The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1720

Chapter 1720: 842 United in Defending the City (Chapter 2)

Several people stood motionless on the spot.

The enormous commotion startled the deputy general of the Logistics Camp, who inspected the remaining war chariots, and the result was the same without exception; they all collapsed in a heap!

Moreover, the ladders used to climb the City Tower were broken into splinters.

This was a significant accident in the Military Camp.

The deputy general of the Logistics Camp immediately reported to several generals.

When Chu Feipeng came to the scene and looked around, he pinched the smooth cut on the war chariot fragments with his fingertips, his gaze chilling: "Snow-domed Silk!"

A nearby officer said, "General, this..."

Chu Feipeng said calmly, "It seems someone came over last night."

The officer immediately kneeled on one knee: "Subordinate is derelict in duty!"

Chu Feipeng glanced toward the direction of Quyang City: "Nangong Jue was right, Dayan Country’s Hei Fengqi is not easy to deal with. The siege plan needs to be postponed; inform the Nangong Family that the conditions they mentioned are agreed upon."

...

Liang Country’s army, having lost its military equipment, spent a full eight days transporting new ladders and war chariots from other cities, which was a considerable expenditure of manpower and resources and slightly shook the army’s morale.

But it doesn’t matter, Dayan’s wolves lurk everywhere, Liang Country is not the only enemy, the other five countries are also voraciously devouring this piece of fat meat.

Sooner or later, Dayan will be completely lost.

On September 18, at 5 PM, the west wind was fiercely blowing.

Liang Country’s General Song Kai led twenty thousand of vanguard forces to launch the first attack on the west City gate of Quyang City.

But the previous evening, Chang Wei received instructions from the Nangong Family.

The Nangong Family had long been rooted in Quyang City, naturally still having spies within the city. One of them disguised as a vegetable vendor sneaked into the barracks, arriving at Chang Wei’s tent where he was recuperating from an injury.

He revealed the Token from his sleeve, saying to Chang Wei: "The Patriarch has ordered that if Liang Country besieges the city, you are to immediately command your subordinates to charge out and annihilate the Hei Fengqi!"

Chang Wei’s reaction seemed calm: "The Patriarch intends for me to aid evil, to collude with the enemy and betray the country?"

The vendor replied, "The king of Dayan is unscrupulous, this is a strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. The Patriarch naturally wouldn’t commit treason; once the Hei Fengqi is captured, the Patriarch will command the general to lead troops to drive Liang Country’s army out of Dayan’s border!"

Chang Wei lowered his eyes and said softly: "Is that so?"

The vendor smiled and said: "Of course, the Patriarch wholeheartedly serves the people of Dayan, his earnest heart is evident to all. The Patriarch entrusts General Chang with significant responsibilities; this is a recognition of General Chang’s trust and importance. General Chang must not disappoint the Patriarch, after all, you are the most trusted house steward of the Nangong Family."

Chang Wei sternly looked at the vendor: "The Patriarch... really sees me as such? Doesn’t he just see me as a dog for the Nangong Family?"

The vendor sighed: "How could General Chang think so? Have you heard some rumors? General Chang, you were brought back to the border by the Patriarch for many years, have you ever seen the Patriarch do anything against the people of the world? Indeed, fleeing from the city is improper, but this is for the greater good. Don’t forget who saved your life; without the Patriarch, you must not be ungrateful."

After the vendor left, Chang Wei went to the place where prisoners of war were held for the first time.
