I am a ruler in troubled times

Ever since he mentioned to Mr. Dong that he would send a caravan of 800 people to Chu State through Yi County, Song Peiyu secretly mobilized the people and goods of the caravan.

Because there are a lot of people and goods, it is inevitable that the merchants who are still in the strange goods city and have not had time to leave have seen some movement.

Odds City is different from other places.

The City Lord's Mansion is all about making money. As long as the foreign merchants don't do anything that endangers the security of the Odd Goods City, no matter what they talk about, the City Lord's Mansion will not interfere.

The people who met the city lord's mansion drank too much alcohol, lost their minds, and even discussed with the merchants to reveal more accurate information.

Afterwards, the City Lord's Mansion will only punish the population of the City Lord's Mansion for being unobstructed, and will still not cause trouble for the merchants.

Therefore, merchants prefer to stay in the Odd Goods City while talking or predicting the behavior of the City Lord's Mansion in private.

Master Dong endured the pain in his heart, and spent a lot of money to quietly inquire about the news from the merchants and the managers of the strange goods city.

Through them, they learned that most of the people Song Peiyu was gathering were stewards, shopkeepers and workers in the strange goods city.

At the same time, the city lord's mansion was also mobilizing goods, and the purchase restrictions in the strange goods city suddenly became more excessive. Song Peiyu also raised the price of goods purchased from merchants, especially favoring goods from Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

Hearing these news, Master Dong was completely relieved.

He can be trusted by Emperor Wei, and even 10 taels of gold can be handed over to him in advance, so naturally he also has tokens that can do things cheaply.

Master Dong immediately asked people to go to Yi County with the token, and informed the magistrate of Yi County and the garrison chief that there would be a caravan from the Rare Goods City going to Yi County in the next few days, and told them not to embarrass the caravan.

After receiving 10 taels of gold and jade seals, Song Peiyu organized a caravan in just three days, and offered to ask Mr. Dong to choose a time for the caravan to enter Yi County.

Mr. Dong, who had been at a disadvantage in the negotiations with Soong Peiyu for a long time, finally saw Soong Peiyu voluntarily backing down, and at the same time, he was looking forward to seeing Soong Peiyu's angry and remorseful appearance after the dust settled.

In addition, Mr. Dong was anxious to let the eighth prince die early, so that Emperor Wei's throne could be stabilized as soon as possible.

Without hesitation, he set the day for the caravan from the Rare Goods City to enter Yi County in two days, and asked Song Peiyu to kill the eighth prince within five days, and find a reason why the eighth prince's death could not involve Wei Guo.

When the caravan set off from Qihuo City, Mr. Dong not only went to see them off in person, but also quietly confirmed that the items in the carriage were indeed goods.

Moreover, the wealthy merchants in the Odd Goods City also went to watch the excitement, and they began to worry very presciently. If the Odd Goods City started to organize its own caravan, wouldn't they have nothing to eat?

So the merchants returned to their residences to count the goods and gold and silver in their hands, and made up their minds to exchange all the silver and goods on their bodies for things from the strange goods city before leaving.

Standing on the city wall, Song Peiyu still couldn't bear to look away after watching the caravan go away, until the black spots in the distance completely disappeared, then she half-drowned her head sleepily.

Standing beside Song Peiyu, Mr. Dong had a happy smile on his face, but he had endured Song Peiyu for so long, so naturally he didn't mind bearing with Song Peiyu again when he was about to succeed.

"Master Song is worried about the caravan?" Master Dong asked knowingly.

Song Peiyu nodded honestly.

Mr. Dong blurted out his good words, "You have made so many arrangements for the caravan, and you will definitely allow the caravan to reach its goal without hindrance."

The corner of Song Peiyu's mouth curled up slightly, and he cupped his hands to Master Dong, "Then I will accept your good words."

The two came down the city wall, and Song Peiyu suddenly said, "I thought that the Eighth Prince would return to the Kingdom of Wei soon, so I couldn't help but feel reluctant. I want to hold a banquet in the main hall of the palace tomorrow night to entertain the Eighth Prince and the envoys of the State of Wei. Have time?"

Mr. Dong was overjoyed, "Of course I live up to Mr. Song's kindness."

He knew that Song Peiyu would not do anything tomorrow night, because the news that the Qihuo City caravan entered and left Yi County would not come back until three days at the earliest.

But no matter what Song Peiyu had in mind, he wanted to invite the Eighth Prince to a banquet tomorrow, which meant that he didn't need to urge him too much. Song Peiyu had already taken their deal into his heart.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the banquet came.

Song Peiyu not only wore the full court attire of the third-rank crown prince's guests, but also wore an extremely luxurious oriental bead crown on her head. When she was not smiling, she was much more majestic than usual.

Lu Jihe was also wearing court clothes, perhaps because the clothes were not as gorgeous as Song Peiyu's. Although there was a smile on his face, the smile didn't reach his eyes, giving people a feeling that there was a knife hidden in the smile.

In contrast, the envoys of the Wei State were not so neatly dressed.

Although when they came to Qihuo City, they each brought court clothes.

But no one reminded them before going to the banquet, so they just wore fine clothes.As soon as he entered the main hall, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe's momentum was firmly suppressed.

In the end, it was the Eighth Prince, or the Shouwang of the State of Wei, who supported the momentum of the envoys of the State of Wei.

After the envoys of the Kingdom of Wei arrived in the city of odd goods, they sent the eighth prince a full set of court clothes and accessories, but the eighth prince never wore them.

In fact, today, the eighth prince doesn't want to dress like this.

Because he always felt that this pro-royal uniform was a mourning garment prepared for him by Wei Guo.

Wearing it on the body adds bad luck for no reason.

It's a pity that King Shou didn't dare to resist Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe, so he could only let the servants around him dress up, and secretly prayed that today would not be his last supper.

Worried about his life, King Shou kept a serious face all the time, and with his gorgeous pro-dynasty clothes, he was quite capable of bluffing.

At the banquet, the first place was suspended, and everyone lined up on the left and right.

After drinking for three rounds, Song Peiyu suddenly said that Zhao Guo is willing to release King Shou to return to Wei Guo, hoping that the two countries can maintain friendship and be as close as one family.

King Shou listened to the first half of the sentence, and when Song Peiyu agreed with him to return to Weiguo, his heart was beating wildly.

After hearing the second half of the sentence, a strange emotion suddenly overshadowed the fear of death.

It's a pity that King Shou couldn't accurately describe this emotion with poor language, so he could only secretly roll his eyes.

The envoys of the Wei State were overjoyed when they heard the words.

A few days ago, Weiguo sent "Weiguo specialties" to King Shou, not only Song Peiyu, but also Lu Jihe.

It's just that Song Peiyu's share was sent by Mr. Dong, while Lu Jihe's share was sent by the deputy envoy.

They all thought that they were only one step away from achieving the goal of this trip, and that the grand banquet tonight was being practiced by Odds of Goods City.

The atmosphere of the banquet immediately reached the most enthusiastic level.

Weiguoyi County

This is the second day that the Qihuo City caravan entered Yi County.

Although they agreed that the Qihuo City caravan borrowed their way in Yi County, the Yi County defenders suddenly proposed to inspect the goods of the Qihuo City caravan after the Qihuo City caravan entered the gate of Yi County.

After not hesitating for too long, the caravan in Qihuo City discovered that the defenders of Yi County were informing them rather than asking for their opinions.

In other words, they have to agree if they agree, and they have to agree if they disagree.

Therefore, the caravan from the Odd Goods City, which was supposed to leave Yi County today, had to stay in Yi County for an extra day.

Fortunately, although the defenders of Yi County were domineering, they didn't want to tear themselves apart with the Qihuo City caravan.

The process of checking the goods of the Odd Goods City caravan is carried out at the place where the Odd Goods City caravan is temporarily staying.

It's just that after being inspected by the Yi County garrison, the goods will inevitably be 'lost'.

After late at night, the candles in the house were still not completely extinguished, and the people in the room expressed different opinions.

At the beginning, these people still remember whispering, and when they talked about excitement, their voices became louder and louder unconsciously, so that the servants eavesdropping outside the window could easily hear the voices inside.

"I think the Yi County garrison insisted on not allowing us to leave because they wanted to scrape off a layer of oil and water from us because of the money. Didn't you see their faces when they counted the goods during the day? It's almost dripping!"

"Keep your voice down! Mr. Song has said that before we leave Weiguo, we will not be embarrassed. This is the first place we settled in Weiguo. The envoys of Weiguo are still in the strange goods city. Why would the people in Yi County make things difficult for us? You are worrying too much."

"These earthworms, who have never seen anything interesting in their eight hundred lives, can clearly see that there are only two glazed vases in the box after opening the box, and they have to take out the glazed vases and rub them inch by inch, burying the vases, we How can you really sell it for a good price?"

"Hey, a bunch of poor and dirty ghosts! If you accidentally break something, you can't afford to sell their whole family into prostitutes!"

"You can talk about it, what if you are overheard?"

"What am I afraid of? Wei Guo's bums dare to offend Zhao Guo? What a joke!"

……

In the room, the faces of the four or five people who were arguing passionately showed no expression on their faces. Although their postures on the chairs were all kinds of strange, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that their shoulders are always straight and their eyes are very clear.

The man with his back to the window was talking about his excitement, he raised his finger and yelled at the person in front of him, but out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see the young man sitting cross-legged at the kang table drinking wine, his face froze, and he immediately changed his finger .

This person's abrupt and unnatural movements caused ridicules to appear on the faces of the people around him, and the shouting and cursing became more and more intense.

Not to mention sticking to the window to listen, even standing at the gate of the yard, you can still hear a thing or two.

The person sitting cross-legged at the kang table alone is Chong Yi who has removed all the disguise from his body.

He and Yin Bao occupied three quarters of the room, and the other four or five strong men in the room were all gathered around the table, even if there was a 'quarrel', they would always pay attention to it, not daring to spread it to this side.

Yin Bao held the jug in his hand, and poured wine for Chong Yi with a low eyebrow.

Chong Yi's drinking speed is not fast, at least it doesn't give people the feeling of alcoholism.

In other words, a person with a pleasing appearance is pleasing to the eye no matter what he does.

The last drop of wine from the jug fell into the glass, but the glass was only a third full.

Chong Yi raised his eyelids and looked at Yin Bao urgently.

Yin Bao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The master said that he is only allowed to drink three jugs of wine a day."

Chong Yi suddenly let out a chuckle, put the warm wine glass in his hand on the table, and changed from sitting cross-legged on the Kang table to lying on his back, half-closed his eyes, as if he was already drunk.

Yin Bao boldly poured the remaining half glass of wine on the ground, seeing that Chong Yi didn't respond, he put down the empty wine jug, and was going to find a small blanket to cover Chong Yi in the cubicle.

He had just lifted the curtain of the compartment when he suddenly heard noisy voices coming from the yard and getting closer.

The brawny men who were 'arguing' also heard the voices in the yard. Instead of restraining themselves, they quarreled more intensely and even started to fight.

Chong Yi didn't know when he changed from a posture of slumping on the kang to a posture of lying on his side on the kang, squinting at the brawny men arguing.

So after Li Xiuzhu kicked the door aggressively and came in, his eyes and attention were all attracted by Chong Yi, and he completely forgot the reason why he ran here in a rage.

Fortunately, the people behind Li Xiuzhu still remembered the purpose of coming, and snapped, "Bold! How dare you maliciously speculate on General Li?!"

The burly men sitting around the table were startled, subconsciously stood up from their chairs, and looked at the person who rushed in panicked.

The most vivid expression of guilty conscience.

Holding a small box the size of a palm, Yin Bao strode from behind to the front, and asked with a surprised face, "Who are you?"

The person beside Li Xiuzhu snorted coldly, "This is General Li's son! You..."

A small ball of red thread suddenly appeared on the forehead of the person who was speaking. He took two steps back and fell down against the blood line spreading from the small red thread with a blank face.

It turned out that the red thread ball was tied to the decoration of the little finger on the slender triangular dart. Everyone could only see the red thread ball because the dart had completely disappeared into the speaker's forehead.

At the same time, there were other people beside Li Xiuzhu who fell down, only Li Xiuzhu who hadn't realized what was wrong was still staring at Chong Yi bewilderedly.

It's so pretty when a beauty shakes her hands, if she can change into a water sleeve...

Chong Yi looked at the strong man with the same demented face, and the silver treasure that had already opened the small box in his hand to reveal the gold ingot inside, and asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you waiting for?"

Everyone reacted immediately.

Except Yin Bao took a few steps back and silently closed the box in his hand.

Everyone else was looking towards Li Xiuzhu like a hungry tiger rushing towards food, and he was about to see what happened to the fallen person under his feet.

"Come on...!" Li Xiuzhu just realized that the people under his feet were not breathing, and was about to exclaim, but his arms and shoulders were twisted by the strong men, and a handkerchief was stuffed into his mouth.

Poor Li Xiuzhu, although he is a dude, has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is so infatuated with beauties that he has no power to resist.

Li Xiuzhu was startled and terrified in his heart, struggling frantically on the ground.

It's a pity that no matter how he resisted, the strong man on top of him didn't move at all, and even reached out and patted his face gently, "Be honest!"

As the son of General Li, when did Li Xiuzhu suffer such insults?

Immediately, his eyes were scarlet, and the struggle became more intense.

The strong man pressing Li Xiuzhu snorted coldly, his pure black boots unceremoniously stepped on Li Xiuzhu's hair hanging on the ground, and his palm fell hard on Li Xiuzhu's back, "Be honest!"

Li Xiuzhu suffered from pain and had to calm down temporarily.

The moment the strong men in the room rushed forward, Chong Yi took out a small and delicate golden whistle from his cuff and put it by his mouth.

The moment the sharp and ear-piercing sound sounded, the people who were temporarily resting in the adjacent yard rushed out of the room without a sound, and quickly gathered towards the room where Chong Yi was.

After the people brought by Li Xiuzhu found out that something was wrong, they only lost a few breaths in smashing the door, and then they were surrounded silently.

Chong Yi got up from the kang, picked up the long sword in Yin Bao's hand, and went straight out the door past Li Xiuzhu whose eyes were tearing apart.

The people brought by Li Xiuzhu outside the door have all fallen down, and the people standing in the yard are all from the caravan of the strange goods city. After they saw Chong Yi, they knelt down in unison without a sound.

The caravan departing from the Qihuo City has long since left the range of the Qihuo City, and has changed people. Those who followed Chong Yi into Yi County were all the elite of Murong Jing's subordinates.

Chong Yi didn't look at the person kneeling on the ground, but stared at the wall not far from him.

If someone stood on the roof, they would see a man in servant clothes standing behind the wall, covering his mouth and backing away, stumbling out of the gate.

When the footsteps could not be heard at all, Chong Yi waved his hand.

Yin Bao, who always followed Chong Yi with a candle, immediately lit the cotton thread on the bamboo tube in the other hand.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed above everyone's heads.

Now, because the people brought by Li Xiuzhu were too useless, they fell down without any resistance in Zhao Jun's hands, so the people who didn't find anything wrong also became agitated because of the fireworks.

When the fireworks went completely dark and the commotion outside became louder and louder, Chong Yi's gaze swept over everyone kneeling on the ground, and his deep voice was small, but it seemed to ring in everyone's ears, "Murong Jing just At a place ten miles away from Yi County, if Murong Jing can take down the county government and the city lord's mansion before Murong Jing arrives at the gate of Yi County, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of gold. From now on, I will be a lonely bodyguard."

Although Chong Yi's identity had been known for a long time, it was only at this time that the people kneeling on the ground realized that they were kneeling in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, only one step away from being wealthy.

Everyone's excited breathing increased, their eyes turned red, but they couldn't speak a word.

No one dared to break the silence at this moment, they were afraid of making His Royal Highness unhappy.

Chong Yi was very satisfied with the performance of these people, and he glanced at Li Xiuzhu who was pressed to the ground in a distorted posture and couldn't hide his shock.

He drew out his long sword, threw away the scabbard, and strode towards the closed door.

As Chong Yi kicked open the gate, the 800 people who stood densely together immediately stood up, some followed Chong Yi with Li Xiuzhu, and some ran to other places in an orderly manner without any panic.

After only half a stick of incense, the streets and alleys of Yi County were full of excited shouts.

"The residence of the merchant in the Odd Goods City is on fire!"

"There are gold, silver and precious stones everywhere, just pick up some, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life!"

"No! It was General Li who wanted to swallow the goods of the merchants in the strange goods city. The merchants in the strange goods city were unwilling, so they took the initiative to throw those treasures over the wall. They would rather give them to General Li after they were scattered."

"The whole street is full of gold, silver and jewelry, come out and collect money!"

……

Isn't it just the street where the merchants of Odd Cargo City live?

When Zhao Jun spread the news on a horse, he tied a broken box containing gold, silver beans and low-quality gems behind the horse. Wherever they ran, the gold and silver beans and low-quality gems were scattered.

In addition, there are also boxes containing gold, silver and colored glaze on both sides of the horse's back. The shouter often grabs a handful and throws them to the left and right.

As long as someone walks out of the house, they can pick up money.

Even the Yixian garrison who was chasing after Zhao Jun on horseback would be attracted by the gold, silver and precious stones everywhere on the ground, and unknowingly, there were fewer and fewer people.

The people who were awakened could barely hold on to their feet at first, but they just clung to their own gates and listened to the movement outside.

Some very lucky people will also be hit on the head with gold and silver beans or gemstones.

Once it was confirmed that the gold, silver and jewels were genuine, the common people could no longer restrain their heartbeat and greed, and rushed out of the house with shovels and hoes.

Some small aristocratic families even let the nurses go out to snatch gold, silver and jewelry from the common people.

Within half an hour, Yi County was in complete chaos.

Chong Yi was not in a hurry to go to the city gate, he took Li Xiuzhu to General Li's mansion first.

Before the people in the general's mansion could react, Chong Yi had already broken into the study of the general's mansion with a long sword dripping with blood.

Those who broke in with Chong Yi soon found a secret compartment in the study.

It's a pity that only a small personal seal was found, and the tiger charm was not there.

"It's not good, general, something happened to the eldest son!" The messenger eagerly patted on the door of General Li's room.

The woman's coquettishness and the man's cursing could be heard in the room, but the person who called the door did not dare to stop, so he could only bite the bullet and continue knocking on the door.

The door was opened, and General Li, who was only wearing a pair of trousers, said impatiently, "Which beauty lost his eyes to that bastard again? Give the sufferer more money, don't make things big, let that bastard come to find him tomorrow." I."

After all, General Li wanted to close the door and continue to have fun with the goblin in the house.

The visitor knelt on the ground immediately, and said in a trembling voice, "The eldest son was arrested by the merchants in the strange goods city, and they killed the people around the eldest son."

General Li, who had already turned around, turned his head in disbelief, grabbed the visitor by his collar, and said through gritted teeth, "What did you say?"

General Li soon saw the boy who came to report the letter.

Running from the inner city to the city gate on the edge of Yi County with only two legs, the servant had long since died, and he only passed out with the support of his heart.

He intermittently said to General Li, "The eldest son just wanted to teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful the general's mansion is, but they came prepared. killed."

"Kill them all?" General Li asked.

The boy paused, then shook his head suddenly, and said in pain, "I don't know, I didn't dare to go in, except for the sound at the beginning, there was no one in the yard, there was no sound at all, it must be someone They are all dead, maybe the eldest son also..."

The boy was so excited that he passed out directly.

General Li was about to wake up the boy when he heard someone say, "Green fireworks were suddenly set off in the city just now. Looking in the direction, it is the place where the caravan from the Odd Goods City landed."

General Li immediately fixed his murderous eyes on the speaker, gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier?"

The speaker lowered his head with a pale face.

How dare he disturb General Li who was already resting.

"Don't worry, general. Fortunately, you have sent 2000 people to garrison the inner city for a rainy day. In addition to the yamen servants in the inner city, the number of people is three times that of the caravan in the strange goods city. It is impossible to imagine a big mess." The people in Huafu took the initiative to persuade them, "The caravan from the Odd Goods City wants to get out of Yi County alive, so they won't be too hard-pressed to fight the Eldest Young Master."

General Li didn't feel happy because of this person's persuasion. Instead, his brows became more and more furrowed, and even his eyelids began to twitch wildly.

He knew that his son was not like him since he was a child. He was very greedy for life and afraid of death. Even if he went to trouble the caravan of the strange goods city in a rage, he would bring enough people.

With Li Xiuzhu's character, at least he would go to the county government to bring a small team, plus his own guards, there would be nearly 50 people.

He was able to kill 50 people quietly, without attracting the attention of the guards patrolling near the caravan's residence in Qihuo City, and only allowed the boy who came to report to him to escape.

Either this boy is lying, or the caravan from the Rare Caravan City came prepared.

Thinking of this little servant, General Li became even angrier.

waste!

In a hurry, I just remember to look for him, so why can't I just find a horse?

General Li gritted his teeth and said, "Order troops, I want to take... 2000 people to quell the chaos in the city."

When the other people in the room heard the words, their faces turned pale with shock, and they tried to persuade General Li to think twice.

Since the death of Emperor Wei, the garrison in Yi County has become less and less. After another 8000 people were transferred by Wei Jing a month ago, there were only [-] left.Facing Liangzhou King Rui and Zhao Guo who were staring at him like a tiger, they had to seal off the city to keep safe.

Before General Li transferred 2000 people to the city, he had already taken a great risk. If he sent another 2000 people, there would be only [-] people left at the city gate.

If at this time, someone comes to attack Yi County...

General Li scolded Mr. Dong severely, and shook his head heavily, "The inner city cannot be chaotic."

Those who dissuaded General Li stopped talking and sighed heavily.

They don't know that there can be no chaos in the city. Ever since Wei Jing cut off the supply to Yi County, Yi County can only be self-sufficient and has to raise taxes repeatedly, which makes the people of Yi County complain.

In case of chaos in the inner city, the supply of soldiers in the outer city will be cut off.

At that time, even if no one comes to attack the city, they will not last long.

When General Li finished ordering troops and was about to go to the inner city to check the situation in person, someone from the inner city came to report again.

The caravans of Qihuo City scattered gold and silver on the street, attracting people from the inner city to pour out their nests, regardless of enemy or friend, only gold and silver. are difficult.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, the Qihuo city caravan rushed into the general's mansion and the county government.

General Li raised his horsewhip fiercely, and made a muffled sound in the air, "Where are the garrison troops in the city? What are they doing for food?!"

The person who reported the letter wept bitterly, "After the caravan of the strange goods city made a fool of themselves in the general's mansion, they immediately mixed with the people on the street and ran away. It's hard to move."

General Li sneered.

Even being misunderstood to rob gold and silver?

It is because they are all focused on robbing gold and silver that the people of Odd Goods City will run wild in the city.

Dong Shang!

It's best not to go back to the capital through Yi County for this old thing.

Otherwise, he would never leave Yi County alive!

"There are only 2000 people left on the city wall, and everyone else will leave with me. The inner city cannot be left in chaos!" General Li said immediately.

"But……"

"No but!" General Li forcefully interrupted the person who was about to speak, "Could it be that you have 2000 people and occupy a good location, so you are still afraid of a surprise attack by only 800 people?"

Everyone knew that General Li was in a rage, and they tried their best to wink at the person who spoke just now, for fear that he would make General Li angry again.

In the night, more than 500 people wearing Yi County garrison clothes were riding from the inner city to the outer city on horseback.

The leader tightened the reins without warning, and the horse was frightened and unable to break free from the huge force on its neck, so it could only raise its two front legs in dissatisfaction, and its body almost collapsed into a straight line.

The man on the horse was unmoved, and firmly controlled the horse to stop in place.

The moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds, and the soft moonlight shone on this man's face, which was Chong Yi who had neatly tied his hair on top of his head.

The others didn't have the ability of Chong Yi, so they stopped at places ranging from ten to one hundred steps in front of Chong Yi, and instantly made Chong Yi change from the person at the front to the person at the back.

"Someone is coming, hide first." Before the words finished, Chong Yi had already dismounted from the horse, grabbed the rein forcibly, and Ying dragged the unwilling horse into the woods beside the road.

After everyone hid for a long time, no one was seen passing by.

Immediately, some anxious people began to wink to the left and right. They wanted to reach the city wall before General Murong arrived, successfully sneak into the guards, or fight their way through the guards.

Can't waste too much time here.

Just as most of the people were anxiously looking at the giant tree where Chongyi was hiding, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes in the distance.

The expressions on everyone's faces were shocked.

someone is coming!

The dense crowd quickly passed by the place where Zhao Jun was hiding, and rushed straight towards the inner city.

Zhao Jun on the tree is a seasoned veteran, and he quickly judged the number of these guards.

4000 people!

The most important thing is that General Li is also among them, which means that there is no main general on the city wall of Yi County.

Chong Yi closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk, quietly as if he had fallen asleep.

He felt more and more eyes on him again, but still ignored the meaning of these people.

Someone was really impatient and wanted to find the horse in advance. Just as he was about to get off the tree, he suddenly felt a very oppressive gaze.

He immediately forgot what he wanted to do, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Chong Yi.

Chong Yi's eyes were pitch-black but not half bright, as if they were an abyss that could swallow everything.

It wasn't until Chong Yi calmly looked away that this person realized that his back was covered in cold sweat, and even his joints were extremely stiff. A gust of wind almost made him fall directly under the tree.

Just after the man hugged the tree trunk and honestly rested his thoughts of looking for a horse from the tree, suddenly there was another sound of horseshoes, and some people in the clothes of the guards went back and forth, and left again after turning around.

Now everyone was completely convinced by Chong Yi, they squatted obediently on the tree, waiting for the order from His Highness the Crown Prince.

Not long after, Chong Yi suddenly jumped down from the tree and said in a low voice, "Go"

A team of more than 500 people set off again, aiming at the city wall of Yi County.

The people on the city wall were very surprised to find that someone had gone and returned.

General Li's adjutant stared at Chong Yi with a vigilant face and said, "Why haven't I seen you? Who is your superior!"

Chong Yi raised his head, his black hair was only tied on the top of his head with a blue cloth belt, and the beautiful and sharp eyebrows and eyes were set off by the blood at the corners of his eyes, which made him look more dangerous and intoxicating at the same time.

He didn't speak, and walked straight to the adjutant after dismounting.

Perhaps it was because Chong Yi's movements were too fluent and his attitude was natural enough, or everyone was so engrossed in his beauty that they couldn't get back to their senses for a while.

Unexpectedly, no one yelled at Chong Yi to stop, until Chong Yi walked in front of the adjutant, the guards drew their swords and warned Chong Yi not to come any closer.

The adjutant felt more and more like a person like Chong Yi, as long as he had seen him, he shouldn't have no impression, but his attitude was much better than before, "Do you have anything to prove your identity with you?"

Chong Yi tilted his head in thought for a moment, confusion gradually spread between his brows, and then he took out a private seal from his cuff.

The adjutant knew this private letter, which was General Li's private seal.

Although it made the adjutant feel uncomfortable to find out that General Lee had a new cron who was completely unfamiliar to him, he didn't show it on the spot.

The adjutant raised his hand to tell the soldiers to put down their swords, and asked Chongyi, "The general told you to go back..."

Chong Yi suddenly interrupted the adjutant, "My superior, you should know."

The adjutant froze, he couldn't keep up with Chong Yi's train of thought.

The corner of Chong Yi's mouth suddenly raised a smile, and he made the adjutant understand, "My superior is Zhao Guoyong and Emperor."

Before the people around could realize what this meant, Chong Yi had already raised the knife and let the adjutant's body be separated.

Zhao Jun, who was behind Chong Yi, was so morale boosted by these words, he roared angrily, "Follow His Highness the Crown Prince! Expand the territory for His Majesty!"

"rush!"

Chong Yi rushed to the front, as if Rakshasa was alive, and no one could stay under his knife for a moment.

Looking at Zhong Yiyingwu's figure, Zhao Jun's morale rose again and again.

In front of them is the unstoppable Chong Yi, and behind them is Murong Jing who is about to lead an army of fifty thousand.

What else is scary?

The more aggressive Zhao Jun was, the more Wei Jun flinched.

What's going on?

Isn't the caravan from the Odd Goods City making trouble in the inner city?

How could there be Zhao Jun?

Could it be that Zhao Jun has already occupied the inner city?

The guards were almost frightened by the brave Zhao Jun. Under wild thinking, they had no fighting spirit at all, and even threw their weapons and surrendered.

Whether it was Chong Yi or Zhao Jun, they never expected that the defenders in Yi County would be so empty that there were only 8000 people.

General Li sent 2000 people to the inner city when they entered the city, and after the chaos broke out in the inner city, he took 4000 people to quell the chaos in person, and there were only 2000 people left on the city wall.

The war was completely over, and when Chong Yi led Zhao Jun to stand on the top of the city wall, he hadn't even seen the shadow of the [-] army.

Outside the city is a piece of quiet darkness, as if there are monsters lurking that choose to devour people.

In the city, it was just the opposite. Under the bright lights, Chong Yi could already see the people who had escaped from the inner city through the binoculars.

"Shoot arrows to warn the people of the Wei Kingdom not to approach the city wall." Chong Yi whispered to the people beside him, and said dissatisfiedly, "Murong Jing is too slow."

The people behind Chong Yi looked at each other, and explained in a low voice, "Not all the [-] troops are cavalry."

Attacking important cities mainly relies on infantry.

The infantry cannot be exhausted and lose all combat effectiveness after running under the city wall of Yi County.

According to the original plan, they should first lurk near the city wall.

When Murong Jing started to attack the city, they would attack the people on the city wall from the inside. It would be best if they could open the city gate directly.

Even if he couldn't directly open the city gate, he still had to buy time for Murong Jing.

No one expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so resolute and vigorous, and led them to attack the city wall of Yi County with a devastating force.

Chong Yi was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Go and check the stables, and dress up all the available military horses. Then prepare enough food for the horses, and set off immediately after the military horses that came with Murong Jing have been repaired."

Zhao Jun, who was behind Chong Yi, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this.

He licked his dry lips and whispered, "Where are you going?"

Chong Yi looked back at the speaker, "Hua County"

As the county seat of Weiguo next to Yixian County, it is not an exaggeration to say that Huaxian County is flat.

In other words, as long as Yi County is crossed, there is no place that can be called dangerous except Weijing.
