"Let her go!"
Sikong Xuanche picked up the woman, took out a dagger and pressed it against Zeng Rou's face, "Fine! You cripple your martial arts and surrender, and I will release your woman."
"She is not my woman," Murong Yu coldly corrected.
Zeng Rou's eyes glistened with tears, "Brother Yu."
"I know you're saying this on purpose to protect her, but do you think I'll believe you?" Sikong Xuanche sneered.
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better do as I say, or I'll strip her naked and make her like her sister..."
At this moment, Zeng Xiao arrived. He had already opened the city gate and was about to rush to the other side to rescue the people. "Sikong Xuanche, release my sister."
Murong Yu's eyes darkened slightly. "Who told him to fight!"
“Brother, Zeng Xiao is just worried and confused. He wants to save his sister,” Murong Chen said.
"It's terrible! The prince of the Southern Qiang Kingdom and the prince of the Eastern Ling Kingdom have led their troops over."
"Close the city gates immediately!" Murong Chen ordered.
Murong Yu said, "Do not close the city gates! Immediately support General Zeng Xiao and engage in battle!"
"Brother, you can't go, it's too dangerous. I'll guard Kyushu City for you. You should lead your men to retreat and temporarily seek refuge in the border city!" Murong Chen hurriedly said.
Murong Yu picked up his spear but ignored him, determined to go and save people.
Many people begged him to retreat immediately.
We can simply abandon this city.
“In this way, both General Zengs will have sacrificed their lives,” Pei Shang said.
Sikong Xuanche had correctly predicted that Murong Yu would not abandon the Zeng siblings, after all, the Zeng family had been kind to him.
Giving up on them at this time would only breed resentment in the Zeng family.
If the forces are already insufficient, any further complications will be detrimental to the overall war situation.
"But now, if we don't retreat and something happens to the Emperor, it will be even more disadvantageous for us. Young Master Pei, you should persuade the Emperor to retreat!"
Pei Shang said, "The Emperor's decision will not be easily changed."
"Let's follow the Emperor into battle for now! We've already reached our doorstep; abandoning the city immediately isn't the best course of action."
War is about to break out.
Seven days and seven nights have passed.
Kyushu City was defended. Zeng Xiao was brought back but was seriously injured, while Zeng Rou was not rescued.
"Why didn't you go to save Rou'er?" Zeng Xiao grabbed Murong Yu's clothes and cursed as soon as he woke up.
"You've already killed one of my sisters, are you going to kill my last one too?"
His eyes were bloodshot, making him look like an orc who had just come out of a cage.
Murong Yu's expression was cold and aloof. He was also injured, but he calmly pushed him away.
Eunuch Fu rushed over and said, “General Zeng, this is not the Emperor’s fault. The Emperor has done his best. It was truly remarkable that he was able to save you and defend Jiuzhou City.”
“Miss Zeng will be fine for now, because they will use her to threaten the Emperor.” Pei Shang came over to support Zeng Xiao. “Don’t be impulsive, let’s heal your injuries first.”
Zeng Xiao sneered, "I only have one younger sister. If anything happens to her, I..."
Murong Yu glanced at him coldly, "I ordered you to leave Jinzhou City, why did you disobey?"
“Yes! If Miss Zeng hadn’t been trying to save you, she wouldn’t have been captured alive.” Eunuch Fu added, “General Zeng Xiao, you should have followed orders. Your recklessness will only harm Miss Zeng.”
Zeng Xiao's expression changed slightly. "Jinzhou City is our home. How can we just abandon it? If the Emperor had given Rou'er 10,000 troops to support me back then, Jinzhou City would not have been lost, and Rou'er would not have been captured alive."
