"What's going on?" Liu Pan led his heavy cavalry to chase after Liu Mang. Suddenly, the entire army in front slowed down. He was chasing after Liu Mang. The vanguard had to intercept the flying object so that the rest of the army could catch up. But now, the entire army slowed down.
"Could it be that they caught the King Of Shu, Liu Mang?" Liu Pan asked the guard beside him doubtfully. He asked the guard to go to the front to see what was going on. Soon, the guard returned.
"Reporting to General, the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, has already passed through the West Gate and is floating towards the outskirts of Xiangyang!"
"Then why aren't you chasing after me? Why did you stop?" Liu Pan was a little angry when he heard this. Liu Mang was flying in the sky, and he was chasing after him with his warhorse. He had to take a detour. After all, he could directly float through some places, but he couldn't pass through walls. Fortunately, the flying object in the sky wasn't fast. Otherwise, he would have lost him long ago.
This was an urgent matter, but his own people stopped. Could it be that they were tired? Impossible. Liu Pan shook his head. He naturally knew the elites under his command. They could be considered the most elite troops in Jingzhou. Even if they traveled a long distance, their horses didn't decrease at all.
"General, we have been stopped!" The guard explained.
"That King Of Shu, Liu Mang, has a troop behind him?" Liu Pan asked. If they encountered an enemy, they would naturally stop.
"It's not the enemy. It's just that we can't pass through the West Gate." The guard smiled bitterly. They were chasing after the enemy, but after reaching the West Gate, they couldn't pass through. The West Gate had already been closed. With the gate closed, how could they chase after the enemy? They couldn't possibly fly out like the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
"Bring me there." The West Gate was closed? Liu Pan's face darkened. He spurred his warhorse and galloped towards the west gate under the lead of his personal guard.
Xiangyang City's defense wasn't very luxurious. After all, it was located in Jingzhou. Xiangyang City was a large plain with many waterways. Therefore, it was very suitable to be a place for trading. Therefore, Liu Biao panicked after Fan City fell. Xiangyang City's terrain was very low and the ground was moist. Therefore, the city walls couldn't be too high. Even so, Xiangyang City was still very large. Now that the gate was closed, it was simply impossible to escape.
Liu Pan's eyes narrowed. "Go. Call the captain of the city gate down." Liu Pan was furious. It was broad daylight. What was the point of closing the city gate?
"Yes!" The guard cupped his fists and nodded. He walked to the front and said, "People on the west gate, listen up. Our general, Liu Pan, is here. Quickly call your gate captain out. Our general wants to see him."
"Liu Pan? Which Liu Pan? I don't know him. I won't see him! " On top of the gate tower, the captain of the west gate waved his hand to express a kind of disdain. He was ordered by the eldest son Huang She to close the west gate.
"Our captain said he doesn't know any General Liu Pan. Tell him to go back to where he came from."
"Hmph!" Liu Pan heard the reply and snorted. He personally walked to the front and said, "If he doesn't know General Liu Pan, then he should know Second Young Master Liu Pan."
"Second Young Master?" The gate captain was stunned. Which family's Second Young Master?
"Which family's Second Young Master? Our general's uncle, no, our general's father's surname is Liu. His first name is Biao. His son is Jingsheng. He is the Governor of Jingzhou."
"Milord's Second Young Master?" The gate captain immediately stood up. After all, he was working for Liu Biao. When he heard that Liu Biao was the Second Young Master, he couldn't help but walk to the top of the city wall. He looked at the soldiers below and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
There were groups of heavy armored cavalry below. If it was on flat ground, the gate captain wouldn't have such courage. However, with the city wall blocking him, he wasn't afraid.
"Evidence?" Liu Pan thought for a moment. "I have the white jade tiger pendant that my father gave me. Does that count?" Liu Pan took off the jade pendant from his waist and said.
"I can't see clearly below the city wall. Bring it up for me to see." The gate captain shouted.
"You!" Liu Pan's subordinate was angry. Bring it up for me to see? Who do you think you are? You are just a small gate captain. Their general is the Second Young Master of the Lord. However, Liu Pan stopped him. He wanted to chase after the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. He couldn't cause more trouble.
He immediately had someone send it up in a hanging basket.
"This jade pendant?" The gate captain looked at the tiger pendant in his hand. He didn't know if this jade pendant was real or fake. However, this jade pendant was so precious that the Fei Family's descendants couldn't afford to wear it.
Could it really be the Second Young Master of the Lord? The gate captain also heard that the Lord had such a Second Young Master. However, there was suddenly no news of him. He heard that he was sent to a general.
"Greetings to Second Young Master. This subordinate has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I hope that Second Young Master won't blame me!" The gate captain smiled and cupped his hands towards Liu Pan.
"Don't talk nonsense. Open the city gate. Our general still has to chase after the enemy!"
"If Second Young Master feels that this subordinate has done something wrong, Second Young Master can speak freely. This subordinate will definitely offer a humble apology. However, regarding the matter of the city gate, I hope that Second Young Master can forgive me. This Lieutenant has received the orders of the Lord, saying that there are Xiao Xiao causing trouble in the city. We must close the city gate and not let a single Xiao Xiao out of the city." The Lieutenant of the city gate spoke very politely, but with just one sentence, the city gate did not open.
"What is your name?" Liu Pan narrowed his eyes. If one looked closely, one would see that there was a murderous aura in his eyes.
"This subordinate is Ye Cheng," the gate captain replied.
"Ye Cheng, the Ye Family!" Liu Pan understood immediately. "You're from the Huang Family?" Although his surname was Ye, he was called the Huang Family. The reason was that, just like the Zhang family and the Cai family, the Zhang family was a vassal of the Cai Family. This Ye Family was a vassal of the Huang Family. Therefore, Liu Pan naturally knew who this Ye Cheng was.
"Ye Cheng, I don't care if you're from the Ye Family or the Huang Family. If you don't open the city gate today, then don't ever open it. Otherwise, the day you open the gate will be the day you die!" Liu Pan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Are you threatening me?" Ye Cheng was also angry. No matter what, he was still a member of the Ye Family. There was the Huang Family behind him. So what if Liu Pan was the Second Young Master? Did Liu Biao's Eldest Young Master, Liu Qi, have any status in Xiangyang? If I give you face, you're the Second Young Master. If I don't give you face, what can you do?
"I'm not threatening you. The one who wants to kill you is not me! It's my father, "Liu Pan said casually.
"Hm?" If it was Liu Biao threatening him, Ye Cheng could ignore it. But what about Liu Biao?
"Our General is here to pursue the traitor under the orders of the Lord. Now that you've closed the west gate, the traitor has escaped. Can you bear the consequences of this crime?"
"This!" Ye Cheng hesitated. He knew that Liu Biao was serious this time. He wanted to take down the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. If he did this on purpose, Liu Biao would definitely not forgive him. However, Ye Cheng also received orders from the Eldest Young Master to close the gate and not let Liu Pan pass. Ye Cheng was in a dilemma.
"General, there's no need to do this. Just open the gate!" A soldier at the side suggested.
"But where is the Eldest Young Master?" “
"The Eldest Young Master asked us to stop him, but he didn't ask us to stop him from leaving the city. General, look. The thing flying in the sky has already floated far away. It doesn't care about this anymore."
Ye Cheng looked over. Indeed, the thing flying in the sky had already passed the west gate and was floating out of Xiangyang City. If it went further, it would be a dense forest. With so many trees, how could Liu Pan chase after it? "Haha, men, open the gate and send the Second Young Master to chase after the enemy!"
"Yes!"
