Mao An's knees received a heavy kick, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground. He struggled to stand up, but the guards on his left and right immediately rushed forward and pushed him down to the ground.

"Tang Yin, you are an official, yet you dare to commit treason and rebel. You do not need to be complacent now, you will die a horrible death!" Although Mao An was pressed on the ground, his mouth was still open as he scolded loudly.

"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed and said: "That's right, I am an official, but I am Feng Chen, and not some Peng Chen. I'm trying to suppress a traitor! On the other hand, you, Mao An, who have helped the evil, died for nothing, and even now you still do not know how to repent, speaking so arrogantly, what use is there for me to leave you! " With that, he waved his hand and asked, "Where are the blade and axe men?"

"Here!" Following the agreement, two men holding ghost heads and big machetes walked over and bowed towards Tang Yin.

Tang Yin said: "Push Mao An out, die!"

"Yes sir!" The two blade and axe hands agreed and dragged Mao An out. Mao An had long predicted that his life would not last, so he did not seek for a chance to live. He roared at Tang Yin: "Tang Yin, I will go first, on the road to the Yellow Springs, I will wait for you, haha …" I really hate that Geng Qiang didn't listen to my idea, if not how could you all take over Ji City … "

Seeing Mao An being dragged to the entrance of the tent by two blade and axe hands, one pulling his hair, and the other raising his ghost head and blade to cut down, Qiu Zhen chased up to the entrance of the tent and said: "Wait!" After he finished speaking, he quickly went back to the tent and said to Tang Yin: "Master, this Mao An is good at strategy and strategy, and also knows how to heal the soldiers, why don't we stay and take him in as our own?"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin slammed the table fiercely, his eyes widened and interrupted: "This man is extremely hateful, forget about being loyal to Zhong Tian, even if he wants to rely on me, I will not let him live!"

"Lord …" Qiu Zhen frowned, he still wanted to advise him against it, but Tang Yin turned his head away, no longer looking at him, and shouted at the hands of the blade and axe: "Kill! What are you all waiting for? "

"Yes sir!" The blade wielder looked at Qiu Zhen, then at Tang Yin, and did not dare to delay any further, he anxiously raised his ghost head blade and aimed at Mao An's neck and fiercely hacked down.

"Puchi!"

Following the flash of the blade, Mao An's head fell to the ground, rolling for a long distance, blood spewing out of his mouth like a fountain.

Seeing Mao An's head fall to the ground, Tang Yin's anger had not subsided, and asked Gu Yue: "Is Mao An's family in the city?"

"Yes!" "My Lord!" Gu Yue nodded.

"Kill them all! Leave none alive!" Tang Yin's tone was as cold as ice.

"Understood!" Gu Yue cupped his hands and received the order.

Then, Tang Yin turned to look at Lu Qingfeng whose face was ashen.

As a martial general, Lu Qingfeng was not afraid of death, but right now, his heart was trembling, and his expression was ugly. Mao An's headless body was right at the entrance of the tent, if one had to say that they were not afraid at all, it would definitely be a lie. He met Tang Yin's gaze, took a deep breath, and said: "Master Tang, kill this one as well!"

Tang Yin laughed, he tilted his head and asked: "I heard that your Spirit Force is not bad?"

"Not as good as Master Tang!"

"Oh? How do you know? "

"Master Tang and I have already fought in the city!"

"Oh!" So it's you! " It was only now that Tang Yin was clear that the Lu Qingfeng in front of him was the General of Peng Country that was fighting with him in the city.

Just as his brothers had said, this person's Soul Force was indeed not bad. He said faintly: "Zhong Tian is a traitor who killed a king and usurped power, his heart is detestable, he can be killed, I pity your Spiritual Martial Cultivation, if you were willing to serve under my command, not only would you not punish me for your crimes, you would even be bestowed with an official title. If you persist in your ways, you would have seen that Mao An is just like the road ahead of you, where to go next, you can decide for yourself!"

and Mao An were both Zhong Tian's trusted aides, but Tang Yin's attitude towards the two of them was completely different. After Mao An was executed, he did not hesitate at all, and did not even listen to Qiu Zhen's advice.

After listening to Tang Yin's words, Lu Qingfeng's heart was moved, but to make him abandon Zhong Tian and vote for Tang Yin, was something that he could not do. He cupped his hands and said: "I thank Master Tang for his kindness, but as a general, I will not serve the two masters, I hope that Master Tang can give me a quick death, and I will be forever grateful if Master Tang does not implicate my family!"

"What if I let you go?" Tang Yin stared straight at him.

"Then, this humble one will return to the Yan City and ask for your forgiveness, your highness." The meaning in his words was that even if Tang Yin released him, he would still go back and fight for Zhong Tian.

Sigh! Tang Yin sighed secretly, this man was truly a loyal man, but unfortunately, he was different from him. He was quiet for a moment, raising his head to look at the rest of the people in the tent, Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue and the rest were all staring at him. Tang Yin had killed the talented Mao An so easily, everyone wanted to see how he was going to deal with this Lu Qingfeng.

After pondering for awhile, Tang Yin raised his hand, stopping in mid air for a moment, then suddenly waved it down, and said: "Kill!"

People like Lu Qingfeng, since they couldn't be taken for their own use, they had to be killed.

Following Tang Yin's orders, the blade and axe hands entered the tent and dragged Lu Qingfeng out as well. With a raise of his hand, the blade dropped down, chopping off Lu Qingfeng's head as well.

Tang Yin said to Gu Yue expressionlessly: "We cannot keep Lu Qingfeng's family, kill them all!"

Gu Yue was startled, although Tang Yin did not promise Lu Qingfeng to keep his family, but he had already displayed his cherishing will, why did he still have to execute his family?

Seeing his confused expression, Tang Yin said faintly: "To cut the grass, we have to get rid of the roots!" Since he had already started killing, he had to kill to the end. He had to eliminate any potential threats that might be detrimental to him in the future. Tang Yin was not the opposite of a kind person. His methods were always ruthless and merciless, not holding back at all.

"Your subordinate understands!" Gu Yue bowed.

After Directly Subordinate Army's capture of Ji City, Tang Yin did not massacre the entire city, but instead began a large-scale massacre of the soldiers within the city. Especially the generals and officials, not only did they all have to be executed, they even had to exterminate their entire families.

Tang Yin's bloody and ruthless methods had the effect of killing chickens and honoring monkeys to a certain extent.

In the villages near the Ji City, there was no need for Tang Yin to raise his arms to attack them. All of the officials had already taken the initiative to come forward and surrender to Tang Yin, and made guarantees that they would be willing to abandon Zhong Tian and continue to be loyal to Windy. As for the citizens below, because they were not harassed and killed by the Feng Army, their attitude towards it had greatly improved. Even if they could not be called supportive, they were still not as cautious as before.

Directly Subordinate Army rested for an entire day, after that, Tang Yin gave the order to continue south, and entered Bao Qing County to obtain Lehu County, Xibai City.

When Tang Yin's commander's Directly Subordinate Army was approaching the Xibai City, the other two armies, Pingyuan Army and Chifeng Army, were progressing smoothly as well. From the east and west sides, they thrust into the Xibai City, and with Tang Yin as the leader, they encircled the Xibai City.

On the other hand, the hundred thousand Sanshui Army led by Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan were far from being as smooth as this. It was not because they encountered any obstructions from the enemy, but because the roads within the Dookie were too difficult to traverse.

In the vast desert, even if one had horses or camels, it would still be hard to travel, let alone a hundred thousand people on a journey.

At the beginning, there were only a dozen or so soldiers who had fallen sick, but within a few days, the number of soldiers who had fallen sick had increased by a large number. Originally, the army's supplies were heavy enough, but now they had to bring along a lot of sick people with them.

What was worse was that no one had expected such a situation to occur. There were insufficient drugs in the army, and the sick soldiers couldn't be cured. Many of them went from minor illnesses to serious illnesses and died in the army.

Because of the heat of the desert, the corpses could not be preserved for long and could only be buried on the spot. At first, the corpses could be neatly buried and marked, but as more and more soldiers died, they simply could not be buried.

Apart from this, the hidden quicksand in the desert was one of the biggest threats to the army. On the surface, the ground appeared to be covered with sand, but once a person walked onto it, they would immediately sink into the sand. On the surface, the ground seemed to be covered with sand, but once a person walked into it, they would immediately sink into it.

The hardship of marching in the desert was beyond his imagination. Liang Qi, who came from a noble background and stood at the top of the army, showed the side of a soldier, giving out his horse carriage for the sick soldiers to ride, and even giving up his war horse as transport. He moved forward on foot just like the ordinary soldiers below.

How could a general who shared hardships and hardships with his soldiers not be loved by them? Liang Qi's actions caused the soldiers to be extremely touched, but at the same time, they also created a strong cohesive force, causing the Sanshui Army to remain and not dissipate even in such a dangerous environment, raising the morale of the soldiers.

After walking arduously in the desert for a full ten days, a hundred thousand Sanshui Army warriors finally left the desert, approaching the border between Dookie, wind, and Ning. Right now, if they were to count the number of people once more, Sanshui Army s would decrease by more than three thousand, and it could be said that they would be corpses that were tossed all the way here.

The junction of the three nations was a barren mountain and wilderness. If one wanted to travel from here to the Tong Gate, the journey would not be far, but one had to pass through the continuous mountain ranges in front of them. There was basically no way out, and they could only open up a path for themselves. At this time, Shangguan Yuan suggested to Liang Qi that the entire army base should rest and adjust their position before setting off again. After all, the soldiers below were too tired.

However, Liang Qi shook his head and expressed his opposition. The soldiers were extremely fast, they could not be delayed, and during the journey, the most terrifying thing for the soldiers was to rest midway, causing their qi auras to weaken. They had to go all out and reach their destination.

After hearing Liang Qi's words, Shangguan Yuan let out a bitter laugh. Their army had just walked out of the desert and was about to enter the abyss of poverty, so even if they could successfully reach the Tong Gate, they would still be exhausted. How could they attack the city?
