C1962 Final volume
Seeing that Xiao Xiang had arrived, all the generals stepped forward, interfered and saluted, and said: "Your Highness!"
If Xiao Xiang didn't come, they wouldn't dare to attack him in private. After all, Xiao Ting was a member of the royal family with Chuan Country. Xiao Xiang waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to be overly courteous, and then asked: "How is the situation here?"
Bu Ying replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Young Master Mansion have already been surrounded by us, with Your Highness' order, the soldiers will be able to rush in!"
Xiao Xiang nodded and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "How many soldiers do we have?"
Bu Ying calculated and said: "There are more than ten thousand people."
Xiao Xiang shook her head and said: "I'm afraid that's not enough, continue to gather more men."
There were many Domestic Servant s, guests, guards, and guards, and there were countless experts amongst them. If they were to fight, their own ten thousand over officers might not necessarily be able to break through the defenses of the Young Master Mansion.
Bu Ying replied: "Princess, you can rest assured. We have already sent people to transfer troops, and before long, all sorts of people will rush over."
After that, she parted the crowd and came to the front of the Young Master Mansion's main entrance. She said loudly: "Listen, people inside, I am the Fifth Princess.
After she finished shouting, nobody inside the Young Master Mansion answered her. There was not even the slightest movement, it was completely silent. Xiao Xiang squinted her eyes and snorted, she turned and said: "Once all the troops have arrived, we will attack immediately, if there are any rebels, we can do it on the spot!"
"Yes sir!" The generals cupped their hands in acknowledgement.
After waiting for around two cups of tea time, all sorts of soldiers had arrived. Looking around, there were more and more soldiers gathering outside the Young Master Mansion.
Xiao Xiang did not have the patience to wait any longer, she waved her hand and shouted: "Attack!"
Following her command, the generals all gave the order to attack. For a moment, the sound of battle and killing became one, and Chuan Army surged like a tide towards the Young Master Mansion.
Some Chuan Soldier s could build ladders or people ladders, and climb up the walls of the courtyard. Some Chuan Soldier s used wooden stakes to ram against the Young Master Mansion's gate, and ear-splitting booms continuously rang out.
The gate to the Young Master Mansion s were not that easy to break open, and it was obvious that there were additional fixed objects inside. The first to rush into the Young Master Mansion s were the Chuan Soldier s that climbed up the courtyard walls.
However, people rushed up faster, and fell down even faster. Many of the Chuan Soldier s that had just landed on the courtyard wall did not even have the time to clearly see what was going on in their Young Master Mansion before they shot over countless arrows. In just an instant, the sounds of arrows piercing through armor could be heard, and Chuan Soldier that climbed up the courtyard wall fell on their backs like hedgehogs, or even fell down the courtyard wall.
The Chuan Army s were not scared off by the fierce counterattack from the Young Master Mansion. The following soldiers who were attacking immediately raised their shields and took the hit from the arrows, rushing into the Young Master Mansion s, clashing with the guards inside.
Just as Xiao Xiang had predicted, there were too many Spiritual Martial Expert in the Young Master Mansion, so they clashed head on with each other. Even though Xiao Xiang's side had tens of thousands of soldiers, they still could not gain the upper hand in a short period of time.
Seeing that the battle was becoming more and more intense and the casualties on their side were becoming more and more severe, Xiao Xiang subconsciously clenched her fists and shouted to the side: "Dispatch more troops, continue transferring troops, no matter what happens, you have to take down Young Master Mansion for me tonight!"
All of the generals understood that if they couldn't break through the Young Master Mansion in a short period of time and capture the Eldest Young Master's Xiao Ting, after the dukes outside the city found out about this matter, they might even join hands and charge into the Zhaoyang City to resolve Xiao Ting's crisis. They couldn't afford to take such a risk right now.
Everyone responded and sent out their own men to rush out of the city to gather troops. Just as they were about to send Subordinate out, suddenly, a leader of a thousand riders from the Chuan Army rode over frantically, and when they were near Xiao Xiang and the rest, he dismounted and knelt down to pay his respects, and anxiously said: "Your Highness, various generals, Eldest Young Master Xiao Ting has already left the city. From the direction of his travel, he seems to be heading to the camp of the Hong Family Army!"
When he said that, all of the generals present felt their heads buzz. Xiao Ting actually left the city? How is that possible? Young Master Mansion had obviously already been surrounded, how did Xiao Ting run out? Did it fly out with wings?
"Why didn't you stop him? How many people did he bring?" Bu Ying was both angry and anxious. He rushed to the Captain's side, grabbed him by the collar and forcefully lifted him up.
The Captain was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stammered, "Eldest Young Master is about to leave the city. This little one can't really stop it, there are close to a thousand people who came out of the city with Eldest Young Master! "
Crap! Bu Ying broke out in a cold sweat. Xiao Ting must have gone to the Xueyi Duke to ask for help, what should he do?
Bu Ying released the Captain and turned to look at Xiao Xiang. The latter's expression was overcast as her eyeballs rolled around. She said faintly: "There must be a secret passage to the outside world within the Young Master Mansion. This time, we were too careless."
On the surface, it seemed as if Xiao Xiang was also very surprised by this change of events, but in reality, it was completely different.
Ren Fang's brows tightly knitted, and said in a low voice: "Princess, this lowly general had brought people to search the Eldest Young Master's Palace not long ago, but we did not find any secret passages!"
"Humph!" Xiao Xiang laughed and said casually: "If it's that easy to find, can it still be called a secret passage?" Her casual words didn't sound like much to others, but it caused Ren Fang to be shocked in her heart and she to secretly frown.
It seemed that the princess was not surprised at the fact that there was a secret passage within the Young Master Mansion. It was very possible that not only was there a secret passage within the Young Master Mansion, there was also a secret passage within the Princess Mansion.
That being the case, how could the princess be so sure that her family was hiding in the palace? Did she hear some news beforehand, or ? Ren Fang didn't even dare to think any further. If it was the latter possibility, then Fifth Princess's schemes would be too terrifying.
She thought that Ren Fang was worried about Xiao Ting escaping the city. She smiled slightly and used the whip in her hand to pat Ren Fang's shoulder armor: General Ren does not need to worry, even if Elder Royal Brother escapes to Xueyi Duke's place, what can I do? The Elder Royal Brother ordered Jin Liren to do the kidnapping of the Minister of Imperial Court's family members. The Human God was furious, the heavens could not tolerate this, if the Xueyi Duke dared to shield Elder Royal Brother, then he will be guilty of an unforgivable crime! "
As she spoke, her expression became serious, and she said in a deep voice, "Generals, listen!"
"This lowly general is here!" Everyone's body shook as they hurriedly bowed and intervened.
Xiao Xiang squinted her eyes and said seriously: "Mobilize all of our troops to surround the Hong Family Army encampment immediately!"
Hearing that, everyone was shocked, the princess was planning to make a move on the Xueyi Duke. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, they replied in unison, "This general obeys!" After the generals received the orders, they all turned and left, leaving their respective deputy generals to continue commanding the battle.
The encampment of the legion under Ren Fang's command was in the same direction as the encampment under Zhang Situ's command. The two of them also left together, and on the way back, Ren Fang said faintly: "General Zhang, Your Highness seems to have known that there were hidden tunnels within the Young Master Mansion since long ago."
Zhang Situ blinked his eyes, shook his head and laughed: "Impossible! If the princess knew that there is a secret passage in the Young Master Mansion, she would have either sent people to destroy it in advance, or set up an army to block the exit.
"When the Eldest Young Master escapes, he will definitely seek refuge with the Xueyi Duke, who has the closest relationship with him. Isn't this the same as giving the princess a reasonable reason to get rid of the Xueyi Duke?" Ren Fang looked at Zhang Situ and said softly.
Zhang Situ sighed in his heart. The expression on his face did not change, nor did he directly answer Ren Fang's question.
He stunned Ren Fang with his question. A princess is a princess, who else could she be? He said dumbly, "Yes ?" It's a princess, what does General Zhang mean by this? "
"Ha!" Zhang Situ laughed, laughed, and shook his head: "Looks like General Ren still doesn't understand, the princess is not a princess, but a king, and is my Chuan Country's future ruler. As a subject, it is taboo for me to try to guess the king's thoughts, so General Ren doesn't need to think too much, all I need to do is follow the princess's orders, this ? "Fang Wei knows how to protect his own safety!"
Ren Fang was startled, then realised, Zhang Situ understood his own way too well. He nodded and said: "Thank you General Zhang for your advice, I understand."
Zhang Situ laughed and nodded. After a long while, he suddenly spoke again and said softly: "Actually, I agree with General Ren's speculation."
Seeing that Ren Fang was about to speak, he quickly waved his hand and said: "You don't have to accept this.
Ren Fang gave Zhang Situ a deep look.
Zhang Situ, Ren Fang, Yang Zhao, Lv You, Bu Ying, the five Chief General s, all returned to their respective army's residences. Zhang Situ led the First Army, Yang Zhao led the Third and Fourth Legions, Lv You led the Tenth Legion, Bu Ying led the Sixth and Twelfth Legions, along with the Fifth, Seventh and Eighth Legions led Ren Fang, and headed towards the Hong Family Army encampment together.
The five Chief General s had a total of nine divisions under their command. Their auras were as vast as the mountains and overturn the seas, approaching the Hong Family Army's encampment from the east, south, west and north.
Right now, Xiao Ting who had escaped from the Zhaoyang was indeed hiding within the Hong Family Army's encampment. Let alone Hong Yuetian, who did not understand what happened in the Zhaoyang City, even Xiao Ting did not understand why Xiao Xiang would suddenly kill him.

After Hong Yuetian personally brought Xiao Ting into the army camp and asked him what was happening, Xiao Ting shook his head repeatedly and bellowed with a trembling voice: "Crazy, that lowly bitch Xiao Xiang is crazy! Tonight, she actually brought an army and suddenly attacked my Young Master Mansion, she wants to get rid of me first before inheriting the throne!"
