"Hurry up and run." These were the first words that Kong Sheng said to the Xiu'er.

Xiu'er was stunned for a moment. From the moment the two of them went out to now, Kong Sheng had been bringing her through alleys and alleys, climbing onto the city walls from an inconspicuous corner. He hadn't said a word throughout the entire trip, but who would have thought that this would be the very first sentence they would hear.

"Why?" Xiu'er subconsciously asked.

Kong Sheng pursed his lips, turning his head to look at the Xiu'er, "His Majesty ordered for me to kill you, and to see your corpse if you are alive. Now that the Tiger King wants your life, no matter what purpose Mo Qiu has, I will carry him to the end. But I don't know what to do with His Majesty's orders. " After saying that, he shook his head in distress, "In the three days since you guys came back, Old Zhao and I have organized the military intelligence and the death list. We also thought of many countermeasures, but we could not think of how to explain your situation to His Majesty. Last night, Moqiu Army sent a letter asking us to hand over the three of you. I think this might be an opportunity, so it took me half a day before I could report this to the capital. This half a day is more than enough for you to escape. "

After saying these words, Kong Sheng found it difficult to speak. He was a soldier that was close to the old school, and to disobey the emperor's orders to release a criminal was very difficult for him.

The corners of Xiu'er's mouth curled up as she asked, "Then ~ how did you write about me in the notice you gave the imperial city? Missing? Or did she just directly report her death? "

Kong Sheng's face did not look good. After a long while, he said, "I did not write about my death, it's bad luck. I wrote about my whereabouts and whereabouts, we are currently investigating."

The Xiu'er nodded her head thoughtfully. This was indeed hard to write, the letter and portrait of the Tiger King had become evidence, proving that she had entered the Moqiu Army camp not long ago. The only possibility left was a false report that she had died on the battlefield, or that she had been unaccounted for after breaking out of the siege. Kong Sheng did not want to divulge the lie of fighting to your death, but the only choice left was to be unable to locate your whereabouts.

Seeing that the Xiu'er did not say anything, Kong Sheng thought that she was focusing on something else, and immediately added, "I know your ability is impressive, but she is still the emperor. She has many experts by her side and brought over tens of thousands of troops, you will not have the chance to approach her ~"

Before he could finish her sentence, Xiu'er had already put a finger to his mouth and said with a smile, "I have never thought of assassinating that Her Majesty Yanrann before, I definitely won't do something as foolish as this."

"Oh ~ ~ Then what are you hesitating for?" Kong Sheng gently moved Xiu'er's finger away and suddenly made contact with the little girl's finger. His face unexpectedly flushed a little.

Xiu'er walked to the side of the city wall by herself, and looked at the Moqiu Army array in the distance as she said indifferently, "I know there are many questions, but I also have some results from this trip to the Moqiu State. The biggest gain is that I know some of the things about my life, about half of them. As for the other half, I also know a general idea, so I can't leave. Huo Yanrann wanted me to leave and wanted me to die, but I wanted to see her with my own eyes even more.

Hearing that, Kong Sheng was startled, then said: "You can slowly find out about the background's problems, but if you are not able to escape this calamity, then there will be no future."

Xiu'er shook her head slowly but firmly, "I can't leave. Other than to see Huo Yanrann, I'm also worried about you. If Moqiu Army were to really go all out and attack, do you really think that it's possible to defend against it? "

Kong Sheng did not say anything, he was the general of Phoenix City Pass, a person who truly understood the situation of the battle. In these few months, rather than saying that Moqiu Army was attacking the city, it would be more accurate to say that it was training the soldiers and eliminating others who were not their own. There was no need to talk too much about getting rid of the enemy. Their internal situation was not that easy to grasp, but it could be seen from the quality of their troops. Some troops would change after two matches and reorganize themselves, using actual combat to increase their combat strength. Other than giving battle results to the defending troops of Phoenix City, they really could not see how they were of any help in the battle. These were the typical ways to eliminate those who were different from them. It was impossible to say who among them was not going to deal with this matter, but the goal was clear, it was related to the issue of "splitting the meat" after breaking the Phoenix City Pass, no one wanted to share more with people they didn't like.

When it came to training soldiers, that was a big problem. Demonic Beast Soldier s appeared fewer and fewer times, but they worked with the ordinary soldiers more and more skillfully. In the past, Demonic Beast Soldier and ordinary soldiers could only go up like a swarm of bees. Their s relied on various mechanisms, crossbows, and the Fire Phoenix Knight s to withstand them. They also discovered many of their weaknesses during the battle, such as fear of fire, struggle for power, or being easily angered. In the battles that followed, the Phoenix City defenders began to use these weaknesses to deal with the Demonic Beast Soldier. The most common method they used was to ambush the kerosene beforehand, and then deliberately place the Demonic Beast Soldier at the top of the city wall. Afterwards, they would set a fire, and use flames to force the Demonic Beast Soldier together.

However, in the near future, the frequency of Demonic Beast Soldier would decrease, not because there were fewer of them, but because they had started to increase their teamwork. The Demonic Beast Soldier s did not fight alone, but hid behind the heavy armor Infantry soldiers. The surrounding light infantry soldiers held onto handheld crossbow s and wildly shot out, clearing a path for the heavy armor soldiers. When the heavy armor soldiers advanced to a certain stage, the Demonic Beast Soldier s suddenly rushed out, killing the Phoenix City guards who were completely focused on defending against the heavy armor soldiers. Then, the heavy armor Infantry soldiers advanced again and stood firmly at the base of the city wall. As they continued to advance forward in a circular fashion, the Phoenix City had lost more than half of the city's walls. If not for Kong Sheng and Ling Zilu bringing their two squads of Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms to attack from the front and back, the outer city wall would have been in great danger at the time.

After that, every time Demonic Beast Soldier appeared, they would have a new tactic to coordinate with it. Whether it was to attack from the front or to ambush and kill, regardless of whether it was a failure or a success, the use of Demonic Beast Soldier in Moqiu Army continued to improve as the war progressed. The last time she intercepted Xiu'er and the others, it was a typical cavalry unit and heavy armor infantry unit. If it wasn't for Kong Sheng who had experience and was sure that the Demonic Beast Soldier had set up a trap for them alone and had used the kerosene and torch to disperse them, the consequences would have been hard to imagine.

Thinking about all these, and thinking about what might happen in the future, Kong Sheng really didn't dare to think about it any further. Disregarding the number of siege equipment that had been amassed in the Moqiu Army, and how much improvement their soldiers had made in the recent period of time, just using a sea of people to attack the city, and then using the cooperation of Demonic Beast Soldier and heavy armor s to advance, this move would definitely give a headache to all the Phoenix City Pass soldiers. Although there were kerosene s and heavy crossbows, they were all dead and someone had to use them. The handheld crossbow in Moqiu Soldier's hands were no joke. It could pierce through someone a hundred or twenty meters away. At this distance, no matter how many kerosene there were, it was useless.

So when Xiu'er asked Kong Sheng if he could hold on, he didn't know how to reply. Right now, there was only one way left to him, and that was to rely on others to fill in the form. He could only hope that the Imperial City's reinforcements would arrive soon and help Phoenix City Pass defeat the enemy. However, at that time, it would be hard to say if he would survive or not.

Thinking up to here, Kong Sheng changed the topic: "Then you won't be of much help staying. After all, you're just a single person."

Xiu'er smiled sweetly, "If it really comes to that, although I won't be able to fend off the army by myself, I can at least bring you along with me." Although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning behind "at that time" couldn't be any clearer.

Kong Sheng shook his head: "I am the commander of Phoenix City Pass, I cannot leave, even if it is broken through, I must stay. The people are locked up, the people are dead, the people are dead. "

Hearing his words, the Xiu'er gently shook his head. He looked at Kong Sheng and said indifferently, "Do you really not want to know what the relationship is between the two of us? From the very beginning, he had felt that the other party was very friendly. However, he could not say what it was. It was trust, unconditional trust. Later on, I found out that there is a relationship called bloodlines, the bloodlines between relatives and the inherited bloodlines. Then what are we? I want to know, I really want to know, you are a very special existence in my life, I want to know why. "

Kong Sheng did not say anything, but his heart was conflicted. To him, wasn't the Xiu'er the one that was special as well? However, he was different from the Xiu'er. He felt a kind of guilt because Kong Sheng was very clear how similar that feeling of familiarity was to the one he felt back then. It was also precisely because of this that he purposely kept his distance from the Xiu'er. When the two of them came back from the imperial city, Zhao Handong and Ling Zilu had hinted at him more than once. Firstly, Ye Qing had already disappeared, and after not being able to find him for two or three years, her chances of surviving were extremely slim. Now that Kong Sheng had married again, other people wouldn't be able to say anything either. Secondly, Kong Sheng had to keep a descendant for himself. He was a soldier, and an only son, so war was on the line.

Kong Sheng had firmly rejected this suggestion at that time. He said that he could not have the thought of returning the favor, and it was now related to the survival of the Phoenix City Pass, and he could not allow others to mock him for the love of his children. In fact, he knew that his feelings for the Xiu'er were similar to Ye Qing's, but different. It wasn't just a feeling of being in love, but more like family.

If he used Ye Qing as an example, it would mean that his feelings towards the Xiu'er right now was more like the feeling after being married to Ye Qing. It would be less passionate, more dull, less fanatical, and more stable.

This feeling made Kong Sheng feel very strange. He couldn't describe it himself, and didn't know how to do it, so he decided to stop mentioning it and focus on preparing for battle. Not long after that, Kong Sheng was injured, and his Xiu'er was robbed and imprisoned. Three hundred lonely soldiers of the Apprentice Knight rushed into the Moqiu State.

Seeing that Kong Sheng did not answer, the Xiu'er also did not speak anymore, and the two sunk into an awkward silence.

After a while, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the distance. The sound was soft and gentle, unlike the hurried voice of the city guards. Xiu'er and Kong Sheng turned their heads at the same time, and they saw that it was a woman.

This woman was dressed in beautiful clothing. Her hair was tied up high and tied into an extremely gorgeous hairpin. Her face was white and her skin was exquisite. She wore an extremely sexy jacket that revealed two round shoulders. The lower half of her body was wearing a similarly gorgeous long skirt. The skirt reached her ankles, revealing the embroidered shoes beneath her feet. She wore a faint smile on her face and walked at a leisurely pace. She didn't look like she was walking on the city walls, but more like she was participating in a lavish feast.

"It's you?"

"Madame Fu?"

Xiu'er and Kong Sheng shouted out at almost the same time, and then looked at each other at the same time, saying at the same time once again, "You know her too?"

They all knew this woman, and Kong Sheng had met this Madame Fu on his way to the imperial city. At that time, she told Kong Sheng that it was an extremely bad luck to be going there, and as expected, Kong Sheng almost dropped his head. But Xiu'er had seen her within the Wulian Mountain Range. At that time, she did not say her name, and only wished that Xiu'er would be victorious in the beginning, and did not say anything else. Thinking about it, Xiu'er remembered that this Madame Fu seemed to have mentioned that she had met Kong Sheng once before.

Now, this mysterious Madame Fu had suddenly appeared on top of the walls of the Phoenix City Pass. There was no one at this part of the wall, but both sides were guarded by soldiers. So how did she get up there?

At this time, Madame Fu had already leisurely walked in front of the two of them. With a smile, he bowed towards them and greeted, "Greetings, Lord Kong and Lady Xiu."

"Blessed ~ ~ Madame Fu, may I know the purpose of your visit?" Facing such a woman, Kong Sheng still maintained the greatest degree of courtesy.

Madame Fu smiled slightly: "The reason I'm here today is for Lady Xiu’er."

"I wonder what is Madame Fu looking for me for?" Xiu'er frowned and asked.

The smile on Madame Fu's face did not change, "I would like to invite Lady Xiu’er to stay at my cold house for a few days.

"Good!" No problem! "I agree!" Kong Sheng answered first. He knew that this Madame Fu had a mysterious background and did not intend to harm others. It should not be a bad thing to send him over to her place. Furthermore, in such a magnificent army, the Xiu'er's power was like a drop in the bucket. But in such a small world, she was practically invincible, and there was no need to worry about her safety.

"No way!" Xiu'er flatly rejected her idea, and then slightly nodded her head and apologized to Madame Fu, "Sorry, Phoenix City Pass is in danger from all sides, Xiu'er really doesn't dare to leave."

Madame Fu seemed to have long predicted Xiu'er's attitude. She wore that seemingly eternally unchanging smile on her face, and said to Kong Sheng and Xiu'er: "Inviting Lady Xiu’er to go was naturally not a waste of time. I also prepared a present for you." As she spoke till here, she paused for a moment before continuing, "This humble one has a good method that can help Phoenix City Pass completely remove the danger to Demonic Beast Soldier. I have used this method to invite Lady Xiu’er to my humble abode. I wonder what you two are thinking? "
