Above the towering city walls of Shengjing City.

Wang Gan looked coldly at Murong Shi and his army under the city.

"Elder Du, are you sure?"

Wang Gan looked at the thin-faced gray-robed old man beside him, and asked with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"Old man, do your best."

This old man Du also didn't pack a ticket.

Du Xuanyong, now the first worshiper in the worship hall.

A master of the seventh level of the True Yuan Realm, he is also the strongest master with cultivation that Chu Yuanqi can mobilize.

Now Murong Shi is besieging Shengjing.

Assassination of Murong Shi is naturally the best and most direct way.

But both Chu Yuanqi and Wang Qian understood that King Yunlan dared to let Murong Shi bring 50,000 troops to surprise Shengjing.

It is inevitable that a master will be arranged by Murong Shi's side.

Assassination is not that easy.

……

At the same time, on the battlefield of Chizhou, thousands of miles away.

Song Ji saw the news of the attack on Shengjing City in his hand, and he felt his heart beat faster and his hands and feet were cold.

"General, why don't we withdraw, saving Shengjingcheng and His Majesty is the most important thing for today's plan!"

Song Ji's lieutenant said with a worried look.

"Withdraw? How can it be so easy to withdraw?"

Song Ji didn't understand why it was the most important thing to solve the siege of Shengjing at this time.

But at this moment, he has been dragged to the battlefield of Chizhou by King Yunlan. How easy is it to get out?

This is an army of 700,000 people. When the army is completely spread out, withdrawing rashly is no different from courting death.

Throughout the history of China, Fu Jian in the battle of Feishui, Cao Cao in the battle of Chibi, and Wang Mang in the battle of Kunyang.

That battle was not a million-dollar battle, but it was a complete defeat in the end.

The larger the army, the more the ability of the commander will be tested. Once there is chaos, it will die.

If the evacuation is not good, it will become a defeat. At that time, let alone the siege of Shengjing, all the 700,000 troops will be buried.

And now what Song Ji can't understand the most is...

How could you, Murong Shi, be able to destroy the 70,000 forbidden troops in one fell swoop?

"Then why don't we send a part of the army to rescue?"

The lieutenant also knew that it was not realistic to evacuate at this time.

But you can't really ignore Shengjing's situation, can you?

"It's easier said than done? Since King Yunlan dares to let Murong Shi lead 50,000 people to attack Shengjing, these 50,000 people are probably the most elite soldiers under his command. If you want to relieve the siege without 100,000 banned troops, I'm afraid they are not opponents, and we don't do it now. It is said that the mobilization of 100,000 banned troops is to gather 100,000 local troops, and the front line will inevitably be affected, resulting in flaws, if this is caught by King Yunlan, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Therefore, Song Ji was also an ant on a hot pot at the moment. Although he was rushing around in circles, there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, a light flashed in Song Ji's mind.

It seemed that he had come up with a solution, and said to the lieutenant: "Come on, you can go to General Zhao Kuo's barracks with me."

........

Time passed day by day.

Since that day, Murong Shi has launched several sieges against Shengjing City every day.

The days of siege battles put a lot of pressure on the soldiers defending the city.

Wang Gan also tried to go out of the city to fight back.

But this time Murong Shi was leading the most elite Lieyang Army under King Yunlan.

Just relying on the combat power of the Wangcheng Guards is simply a touch away. As for the forbidden army, although it is stronger, after all, in addition to burning the 70,000 forbidden army to death, the remaining 30,000 forbidden army were also injured, and their condition is not good. .

After several tentative encounters, he found that the losses were heavy, and Wang Gan could only give up the idea of ​​counterattack.

At the moment, all they can do is hold on tight.

Although there are still King Qin's troops coming from all over the place, it should be known that most of the elite troops in these places have been dispatched by Song Ji to the Chizhou battlefield.

All that can come at this time are some scattered troops with weak combat effectiveness.

In the face of Murong Shi's astonishingly powerful Lieyang Army, it was simply a useless gift.

But now Song Ji is restrained and unable to return to help.

At this time, the food reserves in Shengjing City were simply not enough to support Song Ji's defeat of King Yunlan's army before returning to help.

At this moment, Shengjing City has been enveloped by an atmosphere of despair.

........

The night is getting darker.

Outside the city of Shengjing, not far from Murong Shi's camp.

A figure in gray robe appeared, it was the first master of Dasheng worship hall - Du Xuanyong.

The next moment, Du Xuanyong appeared in Murong Shi's camp.

With his cultivation, he would not be discovered by these ordinary patrolling soldiers.

At the same time, in Murong Shi's tent.

Murong Shi, who has always been known as a mad dog, is now sitting alone in front of a piece of tea, drinking tea quietly.

The picture is extremely discordant.

"Elder Du, since you're here, why don't you come in for a drink?"

At this moment, Murong Shi suddenly muttered to himself, but Du Xuanyong, who was waiting in ambush outside the camp, suddenly felt a chill behind his back.

At this moment, a tyrannical palm attacked Du Xuanyong from behind Du Xuanyong.

Du Xuanyong was startled in his heart, with a dignified expression on his face, he noticed in advance that turning around was to shoot a palm against the attacking palm.

The two palms collided in the air, and the result was!

No distinction!

At this time, Du Xuanyong's heart was already set off by a storm.

How did Murong Shi know that he would come to assassinate him?

He was betrayed!

Under the shock, Du Xuanyong already understood that this assassination was a trap against him.

At this point, Du Xuanyong has no reservations at this time, and his cultivation at the seventh level of true essence is fully open, trying to rush out of this camp.

But how could Murong Shi, who was already prepared, let Du Xuanyong leave so easily?

Dozens of arrows followed, and Du Xuanyong's heart skipped a beat, he actually let the arrows pierce his back without turning back.

……

Under the city of Shengjing.

When Wang Gan saw Du Xuanyong rushing from the city, he hurriedly asked other worshipers from the real Yuan realm to follow him.

When Du Xuanyong was rescued, Wang Gan saw that Du Xuanyong was dripping blood with more than a dozen arrows stuck behind his back, and there was a trace of unbearableness in his eyes.

But still Du Xuanyong's cultivation base is high enough, these arrows are nothing more than skin injuries to him.

"General Wang, this is a trap, there are traitors in this city!"

After Du Xuanyong said this, he was taken away by several imperial physicians.

Indeed, from the time when the forbidden army he led was ambushed, and now Du Xuanyong's assassination was ambushed, it is clear that there is King Yunlan's inner response in this Shengjing city!

"Pass my order to take down all those who knew about the mission of Mr. Du's assassination!"

……

In the palace hall, Chu Yuanqi also got the news that the assassination failed.

"Yao'er, bring me a blank imperial edict."

Chu Yuanqi's eyes were firm, obviously he had made up his mind.

……

a few days later

Southern Border, in Kaiyang City.

Liu Yan looked at the scroll of imperial decrees on the desk, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Chu Yuanqi, are you really in a panic?

Since that's the case, I really want to give you a face.
