For three whole hours, from morning to afternoon, Cheng Huaijin fought. When Yun Na and Peng Mu arrived, he retreated back to the city wall.
Gu Yingxue ran over carrying the urn of ashes, and felt heartbroken when she saw Cheng Huaijin covered in blood.
Cheng Huaijin's eyes were only on the urn of ashes she was holding: "Ten days, sister, just ten days. You watch, I'll kill them all for you."
Prince Helian looked in surprise at the urn of ashes in Gu Yingxue's arms.
He didn't think Gu Yingxue was Cheng Huaijin's sister because Cheng Huaijin's gaze was fixed on the jar.
Could it be that Prince Ahai and Princess Xinxin have a younger sister who stayed in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
This is what Prince Helian was thinking.
"Prince Helian, what do you mean by this?" Inside the city, Yun Na glared angrily at Helian Yi.
"Close the door and beat the dog!" Helian Yi laughed arrogantly.
"You!" Yun Na couldn't believe that this person could turn on him so easily. He had even guessed the truth: Helian Yi had deliberately let them into the city!
"What? General Yunna wants his men to break through the city walls?" Helian Yi leaned back casually, looking down at Yunna below.
"Do you, Gorz, intend to align yourselves with the Great Zhou?" Yunna asked calmly.
"Do you want me, Gorz, to associate with a bunch of drowning dogs?" Helian Yi retorted.
"Good! Good! Good!" Yun Na said three times, then said, "All soldiers, listen to my command! Break through the city walls and kill!"
Helian Yi raised his sword high: "All soldiers of Gaozi, listen to my command! Kill any Yunhai army that approaches the city wall without mercy!"
"Slaughter the Yunhai army that approaches the city walls without mercy!"
"Slaughter the Yunhai army that approaches the city walls without mercy!"
"..."
Helian Yi's orders were relayed from left and right. At this moment, as soon as the Gaozi army sensed that Yunhai soldiers were approaching the city wall, the catapults and archers immediately began to move.
Yun Na turned around, called her men, located the city gate, and tried to break through it.
Unfortunately, Helian Yi's men were all Goz's most elite troops, and they held firm. They couldn't even get close to the city gate, let alone break through it.
As darkness fell, Yunna and Peng Mu returned to the area below where Cheng Huaijin was.
Peng Mu looked at Cheng Huaijin and stepped forward to ask, "Do you want to avenge Xiaoyu?"
Cheng Huaijin already knew Peng Mu's identity. At this moment, he stared at Peng Mu like a cheetah eyeing its prey, without answering his question.
Peng Mu said, "Xiao Yu's fate is not my fault; she betrayed me first. She was wholeheartedly devoted to serving the Great Zhou, but in the end, the Great Zhou did not send anyone to rescue her. This is her own fault. If you want to kill someone, shouldn't you kill someone from the Great Zhou first?"
Peng Mu spoke in the Great Zhou dialect, and spoke very fast. Apart from Gu Yingxue, Baiyi, and Cheng Huaijin, who were from Great Zhou, Gao Zi and Yun Hai could not understand him.
Gu Yingxue spat down at the city walls: "Peng Mu, you'll die a horrible death!"
Peng Mu pointed at Gu Yingxue: "Your sister didn't escape because of her, shouldn't you kill her? She took away your sister's chance to live. She should have gone to accompany General Yun, but your sister sacrificed herself to protect her. Are you planning to just watch her live the rest of her good life and let your sister die in unease?"
Gu Yingxue was hit where it hurt. Yes, Peng Mu was right. She was the one who harmed her sister, and her sister suffered in her place.
Cheng Huaijin took the bow from the archer beside him, snatched the arrow, nocked it, drew the bow, and shot it at Peng Mu's stomach.
The arrow was so fast that if Yun hadn't pulled Peng Mu back, he wouldn't have been able to dodge it at all.
