Seeing Xiaoman like this, Li Mo and Sun Simiao looked at each other again.
At this time, Sun Simiao no longer had the slightest worry. No matter how powerful the wealthy kid from Jianping County was, the person lying on the bed was the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, and there was nothing he could not solve.
"Okay, Grandpa Sun, you guys can chat for a while while I stew the fish I caught yesterday!"
Xiaoman smiled happily, took a few small basins in the house and left the hut again.
"Xiaodong, Xiaoman's brother and sister-in-law..."
After Xiaoman left, Sun Simiao looked at Lin Dong.
"Hey, Xiaoman had another fight with his brother and sister-in-law last night, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs. In three days, the Wang family will send someone to see Xiaoman. If they like him... he will marry him in a month."
Lin Dong turned his head and looked in the direction outside the house, and said in a low mood.
"A month? So soon?"
"It is said that Wang Yuan, who is working as an errand at Wuying Palace, will go home to visit his relatives in a month. The Wang family hopes for a double happiness."
"Going back to my hometown to visit relatives?"
"Well, it is said that the county magistrate has already started preparations."
Lin Dong silently packed the medicine bag on the table. At this point, this matter was most likely a foregone conclusion.
"Xiaodong, don't be sad... You and Xiaoman have taken good care of Li Langjun these past few days. Maybe things will turn around by then?"
Sun Simiao stood up and patted Lin Dong on the shoulder.
"Grandpa Sun, don't worry, we will take good care of Brother Li."
Unfortunately, Lin Dong did not understand the meaning of Sun Simiao's words.
"Okay! I'll go to the mountains to collect some medicine. You must take good care of me."
"Um!"
...
Just like that, only Lin Dong and Li Mo were left in the house.
After opening the medicine bag, lighting a fire, and then simmering it again, Lin Dong and Li Mo were chatting casually while actually getting into a horse stance.
"Xiaodong, do you want to practice martial arts?"
Seeing Lin Dong's serious face, Li Mo couldn't help but ask.
"Um!"
Lin Dong nodded heavily.
"Is it for Xiaoman?"
Li Mo looked at Lin Dong carefully again, and there was a little more appreciation in Li Mo's eyes.
This guy has an upright character and looks good. If he really wants to learn from martial arts, his achievements will not be low.
"Yes! I heard that as long as you are strong in martial arts, you will have the opportunity to become a member of the Four Palaces and One Pavilion of the Dragon Kingdom. Then we will no longer have to be afraid of the Wang family... Xiaoman will no longer have to suffer."
Unconsciously, beads of sweat appeared on Lin Dong's forehead.
"But...you can only make it in one month?"
"I know it's too late, but I will make it one day, and then I can save Xiao Man from the fire pit."
"oh!"
For a long time, Li Mo didn't ask about Xiaoman again.
"Then maybe you can do this... squat lower when doing Zama Stance, and tie some heavy objects to your arms..."
...
At noon, the sun shines brightly,
In front of Tongguan, flags were flying, tens of thousands of dragon cavalry were waiting in formation, and the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
"Brother, when will we attack the city?"
On horseback, Qin Fang and Cheng Ruobing were full of fighting spirit.
It has been more than three days since the Dragon Kingdom's army arrived at Tongguan, but they have not yet attacked the city, so the two of them are inevitably anxious.
"Waiting for news!"
Xue Song looked around.
Dozens of Shenwu cannons have been secretly deployed. Although Dayan's 200,000 troops have gathered at Tongguan, as long as the cannons fire together, he has full confidence to defeat Tongguan.
"Waiting for news? Waiting for what news?"
Qin Fang was puzzled and asked again.
In his opinion, the right time, right place, right people, and the most important thing is the momentum of the Dragon Kingdom's army.
Since the capture of Hangu Pass, the soldiers' momentum has been like a rainbow, with a posture of God blocking the killing god, and Buddha blocking the killing Buddha. However, as time goes by, this momentum will slowly dissipate, affecting the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Kingdom's cavalry.
"Waiting for the news from the two generals Gao Xianzhi and Li Guangbi, Dayan has agreed with Daliang to send troops to reinforce Hangu Pass. As long as the armies of the two generals enter Qinzhou, it will be time for us to attack Tongguan."
Xue Song's eyes flashed.
After this battle, there will no longer be Dayan and Great Liang in the world.
"Cooperation inside and outside? Brother, with our strength it is more than enough to capture Tongguan. There is no need to cooperate inside and outside."
Cheng Ruobing turned around and glanced in the direction of Tongguan.
Ever since the army of the Dragon Kingdom came to the city, the city wall of Tongguan has been guarded step by step, with a crossbow at every ten steps. I was afraid of a bird flying over it, but what's the use?
"No! The two generals will lead their troops to march directly to Chang'an!"
Xue Song shook his head.
"Only take Chang'an? That's it."
Only then did Qin Fang and Cheng Ruobing understand Ruyang's plan.
"Then wait!"
...
Time flies and night falls in a blink of an eye. The majestic Tongguan looks down on the vast land like a giant beast hidden in the darkness.
Thumping!
At this time, a homing pigeon landed in the dragon cavalry camp.
It took half a stick of incense,
The Dragon Kingdom's cavalry, which had been motionless for three days, suddenly started to move, and that's not to mention... As a long roar sounded, dozens of tongues of fire appeared in the night sky, and they rushed forward like meteors without hesitation.
The beast in the dark.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"No... Long Guo has taken action!"
For a moment, the sound of killing, the clash of weapons, and the friction of armor filled the sky above Tongguan, causing the birds that had already settled in their nests to scatter and flee.
The war began.
...
Zishi,
Chang'an City is already pitch dark, and the people have long fallen asleep.
However, the palace was still brightly lit. Ever since Hangu Pass was breached, Emperor An Lushan of Great Yan had not had a good night's sleep.
now,
In the imperial study room, An Lushan sat behind the dragon desk and kept rubbing his eyebrows.
"Is there no news yet from Fengchi?"
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the eunuch beside him.
"Your Majesty... Mr. Feng still hasn't sent back any news. He must have been delayed by something. After all, we are dealing with the Yinmen this time, and the Yinmen have always been arrogant..."
After a pause, the old man bowed and whispered.
"But even if things don't work out, there's always news!"
An Lushan felt agitated for no reason.
"this....."
"There is also Shi Siming of Great Zhou... He wrote a letter saying that he would send troops to the north of the Dragon Kingdom to go straight to Luoyang to share the pressure on our Great Yan. However... it was just that the thunder was loud and the rain was light, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Great Zhou were not there at all.
Any action, let alone attacking the Dragon Kingdom."
Bang!
The more he thought about it, the angrier An Lushan became.
It really hurts my teeth to drink cold water. Ever since I faced off against Long Guo, everything has been going wrong.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. We are not without help. Later today, hundreds of thousands of troops from Great Liang will have entered the borders of Qinzhou, and they may reach Tongguan in two days."
Seeing An Lushan's distress, the old man hurriedly comforted him.
"Sigh... I didn't expect that the person who would help in the end would be Li Xuan from Great Liang."
An Lushan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Theoretically speaking, Great Liang and Dayan should be mortal enemies, but in the end... they ended up becoming allies, how ironic!
