Noble Husband At the Door

Outside Gai Luo City.

Night was about to fall. The siege army did not launch many large-scale attacks during the day, and after nightfall, they even stopped.

Pei Gu sat in the tent, paying no attention to the food beside him. He focused all his attention on the topographic map in his hand.

He was studying the entire structure of Gai Luo City, trying to find some weak points of defense on it and break it down.

The Pei family was a great force of the Devil Clan. If he couldn't take down a small Gai Luo City, how could he, Pei Gu, show off?

While he was watching, his attendant quietly walked into the tent and bowed slightly. "Master, Divine Dragon Elder has sent someone to inform us that she will arrive here in a few minutes."

Hearing this, Pei Gu slightly put down the map in his hand and looked at his attendant. "Divine Dragon Elder? They are back?"

"The battle in the mountains has ended." The attendant nodded.

"It seems that this Samuel is not as strong as I expected. I thought that he could last for a long time." Pei Gu smiled disdainfully and said, "These bastards, they didn't send a signal after winning the battle and came here to show off their achievements, did they?" The attendant sighed and didn't speak. Obviously, what his master said was exactly what he thought.

"Come on, we can't defeat Gai Luo City. We should have let them come to denounce us."

After saying that, Pei Gu stood up and put away the map. After slightly tidying up his clothes, he sat on the chair and waited with his eyes closed.

In less than a moment, the curtain was opened and Ming Yu slowly walked in with Ye Shijun and the others.

Pei Gu did not open his eyes when he heard the voice. He merely let out a bitter laugh and said slightly, "It is indeed my responsibility for failing to capture GGai Luo City. You can laugh at me if you wish."

Ming Yu and the others looked at

each other with complicated expressions on their faces. After a while, Ming Yu forced a smile and said, "The defense of Gai Luo City should be firm, and there is a large amount of internal strength. It is indeed a dream to capture it in a short time."

"That's right. I personally spent a lot of time building the city wall. I know how solid it is." Zhu Yanshuo followed closely behind.

Hearing this, Pei Gu frowned slightly.

It seemed that he did not expect them to have such an attitude. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at Ming Yu and the others in confusion. "Aren't you here to denounce me?"

"Master Pei, you must be joking. We are all on the same boat. How can we blame you?"

"That's right. Fighting is a common occurrence."

Pei Gu chuckled. These people seemed to have suddenly become strange to him. "What, did the sun come out from the west?"noveldrama

"You don't have to do this. You've won the battle, but I'm stuck in the mire and can't get out. In comparison, it's clear who is better. I feel ashamed."

As soon as Pei Gu finished speaking, the atmosphere of the whole scene dropped to the freezing point. The smiles of Zhu Yanshuo and the others also froze on their faces.

"Actually..." Ming Yu wanted to say something, but before she could finish her sentence, she could not continue.

Zhu Yanshuo was very cautious. At this time, he coughed softly and said, "There is something that we actually want to discuss with Patriarch Pei."

Pei Gu frowned. He looked at Zhu

Yanshuo, then at Ming Yu and the others. He could not help but let out a hoarse laugh. "Heh, everyone, you have won a great victory. You want

to discuss matters with a defeated general like me? Did I hear wrongly?"

Ming Yu and the others looked at each other with embarrassment. Ming Yu nodded to Zhu Yanshuo. Zhu Yanshuo nodded slightly and smiled awkwardly, "Patriarch Pei, you..."

"Well, let me talk." Ye Shijun directly interrupted Zhu Yanshuo's words and looked at Patriarch Pei. "Don't be so eccentric. We besieged Samuel in the mountains, but we have been defeated."

Hearing this, Pei Gu's face, which was originally full of dissatisfaction, now completely turned into shock. "What did you say?"

Defeat... defeat?
