Chapter 204: Chapter 204

Indeed, He Xiao was still with her. The Xiuli Army was still with her. She was not without help. But before long, from the direction of the Yanming Pass came a large cloud of dust. Scouts rushed back, reporting, "Master, about 10 kilometers away, Zhao Yang has led a force of 100,000 strong, and is heading our way! As long as we leave Longyin Pass, we will surely be ambushed."

Yan Xun, Yan Xun, what an amazing move you just pulled on me!

Even if they knew that Yan Xun might be plotting something, this battle could not be avoided.
