Chapter 898: Seizing the City Gate

Peng Chuan glanced at the tent behind him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Peng Chuan understood Chen Yufei's idea. He just wanted to use him to attack Wu Fan and Pei Yu, so that they would be convicted of defeat. In that case, Chen Yufei could come to power again and regain the power in Shanling Pass.

However, Chen Yufei didn't know that his purpose of coming here this time was not just to break through Shanling Pass and rob some property. His goal this time was very big. He wanted not only Shanling Pass, but also the entire Nanping Kingdom!

As long as he broke through Shanling Pass, he would be sure to take over the entire Nanping Kingdom. Chen Yufei's idea of ​​taking some property and leaving was too naive.

"But it's good this way. It was because of his naive idea that he thought of cooperating with me. Otherwise, where would I get such a good opportunity to break through Shanling Pass?" Peng Chuan thought to himself.

Peng Chuan would not tell Chen Yufei what he really thought. He believed that when he led his troops to the capital of Nanping, Chen Yufei would be completely dumbfounded.

"General, the troops have assembled." One of Peng Chuan's subordinates came to report.

Peng Chuan put his thoughts back, took a look at the army that was fully armed and ready to go at any time, and ordered: "The whole army will go to Shanling Pass. On the way, no one is allowed to make a sound, no torches are allowed, all the horses' mouths are blocked, and cloth is wrapped on the horses' hooves. No noise is allowed. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The officers in front of Peng Chuan responded.

"Okay, let's go!"

In the quiet night, the camp of the Black Water Kingdom was like a waking beast, it raised its fangs and headed towards Shanling Pass not far away.

At this time, Shanling Pass was also unusually quiet. Most of the soldiers had already rested. They needed to get enough rest to prepare for tomorrow's battle. Of course, there were soldiers standing guard on the top of the city. Since Wu Fan's accident, there would be soldiers patrolling in the city at night. Their mission was to prevent possible spies from the Black Water Kingdom from causing trouble in the city.

At the city gate, a team of well-equipped soldiers was guarding there. They were Pei Yu's direct troops. Not only were they well-equipped, but they were also experienced in combat and had high combat effectiveness. Pei Yu knew how important the city gate was after many years in Shanling Pass, so he attached great importance to it.

"Who is it?!" Pang Huan, who was on duty, suddenly shouted, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Pang Huan, a direct descendant of Pei Yu, has followed Pei Yu for many years. After Pei Yu was appointed as the commander of Shanling Pass by Wu Fan, Pang Huan was promoted to the position of lieutenant in the army. After the army of Heishui State began to besiege Shanling Pass, Pang Huan was entrusted by Pei Yu with the important task of guarding the city gate.

Swish!

The soldiers next to Pang Huan showed their weapons at the same time and shouted in the direction of Pang Huan. Every soldier had a serious face and was full of murderous intent. They were all experienced soldiers who had followed Pang Huan and Pei Yu for many years. They were definitely direct descendants.

"Don't get me wrong, we are our own people." A voice came from not far away, and there was a mess of footsteps.

Then, a group of soldiers who were also fully armed appeared in the field of vision of Pang Huan and others. These people came towards the city gate.

"Stop!" Before those people arrived at the city gate, Pang Huan had raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to approach here!"

"General Pang misunderstood, we are here to change guards." The big man in the lead said with a smile on his face.

"Change of guard? Why didn't I receive the notice?" Pang Huan asked.

"I came here with General Pei's order." The visitor said. In such a short time, they had already arrived at the city gate and approached Pang Huan and others: "General Pei said that you have been guarding the city gate here for the past few days and you are very tired. Let us come and replace them to rest. You can come and replace us tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Can I pass on a false order? That's a big crime." The visitor said.

At this time, the two sides have come together and faced each other.

"General Pang, thank you for your hard work. From now on, leave this place to us. You can rest assured and go down to rest. With us here, there will be no accidents here." The visitor said with a smile.

However, Pang Huan did not show much friendly expression on his face. Instead, he was still alert. He stretched out his hand to the other party again and said, "Give it."

"What?"

"Master Pei's token." Pang Huan said.

"No token." The man shook his head and said, "General Pei just asked us to change guards, there is no token."

"No token?" Pang Huan's expression became more alert: "Then please leave, we don't need you here."

"But it was General Pei who asked us to come, General Pang, you don't want to disobey orders." The smile on the man's face disappeared, replaced by a warning.

"Lord Pei said before that we are not allowed to leave here without seeing his token." Pang Huan said, "If you want to change guards, you must take out Lord Pei's token."

"But General Pei didn't give us a token, how can we take it out?"

"That's your business, you can go to Lord Pei to ask for it, or you can take people away now." Pang Huan said coldly.

"This..." The man obviously didn't expect Pang Huan to be so stubborn and unwilling to leave.

"Without a token, you can't stay here, please leave immediately." Pang Huan issued an expulsion order.

"Pang Huan! If you do this, aren't you afraid that General Pei will punish you?"

"I was following Lord Pei's orders, so what's the crime?" Pang Huan said: "It's you, but now I think you are very suspicious. If you don't leave here, don't blame us for being rude."

Judging from Pang Huan's tone, he was obviously not joking. He was clearly warning these people and would take action at any time.

The man who had just spoken to Pang Huan frowned. He didn't expect Pang Huan to be so stubborn. He slightly raised his head and glanced at the sky, feeling secretly worried.

The appointed time was coming soon. If he couldn't open the city gate before the appointed time, it would be bad. Not only would Chen Yufei be in danger, but they would also completely lose the chance to stand up.

Thinking of this, a ruthless look flashed in the man's eyes, but a smile appeared on his face again. He slowly walked towards Pang Huan and said: "General Pang, please don't be angry. I was negligent in this matter. I will go back to find Pei right away." Your Majesty asks for a token.”

However, just when the man arrived in front of Pang Huan, he suddenly thrust out his right hand, and the sword in his hand flashed with cold light and stabbed Pang Huan in front of him.
