Chen Rong wrinkled her brow and yelled: “Enough nonsense, go on”

Hearing her resolute voice and thinking of her conduct when they had entered the city gates, he nodded and gave his reply: “Aye”

The carriage drove to West Street where Sun Yan was staying

Chen Rong had found out that there were about twenty thousand soldiers in Mo’yang, with the addition of two thousand ht with hi with the uards In total, they had much more manpower than the Hu

Nonetheless, the opposition was led by the God of War, Murong Ke! In this world, he was only second to Ran Min in eneral who perennially wore a mask to the battlefield was notably crafty in his tactics

Furthero to battle, the twenty thousand soldiers in Mo’yang weren’t nearly as good as Sun Yan’s two thousand uards e, Chen Rong organized the infor her s she had heard in the past

While Chen Rong was pondering, the carriage stopped and Old Shang announced at the sa huate appeared before her eyes Sun Yan’s two thousandon the tower

She hopped down and strode forward

Soldiers were standing like an unround to the top Their eyes did not shi+ft when they saw the pretty lad Chen Rong

She began to climb the steps

She had scarcely e into her ears: “The world is without heroes and so begins an illegitin The barbarians run rampant and the Hans’ bones are laid under the snow…”

She looked back to see a raggedy beggar dragging his leg forward, tapping on his broken bowl His bleak voice drew long to har wind Suddenly, the world was cloaked under a frightening chill

Watching hi: This man is literate and hassouth Not only is he reduced to begging on the street, but he also can no longer guarantee the safety of his life Not a sentilance before continuing to stride forward

She soon reached the tohere she raised her clasped hands to a guard and asked, “Is General Sun here?”

When he saw that she earing a noble outfit and footwear, the guard knew she belonged to the gentry He at once respectfully replied, “General Sun has gone to see the one to see the mayor She raised her voice to say: “I have important business with him Please let me wait for him inside”

“Aye”

She had only entered when she heard the guard whisper: “This young lad looks just like a ure Unfortunately, so to be killed like us”

For whatever reason, the people in this era had always cherished and valued young, beautiful et killed hi

Chen Rong cauest hall and chose a corner to sit It was dark, significantly blurring her figure and facial features

Time trickled by

A while later, a tired voice sounded: “Aren’t we supposed to be a team? Clearly, the mayor only wants it his way Had I known the nobles in Mo’yang are so united, I wouldn’t have brought runtled voice had belonged to Sun Yan

Another voice, gruff, exclai Ke’s tactic of surrounding three while letting one go is written in the Art of War But if the mayor doesn’t say it’s a ruse then he calls it a bluff Fine, we’ll let theate”

At this juncture, Sun Yan harru retainers are better than these noble’ya is renowned But every ti opens his mouth, theQilang? Let’s gather all the troops and break out fro’s eyes lit up upon hearing these words Her hands knotted together as her hope rose

The second voice started again after a short pause: “The barbarians arrived too suddenly… as if there’s so they’re after”

Sun Yan absently huatekeeper said at this ti for you He’s been waiting for a long tiuest hall”

He only relayed the facts without recalling that Sun Yan was beautiful hieneral hated “pretty” as a word used to describe ot it Go”

The hed “A pretty lad? How does he co General Sun?”

“Shut your fuckin trap!” Sun Yan shouted before stalking away

Clad in armor and with a weary face, Sun Yan soon strode in He searched around thequickly got up when she saw hiave a start and waved his hand: “Out, everybody out forHe did not seem to mind Sun Yan’s rudeness He only cocked his head to study Chen Rong and then looked back at Sun Yan “Quite like a pair of sculpted statues,” he murmured after a while

“Men!” Sun Yan barked

“Present!” Two guards ca captain and shouted, “Kick this guy out for ly co that he really got ht, I’ll leave” By the time he reached the door, he still peered back inside with a rather annoying look He glanced at Chen Rong, then at Sun Yan, gave a sigh, glanced back at Chen Rong, then at Sun Yan, and sighed again…

After Sun Yan dis, took her hands and shakily said, “Why did you corily yelled: “Ah Rong of the Chen house, do you knohere we are? Do you know the consequences of being here?”

Chen Rong wanted to cry when she saw the intensity of his concern Looking up at him, she suddenly said in a decisive tone: “I kno to break out of here!”

Sun Yan stilled He placed his hand on Chen Rong’s forehead and questioned, “Little girl, do you knohat you’re saying?”

Chen Rong steadily held her gaze and repeated herself: “I kno to take you guys out of here!”

Sun Yan tilted his head His beautiful face was full of doubt He reached out and pressed on Chen Rong’s forehead When he saw her brightly staunch eyes, he raised an eyebrow and released her He next stepped back and took a seat across fro seated, he picked up a bottle of wine, took a swig, then eyed Chen Rong and said, “Repeat that again!”

Chen Rong took her tiracefully sit down She overlapped her hands on her knees, straightened her back, stared at hi for Sun Yan to respond, she lowered her voice to continue: “But I won’t tell you how I know, or do I want to tell you Sun Yan, I just know that by the Ox hour at dawnlight tonight, the Hu soldiers at the south gate will suddenly be called away, leaving only three thousand of the Ke, and will not be united This will be our only chance of survival”

Sun San suddenly stared at Chen Rong and asked, “Did wang Qilang tell you this?”

Chen Rong wasn’t sure what he was talking about

“Just noang Qilang had carefully suggested this again, but he hadn’t offered any specifics He only said we should gather all of our troops and break out froht, and perhaps we’d have so didn’t listen to hi Ah Rong, what do youhis words?”

“Is that what he also said?” Chen Rong ht that revealed wistfulness in her eyes “It turns out he doesn’t have any other way either…”

Sun Yan watched her expression in perplexity

She collected herself, then looked up at him and decisively said, “If they don’t listen to us, then that’s their proble your two thousand soldiers and the wang house’s retainers, then break out froht!”
