Chen Baiqi knew all this clearly, but there was no way to stop it. Now that the matter has progressed, the situation has been decided. Let's see who wins in the end.

Chen Bai covered his soft eyelashes, moved his fingers gently under his wide sleeves, and felt the power gathered at his fingertips gradually curling into a fist.

Her eyes darkened, ready to go.

——

The south gate of Caocheng is wide open, and the ancient and thick ashes of the city wall are silent and solid surrounding it. The wind rustling the grass and grass blows by, and a vast white smoke floats from the sky and the earth.

It was the cold mist blowing from the icy lake not far away, so even though the golden light was shining across the city gate at this moment, it gave people a bone-chilling feeling.

Today's South City Gate is like a black python with its mouth open to devour, its fishy tongue and fangs exposed. The people in the city are like lambs, they can only wait and see cautiously, not daring to face confrontation.

During this period, Feng Chen had secretly released "secret sentries" into the city, which also brought him batch after batch of support. In the early morning, the four battalions stationed in the east, south, west and north of Caocheng were dispatched, except for some

The rest of the personal entourage who stayed with Lord Mengchang were transferred to the south gate, just to form a human wall to resist the oncoming Chu army.

Even though they strengthened the team's strength, Feng Chen, Wei Jian and others only stood guard on one side and did not move rashly for a while.

"Have you ever sent someone into the Beiwai Alley to inform your lord about the situation in the south of the city?" Feng Chen asked a general who came to the rescue urgently.

The general's face tightened, and his tall body seemed to have been crushed by something. After a moment of slowness, he replied with difficulty: "Commander, we sent people to search everywhere in the alleys of Beiwai, but the lord was nowhere to be found."

Feng Xuan, who was originally calm, felt his scalp was numb when he heard this. He was so frightened that he almost fell from his horse to the ground.

Wei Yan hurriedly tightened the reins in his hands, and when he realized what he was doing, he roared at him: "Why don't you go look for me quickly, where is my lord?"

The general lay prone on the ground, his voice full of nervousness and fear under his lowered head: "General, general, military advisor, I am only afraid of my lord... My lord has been trapped by the enemy and fell into the trap.

Lost trace."

The surrounding voices suddenly became quiet, and only the unsteady breath and uneasiness filled the air. It felt as if the sky was about to collapse.

Feng Xuan's face turned blue, and veins were popping up in his hands. At this moment, his words were like being squeezed out from between his teeth: "Who made the move?"

The general buried his head even lower: "...I don't know what will happen."

Feng Xuan's vision seemed to freeze for a moment, and then he slowly looked into the distance. His face was cold, half extremely calm and half extremely defeated: "It must have been done by one of these two parties!"

Wei Yan was so anxious that he looked at Feng Xuan with Tong Ling's big eyes: "Commander, what should I do next? We must rescue our lord as soon as possible!"

Su Cuo Si Tu and Cao Zongbing looked guilty and ugly. They dismounted from their horses and knelt on the ground with clasped fists: "Commander, if you have any instructions, please tell me. Our reckless and wrong faith led to the death of our lord, and even death will not be enough to atone for our sins."

.”

"Even if we were left with blood splattered here on the spot, we wouldn't say a word!"

Feng Chen glanced at the three of them, and waved his hands feeling dazzled and uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and said: "Now is not the time to care about this matter. If the lord is really in their hands, they will definitely use it to contain us. When the time comes, they will definitely

Show your trump card, now...just wait."

After receiving the news of the disappearance of Lord Mengchang, the Qi army, which had previously charged into battle and refused to retreat, suddenly fell into a sluggish and trapped state, as if it was impossible to find a way forward.

"I didn't expect that the head of Peinan Mountain is actually a longevity man, and he is of the same clan as the people in the Beiwai Alley. Could it be that... the person who secretly murdered our lord was his hand?"

"But... Mo Jing once saved his lord."

"So what, it's just a trick by the people of the world to deceive others. I'm afraid they are just trying to eliminate our suspicions before they come to the rescue."

"Now, what should we do? If my lord is really in the hands of Peinan Mo Jing and others, and if they are allowed to be killed by the King of Chu, wouldn't my lord's situation be extremely dangerous?"

Feng Xuan listened to the arguments of the group of advisers who were also coming from behind, and his heart was surging. He looked at the graceful people in the crowd in front of him, who were as graceful as green pines and willows.

That back, standing steadily, like a tall and straight green pine, even though it is standing among the crowd, it is still as conspicuous as a crane among a group of geese.

If the lord is really in his hands... he can only say that he is indeed the famous Baili Peinan of Qi State. He really has the ability to keep these people in the dark and make a fool of himself!

——

"At this point, Gu can no longer give up."

Chu Cangyue raised her eyes and looked at Peinan Shanchang. Her eyes were like crystals, and they were annihilated and turned into broken stars falling into the boundless black sea. The long flying eyelashes cast two dark shadows.

If he is unwilling to submit, then he can only force him to make a decision.

He raised his hand and was about to give the order when he suddenly heard the wind carrying a soft moan from far away.

"Son..."

His hands trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and his pupils narrowed.

"who?"

Chu Cangyue's robes fluttered, and he suddenly turned his head and looked left and right.

His unexpected action attracted the attention of many people, and both the Chu and Qi troops looked at him in confusion.

No……

The sound is gone.

There is nothing left.

Chu Cangyue didn't hear any more sounds, and didn't notice anything strange, as if he had just hallucinated.

He slowly turned his head and looked blankly at the cold coffin standing next to his side.

is it you?

Is it you...calling Gu?

He stretched out his hand and touched it with fear and expectation. When his fingertips touched the coffin, they became colder inch by inch.

"Shout again... If it's really you, you could just shout again..."

Peinan Mountain Chief saw Chu Cangyue's gaffe from beginning to end. He lowered his eyes and sneered in a mocking tone: "There must be idiots in the world..."

At this moment, a tall and slender figure suddenly flew out of the army. He appeared so suddenly that many people widened their eyes in surprise.

He was very light, landing next to Chu Cangyue as lightly as a feather, and his long, soft black hair fell lightly on his waist.

"At this point, if you can't do anything cruel, let me do it. No matter how dirty or ugly the thing is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope that she can be resurrected, I will do it."

The cold and soft voice came from the mouth of a man who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit that was both hot and elegant.

He looked at Chu Cangyue and seemed to smile, his eyes lightly curved like a crescent moon.

"You planned all of this without telling Sun Yang and everyone else, and only brought her old troops here. I thought you had already had the consciousness to abandon everything, didn't you?"

The man has a pair of eyes that make the world lose his mind, but he also has an extremely ordinary face. However, such contradictory temperament and appearance are not as eye-catching as his magnificent temperament.

He stood next to Chu Cangyue, very thin and graceful, with a feminine feeling.

Holding a small pennant in his hand, he glanced sideways at Baili Panan among the longevity men, rolled his eyes, and smiled. This is an expression often used to describe a woman's charm, but on his face it was so harmonious and evil.

.

The scarlet lips spoke coldly: "Except Baili Panan, all others will be killed without mercy!"

Chu Cangyue returned to her previous aloofness and indifference after the man appeared. He stood next to the coffin, his side cold and dark, and remained silent after listening to his words.

Contrary to Chu Cangyue's "quietness", the troops who had previously been ordered by Chu Cangyue "moved" due to Chu Cangyue's words.

They were like a tiger that had just woken up and started to flutter its majestic mane, as if it would jump up and attack them in the next second.

The commander of Peinan Mountain tensed up instantly, and Mo Jing stepped forward quickly and blocked the front with his horizontal sword, saying sternly: "When the waves come, the wind blocks you, and when the sword comes, you block your body. They are wild and wild. We will never give in!"

"Commander, are you going to save me while you wait?" Wei Yan looked ahead and asked nervously.

Feng Xuan frowned, tapped the sword surface with his fingers, and pursed his lips: "If we take action now... there will be no turning back."

As for being an enemy of the Chu army, with their current strength...

"But my lord..."

Because Feng Chen was concerned, he didn't know whether he should take action or not.

But during the period of hesitation, Panan Baili's side had already fought with the Chu army.

Although the Feiyu Army broke away from Chen Baiqi's formation, they have formed their own group. They have the ability to change their formations on their own, and their arrow accuracy and attack power are unmatched by ordinary archers.

Mo Jing and the group of knights formed a formation to stop them, but unfortunately they were unable to hold on for a long time. He turned back and shouted to Chief Peinan and others: "Leave quickly!"

Chief Peinan was protecting a mother and her son and kept retreating to avoid being shot. Hearing this, he shook his head resolutely.

"The matter has come to an end, let's move forward and retreat together."

The Shou people did not know martial arts, and they all staggered back when they were forced to dodge. Some young and old people were overwhelmed and fell to the ground. There were screams of pain and miserable cries. They knew they had died.

No retreat

, the gray-eyed old man with a withered face pushed aside the crowd and rushed out. He turned around and shouted sternly at Baili Panan: "Ziqi, you don't have to compromise for us. It doesn't matter if we live and die with you this time."

!”

He suddenly pulled out a short knife from somewhere on his body, opened his eyes wide, and had a trembling white gray beard, then inserted it hard into his thigh.

Many people were dumbfounded when they saw this old man's behavior.

"What did he do?"

"Could it be that he was too afraid of the Chu army's killings, so he committed suicide first to free himself?"

Not to mention that the people below were puzzled, even Chen Baiqi above was surprised when he saw the old man's involuntary self-harm.

Is this an intention to commit suicide? But why did the knife stab the thigh instead of other fatal parts of the body?

Ding——System: Please pay attention to avoid. An unknown toxin is detected spreading ahead. Please pay attention to avoid the poison. The toxin is being further deepened. Those who inhale it will be poisoned to varying degrees.

Chen Baiqi was stunned for a moment after hearing the system prompts.

Toxin? Poisoning?

Why does the system suddenly prompt that it is poisonous?

Could it be...
