Chapter 422: The Untrustworthiness of the Blue Country
I will certainly fulfill it. An Xue Tang, you may choose what reward you desire from me"A slight, enigmatic smile curved An Xuetang's lips. The Emperor had let her make her own demands—wasn't he jus...Upon hearing An Xuetang's question, Yun San and Feng Ming subconsciously exchanged glances. Yun San then cupped his hands and slowly explained.
It turned out that the night An Xue Tang and Mo Jun Yi left, Yun San discovered something was wrong outside the city not long after.
Their northern army actually had a garrison outside the city. On a daily basis, if something happened, the soldiers stationed outside would send messages via carrier pigeons or have messengers rush back to the city to report.
After learning about the war, they made an agreement in the Beijang military camp: to send a letter every hour to prevent something from happening at their stationed point. The people inside the city didn't know this.
But even after two hours passed that night, there was still no word from the outpost outside the city.
Yun Sanbian sensed that something had happened outside the city, preventing them from returning to send a message. He also suspected that the soldiers stationed outside the city were likely killed. That's why he rushed to meet Feng Ming that night to discuss the situation.
After Yun San explained the matter to Feng Ming, Feng Ming didn't utter a single word of nonsense and immediately went out of the city to investigate in person.
As expected, a large number of cavalry arrived outside the city, at least ten thousand strong. They were trying every means to get into the city!
At this moment, Fengming was also fortunate that he had gone out to check the situation. If anyone else with lower light gong skills had been there, they would have probably been discovered and silenced long ago.
These tens of thousands of cavalry were able to appear outside Beijang City without making a sound. It shows that their martial arts skills are profound and their stealth abilities are very strong.
If these tens of thousands of cavalry were to attack the city, it would probably not be a difficult task.
Fortunately, the Northern Frontier army had An Xue Tang's explosives. Even with millions of cavalry, they were still vulnerable to such powerful weapons.
After Feng Ming returned, he told Yun San about the incident. Yun San then followed him out of the city with explosives.
As two men were leaving the city with explosives strapped to their backs, they happened to run into those people who were slowly approaching the city gate.
Feng Ming immediately decided to throw the explosives directly, otherwise waiting for them to get closer to the city gate, they would destroy the wall if they threw the explosives again.
Because those people were cavalry and on the move, even if Feng Ming and Yun San managed to detonate four explosives, they couldn't wipe them all out.
Over ten thousand cavalrymen, half of them died, and the other half were more or less injured, but they still got away.
Feng Ming chased them all the way, but those cavalrymen finally disappeared into the territory of Xiliang.
Because of what happened that night, the people in Beijiang City thought the enemy had reached the city walls. Therefore, they have been keeping their doors shut these past two days and dared not go out.
This caused An Xuetang's return to find the usually bustling city deserted, with not a single person in sight.
After hearing Yun San's explanation, An Xue Tang fell silent for a moment, then looked at Feng Ming, "Brother, you said they disappeared within the territory of Xiliang, could it be that they are people from the Xiliang Kingdom"
Feng Ming and Yun San denied in unison, "No."
Yun San shook his head and continued, "The people of Xiliang are not good at riding horses, and they can't find so many male cavalrymen within their territory."
Xi Liang Guo is a matriarchal society. Men are actually quite weak, and most of the soldiers who fight on the battlefield are women.
For so many years, the custom of female dominance and male submission in the Western Liang kingdom has long since rendered those men useless!
So Feng Ming and Yun San could both be certain that those martial arts experts on horseback were definitely not men from Xiliang.
An Xuetang frowned, "Since they weren't soldiers from the Western Liang Kingdom, how could they have disappeared within its borders Could the Western Liang Kingdom have provided them with some kind of assistance"
Feng Ming nodded slightly, "I also suspected this matter. They could disappear from under my nose in an instant, someone within the territory of Xi Liang must have received them."
An Xuetang fell silent for a moment. These tens of thousands of cavalry were not from the Great Yue country, nor were they from the Xiliang country. Who could they be
Which army could field tens of thousands of highly skilled cavalryn gave him wasn't just to deliver a message to Mo Yunjing.His most important mission this time is to kill all of Mo Yunjing's trusted aides and leave him with no one he can rely on.This is his ultimat...
