Chapter 264 Gao Family Courtyard
The heavy night enveloped the Gao family compound. The candlelight in the meeting room flickered, reflecting Gao Xingchen's anxious face. General Li had been gone for a long time, but there was still no news from Nan Li. Gao Xingchen's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, making him almost unable to breathe.
"Master, you haven't slept for a whole day and night. You should take a rest first." Advisor Sun said with concern, holding a bowl of ginseng soup.
Gao Xingchen shook his head, his eyes never leaving the door, "I'm fine. As long as Nanli doesn't come back, I won't be at ease for a moment."
Advisor Sun wanted to persuade him again, but Gao Xingchen raised his hand to stop him, "No need to say more, I know what I am doing."
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Gao Xingchen stood up suddenly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "But Nanli is back?"
However, the person who appeared at the door was not Nan Li, but the scarred Gao family head and Elder Lin.
"Father! Elder Lin! What are you doing..." Gao Xingchen was shocked and hurried forward to support the two men.
"Xingchen, we are fine. We just suffered some minor injuries." The head of the Gao family waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, but his tone was unusually solemn. "Miss Nanli...she stayed behind alone to cover our retreat."
"What?!" Gao Xingchen felt his eyes go dark and he almost fainted. He never thought that Nan Li would risk her life to save them!
"Miss Nanli is a lucky person. Nothing will happen to her!" Advisor Sun hurriedly spoke to comfort her.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Advisor Sun is right. Nanli is a skilled martial artist and won't get into trouble easily. What we need to do now is to find her as soon as possible!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and then a cold voice rang in everyone's ears: "I'm back."
Gao Xingchen suddenly looked up and saw a familiar figure slowly walking into the conference room. It was Nan Li!
Her clothes were disheveled and her body was covered with scars, but her eyes were still firm and clear, as if no difficulties could defeat her.
"Nanli!" Gao Xingchen could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He rushed forward and hugged Nanli tightly in his arms.
Nan Li's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, leaning lightly on Gao Xingchen's chest, feeling his warm embrace and rapid heartbeat.
"I'm fine, sorry to have made you worry." Nan Li's voice was a little weak, but full of tenderness and affection.
Gao Xingchen let go of Nan Li and looked at her pale face and the scars on her body, feeling distressed. "You are injured. Sit down and rest."
Nan Li shook her head. "I can still hold on. Let me finish my work first."
As she spoke, she took out a cloth bag from her bosom and handed it to Gao Xingchen, "This contains some important information about the Zhao family, which should be helpful for our next move."
Gao Xingchen took the bag, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration. He knew that Nan Li must have paid a huge price to get this information.
"Nanli, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!" Gao Xingchen's eyes became sharp and his tone was full of murderous intent.
Gao Xingchen tightly grasped the cloth bag in his hand. Nan Li brought back not only intelligence, but also hope, which was the key to turning the tide of the war. He nodded solemnly, "I promise you, I will not let your efforts go to waste."
The head of the Gao family has been watching all this silently. Nanli's efforts and Gao Xingchen's determination have deeply shocked him. In the past, he was worried about the suspicion and contradictions within the family, but now, he sees unity, hope, and the future.
"Children," the head of the Gao family said in a hoarse voice, but his tone was very firm. "Miss Nanli risked her life for the safety of the family. I will always remember this friendship. Xingchen, your determination and responsibility also make me feel gratified."
He looked around at everyone, his eyes sparkling, "Now that the Zhao family is pressing forward step by step, our Gao family has nowhere to retreat. However, we are not fighting alone, the friendship between Miss Nanli and Xingchen is our strongest backing! I declare that from today on, the Gao family will fight to the death with the Zhao family at all costs!"
The declaration of the head of the Gao family was like a raging fire, instantly igniting everyone's fighting spirit. In the meeting room, the crowd was furious, everyone clenched their fists, and their eyes flashed with determination.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!" The deafening roar resounded throughout the Gao family compound and echoed for a long time.
Nan Li looked at the scene in front of her, with a gratified smile on her face. She knew that the Gao family was ready to meet the challenge, and she would fight side by side with them until the last moment.
Advisor Sun took the supplies that Nan Li brought back, carefully counted them, and a smile of surprise appeared on his face. Among these supplies, there were not only a large number of spiritual stones and rare medicinal materials, but also some rare treasures that he had never heard of.
"Master," Strategist Sun said excitedly, "These supplies came just in time! With these, I can refine more powerful defensive magic weapons and greatly enhance our family's defense capabilities!"
Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up, "Then I'll have to trouble Advisor Sun! I believe that with your help, we will be able to resist the attack of the Zhao family!"
Advisor Sun nodded and turned to the intense work of refining the weapon. He knew that time was running out and he had to race against time to build the strongest defense fortress for the Gao family.
At the same time, General Li also began to train the family army. He knew that relying on defensive magic weapons alone could not completely resist the attack of the Zhao family. Only by improving the combat quality and coordination ability of the family army could they achieve the final victory in the next decisive battle.
Under the cover of night, the Gao family compound was brightly lit, and everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle. A tense and solemn atmosphere spread in the air, foreshadowing that a battle that would determine fate was about to begin...
The Gao family is like a sophisticated machine, running at high speed under the pressure of the family's survival. General Li is responsible for training the family army. He knows that defensive magic weapons alone cannot completely resist the Zhao family's wolfish ambitions. Only by training the family army into an iron lion that is both offensive and defensive and obeys orders can we tear open the enemy's throat in the next decisive battle and win the final victory.
On the training ground, shouts of killing shook the sky and dust flew. General Li, wearing armor and holding a spear, personally gave instructions. Every movement was full of power and beauty, as if he was performing an art show. Sometimes he roared like thunder to correct the soldiers' mistakes; sometimes he whispered to impart practical experience. Under his strict requirements and careful teaching, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Gao family army were significantly improved.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers' roars resounded through the sky. There was a determination in their eyes. Everyone was ready to fight for the family honor and for survival.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood on the height of the family's territory, looking into the distance, their hearts filled with hope and determination for the future. In the distance, the continuous mountains were winding and undulating like a giant dragon, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the mountains and forests, dyeing everything with a layer of golden glory.
"Xingchen, we will definitely win, right?" Nanli asked softly. There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, but more of determination.
Gao Xingchen held her hand and said firmly: "Yes, we will win! We have the most loyal family, the most powerful allies, and you, and that is enough."
Nanli smiled slightly. She knew that Gao Xingchen was right. They already had the most precious thing.
At this moment, a white dove flew in from the horizon, circled a few times, and finally landed on Gao Xingchen's shoulder. Gao Xingchen took the letter box off the dove's feet, opened it, and his face suddenly became solemn.
"What's wrong?" Nan Li noticed his abnormality and asked with concern.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and said slowly: "We received a secret letter, which said..." His voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared in the wind.
Nan Li's heart was in her throat. She had a vague feeling that the content of this letter might change the course of the entire battle.
"What did the letter say?" she asked anxiously.
Gao Xingchen was silent for a moment, and finally handed the letter to Nan Li, "Read it yourself."
Nan Li took the letter and read it carefully. Her expression kept changing with the content of the letter, sometimes shocked, sometimes confused, sometimes angry...
"This...how is this possible?" When she read the last word, she couldn't help but exclaim.
What exactly is written in this mysterious letter? How will it affect the upcoming decisive battle? What choices will Gao Xingchen and Nan Li make?
As night falls, the Gao family compound is brightly lit. After receiving the mysterious letter, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li immediately summoned the core members of the family to discuss the battle plan. A meeting that will determine the fate of the Gao family is about to begin...
