Qian Kun stood on the city wall, his face gloomy, completely baffled as to what Chen Zhennan meant.
It's really strange that Chen Zhennan, with only 200 men and 80,000 troops surrounding him, could still act so fearlessly.
"Someone come here!"
Upon hearing this, a guard hurriedly stepped forward, "Prince Ning."
“Send someone to ask Chen Zhennan what he’s up to. Tell him that if he knows what’s good for him, he should hand over my two sons right away. Otherwise, my 80,000 troops will crush him into dust.”
"yes!"
After saying this, the guard turned and walked away, immediately sending a messenger to find Chen Zhennan.
The envoy sent by Qian Kun entered Chen Zhennan's tent with an arrogant air, looking at Chen Zhennan without any fear.
"Chen Zhennan, my Prince Ning has ordered that if you know what's good for you, hand over the two young masters as soon as possible, or your 80,000 troops will slaughter you until you are nothing but bones."
The messenger's words were full of arrogance, as if he could already see Chen Zhennan's doom.
However, Chen Zhennan did not react to these words; he even had a slight smile on his face.
A hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. Since seven years ago, countless people had threatened him in this way, but each time it turned out to be the other party's mindless boasting.
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Zhennan smiled and said sarcastically, "If these 80,000 troops really have that kind of ability, why would they keep babbling in front of me? I'd like to go into the city myself and talk to Qian Kun. If he's capable, let me see for myself."
The envoy was stunned. Wasn't Chen Zhennan afraid of death? He actually dared to enter the city to find Prince Ning!
"Are you sure?" the envoy asked, somewhat incredulously.
Chen Zhennan tilted his head and asked, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Very well, I will go back and report to Prince Ning right away."
After saying this, the envoy turned and left, returning to Ningzhou City, and hurriedly relayed Chen Zhennan's words to Qian Kun.
Upon hearing this, Qian Kun was overjoyed, but was immediately filled with doubt.
"Is Chen Zhennan really courting death? He dares to come into the city to find me, isn't he afraid I'll kill him?"
"But if Chen Zhennan really has such courage, perhaps it's not unreasonable."
After some thought, Qian Kun decided to grant Chen Zhennan's request and ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome him.
After receiving the invitation, Chen Zhennan smiled slightly; everything was as he had expected.
He took Yan Shiyu and two other team members with him, and ordered the rest of the men to stay put and wait. He told them that if he didn't return before dark, they should kill Qian Zijing and Qian Zihao.
As Chen Zhennan led Yan Shiyu and two teammates toward the city gate, the atmosphere in Ningzhou City immediately became tense, as if the air itself was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
"Chen Zhennan, you're really a bold person!"
Qian Kun stood at the city gate, a sinister smile on his face, secretly pleased with himself. Once you enter the city, it will be your death day, Chen Zhennan!
Chen Zhennan walked leisurely, leading Yan Shiyu and two other brothers to Qian Kun.
The archers on the city wall, like hawks poised to pounce, drew their bows and aimed at him.
Chen Zhennan raised his head slightly, his gaze sharp and penetrating through the layers of arrows. A faint smile appeared on his lips, his face serene.
“Prince Ning, I advise you to let them put it down, otherwise my brothers will get angry.”
Upon hearing this, Qian Kun immediately revealed a disdainful smile, his lips curling up in contempt: "This is my territory. What can your men do? Even if they're angry, what can they change?"
Upon hearing this, the officials behind him echoed his sentiments, their mocking laughter rising like a tide, drowning out the surrounding air.
However, just as their laughter echoed in the air, Yan Shiyu, who was behind Chen Zhennan, suddenly pulled out a pistol from his pocket. His movements were swift and decisive, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. Without hesitation, he fired three shots at the city wall.
In that instant, the laughter of the officials behind Qian Kun stopped abruptly, and their smiles froze.
The three corpses fell from the city wall like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust, as if proclaiming Chen Zhennan's dominance.
"This is the anger of my brothers."
Chen Zhennan smiled slightly, his gaze sharp as he swept over the shocked faces around him.
At this moment, the military officers beside Qian Kun stepped forward one after another, drawing their swords and pointing them at Chen Zhennan.
Upon seeing this, Yan Shiyu quickly lowered the muzzle of his gun, and the two team members behind him hurriedly raised their submachine guns and aimed them at Qian Kun's head.
Just as things were about to escalate, Qian Kun slowly raised his hand, signaling the people around him to step back.
"Indeed extraordinary, please come in."
As he spoke, Qian Kun pointed in the direction of the city. Chen Zhennan nodded softly, signaling Yan Shiyu to put down his gun, and then strolled leisurely into the city gate.
Upon arriving at the Prince of Ning's residence, Qian Kun ordered a banquet to be arranged, with the table laden with delicacies from land and sea, fine wines and delicacies.
Chen Zhennan didn't stand on ceremony and led his three brothers to sit down, acting as if they were at home.
Not long after everyone sat down, Chen Zhennan had only taken a couple of bites of food and hadn't even had a sip of wine when Qian Kun's vanguard general launched the first attack.
"Chen Zhennan, Ningzhou City is not a place you can come and go as you please! If you don't release these two young masters, I'll make sure you're beheaded!"
Chen Zhennan was slightly taken aback, then rolled his eyes and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring directly at the man, and immediately cursed, "Who the hell are you? Do you have any right to speak here?"
The general was stunned, his face instantly turning ashen, and anger almost bursting from his eyes.
No one expected Chen Zhennan to actually curse, and the civil and military officials were all stunned.
The vanguard slammed his hand on the table, abruptly stood up, his chest heaving like an enraged beast, and gritted his teeth, saying, "This general is the vanguard general under the command of Prince Ning, Zhao..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Zhennan's patience had run out. He turned to Qian Kun, his brows furrowed, and his tone was impatient: "If you don't care about your own people, then I'll have to let my people educate them. You choose one?"
The vanguard's face grew increasingly grim, burning with rage, yet also filled with some apprehension.
"You...how dare you be so rude!"
Chen Zhennan smiled contemptuously and couldn't help but say, "Rude? I, Chen Zhennan, am sitting right here. If you want to make a move, feel free to try!"
Upon hearing this, everyone at the banquet exchanged bewildered glances. The vanguard was furious, clenching his fists tightly, but dared not make a move.
With a scoff, Chen Zhennan slowly picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
"Let me tell you, I'm not here to negotiate today."
Chen Zhennan's tone was extremely arrogant, and Qian Kun, who was listening, also became impatient, and his expression gradually turned serious.
"If you're not here to negotiate, then what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to beat you up."
