Chapter 1666

The middle-aged man's face was covered in dust and his forehead was covered in sweat. He was carrying a large bag on his back and his left hand was holding onto a seven or eight year old child. Hearing Chen Ning's question, he hurriedly said, "Little brother, don't go any further. It's dangerous up ahead!"

"Dangerous?" Chen Ning was startled.

The middle-aged man heavily nodded, "It's far too dangerous. Little brother, you probably don't know, but up ahead is the City of Yuezhou. We are all citizens that live near Yuezhou. We just received the news that the South Yue's army is here, so we are running for our lives. If we were any later, we would have died under the blades of the South Yue. Listen to me, don't go any further. Run for your lives!"

After he finished speaking, he dragged the boy forward as if there was a tiger chasing after them.

A large group of citizens rushed north like the tide and quickly passed by Chen Ning and the thousand-faced young master.

The thousand-faced young master's face turned white, "I didn't think the South Yue's army would arrive so quickly. They're already at Yuezhou. Auntie, should we hurry back to the capital and report this to the emperor?"

Chen Ning shook her head, "There's no need to report. I believe this news will reach the capital soon. Is the South Yue's army really here? Very good, we came just in time. What I'm worried about the most is that before we get to Yuezhou, Yuezhou will be lost. Let's get on the horse. We have to get into the city before it gets dark. "

She jumped onto the horse and whipped it into a gallop towards Yuezhou.

The thousand-faced young master couldn't understand what was going through her head. The South Yue's army was about to reach Yuezhou. Not only was she not running for her life, she was rushing into the city. Wasn't that suicide?

He wanted to turn around and leave a hundred times, but he unknowingly chased after Chen Ning's horse. Even he wasn't sure if he was going crazy with the girl or not.

The two of them galloped and met a few more groups of citizens. Every time he saw these citizens, the thousand-faced young master wanted to retreat. But when he saw Chen Ning, he had a determined look on his face as he headed towards Yuezhou.

"Whatever, whatever. I will risk my life to accompany you. To cure my strange illness, I will waste my time with this girl!"

The thousand-faced young master's heart was filled with anger as he whipped his horse to run.

Finally, the two of them arrived at the City of Yuezhou before the sky darkened.

At this time, there was no sign of the South Yue army. The thousand faced young master's heart sank.

Chen Ning raised her head and looked up at the city walls. She saw that the West Chu flag was still hanging on the city walls and the city walls were filled with soldiers. They all had their bows drawn and were on high alert.

"Hey, the two people outside the city, the city gate is now closed. No one is allowed to enter. The South Yue army is about to arrive. Run for your lives!"

When the guards on the wall saw Chen Ning and the thousand faced young master, they saw that they were wearing West Chu commoner clothes. They thought that they were refugees that wanted to enter the city to seek refuge, so they shouted at them.

Chen Ning took out a token from her chest pocket and raised her voice at the top of the city wall, "By the emperor's order, I am here to help defend Yuezhou!"

When the guards on the city wall heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
