C52 (1/2)

Everything went on in silence under the cover of the night.

”Oh no, barbarian army has launched a sneak attack!”

Qian Yexun and Ban Xia were also startled by the commotion outside, the two of them started to panic and sat up. No one knew what exactly was happening outside, but a bad premonition struck them.

As they were talking, Ban Xia had already put on her clothes and came out.

”I'm going to the encampment.”

Qian Yexun explained in a low voice to Ban Xia, at the same time he was hesitating, leaving his woman alone here, he was afraid that this place would not be safe, at the moment, no one knew how terrible the situation outside was, although she was not by his side, although she had the ability to protect him, but what if an accident happened, and with the result, he had no way to forgive himself.

”I'll go with you!” Ban Xia understood the worry in his eyes and took the initiative to request.

Qian Yexun did not object, because at a time like this, if they were to be together, it would also relieve his worries.

”Let's go, there's no time to waste!”

The garrison was in chaos. There were countless number of guards going in and out of the city.

”Where are the General Hu people? In this situation, why didn't he come out and take command, where did he run off to? ”

Qian Yexun walked all the way to the meeting room of the camp, but he did not see the commander of the city, Hu Zhen.

After Zhang Liang caught a guard and questioned them in detail, he found out that Hu Zhen and his soldiers had already personally gone to the top of the city walls to fight against the enemy.

Qian Yexun stared at the map of the Banyan City, he had just rearranged the defenses of the Banyan City not long ago, even if there were spies in the city, they would not be able to spread the news so quickly and reach the people of the Barbarians.

But why did the Barbarians choose to attack the city so impatiently and launch an unpopular sneak attack? He really couldn't wrap his head around it.

”Zhang Liang, go investigate something for this king.”

Qian Yexun had doubts in his heart, so he called Zhang Liang over and whispered some instructions into his ear.

Zhang Liang understood and quickly left.

”Come, let's go to the city wall and take a look at the situation.” At a time like this, Qian Yexun, as the king of this feudal fief, naturally would not stand idly by and watch.

If the Banyan City was not protected, then his feudal fiefdom was gone.

At that time, the person in the palace might yet again accuse him of some unwarranted crime, and accuse him of not being able to defend the city.

Thus, whether it was in the public or the private, the Banyan City could not be captured or lost.

Otherwise, he would not be able to face even the citizens of the city.

On the high city walls, countless torches illuminated half the sky. Countless arrows were sent to the top of the city wall. The city gate was already reinforced and more men were sent to guard it.

”The Prince is here!”

Some sharp-eyed guard was the first to notice Qian Yexun's arrival and shouted loudly. The rest of the guards also turned their heads, and within the guards' eyes, were disdain, contempt, and reverence, all mixed and complicated emotions.

Hu Zhen was indeed personally guarding the city wall, and below the city wall, countless barbarians had gathered, approaching aggressively, as if they were going to attack.

”What's going on?” Qian Yexun did not care about the expression in the guards' eyes, and walked straight to Hu Zhen's side.

Ban Xia followed closely behind, carefully observing her surroundings. If there was anyone who dared to be disrespectful to this couple, she would definitely not be courteous to them.

The couple had only just arrived at Banyan City, and it was their first time here. It was normal for the city guards and generals to be unsatisfied with this sickly Prince Qian Yexun.

”Your Royal Highness, you saw it too. It was a surprise attack by barbarians in the middle of the night.” Hu Zhen's expression was extremely uneasy.

Although the city gates were not broken, the other defenses within the city were all destroyed. Their losses and casualties were extremely heavy.

If he could not protect the current barrier between the city gate and the city wall, then he, as a high-ranking officer, deserved to die a thousand times for his crimes!

Zhang Liang hurried over, but brought a bad news.

Zhang Liang went closer to his master and whispered a few words into his master's ears. His voice was so soft that only the master and servant could hear him.'s panicked expression just now and his gloomy expression after hearing his subordinate's report made it clear that it was not good news.

Hu Zhen lowered his head, his expression becoming more and more uneasy.
