Chapter 123: Fleeing Back to the Southern Cloud Kingdom (2/2)

Whether the fallen soldiers could go back or not, it would only depend on their luck.

“Let’s not go to the original camp and go directly to Qingfeng City!” Shen Yan pointed to the simple map and said, “The worst estimate is that all of our legions involved in this attack were ambushed, the entire Purple Thorn Army suffered heavy losses and lost the ability to confront the Black Iron Army head-on, the Purple Thorn Army retreated in its entirety and moved into the city, turning into a defensive state, if we go back to the camp, we might pounce and if we are unlucky, we might even meet a large force of the Black Iron Army. It is better to enter the Clear Wind City directly, the distance is not too far, and is not a strategic location, safer, and can also get supplies, many brothers need to rest.”

Shiqi nodded and said, “Qingfeng City is good!”

After entering the Southern Cloud Kingdom territory, the marching speed slowed down, and after rushing out for four days, they finally arrived outside Qingfeng City at noon.

The gates of Qingfeng City were tightly closed, and there were city guards holding the city walls, and there were quite a few of them.

“Who are you, don’t come any closer!” They had just approached the city when the soldiers standing on the walls shouted.

Shen Yan shouted, “We are from the Sixth Army of the Purple Thorn Army, you guys hurry up and open the city gates and let us in!”

“Wait, we will go report to the Lord Commander immediately!”

Soon, Jiang Jiankai, the commander of Qingfeng City, appeared at the city head, “You said you are from the Purple Thorn Army, then do you have a military order?”

“We are from the Sixth Army, we were ambushed by the Black Blood Kingdom halfway, so we are the only ones who escaped, open the city gates quickly!”

“No, you said you are the Purple Thorn Army, what if you are from the Black Blood Kingdom wearing the uniform of the Purple Thorn Army to fool me to open the gates?”

“Damn, a small city guard commander dares not let us in, I have never suffered such anger! Why don’t we just go together and take down Qingfeng City!” Shen Yan yelled.

Shiqi stood out and said, “Forget it, let me do it!”

“Brother, can you do it?”

Shiqi shouted loudly toward the city wall, “Jiang Jiankai, this is Chen Pengfei, hurry up and open the door!”

“You think you’re Chen Pengfei because you’re wearing a mask?” Jiang Jiankai slightly puzzled to look at him and continued to say, “You!? do you have any credentials?”

“Bai Feifei ……” Shiqi shouted out a person’s name and asked, “Do I need to be more specific?”

“No need, no need, you are my Older brother Chen, absolutely right!” Jiang Jiankai hurriedly stopped him from continuing to talk, and then his figure disappeared from the city wall.

Shen Yan said with some surprise, “I can’t tell, Brother Chen has good communication skills!”

Shiqi smiled and didn’t say anything. His partnership with Jiang Jiankai was not easy to say.

It didn’t take long for the city gate to open, Jiang Jiankai smilingly went out and greeted them warmly, “Elder brother Chen, hurry up and enter the city.”

After Shiqi introduced him to the Purple Thorn Army Commander Shen Yan, Jiang Jiankai was frightened into a cold sweat.

It was true to say that a group of Purple Thorn Army who had just suffered a defeat needed to rest, and Shen Yan did not bother with him for the sake of Shiqi.

At the dinner table, Shiqi also inquired Jiang Jiankai for information, and learned that the Purple Thorn army had withdrawn to the Purple Thorn City, the city guards on the borderline commander received the news, into a state of war, let them strengthen the defense, the Black Blood Kingdom may attack at any time.

As for why the Purple Thorn Army retreated to Purple Thorn City, Jiang Jiankai did not receive a clear notice at that time. But now, Jiang Yan Kai understood.

After resting in the city for two days, leaving some of the soldiers whose wounds had deteriorated and were unfit to continue the journey in the city, Jiang Jiankai would definitely take good care of them, while the others hurriedly set off in the direction of Purple Thorn City.
