Outside East Peace City.

Xiao Tian Yuan personally led a group of people to ambush the reserves outside the city. Fang Zinan brought Dongfang Liu-Li and shouted at the people of the city.

The soldiers were shouting towards the city, "Rebels in the city, listen up. We are the justice division of the Southern Marsh Country, we have helped King Dongyu pacify the rebellion. Right now, the army has already surrounded Eastern Ning City. If you don't want to die in vain, quickly surrender."

Dongfang Liuli looked at the tightly shut city gate and asked worriedly: "Great General, do you think General Xiao will succeed?"

"General Xiao has been in the battlefield for a long time, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to get rid of the reserve troops. We need to think of a way to evacuate the civilians in the city. We can't let the civilians face the danger of war again." Last night, King Dongyu had already emphasized this point, and Fang Zinan also didn't want the commoners to suffer any more harm.

"That's not good, right? I will personally shout out to the city guards and the commoners." Dong Fang Luoluo thought for a moment. "The city guards were bewitched and betrayed by the Grand Preceptor, while father is highly loved by the commoners. If I were to personally shout it, perhaps the results would be better."

Fang Zinan shook his head. "Even so, I'm afraid that it's too dangerous. There's no need for me to risk the Princess's life."

"It should be fine." As Dong Fang Luo Li spoke, she went out of the city and Fang Zi Nan followed closely, worried.

"Listen up, I am Princess Liu Li. If you open the gates and surrender, I can guarantee everyone's safety." Dong Fang Luo Li shouted twice and saw that there was no movement from the city gate tower.

Fang Zinan looked at the tower, then looked at Dong Fang Luo Li, and suddenly felt uneasy. Could something dangerous have happened? When he thought here, before he could say anything, he suddenly saw two rows of arrows set up on top of the city gate tower, aimed at Dong Fang Li Li.

Fang Zinan was shocked. "Be careful!" He hurriedly went to protect Princess Liu Li.

Dong Fang Luo Li was stupefied. She never expected that the rebel army in the city would attack her. When she reacted to that, arrows flew out like shooting stars, making "shua shua" sounds.

Fang Zinan swung his long sword to smash the arrow while shouting, "Princess, run!"

Dongfang Luoyu finally reacted, and he and Fang Zinan started to walk while retreating, but there were too many arrows. With Dongfang Luoyu's martial arts, dealing with these arrows was already rather difficult, and Fang Zinan was even more flustered in order to protect her. He only had one thought in his mind: You must not let Princess Liu-Li be harmed!

While the two of them were retreating, Fang Zinan moved gracefully as if he was flying. While he was saving himself, he suddenly heard Dongfang Luoli cry out with a pale face: "Ai!"

Seeing that an arrow was about to hit him, Fang Zinan was shocked. He waved the arrow to cut it down, but unexpectedly, there was an arrow in the middle of his left arm. "General! Are you hurt?"

"Quickly run …" Fang Zinan said this, but he didn't panic. He used his usual calm demeanor to protect Dong Fang Luo Li as she quickly retreated.

By the time he had retreated into the army, there were already many soldiers who came forward to greet him. Fang Zinan's left arm was already dyed red with blood.

"General, are you alright?" Dong Fang Luo Li asked nervously.

Fang Zinan shook his head: "It's nothing." He raised his eyes to look at the city walls. He really did not expect the rebel army in Dongning City to be so stubborn that they did not even have the slightest intention to surrender. Instead, they wanted to put Princess Liu Li to death.

"I'll bandage your wound." Dong Fang Luo Li took out the Golden Sore Medicine from her chest pocket.

"There's no need to rush. It seems like the Garrison Army in East Peace City has already been prepared. I'm afraid that General Xiao is also in danger. We should first retreat five kilometers before making our plans." Fang Zinan commanded the army, "Quickly retreat five miles away from this place."

After the army had retreated five miles, Fang Zinan was finally relieved. He looked at the situation and asked: "Where is General Hai?"

"This lowly general is here." Hai Yue went up to receive the order.

"Quickly lead a group of people to deal with General Xiao. You must bring General Xiao's seat belt back to see me." Fang Zinan ordered.

Hai Yue gave the order and left.

Fang Zinan lowered his head and looked at the arrow wound.

Dong Fang Luo Li stepped forward and said: "I'll pull the arrow out for you, bear with the pain!"

Fang Zinan nodded, "Make your move."

He stepped forward and grabbed the arrow. Dong Fang Luo Liu glanced at Fang Zi Nan, gritted his teeth, and steeled his heart. Then, he pulled out the arrow with all his might.

Fang Zinan's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. His thin lips were tightly pursed, but he still didn't let out a sound. Dong Fang Luo Li quickly stopped his work, applied medicine, bandaged him, and moved skillfully. This familiar action made Fang Zi Nan's heart enter a trance, as if Shang Yi Qing was beside him.

"Alright!" Dong Fang Luo Li carefully helped Fang Zi Nan put down his sleeves, and said: "General, thank you so much for saving me today."

Only then did Fang Zinan come back to his senses, and with a comforting smile he said, "Princess is too polite." You shouldn't have let the princess take the risk today. The responsibility is not on the princess, it's on me. "

"It's not like this … "No one expected the garrison to listen to the Grand Preceptor's words. Even I didn't think they'd shoot arrows?"

Fang Zinan sighed and withdrew his thoughts, "I am only worried for General Xiao now! Maybe there was an accident at the garrison too. "

At this time, the troops that had returned from Dongning City had set up camp once again. Fang Zinan stood outside the tent, his mood increasingly unsettled. There was still no news of Xiao Tian Yuan, did something really happen?

While Fang Zinan was thinking about this question, his expression was also faint, and there was still a trace of gloominess between his brows. Dong Fang Luo Li looked at him like this, and when he recalled the scene of him risking his life to save her, he couldn't help but blush and feel hot. Moreover, the heat from his face instantly spread to his entire body.

Wuqiong Zhong glanced at Dong Fang Luo Li, and Fang Zi Nan couldn't help but ask: "Princess, what's wrong? Is he injured? "

"That's not it …" Dong Fang Luo Li shook her head in panic. "I was still a little afraid when I thought about it, but I never thought that the soldiers in Eastcalm City would listen to the Grand Preceptor."

"That's what I'm worried about." "The armies in the city all listen to the Grand Preceptor," Fang Zinan said in a low voice. "The remaining soldiers of Beiyue still have considerable strength despite the army repelling us. They can come back to support the Grand Preceptor at any time, just in case we don't easily defeat the enemy."

As they spoke, they saw Dongfang Ming walking this way. There was a hint of panic on his face as he said, "The general is injured? How about it? Is it heavy? "

"Does royal father not believe in my daughter's medical skills?" Dong Fang Luo Li pretended to say in a relaxed manner.

"Father doesn't mean that." Dongfang Ming said, "Father is only worried about the safety of the Great General."

Fang Zinan smiled lightly: "Thank you for your concern, King Dongyu. The princess has already treated my wounds." He paused for a moment before continuing, "We've sent people to scout the military, but there's no progress. The garrison troops of Dongning City are also disrespectful to the princess. I'm very worried that General Xiao might be in danger …" "It seems the army in Dongning City isn't as weak as we thought. It seems this battle will be much more difficult!"

"The Great General is right!" We have to think things over. " He originally thought that he could see Dongning City back in the future, but he didn't expect that the city was so well-fortified. Dongfang Ming was deeply worried.

Dong Fang Luo Li saw the situation and comforted everyone: "Don't say that, maybe General Xiao already took care of the reserves, so our worries are unnecessary. Furthermore, General Xiao has been through many battles, so he must be very experienced in dealing with enemies. Let's wait for his good news. "

Fang Zinan nodded, "Now we can only wait for General Xiao's news." Saying so, he let out another long sigh.
