Although the military counselor had good intentions, Wanyan Jing did not show any obvious emotions. But Xin Yu, who was beside him, sneered silently in his heart.
Everything was going according to the woman's plan.
Wanyan Jing did not ask for anyone's opinion. His gloomy eyes looked deeply in the direction of the palace.
But Xin Yu saw his hand that was holding the reins tightly.
Retreat? He did not think it was possible.
"Your Highness, let's retreat first! I'm afraid they are prepared for this! "
The longer they delayed, the worse the situation would be for them.
Beads of sweat appeared on the military counselor's forehead. His instinct for danger, which had been cultivated for many years, made his hair stand on end.
But his master, Wanyan Jing, did not say a word.
It was not terrible to fail at the last step. What was terrible was to know that there was an ambush, but still go to die.
Finally, Wanyan Jing moved.
That handsome face, which was as sharp as a knife, turned to look at him.
Instantly, he heard the sound of his blood freezing.
Fresh blood suddenly spurted out from his chest.
It was so fast that he could see the blood splattering, but the pain did not come.
His body fell to the ground. Even at the moment of his death, the loyal military counselor did not know why his master, who had been planning for the world, would swing his sword at him.
"Noisy. Xin Yu, take a group of people to King City to find out what's going on."
Wanyan Jing put away the long sword in his hand expressionlessly. He did not even look at the man who had been killed by him.
He could only have loyal dogs by his side. He could not tolerate such a self-righteous fool.
"Yes."
Xin Yu bowed his head respectfully, but there was a trace of a sigh in his blue eyes.
The military counselor was indeed a smart man, but he could not see through the character of the person he was loyal to.
He took his own group of people to King City. Killing?
Maybe it was the theme of today.
"Send the news back that First Lady Su has succeeded. The king has agreed to abdicate and let the first prince inherit the throne."
He ordered in a low voice. Someone behind him responded and left.
Before the group of soldiers who had followed him in could react, many black-clothed men silently appeared on the previously quiet and deserted street.
Silver shadows were sent flying, and blood splattered.
But the terrifying thing was that not a single sound was made during the entire process.
His pupils split in an instant, and the strange appearance of his double pupils brought about a shuddering uneasiness.
Xin Yu continued to drive his horse forward, and the group of people behind him once again returned to their horses.
It was just that the people inside were no longer the same as they were before.
He looked into the distance in the direction of Royal City.
That extraordinary woman, who even his true master valued so much, must be waiting for the big fish behind him to take the bait right now, right?
The corners of his mouth cracked into a soundless smile. Soon, everything would be settled.
It was just as she had expected.
Neither he nor Wanyan Jing could escape from that woman's clutches.
Lin Meng Ya and Ning Qiu were still trapped on the palace walls, but their position was very clever and ordinary people would not be able to discover them.
Compared to the chaos outside, this could be considered a safe place.
She stared at the situation in front of her. The person who sneaked up on Ning Qiu must be the first prince's spy in Royal City.
Although Xin Yu had promised that he could block the news here, accidents always happened.
Bu Po and the others had already circled behind the first prince. If there was any news that was detrimental to her plan, Shi Bupo and Xushan would sneak up on them and catch them off guard.
By then, the first prince would have to enter Royal City even if he did not want to.
But that would be disadvantageous to Bu Po and the others.
So even though Lin Meng Ya had already expected it, she still treated it as the last resort.
As time passed, the crowd was still bustling. The people she had sent out could not find the spy hidden in the crowd in such a short period of time.
He clenched his fists. He had to stay calm, or all his efforts would be in vain.
In the distance, a new group of people suddenly appeared.
She heard her heart beating erratically, but she still tried to keep it calm.
The more it was now, the more she couldn't panic.
The group of people was getting closer. Suddenly, she saw the person leading them, but it was not Xin Yu, whom she was familiar with and had been expecting.
In the crowd, a few figures immediately rushed in front of that person.
Lin Mengya cursed inwardly. The soldiers who were scattered and hidden in the crowd also dashed in the direction of the few people.
But they were too late.
She saw with her own eyes a dazzling silver light breaking through the sky. That must be the signal they had agreed on.
Although she did not know what the signal meant, it was definitely not good news for her.
If this went on, Xin Yu would be in danger.
"Pass down my order. Don't let any of them escape!"
Qinghu and Baisu were not here, but she still had her right-hand men with her.
The soldiers, who had received orders in advance to listen to her, immediately turned and ran down the palace wall. Now, it was up to them to see who was smarter.
"Sir, it's the Flying Fire Shooting Star!"
Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the light explode in front of him.
As expected, according to Wanyan Jing's character, he would never trust a person completely.
So he bypassed him and planted other spies in the city.
The message sent by the Flying Fire Shooting Star must be the real situation in the city.
Now that Wanyan Jing had seen it, the message he had just sent back was obviously a lie.
Had he failed at the last moment?
Xin Yu was not willing to give up, but then he thought quickly.
Now he only had two choices. First, he could abandon the dark side for the light. For his own safety, he could not go back to deal with Wanyan Jing.
This meant that Wanyan Jing might immediately retreat. After all, the outside of the city was far more suitable for his army than the inside.
Second, he could risk being killed and go back to lure that man.
Between the two choices, Xin Yu almost did not think much and chose the second one.
"I'll go back alone. You stay here and wait for my orders!"
Xin Yu immediately turned his horse around and ran back after giving his men a death order.
He could not help but feel a sense of danger in his heart. But since he had chosen this path, he would not regret it!
He galloped madly on his horse and soon saw Wanyan Jing's army.
Xin Yu calmed himself down and looked calm on the surface. He galloped in front of Wanyan Jing.
"Your Highness, I've found out that Lady Su has succeeded. Now, only a few diehards are still resisting!"
He lowered his head and answered respectfully.
A cold light shot out from Wanyan Jing's eyes and fell on Xin Yu.
He could clearly feel the suspicion in that man's eyes, but he could not explain it.
The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The next step of probing made Xin Yu tense up all the nerves in his body.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. It can't be false."
He knew that life and death depended on this moment.
He was betting on Wanyan Jing's suspicion. Whether it was him or the spy inside who sent the signal, that person would not completely believe it.
Therefore, Wanyan Jing could either send someone else to check it out, or he could check it out himself.
It would be best if it was the latter, but if it was the former …
He unconsciously clenched the hidden weapon in his right hand. It was not a loss for him to exchange a life for a life.
The atmosphere was tense and cold.
Xin Yu almost held his breath as he listened to that person's words.
"Sure enough, it seems like Su Da really succeeded. Come, follow me to the palace! "
Xin Yu almost exclaimed. He was stunned for a moment and then realized that it was not a good time to be in a daze.
"Your Highness is wise. I'm willing to be your vanguard."
He readily expressed his obedience and eagerness. Wanyan Jing nodded, obviously in a good mood.
Following behind Wanyan Jing, Xin Yu's mind was in a whirl.
Could it be that the meaning of the Flying Fire Meteor was the same as the answer that he had prepared?
He felt that it was impossible. Wanyan Jing's mind was gloomy. Not to mention him, even his master might not be able to see it clearly.
But if it was not someone on their side, then who sent such a signal?
Or did Prince Yu's side really not succeed?
Xin Yu did not reveal the uneasiness in his heart.
In any case, he could only adapt to the situation to deal with it.
At the same time, Lin Mengya also received this strange news.
"You mean that the group of spies were all killed?"
The soldier in charge of passing the order quickly returned to her side. After Lin Mengya carefully asked about the process, she still felt that it was a little unreal.
Xiaoyu and the King's men had been investigating in King City for a long time, but they still could not completely grasp the number of spies.
And where did this mysterious person come from? How could he lure those spies into the trap?
Looking at the crowd under the palace wall, Lin Mengya felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.
It was indeed difficult to deal with a power that she did not know the level and purpose of.
"Young Lady, what should we do next? Please tell us, Young Lady."
Even the experienced soldiers were caught unprepared by the sudden change in the situation.
After all, even on the battlefield, they also needed a general to lead them.
And now, their general was the woman in front of them.
"Act according to the original plan. Separate a small team to monitor the whereabouts of these people and report to me at any time."
Lin Mengya thought about it. She still had to do what she had to do.
Now, it was up to Wanyan Jing's choice.
However, even if he retreated, she still had a way to force that person to enter King City without thinking.
"Go tell Prince Yu and the King to prepare to close the net!"
Although this matter was unexpected, she only had one goal in mind.
