The personal soldier was almost fainting from the pain, but he still had to hold on for a breath to answer Ji Guangda's questions.
He wanted to faint, but there were so many crossbows pointing at them.
He was afraid that if he fainted, he would never wake up again.
"The Emperor knew that Chen Yong had occupied Miehuo City, so he specially sent General Fan to lead his troops to Miehuo City to capture the traitor Chen Yong."
"Ha!" Ji Guangda couldn't help laughing when he heard the emperor Tianwu's arrogant words.
"He's not worthy of it!"
"How did Emperor Tianwu know?"
It was obvious that Emperor Tianwu's news was very delayed. King Qianhuang was about to attack the capital, but Emperor Tianwu still thought that King Qianhuang was in Huohuo City.
This means that the person who spread the news went to the capital before their army set out.
The guard bit his lip and lowered his eyelids. "It is said that... he is... the personal guard beside the imperial envoy."
"Is it him!?" Ji Guangda frowned in confusion.
Aren't those people all locked up in cells?
It seems that the people around the imperial envoy are quite capable and were able to leave Qianhuang City without anyone noticing.
Ji Guangda sneered.
No wonder Emperor Tianwu only sent 50,000 soldiers to Qianhuang City.
The people around the imperial envoy know nothing about Qianhuang City.
The news they sent back was probably just superficial stuff like the construction of houses and city walls.
Therefore, it makes sense that Emperor Tianwu sent out 50,000 people.
Now, a lobbyist has been arranged to persuade Zhong Erfei.
After all, in the eyes of Emperor Tianwu, Zhong Erfei had no reason to betray, and Zhong Erfei still had more than 200,000 Northwest Army troops under his command.
Catching Chen Yong was completely effortless.
The reason for sending 50,000 soldiers was just to scare Zhong Erfei.
It’s a pity that Zhong Erfei has long passed away, and the Northwest Army has been incorporated into the Golden Armor Army.
"You four, bring them before the prince."
"Everyone else, follow me and capture General Zhong!"
After Ji Guangda arranged for his men to drag away the two half-dead personal soldiers, he rushed non-stop towards the place where General Zhong was resting.
We said we were here to capture General Zhong, so we can't just take two of his personal soldiers back.
Besides, General Zhong was some distance away from Fan Jinchang's army. As long as they moved quietly, Fan Jinchang might not notice them.
By the time Fan Jinchang finished his rest and set off, King Qianhuang's army had almost reached the small hill where General Zhong was resting.
The soldiers who were drinking hot porridge over there felt a pang in their hearts and looked at each other.
"There seemed to be screams!?"
"Screams?" General Zhong put down his bowl, squinted his eyes and looked around.
"Sure?"
Could it be that the caravan members refused to give the things and his personal soldiers robbed them?
The guards frowned and listened carefully, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
"I couldn't quite hear it, it was vague, and now it seems to be gone."
"Ha!" General Zhong sneered and took a sip of porridge. "These money-grubbing merchants just don't know what's good for them."
"It would be a good lesson for them to learn from this. Next time they see a government official, they should consciously hand over their things to him."
He didn't care at all about his own soldiers harming innocent people.
How could one of his own people do anything wrong? He was just following his orders.
The guards looked at each other and laughed.
"Indeed, merchants are concerned about their own interests. Without the general, they would never have a peaceful life."
"Respecting the master is something that should be desired..."
"I heard from the Imperial Envoy's guards that the people of Fire Extinguishing City have good food. When we get there, we'll give them a good treat."
"Fire Extinguishing City is close to the Fire Phoenix Nation, and there are many merchants there. When there's no war, life is pretty good..."
“…”
General Zhong listened to the discussion of his personal soldiers and sneered.
"How can such a scoundrel deserve to eat such good food? What a waste of food..."
"What kind of ability does that idiot Chen Yong have? He spent so much food to coax the people to call him "Prince" and acted like he was the Prince."
"When the army reaches Fire Extinguishing City, the first to turn against us will be those unruly people. Then Shen Yong will cry..."
Although he couldn't figure out where Chen Yong got so much food to feed so many people in Miehuo City.
But he knew that what Shen Yong did was completely useless, a waste of food, and a child's trick of playing house.
When faced with real strength, these unruly people are useless.
The guards burst into laughter.
"Of course, with so much food, why not raise some soldiers? They can be used in times of crisis..."
"That's unacceptable. That idiot Chen Yong doesn't have the brains to do that."
"Hey, where do you think all this food comes from?"
"...Who knows? The drought in the northwest is quite severe. Whoever has food is the boss."
“…”
Ji Guangda happened to hear these words when he and his men were sneaking out of the ditch.
"You're not capable of anything."
Ji Guangda sneered, slowly poked his head out of the ditch, raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed at the personal soldiers.
"Ready, fire!"
Ji Guangda raised his hand and waved it, and dozens of crossbow arrows shot out into the air.
The overwhelming whistling sound frightened the soldiers who were chatting and laughing on the hill so much that their faces froze and their smiles froze.
"Oh no, someone's attacking!"
"Protect General Zhong!"
With a "clang" sound, the bodyguards drew their swords and frantically tried to block the crossbow arrows flying in the sky.
The "clang clang" sounds rang out one after another.
The swords in the hands of the personal guards were swung into afterimages, and they tried their best to block the crossbow arrows.
General Zhong was surrounded by his personal guards. He squatted on the ground and didn't dare to stand up. His face was pale.
"Fan Jinchang!! How dare you attack me!!"
General Zhong roared angrily, his chest heaving with anger.
There was no one else on the official road. The only ones who could use crossbows were the crossbow team of several hundred people under Fan Jinchang.
Damn it, they actually sent out a crossbow team to get rid of him.
Looking at the crossbow arrows flying in the sky without stopping, Fan Jinchang seemed to want him to die.
General Zhong was so angry that he was shaking all over, but there was nothing he could do.
"ah!!"
A painful scream was heard, and a personal soldier fell to the ground with a thud, curled up and howled in pain.
Seeing the empty space, General Zhong's pupils trembled, and he quickly moved to the side, hiding behind his personal guards, and shouted at the top of his voice,
"stop!!"
"Tell Fan Jinchang not to push too far, everything can be discussed!!"
"Leave a way out for yourself, so that we can meet again in the future."
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Fan Jinchang dared to attack me. If the emperor knew, he would definitely not forgive him..."
General Zhong looked at his personal soldiers falling one after another, sweating profusely and howling in a hoarse voice.
