After Mu Jin eliminated Huang Xin, the general of Dongyue, the entire Dongyue army was leaderless. Su Yuntian then realized that Dongyue could not find anyone capable of taking on this great responsibility.

Therefore, Su Yuntian urgently summoned Huang Xin's cousin, Xiao Chuan, the military commander of the Imperial Guard, to become the new General of Dongyue.

The Dongyue army finally stormed into Liancheng at dusk, but by then Liancheng was already like a dead city.

Of course, both Dongyue and Nanshu tacitly agreed that Liancheng would inevitably be captured by Dongyue.

When the Eastern Yue army passed through Liancheng, what came into view was the river full of rotting corpses and the bodies of more than a thousand Southern Shu soldiers who had fought desperately to buy time for the people of Liancheng and the Southern Shu army to evacuate.

The remaining eight thousand Southern Shu soldiers only managed to evacuate quickly just before the city fell. After all, Su Yi had given them a death order before their retreat: they must withdraw before the city fell, and not fight a losing battle.

After the Eastern Yue army breached the city, they merely searched the city and, finding no trace of the Southern Shu soldiers, immediately pursued and killed the Southern Shu army through another city gate.

When Su Yi and the others led the people of Liancheng to a valley twenty miles from Liangcheng, they heard faint sounds of fighting coming from the foot of the mountain. The sounds of fighting grew louder until they were deafening.

Only then did the people on the mountain see more and more Dongyue soldiers fighting with the Nanshu soldiers who had gone to meet them.

"Ah Jin, you and the Emperor lead the people to Liangmen Pass quickly. I will lead the soldiers to fight them!"

"No!" Mu Jin frowned, spurred her horse forward, and said, "Brother, go back to the city first. I'll go and fight them."

Before Mu Yan could stop her, Mu Jin rode her horse and charged down the mountain.

The soldiers Su Yi brought to Liancheng this time were only half of the Dongyue soldiers. If they were to fight Dongyue, they might not necessarily gain any advantage.

Su Yi climbed onto Yinglong and hurriedly said to Mu Yan, "Ajin and I will definitely hold out until reinforcements arrive. You take the people of Liancheng and quickly retreat to Liangmen Pass."

"There's a large army from Southern Shu on the mountain." The Eastern Yue soldier shouted to Xiao Chuan beside him, "General, let's retreat."

The army of Southern Shu occupied high ground, giving them a geographical advantage.

The Dongyue army was in a low position, and the entire army was somewhat apprehensive before receiving any orders.

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, an arrow pierced his body. The archer was none other than Su Yuntian. At that moment, Su Yuntian was dressed in full armor and covered with a long felt cloak, riding a horse and standing behind him.

“If anyone tries to disrupt morale again!” Su Yuntian said coldly, “that will be their fate.”

Xiao Chuan was startled, only to see at the foot of the mountain, a leading general from Southern Shu riding a warhorse and leading his soldiers in a fierce battle. He had always served in the palace and had never seen such a scene before; his legs trembled involuntarily.

"Kill them!"

At the foot of the mountain came Mu Jin's screams, her voice resounding like thunder throughout the entire battlefield.

Su Yuntian stopped in his tracks amidst the thunderous sound of approaching hooves. He recognized Mu Jin at a glance, the woman he loved but could not have.

At this moment, she has transformed into a brave and fearless female general, leading the soldiers of Southern Shu in a fierce battle against his Eastern Yue army.

Su Yuntian was momentarily dazed.

Is this still the Mu Jin he knows? The Mu Jin who lived with him in the Yunwang Mansion for three years, who waited for him to return home every day, rain or shine?

Perhaps this is how she was always meant to be; it's just that I didn't get to know her or cherish her properly back then.

The Mu family members are born to fight on the battlefield. Even the once delicate and frail Princess Yun is now fighting on the battlefield with a sword, which is perfectly natural for her.

Su Yi looked around and suddenly remembered that this was the valley where they had ambushed the Eastern Yue corpse soldiers a few days ago, and this place was not suitable for fighting.

After all, it had been raining for days and the area was surrounded by mountains. If the noise was too loud, it could easily cause a landslide.

In southern Sichuan, landslides are a very common occurrence.

However, when the two armies inevitably meet, the flames of war are ignited instantly, and they no longer have the opportunity to choose where to fight.

At that moment, Su Yi didn't have time to think much before protecting Mu Jin and fighting alongside her. Their teamwork was seamless.

Mu Jin was like an arrow in the wind, launching precise and swift long-range attacks, making each of her moves impossible for the enemy to defend against.

Su Yi's every sword swing was full of power and decisiveness, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.

The sounds of battle echoed like thunder throughout the surrounding mountains, growing ever more powerful and awe-inspiring.

The sound was like a death song from hell, or a redemption from heaven, making people tremble.

Right now, the flames of war not only illuminate the entire valley, but also fall upon the two men.

The two fought tirelessly, not only to help the people of Liancheng retreat to Liangmen Pass, but also to end the war as soon as possible. If possible, it would be best to fight to the death tonight.

But when Su Yi looked up, it seemed that there were far fewer Dongyue soldiers around, and even Su Yuntian's shadow was nowhere to be seen.

Su Yi flew down to Mu Jin's side and said, "Something's wrong! Retreat immediately!"

Mu Jin also sensed something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes and turned to lead her soldiers to retreat up the mountain. But suddenly, she also sensed a deadly aura.

Su Yuntian's greatest hatred in this life was for Su Yi, and later also for Mu Jin, whom he loved but could not have. If the two armies were fighting openly, he would definitely rush forward to settle scores with Su Yi and Mu Jin immediately.

But this time he didn't. He only appeared in the valley at the beginning, luring Su Yi and Mu Jin into battle. Once Su Yi and Mu Jin entered the battlefield, he vanished!

There must be some conspiracy involved. Just as the two were thinking this, a rumbling sound suddenly came from all around, like distant thunder approaching.

However, it was drowned out by the shouts of battle, and few people on the battlefield could hear it.

But who were Su Yi and Mu Jin? They were exceptionally perceptive, and the slight tremor of the ground made them instantly realize what was about to happen. The sound was that the mountain was collapsing.

Seeing this, Su Yi picked up the Southern Shu battle flag from somewhere, raised it high, and shouted, "Retreat quickly!"

As the tremors on the ground became more and more pronounced, the soldiers on both sides sensed something was wrong and began to fight and retreat separately.

Mu Jin and Su Yi immediately led the Southern Shu soldiers back along the mountain path they had taken.

However, as they approached the foot of the mountain, the ground began to shake more and more violently, and the sound of thunder filled their ears. People on the ground were staggering and had difficulty standing, just like an earthquake had occurred.

The soldiers of Southern Shu were at a loss.

The cold wind and drizzle dampened Mu Jin's hair, which clung to her face. When she suddenly looked up, she saw a huge boulder rolling down the mountain with the mud. Mu Jin was terrified by the sight before her.

"Ah Jin, run!" Su Yi's furious shout rang in her ears.
