In the middle of the night, Li Danghu held the ring knife and leaned against the pillar, sitting on the railing under the corridor, with his eyelids like a big stone pressing down, and he kept falling down.

He was too tired and ran all the way from Kucha to this point. He almost never met his eyes after six days and six nights. Dongfang Shuo was placed under house arrest by the Huns, and Kucha City was in danger. There was a major loophole in Liang Xiao's plan. He had to send this news to Liang Xiao in time.

However, he couldn't sleep. Once Kucha was lost, the Huns would be able to return to Daban after they had received sufficient supplies. No one dared to guarantee whether they could escape safely. The Huns must have defended the northern entrance of Daban, and the hunting Jiaomi also stationed troops in the Yili River Valley. Even if they wanted to escape back to Dayuan, they would not be able to do so.

Where is the way out? Li Danghuo has no idea.

The door behind him creaked, and Liang Xiao appeared at the door. Li Danghu was shocked, and subconsciously stood up, raised his sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes, and his hand had already grasped the ring knife.

"Brother Li." Liang Xiao reached out and held Li Danghu's hand. "Come in, I'll say a few words to you, and then you go and rest."

Li Danghu looked at Liang Xiao, whose eyes were covered in blood, but his eyes had recovered from clearness. He breathed a sigh of relief and followed Liang Xiao into the house.

The room was in a mess, and things were thrown away by Liang Xiao in anger. Xiya and Xigma were cleaning up, with a timid expression.

"I got angry a little today." Liang Xiao grinned awkwardly. "Brother Li Haihan."

Li Danghu smiled bitterly and said, "When I heard this news, I didn't recover for a long time."

Liang Xiao laughed at himself: "This matter is being scheming... Well, now that things have come to this, I won't say that much. According to your estimate, how long can the Kucha people last?"

Li Danghu shook his head. "It's not clear. The monarch and ministers of Kucha were too afraid of the Huns. Moreover, although there were many soldiers, their combat power was poor. Can they block the first attack of the Huns? They should not have too much hope."

"I thought things too simple and forced Dongfang Shuo to take risks."

Li Danghuo didn't say anything. Dongfang Shuo said so at the beginning, but he never mentioned it again later. He just tried his best and worked hard. Now that he thought about it, he took risks and went to the Xiongnu camp to be a lobbyist. It was indeed too risky.

"We have to save him."

"No hurry to do this." Liang Xiao smiled, with an indescribable trust. "Dongfang Shuo's greatest ability is to save his life, and he will not be able to do anything."

Li Danghu looked at Liang Xiao, but he stopped talking. Liang Xiao saw his concern and smiled and said, "Okay, just believe me once. I have another question: How long can Kucha supply the Huns?"

"A year is not a problem. It will be hard to say more than a year."

Liang Xiao nodded. "Then I have a idea. You go and have a good rest, have a good sleep, and come to discuss countermeasures tomorrow. I'll think about it carefully, too."

Li Danghu looked at Liang Xiao worriedly. "Are you really okay?"

"I'm really fine." Liang Xiao pushed Li Danghu's back and gently pushed him out. He ordered someone to take him to rest.

After seeing Li Danghuo away, Liang Xiao returned to the house. He walked slowly with his hands behind his back. He walked slowly. Sometimes he was blocked by Xiya and Xigma who were cleaning up, so he stopped and waited for them to finish cleaning up. Xiya and Xigma both felt a little uneasy, so he speeded up and cleaned up the house neatly.

"Master, do you... want to wash and rest early?"

"You guys have a rest first, I'm going to sit for a while."

"Or... I'll sit with you." Shigma said carefully.

Liang Xiao glanced at her, smiled silently, and reached out to pinch her little face. "If you want to accompany me, just accompany me. If you don't let you accompany me, I guess none of you will fall asleep."

Sigma stuck out her tongue and laughed. She called hot water, asked Liang Xiao to wash, and cleaned herself. When she came back with the hot water, Liang Xiao wrapped herself in a cloak, sat cross-legged in the fire pit, looking at a map. Hearing the footsteps, Liang Xiao raised his head, took the water from her hand, took a sip, held it in his mouth for a moment, and swallowed it slowly.

Sigma sat aside, wrapped her cloak tightly, tilted her head and stared at Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao looked at her. "What's wrong?"

"No, I just feel a little scared." Sigma laughed and said, "The master was so scary just now."

Liang Xiao wiped his face and felt a little ashamed. Today's reaction was indeed quite embarrassing. The image of Wei Guangzheng that he had established before suddenly collapsed. "Do you think I'm useless?"

"No." Sigma thought for a while and said, "Well, there is still a little bit. In the past, I thought my master was the sun god Apollo, and I couldn't stop you from any difficulties. Now..."

"Now I'm a big radish."

"No, no." Shigma couldn't help laughing and giggled. "The master is more like a person, not a god now."

Liang Xiao blinked his eyes and smiled. Indeed, he was invincible along the way, and he repeatedly defeated the more with fewer. Not only did others regard him as a god, but he himself felt that he was a god and there was no difficulty to overcome. Thinking about it carefully, the plan to capture Daban and fight for control of the Western Regions was too risky. He wanted to swallow the elephant with a snake, but now he lured the elephant of the Right Xianwang in, but he couldn't swallow it, forcing Dongfang Shuo to take risks with himself.

It’s not that the opportunity is bad, but he is still weak and cannot play such a big game. He pinned his hopes for success on the mutual game between Kucha, Yuezhi and Wusun. It is not rational enough to make a big difference by trying to make a big shot. As a result, he lost everything after a mistake.

After all, the time travelers are not gods.

"Master, what should I do now? Go back to Dayuan?"

"No hurry." Liang Xiao took another sip of water. "We are not at the time to escape." He paused, as if comforting Sigma, and as if comforting himself. "Wait a minute, maybe there is a turning point."

Sigma nodded obediently and did not ask again. She was not very familiar with these things. Among the four sisters, she was the youngest and had the simplest ideas. She believed whatever Liang Xiao said. It was precisely because of this that she had the greatest achievements in practicing arrows.

Liang Xiao took the map again and began to ponder silently in the light of fire.

Sigma sat quietly on the side, blinking from time to time, looking at Liang Xiao curiously. Occasionally, Liang Xiao turned his head and looked at her.

The house was very quiet, as long as the wood in the fire pit was burning slightly.

Yancheng.

Amid the sound of the trumpet, the Huns launched wave after wave of fierce attacks. They were used to riding and shooting, holding shields and ladders, and under the cover of archers, they continued to charge towards the city walls made of loess.

The soldiers of Kucha hid behind the city wall and kept shooting arrows, using spears and swords to attack the Huns who climbed up the city, and fought back with all their might. However, their morale was obviously not as high as that of the Huns. More and more Huns climbed up the city and started hand-to-hand combat.

The outer city is about to break.

The Youxian King sat on the horse's back, looked at the battlefield where the battle was full of fighting, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a joking voice: "Mr. Dongfang, it seems that Yancheng is not as strong as you imagined, and the Yuezhi people are not as fast as you imagined."

Dongfang Shuo lay tilted on a big cart, holding his cheek, looking listlessly at the city wall in the distance, lacking interest. "That's not because you are strong, but because the Kucha people are too weak."

"That's true." The Youxian King was in a good mood. "Then do you think Liang Xiao is strong enough?"

"I advise you not to make things boring." Dongfang Shuo yawned. "Stop when you see it is good. Now when you return to the grassland, you can still save some face. If you really can't capture Dazaka for a long time, you will even lose this face."

"Are you really thinking about me?"

"I'm not thinking about you, I just don't want you to die too ugly. No matter what, you respect me and don't lose the courtesy of treating guests." Dongfang Shuo closed his eyes and began to sleep.

The Right Xianwang stroked his beard and looked at Dongfang Shuo with his eyes flashing. He couldn't figure out Dongfang Shuo's thoughts. Did he say the opposite, afraid that he would attack Daban, or provoke him to attack Daban?

The Right Xianwang saw with his own eyes that it was in Daban City. Its danger was beyond the reach of Kucha City. He also believed that Liang Xiao's strength was stronger than that of Kucha King, but the gap between the two sides was obvious after all, and who dared to say that he would definitely not be able to conquer Daban.

What he was worried about was Lie Jiaomi and Aliusu.

The messenger sent to Wusun came back and brought him a reply that was not very satisfactory. Wusun sent a batch of cattle and sheep, but it was far from meeting his requirements. Wusun's reason was that the Han people bought a large number of cattle and sheep first, resulting in limited cattle and sheep in various countries, and the prices were high, so they could not raise enough money. The Youxian King also heard of this, but he still could not be sure of the loyalty of Huojiaomi.

According to the envoy, Liejiaomi himself was not in Chigu City, and the one who came forward to meet Liejiaomi's Yan clan, Aruikan of the Hunxie King's tribe. The Right Xian King did not doubt Aruikan. After all, she was a Hun, but why did Liejiaomi avoid it? Is he waiting for an opportunity?

As for Aliusu, let alone. There is no way to hear such a big war in Kucha, he cannot hear any wind. He must have been hiding somewhere, waiting for the opportunity for a fatal blow.

What should I do if these two people rushed out when he was attacking Dazaka?

The Right Xianwang looked at Dongfang Shuo again, wanting to speak but stopping. He really appreciated Dongfang Shuo's courage and talent, but he also knew that before killing Liang Xiao, Dongfang Shuo could not truly surrender to him, even if he promised the throne.

After all, he was not the Central Bank of China. The Right Xianwang was both proud and a little unwilling to accept it. He was about to say something, but a burst of cheers came from a distance.

The Huns captured the outer city of Kucha and opened the city gate, and countless soldiers flocked in.

The Right King quickly ordered, "Send the order, no one shall damage Mr. Dongfang's carriage. If there is any damage, I will peel him off."

The messenger responded, ran out and passed the order to the soldiers ahead.

Dongfang Shuo turned over and jumped out of the cart and stretched. "Haha, I can finally ride my own cart again. This broken cart makes me feel sore and have no demeanor."-
