This Gu Qian is cold-hearted and cruel.

Although he had not yet achieved any merit, at least he had used him.

"Your Highness, let's not get emotional at this point. If we didn't still have some troops at our disposal, do you think General Gu would still use us?"

After Liang Jie finished speaking, he looked at the 50,000 remaining soldiers in the distance.

That's right, the bombing just now was mainly aimed at destroying the royal family.

This also resulted in the loss of half of their troops.

"Troop strength?" Qi Heng nodded, and then saw the remaining remnants of the army slowly approaching Liang Jie.

In their eyes was the relief of surviving a disaster.

Then they sat on the ground and began to wail loudly.

The cries carried far and wide, touching the hearts of every soldier.

Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar figures of the soldiers, Qi Heng asked Liang Jie:

"Where is General Yue? Is he still alive?"

Without a second thought, Liang Jie said, "They must have escaped."

As a general of the country, Liang Jie believed that General Yue should not be dead.

He guessed that General Yue must have entered the city and reunited with his wife and children.

After all, the bombing just now was terrifying.

What Qi Heng, what Shangguan Hong, what Dong Sheng?

In times of crisis, nothing is more important than his family.

Liang Jie had just quietly gone home.

It was because Gu Qian failed to kill Qi Heng that Liang Jie truly trusted Gu Qian.

Now they have no way out. If they don't follow Gu Qian, should they follow that prince of Western Qin?

The prince of Western Qin would only exterminate them.

He bent down and carried Qi Heng on his back.

"Your Highness, please bear with it."

Qiu Dafu's side,

He, along with Commandant Qin and Qiu Dayu, secretly followed them all the way to the foot of the city gate.

Seeing Qin Feng stop, he waved his arm to Feng Qi and their soldiers behind him.

Qiu Dafu and his two companions also stopped and hid in the shadows.

Qiu Dayu stared intently at Qin Feng's figure. He looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

He asked the two of them,

"The prince of Western Qin wants to leave the city? What should we do?"

"Should we stop him or not? What do you think, Brother Qiu?" Captain Qin said, his gaze falling on Qiu Dafu.

He figured that since his side also had gunpowder, it would be better to fight a real battle than to try and sneak around.

However, the general refused, and he dared not make the decision on his own.

Qiu Dafu never expected that a dignified military captain would ask for his opinion.

He shook his head.

“If Qin Feng wants to leave the city, we can’t stop him. Conversely, if they don’t want to leave the city, we can’t drive them away. So, if they want to leave the city, let them be.”

He actually hoped that Qin Feng would leave the city.

He knew that they were now in a passive position.

He also knew that Qin Feng had been keeping an eye on Gu Qian's whereabouts the whole way.

Listening to his second brother's analysis, Qiu Dayu replied:

"Second brother, I think Qin Feng and the others are leaving here and going back to their hometown in Western Qin."

“No, he will never leave easily.” Qiu Dafu knew Qin Feng’s hatred for Gu Qian.

As Qiu Dafu finished speaking, a whooshing sound of wind rang out.

Gu Qian slowly landed beside the three of them.

He said, "He won't leave unless Qin Feng gets his revenge."

He glanced silently at Qin Feng's frail body, wondering just how much gunpowder they had.

"Old friend, since you're here, why not come out and meet me?" Qin Feng looked up at the sky, gazing at the vast, empty streets in the distance.

"Gu Qian, I know you're nearby!"
