Mo Rongzhan led 20,000 elite soldiers and approached Anhe City step by step. Chen Jun, who was standing on top of the city wall, thought that his chance had come. Until he saw the man in black armor clearly. The strong wind blew the corner of his robe and the handsome and cold face that was as cold as the King of Hell became clearer.
"Who is that?" Chen Jun's tone changed. "Isn't that the Jin Kingdom's emperor? Why is he here? Is he leading the army today? "
"It's … it's him!" The people around Chen Jun were shocked.
Facing Wang Qu was not the same as facing Mo Rongzhan. It was impossible for them to resist him.
"Quick, go and find Lu Lingzhi!" Chen Jun shouted. "Pass down my order. Guard the city gate well."
The war had not started yet, but Anhe City didn't even have the courage to fight. Once they saw the Jin Kingdom's army, they would only be on guard. The city gate was tightly shut, and they didn't dare to open it to fight Mo Rongzhan.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Chen Jun on the city wall with a deep and sharp gaze. He didn't see Lu Lingzhi, but he wasn't surprised. With Lu Lingzhi's cunning, he wouldn't appear today. He would only hide in a corner of Anhe City and wait. He didn't really want to help Chen Jun, and he wouldn't come to meet him for Anhe City.
"Attack the city." Mo Rongzhan ordered coldly.
Ye Chunnan was behind him. When he heard his order, he led his soldiers and rushed forward. "Break the city!"
Sharp arrows were shot down from the city wall. The soldiers standing at the front immediately blocked the arrows with their shields and advanced in an orderly manner.
"General, what should we do?" The soldiers on the city wall started to panic.
"So what if it's Mo Rongzhan? Do we have fewer soldiers than him?" Chen Jun shouted loudly, as if this could boost his confidence.
His words didn't boost the morale of the soldiers on the city wall. When Anhe City had 200,000 soldiers, Mo Rongzhan defeated them.
"General, we can't find Mr. Ling. His … his house is empty."
"He must have slipped away because he knows that Mo Rongzhan is leading the army this time." Chen Jun said with hatred. "I don't believe that Lu Lingzhi will die without him."
"Then … what should we do now?"
Chen Jun gritted his teeth. "Leave the city and fight!"
On the other side, Lu Lingzhi wasn't nervous at all. He was leisurely drinking tea in a remote teahouse while listening to Guan Jie telling him about the current situation outside the city gate.
"… I saw the Jin army in Xiliang that time." Guan Jie said, "There's also that guy whose kung fu is better than mine. They're all here. That idiot has already given the order to fight."
Lu Lingzhi listened with a smile on his face. Others might not understand what Guan Jie was saying, but he did.
He said that the person leading the army was Mo Rongzhan, whom he met in Xiliang last time. The person who was more powerful than him was Murong Ke. It seemed that Mo Rongzhan was determined to take down Anhe City this time. "The Chen Army is going to go out of the city to fight?"
Guan Jie nodded. "Will he win?"
Lu Lingzhi laughed mockingly. "Impossible. We can leave now. Let's wait for Mo Rongzhan to enter the city first."
"Big brother, why didn't you help that idiot this time?" Guan Jie asked curiously.
"Since he is an idiot, naturally, it's useless to help him." Lu Lingzhi said lightly. "What about the others? Let's go and meet them."
Guan Jie nodded. "Okay."
Lu Lingzhi smiled. Mo Rongzhan … finally came. It's almost time for them to meet.
…
…
After watching Mo Rongzhan leave Xia Province, Ye Zhen began to feel uneasy. She didn't know what would happen on the battlefield. Even if everyone said that Mo Rongzhan was invincible on the battlefield, he was not invulnerable. Although he had never lost a battle, the scars on his body were visible. Every time she saw them, her heart ached. If possible, she hoped that he would not add more wounds.
"Empress, are you going back?" Hong Ying asked in a low voice. The Empress had been standing here for some time.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. Even if she stood here until dark, Mo Rongzhan would not come back so soon. "Well, let's go back."
Jianjia said, "Empress, the Emperor will definitely come back with a great victory. Now, there is only the Chen Army in Anhe City. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"This Empress is not worried about him." Ye Zhen whispered. She was worried that Lu Lingzhi, who was still in Anhe City at this time, would come up with some tricks.
Mo Rongzhan was already a very black-bellied and shrewd man, but he was still concealed by Lu Lingzhi for so many years. Therefore, she was still very wary of him.
Ye Zhen recalled the Lu Lingzhi of her previous life. It seemed that before she was reborn, he was still very trusted by Mo Rongzhan, although Lu Wushuang was no longer favored at that time.
Speaking of which … It seemed that she hadn't thought about being trapped in the palace for a long time.
When did Lu Wushuang fall out of favor? Why did she fall out of favor? She couldn't remember. It seemed that it was not a fall out of favor. Mo Rongzhan would occasionally visit her, but at that time, it seemed that it was because of Lu Lingzhi that Lu Wushuang could continue to be an imperial concubine.
What was the reason? At that time, no one should have told Mo Rongzhan the truth. Didn't he always think of Lu Wushuang as a child? With his character, it was impossible for him to hate Lu Wushuang so easily unless he knew the truth.
Ye Zhen regretted that she was only immersed in resentment. She didn't want to know more about Lu Wushuang, so she always deliberately avoided him.
That's right! Ye Zhen's eyes suddenly brightened. With Mo Rongzhan's character, it was impossible for him to be easily controlled by others. Why was he afraid of Lu Lingzhi at that time?
"Niang niang, watch your step." Hong Ying held Ye Zhen's hand. There was a step in front of them, but Niang niang seemed to be thinking about something and didn't see the steps at all.
Ye Zhen came back to her senses and her thoughts were interrupted. It was not until she got into the carriage that she reconsidered one thing.
If Mo Rongzhan was afraid of Lu Lingzhi at that time, he must have been a threat that he couldn't solve for a while. But she was reborn into Lu Yaoyao, yet Mo Rongzhan didn't notice this. Was it because of her that Mo Rongzhan's understanding of Lu Lingzhi changed?
How did Lu Lingzhi get so many followers in such a short period of time? Where did those people come from? This should be the threat Mo Rongzhan perceived in his previous life, right?
"What about Wu Chong?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"The emperor left Wu Chong and Sun Jun at your disposal. If you have any instructions, this servant will summon them." Hong Ying said.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Let them come to see me later."
If Lu Lingzhi was still in Anhe City, he must be confident that he could escape Mo Rongzhan's pursuit. But why was he so sure? She must find out what secrets Lu Lingzhi had behind the scenes that they didn't know.
At this time, she had to admit that she underestimated Lu Lingzhi from the beginning.
