At this moment, Zheng Pengcheng, the guard of Yangping Pass, was like an ant on a hot pot, scurrying around anxiously.

At this moment, under the city of Yangpingguan, a heavy and dark procession occupied the road. At first glance, there were tens of thousands of people.

The number of tens of thousands is actually not that much. After all, Anyun Kingdom is one of the seven overlords on the mainland. It can be said that there are millions of soldiers in the country. Even in Yangping Pass at this moment, there are tens of thousands of defenders.

.

But numbers are one thing, and combat effectiveness is another. Most of the tens of thousands of defenders at Yangping Pass are ordinary people, and only those above officers are spiritual warriors.

Among the tens of thousands of people under the city, at a casual glance, more than half are spiritual warriors holding spiritual weapons.

The gap between spiritual warriors and ordinary people is irreparable. Even if the tens of thousands of spiritual warriors under the city are scattered in scattered formations, each of them seems to have no record to speak of. It can be said that they are a mob, and their combat effectiveness is not that of the tens of thousands of defenders in the city.

Comparable.

Where did the fugitive His Highness Wang Changsun find so many troops of spiritual warriors?

Yes, the reason why Zheng Pengcheng was troubled was that he couldn't beat him. The other reason was that the person facing him was none other than Wang Changsun.

As a military commander, he was somewhat aware of the rebellion in the royal city and the usurpation of the throne by aristocratic families, but his position was not high enough, so he was not under house arrest in the royal city like other military leaders.

In fact, he was not originally commanding the tens of thousands of defenders at Yangping Pass. When the original general went to the royal city, he became the temporary commander-in-chief.

Who would have expected that such a thing would happen. Sun Qingyun, the escaping king, actually conquered many local forces on the border and formed King Qin's army to fight back to the royal city.

But it happened that his Yangping Pass bore the brunt and became the first pass.

So should we fight or not fight?

Fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him, and the opponent is also the real king's eldest grandson, who has the right to inherit the throne. Now that the king's city has not been decided, it is still uncertain who will be the traitor in the end. If one of them is not good, not only will he not be able to defeat him, but he will also have to pay for it if he loses.

Being regarded as a traitor, let alone whether you can survive if you lose the battle, even if you survive, when the situation stabilizes, no matter which party is in power, you, the one who lost the battle, will definitely be the first batch of unlucky people to be beheaded.

But if you don't fight, let them go? The problem is that the royal family is now in control of the situation in the royal city, and the military leaders are also being held hostage. I heard that some time ago, even the great commanders began to lean towards the family. I can't beat the eldest grandson of Wang.

However, when they were sent to the royal city, they were probably no match for those aristocratic families.

When the time comes, when the family has dealt with the king's eldest grandson, completely allowed the puppet to secure the throne and control the government, and let the king's eldest grandson pass, they will definitely have to deal with themselves later.

Anyway, if you beat me, you will die, and if you don’t beat me, you will die. It seems that there is no third way?

Originally, the general went to the royal city, and he was very happy to be the commander. He thought that he would be in control of the army until the general came back. Even if he came back, he would be the one to make the decision. When the time came, he would take the opportunity to take a further step. Who knew that he would fall into this situation overnight?

Unforgivable situation?

However, no matter how difficult it is, you have to make a choice. Now that the opponent is approaching the city, you don't have time to think about it.

Just when he was anxious, another soldier came to report.

"Report to the general, Prince Qingyun sent someone out and said he wanted to invite the general to come out and see him."

"I know, I know, you go down first."

Zheng Pengcheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved.

Fortunately, His Highness the Prince seemed to be able to communicate and was ready to attack the city as soon as he got the chance. If that were the case, it would be like giving Zheng Pengcheng no choice.

In any case, it was better to meet each other first and see the other party's attitude. He was also a little curious about where this fugitive prince had the ability to gather so many spiritual warriors. What if the other party really had some trump card that he didn't know about?

He didn't dare to leave the city. Although he was the commander-in-chief, his own cultivation level was not high. He was only at the elementary level of a spiritual general. According to the spies' report just now, there were more than one high-level spiritual generals in the opposing army. If he disagreed with him, he would be ruined.

He definitely couldn't get out. So he just came to the city wall and looked down at the opponent's army.

"I am the guard general of Yangping Pass, Zheng Pengcheng, who has met His Royal Highness."

But below, beside a carriage that was heavily surrounded, a man in black with a scar on his face said coldly: "Guardian of Yangping Pass? What is your status? How dare you condescend to the prince when you meet him?"

When Zheng Pengcheng saw the other party's cold expression, he secretly complained and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me. The general has a duty to guard Yangping Pass and cannot leave the city easily."

Although he has never met him, he can still guess the identity of the other party. He must be the legendary Shadow Guard commander Night Falcon.

The man in black said coldly: "Since you know that you have responsibilities, you must still remember that you are the general of Anyun Kingdom?"

Zheng Pengcheng said with a guilty conscience: "That's natural."

The man in black snorted coldly: "Since he is the general of Anyun Kingdom and is responsible for guarding Yangping Pass, now His Highness Qingyun, as the prince and the legitimate heir to the throne, wants to pass Yangping Pass and return to the royal city to quell the chaos. How dare you stop him?

Could it be that you are also working with the rebels and plotting to usurp the throne?"

How could Zheng Pengcheng dare to accept this big hat? He quickly said: "Lord Ye Falcon, I have misunderstood. I am just responsible for my responsibilities. I don't dare to open the city easily. I have absolutely no intention of rebellion."

"Since you have no intention of rebellion, why don't you open the city quickly? Responsibility? Isn't your responsibility assigned by the king? And Prince Qingyun is the next king. If you don't listen to the prince's orders, what is it if you are not a rebel?"

This time it was not Ye Falcon who made a sound, but a majestic man next to Ye Falcon who roared. His voice was like thunder, hundreds of feet away, and it made Zheng Pengcheng's ears buzz.

Then another old man with a gloomy expression said cheerfully: "I tell you, why are we talking nonsense with him? Can't we just call him in?"

Zheng Pengcheng was excited and said quickly: "Everyone, please don't get excited. The general has no intention of stopping Prince Qingyun."

"Then open the city gate quickly, or we won't be polite!" the big man roared.

The surrounding heroes also began to roar, and for a while the roar from the city wall was loud. Most of these people were spirit warriors, and their strength was not low. When they roared, it was as if the earth was shaking. Zheng Pengcheng himself was a spirit warrior.

The general-level master was okay, but the soldiers around him couldn't help but retreat.

Just when Zheng Pengcheng was in a dilemma, a voice sounded softly.
