Before he could speak again, Qin Yue Zhao shouted to Huo Ting Ye, "Get out of the way! The gods say there are even better things to bestow, don't let them hit you!"

Before Nan Qingyun could react, a dark figure descended from the sky.

"Clang!"

"Moo—"

A bull slammed right into him, knocking him off his horse and onto the ground.

The cow got up and stomped on him several times.

Then came the almost broken screams of the Nan family army:

"Ah, General Nan Qingyun, are you alright? If you're alright, open your eyes and look! So many cows... oh no, so many sheep, and pigs too!"

"My goodness, I've never seen so many pigs in my entire life!"

"The Huo family army is eating so well! After chicken, duck, and vegetables, there's still beef, lamb, and pork to eat. I don't want to leave!"

Upon hearing this, countless members of the Nan family army followed in the footsteps of the Huo family army, chasing chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep all over the square.

The entire square was in an uproar.

Nearly half of the Nan family army shouted as they chased after them, "We're not leaving! We're going anywhere to survive. Liangcheng is so lucky to have so much food. Even if we die, we'll die with our fill!"

"Who told us that the gods no longer protect His Highness? That's utter nonsense! We're not leaving!"

"Yes! Your Highness will surely be able to persuade the gods to grant a cure for the plague. We're not leaving!"

Upon hearing the soldiers' words, Nan Qingyun suddenly got up from the ground and kicked the nearest soldier to the ground.

"You bastards! You bunch of bastards, these things don't belong to Qin Yuezhao at all, they belong to..."

Since they hadn't left the city yet, he didn't say anything. Instead, he swallowed his anger and looked at Qin Yue Zhao, shouting, "Your Highness, please open the city gates and don't delay the Nan family army's departure!"

Seeing that things had developed this way, and that he was still going his own way, Qin Yue Zhao finally waved her hand at Huo Ting Ye.

"Open the city gates!"

In an instant, the city gates swung open.

Nan Qingyun leaped onto his horse and galloped away like a bolt of lightning.

Behind him were still a few so-called loyal soldiers and a group of soldiers who wanted to return to the south city.

Qin Yue Zhao did not stop them. She watched them walk out the door before looking at the Nan family army that remained.

"We will not return until we conquer Loulan; we will defend our homeland and guard the border. Are the Southern Army willing to remain in Liangcheng?"

At that moment, all the soldiers of the Southern Family Army stopped what they were doing and looked up in unison.

"We will not return until Loulan is conquered; we will defend our homeland and guard the borders. The Southern Army is willing to follow Your Highness to the death!"

Qin Yue Zhao narrowed her cold eyes and looked at Chen Nuo.

With just one glance, Chen Nuo quickly went upstairs.

Almost simultaneously, Qin Yue Zhao casually picked up a crossbow and tossed it into his arms.

"Shen Nuo is the only commander of the Southern Army whom I acknowledge. Today, you shall punish this traitor!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo jumped up, grabbed a crossbow, and aimed it at Nan Qingyun, who was galloping out of Liangcheng.

"Whoosh—"

With a flash of cold light, the arrow shot out like lightning, piercing through Nan Qingyun's chest from behind and embedding itself deeply in the ground, trembling several times before settling still.

Blood gushed out, and Nan Qingyun stared in disbelief, clutching his chest as he fell to the ground.

The generals behind them all turned their heads.

When they saw Chen Nuo holding an arrow on the city wall, they all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

They've rebelled! They've completely rebelled!

Qin Yezhao used Shen Nuo to kill General Nan Qingyun; this is an act of rebellion!

However, before they could even ask any questions, countless arrows whistled out.
