"I didn't hear you, my lord, you must have heard it wrongly."

Su Qian turned around and headed towards the city gate: "I want to go and take a look."

Cuiwei rushed to Su Qian and blocked her way. "My dear, you can't go. You are a weak scholar, how can you help us if you go? Besides, the general has ordered me to take you to the tunnel for refuge, so I have no choice but to obey."

Su Qian opened her mouth, but Cui Wei interrupted her anxiously before she could say anything. "The general and his men didn't tell you about the plan early on, which means they're suspicious of you. Now that war has broken out, the general and his men have no time to care about you. If you go, not only will you be unable to help, but you might also upset the general, and make him angry and suspicious. What will happen to your future?"

"If your method can help Zhiyi City and Nanchang State survive this crisis, the general will certainly seek a reward for you in the future. Your future is right in front of you. Why do you need to go through this dangerous journey? What if you lose your life?"

Cuiwei argued solemnly, "Therefore, I absolutely cannot let you go!"

"Cuiwei! I have my reasons for going there, no need to explain further."

Su Qian had just taken two steps when she was knocked unconscious by a man in black who appeared out of nowhere. Cui Wei subconsciously supported her, "Who... who are you?"

The man in black ignored her and ordered the other two men in black, "Drag her back and keep her under guard. Don't let her out without the master's order."

The other two replied in unison: "Yes."

After saying that, the two men took Su Qian from Cuiwei and dragged her away together.

Cuiwei looked at the summons, but felt helpless: "You...what are you doing!?"

The leading man in black said, "Shut up. Either follow me or get out of here."

When Cuiwei heard what he said, she knew that they had no intention of harming Su Qian, so she raised her leg and followed them.

Seeing Cuiwei leave, the man in black snorted fiercely: "Fool, you almost ruined the master's plan."

…

After doing this, the man in black immediately rushed towards the city gate.

On the city wall, Lu Huan was dressed in black, black and gold armor, and a red battle robe. He had sharp eyebrows and a handsome face. His cold, arrogant and lonely temperament was accompanied by a strong sense of majesty.

The man in black knelt on one knee behind him and said, "Master, everything has been handled. However, I don't know why Su Zhao insisted on coming to the city wall. Fortunately, my subordinates arrived in time, knocked her unconscious, and dragged her back to be locked up."

Another soldier on the city wall was shot in the neck. He staggered away, trying to leave, his bloodshot eyes filled with fear and terror.

Lu Huan glanced at him calmly, his tone unusually cold: "Deserter, kill without mercy."

The wound on the soldier's throat was extremely painful, and the words that Lu Huan blurted out shocked him even more. He stammered and tried to explain, but only uttered a few painful groans.

Before he could finish his words, someone came forward and chopped off the soldier's head. Blood immediately spilled all over the ground. The other soldiers guarding the city glanced at him in horror, then quickly looked away and focused their energy on defending the city.

Whistling arrows flew past their ears. In this area, screams and shouts of charging were heard continuously. Large numbers of soldiers fell in pools of blood, and were immediately replaced by the next batch.

As the corpses piled up on the city wall, some people rolled their bodies into a ball and threw them down the wall. This not only cleared the corpses that were taking up space, but also served as heavyweight weapons to hit the Fengyuan soldiers who were climbing up.

Lu Huan looked at her coldly: "She wants to come to the city wall, what is she doing here?"

The man in black replied, "I don't know. She just insisted on coming and didn't say why."

"She's a woman of her own ideas. Let's keep an eye on her for now. We'll need her later, but she's indispensable now."

"How about sending the troops from Jizhou?"

"Everything is fine. We followed the general's instructions and crossed the Longxi River. We took the waterway, so we won't be discovered by the Fengyuan people."

Lu Huan: "That's good. Everything will be carried out according to the previous plan without any mistakes."

"I obey your order. I will take my leave first."

…

Lu Huanxing reached the entrance of the city wall and looked at Yan Xuanye, who was not far away. He sat upright on horseback, dressed in a dark black and gold python robe. His angular face looked as if it had been carved by a god himself, but his face was stern and his expression was dark, emitting a chill and murderous aura.

Lu Huan knew what he was angry about. Two months ago, he killed the witch with an arrow. Ever since then, Yan Xuanye had always wanted to take his head to avenge the witch.

He was so angry and humiliated for a mere woman that it was a shame for him to regard Yan Xuanye as his opponent.

As the fighting calmed down, Lu Huan spoke loudly, "Your Highness, Prince of Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you've been gathering talented people to revive the goddess. I wonder if she's doing well now?"

Yan Xuanye looked at Lu Huan coldly, "Lu Huan, I will definitely resurrect the goddess. However, before that, I will kill you. First, to avenge the goddess, and second, as long as you are around, the goddess will be in danger for one more day."

"Dangerous?" Lu Huan pondered the words, his eyes seemed to be filled with the most toxic poison, and then he slowly smiled.

This smile puzzled everyone present, but he laughed crazily as if he didn't care. After laughing, he looked at Yan Xuanye quietly and said, "It's indeed dangerous."

"If there is another chance, I will make that witch die again. The more pain I can cause you, the happier I will be."

Yan Xuanye said coldly: "Madman."
