This day in Liu Yun Kingdom, it was still as calm as usual.
Everyone was busy with the matter at hand, and no one noticed the ing storm…
However, at that moment, a guard fell in from outside the city gate with a sword in his chest, blood spurting out of his mouth, his face as pale as paper.
The pedestrians on the road all stopped and looked up in dismay, and then they saw the sky ahead of them dark and oppressive, as if there were a large troop approaching, with a domineering aura.
“Go… Inform the general…”
The guard’s mouth was bubbling with blood, and his words came out somewhat choked. “Go and inform General that there is an enemy… ing…”
After he said that, he lost his breath and lay dead on the ground.
Screams and pleas for help resounded in this street, and the whole street turned into a mess.

In the Imperial Palace’s courtyard.
No matter how much he plained about Feng Tianwu nowadays or even scolded him behind his back, he had already gotten used to reviewing these documents, and he did not have the pressure he once had.
Suddenly, a panicked voice was heard, and he immediately saw a guard crawling in, his voice filled with panic.
“Lord General, there is an enemy troop ing here.”
‘Enemy troop?’
Nalan Zhangqian frowned, his face slightly sunken.
“There are still enemy troops who dare to e to our Liu Yun Kingdom now? What forces are those enemy troops from?”
“I’m… Not sure…” The guard’s voice was trembling. “Those enemy troops are too powerful. We are not sure where they are from.”
Among those people, every one of them was powerful.
Even the aura of each one of them was even more terrifying than the general.
When did this Cang Yue Mainland have so many powerful people without being known?
Nalan Zhangqian stood up, he paced back and forth anxiously, and only after half a second did he stop.
“Go to the chief manor immediately, take the old general and Yi’er to hide first. I’ll handle the rest.”
The people who still dared to e and invade Liu Yun Kingdom must be quite strong at this level.
His father was old, so he could not let him be in any more danger!
This was what he should do as a son.
Likewise, as a vassal, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he must step forward and guard the land behind him.
“Others follow me to the city gate. No matter who is ing, we are not allowed to retreat in this battle!”
For one step back would bring the people to their doom!

At General Manor.
The old general was putting his armor on. He picked up the long sword and was just about to walk out when a guard came in a hurry, jumped in front of the old general, and knelt. “Old General, you can’t go. General manded me to take you and your wife to a safe place to hide.”
“Ridiculous!”
The old general kicked him and growled, “I may be physically old, but my spirit is not old. I will fight as long as I’m still alive! The Nalan family doesn’t have a greedy generation who is afraid of death.”
The only thing that made him happy was that Dai’er and Jing’er were not in the Nalan family.
So, he could rest easy…
“But it is the General’s order. General…”
“Shut up!” The old man put the long sword in his hand on the guard’s neck. “What I need to hear is not to let me be a deserter! What I want to hear is that all the people are united. We will fight together till death!”
