With that said, Ying Kuang said to more than a dozen generals: "Okay, I can see that you have all tried your best."
Plop!
Hearing this, more than a dozen generals knelt down and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" As they spoke, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They were all guilty, and they thought they could capture Ji Beiye alive to make amends, but they let Ji Beiye run away again, so they felt very uneasy on the way back. But at this time, seeing that the little emperor had no intention of blaming him, they felt worried.
Suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Um!
Ying Kuang nodded. Although he did not capture Ji Beiye alive, he was still very happy after defeating the enemy today.
At this time, Ying Kuang looked around and said with a smile: "Mr. Yue Feng took the greatest credit for defeating the rebels today. A celebration banquet will be held tonight, and the whole city will celebrate!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
.......
The other side.
Ji Beiye led the remaining team, and after evading the pursuit of Qingyun Navy, they rushed south.
It was already late at night, the night was dark and the wind was high. Ji Beiye and his generals were not familiar with the terrain. They were tired and sleepy from walking. They were all exhausted at this time.
"General!"
At this moment, a general discovered something and said excitedly: "There seems to be a temple halfway up the slope ahead."
Ji Beiye was shocked and quickly looked over. Sure enough, he saw a vague group of buildings on the hillside in front of him. It was a temple, but it was dark inside. It was obvious that no one was there and it must have been abandoned.
But even if the temple is ruined, for Ji Beiye, this matter is undoubtedly a timely help.
call!
At this moment, Ji Beiye took a deep breath and couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Enter the temple ahead to rest and be alert to the surroundings."
"Yes, General!" The soldiers responded loudly, and then poured into the ruined temple.
The temple is very large, with a front hall and a back hall. It can easily accommodate Ji Beiye's tens of thousands of soldiers.
Soon, a bonfire was lit, and the soldiers killed horses to satisfy their hunger. After eating and drinking, some soldiers patrolled and guarded the surroundings, while others rested.
call!
At this moment, Ji Beiye was sitting on the straw mat in the main hall. After eating the horse meat, he was about to lie down and rest. He had decided to return to Qizhou City to reorganize the army and recuperate before attacking Qingyun City.
"Who?"
"stop!"
As a result, at this moment, there was a burst of angry shouts from soldiers outside, and there was a commotion.
Hearing the noise, Ji Beiye immediately sat up in shock: "Are the pursuers coming?"
Several generals around him looked at each other and were about to go out to check the situation. However, a soldier walked in quickly and said to Ji Beiye with a complicated expression: "General, he is the lord of Qingyun City. And his family...
.”
Whoosh!
Hearing this, Ji Beiye's face changed, and the anger in his heart rose. Ma De, this bastard still dares to come? If it weren't for his bad plan, how could my army of hundreds of thousands be so miserable?
Thinking of this, Ji Beiye became even more angry and said coldly: "Bring him in."
"Yes, General!"
The soldier responded, walked out quickly, and soon walked in with the city lord, followed by several personal guards behind him.
At this moment, Ji Beiye signaled to the soldiers around him, and they immediately understood. They quickly walked over, pulled out their long swords and put them on the necks of several personal guards.
Whoosh!
None of the personal guards reacted, and they suddenly trembled with fright, their faces turned ashen.
The city lord also changed his expression, smiled bitterly at Ji Beiye and said: "General, I came all night to join you, why did you treat me like this?" When speaking, the city lord was very aggrieved.
Ji Beiye's army was defeated during the day. The city lord knew that Qingyun City could not stay any longer and the conspiracy would be exposed sooner or later, so he quickly took his family to cross the river at night.
He knew that Ji Beiye would definitely return to Qizhou City, so he chased him here and finally caught up with him at this ruined temple.
What the city lord didn't expect was that as soon as Ji Beiye saw him, he would turn against him and take action.
"Shut up!"
But as soon as the city lord opened his mouth, Ji Beiye shouted: "You shameless villain, dare to join forces with Yue Feng to plot against this general? How can I spare you?"
With that said, Ji Beiye pulled out his long sword, looked at the city lord and said coldly: "I have ruined more than ten years of hard work by you, how dare you take the initiative to see me?"
