The prince of the Liao Kingdom, Yelü Shenxuan.

This sentence seemed to have touched upon some terrible taboo. In an instant, one after another fire torches and braziers were lit on the southern city gate of Yueya Pass. In the blink of an eye, a fire dragon rose from left to right before Yelu Shenxuan, stretching endlessly as far as the eye could see.

Then came the roar of shouts from atop the city walls.

Ye Lishu Shenxuan's guards immediately became tense.

After all, they were only a few hundred meters away from the Moonlit Gate at this point. If the gate was open right now, not even a thousand men would be needed. A mere few hundred elite cavalry could chase them down and leave them fleeing in terror.

"Prince, it's time to leave."

A guard reminded him.

Yelü Shenxuan shook his head and said, "Don't rush, let's see."

"Let me take a good look, this Yuya Pass has been blocking my Liao nation's iron cavalry for decades. Just how capable is it"

The guardsman said anxiously, "But what if the Qin army leaves the city The risk to us would be too great."

They dare not leave the city easily.

"After all these years of dealing with the Qin people, haven't you learned that they are accustomed to hiding behind their city walls and never daring to launch a proactive attack" said Yelu Shenxuan confidently.

"Moreover, it is late at night and the dew is heavy. The surroundings are dark and deserted. Our Liao army has suddenly retreated. It's them who should be anxious and uneasy, as they don't know our intentions. At this critical juncture, they hear that the Prince of Liao has arrived. Shouldn't they be suspicious and hesitant What if this is a ruse to deceive them into opening their gates Then what"

Yelü Shenxuan let out a light chuckle, his eyes filled with disdain. He said in a languid tone, “Qin State has been weak for so many years, its inherent courage and ambition have long been worn away. The general guarding the southern city gate at this moment will certainly not easily open the city gates to send troops. They would rather watch us leave than risk opening the gates to pursue us.”

After all, we're gone, he's just missed an opportunity. But if the city gate is tricked open, his whole family will be beheaded.

Yelü Shenxuan's words proved prophetic.

Although there was a throng of people at the south city gate, the gate remained firmly shut.

On the city gate tower, the current commander of the South Gate was named Hu Tai. He was a professional soldier born and raised in Yueya Pass. His family had served in the military for two generations, and finally, it was his turn to reach the rank of lieutenant colonel.

At this moment, he furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on the darkness ahead. Vaguely, one could see figures standing there, but exactly how many there were and what their identities were remained unclear.

"General Hu, what should we do" asked a subordinate.

Hu Tai frowned, finding the situation extremely difficult.

If he had heard what Yelü Shenxuan said at this time, I'm afraid he would have admired his own thoughts and realized that they had been completely anticipated by Yelü Shenxuan, not a single point off.

Even though he knew that if it really was Yelu Shenxuan himself across the way, he wouldn't dare to easily open the city gates.

After all, Yelü Shenxuan suddenly left the main force and ran to Yueya Pass. This act itself was inconceivable. If something went wrong and he fell into the Liao army's trap, he would surely be doomed.

Not only him, but the whole Yueya Pass is going to suffer a catastrophic disaster.

He wouldn't have the guts to make that decision.

"That man who claimed to be a scout from our army, has he been verified" Hu Tai asked.

The subordinate shook his head, glanced at the position where the scout's body lay, and said, "It's too far away to see clearly, but judging by his attire, he is indeed a soldier from our Yueya Pass."th immense weight, plummeted from the city wall.Under the city wall, there were enemy soldiers packed together like sardines. At such a density, there was no need to aim; simply throwing anything dow...
