C634

Everything was ready.

Spring sprouts from the branches, and the smell of earth is replaced by the slightly drier scent of spring.

Under the old bricks, Gu had changed into a simple black robe. The cloak covered her body, so it was not necessary for her to maintain a straight posture. She had found a wooden sculpture on the back of her head, and she had also found a workman to polish it with.

"You can't have your hair disheveled on the battlefield." Since Phantom had said so, she had to give up the lighter headband.

Even so, the silver threads on the black cloak were still very expensive.

It was exactly five days since Lai Xuan came that day.

Lai Xuan had already left with his troops. The garrison troops would close all the city gates at noon and use the previously cleared land to cultivate, and during this half month, they had also killed off all the wild boars in the nearby mountains. All the kitchens were extremely busy, and the children no longer went out onto the street.

There was no one free.

When Gu Liuyan left, she saw a scene like this. It was something she had never thought of.

Lai Xuan organized everything and helped her up into the carriage. "Be careful. It's not a given that you'll be able to relax during this journey. I will always be by your side."

Gu Daiyan nodded and retreated back into the carriage. He could clearly feel that the carriage was bumpier than before.

The child in her womb was not yet noisy, only a few dizziness left her at a loss, but it was still tolerable.

Along the way, they encountered two surprise attacks, but none of them affected Lai Xuan. The entire army headed towards their target, the city. Not only that, even the carrier pigeon that Gu Cheng had sent to express their alliance had been shot down by Fan Feng.

Lai Xuan only sneered at this, "What's the difference between Aiyan and Gu Cheng?"

"Well said." Gu Danyan stretched out his head from the carriage with a smile and placed it on the ghost's shoulder.

"Go back to your soft country." Did he really think he was here for an outing!?

More than once, Lai Xuan had frowned at Gu Daiyan's excessive personality.

However, the soldiers nearby all laughed softly, as if they were not surprised by this matter. From the moment they had first started to loathe Gu Pingyan, they did not show it at all. After all, there were two more wounded soldiers in the carriage, both of them injured during the surprise attack.

Gu was forced to return to the carriage, where he leaned against the curtain of the carriage.

The two heavily injured soldiers had yet to wake up completely. Their heads were covered in sweat. Gu Daiyan was not in a hurry, he only said: "Lai Xuan is always wearing a straight face, no wonder she doesn't have any friends."

"That's why you made him say those words so he could set his mind at rest." The ghost felt as if he was hit in the back, and finally stopped talking.

He had long since gotten used to this sort of thing. Gu Danyan explored the hearts of people more often.

The huge army pulled back from the front lines. There were already generals and hundreds of archers standing on the city wall in front of them.

Meanwhile, Gu Danyan was leading his men to hibernate in the deep forest, stopping by a river. He was followed by Fan Feng and the thousand soldiers who came with him. All of them had changed their clothes and packed their water bags.

If there is a branch inside, it is split into half. The time you need to hold your breath in the water is less than an incense stick's worth of time, and if you have any problems, you can turn back. Gu Liuyan emphasized: "You must remember, success is not inevitable, failure is acceptable. Even if you encounter danger, you can come back at any time. There is no need to throw your life into the water, I will bring fifty people with me to wait for you here."

Seeing that the men had already tied the ropes, Gu Moyan stood up, "Fifty men in each team, leaving in a batch every hour. If we reach the shore, find a way to use the signal to gather. We'll wait until night."

"Yes." Fan Feng was the first to nod his head. The soldiers behind him also nodded their heads in succession to show that they understood.

However, he couldn't create too much noise here. Gu Daiyan was counting the people going down one by one, making people pay attention to the situation of the rope.

He did not know how twisted the ground water was, but the rope was definitely not long enough. However, it could become a sign for him to return. He did not have time to test the direction of the water and could only use his predecessors' calculations.

After all, if the water route could be used, the casualties on the frontlines would be reduced by a lot. At the same time, although the city was easy to attack and hard to defend, the military strength of the two sides was in sharp contrast.

He had to win the first match no matter what.

Lai Xuan's men would come once every two hours to pass the message. The ones who entered the water in the morning had already returned to the dozens, and they were nearly all lost among them. There were even some who were injured in the dark.

"Their city lord is asking for negotiations. General Lai Xuan has already sent people inside to negotiate." The messenger said. At this moment, there were no longer any colorful clouds in the sky.

Gu Daiyan bandaged the soldier's cut thigh. Without raising his head, he said, "It looks like we're stalling for time."

"Therefore, General Lai Xuan told me to report to you that this should be a night battle. Otherwise, when the enemy reinforcements arrive, everything will be over." The man stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Do you have anything you would like me to say to the general?"

"My words are of no use to him, but I need to know the movements of the hollow elders and Gu Sheng. No matter how busy the front lines are, he has to see the situation." Gu Danyan held onto the tree trunk and stood up. After saying this, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the anxious soldiers: "Bring him to the cave, next to the bonfire, feed him some food and let him rest."

"General, if we are about to start a war, we can also …" Some of the soldiers stood up, their clothes still wet.

Two hours underwater is more tiring than six hours on the ground. There's no need to throw your lives away. Rest first, and when the time is right, I'll get you guys to help. Gu Liuyan felt her calf was aching. She slowly sat down and gently kneaded her calf. Her vision was also blurry.

The messenger quietly left. The soldiers thought for a while before obediently closing their eyes to sleep. The forest was still as quiet as before.

Phantom Demon walked out of the cave and saw that Gu Pingyan still had some herbs and fresh blood on his hands. He walked over and carried her to the river and washed her hands clean: "The smell of blood is quite strong here."

"It's okay, as long as I don't think about the little guy in my stomach." Gu Daiyan opened his mouth lazily. He saw that someone was coming out from not too far away, but this time, it was different.

This was the only person who had pulled the rope out. The man was breathing heavily and his face was filled with joy, "We have found the way! They are thinking of a way to get there! "

Gu Liuyan's eyes lit up. All of the soldiers beside her opened their eyes and exclaimed softly.

It seemed like there was still hope for him to break through the barrier!
