Taking advantage of the situation, the enemy troops sailed into the pass, and the 30,000 defending soldiers, unable to resist, had no choice but to surrender.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang felt a wave of dizziness.
Unexpectedly, the enemy used the waters of the East River to breach the city gates. Chu Sheng must have a general skilled in military strategy assisting him.
"Calm down, I must calm down. I haven't lost yet, yes, I haven't lost yet!"
"Although the Ziyuan Empire is unwilling to help me, it is still a twelve-way coalition. Don't worry, the situation will definitely develop in the direction I want."
Chu Yang kept reassuring himself that as long as the allied forces arrived, they might be able to turn the tide.
However, as the saying goes, when bad luck strikes, even drinking water can cause problems.
Just as Chu Yang had convinced himself, news of the allied forces' defeat arrived.
The twelve allied forces were blocked on their way to reinforcements and were unable to advance an inch.
"Waste, all of them are a bunch of waste!"
After reading the battle report, Chu Yang was so angry that he tore the paper to shreds.
Sure enough, he shouldn't have had any hope for these insects.
"Guards, order the Imperial Guards to assemble outside the city gates. I, the King, will personally lead the army to Gaoyang Pass to speak with my fourth brother!"
...
At this moment, outside Gaoyang Pass, Shen Zhao stood on the city wall, watching the gradually receding flood, silently savoring the ice cream he had made, or what is also called ice cream.
Chu Sheng, standing to the side, kept giving Shen Zhao a thumbs up: "Brother, I've never admired anyone in my life except you. Can you give me a rundown? Is there anything you can't do?"
Shen Zhao chuckled and tossed away the half-melted ice brand: "Brother, I'll help you take over the Xia Kingdom, so don't go back on your promise."
Chu Sheng patted his chest and said loudly, "Brother, rest assured, from now on, the Xia Kingdom will definitely follow Luoyang's lead!"
At this moment, Yu Xiyan's voice rang out behind him: "Fourth Prince, don't forget that you still owe my Great Yin 20 million spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng immediately gave an awkward smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely repay the money we owe your country in the future."
After saying that, he slunk down the steps.
As soon as he left, Yu Xiyan immediately put on a gentle expression and walked to Shen Zhao's side.
"Shen Zhao, you must be very tired right now, right? Would you like me to massage your shoulders? Or perhaps we can go back to your room and I can take good care of you and let you rest?"
"No need."
Shen Zhao's answer was very concise and to the point.
"Remember to bring Lin Feng to me after you find him. I have a few questions I'd like to ask."
Yu Xiyan was startled by his words and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you and he can talk about?"
"That's not something you should be thinking about. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
After saying that, Shen Zhao walked past Yu Xiyan, brushing past her shoulder.
Watching Shen Zhao's departing figure and hearing his words before he left, her jade-like hands clenched tightly.
"No, Lin Feng must die. He cannot live. If Shen Zhao knew that I was the one who killed my father and mother in my past life, he would never forgive me."
"But why would I kill my own father and mother? Why? Why is this happening?"
Yu Xiyan's eyes were sometimes dazed and sometimes manic, as if she had been possessed. Her mind was gradually becoming hazy, causing her body to start trembling.
The fortune teller, watching from afar, sighed and shook his head.
