It doesn't matter what the lord is.

somebody is coming.

The first to appear was a boy with a proud face, probably two or three years younger than I am now, only about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was not tall, had freckles on his face, and the corners of his mouth were wildly raised. His dress was also out of tune with the army. At first glance, he was a rich kid, the kind whose family had a mine. The silk and satin he wore probably cost dozens of gold coins.

I just took one look at him and found him a bit boring.

But the person next to him made me feel a little surprised for a moment.

But in terms of appearance, among the people around me, He Yue > Fileta > Alaya. But because I myself don't understand He Yue's gender, it's hard for me to really have any idea about him. But the appearance of this girl in front of me is probably only a little lower than He Yue. In my eyes, she is an angel on earth, a very beautiful girl.

Her long brown hair was spread out behind her, reaching her waist. It seemed a little dry due to lack of care. There were a few strands of bangs on her smooth forehead that had not been combed in time, and she looked like she had just woken up. Her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was looking in my direction, but I could not feel any sight from her.

She was wearing a cheap dress and sitting in a wheelchair, standing in the center of the military formation.

That face was a little childish, and she was about the same age as me, but she looked younger. However, she was not as cute as a baby with baby fat, she was thinner, with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, and her cheeks were pale. Her lips were not bright red, but a pink color, slightly open, revealing white pearly teeth. I couldn't feel a strong aura from her, but she had a sense of strength like pine and cypress.

She raised her head and saw small aqua blue earrings hanging on her ears. They didn't look expensive.

...hiss, wait.

A man dressed in ancient costume and sitting in a wheelchair was slowly pushed out in front of the two armies.

This scene seems a little familiar.

Isn’t this a classic scene from that TV series?

Deng Deng~

——"Is this Zhuge Kongming?"

——“That’s right.”

——"Well, sir, since you know the will of heaven and the current situation, why do you want to raise an unknown army and attack me..."

It's exactly the same, okay?

Should I say something appropriate to lighten the mood? Damn it!

Before I could say anything, the arrogant boy shouted towards the city:

"Hey! Your boss hasn't come back yet? That woman who only knows how to throw fireballs up there isn't here either? How boring. What a bunch of cowards!... What, what are you waiting for? Just surrender quickly. What's the point of defending an isolated city?"

He laughed and said:

"But my patience has reached its limit. Surrender or not is meaningless to me. You are all going to die anyway, men will die first, and women will die later. I say, you are too much of an eyesore. Why don't you just let me flatten you? Don't you agree, sister?"

The girl sitting in the wheelchair smiled gently, with a hint of doting in her smile.

The daughter of Zhaochen family and the youngest son of Zhaochen family...

I smiled.

Isn't it interesting?

5. Empty City Strategy

At least in my opinion, they are indeed a pair of siblings with a good relationship.

I also had a younger sister before, not in this life, but in the previous life. She was the cutest girl in the world, the kind that made people want to hold her in their arms. Unlike me, she had a low IQ, was clumsy, and often had a bad temper. But every time I looked at her, I couldn't help but show a doting look.

But what should we do now?

I estimated the distance and was sure I could assassinate these two now.

But the problem is that I don't want to do it.

There are probably two reasons. The first is that for me, living a leisurely life is always the first thing to consider. The current life basically meets my beautiful expectations. I think it’s good to have a city of my own and not have so many people disturbing my life. In this situation where the royal power cannot suppress the lord and a melee may break out at any time, the first bird to stick out will be shot, and the more shocking the performance is, the more likely it is that others will join forces to kill it.

Another thing is that I always believe that there are many things in this world that cannot be solved with fists.

Just like when I went to Yunhai, my hometown was repeatedly harassed. I am not a wandering warrior, I am a city lord. It is useless for me to be strong. I have to make the territory I manage strong.

I looked at the naughty kid who was jumping happily below, and forced myself to resist the urge to push his head to the ground.

Suddenly, the girl next to him pulled her brother's clothes and asked something in a low voice.

Fang Yuan once said that his thirteenth sister could not see and could not walk.

Is the way to obtain information through the descriptions of people around you?

I couldn't help but frown.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly, requiring the commander to have an accurate grasp of the entire situation. Is it possible to obtain information in this way? And if the situation becomes chaotic, how can she accurately listen to information from all sides?

But before I could think about it, I heard the girl ask in a very nice voice:

"Are you the lord of Yuxi City?"

Her voice was ethereal and slightly low-pitched.

I was thinking about how to answer when she suddenly raised her hand and a rain of arrows and stones came at me like a wave, without holding back at all. At that moment, the army was at her disposal, the bows and arrows were fired in three stages, and the catapults, which were not very accurate, fired at full range.

Just in a moment!

It was as if a dark cloud suddenly appeared before my eyes.

The rain of arrows and stones completely covered the area within dozens of meters around me.

How cruel!

Before hearing my answer, when she just judged that I might be the city lord, the girl's first reaction was to kill me mercilessly. To be honest, this temperament is more to my taste. If Bai Feng had half of her viciousness, I would probably have to die in the sea of ​​clouds.

Luger behind me held my back, trying to throw me to the ground, and shouted:

"City Lord, be careful!"

I stood firm and didn't let him knock me down. I turned around and advised him:

"Don't panic."

At the critical moment, the cold sword light burst out like a crescent moon, shaking away all the arrows in front of me and even breaking the stones into powder. The strong wind messed up my hair, and even a real man had to look up at the explosion in front of him. The arrows that lost their aim fell into the city one after another, and the stone chips and powder were like smoke and dust floating around.

Alayya, who came from a distance, stood in front of me with a sword, breathing hard, staring at the army below, and asked:

"Are you alright, Master?"

Of course it's okay. I noticed you were heading this way, so I wasn't panicking.

After all, he always stands in front of me when I am in danger. He is my family's guard.

I ruffled Alayya's hair, walked to her side, and shouted down:

"I am the lord of Yuxi City, the fourth son of Yunyang, Lide."

The girl in the wheelchair leaned forward and asked her brother something again. This time, because his brother answered louder, I could hear it more or less clearly:

"Sister, that woman with the sword is probably at the end of her strength. Our people are protected by formations, and it's not that easy to shoot them down with arrows or stones. As long as we keep fighting, this broken city will be breached sooner or later. Don't hesitate any more, there's no point in hesitating in a game that you're sure to win. No one will take care of that orphan."

The girl frowned and looked in my direction.

I stood still and didn't back down. After she thought for a while, she raised her hand again and ordered the arrows to be released.

Then she glanced briefly to the east, as if she were hesitant.

At that moment, I suddenly understood and realized what she was afraid of.

In the final analysis, the reason why these bastards came to Yuxi City to mess with me was because their father, Lord Zhaochen, had a feud with my father in his early years. Based on the principle of the son paying for the father's debt, Lord Zhaochen decided to send his son and daughter to mess with me. But the question is, will my father watch it?

He is indeed against me, but if I really die in Yuxi City, it will be a shame for the whole Yunyang. My father can allow me to be killed by my brother, but will he acquiesce to the killing of me by Lord Zhaochen, who has a grudge against him?

I can’t answer this question because I don’t dare to pin my hopes on my father.

Maybe he will first sever the father-son relationship with me and then stop caring about me.

But at least now, since I can think of this, the commander in the wheelchair should be able to think of it too.

Therefore, she did not dare to attack Yuxi City with all her might. Her own troops were not enough. Once all of them were invested in the battle against Yuxi City, once the support from Yunyang Territory in the east arrived, her army would immediately fall into chaos. At that time, defeat would be a small matter, and the entire army might be lost.

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood how to buy time for He Yue to develop.

Amid the overwhelming rain of arrows, I laughed.

It turns out that the person sitting in the wheelchair was not Zhuge Cunfu, but I was Zhuge Cunfu.

I want to sing Empty City.

I'm a bit sorry for not posting yesterday. I'm still very busy today. I'll give you an update tomorrow~

6. It's like there's a tiger lying next to you

After all, Alayya was a swordsman I had taught her, and even though her arms were sore from exhaustion, she still stood in front of me without flinching. Gradually, she could no longer rely solely on her sword energy to deflect the overwhelming arrows, and had to resort to close combat, using her sword to deflect the arrows that threatened my life.

I didn't retreat and she didn't leave.

She wouldn't ask me why.

When she pushed herself further to her limit and the arrow grazed her cheek, leaving a trail of blood, Alayya whispered:

"Master. It's time to go."

Before I finished speaking, a unique arrow with a blood-red pattern shot out of the air and accurately shot towards Alayya's neck. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her into my arms, while turning my body to the side so that the arrow missed. But then I found that the situation was worse than I thought. The arrow sank neatly into the wall beside me, completely tearing apart the cement defense line that I was proud of from the arrowhead to the arrow feathers, just like a mortar shot at me.

This is beyond the scope of bows and arrows.

I took a look at the city wall and found that these Zhaochen bastards had changed their formation again.

If the last formation was a hundred flowers blooming, this formation was a group of stars surrounding the moon. I didn't quite understand, but I got the general idea. The burly warrior standing in the middle was holding a longbow about 1.5 meters high. The heavy texture was obviously not an ordinary item. He was about the fourth level of archery, and theoretically, he couldn't shoot such a powerful arrow at such a long distance. But now the formation has changed. The others gathered around him to form a circular formation similar to a magic circle. This formation was extremely sophisticated, and the power of the others was accurately transmitted to the warrior at the center of the formation. At that moment, relying on these hundreds of people, the warrior's archery was actually raised by two levels. If it weren't for my quick eyes and hands, the exhausted Alaya would have a hard time taking this arrow.

But this commander does have something.

Alayya is at the fifth level of swordsmanship, and she was promoted to the fifth level of swordsmanship a month ago. She has been with me for four or five years, and even with my personal guidance, her promotion speed is still the same. But relying on the formation, the opponent can instantly pull a fourth-level archer to the sixth-level archer, crossing this distance in one breath, which would take years or even decades for ordinary people to cross. This magical formation really opened my eyes.

The girl in the wheelchair asked others about the situation, then raised her head again and looked over with a frown.

She probably didn't expect the arrow to miss.

I moved Alayya aside and shouted downstairs:

"Hey! What else can you do? Show me what you can do."

The girl in the wheelchair didn't answer. The naughty kid next to her jumped up and pointed at me and cursed:

"Don't be complacent! You just got lucky and dodged it. How capable do you think you are? Sooner or later, he will turn your wretch upside down. You will be in trouble then!"

No, I just don’t understand.

Look at you, you are not giving orders but just making trouble.

I ignored him and asked the girl in the wheelchair directly:

"Continue? I'll give you another chance. I'll be standing on the city wall. If you can kill me, it'll be your skill. How about that?"

Before the girl could answer, the child next to her shouted angrily:

"Don't run if you can! Everyone, get ready, give me—"

Before he finished speaking, the girl in the wheelchair whispered:

"Don't be impulsive, Ata."

The boy rocked the wheelchair, shaking the girl sitting in it left and right, muttering to himself:

"Don't be impulsive, sister. We have been fighting in this broken city for a long time. Now we have such a good opportunity, why not take action?"

The girl bit her lips, her eyes were closed the whole time, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing that no one was shooting arrows, I picked a flat brick and sat down, then began my performance in a nonchalant manner:

"Hurry up. Look how conscious your brother is. If we miss this opportunity, we'll never get it again. When the time comes, I'll retreat back to the city, and it'll be hard for you to find me."

The young man said to me fiercely:

"Crazy! Let you be crazy again!"

He ignored his sister and shouted orders to the army:

"Shoot! Shoot! I am the city lord, and I order you to shoot that ignorant bastard into a sieve!"

I looked down with cold eyes.

As expected, even though he gave the order, no one listened to him.

He was not the commander here, and the army did not seem to trust him at all. The people around him looked at the girl in the wheelchair with questioning eyes, as if waiting for her to express her opinion. The young man rushed directly to the archer who was as tall as an iron tower, punched him in the stomach, and tried to take the bow back from him.
