Dian Wuxia leaned on Li Li's chest shyly, and said softly: "You can't say that. For us women, the first child is very important. Whether it is a boy or a girl, at least it means that we can have children. As a woman, if you can't give birth My child, what is the meaning of our life? There is no interest in life. What's more, a barren woman has no status in the family. Zigui. This sentence really hits the nail on the head for us women, even if we don’t rely on our children to elevate our status, it at least means that we are normal women and will not be discriminated against.”

What Dian Wuxia said made Li Li speechless. Although he didn't fully agree with it, in this society where men are superior to women, what Dian Wuxia said is undoubtedly correct.

The mother is more expensive than the child, which is the best interpretation of the living conditions of women in this era.

Seeing that Li Li was silent, Dian Wuxia caressed Li Li's chest, and asked softly, "Does your husband know who that person was peeking outside the door just now?"

Li Li laughed dumbfounded when he heard the words, and said in a dumbfounded manner: "Who? It must not be Zicheng (Li Zhi). He has been with me for a long time and knows how to avoid suspicion. Besides, he is not the guards. They were killed by you early in the morning." Chased away. The man just now walked lightly, obviously good at martial arts, who is it?"

"Husband" Dian Wuxia yelled, and said coquettishly, "Husband is highly skilled in martial arts and has excellent hearing. Who can approach you quietly? What's more, Li Zhi is guarding outside the tent, who can escape?" Why did his eyes enter the big tent? The husband deliberately pretended to be stupid, and the concubine refused to follow me!"

Li Li laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay, I said it's okay! That person just now is your personal bodyguard Ma Yunluo, except her, who can get close to your boudoir! Hehehe"

"Hehehe!" Dian Wuxia gently pinched Li Li's left nipple with a coquettish smile, leaned close to Li Li's ear, and said with a teasing smile: "Yunluo's appearance and figure are impeccable, with big breasts and fat buttocks." , making people dazzled and fascinated, especially her slender waist, the concubine looked envious. The conversation between her husband and Ma Teng at the base of Jicheng before must have been made out of nothing, and she must have been coveting Yunluo for a long time. , That's why you propose marriage to Ma Teng in public, and plan to marry Yunluo as a concubine. The concubine supports your husband in marrying Yunluo as a concubine, or else, you find a suitable opportunity, take her down, and cook rice for her! Hee hee hee"

"Cough, cough, cough! It's late at night, go to sleep!" Li Li choked on Dian Wuxia's words, coughed lightly, reached out to fan the oil lamp by the bed, covered his head with a brocade quilt, and fell asleep.

Chapter 360

The sky is white, and the dawn is breaking.

The dew is fading away, and everything is flourishing.

The exposed branches and leaves are emerald green and tender.

Yunwu City.

Overnight, countless dramas were staged in the city.

Swords and swords, love and hatred, great joy and great sorrow, the most noisy and chaotic scenes in the world are performed one by one.

However, all of this went with the night.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines on the world, driving away the darkness, ushering in the light, and all the haze dissipates.

Laughter and tears, hatred and blood, fame and vanity in the middle of the night are all buried under the morning glow and scattered in the rising sun.

Under the rising sun, Yunwu City is very quiet. There are few pedestrians in the streets and alleys. The shops, restaurants and small merchants are all closed.

On the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and groups of soldiers stood upright with their chests upright, their armors in order, and their weapons everywhere. A bleak and chilling atmosphere filled the whole city.

The only change in the city is that the "Han" battle flag flying high above the city tower in the past has now been replaced by two large flags.The battle flags with the word "Yan" were planted on the east gate and the gate of the north gate, but the battle flags with the word "Han" were still planted on the gates of the west and south gates, but beside the flag with the word "Han", there was a slightly smaller flag One point of the battle flag with the word "cheng" embroidered on it.

Just from the three battle flags, two big, one small, and three battle flags, it is not difficult to see that something big happened in the city last night.Yunwu City, which originally gathered under the flag of the "Han" battle, has now been divided into two, with the northeast and southwest half of the city facing each other.Due to the change of the battle flag, fences were built at the corners of the city towers that were originally accessible on all sides, so that the two forces were separated by fences, each guarding their own half of the city.

From the change of the battle flag, it is also not difficult to see that there was a fierce battle in the city last night.Or infighting.The two groups of people fought fiercely, vying for the ownership and control of the city. As a result, the two groups were evenly matched in strength.When it was dawn, the two sides had no choice but to strike a truce and draw a boundary to rule, each occupying half of the city.

Time passed slowly while waiting.

The sun moves slowly, regardless of the attitude of the earth, and sprinkles its fiery enthusiasm to the world, showing off its dazzling brilliance and powerful energy.

There are two poles in the sun.until noon.

Under the city of Yunwu.

Li Zheng's [-] cavalry marched to the north gate, while Guo Si's tens of thousands of cavalry approached the south gate. Li Li led [-] cavalry to march slowly towards the east gate, but no one cared about the west gate.

There are three poles in the sun until noon.

"Crench!"

With a clear and loud sound spread.The East City Gate suddenly opened wide, and the suspension bridge over the moat slowly fell.

"Boom!" When the suspension bridge fell to the ground with a bang.Thousands of soldiers poured out of the city.After rushing out of the city gate, they lined up in sequence from the suspension bridge to the city gate, lined up quickly, and lined the road to welcome Li Li's army into the city.

Li Li's army is in front of the battle.

This time he came to accept the surrender, but Li Li was dressed differently from when he was attacking Ma Teng.Last time he was wearing a long gown to talk to Ma Teng, but today he was wearing a dark red brocade robe.Wearing a dark gold and purple jade crown, wearing a golden chain mail, a python pattern lion belt around the waist, and auspicious cloud-covered boots on the feet.Under the crotch is the mount of the King of Beasts with the golden dragon, and in the palm of the hand is the golden sword with the iron back.

Dressed in military armor, he is mighty and imposing.

"My lord, I'm going to apologise. The information sent by the secret agent last night was wrong. The city was very chaotic last night, and the shouts and killings were loud, and the fighting didn't stop until dawn. It seems that Cheng Gongying sent someone to Jiang Shuji last night. It may be a false surrender, the purpose of which is to stabilize our army, lest our army take advantage of the internal strife in the city and attack the city overnight. It's just that Yan Yan didn't send anyone to send a letter of surrender last night, but how could he take the initiative to open the city to ask for it now? How about surrender?" Just as Li Li squinted his eyes and looked at the battle flag flying above the city, Li Zhi reported in a low voice.

After Li Li heard the words, he smiled lightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay. In fact, after dawn, our army scouts have inquired about the changes in the city last night. Last night, Han Sui died suddenly, and Yan Xing was assassinated in the bridal chamber, and he was seriously injured. , the newlywed wife Han Ling was cut off with a dagger by the thief. Afterwards, Han Sui's confidant general Cheng Gongying came to hear the news, suspecting that both Han Sui and Han Ling's father and daughter were killed by Yan Xing, he led his troops to attack the county guard. Mansion, trying to kill Yan Xing to avenge Han Sui. Immediately afterwards, Yan Xing's troops and Cheng Gongying's troops clashed fiercely, and the two sides fought all night. As a result, Cheng Gongying's troops were outnumbered and led their troops to retreat to the southwest half of the city, while Yan Xing still occupied The county guard's mansion and the northeast half of the city. Up to now, the two sides are still at a stalemate, and the dispute cannot be resolved. Hehehe"

Hearing this, Li Zhi relaxed a little, nodded and retreated behind Li Li, without further words.

After hearing Li Li's narration, the radiant Dian Wuxia rode up to Li Li's side and said in a low voice, "My lord, Cheng Gongying sent someone to send a letter of surrender, but he cheated and made our army miss a good opportunity last night. Yan Xing didn't hand in the letter of surrender last night, but now he opens the city gate to welcome our army into the city. What should we do now, can we enter the city or not?"

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed and said, "Since Yan Xing has opened the city to welcome us in, how can my cousin refuse his kindness. Zhang Liao obeys the order!"

"Please inform me, my lord." Zhang Liao rode his horse out of the queue and responded respectfully.

"This general ordered you to lead five thousand gold guards into the city immediately to find out what is true. After entering the city, quickly lead troops to the county guard's mansion to protect my cousin Yan Xing and take over the city gate. If there is any fraud in the city, just seize the city The door is enough, my tens of thousands of troops are ready to attack, and the whole city can be captured within an hour!"

"Promise, the last general will take orders!" Zhang Liao looked at Li Li with a slightly surprised expression, never expecting that Yan Yan, Han Sui's adopted son and son-in-law, was actually his lord's cousin.Immediately, he handed over his hands and took the command. Before the horse formation, he swung his saber and headed straight for the east gate suspension bridge with five thousand warriors.

Watching Zhang Liao lead the troops into the city, Dian Wuxia turned sideways and whispered to Li Li: "My husband asked Zhang Liao to lead the army into the city. Will Yan Xing feel resentful and think that you don't believe him? Besides, there are still troops led by Cheng Gongying in the city right now." A rebellious force, how does my husband plan to deal with it?"

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled calmly: "The situation under Han Sui in Jincheng is essentially the same as that of Ma Teng in Jicheng. The soldiers under their command have repeatedly fought with our army, and the two sides have deep grievances. Jicheng was captured by our army. Afterwards, Jincheng has become a lone army, and sooner or later it will be defeated. After our army joined forces with Li Zheng’s troops yesterday, if we attack the city aggressively, we will be able to forcibly capture it. But tonight, Jincheng’s soldiers and horses actually broke out in internal strife. The second reason is that both morale and troop strength are far inferior to those of yesterday. Under such favorable conditions, our army's capture of the entire city is like finding something out of a pocket, and we can win a single battle. After our army captures the northeast half of the city, if Cheng Gongying refuses to Surrender and still resist tenaciously, then we don't have to hesitate at all and attack directly.

Things that are too easy to get are often too easy to lose.Jincheng Han Sui's prestige in the counties of Liangzhou is still higher than that of Ma Teng, but he is dead now, which saves us a lot of worry and effort.Cheng Gongying led his troops to resist, but it provided us with a good opportunity to show our military power, defeat him in an upright manner, and deter Xiaoxiao and a group of waiting clans, as well as the surrounding Qiangdi tribes and grass bandits who are waiting for a price.

As for whether Cousin Yan Xing would be paranoid, he must be able to understand this point himself.In troubled times, one must not have the heart to harm others, but one must have the heart to guard against others!Only by being prepared can there be no danger, even if he feels uncomfortable, he will not be too fussy.Changing places, he will also be as cautious as I am.My cousin, by nature, is extremely cautious and thoughtful.If I don't act like a tester, I will make him look down on me and think that I am not good enough to accomplish great things! "

After speaking, Li Li shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly, his words and deeds all showed his understanding and respect for Yan Xing.

Dian Wuxia couldn't understand why Li Li valued Yan Xing so much.

Contrary to Li Li, Dian Wuxia strongly disagrees with Yan Xing's actions.

Judging from the information heard in the last two days, the deaths of both Han Sui and Han Ling had a close relationship with Yan Xing. In other words, both Han Sui's father and daughter died at Yan Xing's hands indirectly or directly.That's all for Han Sui, after all, he is the great enemy of Yan Xing and even the Yan family, so it is understandable for Yan Xing to take revenge.But Dian Wuxia was extremely displeased with Han Ling's death, thinking that Han Ling was innocent and a person who really liked Yan Xing, and even married him as his wife, but Han Ling died for no apparent reason.

Because of this, Dian Wuxia has a very bad impression of Yan Xing, thinking that he is a cold-blooded and heartless person.

After Zhang Liao led the troops into the city, it didn't take long for someone to send back the news that Yan Xing had indeed surrendered, and there was no ambush in the city.In addition, the sentry rider also reported a bad situation to Li Li, that is, Yan Xing was indeed seriously injured, and the injury was so serious that he had lost consciousness in his entire lower body, and now he was paralyzed in bed, dying.

Li Li was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately marched his army into the city. After entering the city gate, he drove the golden beast king Yiqi Juechen, and rushed straight to the sheriff's mansion.

County Sheriff's Office.

In the dormitory of the back hall, Li Li who hurried over saw Yan Xing lying on the couch.

After a year, the two brothers finally met again.

During this meeting, Li Li and Yan Xing did not exchange any pleasantries, nor did they have any exciting scenes of brothers meeting.On the contrary, their behavior after meeting was very special. The two sides looked at each other and then nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Afterwards, Li Li checked Yan Xing's injuries in person, and his expression changed slightly, his eyebrows were tightly frowned, and the expression on his face was particularly gloomy.Immediately he waved his hand to signal the soldiers and servants to retreat, only Li Zhi remained in the room, standing motionless at the door.
