low-key is king

Chapter 253 250 Sanning is a loyal soul, not a traitor!

Xuanyang Kingdom, Northern Territory, Xiawu City!

This is a strong city in the north of Xuanyang. Its walls are high and thick, and there is a moat outside. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack!
But at this moment in Xiawu City, the north gate was completely broken, and countless Golden Wind troops rushed into the city, screaming everywhere, and a tragic scene, like a hell on earth.

After five days of siege, the Golden Wind army finally captured this strong city, and for this strong resistance Xuanyang Fortified City, King Jinfeng directly ordered the massacre of the city.

Speaking of which, after the Jinfeng army went south, besides the King of Zhendong Lu Mingyang who arranged for some dead men to detonate the explosives in the northern city, most of the soldiers and civilians in the northern city retreated in an orderly manner.

During this period of time, Jinfeng Kingdom went down to five cities in a row, and they hardly encountered any resistance. This made them feel as if they had punched Mianhua with a fist, and they were extremely depressed.

It was not until they came to Xiawu City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, that Jinfeng Kingdom fought its first tough battle. After paying the price of nearly [-] soldiers, it finally broke through the north gate of Xiawu City.

In fact, the order to retreat from the capital of Xuanyang had already been sent to Xiawucheng, but the guard of Xiawucheng was a distant relative of the Yan family. city.

Although the defender of Xiawu City has some relatives with the Yan family, he is extremely brave. He was promoted to the city lord because of his solid military achievements, not a skinny general like Yan Qingxi.

As a remnant of the Yan family, the Lord of Xiawu City knew what his fate would be next, but at this time, the Jinfeng army was going south, which gave him a chance of life.

Of course, this glimmer of hope is not for him to lead Xiawucheng to surrender, but an opportunity to pay off his merits and sins. As long as Xiawucheng can stop Jinfeng City from going south, the merits and demerits will be offset.

At this time of employment, the Zhendong Palace had obviously investigated the Lord of Xiawu City, and knew that his relationship with the Yan family was not deep, so they gave the order to retreat, and did not want to make this unnecessary sacrifice.

It's a pity that this city lord of Xiawu City has a single tendon, coupled with the high walls of Xiawu City and the natural danger of the moat, he thinks that Xiawu City will definitely be able to defend it.

It's just that this man overestimated himself and underestimated Jinfeng Nation's determination. After the opponent suffered a big loss in Beilin City, it aroused great morale and captured Xiawu City in five days.

All the soldiers and civilians in Xiawu City paid a heavy price for the city lord's self-willedness. Except for a few people who escaped from the south gate in advance, almost all of them were slaughtered.

"Yan Zhaowen, are you still not surrendering?"

Fang Lun, the prime minister of the Golden Wind Kingdom, who was riding a tall steed, galloped out from the side of the monarch Ning Taiping. When he saw the Lord of Xiawu City who had retreated to the south gate, but did not flee for his life, he suddenly shouted loudly.

At this moment, the city lord of Xiawu City was soaked in blood. Seeing him beheading a Jinfeng soldier who rushed over, he suddenly turned his gaze to the Jinfeng monarch and minister over there, with a hint of despair in his eyes, and A trace of regret.

If he had known that the Jinfeng army was so brave, Yan Zhaowen would never have defended Xiawu City. Seeing the corpses of Xiawu soldiers and civilians on the street in front of him, his heart was bleeding.

"I'm the one who killed all the people in this city!"

Yan Zhaowen let out a long sigh in his heart, but raised his head the next moment, his eyes gleamed with anger, and shouted sharply: "I am the Lord of Xiawu City, the city is alive, and the city is dead!"

Now that things have happened, Yan Zhaowen can only do his best to escort more people out of the city.

But manpower is sometimes poor, even if he is a martial artist who has just entered the fifth realm, he is basically powerless.

"Totally stupid!"

Hearing Yan Zhaowen's words, Fang Lun could not help cursing angrily, then rolled his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Yan Zhaowen, did you forget that the Yan family died at the hands of the Zhendong Palace?"

"Your biggest enemy is not my Jinfeng Country, but the Zhendong Prince's Mansion. Haven't you thought about avenging the Yan family's blood hatred? Or are you, Yan Zhaowen, a familyless generation who has forgotten his ancestors?"

It has to be said that the prime minister of Jinfeng Kingdom is quite eloquent, and he also knows the information of Xuanyang Kingdom very well. At least he knows that the guard of Xiawu City in front of him is named Yan.

"What about my Xuanyang country, it's not up to you invaders to make irresponsible remarks!"

There was a glint of gloom in Yan Zhaowen's eyes. Regarding the destruction of the Yan family, he naturally had resentment towards the Zhendong Palace, but in the final analysis, it was just a struggle within the Xuanyang Kingdom.

And deep down in Yan Zhaowen's heart, he may not feel that the actions of Yan Rongdao and his daughter are correct. No matter which dynasty or generation, it is a big treason to seek to usurp the throne.

This may also be an important reason why Yan Zhaowen chose to stick to this Wucheng. Anyway, the remnants of the Yan family will not escape death after all, but the people of this Wucheng have suffered.

"Yan Zhaowen, you must know that only I, the Golden Wind Country, can help you avenge your great revenge!"

A flash of anger flashed in Fang Lun's eyes, but he still tried to persuade him again with his temper: "As long as you surrender my golden wind, the truth is guaranteed, how about letting you kill that old thief Lu Mingyang?"

For a strong man who has just entered the fifth realm, Fang Lun doesn't mind spending more words, and he knows Yan Zhaowen quite well, knowing that this man is brave and good at fighting, and he is a rare fighter.

Moreover, the opponent is a native of Xuanyang Kingdom, and they know more about Xuanyang Kingdom's terrain and distribution of troops than Jinfeng Kingdom. If they can recruit the Wu City Lord, it will definitely make the next battle more effective.

"I would rather be a loyal soul than a traitor!"

Yan Zhaowen looked at the people who fled from behind the city, and at the soldiers and civilians who couldn't escape after all. He just uttered these ten words to show his determination.

"I would rather be a loyal soul than a traitor!"

Originally blocked in the city, there were still some anxious soldiers. After hearing the city lord's cross, they suddenly burst into blood and fought back.

It's a pity that the situation in Xiawu City is over, the counterattack of these soldiers in the city was quickly suppressed, and in the end only Yan Zhaowen and a few soldiers beside him were left.

"Stubborn!"

As if seeing Yan Zhaowen's determination, Fang Lun suddenly felt that what he said just now had become nonsense, which made him a little bit annoyed.

"I've said long ago that it's easiest to kill the enemy with one blow, but you still have to talk about things here, it's a waste of time!"

Xiao Lie, who had a broken arm, chopped off the head of a martial artist of the four realms with a single knife. His face was full of hostility. He had long been quite dissatisfied with Prime Minister Fang Lun. At this moment, he finally found a chance to mock him, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. .

"Fool!"

Fang Lun glanced at Xiao Lie indifferently, but he didn't say the words, but that look almost caused the Generalissimo of Zhen Guo to explode directly, but fortunately, the eyes of Ning Taiping, the king next to him, shocked him.

In fact, Ning Taiping still values ​​Fang Lun more. Sometimes being brave will not maximize his benefits. If he can recruit these Xuanyang generals, that will be the greatest result.

After all, Ning Taiping is very ambitious. He doesn't just want to conquer these small neighboring countries. His ultimate goal is to establish the ninth dynasty in the Qingxuan world.

With such ambitions, Ning Taiping alone is definitely not enough.

Therefore, he needs more helpers. If he conquers a country, he will kill all the civil servants and generals of the other party. What's the point?
For Yan Zhaowen, Ning Taiping still valued him a lot, and the other party had a family feud with Lu Mingyang, the current ruler of Xuanyang Kingdom, so in his opinion, recruiting the other party should be an extremely simple matter.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple matter met such a stubborn person as Yan Zhaowen.

It is obvious that Lu Mingyang is your enemy who exterminates the clan, why do you still stick to Wucheng for him?

"In that case, then...kill it!"

Seeing the decisive look in Yan Zhaowen's eyes, Ning Taiping suddenly lost his patience. Hearing his calm voice, Xiao Lie who was beside him could not wait to rush out.

One is the Grand Marshal of Jinfeng Township who has completed the five realms, and the other is the city lord of Xiawu City who has just entered the five realms. Even if Xiao Lie loses an arm and his strength declines, Yan Zhaowen is by no means able to compete.

chap!
After Yan Zhaowen managed to block more than a dozen moves, he was finally chopped off by Xiao Lie. As for the soldiers beside him, naturally there was not a single one left, and all of them went to heaven.

"Your Majesty, Xiawu City is broken, and the next few cities will be broken soon!"

Fang Lun looked disdainfully at Yan Zhaowen, who didn't know how to praise him. Through the south gate of Xiawu City, he seemed to be able to see the Xuanyang cities thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but feel a little high-spirited.

"It's easy to put it bluntly. If the guards of those cities are all brave men like Yan Zhaowen, how many lives will I, Jinfeng, need to fill?"

Ning Taiping's complexion was not very good, although this time he captured Xiawu City, but the loss of nearly [-] Jinfeng soldiers made him heartbroken.

He couldn't figure out why Xuanyang Kingdom, which had just cleared the civil strife, still had such a strong resistance?
Shouldn't they all flee when they saw the Jinfeng army coming, or surrendered in Kaesong?

In fact, the previous five cities did not cause Jinfeng Country to lose any troops, but Ning Taiping didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all after defeating a few empty cities.

This is an extremely contradictory mentality. He is not happy to take down a city without spending a single soldier. The loss of a strong city is too great, and he is also uncomfortable.

"Hey, didn't our prime minister say that he wanted to take meritorious deeds into account? This so-called meritorious service, I haven't seen it yet!"

Xiao Lie at the side heard that His Majesty's tone was a bit unkind, and at this moment he suddenly remembered something. After the words in his mouth, it was obvious that Fang Lun's face changed slightly, which made him feel much refreshed.

And at this moment, Ning Taiping's gaze turned to Fang Lun for the first time, obviously remembering the original promise.

It's been so long, isn't there a result yet?
