Chapter 1404 Zhao Qi Returns to the Imperial Capital

It must be said that after seeing the teleportation array with his own eyes, Chen Wende's ability to accept some strange things that happened to Wu Fan has greatly improved.

Bang, bang, bang!

At this time, the catapults outside the city began to attack again, and stones whistled again.

However, both Wu Fan and Chen Wende could see that the density of the stones flying from outside the city was significantly reduced. Obviously, this was because Wu Fan had seized many of the opponent's catapults.

"Since the opponent has started to attack again, we are also polite." Wu Fan said to Chen Wende.

At this time, the two had returned to the top of the city again, looking at the outside of the city from a distance.

"Yes, sir." Chen Wende responded, and then gave orders to the messenger beside him.

Not long after, stones flew out of Fengyu City and flew only outside the city.

After a short flight, the stones began to fall rapidly.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"It's a trebuchet, a trebuchet in the city!"

"Be careful!"

.......

The target of the stone is very large after all, so when it was in the air, the enemy outside the city discovered it. At that time, they had already started to dodge, so these stones did not cause much casualties.

But Wu Fan and Chen Wende used these trebuchets not to kill the enemy, at least not now. Their target was the few remaining trebuchets outside the city!

People can dodge quickly, but these trebuchets obviously can't. Trebuchets are generally large in size and move very slowly. Therefore, when those people outside the city found that the city was using trebuchets to attack, and the target of the attack was still them, they had no time to move the trebuchets.

Bump, bang!

Stones fell from the sky one by one. Although the accuracy of the trebuchet was not very high, it could not withstand the simultaneous attack of so many trebuchets. In a short period of time, the remaining trebuchets outside the city lost more than half, and this number continued to increase.

"Report!"

"Tell me! What's going on!"

"Sir, the trebuchets in the city attacked our trebuchet camp. All of our trebuchets were lost. Now there are only less than ten intact trebuchets left!" the messenger said.

"What?!" Cai Cheng's face changed drastically: "What's going on? How can the trebuchets in the city hit so far? What do those people in the trebuchet camp do for a living? Why can't they protect the trebuchets again and again?!"

The messenger lowered his head and remained silent, because he didn't know how to answer Cai Cheng's question.

"Report!" Another messenger ran over.

"Tell me!" Cai Cheng's voice became colder.

"Sir, all our trebuchets were destroyed by the enemy's attack." The messenger said.

"Waste, all waste!" Cai Cheng said angrily: "Everyone attack, capture Fengyu City!"

With Cai Cheng's order, the rebel troops outside the city began to gather again, and soon after, they began to move towards the wall of Fengyu City.

However, this time, what greeted them first was not the countless arrows in Fengyu City, but huge stones one after another.

The catapults in the city were still attacking!

Although the accuracy of the catapults was obviously not as good as that of arrows, they could not withstand the large number of enemy troops outside the city. Therefore, every huge stone that fell could almost cause some casualties. When the enemy troops outside the city continued to rush forward under the rain of huge stones, they were greeted by not only huge stones like raindrops, but also arrows like locusts!

With huge stones accompanying arrows, the casualties of the rebels outside the city increased sharply. When they finally rushed to the edge of the city wall, they had lost a lot of combat effectiveness, more than any previous time.

After that, the difficult and cruel city attack and defense war entered the white-hot stage again.

While the fierce battle was going on in Fengyu City, on the other side, a team of carriages came outside Yanyang City, the imperial capital of Yanfeng Kingdom.

"Your Highness the Seventh Princess, the imperial capital has arrived." Huang Ze came to a carriage and said respectfully.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a young and beautiful face, it was Zhao Qi who rushed back from Qingyuan County.

Looking at the familiar Yanyang City, Zhao Qi's face showed a complicated expression.

Once upon a time, Zhao Qi had always wanted to leave here, and during the time in Qingyuan County, she was indeed very happy. Without the constraints of the palace and so many rules, she was much more relaxed. The only thing that made her dissatisfied was that Wu Fan was always busy, and she didn't spend too much time with Wu Fan.

Now that she has left Qingyuan County, it is even more difficult to see Wu Fan. Although Zhao Qi doesn't know about the request for marriage from Tianji Country, she knows very well that once she returns to the imperial capital and the palace, it will not be so easy to come out again. I don't know when I will see Wu Fan again next time.

Perhaps, there will be no chance to see Wu Fan in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi felt lost.

"Let's go." Zhao Qi put down the curtain and said lightly.

The carriage continued to move forward, entering the imperial capital of Yanfeng Country and heading towards the palace.

Naturally, no one dared to stop the princess's carriage, and Zhao Qi's motorcade entered the palace unimpeded.

After arriving at the palace, Zhao Qi had no time to change her clothes, and hurried to find her father. She came back this time because she received the news that her father was seriously ill. Although she was reluctant to leave Qingyuan County, she was also very concerned about her father.

Along the way, Zhao Qi found that the eunuchs and maids in the palace seemed to look at her with some deep meaning, which made her feel a little puzzled, but she was worried about her father's illness, so she didn't stop.

Not long after, Zhao Qi saw her father, but she didn't see her father in her father's bedroom, but in the imperial study. Her father was also sick in bed, but was reading memorials.

"Father!" Zhao Qi stepped forward.

"Qier, you are back?" Zhao Lie saw Zhao Qi appear, and a kind smile appeared on his face, but this smile was full of guilt and apology, but Zhao Qi didn't notice this.

"Father, why did you get up? You should rest more at this time. Let the brothers handle these memorials." Zhao Qi said.

"Humph, if they are useful, do I need to work so hard?" The old emperor snorted coldly. He was quite dissatisfied with his sons and was not confident in leaving the affairs of state to them.

"The brothers just lack experience. Let them have more contact. They will definitely make progress and help you, father." Zhao Qi said. She didn't have any bad intentions, but she didn't want her father to be so tired.

"If we really leave it to them, the Yanfeng Kingdom will be in chaos within a month!" The old emperor seemed to remember something, and the anger on his face seemed to be a little stronger, with a sense of regret.
