|| During the days when Xiao Chen left, the Chu army and the Pantheon Sect were safe, but the spies sent to both sides came back with the news that the two sides were fighting fiercely, and the next big battle was not far off.

In particular, the Chu army lost two of the three battles, and although the last one was defeated with the help of the Jincheng people, and nearly 50,000 were killed, the total loss of troops was still greater than that of the Pantheistic Cult.

Meng Fei was cut off by no accident, and it was his master Yang Xingwu who personally supervised the execution.

Although Yang Xingwu has been demoted, he is still the supreme commander of these border towns.

As for the Pantheistic Cult, they have accumulated strength for so many years, just to fight back to the Central Plains and win the country.

But it didn't go well, and 80,000 casualties in exchange for 90,000 of the enemy was really nothing to brag about for them.

Because the Pantheistic Sect is no match for Great Chu, whether in terms of ruling population or troops, if a well-trained army cannot be used as one as ten, how can it be said to fight back to the Central Plains.

A group of high-level leaders in Heaven and Earth City are deeply reflecting on this matter, and some people say that using troops against Da Chu at this time is obviously a stupid trick.

First of all, its own power has not yet reached its peak, and secondly, the rule of Great Chu has not yet reached the stage of decay.

But if that's it, the previous battle will be in vain.

Moreover, even if their own side is willing to strike the army, is the Chu army willing? They have suffered such a big loss, can they give up?

The final result of the discussion was to continue to fight against the Chu army, to hone a strong army in a hundred battles in the war, and at the same time to pursue the method of nourishing the war by war, to absorb more troops, and finally to defeat the Great Chu.

The Chu army was really frightened, especially Yang Xingwu, who had suffered two setbacks himself, and he strictly ordered his troops to hold out and try not to have friction with the enemy before the imperial court sent a large army.

Whatever the strategy, they focus on each other, ignoring the golden city that is close at hand, and the golden city is a great time to recuperate.

The City Lord's Mansion is over, and Xiao Chen goes to the dungeon alone.

The guys of the Pantheon Sect are still locked up here.When the soldiers were besieging the city, Wang Taiji suggested that they be killed.Cut off their heads and throw them into the enemy formation.They were persuaded by Xiao Chen and Wang Xuanye.

These guys have become wasted people after taking cartilage powder for a long time.

I came to meet them to get a way out of their mouths on how to infiltrate Heaven and Earth City.

A quarter of an hour later, the little marquis came with joy and returned disappointed.

Several people said with great certainty that there were no defensive loopholes in Heaven and Earth City, and unless they were masters at the peak level of the Xuanwu Realm, it was possible to enter and exit without the gods knowing.

The little marquis was anxious to know the answer, of course, he would not wait until he reached the peak of the Xuanwu Realm.

Just like last time, he left a letter in his room, quietly left the City Lord's Mansion, and hurried to Heaven and Earth City as fast as he could.

For three days in a row, he stayed sneakily near the city wall, and he really couldn't find a way to enter the city.

If you want to enter the city, you must have a gate.

Just when he was at his wit's end, a guy on a tall horse appeared in his sight.

Almost subconsciously, he took the man down, grabbed a scimitar and cut off the other's head, put on the other man's clothes after he was killed, took his identification, and maybe sneaked into the city.

Seeing that he was about to raise his knife and fall, the other party said in an emphasis like killing a pig: "Heroes spare my life, I have no way to return to the Pantheon Cult, please don't kill me, ask for money or anything else, I will definitely give it to you."

The voice is a little familiar.The movements of the little marquis's hand slowed down.I looked at him and I was happy.It's really an acquaintance.Suo Getong, the eldest son of the Suo family, one of the four major families in Jincheng.

This kid defected to Cheng Da, Cheng Da was defeated and punished, he was lucky to avoid responsibility, became Cheng Da's only eyes and ears with the outside world, and often went out to help the master inquire about the situation.

This time I went to a tribe that Cheng Da had surrendered in his early years, and the purpose was to get several clan leaders to unite with the Holy Sect Master to help Cheng Da restore his official position as the Marquis of Xigudu.

Unlucky, I was about to enter the city, and I was met by Xiao Chen, the little marquis.

Suogton also recognized him, and continued to beg for mercy: "Chen Gongzi, for the sake of you and me, you don't kill me, okay...... I've buried tens of thousands of taels of gold in a place outside the Golden City, and if you let me live, the money will be yours."

The little marquis sneered: "Just tens of thousands of taels of gold, do you want to buy me?

"Then you say, what do I need to do to get my life back, as long as I can do it, I'll do it for you."

"Take me into the city, and I'll spare you."

"Ahh

Between his life and his betrayal of the Pantheists, Sogtong did not hesitate to choose the former, promising to take him into the city.

Two hours later, after passing through the disguise again, the little marquis became a little prince of the barbarian tribe, a faithful believer of the Pantheistic Cult.

The two of them rode their horses and swayed to the city gate.

The defenders of the city raised their crossbows and aimed at them.

Suogetong immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't get excited, my own people, I am the helmsman of the seat of the Marquis of Xigudu, Suogtong, I was ordered to go to the tribe in the south to convey orders, this is His Royal Highness the prince of the tribe, quickly open the city gate, we will return to the Lord Guduhou."

Although Cheng Da was punished, the title of Marquis of Xigu was not taken down, so his name is still very valuable here.

"Vouchers are available." The soldiers of the city shouted.

Suogeton took out his purple and gold waist card.The person on it hung a basket with a rope.He put the waist card in.Don't forget to whisper to Xiao Chen: "Don't worry.This is a normal step.As long as they are sure that the waist card is real.The city gate will be opened."

"Better so, or you're dead." The little marquis said coldly.

"You can rest assured that there will be no problem." Thorge flattered.

With a sound of "no problem with the waist card" at the top of the city, the heavy gate creaked and opened, and only opened a crack four feet wide, not fully open.

Sogtong hurriedly made a gesture of please: "Prince, please first."

"The rudder is polite, or you should please first." The little marquis insisted, and Sogtong had no choice but to beat his horse into the city and leave his back to him.

If this kid dares to play tricks, the little marquis will kill him as soon as possible.

Smoothly entered the city, Sogtong took him to a place where there was no one, and said with a huff, "Chen Gongzi, I have already brought you in.

"You're free, but you have to do something for me." Xiao Chen concluded that he would not dare to betray himself, because if it was known that he had brought outsiders into the city without permission, even if he voluntarily surrendered, it would be a dead end.
