Chapter 505: Convergence

The guard hesitated: "It is much more powerful than gunpowder, but it doesn't seem to be gunpowder. It's too dark to see clearly. It's a dark thing..."

It was the same as saying nothing. King Nangong gritted his teeth and said: "Waste!"

"Go! Let them all wait in the hall!"

This "they" refers to the elders and ministers who heard the news and rushed over.

The guards retreated quickly.

King Nangong sorted out his clothes and paused when he went out. He didn't go into the hall, but went to the side.

Erzhu Huaji and Tudora were imprisoned inside .

After the news of the death of the high priest came, Tudora's last hope was shattered. She lay on the bed with a dead heart, as if waiting to die.

If Erzhu Huaji hadn't force-fed her food every day, Tudora would have died long ago.

The King of Nangong strode in without even looking at his daughter, whom he had once doted on like a jewel. He simply waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately stepped forward to suppress Erzhu Huaji.

"Father?"

Doubt flashed in Erzhu Huaji's eyes, but the King of Nangong had no intention of explaining to him. He walked out without saying a word.

The guards dragged Erzhu Huaji out.

"Father? What are you doing? Tudora..."

"She will catch up in a while."

The King of Nangong's voice sounded unusually cold and chilly. Erzhu Huaji's heart tightened and he dared not speak again.

Being pressed into the palace, hearing the noisy sounds and seeing the panicked expressions on everyone's faces, Erzhu Huaji's premonition grew stronger.

What on earth happened? !

A man stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, according to the people along the way, they are heading towards the dense forest and are expected to arrive in the daytime tomorrow."

"We have also investigated the hidden people of Tianqi. They all came in when we were looking for gunpowder. The miasma in the dense forest was still thick at that time. It was absolutely impossible for them to come in alone. Someone must have led the way for them!"

Who could lead the way for them?

Only the witch doctor who suddenly came back and suddenly disappeared.

And that day, he was the high priest whom he brought the Tianqi envoy to see.

Bai Yan!

He shouldn't have withdrawn his people at that time!

King Nanlong gritted

his teeth. At this moment, it was useless to be furious. King Nanlong suppressed his anger and said, "The city gate has been broken, the army has caught up, Shan Tai is dead, and the army cannot be without a leader."

Everyone bowed their heads again.

But this time they did not have the right to choose. King Nanlong said directly, "Gongta, you have the most experience under the Great Elder. This time, you must lead the army..." He paused for a few seconds before saying, "You must cease fire." ?

? ?

The trembling people raised their heads in unison.

Must what? Truce? !

Shouldn't it be that we must take the heads of those two men?

King Nanlong said calmly: "When the envoy of Tianqi first came, he said that he just wanted an explanation. Erzhu Huaji and Tudola will go with you. As long as they agree to a ceasefire, Nanlong will not pursue their lives or deaths!"

!!!

Erzhu Huaji, who was suppressed at the side, raised his head suddenly.

Does this mean to give up on them? !

"Father! They killed Clo and the high priest! If you go to ask for peace now, aren't you making a fuss..."

The guards serving at the side raised a cloth and blocked Erzhu Huaji's mouth.

The King of Nangong was reluctant to leave, but Erzhu Huaji's accusation broke his heart. He stood up and said, "This matter is urgent. You should leave immediately."

He took a few steps and stopped again. "By the way, it will take some time to go back and forth. In order to avoid accidents, I will take care of Amusa myself. You can go with peace of mind."

Gongta's hands hanging by his side suddenly shrank, and the snake on the crutch also raised its head slightly, with its pupils erected.

"...Yes."

...

After seeing the power of gunpowder in front of the city gate, the Nangong army did not dare to get too close, and Jiang Zhiyu and others also slowed down.

After taking Jiang Zhiyu's detoxification pills, Casas's will has returned to clarity.

But his body's recovery has not kept up, so he can only ride on the same horse with Jiang Wenjing.

Everyone tacitly did not speak.

The scene on the city wall was blocked and could not be seen clearly, but from the attitude of the Nanlong people and the insects attracted by his sweat, Jiang Wenjing could basically imagine what Casas had experienced before.

No wonder he didn't care and even looked forward to the destruction of Nanlong.

They arrived at the entrance of the dense forest in silence. Xiao Mingye and others had been waiting there for a long time. Just when he thought Bai Yan was betraying them, a soldier exclaimed in surprise: "Here they come! Is that Jiang Yushi?!"

Xiao Mingye looked up and heard a rumbling sound of horse hooves, and a group of people and horses came flying.

"Line up!"

The army immediately got ready.

Xiao Mingye's expression, which was somewhat alert at first, gradually softened as he saw the troops approaching.

Everyone stood in front of the army. Xiao Mingye was about to speak, but he saw them turn their horses' heads, as if they were waiting for something.

After a while, the chaotic sound of horse hooves rang out.

The Nanjun Army had already prepared their crossbows, and their pupils shrank when they saw the dark and overwhelming crowd on the opposite side.

How is it possible? !

How did they get in from the dense forest? !

The unbelievable fact made them unable to help but take a few steps back. Without a commander, they were like a group of dragons without a leader, and they moved their steps hesitantly.

"Retreat! Go and report to the king!"

One person spoke, and everyone immediately retreated.

Only when the Nan Gu Army was no longer visible did Jiang Zhiyu and the others dismount.

"What took so long? What happened? Why didn't you take action just now?"

Xiao Mingye couldn't help asking.

"It's a long story. We didn't take action because we had to be well prepared. Otherwise, when the fight started, we would be trapped by insects. We would not only have to deal with outsiders, but also with our own people."

Xiao Mingye: "..."

He shut up.

He had seen the horror of the dense forest once, and he didn't want to see the horror of insects again.

"What are the casualties?"

Xiao Mingye sighed lightly: "We have lost a hundred people before the fight started."

Only Bai Yan led the team. The miasma in the dense forest was pervasive. Even with multiple protections, there would always be people who couldn't get out.

No one could do anything about this.

If the dense forest was really that easy to enter, I'm afraid the Southern Dragon would have ceased to exist.

Jiang Zhiyu nodded.

Several people entered the main account together.

Casas knew his identity and did not follow in. He just found a stone and sat down.

He took a deep breath, his face happy. After a while, he lifted up his robe and looked at the tattered clothes with regret.

If I had known, I would not wear this that day!

But...

Casas' eyes were fixed on the patrolling soldiers.

The clothes they were wearing looked pretty good, and he wanted them!

The patrolling soldiers walked without looking sideways, but they could all feel a pair of eyes following them like a shadow.
