In the city lord's mansion, he heard that the Jiang family's army had already attacked the city, and was so scared that he became weak all over.

Why, why did you come in so quickly?

"What should I do now by the city lord?"

"Quickly, escort the princess out of the city."

General Ren endured the grief in his heart, stood up and immediately ordered to escort the princess out of the city.

"General, hasn't the princess been secretly escorted out of the city long ago? What should we do now? Should we abandon the city and escape? Or should we defend ourselves?"

Hold on to the death?

General Ren closed his eyes and pondered for a long time: "This city can no longer be defended. Now I send someone to notify Ma Chang and Hong Guang, so that they can find a way to break through the siege and escape to Anyang County."

"Then, what should the people in that city do?"

"I still care about so much now. Let's go now."

General Ren was heartbroken, but he still failed the emperor's trust and now he can only temporarily avoid the Jiang family's edge.

"Don't worry, we will come back. Mr. Yi Guang is here, and it's not too late for us to come back."

General Ren was ready, but fortunately he had already taken a step forward and secretly escorted his family and the princess to Anyang County.

When Baozhu led his men to the City Lord's Mansion, there was no one in the City Lord's Mansion: "I'm still running away!"

"Young lady, should you send someone to chase him?"

Baozhu shook his head: "No need, so as not to fall into their ambush."

At this time, the Nancheng was already under control, and Ma Chang was still guarding the North City Gate. When Baozhu led his men to attack the rear, Ma Chang realized that they had failed to defend the city.

All of this came too suddenly, and everything was like a dream.

Seeing Wang Defa covered in blood, his eyes were radiant and he had already had ambition to die.

He looked down at Wang Defa and hung his knife around his neck: "Wang Defa, you turtle, I didn't expect that I would really defeat you. I... I don't agree... But... I will not fall into your hands even if I die, I will suffer humiliation."

Puchi, the knife in his hand slashed, and blood sprayed out from his neck.

Wang Defa, who was downstairs, looked at him falling straight downstairs with scarlet eyes.

Ma Chang, a powerful general who was once as famous as him, died like this.

Wang Defa was filled with mixed feelings. He slept with Ma Chang's concubine because he was drunk and missed the matter. No one expected that he would come to this point because of this.

He could never return to King Kang's account again.

Even if Ma Chang died alone, King Kang would not spare him.

Nanzhou City is broken!!!

This news came to the prefectures like a gust of wind.

The most uneasy person was the head of the He family. He looked in the direction of Nanzhou and murmured: "True, I'm really told by Fengyang Jun. Nanzhou City was destroyed in just one night."

"Hurry, come here. I want to discuss with all my staff about forming an alliance with the Jiang family."

Mr. Fengyang said that the next step, Yi Guang will attack their Zhongzhou.

They must find an ally, which is undoubtedly the Jiang family.

Now the only one who can control the competition with King Kang is the Jiang family.

Early in the morning, it was not yet dawn.

The head of the He family convened a person to discuss the alliance with the Jiang family, which alarmed the major families in Zhongzhou.

I quickly thought about Ye Yunzhou. It seemed that Fengyang Jun gave the advice from the head of the He family to make him form an alliance with Chaoyuan County.

Judging from the current situation, we can indeed temporarily form an alliance with the Jiang family. The heads of Huangzhou and Qingzhou are their mortal enemies, and the other has secretly surrendered to the court. Only by forming an alliance with the Jiang family can they preserve their power.

Just who should I send?

In the hall, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up.

The head of the He family felt very sad when he looked at the numerous sons.

Usually, they faced each other in a tit-for-tat way, for fear that the other party would steal his credit, but now no one stands up.

It disappointed him so much.

"Father, I have studied in Nanyu before, and happened to be in Chaoyuan County. I am willing to go to Nanzhou City to discuss alliances."

He Shoutang stood up and took the initiative to take on the task of forming an alliance.

"Okay, I'm worthy of being my son!"

Just when he was planning to let one of the sons be a lobbyist, He Shoutang stood up.

He nodded happily: "If Shoutang can bring back good news safely, he will follow his father to handle the affairs of the city in the future."

He Shoutang expressed joy on his face and nodded immediately: "Father is waiting for my good news."

He Shoucheng, who was sitting beside him, held the cup with a gloomy face, and soon restrained the expression on his face.

Wait, the journey to Nanzhou City is long, and you will always encounter some accidents on the way. At that time, his good brother may not be able to return to Zhongzhou.

Jiang Cheng learned about this when he came back from the temple.

"Why did Brother He take the initiative to go to Nanzhou City?"

If nothing unexpected happens, his restless brothers will definitely set up ambush on the road.

He Shoutang smiled bitterly: "I suspect that the third brother's death is related to the eldest brother. There has never been any evidence. The eldest brother is older and his biological mother is loved by his father. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhongzhou will likely be handed over to him in the future."

"With my elder brother's temper, how can I tolerate me? I have to go to Zhongzhou and come back alive. There are not many opportunities like this."

He had to work hard to let his father see him and let him know that he was no worse than his elder brother.

Even stronger than him, he is more suitable to become the young master of Zhongzhou.

"The road is long and there will be many dangers. Brother Jiang wants you to accompany me again this time."

Jiang Cheng immediately thought of Ye Yunzhou who was drinking with him last night. He woke up early this morning and saw Ye Yunzhou nowhere. It seemed that he had already returned to the southern region.

Just so happens that he wants to go back and have a look.

Thinking of what Ye Yunzhou said to him last night, he nodded immediately: "Of course I am willing to accompany you to Nanzhou City."

...

The head of the Huang family led 20,000 people and walked among the mountains.

The scout brought back the message: "The head of the family is fifty miles away to the boundary of Nanzhou."

The head of the Huang family nodded with satisfaction: "Snap forward and be sure to arrive before the Jiang family conquers Nanzhou City."

Yiyang was in a state of great turmoil and had been with the head of the Huang family for two days. He rushed forward without stopping, speeding up his pace, but he was still feeling uneasy.

I always feel that with Ye Yunzhou here, every thing he does is less confident than anything he does at the time.

Even fell into self-doubt.

"You should enter the canyon in front, be careful to ambush and let the scouts vent more."

Yiyang asked someone to stop and looked up at the mountains on both sides.

The mountains in the south are very dense, especially the bushes, which can block most of the view on the mountain, so it is best to lie in ambush.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

Are you in a hurry to travel?

This Yiyang suddenly stopped rushing?

"The head of the family, Mr. Yiyang, said that there is a canyon in front of him. Be careful to ambush and ask the scouts to explore a few more times."

When the head of the Huang family heard this, his scout had just been explored, and the terrain behind him was flat and vast, and even if he was ambushed, he would easily withdraw.

Yiyang is also too careful.

"Forget it, since he wants to explore, let him explore."

He raised his hand and let the team behind stop and quietly waited for news from the scouts.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the scout finally went back and forth for the third time. After confirming that there was no ambush in front, Yiyang was still worried and proposed to ask a pioneer to lead a thousand people to pass by first, and the people behind him waited for a while.

"Have Mr. Yiyang always been so cautious?"

The head of the Huang family couldn't hold it anymore and rode a horse to get close to Yiyang.

Yiyang shook his head. It was not because he was cautious, but because he was guarding against Ye Yunzhou.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the head of the Huang family had to wait patiently. It was New Year's Eve yesterday, and it was heavy snow all night, and the snow was about to bury them on their calves.

I was suffering from the New Year. I was walking around and didn’t feel cold yet.

Now when I stopped, even my bones felt cold.

Seeing a thousand people safely crossing the canyon and sending people to inform, Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the head of the Huang family: "The head of the Huang family can continue to move forward."

Although the head of the Huang family was a little dissatisfied with his over-caution, it would be better to be careful when marching and fighting.
To be continued...
