However, Li Ye finally failed to wait until all the food and grass outside Xichun City were recovered, and rushed back to Nanyun City.

Before returning, he specially called Ma Tianyun, Wang Tianhua, and Wei Qingyu into the city lord's mansion.

"There is an emergency in Nanyun City. I have to go back. I will leave this place to you three. After collecting the food and grass, Tianhua and Qingyu will come to Nanyun City to join me."

Wang Tianhua and Wei Qingyu nodded.

Li Ye looked at Ma Tianyun and continued: "The construction of the trading market in Xichun City will be carried out at the place we choose. The required silver will be delivered in a few days."

"Don't worry, Imperial Master, as long as the general is in Xichun City, I will never let you down." Ma Tianyun nodded solemnly.

"I've told you what I have to explain. It is estimated that people from the grassland tribe will send people to assist you after the spring. If you don't understand anything, you can discuss it with City Master Yang. He will be here soon."

Thinking about the construction of the trading market, Li Ye was worried but had no choice. After all, Yang Kaiyi was here.

Nalan Yu hurried over after receiving the news. Looking at Li Ye's frown, he only asked: "When are you leaving?"

Li Ye glanced at him and said, "Go find Mu Mu and leave immediately."

Nalan Yu was startled. This was the first time he saw Li Ye in such a hurry. He had never seen him like this even when the army in Nanyun City was poisoned. Could it be that something happened in Nanyun City?

"Mu Mu is just outside the gate. She said there is nothing to deal with." Nalan Yu thought about what Mu Mu said when he first entered the door.

Li Ye nodded, turned to look at the three of them and said, "There is plenty of time here, and there is no shortage of food and grass. Let the soldiers rest for a few days after the harvest is completed."

Ma Tianyun nodded in agreement.

Looking at Li Ye walking out, Wei Qingyu said softly: "Pay attention to safety on the road."

Li Ye looked back at her and replied, "Same goes for you! The city will be sealed off after I leave. No one can enter the city without a pass issued by City Master Yang."

"In the direction of Nanyun City?" Ma Tianyun asked.

"Yes! There is no need to block those in the direction of the grassland, let them come and go freely." What Li Ye is afraid of now is not the people from the grassland tribes, but the killers from the Imperial City who will come again to cause trouble.

After giving instructions, Li Ye left in a hurry with Nalan Yu.

After the two left, the three of them looked in the direction of Nanyun City and thought for a long time.

Could it be said that there have been changes in Nanyun City again? Or has the Imperial City sent assassins to assassinate the National Preceptor and the Generalissimo again?

...

It wasn't until today that Li Ye discovered that he still underestimated the powerful people in the imperial city. He didn't expect that they would dare to send another killer after he had already sent back fifty-seven heads.

If he had known this, he would have definitely returned to the Imperial City early to kill those guys who were trying to change the world.

Everyone along the way, including the group of people led by Li Ye, including the ten black-clothed personal guards left by the eldest prince, were all galloping on their horses. Even someone like Mu Mu, who liked comfort, was riding on the horse.

Drink water at the halfway station, rest for a while, change the army horses, and then rush to Nanyun City.

"Brother, did something happen?" Mu Mu jumped on the horse and looked at Li Ye and asked.

Li Ye frowned, looked at her and said: I don't know the specific situation, I'll talk about it later."

Nalanyu knew that there would be no results from the inquiry, so he rushed forward early with a group of personal guards.

Running wildly all the way, just after Shenshi, a group of people rushed into Nanyun City Gate and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as they entered the city lord's mansion, before Li Ye could get off his horse, Xia Wutong rushed out after hearing the noise, took Li Ye's hand and ran inside, saying as he ran: "Save brother!"

Mu Mu, who was following behind, frowned tightly when she heard this. She seemed to have understood what had happened.

Nalan Yu followed with a group of personal guards and entered the city lord's mansion together.

Entering Yang Kaiyi's living room, I found him frowning and looking at Tang Qiuyu with a sigh. Sitting next to him was Yeluyan who was in tears, and Xia Yunlan was sitting aside without saying anything.

"What's going on? There are so many masters in Nanyun City. How could the general get injured?" Li Ye yelled as soon as he entered the room.

Tang Qiuyu glanced at him and said softly: "You'd better take a look at him first. This didn't happen in the city."

Li Ye didn't ask any more questions, but followed Tang Qiuyu and rushed into the back room.

Looking at the eldest prince lying on the bed with a dark expression on his face, Li Ye gently picked up his right hand, released his consciousness, and examined it carefully.

After a while, he opened the quilt covering him, looked at the arrow wound on his chest, frowned and said, "This is a poisonous arrow!"

Tang Qiuyu looked at him and nodded.

Li Ye reached out and tore off all the herbs from the eldest prince's wound, put it under his nose and smelled it, then threw it on the ground. "These herbs are useless."

"Go get a basin of warm water and some salt." Li Ye looked at Xia Yunlan behind him and said.

"The injury is on the right chest. It's not a problem. Just remove the poison." Li Ye said softly, looking at Xia Wutong and Yeluyan who were standing aside wiping tears.

Xia Wutong looked at him and asked, "Junior brother, do you have any idea?"

Li Ye looked at her and smiled and said, "In addition to being able to forge swords, I can also practice medicine, but I can't practice elixirs."

Upon hearing this, Yeluyan let out a heavy breath, looked at him and said, "It would be great if the Imperial Master is here. We were scared to death."

Yang Kaiyi pulled Li Ye outside the house and said in a solemn voice: "These killers originally came for the Imperial Preceptor and the Generalissimo."

"Are there any survivors?" Li Ye looked at him and asked in a deep voice.

Yang Kaiyi shook his head. "At that time, the eldest prince and his people were outside the city watching the soldiers harvesting grain and grass. Xia Yunlan and I were not there, and only a few personal guards were following us."

"When Commander Xia got the news and rushed outside the city, most of the dozen killers had been killed. The remaining ones took poison and committed suicide when they saw the arrival of reinforcements."

Yang Kaiyi felt that he was still too careless. He only paid close attention to the defense in the city, but forgot about the protection outside the city.

Just as he was talking, Xia Yunlan walked in with a basin of water, looked at Li Ye and asked, "How to do it?"

"Go and clean the Generalissimo's wound. Don't apply any more medicine. I'm going to boil some medicine for him to drink." After saying that, Li Ye poured half of the salt Xia Yunlan was holding into the water.

"Let's go cook the medicine and talk while cooking." Li Ye took Yang Kaiyi's hand and walked behind.

...

"It seems that we were still less prepared and allowed them to find an opportunity for a sneak attack." After listening to Yang Kaiyi's introduction, Li Ye seemed to have returned to two days ago.

It was past half time. The eldest prince, who had been in the city for several days, was worried about the progress of the harvest of grain and grass outside the city. He took his sister to have a look outside the city. Tang Qiuyu couldn't stop him, so he had to call a dozen Xuanyi guards.

Follow along together.

The group of people wandered outside the city for half a year, looking at the carts of grain and grass being brought to Nanyun City. The eldest prince smiled and said to Tang Qiuyu: "It's still the national teacher's method. When I came to Southern Xinjiang, I just wanted to solve the problem of grain and grass supply."

problem."

Tang Qiuyu looked at him and smiled: "If it weren't for the foresight of the Imperial Master, we would all be hungry right now."

Xia Wutong also said: "Although my junior brother is young, he is much better at handling things than his elder brother."

The eldest prince glared at her and said with a smile: "Otherwise, why would my father find him to help me?"

"Whoosh!"

The flow of air.

A black branch cuts through the autumn wind, shooting from the field not far away towards the chattering and laughing Xia Wutong.

Tang Qiuyu was startled, and he drew his sword and slashed out...

stab in the back!

A black arrow was chopped down by her and fell to the ground.

Before the group of people could recover, "Swish, swish, swish!" More black feather arrows were shot towards the eldest prince.

"Their target is the Generalissimo!" Tang Qiuyu shouted while looking at the black-clad guards behind him.

A guard who came back to his senses instantly lit the fireworks in his hand, and with a "whoosh!" sound, a dazzling firework lit up in the sky.

The eldest prince who came back to his senses did not try to dodge the black arrows that were coming towards him. Instead, he pulled Xia Wutong over, threw her under him, and used his body to block the black arrows flying towards the two of them.

.

At a glance, the killers harvesting in the fields stood up one after another, and dozens of them rushed towards the eldest prince.

Tang Qiuyu did not dare to rush forward, but stood in front of the eldest prince, holding Qiu Shui Wuhen tightly in his hand, ready to draw his sword at any time.

This was a premeditated attack.

The best way to capture prey is not to trap them, but to attack them when they aren't looking.

It's the same as before.

The dozen or so personal guards were all in the late Nascent Soul and Distracting God Realm. After they regained consciousness, they were naturally not afraid of the opponent's cold arrows and rushed forward to fight with the opponent.

But Tang Qiuqiu didn't dare because she had no choice. She had to protect the safety of the eldest prince and Xia Wutong without knowing her opponent.

The eldest prince was too weak, and so was Xia Wutong. Neither of them had faced off against the enemy, so she could only concentrate on waiting in front of them.

In order to ambush the eldest prince and the imperial master, these killers disguised themselves as sergeants from Nanyun City and soldiers harvesting grain and grass, just waiting for the fatal moment in front of them, although they did not wait for Li Ye.

Fortunately, when Tang Qiuyu went out, he called over a dozen personal guards in black.

Fortunately, the guards always brought fireworks to communicate with Xia Yunlan.

When the fireworks go off.

The guards in the city have received the news.

Xia Yunlan rushed towards the outside of the city like a black arrow.
