Just as he was lost in thought, a commotion arose from the rear of the column, interrupting General Ye Xian…
"General, an unidentified cavalry force has appeared in the rear..."
"A force of cavalry of unknown origin has appeared on the general's left flank..."
General Esen was also taken aback, not knowing where the enemy had come from. However, as an experienced general, he immediately realized that he had encountered a formidable foe, someone who wanted to force him to the right flank...
There must be an ambush on the right wing, that was General Esen's judgment. Since we can't go to the right wing, we can't just attack the city directly, can we?
Attacking the city would leave him vulnerable to attacks from both sides, putting General Esen in a dilemma...
Before General Esen could think, a loud explosion rang out in the middle of the army, followed by a series of explosions. The frightened warhorses began to run wildly, throwing Esen's cavalry into chaos...
Seeing this, General Esen was also shaken, realizing he had encountered a master. To avoid an ambush, he immediately led his cavalry to charge towards the enemy behind him...
But just as his cavalrymen turned around, they heard someone shout.
"General Esen has been defeated! Everyone, run!"
Such sounds immediately rang out throughout the military camp, and then countless torches were lit on the city wall, and dust suddenly billowed up on their right flank...
"There's an ambush! Everyone run!"
Someone shouted something, and with the pressure from the city walls, no one could tell if the message was true or false. They genuinely believed that a large number of cavalry had appeared on the right flank, and General Esen's troops were thrown into chaos...
No matter how he shouted, it had little effect; his cavalry charged left and right...
"Raise my command flag..."
General Esen shouted the order!
The moment Esen raised his banner, the chaotic cavalry finally saw their commander and felt reassured…
But just as the flag was raised, a whooshing sound came from the air, and an arrow pierced the flagpole in two...
And then a loud shout came from who-knows-where.
"Run! Everyone, General Esen has been killed..."
General Esen, sitting on his horse, was furious. "I'm perfectly fine, who the hell is shouting at me?"
Unaware of the truth, the cavalrymen could no longer hold their ground and began to scatter and flee...
"Fight your way out..."
General Esen led the soldiers he could muster and charged backwards, intending to escape...
This battle left General Esen bewildered, and his defeat equally inexplicable…
He never saw the enemy from beginning to end, and was driven away in all directions...
By the time he realized what had happened, he was completely devastated. Looking at his dwindling number of men, he knew he had suffered a huge loss this time…
"General, Prince Hahamu is missing..."
General Esen looked around and found that the other party was indeed gone, but he said indifferently...
"If he's gone, he's gone. His life or death is no longer important..."
Loulan City!
Inside the royal palace…
Haha Mu was tied up in the main hall of the palace, staring in terror at Wang Yanzhang sitting on the throne…
"General, spare my life..."
Hahamu quickly begged for mercy!
"Draw blood from him..."
Without wasting words, Wang Yanzhang immediately arranged for someone to bleed Hahamu…
"No... have mercy, General... I'll tell you everything, please don't kill me... I killed my second brother, I only slept with three of Father's concubines, there really weren't any more..."
Haha Mu wailed and begged for mercy, but received no sympathy. Instead, those who heard his words thought he was a beast, cruelly murdering his own siblings and corrupting the harem...
Soon, the palace floor flashed with light, and Hahamu was thrown aside like a dead dog…
Haha Mu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "If you wanted to open the Land of Reincarnation, you should have said so earlier. It's not that I'm uncooperative. This rudeness scared my heart so much it was pounding..."
Li Zhu, who was searching for an exit, sensed the movement in the Land of Reincarnation and seized the opportunity to fly out with the Blue Phoenix...
Just as the two appeared at the cave entrance, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, carrying the blue phoenix to the palace hall...
Just then, the entrance to the Land of Reincarnation disappeared. Li Zhu looked at the blue phoenix opposite him, a look of pain in his eyes…
"Hand over the Imperial Seal and the Yongzhou Cauldron, or I'll kill the spirit within her..."
The demon god's voice echoed throughout the hall. Li Zhu stopped the soldiers who wanted to rush forward and looked at the demon god coldly, saying...
"You're making too many demands. Give me back Wang Riqing and Xiaolongnu, and I can give you the Imperial Seal and the Yongzhou Cauldron..."
"Ha ha…"
The demon god's laughter echoed throughout the hall, and a surge of black energy flowed into Lan Fenghuang's body, causing her expression to contort in pain, yet no sound escaped her lips…
Li Zhu knew that Xiaolongnu was currently being tormented by the demon god, which immediately made him show an anxious expression...
Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?
The demon god's cold voice rang out, causing Li Zhu's heart to sink instantly...
"Fine... I promise you, if you release Little Dragon Girl, the Yongzhou Cauldron and the Imperial Seal are yours..."
Li Zhu said anxiously, fearing that the demon god would really kill Xiaolongnu…
Everyone around was bewildered, wondering what was wrong with their crown prince and why he was talking to thin air…
Just then, the Yongzhou Ding and the Imperial Seal appeared in the main hall…
Li Zhu said without hesitation
"Release Little Dragon Girl, and you may take these two items with you..."
The demon god's maniacal laughter rang out, and then a person emerged from Blue Phoenix's body—it was the Little Dragon Girl who had possessed Blue Phoenix's body…
Only when he held Xiaolongnu firmly in his arms did Li Zhu finally feel relieved...
Just as the Demon God was about to leave with the Blue Phoenix, Li Zhu spoke up.
"Give me back Wang Riqing, and I'll give you the Jizhou Cauldron too..."
The demon god paused for a moment, then said...
"That's wishful thinking. Wang Riqing is worth far more than that..."
After speaking, the Demon God led Blue Phoenix away from the main hall, leaving the tense crowd stunned, unsure whether they should make a move...
Li Zhu's face darkened; he realized the demon god was far too difficult to deal with...
"General Wang, have you heard any news about Qingqing during this time?"
Li Zhu looked at Wang Yanzhang beside him and asked!
"We've searched the entire city of Loulan several times, but there's absolutely no news..."
Wang Yanzhang replied with worry in his eyes. After all, she was his daughter. They hadn't found her for so long, and now that they finally had some news, they still hadn't found her. This made him deeply worried about his daughter's safety...
"It's alright. Now that we know they're in the hands of the Miao people, let's just snatch them back from them..."
Li Zhu said calmly, while inwardly scoffing, "My things aren't so easy to take..."
Loulan City cannot be without a ruler for even a day. Because of the special nature of the Land of Reincarnation, no one else can become king. In the end, Li Zhu supported Hahamu…
