Xue Qianyu and Cheng Huaijin are in a slightly better situation. Xue Qianyu has a team under his command, which is the group of people who lived by the sea that Gu Xin took back.
Fortunately, there was fresh water flowing into the royal city from their direction. The water wasn't deep, so anyone who knew a little about swimming wouldn't have to worry about drowning.
Moreover, Xue Qianyu and Cheng Huaijin cooperated very well, and the two had trained together before, which makes sense.
As for Gorz's side, Peng Erlang, Helian Yi, and the eldest and second princes of Shalin also cooperated well. Peng Wulang's sacrifice was a thorn in Peng Erlang's side. He showed unprecedented bravery, which directly frightened Helian Yi and the eldest and second princes of Shalin.
Peng Erlang was the most refined and gentle among the Peng brothers, except for Peng Mu, who was not a member of the Peng family and therefore not included.
The gentlest person can unleash the most terrifying side; how could it not be frightening?
Peng Silang had also arrived here. Usually, Peng Silang was the wildest, and he was frightened when he saw his second brother like this.
The first to breach Yunhai Royal City were Gorz and Peng Erlang's forces.
Peng Erlang's soldiers of the Great Zhou were in a bloodthirsty frenzy. If one soldier couldn't kill one enemy soldier, then two would come at him; if two weren't enough, then three would kill him.
They breached the city gates on the morning of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin's forces successively breached the city gates.
They killed the soldiers of Yunhai at the city gate.
They fought their way to the Cloud Sea Palace.
The three generals met successfully.
"General Peng, Prince Helian, and the two Princes of Shalin, which of us four should go first?" The gates of the Yunhai Palace were tightly closed, and the oil lamps hanging at the entrance were still burning, but it was already daytime and there was no need for them.
“The royal city has four gates. In my opinion, we should enter from four different directions!” Helian Yi suggested.
“Alright then, Princess Xinxin, you and General Da Zhouze will enter through this gate. My brother and I will enter through the back gate with General Lang. Prince Helian and General Yang, Prince Ahai and General Xue,” said the eldest prince of Shalin.
In this way, everyone works in pairs.
No one objected, and then the troops were led around to other gates.
Gu Xin didn't take a detour and kicked open the front door directly.
"Brother Yuanyuan, Big Sister, Brother-in-law, have you noticed something's not right?" Looking at the empty Cloud Sea Palace, Gu Xin didn't go in. She walked to the door and asked.
“Yes, I just checked. Apart from Yun Haijun, the streets are deserted. Moreover, the streets are very clean, and the houses around don’t seem to be occupied, even though they have lights on,” Lu Zheng said.
“Yes, I also felt something was off. But since we’re already here, shouldn’t we go in and take a look?” Gu Hui nodded and said.
“Let’s go in then!” Gu Xin nodded.
They thought that a large number of people would attack them when they arrived at the palace, but instead, the doors were tightly closed and the palace was empty.
The group that followed Gu Xin in slowed their pace and became more vigilant.
"Wait!" Lu Zheng suddenly shouted.
Everyone stopped and looked around.
Lu Zheng crawled to the ground and pressed his ear against the floor.
"Not good!" Lu Zheng had barely finished speaking when arrows began to rain down.
At the same time, in addition to the entrance, a large number of people appeared from the other three directions. They were not Yun Haijun; they were just dressed as ordinary people and surrounded Gu Xin and her group one by one.
These are all people from Yunhai.
