  At this time, what's there to be proud of in such a small matter? Zhang Qinan turned her head back and took a glance at Zheng Yu. On Zheng Yu's gaunt face, and the unhidden gloom between his eyebrows, she suddenly discovered that after not seeing him for several months, Zheng Yu had become even more intimidating. The gentle beauty, elegance, calmness, and composure that originally appeared on her face and in her movements had all disappeared.

  They've already broken up, but she still hasn't let go? Zhang Qi's heart secretly trembled, she withdrew her gaze, didn't even glance at Zheng Yu, and continued to move forward.

  Zheng Yu saw Zhang Qi ignoring her, and her face turned green with rage. Seeing that the eunuch didn't give her or the Empress any face, she was even more furious. Turning her head, under the gaze of the wealthy families, Zheng Yu felt like everyone was mocking her. Suddenly, she let out a sharp cry, "Fine! I'll see how you all explain yourselves to Her Majesty the Empress!" With that, she flung her sleeve and stormed off in a huff.

  Although Zheng You's words were threatening, neither the officers nor the soldiers around him took it to heart. At this time of war and crisis, there is a saying that "the general in the field may disobey the ruler's orders", so they wouldn't care about the empress dowager or the queen mother.

  Following Zhang Qi, Cheng Shi and others turned their heads to glance at Zheng Yu, who was leaving in a huff, and shook their heads, thinking to themselves: Zheng is indeed much inferior to Wang Fei.

  Zhang Qi walked up onto the city wall.

  Luoyang's thousand-year-old ancient city, after generations of maintenance and renovation, its grandeur is not inferior to that of Jin and Chang'an. Under the city wall, three horse-drawn carriages can drive side by side.

  Zhang Gui and the guards walked up to the city wall, which was over 30 feet high, and looked out at the distance. The Luo River flowed on one side, while about 10 miles away from the city wall were dense rows of Zhou army tents. It seemed that overnight, these Zhou soldiers had braved the cold to arrive under the walls of Luoyang!

  The Zhou people were strict in discipline, and these tents were set up in an orderly manner. The coming and going soldiers were also extremely fine.

  Standing here, just looking at it makes one feel timid and fearful.

  Zhang Qi is also a woman after all, and at the end of the day, she only has so much courage.

  Seeing her face turn pale, Wang He let out a sigh: The formation set up by the Zhou people is chilling even to their own generals, let alone a woman? If they didn't know that the consequences of the city being breached would be unbearable, many people might have wanted to abandon the city and escape.

  Wang He pointed ahead with a bitter smile and said: "Zhou's troops are still reorganizing, it is unknown when they will launch the general attack."

  Launch a general attack? A thought flashed through Zhang Qi's mind, but when she tried to grasp it, it was nowhere to be found.

  Wang He looked at Cheng Shi and others. "If the King of Lanling can delay for a few days, we will also be able to rest easy." Cheng Shi lowered his head and replied, "This is indeed man's plan not being as good as heaven's plan."

  "It's true, man proposes but God disposes."

  He accompanied them for a while before bowing his hands and saying: "Slow down, Princess." Then he took big strides to leave.

  Watching Wang He leave, Cheng Shi became even more worried. There were several thousand usable troops in the city, but several thousand against one hundred thousand was not a great advantage. If it weren't for Luoyang's strong walls, they would be in an even more desperate situation.

  This gentleman's spirit is so low, what can be done about it?

  "Let's go," said Zhang Qi.

  "Yes."

  A group of people came down from the city wall.

  Outside the city wall, those rich families and noblewomen were still there, including a few noble ladies who followed Zheng Yu, and two of them stayed there. Seeing Zhang Gui coming over, they surrounded her and asked, "Lanling Wangfei, how is it?" At this moment, Zhang Gui's temptation as an absolute beauty was heard by the 56th book library, he leaned forward, staring at Zhang Gui and asked, "What does Lanling Wangfei think?"

  Zhang Gui said seriously: "I think we should be prepared for them to build earth mounds and dig tunnels!"

  Luoyang Wang smiled and shook his head, "Princess of Lanling, you are overthinking. Whether it's building an earth mountain or digging a tunnel, both are a waste of effort. Our reinforcements will arrive soon, how dare they waste time like this?"

  His voice had just fallen when a hurried footstep was heard outside, and immediately a soldier shouted from the outside: "Report to the Duke of Guang, the Zhou soldiers are piling up earth bags outside the city, seemingly wanting to build an earth mountain to attack Luoyang."

  What?

  Luoyang Wang stood up.

  He glared at Zhang Qi with wide eyes and hastily ordered: "Go investigate again!"

  "Yes."

  As soon as the soldier left, King Luoyang turned to Zhang Gui and bowed to him. He said solemnly, "Princess of Lanling, shall we go to the city wall for a look? How is it?" He was much more polite this time.

  Zhang Gui followed closely behind him, walking towards the city wall.
