Arrows streaked across the sky, leaving behind long parabolas, and finally fell vertically to the ground.

With a "pop" sound, the arrow penetrated deeply into the ground, scaring the warhorse that had just run close to it and making it neigh continuously.

The knight immediately gripped the reins tightly to stabilize the frightened horse, then looked up towards the top of the city.

The squad leader was standing on the top of the city wall, holding the arrow slit with one hand, and shouted loudly: "If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you without mercy!"

He's quite handsome. Is this guy's archery so accurate?

Duan Tianyang had only seen this kind of scene in TV dramas, where had he ever seen it in real life?

With this level of skill, he would definitely win a gold medal if he participated in the Olympics!

Duan Tianyang couldn't help but look at the squad leader twice, with an expression of surprise and admiration on his face.

Just an arrow's throw away from Xiguan City, the knights outside the city reined in their horses and hesitated. He shouted in a loud voice: "Let your city lord and city guard come out to talk to me!"

Hearing the knight's call, the sergeant turned and looked at Duan Tianyang with a questioning look in his eyes.

Why are you looking at me? He's not calling me!

Duan Tianyang frowned. Although he thought so in his heart, he still curiously stretched his head to look outside the city.

Before he made a decision, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him: "Master Su is here!"

Following the call, Su Wen walked steadily up the stairs to the top of the wall.

Behind him followed Li Qing and seven other battalion guards, and behind these seven people came a large number of soldiers, who came like a tide with great momentum.

Su Wen was still somewhat tired, with a slightly dissatisfied look on his face. He muttered in a low voice: "Who is so tactless to come and cause trouble so early in the morning..."

As he moved forward, he came to the arrowhead and looked out. The scene in front of him made him wake up instantly.

The huge crowds of people surged like a wave, which made him feel terrified.

"Where did all these foreign bandits come from?" Su Wen widened his eyes, all the sleepiness on his face gone, revealing a look of shock.

Duan Tianyang glanced at him, with a hint of a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Sir Su, someone is looking for you outside the city."

Su Wen looked down and saw a knight from the Western Fan Kingdom in front of the city gate not far away.

He glanced at them twice, then held the crossbow in his hand and shouted at the top of his voice: "I am the chief of the Xiguan City Guard!"

Hearing this, the knight urged his horse to approach slowly.

He came to the city gate, looked up at Su Wen, and shouted, "Two days ago, a merchant caravan from my Wild Wolf Tribe was robbed in Xiguan City. All the goods were looted, and all the tribesmen were killed. This time, I came here only to force Xiguan City to hand over the murderer!"

When Duan Tianyang and others heard this, they immediately understood the reason behind the matter.

It goes without saying that the caravan must be the one that Su Wen secretly sent people to intercept and kill.

Now that trouble has come to you, let’s see how you die!

Duan Tianyang had a gloating expression on his face, while Guan Hu and Xiao Fang stared at Su Wen angrily.

They knew clearly that Su Wen not only secretly sent people to assassinate Tian Ge, but also caused such a big trouble to Xiguan City.

Su Wen pretended to be surprised and said loudly: "How could such a thing happen? Don't worry, I will find out the truth as soon as possible, arrest the murderer and give your tribe a satisfactory explanation."

The knight sat on his horse and shouted threateningly, "We will only give you one hour at most. If you still can't hand over the murderer within one hour, we will start to attack the city!"

Hearing this, Su Wen's brows furrowed into a "川" shape. He thought for a moment, looked around at the battalion guard leader beside him, and asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"

Li Qing approached Su Wen and whispered, "This time the Wild Wolf Tribe has joined forces with other tribes to attack us aggressively. The situation is so big that I'm afraid today's incident will not end well."

"I'm asking you if you have any solution!" Su Wen interrupted Li Qing dissatisfiedly.

Li Qing thought for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he suggested: "Sir, perhaps we can just grab some people from the city and hand them over as scapegoats."

Su Wen was so angry that his nose was crooked when he heard this. He shouted angrily: "Just arrest some people? Do you think you can get away with it? Are they as stupid as you and unable to see the trick?"

It is obvious that this time the Wild Wolf Tribe is determined to find the real murderer.

Seeing that the other six battalion guards were silent, Su Wen lowered his head, thought deeply for a moment, and said helplessly: "Pass the order, the enemy has a large number of people, we abandon the city and retreat!"

Duan Tianyang couldn't believe his ears. He turned his head and stared at Su Wen as if he was a lunatic.

As the chief of the city guards of Xiguan City, you're going to run away without firing a single shot?

In some modern countries, deserters would be shot.

"Lord Su, did I hear it wrong or did you say it wrong?" Duan Tianyang's voice was full of disbelief.

Su Wen glanced at him, spread his hands, and revealed a helpless tone: "Brother Duan, you have seen the situation outside the city. There are so many foreign bandits. If they really launch a strong attack, how can we defend it? As long as the green mountains are there, there will be no shortage of firewood."

Li Qing nodded in agreement and added seriously, "Your Excellency is right. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. This is not the first time we have faced such a situation. They usually occupy the place for three to five days and then retreat. We can just come back when the time comes."

Duan Tianyang's eyes wandered between the outside and inside of the city, and he asked solemnly: "What if they don't leave? What should the people in the city do?"

Su Wen responded bluntly: "We can hardly protect ourselves now, how can we spare the energy to care about others? Brother Duan, if you choose to stay, you will only die."

Duan Tianyang wanted to stay and seek death, which was something he wished for. He wished Duan Tianyang would die soon.

He shouted to the soldiers around him: "What are you still hesitating about? Follow me and evacuate!"

This shout was like a bolt from the blue. The soldiers around woke up as if from a dream, and they all took action and rushed towards the city.

Damn it! He's running away before the fight even starts. If this gets out, how can I, the leader of the Hongxing Society, survive?

No! Maybe this is a good opportunity to make a name for myself in Xiguan City...

Beat a fight, bike change bike!

Fuck you, just die!

Duan Tianyang drew his sword, made up his mind, and jumped down from the high city wall without any warning.

This scene shocked everyone present, and screams rang out one after another.

You should know that the city wall of Xiguan City is 36 feet high, which is about 12 meters in modern terms.

If a martial artist jumps from such a height, even if he has armor to protect his body, he will inevitably be injured.

What's more, Duan Tianyang has not yet completed the transformation of his armor, and his actions are simply seeking death!
