The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Standing next to Chu Feng at the foot of the tower was a small captain of the Artifact Battalion named Pei Hu, who was indeed Pei Hansheng's cousin. It was because of this relationship that Chu Chenjing allowed him to come with Chu Feng.

At this time, he raised his head and shouted to Pei Hansheng on the tower: "Brother, I am Xiaohu, your cousin."

Pei Hansheng was completely relieved and said to him below: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Wait a minute, I'll be down soon." After that, he turned around and went down the city wall with his men to meet Chu Feng and the others.

The city gate creaked, and one of the doors opened a large gap, enough for a man and a horse to pass through.

Chu Feng led this group of people, each leading their warhorses, into the city. Pei Hansheng also came down from the tower and met them.

Chu Feng saw Pei Hansheng and handed the token to him. Pei Hansheng confirmed the token and returned it to Chu Feng. Pei Hansheng exchanged a few words with Chu Feng and his cousin Pei Hu, and then led their team to the Zhoujun Mansion.

When Pei Hansheng led them into the prefectural palace, several other officials of Xia Yongzhou prefectural palace were also notified by Pei Hansheng and were already sitting in the lobby waiting for them.

When they saw Pei Hansheng leading a team in, they all stared at these people from Kyoto, wondering what had happened that made them get up in the middle of the night.

At this time, an older official asked, "Peizhou Yin, you asked me to come here in the middle of the night. Is there something important?"

When Pei Hansheng was returning home just now, he invited Chu Feng to ride in the carriage with him. In the carriage, Chu Feng briefly told him what happened. He was so shocked after hearing it that he has not yet recovered.

He could never have imagined that Xue Xiang, who was second only to the emperor and above all others, would lead a rebel army to force him to abdicate. Among the rebels was his son Xue Jianhai, the defender of Shiha City.

What he could not have imagined was that Xue Congying, the younger brother of Prime Minister Xue, was still alive. Not only was he alive, but he also had a team of tens of thousands of people. He could not imagine it. After he became the governor of Xiayong Prefecture, he heard people mention Xue Congying's death. He did not expect that the dead would be resurrected, which scared him a lot.

What made him even more nervous was that if he had not learned about the rebellion of Prime Minister Xue in Kyoto, he would definitely open the gates to welcome Xue Jianhai's troops into his Yongzhou City. In this way, Yongzhou City would be handed over directly to the rebels, and he would become one of the rebels. His entire family in Kyoto would inevitably be implicated by him. He didn't even dare to think about this; he was terrified at the thought.

At this time, he heard a voice calling him, and he was suddenly awakened from his thoughts. Seeing that the subordinate official was asking him questions, he quickly pointed at Chu Feng, who had a serious face, and the group of people behind him and introduced them, "This is Chu Feng, the chief guard of Prince Jing. The people around him are soldiers from the Jingyong Army's Divine Weapon Battalion."

Everyone looked at each other, confused. Why were they woken up so late at night? What happened?

Pei Hansheng asked Chu Feng and the others to sit down first, and then continued to say to his officials: "Now there is something very important that Guard Chu wants to tell you."

Chu Feng looked up at these officials, and began to explain the urgency of their rushing to Yongzhou City overnight, and told them about the rebel Xue Conggui in Kyoto who forced the emperor to abdicate.

It said that Xue Jianhai from Shiha City led his troops to Kyoto, where he was arrested for participating in the rebellion. It also said that Xue Jianhai colluded with the Dirong people and attacked his own people. Finally, it said that Xue Congying was not dead and had led a team of tens of thousands of people.

When the officials heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief, and even their breathing stopped, as if they were petrified.

Chu Feng continued, "Let's not talk too much now. Time is running out. We came here this time because Prince Ju Jing judged that Yongzhou City is relatively close to Shiha City and is militarily weak. It is very likely that Xue Congying will send people to control your Yongzhou City. It is possible that they will come between now and the early morning."

When these officials heard this, some of them became very anxious, while others did not take it seriously and did not even believe it.

One of the old officials said in disbelief: "I don't think they will come to our Yongzhou City." Mainly because he didn't believe that Xue Conggui would rebel, and even more so, he didn't believe that Xue Congying was not dead and could gather such a large team. To him, this sounded like a fairy tale.

At this time, the governor Xia Jinghong glared at the official, "Wu Taishou, you may not believe what Guard Chu said, are you still dreaming? I think Prince Jing's analysis is very correct.

Judging from the terrain, if they control Shiha City, they will go straight to our Yongzhou City. Our state is next to Shiha City, and there are no troops stationed in our state. They also know that we must not have received the news from Kyoto. If they come with troops, we will definitely welcome them into the city. "

After listening to his analysis, everyone understood.

At this time, the old governor surnamed Wu was frightened, and said to Chu Feng tremblingly: "Guard Chu, then...then...if Xue Congying comes with his troops, what should we do?"

Pei Hansheng looked at the officials below, frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't Prince Jing ask Guard Chu to bring the soldiers of the Divine Artifact Camp to help us? Didn't I ask you to come here to discuss it?"

The governor, Xia Jinghong, was also a calm man. He continued Pei Hansheng's words and said, "Pei Zhouyin, Chu Shiwei, I think we should first transfer all the guards to the tower and organize the strong men in the city to join in the defense."

Chu Feng glanced at him and Pei Hansheng and said, "This is a solution. How many soldiers are there in Yongzhou City's defense force now?"

Pei Hansheng seemed to find it difficult to speak. “Guard Chu, although the city defense army nominally has a thousand people, more than a hundred of them are veterans who are guarding the state capital. There are only more than 800 people in reality.”

Chu Feng was shocked when he heard this. This was too few. So he asked again, "Peizhou Yin, how many gates are there in Yongzhou City?"

When Pei Hansheng heard Chu Feng's question, he quickly asked his men to bring the map. He stood up and spread the map on the table.

Chu Feng and the others also came to the map. Pei Hansheng pointed to a few places and said, "Guard Chu, we have three city gates here: the North Gate, the South Gate, and the West Gate."

Chu Feng stared at the map. He saw from the map that Xue Congying and his men would not go through the north gate, but they had to be on guard. The west gate was the closest to Shiha City and Xue Congying's old nest. This gate was the most important, followed by the south gate.

So he spoke out his views and discussed with the local officials. After the discussion, they quickly made arrangements. First, all the city defense troops were dispatched, and the more than one hundred veterans continued to guard the provincial capital and patrol the city.

The other 800-odd city defense troops were divided into two large groups and one small group to guard the three city gates.

Chu Feng brought more than 20 soldiers from the Divine Artifact Camp, six of them were guarding the gatehouse of the north gate, ten were guarding the gatehouse of the west gate, and eight were guarding the gatehouse of the south gate.
