Chapter 667

Traitors like Tian Feng, Yuan Tan, Xu You, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping, under Gu Yi's leadership, had long since transformed into the sharpest blade stabbing at Ye City!

……

Those hundred or so dead soldiers from the Tian family on the city tower did not have the ability to seize the city gate.

But… their betrayal directly caused the collapse and flight of many soldiers on the city tower!

How could the Ye City garrison, already on the verge of collapse, withstand this kind of stimulation?

In an instant,

the city tower turned into a scene of chaos.

And Shen Pei himself hurriedly retreated.

It was not that he was cowardly, but that he understood he absolutely could not die here.

Once he died, this Ye City would likely fall in less than a quarter of an hour.

However,

in the current situation, was it really up to Shen Pei whether he could escape or not?

Gu Yi officially issued the order to attack the city.

With the chaos on the city tower, only a handful of soldiers were still organizing a defense.

Relying on this little defensive strength, they could not block Gu Yi's grand army at all.

Soon,

the West City Gate, which suffered the fiercest attack first, was officially captured by Gu Yi's army amidst a roar.

Shen Pei himself was captured by Xu Sheng personally.

Before being captured, Shen Pei wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

But who was Xu Sheng?

Constantly breaking through his own limits, he easily stopped Shen Pei like an eagle catching a little chick.

Soon,

Ye City, this sturdy city, after the garrison's will collapsed, only held out for less than three quarters of an hour before falling into Gu Yi's hands.

Besides Shen Pei,

Yuan Shao's second wife, Lady Liu, and his third son, Yuan Shang, also became captives.

As for the heads of the major Jizhou aristocratic families,

Gu Yi was too lazy to even look at them for a single glance.

There was nothing to say about these guys; just cut them all down.

Gu Yi didn't need their service at all.

The relationship between the two sides had long since reached the point of life and death.

And it is worth mentioning that

the triumphant Yuan Tan walked aggressively to the side of his captured third brother, Yuan Shang.

He spat fiercely at Yuan Shang.

Looking at Yuan Shang's expression of wanting to kill him but being unable to, Yuan Tan felt incredibly satisfied!

However,

Gu Yi's goal was not to let Yuan Tan show off.

He waved his hand, and important captives like Lady Liu, Yuan Shang, and Shen Pei were all escorted to the Provincial Governor's Mansion, ready to accept their sentences.

Seeing this, Yuan Tan, looking like a human but acting like a dog, followed closely behind Gu Yi.

To this, Gu Yi responded with a spring-breeze-like smile.

If anyone who truly understood Gu Yi saw this scene, they would likely mourn for Yuan Tan.

It is just a pity that

Yuan Tan, this big idiot, could not see the deep meaning contained behind Gu Yi's smile.

At this moment, Yuan Tan's heart was still fantasizing about the beautiful scene of Gu Yi letting him control Jizhou afterward.

Harboring such wonderful fantasies, Yuan Tan followed Gu Yi to the Ye City Provincial Governor's Mansion.

However,

the scene Yuan Tan had anticipated—Gu Yi taking him along to judge Yuan Shang—did not appear.

On the contrary, Gu Yi did not even allow Yuan Tan to enter the Provincial Governor's Mansion.

Helpless, the expectant Yuan Tan had to stand outside the Provincial Governor's Mansion, waiting for Gu Yi to judge Yuan Shang and the others.

Two quarters of an hour later,

just as Yuan Tan was preparing to turn and enter the Provincial Governor's Mansion to see the situation inside,

the disheveled Yuan Shang suddenly rushed out of the Provincial Governor's Mansion, clawing and scratching.

His eyes were scarlet; he seemed to have gone mad.

In his hand, he gripped a sword named "Wild Goose Moon."

This sword was the ancestral sword of the Yuan family that Yuan Shao had left in the Ye City Provincial Governor's Mansion.

"Puchi!"

Yuan Shang gripped the sword and stabbed at Yuan Tan!

The blade sank into Yuan Tan's body.

At the moment of death, Yuan Tan didn't even know why such a sudden change had occurred.

In those two quarters of an hour, what exactly had happened inside the Provincial Governor's Mansion?
