When the sun gradually showed its smiling face on the distant horizon, the fog in the town gradually became thinner. As the morning breeze blew gently, the already thin fog was also carried by the breeze.

It started to sway and finally disappeared. It seemed that at the moment when the fog dissipated, the sky dawned.

At this time, Mu Qiuhuang and the others, together with the Blood Phoenix Banner sergeants, had all had breakfast and were ready to go. After a night of rest, both the Blood Phoenix Banner sergeants and their horses had become more tolerant.

Makeup glows.

"Can Yun, you must obey Yafu along the way. His orders are my orders." Mu Qiuhuang ordered Can Yun, although Situ Buqi only asked him to send an ordinary soldier to lead the way.

.But Mu Qiuhuang still decided to send Can Yun to accompany him personally.

"Don't worry, young master, my subordinates will obey Mr. Situ's orders." Can Yun responded.

"Okay, I'm leaving. My daughter will be left to you." Situ Buqi said to Mu Qiuhuang.

"Thank you, Father." Mu Qiuhuang glanced at Situ Luqi and said, "Don't worry, Father, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will never let anyone hurt Qier's hair."

When Situ Luqi heard what he called her, a hint of sweetness filled her lips, and she said to Situ Buqi: "Dad, please take care of yourself along the way."

"Yes." Situ Buqi nodded towards Situ Luqi, then turned the horse's head and left.

"Sir, Priest Qingya has wronged you two." Mu Qiuhuang said to the two men dressed as blood phoenix flag sergeants.

"It doesn't matter." Gu Chenyuan smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that after ten years of staying in the military camp with you, one day I would also wear this armor."

Taoist Qingya touched his head and said with a look of displeasure: "This is the first time, His Highness, that you have called Xiaodao Taoist Master. In the past, didn't you always refer to Xiaodao as 'donkey breeder'?"

Mu Qiuhuang smiled at him and said, "In the past, I was too much like Meng Lang..."

"No, Your Highness, you should still call yourself a donkey breeder, right? I'm not used to this," Taoist Qingya said.

"Okay." Mu Qiuhuang's lips twitched and she said, "Donkey breeder, thank you."

It was his impromptu idea last night to let Taoist Qingya and Gu Chenyuan act as sergeants of the Blood Phoenix Banner. He thought that hiding these two masters, Taoist Qingya and Gu Chenyuan, would have an unexpected effect.

As a result, in order to deceive others, he also disguised Chuntao, who was delivering the message to him, as a Blood Phoenix Banner sergeant.

Mu Qiuhuang glanced around and ordered: "Let's go."

Immediately, everyone raised their whips and the horses flew out.

…

At noon, Mu Qiuhuang and his party arrived at Yunzhou City on time as expected. Looking from a distance, the familiar city came into view. However, the two Yunzhou gates that had always been open to them were today.

Closed together tightly.

"Raise the flag."

Looking at the familiar city in front of him, Mu Qiuhuang didn't express any emotion. He just gave instructions to the flag-carrying sergeant behind him. The speed of the Pegasus galloping of the group did not slow down at all. In just a short sprint, Mu Qiuhuang

Qiuhuang brought the two hundred Blood Phoenix Banner soldiers to the city gate, and entered within the bow and arrow range without any scruples.

Mu Qiuhuang, like his father Mu Qing'en, believed in the profound meaning of the saying "don't trust those who doubt others, but never trust those who employ". Since he chose to believe in Situ Buqi, then, Situ Buqi said that the other party would not shoot cold arrows at the city gate.

He would only place the killing scene inside the Marquis' Mansion. He would not have any scruples at the city gate.

Mu Qiuhuang looked up at the city gate and could clearly see the soldiers on the city gate. The weapons in their hands reflected the sunlight.

And just when Mu Qiuhuang came on horseback, the group of soldiers guarding the city gate clearly heard the sound of murderous horse hooves. They stood on the edge of the city wall and looked down.

They saw the flag that they were very familiar with. However, before they were ready to accept it, they heard a clear but not soft sound of scolding coming from under the city wall.

"Are you all blind? Can't you see the flag behind me? Can't you recognize who I am?" Mu Qiuhuang contained true energy at this time, making his voice clearly reach the ears of every soldier on the city wall.

.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, calm down. The general has received the order to seal the city gate. He really doesn't dare to open and close it without authorization. Please wait for a moment, Your Highness. The general will go and ask for instructions right away." A man who looked like a general on the city gate shouted down.

road.

"By order? Whose order? Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Who is this young master? When will I return to my home? Do you have to wait?" Mu Qiuhuang said with forceful words, not caring at all about people like him.

It was still within the range of the bow and arrow.

The person guarding the city today was just an ordinary general named Ma Wei from the patrol camp, not Lei Tong, the commander of the patrol camp. Therefore, listening to Mu Qiuhuang's threatening words below, he was sweating. He said

After all, he didn't actually know what happened. He only knew that a month ago, their commander-in-chief Lei Tong said that he had ordered the city gate to be closed on the order of the Marquis Mansion. From then on, several of their generals

They were on duty in turn. However, not long ago, when the second young master who was far away in the military camp came back, their commander Lei Tong did not hesitate at all. He had previously ordered not to open and close the city gate without permission, and went to the city gate himself to greet the returnees.

That night, a group of agile and well-trained people in the city started to break out of the city. It was dark at that time, and they didn't see clearly that no one broke out. They just wanted to evade responsibility.

They lied that all the people who broke into the city had been killed. However, after the second young master came back, their commander Lei Tong even deliberately confessed that from now on, no one would be able to open the city gate. Originally, this sentence

He didn't feel anything yet, but when he saw the hundreds of Blood Phoenix Banner sergeants and their young master under the city gate today, he felt something unusual.

"Go to the city and report to the commander-in-chief. He said that the young master has already arrived at the city with the Blood Phoenix Flag and asked to enter the city..." General Ma Ni quickly urged the people around him, and then he warmly persuaded Mu Qiuhuang who was under the city:

"Young Master, please calm down. I have a military order and I dare not disobey it. Please wait a little longer, Young Master. I have sent someone to ask for instructions..."

"Bah! Who do you think you are? Where is your leader Lei Tong? If he is here, see if he dares to stop me? After all, you are just a dog guarding my house. What? You still think about it now?

Are you going to bite the master back?" Mu Qiuhuang continued to scold.

Listening to Mu Qiuhuang calling his group of people dogs, Ma Yang not only did not feel that he was insulted at all, but became even more convinced of the unusual thing he had just smelled. He quickly

Another soldier was sent to look for Lei Tong. At the same time, he also scolded their commander Lei Tong in his heart. However, facing Mu Qiuhuang who insulted him under the city wall, he instead kept a smile on his face and expressed his guilt with gentle words.

: "Young master, please calm down. This subordinate deserves death. I have sent several waves of people to ask for instructions. Please wait a moment, young master..."

Indeed, Mu Qiuhuang did it intentionally at this moment. Because he knew that the soldiers from the patrol camp on the city wall were his second brother Mu Qiulin's people. Therefore, he deliberately spoke harshly and insulted each other with his words.

The purpose is to test how much they can tolerate themselves, so that they can judge what kind of situation is in the city today.

"Stop talking nonsense? I order you to open the city gate for me immediately. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless." Mu Qiuhuang continued to scold.

"Young Master, calm down..." Ma Yang had already greeted all the eighteen generations of their commander Lei Tong's ancestors from the bottom of his heart. However, the more he smelled something unusual, the more he dared not

He was good at opening the city gate. On the one hand, he had to anxiously urge people to ask for instructions, and on the other hand, he endured Mu Qiuhuang's filthy words, but he had to keep his smile on his face.

However, he wanted to continue to delay time. Mu Qiuhuang was unwilling to continue to cooperate with him. Mu Qiuhuang suddenly shouted behind him: "The Blood Phoenix Flag obeys the order."

"Here." The Blood Phoenix Banner sergeants shouted in unison.

Although there were only about 200 Blood Phoenix Banner sergeants, they shouted out the formation of thousands of troops. It actually made the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but look sideways for a while, and the palms holding the spears couldn't help but feel a little wet.

, they secretly thought in their hearts that it was indeed the Blood Phoenix Flag known as the "Scythe of Death". This shout alone was enough to make people deafened. However, the words they heard next were what really shocked them.

Feeling extremely frightened.

Mu Qiuhuang raised his whip and pointed at the city gate, and continued to shout: "Blow the horn! After the horn sounds three times, the attack on the city will begin. Anyone who blocks the way will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" the Blood Phoenix Banner soldiers responded in unison, and at the same time, there was the sound of long swords being unsheathed and bows and crossbows being cocked.

"Woo..." The trumpeter also began to puff up his cheeks and blew the rhinoceros horn in his hand.

As the horn sounded, General Ma Ni's expression on the city gate suddenly changed, and even his heart began to beat with the sound of the horn. Although he knew clearly that the number of soldiers in this group of Blood Phoenix Banners was only two hundred.

If there are people coming and they are still within our own shooting range, as long as our group of people at the city gate pick up their bows and arrows and shoot towards the bottom of the city wall, just a few waves of arrows will be enough to kill all the people below. However, he

But they still didn't dare to give orders without permission. Because those below were not enemy troops, but the Blood Phoenix Banner that every Beiyu Army dreamed of joining. And the leader below was their veritable young master.

"Why haven't the people who went to see Commander Lei come back yet? These losers..." Ma Yan vented his anger towards the soldiers around him, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead.

What Ma Ming didn't know was that their commander-in-chief Lei Tong was sitting in a teahouse not far from the city gate, and sitting opposite him was their second son. As for what happened on the city gate

They also heard the conversation clearly.

"Let's go! What's supposed to come will eventually come."
