Li Chengqian, on the city wall, watched Cui Wang walk out of the city gate, and soon after, he was "catched" by a team of knights coming up, and his heart couldn't help but get up. During this period, he had a good impression of Cui Wang. Because Cui Wang is as old-fashioned as Kong Yingda and others, he will not be stubborn. He will say everything he wants to say, and in the end he is willing to obey orders.

Li Chengqian likes such people and even thought in his heart that if he had the chance, it would be nice to get him to work in the East Palace.

Two miles away, Cui Wang looked back at Li Chengqian, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the seeds that had been planted for many years were finally time to harvest.

...

But Li Siwen was in a particularly good mood today because his miserable days were finally over.

The eldest brother is worthy of being the eldest brother. He can do anything he can't imagine or something he dares to think of. Li Siwen is very happy. He likes this kind of life that is huddled under Li Mu's wings. He doesn't need to face things that he can't do. He just needs to complete what Li Mu told him and wait for success.

Li Siwen once thought that he was not a mediocre person. A real man should raise the three-foot Qingfeng and make unparalleled achievements. However, as he grew older, he gradually realized that not everyone could lift the sword, nor did everyone have the opportunity to make unparalleled achievements. The most important thing for people to live in this world is to be ‘useful’. Isn’t it great to provide some help when they can make unparalleled achievements for others?

The battle was finally over. In just two or three months, the elder brother miraculously defeated the Turks and pacified Xue Yantuo... From now on, there will be no threat to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. The court should have built a Protectorate... Li Siwen thought to himself that if the court established a Protectorate of the Western Regions, it would be best to move the Prince of Hejian, so that Dingxiang City would be his again.

Li Siwen had a special relationship with Dingxiang City. This is his home, and this city is also his child. Li Siwen has made up his mind to stay in this city for the rest of his life and never go anywhere.

In the future, if the Western Regions are pacified, Dingxiang's "portal" will become more and more powerful. He has already been preparing to expand the new city. Therefore, he would walk around the city wall almost every day, thinking in his mind what to build in the future, where to build, how to design, etc.

The soldiers guarding the city were no longer surprised and would not disturb him.

Li Siwen walked swaying to the west wall. Just as he was about to go up to the top of the city, a single arm suddenly appeared in front of him. Li Siwen was shocked. He smiled speechlessly, saw the arm in front of him clearly, and said, "I have really seen it today. Is there anyone who dares to stop me in Dingxiang City?" He raised his head, looked at the owner of his arm, and cursed, "Who are you? Don't recognize me?"

Although Li Siwen was extremely docile in front of Li Mu, he was still the playboy young master in the past. Dingxiang was the city he built and also the fief given to him by Li Shimin. He was equivalent to the local emperor here. Even Li Xiaogong had to give him three points here. How could he allow his majesty to be violated?

However, today he encountered a thorn. The man said coldly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is on the top of the city, and the idle people are waiting, so you can't go there."

"Hey!" Li Siwen laughed furiously, pointed to the guard's nose and cursed: "Who gave you the courage to rely on others' power? What's wrong with the prince at the top of the city? Don't say that you are a guard, even if the prince is in front of me, you have to call Brother Wen, please dodge me!"

Canglang!

What greeted him was the cold sword.

"Back back and come over again, don't blame me for being polite." The guard said seriously.

Do the guards recognize Li Siwen? Of course, they know him. If he doesn't know him, he will not stop him like this. He is Cui Wang's confidant, and stays here just to wait for Cui Wang's signal and then control Li Chengqian. If Li Siwen and Li Chengqian are together, there will be variables.

Therefore, he must not let Li Siwen and Li Chengqian meet.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Siwen was also a stubborn temper. He was Li Mu's brother, what's wrong with the prince? Didn't he be an emperor? Then don't show off in front of me! What's more, Li Siwen felt very strange. If you want to show off, Li Chengqian never showed off. When the two of them were together these days, Li Chengqian called Wen Brother Wen and never talked about his identity. Why did he suddenly put on airs today?

Thinking of this, Li Siwen shouted and shouted, "Your Highness, what are you doing on the top of the city? If I have something to ask you, you guard will not let me go up!"

When Li Chengqian heard the voice, he poked his head out of the chassis and said, "What's going on? Why don't I let my brother Wen come up? Who, get out of the way, let my brother Wen come over!"

The guard showed hesitation on his face. According to his duties, he could not refuse the prince's request. However, if Li Siwen was asked to pass, it would probably ruin Cui Wang's affairs. He looked west and there was still no signal. Li Siwen felt more and more strange, and his heart moved, saying, "I can't go up!" As he said that, he retreated.

Seeing that Li Siwen was strange and knew that the matter might have been exposed, the guard grabbed his arm and said, "You might as well go up, come, I'll send you to the top of the city!"

"Let me go!" Li Siwen was in pain, but he didn't understand what was going on. He bit the guard's arm. When he was in pain, he turned his head and ran away, and shouted, "Your Highness, this guard is strange, you can run away!"

"What?" Li Chengqian didn't hear it clearly, or even heard it clearly, and didn't understand what it meant. At this moment, he saw the guard below throwing out the sword in his hand and heading straight for Li Siwen's heart.

No matter how stupid Li Chengqian was, he knew something was wrong. He drew his sword and was about to move, several guards ran up and surrounded him. They all faced each other. Li Chengqian was calm and said, "Who are you? Don't know who Gu is? He did such a traitor?"

"Your Highness, you offended me!" The guard drew out his sword and was about to bully him.

At this time, Li Siwen's shout came from under the city wall: "Prince, don't be afraid, my wife is here, hold on for a while, my wife will save you!"

Li Siwen was talking about his wife Qin Huaiyu. As Qin Qiong's daughter, Qin Huaiyu was deeply educated by her father. Just now she heard Li Siwen's cry and rushed over. At the critical moment, she threw out the whip in her hand and knocked the sword thrown by the guards. One second later, Li Siwen died.

Qin Huaiyu ran towards the city wall, and Li Siwen shouted and looked for someone. On the city wall, five guards had already forced Li Chengqian to the corner.

Although Li Chengqian is diligent in martial arts on weekdays, his level is difficult to deal with a guard. These five guards cooperate with each other and have a good manner. If they were not for the other party's desire to catch a living, Li Chengqian would probably be dead now.

"Who are you? Are you Cui Wang's guards? What does Cui Wang want to do? Does he want to kill the regency?"

The guards did not answer and just came up to catch people. Qin Huaiyu had already climbed to the top of the city, but he was still thirty or forty meters away from Li Chengqian. At this distance, the guards must have caught Li Chengqian first.

"You traitors, you want to capture me, right?" Li Chengqian also understood the other party's intention at this time. He spat, jumped onto the pile, and laughed loudly: "I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. How can I be captured by others? I delusion!"

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he jumped and jumped down from the city wall that was dozens of meters away.

Li Siwen watched Li Chengqian jump down, and was so scared that he was stunned. He rushed over and wanted to use him as a meat pad for Li Chengqian, but it was still too late. Li Chengqian fell down straight and disappeared in an instant.

Qin Huaiyu was furious and threw out the whip in his hand and hit the five guards. The prince's guards whom Li Siwen called also arrived. Seeing that there was no way to survive, the five guards were quick and neat, they pulled out daggers and wiped their necks one by one. Blood flowed out, and it was obvious that they could not survive.

Li Siwen rushed to Li Chengqian's side, and his limbs were stiff. He reached out to try Li Chengqian's breath, and his two fingers were inserted into Li Chengqian's nostrils.

"Don't die. If you die, I will die too..." Li Siwen's voice was already in tears. A faint breathing sensation came from his fingers. Li Siwen let out a long sigh and tears came out: "It's great, I'm not dead..." Before he could be happy, he suddenly saw that Li Chengqian's legs were folded at a strange angle and immediately shouted: "Hurry, call the doctor!"

At this moment, a few firecrackers suddenly sounded in the sky. Immediately afterwards, the earth was trembling, and Qin Huaiyu shouted on the city wall: "Husband, the enemy outside the city is here to attack the city!"

"Everyone, the enemy attacks the city, hurry up... move all the gunpowder to the city wall!" Li Siwen issued an order, and asked someone to carry Li Chengqian and send it back to the Great Protectorate first, asking the doctor to treat him. He turned around and climbed up the city wall. Seeing the outside of the city full of cavalry, Li Siwen's heart was about to jump out!

Since the war began, Li Siwen has never faced the enemy directly. Looking at the overwhelming enemy in front of him, Li Siwen forced himself to calm down. He knew that this time he had no one to rely on, and Dingxiang City must be defended, otherwise, if Dingxiang is lost, 100,000 cavalry will go south directly, and Chang'an will be in danger!

I don’t want to be a hero, but since you force me, there’s nothing I can do about it!

Li Siwen took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Everyone is calm! Don't panic, madam!" Li Siwen looked at Qin Huaiyu and said: "Madam, you can lead a team of people to eliminate the spies in the city first. All suspicious people, as long as you resist, kill them!"

Qin Huaiyu was stunned. She had never seen Li Siwen's decisive side like this. Is this the husband who let him bully and cry at any time?

Subconsciously, Qin Huaiyu obeyed Li Siwen's arrangements and took people to clear the remnants of the city. Li Siwen stood on the top of the city and stared at the enemy troops coming like water below, as if he had just met Li Mu. The broken Dingxiang City was facing thousands of Turkic remnants, and the situation faced by the situation was even more critical than it is now.

At that time, Dingxiang City had no soldiers or food, and no city walls. But in the end, it won. And relying on the secret passage, the people of the entire city kept their names.

There are more than 10,000 people in Dingxiang City now, including equipment to defend the city and gunpowder. Li Siwen believes that he can hold on. As long as he persists for two days, no, he will believe that Li Mu will be able to come back!

"Spray all the pigeons for me!" Li Siwen ordered: "Put all the gunpowder up and take out all the assets, but it's not a good time!"

Li Siwen made a ruthless move, picked up the 'amplifier' and shouted to the opposite side: "Cui Wang, you must die a good death! I have already sent a letter back to the court. You, the Cui family of Boling, are waiting to destroy the nine clans!"

"Hahaha!" Cui Wang's laughter came from the formation. He stood at the vent of the wind, without using a loudspeaker, and the voice could also be heard: "I originally wanted to have an internal and external cooperation, but I didn't expect that you would find out by chance. But it doesn't matter, Li Siwen, you only have ten thousand people? How can you resist my 100,000 army? When I attack Dingxiang, I will rush my army south, and then see who will be destroyed by the nine clans!"

"Li Siwen, aren't you just relying on the power of gunpowder? Go and see if your gunpowder depot is soaked in water, can you still ignite it?"

"What!" Li Siwen's expression changed drastically. At this moment, a captain came to report: "The city lord is not good. When the wife just cleaned up the work, she found that the gunpowder had been soaked in water by them..."

"Damn!" Li Siwen cursed, "Without gunpowder, how can I fight this battle?

"Fight!" Li Siwen forced herself to calm down and tried to recall how Li Mu did the last time he guarded Dingxiang.

The opponent is a cavalry and has no siege equipment. It is definitely too late to rush to control the situation temporarily. So what needs to be prepared is to grab hooks, ladders, or giant trees hitting the door.

"Demolition of houses!" Li Siwen ordered: "Dismant the houses next to the city gate first. After demolishing them, block the door and seal them off! If the excess comes out, mobilize the people to move to the top of the city! They will attack the city later and smash the sky spirit cover!"

"Set up a big pot, and all the oil in the city will be heated for use for me. When I can't stand it, pour it on my head!"

"Everyone who can make iron tills in the city can make iron caltrops immediately. Be sure to spread all over the west city walls before noon!" Li Siwen's eyes widened, his eyes bursting: "Tell the people of the city that Dingxiang has reached the point of life and death, and all those who can move will be moved! Don't be stingy with anything. As long as you survive this, I will pay them twice!"

"Brother received my flying pigeon letter and would rush back to save us. We only need to hold on for two days... No, just hold on for one day. If we hold on for one day, the army will be back. If we can survive, we will definitely survive!"

"Yes!" the captain shouted, went down to pass the order.

Li Siwen looked at the enemy getting closer and closer, grabbed a pair of armor and put it on her body, put a heart-protecting glasses on her chest and back, and also had a helmet on her head, arming herself to her teeth.

He is not afraid of death, he cannot die. If he dies, Dingxiang City will be finished!
