Tang Yin and Chang Feng were evenly matched, and when the latter retreated back to Xiao Xiang's side, without saying a word, he wrapped his arm around her waist and leapt into the air, rushing straight out of County Head Mansion.

His sudden action scared everyone present. Xiao Xiang also instinctively screamed out, and asked in shock: "Mr Chang, what are you doing?"

Chang Feng did not reply, he rushed out like an arrow that had left the bow, at an astonishing speed. Upon seeing this, the other three middle-aged men's faces changed. They didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly chased after him.

Once they left, how could the twenty odd Spirit Cultivator s dare to stay? However, if they wanted to escape now, it wouldn't be that easy.

Chang Feng and the three middle-aged men had high cultivation bases, they ran very fast, and they could even release powerful Spirit Pressure s, it would be difficult for Tang Yin to catch up to them, but the Spirit Cultivator below did not have as deep of a cultivation as them, under such a heavy encirclement, escaping was easier said than done.

Very quickly, all of the Spirit Cultivator s' escape routes were sealed up by the Hidden Arrow Crew. The Hidden Arrow Crew combined with a large number of guards surrounded them, and a chaotic battle started between the two sides.

Tang Yin appreciated Chang Feng, but he would not be polite to Xiao Xiang's Subordinate. His body released Fire of Darkness s, at the same time, he drew his sword, taking advantage of the opportunity to spiritualize them, jumping into the enemy's group and striking out towards the Spirit Cultivator s.

Under the combined attacks of Tang Yin and many Hidden Arrow Crew and Guard of Feng Country, these subordinates of Xiao Xiang did not last long, and all of them died inside the County Head Palace. After cleaning up all these people, Tang Yin immediately gave the order to search the entire city for Xiao Xiang, trying to capture her as much as possible.

As for Chang Feng, after rushing out of County Head Palace, he ran back to their hiding place near there. He only put Xiao Xiang down after she had climbed over the academy wall and jumped into the courtyard.

Just as he finished speaking, three middle-aged men jumped into the courtyard at the same time. Their six eyes were fixated on Chang Feng as the three swords pointed at his throat.

At this time, Xiao Xiang had already understood Chang Feng's intentions. She first waved her hand towards the three middle-aged men, signalling them to keep their swords, then bowed towards Chang Feng and said gently: "Many thanks to Mr Chang for helping me get out of this predicament."

Chang Feng said indifferently: "This is in return for taking care of the princess for the past few years."

Hearing that, Xiao Xiang's heart tensed up, and could not help but frown, sounding as if Chang Feng wanted to leave him. She still wanted to ask, but seeing that Chang Feng had silently retreated to the side, and had no intention to speak, she pondered for a moment, and in the end, swallowed back the words that were about to leave his mouth. She turned around and said to the three middle-aged men: "If there are no surprises, then the Wind People will be looking for us very soon and they will be searching for us in the entire city. We need to leave the Yujing as soon as possible."

"Yes!" "Princess!" The three middle-aged men replied in unison, "Windman shouldn't be able to reinforce the defenses of the city that quickly. We can first bring the princess and forcefully charge out!"

"Yes!" Xiao Xiang nodded her head, she rolled her eyes and looked at Chang Feng, and said seriously: "Looks like I have to rely on Mr Chang again to get out of this predicament successfully!"

Chang Feng did not reply, he only nodded his head slightly. If one did not look carefully, it was impossible to tell that his head was moving.

In the County Head Palace on the other side, after cleaning up Xiao Xiang's subordinates, Tang Yin pulled Ren Xiao back to the study room and told him in detail about how he had released the Shadow-illusion Prison on Chang Feng and how the other party had not been affected.

He asked: "Brother Ren, could it be that the Shadow-illusion Prison also has a time of failure?"

Ren Xiao inhaled and fell into deep thought for a while. Then, he slowly shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about the specifics, but I'm sure that the Shadow-illusion Prison has an impact on Brother Chang."

Tang Yin furrowed his brows and murmured, "Looks like I can only ask Chang Feng about it when I see him again in the future." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "I want to take Chang Feng in as my own. Brother Ren, do you think that is possible?"

Ren Xiao was overjoyed, and asked back, "Brother Chang is Elder Huangfu's head disciple, does Your Highness not fear that leaving him by your side would bring about a hidden danger or threat?"

Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said: "Brother Ren said before, Chang Feng, Huangfu Xiutai and his disciples are not the same type of people, if that's the case, then what do I have to be afraid of?"

Ren Xiao smiled and nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I do not know if Brother Chang will accept Your Highness's invitation, but I feel that with regards to the degree of infatuation towards the Spirit Force, His Highness and Brother Chang have some similarities. If Brother Chang stays by Your Highness's side, he will definitely feel more comfortable."

Although he did not explain himself, but what he meant was that he felt that the possibility of Chang Feng transferring to Tang Yin's side was very high. Hearing his words, Tang Yin's face revealed a trace of a smile. If he really could bring Chang Feng over to his side, then it would undoubtedly make their side look like a tiger's wing.

Not long after, news came from the 9th army base that the fire in the granary had been put out. However, more than half of the grain in the granary had also been burned down, resulting in heavy losses.

Not long after, the South City sent back news to the enemy, saying that a group of almighty Spirit Cultivator had forcefully climbed over the city walls and fled outside the city. The defending troops of the South City had now chased them out of the city.

Tang Yin didn't even need to look at the details of the situation to guess that the group of Spirit Cultivator who had escaped were definitely Xiao Xiang and her subordinates.

It would be useless to chase after him either. Even if they managed to catch up with him, they would not be able to trap a Spiritual Martial Expert of Chang Feng's level.

He first ordered the Ninth Army to increase their defense, to make sure that they did not let the enemy get away, and then he ordered the South City to give up on chasing after the fleeing enemy.

In this battle, it could be said that Tang Yin had lost, but it was not as if Xiao Xiang had completely won. Xiao Xiang's main target was not the Ninth Army's provisions, but the salary for her Feng Army.

Even if she managed to burn all of the Ninth Army's grains and grains, the Ninth Army would still be able to draw out grain from the granaries in Yujing City to make up for their losses. Only by stealing all of Feng Army's wages, would it truly affect the morale of Feng Army and cause chaos within them if they did not fight.0

It was a pity that she was only able to trick Tang Yin halfway, and upon reaching the most crucial step, Tang Yin reacted, and this also ruined Xiao Xiang's plan.

After this confrontation, it could be said that Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang had both left a deep impression on each other.

Tang Yin found out that there was still such a cunning and scheming princess in Chuan Country, and similarly, Tang Yin's astuteness was beyond Xiao Xiang's expectations. She had originally thought that Tang Yin was just a courageous and scheming martial artist.

After a while, Pingyuan Army and Heavenly Eagle Army arrived at the Yujing successively. So far, the Feng Army had already reached a single location, and the four hundred thousand strong army now had a vast and mighty aura. They majestically descended from the Yujing s to the south, nearing the Chuankou County s.

Six days later, Feng Army arrived at the pass and encamped at the north side of the pass.

Tang Yin personally went to the front of the army to watch. The Guankou City was not steep at all, and sat on the flat land between the Mu Ye Mountain and the Black Head Mountain. Looking from all directions, there was nothing dangerous about it, and it was very suitable for the attacking side to launch a large scale assault.

After carefully looking over the terrain around the Guankou City, Tang Yin secretly shook his head. It was hard to understand in his heart: The general of Ann Army had given up his Yujing, and wanted to stick to such a defenseless and isolated city.

He threw his head to the people around him and said, "Let's go forward!"

Ah San hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, be careful."

"It's fine, we're still far from the enemy city!" As he spoke, he urged the horse forward. When he was only one kilometer away from the Guankou City, he reined his warhorse and concentrated on looking at the city in front of him.

When they got closer to the people, they suddenly realized that the Guankou City was actually double walls. The Outer Wall was thirteen meters and three meters, which was a normal standard, but the Inner Wall was more than forty meters tall, which was one level higher than the Outer Wall. In other words, if one stood on the Inner Wall, they could directly shoot from above at anyone on the Outer Wall, but the people on the Outer Wall didn't even have a place to hide, as they were completely exposed to the arrows shot from the Inner Wall.

After watching for a good while, Zi Ying said faintly, "Great King, it looks like there is a reason for the Ann Army remnant to retreat. Although there is no moat outside the Guankou City, the defense of the town itself is very complete. I'm afraid it's not easy to fight! "

Xiao Muqing asked: How many guards are there in the Guankou City?

Le Tian and Ai Jia said in unison, "At least a hundred thousand."

Nodding, Xiao Muqing stretched out his hand and measured the city a few times, then said," No matter how you look at it, the pass is just a small city. There isn't even a single commoner in the city, and the entire city is filled with an army of one hundred thousand. Since An Jun is going to fight a war of attrition, then he must have stored a lot of food. Just how much food can he stock up in such a small city?

Ai Jia subconsciously asked, "General Xiao thinks that ? Will the enemy's grain be hoarded outside the city? "

Xiao Muqing immediately shook his head, and said: "Of course it's impossible, once there is a war, our army will surround the pass, and if the enemy stores the food outside the city, they will not have the chance to transport it in."

Zi Ying nodded his head and took it: "That's right, Guankou City is too small, an army of a hundred thousand is already very difficult, where would we find the space to hoard more food?"

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked at the two of them, and smiled: "Stop making wild guesses, if you want to understand what's going on, it's very easy, pull out the city's defenses, and lead our soldiers to kill and enter the city!"

Everyone's face turned serious, Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying asked in unison, "When does the King plan to attack the city?"

"Set up camp and rest up today. Tomorrow morning, our army will attack the city at full strength. What do you think?"

"This lowly general obeys your command!" Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying did not object as they both cupped their hands and accepted the order.
