"Attempting to resist arrest and assassinating a military overseer is even more heinous." Shen Youhuang smiled mockingly. "Feng Ningyan, if you surrender obediently, your lordship promises that you won't mention anyone else in the imperial court. If you purposefully challenge the authority of the military overseer the emperor has sent, then don't blame your lordship for being impolite."

Feng Ning Yan's hand trembled slightly, and she slowly put down the sword.

She was well aware of who the others were.

Feng Wei, Shen Ling Jue, Sima Du … Anyone who had anything to do with the destruction of the sentry could be included in the list of collaborators.

Feng Ningyan's hands trembled. It wasn't because she was afraid, but because she was suppressing the hatred in her heart by trying to suppress it with her reason.

With a clang, she returned the sword to its sheath and threw the sword to Liao Guangwen.

When Shen Youhuang saw that she finally stopped resisting, she took a step back and had the personal guards of Prince Cheng's estate use heavy shackles to lock her down.

Sima Du and Liao Guangwen surrounded Feng Ning Yan and confronted Shen You Huang.

"This place is under the rule of the Southern Ning Army! Who dares to take the Young Marshal away!? " Sima Tu raised his brows and shouted angrily, as he was about to pull out his blade.

Liao Guangwen, on the other hand, pressed the handle of Sima Du's sabre back down and looked at Feng Ning Yan, waiting for her instructions.

Feng Ning Yan looked at Liao Guangwen approvingly, and said with a smile, "Protect the Southern Yong Pass, and protect my father. I will be back very soon."

Only then did the two of them obey his command, and they slowly made way for him.

Feng Ning Yan swept a glance at Shen You Huang's triumphant face and clenched the thick iron chains with her hands.

Right now, impulse could not solve any problems. The hidden sentry had already been broken, and the Southern Yong Pass was now faced with an undefensible attack.

Not only could she not allow Sima Du, Liao Guangwen, and the other officers to be charged with crimes, but if not, there would be no generals guarding the Southern Yong Pass. Furthermore, she had to think of a way to escape as soon as possible.

Shen Youhuang thought that she'd completely grasped Feng Ning Yan's weakness when she saw that she no longer used force to resist in order to protect the others.

"Let's go, Young Marshal Feng." He was secretly pleased with himself and walked towards the door.

From today onwards, there would no longer be Young Master Feng!

When he thought of this, he laughed maniacally.

At this moment, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly came from outside the door. This explosion was followed by a series of thunderous explosions.

Shen You Huang was greatly alarmed and took a step back. She almost bumped into the leader behind her and was stopped.

"What's going on?!" He flung his sleeves and asked angrily.

However, he quickly reacted and took a look at Gao Dazhi. His face was pale for a moment.

With such a loud explosion, and the noise was so close, if the enemy did not blow up the city walls, then there was only one possibility left.

"The gunpowder vault!" Sima Duo's face was deathly pale. He glanced at Feng Ningyan before hurriedly dashing out.

When Feng Ning Yan walked out of the door, she saw thick smoke billowing out from the direction of the gunpowder warehouse, as well as the constant sounds of explosions.

Her heart ached indescribably as she grabbed Shen You Huang's collar and yelled through gritted teeth,

"Shen Youhuang!" You idiot! For your own selfish desire, how many people would be killed! The Southern Ning Army is guarding your Shen family's Jiang Shan, don't you know?! Eating dog food that's not even on the inside! "

Shen Youhuang woke up from her shock and her gaze left the black smoke in the air and returned to Feng Ning Yan's face.

Her grief and anger were unquenchable, causing him to not be able to react at all. He even became a bit timid.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly pushed Feng Ningyan away. He straightened his messy collar and forced himself to calm down, regaining his dignity as a prince.

"Feng Ning Yan! If you insult This King like that, This King can immediately kill you! "

"If I scold you to wake you up and scold you to death, I'll admit it even if I have to cut you into pieces!"

Feng Ning Yan was pulled back by Prince Cheng's personal guards as she struggled to shout out, "You're the one who is selling out the kingdom, you're the one who told Duan Liushao the position of the hidden sentry! "You want to overthrow the Feng family and take over the military power of the Southern Ning Army …"

Shen Youhuang hadn't thought that Feng Ning Yan would see through his scheme with a glance. She couldn't help but panic, afraid that if word of this got out, she would get Gao Xiang to gag Feng Ning Yan and escort her to the South Yong Pass dungeon.

Feng Ningyan stumbled as she was escorted down. However, she heard the sound of gunfire bombarding the city gate behind her.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of battle shook the sky as weapons clanged against each other. The sound had already permeated through the city gate and entered the Southern Yong Pass …

Amidst the sounds of battle, she heard Sima Du, Liao Guangwen, and the others shouting with murderous intent.

With her back facing the city gate, she bit the rag in her mouth and silently shed two streams of tears.

The Southern Army had indeed snuck in from the East Mountain and the West Mountain through two mountain passes. They worked with each other and opened the city gates.

Could it be that her hard work for so long was still unable to stop the Nan Yong Pass from falling? Would the fire of war still extend all the way to the dragon's teeth, including the father, the marshal, and the main force of the Southern Ning Army?

After entering the dark and serene dungeon, the sounds of fighting outside could no longer be heard. Only the trembling of the chariots and the hooves on the ground could be heard, causing stone fragments and dirt to fall from time to time from above.

The dungeon was still fairly clean, and after the sandalwood was lit, the musty, dank smell of the air faded a little.

Shen Youhuang sat cross-legged on the side, sipping her tea while Feng Ning Yan was chained to a wooden shelf.

He pulled the gauntlet from her mouth, examined her for hidden weapons, and was about to search her whole body.

Before Feng Ningyan could even curse at her, Shen Youhuang flung out her teacup and slapped it on Gao Zhen's wrist. "Bastard!"

How could anyone be able to touch this woman?

Takeshi cried out in pain and stepped aside in horror.

Shen Youhuang stood up and walked in front of Feng Ningyan to look at her face. Her face that was unparalleled in this world had been stained with dirt from the war and sweat stains on both sides.

As if he could not bear it, he turned and walked to the water vat. He soaked the handkerchief, returned to her side, and raised his hand to wipe her face.

Feng Ning Yan dodged backwards, disgusted by his touch. "Scram!"

Shen Youhuang's hand stopped in midair. When she saw Feng Ningyan's resistance, she turned around with a cold smile and said,

"This prince will now write a report to royal father about the loss of the Southern Yong Pass. Miss Feng should be more respectful to this prince; otherwise, this duke might need to write a few more names on the imperial report if I get angry." "What Feng Wei, Shen Ling Jue, Sima Du, and the rest. It's just a few words, and won't take much effort …"

Feng Ning Yan naturally understood the logic of giving in to someone like Shen You Huang in exchange for a greater humiliation.

"Shen Youhuang, you slut!" Feng Ning Yan couldn't loosen the chain on her body, and her eyes were completely red with hatred. "Don't think that you can turn black into white just because you fabricated evidence! No matter how much you write on the paper, and how many people come to find out the truth, my father and Your Highness King Yu will never let you off the hook! "

"Tsk tsk, now you want to change the name to 'His Highness King Yu', aren't you going to call him 'Darling'?"

Shen Youhuang drew closer. The fragrance of his woman's makeup assaulted her nose, making her feel nauseous to the point of vomiting.

"That's true, you and Shen Ling Jue have already written down their parting letter, and are no longer husband and wife. Look, he can't protect you right now, so only This King can protect you. You might as well follow This King … "

Saying this, he gave an evil smile and raised the brocade handkerchief. Holding Feng Ning Yan's face, he said, "What a beautiful face. Back then at the banquet, this duke had actually made a mistake …"

"Don't touch me!"

Feng Ningyan trembled with disgust. She wanted to smash her head into him, but she had to use all her strength to smash her face into his. She felt her body go limp, and yet she couldn't even move a muscle!

What was going on!? Could it be …
