Chapter 124: Your Highness the King of War, have you seen what’s inside?
Jing Muyang looked at Tuoya's determined eyes and said, "Okay, such a great revenge, just accept it temporarily and let the child feel at ease."
"Toya!" Su He was so angry, "Naren, why don't you try to persuade her!"
"I..." Naren was originally against it, but changed her mind after hearing that he was the War King.
"Suhe, the border cities of Lindong and Linxi ended the locust plague so quickly with the help of His Royal Highness the War King. I believe that His Royal Highness the War King will not embarrass innocent people."
When Naren heard that it was the War King, she also stood next to Toya.
“You two…” Su He was so angry that he struggled madly on the ground and cursed, “Jing Muyang, you are the dignified War King, and you deceived an innocent girl. You are so despicable! Jing Muyang…”
Jing Muyang ignored him and had Su He dragged away and kept under surveillance.
In the camp, Jing Muyang carefully observed the sisters. Su He's persuasion did not shake them. It seemed that their desire for revenge had reached its peak. But it was understandable. With such great hatred, who wouldn't want to kill their enemy?
"Tell me how to get us into the city."
"There is a secret passage leading into the city. Send people in to control the guards at the city gate and then the city gate can be opened..." Toya told everything without hesitation.
Jing Muyang and his men heard it, "Okay, we'll act when it gets dark. You go down and rest first. I will keep my promise. I will hand the queen over to you, and I will let you two sisters go."
"And my uncle!" Toya continued.
"Okay." Jing Muyang agreed. After all, these two girls might not survive outside.
Only after the two princesses were taken away did Jing Muyang go to see Su He.
"You no longer have any choice regarding the secret passage, but I can give you another choice. You can choose to lead the way yourself or let the two of them lead the way."
Jing Muyang listened to Tuoya's retelling. Although the two of them knew where the secret passage was, there were mechanisms in the passage and they were not sure they could shut them all down.
Su He sighed and knelt down on the ground helplessly. In fact, he knew that he was powerless to change the situation from the beginning.
"I'll go, and I hope His Royal Highness the War King can keep his word."
Just like that, after dark, Qingmu followed Suhe and led a group of people into the city through the secret passage. They opened the city gate before midnight. Jing Muyang led more than 10,000 cavalrymen and marched straight in, controlling the capital city in the blink of an eye.
This battle was unexpected and really easy.
"Aoki, take your men back to meet Qingshan and the others, quickly!"
"Yes!" Aoki took half of the troops and galloped away again.
When Jing Muyang entered the city, he realized that there were not many soldiers in the city and they were just guarding the city gate for show.
Arsalan had already transferred all his troops out. His base camp was not in Dadu anyway, so he didn't care at all and just treated it as a temporary stopover.
However, his sister was still in the palace and was caught. It was said that as soon as she was brought in front of the two sisters, Princess Toya cut her stomach open with a knife, and her intestines were all over the floor. Even Su He didn't have time to react.
Jing Muyang frowned. This child is a bit extreme. If he is not guided well, I am afraid...
But this is not his business. He would let them go if he had agreed to do so.
"War King, will you really kill Arsalan?"
Toya was still reluctant to leave, but Jing Muyang didn't want to keep them in Dadu, let alone take them along.
"Yes, either he dies or I die." Jing Muyang took out the brocade bag and handed it to her, "I don't want your things."
Tuoya took the sachet and bit her lip. "Your Highness, King Zhan, have you seen what's inside?"
"No, I am not interested in my daughter's things. Arsalan will call you soon, so you should leave now."
Although he didn't look, he knew there was a bracelet and a jade pendant inside when he touched it. It was packed so well that it was probably a relic from her mother. Naturally, he couldn't accept it.
However, when Suhe took them away, Tuoya secretly left the treasure bag behind.
*
Suhe took the two sisters north. His tribe was deep in the grasslands further north.
As a native of Beisai, he had no ability to drive Jing Muyang away, and he was also powerless to restore the fate of Beisai. Being able to bring back the two princesses of Agula was already beyond his expectations. He thought Jing Muyang would not let them go.
The day after Qingmu left, Jing Muyang led the remaining troops to Dadu to collect a lot of supplies and abandoned the city and headed west. This was what they had agreed on.
Since there is no point in capturing most of them, let's go straight to Arsalan's court, Mulag.
Qingmu went to meet Qingshan and headed west. When Arsalan heard that Dadu had been captured, he was so angry that he returned to the capital, but his sister was still in Dadu!
But by the time he chased Qingshan all the way back to Dadu, Jing Muyang had already emptied Dadu and left.
All that was left was a disemboweled corpse that no one dared to clean up.
That's his sister, he only has one sister!
However, when he heard the news that Jing Muyang was heading west, he burst into anger.
Humph, you're just kidding him!
The big devil had previously informed him of Jing Muyang's marching route, which indeed caught Jing Muyang off guard. He thought that Jing Muyang would fight back to the death without enough food and grass, but he did not expect that he secretly took the cavalry away, leaving the troublesome infantry to launch sneak attacks and harassment along the way.
By the time he found out about this, it was three or four days later. When he launched an all-out attack to try to take it down in one fell swoop, they retreated very far away. When he caught up with them, reinforcements arrived. Halfway through the battle, he heard that Dadu had been occupied by Jing Muyang. He thought Jing Muyang would stay in Dadu to rest, so he hurried back to the city, but this was the result.
Arsalan sent out an order to assemble throughout the entire Northern Sai. No matter which area Jing Muyang passed through or which tribe he encountered, they must do their best to stop him!
The speed of the bird flying the letter was still faster than Jing Muyang's, and it was intercepted before it could merge with the green mountains and green leaves.
Jing Muyang was still dragging the food and grass. Qingshan and his men had run out of food and grass. Even if they could grab some along the way, how could it be enough? Naturally, they had to protect the food and grass at all costs.
Fortunately, none of the soldiers he led were cowards. After so many days of traveling and fighting, everyone was bloodthirsty and their combat effectiveness was increasing rapidly.
It was not until I met up with Qingshan's team that I was able to relax a little.
At this moment, they were still more than 200 miles away from Mulag. The scouts had brought news that Mulag in front had entered a state of alert and the nearest tribe had arrived. Arsalan in the rear was only more than 200 miles away from them. It would take the entire army two or three days to advance to either end.
"Your Majesty, should we attack Mulag or ambush Arsalan?"
There are only 40,000 left out of the 50,000 people they brought with them, and the food and grass can last for five or six days. Although they received news that the prince has brought reinforcements, it is still a long way to go.
Since they were intercepted on the road in the past few days, Murag has assembled 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry. It may not be so easy for their 40,000 wounded and tired soldiers to defeat Murag, not to mention that Arsalan has 50,000 to 60,000 people behind them and can catch up at any time. By then, they will be attacked from both sides.
No, they can't afford to get hurt.
Going north would only lead them deeper into the heart of Northern Sai, which would be even more disadvantageous to them, but going back south?
The Arsalan issue has not been resolved and Northern Sai has not been controlled. Wouldn’t this trip be in vain?
Jing Muyang thought deeply.
Arsalan is his biggest target this time, and Arsalan also wants to kill him.
Murag's army will not easily come to the rescue in order to defend the city. In Northern Sai, a country where power is supreme, as long as Arsalan is eliminated, everything else will be easy.
"Qingshan, send a letter to the crown prince, asking him to rush to Tuoling for help within five days. We will rest for a day and then ambush Arsalan from the flank to the south!"
