C535 The General Felt Guilty as He Looked into the Fallen Dust Mountain

Time passed very quickly. The night had already fallen. After making all the arrangements, Zhao Gongxun left Shuntian Prefecture under the moonlight. He cleverly avoided the encirclement of the soldiers and hid in front of the largest military camp.

At this moment, Qu Jinpeng was furious. He returned to Luochen Mountain and sat down in the broken temple.

"Mr Qu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? Is everything not going well?" Tianyu asked curiously when he saw Mr Qu's expression.

"Sigh! Don't mention it. This hateful Nie Xiong was truly a despicable person. In order to force me to retreat, he actually killed an old man, a child, and a girl. This is truly detestable. I must shred him into a million pieces. " As he spoke, he clenched his fist and smashed it onto the table.

"What!? They killed someone! What exactly is going on? " Yexue asked in surprise.

"Ah! It's like this. . . " Qu Jinpeng told them everything that happened in Shuntian Prefecture.

"This Nie Xiong is really not an ordinary person. How could he think of such a way to stop Prince Qu from attacking Shuntian Prefecture?"

"Ai! I always thought that he wouldn't do that. He just wanted to scare me, but I never thought that he would really attack me. I really regret it. If I had known this earlier, I would have retreated earlier. I wouldn't have had to sacrifice those three innocent lives. " Qu Jinpeng said with a regretful expression.

"Mr Qu, don't feel guilty. Since the matter has already happened, no matter how guilty you are, it won't help. Those three people won't be able to live again. Although this man is ruthless, it's a blessing in disguise. I think this will be beneficial to us. " Tianyu said as he considered the situation.

"Oh! Tianyu, what do you mean?" Qu Jinpeng asked curiously when he heard Tianyu.

"Think about it. If Mr Qu withdrew early, wouldn't it be too easy for him to withdraw? Nie Xiong called him Saigou. If you withdraw so easily, he won't be able to guarantee your safety. If that's the case, our chances of winning will be much lower.

However, it was different now. In everyone's eyes, You were forced to retreat. You were forced to retreat with the lives of three people and the lives of all the people in the city. According to Mr Qu's character and personality, it was only natural for him to be forced to retreat. Without any doubt, this would not make him doubt his decision. I think he has already started investigating our position. "

" En, what Tianyu said makes sense. This has indeed become beneficial to us. It's a pity that we've lost three lives in vain. " Yexue sighed and shook his head as he spoke.

"Sigh! That's right. What should we do next?" General Qu sighed and asked.

"I believe that someone has already come out of the World's Tyrant Manor with the help of the moonlight. If I'm not wrong, it should be the Second Master Zhao Yongjun. This person is highly skilled in martial arts and is suitable to do such a thing. " Tianyu thought for a while and said.

"That's perfect. Let their Second Master send the news back to us. Unfortunately, it will be faster. " Yexue said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Mr Ling, we want to go together. Mr Qu, you will return to the military camp in a while. Starting tomorrow morning, find all kinds of reasons and send messengers here. Give outsiders the illusion of communicating with each other so that they can attract their attention here. "

"Alright. I will return now. " Qu Jinpeng cupped his fists and said.

"En. Mr Ling, we'll send a pigeon to the people in the city and ask them to make some noise in Shuntian Prefecture. But we must be careful. Safety is the most important thing. We must not let them catch us. " Tianyu looked at Yexue and said.

"En, alright. " Yexue nodded.

"Make some noise? Why? We have already withdrawn our troops, why are we making any noise? " General Qu asked curiously when he heard their words.

"Hehe, although we have withdrawn our troops, we can't just give up on attacking. We have to let them know that we are withdrawing our troops, not withdrawing our troops. We are just looking for other ways to break through the city. The way to quickly break through the city must be a combination of internal and external forces. So we have to let them know our attack plan. " Tianyu said with a smile.

"Oh! So he was just putting on a show for them to see. Then he really had to pay attention to his safety. This is a very dangerous thing. After all, the four gates have been sealed off. They definitely won't be able to get out. So, if they cause them to be anxious and search the entire city, it will be troublesome. " General Qu smiled in understanding.

"En, Prince Qu, you are right. If I'm not wrong, the entire Shuntian Prefecture is under martial law. It's impossible for Nie Xiong to stay still for almost a day. " Yexue nodded and said.

"Alright, I'll be leaving then. " After saying that, Qu Jinpeng clasped his hands and left. Yexue also went to inform the people in Shuntian Prefecture to start moving.

In the next few days, the Shuntian Prefecture became somewhat chaotic. More and more soldiers were killed one after another, causing the soldiers who were defending the city to panic. The morale of the soldiers dropped sharply, which made Nie Xiong very angry.

As for Zhao Yongjun, Prince Qu had purposely leaked the address to him these few days. Finally, his gaze fell on the Luochen Mountain. He quietly climbed up the mountain and came to a spot not far from the sentry post to take a closer look. Starting from the hillside. There were troops stationed on the entire mountain. He had been walking around for a long time, but he had not found a gap that could allow him to climb up the mountain. Seeing this scene, although he did not know what was going on inside, But he was sure that the Emperor would be here.

He did not dare to enter rashly because the security here was too tight. Not far away, there was only one guard. The torch was also brightly lit and entering rashly would only alert the enemy. If that was the case, it would not be easy to find another opportunity to kill. Therefore, he quietly retreated and found an opportunity to return to Shuntian Prefecture.

"Hahahaha, Big Brother, I'm back. I've found their location. " Zhao Yongjun said with a smile when he arrived at Imperial Reading Room.

"Oh! Not bad. We found them so quickly. Tell me, where are they?" Nie Xiong asked happily when he heard this.

"In Luochen Mountain. "

"The Luochen Mountain! Why were they there?! Have you seen the situation inside? " Nie Xiong asked with a frown.

"Brother, they are too heavily guarded. I can't go in. I have observed the terrain there. This Luochen Mountain is small and steep. There is only one way to go up the mountain. The rest of the place is filled with dense forests and thorns. There was no way to go up the mountain. It was like this. They had even cleared some of the paths and estimated that they had surrounded the entire Luochen Mountain. I think it's because this mountain is small and easy to guard. That's why they chose this place. " Zhao Yongjun thought for a while and said.

"En, that's also possible. It's just that this way, we won't be able to investigate the situation inside. If we go there rashly without knowing the situation, we will be in danger if there is a trap inside. " Nie Xiong nodded and said.
