C276

Midnight. The great army headed towards Dongyu Prefecture according to their original plan.

Shang Yiqing, disguised as a soldier, followed closely behind Fang Zinan. His small eyes were wide open, excited, and nervous. He held the reins tightly with both hands, wishing he could get to the Residence of Dongyu as soon as possible and see the battle.

Fang Zinan couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. Shang Yiqing's eyes were shining with excitement under the moonlight. He didn't seem scared at all and was eager to give it a try.

"Qing Er, be careful and don't fall off your horse!" Shang Yiqing nodded, "Don't worry, I will be careful!"

Fang Zinan helplessly shook his head. There was nothing he could do to her.

Soon, the army reached the entrance of the Eastfeather Estate and began to attack.

"Grand Preceptor, something terrible has happened. Fang Zinan is leading his men in a sneak attack!" The Military Advisor hastily ran over to report, "The army of the Southern Marsh Country is coming fast. They've already arrived outside the city and are fighting with us!"

The Grand Preceptor was so frightened that the tea in his hand spilled all over the ground. He stood up shakily and asked, "Military Advisor, what should we do then?"

The Military Advisor was flustered. "The Grand Preceptor, ah, we might as well retreat now."

"Ai!" The Grand Preceptor stamped his feet. "Where else can we retreat to?" The city is surrounded by people! " At this point, he took a few shaky steps forward. "It looks like this Grand Preceptor won't be able to keep his life!"

The Imperial Advisor sighed. "Grand Preceptor, what we have now …"

"Looks like we've lost all hope. It's all your fault for harming this Grand Preceptor to such an extent!" Like a mad dog, the Grand Preceptor caught the Military Advisor and began to berate him.

"Grand Preceptor, some things have nothing to do with this little one!" The Military Advisor argued.

"It has nothing to do with you. Is it related to this Grand Preceptor?" The Grand Preceptor was so angry that he pounded his chest. "You official …"

The Military Advisor couldn't help but say, "Grand Preceptor, you were the one who wanted to rebel!"

"You're still talking about …" The Grand Preceptor grew furious. Seeing a sword on the table, he thrust it at the Military Advisor.

The Military Advisor screamed, "The Grand Preceptor …"

"You deserve to die!" At the same time as he withdrew his sword, the Grand Preceptor kicked out with his foot.

It just so happened that Dugu Hong arrived at the scene and saw the Military Advisor lying on the ground. He asked in surprise, "Grand Preceptor, the Military Advisor …"

"Don't bother with this kind of person." The Grand Preceptor took a few steps forward. "Hong'er, what's the situation like now?"

Dugu Hong replied worriedly, "Grand Preceptor, Fang Zinan is currently attacking the city. Our troops are on the loose, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on much longer!"

"What about the reinforcements from the Beiyue Country?"

"They saw that the situation was bad and did not use their full strength to fight!"

"How preposterous! I don't believe that we can't defeat them!" The Grand Preceptor refused to give in. "Hong'er, lead your troops out immediately and meet them head-on. Even if there's only one soldier left, we'll never give up!"

"Understood." Dugu Hong accepted the order and left.

The more the Grand Preceptor thought about it, the more afraid he became. "No, this is better for me." As he spoke, he ran out.

Dugu Hong walked out onto the street. When he saw the frightened soldiers that were coming toward him, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"General, the Southern Marsh Country's army has already invaded the city."

As he said that, he saw Fang Zinan's huge army majestically walking in from the city gate. The soldier that spoke was so frightened that he immediately ran away, and Dugu Hong shouted angrily: "Who are you? "How dare you break our Chi City?"

"The general was originally under the command of the general's vanguard, Chen Fei. Today, I was ordered to capture the Grand Preceptor in the city. If you surrender your armor, I'll spare your life!" Chen Fei said harshly.

"Impudent!" Dugu Hong had been deeply indebted to the Grand Preceptor. How could he surrender to you today? "If the warrior does not succeed for the country, then he will die!" As he spoke, Dugu Hong pointed his spear at Chen Fei, "Come!"

"Alright, I'll help you!" Chen Fei fought with Dugu Hong without any explanation. The soldiers by his side also began to fight with the Grand Preceptor's handicapped veterans.

Dugu Hong's martial arts were truly powerful. After exchanging a few rounds with him, Chen Fei almost let his spear land on his head. He was so scared that his face paled.

When Fang Zinan saw this, he immediately rushed over with his sword and clashed with Dugu Hong. Both of them used their full strength to deal with Dugu Hong, causing Shang Yiqing to tremble in fear.

Dugu Hong's martial arts were not bad, but it was a pity that he was too proud. Last time, he had already suffered a loss under Fang Zinan's hands, and this time, his army's morale was already in chaos. He only made a move to save his own life, not his usual martial arts. Fang Zinan had already seen through his intentions, so he didn't panic at all. Each of his moves was a steady and steady one, forcing Dugu Hong to retreat several steps. Finally, he accidentally stabbed Fang Zinan with his sword, causing him to scream in pain.

"Fang Zinan, be careful!" Shang Yiqing was shocked and could not help but remind Fang Zinan.

Fang Zinan smiled casually: "Don't worry, he won't be able to escape!"

Just then, Dugu Hong took out his spear, the red cherry on the tip of the spear was like a blooming flower, dazzling and dazzling, Fang Zinan turned back and slashed at the spear shaft, but before he could hit it, the spear shaft suddenly snapped in two, thrusting towards his chest. Suddenly, Fang Zinan was shocked, Shang Yiqing could not help but scream out loud, anyone could see that Fang Zinan was about to be injured by this spear, so she could not bear to continue watching and closed her eyes.

With a "Clang" sound, Shang Yiqing opened her eyes and saw Dongfang Hao rush in front of Fang Zinan, taking Dugu Hong's life with a single slash. Dugu Hong spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground dead.

Dugu Hong was already dead. Xiao Tianyuan and Dongfang Hao were leading the army to clear out the remaining members of the enemy while Fang Zinan led the soldiers to search for the Grand Preceptor's residence. When he arrived at the hall, he saw that there was no one there. Fang Zinan looked around, "Sea General, come with me, we'll take a look inside."

When she entered the inner hall, she saw the Military Advisor lying flat on the ground, her chest stained with blood. Shang Yiqing glanced at him and said, "He is already dead." Fang Zinan looked at the table, where there was a pot of tea. He reached out to touch the pot and discovered that it was still warm, so he immediately instructed, "The tea is still warm. The Grand Preceptor left not long ago and sent orders to increase the number of checkpoints in the city and beyond. We have to catch him."

Although the order was issued, there was no response. Fang Zinan unconsciously raised his head and shouted, "Sea General!"

Hai Yuheng took two steps forward, took out his weapon and coldly smiled. "Great General, you don't need to call me that anymore. The day of your death will be upon you." As he spoke, he waved his soldiers towards Fang Zinan.

Fang Zinan was angered to the extreme. "The Emperor has treated you well. Why did you do this?"

"I belong to King Ding, so of course I have to listen to him. You didn't die last time, so you won't be able to escape today!" Hai Yue smiled sinisterly. This place was filled with his subordinates, and Xiao Tian Yuan was waving his hand at the soldiers outside. No one came to help Fang Zi Nan and co.

"You are so despicable, walking in the sea!" Shang Yiqing cursed angrily and stabbed towards Hai Yue with her sword.

Fang Zinan saw the situation and stood in front of Shang Yiqing: "Qing Er be careful!" He returned the blow to Hai Yue.

Who would have thought that another person would barge in from the crowd with a flash of sword light? The red-clothed general covered his face with a veil.

"Nan Yulan, how could it be you?" Shang Yiqing was furious!

"I already knew that you had ill intentions. You were the one who broke the rope when I fell off the cliff, right?" Fang Zinan humphed and asked sarcastically.

Nan Yu and Lan Yangjian paused for a moment before they smiled, "Prince Rong is indeed smart. If it wasn't for Xiao Tian Yuan, I would have already made my move. How would it have cost you so much?"
