The best ring

"Report..."

Just when Sun Zhongcai was excited, another messenger came.

"What's the matter?" Sun Zhongcai asked with a relaxed look.

"General, there were several conflicts in the city today, resulting in 15 casualties." The messenger replied.

Sun Zhongcai's face changed and became gloomy in an instant.

This was not the first time he heard such news.

Ever since Qi Feng ordered the people in the city to rush to the front when Peng Chuan's army attacked the city, especially the old, weak, women and children, the conflicts in the city have never stopped, and there is a trend of intensifying. The people in the city use all kinds of things to clash with the defenders. Although each time they were successfully suppressed, it also caused great pressure on the defenders in the city, especially recently, the casualties of the defenders have increased, and the number of conflicts has increased, and the pressure has increased.

Qi Feng didn't care about this kind of thing. He only cared whether Pengchuan's people had entered the city. As for other things, he didn't care at all.

But Qi Feng didn't care, but Sun Zhongcai, as the commander-in-chief, couldn't help but care. The current situation in the city has already affected their defense of the city. If things continue to develop like this, there will be very bad consequences.

Therefore, Sun Zhongcai has been busy with the people in the city recently.

However, now it's good, the reinforcements are coming, and the attack and defense of Linshui City is about to end. When they win this attack and defense, it's time for him to settle accounts with the people in the city!

"Don't dare to those people first." Sun Zhongcai said: "Now, we don't need them. When the war here is over, see how I deal with them!"

"Yes!"

Sun Zhongcai looked outside the city again. As long as he defeated Pengchuan's army outside the city, all the problems here would be solved, and the people in the city would not be able to make trouble at all.

Because of the arrival of the Yangyu Pass garrison, both sides of Linshui City fell silent at the same time. They were all waiting for the arrival of the Yangyu Pass army, and then, they would give the other side a fatal blow!

On the other side, after the sky gradually darkened, a eunuch from the Tianji Kingdom’s palace, with Jin Zheyun’s oral order, went to the temporary stationing place of Wu Fan, Zhao Qi and others.

"I know, you go back first." Zhao Qi replied lightly after the eunuch read out the oral order.

"Yes, old slave, take your leave."

Zhao Qi nodded.

The content of Jin Zheyun’s oral order was also very simple, that is, a welcoming banquet was held in the palace at night, inviting Zhao Qi to attend the banquet. In addition to inviting Zhao Qi, the main general of the wedding team was also invited to go.

Zhao Qi was not surprised by this invitation. This was expected. She now represents Yanfeng Kingdom. Although Yanfeng Kingdom has been declining in recent years, it is still one of the four superpowers. The strength is still there, and the treatment it should have should also be received. Jin Zheyun should not be too neglectful.

After the eunuch left, Zhao Qi called Shao Haogang and said, "General Shao, come with me to the banquet tonight."

"Yes, Princess." Shao Haogang replied.

When it was completely dark, Zhao Qi led Xiaoqing and Shao Haogang to the palace. The road was naturally smooth, and soon after the three entered the palace, they ran into Du Dezhong who also came to the banquet.

This was a dinner to welcome the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom. It was impossible for Jin Zheyun to be the only one attending the banquet. In fact, there were many ministers from Tianji Kingdom attending the banquet tonight. Most of the important ministers in the imperial capital would come to attend, and Du Dezhong, who had just been promoted, was naturally qualified to attend the banquet. What's more, he was the envoy to welcome the bride, so he should come.

However, Du Dezhong saw that only three people from Zhao Qi came, and Wu Fan was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked, "Your Highness, where is General Wu?"

"Wu Fan?" Zhao Qi looked at Du Dezhong and said, "You didn't invite Wu Fan, he went out."

"Got out?" Du Dezhong was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't His Majesty invite you and the envoys to the wedding? Shouldn't General Wu come to the banquet tonight? Why did he go out? Where did he go? Your Highness, please have someone call him."

Du Dezhong knew very well that Jin Zheyun was also interested in Wu Fan. The reason why he invited Wu Fan to the welcoming banquet tonight was to see Wu Fan up close and inspect Wu Fan.

But who knew that Wu Fan didn't come, which surprised Du Dezhong and made him a little worried. After all, Jin Zheyun had already asked to see Wu Fan, but Wu Fan didn't come. This was against the order. Although Wu Fan was not from their Tianji country, his actions would definitely cause Jin Zheyun's dissatisfaction.

"Why did you ask Wu Fan to come?" Zhao Qi asked, "Didn't your Majesty invite me and the envoys? Didn't General Shao come?"

"General Shao?" Du Dezhong looked at Shao Haogang in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that the envoy is not General Wu, but General Shao?"

"Yes." Zhao Qi nodded and said, "We never said that Wu Fan was the envoy, right? You made a mistake. General Shao is the envoy this time. As long as Wu Fan is here, he is just an ordinary general of our Yanfeng country and is under the jurisdiction of General Shao."

Zhao Qi knew very well that Wu Fan was no longer here and would definitely not come to the palace. At this time, she would not exaggerate Wu Fan's status. Moreover, she did not lie. In her father's decree, Wu Fan was indeed not mentioned, and the envoy to the bride was indeed Shao Haogang.

"This... this..." Du Dezhong was speechless for a moment.

Along the way, he had always thought that Wu Fan was the envoy to the bride, because the entire Yanfeng country's team respected Wu Fan's orders, and even Zhao Qi obeyed Wu Fan's orders. As for Shao Haogang, he was either recovering from his injuries or on the way to recover from his injuries. Along the way, he also accepted Wu Fan's arrangements, which made Du Dezhong think that Shao Haogang was a general under Wu Fan, and Wu Fan was the real envoy to the bride.

But now it seems that he was wrong. Wu Fan was not the envoy to the bride, but Shao Haogang, who had been recovering from his injuries, was!

This is trouble!

Du Dezhong felt bitter in his heart. He knew very well that the person Jin Zheyun wanted to see was Wu Fan, not Shao Haogang. However, because of his misunderstanding, Jin Zheyun also had a wrong perception. In Jin Zheyun's imperial edict, Wu Fan was not mentioned. At this time, Du Dezhong had no reason to ask Zhao Qi to call Wu Fan.

Unless Jin Zheyun issued another imperial edict.

"General Du, why are you still standing there? Let's go together." Zhao Qi looked at Du Dezhong and said.

Du Dezhong nodded with a bitter face.
