The retreat is blocked

"Stop praising me, Vice President Feng. I was really nervous just now."

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly.

He was really gambling with his life just now.

Fortunately, he won the bet, and that was enough.

Timur Mutu left, and Jiumo Zhiyan also left.

There were only about 300,000 remaining remnants of the Black Crow Army, and they all fled.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Ling Xiao was actually quite sorry. If he could kill Mutu or Jiumo Zhiyan, it would be a perfect victory.

It's a pity that although the resourcefulness has been exhausted, the role of the strong is still too great.

"Qin Huo, please pass the order. Don't worry about the corpses outside. Return to Beimo City immediately and rebuild the defenses. There are still 300,000 people on the other side, so they may not turn around and come back again."

"Follow the order!"

Although there are many trophies on the battlefield, Ling Xiao cannot waste time picking them up. Striving for stability in everything is still his strategy.

Although many houses were blown up in Beimo City, the overall structure is still there, so there should be no problem in arranging it as a defensive fortress.

However, when they arrived at Beimo City, they found that the city gate was closed, and there was an unexpected person standing on the city tower.

"Can't you think of it, Ling Xiao? We will meet here again."

"Jia Yun!"

Ling Xiao's brows furrowed. Standing on the top of the city was none other than Jia Yun from the Zhengqi Alliance.

Because he was busy with the war, Ling Xiao didn't know where Jia Yun, Ji Changran, and Wan Qiufeng had gone.

And now, they are all standing on the tower.

Of course, it's not just them, there is also a stranger, wearing armor. Judging from the style and color of the armor, he should be of similar status to Ji Ning. He is also a general and a city lord.

"General Jia, since you are here to support us, why don't you close the city gate tightly and let us in quickly? The Black Crow Army has already retreated."

Li Ruguang obviously knew the people on the city wall and shouted loudly.

"Just because you can repel more than one million Black Crow Army? Why don't I believe it so much, unless you can bring the heads of Jiumo Zhiyan or Timur Mutu?"

The general named Jia said with a sneer.

"Is it an order from the imperial court?"

Ling Xiao suddenly asked.

"Hahahaha, you are smart, but it's a pity that smart people often don't live long! Ling Xiao, you colluded with the Black Crow Army, maimed the Divine Phoenix soldiers, and even injured General Sikong, and you actually tried to sneak into the city. It's such a wishful thinking!

"

Jia Yun laughed loudly.

Li Ruguang wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Ling Xiao: "There is no need to argue with them. Seeing that they are now waiting in full formation, you can tell that they have been here for more than an hour. They watched us fight with the Black Crow Army and ignored us. Now

And they bite back, these guys are not reinforcements, they are here to kill us, they want our lives!"

"If you want to live, you can hand over Ji Ning and Ling Xiao, and the rest of them will be spared death and will only be sent as slaves."

General Jia said calmly, as if he didn't treat the following people as human beings at all, and a casual sentence could determine the lives of countless people.

"Fuck your mother, Governor Ling planned to defeat the Black Crow Army and shock the Black Crow Empire. Not only is he not guilty, but he is actually meritorious. How could you just arrest him?"

Zhang Yufei cursed.

"General Jia, why not let the people enter the city, and I will lead the army to pursue the Black Crow Army."

Ling Xiao said.

"No, who knows if there are any spies of yours among those mud legs? If you don't get out, we will attack. Archers, prepare!"

General Jia looked at the people below with nothing but contempt on his face.

"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"

Seeing that this guy really wanted to take action, Ling Xiao was shocked and shouted hurriedly.

But even so it was too late.

On top of the city tower, arrows rained down.

The soldiers who were not killed by the Black Crow Army died tragically at the hands of their own people.

Under the rain of arrows, the casualties among the people were extremely serious.

It's just that they trust people too much, but they didn't expect that these people would actually dare to take action against one of their own.

"Jia Yun! Wan Qiufeng! Ji Changran! And all of you. If I, Ling Xiao, don't die, I will kill you beasts!"

After losing nearly two thousand men, the army finally left the archers' range.

"Give me the order, and station yourself at Beimoguan first. Let's wait until General Ji Ning wakes up and then we'll see what we do."

Ling Xiao can't take action against General Jia yet, because once the war breaks out, the name of the rebellion will be determined.

This decision must be made by Ji Ning.

Fortunately, Ji Ning's detoxification process went very smoothly, and he should be able to wake up soon. There is no shortage of food or anything else for the time being, so there is no need to worry, at least it will not be a problem to stay in Beimoguan for a month.

One day later, the assassination came and the Black Crow Army stopped their retreat and stationed themselves sixty miles away from Beimo City.

The current number is about 350,000, but the whereabouts of Jiumo Zhiyan are unknown, and Mutu has sent people out to look for them.

"This is an opportunity!"

Ling Xiao stood up and looked into the distance.

The only reason General Jia didn't let them enter the city was because they had no evidence to prove that they had defeated the Black Crow Army.

But what if there is Jiumo Zhiyan’s head?

Ling Xiao called Qin Huo, Zhuge Ming, Li Ruguang, Zhang Yufei, Ji Mingkong and others and told him: "After I leave, this place will be temporarily ruled by Qin Huo, waiting for the general to wake up. Don't they want Jiumo Zhiyan's head?"

, I’m going to get it back for them now to see what else they can fart with!”

"I don't agree, it's too dangerous!"

Ji Mingkong was the first to stand up and object.

The others also wanted to object, but were interrupted by Ling Xiao: "I am not discussing with you, but giving an order. Don't ask me to repeat it a second time. Although it is dangerous to go here, I have my own opinion. You must do it."

The only thing is to guard the general and these people!"

After giving the order, Ling Xiao took out all the food in the world of mountains and rivers, and then left quietly alone.

Because he directly activated the Shadow Armor and Shadow Steps, no one in Beimo City knew about his departure.

Ling Xiao is confident that although his strength is not as good as Timur Mutu, he will never lose to Timur Mutu in finding someone.

One day later, his soul power searched for the whereabouts of Jiumo Zhiyan.

A hundred miles away, Jiumo Zhiyan was resting there under the protection of nearly 300 personal guards.

Looking at them like this, they should be returning directly to the Black Crow Empire.

But Timur Mutuze was looking in the wrong direction completely.

Chance!

Ling Xiao seized the time to catch up and used Shadow Step to the extreme. Finally, an hour later, he saw Jiumo Zhiyan who was about to get up and leave.

The Shadow Armor has not been removed, and the Shadow Steps have not been removed.

Because Ling Xiao knew that his cultivation was not as good as Jiumo Zhiyan, unless it was a sneak attack, it would be impossible to defeat the opponent.

However, when the shadow cone was still more than ten meters away from Jiumo Zhiyan, Jiumo Zhiyan suddenly threw the tea cup in his hand.

The wine glass exploded in the air and turned into debris, which also blocked the attack of the shadow cone.
Chapter completed!
