After climbing over two mountains, the majestic Yangnan City suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Looking back, I could still vaguely hear the shouts and shouts of Xuntuo's army. In front of me, Yangnancheng was brightly lit, and it seemed that someone had been waiting here early.

Li Luo, who was leading the way, quickly came to Xiao Chen and bowed: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the boundary of Yangnan City."

With a slight nod, Li Luo turned over and dismounted. In front of him, he could vaguely see a column of people and horses running towards him quickly. Behind him, the movements of Xuntuo's army were getting closer and closer.

As the saying goes, there are wolves in front and pursuers behind, and the current situation is nothing more than that.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wu Liang came to Xiao Chen's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, how about we avoid the limelight first?"

Xiao Chen smiled deeply, shook his head and said, "No, Ye Zhichu and I are old friends, so we just happened to take this opportunity to meet him."

Wu Liang looked puzzled. He didn't understand why Xiao Chen made such a decision at this juncture. The prince who he was so familiar with before seemed to be becoming a stranger little by little. This strange feeling made him dare not say anything.

Neng nodded slightly.

The men and horses rushing in front quickly came to Xiao Chen and others. Looking at Xiao Chen, a soldier in armor asked:

"Your Excellency, is Xiao Chen, King of Yong'an?"

Xiao Chen nodded.

The soldier gently cupped his hands and said, "General Chang Yusen has been ordered by the prefect to come to greet the prince."

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It seems that Xuntuo's news is much faster than mine."

San Yusen's face remained as usual and he said nothing.

After getting on his horse again, Xiao Chen shouted to everyone: "Let's go to Yangnan."

Xiao Chen and his party walked slowly towards Yangnancheng, but Chang Yusen still stayed where he was, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, Xuntuo led the army and appeared in the eyes of the soldiers. When he saw San Yusen, Xuntuo rode up to the latter's side and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Xiao Chen?"

Chang Yusen glanced in the direction of Yangnancheng and said, "We're going to Yangnancheng."

"Okay!"

Xuntuo said that he was about to lead his troops towards Yangnancheng, but was interrupted by Chang Yusen's hand.

"Shang Yusen, what do you mean?" Looking at San Yusen who stopped him, Xuntuo frowned slightly.

Chang Yusen said solemnly: "I'm sorry, general. The prefect has an order. Entering Yangnan City is the prefect's business. I hope the general will not overstep his authority."

Xuntuo narrowed his eyes: "Ye Zhichu, does he want to take all the credit?"

San Yusen looked indifferent and said lukewarmly: "Whether it is credit or trouble, it is our internal affairs in Yangnan. But if the general insists on entering Yangnan City, it will be against His Majesty's will to have the general stationed in Huxiao City. The general is smart.

People are never stubborn, right?"

Xuntuo shouted angrily: "But Xiao Chen took away my Xuntuo people."

Sanyusen's eyes showed a hint of contempt: "The general is talking about that civilian woman, right?"

Xuntuo's face looked a little ugly and he said nothing.

San Yusen continued: "If you go to such great lengths to fight for a woman, are you really not afraid of His Majesty's wrath and punishment?"

"I would like to advise the general that everything should be done in moderation. By the way, the prefect also asked me to bring a message to the general. The prefect is also in Yangnan City now."

Xuntuo was startled when he heard this, and finally took a long breath and said feebly: "I understand."

Gently arching his hands towards Xuntuo, San Yusen led his guards and rode away.

Looking at San Yusen's leaving figure, Xuntuo clenched his fists fiercely.

"Ye Zhichu!"

After gritting his teeth and yelling angrily, Xuntuo punched the air hard.

Gemu hesitated for a moment and said: "General, Ye Zhichu has been demoted to Yangnan and is just a governor. Why should you be afraid of him?"

"Afraid?" Xuntuo sneered: "When has Xuntuo ever been afraid of Ye Zhichu?"

"Then general..."

"It's because of Master Li Song!" Xuntuo took a deep breath and said, "Although His Majesty has the final say in our Qian country, everyone knows that every military matter is arranged by Master Li Song.

Li Song is very close to Youxiang. The waves this old man can create in the country of Guizhou can drown you and me at will. If it is not necessary, I don't want to make things difficult for the Taiwei."

Gemu was a little unhappy and said, "Then let Xiao Chen go like this?"

"Xiao Chen!" Xuntuo looked fiercely in the direction of Yangnan and said in a deep voice: "I have never been so insulted since I joined the army. If Xiao Chen dares to touch my things, he must be prepared to welcome me

Preparation for fury.”

…

Yangnan City was brightly lit, and on top of the city tower, a figure was sitting alone under the moon. The bright white moonlight fell down, making his figure look extremely handsome.

Xiao Chen raised his head and took a deep look at Ye Zhichu on the tower. Counting this time, it was already the second time the two met.

The city gate opened wide, seeming to welcome Xiao Chen and everyone.

But the darkness seen along the city gate gave people a sense of bottomless fear, as if it was a vicious beast with a wide mouth, waiting for Xiao Chen to come to the door.

Wu Liang grabbed Xiao Chen who was walking forward and admonished: "Your Majesty, Ye Zhichu has always had issues with us. If we enter the city at this time, I'm afraid that Ye Zhichu has other agendas."

Xiao Chen raised his head and took a deep look at Ye Zhichu, who was drinking alone on the tower. It happened that Ye Zhichu also looked at Xiao Chen at this time, picked up the wine glass, and Ye Zhichu smiled and saluted Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and walked towards the city without looking back.

"Your Majesty..." Wu Liang wanted to persuade Xiao Chen again, but was interrupted by Ye Han shaking his head.

Looking at Xiao Chen's back, Ye Han murmured: "The Xiao Chen now is no longer the Xiao Chen you knew before."

Wu Liang seemed to understand, but said with a worried look on his face: "But I am worried that the prince will encounter any danger."

Ye Han spread his hands and said, "Being in Yangnancheng is the greatest danger."

After hearing this, Wu Liang thought about it and seemed to think it made sense. He immediately asked Ye Han: "Then what should we do now?"

Ye Han's eyes looked at the figure on the tower with extremely complicated eyes. For a moment, countless emotions flashed through his eyes, including anger, sadness, sorrow, and confusion. But he soon returned to normal.

"We are waiting here."

…

It is late at night, and the moon tonight is extremely bright. The bright moonlight shines on the earth, illuminating the tower as brightly as during the day.

Just like when he held a banquet in Tiger Roar City, Ye Zhichu placed the wine table in the most dazzling place of the tower.

There were a few side dishes, a plate of peanuts, and two bottles of wine on the table. Seeing Xiao Chen walking up to the tower, Ye Zhichu smiled slightly and made a gesture to Xiao Chen to sit down.

Xiao Chen sat down naturally, picked up a glass of wine, took a deep sip and said, "Your Excellency, it seems that you like to hold banquets in the tower."

Ye Zhichu stood up slowly and looked into the empty distance.
