Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Chapter 469 Someone Already Had Been Chosen

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Yu Hao wanted to suggest that he go, but seeing the way Yang Sanlang looked at Zhao Yan, he wisely kept quiet and said nothing.

Yang Sanlang nodded and instructed Yu Hao: "Haozi, wait until the city gates open before leading people in. Remember, do not act rashly. We must go in quietly."

If the commotion is too great, the barbarian armies stationed on the east and west sides might notice, and Dou Huai'an and his men would be put in a passive position.

Yu Hao naturally understood the reasoning behind it and nodded silently.

"Don't worry, Brother Yang, I understand."

"Ah."

Yang Sanlang responded softly, put his arm around Zhao Yan's slender waist, and with a light tap of his toes, he flew away with her.

He led Zhao Yan up the city wall, and the two of them quickly dispatched the barbarian soldiers above with swift strokes of their swords.

Then Yang Sanlang and Zhao Yan exchanged a glance, and Yang Sanlang led her down the city wall from a corner. As usual, the two of them quickly dealt with the barbarian soldiers on duty below.

After dealing with these people, Yang Sanlang threw a pebble towards where Yu Hao and the others were hiding.

Upon hearing the voice, Yu Hao's eyes sharpened, and he quickly gestured behind him, "Everyone, follow quietly."

Then, he led his men quietly and systematically into the barbarian capital.

Led by Yang Sanlang, they quickly made their way to the outskirts of the barbarian king's palace.

At each palace gate, there were about twenty barbarian soldiers guarding the entrance.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Yang Sanlang ordered Yu Hao to disperse his men to guard various palace gates, but forbade them to make any rash moves until he had captured Gao Da.

This was also something he had agreed upon with Dou Huai'an and others.

Dou Huai'an and Zhang Liang will only begin their attack once he has captured Gao Da.

This is the safest approach, as it avoids prematurely exposing either party.

Yu Hao replied softly, "Okay, Brother Yang and Sister-in-law, just go ahead. I'll stay here with some men."

Yang Sanlang glanced at him, and then he and Zhao Yan leaped over the palace wall and rushed inside.

Gundam has been back for several days now.

These past few days he has been sending people to the capital to deliver messages, his aim being to seek forgiveness from Emperor Dou Qingran of the Great Ruan Dynasty.

However, the northern region is too far from the capital, and he has not yet received any reply.

Gao Da was very anxious, but Wu Tu Hu's whereabouts were still unknown, and Wu Tu Xiong had been shot dead by Dou Huai An with an arrow. Now, in this palace, he was the boss.

In the few days since he came back, he has spent every night with beautiful women, finally indulging in his desire to be the boss.

But when the night is quiet, he has nightmares, and after waking up from them, he can't fall back asleep.

When Yang Sanlang and Zhao Yan found him, he had just woken up from a nightmare, covered in sweat.

His gaze shifted and met Yang Sanlang's dark, deep eyes.

"Ah! Who are you? Help! Help—"

Before he could shout again, Zhao Yan, dressed in black, slashed at him with a blade.

"Uh--"

Gao Da felt a sharp pain in his neck, and before he could say anything, his head tilted to the side and he fell to the ground.

The beautiful woman who had spent the night with him was naturally not spared and had her throat slit by Zhao Yan in her sleep.

With Gao Da dead, Yang Sanlang no longer hesitated and immediately took the signal flare given to him by Zhao Yan and sent it outside.

Upon seeing the signal above the palace, Yu Hao, Dou Huai'an, and the others immediately tensed up, grabbed their broadswords, and led their men forward.

Whether it was the barbarian soldiers stationed east and west of the royal city or the barbarian soldiers guarding the royal palace, they were all startled and panicked by the sudden appearance of the Nguyen Dynasty soldiers.

Dou Huai'an and his men appeared out of nowhere, charging left and right among the terrified barbarian soldiers, quickly scattering them in all directions.

When the barbarians realized they had to resist, they found their companions either dead or had fled. Seeing that they could not win, they had no choice but to surrender.

The attack started suddenly and ended just as quickly.

In less than an hour, Dou Huai'an and his men had killed half of the 200,000-strong barbarian army, and the rest were captured alive.

Yang Sanlang, Yu Hao, and others quickly occupied the barbarian palace, and then, together with Dou Huai'an and others, they captured all the city gates of the barbarian capital and replaced them with their own people.

At this point, the entire barbarian capital was in the hands of Yang Sanlang and his men.

The barbarian people inside the city were so frightened by the sounds of fighting and killing that they hid in their homes and dared not come out.

After the fighting ended, it was almost dawn.

Yang Sanlang wrote a letter and sent someone to the capital as quickly as possible.

They unexpectedly occupied the barbarians' stronghold. I need to tell Dou Qingran about this as soon as possible and see what he thinks.

Dou Huai'an stationed his army around the capital, keeping a close watch on any barbarians who tried to escape.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yang Sanlang discussed with Dou Huai'an the idea of returning to the farm with Zhao Yan.

To his surprise, Dou Huai'an grabbed him and wouldn't let him leave. He advised Zhao Yan and the other woman, "Sister-in-law, Sanlang, there's still no news from the Emperor. You should stay here and see what he says before you leave."

Yang Sanlang looked troubled.

He knew that Yan'er actually wanted to go back right now.

But what Brother Dou said is also true. Regarding the issue of the barbarians, we do need to hear what the Emperor has to say.

Before he could speak, Zhao Yan spoke first.

She said, "Brother Huai'an is right. Sanlang and I will not leave. We will wait for news from the Emperor before we depart."

Yang Sanlang was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Is Yan'er not leaving again?

At that moment, Zhao Yan gave him an indifferent look.

She was eager to go back and see Xiao Fubao and the others, but now she had a new idea.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be grown elsewhere, perhaps even in the North.

In fact, sweet potatoes grown in sandy soil taste even better.

So she decided to stay and try planting sweet potatoes for the time being.

However, she hadn't had a chance to tell Yang Sanlang about this yet, so he was still unaware of it.

After hearing Zhao Yan's words, Dou Huai'an immediately patted Yang Sanlang on the shoulder and said, "Haha, that's right. This time, thanks to my sister-in-law and Sanlang for leading the way, we should have a good drink together."

Yang Sanlang put away his ulterior motives and put on a smile.

"Yes, we should have a good drink."

I have a feeling that his daughter Yan'er has some new ideas.

He silently hoped it wasn't something he wouldn't even dare to think about.

……

The people traveling to the capital traveled day and night and finally arrived in the capital on the eighth day.

When Dou Qingran received Yang Sanlang's letter and read it quickly, she stood up excitedly.

"Great! Excellent! I knew Saburo wouldn't let me down!"

Saburo and his men actually captured the barbarian capital!

This is what his father wanted to do most before he died!

Unexpectedly, Sanlang and his team managed to get it done!

How could he not be excited!
