This place is still some distance away from Lingzhou City, but the rising black smoke is clearly not too far away. Looking at the messy road, the handlebar type is not too panicked. There is this person next to him.

To an expert, no matter how many imperial troops there are, they will only look intimidating. How can the masters of martial arts be compared to ordinary warriors?

Suddenly, a burst of noise came from a distance, vague in the cold wind. After hearing it, the handlebar jumped directly onto the frame and looked forward, but he didn't see any figure in the white snow.[www

]

"How far is it from here to Lingzhou City?" Li Yu asked aloud.

I waited and watched for a while without any results, then jumped down and said, "If we take this road, we can get there in less than two hours."

Li Yu turned around and walked towards the car, "Then keep walking!" He had already entered the car when he finished speaking. It had been more than an hour. Judging from the scale of the black smoke, it didn't look like the town had been breached. It should still be there.

We can go forward for a while! He opened the curtains, looked at the slowly receding scenery, and fell into thought. Just as he was about to lower the curtains, the woods not far away caught his attention. To put it bluntly, it was walking through

Figure in the woods.

Because they were a little far away, Li Yu could only see a few of them. There were no less than a few hundred people in the crowd. Judging from their stature, there were many children mixed in. They were dragged down by their luggage, and their pace was very slow and faint.

There was also the sound of children crying.

"Hero, there are horse bandits." A handlebar voice came from the front, with a hint of trembling in the voice, obviously extremely nervous. As he spoke, some weird whistles gradually became clearer.

Li Yu looked diagonally ahead. In the snow-covered woods, dozens of knights appeared at some point, their horses hooves tumbling and running in a hurry. These knights were scattered widely, as if they were rounding up prey. The scimitars in their hands flashed in the snow light.

There was a fierce light shining in them. They all let out sharp and unpleasant screams, as if evil spirits were seeking their lives.

When the carriage was moving, whether it was the creaking of the ruts or the shaking of the carriage, the sound was not too quiet. After a while, Li Yu saw two riders breaking away from the cavalry and running straight towards them. He thought for a moment and simply

He opened the car curtain and grabbed the Zixiao Sword from his side. The knight on the horse synchronized his movements. Although his body was bumpy, his eyes were motionless. When Li Yu saw this, he stared at them with contempt,

He raised his hand and held the Zixiao Sword in front of him, holding the handle of the sword with his right hand, and slowly pulled out the blade.

Although the two knights saw the long sword, their attention was attracted by the gems inlaid on the hilt, and there was a look of greed in their eyes. Just when they were excited about this unexpected fortune, a thin mist

The light obscured their sight, and above the mist was a pair of ruthless eyes, even colder-blooded than the horse bandits they were.

The handlebar style is about to break the riding whip. Although the person sitting in the carriage is a master of martial arts, in his opinion, the farther the distance, the safer it is. Although he does not walk this road many times,

But he understood everything that was supposed to be heard, and he guessed their origins as soon as these people appeared, which was also the root cause of his trembling voice.

"Retreat!" But it came from the woods far away. The voice was very elegant, and the slow and unhurried speech was quite indifferent, which was a bit strange to Li Yu's ears. After the two knights heard it, they immediately

He turned the horse's head and walked away without looking back. His horseback riding skills were not good.

The speed of the car slowed down instantly, and the bumps in the car suddenly became much calmer. Li Yu put away the Zixiao Sword and had no interest in thinking about it. When the screams and cries were brought to his ears by the cold wind, Li Yu looked towards

Looking behind, I saw that those figures had been obscured by tall trees, and no trace could be found.

Are you a native of China? Li Yu smiled!

An hour later, Handlebar slowed down the car. There were many checkpoints encountered along the way, but without exception, they were all empty. Li Yu looked at Lingzhou City, which was already in sight, and said to Handlebar

In one sentence. "You can do it."

Hearing this, Xiangzi felt happy. The area outside Lingzhou City might have turned into a battlefield, and his life could be in danger if he was not careful. It was only after seeing the back of Li Yushi Shiran walking forward that he hurriedly

He shouted, "Hero, my poison..." and raised his hand as he spoke.

"I act with discretion. The energy in your body has dissipated yesterday, so it's okay." After Li Yu finished speaking, he deviated from the official road and walked forward. After hearing about it, the handlebar type subconsciously squeezed his palms, as if there was nothing wrong with him.

It was strange. Although he was still a little worried, he didn't dare to say anything again before Li Yu's figure disappeared. After a while, he suddenly seemed to remember, reached out and took out something from his arms, and carefully

After taking a closer look, he chuckled.

***

Li Yu kept walking along the official road. Maybe there were horse bandits passing through the border just now. He didn't meet anyone along the way, not even the patrolling troops. But when he walked fifty meters outside Lingzhou City,

At that time, it was only then that there were horse bandits so unscrupulous in a place so close to Lingzhou City.

Faint shouts went straight through the sky, and the sound of footsteps running back and forth indicated the bustle in the city. There were also crowds of people on the city walls. However, it was almost noon, but the city gate was tightly closed, and the open space in front of the city gate was filled with

Juma Zhuang, the cloud of war has already shrouded the sky over Lingzhou City.

Li Yu was hesitant when he saw this. In his current situation, it was naturally unrealistic to break into the city like this, and it would take a long time to bypass Lingzhou City. Not to mention the waste, he could not guarantee that there would be no traffic on the way.

Lost. After thinking about it, he decided to stay where he was and wait. Lingzhou City had become a tight bow and arrow, and there was a possibility of firing at any time.

"Dong, dong, dong", a burst of fierce war drums sounded, and the originally faint roar was amplified at that moment, startling the birds, insects and beasts around Lingzhou City to panic.

Li Yu could not see the scene on the battlefield. Hearing the rumbling sounds from time to time, he could only think about it in his heart. Lingzhou City, as one of the most important cities in the west of this dynasty, had gone through the baptism of war.

He has not aged. The strong and towering city walls and the soldiers who have been tested by war are not easily broken by the enemy. What makes him a little sad is that the last alarm bell in Lingzhou City obviously did not attract the attention of the army. The original defense was in front of Li Yu

Half of the soldiers on the wall have been withdrawn.

Minute by second, fighting was raging on the other side of the city, with angry shouts and screams coming one after another. Although what was heard was just noisy sounds, they represented blood and dignity. Time and time again, the collision of blood and flesh, a sound

The roars from the mouth and heart shattered every soul.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour...

The shouting was no longer as loud as it was at the beginning. It may be because the number of people in Lingzhou City has decreased, or it may be that the enemy is slowing down the pace of the attack. To Li Yu's dismay, after an hour,

It is unreasonable that no army came to support.

Li Yu stuck the Zixiao Sword on the snow and jumped on the spot with his arms folded. The weather had improved a bit, but a cold wind had been blowing from time to time since just now, making him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar. It was even more frustrating.

What he was worried about was that, looking at the current weather, a new snowfall was already foreseeable, and he would have to make a decision then.

The shouts in Lingzhou City finally slowed down. Except for the intermittent sound of smashing walls, the rest was just the continuous banging of war drums. This was just the first round of the enemy's attack, and it might just be a test.

Yes, the next round of attacks will be even more powerful. When the sound of smashing the wall has completely stopped, the snow has also begun to fall, and it is not small.

Li Yu took one last look at Lingzhou City, got up and walked back. He had passed by a village on the way here, and it was probably okay to rest. He walked with his numb legs and feet in the wind and snow.

As he stood, his eyes would look back at Lingzhou City from time to time.

"Dedede", suddenly there was the sound of horse hoofbeats, and Li Yu hurriedly hid behind a big tree. Through the falling snowflakes, he saw a man galloping towards the horse. Both the horse and the charioteer have special characteristics.

The mark was actually the postman who delivered the message. Seeing that the posthorse was submerged in the wind and snow, and when he was about to continue on his way, a very uneasy feeling arose in him.

"Tell me, you are a human being, why are you sneaking around here?" She yelled sternly, and what made people even more frightened was the pair of Emei thorns shining brightly in her hands.

Li Yu didn't expect that Yima would be followed by two Jianghu people. When he realized that his figure was exposed, the two men wearing bamboo hats were already standing in front of him. The man was relatively petite and might be an Emei disciple.

."Passing by." The other party's attitude determines the tone of his reply.

"Hmph, that's nonsense. I think you look like a spy from the enemy country." The woman said and waved the Emei thorn in her hand without explanation.

Li Yu didn't even look at it. He changed the direction and continued to move forward. His appearance seemed a bit provocative in the eyes of the woman. He opened his hands and a faint layer of Emei thorns appeared.

white light.

"Junior sister Ning'er, wait a minute." Another person spoke to her. Looking at her slender figure, Li Yu thought she was a man, but she turned out to be a woman. "This person doesn't seem to know martial arts, so he shouldn't be a spy!

"The voice is indeed clear and sweet, and a bit more graceful than that of the petite woman.

Ning'er turned around and scolded, "Idiot Yue'er, who told you that people who don't know martial arts are not spies? Do you think the sword in his hand is something that ordinary people can have?" When she said this, she looked at it specially.

He looked at the long sword in Li Yu's hand and said, "Hey, Yue'er, do you think the sword in his hand looks familiar?"

Yue'er's eyes suddenly shot through the bamboo hat, and when she noticed the sword, she let out an "ah" sound.
