Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

The goatee sneered and turned his face away: "The current dog emperor of Daliang killed my family indiscriminately, even my three-year-old son was not spared. I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood!"

"All your spies have been killed by Gu Xingyan. Believe it or not."

Ava: "Who are the young man and the two girls who entered the military camp this morning?"

"That man is the son of Duke Shu. One of the two girls is his sister. I don't know the other one, but they seem to be lovers, judging by their close relationship. His sister also has an unusual relationship with Gu Xingyan."

Ava curled the corners of his mouth. If it was true as he said, that Gu Xingyan did not forget to bring women with him for pleasure while marching to war, then he was not worthy of the king's attention.

He stared at the goatee with cold eyes and snorted, "You are lying! Everyone knows that your new emperor of Daliang has issued a new decree that women can enter the military camp."

"Ha." The goateed man sneered and straightened his body. "Whether he is lying or not, we will know in five hours. Since the great general Wang doesn't believe me, then just kill me."

"Okay, I'll grant you your wish. Come, take this Daliang soldier away and kill him."

The soldier who was kicked out limped in, grabbed his collar and dragged him out.

The man with the goatee did not resist and followed him out of the command camp. Everything he said was true, except that the fact that Gu Xingcheng killed his entire family was fabricated.

There was no other way. The lives of the whole family were in the hands of His Royal Highness Prince Chen. They wanted Gu Xingyan to die here. He had no choice but to do this, even if it cost him his life.

Having already left the tent, the lame soldier raised the knife in his hand.

Goatee knelt on the ground and closed his eyes. He was gambling, gambling with his own life.

He bet that Ava would believe him, and that he could kill Gu Xingyan in Yongzhou City.

The lame soldier swung his knife with all his might, slashing straight at the goateed man's neck.

At this critical moment, there was a clang, and the knife in the lame soldier's hand fell to the ground, but the man with goatee barely managed to save his life.

Beads of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead and his whole body was trembling, but he won the bet.

"Bring him in." Seeing that he was really not afraid of death, Ava thought what he said was true.

The lame soldier had no choice but to drag the man back.

The man with goatee was gasping for breath and he almost met the King of Hell.

Ava looked at him: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"No one is not afraid of death. People are born with only one life. But everything I said is true. Even if the great general Wang really wants to kill me, I can't do anything about it."

Ava casually threw another stone in his hand to the ground and looked at him sideways: "What is the specific battle plan?"

The goatee shook his head: "I don't know that. I'm not a general or a deputy general. How can I know the battle plan?"

Ava looked straight at him with a pair of hawk-like eyes.

"I'm just a janitor. When they came out of the commander's tent, I heard one of them say something like it was originally scheduled for two days, but it was suddenly changed to tomorrow morning."

Ava stepped forward and patted his face: "If this is true, I will make you a general in the Zhao army. If you dare to lie..."

The goatee smiled faintly and pushed his neck in front of him: "You can continue to chop me into pieces and feed me to the dogs. You should be careful of the daughter of Duke Shu. They said she studied under Master Sanqing."

Ava naturally knows the Three Pure Ones.

Ava waved his hand and had Goatee taken away, and ordered someone to keep an eye on him.

His subordinates asked him, "General Wang, how credible are the words of this man?"

Ava did not answer immediately, but ordered someone to find out more.

Then he said: "Even if it is only one point trustworthy, we must be fully prepared. Someone come."

Ava shouted, and a man came in: "Order the soldiers on the tower to strengthen the guard, and send a signal immediately if there is any news."

"Yes."

"Send out my General's Saker Falcon."

"Yes."

He paced back and forth in front of the map, remembering that before he left, the king had held his hand tightly and told him not to underestimate the enemy and not to take it lightly just because Gu Xingyan had just been found.

No general sent by Daliang should be feared, except Gu Xingyan.

During the years when he was not in Daliang's Sijiu City, he must have studied under some great master, and it is even very likely that he had been concealing his identity and training in the army of a general.

The new ruler of Daliang must have ulterior motives.

Now that I think about it, no matter whether what this goat said is true or false, at least Gu Xingyan is definitely not easy to deal with.

On the contrary, he knew for sure that the enemy had no food and would not dare to fight rashly, so he wanted to take him down in one fell swoop.

"All officers, listen up and get ready for battle!"

"Yes!"

After several people left the main tent, they immediately prepared to leave. They always felt that there was something strange about this matter.

How could a Daliang soldier leave the barracks so easily?

The 300,000 troops of Daliang have just arrived at Yongzhou City not long ago. At this moment, the soldiers and horses are extremely tired. Wouldn't it be suicide to fight now?

But the orders of the great general Wang must be obeyed.

Not long after, the deputy general who was testing the crossbows came back and said, "Great General, there is no problem with the ten crossbows. I have tested each one at least ten times, firing twenty arrows at once, and there is no problem with the power and accuracy."

Ava nodded: "Tell them to hurry up and build five more."

"Yes."

The sky was pitch black, without a single star. The cold wind blew on everyone's faces like a knife. Only a few torches were burning on the city walls, illuminating a small area in front.

The people of Daliang were so powerful that they burned everything that could be burned before the city fell.

The guards in the city stamped their feet in the cold. Some of them looked up at the sky. The days in the north were too short, and it was estimated that it would take at least six hours before the day would gradually get light. After blowing on their hands, they quickly wrapped their padded jackets tightly around themselves.

"Be on emergency alert, Daliang soldiers are coming at midnight!"

"Be on emergency alert, Daliang soldiers are coming at midnight!"

The sleepy guard was awakened by the shouts, which became louder and louder. He immediately straightened up and looked forward.

The general guarding the tower hurried out of the duty room, wearing his clothes, and saw the attendant beside Ava saying to him: "The general has ordered that the towers be on alert. The Daliang army is likely to attack at midnight!"

"Yes!" The general immediately ordered his men to wake up all the soldiers who were resting, load arrows on the crossbows, get the archers ready, and start deploying full defenses immediately.

The ten newly made crossbows were also ready to be fired.

At this moment, Li Shuangwan set out an hour earlier than originally planned, taking a dozen people with the best light skills and galloping on horseback. They captured many spies from the Zhao Kingdom along the way.

When they were still several hundred meters away from Huaizhou City, she waved her hand, and everyone dismounted, crouched and quickly advanced towards the Huaizhou city gate.

However, from a distance, torches could be seen flickering on the city walls of Huaizhou City.

Before she set out, she heard from Yongzhou's defender Wu Peikun that before Huaizhou City fell, everything that could be burned was burned, and not even the tung oil that could help combustion was left.
