along the way will be destroyed, and your family members will die! Why do we join the army? In addition to having a meal, we also have the blood and ambition of men who want to protect the rivers and mountains! Jiang Shilang’s luggage We are already on the way here, if we die in battle today, our food and our meat will all be robbed by these rebels! Are they going to be robbed!"

"No!"

"give or not!"

"No!!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xuan yelled angrily, "Open the city gate!! Let's kill it!!!"

Shen Lie rode behind a soldier, heard a distant sound, reined in his horse slightly, and looked up: "Those rebels are calling?"

"Yes," the soldier turned back, "the general should be in the west city now."

Feng Ze and Du Xuan who followed behind frowned, looked at each other, and then looked at Shen Lie: "Master..."

If this is the case, they should never stay here. Regardless of who wins in the end, it is Guo Shu's strict request to them to take Shen Lie away from the front line.

Shen Lie nodded slightly, and said, "Then go directly to West City."

"Okay!" The soldier replied.

"Master!" Feng Ze and Du Xuan said in surprise at the same time.

"I have the final say outside." Shen Lie said, following the soldiers.
