Huyan Longhao burst into a wild laugh at the stunned look on Wei Ying's face.
Thankfully, to prevent any unexpected situations, he had found a dead man in advance and ordered Huyan Zhuoyi to disguise the man as Chu Qing, the Princess Consort of Ning in the Great Yan Kingdom.
Speaking of Huyan Zhuoyi's disguise skills, they were among the best in Xiliang. Although the three siblings had the same master, they excelled in different things.
For example, Huyan Longchang was good at fighting, he was good at strategy, and Huyan Zhuoyi was good at disguise and poison techniques. However, while his and Huyan Longchang's abilities were well - known to the world, Huyan Zhuoyi had always hidden her true skills.
So he was quite certain that Wei Ying would be in a complete mess after seeing the "Chu Qing".
Thinking of this, Huyan Longhao said sinisterly, "If you let us go, I'll let the Prince of Ning reunite with his princess consort. It's a good deal for you."
Wei Ying took a look at the pitiful - looking "Chu Qing", his heart filled with complex emotions.
Although he was indeed stunned for a moment when he first saw the person, although this person looked exactly like Chu Qing in appearance, their eyes and expressions were nothing like hers.
Even if he hadn't seen Chu Qing, he wouldn't be so easily deceived by Huyan Longhao.
Seeing that Wei Ying didn't say a word, a fierce look flashed in Huyan Longhao's eyes. He drew his sword and put it on the neck of the person in front of him. "Prince of Ning, I don't have much time for you to think!"
"Well..." Wei Ying finally spoke. "I wonder where the Second Prince found... my beloved princess consort?"
Fearing that his ruse would be exposed, Huyan Longhao quickly replied, "You don't need to worry about that! I've heard that the Prince of Ning and his princess consort have always had a good relationship. Are you really going to watch your princess consort in our hands today?"
Wei Ying suddenly let out a soft laugh. With a mischievous look in his eyes, he said, "Second Prince, there are some things I may not have told you."
"What things!" Huyan Longhao had a bad feeling.
"My beloved princess consort has already come to me. I just parted with her this morning. How could she be in the Second Prince's hands so soon?" Wei Ying tilted his head, looking utterly confused.
This look on his face was like a heavy slap in Huyan Longhao's face.
Huyan Longchang, who was standing beside them, felt like he was going to be driven crazy by his younger brother, who boasted of being the best strategist in Xiliang. At this moment, he just felt so embarrassed that he had no strength left.
This was not the Second Prince of Xiliang. He was clearly the Second Fool of Xiliang!
However, the people of Xiliang never admitted defeat easily!
Therefore, Huyan Longchang said loudly, "Our Xiliang and the Great Yan have always been on good terms. Let's not fight at every turn. How about... we have a friendly talk?"
Wei Ying looked at Huyan Longchang, who was pretending to be serious, and had an indescribable urge to punch him.
How could Huyan Longchang say with a straight face that fighting was bad and they should have a friendly talk?
Just then, Huyan Longhao suddenly released a red smoke into the air. Then he said with a sneer, "I've said, Prince of Ning, don't be too happy too soon. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you've locked us up here? At the foot of the mountain outside Qingzhou City, there's still a large army of Xiliang. Once they see this signal, they'll definitely come!"
Huyan Longhao estimated that since Wei Ying was here, he couldn't have called in reinforcements from other cities in just a few days. And the soldiers in Qingzhou City were no more than ten thousand at most. How could they possibly withstand the one - hundred - thousand - strong army they had brought!
Thinking of this, Huyan Longhao looked at Wei Ying, who was standing high above looking down at them, with a gloomy face. He must make Wei Ying fall hard!
He had thought that...
After hearing his words, Wei Ying would wipe the infuriating smile off his face. Instead, the smile on the other man's face became even brighter?
"How have the people of Xiliang managed to survive until now?" Wei Ying raised his eyebrows.
Why did he feel that the Huyan brothers seemed like two fools today?
"Wei Ying, don't talk nonsense!"
"Do you know which kind of people die the most in this world?"
"... " Huyan Longhao kept a straight face and said nothing.
"People who talk too much." After saying that, Wei Ying didn't want to waste any more words on them. He waved his hand at the people behind him and then turned around to go to the other side of the city tower to watch... the main show.
...
At this time, at the foot of the mountain outside Qingzhou City, Wu Shi and Huyan Zhuoyi were waiting around boredly.
Huyan Longhao had specifically ordered Wu Shi to lead a large army to wait at the foot of the mountain. If there was any trouble, he would send out a signal.
So, all Wu Shi had to do now was wait for the Second Prince's signal.
Huyan Zhuoyi, on the other hand, was getting impatient. Especially the way Wu Shi looked at her made her uncomfortable.
"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll ask my elder brother to dig out your eyeballs!!!" Huyan Zhuoyi frowned and said fiercely. If her elder brother hadn't told her not to expose her skills easily and this big guy was still useful to them, she really wanted to poison him to death.
Wu Shi grinned and said, "The princess is so beautiful. Why can't I look at you?"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you?" Huyan Zhuoyi sneered back.
Wu Shi still grinned, but he stopped talking. Instead, he turned around and walked into the troops to chat with the soldiers.
Rather than dealing with this venomous princess, it was more fun to shoot the breeze and tell dirty jokes with the soldiers.
Just as he was telling a young soldier about his story with two women, a sharp sound suddenly pierced the sky. Then he looked up and saw a red smoke shooting straight into the sky.
"Eagles of Xiliang! Take off! Let's teach these ignorant people of the Great Yan a profound lesson!" Wu Shi roared excitedly. Then he flipped onto his horse and was about to lead the large army to charge towards Qingzhou City.
But just as he sat firmly on the horse, he felt the ground shaking.
When Wu Shi thought he was having an illusion, he saw a dark shadow spreading out majestically at the junction of the sky and the earth.
Then...
He heard a low growl like thunder.
After a moment of stunnedness, he finally saw what the dark shadow was.
It was actually...
A mighty army?
Could it be that the Prince of Ning had really called in reinforcements from other cities?
Humph! Even if reinforcements from other cities had come, their Xiliang Iron Cavalry would not be afraid in the slightest!
Thinking of this, Wu Shi roared and led his troops to take the initiative.
But when he saw what the army looked like, he broke out in a cold sweat for the first time before a formal battle.
This army was all in black armor, with cold and fierce expressions and eyes as sharp as knives. Just walking on the road, they made the earth tremble.
This awe - inspiring aura...
It could only be the mysterious Black Cloud Army of the Great Yan Kingdom!
The Prince of Ning had actually brought the Black Cloud Army!
