Chapter 1693

She nodded and softly said, "That's right. I ordered the citizens and soldiers to evacuate Yuezhou. Only Liu Chengyuan and his 300 soldiers remained in the city. I ordered them to hide a lot of sulfur and saltpeter in the houses of the citizens. Then, I ordered them to dig cellars and hide in them. Once the Nan Yue army enters the city, they will come out and burn the enemies. I also ordered people to guard the four city gates. Once the city is on fire, they will immediately close the gates. Then, they will use molten copper to weld the gates shut. It will be like a turtle in a jar."

The thousand faced young master couldn't help laughing.

"Good plan, it really is a good plan! Little girl Chen, how did you think of such a good plan! Why didn't you tell me a single word? When I was playing the zither on the city walls, my legs were shaking and I even played a few wrong notes ….. "

His laughter came to an abrupt end, and his face revealed an extremely vexed expression.

Damn, how could he not care about what he said when he was happy? He even revealed the fact that his legs were shaking.

He was afraid of being laughed at by Chen Ning, so his face turned red.

Chen Ning patted his shoulder in praise and praised, "You did very well, very well."

The thousand faced young master angrily said, "Little girl Chen, you're mocking me!"

"I'm praising you. If you didn't play a few wrong notes, I'm afraid you wouldn't have lured the South Yue army into the city. If I had told you my plan, you wouldn't have been afraid. The zither is the sound of your heart, so if you weren't afraid, you wouldn't have been afraid when you played the zither and Tuoba Zheng wouldn't have fallen for it. So, you did very well. You have to take half the credit for my plan's success!" Chen Ning said with a smile.

Although there was no trace of a smile on her face, her bright eyes were clear and filled with a faint smile.

The thousand faced young master's heart filled with joy and his shame disappeared without a trace. He couldn't stop smiling.

Suddenly, his expression changed. He pointed in the direction of the south gate and shouted, "Look, that Chu Shao Yang has opened the south gate with his soldiers. The people in the city are about to charge out! What do we do? Such a good plan, why didn't Chu Shao Yang fall for it! Damn, damn, they actually escaped! "He slapped his thigh in annoyance.

Chen Ning raised her brows and calmly said, "What's the rush? It doesn't matter if they escape, I still prepared a large gift for them."

The thousand faced young master's shock turned into joy as he quickly asked, "What large gift? Quickly, quickly tell me! "

Chen Ning smiled without saying a word.

With great difficulty, Tuoba Zheng led his bodyguards to the south gate. As expected, when he saw that the south gate was wide open, he immediately rushed out without hesitation.

In his panic, he didn't know which way to go. He just ran in the direction where there was no fire. Seeing a dense forest in front of him, he led the team and plunged into it.

Before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly heard battle cries from all around him. Immediately, he jumped in fright. Before he could regain his senses, he heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Not good, there's an ambush here!" someone shouted, and then the voice stopped abruptly.

The man's throat was hit by an arrow and he fell to the ground dead.
