Chapter 138 Defending the City

"Old Ding and his men are guarding the west gate." Chen Biao said, "They must be the advance troops sent by the other side to explore the situation in the city and our military strength."

Qi Zhan's expression was serious, and when Chen Biao entered the living room, more than twenty big men who were resting behind him also came in one after another.

At this moment, everyone looked at Qi Zhan with burning eyes, waiting for his orders.

"Xin Hu, take your men to the west city gate to support Ding Pingchang immediately."

"Zheng Li, lead the team to patrol the city. Send someone to report anything suspicious immediately."

"The Sand Bandits will definitely not only appear at the West City Gate. Lu Ying, go support Ye Xiao in the north, Chen Yi, go support Jiang Huaying in the south."

……

Qi Zhan and Mo Fang looked at the defense map on the table and sent people one by one to reinforce the defense. At this moment, the living room became noisy with people coming in and out constantly.

Qin Chaoyan, Wei Chu and the other three did not leave, but found a corner where they would not be delayed, thinking that if there was anyone who could help, they would volunteer to do the job.

Qi Zhan and Mo Fang did not ask to send them away. It was not known whether they were too busy to remember or they really felt that they might be needed somewhere.

Fortunately, this time Beisha’s advance troops were intercepted.

None of the city gates were breached, and no Beisha soldiers sneaked in.

After a night passed, most of the Daqi soldiers in the reception room and even in the city had not slept all night.

At dawn, soldiers brought up porridge and Qi Zhan invited Qin Chaoyan and the other three to have breakfast together.

Looking at the steamed buns and porridge on the table, Qin Chaoyan and the others didn't say much. They thanked Qi Zhan and ate together.

After the meal, Qin Chaoyan thought of something and asked Qi Zhan.

"How long can the food in the city last?"

Mo Fang, who was standing by, had long known about Qin Chaoyan's deeds, not to mention that he had witnessed her abilities last night. So when Qin Chaoyan opened her mouth, Mo Fang did not hesitate and quoted a specific amount.

"The food in the city now, if we save a little, will be enough for the people and soldiers in the city to eat for a week."

"Do you have money?" Qin Chaoyan asked.

"Yes." Qi Zhan said.

"If you trust me, I can help you deliver letters and buy food." Qin Chaoyan said, "This is probably all I can do for you."

Qi Zhan looked at her deeply, bowed to her, and said, "These are enough. I thank the goddess on behalf of the people and soldiers of Liangcheng."

Mo Fang also bowed slightly, "Thank you, goddess, for your help."

Qin Chaoyan's gaze fell on Chen Biao and others who were coming towards them not far away. They looked tired, with blood stains on their bodies and faces.

She pursed her lips and said, "This is all I can do. Just don't blame me for not taking action."

Wei Chu held her hand, and Qin Chaoyan looked over. His eyes were full of warmth, as if he was persuading her not to blame herself.

Qi Zhan picked up his pen and wrote a letter for help, stating the current situation of Liangcheng and Beisha's intentions.

After stopping writing, Qi Zhan stamped the letter with his personal seal and sealed it.

Qi Zhan also took out his personal jade pendant and handed it to Qin Chaoyan. Mo Fang next to him handed over a small box full of silver bills and gold bars.

Qin Chaoyan said: "I will go to Kyoto and tell Emperor Qi about this."

"I hope you can hold on. I'll bring some people over. Reinforcements will arrive in three days at the latest."

"Don't worry, with us here, Liangcheng will not be conquered. Our fifty thousand soldiers will stand until the last moment, until only one man is left."

Qin Chaoyan looked at them with admiration. "By the way, it would be better to send another person to accompany me." She said, "This way, you can feel more at ease, and the people in Kyoto will be more willing to believe my words."

Qi Zhan nodded, "Thank you, Goddess, for considering us."

Just at this time, Chen Biao and his men all came over, even Cao Jian, who had just returned last night, participated in the patrol and helped the brothers at the West Gate to kill several sand bandits.

Qi Zhan told them that Qin Chaoyan was going to deliver a letter for them, then looked at them and asked if anyone was willing to accompany Qin Chaoyan.

The twenty or so big men looked at each other. When they were chatting on the way back, they also heard Cao Jian mention Qin Chaoyan's extraordinaryness.

To be honest, who doesn’t want to experience walking with a goddess?

But there are more important things that they need to do.

Defend the city!

Therefore, no one in the room volunteered to accompany Qin Chaoyan to deliver the letter. In the end, Cao Jian, the old letterman, was pushed out.

After the selection was made, Cao Jian stood up awkwardly, looked at Qin Chaoyan, and asked, "Master Qin, when will we set out? I'll go pack my bags."

Qin Chaoyan said: "No need to pack, we will set off now."

After saying that, Qin Chaoyan looked at Wei Chu, and he stared at her with deep eyes.

Wei Chu said: "Be careful on your way, we will wait for you to come back here."

Jiang Yuandao also said, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen to those students." Jiang Guangbai also quickly spoke up, "Master Qin, don't worry, Master Jiang and I will take good care of Wei Zhao and the others."

"Go ahead," Wei Chu said, "Don't worry, we are here."

Qin Chaoyan took the initiative to pull Wei Chu's hand and looked at him. "I'll be back soon, wait for me."

"it is good."

Hearing his words, Qin Chaoyan reached out and grabbed Cao Jian's wrist, saying, "Brother Cao, stand firm."

The next moment, the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight.

Along the way, Qin Chaoyan did not stop for a moment. The matter in Liangcheng was urgent, and he had to reach Kyoto as soon as possible.

Therefore, Cao Jian felt what it was like to be chased by lightning and sparks. He felt dizzy and before he could recover, he fell to the ground with a thud.

At the moment of falling, Cao Jian's first reaction was not that it would be embarrassing if the people in the military camp knew about this, but that he finally stopped.

Feeling the solidity of the land, Cao Jian collapsed on the ground and gasped for a while.

The two people guarding the gate of Xizhi Palace saw Qin Chaoyan suddenly appear. The moment they saw her, they shouted in unison: "Lady Goddess!"

One person reacted quickly and asked excitedly: "Lady Goddess appeared here, what's the matter?"

"Please inform him for me. I have something important to discuss with His Majesty."

The young eunuch in charge of communicating hurriedly bowed to Qin Chaoyan, and ran and rolled forward all the way, not caring about etiquette for a moment.

The eunuch was about to criticize him when he saw his expression, but when he heard his words, he immediately became as panicked as he was.

At this time, Emperor Qi and his ministers were attending the morning court. He sat in the upper seat, listening to the ministers below reporting some trivial matters.

There was a commotion outside the hall and Emperor Qi frowned. Seeing this, Hong Zhao trotted out of the hall.

Not long after, Hong Zhao entered the hall with somewhat hurried steps.

"What's the commotion outside the palace?"
