Chapter 170: Wait

Qiao Meng is running away and his flight through the city streets is a harrowing experience. 

Looking out from the curtains of his horse carriage, he could see blood flowed freely on the city road like water during rain

On the side of the road, houses is engulfed in flames, and chaos reigned as horses trampled over fleeing citizens. 

The sound of screams and echoes of shouts could be heard all over

The once-thriving city now become a scene of suffering and death.

Despite the dire situation, Qiao Meng couldn't blame General Xi Yan for the city's fall. 

Right now, as he is fleeing the city he understood that if Xi Yan had been given more authority, with support from the Xu clan and perhaps reinforcements from Bingzhou or other northern powers, the city might have had a chance to hold out against the barbarian invaders. 

However, the missed opportunities and stubborn decisions had brought Nurshira to this point of devastation.
