"It's you who are colluding with the people of Rong State!" The old man gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Shan in front of him, wishing he could hit Zhang Shan's head hard with the crutch in his hand.

Hearing this, Zhang Shan snorted coldly: "So what if it's me?"

"I'm also thinking about the people of the mountain city!" Zhang Shan stood up and walked down.

"The people of Rong State have found me. If I don't hand over the granary, they will burn down the mountain city. What can I do?"

Zhang Shan walked forward slowly, his eyes pretending to be afraid but revealing endless shame.

"Do you want me to exchange all the people in this city for those food and grass?" Zhang Shan frowned, turned around and pinched the old man's shoulder hard.

He exerted so much force with his hands that not only an old man with gray hair, but even a young man would not be able to withstand such a pinch.

"Old man, what do you think? If it were me, what would you do?" Zhang Shan widened his eyes and moved in front of the old man, looking quite threatening.

The old man clenched his teeth, his face was pale but he didn't say a word of pain.

"Besides, the people of Rong State promised me that if I surrender to them, they will bring endless wealth and glory to the people of Shancheng." Zhang Shan smiled indifferently and then put down his hand.

One of them turned around and looked at the person behind him, raised his eyebrows and grinned: "This is a big deal for everyone! Isn't it much better than letting the people worry all day long under Chen Kangjian's command!"

"Report!"

A sound came from afar, Shen Wantang's heart tightened, and he quickly flew downstairs.

Before the man got close to the front hall, he knocked him unconscious with a punch.

Pull out a secret letter from the man's hand—Cen Xiao is coming to attack!

Shen Wantang's eyes trembled, and his heart trembled as well - this time, God tied their hearts together.

Without thinking, she raised her head and ran towards the messenger's horse, jumped on it, and headed towards the city gate.

"Their mechanism is really tricky, and now we have no way to crack it!"

Hai Qingnan frowned as he watched wave after wave of soldiers advance, only to be beaten back. Now they had only moved forward a distance of ten meters.

Cen Xiao pinched his chin with his bony fingers, and then slowly said, "Wait a minute."

"Still waiting? What are you waiting for? Don't you understand the principle that the first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted?" Hai Qingnan could not wait any longer, so he jumped onto his horse, took his spear from his men and was about to move forward.

"If you don't go, I'll go myself!"

Hai Qingnan glanced at Cen Xiao who was standing motionless beside him, and then was about to ride away.

"Miss Shen! It's Miss Shen!"

Not far away, there was a happy roar from the soldiers.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao's gloomy eyes finally lit up, and he jumped on the horse without saying a word.

"All officers and men obey the order! Kill!"

Cen Xiao had a smile on his face, he knew that he would win this round!

Everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled, and the shouts became much louder.

On the city gate, Shen Wantang spotted the location of the mechanism at a glance, and quickly stepped forward. He knocked the man guarding the switch to the ground with one punch, then raised his long knife and chopped off the switch.

The mechanism that was throwing stones just now stopped working instantly.

Under the city gate, all the soldiers rushed forward.

There were only a few people guarding the city gate, and they broke it open in just a few strokes.

Above the city gate, the red tassel on Shen Wantang's sleeve fluttered in the wind.

Cen Xiao looked at her with a firm gaze and raised the corner of his mouth slowly - here I come.

The army rushed into the city gate and headed straight towards Chen's mansion.

Shen Wantang jumped down and landed right on the horse's back. She picked up the discarded bow and arrow on the ground, put it on her back, and rode towards Chen's house.

The red tassel fluttered in the wind, and the tenacity in her eyes was obvious.

"It doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge me." Zhang Shan snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and placed his hand mysteriously on his chest.

After he took his hand out from his chest, a fish symbol for dispatching troops appeared on his hand: "30% of the troops in Shancheng are in my hands. If you don't believe me, I naturally have plenty of ways to convince you."

Looking at the complacent Zhang Shan, even though everyone was gritting their teeth in hatred, they really couldn't say anything now.

"Everyone, I don't mean to be an enemy of you. For the sake of the people of Mountain City, please consider this carefully!"

Zhang Shan walked forward slowly and sat down lazily, a smile of victory already showing on his face. He picked up the wine glass and pretended to take a sip, as if to celebrate himself in advance.

Hearing this, everyone frowned and looked at each other - if they were to submit to such a talentless person, it would be better to leave the mountain city as it was before.

"It would be a huge joke if everyone submitted to you!"

A voice came in, as loud as a bell.

Then, an arrow flew over and landed right on Zhang Shan's chair.

Everyone turned their heads and their eyes lit up.

Shen Wantang walked forward with firm steps, holding a bow in his left hand and raising the envelope high in his right hand.

"Zhang Shan, do you admit your guilt?"

Shen Wantang frowned and spoke in a cold voice.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, they were frightened by the swarming army - looking at the imperial army, everyone subconsciously hid backwards.

Cen Xiao followed Shen Wantang closely, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and glanced at everyone in the front hall with fierce eyes.

"Shen Wantang, are you a rat or a cockroach? You can even escape from the dungeon? It seems that I really underestimated you. I should have killed you on the spot when I caught you!"

Zhang Shan snorted coldly, pulled out the arrow that was stuck in the seat, and broke the arrow into two without saying a word.

"You have murdered the people and killed the good people. This is what you have done!"

Shen Wantang snorted coldly, opened the envelope, and slowly unfolded the contents to show them to the people from the mountain city nearby.

"Are you familiar with this craftsman Wang?" Shen Wantang's eyes were filled with anger, and his gaze was dark.

Everyone recognized it at a glance.

Zhang Shan, who was sitting on the seat, was even more panicked for a moment. He suddenly stood up and was about to rush forward.

Cen Xiao rushed forward, pressing his sword against Zhang Shan's neck, his eyes as cold as ice in winter.

"The mechanisms that protect the mountain city now were all made by Craftsman Wang. He made more than a hundred mechanisms in two years, but in the end, he was imprisoned in a basement by the thief Zhang Shan, and died with hatred!"

After he finished speaking, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.

Everyone's eyes were shocked, and they stared at Shen Wantang in disbelief.

"Is what you said true?" The old man's voice trembled, and his eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, trembled along with it.

Shen Wantang raised his hand high: "I swear in the name of my late mother, if I tell even a single lie, I will not die a good death!"

"Artisan Wang risked his life to leave behind a testimony, which is in the black iron cage in the basement!"
