Chapter 807: Plotting People's Hearts
The soldiers were horrified and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"Someone's causing trouble at the west city gate. Both inside and outside are making noises. The city gate is about to be overwhelmed."
"ah?!"
"Go over there quickly!"
"Then over here—"
"We're here to relieve you. Hurry up and get over there. If the West City Gate is really taken down, you'll all be executed!"
The soldiers defending the city were of the same blood. If one city gate was lost, all the soldiers defending the city would be punished. So when they heard the news, they all picked up their weapons and rushed towards the west gate.
Nan Yan frowned.
Although it was still dark when she woke up in the small courtyard and looked outside, she could still vaguely recognize that these soldiers were the ones who had been guarding the courtyard before.
Obviously, they got it from somewhere, or maybe they just ambushed the soldiers in the city, stole their peeping armor, and then pretended to be soldiers from Crane City and tricked those people away.
I watched as the soldiers disappeared at the end of the long street.
Nan Yan looked at Ashige with a complicated expression.
He sneered and said, "You are very sensible and didn't make a fuss."
“…”
Nan Yan remained calm and didn't say anything.
She had just seen clearly that the number of those soldiers was small, and even if they made a big fuss, they probably couldn't compete with the people around Ashige.
On the contrary, it will bring disaster upon yourself.
Now, her life is related to the baby in her belly. At this time, she must be more careful.
She looked up at Ashiger and said, "However, if you rush out of the city now, the people inside will still suspect that something is wrong here."
Ashige said, "Do you really think that this king is a reckless man?"
“…”
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
She thought for a moment, then lifted a corner of the window curtain and looked out. She saw Ah Hei and several soldiers standing at the city gate. They were talking to each other, "Have they notified the city gate over there?"
"It seems not yet."
"Then hurry over and inform them to go to the west city gate to help."
"Yes, if something goes wrong, it won't work."
So, a group of people hurriedly ran towards the other side of the city gate.
All that remained was an unguarded city gate.
And a group of people were anxiously waiting for the city gate to open and to leave the city.
These people suddenly panicked and asked, "What's going on? Are they just going to leave us here like this? We have urgent business to attend to before we can leave the city!"
"That's right, what does the matter of the West City Gate have to do with this?"
People have always been like this. Only the things in front of them are important. Other things, no matter how urgent, have nothing to do with them.
It seems that these people are about to make some moves.
After a while, a few more people came over. Judging from their clothes, they were ordinary people.
As soon as he reached the city gate, he shouted loudly: "What's going on? Why is the city gate still open? All the other city gates are open."
"The people guarding the city won't let go."
"Where are the defenders? There's not a single one in sight. We need to leave the city urgently!"
"We have an urgent matter as well."
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Since they've all left, let's just open the city gate. Everyone has something to do anyway."
After this sentence was spoken, everyone fell silent.
Someone's face showed timidity: "This, is not possible?"
"What's wrong with that? They don't even guard the goal themselves."
"Besides, everyone has something to do."
…
After hearing this and that, everyone became even more impatient.
At this moment, a big man stepped forward and said, "Who cares? There's no one guarding the gate anyway. If we open the gate, no one will know who opened it."
Hearing what he said, the others came forward and, one by one, took down the heavy bolt on the city gate.
Suddenly, the tall city gate was slowly pushed open by them.
This time, even Nan Yan was a little surprised. She turned to look at Ashige.
Although this person has the temperament of a reckless man, he is not really a complete fool.
Make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and also try to win people's hearts.
It seems that this King of Beili did not rise to the top by himself.
But in this way, if they mixed in with the people and left the city, they would most likely not be noticed, and all attention would be drawn to the west gate. By then, Zhu Feng and the others wouldn't even be able to find their own traces!
Thinking of this, Nan Yan frowned.
As soon as he saw the city gate open, Awu, the driver, had already driven the carriage and quickly mixed in with the crowd, heading out of the city gate.
We were about to pass through the city gate.
Nan Yan suddenly stood up, lifted the curtain and stuck her head out of the window.
Ashige had been paying attention to her movements, fearing that she might cause an accident and ruin the situation. When he saw her sticking her head out of the window, he immediately stepped forward and pulled her back.
"ah!"
Nan Yan's hand was originally clinging to the window frame, but he pulled it and it hit the window frame hard.
She immediately grasped her wrist with her hand.
Ashige looked at her fiercely and said coldly, "I just told you to be sensible, but you don't know what's good for you."
“…”
"Huh, do you think anyone can save you now?"
“…”
Nan Yan covered her wrist tightly, gritted her teeth, and said nothing.
The carriage passed through the city gate smoothly.
Mixed in the crowd, they could soon only see the city wall of Hecheng from a distance behind them.
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and leaned back on the car floor.
Ashige said coldly: "I tell you, if you still want to live, then don't play tricks, otherwise, I will show no mercy to you."
Nan Yan remained calm and said nothing.

In order to avoid being caught up, they did not take the official road, but took a remote and almost no-travel path.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, their carriage finally stopped at an open space.
Nan Yan lifted a corner of the curtain and could only see a vast expanse of white around her.
Nothing.
When he opened his eyes and saw her climbing up the window to look out again, Ashige said coldly, "Are you trying to play tricks again? Do you want me to tie you up?"
Nan Yan said hurriedly: "There's not even a ghost around here, what tricks can I play?"
“…”
Ashig glanced outside.
Indeed, there was nothing on the white snow.
Ashige sneered, but Nan Yan, looking at the empty outside, said nervously, "Where are you taking me? Where are we going?"
Ashige said, "We have to wait for someone."
"Waiting for someone?"
“…”
As they were talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard from the road behind them, and a group of people were riding horses towards them.
