Murong Chui's ranch outside the imperial city.
The steward jogged all the way to Murong Chui's tent.
Murong Chui lay on the bed, closing his eyes to rest.
Several young girls were serving him nearby.
"General, something terrible has happened."
"If there's anything bad or anything has happened, just tell us. The sky won't fall down."
"That bastard Jiang Tian has transferred all the imperial army away."
"How many troops does the imperial court still have? Most of them are in the hands of my two sons." Murong Chui had no interest in this matter at all.
"General, you may not know this, but a large-scale conscription has been carried out both inside and outside the city."
It is said that, including the imperial army, a total of 800,000 troops were conscripted.
"What..." Murong Chui couldn't believe his ears. "Where did so many people come from? Jiang Tian, that bastard, how did he get such great ability to recruit so many people?"
"I don't know either."
"What about the 800,000 troops?"
"They have already set off for the north. These people are all in high spirits and ready to fight the Russians to the death."
Even if Murong Chui racked his brains, he couldn't understand how an army of 800,000 suddenly appeared.
“These people are overestimating themselves. They’re courting death.” Murong Chui sat up.
"General, only Jiang Tian's tens of thousands of troops remain in the capital. Shouldn't we inform the two young masters to find an opportunity to eliminate Jiang Tian?"
Murong Chui shook his head.
Jiang Tian had become his inner demon.
Those Rakshasa were so fierce, yet Jiang Tian still managed to subdue them completely.
He didn't want his two sons to go and die.
"My lord, a large section of the city wall has collapsed."
Attacking the imperial city poses no challenge whatsoever for the two princes' armies.
“Even so, I cannot send my two sons to their deaths.” Murong Chui still rejected the idea outright.
"My lord, have you forgotten about the Qilin Smoke?" the steward reminded him.
"Besides, once the adults buy 20,000 guns and 200 cannons from the Russians..."
With these weapons in place, and combined with the Qilin Smoke, the armies of the two young masters will surely be invincible and unstoppable.
The steward's words rekindled Murong Chui's hope, which had been fading from his hope.
“You’re right. As long as Jiang Tian lives, I will never have a peaceful day.”
"I don't want to be a stray dog for the rest of my life, being chased around by people."
Before Murong Chui could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the tent.
"General, Lord Jiang has sent someone to see you."
Upon hearing this, Murong Chui was nearly scared to death.
"Who leaked the news? How did they know I was here?"
Before Murong Chui could finish speaking, Ling Yunzhi lifted the curtain.
"General Murong, our master requests your presence."
"Where to?"
"Return to the Marshal's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Murong Chui reached for the curved sword beside him.
"General Murong, I advise you to be careful and not to act rashly. If something happens, it will be difficult to handle."
This time, not only Jiang Tian's personal guards came, but also a couple hundred Imperial Guards.
Murong Chui nodded: "This is my territory. You think you can kidnap me? You're still too green."
Soon, a series of horn sounds rang out from outside.
Thousands of herders rushed over.
These herdsmen were all incredibly fierce; they carried scimitars at their waists and bows and arrows in their hands.
"You people, trespassing on my ranch without permission, you're all tired of living." Murong Chui, who was usually meek and submissive, became unusually tough again.
All the bodyguards quickly raised their guns.
"General Murong, it seems you're planning to refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences," Lu Jianxing said coldly.
"I won't take a toast, nor will I take a penalty shot. I still have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command. You bastards who want to oppose me, I advise you to weigh your own capabilities."
"Put down your weapons, and I may allow you to leave with your bodies intact."
"Otherwise, I'll chop you all up."
Just then, gunshots rang out.
The herders who rushed over were shot down before they could even react.
The herdsmen all drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Arrows rained down.
All of Jiang Tian's personal guard cavalry wore bright armor.
These herdsmen were brave and skilled in battle, and their archery was unparalleled.
However, their arrows couldn't penetrate the armor at all.
The arrows clanged and clattered against the armor, sparks flying, before falling to the ground.
However, what awaited these herders was a barrage of bullets.
Gunshots rang out continuously.
With each volley of bullets fired, many enemy soldiers fell to the ground.
Ling Yunzhi, gripping his horse-slaying saber, rushed in front of Murong Chui and swiftly held the saber to Murong Chui's neck.
"Want to die?" Ling Yunzhi lightly slashed with his horse-slaying saber, and a long wound instantly appeared on Murong Chui's neck.
Fresh blood gushed out from inside.
"Tell your men to drop their weapons."
"If you have the guts, then kill me. You want me to go see Jiang Tian, which means you want me dead."
Even if I die here, I will never see Jiang Tian again.
Murong Chui knew very well that if he went to Jianjiangtian now, he would only face certain death.
"Fine..." Ling Yunzhi roared, "Kill all of this scoundrel's men in front of him!"
