Chapter 1674

"Mister Chen, please step aside to talk." Liu Chengyuan cupped his hands to Chen Ning and pointed at a corner of the city wall. There was no one there.

"Sure, sure." Chen Ning gave a faint smile and followed Liu Chengyuan to the corner.

Liu Chengyuan lowered his voice and said, "This lowly official wants to ask mister Chen for advice. Since mister can say something like this, you must have thought of a good method. Not only can it save the lives of the citizens and my three thousand soldiers, it can also protect Yuezhou City."

"That's right, of course I have a method." Chen Ning smiled and nodded.

Liu Chengyuan was surprised and happy. He was so excited that his voice trembled, "Really?"

Chen Ning nodded again.

"I beg mister Chen for advice!" Liu Chengyuan knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Chen Ning reached out her hand to help him up, "Guard Liu, there is no need to be so polite. Please rise. Your loyalty to the country has made this envoy admire you. This envoy will naturally protect the lives of you, the citizens, and the soldiers. You are not afraid in the face of danger and have sworn to protect the city with your lives. You are all good men of my West Chu. How can the hot blood of such men be spilled in Yuezhou City? You only need to listen to my arrangements, like this and this. "

She lowered her voice and put her lips next to Liu Chengyuan's ear, saying a few words in a low voice.

Liu Chengyuan's expression was filled with shock at first, but it slowly eased up. Then he nodded his head, revealing a surprised and happy expression. He gave her a thumbs up, clearly he was completely convinced by Chen Ning.

The thousand faced young master and the soldiers were far away, so they couldn't hear the two of them. They were all very curious, not knowing what Chen Ning said to Liu Chengyuan to make his expression change so much.

After Chen Ning finished speaking, she raised her brows, "What does Guard Liu think of my plan?"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! "

Liu Chengyuan's expression was filled with joy. He quickly said, "This lowly official will immediately follow mister Chen's plan. What else does mister Chen need? Just tell me. Even if you want the stars in the sky, this lowly official will think of a way to give them to mister Chen."

Chen Ning revealed a faint smile and said, "That's right, I do need something. I'll have to trouble Guard Liu to find it."

"What does mister Chen need?"

"An ancient zither."

"Ancient zither?"

Liu Chengyuan was startled. He wondered what the zither had to do with defending the city. But since Chen Ning asked, he agreed without any hesitation.

"No problem, this is a small matter. Though the City of Yuezhou is not exactly rich, finding a zither is not a difficult task. I will certainly deliver the zither to Master Shen. Please wait a moment, Master Shen."

"Okay."

Liu Chengyuan was just about to give orders to the guards when they suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses coming from outside the city. Everyone's faces immediately became solemn.

"Lord Garrison, it's a sentry!" The soldiers on the city wall shouted.

"Quick, open the gates!" Liu Chengyuan ordered.

In next to no time, a horse galloped over. The person on the horse was covered in dust, blood, and sweat, and his appearance couldn't be seen clearly.

Before he could reach Liu Chengyuan, the scout had already fallen off his horse, gasping for breath.

"The South Yue Army is Yue is! The Nan army is is near, the Yue army is Chengyuan.

Hearing this, the faces of all the guards present changed.

They would arrive here in less than two hours.

"Lord Garrison, quickly give the order to fight!"
