Chapter 383 Capture Zhao Feng
Duanmuyao immediately sent someone to inform Huo Xun that Duanmuhao had agreed to withdraw troops.

Huo Xun read the letter after receiving it, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Master once said that those who are upright will be more helpful than those who are unjust, and Zhao Feng and his son are already like grasshoppers after autumn. gone."

"So, Duanmuhao agreed to the prince's request?"

Xiao Ruan was studying the ink, and saw that he had a happy face, so she stopped her movements unconsciously, but when she saw Huo Xun nodding at her, surprise burst out of her eyes.

"Unexpectedly, you and your elder brother took turns negotiating with Duan Muhao, but you didn't gain their trust. In the end, it was the princess who persuaded Duan Muhao. It seems that the two brothers and sisters really have a deep relationship."

Huo Xun glanced at Xiao Ruan and said nothing to her statement, but his eyes were full of pity.

Standing up and grabbing Xiao Ruan's hand, Huo Xun said affectionately: "Now that the situation in Beijiang has been settled, the crown prince will be able to concentrate on dealing with Zhao Yan, and you have helped me convince Qin Zichuan, and I will do the rest. Well, you are weak, so take a good rest these days."

"I really want to have a good rest, but... Yuan'er hasn't returned for a day, and I can't help but settle down even if I want to settle down!"

Xiao Ruan knew that Huo Xun was worried about him, but when he thought of the child he had only met once, all the joy on his face turned into worry.

"Master, where do you think Zhao Yan can transfer Yuan'er? Could it be in the cloud?"

Huo Xun's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure: "The spy said that Zhao Yan was with the army, so it's unlikely that he's in the cloud."

"But what if?"

Xiao Ruan did not give up: "The person Zhao Yan hates the most is me. Since he knows we are all in the cloud, why would he take Yuan'er away? Doesn't he find it troublesome?"

Huo Xun really wanted to say that Zhao Yan wouldn't find it troublesome, but he couldn't get out of his mouth.

Zhao Yan led his troops northward and went straight to the capital. The prince was worried that the other party would threaten him with his children, so he ordered him to capture Yunzhong.

Furthermore, the spies had come to report that Zhao Yan had already taken the child away when he left Mengcheng, so how could he send him back to Mengcheng?

Facing Xiao Ruan's expectant eyes, Huo Xun hesitated for a long time, finally couldn't bear Xiao Ruan's disappointment and nodded slightly: "There are several reasons for what you said, when we capture Zhao Feng, maybe we can ask Yuaner trace."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan slowly let go of her anxious heart, and put all her expectations on Zhao Feng for the time being.

Without the fetters of Bei Jiang, Huo Xun soon led the assembled team to officially march towards Mengcheng.

Perhaps it was because of Qin Zichuan's secret assistance that the journey was extremely smooth, but within half a month, Huo Xun's army had already attacked outside the gate of Mengcheng.

In the scorching sun, the silver armor on Huo Xun's body shone brightly.He was wearing a red tassel on his head, a red robe, a tall horse, and tens of thousands of heroic troops behind him. From a distance, he looked majestic, like a sharp arrow out of its scabbard.

At the same time, on the opposite tower, Zhao Feng had a stern expression, and a pair of stern eyes exuded an ice-like cold light.

Huo Xun stared at a black spot on the tower, suddenly raised his whip, went straight to the middle of the two formations, and shouted loudly: "The traitor Zhao Feng, why don't you open the door and surrender!"

"Little Huo Xun, you are overthinking yourself, and dare to attack me Yunzhong. Today I will tell you to see how powerful I am, Yunzhong Erlang!"

The one who responded to Huo Xun's call was a veteran general in black general robe.

Huo Xun narrowed his eyes, and saw that the other person's temples were already white, and he seemed to be in a state of dragon bell, so he immediately let out a sneer, and raised his spear to meet him.

The ear-piercing sound of weapons clashing resounded in the duel field outside the city gate, and the soldiers of both armies stared closely at their respective commanders, occasionally beating drums to cheer for them.

In an instant, two figures, one red and one black, were fighting together on the field.

In front of Huo Xun's army, a petite soldier stared quietly at the two people on the field, his eyes did not dare to stagger for fear of missing a scene.

This person is Xiao Ruan.

Xiao Ruan's two hands in the sleeves were tightly squeezed together, her heart was extremely worried, but her eyes were full of trust.

In the past half a month, she followed Huo Xun all the way to Mengcheng, although she returned to this old place, but this time her mood was only anticipation.

As long as Mengcheng is taken, Yunzhong will be completely occupied by them, and Zhao Yan will also be completely rescued. This battle has almost become the key to victory.

On the other side of the tower, Zhao Feng looked stern, his eyes glued tightly to the two people in the middle, and the furrow between his brows became deeper and deeper.

At this time, the soldier who wanted to pester Huo Xun was a loyal veteran under him.

Huo Xun's army has been rumored to be miraculous in Yunzhong, although he couldn't understand how the iron barrel-like Yunzhong could be conquered by him so quickly.But he is very clear that as long as Mengcheng is guarded, the three provinces in the cloud are actually still in his hands.

When the timing is right, Huo Xun will still be strangled to death by him like a humble ant.

At this moment, the two people fighting together in the arena suddenly separated. The man in black robe raised his whip and fled quickly, while Huo Xun behind him suddenly threw a spear in his hand.

Under the sunlight, the spear with bright red tassels refracted a dazzling light in mid-air, and shot forward without any surprise.

In an instant, the world was silent, there was only a pop, the spear pierced into the flesh, and the black-robed general only had time to let out a scream before he leaned over from his horse and fell to the ground.

"General Huo! General Huo!"

The cheers of the soldiers behind him resounded like thunder, and the big stone that Xiao Ruan held in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Huo Xun made a good start and has aroused the fighting spirit of all the soldiers. It seems that the capture of Mengcheng today is a foregone conclusion.

"General be careful!"

A cyan figure flashed in the corner of his eyes, Xiao Ruan's heart trembled, he hurriedly looked at Huo Xun, and suddenly found that the people on the tower in the distance suddenly shot a sharp arrow and hit Huo Xun directly.

And Huo Xun didn't notice it!
Feeling flustered, Xiao Ruan raised her foot and was about to rush over. Huo Xun seemed to hear a strange noise behind him, turned his horse's head hastily, and managed to avoid the sharp arrow in the end!
"Brothers, go!"

Xia Junwang carried out such a blatant conspiracy, and all the soldiers under Huo Xun were filled with righteous indignation.I don't know who yelled loudly, and all the soldiers responded immediately, and all rushed towards the gate of the city with their weapons in hand.

"Sanggong! How are you!"

Li Yan protected Huo Xun and returned to Xiao Ruan's side, she immediately stepped forward nervously to check Huo Xun's body, but seeing that he was indeed not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ruan'er don't need to worry, as my husband, I am an undefeated general on the battlefield, and no one who can defeat me may not be born yet!"

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared without a trace because of Huo Xun's words, but there was another sound of cursing and shouting in the distance.

Xiao Ruan and Huo Xun looked at each other, looked into the distance, and then noticed that Zhao Feng suddenly ordered to retreat, and all the soldiers retreated into the city.And as the tall gate of Mengcheng was closed, all the soldiers chasing up by Huo Xun were isolated from the gate.
"Damn it, this Duke Xia didn't play according to the rules at all!"

Everyone never expected that Zhao Feng would be so shameless. They looked angrily at the tower, and Zhao Feng was no longer there.

"General! What are we going to do now! Are we going to prepare ladders and other things to forcibly attack the city?"

Facing the expectant eyes of everyone, Huo Xun frowned and looked at the closed city gate in the distance, was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"The reason why Zhao Feng suddenly retreated must be because he didn't expect his generals to fail. We are not in a hurry for the time being, and we can just set up camp here."

Everyone heard the words and immediately went down to prepare according to the instructions, but Xiao Ruan heard something strange from his mouth, and slowly turned his gaze to the city gate.

"Qin Zichuan, the rest is up to you."

There was a flash of concentration in the eyes, Xiao Ruan slowly narrowed his eyes, and said something secretly in his heart.

It was night, and the whole of Mengcheng was extremely quiet, and there was no more the rotten scene of feasting and feasting at night in the past.

In the living room of Prince Xiajun's Mansion, the air was almost condensed into ice. After Zhao Feng's cold eyes looked back and forth at everyone, he suddenly sat down with an unpredictable expression.

"Have you reported the situation in Yunzhong to His Highness Duke Huai?"

Hearing the voice, the man at the bottom hastily stood up and respectfully said: "Go back to your lord, this subordinate already ordered someone to spread the news of the situation in Yunzhong as early as yesterday, and Duke Huai will be able to get the news within three days! "

"Okay, no matter what, no matter what price you pay, before Duke Huai arrives at the capital, Mengcheng must not be allowed to fall!"

Zhao Feng's voice was dignified, but the other officials in the room looked at each other. One of them couldn't sit still, and said cautiously: "My lord, we really should strictly guard Mengcheng, but the current situation... I'm afraid..."

As soon as the man's voice fell, he felt a cold gaze on his body.Facing Zhao Feng's eyes that were about to eat him, the man's heart froze, and he had no choice but to swallow the words in his mouth.

"This king once again warns you that now is the perfect time for us, Duke Huai, to win the throne. If you miss it, you will lose the chance to be crowned king forever. Don't blame this king for not reminding you if you will regret it when the time comes!"

Zhao Feng's half-closed eyes were like a nail nailed straight into that person's body.For a moment, everyone in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to raise any objections.

"General! It's not good, it's not good! Our palace is surrounded by Huo Xun's army!"

During the silence, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a guard ran in from outside in panic. Everyone was astonished when they heard this.
