Chapter 25: Accidents
Woo~
The horn sounded, and the 100,000 troops that shook the earth had arrived in Snow City.
The southern gate of Xuelu City is also rarely closed.
On top of the horse, leading an army of 100,000 is General Li Kun, the proud general of the former prince, who is a veteran soldier who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round.
Although the crown prince himself came, he only hid in a tent far away.
"General Lee."
The prince's personal eunuch, Jiang Gonggong, walked to General Li's side.
"It turned out to be Gonggong Jiang, you didn't accompany the prince, what's the matter with coming here?" General Lee asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants you to send someone to inform Wu Tian again, and then give him one last chance to surrender, I hope he can seize this opportunity." Jiang Gonggong said.
It seems that Ye Futian still doesn't want to go to war, after all, this snowy city is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Okay, I see."
After Jiang Gonggong left, General Li immediately began to give orders.
"Someone!"
"Yes."
"Now immediately send someone to communicate with Xuelu City and tell Wu Tian, the city lord of Xuelu City, if he ......" General Li was only halfway through his words, there was a sudden sound of metal colliding at the gate of Xuelu City.
Squeak squeak......
The south gate of Snow Castle slowly opened.
What's going on? I haven't even sent a messenger to communicate, why did this Xuelu City open its gates?
Could it be that Xueluo City is going to face the imperial court head-on? If this is the case, then this Wu Tian is too self-sufficient, the total number of people in this Xuelu City may only be 50,000 or 60,000, and the imperial court has brought 100,000 troops.
The door opened, and behind it there was only a large cart, pulled by only a dozen or so men, and on the cart there was a wooden cell, and there seemed to be a man locked inside.
"That'...... Isn't that Wu Tian? General Li recognized the man locked in the cart, and he still had an impression of this former number one master in Ouchi.
"Qiong Wujing, the acting city lord of Xueluo City, will present the rebel sinner Wu Tian." The king stepped forward and said.
"This ......"
General Li didn't know what to do for a while, wasn't the purpose of their expedition this time to conquer Wu Tian?
"General Li, do you want to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" A soldier next to him asked.
"Go! Go and inform the prince, and he will say...... Wu Tian has been captured. General Li commanded.
I didn't expect Wu Tian to become like this, this is really an unexpected situation.
……
On the outskirts of the Vast City.
Under the peach blossom tree, Ye Lingyun teased the fish in the creek with bait, and the fish sometimes jumped out of the water, and the splash would fall on Ye Lingyun, but he didn't care.
Coo-woo-woo...... Coo-woo-woo......
A dark green dove hovered above the peach blossom tree, it was a carrier pigeon, which belonged only to the woman.
Ye Lingyun stretched out an index finger, and the carrier pigeon flew to that index finger and stopped, with a small note tied to its leg.
"It's finally news, I'm bored waiting." Ye Lingyun smiled like a child, he was looking forward to seeing the news of the end of Xuelu City.
Presumably, Ye Futian also suffered heavy losses, after all, Snow Castle was a fortress specially built to defend against the bloodthirsty beasts of the frozen soil.
However, the only thing that surprised Ye Lingyun was the duration of this war, he didn't expect the news from Qingsi's side to come so quickly, he thought that this battle would last for a long time.
He opened the note and looked at it carefully.
His expression gradually changed, surprise, disappointment, shock, and finally curiosity, he frowned and crumpled the small note in his hand into a small ball, and then kept rubbing it in his hand, wishing to rub it away like this.
"Lingyun, are you there?"
Lu Ren is here, this time he has something important to tell Ye Lingyun.
Ye Lingyun ignored Lu Ren and immersed himself in his own thoughts.
"What's wrong, Ling Yun? You look weird. Lu Ren looked at the strange Ye Lingyun and asked.
Ye Lingyun was surprised that Xuelu City was not destroyed by the imperial court, and not even a battle broke out, he was very disappointed that Xuelu City could continue to exist like this, according to Qingsi, before the imperial court's troops arrived in Xuelu City, there was civil strife in Xuelu City, and the reactionary forces directly took Wu Tian and handed it over to the imperial court, which Ye Lingyun never expected.
Qingsi also wrote that behind the civil strife in Xuelu City was all planned by one person, and that person was now announced by the prince to become the new city lord of Xuelu City, which made Ye Lingyun very curious, who is this person? What kind of person saved Snowy City? What happened after the imperial court entered the Snow Castle?
The information that can be expressed by a small note is not enough to satisfy Ye Lingyun at all.
He really wanted to go to Snow Castle now.
"Lingyun!" Lu Ren patted Ye Lingyun's shoulder heavily.
Ye Lingyun was taken aback.
"Ahh What's wrong! ”
Ye Lingyun was still a little surprised to see Lu Ren standing behind him, because Lu Ren usually doesn't come here, unless Ye Lingyun informed him, but this time Lu Ren came completely by himself.
"Gong Lu? It's you, why are you here? Ye Lingyun asked.
"Ling Yun, there is news from Xueluo City, the imperial court has not started a war with Xueluo City, because Wu Tian ......"
"Gong Lu, you don't need to say it, I probably already know about it." Ye Lingyun interrupted Lu Ren, it seemed that Lu Ren's news came slower than Qingsi's carrier pigeon.
"Oh? You got it? Lu Ren was quite surprised, he didn't expect Ye Lingyun to have his own eyeliner.
"Well, although I don't know why, someone did save Xuelu City." Ye Lingyun thought for a while and continued: "I just don't know who this new city lord of Xuelu City is. ”
"The new city lord of Snow Castle...... How? Are you interested in him? Lu Ren said.
"Hmm." Ye Lingyun nodded.
"Why?"
“…… He is the one who caused the civil strife in Snowy City, and this civil strife can be regarded as saving Snowy City. ”
"Saving a snow city can actually arouse your interest?" Lu Ren continued: "But if you want to get to know him, it's not difficult. ”
"Oh? How to say this. Ye Lingyun's eyes lit up.
"Next week is the ceremony of the crown prince's enthronement, and the city lords of all the northern towns will come to the imperial city, and the new city lord of the snow city will definitely have to come to participate in the enthronement ceremony, but it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just you, Lingyun, you're not allowed to enter the Vast City."
He, Ye Lingyun, was driven out of the Vast City by the royal family, and everyone in the entire Vast City knew about it, so how could he go back easily?
"Hehe, whether you can enter the Vast City or not, it has always been my own decision." Ye Lingyun said.
For Ye Lingyun, it was not difficult to sneak into the imperial city.
Now that Ye Futian is about to ascend the throne, it is time for him to start his revenge plan.
