Hong Zhi slapped the table, and anger filled the civil and military ministers.
"Two cities were lost in a row. Tell me, who can resist?"
"The king is killing people everywhere and his troops are getting stronger and stronger. Do you have to wait until he attacks our royal city before you are willing to do it?"
Hong Zhi was really angry.
In the past, ancient magic was used to guard the border. Although there was no major war, at least a balance could be maintained.
But now, Gu Shu has just left, and within a few months, he lost two cities in a row.
"Your Majesty, that monarch is ferocious and powerful, and he has many fierce generals under his command. I, Xie Yue..."
"I also know that the monarch is powerful and powerful.
No matter how tyrannical he is, he is only a master. This is a battle, not a fight to the death between two people.
From the beginning of the war, he has never taken action, but we have been retreating steadily."
"Your Majesty, at this time, please return to the ancient prince, which is the most important thing!"
Hong Zhi's face was ashen and he said nothing.
It was these people in front of him who asked him to punish Gu Shu, and now he was asked to shamelessly invite the other party back, and it was also these people.
Where does this put his face, and how will the world see him?
Hong Zhi had a gloomy face and looked at the guys below who had their heads lowered.
On weekdays, each one is more eloquent than the other, but at critical moments, they are of no use. What is the use of these people?
Taking a deep breath, he glanced at the guys in front of him and asked, "Who has any news about ancient magic?"
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the news I got, the ancient prince took his family back to their ancestral land."
"Where is the ancestral land of the Gu family?" Hong Zhi asked angrily.
"According to the news we got here, the location is right on the border. Now it has been captured and occupied by Cang Ye's soldiers."
With their fingers clenched, Hong Zhi had no temper at all because of these people.
"Give the order, send someone there, the message is delivered, Xuan Gu Shu will return to the royal city immediately."
Xie Yue is like an ant on a hot pot.
On the other hand, it was a different scene over there at Cang Ye.
Junwei was in charge and continuously attacked the city. In just a few months, he captured two cities.
It can be said that it directly broke the balance between the two dynasties.
As long as they continue to persist and make no mistakes, it will only be a matter of time before they annex Xie Yue.
The current monarch is a nightmare for the entire Xie Yue Dynasty. Mentioning his name will make people tremble with fear.
"Is there any news from the princess?"
"Back to the marshal, there are two young masters and people guarding the surroundings. There will be no problem."
"It's okay if there's no problem. We must guard it there and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Regarding that village, Junwei doesn't know what to do now.
Sending someone to guard the princess was just an excuse. No one probably knew the real intention.
Does the princess need anyone to protect her safety? This is nonsense.
How can I protect my daughter who has only been learning from him for a few years and is now invincible to Cang Ye?
The reason why he sent people to guard it was because of that ancient technique.
As long as the ancient magic does not appear, he will not be afraid of anyone in the Xie Yue Dynasty.
What can a grandmaster do? This is a battle, not a martial arts duel.
Well, it is strange to say that this is another village that has taken in two waves of people in a row.
Fortunately, he knew so much about this village that he didn't care at all.
The other village far away from Cangye was what gave him a headache.
Standing still with a sword, just by moving the sword in his hand, he could kill all his men. This was simply miraculous.
He saw with his own eyes that the other party was wielding a sword.
If there is such a helper, why can't Cangye rule the world?
The most important thing was not this, but the news coming out of the village, which simply made him doubt his life.
Weird houses, high yields of food, and lights that look like daylight at night.
Moreover, he also heard people say that there are often singing songs in the village, which is very lively. The level of liveliness is even greater than that of God.
"Give me the order and stay on guard. I'll make sure everyone knows who's there. There must be no conflict."
"This marshal can rest assured that these two young masters are more interested in me than anyone else, and they are also afraid of it."
Junwei nodded, he also knew what his two sons were thinking.
His family knew about his own affairs, but he couldn't care about it, and he didn't want to.
"By the way, Marshal, according to the news from the two young masters, people often enter that village at night and drop a large amount of supplies on the villagers."
Jun Wei was suddenly startled and stood up in a flash.
"Who is it? Why didn't you stop him?"
"It seems that we, Cang Ye, are from a chamber of commerce, and seem to be cooperating with the village.
It's just that this cooperation is a bit weird. Every time I leave in the middle of the night, I never meet the villagers."
Once he heard that he was from Cang Ye, Junwei breathed a sigh of relief again.
"Let's go back and check to see which chamber of commerce he is from and what kind of cooperation he has with the princess and the others. If the matter is not serious, forget it."
With that said, Jun Wei stood up and walked outside.
We had just captured a city, and at this time, the city was in chaos.
Arriving on top of the city wall, Jun Wei frowned as he looked at the panicked crowd below and the shouts coming from around him.
War is cruel. Once a city is captured, if the situation cannot be brought under control quickly, something big will happen sooner or later.
Although his methods are a bit ruthless, he is still better at fighting at the front than when he starts a fire in the backyard.
Only by firmly controlling these people can he continue to capture the next city.
The manpower is too small, and the dynasty does not give him more troops. He only relies on the manpower at hand. If he cannot control it well, all these years of hard work will be in vain.
"stop!"
Just when Jun Wei was thinking about things, two figures under the city wall caught his attention.
Two people and two horses came directly to the city gate.
Either he is sick or he is just too confident.
What is the situation now?
Under such circumstances, the people in the city were eager to escape from the city, but these two people did the opposite.
"Master Jun, we are just passing by here, taking advantage of the road to purchase some items from the rear, can we be accommodating?"
The person at the city gate bears the shadow of the blacksmith Aji.
It often happens to the two of them when they go out shopping.
In the past, before this city was captured, the two of them would still buy things here.
But these days, the city has been in chaos and there is no place to sell anything.
If you want to make purchases, you have to either go further to Xie Yue, or go through this city to the rear.
It's a bit troublesome, but who is the shadow?
Since knowing Yan'er's identity, it was hard work to get the other party's approval.
As long as Yan'er agrees, he is not afraid.
On Cang Ye's territory, not only can there be freedom of entry and exit, but at least safety issues are guaranteed.
"Who are you? Get off your horse immediately!"
The city gate guards formed a group and directly surrounded the two of them.
Aji was a little scared.
He was no better than a shadow and could not understand the situation, especially these soldiers. He was afraid from the bottom of his heart.
