Fortunately, Madam Lin didn't seem to be a weak young lady. The moment she was thrown against the wall, she managed to flip over.
Hu Laosan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would also be able to climb over the wall directly from now on.
Tonight's battle was just an appetizer; when the loud noise rang out, everyone was already alerted.
Meanwhile, a fierce battle broke out at the city gate. It was indeed difficult for three hundred brothers to take over a city gate, not to mention that they had not received any training at all.
The reason they were able to take action so decisively at that moment was because of their sense of loyalty.
Hu Laosan pulled Madam Lin along, running frantically through the streets without daring to delay for even a moment. Even though Madam Lin was a woman, she didn't complain at all and just silently tried her best to keep up.
Meanwhile, something else happened at Ningye's place. Even though it should have been the quietest time for the other side at night, there were flames shooting up from under the city walls tonight.
Looking at the dense crowd below, Ning Ye knew that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, but why hadn't Yan Luo sent any news?
Could these reinforcements possibly just appear out of thin air?
Looking at the neat and orderly formation below, Ning Ye estimated that the enemy had mobilized at least 20,000 people.
Zhang Zihe said with some concern, "Since the other side is still resolutely choosing to come out at this time, there might be an ambush."
"It doesn't matter. As long as they dare to attack the city, there's no other good way for us but to fight back."
Ning Ye smiled and said, "Brother Ping An speaks with such confidence; it seems you do have some self-assurance."
Li Pingan said nonchalantly, "Anyway, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed. It's unavoidable, so what's there to be afraid of? Life is what it is, how much worse can it get?"
Just then, someone from the other side suddenly came to the city gates, saying, "May I ask which one of you is Young Master Ning? Our Crown Prince wishes to invite you for a chat."
Ning Ye said with some surprise, "With the army at hand, does Your Highness still have such refined tastes? That really surprises me."
“Our Crown Prince said that as long as you are willing to go, nothing will happen today. Otherwise, a large army will be pressing in at any moment, and you will not have any chance.”
Ning Ye said without fear, "If I don't go when His Highness the Crown Prince personally invites me, wouldn't that be disrespectful? Come, come, wait for me here, I'll be right down."
After saying that, Ning Ye actually walked down the city wall. Zhang Zihe hurriedly followed, "Young Master Ning, you must not go! If the other side uses trickery to leave you there, we will be leaderless."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I'm not a brainless person. Since I dared to go, I naturally have a way to come back. If the other party really has no sense of morality, then I will give them a good beating."
After saying that, Ning Ye mounted his horse and rode out of the city without anyone daring to stop him.
Right in front of this military formation, the Crown Prince was able to set up a banquet, but tonight's banquet was not for anyone else, but only for Ning Ye.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince again, Ning Ye strode over with his head held high, his eyes showing no reverence but rather a hint of provocation.
Chu Junbao's hands clenched involuntarily; he had never seen anyone dare to act like this with him before.
However, he also knew very well that although he could take down this bone by force, the price he would have to pay was too high. Moreover, it would be bad if anything happened to those things because of Ning Ye.
"You must be Ning Ye. Do you know why I invited you here today?"
Ning Ye shook his head and said, "I can probably guess, but I think His Highness's idea might be wishful thinking."
A cold smile appeared on Chu Junbao's face. "I can see that you are very confident, but sometimes your confidence may just be your own delusion, and you are not as capable as you think."
Ning Ye found a seat and sat down, even taking a couple of bites of the delicious food.
This attitude of not taking the Crown Prince seriously is almost obvious, but the Crown Prince really doesn't want to completely fall out with Ning Ye right now.
“I know very well that there is nothing to talk about between you and me. If there is anything to talk about, it should not be now, but the day when His Highness truly loses.”
Chu Junbao picked up his wine glass and took a sip. "If you submit to me, I can overlook what you did before. But if you remain obstinate, you are courting death. Is that really a good idea?"
"Your Highness is the one who's really overconfident. How can you be so sure that you can win me over?"
“You’re a smart man, don’t pretend to be stupid. With the few men you have, I could crush them with ease right now. And don’t test my patience. I’ve given you enough patience.”
Ning Ye said nonchalantly, "Your Highness, I am quite curious. Even if I agree to your request, what can you give me? I don't think I lack anything."
Chu Junbao said arrogantly, "Oh, really? But I think you lack something, and it's something very important. If you don't agree to my request, then your life is no longer your concern. Do you think this matter is important or not?"
"Hand over everything you own, only then can I save your life. And working under me, you will one day become a loyal subject of the emperor, which is better than being stuck in such a small place."
Ning Ye listened silently to the prince's long speech, then stood up and said, "Your Highness, I am not one to speak in an unpleasant way. If you are not satisfied, you can take my head when the city falls."
Chu Junbao's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Since you know you can't speak, I advise you not to say anything."
"Sigh, isn't it a coincidence? I just love to say things even when people tell me not to. Your Highness, in my eyes you are no different from anyone else in the world. If you want it, then come and take it yourself."
Seeing that Ning Ye remained unmoved, the young prince finally couldn't keep up the pretense any longer. With a wave of his hand, three hundred armored soldiers immediately surrounded him.
