Jizhou City, Prince Yong’s Residence
Chen Xinran looked up at the strange object slowly drifting in from outside the city. Like him, the entire city of Jizhou was staring at the thing in the sky.
What was even stranger—it had dropped a stone tied with a piece of paper. After the city guards opened the note, they immediately went to find Chen Xinran.
“General Chen, His Highness is drunk again. You’d better come back tomorrow,” said the steward at the gate.
Since the siege began, Prince Yong had been drunk nearly every day. Though the other generals had complaints, no one dared speak out because of his violent temper.
Hearing the prince was drunk again, Chen Xinran was furious.
Last time, they gave grain to the barbarians in hopes they’d turn east and fight, but that only made the barbarians look down on them even more.
The barbarians had taken the grain, but mocked them as fools in return.
Chagatai had left, but Beishan and his barbarian army took over and continued the siege on Jizhou.
Only now did they realize they’d been tricked. Beishan didn’t want grain—he wanted Jizhou City itself.
