Shen Wantang's heart tightened.

Among the crowd that was rushing away, only the girl went against the flow.

At that time, at the gate of Chen's house.

"General Zhang Shan, what are you doing? I'm leaving the city today to deal with food issues. Isn't it unfair for you to do this?"

The butler stood at the door, and was not afraid at all even when facing the arrogant Zhang Shan.

The guards behind him stood in front of the door, weapons in hand. They had all fought on the battlefield, and the murderous intent in their eyes was self-evident.

"Today, Chen Kangjian is dying. Shancheng cannot be without a master for a day. The best candidate to replace Chen Kangjian is naturally me."

Zhang Shan held his head high and raised his eyebrows, his treacherous eyes full of the look of a villain having achieved success.

"Mr. Chen has just left the city, and no news has been sent back to the city yet. General Zhang Shan is so sure. I'm afraid that even if you become the lord of this city, no one will recognize you!"

The butler remained calm in the face of danger and responded calmly even when the other party spoke bluntly.

"Stop talking nonsense! Come on!"

Zhang Shan snorted coldly and raised his hand. The people behind him shouted and rushed forward.

"Whose doll is this?"

Shen Wantang went upstream, but a little girl blocked her way.

The little girl sat in the middle of the road, covering her face and crying, her clothes were stained with mud.

She leaned over, picked up the doll, and asked loudly.

But the streets were in such chaos that even though Shen Wantang's voice was loud, it still couldn't drown out the noise of the people.

Shen Wantang turned around and found an arm loop that some lady had dropped in panic. She bent down to pick it up, held the baby girl in front of her, and quickly used the arm loop to secure the baby in front of her.

After a moment, Shen Wantang jumped and stood on the roof.

"Yue'er! Yue'er!"

Shen Wantang glanced around and saw a woman calling out anxiously and looking around.

"Are you Yue'er?" Shen Wantang lowered his head and asked softly.

Tears were still welling up in the girl's eyes as she nodded shyly.

Shen Wantang turned around and protected the girl in front of her, helping her land safely on the ground.

"Madam." Shen Wantang handed Yue'er to the lady just now, and before the lady could open her mouth to thank her, she left in a hurry.

Zhang Shan’s mansion is some distance away from Chen’s house.

When Shen Wantang hurried over, all he saw were the bodies of Chen's servants lying in disorder at the door of Chen's house.

Zhang Shan succeeded! ?

Looking at the tightly closed door of Chen's house, Shen Wantang's heart tightened.

He casually grabbed a long knife from the ground, put it behind his back, took off the servant's clothes which were not stained with blood, and hurriedly put them on.

Now, the only way is to sneak into Chen’s house.

After all, 30% of the troops in Shancheng are in Zhangshan's hands.

At that time, outside the city.

"Are you sure the information you got is correct?" Chen Kangjian and his companions rode over on horseback, but the more they looked, the worse it looked.

If there was a fire, there would certainly be thick smoke within a three-mile radius. However, when I looked up, there was not a single cloud in the sky. Not to mention black smoke, there wasn't even a single black crow.

Chen Kangjian reined in his horse and stopped, looking carefully.

"The message was sent by the person guarding the granary, so it cannot be wrong." The subordinate responded.

Everyone stopped between the two mountains, and Chen Kangjian looked around -

The mountains were unusually quiet today; not even a bird's cry could be heard.

A gust of wind blew, and the treetops were blown away by the wind. A strange sound came into Chen Kangjian's ears.

His eyes trembled, and he raised the whip: "Pull!"

A loud shout echoed in the canyon. Although everyone didn't know what was happening, they pulled the reins and followed Chen Kangjian back.

As soon as he finished speaking, arrows rained down from the valleys on both sides.

"No, there's an ambush!"

The crowd shouted.

Everyone raised their swords high to block the arrows coming from all directions.

It was still okay for those who had some martial arts skills, but those who had no martial arts skills were completely powerless to defend themselves, and let the arrow pierce through their bodies and fall into the valley.

I don't know how long it took for the arrows to fall.

Groups of people rushed out of the valley.

"Isn't this the uniform of Cen Xiao's army!?"

Chen Kangjian was shocked - this was the military uniform of the Rong State soldiers!

Rong State is hundreds of miles away from the mountain city, why are there so many Rong State soldiers? Judging by the naked eye, there are at least tens of thousands of people!

If we simply retreat back to the city, defeat would be a small matter, but bringing harm to the people in the city would be an eternal crime!

Looking at the Rong soldiers coming in waves, Chen Kangjian's eyes were filled with determination and he jumped off his horse.

He took the battle flag down with a quick move, then leaned over and stuck it into the ground.

In an instant, the battle flag fluttered in the wind and stood tall in the valley.

"All soldiers, listen up! Kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Chen Kangjian's heroic voice echoed throughout the canyon.

The soldiers responded with a resounding "Yes!"

At that time, outside the mountain city.

"Why is the mountain city so deserted today?" Hai Qingnan frowned, feeling that something was wrong today.

Cen Xiao frowned and thought: "If something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong."

Arriving at the place where he was defeated a month ago, Cen Xiao felt so strange that he didn't know how to describe it.

The remains of heroes are buried in the mountains and forests.

Cen Xiao frowned and looked from afar, but there was no one standing guard on the wall of the mountain city.

"I'll go take a look first." Hai Qingnan spoke slowly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he jumped off his horse and disappeared into the forest in a moment.

At that time, in the mountain city.

"Zhang Shan, what are you doing gathering everyone here?!"

In the front hall, Zhang Shan sat leisurely where Chen Kangjian usually sat, shaking the wine glass in his hand as if nothing had happened.

At that time, on the roof, Shen Wantang slowly moved away a tile and got a clear view of the situation in the front hall.

"Today, I have gathered you all here to tell you that from today on, the person in charge of Shancheng will be me, Zhang Shan!" Zhang Shan slowly put down the wine glass in his hand with a smug smile on his lips.

As soon as he finished speaking, people started to move around in the front hall, whispering to each other.

"Bullshit!" A voice of opposition came from the crowd, and they said indignantly, "It's not the turn of a ruffian like you to make the decisions in this mountain city!"

Just as he finished speaking, a dart hit the man's leg squarely.

The man felt a pain in his leg and suddenly knelt down.

"It won't be my turn, and it won't be your turn, an old bastard!" Zhang Shan said with his eyes wide open and clenched teeth.

After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

"I'll tell you the truth. Today, the people of Rong State burned down the granary. If Chen Kangjian leads his troops there, he will be dead!"

Zhang Shan slowly leaned back in his chair and snorted coldly.

When the words fell, everyone was surprised - how could someone from Rong State come here?

The same was true for Shen Wantang on the roof.

"It's you!" Another old man stood up in the crowd, full of indignation.
