When the sun set, Shen Xu walked out of the earth wall with a team of 50 people.

Not far away, the Chen Nation’s army was watching covetously.

There was an empty space between them.

In the open space, more than twenty Eastern Expedition prisoners were still kneeling.

They sensed footsteps approaching and raised their heads with difficulty. When they saw that it was Shen Xu, their eyes widened.

Someone said hoarsely, “Prince, leave quickly.”

These words touched Shen Xu.

He looked at the injured soldiers in front of him. They were clearly about to die, but they still wanted him to leave quickly.

Previously, he was willing to take the risk to not disappoint Tang Guixi, but now, he hoped to bring these soldiers back.

Shen Xu took out a small knife from his sleeve and helped them cut the ropes.

“Get up and come home with me.”

Hearing the word home, their eyes turned red.

After so much inhumane torture, going home had become an unattainable wish in their hearts.

And now, their wishes were about to come true.

The Chen soldiers raised their shields and quickly approached.

They surrounded Shen Xu and the captives.

Shen Xu immediately stood up and questioned, “Didn’t you promise to exchange prisoners with us? I’ve already brought your people here. You should let me bring our people back!”

A moment later, a chariot slowly approached.

A scholarly-looking aide stood in the chariot. He asked haltingly in the Dayan official language. “Where are our people?”

Shen Xu kept walking behind him. “They’re all here!”

The advisor gave him a look and immediately, a Chen Nation soldier walked forward to check.

He first pushed aside the hair of the three captives standing at the front and identified them carefully. They looked a little familiar. Then, he interrogated the other party in the Chen Nation language.

The three of them answered each other fluently and he couldn’t find anything wrong with them.

They also wanted to examine the other prisoners.

Shen Xu urged impatiently.

“Can we hurry? We’re in a hurry to get back!”

The advisor was originally looking at the captives. When he heard this, he looked at Shen Xu and asked unhurriedly.

“Our marshal specifically asked Prince Min to do the deal. Why don’t I see him?”

Shen Xu replied loudly, “I’m Prince Min’s only son and his future heir. Today,

I’m here to make a deal with you on behalf of Father.”

The advisor said, “The heir is really filial, but unfortunately, our marshal wants to see Prince Min. If you don’t fulfill the agreement as requested, we naturally can’t make a deal with you.”

With that, he gestured.

Immediately, a Chen Nation soldier walked forward and prepared to grab Shen xu.

Shen Xu blocked the knife in front of him in a defensive posture and asked fiercely.

“What are you guys doing?”

The advisor smiled and said, “Since the heir is already here, we can’t come for nothing. Marshal Chen wants to treat you to a glass of wine. Please give him the courtesy.”

Shen Xu naturally knew that the other party must have ill intentions.

He spat angrily, “How can you lowly bandits be worthy of drinking with me?!”

The smile on the aide’s face disappeared, and his expression darkened. “Prince, listen to my advice. It seems like you want to do this the hard way.” Shen Xu said sternly, “If you know what’s good for you, let us go immediately!” The aide looked at him coldly.

“To tell you the truth, it’s not just you today. All the captives you brought have to stay. After that, we’ll kill all the prisoners of the Eastern Expedition Army.

We’ll leave none alive!”

The last four words were spoken slowly by him, revealing deep malice.

Shen Xu laughed in anger. “So you never planned to fulfill the agreement from the beginning. As expected of jackals, tigers, and leopards from the Chen Nation. You’re all a group of shameless beasts who don’t know etiquette!” Without another word, the aide gave the order to act.

When the Chen Nation soldiers pounced at Shen Xu, the archers hiding behind the earth wall let go of their bowstrings. Countless arrows shot at the Chen Nation soldiers.

The Chen Nation soldiers hurriedly raised their shields in front of them.

Xiao Juan, who was disguised as a Chen soldier captive, and the other forty or so Eagle Guards seized the opportunity to pull out the saber hidden under their clothes.

Among them, Xiao Juan used his Qinggong and jumped up. He stepped on the shoulder of the person in front of him and flew forward. He pointed the No Return Saber in his hand at the aide’s vital point!

The aide was shocked and hurriedly dodged back. He shouted, “Save me!”

However, before the Chen Nation soldiers around him could react, he had already been pierced through the chest by Xiao Juan.

The scene fell into chaos.

The Eagle Guards took advantage of the chaos to carry the captives of the

Eastern Expedition Army and quickly retreat in the direction of the earth wall. On the sentry tower, Tang Guixi ordered loudly when she saw this scene.

“Archers cover them!”

The archers behind the earth wall drew their bows and nocked arrows again. They kept shooting, forcing back the Chen Nation soldiers who wanted to catch up.

Shen Xu retreated with the Eagle Guards.

But before he could run far, he heard a rumbling behind him.

They turned around in unison and saw that the Chen Nation Army had actually brought out the catapult.

The Chen Nation soldiers stepped on the pedal hard, and the basin-sized stones were thrown high. They drew a parabola in the air and headed straight for Xiao Juan and the others.

Shen Xu’s pupils clearly reflected the stone.

They closed in quickly.

When Tang Guixi saw this scene from the sentry tower, her eyes widened and she roared, “Shen Xu, run!”

However, Shen Xu stood rooted to the ground as if he had been frozen.

At the critical moment, Xiao Juan appeared in time and pushed Shen Xu away.

The rock flew between the two of them and landed heavily on the ground, creating a small pit.

Before they could heave a sigh of relief, another stone had already flown in front of Xiao Juan.

At this moment, he was too late to dodge.

Yu Niaoniao suddenly opened her eyes and woke up from a nightmare.

Granny Xiu Yan, who was sitting by the bed doing needlework, immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and asked with concern.

“Why do you look so pale? Did you have a nightmare?”

Yu Niaoniao panted softly. “I dreamed that Ah Juan was in danger on the battlefield. Granny, will something happen to him?”

Granny Xiu Yan comforted her gently. “Don’t worry. Ah Juan is a person with great fortune. God helps good people. He’ll be fine.”

Yu Niaoniao was still very uneasy.

She did not know if her mood had affected the fetus in her stomach, but she suddenly felt pain in her abdomen. She clutched her stomach and frowned.

“My belly hurts. ”

Granny Xiu Yan was shocked. “Don’t tell me she’s giving birth? Logically speaking, she should have to wait another two days.”

To be safe, she still got someone to invite the midwife over.

The midwife arrived quickly. She lifted Yu Niaoniao’s skirt for a closer look and gave an affirmative answer.

“The amniotic sac has broken. She’s indeed giving birth.”

Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly got someone to bring over all the things needed for delivery and then called Ling Hai over.

“Go out of the city immediately and think of a way to find Xiao Juan. Tell him that Niaoniao is about to give birth.”

‘Yes!”
