Chapter 291 The Jingyang City Is Taken (Part One)
The old man in the pavilion seemed to be stunned. He stood there stupefied, and his head were struck
with shock. What did Luo Qingyan''s hidden guard say just now? It was said that the crown prince and
the military counsellor were takingrge troops of 10000 soldiers, heading for the Jingyang city?
Shouldn''t the crown prince and the military counsellor attack Kangyang city right now? That was what
the letter said to himst night. Four hundred thousand soldiers were almost everything of the crown
prince''s army. Did theye to attack the Jingyang city without attacking the Kangyang city?
All kinds of questions shed through Lord Hua Guo''s mind. He had noticed the anger and
disappointment in Luo Qingyan''s eyes. He thought of those questions. Lord Hua Guo watched as
Prince Jing''s figure went further and further away. He did not regain hisposure until Prince Jing
arrived at the foot of the mountain. Oh no! His crown prince must have known the true identity of Luo
Qingyan, and he knew that Luo Qingyan was in the Jingyang City, so he dared to take such a big risk.
Thinking of this, Lord Hua Guo stepped out of the pavilion, and stumbled to lead his horse. He mounted
the horse. Even though he was worried, he sat straight on the horse, drew a whip, and galloped down
the mountain.
On the way back to his camp, the hidden guard had already told Prince Jing what had happened in the
KY city. Prince Jing was calcting the time in his heart. ording to the time when the secret guard
had reported, he was afraid that Xia Houyan and Liu Yinfeng''s army could arrive outside the Jingyang
city within two hours.
"Her highness is rushing here with about one hundred thousand people. The soldiers guarding
Kangyang city will be divided into several groups of backup while tens of thousands of people are
guarding the camp." Before Prince Jing asked, the shadow guard added.
Prince Jing nodded. His heart was filled with bitterness. Xia Houyan and Liu Yinfeng would rather
sacrifice the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers to use such a camouge. There must be a huge
change. Moreover, the Jingyang city was far worse than the Kangyang city in the strategic position.
Even if they took down the Jingyang city, it might not have any benefits to the state of Xia. In this case,
he was afraid that the army of the state of Xia came here for his life.
It seemed that he could no longer hide his true identity.
Although Prince Jing was shocked by the sudden news, he kept hisposure and entered the camp
outside Jingyang city. He threw the reins to the guards and hurried into the camp.
Zhang Qi and the generals in the camp knew about the incident and were discussing something in front
of the wooden board. Prince Jing heard someone say, "there are only two hundred thousand people in
our camp. The four hundred thousand brought by the crown prince of the state of Xia and the original
two hundred and fifty thousand people added to our four hundred and fifty thousand. It''s more than four
hundred and fifty thousand. Even if we had the power to fight, we are in danger now."
Zhang Qi was the first one to notice Prince Jing entering the camp. he quickly stood straight and looked
at him, "Your Highness is here."
Prince Jing nodded and stepped forward. Then the crowd stepped back and let Prince Jing walk to the
middle of the room. Prince Jing had long been familiar with the situation around the Jingyang city. Even
without looking at the sand te, he actually knew what happened here.
"the army of the state of Xia came down along the Jing River, and the marching route is on the south
side of the Jing river. We are now guarding the south side of the Jing river." Prince Jing pointed at the
other side of the Jing river.
"So we are going to leave the Jingyang City, aren''t we? What about the people in the city? And, the
Jing river has been dried up long ago, which means nothing to the enemy. " A gray haired general
frowned and said in a low voice.
Prince Jing narrowed his eyes, but felt a little relieved. "Now, there is already water in the Jing river.
Zhang Qi sent for a visit. Last night,dy jing ordered people to blow up argeke above the Jing
River, and more than one hundred thousand people were buried in the river. Although we didn''t know
how long the water could hold, we had to use the Jing River as the barrier to resist for a while, and then
made other ns. We must abandon the Jingyang City, as we only have 200000 people. If the enemy
attacks the city, I''m afraid we can''t take it for too long, and all the people have to move to the northern
part of the Jing river. After all people cross the river, the bridges and all the wooden pieces in the city
which can be used to make boats will all be destroyed. "
He thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No. we have to fire the city. Don''t leave anything in
the city to the army of the state of Xia."

Hearing this, everyone was pale on their faces. They had been in the Jingyang city for many years, and
had a certain feeling for it. It was so big that it was not easy to burn it.
"Your Highness..." Someone wanted to say something more, but Zhang Qi interrupted, "it''s the only
way out now. We should listen to his highness and keep the people in the city alive. The key is to
arrange it as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the other generals were silent for a moment. After all, they knew that Prince Jing''s way
was the only way that they could think of, so they left the camp slowly.
Prince Jing didn''t dare to dy. When he had known his identity, he had thought about how to deal with
the situation when it was exposed, but he had never expected that it was in such a situation. After
thinking for a while, he took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a letter quickly. He called his
shadow guard. "Send this letter to the Imperial City as soon as possible."
Although the imperial city was a little far from the border, Emperor Ning was unlikely to hear the news
soon. But he didn''t dare to make a bet, or the world would be in chaos.
The hidden guard sent the letter away, and Prince Jing walked out of the camp and entered the
Jingyang city. There were cries and wars in the Jingyang city. Prince Jing stood at the gate and looked
at the people running around, feeling a touch of sadness. He had been on the battlefield for so many
years and was used to life and death. He had thought he was as tough as iron, but now seeing so
many people leave their home and go away from their home, he was finally touched. Lost and
homeless because of him alone, it was difficult to ignore.
"Your Highness, all soldiers in the army outside the city have entered the city, and are leading people to
the other side of the river. The Jing river is really rising..." "Xia Houyan and Liu Yinfeng and their army
will arrive at the outer area of the city in about two hours," answered Zhang Qi.
Prince Jing nodded, "ask them to leave. Hurry up." Then he looked up at the sky which was getting
dark and smiled, "I''m going to show an empty city for the army of the state of Xia today."
