The drowsy elite soldiers around were instantly frightened into alertness.
Everyone's eyes widened, and they pursed their lips as they looked at Dong Wenfeng nervously.
Here it comes, here it comes again.
Going crazy again.
Dong Wenfeng screamed and Qili smashed all the tables, chairs and benches in the room.
The raging anger in my heart finally subsided a little.
That night, all the noble families in Shiquan City who had good relations with Prefect Tong stayed up all night.
They packed up what they could take away from home, packed up the little water they had, and waited quietly for dawn to leave Shiquan City.
If Dong Wenfeng had not brought troops to Shiquan City, they could have left overnight.
Now they can only wait until daybreak, until Dong Wenfeng leads his troops to attack Pinghe City, and then they can take the opportunity to leave...
.......
"Please inform him that Jiang Xu wishes to see Prince Yongchang!"
Jiang Xu, the imperial guard, bowed to the guard at the door of Magistrate Li.
Oh my God, he had come here after traveling all the way, but General Xiao actually became king directly.
It was worth his hard work to come and report the news.
Fortunately, he did not give up on the way. He almost gave up and turned back to the capital several times.
Fortunately, he persisted.
The gatekeeper frowned and looked the man up and down.
The man in front of me was half-naked, with messy hair mixed with weeds and dust.
A face full of dirt and unshaven beard, it is impossible to tell what he looks like.
Only those pair of bloodshot eyes, bright and frightening, looked at him.
Even though the person in front of him looked so disheveled, his straight back showed that he was a person before.
"Hold on!"
The guard at the gate said something, turned around and walked inside.
"Hey, okay, thank you for your help!"
Jiang Xu pursed his cracked lips and stretched his neck to look at the back of the gate guard.
It was just getting light in the sky. He had just followed a group of refugees into Pinghe City last night.
When approaching the gate of Pinghe City, the official road suddenly became muddy.
There was actually water on the road.
The refugees were so excited that they all lay down and started drinking.
He also drank a lot of water.
He was so thirsty on the way that the horse he was riding had already died of thirst and was killed and eaten by him.
Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
Every city is suffering from drought, and people are dying due to lack of water.
I couldn't even swallow the dry food in my hand. It was such a sin.
After a while, the gate guard came out hurriedly.
"Master Jiang, Prince Yongchang invites you!"
"Okay, okay, thank you!"
Jiang Xu nodded and followed the gate guard, walking towards the front hall excitedly.
In just over two months, he couldn't have imagined that General Xiao had an army of 300,000 men under his command.
The drought was already so severe that it was hard to survive, let alone support an army of 300,000.
But wherever Xiao Yunzhan attacked, rain would fall from the sky to alleviate the drought.
He had heard the rumor on the way, and he was still wondering who this King Yongchang who commanded the Heavenly God Army was.
He even doubted the credibility of the rumor and thought it was just the Heavenly God Army trying to build momentum.
Who knew that when we were almost at the border of Pinghe City, there was actually water on the road.
When he arrived in Pinghe City, he asked around.
He was shocked to discover that King Yongchang was actually Xiao Yunzhan.
Just when Jiang Xu was filled with excitement, the guard had already brought him to the front hall.
"Jiang Xu greets Prince Yongchang!"
Jiang Xu fell to his knees with a plop.
"Jiang Xu!" Xiao Yunzhan looked at Jiang Xu who was kneeling in the main hall, and turned his head to glance at Lin Yiran.
They were waiting for the soldiers to finish breakfast and then set out to attack Shiquan City.
While I was waiting, I unexpectedly heard the name "Jiang Xu".
To be honest, he didn't realize who Jiang Xu was at first.
"yes!"
Jiang Xu didn't expect that Prince Yongchang still remembered a small figure like him, and nodded excitedly.
At that time, more than a dozen of them were forced by Xiao Yunzhan to take poison. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to endure it.
Now he is truly willing to surrender to Prince Yongchang.
King Yongchang not only had the miracles of heaven following him all the way, but also had an army of 300,000 and the support of the people.
It is far from comparable to the mob gathered by Zhao Cheng.
Lin Yiran glanced at the disheveled Jiang Xu and then looked at Xiao Yunzhan.
This person was the one who was forced to take poison and act as a spy for them. Why did he suddenly come to their door at this time?
Xiao Yunzhan understood Lin Yiran's expression and turned to look at Jiang Xu.
"What does Guard Jiang want from me?"
"The prince originally told us to monitor the movements in the capital and report to Brahma City if anything happened."
Jiang Xu looked up at Xiao Yunzhan.
"But not long after the prince left, Zhao Cheng took us to the south."
"They said they were going to arrest the Xiao family, but after arriving in the south, Zhao Cheng seized and looted several government offices, gathered refugees with his brothers, and started a rebellion!"
"Zhao Cheng rebelled!?" Xiao Yunzhan's pupils trembled in shock.
Zhao Cheng is the leader of the imperial guards, how could he suddenly rebel?
Lin Yiran was also shocked. There were quite a few ambitious people in the Daliang Kingdom.
However, Zhao Cheng's rebellion in the south helped them disperse a lot of Emperor Wu of Liang's troops.
It's a good thing for them.
