"It's just right," the soldier squeezed his eyes, "I can show this fifth-rank civil servant that it is not so easy to fight a war, so that he will never dare to fight again in the future!"

This remark made the regent angry again, and he slapped the table again, "Nonsense! Do you really think that Xue Lince has never seen a dead person? Half a month ago, the rebel army went north to attack Yuedong. The army is wiped out!"

The man froze for a moment, but he was not sure what the regent was thinking, "Then... this Xue Lince still has some skills, why does the prince not want him to come?"

"No matter how capable he is, he is just a mere fifth-rank civil servant!" The regent stared, with blue veins popping out on his forehead, his temples twitched non-stop, and his eyes quickly turned red with anger, "Rehabilitated! The battlefield is not a place for these five-rank civil servants from the official family to be inlaid with gold, it is simply unreasonable!"

"Your Majesty, calm down," the other soldiers also began to persuade, "This Xue Lince is only a fifth-rank civil servant. Even if he takes the position of General Zhenbei, he will not last long. Why don't you let him stay and wait for him to eat?" If he suffers, he will find a way to leave on his own."

The regent's eyebrows twitched, the scarlet in his eyes quickly faded, and his violently heaving chest quickly returned to calm. After a long silence, he sat back in his original position tiredly, pinching the armrest of the chair with a "click".

"Since we have come, this is the only way we can do now."

He squinted his eyes and sighed.

Seeing that he finally calmed down, the rest of the soldiers also let out a long sigh of relief, their shoulders collapsed, and they all found excuses to go out and slip away.

The first night in the city was anything but peaceful.

In the middle of the night, not long after Xue Lince lay down, he suddenly heard a burst of movement outside. The "bang bang" movement was earth-shattering, as if a string of thunder rolled over his head.

After experiencing the incident of resisting the rebels, he was very familiar with this sound. It was clearly not thunder, but the rebels were attacking the city gate!

His back tightened immediately, and he immediately bounced off the bed like a spring, and quickly put on his clothes.

Tang Luoyu was also awakened by this movement. She looked from the window and saw countless flames lit up in the ink-like night, like a fire dragon, winding and tearing the earth and the sky into pieces at the same time, " "Boom, boom, boom" sounds of siege can be heard endlessly.

"Luo Yu, pack your clothes first." Xue Lince put on the armor neatly, and solemnly took Tang Luoyu's hand before leaving, "The rebels are already attacking the city, so be careful."

Tang Luoyu's palm was cold, while Xue Lince's was warm. As soon as the two touched, the heat spread from the skin.

"Well," Tang Luoyu replied solemnly, "You should also be careful."

Before she could answer, Xue Lince let go of her hand, turned around and opened the door into the night.

In the corridor, soldiers carrying long spears and sticks gathered together from all directions, and there was a sound of metal colliding in the ear, just listening to it made people feel tight.

"Brother Xue!"

Ke Ran and Chai Jin recognized Xue Lince's figure in the crowd, and hurried forward to join them.

"I heard that the rebels have already arrived at the gate of the city, let's go there quickly!"

Chai Jin was also wearing armor, with a stern expression on his face, urging him.

"Where is the Prince Regent?"

Xue Lince looked around for a while. Although he is the general of Zhenbei, the redress is still under the command of the regent, and he has not received any instructions just now.

"It must have gone to the city gate," Ke Ran speculated, pointing to the soldiers who were moving quickly, "Don't worry about it so much, let's go quickly! The rebels have already started attacking!"

With no time to think about it, Xue Lince could only quickly head to the city gate with the two of them.

The closer they got, the clearer the thunderous "bang" sound was, almost like an earth dragon turning over. The three quickly climbed up to the city gate, and sure enough, they saw the regent standing on top.

He was wearing armor, with his hand on the handle of the knife, and stood with his back to the crowd, like a dark silhouette in the night. The white tassel on the armor moved with the wind, just like a marshal who came out of a folk novel.

"My lord."

Xue Lince stepped forward and saluted, and the regent only responded indifferently, his eyes half-moving, staring fixedly at the rebels below.

I saw the rebels under the city gate holding torches, and looking down from the top, the dots of lights gathered in one place, which looked like a sea of ​​fire. Looking around, this sea of ​​fire extended to all directions, endlessly, and it was impossible to see. Clear the margins.

Xue Lince frowned, "There are so many rebels."

"Naturally," the regent said indifferently, "Most of these rebels were instigated by the cult, and not only well-trained soldiers came to attack the city tonight, but also many people from the cult. "

"How does the prince know?"

Xue Lince couldn't help asking.

"Oh," the regent sneered, "this king has been guarding here for many days, so he knows better than you, a fifth-rank civil servant who has just arrived."

Xue Lince heard something strange, and dared to look down on him, a civil servant, as the general of Zhenbei.

He and Chai Ke behind him looked at each other, just in time to see the same unconvinced expressions on both of them.

"Then what should we do now?" Xue Lince's attitude was still humble, and his voice was steady, without panic, "Should we send people to guard the city gate or attack directly?"

A look of displeasure flashed across the regent's face, and before he could speak, another subordinate beside him couldn't hold back, ran over in a hurry, and said loudly: "My lord! The rebel army has already approached the city, please ask your lord to give me your subordinates!" Let’s go out to meet the enemy! We will definitely beat them to pieces, and keep the city well protected!"

He spoke very earnestly, but the regent's eyes did not stay on him, he just continued to frown and look at the gate of the city.

The two sides were silent for a long time, and after a while, the regent held his sword hilt and said slowly, "Okay, then you take a team and go out to fight. Remember, don't love to fight."

"Yes!"

The subordinate received the order, and hurriedly went down the city gate. After a while, the city gate under his feet opened slowly, and the soldier rushed out with thousands of troops, like an arrow leaving the string. The rebels who approached the gate dispersed.

He was riding on horseback, wielding a long knife, and in a blink of an eye he disappeared into the rebels holding torches.

Xue Lince felt uneasy, and asked again: "My lord, these thousands of troops are not enough to fight against the cult and the rebels. If you want to defend the city gate, you will have to send some more troops to go there. Otherwise, this group of troops will be like sheep. No return."

Hearing that the regent was not only not worried, but was extremely calm, he only slowly turned his head and gave him a sideways glance, and said leisurely, "Master Xue is really prepared for danger in times of peace, but this battlefield is not a joke. I told you before that this cult is cunning. Just take a closer look."
