Catching Monsters

Chapter 291 It seems there will be no reinforcements.
Soon, Jiang Yun led Feng Beier back to the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion, where wedding arrangements were being made.

He quickly gathered everyone together and brought them to the main hall of the Marquis of Weiwu's residence.

Once everyone was gathered, Jiang Yun quickly stepped forward and solemnly recounted the events that had trapped them in a dream.

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, each with a different look.

“Son-in-law, what are you saying? How could we be in a dream?”

"That's right..."

The family members and servants of the Marquis Weiwu present all changed their expressions slightly, expressing disbelief.

Of course, their reaction was within Jiang Yun's expectations. Jiang Yun stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, let me ask you, apart from the people in the manor..."

"Can you still recall what the other people outside the manor look like?"

This is what Jiang Yun discovered in his dream.

Aside from being captivated by the appearances of the people in the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion.

The people outside the mansion, after just meeting, could not recall her face no matter how hard they tried to remember.

Those present exchanged glances, trying to recall...

Soon, everyone present realized that they could not remember the faces of the others.

Jiang Yun said with a stern face, "This dream world is about to disappear. If we don't get out soon, we may really die here."

Everyone looked at each other.

At this moment, someone in the crowd asked, "Since the young master says we are in a dream, is there any way to leave?"

This dream world is so real that even if you realize you're in a dream, you can't easily leave.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yun quickly had two stools brought over, and then brought bedding to be laid on the ground.

Then he pulled an old servant in his thirties from the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion onto a stool.

"Fall backwards."

Feeling of weightlessness.

When a person is in a dream, they will wake up instantly once they feel weightlessness.

After looking around, the old servant took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair.

She fell heavily onto the bedding.

After standing up, the old servant's eyes had become somewhat vacant.

Jiang Yun understood that this person had successfully escaped from the dream. Jiang Yun quickly had the other people from the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion stand on the platform one by one, using this method to escape from the dream.

Soon, only Jiang Yun and Feng Beier remained.

Feng Beier stood to the side the whole time. She looked at Jiang Yun, reached out and stood on a chair: "Jiang Yun, let's go out together."

Jiang Yun nodded, his face grim. He didn't know how long this dream could last.

After quickly standing on the chair, Jiang Yun leaned back.

The feeling of weightlessness came over me instantly.

But when Jiang Yun landed in mid-air, his pupils contracted slightly, because Feng Beier did not lean back. Instead, she stood on the chair and looked at Jiang Yun with complicated eyes: "You can go out first. I still have something to do."

"I'll come out after I'm done."

For an instant.

Jiang Yun suddenly sat up from the ground.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was back in that room, where Master Miaode, Feng Yu, Ao Yu, Yang Liunian, and others were all.

Oops!

Jiang Yun realized that Feng Beier hadn't come out yet!

He quickly got up from the ground and looked at the bronze mirror.

Sure enough, Feng Beier in the bronze mirror did not leave. Instead, she instructed the many servants in the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion to begin setting up the wedding venue. She wanted to marry Jiang Yun in her dream.

"Sigh." Jiang Yun couldn't help but sigh and shake his head helplessly.

At this moment, Master Miaode beside him also frowned, the Buddhist light in his hands growing stronger, and he said in a deep voice, "The dream world won't last much longer..."

……

In a dream.

Feng Beier had already changed into a red wedding dress, and everyone from the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion stood on both sides.

She looked at Jiang Yun beside her with loving eyes, whose gaze was numb.

She knew that Jiang Yun had already left, and the young master Jiang in front of her was just a substitute in her dream.

boom.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and Feng Beier knew that, as Jiang Yun had just said, the dream world was about to collapse and be annihilated.

"let's start."

"Worship heaven and earth."

"Two thanks to the high hall."

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

The violent shaking threatened to destroy the entire Marquis of Weiwu's mansion.

Feng Beier almost lost her balance.

But she still insisted on completing all the rituals.

She looked at the 'Jiang Yun' in front of her and slowly said, "Young Master Jiang, we'll meet again outside of this dream."

After doing all this, she quickly jumped onto a chair and leaned back. But in that instant, the entire dream tore into countless fragments.

……

Jiang Yun frowned deeply as he looked at the scene reflected in the bronze mirror.

"Quickly, to the Marquis of Weiwu's residence." Jiang Yun took a deep breath. If Feng Beier didn't escape from the bronze mirror in time...

There was no way to rescue her then.

Feng Yu's face turned ashen, and he quickly ran outside. His Majesty's order was that no one in the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion should die.

But if Feng Beier does this, she might die in the dream.

How should he explain this to His Majesty?

On the way to the Marquis of Weiwu's residence, the only one who was not worried about this matter was probably Ao Yu.

Ao Yu followed behind the group as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help but complain to Jiang Yun: "What have you done? How could you make this Miss Feng so infatuated with you?"

"I..." Jiang Yun opened her mouth slightly and gave Ao Yu a helpless glare.

Soon, the group arrived at the Marquis of Weiwu's residence, where all those who had been unconscious had woken up.

Jiang Yun and the others looked anxiously into the crowd.

Finally, Feng Beier slowly emerged from the crowd, a happy smile on her face, and said, "Young Master Jiang, I've come out just in time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Feng, do you know how dangerous what you're doing is?"

"Is Young Master Jiang concerned about me?" Feng Beier asked in return.

Jiang Yun gritted his teeth slightly and said in a deep voice, "His Majesty's order is that no one in the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion should die. If you die, everyone will be punished."

Hearing Jiang Yun's reply, Feng Beier blinked: "But I can still sense that you care about me."

……

Inside the Imperial Study, Feng Yu finally returned, feeling much better, and reported to Xiao Yuzheng on the events of the day.

After listening, Xiao Yuzheng nodded in satisfaction and slowly said, "According to what you said, Marquis Weiwu's Feng Beier is quite in love with Jiang Yun?"

"Yes." Feng Yu smiled wryly and shook his head slightly, saying, "I don't know where Jiang Yun got such good fortune to be able to win the hearts of the young ladies from both the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Weiwu's Mansion."

"What a pity." Feng Yu shook his head slightly.

If there is a significant disparity in status between the two parties, it is possible to take one of them as a concubine.

However, neither the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion nor the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion held a low status in the capital, making it impossible for either of them to become a concubine.

"It's good that everything is alright." Xiao Yuzheng breathed a slight sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "The front line has already surrounded the Hu army. The Marquis of Weiwu must not be allowed to make any mistakes."

At this point, Xiao Yuzheng slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Send a letter to the front lines and launch a general offensive."

……

Quexian Town.

An army of 180,000 Hu people is stationed here.

This place is less than a hundred miles from Jianchi Pass, but the retreat route behind it has been completely blocked by the 50,000-strong army of Marquis Weiwu.

The Zhenchi Army and the Tianqi Army have also joined forces and are following closely behind.

Wanyan Shi knew he couldn't continue.

Further north, they were blocked by the army of Marquis Feng Jin, while the Zhenchi Army and Tianqi Army caught up from behind.

Being sandwiched between two sides with no defensible position, it will only result in a crushing defeat.

Therefore, for now, we can only rely on Quexian Town for defense.

The people of Quexian Town had mostly fled long ago, leaving only the Hu army in the town.

Inside a mansion in Quexian Town, Wanyan Shi, along with a group of Hu generals, was sitting in the living room discussing defense matters.

Then, Wanyan Shi looked at Qi Xinyi and asked, "Mr. Qi, with your strength, you can take the head of an enemy general even in the midst of a massive army. Can you kill Marquis Feng Jin?"

Qi Xin slowly opened her eyes and said calmly, "The experts beside Feng Jin can't stop me."

"But the question is, how do we find him?"

When two armies clash, their generals and commanders will conceal themselves to prevent the enemy's top experts from finding them.

Wanyan Shi frowned slightly; there wasn't much food left.

The morale of the Hu army also plummeted.

Even below, signs were beginning to emerge that some Hu soldiers were secretly deserting their units.

It was only after this was discovered that Wanyan Shi killed dozens of deserters that the trend gradually subsided.

However, the soldiers were in a state of panic, and this was a problem that could not be solved by killing people.

"General, if all else fails, let the cavalry break out and escape. We still have nearly ten thousand cavalrymen; these Zhou troops cannot stop us."

"Even if we lose, we must send the cavalry back."

"otherwise……"

Wanyan Shi nodded slightly, understanding in his heart that this was a last resort, a desperate measure.

If I were to lose all of these cavalrymen here...

Then I would truly become a sinner of the Wanyan tribe.

Wanyan Shi took a deep breath and slowly said, "Give the order to have all cavalry assemble and prepare to break out."

"The rest of us will hold our ground in Quexian Town and await reinforcements."

Of course, everyone knew in their hearts that there were probably no reinforcements coming.
