There was only a candlelight left in the room, which was reflected in my eyes at this time, flashing, and a sense of uneasiness that was unrest.

I turned over and sat up, sat quietly beside the bed for a while, before slowly getting up and walking to the center of the room.

The layers of curtains made the gorgeous and spacious room more empty, giving people a feeling of weakness. When I walked to the door, I didn't want to push the door out, but I heard footsteps coming from outside for a while. After walking away, I slowly walked back after a while, and I knew that there must be someone outside the room.

Not surprising.

So I retreated back to the other side of the room.

When Pei Yuanxiu was just carried in, I vaguely saw a wall on this side in the gap between the blankets, and opened a window. So I walked over and gently pushed the window open a line.

Outside, of course it was pitch black.

This inn should be very big. From Pei Yuanxiu holding me in and walking into the place, the time was not short, and the voices of people coming to serve on both sides were also noisy. It seemed that although it was a year of war, the Song family did not make it wronged at all.

But Cangzhou City...

Through the gaps in the window, I looked outside.

This small building is not very tall, and there are also high walls outside. The shadows of trees shaking in the wind and snow cannot see that far. You can only see a dark snow field, as if there were countless star points. It should be the bonfire of soldiers stationed in front of you.

And a little further away...

I can't see anything.

I think that after being trapped for so long, the energy consumed in Cangzhou City should have been almost exhausted, including food and things that can be used to ignite and burn for heating. So the whole city now has no sparks, and it just sinks into the dark night.

Song Huaiyi said that he would conquer Cangzhou City within half a month.

In fact, according to the current situation, it is probably because Cangzhou City can last for a long time, but since Cangzhou City can last for so long, there must be a reason for it to last for so long. Whether it can be taken down within half a month may not be as he said.

only--

It's really just a matter of time.

A city without foreign aid and food reserves cannot be maintained for too long even if it is closed. One day, the people in the city will not be able to hold on.

My hands holding the window frame were slightly pressed, and my eyes were staring at the sparks outside, and I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Will Cangzhou City be a dead end?

Just as I was about to close the window and return to the bedside, a sound suddenly sounded on the dark snow field ahead.

It seems that someone is beating drums and drums.

How could such a sound suddenly make in such a late night?

I frowned and opened the window a little further and looked out. Although the sound came from a distance, probably in the other side of Cangzhou City, because of the late night and the wind, the sound still came here.

What is this doing?

Could it be that at this time, the people from the Song family want to attack the city?

I suddenly became nervous and stared outside, but except for the sound coming from afar, there was only the sound of wind and snow whistling around me. The inn was quiet, and no one heard any sounds of military dispatch because of the sound.

It's not a siege, so what's going on with this sound?

I looked into the distance in confusion, and after about a quarter of an hour, the sound subsided.

What's the point of making?

I was puzzled, but I couldn't go out to ask. Besides, standing in front of the open window, I was blown away by the wind for a while. I knew that my body could not be so bad now. After all, I was close to the capital, so I closed the window and returned to the bed to lie down.

But, I can't sleep.

And one night, the sound rang three or four times. If I had already fallen asleep, I wouldn't hear that sound at all. But I almost never closed my eyes this night, so when the sound rang from afar, I would still keenly capture it, and I felt a little more confused in my heart.

Finally, it was the next morning.

Early in the morning, Pei Yuanxiu went to my room to accompany me. After the maids served me to wash up, a servant brought a small table to the bed, and there were slow food on it.

I couldn't help but frown.

There are probably hunger in Cangzhou City now, and those people don’t know what else to eat, but in this inn outside the city, there are big fish and meat, and even a table of breakfast is so rich.

I can't help but have some trauma.

Pei Yuanxiu didn't feel my mood at all, but instead made someone serve a bowl of hot porridge, and gently blew it on his own, and then delivered it to my mouth: "Come and eat some."

I barely opened my mouth and ate a spoonful, but it was very laborious when I swallowed it.

This time, he noticed it and looked at me with concern: "What's wrong?"

“…”

"Is it still uncomfortable?"

“…”

"That doctor gave you an injection and took the medicine, but it still didn't work?"

I lowered my head and said softly: "Not."

He reached out to my forehead and touched it. The temperature was no longer so hot, which made him feel relieved, but immediately asked, "Is there any other discomfort? Why do I see you have no appetite?"

I thought about it and said, "I didn't sleep well last night."

"Um?"

“It’s so noisy outside.”

"Noisy?" He frowned and said, "Is it very noisy? Why didn't I hear it?"

I glanced at him and stopped talking, but as long as I didn't mention it, he couldn't let it go. He immediately turned around and ordered the servant behind him: "Go and ask what happened last night? Qingying said she was so quarrel that she couldn't sleep."

The attendant responded and went down immediately.

After a while, Song Huaiyi walked in from outside.

He was still wearing a brocade robe, looking noble and rich. He naturally followed the servants and maids wherever he went. However, before he came in, he waved his hand and left those people outside. Then he walked to the curtains outside the interior and interior and said softly: "What's wrong with the young master?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Pei Yuanxiu said: "What happened last night? Why did Qingying say that she couldn't sleep when she was quarreled outside?"

Song Huaiyi was stunned for a moment and looked up at me.

I only lowered my eyelids lightly, he coughed lightly, and immediately said, "I'm negligent."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"At these days, before siege, we will create riots outside Cangzhou City the night before, so that people in the city cannot rest, so that we can't handle today's battle. Last night was-"

“…”

"The people below just follow the rules. But I didn't expect that Miss Yan would wake up so easily."

Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly.

Although he was the head of this war, he was not the military commander after all, and he would not care about how to fight at any step. Therefore, he probably never asked Song Huaiyi how to attack Cangzhou City before, but he didn't expect to ask this in one sentence.

My brows slowly frowned and said softly: "Then you guys---"

"Light," he interrupted me softly, saying, "Don't worry about this."

Just as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.

This time, it was not like last night, when the loud noise was shocking the earth, as if it was cracking rocks, which made the house shaking. I subconsciously raised my head, grabbed the mattress under my body with one hand, and looked outside: "What's wrong?"

Song Huaiyi stood outside the curtain and said without changing his face: "I am sieging the city."

His words were as calm as if he was saying that the weather was good today, but immediately afterwards, there was a more violent roar outside than another. It should be that their people were hitting the gate of Cangzhou City. After the roar, there was a roar. I don’t know how many people were hitting.

Song Huaiyi smiled and said, "This sound is a bit annoying. Young Master, Miss Yan, please come and find a solution later."

Pei Yuanxiu nodded and said nothing more, Song Huaiyi left.

Pei Yuanxiu then raised his head and looked at me with a somewhat panic expression, and said softly: "The doctor said, you cannot be stimulated or bumpy, so stay in the room today and don't go out."

“…”

"Come on, have something to eat first."

...

I ate a few bites of porridge in his hand, but when I heard the sound of killing outside, I had no appetite. In the end, no matter how I stretched my neck, I couldn't swallow it. He didn't force me and coaxed me to drink another half bowl of soup.

After a while, the servant came to report and Song Huaiyi set up a stage below.

When I heard this, I was stunned and was helped out and looked. As expected, in the spacious courtyard below this yard, I set up a large stage at some point, and everyone was in place. They brought me a comfortable and spacious chair, put it at the door, put it in two stoves at hand, and once I sat down, I could see the stage outside.

Perhaps to cover up the sound of siege in the distance, the performances were all lively dramas, such as the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and Magu's birthday.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums in the garden and the waters flying on the stage seemed to have the illusion of prosperity and glory.

But I know that after every gong and drum sound, there are wars and killings in the distance. I wonder how many people are full of blood in the joyful and lively scenes, and then fall down dejectedly.

The excitement on both sides shows an extra cruelty.

But I could do nothing, just sit there, looking at the joy and excitement, but my heart fell into deeper thoughts.

Is there any way to break the deadlock in front of me?

What about breaking the dead end of Cangzhou City?

Just as I was thinking deeply, just after the show was over, a voice came from outside the garden—
