Yan Qianqian

The two guards watching the camp saw Yue Yi approaching from afar and hurried forward to bow in salute, greeting in unison: "Commander Yue Yi!"

Yue Yi stopped and looked at the two guards, asking directly: "Is Fourth Young Master inside?"

The guards replied in unison: "He is."

Yue Yi pondered briefly, then said: "Please report this; tell him I have an important matter to inform Fourth Young Master of."

The guards answered: "Yes!" Then turned and hurried into the tent, shouting loudly: "Reporting to the General, Commander Yue Yi requests an audience!"

Yan Wang inside the tent heard the voice, felt slightly surprised in his heart, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Yue Yi?"

The guard beside him saw this and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Yan Wang saw this, dared not hesitate, immediately rose and quickly walked out of the tent.

Just as he stepped out of the tent, Yan Wang saw a figure dressed in black tight-fitting clothes; he looked closely and realized it was Yue Yi. Yan Wang was delighted and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Brother Wang, why have you come?"

Hearing Yan Wang's shout, Yue Yi immediately hurried forward to meet him; his face had no extra expression, and he simply replied concisely: "Master sent me."

Yan Wang's heart stirred, and he urgently asked: "Father, does Father have some news to tell me?"

Yue Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, let's go inside to talk."

Yan Wang saw this and understood clearly; he knew this matter probably should not be made public, so he no longer asked further, merely replied casually: "Fine." After speaking, he turned and quickly walked back into the tent, with Yue Yi following closely behind.

After entering the tent, Yan Wang did not sit down but stood directly, his eyes fixed on Yue Yi, as if waiting for him to speak.

Yue Yi hesitated not at all and spoke directly: "Prince Li is dead, the news is absolutely reliable. Moreover, the thirty thousand troops Prince Li privately raised are currently stationed outside Yi Tai Cheng, and the people the Emperor sent have not yet arrived."

Hearing this, Yan Wang's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly: "Doesn't that mean I can go and take down those thirty thousand troops right now!"

The corners of Yue Yi's mouth curved slightly, revealing a smile of appreciation, and he said: "Fourth Young Master is indeed exceptionally intelligent. Since that is the case, I won't say more; I'll take my leave first."

Yan Wang hurriedly said: "Thank you, Brother Wang, for specially running to deliver the letter. Times are different now; when we return to Kyoto, I will definitely treat you to a good meal!"

Yue Yi said respectfully: "This is all within a subordinate's duty; it is not worth mentioning."

Yan Wang waved his hand and said: "I won't keep you any longer; I must hurry to mobilize the troops and set out." Yue Yi hurriedly answered: "Very well, Fourth Young Master." After speaking, the two walked out of the tent together.

After leaving the military camp, Yue Yi rushed back to An Wang's side without stopping, while Yan Wang immediately instructed the soldiers beside him: "Hurry and call Ai Jiao and Tang Qi for me!"

The soldiers knew the matter was urgent and dared not delay in the slightest; they immediately went to notify the two with hurried steps.

Tang Qi and Ai Jiao, seeing the soldiers so hurried, already understood in their hearts that something important must have happened, so they no longer dawdled, quickly tidied their luggage, and walked together toward Yan Wang's tent.

The two met unexpectedly on the road, smiled at each other, then quickened their pace and rushed toward Yan Wang's tent together.

Yan Wang saw the two approaching from afar and shouted loudly: "Tang Qi, you immediately mobilize the troops; I will lead sixty thousand men and horses to Yi Tai Cheng!"

Although Tang Qi did not yet know the reason for this expedition, seeing Yan Wang's anxious expression, he dared not ask further and immediately accepted the order and left.

Yan Wang turned to look at Ai Jiao and said: "You also hurry and tidy up; come with me to Yi Tai Cheng." Ai Jiao said nothing more, answered, and left, quickly putting on his armor and weapons.

Not long after, the sixty thousand great army had finished assembling; Yan Wang stood on a high platform, looking at the neatly lined-up soldiers, and a surge of heroic emotion rose in his heart.

Yan Wang nimbly mounted his horse; his movements were as natural and smooth as flowing clouds and water. He sat steadily on the horseback, his gaze falling on Tang Qi, and said solemnly: "Tang Qi, this camp is entrusted to you; you must guard it well!"

Hearing this, Tang Qi responded without hesitation: "Brother Wang, rest assured, I will do my utmost and absolutely not betray your trust!" His voice was loud and powerful, revealing firmness and confidence.

Yan Wang nodded slightly, showing his trust in Tang Qi. Then he turned to look at Ai Jiao; their eyes met, and they understood each other tacitly. Seeing this, Ai Jiao shouted loudly: "Set out!!!"

With this shout, the soldiers holding the flags quickly raised the Yan Family Army's flag high. The flag fluttered in the air, as if cheering on this troop.

Under Yan Wang's leadership, the entire force marched mightily toward Yi Tai Cheng. Their footsteps were neat and uniform, like thunder, with an imposing momentum.

When the troop passed Yifeng City, it aroused the curiosity of the city's people. They stopped to watch, their eyes revealing curiosity and awe toward this army.

However, because the Dachang Army had not harmed the people after occupying Yifeng City, the people, besides briefly gathering to watch, took no other special actions. They continued to do their respective jobs and live their lives.

After passing Yifeng City, they drew ever closer to Yi Tai Cheng. At the city gate of Yi Tai Cheng, many soldiers stood ready for battle. Because Yifeng City had fallen, Yi Tai Cheng had become a border place, its strategic importance growing ever greater.

And Yi Tai Cheng was precisely where Prince Li privately raised his troops. This place was remote, far from the Emperor's reach, easy to hide in, and not easily noticed by the Chao Ting.

The Nan Liang soldiers saw the large flag with the Yan character in the distance, and their hearts tightened; they immediately realized the Dachang Army was coming to attack.

The soldier on watch duty, seeing this, hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "The enemy army is attacking! Quickly close the city gate!"

This shout caused the originally relatively calm city gate area to instantly become agitated.

The soldiers guarding the gate heard the alarm and dared not delay in the slightest; they quickly acted, working together to push the extremely heavy city gate. With a series of dull "creak" sounds, the gate slowly closed, bit by bit.

Yan Wang and the others saw the gate closing from afar and were anxious, but they were ultimately too late. Watching the gate about to close completely, they could only watch helplessly, powerless to do anything.

Soon, the Dachang Army surged to the foot of the city like a tide, forming a standoff with the Nan Liang Army.

Ai Jiao stood before the formation and shouted loudly at the people on the city tower: "Surrender and you won't be killed! Surrender quickly!" His voice echoed outside the empty city gate, deafening.
