After guarding the border for his father for three years, the daughter-in-law returns home and becom

The soldier struggled to raise his head and said incoherently: "Your Excellency, we are defeated... we are defeated..."

"What did you say? Three thousand elite soldiers were defeated by a hundred defeated soldiers?!"

Yan Xingrong stood up suddenly, grabbed the soldier by the collar and roared.

The soldier was trembling with fear at Yan Xingrong's anger, and said in a trembling voice: "That King Qiong... is full of tricks. He summoned a black-armored army from somewhere. Our army is no match for him!"

"Black-armored troops?"

Yan Xingrong frowned, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. "Have you seen clearly how many people are there in the black-armored army? Where did they come from?"

"There are at least 800 of them, and each of them is a brave soldier who can fight ten to one. I have never seen such a terrifying army before."

When the soldier said this, his face turned pale.

Veins popped up on Yan Xingrong's forehead, and he threw the soldier away. "Waste! Good-for-nothing! Someone, drag him out and chop him up!"

The two Grand Masters stepped forward to dissuade him, "Sir, calm down. Victory and defeat are common in the military. The most urgent task now is to find out the origins of the black-armored army before making any plans!"

Yan Xingrong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly sat back in his chair.

"Tell me, where is Chu Yang now?"

"He led the black-armored army straight towards Qiongzhou City!"

The soldier was so frightened that he spoke incoherently.

"what?!"

Yan Xingrong stood up suddenly, his face livid, "It's trouble, it's trouble, it's trouble now!"

"Sir, I think we should leave Qiongzhou now. It will be too late if we leave later."

An imperial tutor said this worriedly. Apparently in his opinion, the matter was exposed and the only way to avoid death was to escape.

Yan Xingrong frowned and paced back and forth in the room, feeling anxious.

He originally thought that three thousand elite soldiers were enough to completely eliminate Chu Yang, but he didn't expect that he would fail at the last moment!

"Could it be that Chu Yang really has the ability to fly from the sky and bring in reinforcements?"

Yan Xingrong pondered secretly in his heart, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Report——"

Another urgent report came, and a scout ran into the hall in a panic and knelt on the ground, "Your Excellency, something terrible has happened. Chu Yang is leading the black-armored army and two thousand surrendered soldiers less than five miles away from our Qiongzhou City!"

"What? Two thousand surrendered soldiers?"

Yan Xingrong suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fainted.

In such a short time, Chu Yang had his troops at the gates of the city, and they brought the surrendered soldiers with them!

Have the other four counties surrendered?

Outside Qiongzhou City.

The flags are fluttering and the atmosphere is murderous.

Chu Yang was holding a spear and riding a tall white horse, followed by a large group of Xianzhen Camp soldiers, like a black torrent, sweeping towards Qiongzhou City.

"Your Highness, we are just ahead of Qiongzhou City. Do you think Yan Xingrong will open the city wall?"

Zhao Yun rode his horse forward and pointed at the towering city wall in the distance.

Chu Yang nodded slightly, his eyes sharp as torches, looking towards the Qiongzhou City in the distance.

"This battle was a heavy blow to Qiongzhou's one city and four counties, and we brought the surrendered soldiers with us."

"I concluded that Yan Xingrong had already fled."

He whispered to himself, then gave the order decisively.

"Zhao Yun, I order you to lead the cavalry to keep an eye on the other three city gates. If you spot Yan Xingrong, follow him and kill him halfway. Don't let him leave with the gold, silver, and jewelry."

"Yes!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists and accepted the order. He jumped on his horse and led his cavalry to rush towards other city gates like a whirlwind.

Chu Yang looked at Zhao Yun going away, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, Yan Xingrong, do you think you can escape?

He then turned his horse around and waved his hand at the dark army behind him.

"Follow me into the city!"

A team of more than 2,000 people arrived at the city of Qiongzhou in a mighty manner. This army included both elite fighters from the Xianzhen Camp and soldiers who had just surrendered.

"Listen up, those on the city wall. I am the current King of Qiong. I was ordered to wipe out the bandits. Now I have returned victorious. Why don't you open the city gates immediately?"

Chu Yang's voice echoed under the city gate like a huge bell, frightening the defenders on the city wall.

The soldiers guarding the city looked at each other in bewilderment. Normally they only obeyed Yan Xingrong's orders, but now that Yan Xingrong had not given any orders, how could they dare to open the city gate without permission?

Seeing that the city gate was slow to open, a hint of impatience flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, and he spoke again.

"Why, my order doesn't work? I just went out of the city to suppress the bandits, but you won't let me in? Could it be that you are Yan Xingrong's private soldiers, planning a rebellion?"

As soon as Chu Yang said this, the soldiers on the city wall suddenly panicked.

They were just a group of soldiers and did not want to be charged with treason.

After all, Chu Yang is the prince of the current dynasty and has the support of the Great Zhou!

"This...what should we do? Should we open the city gate or not?"

"Open it, of course we have to open it! We are soldiers of the Great Zhou, not the private soldiers of that bastard. If we anger His Royal Highness Prince Qiong, we will be in big trouble!"

"But, Lord Yan..."

"Lord Yan? I think he is in great danger! Otherwise, why would His Royal Highness Prince Qiong come back with so many troops?"

The soldiers guarding the city talked a lot, and finally, driven by the instinct of survival, they opened the city gate.

The city gate slowly opened, and Chu Yang rode on a tall horse and led his army in.

Looking at the somewhat deserted streets in the city, a cold light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes.

It seems that Yan Xingrong, the old fox, was well prepared.

"Your Highness, Yan Xingrong is extremely cunning. He actually ran away after the battle in the forest. Do you think he will set an ambush in the city and wait for us to sneak in?"

Suo Si rode up to Chu Yang and spoke in a low voice.

"There won't be an ambush. Yan Xingrong has already fled. Go to the city and spread the news that I have wiped out and captured 2,000 bandits. There will be peace outside the city from now on."

"Yes!" Suo Si took the order and left.

Over time.

Chu Yang led his army and rushed into the City Lord's Mansion with great momentum. However, what greeted them was an empty mansion.

"Your Highness, we found a secret passage in the backyard!"

At this time, a scout came to report.

Chu Yang sneered and said, "This old fox really has a trick up his sleeve. Come on, let me take a look!"

Chu Yang led everyone to the backyard, and saw a pitch-black cave entrance suddenly appeared behind a rockery.

"Your Highness, do you want to send someone down to explore the way?"

"No need, Zhao Yun is waiting for him outside."

After saying that, Chu Yang came to Prince Qiong's Mansion.

After sitting in the chief seat, he frowned and felt a little troubled.

"What is the attitude of the four county chiefs now? Are they really going to fight each other?"

"I'm afraid the people in the city will not accept the news that Suo Si spread. Someone will definitely know about the battle outside the city."

"What shall we do with the gold and silver Zhao Yun intercepts later?"

Thinking of this, Chu Yang felt that this matter had to be handled by a counselor.

Then he recited silently.

"Use the Civil Servant Summoning Card!"

Chu Yang rubbed his temples, his mind full of thoughts.

This Wang Meng...why does he sound so familiar?

After racking his brains for a long time, he slapped his thigh and remembered!

Isn’t he the fierce man from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a ruthless character as famous as Zhuge Liang!
