The arrow at the head of the simple city was like rain. Lu Ji only blocked it for a while, and the spirit armor on his shoulder was broken, and a carved plume deeply pierced into the gap of his shoulder blade.

Lu Jitong cried out. He dared not delay any more. He turned his horse's head, fled in a hurry and was defeated back to the array.

When he saw Zhong Tian, Lu Ji got off his horse, covered the arrow wound on his shoulder with one hand, and cried out in a hurry: "king, Qiu Yue, the city Lord of Jiancheng, was so bold that he took refuge in the Tianyuan army and refused our army to enter the city!"

"The thief deserves to die!" Zhong Tian is not blind. He saw Jiancheng's arrow shooting at Lu guitar just now. He gritted his teeth and cursed. He said to matchless: "matchless general, there are not many troops in Jiancheng. We should attack the city in one go!"

Zhan Wushuang stared at the city ahead and didn't speak for a long time. It can be seen that there are not many troops in the fortress, but the city defense is very perfect. Not only the wall is high, but also there is a wide moat outside. At present, our soldiers are tired and there are no large siege weapons in the army. Even if we can invade the fortress, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties and a lot of time will be delayed.

After thinking about it, he looked at Shang Zhong Tian and said faintly, "your minister is really an eye opener for me!"

This sentence made Zhong Tian blush with shame, and the surrounding Peng ministers and Peng generals dared to be angry and dare not speak.

No matter what Zhong Tian and others thought, Zhan Wushuang immediately ordered: "bypass the simple city and continue to retreat south!"

Fearing to increase their own losses and the pursuit of the Tianyuan army in the rear, Zhan Wushuang didn't take a knife and a gun at Jiancheng and chose to go around the city directly. Originally, people were going to enter the simple city to have a good rest. They didn't think they had to continue to flee, and they didn't even have time to eat a meal.

After crossing the simple city, after completing the inspection tour in the army, the invincible caught up with the invincible, and whispered, "brother, this is not the way to go on. The soldiers have been fighting hard for two days and one night, and they haven't eaten a mouthful of food. If you run on, you'll be tired to death!"

Without waiting for Zhan Wushuang to speak, Zhong Tian on one side spat and said, "why don't we stop and have a rest? Now it's getting dark, and the Tianyuan army must not dare to catch up."

"En..." Zhan matchless pondered for a moment and felt that what Zhan matchless and Zhong Tian said was right. Now, even he is tired, thirsty and hungry, and the soldiers below can imagine. He nodded and asked Zhong Tian, "where is the front?" He is far less familiar with the terrain of Fengguo than Zhong Tian.

"If you think about it, you'll find the Textile City three hundred miles ahead. If you pass the Textile City, you'll find the BAGUAN pass. As long as you get to the BAGUAN pass, we can retreat to the territory of Mozambique at any time..."

Before Zhong Tian finished, Zhan Wushuang waved impatiently and said, "I'm asking if there's any hiding place in front of you, so we can have a rest."

"This..." Zhong Tian frowned. He didn't know what terrain was ahead. Zhong Tian called back a Peng general who was familiar with the terrain and asked, "is there a place for our army to rest ahead?"

The Peng thought for a moment and said, "ten miles ahead, there is a forest beside the official road. Although it is small, it is enough to accommodate our army."

Zhan Wushuang gave a cry, turned his eyes, raised his head and said, "OK! Our army will go to the forest to have a rest."

That Peng general was right. After walking more than ten miles forward, there was a dark forest land under the official road. At this time, it was dark and people couldn't see how big the forest land was. When they came closer, they felt that the forest was not small. Zhan Wushuang thought for a while and said, "our army all went into the forest to rest! If the enemy dare not come, it's all right. If they dare to chase up, our army can use this forest land to ambush each other!"

Zhan Wushuang is good at unifying troops and making good use of the surrounding environment. The forest is moderate in size and close to the official road. In addition, the dark sky tonight is a good cover for ambushes.

After hearing this, Zhan Wudi smiled, nodded again and again, and replied, "in the opinion of big brother!"

Under the command of Zhan Wushuang, Ning Jun went into the woods and laid an ambush while resting.

On the other side, the Tianyuan army led by Tang Yin arrived in Jiancheng. Qiu Yue, the leader of the simplified City, stood on the tower and looked up. Although it was dark, there were many torches in the Tianyuan army. One hand illuminated the whole army as bright as day. Looking from a distance, it looked like a huge fire dragon winding in the dark night.

Looking forward, there are light cavalry of the same color in front of the Tianyuan army. The soldiers' armor is uniform and neat. They have black helmets and black armor, red tassels on their heads, and step down on the black horses. Each one is majestic and has high morale. Looking back, there are infantry of the same color. The number of armor is the same as that of cavalry. They are boundless and powerful, swallowing the world.

After reading it, Qiu Yue couldn't help grinning secretly. Fortunately, she listened to the advice of her subordinates and didn't make an enemy of the Tianyuan army. Otherwise, how can she resist so many Tianyuan armies with her small simple city. He swallowed and spit, hurriedly turned around and ran down the wall, and asked the people to open the cities and welcome the abyss army into the city.

Creak - with the sound of the thorn, the suspension bridge of the simplified city fell, and the city gate slowly opened. The officials and soldiers of the simplified city led by Qiu Yue left the city one after another, and a large group stood outside the gate of the simplified city.

Tang Yin in the Tianyuan army saw clearly and smiled at the generals on the left and right: "Qiu Yue was reasonable and surrendered to our army." As he spoke, he urged the horse to come forward quickly.

Seeing this, Ziying hurried to catch up with Tang Yin. While looking at the situation inside and outside the city, Ziying whispered: "Sir, be careful, there is fraud!"

"Hehe! He dare not borrow his courage." Tang Yin shrugged and smiled confidently.

The crowd looked down at the front of the gate and said, "soon, I'll sit down in front of the gate."

Ah? Qiu Yue, who stood in front of the crowd, took a breath. He had seen Tang Yin before. That time, Tang Yin went to BAGUAN to escort the imperial Princess through Jiancheng, but it was a long time ago, and Tang Yin was just a military commander at that time. Qiu Yue had long forgotten him.

At this time, he stirred his soul to fight a cold war. Before he could speak, he bent his knees and knelt in front of Tang Yin's horse. At the same time, he raised the small box in his hand and said, "sinner Qiu Yue, I've seen Lord Tang!"

Qiu Yue knelt down on her own initiative, and the officials of the simplified city behind her and many soldiers also knelt to the ground one after another, making a sound of Hula.

He claimed to be a sinner and was right. After Zhong Tian usurped the throne, he accepted Zhong Tian as the monarch of Peng state with a tacit attitude. Now Tang Yin has commanded the Tianyuan army and basically recovered the Feng state. Naturally, he can't escape his blame.

Tang Yin looked down at Qiu Yue. This is a typical wall grass, falling on both sides. When Zhong Tian was in power, he was loyal to Zhong Tian. Now that his side is in power, he defected to his own side. Tang Yin despised such a capricious person. If he took his former surname, he would immediately choose to execute Qiu Yue, but now he is much more mature and knows that he should focus on the overall situation. If Qiu Yue is executed now, who will dare to turn against her in the future? There will be trouble in those counties that have returned to the wind country, so even if he is dissatisfied with Qiu Yue, he has to hold back for a while and settle with him after the overall situation is completely stabilized.

After a pause for a few seconds, Tang Yin dismounted, helped Qiu Yue up with a smile and said, "Lord Qiu can repent in time and abandon Zhong Tian. Not only is it right, but he is also a hero of my strong wind. Please get up quickly!"

"Lord Tang..." I don't know whether Qiu Yue was really moved or pretended to be, just squeezed out a few old tears.

Tang Yin scoffed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He waved to the others and said, "everyone get up, too!"

"Thank you, Lord Tang!" Officials and soldiers in Jiancheng thanked one after another and got up.

Tang Yin's eyes fell on the small brocade box held by Qiu Yue and asked, "Lord Qiu, what's this?"

Qiu Yue opened the lid of the small box. There was an official seal inside. He said in a trembling voice: "the lower official knows that his guilt is heavy and cannot be remedied. Therefore, he is willing to hand over the official seal of the city Lord. Please let Lord Tang down."

"Oh!" Tang Yin answered, pushed the box in Qiu Yue's hand back, and said positively, "as I said just now, Lord Qiu can repent in time, only with merit, but without official seal. Lord Qiu should take it back and continue to be the leader of the simplified city. After killing the national thieves, I will report it to the imperial court and reward Lord Qiu."

"Thank you, Lord Tang, for your kindness! Thank you, Lord Tang! You will never forget your great kindness." After hearing Tang Yin's words, Qiu Yue's heart finally fell when she mentioned her voice. He knelt down again and gave Tang Yin a big gift. Tang Yin is a good man. He reaches out to help Qiu Yue up and says, "don't be polite, Lord Qiu."

"Please come into the city to have a rest, please!"

Qiu Yue's excited eyebrows danced, and even her voice trembled violently. He turned sideways and repeatedly let Tang Yin into the city.

Tang Yin was also impolite and walked into the simplified City side by side with Qiu Yue.

Shangguan yuanrang, Yuanwu, yuanbiao and others followed Tang Yin closely and dared not leave for a moment. It seemed that Qiu Yue was very honest and sincere. In fact, who knows what ghost idea he was thinking. In case an ambush or assassin was ambushed in the city and suddenly made trouble for Tang Yin, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Tang Yin didn't care. At least on the surface, he looked relaxed and casual. As he walked into the city, he talked and laughed with Qiu Yue who was with him. He asked, "I heard that the national thief Zhong Tian has bypassed the simple city and ran to the textile city?"

"Yes, my Lord!" Qiu Yue came to her senses this time and said eloquently, "when Zhong Tian arrived at the simplified City, he wanted to let him into the city, but he was already bent on the wind. How can he allow this national thief to enter the city? The lower officer ordered to shoot an arrow on the spot, but it was a pity that Zhong Tian ran fast and didn't hurt him..."

Along the way, Qiu Yue talked endlessly about how he felt toward gale and how he hated Zhong Tian's actions, while Tang Yin always smiled back and didn't interrupt. From the surface alone, it is difficult to see whether he likes or hates Qiu Yue.
