The guards around him advised him: "Your Majesty, why don't you go treat your injuries first?"
"Your injury is very serious and there is no time to delay."
Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "I won't be in the way, just wait and see."
He knew that the longer he waited, the lower his chance of success.
But he always kept a bit of luck in his heart, just in case his people activated the formation at the next moment!
He asked: "What's the situation now on the other side of the Benma River?"
The guard replied: "They have been asked to hurry up and cross the river."
"Those soldiers and horses who have crossed the river have begun to rush towards the first city. Soon the Lord will enter the first city."
Zhao Yan became even more anxious when he heard this.
His troops are coming to attack the first city, but the self-destruction formation in the first city has not been activated yet.
This means that his troops need to face the troops of the first city head-on.
If he faced off against the troops from the first city, his troops would definitely be severely damaged.
Because he knew before that the soldiers and horses in the First City were not bad in combat effectiveness, and every time they faced each other head-on, he would suffer some losses.
He said angrily: "What on earth is Su Yucheng doing? Why is there no movement yet?"
Su Yucheng is the name of the branch of the Su family that he bribed, and he is also the person in charge of launching the self-destruction formation today.
What he didn't know was that Su Yucheng had died under Ning Changping's knife.
The guard advised him again: "Your Majesty, you should go and treat your injuries first! If this continues, your body will not be able to bear it."
How could Zhao Yan be in the mood to treat his injuries at this time!
This time he mobilized almost all his elite troops to the first city.
If these soldiers and horses are too damaged after fighting with the soldiers and horses of the first city, then there is not much meaning in taking the first city.
Because when he has such a big loss, Zhao Ye will have more troops than him.
When Zhao Ye brings troops and horses to attack him again, he will no longer have the advantage!
His years of preparation will be in vain!
He thought of another thing: "Where is Zhao Ye now?"
The guard replied: "He was halfway up the mountain before and didn't come up. My subordinates have already sent people to kill him."
Zhao Yan asked: "Have you killed him already?"
If Zhao Ye can be killed at this time, then even if they suffer a lot of losses, there is no need to worry too much.
The guard replied: "There is no news yet."
When Zhao Yan went up the mountain today, he made very thorough arrangements.
In addition to what happened in the first city, he also sent people to kill Zhao Ye.
He originally planned to find an opportunity and kill Zhao Ye directly.
It's just that Zhao Ye was very thief. He sprained his foot halfway up the hillside and didn't follow.
Zhao Yan didn't believe that Zhao Ye sprained his foot, because Zhao Ye had always been very cautious, so he probably saw something and deliberately made an excuse.
He said in a deep voice: "Let me know, no matter what the price, Zhao Ye must be killed."
The guard responded: "Yes, I will make arrangements right now."
Zhao Yan asked again: "Is there any news about Tang Miaoxin?"
The guard replied: "No."
Zhao Yan's eyes were a little irritated: "You are so useless. There are so many people who can't catch her alone. You can also lose others!"
The guard lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Tang Miaoxin has many tricks and tricks, and it is really difficult for them to catch her.
Zhao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Send another team to find her."
"Only by catching her can I be able to return to the hidden world and dominate the world."
He dared to attack the first city only because he knew that the first city was small.
He dared to attack Dayan and Qi just because he knew they were in chaos.
But he didn't dare to face Gui Qian because he knew how terrifying Gui Qian's fighting power was.
So from the beginning, he was determined to win Tang Miao.
She is the best stepping stone to help him dominate the world, so he doesn't want to hurt her.
The guard responded and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air.
The arrow came so fast that no one had time to react. The arrow shot directly through Zhao Yan's chest and nailed him to the tree.
Such a turn of events shocked everyone.
The guard drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Protect the emperor!"
Before he could finish his sentence, someone shot an arrow through his throat, and he immediately lost his breath.
The remaining guards were not much better, but they were all killed in just a few breaths.
Zhao Yan was nailed to the tree, his face looking very ugly.
He thought that he was in control of the overall situation today, that he was the manipulator of the whole thing, but he did not expect that he would be intercepted and killed in this mountain forest at this time.
The arrow did not damage Zhao Yan's vitals, it just shot through his shoulder and pinned him to the tree unable to move.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it?"
Ning Guzhou brushed aside the branches and leaves in front of him and looked at Zhao Yan coldly.
The moment Zhao Yan saw Ning Guzhou, his face became even more ugly.
Ning Guzhou looked at Zhao Yan and asked, "Who did you say you wanted to arrest just now?"
After Ning Guzhou and Tang Miaoxin put on a show in the city lord's mansion last night, he returned to the inn and received the message:
Tang Miaoxin wants to go sightseeing with Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan.
Ning Guzhou wanted to chop up both brothers at that time.
But he knew that he couldn't do this.
If Zhao Yan and Zhao Ye both died in the First City, those people in Zhao State would definitely not give up.
At that time, it will bring trouble to the First City.
But Ning Guzhou really couldn't bear the fact that Tang Miaoxin went out with them, so he decided to follow them.
But when Ning Guzhou went out, Su Liancheng came to see him and discussed the follow-up action plan with him.
After the two of them finished their work, when Ning Guzhou went to find Tang Miaoxin, she had already set off with Zhao Yan and Zhao Ye for a long time.
Ning Guzhou was helpless, so he could only rush over.
But when he reached the mountain, he saw the thick smoke that Tang Miaoxin had set off.
When Ning Guzhou saw the thick smoke, he knew something had happened to Tang Miaoxin, and he immediately ran towards the place where the thick smoke was.
When he rushed over, Tang Miaoxin had just fallen into the trap, and the two of them were not in the same position, and they were directly separated.
When Ning Guzhou saw the pile of fallen leaves half-covered by the soil, he made a few guesses.
Because he didn't see Tang Miaoxin, he felt that Zhao Yan had probably captured her.
Although Ning Guzhou was worried about Tang Miaoxin, he also knew Zhao Yan's unspeakable thoughts about Tang Miaoxin, and knew that Zhao Yan would not hurt him for the time being.
But whenever Ning Guzhou thinks about Zhao Yan's thoughts, he becomes very anxious.
After all, Zhao Yan came prepared this time. It was not easy to find Zhao Yan in the vast forest.
Ning Guzhou searched a lot in the forest, following various traces along the way, but still couldn't find Tang Miaoxin.
But he found Tang Miaoxin's poisonous powder, blood and a corpse on the roadside.
