The Sky Eye spies did indeed send Tang Yin's letter of advice to Jian City, and it did fall into the hands of the city lord Qiu Yue.
After reading this letter of advice, Qiu Yue called in all his officials and staff to discuss countermeasures.
Qiu Yue is a person without his own opinion. Now he knows that Zhong Tian and Ning Jun are near Jian City, and he also knows that there are a large number of Tianyuan Army pursuers behind them, but he doesn't know what decision he should make now.
Should he remain loyal to Zhong Tian or turn his back to Tang Yin?
After his officials and staff saw the letter of advice, their expressions changed. Some people were surprised: "This... this is a letter written by Tang Yin... So Tang Yin has led the main force of the Tianyuan Army to pursue him.
Already."
"It must be like this..." Qiu Yue responded feebly.
"In the opinion of my subordinates, the Ning Army cannot resist the main force of the Tianyuan Army. Your Majesty... no, Zhong Tian cannot resist it. Your Excellency, we should seal the city tightly now and must not let Zhong Tian enter the city. This will set us on fire."
!”
"This..." Qiu Yue also had such a plan in his heart, but he was also a little worried when he was asked to keep the king Zhong Tian out of the city. He asked with concern: "Then... what if the other party forces an attack?"
What to do with the city?”
"I don't think so. Although our city's defenders only have more than a thousand people, Zhong Tian and Ning's troops are not large. Moreover, they have traveled a long distance and are exhausted. We are waiting for work in leisure, and we have the city wall as a barrier. The opponent
It is not easy to attack by force, and now that Tianyuan Army is behind Zhong Tian and Ning Army, and is personally commanded by Tang Yin, Zhong Tian and Ning Army do not have the courage to attack our Jian City easily."
After the aide finished speaking, others nodded, thinking he was right.
Qiu Yue took a breath and asked other people's opinions. The other officials and staff had basically the same opinions as the person just now. They all believed that given the current situation, they must sever ties with Zhong Tian no matter what, otherwise they would be digging their own graves.
Push Jian Cheng into the fire pit.
One or two people said this, Qiu Yue might still be a little hesitant, but everyone said this, Qiu Yue was completely determined. He nodded heavily, looked around everyone, and said: "Okay! In your opinion,
This time I have staked the lives of my whole family, young and old, and the people in the city. I hope God will open his eyes and keep my city safe."
"My lord is wise!" Everyone did not have as many worries as Qiu Yue, and in their opinion, now was the best time to join the Tianyuan Army.
Tang Yin commanded 10,000 Qingqi and 60,000 Sky Eagle troops and set out south to pursue them again. Zhong Tian and Ning Jun also got the news. Although they had rested for most of the day, the whole army was not tired at all.
, but no matter how tired they were, they did not dare to stop any longer. The 20,000 remaining defeated soldiers had to get up one after another and march towards Jiancheng.
According to Zhan Wushuang, even if you enter Jian City, you can't stop. After replenishing your supplies, you can go straight through the city. If you stop and be blocked by the Tianyuan Army in the city, something bad will happen. You haven't gone far yet.
, another spy came from the rear, this time it was from Peng Jun.
After the detective saw Zhong Tian, he knelt down with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, something bad happened..." The detective general Zhong Tian's father was beheaded by the Tianyuan Army, and his head was hung on the commander's flag, and
Zhong Tian’s concubines were told exactly by Tang Yin to the generals of the Tianyuan Army.
After hearing the news, Zhong Tian's head buzzed, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted on the spot. Seeing Zhong Tian's body shaking repeatedly, the guards around him hurriedly stepped forward, supported him, and called out repeatedly: "
King! King..."
"Wow!"
Zhong Tian felt a heat welling up between his chest and abdomen, and then his throat felt sweet, and he opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood.
"Oh... Tang Yin bullied me too much..." These words were squeezed out from Zhong Tian's teeth.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
"Father--" At this time, Zhong Wu was also helped over by the guards. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "Let me go and fight Tang Yin to the death!" Zhong Wu fought with Wu Guang, and the two of them were
Both sides were injured in the fight, and Zhong Wu's injuries were not light now. Let alone fighting, he had to rely on help even to move around.
After hearing his words, Zhong Tian was even more sad and burst into tears. For a moment, Zhong Tian seemed to have aged more than ten years. He grabbed Zhong Wu's shoulders with trembling hands and said in a trembling voice: "Father, now
You are the only relative left. If something happens to you again, how will your father survive..."
After hearing this, Zhong Wu couldn't help but shed tears. He bent his legs and knelt down in front of Zhong Tian. With tears streaming down his chest, he choked and said: "My son is incompetent and cannot help my father to solve his problems..."
Seeing the father and son Zhong Tian and Zhong Wu crying together, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi didn't have the slightest sympathy, they just felt extremely bored.
The two looked at each other, and Zhan Wushuang winked at his brother. Zhan Wudi understood, and walked quickly to Zhong Tian and Zhong Wu, saying: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please give me your condolences! Now is not the time to be sad.
If we delay any longer, it will be difficult for us to escape when the Tianyuan Army comes after us."
Hearing this, Zhong Tian trembled and said nothing. Zhong Wu raised his head angrily and glared at Zhan Wudi. The latter was startled by his fierce eyes, but was not afraid of him and said taunting Youyou:
"If His Highness feels that he can defeat Tang Yin's thousands of troops, it doesn't matter if we linger here any longer."
"You..." Zhong Wu's arrogance against Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi had already reached the limit. At this time, he burst out together. He stood up and took advantage of the situation to hold the hilt of the sword at his waist, with two tiger eyes.
Scarlet color due to congestion.
Zhan Wudi didn't pay attention to his anger at all. He looked at him sideways and asked with a sneer: "What is your highness going to do?"
"What to do? I..." Zhong Wu was about to draw his sword before he spoke. At this time, Zhong Tian calmed down and took the first step. He pressed Zhong Wu's wrist and shouted: "Wu'er must not be rude."
After saying that, he looked at Zhan Wudi again, smiled but said: "Wu'er is young and has offended the general. I hope the general will not take offense."
"Hmph! It's easy to say, as long as your Majesty can move a little faster and don't waste all of our time." After saying this, Zhan Wudi glared at Zhong Wu and walked away.
Zhong Tian's current situation is pitiful and deplorable. In front of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, he is not a king at all, not even a dog. The reason why the Zhan brothers are willing to take him on as a burden is entirely because of Ning
The meaning of the king.
His father was killed, his head was missing, and his wives were divided and humiliated wantonly. This is a shame and humiliation for any man, not to mention Zhong Tian is still a majestic king. Unfortunately, now he is unable to take revenge, and he does not even have time to feel sentimental.
, in front of the domineering Zhan brothers, he was already heartbroken. At this time, he could also foresee the treatment he would receive even if he escaped to Ningguo.
Cooperating with Ning Ren was really conspiring with a tiger, but now it's too late for Zhong Tian to regret it.
Ning Jun led Zhong Tian to rush to Jian City. The journey of only ten miles was really extremely difficult for Ning Jun at this time. This was also the most difficult march that Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi had ever experienced.
Looking up, the Ning army has long lost its square formation and almost all of its military flags. The team is sparse, with a group in the east and a group in the west. Some of the soldiers are wearing armor, some are only wearing military uniforms, and many soldiers are exhausted.
He was so sore that he couldn't exert any strength, so he limped on with the support of his companions.
It is hard to believe that the 400,000-strong Ning Army, which was so fierce and arrogant at the beginning, is now in this situation. It does not look like an army, but more like refugees fleeing famine.
Not to mention the hardships on the road, the 20,000 exhausted Ning army finally arrived at Jiancheng before dark. Looking up, the gates of Jiancheng were closed, the suspension bridge hung high, and there were many soldiers and armors on the city head.
The posture of facing a powerful enemy.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi and Zhong Tian suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
No matter what, this place still belongs to Zhong Tian, and he must take out the king's chariot. He turned to a general behind him and said: "General Lu Ji!"
"The general is here! What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Go and call the city, tell the king that I have arrived, and ask the officials in the city to come out of the city to greet you!"
"Yes! Your Majesty."
The general agreed, urged his horse and rushed out.
Because the suspension bridge had been suspended, Lu Ji ran to the moat and reined in his horse. He raised his eyes to the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Is Mr. Qiu, the Lord of Jian City, on the city?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone poked his head out from behind the arrow stack of the city tower and asked: "I am Qiu Yue, who is the general outside the city?"
"Lu Ji!" Lu Ji shouted and said, "The king has arrived outside the city. Why don't Master Qiu quickly go out of the city to greet him?"
"King? Which king?"
When Lu Ji heard this, he was so angry that he shouted: "How many kings do you think we have in Peng Kingdom?"
Qiu Yue laughed dryly and said: "General Lu Ji, I think you have misunderstood. As a Feng minister, I naturally only recognize the king of the Feng Kingdom. As for the so-called Peng Lord, in my opinion, it is stealing the wind."
I will not recognize the traitors of the country, General Lu Ji should please come back!"
"ah?"
When Lu Ji heard this, he flew into a rage. He grabbed the war gun, pointed at Qiu Yue on the top of the city, and said angrily: "Qiu Yue, you are so bold that you surrendered to the rebels. What crime do you deserve?"
Qiu Yue's face darkened, and she said in a cold voice: "The Tianyuan Army is our orthodoxy in Dafeng, and you are the rebels! Lu Ji, go back quickly and stop using your words. If not, I will let you go."
Arrow!"
"A common man! A villain! A traitor!"
Lu Ji's eyes were also red at this time, and he used all the curse words he could think of.
Qiu Yue snorted coldly and shouted: "Shoot an arrow and kill this thief!"
The surrounding officials could no longer bear it. After listening to Qiu Yue's order, everyone shouted in unison: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
