Time passed slowly, the sun shone brightly, and the scorching heat shone down on Ye Tingyi, yet he felt no heat. Instead, his heart grew colder, and his hands tightly gripped the reins, motionless. General Xiao was even more agitated, fidgeting uncomfortably on horseback. "Your Highness, Seventh Prince, Lieutenant General Liu has been in there for two hours now. It seems he's in great danger, and he's probably been captured. What do you think we should do? Should we rush in now to rescue him, or what?"

Ye Tingyi's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold. "Wait a little longer." He drew the sword at his waist and prayed silently in his heart.

After another cup of tea, there was a sudden movement at the city gate. Ye Tingyi looked closely and saw Lieutenant General Liu riding out slowly on his horse, followed by a few remaining soldiers in a state of distress, as if they had suffered some horrific tragedy.

Vice Admiral Liu came before Ye Tingyi, dismounted, and knelt in greeting. "Your Highness, I feel guilty for not only failing to find out what was going on, but also for nearly getting trapped inside."

Ye Tingyi frowned and immediately dismounted to help him up. "What happened in there? Why are you so embarrassed?"

When he saw Lieutenant General Liu's face, he was stunned. On the battlefield, swords clashed, leaving wounds everywhere. At this moment, Lieutenant General Liu had disheveled hair and bruises on his face, obviously having been beaten.

Ye Tingyi was puzzled. He looked at Lieutenant General Liu and asked, "What's going on? What happened in there?"

Lieutenant General Liu looked bewildered, "Your Highness, this... I don't know either. I fainted when I entered the city. I woke up like this. I didn't see anyone." He wanted to walk inside, but when he felt pain on his body and face, he realized that he had been beaten, and he did it without knowing it. The soldiers he brought in were even worse off than him. Some of them had been beaten to death. He could only come out first.

Ye Tingyi looked at the city gate. This was the trap set by the city lord. They deliberately let us into the city to confuse them.

"What a trap!" Ye Tingyi gritted his teeth and said, "Pass the order, retreat!"

It seems that it is not suitable to attack at this moment. They are obviously on guard. He needs to study it first before finding out the situation inside.

Yetingyi led the army back five miles, set up camp and started cooking.

Ruan Xiaojiu was hiding in the dark, watching the army leave, with a beautiful smile on her lips, wondering what she was thinking. The city lord followed beside her and witnessed the whole thing. He was a little surprised and a little uncertain. Was Ruan Xiaojiu really that powerful? He only saw that the general had just entered the city, and Ruan Xiaojiu flicked his fingers, and the general in the distance fell off his horse and fell to the ground unconscious. He was stunned at the time. This was too powerful. He wanted to arrest these people, but the Ninth Prince refused, saying that he should just beat them up to vent his anger. He had no choice but to do as he was told, beat them up and let them go.

Now the city lord looked at Ruan Xiaojiu with more respect in his eyes. No matter what, he was sure that this man must be very good at martial arts, so there was nothing wrong with him showing some respect to him first.

Ninth Prince's Palace:

Ruan Siqi lay on the recliner, looking listless and listless. Ever since marrying Ruan Xiaojiu, he'd felt something had changed. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but the most obvious feeling was that something was slipping away from him, and some of his preferences were slowly changing. While it didn't affect his daily life, it made him feel uneasy. He suspected he might be ill and wondered if he should see a doctor.

.........

Ye Tingyi returned to the tent and asked the military doctor to give Lieutenant General Liu a simple bandage, and then came back to describe in detail the situation when entering the city.

"What the hell is going on? What happened to you in there? How did you get into this state?"

Lieutenant General Liu still felt a little aggrieved, trying hard to recall. His memory stopped shortly after he entered the city. They entered cautiously, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and then he was knocked unconscious, and then woke up. That was it. Lieutenant General Liu stood in the center of the tent and recounted what had happened.

He was a little dejected, looked up at his prince, and felt a little embarrassed, but what could he do, this was the fact.

"Did you see no one since you entered the city? Not even one person?"

Lieutenant General Liu shook his head. "It's completely empty inside. Not even a chicken or a dog was in sight."

Ye Tingyi frowned and looked at Lieutenant General Liu. It seemed that he could not get any useful information here.

General Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of something after hearing this and said, "Your Highness, do you think the City Lord's Mansion has found a military advisor? Otherwise, how could they be so powerful now after being such a coward for the past few days?"

"Your Highness, if tomorrow's situation is the same as today, why don't I go to the city to meet them?"
