Big Moon King City.
With the help of the Eighteen Ghost Riders, Shen Luoyan and Feng Yu easily captured the Dayue Royal City.
In fact, the Eighteen Ghost Riders did not do much. They just seized the city gate while the rioters in the royal city were frantically fleeing the city, allowing their army to quickly break into the royal city.
After killing hundreds of stubborn defenders, they completely took control of the royal city.
It was not until this moment that they realized that the entire Dayue King City’s garrison consisted of less than two thousand men.
Moreover, these people were temporarily recruited by a loyal minister of the Dayue Kingdom who did not want to escape.
The actual defenders of the royal city actually numbered less than 300 people!
The previous defenders had already left with Lou Yi and the royal family members.
Originally, that loyal minister wanted to lead the people of the royal city to defend the royal city until the last moment.
But the situation of Dayue Kingdom was hopeless. The King of Dayue and the royal family had almost all fled. The people in the city had completely lost the will to resist and only wanted to escape from the royal city.
...
...
In order to escape from the royal city, he even risked his life with the temporarily recruited garrison.
In the end, the loyal minister had to order his men to open the city gates and let the people escape.
In this way, the Eighteen Ghost Riders have the opportunity to capture the gate of the royal city in one fell swoop.
However, at the moment the city was broken, the loyal minister ordered his men to set the royal city on fire and took the initiative to throw himself into the flames.
Although Chen Luoyan and his men put out the fire in time, about 30% of the palace was burned down, and the loyal minister was burned to ashes.
Chen Luoyan and the others were a little disappointed that they failed to obtain the complete palace.
However, as long as we capture the Dayue Royal City, it will be something worth celebrating.
With the fall of Dayue Royal City, the Dayue Kingdom can basically be declared completely destroyed.
After occupying the royal city, Shen Luoyan and Feng Yu did not allow their troops to plunder. Instead, they sent people to post notices in the city to reassure the people with those officials of Dayue Kingdom who did not have time to escape.
After a day of turmoil, the riots in Dayue Royal City finally subsided.
However, the small disturbances in the royal city will definitely not stop in the short term.
“Knock, knock…”
After finishing the work at hand, Shen Luoyan was just about to take a rest when there was a hurried knock on the door.
"Your Highness, urgent news from the north!"
An emergency message from the North?
Hearing the sound outside the door, Shen Luoyan was suddenly startled, rushed to the door immediately and quickly opened it.
At the door, in addition to her personal guards, there was also Yun Zheng's personal guard commander Li Cheng.
The moment he saw Li Cheng, Shen Luoyan suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"I am here to see the princess!"
Li Cheng looked gloomy, and the sadness on his face was hard to conceal. He bowed and said, "Madam Miaoyin ordered me to personally hand this letter to the princess..."
Shen Luoyan's heart skipped a beat and she quickly took the letter that Li Cheng was handing over to her and opened it.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Shen Luoyan was struck by lightning and almost fainted.
After trying hard to calm down, Shen Luoyan turned around abruptly, suppressed the urge to cry, and growled: "Everyone... retreat!"
The guard looked at Shen Luoyan in confusion, then looked at the distraught Li Cheng, and then pulled Li Cheng away.
As the two left, Shen Luoyan could no longer stop the tears in her eyes.
Even though Miaoyin had told her in the letter that they had sent people down the cliff to look for him and asked her not to worry, her heart still felt as if it was being pierced by thousands of needles.
Finally, Shen Luoyan couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground.
Shen Luoyan's tears wet the letter paper, but she suppressed the urge to burst into tears.
At this moment, every detail of her time with Yun Zheng kept flashing through her mind.
She couldn't accept this fact.
On the northern front, it should have been easy to defeat the enemy!
How could it turn out like this?
After a long time, Shen Luoyan finally recovered with difficulty.
Northern barbarians!
Damn the northern barbarians!
Endless grief and indignation filled Shen Luoyan's chest, making her wish she could immediately lead her army to kill the northern barbarians and wipe out those damn beasts!
However, she finally resisted the urge.
She is no longer the impulsive and willful Shen Luoyan.
She is now the Princess of Jingbei!
It is unknown whether Yun Zheng is alive or dead, so she must shoulder the responsibilities that she should bear!
Shen Luoyan clenched her fists tightly, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and struggled to get up from the ground.
After trying hard to adjust his mood, Shen Luoyan turned his back to the door and shouted, "Someone come!"
Hearing Shen Luoyan's loud shout, the guards who had retreated to the gate of the courtyard immediately ran forward, "What do you want, Princess?"
Shen Luoyan's voice trembled slightly: "Order Feng Yu, Zuo Ren, and Gao He to come and discuss the matter immediately! Also, send someone to take Li Cheng and the others to rest, and tell them to mind their mouths!"
"yes!"
The guards ran away immediately.
Soon, Feng Yu and two others hurried over after receiving the order.
Although Feng Yu is the commander-in-chief, Shen Luoyan is the princess after all.
Shen Luoyan called them to discuss matters, and they did not dare to neglect it.
"Stand on guard twenty steps away! Anyone who dares to get close will be killed immediately!"
Shen Luoyan gave instructions to her personal guards, and then handed the tear-soaked letter to Feng Yu and the other two to circulate, while she said in a low voice: "Just read it yourself, and don't make any noise!"
The three of them nodded quickly.
After seeing the contents of the letter, the three of them felt as if the sky above their heads had collapsed.
The three iron-blooded men who had never shed a tear despite suffering and being injured, now had tears in their eyes and were trembling all over.
"temple……"
Zuo Ren wailed, and just as he said one word, he remembered Shen Luoyan's instructions and quickly covered his mouth tightly.
"I didn't ask you to come here to mourn in front of me!"
Shen Luoyan held back her tears and said sternly: "Now, His Highness's whereabouts are unknown, we must stabilize the situation! Also, we must block the news of His Highness's accident to avoid affecting the morale of the army!"
The three of them buried their heads, wiped away their tears, and nodded with difficulty.
"Zuo Ren, from tomorrow on, you will lead the army to stay in the royal city and stabilize the situation in the royal city!"
"yes!"
Zuo Ren accepted the order with a trembling voice.
Shen Luoyan: "Feng Yu, Gao He!"
"I will be here!"
The two answered in unison.
Shen Luoyan: "Follow me and lead the army to Sawtooth Ridge to join Huo Gu's troops. Beware of the tribes in the western desert taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack!"
The Sawtooth Ridge area southeast of Dayue borders the various tribes in the western desert.
It is also the only corridor between the tribes of Moxi and Dayue.
Although Huo Gu had already led his troops to guard there, Chen Luoyan was still worried.
Feng Yu was slightly stunned, and asked with red eyes: "Won't the princess go to the northern line?"
"Miaoyin is over there, it's useless for me to go there!"
Chen Luoyan shook his head gently, "Now that His Highness and the others are missing, we must ensure that the Moxi tribes will not come to attack us, so that Miaoyin and the others will have the energy to find the whereabouts of His Highness and Jiayao."
There are enough people over there already.
What's the point of her running over again?
Now, she could only try her best to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The stability on their side is the greatest help to the northern front!
"yes!"
Understanding Shen Luoyan's intention, Feng Yu and Gao He immediately followed orders.
Shen Luoyan took a deep breath, holding back the tears in her eyes, and solemnly reminded again: “Remember, the news of His Highness’ accident must not be spread out!”
