You expect me to serve your mistress? The mistress is driving this scumbag and his entire family cra

Chapter 150 We'll live together, we'll die together!
Gu Xizhi asked, "How did you find out?"

Shanyu Beixiong did not answer: "No comment."

Gu Xizhi smiled helplessly: "I don't think I've given anything away."

“Indeed, if we had known half a day later, you would have escaped Xiliang safely. Now, we are very sorry, but our King of Xiliang would like to ask you, King Pingxi, to stay for a few more days.”

Gu Xizhi replied without hesitation, "Alright, open the city gates and send them away. I will return to Ye City with you."

"No!" Liang Jiang said resolutely, "You have risked your life for me, how could I, Liang Jiang, betray you and abandon you? Today, we will live and die together, we will go together or stay together."

Gu Xizhi smiled slightly at her: "Wouldn't we be at a loss then?"

"If we can leave together, wouldn't that be a win? They're not willing to kill me anyway, so it would be a huge loss not to take a chance."

Gu Xizhi thought for a moment and said, "That's true. What if there's even a one percent chance?"

Then he turned to Guan Qi and instructed him, "Send the signal."

Guan Qi immediately understood, took out a signal tube from his pocket, lit it, and threw it into the sky, where it exploded in the air.

This was the signal they had agreed upon with Deputy General He before leaving the border. They hoped that Chang'an would immediately send troops to their aid upon receiving the signal.

Shanyu Beixiong watched as Guanqi sent out the signal, but remained calm and showed no intention of stopping him.

"Don't expect Chang'an to send troops to rescue you. Tong Shouliang has already sent people to take control of Deputy General He. The border has changed hands and they will definitely not let you return to Chang'an alive."

Liang Jiang and Gu Xizhi were startled and looked at each other in surprise.

Now that Tong Shouliang knows he has come to Xiliang, he will do everything in his power to prevent him from returning to Chang'an, and it is highly likely that he will actually take action against Deputy General He, thus cutting off their paths to survival.

So, with just these few people, it would be an impossible task to break through this city.

With a triumphant air, Shanyu Beixiong asked in a deep voice, "I advise you to just surrender obediently. Why risk the lives of those behind you?"

Liang Jiang was about to retort when Gu Xizhi grasped her hand and sighed softly, "General Shanyu is right. Why must we fight each other? I'll escort you out of the pass."

Then, stepping into the stirrups, he stood upright and shouted urgently, "Go!"

Liang Jiang shot into the air like an arrow, flying directly towards Shan Yu Bei Xiong on horseback!
To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. Only by capturing the Xiongnu chieftain Beixiong can we have a glimmer of hope.

The soldiers were shocked and immediately drew their swords to resist.

After Gu Xizhi sent out Liang Jiang, he also brandished his long sword, which, like a sharp blade, charged into the Xiliang army and quickly tore a hole in it.

The battle begins.

Chaos erupted at the city gate.

Liang Jiang was agile, her red-tasseled spear flashing up and down, the tip of the spear cutting through the air like a white ribbon, unstoppable, sending one Xiliang soldier after another flying, dazzling the eye. She pressed closer and closer to Shanyu Beixiong.

Gu Xizhi possessed profound inner strength and fought steadily, causing chaos and defeat wherever he went, leading his group to fight their way out with great difficulty.

Although each of them was highly skilled in martial arts, how could they possibly stand against the tens of thousands of soldiers from Xiliang? The soldiers surged forward like a tide from all directions, completely blocking the city gate.

Even if they manage to break through Xiliang Pass, without someone to meet them, they will still be doomed.

There seemed to be no hope, but no one lost heart. Everyone had only one thought in their minds: killing one more person would allow them to take another step towards the city gate, and perhaps that would bring them a sliver of hope.

Shanyu Beixiong was also unwilling to fight the two of them.

They're just serving different masters; after all, their positions are different.

Liang Jiang, wielding a silver spear, had already charged forward. The soldiers bravely rushed forward to stop her, but Shanyu Beixiong saw through her intentions and retreated step by step, unwilling to confront Liang Jiang head-on.

Suddenly, a soldier on the city gate reported in alarm: "General, something terrible has happened! A large army is launching a surprise attack on Chang'an, and they are less than twenty miles away from us."

Shanyu Beixiong was startled: "How many people?"

"I estimate there are over ten thousand."

Who is the commander-in-chief?

"Currently unknown."

"Pass on my orders: quickly prepare rolling stones, logs, and arrows, mobilize troops, and make sure to defend the city gates."

The soldier received the order and went to relay it. Liang Jiang and the others, who were almost exhausted from the fighting, were immediately invigorated.

I knew it; how could Vice General He let me down?
Shanyu Beixiong knew that although the enemy was not numerous, they would be attacked from both sides and could easily cause an accident if they were not careful.

Moreover, the resilience and invincibility of the galangal caused Shanyu Beixiong to narrow his eyes and feel murderous intent.

This person cannot be allowed to live; otherwise, if we release him back into the wild, he will surely cause future trouble. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, he will be a formidable enemy.

So he ordered his men to intensify their attack, surrounding Liang Jiang and Gu Xizhi in the center, setting up their bows and arrows, intending to finish the battle quickly.

Both sides suffered casualties.

The warhorse was also tripped by the hook and sickle.

Liang Jiang and the others were covered in blood, their hands trembling slightly uncontrollably, exhausted and panting heavily.

Gu Xizhi pressed his shoulders against hers, holding her hand tightly against his palm: "The reinforcements are still far away. It seems we're going to lose this gamble."

Liang Jiang gripped the spear tightly in her hand: "I've still dragged you down. I really shouldn't have let you risk your life with me."

"I told you, consider it as repaying you with your life."

"What have you ever owed me?"

Gu Xizhi asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Forgot?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a rain of arrows rained down upon them.

Gu Xizhi pulled Liang Jiang behind her and used her long sword to deflect countless arrows.

Guanqi, Yushu, and Yuhua were all injured and exhausted, and there were very few other survivors.

Gu Xizhi stood shoulder to shoulder with Liang Jiang, resisting the onslaught of arrows. He advised in a deep voice, "Xiliang wants to spare me. You don't need to lose your life too. If I am captured soon, obey my orders and lead them away from here! Don't hesitate!"

Liang Jiang was covered in blood and looked utterly disheveled. Her hands and feet were trembling from exhaustion, yet the silver spear in her hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Clenching his teeth, he said firmly, "I won't leave!"

Gu Xizhi also gasped for breath, grabbed Liang Jiang's hand, and then let go.

Liang Jiang felt as if something had appeared in her palm. She glanced down hastily and saw that it was a white flower made of silk gauze.

She had seen it in a restaurant before, and Gu Xizhi always kept it wrapped in a handkerchief and tucked it into her chest.

At this moment, the silk flower was stained with bright red blood, whether from Gu Xizhi or someone else, it was unknown.

Why would he give himself this flower at such a critical moment of life and death?
It was like handing over one's last words.

Liang Jiang didn't bother to ask, she stuffed the silk flower into her chest and glanced at him.

Gu Xizhi smiled slightly at her: "Here you go. Until we meet again."

What is he going to do?
Is it a desperate gamble?

Liang Jiang had a bad feeling about her.

With a hoarse voice, he asked, "What do you want to do?! I said we'd live together, die together! I'll never live a life of dishonor!"

Gu Xizhi remained silent, but her gaze was resolute and unwavering. Even at the cost of her own life, she would ensure her safe return to Chang'an!

Just as things were about to turn around, a sharp whistle rang out, and the rain of arrows seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, losing its original force in mid-air. Even if it hit them, it would not cause any effective damage.

Almost simultaneously, the soldiers guarding the city gate screamed in agony as they fell from the city wall.

The soldiers wielding longbows seemed to be swept up by an overwhelming force, flying into the air before crashing to the ground.

Such astonishing internal strength made Liang Jiang involuntarily think of a certain person.

She cried out in alarm, "Junior Uncle, Junior Uncle, is that you?"

On the city wall, someone spoke up unhappily: "In your heart, is Junior Uncle the only one? Where have you forgotten about us?"
