Shadow felt a surge of pent-up emotions well up inside him.

This was the most fluent he had spoken since becoming the shadow of Marquis Jingyi, Pei Wugou. How could he give up such a good opportunity?

So the shouts grew louder and louder.

"Strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong..."

The sound echoed loudly in the main hall of the mansion, leaving all the soldiers inside completely dumbfounded.

Especially the soldiers at Iron Gate Pass.

We looked at each other, like bewildered fruits under a bewildered tree.

"What did Marquis Jingyi shout again?"

"It seems like they were talking about... that thing."

"Did I hear that right? Why would the Marquis call me that?"

"I also thought I misheard, but the Marquis has called out so many times. Even if he was wrong, he couldn't have been wrong that many times!"

"Wow! My Lord Marquis... you're so mighty!"

"loyalty!"

"No, no, no! You know the laws of Yunjing. If you do this, you'll be punished sooner or later. Don't blame me if you end up being executed by slow slicing."

……

The guards at the Iron Gate Pass were also completely bewildered.

What the hell did he hear?

Is this the brilliant plan that Marquis Jingyi, Pei Wugou, gave him?

What are the two words that hold the Iron Gate Pass?

What if he's a three-year-old child?

This isn't how you coax someone!

then……

The guard drew his sword with a "whoosh," the blade pointing directly at the shadow, and said coldly, "Are you trying to make fun of me?"

"Hmph, now I suspect that you are not the Marquis of Jingyi from Yunjing at all."

With that, he turned his blade and pointed it directly at Vice General Chen Song, saying, "I'm afraid you may not be a general from Yunjing either."

"Speak, who are you all?"

"How did they steal the command of the army?"

"Has the army's commander been murdered by you all?"

"If we don't give a clear answer today, everyone... will die!"

The Iron Gate Pass garrison commander was clearly highly respected. As soon as he made this move, his men immediately drew their swords, their sharp weapons all pointing at Shadow and his deputy Chen Song.

Chen Song's head was about to explode.

What the hell is going on?!

He took a step forward and said, "Um, let me explain..."

"Explain to my sword!" The guard at the Iron Gate Pass didn't give these people a chance to waste words. He was about to leap up and take down the two people in front of him first, and then he could slowly interrogate them.

But just then, a majestic voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.

"How dare you point a knife at my men!"

At the critical moment, Pei Wugou rushed over and, in a flash, stood directly in front of the guard's blade.

This left the defenders even more bewildered.

Look at Pei Wugou, then look at the shadow... The two look quite alike, but... what are they doing?

Forget it, forget it.

Let's take it first and see what happens.

The blade rose again, slashing straight at Pei Wugou, who was blocking the way.

This strike was powerful and heavy, with an imposing and awe-inspiring presence!

The blade flashed, its sharpness extraordinary.

However, Pei Wugou was completely unconcerned about the blade's reflection. He even took a peek at his own face through the gleam of the blade.

Well, thankfully I packed up before I came!

Very handsome!

very satisfied!

Then, Pei Wugou made his move!

With a slight movement, in the blink of an eye, the guard's strike missed its mark.

Just as the knife was about to fall, Pei Wugou seized the opportunity and suddenly struck out with his palm.

The palm strike surged fiercely, slamming into the blade.

At that moment, the guard felt a powerful force surge towards him, his tiger's mouth exploded, and he couldn't help but loosen his grip, and the waist knife flew straight away.

With a "thud!", the blade struck a wooden pillar at an angle, its body trembling and emitting a teeth-grinding buzzing sound.

The garrison commander's face turned pale instantly.

Such martial prowess is simply terrifying!

This is the only one of its kind in his life!

How can this person be so strong?

Who is he?

"I am Pei Wugou, the Marquis of Jingyi, bestowed by imperial decree!"

Pei Wugou's voice rang out.

He paused, then saw the guard still standing there, bewildered, and couldn't help but ask, "What, you don't believe me?"

How could the garrison dare disobey!

With such martial arts skills, such imposing presence, and such a clean-cut face and radiant appearance, he was exactly the same as the legendary Marquis Jingyi!

Therefore, this person must really be Pei Wugou.

that……

Who is that person in front of me?

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Deputy General Chen Song decided to stop hiding it and stepped forward to quietly explain the situation to the guards at the Iron Gate Pass.

The guard at the Iron Gate frowned upon hearing this.

"What do you mean by 'finding a shadow specifically for a woman'?"

"What do you mean by 'unable to acknowledge that woman as his wife, forcing him to resort to this desperate measure'?"

"This is a battle between two armies."

"Ren Tianye is about to attack... With Jingyi Hou's style, can he really lead us to defend Iron Gate Pass?"

Lieutenant Chen Song also had his doubts, but at this moment, he could only frantically blow his way up, patting the guard on the shoulder and laughing, "Brother, what are you afraid of?"

"Didn't you see the Marquis's martial arts skills?"

"How powerful?!"

"With him here, how could little Ren Tianye possibly break through?"

These words gave the garrison commander a bit more confidence in Pei Wugou. After all, he had just witnessed Pei Wugou's strength, which was simply terrifying.

Pei Wugou dismissed the shadows and took his seat in the main position, beginning to make arrangements for the Iron Gate Pass.

The Iron Gate Pass is located on a vital passage leading to the hilly area along the river. It has high and thick walls, and a beacon tower ten zhang high, making it a formidable stronghold.

Pei Wugou's arrangements were also tailored to the local conditions.

"You must resist Ren Tianye and not venture out of the pass to engage in reckless battles. Just guard the Iron Gate Pass."

"Most importantly, once Ren Tianye's troops arrive, immediately light the beacon fires. I will definitely be in Zhenjiang City at that time and will immediately send people to provide assistance."

……

Pei Wugou made arrangements one by one, gradually calming the uneasy heart of the Iron Gate Guard.

—This Pei Wugou is capable.

Until Pei Wugou's warning rang out.

"I would also like to remind you that Iron Gate Pass is the gateway to the Jiangbei fortress complex. You must guard it well. If anyone is negligent and Iron Gate Pass falls, my sword will not be without its drawbacks!"

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Wugou suddenly exerted his strength.

The armrests on the chair cracked instantly.

This action startled everyone in the hall, and they witnessed Pei Wugou's power even more. The guards even took the lead in kneeling down.

"We will guard the iron gates well for the Marquis!"

Pei Wugou nodded in satisfaction.

After briefly inspecting the Iron Gate Pass, the army set off again towards Zhenjiang City, the most central city in the Jiangbei fortress complex.

Of course, Pei Wugou wouldn't forget to send someone to pick up his beloved Wen He.

Then, they left in a grand procession.

As the guards at Iron Gate Pass watched the direction the army had left in, they finally felt the immense pressure on their bodies slowly dissipate.

"Pei Wugou is too fierce. It seems that I will have to work hard under him in the future, otherwise, if he punishes me once, I will be badly injured, if not killed."

Just as the garrison commander of Tiemenguan was thinking this, a person came running quickly from a distance. It was one of the men that Tiemenguan had sent to Liaohua Lake.

"General, General, General..."

"Oh no! Oh no!"

"Our military rations are gone!"
