The night in Chonglou Town was quite dangerous, and this group of Rouran assassins who jumped out of nowhere were quickly dealt with after Zhuang Bei, Duguhai and others made a move.

As the news spread, the Heaven Supervisor Division and the Earth Net Ground People also quickly rushed to Chonglou Town.

And in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the Heaven Supervisor Division has sent people to surround the inn, and all entry and exit need to be strictly checked.

In this regard, the innkeeper did not dare to have any complaints, and Chonglou Town, which was mixed with fish and dragons, also became silent because of the arrival of the Heavenly Supervisor and the Earth Net.

In the small courtyard, Princess Shuzhen and Shen Jing didn't know that the world had been turned upside down outside because of this matter.

Shen Guo and her have nothing to say, but Dugu Nanqiao, because of their respective identities, there is a lot to say between the two.

After chatting with Lin Yu for half an hour, Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao went back to the room.

There was only one bed, so Shen Guo gave it up righteously, even if Dugu Nanqiao blushed and asked Shen Jing to sleep on the bed, Shen Jing still didn't do it.

Dugu Nanqiao is different from Lin Wanzhao and Jiang Ning, so the relationship between the two may need a further opportunity.

Early the next morning, as the Heavenly Supervisor and the Earth Net hid out of nowhere again, Chonglou Town resumed its previous noise, and all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods also surfaced

The most talked about in the morning is naturally the same movement as last night.

Most people didn't know exactly what was going on, they just guessed that it was definitely not a good thing to be able to alarm the Heavenly Supervisor and the Earth Net.

And there are also those who know a little bit about the inn last night, and they say that they are a pair of Rouran assassins who came out of nowhere.

The news of Chonglou Town spread in all directions very quickly, so in just a few hours, several versions were circulated.

But the four words of the Rouran Assassin seem to be branded and connected to the whole thing.

Great Wei was a defeat on the battlefield on the northern front, and now the Rouran assassins have arrived outside the capital, which has to make people wonder about the situation of the frontline battle, even if it is defeated, it should not be defeated so thoroughly.

Princess Shuzhen's convoy returned to Luoyang early the next morning, and Lin Yu invited Shen Kuang and Dugu Nanqiao to go with him, but Nan Qiao refused. So retreating to the second, Lin Yu asked Shen Kuang and the two to go to the princess's mansion to disturb them after they arrived in Luoyang.

As the sister of the new emperor Yuanke, Princess Shuzhen Linyu is also the only one who is allowed to open a mansion outside the palace without getting married, which also shows the new emperor's love for Princess Shuzhen.

Because there is no distance from Luoyang now, and I have seen Princess Shuzhen again, Shen Qing is no longer so anxious when he goes on the road again.

The two of them naturally listened to some crazy words in Chonglou Town, and they didn't understand the successive defeats in the front-line battles, in fact, Shen was not very understanding, which was also the consensus of most Great Wei people.

Throughout the past, Da Wei has always chased Rouran people to fight, and now he has to look at Rouran people's faces.

However, after the departure, the discussion between Shen Kuang and Dugu Nanqiao basically did not involve these.

On the south road, Shen Guo led the horse slowly, and Dugu Nanqiao followed Shen Jing's side.

As the two walked, Dugu Nanqiao asked, "Now that we have seen each other, we will soon be able to enter the city, so what should we do in the future?"

Hearing this, Shen Guan patted the big man beside him who was humming, and he said slowly: "Actually, at the beginning, I had some consideration about the purpose of the two major families' moves, but as time passed, I suddenly realized that their really early purpose was not what I thought. Now that they have all been driven out of Great Wei by your father's soldiers and horses, and there are no remnants of Qinghe, Qizhou and the surrounding forces, even if I really kill Princess Shuzhen?"

Dugu Nanqiao heard this: "Their approach is more like breaking the net with the emperor's fish in the end, but the person who broke the net is not them, but you. But because your identity is sensitive, they can kill two birds with one stone from a different perspective. While this is just my guess, I think you can see some clues. It's hard to say what their true purpose is for the time being, but since they have spent so much effort to hijack Shi Yu and Xiang'er, they won't just do it for such superficial purposes."

Because since leaving Donghai City, off

Uncle Yu and Shi Yu rarely knew about their news. And in the Luoyang boundary, there are very few activities in Louwailou, so Shen Guan can't get the situation of Shi Yu and Xiang'er from Louwailou.

Counting the time, if Shi Yu and Xiang'er hadn't been in Langyu, they would have already arrived in Nanliang.

Shen is in a hurry, but now the only way to do it is to take it slowly.

Luoyang City, as the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, is also the throat of the north-south trade exchanges, so the prosperity of Luoyang is the best in the Great Wei.

On the official road outside the city, there are too many pedestrians and businessmen coming and going from the south to the north, so Shen Guo and Dugu Nanqiao, who is walking with a white hat, are not very special.

Shen Kuang and Dugu Nanqiao were not in a hurry because they were not in a hurry, so they were not fast.

This time, Nan Qiao led the hero, and the two moved forward by the side of the official road.

Daxia's attitude towards Nan Qiao seems to be better than Shen's, at least he won't occasionally hum and express his dissatisfaction.

Near the city of Luoyang, the bustling noise is endless, and there are already vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road.

The capital is prosperous, and the city gate is larger, but there are many people congested outside the city gate.

Because the two were not in a hurry, they simply followed the crowd and waited.

During this period, Shen Guo heard a lot of people around him talking.

Two of the vendors exclaimed, "Hey, have you heard, the Rouran Assassins have arrived at our door?"

After the man finished speaking, the other asked incredulously, "When did I hear about it, why haven't I heard about it?"

"I don't know yet, Chonglou Town went crazy early this morning, and the movement made by the Rouran Assassin last night was not ordinary. I've heard that it's been a long time since I heard that the Celestial Supervisor and the Earth Net have felt it, and I don't know what these Assassins have done."

"Oh, iniquity. This is all in Chonglou Town, and the next step must be the capital, and we can't do this business."

"Who's to say it's not, it's a little life that matters."

"From the day we set out on the expedition, we all thought we had won, and with General Yuwen, we haven't lost yet. But who knows, the result this time was beyond our expectations. Have you heard, after the Rouran army is trapped in Jiuquan, their next step is to break through?"

After this person finished speaking, the people around him answered, "Not really. I also heard that Rouran has transferred another large army from the grassland to support the Jiuquan defenders, this time to fight a battle with our Great Wei to bet on the fortunes of the country."

Although they are all the lowest people in the Great Wei, these people are obviously more concerned about the affairs of the family and the country.

Shen Kuanru listened to it for a long time, and he also got a lot of news that he didn't know before.

For a long time, Shen Guo had thought about the situation of returning to Meiwu City after the matter was over.

If so, I don't know how many, but in the end, it didn't come true.

And this time, Shen Kuang's thoughts before going to Luoyang were still the same, but what he saw and heard along the way made Shen Kuang change his mind.

When his family and country are in danger, he also needs to stand up.

However, Shen Guo never talked about these thoughts with Dugu Nanqiao.

More and more people gathered outside the city gate, but the speed of inspection at the city gate was still the same.

At noon, the crowd waiting outside the city gate suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

When everyone heard the sound, they saw a team coming in a hurry, estimated that there were less than five people, but it seemed that they were all seriously injured.

The few people who were crumbling on the horse were Luoyang who had to return with their last breath, so that before they reached the city gate, the leader fell from his horse and rolled on the ground several times before stopping, and the person was already unconscious.

The men who followed him fell from their horses almost immediately after.

Seeing this, the team that was still waiting for the process immediately gave way to the road and lined up on both sides.

And after learning of this sudden situation, the city gate guards immediately sent people to investigate the situation.

After a short time, a large number of soldiers came out of the city gate to isolate the people around them, and they immediately stepped forward to verify their identities and inquire about the situation.

The first to take the lead is like this squad

He seemed to feel the person they were waiting for coming.

The man grabbed the soldier who stepped forward to investigate, and he used the last bit of strength in his body to say with difficulty, "There is an enemy in the northwest Chuanyun Pass."

His voice was so soft that the soldier listened almost to his ear, and after seven words, the man swallowed.

This sudden change and the news they brought back couldn't help but make this team of city guards shudder, because the Chuanyun Pass in the northwest of Luoyang is small but the geographical location is extremely important, and after the Chuanyun Pass is Tongguan.

Therefore, there was no time to think about it, and it was too late to consider whether these people were dead or not, and the city guards immediately brought the five people back to the city.

Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao witnessed this scene not far away, and Shen Jing could see that the person in the lead was dead.

Seeing that the injuries of the five people are all remnants, the appearance of several people is obviously caused by rushing back, combined with the three words Chuanyunguan, Shen Qian speculated that something happened in Chuanyunguan.

Shen Kuang guessed what was going on and didn't rush to talk to Dugu Nanqiao, because Shen Kuang noticed that someone was deliberately covering up the person's voice, and it seemed that there was a master hiding around.

In this way, Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao watched as if they were nothing, until the five of them were brought back to the city.

The commotion outside the city was immediately quelled, and the city guards forbade anyone around them to talk about it.

After everything was restored to normal, Shen Jing slowly spoke, "Qiao'er, do you know Chuanyun Pass?"

Hearing Shen Guan suddenly mention Chuanyun Pass, although he was puzzled, Dugu Nanqiao still replied: "Chuanyun Pass is northwest of Luoyang, not far from Tongguan. Chuanyun Pass is only a small pass, but because of its special geographical location, it is a necessary place to enter Tongguan."

Hearing this, Shen Guo said, "How is the garrison of Chuanyun Pass?"

Nan Qiao shook his head and said, "Because Chuanyun Pass is adjacent to Tongguan, although Chuanyun Pass has a special location, there are not many garrisons, and most of the garrisons are in Tongguan."

Dugu Nanqiao, who was still puzzled, also realized something after saying this, and she immediately asked, "You mean that those five people are the defenders of Chuanyun Pass?"

Shen said, "I'm not sure if it's yet, but I heard the word Chuanyunguan from that person's mouth."

Hearing this, Nan Qiao lowered his head and pondered, if it was calculated according to time, even if the Rouran army broke through the Great Wei defense line in the south of Jiuquan City, how could it reach the end of the Cloud Pass so quickly?

"Could it be that the front line was so completely defeated that it couldn't even be stopped?" Nan Qiao muttered to himself.

Although Shen Guo was also very reluctant to believe this fact, the matter had come to this point, and the ending seemed to be doomed.

"Let's go to the city first, we'll talk about the rest later."

————

In the palace, Yuan Ke specially ordered someone to invite Prime Minister Cui Hao over today.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yuan Ke deliberately left a group of people, three of whom were there. In addition, Li Ji and several other Zhuguo generals were also retained.

Early this morning, Yuan Ke did not put the front-line battle report on the bright side, because all this came too suddenly, and there was not even a turning point.

"Since the people from the Heavenly Supervisor Division and the Earth Network have left the Chinese army camp, the news they have sent back has lagged behind, and General Yuwen has not sent back news for a few days. How could Rouran's 60,000-strong army break through the Hexi defense line, and now all the way south has reached Chuanyun Pass."

Regarding this matter, everyone in the hall can't say why, because before that, it was clear that the daily battle report was normal.

Yuan Ke has been suppressing the anger in his heart, from the overall point of view, the result of the battle on the northern front is too ugly, and Yuwentai, as the main general, is naturally to blame.

"If you don't speak, are you waiting for me to personally go to the outside of Chuanyun Pass to kill the enemy?"

After Yuan Ke finished speaking, Li Yan said: "Your Majesty, there is no other way for today's plan but to shrink the defense line and let the army hold Tongguan. Although there are less than 30,000 horses in the pass now, relying on the advantage of the pass, we will definitely be able to stop the Rouran army."

After Li Yan finished speaking, Yuan Ke didn't seem to care, he said, "Why can't General Yuwen's army form a little hindrance? It is said that there are at least 15,000 people outside Chuanyun Pass, and they are all Rouran

Cavalry. If they choose to garrison Chuanyun Pass, it's fine, but if they choose to abandon the pass and go north or east, the counties will be devastated."

The anger in Yuan Ke's heart was not expressed because of this, and he could only endure his anger at the moment of the great enemy, and settle accounts after the autumn.
