The gatehouse of the green brick house on the fourth floor is more than ten feet high.
The archway, which was originally used to show family status, was now used as a defense, and the wall of more than ten feet was filled with people.
When I got closer, I saw that most of them were women and children. Li Chenghong and Li Chengxue, who were wearing armor, stood among them, which was particularly eye-catching.
All the men in the family, as long as they could still walk, were conscripted onto the city wall. These two brothers, when Hu Shichang summoned Li Shixian to Beicheng at dusk yesterday, Li Shixian only thought that a big change would happen, and maybe the city would
was breached. So I secretly sent my two sons to my home...
From then on, the entire Li family stayed on guard on the gatehouse all night. The screams and shouts of death coming from outside the city from time to time could naturally be heard clearly.
At dawn, the sound of killing below the city was even more deafening. Everyone thought that the rebels were attacking the city overnight. They also didn't know whether the city would be captured. Everyone's face was filled with tragedy and fear.
Li Chenghong and Li Chengxue, one on the left and one on the right, stood on either side of a woman, staring closely at Beicheng, listening to the movements on the city.
The woman in the middle is dressed in armor, full of heroic spirit, and looks so sassy.
However, she was still alive and extremely beautiful, with icy muscles and jade bones, bright eyes and white teeth, she was such a peerless beauty.
He looks like he is in his early thirties, but if he says he is only in his twenties, some people will definitely believe him.
If you take a closer look, it is at least eighty similar to Li Chengzhi...
Hearing the horse's hooves approaching, everyone lowered their bodies, drew their bows, and moved rocks. Li Chenghong and Li Chengxue subconsciously took a step forward to protect the woman behind them.
"Why are you panicking?" Guo Yuzhi scolded in a cold voice, "Can't you tell it's just a horse?"
The two brothers listened carefully and found that there was only the sound of a horse. They couldn't help but blush.
Just as he was guessing, he saw the horse turning around the corner of the square, and when he saw the figure of the horse clearly, someone with sharp eyes called out urgently: "Looks like Erlang?"
Take a closer look, isn't it Li Shixian?
Li Shixian whipped his horse whip very fast, as if he wanted to give the horse a pair of wings to fly over. His face was not only gloomy, but also full of urgency, as if there was an enemy chasing him behind him.
Everyone's heart sank involuntarily.
No wonder there are no more howls coming from outside the city. I am afraid that the city... is already broken...
"Wow..."
I don’t know whether it was the concubine or the maid, but she suddenly burst into tears.
Guo Yuzhi frowned and whipped out the whip: "Shut up... Even if you want to die, you should die in an upright manner..."
After speaking for a while, Guo Yuzhi gritted his teeth again. Although his face was as pale as paper, it was full of determination and determination.
"Chenghong!"
Li Chenghong responded respectfully: "Mother!"
"Go and bring the jar of wine in the main hall... If the bandits really enter the city, let everyone share a bowl..."
Li Chenghong's expression changed suddenly.
When Zhoucheng was besieged, I heard my biological mother secretly say: My mother had already prepared some wine, just waiting for this day.
It seems that even my father doesn’t know...
Those who had the wit to react also reacted. The youngest concubine fell to her knees with a "pop" and kowtowed down one by one: "It is not a pity to die, but Chengshi (Lee Shixian's youngest son) is only three years old..."
Madam, please be merciful..."
With tears in Guo Yuzhi's eyes and clenched teeth, he forcibly picked up Concubine Ji, and scolded sadly: "You think I am willing to be so cruel? Why don't you think about it, the thieves outside the city not only eat raw vegetables and meat, but also
Treat a child as a sacrifice?
If you suffer all the humiliation before death, you will eventually fall into the belly of an animal, and you won’t even be able to keep your whole body. How will you see your ancestors after death?”
Everyone froze, and their faces instantly turned pale. Several concubines and maids clenched their teeth, but they still couldn't stop crying...
Li Shixian stood under the door, looking confused.
The city has not yet been destroyed, why did your own family become chaotic first?
Seeing that even his two sons ignored him, Li Shixian cursed angrily: "You evildoer, you didn't realize that your father was already at the door, so why didn't you open the door?"
From your father's tone, it doesn't sound like the city is in ruins?
Li Chenghong glanced down suspiciously, and met Li Shixian's angry gaze. He immediately shrank his neck in fear and ran down like flying.
"Erlang, but... the city was destroyed?" A concubine asked in a sobbing voice.
Li Shixian's face darkened: What a bird feather?
I said how can it be like a chicken flying up a wall? Is it because of this?
Just as he was about to curse, he heard a noise inside the door, as if his two sons were lifting something heavy on top of the door. Li Shixian dismounted and put the reins on the hitching post.
"Why are you crying before you even see this traitor?" Li Shixian asked suspiciously.
No matter how unbearable these two were, they didn't dare to talk behind their backs. They looked at each other instinctively. Just when they were thinking about how to fool them, they felt a pain in their necks.
Li Shixian fired his bows from left to right, and one of them slapped him, then glared and cursed: "You bastard, do you even want to trick grandpa?"
The two brothers didn't even think about what Li Shixian did for food. As soon as they rolled their eyes, their father found out...
"Husband, don't blame them!"
At some point, Guo Yuzhi also came down from the wall and was standing behind the door to face him, with a sad face: "I prepared the dove wine..."
Li Shixian was so shocked that the flesh on his face twitched.
It is better to die than to live. Living for a while is just a moment...
This is an eternal truth. How can Jiujiu be so delicious?
Guo Yuzhi did this because he didn't want to be humiliated before his death, and he was even more afraid of humiliating the Li family...
With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?
Li Shixian felt warm in his heart, looked at Guo Yuzhi with distress and pity, and said warmly: "It's hard for Madam..."
Then he turned to look at his two sons: "Pour that wine quickly... No, smash it... The thieves can't get in..."
Then he pondered for a while and solemnly explained to Li Chenghong, "Your mother and I have something to talk about. Guard the door. If the governor sends someone to summon him, please delay for a while..."
Li Chenghong was ecstatic, as if he couldn't even breathe: "Father, have the traitors retreated?"
"Retreating means not retreating?"
Li Shixian didn't know what to say, he held his chin and hesitated, "But it should be soon... Your second brother personally led the army and has already attacked the city..."
My second brother...my second brother is Chengzhi?
Li Chenghong was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Li Shixian as if he had seen a ghost.
Could it be that what the father said should not be Chengzhi?
I knew no one would believe it...
Li Shixian changed his thoughts, then glared and cursed: "How many second brothers do you have? Grandpa is talking about Chengzhi... What idiot, what are you doing in a daze, and you still haven't closed the door?"
Before the scolding ended, and Li Shixian hadn't even lifted his feet, he suddenly heard a "dong" sound behind him.
Guo Yuzhi actually fainted?
Li Shixian panicked and grabbed Guo Yuzhi in his arms as fast as an arrow.
Before the call came out, she opened her eyes again.
Suddenly feeling pain in both wrists, Li Shixian lowered his head and saw that his wife's fingers were like iron hoops, as if they were embedded in his flesh.
The voice was even more urgent and stern: "Li Huaide, don't you want to trick me...my son...is he still alive?"
