Chapter 93 Qinglong City

"Young master, there is a small town in front of us. Shall we capture it?"

After entering Qinglong County, A Da, who was in charge of reconnaissance, landed beside Ye Chen from the sky.

"No, as long as the garrison in the small city doesn't come out to harass us, we will ignore it and go straight to Qinglong City to capture it."

Hearing A Da's report, Ye Chen replied without any hesitation.

Soon, a small town with its doors closed appeared in Ye Chen's vision.

Ye Chen casually glanced at the small city and only saw a famous soldier wearing leather armor and holding sharp weapons standing on the wall of the small city in turn, looking nervously at Ye Chen and the 90,000 elite army behind him.

Seeing that the soldiers in the small city did not come out to stop his army, Ye Chen didn't care. He gently kicked the belly of the horse under his foot and galloped in the direction of Qinglong City. The 90,000 elites behind him looked at the soldiers in the town coldly and followed him. The direction of Qinglong City galloped away.

Looking at the back of Ye Chen and his party leaving and the dust left behind, the soldiers on the wall of the small city couldn't help but relax and secretly thanked the gods for their care.

"For good, they didn't attack the city directly, otherwise, my family would be in danger."

Looking at the back of Ye Chen and the 90,000 troops leaving, the city owner of the small town, a fat man with a big belly, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand and whispered to himself in a happy tone.

After a day and a night, Ye Chen's 90,000 army was a little tired. Ye Chen ordered to stop moving forward and station on the spot, let his 90,000 army rest, refresh, and force Qinglong City tomorrow.

"Lead Commander Zhao, according to the scout report, Ye Chen personally led 100,000 troops into Qinglong County. Now he is stationed in an open space 100 miles away from Qinglong City, and tomorrow he will attack Qinglong City. Should we organize people to give him a heavy blow when he is tired from his long journey?"

A strong man wearing silver armor, with a sharp sword hanging around his waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked at a middle-aged man in golden armor, red cloak, a pair of deer shoes, and a firm face.

"No, order the scouts to stare at Ye Chen's army from afar, transmit the movements of Ye Chen's army back in time, and mobilize the people in the city to organize all the elites in the city, form a reserve army, and prepare to climb the wall at any time to assist in defense.

At the same time, in the name of the city lord's mansion, an order was issued to recruit all the aristocratic captive slaves and guards in the city, the mercenaries hired by merchants to assist in defense, and all the rebels will be punished for conspiracy and kill without mercy!"

Hearing the words of the silver armored man, Zhao Hong, a middle-aged man in gold armor, pondered a little and said slowly.

"Your Excellency, it's not appropriate to recruit the slaves and guards of the noble merchants in the city! In this way, it is likely to cause the dissatisfaction of these noble businessmen, which is extremely unfavorable to the future of adults.

As soon as Zhao Hong's voice fell, the silver armored man changed his face and quickly persuaded him.

"There is nothing wrong! Do as I ordered, and I will bear all the responsibilities alone!"

Hearing the persuasion of the silver armored man and seeing the worry on his face, Zhao Hong's eyes flashed a trace of relief and said without changing his mind at all.

"Yes, Commander!"

Hearing Zhao Hong's words and seeing the perseverance on his face, the silver armored man hesitated a little and nodded and shouted.

Looking at the back of the silver armor man leaving, Zhao Hong's face showed a bitter smile, and his eyes shone with deep worry. He couldn't help whispering to himself, "Do we still have a future?"

Sun Wei's solemn face before leaving made Zhao Hong understand that the strength of Ye Chen's army was extremely strong, and the defensive power of Qinglong City could not make his opponent at all.

Thinking about it, 100,000 elite troops and 20 holy soldiers of the Wu Kingdom were all defeated under Ye Chen's army. How can a small Qinglong city reach the army under Ye Chen's command?

However, Zhao Hong is not a person who is afraid of life and death. If he wants him to surrender to Ye Chen without fighting, he still can't do it. He is ready to mobilize all his strength and fight with Ye Chen's army to the death, worthy of Sun Wei's kindness to him.

The sun fell from the sky and disappeared under the sea. The moonlight rose from under the sea and hung high in the sky, sprinkled a piece of bright moonlight, making the dark continent a little light.

In the pavilion in the backyard of the city owner's mansion, Zhao Hong, who frowned and thought about the enemy's strategy, suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps. He couldn't help twisting his head and look at it. He only saw a servant of the city owner's mansion, with a worried face, hurried to his side.

"Lord, Lord, Lord, it's not good, it's not good, the eldest lady, the second lady, the third lady, with a large number of fine soft, left the city's mansion in the direction of the west gate under the protection of the elite guard."

He hurried to Zhao Hong's side. The servant of the city lord's mansion looked at Zhao Hongdao with an anxious face.

"How long have they been away?"

Hearing the servant's words, Zhao Hong quickly got up and asked loudly.

"Your Excellency, Madam, they have just left."

Hearing Zhao Hong's question, the servant replied quickly.

As soon as the servant's voice fell, Zhao Hong moved and left the backyard of the city master's mansion like lightning and headed in the direction of the west gate.

The 90,000 troops under Ye Chen's command are coming. Qinglong City is not safe, but it is more dangerous outside. There are a large number of Ye family detectives hidden. Once the eldest ladies leave Qinglong City, they will definitely be targeted by Ye family detectives and fall into the hands of Ye Chen.

"Open the gate!"

A woman dressed in brocade, wearing exquisite hairpins, tall and beautiful, with pride on her face, her hands on her waist, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes from time to time. She stared at the garrison officer fiercely and scolded loudly.

"Madam, the leader has an order. No one is allowed to leave the city without his order! If we let you go without permission, we will be executed! Please forgive me!"

Hearing the scolding of the beautiful woman, the officer guarding the city replied solemnly and loudly.

"You dare not listen to your wife's orders. Don't you want to die!"

Seeing that the garrison officer did not buy it and was unwilling to open the gate, the escort of the beautiful woman immediately stepped forward, pulled out his long sword, pointed to the garrison officer with the tip of his sword and threatened loudly.

"Protect your lord!"

Hearing the threatening words of the beautiful woman guard, hundreds of soldiers guarding the city roared instantly, pulled out the weapon from her, aimed at the beautiful woman's guard, and may launch a fierce attack on her at any time.

"How dare you point your weapons at the city lord's wife? You don't want to die! Put down the weapon in your hand quickly!"

Seeing that hundreds of soldiers under his command pointed their weapons at the beautiful woman one after another, the officer guarding the city changed his face and quickly scolded loudly.

The beautiful girl saw hundreds of soldiers who slowly put down their weapons under the scolding of the defense officers, and still looked at her cold eyes. She couldn't help but feel tight and her face was a little ugly.

She didn't expect that a small gate official would not buy the account of her majestic city owner's wife and instructed her soldiers to point weapons at her, which made her extremely dissatisfied and prepared to find an opportunity to humiliate her fiercely and get rid of her.

"Madam, why did you come here? It's not safe here. Please go back to the city master's mansion.

Seeing that the beautiful girl and her group were blocked at the gate, Zhao Hong's face showed a trace of relaxation and quickly greeted them and said respectfully.

"Hmm! These are the good soldiers under you who dare to point at yourself with weapons!"

Seeing Zhao Hong coming, the beautiful woman knew that she would not want to go out of the city, so she was angry, and a cold light flashed in her eyes and pointed to the official guarding the city.

"I'm sorry, madam! This is my teaching, which shocked my wife. Please go back to the city master's mansion first. I will definitely teach them a good lesson and give my wife an explanation!"

Hearing the beautiful girl's words, Zhao Hong quickly said respectfully.

"Hmm! I'm waiting for you to give me an explanation!"

The beautiful woman is the wife of the city owner. She is very good at intrigue and observing words. How can she not see that Zhao Hong is perfunctory!

However, Sun Wei abandoned them and fled alone, and Zhao Hong was the military leader of Qinglong City. The whole Qinglong City was under its control. Even if she was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to snort coldly and return in the direction of the city owner's mansion.

After the beautiful girl and her party went away, Zhao Hong reached out and patted the guarding officer on the shoulder and said, "What's your name?"

"Lord, my name is Zhao Yi!"

Hearing Zhao Hong's words, Zhao Yi quickly replied loudly.

"Zhao Yi! You did a good job! I remember you!"

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zhao Hong's eyes showed a trace of appreciation and praised loudly.

In the mansion of Viscount Ross, the largest nobleman in Qinglong City, dozens of nobles and merchants gathered together and quietly waited for the arrival of Viscount Ross.

"Hm, everyone. You should already know the purpose of my intensive gathering of everyone this time! If you have any ideas, just let them know."

Viscount Ross, wearing a mink coat, hands full of various rings and a ruddy face, walked into the conference hall, sat on the main seat, looked at dozens of nobles and merchants below, and said faintly.

"Lord Ross, Baron Ye Chen personally led 100,000 troops to attack. Qinglong City is not the opponent of his army at all. We must not defend Qinglong City with Zhao Hong!"

"Lord Ross, 100,000 elite troops and 20 holy soldiers in Wu are not the opponents of Ye Chen's army. Qinglong County will soon fall into Ye Chen's hands. Instead of waiting for the city to break down and become Ye Chen's prisoner, it is better for us to take the initiative to surrender in exchange for a wealth. , the worst can also protect our property and personal safety.

"、、"

As soon as Viscount Ross's voice fell, a businessman and nobleman named Qinglong City stood up one after another and expressed his opinions loudly, all of whom advocated surrender and did not want to defend Qinglong City with Zhao Hong.

For these aristocratic merchants in Qinglong City, every move of Qinglong City is closely followed by them. Ye Chen led a large army to invade Qinglong County and stationed a hundred miles away from Qinglong City. Tomorrow, he will be under Qinglong City. Sun Wei abandoned his three wives and fled alone. Zhao Hong was ready to defend Qinglong City. The news of coexistence and death with Qinglong City can't be hidden from them at all.

Ye Chen's army is so powerful that Sun Wei has fled. Of course, these upper-class people in Qinglong City are unwilling to coexist with Qinglong City.

For these aristocratic merchants who are used to enjoying themselves, their personal and property security is the most important thing. As for who is the ruler, as long as they infringe their interests too much, they will not care!

"I understand what you mean. However, the 50,000 troops in Qinglong City are in the hands of Zhao Hong. The mercenaries and guards under our command were also gathered together under Zhao Hong's forced request and obeyed his command. We are powerless to resist at all. How can we surrender to Ye Chen!"

Hearing the words of dozens of nobles and merchants, Ross shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said lightly.

"Lord Ross, there are two nine-level soldiers in my house, and dozens of dead soldiers can use it."

"Lord Ross, there is also a nine-level warrior in my house, which can be used by more than a dozen dead soldiers."

"、、"

As soon as Ross's voice fell, a noble businessman replied loudly.

How can these nobles and businessmen not have any hidden power! Now the situation is critical. If they can't make the right decision before Qinglong City is broken, and wait for Ye Chen to enter Qinglong City and launch a campaign against them, their personal and property safety will not be guaranteed. Therefore, they will take out their strength at the bottom of the box and fight for a first-line opportunity for themselves.

"Very good, everyone will gather these masters and dead men tonight to find an opportunity to capture Zhao Hong and present the city to Ye Chen in exchange for a wealth."

Hearing the words of dozens of nobles and businessmen, a faint smile appeared on Ross's face.
