960. Chapter 960 Retreat

There was civil strife in Beiming. Because all the domestic generals and elite soldiers were sent to the wilderness, Beitang Yu couldn't find anyone to suppress the unruly people who were causing chaos everywhere, so he had to order Hai Gang to quickly lead his troops back to the northern capital to protect them.

Haigang sighed a few times when he received the imperial edict. He knew that in the emperor's mind, he still wanted to use Wan Ziliang to obtain the Kingdom of Jin.

Alas, the emperor really underestimated Mo Rongzhan, how could Jin Guo be defeated so easily.

"Send the order and order 20,000 troops to follow me back to Beidu." Hai Gang ordered the deputy general.

"General, if we go back, what will happen to Anhe City?" the deputy general asked. There are not many soldiers left in Anhe City. If they take away another 20,000, they will be no match for Xiazhou.

Hai Gang silently glanced in the direction of the city wall, "Then we can only leave it to fate. If the emperor cares about Anhe City, he will not order me to go back. We still count on Wan Ziliang. When the time comes, he has the ability and Mo Rongzhan negotiation."

"The Emperor values ​​Wan Ziliang too much. It's not a good thing to risk everything like this." said the deputy general.

Haigang chuckled, "Otherwise, what can I do? What will happen to General Jin?"

The deputy general thought of General Jin, and as expected he stopped talking.

When Qi Ruoshui learned that Hai Gang was going to lead troops back to the northern capital, she couldn't sit still even if she wanted to pretend to be calm. The priest's hall was sealed off. As the most respected Witch King in Xiliang, he was now regarded as a sinner. The reason was that It was to frame the King and Queen of Xiliang. Those who were loyal to her have been assassinated. Now she only has the confidants from the original priest palace to use. Even Tuoba Qiu, who could regain her rights for her, was killed by Ye Yiqing. Now she can What he was counting on was the Beiming Kingdom, which was in alliance with him.

"General Hai, what do you mean by your emperor?" Qi Ruoshui went directly to Hai Gang and asked.

Hai Gang doesn't want to see Qi Ruoshui recently. This woman is much more annoying than he thought. She still refuses to give up even though she knows that the situation is over. Wan Ziliang's alliance with her was probably with bad intentions and was probably more exploitative. Many, now that Wan Ziliang's army has successfully entered Xiliang, there is definitely no need for the lost Witch King. She expects Wan Ziliang to help her regain her power, which is all a fool's dream.

"Witch King, now we cannot protect ourselves. There is a rebellion in the northern capital. I have to go back and suppress the rebels." Although Hai Gang doesn't like Qi Ruoshui, considering that she is the Witch King of Xiliang, he is still a good friend. Speak kindly.

Qi Ruoshui had already heard about the civil unrest. She didn't believe that Hai Gang needed to lead troops back for this matter. "Isn't it just a few women and children gathering together to create trouble? Isn't it possible that no one in your northern capital can suppress it? You are needed." Can a general who is resisting foreign enemies on the border go back?"

If only it were that simple! Since the emperor had ordered him to go back, it proved that this civil strife was definitely not that easy. He had also heard that some hooligans who had escaped the conscription were gathering to cause trouble. Some people also said that there were heavy casualties in Anhe City. Women and children have nothing to fear when public anger is aroused, but it is different when the women and children of the entire Beiming Kingdom unite to resist.

"Witch King, no matter what, I can't disobey the emperor's will." Hai Gang said.

"General Hai, if you leave, do you plan to give up Anhe City just like that?" Qi Ruoshui knew that she could not stop Hai Gang's decision to return to Beidu City. We can't stay in the city for long.

Wuming went to take Lu Yaoyao back but she hadn't come back yet, so she had to wait until he caught Lu Yaoyao.

Haigang smiled and said, "I only took away 20,000 troops, and there are 30,000 left here to defend the city. Murong Zhan will not attack the city so easily."

Qi Ruoshui looked at him coldly, "This is the first time I have seen a general like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Who is not afraid of death?" Hai Gang shook his head, "Witch King, I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but I still want to advise you that you should not stay in Anhe City for a long time. It is better not to do the things you are planning. You underestimate Mo. Rong Zhan."

"I don't understand why you are so afraid of a young boy. What capabilities can he have? If it weren't for Muronghui being weak and useless, Murongzhan would still be just a down-and-out prince. If you were willing to send troops, Xiazhou would already be yours. Yes." Qi Ruoshui hummed.

Haigang just shook his head and smiled at Qi Ruoshui's arrogance.

"General, you're ready." Someone came in from outside and said to Haigang.

"Witch King, I'm going to say goodbye. You can take care of yourself." Hai Gang nodded to Qi Ruoshui and walked out of the tent.

Qi Ruoshui glared at his back and almost fell back in anger. She now regretted her alliance with the Beiming Kingdom, but at this point, she had no room for regret.

Chu Li walked slowly behind her, "Witch King, Lu Yaoyao was indeed taken away by Lu Lingzhi, and Wu Chai was killed by him."

"Lu Lingzhi's wings are stiff." Qi Ruoshui's face darkened, "He even dares to kill my people, so Wuming doesn't have to be merciful and come back to me with his head."

…

…

Compared with the panic in Anhe City, the military camp in Xiazhou seemed much calmer and more relaxed, except for Mo Rongzhan who had just learned that Ye Zhen had been taken away by Lu Lingzhi.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are useless and failed to protect the Queen." Sun Jun knelt down in front of Mo Rongzhan and said guiltily.

"How did Lu Lingzhi know where you are?" Mo Rongzhan asked angrily.

He thought he would see Ye Zhen soon, but he didn't expect that Lu Lingzhi actually took her away, and Yaoyao fell into Lu Lingzhi's hands... Mo Rongzhan couldn't imagine what would happen. That day he was in Bailongjiang Lu Lingzhi should be killed.

"We found Qianxue in the backyard, and it was Qianxue who brought Lu Lingzhi there," Sun Jun said.

Mo Rongzhan hit the table hard with his palm, and the heavy mahogany table shattered.

"Qianxue!" Mo Rongzhan said almost through gritted teeth, "You haven't killed her yet!"

"Your Majesty..." Sun Jun didn't dare to look at Mo Rongzhan, he lowered his head and didn't even dare to say anything.

Mo Rongzhan took a deep breath. There is no point in blaming anyone now. He was the one who let Qianxue go in the first place. If he wants to blame him, he must blame himself. "Do you know where Lu Lingzhi took the queen?"

"Back to the emperor, my subordinates and Master Shen chased each other in two directions. Lu Lingzhi should have taken the empress to Jizhou." Sun Jun said.

Jizhou? Did Lu Lingzhi want to take Yaoyao to Qi?

Murong Zhan said to Wu Chong in a cold voice, "Prepare your horses, I will go find the queen myself."

Anhe City is no longer a threat, and he can leave here with peace of mind. Instead of letting him wait here for news about her, he should go find her in person.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go find the Queen in person?" Wang Qu was stunned when he heard this.

"There is civil strife in Beiming. Beitang Yu will definitely ask Hai Gang to withdraw his troops. As long as the troops in Anhe City are reduced, you can lead the troops to attack there. All you need to do is capture Anhe City. I will decide other matters when I come back." Rong Zhan said calmly.

Wang Qu promised in a low voice.
