Xin Yu rode by Wanyan Jing's side. Even now, he still felt a little uneasy.
In such a situation, it was inevitable that he would be confused.
If it was his own people, it would be fine. Otherwise, there would be endless variables.
But no matter what, Wanyan Jing, who had received confirmation from both sides, completely believed the current situation.
"Your Highness, there is a surprise attack outside the city!"
The messenger suddenly rushed over, but Wanyan Jing did not panic.
"How many people are there?"
"Only a few hundred, no more than a thousand."
Wanyan Jing snorted coldly and waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave.
"It's just a desperate struggle. Don't leave anyone alive."
Xin Yu knew that it was Lin Mengya. Up until now, things had not gone beyond their expectations. He just looked around and whispered.
"I saw many people gathered in the city just now. Your Highness, if you let the army enter the city now, it will be difficult."
This time, they had brought more than fifty thousand people.
They had surrounded the entire city. Among these fifty thousand people, most of them were the elites of the tribes and clans that supported Wanyan Jing.
Wanyan Jing did not fully trust these people.
Today, he was relying on the ten thousand confidants that he had personally brought with him.
Xin Yu's gaze swept over a group of figures hidden under greenish-gray armor, and he felt a little nervous.
He had only heard that these ten thousand people were trained by Wanyan Jing using a special method.
Although they could not fight a hundred people alone, they were far more powerful than ordinary people.
Fortunately, there were many people in the city who had been incited by them.
Wanyan Jing did not care about the lives of these people, but he could not afford to lose the support of the people.
"Alright, I will bring three thousand elite soldiers in. The rest of you, surround all the exits of the city. No one is allowed to leave without my orders."
Wanyan Jing was more cautious than Lin Mengya had expected. With the current military strength of the city, five thousand people were enough to massacre the entire city.
Xin Yu only saw the cold, bloodthirsty look in the man's eyes. He was afraid that Wanyan Jing did not just want the throne.
The people's emotions were appeased. Unknowingly, the real commoners were separated to the edge of the crowd.
Unknowingly, a group of people in civilian clothes had blended into the crowd.
There were so many people that it was hard to distinguish them.
"The First Prince has returned to the city —"
Not far away, a voice suddenly sounded.
The people were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. They hurriedly knelt down and opened up a path to the palace.
Lin Mengya hid on the palace wall. With her excellent eyesight, she narrowed her eyes and watched the group of people approaching.
The atmosphere in the crowd was still very peaceful. Even the cunning Wanyan Jing couldn't sense the secret hidden within.
Xin Yu's expression remained the same. He followed Wanyan Jing from a distance, fulfilling his role as a henchman.
At this moment, Wanyan Jing was very pleased with himself. The sneer on his face was filled with pride that he had never shown before.
He had planned for so many years, and finally, Lie Yun was going to belong to him completely!
The black stone walls of the palace were getting nearer and nearer. Wanyan Jing tried his best to restrain his urge to gallop away.
Soon, this palace would belong to him!
He was close! It was getting closer and closer!
Lin Mengya clenched her fists. Behind her, an archer with well-developed arms had already drawn his bow.
"Release!"
She shouted coldly in a low voice, and the arrow instantly shot out.
Wanyan Jing saw that the arrow was getting nearer and nearer, but the sword in his hand was ready. He turned sideways, waved his sword, and slashed at the arrow.
The arrow broke and fell to the ground.
Wanyan Jing seemed to have expected that someone would attack. He sat up straight and shouted.
"Men, kill them!"
The five thousand elite soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward, and the crowd was about to be dispersed by them.
At this moment, the people kneeling on both sides of the street immediately pushed the people behind them to retreat.
Suddenly, many figures appeared on the walls of the houses on both sides of the street.
These people were dressed differently, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all holding bulging bags in their hands.
After the commoners were pressed into the alley, those people immediately took out the things in the bags and threw them towards the elite soldiers.
Wanyan Jing thought that it was some kind of hidden weapon, but when he looked closely, he found that it was just a small cloth bag the size of a palm.
Those cloth bags were filled with light yellow powder. For a moment, all of his elite soldiers were trapped in the light yellow powder fog.
"What's going on?"
Wanyan Jing could only hear people coughing, but his soldiers would not fall just like that.
Strangely, other than the subordinates around him, no one answered him.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious. I'll go and take a look!"
Xin Yu turned around and ran to the back.
The attack of the yellow powder temporarily came to an end, and the fog in the air quickly dispersed. However, most of the elite soldiers that he was so proud of were lying on the ground.
Xin Yu, who was not far away, galloped away.
Wanyan Jing then realized that he had been tricked!
"This thing is poisonous!"
The people around him who were still participating in the attack had already smelled the faint medicinal fragrance in the yellow powder.
Wanyan Jing took a deep breath, but he was furious.
These things were useless to ordinary people, but to his elite soldiers, they were no less than frost!
"Send the signal! Let them attack, and retreat for now! "
The man beside him immediately acted, but before he could release the Flying Fire Meteor, a hidden crossbow arrow flew out and knocked his subordinate off his horse, and he was staring at the ground.
"Don't bother, they will never hear your news!"
A lazy voice came, and in front of Wanyan Jing, a slender man with exquisite eyebrows appeared.
"You are Qinghu!"
Qinghu nodded, and his eyes were full of disdain for the man.
"Yes, come on, let me see how powerful the First Prince of Lieyun is!"
The sword in his hand flew down from the roof like lightning, and stabbed at the man on the horse.
Wanyan Jing frowned. Then, he dragged the guy beside him to be his scapegoat. He took advantage of the moment when Qinghu's sword pierced through the man's chest and ruthlessly took Qinghu's head …
The situation was reversed. Under the cover of the yellow powder, at least 70% of the 5,000 people were lying on the ground, and the rest were more or less affected in combat.
Those who were hiding among the people also came out. Although they were slightly outnumbered, they were evenly matched with those people.
At this moment, even Ning Qiu was puzzled. She did not understand how those people completely lost their combat ability in such a short time.
"Let's go, leave the rest to Xiaoyu and the others."
The gate of the palace opened, and the soldiers came out like a tide.
But these people only attacked the elite soldiers who could still fight, and the impersonators, who temporarily relieved the pressure, ran to the elite soldiers who were still lying on the ground to kill them.
"Young Lady, what is going on?"
Under the escort of the guards, the two of them came down from the palace wall, and Ning Qiu could not help but ask.
There were people running out from both sides, and no one looked at them.
"Let's go and find the King and the Queen, and I will tell you."
Lin Mengya took a deep breath after looking at the situation on the alien planet.
The following chaotic battle was not something she could command. She could deal with conspiracies, but she was not good at marching and fighting.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the Council Hall.
It was tightly surrounded, and there were three layers of people inside and outside. No one could come in except for them.
"Helan greets the King and the Queen."
Lin Mengya, who was eight months pregnant, wanted to bow, but was immediately held by the Queen.
"Good girl, it is inconvenient for you now, and you are our family's great benefactor. Don't care about these superficial greetings. Come, sit."
The Queen smiled and looked at the girl in front of her.
It was the first time that Lin Mengya met the Queen since she entered the palace, and she had a lot to say.
But now was not the time to catch up.
"Sister, I … I'm going out!"
Behind the Queen, Xiaoyu, who was dressed in a military uniform, looked a little nervous.
But what made him more helpless was facing the woman who always occupied the first place in his heart.
"Well, be careful, we will wait for you to come back."
Her eyes were gentle and firm, and it was finally time for her Xiaoyu to fight in the sky.
The child nodded heavily, put on his helmet, took his long sword, and strode out of the Council Hall.
Lin Mengya pretended to be relaxed, but it was also replaced by worry.
After all, she was still worried.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyu is a good boy, and he will be the best king of Lieyun."
Her hand was gently pulled up by the Queen. Lin Mengya turned her head and saw the gentle smile on the Queen's face.
"Yes, he is my brother, and also your son, so he will never let us down."
She should have more confidence in Xiaoyu than anyone else, shouldn't she?
She habitually stroked her belly gently, and let them wait for the news of victory with the baby.
"Your Majesty, I have one thing to ask you. In any case, you must answer me."
Looking up at the King, Lin Mengya said very seriously.
The King looked at her calmly, nodded, and said.
"What you want to ask is whether there is another branch of the royal family. Yes, it is true. Although those who are not of the royal lineage are a little different from our branch, and can't feed the King Gu. But there is another branch, and their blood can also feed the King Gu. It's just that these people should have all died decades ago. "
This kind of royal secret, except for the King himself, no one else was qualified to know.
But now, he had nothing to hide.
"Then, where was the last place they appeared?"
Lin Mengya asked, but the King just looked at her with a complicated expression and said in a low voice.
