Chapter 504: Prince Yi descends from the sky

"Sir Zhou, there's someone at the west gate claiming to be Prince Yi. Please open the gate and let him in." A soldier guarding the gate came to report.

Lord Zhou threw a stone towards the city, knocking down a Chen soldier who was trying to climb up. He turned around and said in surprise, "Did you bring reinforcements?"

"It looks like there are less than a hundred people..." The soldier shook his head.

Lord Zhou showed disappointment on his face, but he still nodded: "The hundred men that Prince Yi brought must be brave, let them in and fight the enemy together!"

"Sir Zhou, don't let anyone in at this time unless they can prove their identity. It's not far from the West Gate to the South Gate. If it's Prince Yi, ask him to lead his men to the South Gate to help!"

Su Qianqian suggested at this time, her tone very firm.

“Well…will he be charged with murdering the royal family?” County Magistrate Zhou hesitated for a moment. Prince Yi has always had a good reputation.

"When the country is in crisis, we all share the same hatred for the enemy. If he is really Prince Yi, how could he not know the reason why the city gates were closed when he came here from Huizhou?" Su Qianqian said in a deep voice.

"That's right. I was also saying there was something strange... Just reply as Miss Su said, and ask Prince Yi to lead his men to the South Gate to defend against the enemy!" Magistrate Zhou ordered loudly.

"Nineteen! Lead the elderly, weak, women, children and the injured in the city out of the East Gate to the hot spring cave. The rest of the people who are willing to stay will join us in fighting the enemy. Those who are not willing can also hide in the hot spring cave. There are enough vegetables and rice there for survival!"

While Su Qianqian was giving orders to Nineteen, she used a crossbow to shoot at the Chen soldiers who were attacking the city.

"Madam, I am under the order of the Marquis to protect you. You cannot leave here!"

"You are now following my orders to protect the people. I have the ability to protect myself, but they don't. After you send them there, don't leave until someone sends a message that Muchuan is safe."

Su Qianqian reminded Qin Shijiu seriously.

Qin Shijiu had no choice but to grit his teeth and organize the people to push the carts and take the wounded away from Muchuan County.

"Okay, those who stay will stay with me, and live and die with Muchuan!" County Magistrate Zhou picked up a stone and threw it down again.

The sky gradually darkened, and everyone was ready to fight to the death. At this time, a group of people suddenly came from the side, and someone shouted: "His Royal Highness Prince Yi of Daqi is here, General Chen Guobai, stop!"

Su Qianqian looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhou Changshi in the light of the fire. There was a carriage parked behind him and he was surrounded by guards.

Su Qianqian's heart sank again. She turned around to look at the Chen people and found that they had stopped the attack under Bai Feng's order.

"Is that Magistrate Zhou on the city wall? I am the chief official under Prince Yi. Magistrate Zhou can open the city gates and negotiate with General Chen Guobai to save the people from suffering."

Zhou Changshi shouted loudly towards the city.

“Is it really Prince Yi?” Magistrate Zhou’s arm, which was holding the stone, trembled, but he still refused to put it down. However, he ordered the people on the city wall to stop shooting arrows temporarily and conserve firepower.

"Your Highness Prince Yi, it is a coincidence that we have traveled a long way to this small town in southern Xinjiang and happened to see the thieves of the State of Chen trying to capture our city!

Then please ask His Royal Highness Prince Yi to negotiate with the generals of the State of Chen outside the city and ask them to get out of the territory of the Great Qi and never offend again! ”

Su Qianqian said loudly.

When County Magistrate Zhou heard Su Qianqian say this, he felt for a moment as if he had missed something.

[Prince Yi actually colluded with foreign invaders just to borrow the power of the Chen people to gain control of Muchuan County! He is really ambitious and has been searching for the treasure left by the previous dynasty for many years.

Some time ago, he heard that the treasure was in Muchuan, so he bribed the general guarding the southern border to let the Chen army enter the country. Naturally, he also thought of a way to get rid of him and use Bai Feng to wipe out the roots!

Prince Yi is lurking in the north of Huizhou, waiting for Baifeng to capture Muchuan so that he can make a gesture to gain your trust, and then eliminate you completely after finding the treasure.

Unexpectedly, Muchuan was unable to capture the city after a long siege, and he was afraid that you would perish together with the Chen people, so he showed up at this time! 】

The system came out to eat melons, and its voice was full of anger.

County Magistrate Zhou, who was standing nearby, suddenly threw a large rock in the direction of Prince Yi. Although he didn't hit anyone, he felt relieved.

The Qin and Jiang family members on the city wall were all filled with anger. No matter how they argued among themselves, it was all behind closed doors. But if they colluded with foreign invaders, that would be treason!

"Is that the one on the city wall the wife of Marquis Wuning? Oh, I am being rude. I should call her Second Miss Su. I wonder why Second Miss Su, who had already divorced Marquis Wuning, ended up in this place of exile?"

Zhou Changshi looked up at the city wall, not knowing whether he really saw it or recognized it by the voice.

"Zhou Changshi is too nosy. It doesn't matter where I am. It's a big deal that Prince Yi has come all the way here. Prince Yi, please negotiate with the foreign invaders from Chen State first. After they leave, we can sit down and reminisce about the past."

Su Qianqian snorted coldly.

The carriage swayed slightly, the curtain opened, and an eunuch helped Prince Yi out of the carriage.

During the year Prince Yi had been in the capital, his skin had become much whiter. The dotted light from the fire on the dim ground made his expression look unclear.

"Miss Su, how are you? I came here originally to personally welcome Madam Qin and all the old and young ladies back to the capital, but I didn't expect to meet General Bai here... cough cough cough..."

A cool breeze blew by, and Prince Yi started coughing.

[I have to buy time so that the old, weak, women and children can reach the hot spring cave smoothly...]

Su Qianqian thought to herself as she watched Prince Yi's performance without any hurry.

"Oh? Prince Yi has been traveling around to recuperate in recent years, and his cough has not improved much. Why did he make friends with the general of the State of Chen?" Su Qianqian seemed quite curious.

"Well... How can the two countries always be at odds with each other? After all, neighboring countries still need to rely on each other. So I had the chance to meet General Bai and had a sincere talk with him."

Prince Yi's voice was a little low.

[Haha, you have offended him, he will hate you. Prince Yi hates it most when people mention his cough. 】The system chuckled.

[That’s great! My favorite thing is to make people who hate me hate me even more, but they can’t do anything about me! 】Su Qianqian was happy first.

"Prince Yi is really magnanimous. He treats the general who once invaded my Great Qi territory with such respect. If it were me, I would probably think of eight hundred ways to kill him. I am really ashamed of myself. I am too mean. Prince Yi is a true gentleman!"

Su Qianqian and Madam Qin and Old Man Jiang beside them were talking loudly, calling him "Prince Yi Bastard" one after another, but the guards and Zhou Changshi below did not dare to curse.

Prince Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the figure on the tower, and suddenly smiled:

"Miss Su, you are so kind! County Magistrate Zhou, why don't you open the city gate first? General Bai Feng is a guest from afar. Please invite him into the city to have a chat and clear up the misunderstanding, okay?"
