Chapter 640 1 will achieve great success
After Xing Jun left, Yi Moxu sat down in the chair, patted the spot next to her, and looked up at Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an silently rolled her eyes and sat down as well.
Yi Moxu then looked up at He Chang'an: "What is the situation in the city?"
"All is well. The corpses of the Siyou Kingdom's army have all been properly disposed of."
"Hmm." Yi Moxu nodded. "What's the situation outside the city?"
"It seems that people outside the city are unaware of what happened in the city last night. There are still many troops from the Siyou Kingdom waiting outside the city, and the Siyou Kingdom camp is also quiet."
Yi Moxu curled the corners of his lips: "Okay."
After Yi Moxu finished speaking, he turned to Ye Qing'an and said, "Are you interested in coming with me to the city tower for a walk?"
"Go to the city wall?" Ye Qing'an's eyes flashed with doubt. "What would we do on the city wall?"
"It's getting late. As is customary, it's time to open the city gates."
Ye Qing'an squinted and stared at Yi Moxu for a while, then immediately understood that Yi Moxu was planning to take another wave of Siyou Kingdom's army.
"Okay, let's go for a walk then."
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu rode their horses together, leading their troops to the city tower. Along the way, the streets were bustling with noise, and no clues could be found.
They soon arrived at the city gate. Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu went up the city gate together and saw about one or two thousand soldiers standing guard not far below the city gate.
The city gate tower remained empty, and the soldiers in the distance seemed to be getting impatient. The general on horseback in the middle was pacing back and forth.
Yi Moxu glanced down, narrowed his eyes, and instructed He Chang'an, "Have the troops prepare."
"Yes."
Soon, Ye Qing'an saw countless soldiers rushing up from below the city wall and guarding the top of the wall. Every few meters, a soldier was holding a flag.
Those soldiers were wearing the armor of the Siyou Kingdom's army.
What they were holding was the flag of the Siyou Kingdom's army.
Ye Qing'an noticed that the troops of Siyou Kingdom in the distance were vaguely restless, probably because they had already noticed what was happening here.
Yi Moxu also noticed it, and merely curled the corner of his mouth: "Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
With a heavy creak, the city gate was opened.
The soldiers in the distance were even more delighted.
After a while, the city gates were opened wide.
Two groups of soldiers poured out of the city and lined up on both sides of the city gate, still wearing the armor of the Siyou Kingdom army and carrying the banners of the Siyou Kingdom army.
Last night, the city gates remained tightly shut all night, and those outside had no idea what had happened inside.
After waiting all night, the soldiers who had been waiting saw this scene before them, so they didn't think too much about it. They quickly reorganized their troops and led them on foot toward this place.
Before long, all of Siyou Kingdom's more than a thousand soldiers arrived outside the city gate.
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu had already descended the city wall and were hiding not far from the city gate when they heard the leading general of Siyou Kingdom asking the guards at the gate, "Where is the Grand Tutor? And where are the other generals?"
"Our army has already captured Anzhi City and the city's garrison. The Grand Tutor and the other generals are all discussing military affairs in the garrison."
"Furthermore, Grand Tutor Liu, together with Miss Ye, has already taken the head of the rebel leader. The news has been sent back to the camp, and soon His Highness the Crown Prince will lead the army to break camp and head to Anzhi City."
It is logically sound and full of allure.
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly, and she turned her head to look at Yi Moxu.
"What are you looking at?" Yi Moxu noticed Ye Qing'an's gaze and asked with a light laugh.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Let's see the head of the rebel leader."
Yi Moxu couldn't help but lower his head and laugh: "Well, the head is still perfectly intact on the rebel leader's body."
The general of the Siyou Kingdom's army glanced at the city and saw people coming and going on the streets. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"What about the other rebels? Are they dead? Or did they escape?"
"Some fled towards Qian'an, and some died, but all the bodies have been cleared away."
The general of the Siyou Kingdom's army nodded, his doubts dispelled.
"General, please come into the city with me."
The general of the Siyou Kingdom's army nodded, raised his hand, and waved it sharply: "The army enters the city."
More than a thousand troops entered the city in a grand and imposing manner.
Once all the troops had entered the city, the city gates were suddenly closed.
The generals at the forefront of the army had not yet noticed anything amiss, but the further they went, the more they felt something was wrong.
"General..." a soldier began, "There were still civilians on the streets just now, but why are there fewer and fewer civilians as we go further? It's as if everyone has suddenly disappeared."
The general's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around abruptly, only to see that the city gate in the distance behind him was already tightly closed.
"The city gates..." the general gritted his teeth. "Why are the city gates closed?"
Just now, the soldiers at the city gate said that the Grand Tutor had sent a message to the camp, and His Highness the Crown Prince would soon lead a large army to arrive.
But why did the city gates suddenly close like that?
The general rode his horse around in a circle, only to see that many arrows suddenly appeared on the buildings on both sides of the street.
The arrowhead was pointed directly at them.
"Quick! There's an ambush!"
Unfortunately, this was not a contest between two equals, but a one-sided siege and slaughter.
Countless arrows rained down on the army of Siyou Kingdom, followed by an overwhelming suppression of spiritual energy.
The army of Siyou Kingdom was not numerically superior, and its spiritual power was also much weaker, so it quickly fell into a disadvantageous position...
One after another, the soldiers of Siyou Kingdom fell, their blood staining the streets red.
Ye Qingan stood not far away, watching without the slightest change in his expression.
In her previous life, she had already seen such scenes many times. Although her face remained calm, her heart was still somewhat stirred.
"Actually, these soldiers did not do anything wrong."
“Yes.” Yi Moxu nodded: “Their mistake was choosing the wrong side. They could have had countless opportunities to surrender to us, but they didn’t.”
"The success of one general is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers; this has remained unchanged throughout history."
Ye Qing'an nodded. In her previous life, she was also the regent princess. Her relatives, and even herself, all died in the struggle for power. Naturally, she had a deep understanding of this statement.
Yi Moxu raised his hand and covered Ye Qing'an's eyes, pulling her closer to him: "Okay, I won't look anymore."
"I shouldn't have brought you along in the first place."
Ye Qing'an turned her head and smiled: "It's alright. In the future, there will certainly be many more scenes like this. If I can't even accept this, how can I compete with you for the world?"
"This world is inherently cruel. Since I've been dragged into this struggle, if it's not someone else who dies, it'll be me..."
