Chapter 265 Lure the snake out of its hole



"There's really no need to take all four city walls. If I storm, I'll suffer heavy losses. But I don't have many cavalry right now. I wonder if the governor has any way to open the city gates?"

The authorization document for building the city has been obtained, but he will never take the risk if it means that his cavalry will suffer heavy losses.

At this time, Governor Cheng had no worries at all and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about that. I will open the city gates. Then, General, all you have to do is have the soldiers guard the gates. I will also replace the guards at the City Lord's Mansion with the General's men."

"Good! I wonder when the governor is going to take action?"

Feng Yun thought the other party would need a few days to prepare, but Cheng Taishou said:

"We should do this as soon as possible. How about tonight? After I open the city gate, I'll use the smashing of the cup as a signal."

"Okay, I'll take my leave then. See you tonight."

As long as Fengyun is not allowed to attack the city by force, he will definitely come.

Moreover, the prefect trusted him so much that he even handed over the guarding of the city lord's mansion to him.

This means you are entrusting your life and property to yourself.

Fengyun will never let him down, even though they have only known each other for one day.

This also indirectly confirms that the other party’s current situation is already very difficult, even desperate.

Facing these aristocratic families, the prefect Cheng couldn't handle it, but that didn't mean Feng Yun couldn't handle it.

Fengyun just doesn’t dare to attack the imperial city openly now.

As for these aristocratic families, he could destroy them at will.

Anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve done this.

"Brother Yun, wait for me. I want to go with you too."

"Why don't you stay and protect Governor Cheng? If the news gets leaked, you can protect him."

Fengyun wanted Ma Chao to stay, but Ma Chao was a little itchy.

Although he was young, he was not stupid at all. When he heard Feng Yun say that, he suppressed his reluctance.

"Well, then I will protect the governor."

When Governor Cheng saw the handsome young man beside him, whose face was as white as powder, lips as red as rouge, waist as thin as a slender waist, arms as broad as a slender waist, voice as strong as a sturdy man, face as beautiful as jade, eyes as bright as shooting stars, he could not help but say:

"What a handsome young man. I wonder who he is?"

Gold will always shine brightly. Fengyun said with a smile:

"This is Ma Chao, son of Ma Teng. Don't underestimate his youth, but he's a man of unrivalled courage."

How could Governor Cheng not know about Ma Teng?

He made quite a splash when he eliminated Beigong Boyu.

"So it's his son, no wonder. Well then, I'll have to trouble you, young man."

Ma Chao clasped his fists and saluted.

So Fengyun went back alone to gather his subordinates. Since he was going to Dunhuang anyway, he might as well bring them all with him.

By the time Fengyun rushed back to Juyanze, his Mo Qilin didn't take much time.

At this time, Lan Yu and Zhang Yan had already assembled the team.

"Brothers, I will take you to Juyan City first to help the governor. Then we will go to Dunhuang and start our battle."

Fengyun waved his hand and the army set off.

It was getting dark.

Inside Juyan City, Ma Chao was following Prefect Cheng toward the palace gate when a group of soldiers emerged from the side of the gate, and the captain immediately blocked their way.

"Master, please stay. Our four family heads have said that you should not go out unless you have something important to do."

"How dare you! Do I need to ask for your permission to go somewhere?"

Governor Cheng may be weak at ordinary times, but today he must be tough.

Unfortunately, the other party did not take the governor's toughness seriously at all, and still looked disdainful, saying:

"Excuse me, Lord Governor. Please don't embarrass us."

When Ma Chao saw this, his temper immediately flared up.

"What are you doing? Even the prefect is trying to stop you. Aren't you afraid of having your property confiscated and your clan exterminated?"

"Hey, where did this wild boy come from? I haven't seen you before. How dare you make such a fuss in front of our four major families? Brothers, kill him."

Arrogant!

Killing people for a disagreement shows how the four major families can do whatever they want in the city.

He actually dared to kill his people in front of the prefect.

"kill..."

As soon as the captain shouted "Kill", a spear pierced his throat.

"die!"

As soon as the word "death" came out of his mouth, the man fell to the ground and didn't move.

At this moment, the others drew their swords and attacked Ma Chao.

"Dragon Flash!"

“Whoosh! Explode!”

The spear spun around and flew through the air, and the soldiers surrounding him fell to the ground at the same time with blood splattering from their throats.

"A bunch of minions, overestimating their capabilities. Let's go!"

When he saw someone being killed, Governor Cheng knew that there was no way to stop this.

Nodding, he said, "Okay, let's go."

The two men rode their horses quickly. Perhaps the other party did not know that the soldier left behind to monitor the prefect was dead, and no one came to stop them on the road.

When the two arrived at the agreed east gate, they looked at the moon in the sky.

"It's almost time."

Prefect Cheng quickened his pace and rushed to the city gate.

To facilitate players' entry and exit, the city gate was not closed.

When the guards saw someone trying to storm the city gate, they immediately drew their spears and shouted:

"Who is it? Stop right there!"

Ma Chao wanted to rush out directly, but was stopped by Governor Cheng.

"Don't be reckless, leave it to me."

I saw Cheng Taishou ran up to him and said:

"Are you blind? It's me! I'm going to inspect our Acropolis. Get out of my way."

When the guards saw that it was Governor Cheng, they would never let go.

"Sir Governor, if you go to his city, please make a teleportation array. We will send someone to protect you."

Cheng Taishou directly refused:

"No, I have someone to protect me, and I won't build a teleportation array. I still need to inspect the situation outside the city."

The guards still did not let go and said:

"Sir, it's dark now. It's dangerous outside. It's not advisable to go out."

"I'm leaving right now. If you're worried, send someone to follow me. No more waiting!"

He waved his hand and said, "Brother Ma Chao, thank you for your hard work."

Ma Chao understood what he meant and pushed the defenders blocking the way aside.

Taking advantage of this gap, the two men rode their horses and rushed out quickly.

The guard behind him finally got up and shouted:

"Hurry up and tell the centurion to lead the troops to stop them."

Prefect Cheng had already calculated that the two men did not just run away, but looked back from time to time.

Seeing that the pursuers were not coming out for a long time, the two stopped and waited for a while.

They didn't continue running until they saw a large number of cavalry rushing out.

"Sir, the place we agreed to meet with Brother Yun is in the dense forest ahead, right?"

"Yes, it's just ahead. Let's run over there."

Seeing the enemy soldiers getting closer, they quickened their pace and headed towards the dense forest.

"Master, wait a moment."

"Master Governor, we are here to protect you."
