Chapter 57 Stealing a Home
In March, Lord Mo led an army of 300,000 and a group of martial arts masters to leave Beijiang City.

One hundred thousand soldiers and two generals at the level of martial arts masters were left behind to temporarily guard Beijiang City.

Yan Chengyun, Mo Ruyan and other family members of the King Wu's Mansion, as well as the people of Beijiang City, watched Mo Shenjun and others leave, their eyes filled with worry, uneasiness, and a hint of expectation.

Lai Yang stood at the highest point of the King Wu's Palace, watching Lord Mo lead an army of 300,000 to leave in a mighty manner, and silently wished him success in his heart.

After Lord Mo and the others left, Beijiang City returned to peace, with occasional battle reports coming from the front line.

Fortunately, they have not heard any bad news from the front line yet.

"Victory! Great victory! In just half a month, the Mo family army successfully captured a city and annihilated ten thousand enemy troops in a single battle."

"The Silver Armor Army launched a surprise attack on the enemy camp and beheaded the enemy general, Grandmaster. Celebrate!"

"The prince divided his troops and crossed the river. The Silver Armored Army went around and outflanked them. The noble families in the city opened the gates and surrendered. Then we can capture another city!"

Only a month had passed since Lord Mo led his troops south, and good news from the front lines had been streaming into Beijiang City one after another, making everyone there rejoice.

They seemed to see hope for the future, but they only regretted that they had to guard Beijiang City and could not follow the prince south to fight bloody battles on the battlefield.

Yan Chengyun and Mo Ruyan managed the affairs of Prince Wu's Mansion in an orderly manner.

Yan Chengyun would keep a copy of every message sent back from the front line. She even enshrined a Buddha statue in her room and specially asked a master to consecrate it. She would pray to the statue every day, praying for Lord Mo's safe return.

She knew very well that Lord Mo was in great danger of death on this journey.

Although her husband is the most powerful king of a different surname in Dayan, her royal brother is by no means an ordinary person either.

Obviously, both of them were important people in her life, but they were fighting for their lives, and she could do nothing about it.

The royal family is ruthless and the emperor is unrighteous. Since ancient times, no one has been able to escape their fate.

Although Lai Yang did not deliberately try to understand the battle situation on the front line, he often heard the storyteller's narration when he was listening to books, and he had a general idea of ​​it.

He still lived a quiet life as usual, sometimes helping the patrol troops of Beijiang City to deal with some difficult problems, sometimes accompanying Mo Ruyan to play around, and sometimes going to the brothel alone to listen to music, drink and enjoy the beauty and graceful dance of the beauties, but he only did it for free and never took the initiative to give a penny of reward.

He never takes the initiative to travel with others, but he is very popular in Beijiang City. Firstly, it is because of his relationship with the Prince Wu's Mansion, and secondly, it is because he does not have the airs of a big shot and often helps and cares for people in need.

If he had not offered advice to Prince Wu's Palace, who knows how many more people would have starved to death or frozen to death in the winter.

It is also because of his existence that the idle people in the Northern Frontier City, the sons of noble families, and the wealthy businessmen no longer dare to bully ordinary people at will.

The painful and heavy lesson of the Li Dao Sect is still vivid in our minds.

Time slips quietly between fingers.

More than half a month has passed since the last battle report, and there has been no new news from the front line.

Normally, news should be sent back at least once every half a month, but now there is not even a letter.

The atmosphere in Prince Wu's mansion became somewhat uneasy and heavy.

At this moment, the rumbling sound of war drums and horns in Beijiang City suddenly rang out, and everyone's face changed drastically.

People who were born and raised in Northern Frontier City were well aware of what this sudden horn sound meant.

The barbarians are attacking!
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops gathered outside the pass. They were carrying various siege weapons and formed a black mass.

They wanted to take over Beijiang City in one fell swoop while Lord Mo was away.

Once Beijiang City falls into the hands of the northern barbarians, the nearby people and cities will suffer.

The army left behind in the city quickly assembled, and two generals at the level of martial arts masters also stood on the top of the city wall, their expressions solemn and stern.

Even though Kemmerdar was dead, they were still able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the city in such a short time, and the number of troops was even much larger than the one Kemmerdar had brought before.

However, these are not the most important things. There are still 100,000 troops in Beijiang City, and there is enough food and grass. It is not a problem to hold out for a few months.

What made them uneasy was who could have brought so many tribes of the northern grasslands to submission in such a short period of time. Suo Yingzhuo? While clever and strategic, his mixed heritage meant that without absolute strength, the northern barbarians would never truly recognize his status. This was one of the key reasons why Lord Mo had dared to use him as a pawn to lurk beside Kemmerdar.

Without giving them much time to think or consider, the barbarian army launched a charge amidst the thunderous sound of drums, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The people of Beijiang City set up various city defense equipment, including bows and crossbows, catapults, and boiled fresh gold juice (manure water).

In the distance, four people stood in front of Suo Yingzhuo, one of whom was the barbarian general who had led the army before.

There are also three people whose martial arts aura is no less than that of the barbarian general. They are all sixth-grade martial arts masters.

The Barbarian General looked at the three men with fear in his eyes. These three men appeared in their tribe a month ago and used cruel means to control the leaders of several of their tribes and forced them to surrender.

Now he ordered them to gather an army of 300,000 to attack Beijiang City.

Little did they know that there were still 100,000 soldiers guarding Beijiang City. Even if they had 300,000 soldiers, they might not be able to capture Beijiang City in one fell swoop.

Even if they capture it by force, there will be heavy casualties and they will eventually become fish on the chopping board of others.

"Sir, if this continues, no matter how many of our people die, we will never be able to capture Beijiang City."

Suo Yingzhuo looked at the tragic battle in the distance and couldn't help but speak.

"Let's go, it's our turn to take action." A sixth-grade martial arts master among the four spoke.

They found out that Lord Mo had taken away most of the combat power of Beijiang City, and the strongest ones left behind were only two martial arts masters.

As long as the four of them work together to kill the two, taking Beijiang City will be as easy as taking candy from a baby for them.

They would never have imagined that in addition to the two martial arts master generals guarding Beijiang City, Lord Mo also had an ace hidden.

Most of the spies they sent were dealt with by the secret guards of Prince Wu's Palace, so they didn't know that there was actually a terrifying and powerful man in Beijiang City.

The four martial arts masters climbed up the ladder in a few moves and stood on the wall of Beijiang City. As soon as they appeared, they turned into killing beasts on the battlefield, taking away a life every time they attacked.

"Martial arts masters! They are martial arts masters!"

"Damn it! Four martial arts masters appeared at the same time! When did these barbarians become so powerful?!"

"We must not let them open the city gates. We must stop them even if we die!"

"kill!!!"

Soon, two martial arts masters from Beijiang City appeared, shouting with anger on their faces:
"How dare you massacre our Northern Frontier City soldiers? Die!"
