However, they couldn't care so much anymore. They needed to find a place to hide and avoid the pursuers. Seeing that the big doors of the Luyang City was opened and the commoners were casually entering and exiting the city, Fei Hong indicated with his mouth towards Liang Ming and the three of them swaggered towards the city gates.
”Young Master, don't be nervous. We have already escaped Dong Zhuo's territory and he can't catch up to us anymore. These people are all Yuan Shao's subordinates, they won't hurt us. ” Seeing Young Emperor Liu Bian a little flustered, Fei Hong immediately smiled at him and pretended to be relaxed.
”Since they are Yuan Shao's subordinates, why don't we go tell them?” Even though Young Emperor Liu Bian was timid, he was also very smart. After running for such a long distance, he was a little hungry. Seeing so many people eating and drinking, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
”Young Master, there are many dukes under Yuan Shao's command, each of them being their own master. They only follow Yuan Shao in name, we cannot trust others.” Fei Hong anxiously stood beside Liu Bian, preventing him from seeing the feast at the other side. ”If we do not meet Yuan Shao personally, we must not reveal our identity.”
The generals and officials who were enjoying their drinks did not notice that the three hunters had entered the Luyang City. Although the soldiers on sentry duty saw them, they did not alert them. Of all the people who came and went, there were so many dressed as hunters that no one paid any attention to them.
Even the soldiers guarding the gate did not spare them a glance. They had been stationed here for a year, but they had never seen a single soldier from the West Cold Army, not even one from the West Cold Army. Gradually, they seemed to have forgotten that this was war.
West Cold Army chased after them relentlessly, biting hard behind Fei Hong, Liang Ming and the others. They only had one thought, and that was to capture King Hong Nong, then they would have made a huge contribution, and what awaited them would be a rise in status.
But as they went further and further away, they slowly began to fear. Of course they knew that if they continued forward, they would reach the Guandong Allied Army's territory. They had never entered the Guandong Allied Army's territory before, so they did not know whether or not they would meet the Guandong Allied Army if they continued to chase after him.
They couldn't help but slow down, and even had plans to retreat. Although getting rich was a big deal, he still had to live to enjoy it. With just the scout s, if they rashly chased into the territory of the Guandong Allied Army, they might not even be able to catch up.
scout's movement was slightly slow, and the riders behind him caught up. When the scout saw the large troop of cavalry, they immediately became more confident and galloped after them again. But just as they were hesitating, Fei Hong, Liang Ming, and Young Emperor Liu Bian had already entered the Luyang City.
West Cold chased all the way to Luyang City and immediately saw a scene that astonished them. Under the winter sun, dozens of officers of the civil and military side were drinking and enjoying themselves on the high platform. Xiao Le shouted in unison and the audience was filled with mighty soldiers who seemed to be glaring at them.
These scout only had a little more than a hundred people, but they did not dare to act rashly in the face of so many soldiers. After all, the scout was not a combat unit. Their main task was to investigate the enemy's situation and not to charge in.
Not long later, Hu Zhen brought a large group of cavalry soldiers to the exit of the Luyang City. When he saw the feast that was going to take place in the Luyang City, he could not help but be shocked. After hearing scout's report, he asked doubtfully, ”Could it be that they are welcoming King Hong Nong?”
”Who cares what they are doing, let's attack. A single Charge is enough to teach them a lesson!” ”One of the cavalry generals raised his spear. He could not wait any longer and wanted to attack Sun Jian who was outside of Luyang City. If we let the King Hong Nong enter the city, we won't have the chance to catch him. ”
”Wait, be careful of any tricks!” Hu Zhen frowned, and stared for a long time. He noticed that the generals and officials drinking wine did not seem to panic at all, especially that tall and sturdy general, who was still toasting them one by one.
”If something abnormal happens, then it must be the demons. I'm worried that they have already set up an ambush!” Hu Zhen roughly estimated that there were more than three thousand Sun Jian soldiers outside of Luyang City, and his own cavalry was also more than three thousand. If he wanted to kill these generals and officials, it was more than enough.
”Are they trying to lure us in?” The cavalry general was also confused by Hu Zhen's words, and couldn't help but look around. But as far as the eye could see, there was nothing he could see. He was sure that the generals and soldiers below the city gate had seen them, but they did not have any reaction, and continued to drink and enjoy themselves.
In fact, Sun Jian had long since seen the over a hundred scout s, and his heart was filled with fear. He scanned the distance between the high platform and the city gate with his eyes. There was no way that a soldier could outrun a rider, as long as his own troops panicked and the West Cold launched a charge, he did not know how many generals and officials would be killed.
When the high-ranking officers and officials on the stage saw West Cold, they were all dumbstruck. Even Generals panicked, especially the soldiers, their eyes filled with fear. They looked at Sun Jian in fear, not knowing what to do.
