Chapter 89

At long last, the great army of the Northern Di tribe had crossed over the Wushe Ridge.

According to the reports from the scouts, there was no response from the Northern Mansion troops stationed at the border. Li Wenjian looked at the military report in silence for a long time.

Could it be that in the end, Ziren had truly turned against him, willing to hand over the prosperous land to the Northern Di barbarians?

He urgently dispatched a message to Tongzhou, ordering them to swiftly lead the troops north to resist the enemy. However, based on the previous arrangements made when he went to Tongzhou, even if they rushed to the Luojia border with the fastest speed, it would still take nearly ten days.

Before that, Jingzhou would deploy twenty thousand troops to meet the enemy.

But within these ten days, there were too many variables. What exactly was happening at Ziren's end?

Was he reluctant to face the enemy, or was he truly colluding with the Northern Di tribe?

Two days after Li Wenjian issued his orders, he received another military report from the Northern Mansion - after the Northern Di army crossed the Wushe Ridge, they fell into an ambush set by the Northern Mansion troops.

It turned out that Li Yicheng led two thousand troops to set up an ambush light chariots in the valley below the Wushe Ridge. The Northern Di army had already received the information and assumed Li Yicheng would not resist, so they let their guard down.

When their troops entered the valley, the drums of war thundered in the mountains, and the ambush troops emerged from all directions, shouting loudly.

The Northern Di commander Ge Siqi was taken aback, quickly drawing his sword and loudly demanding, "Who goes there?"

A horseman rode like lightning, approaching in a flash and stopping in front of Ge Siqi. The man on the horse was clad in silver armor, gripping a golden blade in one hand and tightly holding the reins in the other. The warhorse neighed loudly, lifting its hooves and stirring up a mist of snow sand, stopping in front of Ge Siqi.

Ge Siqi, sitting on his horse, could clearly see the man's eyes. When they had met years ago, those eyes were as clear as a lake, even in anger, they seemed as threatening as a baby's. But now, he looked at him with cold indifference, a hidden killing intent in his eyes that even shook this seasoned general for a moment.

However, it was only a moment. Upon his arrival, Ge Siqi was more curious than anything.

"It's really you." Ge Siqi's eyes widened in disbelief. He should have been on his way to the capital by now.

Li Yicheng slowly lifted his sword. "Did that person tells you that I ordered a ceasefire, personally leading the troops back to the capital to save Fu Yu?"

"You're not going?" Ge Siqi stayed rooted in place.

That person had clearly told him how much Li Yicheng adored his wife, knowing that she had been taken away by Li Wenjian's men.

Why didn't he go back?

And from his tone, it seemed like he already knew that someone in the Northern Mansion was communicating with the Northern Di tribe?

"I'm already here, aren't I?" Li Yicheng clenched his fist, his knuckles and veins bulging. "Where is Fu Yu?"

Ge Siqi sneered, "How could I have avoided your eyes to enter Dongli and capture her? She wasn't taken by me."

Li Yicheng had not slept for three days, his eyes red from exhaustion. He had been struggling for two days, debating with himself for two days.

The vanguard brought back Li Wenjian's jade pendant, claiming that he had ordered the abduction of Fu Yu. But in the face of such a dire situation, why would he provoke himself?
