At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

The army entered the city at an extremely fast speed. In less than a quarter of an hour, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses entered Yuanzhou City through the East Gate.

For a moment, on the road leading to the military camp through the East Gate, the sounds of killing and fighting were heard one after another, and the streets, which had originally been quiet, became noisy again.

Xu Wan'er and others have a very clear goal.

That was Xiao Zongnan who was in the military tent!

As long as they could capture Xiao Zongnan's head, their mission would be successfully completed.

However, the entry of tens of thousands of troops into the city will inevitably bring about a series of chain reactions.

The original defenders in Yuanzhou City soon discovered the unusual movements in the direction of the east gate.

As signal arrows were launched into the sky, the entire Yuanzhou City quickly fell into panic.

"What's going on? Why are signal arrows being fired in the city?"

Xiao Zongnan, who had just fallen asleep, heard the noise coming from outside and couldn't help but walk out of the tent.

"Your Highness, this is a signal arrow sent from the military camp. It should be that the enemy has invaded Yuanzhou City."

The two guards on duty responded immediately, with a look of horror on their faces.

"Protect the left and right wings with all your strength, and immediately move towards the center. Don't make any mistakes!"

Although Xiao Zongnan didn't know what had happened, at this point in his life-and-death situation, he still made the wisest decision.

As long as the guards on the left and right wings reach the center of the army, his safety will be temporarily guaranteed.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zongnan put on a set of armor and mounted his warhorse, with a fierce look on his face.

"I want to see who dares to attack Yuanzhou at night!"

Xiao Zongnan drew the sword from his waist and gathered all the soldiers in the military camp together. At a glance, there were about thirty or forty people.

At this time, the soldier who delivered the message had not returned yet, and the guards on the left and right wings were nowhere to be seen.

"Your Majesty, at least tens of thousands of soldiers have entered Yuanzhou City!"

Soon, another soldier who was fleeing in panic appeared in front of Xiao Zongnan, staggering.

"Do you know who the other party is?"

The gloom in Xiao Zongnan's eyes became more and more intense. Tens of thousands of enemy troops attacked the city without any warning. This matter was obviously not simple.

Generally speaking, when tens of thousands of enemy troops approach the city, the guards on the city wall will immediately report the news to the central military camp.

Could it be that there is a traitor?

"In reply to your Highness, the enemy does not seem to be Japanese pirates. The general who led the charge is the governor of Zhejiang and Southern Zhili, a general under the command of Lord Xia Yunxia, ​​Chong Black Fox!"

The soldier responded immediately.

Hearing this, Xiao Zongnan's face changed again, and an uncontrollable anger suddenly rose from his chest.

"Damn you Xia Yun! I didn't go looking for you, but you dared to provoke me!"

Xiao Zongnan's expression turned extremely pale.

At this moment, he instantly connected all the things that happened tonight.

The group of Japanese pirate cavalry that had appeared outside Yuanzhou City before now seemed to be just Xia Yun's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Xia Yun’s real purpose was to transfer the troops in the city away and attack him alone!

"Pass on my order, and bring Chen Jingzhong to me immediately!"

Xiao Zongnan said angrily.

After thinking through all the connections, Chen Jingzhong's background is naturally self-evident, and it must be related to Xia Yun's actions this time!

However, as soon as Xiao Zongnan finished speaking, before the soldiers had time to pass on the order, a lazy voice suddenly appeared at the scene.

"No need to trouble you. I wonder what the prince wants to do with me?"

As the words fell, a burly figure wearing a black helmet and armor, riding a white horse, carrying a spear, walked out from the corner of the road in front of the military camp.

"Chen Jingzhong!"

Xiao Zongnan looked at the figure that suddenly appeared on the street, and the iron-willed look on his face instantly turned into a look of rage.

He didn't expect that Chen Jingzhong would dare to come and see him on his own initiative.

However, at this moment, an extremely noisy riot suddenly came from behind Chen Jingzhong.

"Xiao old dog, I'm going to take your life!"

With a loud shout that resounded throughout the street, a man riding a black horse, looking extremely heroic, suddenly rushed out leading a cavalry.

The person who came was none other than Chong Heihu!

Xiao Zongnan just wanted to order the soldiers behind him to arrest Chen Jingzhong.

But when he saw the large number of cavalry suddenly rushing out, only one thought remained in his mind.

run!

Run as fast as you can!

The murderous aura that Chong Heihu exuded really frightened him. He knew that he was no match for the other party, and he also knew that the few people under his command were not enough to resist.

"Everyone, stop them for me!"

While Xiao Zongnan ordered his soldiers to stop them, his horse galloped wildly towards the rear.

However, how could the mere thirty or forty guards on the scene be a match for Chong Heihu?

As soon as the two sides fought, after just one encounter, the thirty or forty guards who formed a defensive formation were overturned on the spot by the cavalry led by Chong Heihu.

"Everyone lay down your weapons immediately. Anyone who disobeys this order will be killed!"

At this time, Chen Jingzhong also rushed forward, and the spear in his hand swept coldly over the heads of the guards.

At this point, how could these guards dare to resist at all?

Even Xiao Zongnan had already escaped, so they naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to be loyal to him.

So the guards who had just been overthrown put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

At this time, Xu Wan'er and Qin Tianye also caught up from behind.

"Where is Xiao Zongnan?"

Xu Wan'er looked around the entire military camp, but did not see Xiao Zongnan and Chong Heihu. A look of confusion appeared on her face.

"Xiao Zongnan just escaped, and General Chong Heihu is chasing him."

Chen Jingzhong responded truthfully.

However, it was shortly after Chen Jingzhong finished speaking.

The figure of Chong Heihu reappeared in everyone's sight.

But then one man named Chong Heihu came on horseback from the other end of the street, with a bloody human head hanging on the tip of the spear in his hand.

It’s Xiao Zongnan!

Everyone present instantly recognized the origin of the head, and then expressions of ecstasy appeared on their faces!

“Mission successful!”

Xu Wan'er's tense expression relaxed immediately.

Once Xiao Zongnan died, their mission on this trip would be successfully completed.

"This dog ran pretty fast. If I had been a little bit later, it might have gotten away with it."

Chong Heihu returned to the crowd, swung the spear in his hand, and knocked Xiao Zongnan's head to the ground on the spot.

As the most powerful general under Xia Yun, Chong Heihu may be lacking in command, but his personal combat power is absolutely unquestionable.

As the whole heads rolled on the ground, the guards who had just chosen to lay down their weapons and surrender showed expressions of horror on their faces.

These guys...actually killed the imperial prince!

It can be imagined that after tonight, the entire government and the country will be shaken to the core!
