"run!"

Seeing Sima Yan being killed by Cao Er, the faces of the other nine assassins changed drastically. They no longer had the will to fight and turned around and ran away.

Cao Er swung his sword, stepped forward, and with a flash of sword light, he slashed at the sixth-rank junior grandmaster.

Before the man could make any response, he was killed by Cao Er's sword.

"Stop them!"

Seeing that several assassins were trying to escape, Zhang Tai led a large army and arrived. The soldiers charging in the front were all riding war horses.

In an instant, they started chasing after the remaining ones.

Leng Xia, Feng Pu, Qiu Huo and others also quickly intercepted them.

Cao Er swung his sword again and killed another person.

Zhang Tai has been guarding Tianyun City for such a long time and has not taken action for a long time. He has been itching to fight. When he saw the enemy, he swung his spear and burst out with powerful momentum.

The spear instantly pierced the chest of a fourth-grade junior grandmaster. Without any pause, he rode his warhorse and quickly chased after him, turning to the next target.

In just a short while, all nine assassins led by Sima Yan were killed.

"It's really thanks to Mr. Cao's intervention this time, otherwise the assassins from the Sima family would have really escaped."

Zhang Tai dismounted from his horse and came in front of Cao Er.

He had met Cao Er before and knew that these people were killers sent by Ye Feng to support them.

But he was also shocked in his heart. Where did Ye Feng find this powerful grandmaster?

Hua Hua Hua...

At this moment, more than 20,000 soldiers quickly arrived from not far away.

The people who came were Wu Jie from Yushi Village and Kong Qi who had just arrived.

They received news of a battle outside Tianyun City and knew that Zhang Tai had led a large army out of Tianyun City. They thought that it was the army of the Great Jin Dynasty returning, so they immediately led their army to provide assistance. However, they did not expect to find the bodies of Sima Yan and others when they arrived at the scene.

"These must be the assassins of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Wu Jie looked at the ten bodies lying on the ground and couldn't help but speak.

It is no secret that the Sima family, the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, has trained killers and assassins.

"Who is this?"

When Wu Jie arrived in front of Zhang Tai, he saw Cao Er opposite him and twenty-eight people in night clothes, and his eyes fixed.

He felt very clearly that the aura of Cao Er was even more powerful and unfathomable than that of himself, a ninth-grade peak junior master. He must be a great grandmaster.

"General, you may not know that this is Mr. Cao, who was sent by the King of the State to help us. He is specifically responsible for dealing with the assassins of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Sima Tang had sent assassins before, trying to sneak into Tianyun City, but failed. They were killed by Cao Er and his men.

It was at that time that Zhang Tai found out that Ye Feng had sent assassins long ago to deal with the assassins from the Great Jin Dynasty.

"It turns out to be Mr. Cao. How disrespectful!"

Wu Jie bowed to Cao Er.

However, Kong Qi, who was standing next to him, was in turmoil.

What a joke.

Even if all the great masters in the entire Song Dynasty were added together, they could only be counted on two hands.

Where on earth did Ye Feng manage to win over such a top expert?

Moreover, the great grandmaster in front of him seemed to be a killer.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have believed it.

You have to know that those who have reached the level of Grandmaster have strange personalities, and it is really difficult to get them to serve you.

Even his own prince was only able to recruit a great master by chance, but he treated him as a guest of honor all year round and did not dare to offend him at all.

"The loyal and brave general is truly famous. This time he defeated the army of the Great Jin Dynasty, which greatly boosted the morale." Cao Er looked at the ugly-looking Wu Jie opposite him. He had heard something about Wu Jie and couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

"Who is this?"

When Cao Er came to Tianyun City with twenty-eight assassins, he had never seen Kong Qi, so he asked directly.

"Oh! I almost forgot to introduce that the reason why we were able to defeat Sima Zhuang's army this time was because General Kong Qi led an army of 100,000 and arrived in time to attack the enemy from both sides."

When Wu Jie heard Cao Er's question, he directly introduced Kong Qi to everyone.

"General Kong Qi, one of the four great generals under King Dong Xuan's throne?"

It has been more than a year since Zhangtai surrendered to the Song Dynasty. He is well aware that King Dongxuan is the biggest threat within the Song Dynasty. He has also heard of the main figures under Zhao Yunfei.

But I was extremely shocked inside.

Didn’t Zhao Yunfei always want to be emperor?

Now instead of taking advantage of the situation, he sent a large army to aid Tianyun City and resist the Great Jin Dynasty.

Such a broad mind really made Zhang Tai couldn't help but admire him.

"General Zhang, General Kong, Mr. Cao, we should not stay here for long." Wu Jie looked at everyone and said directly: "The Great Jin Dynasty has returned from a great defeat this time, and they will definitely not give up. Let's go back and make arrangements to prepare for a bigger battle."

"General Zhongyong is right."

Zhang Tai led the army and quickly headed towards Tianyun City.

Cao Er, along with twenty-eight men, also turned and left.

Wu Jie and Kong Qi also turned around and headed back towards the Jade Village.

……

In the imperial court of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the capital Dading City.

Sima Zhao was wearing a dragon robe and looked dignified.

But his face didn't look very good.

He originally thought that Sima Zhuang and Sima Tang, with an army of 450,000, would only need a few days to capture Tianyun City. However, he did not expect that half a month had passed and they still had not taken Tianyun City.

"My dear ministers, why do you think Sima Zhuang and Sima Tang's army have been unable to capture Tianyun City?"

Sima Zhao's voice rang out in the court.

Civil and military officials all lowered their heads, not daring to look Sima Zhao in the eye.

This kind of situation was indeed something no one expected.

"Eight hundred miles urgent report!"

"Eight hundred miles urgent report!"

……

Before the civil and military officials could answer Sima Zhao's question, hurried footsteps and roars were heard outside the court.

"Your Majesty, Sima Zhuang led an army of 250,000 to attack Yushi Village at night two days ago. He should have taken Yushi Village and captured Wu Jie alive."

"But I didn't expect that at dawn, a hundred thousand troops would emerge from behind the Jade Village and attack General Sima Zhuang from both sides."

"General Sima Zhuang led his army in a desperate battle to escape from Yushi Village. More than 200,000 soldiers were killed in the battle and they returned in defeat."

The scout's voice echoed throughout the court of the Great Jin Dynasty.

At this moment, disbelief was written all over the faces of civil and military officials, and the whole court was in an uproar.

They just felt like they were struck by lightning.

When did the Song Dynasty become so powerful?

"Sima Zhuang was defeated and lost more than 200,000 troops? Did I hear that correctly?"

Sima Zhao suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, staring at the messenger scout who was crawling in the court. There was a manic aura around him, and he spoke almost word by word.
