Hearing the sound, Lu Xiuyuan looked towards the city and saw two soldiers escorting a woman into the city street opposite the city gate.

The woman was wearing light purple clothes and was tied up tightly. She was struggling and twisting her body.

Lu Xiuyuan could only see the woman's back, but he felt that it was very familiar, just like...

At this time, the two soldiers escorted the woman to turn a corner, and the woman's profile was exposed to Lu Xiuyuan's sight.

Lu Xiuyuan looked carefully and his eyes suddenly opened wide. He felt as if he was struck by lightning and his head was buzzing.

"Yunan!!"

He couldn't help but scream out in surprise, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.

That’s right, the two people he saw being escorted by soldiers in the city were Xia Younan!

"Princess? How could he..." Su Yu and Chen Yi obviously also saw it, and looked at Lu Xiuyuan in astonishment.

Seeing the treasure at the top of his heart being tied up and taken away by the enemy, Lu Xiuyuan's proud rationality collapsed instantly. He raised his arms and shouted with red eyes: "Enter the city! Follow me!"

After he finished speaking, he rode his horse towards the city first.

"rush!"

The rest of the soldiers also waved flags and shouted, following closely with great fanfare.

At this time, the two soldiers had already taken Xia Younan away. Lu Xiuyuan didn't bother to arrange the soldiers behind him, and rode his horse like crazy in the direction they left!

Fortunately, Su Yu still had his sanity. After entering the city, he calmly looked around and told the soldiers, "Spread out and look around the city to see if there are any uninhabited people or suspicious clues. Remember, if you encounter civilians, do not harm innocent people."

"Yes!" The soldiers agreed and divided into small teams to patrol.

On the other side, Lu Xiuyuan rode a fast horse in the city for an incense stick of time and finally saw the figures of the three people at the end of an alley.

"Damn it!" Lu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and cursed, then jumped up from his horse, used his lightness skills to fly in front of the two men, drew out his sword and swung it fiercely. The two men didn't even scream before their heads rolled to the ground.

"Younan!" After dealing with the two people, he hurriedly pulled out the rag stuffed in Xia Younan's mouth, cut the ropes on her body with a sword, and hugged her in his arms with heartache.

"Oh my God, it's really you, how could you..." Lu Xiuyuan was frightened, his words were incoherent, and his body was shaking slightly.

Xia Younan did not greet him, but pushed his arms away and said to him anxiously, "Husband, hurry up! Get out of the city quickly and don't let the soldiers in."

Lu Xiuyuan was startled and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, there's no time to explain, let's get out quickly!" Xia Younan said anxiously, then pulled his arm and ran towards the city gate.

As soon as the two of them left the alley, they saw Su Yu galloping over on horseback in a hurry. When he saw Lu Xiuyuan, his face flushed and he shouted, "Marshal, we've fallen into a trap. There are soldiers coming from outside the city!"

Lu Xiuyuan's face changed and he asked hurriedly, "How many people?"

"You can't see the end of the city wall. The initial estimate is about 100,000!"

Lu Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately made a decision, "Quick! Close the city gate! Have all the soldiers take their weapons and go up to the city wall to defend!"

"Yes!" Su Yu received the order and left.

"Let's go too!" Lu Xiuyuan also ran to the city wall impatiently to check.

Fortunately, the more than 100,000 troops were so powerful that the soldiers in the city noticed them early and closed all the city gates before they approached, temporarily isolating the danger.

Lu Xiuyuan climbed up the city wall and looked down from a high vantage point, and saw that the city was surrounded by soldiers and horses.

There were countless soldiers and horses, and wherever you looked, you could see a sea of ​​people. They were strong and well-armed, and they stood in neat formation in front of the city gate. Against the backdrop of the setting sun and the yellow sand, they looked majestic and murderous.

"Damn it, I really fell into the trap!" Lu Xiuyuan punched the top of the solid city wall, feeling extremely annoyed.

"Your Highness, they have surrounded the entire city. We estimate that our numbers are less than half of theirs. What should we do?" Chen Yi came to Lu Xiuyuan and asked for his advice.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything. He squinted his eyes and stared at the front line of the army outside the city, trying to see who the other side's commander was.

Before he could ask, the people below saw him, and the leading marshal laughed triumphantly with his head raised.

"Hahaha, the legendary God of War, I've heard of you for a long time! It's just a pity that such a powerful person can be controlled by a woman. My prince is really as good as a god."

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and looked at Xia Younan behind him with a questioning look.

Xia Younan's face was full of self-blame, and she explained guiltily: "I'm sorry, husband, it was Ye Beimo who took advantage of my unpreparedness and plotted against me, and then brought me here.

"He knew that we were deeply in love, so he devised this plan and had me escort you into the city, catching you in a trap."

"Ye Beimo, it's Ye Beimo again!" Lu Xiuyuan was furious after hearing this. His fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound. He wished he could tear Ye Beimo into pieces immediately.

"Alas, Younan has always been cautious and intelligent, how could he be easily captured here by Ye Beimo?" Lu Xiuyuan put his arm around Xia Younan's shoulders and sighed sadly.

"Uh...it's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark..." Xia Younan tried to explain, his eyes a little evasive.

"I'm sorry, husband. It's my fault that you and the soldiers are trapped. I am such a sinner."

Lu Xiuyuan patted her shoulder and comforted her warmly, “Don’t blame you, baby, you didn’t mean it.

I cared too much about you. When I saw you being captured, I lost my mind and made the wrong decision, which led to the siege of the three armies."

"Thank you, my husband, for your understanding." Xia Younan murmured with her head down, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at her and felt a little strange. Why did he feel that his Younan was a little more delicate and delicate?

Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan didn't respond, Hu Tianda on the tower couldn't help but start provoking him, "Lu Xiuyuan, right? I'm Hu Tianda, do you have anything to say about this situation?"

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at him and said coldly, "All is fair in war. I have nothing to say."

"Haha, Your Majesty, you know how to handle things. I admire you. Why don't you lead your troops to open the city gates and surrender? Then we can be friends, okay?" Hu Tianda discussed with him excitedly.

Lu Xiuyuan said expressionlessly, "The soldiers I led will only die in battle or return victoriously, not surrender!"

Hu Tianda's face was grim, and he reminded loudly: "We have 160,000 people, and your number is less than half of ours. If you don't surrender, you will die!"

Lu Xiuyuan sneered and asked, "Being surrounded and outnumbered means we will definitely lose, right? It's too early for the Marshal to say that!"

Hu Tianda was a little irritated by his nonchalant attitude and angrily asked, "What else? Do you have any other way to break through the siege?"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and replied, "If we can't get out, then you can't get in either. My Lingjiang Kingdom has more than just tens of thousands of soldiers in the city."

"You want to wait for reinforcements? If we attack the city now, we will definitely break through the city before your reinforcements arrive!" Hu Tianda screamed at the top of his voice.
