1028 Keep your word. I am not stupid.

Without reinforcements, the military force of Yitai City is no match for the Black Cavalry. Are they just going to wait for death?

Xiao Yang and Xu Qing stared at each other. The guards around Tai Shao had tragic looks on their faces. Tai Shao also sat there in silence, as if in despair.

Mr. Zhuge looked at the state of Taicheng and sighed deeply, saying, "Master, things are not that bad yet. Master, you must not give up. We still have the biggest trump card in our hands."

"Ace? What ace?" Everyone, led by Tai Shao, looked at Mr. Zhuge in unison. The fiery eyes made Mr. Zhuge secretly feel overwhelmed.

Mr. Zhuge did not dare to keep the secret, and said bluntly: "Ahem, Master, you forgot that the Ninth Prince went to war just for Feng Qingchen, but now Feng Qingchen is in our hands. With Feng Qingchen in our hands, nothing will happen to us in Taicheng."

Hostages are the most useful at any time. As long as we are sure that the people outside are the Ninth Prince's soldiers and Feng Qingchen is pushed out, the other party will be deterred from making any move.

"Mr. Zhuge is right." Tai Shao's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up: "Quick, bring Feng Qingchen here."

After fighting for a whole day, they actually forgot that they still had such a big trump card in their hands. Of course, it was not because they were too forgetful, but because the Black Knights fought too fiercely.

As soon as the Black Cavalry arrived at Taicheng, they launched a fierce attack, which made the soldiers dizzy and disoriented. They did not even have enough time to defend or counterattack, so they had no time to think about anything else.

"Yes." The guards behind Tai Shao immediately became excited and ran out with Xu Qing. However, not long after they ran out, the group turned back.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh no, oh no, young master, oh no..." Xu Qing was panting, and several guards turned pale.

"What happened?" Tai Shao and Mr. Zhuge came out at the same time. Xu Qing held the doorpost to catch his breath and said hurriedly, "Master, the Ninth, the Ninth Uncle is coming with people to kill us. Those black-armored knights outside the door are like crazy, rushing in desperately. Our people, our people are almost unable to hold on."

"The Ninth Prince is bringing people here? So soon? Wasn't there news that the Ninth Prince led his troops to Xiaoqi Mountain?" Tai Shao was so anxious that he was sweating.

"I guess the Lu family must have made a heroic effort to save the Ninth Prince from his attack." Mr. Zhuge thought about it and understood. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master, don't worry, our reinforcements should be here soon."

Mr. Zhuge had explained it so clearly, how could Tai Shao still not understand? Tai Shao gnashed his teeth and said, "What a Lu family! They pushed us to the Ninth Prince and let him vent his anger. Do they really think that Tai Cheng is easy to bully?"

In fact, brother, you got the truth. Taicheng is indeed easy to bully.

Not only did the Lu family push Taicheng out to help the Ninth Prince put out his anger, they also planned to use Taicheng to destroy the Ninth Prince. When the Ninth Prince led his men into Taicheng, the people of the Lu family who were blocking Taicheng's reinforcements also received the news and retreated immediately, sending the reinforcements to Taicheng, preparing to block the Ninth Prince in Taicheng.

"Ninth brother, is the third brother good to you? If you die in Taicheng, don't blame the royal brother. Who made you so sentimental that you risked your life for a woman?" In the wooden house of the Lu family, the mysterious man was playing chess with himself. When a black piece fell, the game was decided...

But the chess game far away in Taicheng was decided by a man. After the Ninth Prince arrived in Taicheng, he came to the City Lord's Mansion without any obstacles. The Black Cavalry received the order from the Ninth Prince from afar and immediately took a step back to show a ceasefire.

A thousand men, except for a small number of injured and those defending against the enemy, stood in unison and marched towards the Ninth Emperor's uncle: "Greetings, Master."

This move undoubtedly told everyone that the Black Cavalry, who had been fighting for a day and a night and were still extremely brave, were indeed the Ninth Prince's men.

“Hmm.” The Ninth Prince responded in silence and dismounted. The Black Cavalry immediately stepped aside to make a way for the Ninth Prince. Two hundred personal guards followed closely behind the Ninth Prince, marching in a mighty and majestic manner. When the soldiers of Taicheng saw this scene, they all stayed where they were, not knowing whether to fight or not.

The Ninth Prince walked all the way to the City Lord's Mansion and stopped at the door. One of the eight generals behind him stepped forward and said to the soldiers of Taicheng: "Go, tell your City Lord that my master is here."

How arrogant, how presumptuous! Your master has come, but you still want my city lord to come and welcome him in person.

The soldiers of Taicheng were so angry that they wanted to kill people, but facing the murderous Black Cavalry and the Ninth Prince who was intimidating without even getting angry, the soldiers of Taicheng did not dare to resist at all. They obediently shouted to the people behind the door, but just after they shouted a word, they heard the sound of the door opening.

When a creaking sound was heard, the soldiers of Taicheng thought they had heard it wrong. They wiped the blood and dust off their faces and looked back, only to see their city lord coming out accompanied by Mr. Zhuge, Xu Qing and Xiao Yang. He was smiling and seemed to be blind to the tragic situation in front of him.

Tai Shao had already changed into clean clothes, and there was no trace of his previous embarrassment. He bowed to the Ninth Prince gracefully and said, "Ninth Prince, thank you for your visit. Tai Shao failed to welcome you in person. I hope you will forgive me."

"You are too polite, Lord Tai. I came here uninvited. Sorry to bother you." The Ninth Prince waved his hand and the Black Cavalry immediately took a step back. The speed surprised Tai Shao. After he reacted, he smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Ninth Prince, please."

The Ninth Prince's retreat meant that today's matter could still be discussed and he did not intend to kill all the people in Taicheng.

In fact, the Ninth Prince could massacre the City Lord's Mansion and Tai City if he wanted to, but he was not able to defeat them with just over a thousand people. The reinforcements from Tai City would soon arrive, and the Ninth Prince had no intention of confronting the hundreds of thousands of troops from Tai City.

There will be a chance to deal with Taicheng sooner or later, so there is no need to rush.

"I will not go to the City Lord's Mansion. City Lord Tai must know why I came here. I have already taken back the gold mine in Xiaoqi Mountain. City Lord Tai can go and take it back whenever he is free." The Ninth Prince was reminding Tai Shao that he came here today to fulfill the agreement with Tai Shao, to exchange the Xiaoqi Mountain gold mine for Feng Qingchen.

"Your Highness is indeed a man of his word." Tai Shao said this with a smile, but in his heart he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Dong Lingjiu, can you be any more shameless? You killed thousands of people in Taicheng, and you said you came here as agreed. How can you fulfill an agreement like this?

The Ninth Prince ignored Tai Shao's ugly face and said coldly: "I will keep my word. I have already offered the Xiaoqishan gold mine. Is City Lord Tai going to hand over the person?"

The Lu family wanted to see him and Tai Cheng fight to the point of both suffering losses so that they could reap the benefits. This was simply a dream!

No one in this world is dumber than anyone else. Dong Lingjiu is not stupid. The Black Cavalry has been unable to capture the city for a long time, and the reinforcements from Taicheng have not arrived yet. If he cannot see that there is a problem here, he has lived in vain for so many years.

Even if the Lu family hadn't done anything secretly, he wouldn't have taken the risk of using the Black Cavalry. He wasn't that arrogant to use a thousand men against the Taicheng army...

Reinforcements from Taicheng?

Humph, I hope you can arrive before I leave Taicheng!
