Liaocheng is located on the border between Ji and Liang. It originally belonged to Liang. Later, it surrendered to Ji due to the war in Liang. Now it is entrenched by the Liang army under Lu Jiu and confronts Hezhou of Ji. Xueyan quickly whips up and does not stop. When approaching Liang, there are traces of war attack everywhere, and corpses are everywhere.

It was already afternoon when we entered Hezhou. There were only the remaining defenders on the city tower. The city was dilapidated and there were few people. They were no longer as prosperous and noisy as they were back then. After years of war, Hezhou was approaching Liang State, but it was not easy to be annexed by the Liang army.

Xueyan hurriedly walked along the street and saw almost no people. After inquiring, she realized that the commander of the city, A Qing, led his army out of the city to meet the enemy. She had not returned for a few days. Now the whole city is in panic. People say that the Liang Kingdom is about to come. There are not many troops guarding the city, and there are few food and grass. Sooner or later, they will be captured, and the people in the city will escape.

Xueyan walked alone on the deserted street and suddenly saw the little girl she met in Hezhou. She sat alone on the threshold of her home, with a sad face and a dull look at the direction outside the city.

Five years have passed by, and the playful little girl back then has become a beautiful little girl.

"Why are you still here?" Xueyan walked over. "Leave Hezhou quickly."

The little girl turned around and saw Xueyan standing up suddenly, taking a few steps back, with a little frightened on her face. "Hezhou is already an isolated city and has been in a lockdown for many days. How did the eldest sister come in?"

"I came in over the city wall." Xueyan explained.

The little girl hesitated for a moment and hurriedly walked over and took Xueyan's hand. "The big sister is very capable and must not be an ordinary person. Please, save the people of Hezhou!" As she said that, the little girl knelt in front of Xueyan and kowtowed hard.

"If you have something to do, get up and talk about it." Xueyan leaned over to help her, but she refused to get up and cried in a low voice.

"Sister Aqing has been leading the army out of the city for many days, and there is no news. There are rumors that she has died in battle. I am afraid that the army of Liang will come over..." The little girl raised her head. "Sister Xueyan, Hezhou is the most important border defense line of Ji State. If Hezhou is lost, the army of Liang State will march straight into me and flatten my entire Ji State. Please save this people. The king of Liang State is cruel and keen on killing. I heard that there is another demon to help the evildoer. The surrounding countries have fallen. If the army of Liang State comes over, the people of Ji State will also fall into the fire."

"I know." Xueyan understood that it must be Lu Jiu who could have the ability to invade like this in the world. He relied on his powerful magic and acted in the world. It was really hateful! Xueyan came to the world to solve him this time. "Do you know which direction did Ah Qing lead his troops?" Xueyan asked. She didn't know anything about Hezhou's affairs, and now she had to find Ah Qing first.

"I don't know, Liang Guo burned, killed and looted everywhere, and Sister Aqing led his army out of the city to resist, but he never received any war rewards."

"Without her, there will be no army. We must find her first." Xueyan looked out of the city worriedly and whispered to herself. "A Qing, don't have anything to do!"

"Sister Aqing has been out of the city for many days, and the direction is unknown. Moreover, there are Liang Jun everywhere outside now, which is very dangerous. Where should we find her?"

Xueyan lowered her head and pondered, and suddenly she lost her mind. She was not familiar with her around her, so she didn't know where to find Ah Qing.

"Liang Jun is here, everyone run away!" an old man shouted and ran over from the direction of the city tower.

The only people in the city suddenly became in chaos, and they packed their own dry food and led the children to help the elderly escape.

"Why don't you leave?" Xueyan turned around, and the little girl was still standing behind her.

"I won't leave, my mother has become sick due to overwork and cannot travel far. I want to accompany her!" She refused Xueyan in one whisper, looking sad.

Xueyan sighed inwardly, perhaps only family affection in this world can make people put life and death aside!

"Sister Xueyan, you must have a way to save the people of Hezhou, right?" The little girl grabbed Xueyan's arm with expectations on her face. "There are still some defenders in the city, please help these innocent people." Xueyan was like a life-saving straw, she grabbed her tightly.

"I..." Xueyan knew very little about the matter on earth. How could she dispatch troops and generals like this? It would be great if her senior brother Ye Feng was there, but her senior brother could never leave the heaven.

"Please." The little girl pressed all her expectations on Xueyan. She believed that Xueyan would definitely save Hezhou.

"At present, I can only fight with my back." Xueyan and Ye Feng's army were in the same sect, and they could be somewhat affected by Ye Feng's military talents. Xueyan walked towards the city gate, and at least resisted for a while, and it would be good to delay until A Qing comes back.

There was a lot of war in the distance, and there was no news of reinforcements coming. It seemed that Hezhou City was already an isolated city and the situation was in danger.

He couldn't care about so many things, and he had to repel these enemy troops first. Xueyan stood at the gate of the city to respond to the enemy. The commander of Hezhou City ordered to close the city gate and swear to protect the last piece of land to the death. The Liang State's army was getting closer and closer. The soldiers guarding the city were frightened and uneasy when they saw the armor under the city.

"Ji Guo's defeated generals, surrender and let grandpa in. I'm in a good mood today, maybe I can let you live a life!" A general riding a tall horse under the city shouted proudly, and the soldiers around him burst into laughter.

The Hezhou General Army showed a slight anger on his face and ordered arrows to be fired. Archers stood side by side and shot arrows at the Liang State's army. The arrows were as dense as rain and rustled down. The Liang State's army retreated one after another, but had no intention of leaving.

"Little bastard, don't eat the punishment for toasting. When grandpa rushes in, you will make the whole city of Hezhou flow into blood!" The general-looking man under the city curled his smile, waved his sword, shot down the arrows that were shot, and turned around and shouted. "Listen to my order and attack!"

The soldiers of Liang State were ordered to raise their shields and resist the flying rain of arrows and advanced towards Hezhou City. Seeing that the enemy did not retreat but advanced, the soldiers guarding the city were a little panicked and stepped up the cooperation of bows and arrows. However, the fine rain of arrows did not block the footsteps of the soldiers of Liang State. The army was getting closer and closer to the city tower, and the situation was in danger.

Xueyan was quick to learn, and jumped up to the city tower, snatched the bow of the archer beside her, tightened the bowstring, and silently concentrated his spiritual power. The silver light concentrated on the tip of the arrow, gathered into a crystal ice arrow, and appeared on the bowstring. There were vast snowflakes floating around. It was March of warm sun, and the snowflakes actually floated, and the air around suddenly became cold. Everyone stopped what was in shock, looked around, wanting to know what was going on.

There are regulations in the heavenly realm that there are fixed numbers of dynasties in the world, and we cannot disturb them with immortal magic and spiritual arts without authorization. Therefore, Xueyan rarely shows ice and snow spiritual arts in front of others. However, if the human world falls into the hands of a tyrant, it will only harm the people. The situation is urgent, and Xueyan will not care about so much.

The ice arrows gathered brighter and brighter. Xueyan suddenly let go of the bowstrings. The ice arrow flew to the city, and passed a silver-white beam of light in the air, imparting to the feet of General Liang's horse. The cold air dissipated, and the surrounding land suddenly freezes. They were all ordinary humans. They had never seen such a scene. They looked frightened and avoided the sweeping ice flowers. They instantly gave up a large open space. The horse was frightened and jumped and neighed. The general was also a little capable. He jumped down in the air. As he had just stood firm, he looked back and saw his mount slamming as if he was constantly slamming his hooves, avoiding the cold air rising from the ground, and ran away with a wail. Seeing this, the people of Liang took a breath of air and restrained their arrogance just now, and did not dare to be arrogant anymore.

Only then did everyone notice that the abnormal climate in front of them was done by the woman in white on the Hezhou city tower. Is she a witch? The crowd was shocked and frightened, stopped what was in their hands and stared at her in a daze.

"Retreat the troops immediately, otherwise you will be the one with the arrow!" Xueyan flew up the edge of the city, condescending with awesome momentum.

"Haha, I'm not afraid of you!" The general of Liang State shouted, and his heart was also pounding. I wonder what the identity of this woman in white was.

Xueyan quickly rotated the bow in her hand, but the ordinary bow flashed a silver-white light in her hand.

"Then do you want to try it? What does it feel like to be frozen into an ice sculpture?" Xueyan threatened loudly and tightened the bowstring. The second ice arrow was already on the string, facing the general of Liang State ready to go. Xueyan was not at ease, but she still understood the principle of capturing the king first. In order not to hurt the innocent, she could only subdue the general in the lead.

The general seemed to be shocked by Xue Yan's words, his face was a little frightened, hesitated for a moment, and shouted at Hezhou City. "You are already isolated and helpless. Even if we don't come to attack the city, how long will the food and grass in the city last? It's not a dead end in the end! Why not surrender as soon as possible, and I can consider spareing you forever."

"You don't have to worry about this. I'll order the retreat, otherwise the soldiers of Ji State will fight you to the death!" Xueyan shouted loudly, the ice arrows on the strings shone even more, and the air around them became colder and colder.

The coldness on his body was still there, and the general of Liang State dared not come forward again. "Okay, I want to see how you were starved to death."

The general of Liang State snorted coldly. He had seen this extraordinary spell with his own eyes. He was really shocked. Since Hezhou was already in his pocket, he was just making the final struggle. He didn't have to do anything more, nor did he want to lose his life for no reason. He had to turn around and lead a large group of troops to leave in shame.

The enemy had retreated, and the soldiers on the city tower all pointed the bows and arrows in their hands towards Xueyan and surrounded her.

"Sister Xueyan." The little girl chased the city tower and looked at Xueyan in confusion. "Is the rumors in Jizhou City true back then, Sister Xueyan, you... are you a monster?"

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Xueyan put down the bow and arrow in her hand, jumped down the edge of the city, and explained loudly. "I am just a cultivator living in the deep mountains, the same as the mage in Liang Kingdom. Unlike me, I practice the Dharma, and he practices evil techniques."

"Oh." The little girl responded, believing and skeptical. It was the first time she had seen a person who could use magic, but at least Xueyan had not done anything bad so far, so she was not afraid of Xueyan.

"I can help you temporarily resist the power of Liang State, you must believe me." Xueyan said sincerely.

The soldiers looked at each other, wondering if they should believe the woman in white.

"If I want to harm you, why should I help you retreat the enemy just now? The Liang army is still eyeing outside the city. Only by uniting together can we gain a glimmer of life for Ji Guo."

"Sister Xueyan is a good person, she has been helping us all the time." The little girl squeezed out of the crowd and walked over to hold Xueyan's hand. "I believe her."

The soldiers seemed to see Xueyan's sincerity and put away their bows and arrows.

"Then what is your identity? What are you doing in Hezhou?" a soldier asked loudly.

"Now is not the time to study this. They have not yet gone far. We are already trapped here." Xueyan turned to ask the commander of Hezhou. "How long can the food and grass be supplied in the city?"

"I sent someone to count it, and it will probably be available for everyone to eat for about five days."

"Is it only five days?" Xueyan couldn't believe that if there were no reinforcements or food within five days, the people here would starve to death.

"Yes, the border of Ji State has been warned for years, and Hezhou has been deeply harmed. The people are in danger of peace of mind. How can anyone farm with peace of mind? The food and grass in the city have been deficient for years, and reinforcements have not arrived yet..." The commanders of Hezhou sighed, and their words were full of worries.

"Where is A Qing? How long has she been away?" Xueyan asked.

"It's been four or five days." The commander-in-arms on the side replied. "She left in a hurry, and there is no news yet."

"A Qing was good at using troops. She was famous for a while and had fought many times. The enemy was brave enough to fight without fighting. If she could come back, Hezhou City would be saved." A soldier hurriedly said. "We should send people out of the city to find her back."

"Well, if Hezhou City can last tonight, I will go to find her overnight." Xueyan sighed and fell into worries.

"What does it mean until tonight?" The little girl next to her was puzzled. "Hasn't Liang State retreated?"

"The general didn't have many troops, which means he was just a small character, and he was just an advance force just attacking. They wanted to come and explore our reality. I guess the army should be dealing with A Qing at this time." The commander of Hezhou sighed.

"If the army arrives, I don't know if I can still save Hezhou City." Xueyan was also very worried. These ordinary humans were fine, just scare them. What she was most worried about was Lu Jiu, the culprit who harmed the country and the people!

"What should I do?" the commander asked anxiously. "If Hezhou is lost, the entire Ji State will be in danger. Before leaving, Ah Qing told me to protect Hezhou City and not let Liang army step into our Ji State!"

"I won't let that happen! Now we have to wait. Liang State has been fighting for years. Even if they have Lu Jiu's magic, it is useless to conquer surrounding countries with force. It is necessary to win the hearts of the people of those countries. These will take time." Xueyan turned calmly and looked at the sunset in the sky. "I believe that Ah Qing, she will come back!"

Ah Qing has always been polite to the people. Hezhou City is her home, and she will definitely come back to protect it!

"Well. I believe Sister Aqing too." The little girl responded and turned her head. "She will come back, she will definitely do it!"
