The continuous bombardment of flyers and steamed buns, powerful propaganda, and actual bribery quickly stirred up the entire Jin State, and the morale of the army was greatly shaken. No matter how strict Hu He's orders were, the soldiers and civilians were not allowed to read flyers or eat steamed buns. It was difficult to control the situation. He could not read the flyers, but how could he not eat such a good steamed bun? The more people ate, the more people saw the note inside. Their understanding of the situation made the soldiers and generals who were already wavering even more anxious. Who was willing to drag their entire family to their deaths? An arm couldn't win against a thigh. Since he didn't resist, the court wouldn't pursue the matter. It was better to surrender as soon as possible. As the situation changed, many merchants and soldiers began to secretly contact generals and soldiers who wanted to surrender. While Hu He was cursing at the top of the city wall, there was already an undercurrent in Pingjin City, and the betrayal was imminent.
In the evening, the soldiers stationed outside the city were ready to defend against a sneak attack. Those officials who were used to being pampered had never written so many words before. They had long returned to their respective tents in exhaustion and moaned.
The soldiers felt that fighting like this was new. Li Yi was easy-going and did not have so many unreasonable strict orders. Everyone gathered around the bonfire, eating their rations and chatting and laughing.
As they laughed and laughed, the Li family's personal guards and the soldiers of Taihe Prefecture began to fight. They started fighting in the arena. Among the soldiers of Taihe Prefecture, there were some who were good at martial arts. They wielded their military staffs like dragons going out to sea or snakes spitting out their cores. Strong winds blew in all directions, causing sand and stones to gallop about. They came in a menacing manner, causing thousands of people to cheer.
Nighthawk drank some water and nudged Ouyang Bo. He smiled and stood up with his sword in hand. With a clang, the sword was unsheathed. Silver flowers fell like meteors, fireworks blossomed, and cold air assaulted people. His entire person was in the silver splendor of the sword flower, looking handsome and imposing. The wonderful performance was an eye-opener for these soldiers. They sighed and even forgot to applaud.
He turned around and stood still. He sheathed his sword and looked at Li Yi deeply, like a child who was in a hurry to be praised. Li Yi could not help but laugh. He took the lead in clapping, and cheers followed.
The soldiers of Taihe Prefecture were somewhat unconvinced. They whispered a few words to each other and two large soldiers stood up. They looked like they were from a minority race. She walked to the bonfire and started singing. This song was a custom of their ethnic minorities, and it was as important as a martial arts competition.
"We live in the same village, and the road is long. One day the mountains and rivers will change, I hope two villages will become one village.”
After one of the soldiers finished singing, he laughed and looked at Nighthawk and the others provocatively. Another soldier continued to sing.
"Birds that can fly are not afraid of heights, and lovers are not afraid of knives. In order to form a pair of lovebirds, they would die together.”
"Good!" The soldiers of Taihe Prefecture cheered loudly and gave off an oppressive aura.
Nighthawk's face turned green. If it was a battle, it was fine, but why did he bring Saige? Looking around, the Li family's personal guards were really stumped. They lowered their heads and met the Nighthawks 'eyes. They smiled more beautifully than they cried and shook their heads tightly.
When had Ye Xiaoxiao ever suffered such a loss? He gritted his teeth and looked at Ouyang Bo. This time, Young Hero Ouyang was out of battery. He spread his hands and had a helpless expression. She was shouting,"Brother, I really can't do this."”
Li Yi smiled. He could not compete with her, but Saige had bumped into the muzzle of her gun. With his competitive spirit, he directly started singing among the bodyguards.
"The world of mortals is so ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring
It's good to be arrogant about everything, but this life is not over
But my heart is not disturbed
I just want to be free for half my life
I smile at people when I'm awake, and forget everything in my dreams
I sigh that the sky has turned dark too early, and the next life is unpredictable
Love and hate written off
I only wish to be happy until old age
The wind is cold, I don't want to escape
No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they don't want to let me sway
The higher the sky, the smaller the heart
I don't ask how much karma I have, I get drunk alone
Today is bitter, tomorrow is laughing, I don't ask for someone to understand
With pride, singing and dancing
The night is long, but I don't notice the dawn. I'll look for happiness."
When the song stopped, everyone was still immersed in the song, looking at this unique vanguard commander. Li Yi had given the Li family's trusted soldiers face, and Nighthawk was also energized. Good!"
The two soldiers from Saige looked at each other in admiration. They respectfully came in front of Li Yi and bowed to express their admiration.
Li Yi quickly stood up and helped the two of them up. In fact, she felt that the folk songs sung by the two of them were simple and sincere, and they were even more moving. Especially that sentence," To pair up lovebirds, we live together and die together.”Life and death together was true love. However, he could never do it. He believed that as long as people were alive, they would always find happiness.
Applause and cheers filled the air. Li Yi looked up and saw Ma Zhiyao standing in the dark watching the commotion. He saw Ma Zhiyao nod at him as if he had something to say.
She walked over alone and said with a smile,"Lord Ma hasn't rested yet. I've made you tired today."”
Ma Zhiyao respectfully said,"Thank you for your care, sir. I only moved my mouth and didn't get tired." This old man has specially come to thank you.”
"Thank me?" Li Yi was confused. Just because he had arranged a light job for him? He wasn't the kind of person who would be happy just because he took advantage of a small advantage. It was precisely because she knew the nature of these officials under her that she deliberately let the hardworking Ma Zhiyao be the supervisor. Firstly, he was a serious person and wouldn't let the officials slack off. Secondly, she also wanted to teach those fence-sitters a lesson. Didn't they like to chew on words and gossip? This time, he would let them use their strengths and write as much as they wanted.
"My Ma family has been loyal for generations, leaving only my grandson's bloodline. Daren took the risk and led people to lure the pursuers away, allowing us to safely pass through the Ghost Forest. This old man is extremely grateful. I didn't expect you to be so kind. Not only did you save my family from the tiger's mouth, but you also informed your good friend to treat my grandson and save my grandson's life. This old man will repay your kindness even if I have to tie a knot of grass and a ring.”
Li Yi held Ma Zhiyao, who was about to kneel down, and was even more confused.”
Ma Zhiyao's eyes were burning." As soon as we arrived at Taihe Prefecture, someone came to pick up my grandson. He said that it was arranged by the Lord. The person claimed to be a good friend of the Lord with the surname Sun. He said that he was entrusted by the Lord to pick up my grandson for treatment. Daren's friend is indeed highly skilled in medicine. In just a day and a night, my grandson came back alive and kicking.”
Sun! Sun Zhiyang? It could only be him, but why? He had clearly rejected him. How could a person who valued benefits so much be so kind as to treat Lord Ma's grandson for no reason? Was it because of him? Li Yi looked in the direction of Pingjin City in confusion. The night enveloped the land, and there was only darkness in front of him. He could not hear what Ma Zhiyao said. After casually dealing with it, Ma Zhiyao thanked him profusely and returned to his tent. Li Yi breathed in the slightly cold air alone, unable to read his own mind. She had always warned herself that Sun Zhiyang could not be trusted. Did she really hate him, or was it because of her past experiences that made her prejudiced against smart men? Out of self-protection, she had always wanted to escape. The more overbearing he was, the more he wanted to get close to her, and the more she wanted to escape. Was she escaping from him or escaping from herself?
She was actually a selfish and despicable person. On one hand, she avoided his feelings, and on the other hand, she took advantage of his good impression of her to accept his help. Even if she felt that it would be unrealistic to break the gold balance tomorrow, she would still believe him and guarantee it in front of the Crown Prince.
What was he doing now? Because he was in a hurry to return to the capital, he tried to help him resolve the matter in Pingjin State. What was happening in the impregnable Pingjin Prefecture on such a quiet night? Sun Zhiyang couldn't open the gate of Pingjin State from the outside, so how could he open the gap from the inside?
"What are you thinking about?" Ouyang Bo walked to her side and looked in the direction she was looking at.
"Look at Pinkin, see what's going on inside.”
Ouyang Bo looked at it seriously." You can see that far? Wouldn't that make him a god?"
God? If there really were immortals in the world, then there would be reincarnation and karma. Would there be retribution for using Sun Zhiyang this time?
The next day, the sky was still filled with flyers. Catapults, catapults, and bags of steamed buns were thrown into Pingjin City. Hu He's soldiers were no longer holding their guns in a dignified manner. Other than a few standing guard, most of them were busy transporting the steamed buns.
In the evening, Li Yi ordered all the soldiers to be ready to attack the city at any time.
At the second watch, flames suddenly lit up the sky within Pingjin State. The cries of battle shook the sky, and the entire Pingjin State fell into chaos. Li Yi led the soldiers to watch from outside the flat gold, not daring to move.
At the third watch, the north gate of Pingjin State was opened. All the soldiers of Pingjin State had no weapons in their hands and lined up to meet him. They bowed to the Prefecture Overseer of Pingjin Prefecture, Li Yi, and surrendered. Another Thousand Households came to Li Yi's horse with a head in his hand. Li Yi did not dare to look at such a bloody thing. He glanced at it and saw that it was really Hu He's head. His eyes were filled with anger as he died with grievances.
Li Yi successfully recovered Pingjin State, and the Pingjin officials returned to the yamen to deal with official matters. Li Yi ordered his men to search through Pingjin State, but they could not find Bai Zhentang, who wanted to kill her. He roughly understood the situation. Someone had really secretly contacted some generals and soldiers to start an uprising and fight with Hu He's trusted aides. During the chaotic battle, a man wearing a black mask appeared and killed Hu He, causing the warlike faction to suffer a crushing defeat.
Li Yi let out a long breath and found an excuse. He brought Ouyang Bo to a remote room and changed his clothes. Taking advantage of the darkness and the chaos in Pinkin, the two of them galloped into the woods from the west gate.
There was only a small path in the boundless white birch forest. The leaves and branches were swaying, and the cries of unknown birds and insects were desolate and ear-piercing. The dark forest was eerie, making people shudder. It was as if countless ghosts were hiding in it. Two forks suddenly appeared in front of them. One led to the flat road, and the other led to Nanzhao Mountain.
Ouyang Bo suddenly turned his horse around." This way!”
Li Yi was stunned,"Ouyang, why are you going up the mountain?"”
"Someone is chasing us from behind. It's easier to hide up the mountain.”
"But I didn't hear anything.”
"There are about a dozen people, all of them are experts.”
