Yang Gu burst into tears and fell to the ground: "Third Prince, none of us want to betray our country, but we have no choice!"
"I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Hou Du should still be in the mansion now! Go and capture him and bring him to me. I'll be waiting for you at the City Lord's Mansion." Mulansheng was too lazy to do it himself. The most important thing was that his people had traveled a lot of distance, so they should save as much money as possible.
Yang Gu and others knew that Mu Lansheng was now a prisoner, and it was impossible for them to kill him again.
If you want to survive, there is only one choice.
"The antidote in Hou Du's hand may not be effective. The antidote was developed by my genius doctor and has just quelled the plague in Yancheng. If you want your family to live, you shouldn't let them live and watch you bear the infamy for the rest of your life. I believe you all have a choice in your hearts: to bring honor to your family or to become a traitor." Mulansheng said lightly.
I heard that the antidote was actually developed by Mulansheng's team and the one in Hou Du's hand might be a pirated version.
Yang Gu's heart calmed down instantly.
Including other soldiers, although they are Hou Du's men, everything is just for survival and achievement.
The Third Prince's words were very straightforward; they still had a chance to turn things around.
Unexpectedly, Hou Du had already received the news. He paced anxiously in his mansion. When he saw his confidant returning, he hurriedly asked, "How is it? Has there been any reply?"
"General! The prince said everything has been arranged." The confidant replied.
Hou Du finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This Mulansheng is indeed difficult to deal with. Fortunately... we still have the Crown Prince to help us."
So, just as Yang Gu stood up to report...
“Puff!”
A long sword pierced his chest directly.
Mulansheng's expression changed instantly, and he looked back with a sharp gaze.
Unexpectedly, the city gate in the distance had been opened, and a group of black cavalry were slowly approaching their team.
The horses' hooves were covered in foreign objects, making them silent as they moved. The horses were clad in black iron masks, and the knights on their backs wore black helmets and were completely covered in impenetrable black armor. Each one held a shield and a spear, fully armed.
At the front of the team, a young man wearing a brown wolf-fur coat was riding a strange beast and slowly coming towards everyone.
The strange beast under him was like a wolf and a mastiff, huge and ferocious.
"Hahahahahahaha... Mulansheng, I've heard that the Third Prince is unparalleled in bravery, but I didn't expect... that we would meet him in this way." The man had wheat-colored skin, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that revealed a bit of perverseness and unruliness, with a fierce wolf light hidden in them.
"Flying Cavalry?"
Mulansheng didn't expect Hou Du to be so bold as to let the Western Liang Kingdom's Flying Cavalry into Yicheng.
Has he ever thought that even if Yicheng is lost, Xiliang may not keep its promise?
"Alas, it's all because of Hou Du's incompetence. Qingyan originally just wanted to invite the Third Prince to visit the Xiliang military camp. I didn't expect that he couldn't invite you, the Third Prince, and that I, the prince, had to go in person. Otherwise, I would rather drink and chat with the Third Prince in my Xiliang camp." Qingyan's slow and leisurely voice sounded very polite, but the strange beast under him showed its ferocious fangs and roared.
"Emperor Qing, don't be rude..." Zhu Qingyan called out hypocritically to the strange beast under him.
Mulansheng sneered, "The Crown Prince of Xiliang is quite elegant, leading his army to the border of Tiansheng, treating them with weapons and the courtesy of a guest. Does Xiliang lack etiquette? They don't even know what a request is, or what the distinction between national boundaries is? Even before going into battle, they insist on beating drums to declare war. Such youthful behavior is typical of Xiliang."
Across from him, Su Qingyan's narrow, peach-shaped eyes revealed a hint of bloodthirstiness. "Your Highness is mistaken. My Flying Cavalry entered Yicheng at the invitation of your General Hou. If it weren't for his incompetence, this Crown Prince wouldn't have needed to do it himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flying cavalrymen behind him all lowered their spears and showed an attacking posture.
Qin Xuan, Ye Feng and others also mounted their horses and changed their positions. The Eagle Guards were all on alert and confronted each other, and the secret guards all had serious expressions on their faces.
Not to mention Lao Zhao and others, they were volunteers and had never fought in battle and killed the enemy.
Who knew that as soon as they arrived, they would face the strongest army in Xiliang.
The Flying Cavalry, it is said to be so terrifying.
"Your Highness, if you beg me for mercy, I will consider sparing this group of rabble. It shouldn't be a loss to trade you for a group of people." Su Qingyan said jokingly.
Qin Xuan finally couldn't help but speak out, "Shut up your crow's mouth! You Xiliang people are nothing but a bunch of unpresentable people. If you weren't afraid of our Tiansheng Nation, why would you secretly carry out so many tricks? If your Flying Cavalry were really that powerful, why wouldn't you dare to confront us openly? And why would you even release something like the plague?"
His scolding caused the expression of Zhu Qingyan across from him to darken. "You little ant, you dare to shout at this prince? Ha, Xiliang is just trying to watch your Tiansheng Nation struggle to its death. After all, watching you beg for mercy in agony, perishing in grief, is far more joyful than an outright victory, isn't it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry behind him began to move.
"Show this prince what happens to these ants if they keep talking too hard." With a big wave of his hand, the flying cavalry sped up and rushed directly towards Mulansheng's team.
The Eagle Guards on this side naturally took the lead in the front line.
After all, their medical team is in the rear.
Qiu Hanqing and others from the medical team had already escorted the female medical staff to retreat. The young masters had never seen such a scene before and were all frightened and turned pale.
They were originally logistics personnel, and even when they arrived at the battlefield, they only treated the wounded in the rear.
Now, we are facing the enemy's spears head-on.
Obviously, the Eagle Guards could not be a match for the Flying Cavalry.
The enemy was too well-armed, and the Eagle Guards had just fought a battle and marched for half a month, so they were already exhausted.
Soon, the flying cavalry was unstoppable and pushed the Eagle Guards one-sidedly. They had shields and spears in their hands and could attack and defend. The Eagle Guards were stabbed before they could even touch them.
Even Qin Xuan had his chest pierced by the leading cavalry.
The crowd was in a panic. Mulansheng was fighting against the flying cavalry in front of him while looking for Yun Miao, but he found that the crowd was in chaos at night and he couldn't find her at all.
This distracted him for a moment, allowing the opposing cavalry to find a flaw, but they immediately trapped him in the center.
"It seems that there is someone in this team that Mulansheng cares about!" Unexpectedly, Qingyan, who was watching the show leisurely on the opposite side, raised his eyebrows and said with some interest on his face.
However, at this moment...
"Hey, you bunch of black bastards, look here!" A young man climbed onto the top of a loaded wagon. Everyone saw him holding a pile of black stuff, which he then lit and threw towards the densest area of the Flying Cavalry. "Have a good trip!"
