Chapter 157
Late at night, Yan Zidan looked at the dark enemy outside the city in despair a little desperately. Today, I don’t know how many attacks the opponent has repelled, but I can’t remember how long it can last? Two rounds of attacks or one round? He didn’t know in his mind.
He had previously proposed to abandon the city and leave, but the greedy cousin and the head of the affiliated family, Zheng Jingnan, disagreed and reluctant to give up the big city second only to Handan City. As a result, the cousin died in battle, and now even if everyone wants to abandon the city and flee, they can no longer do so. The city gates on all sides are surrounded by enemies with absolutely superior forces.
On the contrary, now, Zheng Jingnan, the head of the Zheng family, proposed to surrender. Pay attention, it is not to abandon the city and flee, but to surrender - to surrender to the Zhao family and the demon clan!
This shameless suggestion was rejected by Yan Zidan without hesitation. But it was obvious that the emotion of failure had already permeated among the soldiers of this side.
What should I do next? Yan Zidan himself was not sure. Originally, he had an endless bright future, but after all, those who could make his mark in the battle for the local list were not mediocre people. In the future, even if he could not become the head of the Yan family, he would probably be able to enter the highest core level of this large marquis family. Now, everything seems so far away from him.
The night was still so deep and dark, and Yan Zidan sat alone on the city wall, a little desolate and confused.
At this moment, several figures quietly reached the wall, and instantly stopped him, making him unable to even speak. He could only stare at the sudden change in horror.
He was controlled by the soul cultivation of the two spiritual refining stages, and the person standing opposite was Zheng Jingnan, the head of the Zheng family!
As a low-ranking marquis, the Zheng family has always been dependent on the Yan family, the marquis clan, so during the war, even if Zheng Jingnan was the head of the family, he had to obey the orders of the head of the Yan family. Now he has brought people to hold Yan Zidan hostage, which is obviously a great rebellion.
Yan Zidan wanted to ask what Zheng Jingnan was going to do, but he couldn't speak. Even his mouth was tightly covered, and his soul power was even tightly limited.
Zheng Jingnan whispered without any emotion: "Yanzidan, I'm sorry for you this time. I have communicated with the generals of the Zhao family outside and promised to use the lives of you and the soul cultivators of the Yan family as a "gift" in exchange for the lives of the remaining soul cultivators of my Zheng family."
"They agreed, and as long as you send you out, I will have a way out of my escape."
"My Zheng family is not like you big clans, and does not have such a deep foundation. It doesn't matter if dozens of soul cultivators die in your Yan family, but my Zheng family... has suffered heavy losses in this war. The remaining twenty soul cultivators are almost half of the foundation of the Zheng family."
"I'm sorry, you're innocent, but I can't do anything about it."
Yan Zidan was furious and his eyes widened. He wanted to roar, saying that it was a shameful betrayal, but he couldn't speak.
Then, Yan Zidan was escorted under the city wall, and he was even more angrily and found that among the people in Zheng Jingnan, there were five soul cultivators from the Yan family!
Zheng Jingnan shook his head and sighed: "Boy, after you and the remaining Yan family soldiers were killed by the Zhao clan, I will go back to report to Yanhou, saying that you have rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. It was after a bloody battle that we had seized a life. Of course, these friends from the Yan family will be the most 'fair' witnesses."
Yan Zidan was almost confused. Not only would he die, but he would also have to bear the infamy of rebellion. If five soul cultivators of the Yan family testify, this would make the Yan family and even the entire dynasty believe it.
At this time, the five soul cultivators in the Yan family said coldly: "Swallow Dan, you have been pointing fingers at our older generation soul cultivators at a young age. We have long disliked you. Don't blame us this time. If you want to blame, you will blame your bad life. Who made you become the supreme commander of this remnant army by chance? Let's go, there is not much time left."
As he said that, several people quietly opened the city gate and walked out quietly with the soldiers of the Zheng family. So not far away, a group of ambushed Zhao family soldiers appeared, waiting to connect with them.
Once these Zhao family troops take over Yan Zidan, they will then sneak into the city along the open city gate and launch a massacre of the Yan family's army left in Jincheng.
Everything seemed to be very smooth, but at this moment, twenty-eight figures appeared in the darkness in the distance. The leader in the middle was Qin Yang, the young commander who had been unstoppable recently!
In fact, Qin Yang had been ambushing here for a long time, and it had already started in the evening. He guessed that the Yan family defenders in Jincheng should be unable to hold on. Logically speaking, the Zhao army and the demon clan outside should also attack strongly at night, not giving the Yan family and Zheng army a chance to breathe. At that time, Qin Yang led the 27 high-ranking soul cultivators in the Hall of Reincarnation and had an opportunity to attack behind the scenes.
In that case, Jincheng was captured by the Zhao family, but the Zhao family had not yet established a stable foothold, so the control of this city would change hands immediately.
But Qin Yang did not expect that the Zhao family's actions in this dark night were not a surprise attack, but a conspiracy.
Next to him, Shen Xuanyi, one of the leaders of the Eighteen Blood Evils, whispered: "Young Master, if you look good, the leader who walked out of the city should be Zheng Hou Zheng Jingnan. This guy quietly left the city in the middle of the night and actually met with the Zhao army. What the hell?"
Another leader Yan Lisong sneered disdainfully: "It's obvious that this is a dirty private transaction. It's probably Zheng Jingnan, who was carrying the head of the Yan family, made a private peace with the Zhao family and the demon clan. Hey, they seemed to be tied up with one person. Did they even tie up the head of the Yan family and gave it to the enemy? These bastards!"
Although neither of the people on the other side were their own, everyone still felt disgusted when they saw this shameless betrayal. Betrayal and betrayal, this is always dirty and shameless.
Qin Yang didn't say anything, looked at the situation over there carefully, and his confused eyes suddenly glared: "Hey, is Yan Zidan? It looks very similar to the one I have fought in the battle for the ground list."
Shen Xuanyi, who was standing by, nodded and said, "It should be. According to the information collected by his subordinates recently, Yan Zidan went to fight with the army this time, and he was a key person trained by the Yan family. The head of the Yan family died in Jincheng a few days ago, so the head of the Yan family may be really this Yan Zidan."
Qin Yang nodded: "Well, although this kid has an average cultivation level, he is still a backbone. If the war begins later, try to save his life."
"Yes!" Shen Xuanyi and Yan Lisong agreed at the same time.
Qin Yang smiled and said, "Zheng Jingnan, a bastard, would definitely not expect that this bastard would be cheaper in the end. This is called the mantis stalking the cicada oriole behind. For a while, no matter whether it is the Zhao family, the demon clan, or the Zheng family, there is no one left except the Swallow Pill! The time is almost done, hurry up!"
As he said that, Qin Yang waved the long sword in his hand and pointed the sword forward.
