Sky Eye Scout had indeed sent Tang Yin's advice into the Jian City, and had also landed in Mayor's hands.

After reading the letter, Qiu Yue called his subordinates, his officials and advisers all over to discuss countermeasures.

Qiu Yue didn't have any decision in mind. Right now, he knew that Zhong Tian and Ning Jun were near the Jian City, and knew that there was a large number of Tianyuan Army troops chasing after them from behind. However, he didn't know what decision he should make, whether he should stay loyal to Zhong Tian or go against him.

When the officials and aides under him saw the letter, their expressions changed. Some of them said in surprise, "This... This is the letter Tang Yin wrote... In other words, Tang Yin has already led the main forces of the Tianyuan Army to chase after them. "

"That must be it …" Qiu Yue replied weakly.

"In your subordinate's opinion, Ning Jun won't be able to withstand the main force of the Tianyuan Army. No, it is even more impossible for Zhong Tian to resist, Master, right now we must keep the city sealed, we cannot let Zhong Tian enter, this is setting fire to our bodies! "

"This …" Qiu Yue had the same plan in his heart, but to reject Zhong Tian, the Sovereign King, out of the city made him worry. He asked with some misgivings, "Then... What if they try to force their way into the city? "

"I don't think so. My city's defending army only has a bit more than a thousand people, but Zhong Tian and Ning Jun don't have that many troops, and they have traveled a long distance too many, and are very tired. We are just waiting with the city gates as a barrier, and it will not be easy for the other party to force an attack on us, and right now, our Tianyuan Army is right behind Zhong Tian and Ning Jun, and Tang Yin is personally leading the charge.

When the aide finished his sentence, the others all nodded in agreement.

Qiu Yue took a deep breath and asked the others for their opinion. The other officials and advisers had similar opinions as the previous person. They all thought that in their current situation, they had to sever all relations with Zhong Tian no matter what. Otherwise, it would be digging their own graves as they pushed their Jian City into the fire pit.

When one person and two people said this, Qiu Yue might still have some hesitation. But when everyone said it like this, Qiu Yue's heart was completely set in stone. He nodded heavily, looked around at the crowd, and said, "All right! From your point of view, I am betting the lives of my entire family, young and old, as well as the lives of all the citizens of the city.

"My lord is wise!" No one had as much concerns as Qiu Yue, and from their point of view, defecting to the Tianyuan Army was also the best time.

Tang Yin commanded the ten thousand light cavalry and sixty thousand Heavenly Eagle Army to head south, and chase once again. Zhong Tian and Ning Jun's side received the news. Although they had already rested for most of the day, the entire army had never felt a lack of time, but no matter how tired they were, they did not dare to stop. The twenty thousand veterans could only crawl up one after another and head in the direction of Jian City.

According to Zhan Wushuang's plan, even if he wanted to enter the Jian City, he would not be able to stop for a moment. After replenishing his supplies, he would directly pass through the city. Not long after, another report came in from behind. This time, it was from the Peng Army.

After the scout saw Zhong Tian, he kneeled on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Great King, this is bad …" The scout narrated the matter of Zhong Tian's father being beheaded by the Tianyuan Army, his head being hung on the Commander's Flag, and Zhong Tian's concubines being distributed among the generals of the Tianyuan Army.

After hearing this news, Zhong Tian's head buzzed and his vision went black, almost fainting on the spot. Seeing Zhong Tian's body sway again and again, the surrounding guards all rushed forward to support him, and called out: "Your Majesty! "Great King …"

"Wow!"

Zhong Tian felt a warm feeling between his chest and abdomen, and then he felt something sweet in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Aiya …" Tang Yin bullied me too much … " These few words were forced out from between Zhong Tian's clenched teeth.

"Please calm your anger, Great King!" Your Majesty, please take care of your health! "

"King Father — —" At this time, Zhong Wu was also supported by his bodyguards as he walked over. He tightly clenched his fists and said while clenching his teeth: "Let this son fight a battle to the death with Tang Yin!" In the battle between Zhong Wu and Wu Guang, the two were both heavily injured, and Zhong Wu's injuries were not light either. Let alone fighting, he even had to rely on the support of people to support his movements.

Instantly, it was as if Zhong Tian had aged a decade or so. His hands trembled as he grabbed onto Zhong Wu's shoulders and said with a trembling voice, "Right now, King Father only has you as her only family. If something were to happen to you, how are we going to live …"

Both of his legs bent forward as he knelt in front of Zhong Tian, his tears streaming down his face, as he choked with sobs, "This son is incompetent, and cannot help King Father solve this problem …"

Looking at the crying Zhong Tian and Zhong Wu father, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi did not have the slightest bit of sympathy, and only felt extremely fed up.

The two of them looked at each other, and Zhan Wushuang shot his brother a look. Zhan Wudi understood and quickly walked to Zhong Tian and Zhong Wu's side, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please grieve for our hard work! Now is not the time to be sad or sad. If we continue to delay it, and wait for Tianyuan Army to catch up to us, it will be difficult for us to escape. "

Hearing that, Zhong Tian's body trembled, he did not say much, but Zhong Wu raised his head in anger and glared at Zhan Wudi. The latter was shocked by his ferocious gaze, but he was not afraid of him. He mocked him faintly: "If His Highness thinks that you can defeat Tang Yin's Ten Thousand Horses, it doesn't matter if we delay any longer."

"You …" Zhong Wu had long since reached the limits of his tolerance towards Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, so he burst out at the same time. He stood up from the ground, and his hand also grabbed onto the sword at his waist.

Zhan Wudi did not even put his anger in his eyes, leered at him, and asked with a sneer: "What does Your Highness want to do?"

"What for? "I …" As Zhong Wu was speaking, he was about to pull the sword out, but Zhong Tian had already calmed down, and took the lead to hold Zhong Wu's wrist, and said: "Wu Er, do not be rude." Saying that, he looked at Zhan Wudi, not smiling at all, and said: "Wu'er is young, and has offended the general in many ways, I hope that General does not take offense to her."

"Humph!" "Of course, as long as His Majesty moves a bit faster, we won't have to waste any more of our time." After saying that, Zhan Wudi fiercely glared at Zhong Wu and left with a wave of his sleeves.

Zhong Tian's current situation was pitiful but lamentable. In front of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, he was not even like a dog, but the reason the Zhan Clan Brothers were willing to bring him along as a burden was completely according to King Ning's wishes.

His father was killed, his body was dismembered, his wives were divided among others, he humiliated them unrestrainedly. To any man, this was an extreme humiliation, not to mention that Zhong Tian was a dignified king. In front of the overbearing Zhan Clan brothers, his heart was already cold and majestic. At this moment, he could also foresee what kind of treatment he would receive if he were to escape into the Ning Country.

Cooperation with the Ning people, it was truly working with the tiger, but it was too late for Zhong Tian to regret now.

A mere five kilometers of road was incredibly difficult for the current Ning Jun to travel. This was also the most difficult march that Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi had ever experienced.

Looking up, the army of Ning had long since lost their square formation and their flags were almost gone. The troop was sparsely scattered, with some soldiers wearing armor, some only wearing military uniforms, many of them already exhausted. They could not even muster a bit of strength, and were supported by their companions as they limped on their way.

It was hard to believe that the overweeningly overbearing four hundred thousand soldiers of the Ning army were now in such a situation. They did not look like an army, but more like refugees fleeing into the wilderness.

The twenty thousand exhausted Ning soldiers finally arrived at the Jian City before nightfall. Looking around, the city gates of the Jian City were tightly shut, the suspension bridge was high in the sky, and the walls were filled with soldiers, as if they were about to face a great enemy.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi and the others suddenly had a bad premonition.

No matter what, this place was still Zhong Tian's territory, he had to take out the Sovereign King's son, he turned and said to the officer behind him: "General Lu Ji!"

"This lowly general is here! What orders does the King have? "

"Go call the city. Tell this king to come here and have the city's officials quickly leave the city to welcome him!"

"Yes!" "Great King."

The high-ranking officer complied and urged his horse to rush out.

Because the drawbridge was already suspended, Lu Ji ran to the moat and reined in his horse, raising his eyes to look at the city wall, he shouted loudly: "Is the of Jian City on top of the city?"

Just as he finished speaking, a person stuck his head out from behind the tower and asked, "I am Qiu Yue, who is the general outside the city?"

"Lu Ji!" Lu Ji replied, "The King is already outside the city. Why aren't you welcoming him out of the city?"

"Your Majesty? Which king? "

Hearing that, Lu Ji was so angry that he started cursing. He shouted, "How dare you! How many more kings do you think are on my Peng Country?"

Qiu Yue laughed dryly, then said: "General Lu Ji, I think you misunderstood me. As Feng Chen, I naturally recognize the Sovereign King of Feng Country, and as for the so-called Roc Lord, in my opinion, she is the traitor who stole Feng Country. I will not admit it, so General Lu Ji, please go back!"

"Huh?"

Hearing that, Lu Ji flew into a rage, he turned around and grabbed his spear, pointing at Qiu Yue who was at the top of the city wall, he shouted angrily, "Insolent Qiu Yue, you actually went to the rebel army, what crime do you think you should have?"

Qiu Yue's face darkened, and said coldly: "Tianyuan Army is the true form of my Great Gale, you all are the rebels! Lu Ji, go back quickly and stop trying to talk. Otherwise, I will have to shoot you an arrow! "

"Peanut!" Despicable person! "Scoundrel!"

At this time, Lu Ji's eyes also turned red, and he used all the curses he could think of.

Qiu Yue snorted, and shouted: "Release the arrows, shoot and kill this thief!"

The surrounding officials could not hold it in any longer, and after hearing Qiu Yue's orders, they all shouted together: "Release the arrows! Fire the arrows! "
