192: 132 First Achievent 2 192: 132 First Achievent 2 The Pan Family, in a fit of rage, wanted to kill Shi Xiangyang but were desperately blocked by Miss Pan.
Afterward, Miss Pan took Shi Xiangyang and fled the estate.
They reached the wilderness where, prematurely, she gave birth to a son but died from excessive blood loss afterward.
Luo Peiyun glanced at Shi Zaixing, “That bastard is the wild child born to Miss Pan.”
Fang Zhixing and the others suddenly realized.
“Over the years, the Pan Family has been closely monitoring Shi Xiangyang and his son, especially after they discovered Shi Zaixing’s Innate Divine Strength and exceptional martial arts talent, they wanted to bring Shi Zaixing back to the Pan Family.
But Shi Xiangyang had long harbored resentnt against the Pan Family and had secretly joined the Martial Alliance, gradually becoming one of the core mbers of the Rebel Army.”
Luo Peiyun said with a smile, “This ti, the reason we could easily conquer Ancient Moon Village was actually because the Pan Family provided the information.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Kezhao was invigorated, “Dad, with Shi Zaixing as a hostage, Shi Xiangyang will definitely be cautious.”
Luo Peiyun nodded and responded, “If Shi Xiangyang is wise, we might be able to take back Qingguang County without shedding a drop of blood.”
Lu Anfu, hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly and said seriously, “Sir, there is another force, ‘Wandering Dragon Den’ within Qingguang County.
They have betrayed the Luo Family and should be aware of their impending fate; they will likely resist to the death, and certainly won’t surrender easily.”
Luo Peiyun made a sound of agreent, then said coldly, “Those ungrateful wretches from Wandering Dragon Den must be completely eradicated; even if they surrender, they die.”
Lu Anfu continued, “I have heard that Qingguang County is easy to defend but hard to attack.
If Wandering Dragon Den refuses to co out and defend to the death, with our current military strength, it might be very difficult to conquer.”
Luo Peiyun smiled unconcernedly, “You don’t need to worry about that.”
He did not elaborate.
But everyone could feel the imnse confidence that victory was just within reach.
The main force moved out of the forest and soon entered a road.
The road suddenly beca easier to travel.
Fang Zhixing rode on horseback, having traveled all day.
By evening, they finally arrived below the city of Qingguang County.
Fang Zhixing looked up and noticed that the county was surrounded by water on all sides, like an isolated island.
The moat was wide and deep, and entry to the city required passing through a drawbridge.
But the drawbridge was already raised high.
Outside the city, an army had already arrived earlier and surrounded the entire county.
“Dad, whose army is that?” Luo Kezhao asked in surprise.
Luo Peiyun raised an eyebrow, “Oh,” he replied, “It’s from Qing’an County, they’ve arrived quite fast.”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than two people strode towards them.
One of them wore a County Magistrate’s robe, was tall, and appeared to be about the sa age as Luo Peiyun.
The other was a young woman with a robust figure and pleasant appearance, quite attractive, though not stunningly so.
“Brother Yun!”
The newcor laughed and bowed his hands respectfully.
Luo Peiyun smiled, “Zhaodong, we haven’t seen each other for two years, have we?”
“Exactly, brother!
We are separated by distance and seldom et even once a year,”
the other said with a laugh.
This man was Luo Zhaodong, the County Magistrate of Qing’an County.
He and Luo Peiyun were not from the sa branch.
But their relationship seed quite good.
Then, the young woman beside Luo Zhaodong stepped forward, and with a gesture of respect, she said, “Yunjin greets uncle.”
Luo Peiyun smiled, “Jin’er you’ve co too, good, good.
It’s better to gain experience out here than to bitterly train at ho for three years.”
Luo Yunjin replied, “Uncle speaks the truth, Jin’er had the sa idea.”
Luo Peiyun nodded and asked, “Since you’ve arrived so early, I assu another stronghold of the Martial Alliance has already been taken down by you?”
“Don’t ntion it,”
Luo Zhaodong waved his hand, looking annoyed, “I don’t know which son of a turtle leaked the information, but by the ti we reached that stronghold, those rebels had already fled, leaving the place empty.
It was a wasted trip.”
Luo Peiyun’s expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, “So the information was leaked?
There must be a spy among you.”
Luo Zhaodong agreed deeply, saying, “Spies are endless; I don’t know which one it is.”
Luo Peiyun sneered and pulled out the scroll from his chest, whispering, “Take a look, and fetch the spy as soon as possible.”
Luo Zhaodong just glanced at the nas on the scroll and was deeply moved, his breath even halted.
“Brother Yun, it is indeed you, to be able to get your hands on this!” Luo Zhaodong admired with awe.
“It was just luck,” Luo Peiyun said with a smile.
Then Luo Peiyun suddenly changed the subject, asking, “How are things in the city?”
Luo Zhaodong imdiately replied, “Shi Xiangyang is refusing to fight, it seems he plans to drag this out with us.”
Luo Peiyun was not surprised at all and laughed, “We will counterattack; the Rebel Army must have anticipated this.
Shi Xiangyang’s inactivity here is just to buy ti.”
Luo Zhaodong raised an eyebrow, “Could it be, he’s waiting for Greedy Wolf to co to his rescue?”
Luo Peiyun shook his head, “Greedy Wolf is in Qingfeng County, and judging by the timing, that fellow has already been besieged, but if Greedy Wolf manages to break out, he might indeed take the opportunity to steal our ho.”
Luo Zhaodong’s breath hitched, and he couldn’t help but grit his teeth, saying coldly, “That traitor, his death would not be regretted!”
Luo Peiyun said with his hands behind his back, “Let’s not worry about Greedy Wolf, I have a way to conquer Qingguang County.”
“Really?!”
Luo Zhaodong’s expression changed, excitedly saying, “That would be great, Brother Yun, I’ll follow your plan completely.”
Luo Peiyun turned around, scanned Luo Kezhao, Fang Zhixing, and others, and instructed, “Prepare for the siege first.
Ding Zhigang, you take Shi Zaixing and call out at their gate.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Ding Zhigang’s expression turned solemn, and he swiftly dismounted, grabbed Shi Zaixing, and brought him to the opposite side of the moat, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
Then, Ding Zhigang, with a full voice, shouted, “Brothers guarding the city, listen up, go tell Shi Xiangyang, his son is in our hands.”
He repeated this sentence three tis before stopping.
There was imdiately so commotion above the city gate.
A mont later, a middle-aged man dressed in white appeared on the gate tower.
This person was dignified and splendid, it was Shi Xiangyang.
As he gazed across the moat, his pupils involuntarily tightened sharply.
“Dad!”
Shi Zaixing suddenly shouted, “Ancient Moon Village has been destroyed, master is dead, everyone is dead.”
Shi Xiangyang’s expression imdiately beca solemn, and he clenched his fist, smashing it fiercely against the city wall.
Shi Zaixing then yelled, “Dad, my death is insignificant, you must never surrender!”
“Shut up!” Ding Zhigang took off his shoe and rudely stuffed it into Shi Zaixing’s mouth.
Shi Zaixing glared furiously, his gaze bristling with animosity.
Slap—
Ding Zhigang gave him a heavy slap.
Shi Zaixing turned his head to the side, then swiveled again, glaring and staring down Ding Zhigang, fixing him with a firm gaze.
“Damn it!”
Ding Zhigang felt a surge of disgust, realizing that being harsh with these rebels, who were more insane one than the other, had little effect.
Therefore, Ding Zhigang shouted towards the gate tower, “Shi Xiangyang, if you open the city gate and surrender to our lord, both you and your son can be spared death.”
Shi Xiangyang was speechless, his facial expression changing unpredictably.
Ding Zhigang continued to persuade, “Shi Xiangyang, we understand your situation completely.
As long as you surrender, our lord will not only absolve you of all your cris but will also send you back to the Pan Family, letting Shi Zaixing reunite with his maternal grandparents.”
Ding Zhigang shouted louder, “Shi Xiangyang, if you won’t consider for yourself, think of your son.
He is still so young, his talent in Martial Arts is so remarkable, do you really want to let him die in vain?”
Shi Xiangyang hesitated, gradually lowering his head, his face full of agony.
Suddenly, soone approached him from behind, urgently saying, “Shi Xiangyang, if you surrender, everyone in Youlong Bay will undoubtedly perish.”
Shi Xiangyang trembled all over, his complexion turning instantly pale.
Elsewhere, Ding Zhigang shouted again, “Brothers of Youlong Bay, rest assured, our lord has said that if you surrender, all cris will be completely pardoned.”
