Chapter 279 Chapter 278 Confrontation on the Tower
An Xin did not stop Gu Fei from being arrogant when he shouted, nor did he stop him from being kicked off his horse and then trampled by the horse.

If a person commits suicide, why should others stop him?

Originally, Gu Fei was just a dispensable hostage used to threaten Ma Boten.

Even if Maboteng didn't care about his doting brother, An Xin never thought about killing him.

But Gu Fei insisted on being smart and shouted out what he just said.

Not to mention that Ma Boteng didn't care much about Gu Fei, a cheap brother-in-law, but now he was threatening his own father. For the sake of his own career and life, he would not let people like An Xin enter the city.

Sure enough, after hearing Gu Fei's shout just now, Ma Boteng, who was originally hesitant to open the city gate to let An Xin and the others in, just watched coldly as Gu Fei was trampled by a horse and was seriously injured under the city.

Then he ordered loudly: "Shoot the arrow."

"The central guard is not allowed," Chen Zhiyang, the partial general, led a few close followers and hurried to the tower to stop him: "The people below are the imperial ministers, as well as several hundred soldiers led by General Yuchi and Gao Xiao."

"Nonsense," Ma Boteng began to call a deer a horse. "The troops under the city are clearly sent by Beiming to provoke me, Jibei."

In order to prevent Yu Chiyi and others from being let in, Ma Boten had already replaced all the people on the tower with his own people.

After all, Ma Boteng is the leader here, and it is difficult for Chen Zhiyang to stop him for a while.

Seeing the soldiers on the city tower loading their bows and arrows, aiming at An Xin and the others below, Chen Zhiyang said anxiously: "Lieutenant General Ma, aren't you afraid that the imperial court will find out and hold you accountable?"

Maboteng looked at him with contempt and smiled "haha".

In a disdainful tone: "Are you still waiting for General Chen to come to Northern Hebei from the capital to replace me?"

When Chen Zhiyang saw Ma Boteng's slightly arrogant expression and heard what he said, after being shocked, he realized that there might have been changes in the capital.

"Whether General Chen is here or not, An Jijiu and Young General Yuchi have done nothing wrong, so why can't they be allowed to enter the city?!"

"And they are nothing. Beiming came to harass and provoke our soldiers in northern Hebei."

"My general said yes, that's it." Maboteng ordered arrogantly, "Fire the arrow."

"Really?" A faint voice interrupted the two people arguing.

Maboteng turned around and saw a woman wearing a black cloak standing in front of him, with a smile on her lips and a long sword in her hand at his throat.

And standing behind her was the General Yuchi whom he had been afraid of for a long time, and his son Yuchiyi who had been sent to the border for training.

Staring in disbelief, his voice trembled slightly: "You... how did you get up here?"

An Xin raised the corners of his lips and said in a calm tone: "He just came up like that, how else could he come up."

The corners of Chen Zhiyang's eyes twitched, and the answer was "..." It was the same as not saying anything.

Ma Boteng said sternly: "I am a general guarding the border. If you dare to kill me, the emperor will not let you go."

"Oh, we are so scared!" Yu Chiyi said in a calm and gentle tone, making people angry.

"You, you are brave." Maboteng saw the cronies surrounding him and ordered: "Are you all dead? Kill them if you don't want me to."

Yu Chiyi held a long tassel gun in his hand and looked at the soldiers surrounding him with sharp eyes, "Humph, I don't know whether to live or die."

Chen Zhiyang led his men to block the soldiers who were holding knives and were about to chop them down, and shouted: "She is an official of the imperial court. Do you want to kill her?" The soldiers were stunned and looked at Ma Boteng with some hesitation. After all, he He is the guarding general here, someone they have followed for many years.

"She is a woman, how can she be an official of the imperial court? If you kill her, I will be rewarded heavily by this general."

Ma Boteng had already made up his mind to kill An Xin. When the court held him accountable, he would push the soldiers out to take the blame, saying that they did not know that An Xin was accidentally killed by a court official.

An Xin saw a flash of cunning in Ma Boteng's eyes, and thrust his sword forward. All plots and tricks would be crushed to pieces in the face of the powerful strength.

Ma Boteng's neck immediately oozed blood, and An Xin's voice was cold: "Whether these people can kill me, I don't know.

But I know that before they take action, you will definitely die under this red flame sword, so go to the underworld first. "

Seeing An Xin's smiling face without a hint of joking, Maboteng finally realized the reality that his life as a general meant nothing to the female priest in front of him.

Ma Boten instantly turned into a coward, "What do you want?"

"Open the city gate and let the people in." An Xin said simply and neatly without any nonsense.

Maboteng, who was hesitant, felt a stabbing pain in his neck. This time it was not as simple as a few drops of blood oozing out, but a stream of blood flowing down his neck.

Now Maboteng's legs were weak and he didn't dare to delay any longer. He shouted hurriedly: "Quick, quick, let the soldiers outside the city come in."

How can you not be afraid if your life depends on someone else's thoughts?Ma Boten, who had always cherished his life, was really frightened this time.

The people in the city, except Gao Tai who knew his teacher was great, and Zheng Xiaoling, a fan girl who blindly believed in An Xin,
When An Xin and Yu Chi Yi flew up the city wall, the others' jaws dropped and they just picked it up when they realized it.

Not far away, he saw the heavy city gate, with a "squeak" sound, being opened from the inside.

"Oh, we can finally enter the city." After nearly a month, they were abandoned outside the city. The soldiers who hid Tibet in the east could finally return.

"Young general, you are so powerful and domineering." The people in the city cheered.

Standing on the city wall, Yu Chiyi blushed a little. Others didn't notice it, but he knew that it was his teacher who asked him to come up.

If he had to rely on himself without a place to stand, let alone such a high city wall, he might not be able to fly up if it was only half the height.

Under the attention of all the soldiers at the border, An Xin walked in the northern Hebei military camp with square steps as if he did not recognize his relatives.

Yu Chiyi and Gao Tai followed her, followed closely by Zheng Xiaoling, Chai Hongzhuang and Chen Zhiyang.

When they found out that An Xin was the legendary Imperial Consecrated Wine Master in the capital, they even looked at him with suspicion, curiosity, and a little admiration.

The men at the border are not like those literati and poets in the capital who regard themselves as refined wastes. They look down on women. They value strength more.

Just because An Xin stood firm in the court as a woman and was not suppressed by the formal officials in the court, she deserves the admiration of warriors like them.

Ma Boten had a gloomy old face and led his own people to follow the team at the end. On a horse was Gu Fei, who was bloody and only breathing.

Originally, Ma Boten was worried about how to silence An Xin and Yu Chiyi, the key personnel who knew that he had been captured.

A scene that made him collapse even more occurred.
