Remarried to a top-tier playboy, her reborn ex-husband is filled with regret.

On the long street, all the Northern Hu cavalrymen reined in their horses.

Someone recognized Xiao Fang first, their eyes widening as if they had seen a ghost.

"It's him! How could it be him!"

The man's voice cracked.

The Northern Hu soldiers next to them looked in the direction of the sound, and their faces turned pale in an instant after just one glance.

"Xiao Fang? Isn't he still a month away from arriving?"

"That's not what the letter said! How did he get here!"

Someone instinctively reined in their horse and took a half-step back.

The horses pawed restlessly and neighed anxiously.

A younger Northern Hu soldier could barely hold his curved sword; the tip trembled violently.

"Hurry! Let's go!"

The others behind them were also pale-faced, no longer displaying the arrogance they had shown when entering the city.

The entire riding team, like a pack of wolves with their throats being choked, instinctively shrank back.

Someone on horseback hunched over, as if ready to flee at any moment.

Someone stared intently at Xiao Fang, large beads of sweat rolling down their forehead.

Even the horses beneath them began to circle incessantly, as if they had smelled something extremely dangerous.

The leading general, Agumu, was not afraid.

He spat and slapped the horse's rump hard with the back of his knife.

"What's the panic! He's all alone! I'll chop off his head today and serve it to the king as a side dish!"

The second prince also saw Xiao Fang.

His pupils contracted, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

The scene of Xiao Fang leading eight hundred men to chase down seventy thousand remnants of the army outside Pingge Beach last time came to mind again.

His hand, which was on the horse, trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid!" The Second Prince brandished his sword. "There are many of us! Xiao Fang only has two shoulders and one head!"

But even his own voice trembled slightly.

Agumu glanced back and gritted his teeth.

"I'll take half the men to hold him off! Your Highness, lead the rest of the troops and break out from the city gate!"

The second prince turned his horse around almost without thinking.

"Take more men with you! After we return to the royal court, I will personally report to my father that you have been rewarded!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already whipped his whip and charged off.

His personal guards followed closely behind.

The Northern Hu soldiers who were left behind turned even paler when they saw the Second Prince had fled.

Some people even started breathing rapidly.

"Your Highness...Your Highness is gone!"

"We've been abandoned!"

But Agumu's eyes had turned red, and he suddenly raised his scimitar.

"Charge with me! Kill Xiao Fang, and we'll get out of here alive!"

His roar temporarily suppressed the fear of the crowd.

Agumu was the first to spur his horse and charge out.

The remaining Northern Hu soldiers roared and followed.

But those roars already carried a sense of dying struggle.

From the direction of the city gate, the Second Prince and his men had just rushed to the foot of the city.

Then a clapper sounded from the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, countless crossbows emerged from the wall, their dark arrows aimed at them.

"Release the arrows!"

The sound of something whistling through the air filled the air.

Arrows rained down from the sky.

The second prince grabbed a guard and stood in front of him.

The guard let out a muffled groan as he was riddled with arrows.

He grabbed another one.

"Block them! All of you, block them for me!"

One after another, the Northern Hu soldiers fell.

Some people wanted to retreat, but their escape route had already been blocked by a hail of arrows.

"The city gates are blocked!"

"We can't get out!"

The second prince huddled behind the corpse, his jaw trembling, his shoulders and calves covered in blood.

He was still shouting.

"Keep going! Keep going, we'll definitely get out!"

But very few people can stand up anymore.

At the other end of the long street, Xiao Fang and Agumu were already locked in battle.

Agumu rushed to Xiao Fang's side.

He was more than a head taller than Xiao Fang, with broad shoulders, a thick back, and arms as thick as small tree stumps. When he swung his curved knife, it brought with it a gust of bloody wind.

Xiao Fang did not take the hit head-on.

He shifted his body slightly, his long sword slid along the back of Agumu's blade, and then slashed at Agumu's waist with his other hand.

Agumu parried with his sword, and the two swords collided, sparks flying up with a "crack".

The two separated immediately upon contact, and Xiao Fang felt a sharp pain in his arm from the impact.

Agumu grinned maliciously.

"Xiao Fang, you're nothing special!"

He spurred his horse forward again, slashing several times with his curved blade, each strike aimed at Xiao Fang's head and chest.

Xiao Fang flicked his wrist, and the long sword moved like a nimble snake, weaving through the shadows of blades.

The two men went at it for seven or eight rounds on horseback.

Xiao Fang found an opening and slashed a gash in Agumu's side with his blade.

The skin and flesh rolled back, and blood gushed out.

Agumu, however, acted as if nothing had happened, and with a backhand slash, aimed his sword at Xiao Fang's left shoulder.

Xiao Fang was a beat too slow to dodge.

The blade sliced ​​through the armor, leaving a line of blood on the shoulder.

Blood splattered, mixing with the sand and dust, and hit his face.

He took two steps back, then charged forward again.

The two fought fiercely, from horseback to dismount, making it impossible for bystanders to get close.

The wound on Agumu's abdomen was completely torn open by his large, sweeping movements.

His intestines slid out of the wound, hanging outside his belt, swaying back and forth.

Agumu pushed hard with his left hand, shoving his intestines back in, and let out a low growl like a wild beast.

Those eyes were completely red, like two burning embers.

"I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

He gripped the knife and continued lunging at Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang had already been cut open on his calf, and blood was flowing down his boot.

He also had an old wound on his back, and his battle robe was stuck to his skin with blood.

Yet his steps remained remarkably steady.

Agumu's every strike was powerful and heavy, as if he wanted to cut him and his knife in two.

Xiao Fang didn't fight him head-on, but just circled around him.

As the knives clashed, blood dripped continuously from both men.

The ground where they fought was covered in blood.

Xiao Fang was hit on the shoulder again; Agumu's blade became embedded in his nail and he couldn't pull it out for a while.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Fang lunged forward, his long sword slashing up from below.

The blade flashed like a silver thread, swiftly slicing past Agumu's neck.

Agumu's roar stopped.

The enormous body was still standing in the same spot.

A moment later, its head tilted to the side and it rolled off the shoulder.

The headless body crashed heavily to the ground like half a collapsed wall.

Xiao Fang swayed slightly, using his knife to support himself on the ground as he gasped for breath.

He bent down, picked up Agumu's head, and held it high.

"Agumu is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

His voice was like a knife, cleaving through the entire long street.

The surviving Northern Hu soldiers went limp and knelt down one by one with thuds.

Knives and spears clattered to the ground.

"We surrender! We surrender!"

"Don't kill me! Your Highness, spare my life!"

The entire street was quiet.

Xiao Fang, holding the severed head, slowly turned around.

His face was covered in blood; it was impossible to tell whether it was Agumu's or his own.

He carried his knife and walked step by step toward the city gate.

Every step I took was wading through blood.

"Clatter".

"Clatter".

Like a death knell.

The Northern Hu soldiers who had already knelt down behind them didn't even dare to raise their heads.

He walked along unhurriedly, his whole body covered in blood, like a demon crawling out of a pile of corpses.

Ahead, the Second Prince was already paralyzed on the ground.

Before Xiao Fang even reached him, he began to crawl backward.

"No, don't come any closer..."

Xiao Fang did not stop.

Footsteps approached, one after another.

The tip of the knife dragged on the ground, making a series of extremely light and sharp sounds.

Like the fingernails of death, slowly scraping across the bluestone slab.

He didn't even glance at the surrendered soldiers again, but only spoke to Lu Zhaodao.

"Go. Bring that runaway second prince here to me."

Lu Zhao grinned.

"Okay."

After he finished speaking, he spurred his horse and led his men toward the city gate.

The rain of arrows had stopped beneath the city gate.

The second prince was dragged out of the pile of corpses.

He was covered in blood, and the arrows in his shoulder and calf were still stuck in his leg.

Xiao Fang, carrying a knife, slowly walked up to him.

The second prince was trembling uncontrollably.

He tried to back away, but his legs had no strength left.

"Spare...spare my life..."

Xiao Fang gently raised the tip of his knife and pointed it at him.

The second prince's legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Prince Xiao! General Xiao! Spare me! Don't kill me! I'll do anything you want!"

Xiao Fang looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a stray dog ​​with a broken spine.

"Lu Zhao, tie him up and take him back to the camp."
