Why would Zhong Erfei listen to Shen Yong?
Could it be that the Zhong and Chen families were only at odds on the surface, but had been secretly colluding with each other for a long time?
Otherwise, why was there no news from the northwest, and Chen Yong arrived in Danyun City without anyone noticing?
"......." Master Zhang was also confused, his mind in a mess, "How... How is this possible..."
"Expanding the city wall is such a huge project. Is Chen Yong crazy enough to do something that would benefit others?"
The purpose of expanding and rebuilding the city walls is to defend against the neighboring country, the Fire Phoenix Country.
Chen Yong hasn't even taken over the Great Celestial Empire yet, but he's already started doing this kind of thing. This is a bit putting the cart before the horse.
Expanding the city wall requires so much manpower, material resources and financial resources. How could the Shen family have such great ability?
Prefect Wen looked at Master Zhang in astonishment.
The two of them stared at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
Just as the two of them were racking their brains, the city gate tower suddenly shook.
Prefect Wen glared and turned around to look at the official road.
“Here…here…”
The billowing dust rising from the official road seemed to be about to submerge Danyun City.
The sight of the cavalry galloping through the thick smoke made Governor Wen's heart tremble.
This momentum shows that these are well-trained soldiers.
Master Zhang opened his mouth wide, looking at the endless soldiers behind the thick smoke in shock.
"There really are... 300,000 soldiers..."
It's true that you can see farther when you stand higher. From this perspective, the momentum of the incoming large army seems even more frightening.
"Go, go, go, go down and greet them!"
Magistrate Wen, holding up his robe, strode wildly towards the city gate tower.
Master Zhang withdrew his gaze and hurriedly ran downstairs.
As soon as the two of them got off the gate, they saw the city gate guards rushing towards them with a nervous look on their faces.
"Sir, it seems that a large number of cavalry are approaching. I hear the sound of horse hooves."
They were resting in a room under the city gate tower when they felt the bed shaking.
Hearing the noise, he knew that a large number of cavalry were coming.
At this time, a large number of cavalry came from Wenkou City. Maybe there was some military intelligence from the northwest.
Prefect Wen turned pale, pursed his lips and looked at the guards at the city gate.
"General Zhong should be here. Follow me to the city gate to greet him and call everyone out."
In order to prevent these people from causing conflicts after Shen Yong entered the city, he should just take everyone out.
I guess seeing so many well-equipped golden armored soldiers, the city defenders became obedient.
"Yes!" The guard at the city gate responded without any doubt and immediately called all the guards at the city gate who were resting.
Everyone followed Magistrate Wen and marched out of the city gate to welcome the large army.
Prefect Wen pursed his lips, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and stared at the large army that was getting closer and closer on the official road.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the violent clatter of horse hooves gradually slowed down, and a fat and strong horse stopped in front of him.
"Master Wen, well done."
Shen Yong curled his lips into a smile and looked at Prefect Wen with admiration.
Prefect Wen twitched his lips awkwardly and looked up at the large army behind Chen Yong.
When he saw the familiar military advisor and General Liu Hu behind Shen Yong, he immediately understood.
It seems that the Shen family has really joined forces with the Zhong family.
Zhong Erfei should still be guarding the border town and assign all the important talents around him to Shen Yong.
"That...that medicine..."
Prefect Wen looked at Chen Yong and gave a dry laugh.
He has done everything he should do, so Shen Yong should give him the antidote, right?
Mr. Zhang, the lawyer, stood behind Prefect Wen with his neck shrunk, his face pale with fear at the imposing golden-armored soldiers.
The contrast was too stark. The defenders of Danyun City were like refugees in front of these golden-armored soldiers.
These golden-armored soldiers looked well-fed and didn't look like they had been starving for a long time.
And the sophisticated crossbows in the hands of the Golden Armored Army looked much lighter than any crossbows he had ever seen.
Chen Yong smiled faintly and looked towards Danyun City.
"Why rush? Let's talk about it when we get to the prefectural government office."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yong walked towards the city with his horse's belly between his legs.
Prefect Wen's face froze, he opened his mouth, looked at Chen Yong who was already walking towards the city, and closed his mouth helplessly.
He really didn't have the courage to stop Shen Yong right now.
"Sir..." Master Zhang rubbed his hands nervously, watching the mighty army rushing towards the city, his mind was blank.
"What should we do?"
“It seems that General Zhong has really joined forces with Shen Yong. I saw Military Advisor Jian.”
"......" Prefect Wen pursed his lips and sighed, "I saw it too..."
He was not blind, and Jian Guangqi was following Shen Yong, so it was hard for him not to see him.
It seems that Chen Yong must have given Zhong Erfei great benefits, which made Zhong Erfei willing to take the risk and follow Chen Yong in rebellion.
what to do......
What else could he do? The rebels had already entered the city, so he could only continue to support Shen Yong.
There is no chance for him to waver now. Either die or follow Chen Yong.
Following Chen Yong still offers a glimmer of hope. Who wants to die of starvation when they can live?
Prefect Wen took a deep breath, looked at the endless stream of troops, and frowned.
"Let's go to the prefectural government office first."
"......Hey!" Master Zhang nodded in astonishment, followed Magistrate Wen hand in hand, and walked into the city with a group of golden-armored soldiers.
When the city gate guards saw Chen Yong, their vision went dark and black.
