Li Zhengping could not remember how many times he had been defeated by Qin Yichen.
It seemed like he had never won before.
First, Li Gu was defeated in a small place like Qian Lan County.
Then, Li Aofeng was killed in the Twilight Tower.
Then, two elders died outside the city …
And now, it was happening.
Li Zhengping almost wanted to tear apart the Second Prince's trusted aide who had come to deliver the message.
Anger aside.
Anger aside.
He still had to think about how to save the second prince.
Otherwise, Li Zhengping knew very well what awaited the Li Family.
Therefore, even if there were some things that he could not do normally, he had to do it.
Dankai!
Li Zhengping knew exactly what that place was and what it represented.
Even the Imperial Family could not bear the consequences of attacking Dankai.
Therefore, he had to think of a foolproof plan.
"The three of you, follow me into the city tonight. Even if we have to resort to robbery, we have to rescue the second prince!"
Li Zhengping instructed the two elders with the highest cultivation bases.
"Yes!"
The two elders naturally understood what this matter meant to the Li Clan, and they immediately responded cautiously.
Although they would not end well if they went to Dankai to cause trouble, if they could rescue the second prince without anyone noticing, there was still a chance.
…
The second prince was imprisoned in Dankai by Qin Yichen.
This news quickly spread throughout the Twilight City.
The Imperial Family also received the news.
However, the emperor didn't seem to have any reaction to the second prince's imprisonment. Whether it was the memorials from the nobles or the crying Empress Li in the imperial harem, he ignored them all.
The door of the Imperial Study was closed.
The guards at the door stopped everyone who wanted to see the Emperor. They said that the Emperor was reading memorials and could not be disturbed.
This was a strong reason, and the nobles could not refute it.
When Xia Ziling heard the news, she rushed to Dankai to see Qin Yichen.
As soon as she entered, she saw the second prince, who used to be arrogant in front of her, tied up and gagged. He was thrown on the ground.
"Sir, what is going on?"
She was confused.
"How can I not take the fish that came to my door?"
Qin Yichen raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
He could foresee that the Li Family would be angry outside the city.
If they had a choice, the Li Family would not have wanted to kill him. Instead, they would have wanted to break the second prince's head to see what was inside.
The second Li, Li Zhengping, was not to blame. After all, he was Li Zhengping Translation translation. Even if there was politics in the House, no one would have dared to offend him..
"The Li Clan will definitely not let this matter rest. Now that King Xiaoyao is not here, I'm afraid that Sir's safety …"
Xia Ziling was not excited. Instead, she looked at Qin Yichen worriedly.
"Of course, I know. So, I have a few things that I would like you to send to some people."
Qin Yichen was still smiling, as if he was not the one in danger.
"Sir, I am talking about serious business!"
Xia Ziling was anxious. She glared at Li Zhengping. Her coquettish look was very attractive.
"Tsk tsk, Your Highness, you are indeed the most beautiful woman in the Imperial City."
Qin Yichen smacked his lips. When he saw that she was about to lose her temper, he put on a serious face. "I am on serious business. However, it is not convenient for me to go out now. So, I will need Your Highness to do it for me."
As he spoke, he took out a bunch of brocade bags and handed them to Xia Ziling.
Each of these pouches was marked with a name. Every name belonged to a Martial King expert. There were even a few who were Mid Level Martial Kings.
"Sir, this is …"
Xia Ziling looked at him in confusion. She did not understand what he meant.
"Your Highness, you must do this personally. There must be no mistakes. Otherwise … what I am doing will be meaningless."
Qin Yichen looked at her seriously and said.
He was still unable to fight against the Li Family. He could only rely on external help.
He was still very confident that he could borrow external help.
"I will personally hand it to each of them!"
Xia Ziling put away the brocade pouch and ignored the whining Second Prince as she walked out.
"Phew …"
After she left, Qin Yichen heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked out of the window. "The people at Gushan Pass should have received the news …"
As long as King Xiaoyao returned, the current predicament would be easily solved.
What he had to do was to stall for time until King Xiaoyao returned.
…
At night.
It was so dark that one could not see his fingers.
Suddenly, a few black figures rushed out from the main camp outside the city and quickly leaped toward Twilight City.
However, when they tried to sneak into the city at night, they were discovered.
"Xia Ziling!"
Looking at the woman who had summoned her Martial Soul, Li Zhengping, who was dressed in black, clenched his teeth so hard that they almost broke.
Moreover, Xia Ziling was not the only one on the city wall. There were also more than a dozen Martial King level rogue cultivators in the city. Among them, there were even four that could be ranked among the top experts in the entire Twilight City.
Do not think that all the powerful people were born in big families or big forces.
Itinerant Cultivators were also a force to be reckoned with.
However, itinerant Cultivators were itinerant Cultivators after all. They were used to living their own lives. Of course, they could not be compared to big families.
But now, more than a dozen itinerant Cultivators had gathered together. This force was equivalent to a big family.
"Could it be that kid again?"
Soon, Li Zhengping thought of Qin Yichen.
Only Qin Yichen could gather these itinerant Cultivators together!
Although he did not know how Qin Yichen did it, he was sure that Qin Yichen was the one who did it.
Xia Ziling did not have the ability to do so. Otherwise, why would the Seventh Princess not have anyone by her side?
"Traitor!"
Xia Ziling snorted softly. She did not seem surprised to see them.
She could not help but admire Qin Yichen again.
Although there were no spies in the Li Family's camp, every move of the Li Family seemed to be within Qin Yichen's expectations, including this sneak in at night.
Of course, this was not the only thing that surprised her. It was that after she handed over the brocade pouches to these experts, these rogue cultivators, who had originally disdained the nobles, actually eagerly chased after her …
She really could not understand what was in such a small brocade pouch. How could it move all of them?
Of course, this was a good thing for her.
Because she did not have any powerful people under her command.
"Let's go!"
Li Zhengping made a prompt decision and retreated to the camp.
Although he had retreated safely, this did not make him feel better. Instead, it made him feel even heavier.
If this continued, the Li Family would be in the most disadvantageous position.
After all, the Second Prince was a prince. At most, he would lose the right to fight for the position of Crown Prince.
