The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

On the battlefield, the two armies fought each other, flags were flying, and murderous intent was in the air.

A gust of wind blew past, blowing up yellow sand all over the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

The shouts, the sounds of horse hooves, and the collision of metal were all intertwined together, making it deafening.

The warriors, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp weapons, rushed towards the enemy like tigers descending from the mountains.

There was determination and resolve in their eyes, and every step they took was full of power.

In an instant, the two sides came into close combat, with swords and sabers flashing continuously.

Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the ground beneath their feet red.

The war horses neighed, and the dust they raised seemed to add a bit of tragedy to this life-and-death battle.

On the battlefield, some people fall down while others continue to charge forward, and life and death depend on a moment.

The battle lasted until the evening when the Northern Qi soldiers were defeated.

Wang Qi had just returned to the barracks with his remaining troops when he heard a soldier coming to report.

"General Wang... the Dayu soldiers have surrounded the military camp. We are trapped like a turtle in a jar."

"Stop talking nonsense and disturbing the morale of the army"

"It's true...General"

"Run away quickly, or you will be captured."

"Wang Qi looked at the soldier in front of him and felt that what the soldier said made sense. He should save his life first and then come back to recover the lost territory."

Wang Qi simply packed a few pieces of clothing and was ready to leave.

"Where is General Wang going to escape to?"

As the voice fell, the second prince Nangong Yu walked in slowly with a folding fan in his hand.

"I am not going to escape. I am going to get reinforcements to support Yumen Pass."

"Oh...really?"

"Someone, take Wang Qi down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yi came in with Dayu's soldiers and tied up Wang Qi.

Wang Qi looked at the two people in front of him and the Dayu soldiers behind him in disbelief, and everything became clear in an instant.

"Song Yi is your second prince's collaborator with the enemy," Wang Qi said with anger, shaking all over.

"Now that things have come to this, I admit that I am colluding with the Second Prince. What can you do to us?"

Wang Qi's face was pale, and his eyes revealed despair and unwillingness. He looked at the collaborating second prince in front of him, and his heart was filled with anger.

"You traitor! You actually collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, which led to our army's defeat. Do you know how great a sin you have committed?"

Nangong Yu sneered and said, "General Wang, a man who knows the times is a hero. Now the enemy is strong, I am doing this to protect our country."

Wang Qi was furious and said, "You are destroying our Northern Qi! You are willing to sell out Northern Qi and the people for your own selfish desires!"

Nangong Yu smiled disdainfully: "Selfish desires? I'm thinking about our future. Only by cooperating with Dayu can we gain more benefits."

Wang Qi was so angry that he was shaking all over: "People like you are not worthy of being a prince! What you have done will be spurned by history!"

Nangong Yu's face darkened: "General Wang, don't refuse a toast. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can keep you safe."

Wang Qi straightened up: "I would rather die than surrender! As a general, I have my own duties and dignity, and I will never go along with a traitor like you!"

Nangong Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude."

"Someone, take him down!"

Wang Qi stared at the second prince fearlessly: "Go ahead! Even if I die, I will never surrender to you!"

"Don't worry, this prince won't let you die easily."

"what are you up to?"

Wang Qi watched Nangong Yu take out a flute from his body and start playing it.

In an instant, Wang Qi lay on the ground, his whole body in pain. The pain made him roll over and over on the ground.

Song Yi burst into laughter when he saw Wang Qi in such an embarrassing state.

"Wang Qi...I am asking you one question. Do you want to cooperate with us?"

"And...do...and...do" Wang Qi was already in agony from the pain on his back.

"Isn't that right? A man who knows the current affairs is a hero."

As he spoke, he stopped playing the piccolo in his hand, and the pain in Wang Qi's body disappeared instantly.

It seems that the pain in his body is related to the piccolo in the second prince's hand.

"I wonder what the Second Prince wants me to cooperate with you on?"

"We have captured Yumen Pass. Now we are going to move into Yongcheng. Please ask General Wang to take out the defense map of Yongcheng so that Dayu's soldiers can break through Yongcheng and enter the city directly."

Wang Qi thought for a while and looked up at the second prince in front of him.

"Second Prince, I don't understand one thing. What benefit can you get from collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country?"

“Haha...haha..." Nangong Yu laughed out loud after hearing Wang Qi’s greeting.

"Since you have agreed to cooperate with me, it's okay for me to tell you."

"This prince wants to make the border uneasy, so that the court will have to send troops to suppress it."

"This prince can take this opportunity to contact the court officials and lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. At that time, this prince can achieve an unprecedented achievement without spending a single soldier."

"I'm afraid the second prince is not interested in this." Wang Qi heard the second prince's ambition.

"It's comfortable to talk to smart people,"

"Yes... This prince is not here to make meritorious deeds. This prince wants to use the troops in my hands to purge the emperor's entourage, eliminate the treacherous officials, and kill the old thief Nangong Mingxuan."

"If that time really comes, the Second Prince will probably not be content with the status quo."

"General Wang, sometimes people who are too smart don't live long."

"Second Prince, do you dare to do it but not take the responsibility?"

"There is nothing that this prince is not willing to accept,"

"Yes... Just as the general thought, this prince will take his place."

"Because that brat is not fit to be the emperor at all"

"He is neither the eldest nor the most virtuous nor the legitimate son. Why can he hold that position while I, the emperor's legitimate eldest son, have no chance of that position?"

"The current emperor ascended the throne by the will of the old emperor. You are openly rebelling."

"Now another crime has been added: collusion with foreign enemies"

Wang Qi listed Nangong Yu's crimes in a loud and clear voice.

"So what? As long as I succeed, I will be the king of Northern Qi. Who would dare to punish me?"

Wang Qi looked at the Second Prince who was blinded by power and thought that persuasion was futile, so he shut up.

"Someone... take General Wang with you to get the city defense map."

"Yes"

Two soldiers came in and took Wang Qi out.

Wang Qi had no choice but to hand over the city defense map of Yongcheng.

next day

At the gate of Yongcheng, a large number of Dayu soldiers surrounded the outside of the city gate.

The governor of Yongcheng had received the news of Wang Qi's defeat last night. What he didn't know was that Yongcheng would be surrounded by Dayu soldiers so soon.

The governor of Yongcheng led the remaining soldiers to the city wall.

Leng Ze also came to help guard Yongcheng.

"Commander Leng, what do you think we should do?"

The governor of Yongcheng was so frightened that his legs were shaking and his speech was intermittent.

"Liu the governor, just prepare according to our usual deployment."

"Commander Leng, you see, Dayu has 50,000 soldiers, and General Wang Qi's 30,000 soldiers were defeated. We only have 3,000 soldiers defending the city. Are we just throwing an egg against a rock?"

"Then according to Governor Liu's intention, we should surrender without a fight and open the city gates to welcome the enemy into the city."
