"Giddy up! Giddy up!"
In the night.
One man and one horse rushed out of Chang 'an City and disappeared into the night.
In the darkness of the night.
Cheng Yaojin and the people who were waiting and lying in ambush all saw this scene. No one knew what this meant.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the direction where the horse disappeared and frowned slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he waved his battle axe and said, "Pass down the order. Everyone is to spread out and tie a strip of white cloth to Lao Tzu's sleeves. If you encounter anyone, let Lao Tzu break their legs first!"
"Especially in Chang 'an City and along the way to Xiao Mountain. Pay attention to the layout!"
"Yes!"
This horse.
It was obvious that something big had happened to the Emperor and he had gone to Xiao Mountain to report to Feng Zi.
What exactly was this major event?
But what was certain was that there had been a huge change!
And in another direction.
In a tent with flickering candlelight in the woods of Shili Slope.
One of the figures was stunned for a moment after hearing this report. Then, he sighed and didn't say anything else.
After a while, the voice of the old man in the tent slowly sounded, "Send the message. Have someone send the message into the city. Tell the people in the city to attack!"
"Also, the people outside the city, withdraw!"
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.
He hurriedly asked, "My Lord, there is only one step left. All the arrangements … If we retreat now, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
There were at least a thousand people here, and behind them, countless people could be seen standing motionless not far away.
At this moment, everyone was silent as if they were waiting for the person in the tent to give the order.
They had been planning for today's operation for a long time.
If he gave up now, that would be …
They really couldn't understand why His Lord didn't gather all his men today, but chose to launch a surprise attack. Even if he took down the Imperial Palace, what was the point?
In the blink of an eye, they would be surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city.
Moreover, this did not include the five thousand well-equipped Golden Guards and the eight thousand Imperial Guards. These were all elites among elites. Even if there were ten thousand people gathered here, even if the Great General could break through the Imperial City, how could they face the Imperial Guards and Golden Guards in the city?
This was something that everyone was confused about.
If they knew that everything that happened today was just a test, and that the mysterious man had no intention of attacking the palace, then …
What would they think?
Outside the tent, everyone was looking at the shadow in the candlelight. However, the person inside the tent still had his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking.
A moment later, the teapot on the stove gurgled as steam rose from it. The person in the tent slowly said, "Pass down the order. The people outside the city can disperse and return to their positions. Without Old Man's orders, no one is allowed to act on their own. Even more so, no one is allowed to reveal tonight's operation!"
"…"
Everyone was stunned.
After an entire night of preparation and even sacrificing some of the soldiers in the city, they gave up just like that?
The mysterious person in the tent did not say anything. However, when he heard the rustling outside the tent, he knew that everyone was filled with dissatisfaction and doubt.
He could only calmly say, "Something happened to the Great General. There's an ambush in the city tonight!"
"What?"
…
On the other side.
The scout hurriedly arrived at the foot of the desolate mountain. He did not go up the mountain. Instead, he passed a bamboo tube to a person who had been waiting there for a long time. Then, the two of them instantly went in opposite directions.
One went up the mountain while the other returned to the city.
The moment the two of them separated.
A group of soldiers once again went into hiding as if nothing had happened here.
That person urged his horse to gallop towards the entrance of White Deer College. After passing the tube to a person at the entrance of White Deer College, he turned back.
At the entrance of the college was the small wooden hut that Zhang Feng was in previously.
When Li Chengqian, who was drinking tea, heard this, he hurriedly stood up and rushed to the door. The secret memorial from the messenger appeared in Li Chengqian's hands.
Li Chengqian did not have time to think. He quickly opened it.
There were only a few words.
The big fish took the bait.
The big fish was Wang Junke!
When Li Chengqian saw this, his hands trembled and he almost tore the note apart.
Wang Junke!
That person.
That person was amazing!
He was actually able to pull him down. Who exactly was this person?
Li Chengqian did not have time to think. He hurriedly pulled the note and rushed out of the wooden hut, galloping towards Zhang Feng's location.
Today's events in the city instantly became complicated and confusing.
They actually managed to lure out the former Five Tiger Generals of Wagang Village. What did this mean?
Was it someone from the military?
Or could it be that someone even more powerful than the military had infiltrated the city?
Could it be that something even more terrifying was waiting for them tonight?
Li Chengqian did not have time to think too much. It was useless to think too much. This was a game of chess, a game of chess. How could he participate in such a game of chess?
However, being able to participate in it already made Li Chengqian extremely excited.
What was this?
This was a real battlefield!
Using the people's hearts as expectations and using a city as a battlefield. This was simply more exciting than personally leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield or guiding hundreds of thousands of soldiers in battle.
