Both worlds are like dreams

Gu Qinglan nodded without saying anything else, and waited for news on the city wall with Xuehuang.

According to the previous agreement, Wei Yunzhou would send them a message if he successfully obtained the food and fodder.

It was not until midnight that a cloud-piercing arrow exploded dozens of miles to the south, and the emerald green light was particularly dazzling in the darkness.

But then, the flames from that area shot straight into the sky.

The Apocalypse army suddenly panicked.

"They burned the food supplies. Did something go wrong?" Xue Huang asked with a frown.

"Once the food and fodder are burned, their whereabouts will be exposed and their situation will be very difficult. But Brother Wei still delivered the message as agreed. This is his..."

"Please help." Xue Huang said.

The two looked at each other with serious expressions.

At this time, Lu Wenxuan also walked up to the tower, "Princess, what should we do now?"

"Bring Ji Cheng up here and tell the people below that if anyone dares to stop our people from coming back, he will be buried with his life." Xue Huang said.

Lu Wenxuan immediately ordered someone to bring Ji Cheng over. Ji Cheng was a little confused at first, but when he saw the fire at the place where the Apocalypse Army was stationed, he was shocked. He gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Lu Wenxuan, you are too treacherous. You actually burned my army's food and grass?!"

"All's fair in war." Lu Wenxuan said calmly.

Ji Cheng was so angry that his face turned green. He wanted to continue cursing, but there was a sword on his neck. It was Xue Huang's Qingshuang. He swallowed back the words in his mouth.

"General Ji, let's make a deal." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Ji Cheng looked at the smile and broke out in a cold sweat, because the smile looked malicious. "What deal?"

"The ones who burned your food and supplies are ours. Use your life to get them back."

Ji Cheng almost choked, "You burned my army's food and grass and wanted me to let them go. It's really crazy."

Xue Huang put the sword against his neck, "Calm down, swords have no eyes."

"Kill me if you dare! As soon as I die, the Apocalypse soldiers below will immediately attack the city. Even if there is no food or fodder, you will still suffer heavy losses."

"General Ji, why are you so stubborn?" Xue Huang gave Lu Wenxuan a look.

Lu Wenxuan immediately understood and shouted to the people below the tower: "Dou Jing, your commander is in my hands now. If you want to keep him safe, then escort our soldiers back to the city safely."

"Lu Wenxuan, you are shameless!" The generals under the tower cursed. "None of your people will come back. I will cut them into pieces..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Huang stabbed Ji Cheng's hand with a sword. Ji Cheng's screams immediately resounded under the city wall, and the frightened man immediately swallowed back the words in his mouth.

Xue Huang looked coldly at the city below, "If you dare to hurt any of them, I will stab your General Ji with a sword. How many times do you think he can withstand it?"

"Wei Xuehuang..." Ji Cheng looked at her with gritted teeth, wishing he could kill her, but he was held down and unable to break free, so he could only stare at her fiercely.

"I hate it most when people threaten me, but you guys have been putting me in a dilemma all along. So today I will vent my anger."

"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" Ji Cheng said coldly.

"Then you try it!" Xue Huang drew out the sword and looked at his other hand with cold eyes.

Ji Cheng tried desperately to shrink back, but he watched helplessly as Xue Huang's sword stabbed at him again without mercy. He immediately shouted, "I promise you, I won't hurt their lives!"

Xue Huang withdrew her sword expressionlessly and looked down at the tower. "Did you hear that?"

"Do as she says." Ji Cheng shouted downstairs, and soon someone went to pass on the order.

Next, everyone began to wait on the city wall.

Xue Huang leaned against the pillar, looked at Ji Cheng's bleeding palm and the blood on her sword, sighed slightly, and stared at the night sky for a long time without speaking.

Finally, at dawn, news came back that Wei Yunzhou and his men had burned most of the food and brought some back.

Seeing that they were fine, Xuehuang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the city gate, Tianqi's deputy general Dou Jing temporarily stopped Wei Yunzhou and the others, and then shouted at the city gate: "Lu Wenxuan, the food and grass you wanted have arrived, and the people you wanted are alive. Can you return General Ji to us?"

"Open the way first and let them enter the city." Lu Wenxuan shouted.

"Let's talk it out. You can't kill General Lu, and if I take down all these people now, you can't do anything to me. It's better to make an exchange. Otherwise, for every point you injure General Ji, I will kill one of them."

Xue Huang thought that this deputy general was much smarter than Ji Cheng, and he knew how to turn the tables. However, in the current situation, Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao returned safely with food and grass, and most of Tianqi's remaining food and grass were burned. Even if they released them and attacked the city again, Tianqi's original purpose had been destroyed.

So she looked at Gu Qinglan and Lu Wenxuan, and they also nodded to indicate their agreement to release the person.

But some precautions still had to be taken, so Xue Huang called Lin Yu and gave Ji Cheng a pill.

"General Ji, this is the Heartbreak Pill. Although it won't take your life, it will make you live a life worse than death when it takes effect. After they enter the city safely, I will give you the antidote. Goodbye." Lin Yu said lightly.

It was as if he was going to set off. Ji Cheng suddenly felt a little flustered. This group of people was really shameless and had no martial ethics at all.

As for this master of poison, he had heard of it a long time ago. Maybe it was because of what he said, but Ji Cheng began to feel some slight pain in his body.

"General Ji, please come in." Gu Qinglan led the way.

Ji Chengze was escorted by Xue Huang to the city gate, while Lu Wenxuan stayed behind to monitor the Apocalypse army to prevent them from making any unusual movements.

Soon, the city gates opened wide.

Xue Huang escorted Ji Cheng out slowly. Dou Jing on the opposite side waved his hand, and the Apocalypse army made way.

Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao led the team and came here with thousands of loads of food.

Xue Huang and Gu Qinglan also took Ji Cheng and walked towards the opposite side. After the two sides met, Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao stopped beside Xue Huang tacitly, and Xue Huang also let go of Ji Cheng.

"Give me the antidote!"

"General Ji, don't worry, we won't kill you." Xue Huang said.

"Princess Changle, you treated me like this and showed such contempt for Tianqi. Have you ever thought about retreating?"

"General Ji, let me make it clear. This is my personal behavior. It has nothing to do with Bei Ling and Dong Chu."

"So, you are opposing Tianqi from Guigu's perspective?"

Xue Huang let him go, "It depends on how you understand it. Walk slowly."

"My antidote."

Gu Qinglan took out the antidote from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Cheng. After taking it, the other party immediately ran back in two steps.

Xue Huang and his men also slowly began to retreat, and soon the food and supplies arrived in front of the city gate.

When Ji Cheng saw them leave, he suddenly felt a surge of anger when he thought of the sin he had suffered. "Archer!"

Apocalypse's soldiers immediately drew their bows and arrows, each of which was soaked in flames, and in an instant they shot towards them in an overwhelming manner.

"Enemy attack!" Lu Wenxuan immediately gave orders, "Fight! Protect the food and grass!"

Bei Ling's soldiers immediately rushed out, blocked them, and used shields to block the rain of arrows.

Xue Huang and the others protected the food supplies, each drawing their swords to deal with Tianqi's attack.

After two rounds of arrow rain, Apocalypse's attack temporarily stopped and he began to retreat.

They had been deadlocked here for a day and a night, and were already exhausted. The two rounds of arrow rain just now were also Ji Cheng's way of venting his anger.

He knew that now that the food and grass were destroyed, if the battle continued, the losses would be huge. So he could only order a retreat in frustration.

Seeing this, Lu Wenxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Cheng looked at Xue Huang and others at the city gate, feeling angry and annoyed, and his teeth were itching with hatred.

When the Apocalypse army came, they were full of vigor and were determined to take down Muhua City, but they were defeated by a few juniors. Not only were they captured alive, but their food and grass were also burned, so they could only retreat in disgrace.

"Lu Wenxuan, listen carefully, I, Tianqi, will take over Muhua City sooner or later."

Lu Wenxuan stood on the city wall, his eyes determined, "As long as I, Lu Wenxuan, am alive, Tianqi will never be able to cross this door."

Ji Cheng was so angry that his face turned blue and he rode his horse to lead his troops to retreat.

Seeing the army slowly withdrawing, Bei Ling's soldiers immediately began to cheer with joy. Xue Huang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the city.
