#282 - Marry in the next life

South of Yuanzhou City, Meishan Mountain.

As the only high ground outside Yuanzhou City, Meishan Mountain, with a circumference of only a dozen miles, was originally firmly occupied by the Da Feng army. However, since the main force of Da Ning withdrew, the team left behind to guard the mountain also mostly moved down the mountain, leaving only a few scouts on the mountain to be on guard.

At this time, a dozen men in black were standing on a cliff in Meishan Mountain facing Yuanzhou City, overlooking the huge city with billowing smoke ten miles away.

Without a doubt, it was Wei Changtian and his party.

This time, Wei Changtian only brought Chu Xianping, You Jia, and a dozen experts from the Gongji Society to Yuanzhou to rescue people.

As for Qin Zhengqiu, the "gold medal fighter" who had been following him around, he didn't come.

After all, this time they were facing a formal army. Once discovered, having one more second-rank or one less second-rank wouldn't make much difference.

In addition, the Tianluo Sect was still in the reconstruction stage, which was the most vulnerable moment to be taken advantage of by the "famous and upright sects", so Wei Changtian didn't tell Qin Zhengqiu about this matter at all.

“.

"Young Master, it might be difficult to enter the city."

Looking at the dense military tents at his feet, which surrounded Yuanzhou City, Chu Xianping frowned and analyzed, "Now, we can only find a few sets of Da Feng soldiers' clothes and blend in to find an opportunity."

"That would be too late."

Wei Changtian shook his head, not quite agreeing with this plan.

As for how to enter the city in this situation...

"You guys stay on Meishan Mountain to respond. I have my own way to get in."

Retracting his gaze, Wei Changtian turned to look at everyone: "Pay attention to hiding your tracks. This is not a small fight. Once discovered by the Da Feng army, it will be a disaster, so there must be no slightest mistake."

"Brother Chu, you should arrange an escape route in advance. When I rescue Uncle Liang and the others, I will notify you by burning jade, and then come here to meet you."

"If you encounter unexpected situations, adapt accordingly. In short, I don't want to lose anyone when I return to Shuzhou."

“.

After Wei Changtian finished explaining in a few words, Chu Xianping and the others from the Gongji Society didn't ask any further questions as usual, even though they didn't understand how he would enter the city. They just nodded to show they understood.

However, a trace of worry suddenly appeared on You Jia's face, and she hurriedly requested: "Young Master, I will go with you!"

"I can only go in alone. I can't take you with me."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "Just wait for me here."

"But it's too dangerous!"

You Jia said anxiously: "We don't know anything about the situation in Yuanzhou City right now. Even if we catch a few Da Feng soldiers to inquire about information first, it would be better!"

"It's too late."

Wei Changtian sighed softly and looked at Yuanzhou City again from afar.

"Four days have passed. Even if the city hasn't been breached yet, the defending soldiers in the city must already be at the end of their rope."

"I'm afraid it will be in vain if we delay any longer."

"But..."

You Jia took two steps forward to Wei Changtian's side, and was about to say something when the latter interrupted with a smile: "Okay, I know what I'm doing."

"Don't worry."

“.

The wind by the cliff was not strong, but the sound was particularly loud, like a monster roaring.

You Jia bit her lip, and a few strands of hair were blown around her ears by the wind. After a long silence, she finally didn't persuade him any further, but just lowered her head and whispered.

"Young Master, you must come back safely."

"Sister Xu, Xu is still waiting for you at home..."

"Hahaha, I know."

Wei Changtian laughed twice and replied casually: "I cherish my life very much. Besides, even for you, I won't take risks."

"For...us?"

You Jia was stunned when she heard this, and then suddenly looked up.

However, Wei Changtian's figure was no longer in sight, only the whistling of the mountain wind remained.

[Avoidance Talisman: One-time item, use when no one is watching. After use, it can hide the user's figure and aura. This effect lasts for 60 minutes, 300 points]

Remaining system points: 2530.

Da Feng military camp, a few shallowly buried green grasses suddenly swayed without wind, as if something had just swept over them.

However, such a subtle abnormality was destined not to be noticed, only a few warhorses that were eating suddenly turned their heads to look at a certain place, and then turned their heads back and continued to nibble on the fodder.

Groups of black-armored soldiers shuttled through the military camp, making preparations for the final attack.

Wei Changtian went straight to Yuanzhou City ahead without any hindrance, while Liang Zhen and Liang Qin, who were in the city at this time, knew nothing about it.

“.

"Qin'er, father has already arranged a hiding place for you in the city."

"I will personally take you there later... You must remember that no matter what happens tonight, do not come out."

The setting sun had completely disappeared below the horizon, and Liang Zhen had also made a decision.

No matter how angry or disheartened he was, he still couldn't do something like Wen Wen to betray the country.

Da Ning could let him down, but he must never let Da Ning down.

Even if his and the Shuzhou army's death might be meaningless.

"Father!"

Liang Qin, who already understood everything, suddenly cried and threw herself into Liang Zhen's arms.

"I won't hide! Wuwuwu, I don't want to live in shame!"

She didn't advise Liang Zhen to disarm and surrender, nor did she advise Liang Zhen to hide with her.

The Liang family has been generals for generations, and "loyalty" is a word engraved in their bones.

So Liang Qin, like Liang Zhen at this moment, only seeks to die on the battlefield.

The extremely sad but extremely firm crying echoed in the house for a long time.

Looking at his daughter in his arms, Liang Zhen rarely showed a trace of tenderness.

As a general, he naturally understood what Liang Qin was thinking.

But as a father, he couldn't bear to let Liang Qin die in this war-torn foreign land.

Knowing his daughter's personality, he knew that it was useless to say anything else at this time, except...

"Qin'er, Changtian is still waiting for you in Shuzhou."

"Aren't you still going to marry him?"

“.

As expected.

When Liang Zhen took out Wei Changtian, this "big killer", the crying in the house finally stopped slowly.

"I, I..."

Liang Qin raised her head with tears in her eyes, with an expression of incomparable struggle on her face.

Yes, if she died, she would have no chance to see Brother Changtian again.

But...

On one side was the loyalty to the country that she had been influenced by since childhood.

On the other side was the desire to marry the man she loved.

When the two inevitably needed to be chosen between at this moment, the scales in Liang Qin's heart tilted back and forth several times, and finally fell heavily to one side.

"Father!"

"I am willing to marry Brother Changtian in the next life!"
