Chapter Thirty-One

  Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen wanted to leave, but Yu Jia would not let them go. Especially Tang Yin, who had torn off one of Yu Shang's ears. Yu Jia had long been furious with him, and now that he saw him trying to escape, Yu Jia shouted loudly, urging on his warhorse, holding a silver spear, and chasing after them directly.

  Standing on the city wall of Tongmen, Wu Mei seemed to have expected this outcome. She coldly snorted in her heart, how about it? You talk about credibility and not killing Yu Shang, but the other side won't talk about credibility with you!

  Tang Yin's energy was exhausted, but he couldn't bear to abandon him. Wu Mei turned her head and shouted: "Release the arrow, cover General Tang back to the city!"

  Although Wu Mei was not the commander of Tongmen, she held a high official rank and her orders were obeyed by the soldiers.

  As her voice fell, hundreds of archers stood up on the city wall, aiming at Yu Jia who was chasing Tang Yin, and shooting arrows in unison.

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh - arrows poured down from the city wall like raindrops, although they were not aimed at Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen, but the two of them instinctively lowered their waists and dodged subconsciously.

  Yu Jia, who was under attack by the chaotic arrows, remained calm and unhurried. He swung down the silver spear in his hand, and suddenly a layer of white mist emanated from his body, enveloping him completely. The mist condensed into a white armor that wrapped around him tightly, leaving only his two eyes exposed on the outside.

  It's slow to say, but in fact it's extremely fast. Yu Jia completed the transformation of Ling Kai in just an instant.

  His armor was just completed, and the arrows had arrived in close proximity. In his ear, he only heard a crisp ringing sound, and when he looked at Yu Jia again, sparks were flying all over his body. The arrowheads were sharp, and they came from top to bottom with great momentum, but they couldn't penetrate his armor at all, and instead bounced off one after another.

  In the blink of an eye, the ground around him also accumulated a circle of residual arrows, but the impact force of the arrow still forcibly blocked his forward-rushing figure.

  "Second brother..."

  Just as Yu Jia was waving his silver spear to deflect the incoming arrows while thinking of how to break through the enemy's arrow formation, he suddenly heard Yu Shang's voice behind him.

  "What's up?" he asked without turning his head.

  "Second brother, don't chase anymore..."

  Yu Jia was unwilling to give up, but at this time the number of Fengguo archers on the city wall increased again, and the arrows that came whizzing in were even more dense and sharp. Looking ahead, Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen had already run to the foot of the city wall and started climbing up along the rope. He secretly sighed and shouted at Tang Yin's back: "Tang Yin, one day I will take your dog head!"

  At this time, Tang Yan had already been pulled halfway into the air along the rope. He turned his head to look down at Yu Jia, who was desperately trying to catch his breath in the distance. With a cold snort, he seemed to be muttering to himself, saying: "Remember my name well, next time we meet, it's not certain who will take whose life!"

  Yu Jia turned his horse's head and retreated beyond the range of the Fengguo arrows.

  He walked into the room, saw that the wound on his ear had been simply bandaged, and his pale face was frightening. He took a deep breath and asked in a condensed voice: "How do you feel? Besides your ear injury, where else are you hurt?"

  Yu Shang slowly shook his head and said: "Second brother... Tang Yin may have hurt me, but he also saved me just now!"

  "What?" Yu Jia raised an eyebrow in confusion.

  "Originally, Wu Mei wanted to kill me. It was he who intervened and saved my life." Yu Shang said weakly.

  "Huh?" Yu Jia heard this and felt inexplicably puzzled, he racked his brains but couldn't understand why Tang Yin wanted to protect Yu Shang, however the name Tang Yin was deeply etched in his mind.

  Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen were pulled up onto the city wall of Tongmen, before they could even untie the ropes around their waists, Wu Mei hurried over with quick steps, coldly smiling as she said: "See now? You talk about credibility, but enemies won't talk about credibility. Don't do such foolish things again!"

  Shaking off the hemp rope on his body, Tang Yin said calmly: "I only ask myself to be guiltless, as for what others think and do, that's their business."

  The charming girl raised her eyebrows, just about to speak, when the middle-aged general walked over and looked Tang Yin up and down before asking: "Who is this young brother?"

  "He's called Tang Yin!" Wu Mei introduced him and added, "The commander of my second infantry battalion."

  As soon as this was said, everyone present was stunned.

  Those who didn't know the inside story couldn't help but be amazed by Tang Yin, a battalion commander wasn't a small position, in charge of tens of thousands of people. Tang Yin looked like he was only in his early twenties, and had become a battalion commander at such a young age, which was quite unbelievable. It was likely that there was more to his relationship with Wu Mei than met the eye.

  Those who knew the inside story were even more shocked, Wu Mei had originally given Tang Yin the position of Qian Fu Lang, how did he suddenly become a battalion commander? This promotion was too fast!

  Qiu Zhen was the first to react, and he felt both shocked and delighted in his heart. He secretly pulled at Tang Yin's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Quickly thank General Wu!"

  Tang Yin didn't say a word, he just looked at Wu Mei in confusion. He had clearly offended her just now, so why wasn't Wu Mei angry? Instead, she even promoted herself to a higher position?

  Actually, Mai also has her own thoughts.

  This time in the battle of Ningguo, her troops suffered heavy casualties and losses were severe. It was an urgent need for personnel at that time. Through contact with Tang Yan, it's not hard to see that he is a talented person with both bravery and strategy, so she needs to win him over. Moreover, she herself is very interested in Tang Yan and intends to keep him by her side.

  "This time you bravely captured Ning Guo's prince Yu Shang, saving me and everyone else. Giving you the corresponding reward is only natural, there's nothing to be surprised about." Wu Mei explained lightly, this sentence was both for Tang Yin and for others to hear.

  The defenders of Tongmen couldn't help but gasp in shock upon hearing this, and they began to reevaluate Tang Yin. This young man was actually able to capture the prince of Ningguo; it was simply unbelievable!

  The middle-aged general was also secretly surprised, earlier he had already noticed the prisoners escorted by Tang Yin on the city head, but did not expect that it would be the prince of Ningguo.

  No wonder Wumei and others could pass through the Ning army camp unimpeded, no wonder the Ning army only dared to follow from a distance and did not dare to get closer, now everything can be explained clearly.

  He didn't dare to show any disrespect towards Tang Yin, with a serious expression, he hastily said: "I am Zong Zhengguangxiao, the guardian general of Tongmen. Brother Tang, you can capture the enemy's commander-in-chief in the midst of ten thousand soldiers, truly a hero emerging from his youth, awe-inspiring!"

  Tang Yin secretly smiled to himself, thinking that he was able to capture Yu Shang, and it could be said that luck accounted for 30%, Yu Shang's carelessness accounted for 60%, and his own martial arts skills only accounted for 10% at most.

  He shook his head and said sincerely: "It's just that the other side was too careless, and I was too lucky."

  "Tang brothers are too modest!" Zong Zheng Guangxiao looked at Wu Mei and Wu Ying, bowed his head and said: "The two generals have had a hard journey, now you can rest in the Hangguan."

  All the way fleeing, eating not fragrant, sleeping uneasy, two sisters of Wu family are physically and mentally exhausted. Now safely back to Tongmen, in recent days mentioning the heart that finally fell back into place, Wu Mei and Wu Ying really feel both tired and weary.

  "Good." After a pause, she continued: "My subordinates are also exhausted. General Zong Zheng, please help me settle them down properly."

  "This is natural, General Wu will surely be at ease!" replied Zong Zhengguo repeatedly.

  "General Zong Zheng will accompany me on a trip, I want to learn more about the situation in Tongmen." As she spoke, Wu Mei turned back and winked at Tang Yin, smiling sweetly: "Tang Yin, you come with me too."

  Tang Yin had no opinion, and followed Wu Mei away. Qiu Zhenke, who was beside him, did not want to be left alone, so he plucked up the courage to follow Tang Yin closely, and seeing that Wu Mei did not stop him, he felt slightly at ease.

  Tongguan is not a town, but a military fortress. There are not many residents in the city, only tens of thousands of people, most of whom are construction workers and their families, and some are merchants.

  They went down the stairs along the city wall and walked into the city.

  On the road.

  Wu Mei's expression turned serious as she asked: "General Zong Zheng, how many troops are currently guarding Tongmen?"

  "Less than 20,000!" Zhong Zhengguo's face was bitter as he said: "When we went to war with Ning Guo, the garrison at Tongmen was almost completely withdrawn. If it weren't for some of the defeated soldiers fleeing back, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a total of 10,000 men!"

  "What about General Zi Yang?" The General Zi Yang that Wu Mei spoke of was named Zi Yang Hao Chun. The Zi Yang family, like the Wu family, was one of the four powerful aristocratic families in Feng Guo.

  Zi Yang Hao Chun is the commander of this expedition against Ning Guo, and also a hardliner within the Feng Guo royal court. It was precisely because he strongly advocated for war in front of the Feng Wang that this expedition against Ning Guo took place, and it can be said that he is the main culprit responsible for Feng Guo's disastrous defeat.

  "General Zi Yang has already returned to Yancheng. It is said that after the defeat of He Dong, the king was enraged and furious, and General Zi Yang's future is uncertain, and it may even affect the entire Zi Yang family. Moreover, the Wu family..." He stopped speaking at this point.

  Although Zong Zhenghao and Wu Jia have a very deep friendship, there are some things that can't be directly explained.

  Wu Mei understood his meaning and let out a light sigh, saying: "The Wu family can't stay out of this either, right?"

  Zi Yang Hao Chun took the initiative to ask for battle, and Wu Jia was also strongly supportive. Now that the war is unfavorable, with heavy casualties and losses of generals, Wu Jia's involvement is naturally expected.

  "It's fortunate that the king is of a simple and honest nature, so it shouldn't be too difficult for the dancers." Zong Zheng Guang Hao comforted.

  She smiled and waved her hand, saying: "Don't mention the dance family anymore, let's talk about you. With just those 20,000 people on your side, do you think you can really defend Tongmen? From my observation, the Ning army has more than 40 million soldiers. Even if Tongmen's defense is as strong as gold, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be lost." After thinking for a moment, she asked again: "By the way, didn't Yancheng send any reinforcements?"

  "Of course, you can send reinforcements."

  "Who is leading?"

  "Liáng Qǐ!"

  "Is it him?" Mei blinked her eyes and shook her head repeatedly.

  The Liang family is also one of the four major powers in Fengguo, and Liang Qizheng is the eldest son of the Liang family.

  The four major powers of the Wind Country are not at peace with each other, and for their own interests, they scheme against each other, with contradictions piling up. The Liang family is the one that has the deepest feud with the Dance House. This time, when marching to Ning Country, the Liang family was firmly opposed to it, and none of its ten battalions were dispatched under its command, which instead allowed the Liang family's strength to be preserved.

  PS: Today, I finally finished writing this chapter. Nowadays, the six paths have very little time to rest every day, and they are always thinking carefully about writing the best things for the bad egg fans. During the Spring Festival, the six paths will also work hard to code words, hoping that everyone can give the six paths some collections, recommendation votes, etc., which are free! The six paths thank you all here!

  Additionally, many XDJM said they saw Bad Egg 3 outside, so I'm making this declaration: I, Liu Dao, have only written Bad Egg 1 and Bad Egg 2, the others are not written by me! I also haven't authorized anyone to write it! Everyone wants me to continue writing Bad Egg 3, and I will, but not now. From Bad Egg 1 to Bad Egg 2, I spent over 7 years writing, and I'm really tired. Currently, I need to change my mindset to write new things. After finishing Tang Yan, I'll continue writing Bad Egg! Thank you!

  "The Great Wind Song" is "Tang Yin in Another World"!
