He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

An Wuyang followed Yan Juzhi to the top of the city wall, where Wen Jingnian had been observing for a long time.

At this moment, he was accompanied by several young generals in armor, all with serious expressions, and there was even a woman among them.

The girl's expression didn't look good when she saw An Wuyang. She glared at him and turned her head away.

Such a trivial matter is not worth fussing over at this time.

"Lord Yan, please take a look!"

Wen Jingnian pointed downwards.

Beneath the city walls, flickering flames stretched for miles, countless torches illuminating the mountains and fields outside the city.

Based on this situation, the python king's army probably numbers over 100,000.

No, even if you include Luo Xiang's men from the previous life, the Python King's men numbered only around two thousand, not a hundred thousand.

An Wuyang was certain that her guess after seeing the half-note was correct.

These torches are just an illusion!

Only Luo Qingfan could come up with such a trick, An Wuyang realized.

Just as An Wuyang was about to express his guess, he heard the striker below start knocking on the door.

"Lord of Ning County, listen up! The Prince has ordered that as long as you hand over the smuggling device and open the city gates to let us in, we will spare the people of the city!"

When these remarks reached the ears of the people of Ning County, they immediately sparked a chorus of curses.

At the city gate, someone shouted, "The princess has given medicine to save lives! The people of Ning County support the princess and will never bow down to the rebels!"

"So what if those damned rebels come, even if they number one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand? I'm just a worthless life anyway, it's worth dying for the princess!"

The crowd was immediately enraged, but their morale was not affected by the other side's shouts.

Hearing the people's words, An Wuyang was deeply moved.

However, relying solely on the enthusiasm of the masses is not a long-term solution.

An Wuyang continued to look out of the city wall, pondering a good plan.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to solve the problem.

"Lord Wen, are you alright? I have something to ask of you."

Upon seeing this, Yan Juzhi's originally solemn expression turned ashen in an instant.

Wen Jingnian turned to look at An Wuyang, his tone gentle, as if he were not on a tense battlefield: "Madam An, please speak."

Beside Wen Jingnian, the woman in armor turned her head and glared angrily at An Wuyang again. However, she stood up to Wen Jingnian with a threatening look in her eyes.

The situation was urgent, and An Wuyang had no time to attend to her, so he went straight to the point: "Lord Wen, I would like to borrow a team from you!"

After An Wuyang finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After all, she and Wen Jingnian had only known each other for a short time. If she suddenly asked for a team during a battle between the two armies, Wen Jingnian would probably not agree easily.

"it is good!"

Wen Jing chuckled and surprisingly agreed quite readily.

An Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief, but then a discordant voice rang out.

"Master, you mustn't!"

The woman beside Wen Jingnian tried to stop him, and her tone was very aggressive from the start.

"The two armies are facing off at an extremely critical juncture, and moreover, we are outnumbered, so the situation is already unfavorable!"

"At this point, she suddenly demanded that people be released. Who knows what her true intentions are?"

After the woman finished speaking, she glanced at An Wuyang twice, her face filled with contempt, and her expression was naturally extremely unpleasant.

"Don't talk nonsense about rain!"

Wen Jingnian scolded her, then said, "Madam An, I trust you completely. As many people as you need, I'll go and choose them right away!"

"master……"

Luo Yu was still dissatisfied and followed behind Wen Jingnian, trying to stop him.

Upon seeing this, An Wuyang lost the desire to ask Wen Jingnian for help.

"Lord Wen, there's no need for that trouble!"

After saying that, she went down the city wall on her own.

Wen Jingnian watched An Wuyang's retreating figure, about to stop him, when he saw Yan Jusheng step forward.

He rested the hilt of his sword on Wen Jingnian's arm.

"Lord Wen, I can fulfill all of Lady An's requests, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself!"

After speaking, Yan Juzhi followed An Wuyang down the city wall.

Seeing this, Luo Yu looked slightly smug.

"Master, at least she knows what's good for her!"

However, before Luo Yu could even feel happy, Wen Jingnian's expression turned visibly cold.

He was no longer as gentle as before; his expression was unusually cold.

"Somebody come!"

At a single command, people immediately obeyed.

"Tie Luoyu's hands and feet, lock her in the woodshed, and no one is allowed to let her out without my order!"

As Wen Jingnian's voice rang out, Luo Yu's face was filled with disbelief.

"Wen Jingnian, are you crazy? Your aunt will never approve of you treating me like this!"

Wen Jingnian remained expressionless, his eyes even colder and more distant.

"When Mother agreed to let you come with me, she should have already foreseen that I would treat you this way!"

"If you can't take it, leave immediately!"

A flash of hatred crossed Luo Yu's face: "You did all this for that rude woman..."

"take away!"

With a shout, Luo Yu was pulled away without any mercy.

……

After An Wuyang came down, he happened to meet Zhu Ying and Yan Yan, who were leading a small group of people and preparing to go to the city gate to provide support.

"Bamboo Shadow, I have something to tell you!"
