After leaving Zuiyue Tower, Chen Ye took a sedan chair back to the City Lord's Mansion.

When he was sitting in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the servant just brought him tea.

At this time, two maids in their prime walked in, neatly dressed.

They approached Chen Ye, with a hint of resentment in their eyes, and said, "Sir, isn't it enough to have us two sisters serving you? Why do you often go to the brothel to look for those strange women?"

Chen Ye drank his tea calmly, glanced at them, and then responded with a smile: "The dishes at home are delicious, but it's not a bad idea to change the taste and try some game from outside!"

Hearing this, the two maids' faces turned ugly.

If it weren't for the sect leader's order, they would never have submitted to the womanizing Chen Ye.

Although they were filled with anger, they still suppressed it. One of the maids in red said, "The sect master once ordered that you should be more restrained in the near future and reduce the number of times you go in and out of the brothel. Today, the situation of defending the city is critical, and Beiyou City needs to be ready for reinforcements at any time. I hope you can understand."

"Reinforce Tianhu City?" Chen Ye glared at them and asked helplessly, "What can I use to reinforce? Can I rely on the less than a thousand remaining soldiers in Beiyou City?"

The red-dressed woman frowned and urged anxiously: "Because of this, my lord, you should act quickly and actively recruit soldiers! The clan leader is leading our brothers and sisters in a desperate fight with the monk army in Tianhu City, but you are still drinking and having fun here every day. Now, you should also share some of the pressure for the clan leader!"

Chen Ye waved his hand impatiently and interrupted her: "Okay, I get it."

At this moment, a soldier rushed in from outside in a panic, shouting breathlessly: "Sir, it's bad! The monk army suddenly attacked!"

Hearing this, Chen Ye’s face turned pale and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

He stood up suddenly and asked sternly, "How is it possible? Aren't the monks in Tianhu City? Why would they turn to Beiyou City?"

"Sir, I never lied," the soldier replied solemnly, "The monk army has indeed arrived at the city."

"Then how many people are they?" Chen Ye asked.

"Outside the city... There are too many people outside the city to count, they are all monks!" The soldier answered tremblingly.

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he turned around without hesitation and ran to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, the two maids hurried forward and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

"Hurry! Pack up, we have to run!" Chen Ye shouted without looking back.

Two maids followed closely behind him, holding his arms and comforting him: "Sir, please be patient. The main force of the bhikkhu army is concentrating on attacking Tianhu City. The ones outside the city may be their small forces..."

"Didn't you hear?" Chen Ye interrupted them loudly, "Outside the city are all monks, how can it be just a small force! I warn you, if you don't leave, we will all die!" He anxiously urged them to leave quickly.

The two maids frowned secretly, feeling equally confused.

The monk army was clearly stationed in Tianhu City, so how could they suddenly appear in Beiyou City? The leader had no news about this.

Chen Ye glanced at them, then looked at the followers beside him and shouted sternly: "What are you waiting for? Go pack your things!"

The followers seemed to have just woken up from a dream, responded in unison, and hurried to Chen Ye's bedroom.

Chen Ye followed closely behind, muttering something, but it was unclear what he was saying.

As the monk army attacked, the city lord Chen Ye took the lead in packing up valuables and preparing to flee, and the soldiers under his command naturally had no intention of resisting.

Outside the city, the monk army led by Lu Jingyuan easily climbed to the top of the city with just one round of attack.

After they climbed to the top of the city wall, they saw weapons, armor and rebel uniforms all over the ground, but no sign of a rebel.

It turned out that the defenders of Beiyou City had dropped their weapons, taken off their uniforms and fled.

Lu Jingyuan led an army of more than a thousand monks and captured Beiyou City without making any noise.

The entire army successfully entered the city without any fighting and without any casualties.

After entering the city, they encountered zero resistance and easily captured the city.

At the same time, Chen Ye, taking the two female favorites given to him by the Yun Huan Sect and his entourage, borrowed a carriage, quietly slipped away from the south gate of Beiyou City, and hurriedly fled towards Tianhu City.

Chen Ye fled in such a hurry that he had no time to even take care of his family. Like a stray dog, he rushed to Tianhu City day and night.

Upon learning that Beiyou City had fallen and City Lord Chen Ye had fled to Tianhu City, Yunhuan Sect's leader Yan Jue's blood boiled and he almost fainted.

He knew very well that once Beiyou City was lost, Tianhu City would be like an isolated city with no way to retreat.

Before, Beiyou City could still serve as their backup, and if they were defeated by the Bhikkhu Army, they could still retreat; but now, Beiyou City has been lost, and Tianhu City is isolated and helpless.

When Yan Jue saw Chen Ye, he could not suppress his anger. He pointed at Chen Ye's nose and angrily asked, "Chen Ye, you lost Beiyou City, how dare you come to see me?"

It turns out that this damn old man is the leader of the Yunhuan Sect!

Chen Ye hurried forward, saluted, and said anxiously: "Master, I am not responsible for the capture of Beiyou City. It was the monk army that attacked suddenly, like a drop from the sky, and I was completely unprepared!"

Yan Jue looked at him and asked, "Why didn't you resist and instead abandoned the city and fled?"

Chen Ye looked helpless: "Master, it's not that I don't want to resist, but I'm really powerless. If we hadn't run fast, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have the chance to see you." He pointed at the two maids beside him, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaomei and Xiaoxia."

These two maids were the concubines that Yan Jue had placed beside Chen Ye in order to monitor and control him and make him obey his orders.

At this moment, hearing Chen Ye's explanation, Xiaoxia and Xiaomei sighed inwardly, knowing that it was not appropriate to go against Chen Ye at this moment, otherwise, even if Chen Ye was at fault, they would be held responsible.

The two girls looked at each other, and Xiao Mei said, "Master, the attack by the bhikkhu army was too sudden, and we were unprepared. The defenders of Beiyou City are few and weak, and obviously cannot compete with the bhikkhu army."

After hearing this, Yan Jue waved his hand angrily, stopping Xiao Mei's explanation, and said firmly: "The loss is a fact, no need to say more."

He turned to the elder Guan Peng beside him and asked in a deep voice: "Elder Guan, now that Beiyou City has been lost and Tianhu City is fighting alone, how should we respond?"

Guan Peng, the elder of the Yunhuan Sect, was frowning in thought.

At this time, Chen Ye cautiously interrupted and said, "Master, since the monk army has attacked Beiyou, the enemy outside Tianhu City must be short of manpower. We can choose to attack the enemy camp at night, which may achieve unexpected results."

After hearing this, Yan Jue thought that this proposal was worth considering, so he turned to Guan Peng and asked, "Elder Guan, what do you think?"
