It was already afternoon when Li Mu left Dingxiang City, and it was already evening when he returned. It was already midnight when he arrived in Dingxiang City. Li Mu drove his horse to the city gate. The city gate was closed. Before he could shout, countless torches suddenly lit up on the city wall, and someone shouted: "Stop the person coming, come and sign up!"

Li Mu felt familiar when he heard the voice and shouted, "Is it Gensheng?"

"Hey? Brother-in-law? Why are you back? Open the city gate!"

The one on the city wall is Bai Gensheng. You know, there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king. After Li Mu and Wang Hu both left, Bai Gensheng seemed to be a general in Dingxiang City, leading dozens of young and strong people to guard the east gate. This guy is not reliable enough, it is dark and has not seen his face clearly. He can open the city gate just by just the sound. If he really faces the enemy, wouldn’t it mean that he will give it to others!

Soon, the city gate opened and Li Mu rode into the city. Bai Gensheng hurriedly came up and asked, "Brother-in-law, why are you back? You don't know, something big happened. As soon as you left, the county magistrate said that the Turks were coming and closed the city gate. What are you doing when you come back? The war is about to go!"

"I just got the news." Li Mu didn't mind making a favor, and said, "Your sister is worried about you, so I'll let me come back, don't worry, your brother-in-law, I'm a person who comes and goes freely in the Turkic camp. I'm here to protect you from it."

"Okay, don't brag anymore." Bai Gensheng curled his lips and said, "We all grew up together. Who doesn't know who. I know how capable you are. Besides, aren't you lie? Can my sister bear to let you come back?" As he said, Bai Gensheng sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you go? The battle is imminent. If you can go, I will pretend that I didn't see you. Go away quickly and take good care of my sister."

Li Mu raised his hand and patted him, saying, "It makes me feel like a person who is afraid of death. Don't be timid and guard your door. Remember, you can't see your face clearly, don't open the door casually. If the Turkic people came just now, the city gate would be trapped."

Bai Gensheng was beaten and dared not talk nonsense. He took Qingzhuang back to take the city gate, and Li Mu rode his horse to the yamen alone.

The yamen was brightly lit, and at this time, Li Siwen could not sleep. She was sitting alone in the yard drinking, drinking by herself, and her eyes were already drunk. Li Mu didn't even notice it even when he entered the yard, and he was still pouring wine there.

"The county magistrate is so excited. Is it still in the mood to drink so late?"

"You know, I'm drunk. Who knows if I can drink it tomorrow? While I'm still alive, I'm worthy of such a few jars of wine?" Li Siwen took another sip and looked back at the person who disturbed his interest: "Who are you? You dare to trespass into the yamen... Hey? Why do you look a bit like Li Mu?"

Li Mu came close to him, sat down in front of Li Siwen, and said, "Isn't it me? You guy, you are smart and think you're so cool?"

Li Siwen was stunned, stared at Li Mu for a long time, and suddenly grabbed Li Mu's arm, and his eyes fell down: "Brother, it's really you! I knew you were the most loyal and would definitely not leave me alone. To be honest, I watched you leave, and I felt that my life was probably explained. Unexpectedly, when you come back, don't say anything. You are my good brother. Come on, I will give you a full list. Let's kowtow to Yue and beg for a friend..." Li Siwen said, and was about to pour wine for Li Mu, but he had already drunk too much and his hands were shaking. Before he could pick up the wine cup, the wine pot fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

"It's over! A sign of great danger!"

Li Mu shook his head and sighed. It seemed that this guy was planning to die, and he didn't even want to struggle. This would not work. Li Mu looked around and found a large tank of water storage near the courtyard wall. He pulled Li Siwen over and pressed him into the tank.

"What are you doing?" Li Siwen was filled with water and struggled to break away, glaring at Li Mu: "If you want to kill someone, don't you? If you want to kill someone, go get a knife. Why to torture me?"

"Before the battle was fought, I lost my strength first. Can I win?"

Li Siwen sat on the ground, lowered his head and said, "How can you win? Do you think that Princess Yicheng is an ordinary woman and a child? That is a female general who does not let the beards behave! My father told me about her deeds. Dou Jiande controlled Empress Xiao, and Princess Yicheng wrote a letter to ask for help. At first, Dou Jiande didn't take it seriously. Later, it was released because Princess Yicheng personally led 3,000 Turkic elite soldiers to attack the door, and broke Dou Jiande's third battalion, forcing him to hand over. My father once said that if she was born as a man, she would definitely be a general! What am I? How can I match him? Besides, our city wall has not been completed yet, how can we resist it!"

"It's better to surrender. Maybe she will be very merciful and spare your life?"

"How can this work!" Li Siwen stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Even if I die in battle, I can't surrender!"

"I'm not afraid of death anymore. What are you afraid of? Hurry up and cheer up, and you will know whether to lose or win or not after fighting." Li Mu said seriously: "I have been in the Turkic camp for a long time. According to my observation, although the Turkic cavalry is brave in fighting, they are not good at siegeing and defending the city. Although our city wall has not been completed, it is compared with the previous city wall. The completed part is no longer shorter than the Mayi city wall, and it is no problem to resist for a while. Since the general can send you a letter of warning, there will be no arrangements. We only need to defend the city without losing it. In less than two days, we will have a look."

"With that being said," Li Siwen sighed: "No soldier is easy to say but harder to do!"

"Then you have to work hard first!" Li Mu said: "Call everyone in the yamen and ask them to inform the people to gather at the yamen. I have something to say!"

Seeing Li Mu's attitude firm, Li Siwen also raised a sense of courage and said, "Brother, you are right. How can you know who wins and who loses before you have never played? Whatever you want, I will cooperate with you. Come on, our brothers have a fight with her!"

"That's right!" Li Mu patted Li Siwen on the shoulder and said, "I'll go see my father-in-law first. You go and change your clothes first, and I'll come!"
