On the night the Taiping army arrived outside the capital, the troops set up camp on the spot, and some soldiers and one-third of the generals patrolled the outer perimeter to guard against enemy attacks.

The Taiping Army's performance did not provoke any action from other rebel armies, and the guards on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, these guys don't seem to be planning to attack the city right away, so we still have time to prepare."

"Actually, there aren't many left. His Majesty wants us to hold the capital for four days. I wonder if there's some kind of magic weapon that can turn the tide."

Even the Dragon Guards were deceived by Li Zhi and Liu Jie, who told them a false deadline for their defense, just in case.

After all, the idea of ​​seizing the dragon veins of the world and transforming into a true dragon is still too fantastical for most people.

Even with the extraordinary power of entering the true form, the plan to maintain it for several generations is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The city walls were brightly lit, and the garrison commander in charge of the area had increased his defenses against the Taiping army.

However, the arrangement here was not very effective.

"Whoosh..."

A dark figure quietly left the Taiping army's camp without attracting anyone's attention.

The distance from the camp to the foot of the city wall was a kilometer, but the dark figure covered the distance in almost just a few breaths.

Avoid areas exposed to sunlight as much as possible, and hold onto the gaps between the bricks of the city wall with one hand.

Immediately afterwards, they exerted their strength.

"call……"

The almost invisible gap provided assistance at this moment, allowing Ye Li's body to fly upwards and touch the top of the city wall.

He had just checked this position; now, the two patrol teams were both facing away from him.

With a final burst of strength, Ye Li crossed the city wall, spanning several meters in width, and successfully entered the capital.

The whole process was silent; no one realized that Ye Li had already entered.

He infiltrated.

"This is the capital? It looks pretty good from the outside, but once you see it inside, it's not as nice as I imagined..."

All neighborhoods are under lockdown, and no one is allowed to leave their homes at this time.

There was a torch every three meters. The soldiers patrolling here were not as strong as the Dragon Guards, so they were even less likely to discover Ye Li's presence.

There are three levels of infiltration: the first is to avoid everyone, the second is to eliminate the people who discover you, and the third is to eliminate the people you see.

Ye Li chose the first option; otherwise, he would have simply gone straight to the capital with unparalleled speed.

"The feeling became even more pronounced; once I entered the city, I could even find my general direction."

Such resentment, such a bloodthirsty aura, is unlikely. Even if everyone in the capital were killed, it shouldn't have this effect...

And it was exactly the same as before; I didn't see anything. What were they doing?

The doubts in his heart made Ye Li quicken his pace. He did not enter the capital, but followed the signs and came to the vicinity of the back mountain.

"Just as I thought. Although the security along the way was tight, it was nothing compared to this place."

The defensive line of several thousand men was impenetrable; judging from the imposing aura they exuded, if they wanted to, not even a fly could get in.

He saw the new Dragon Guards that Liu Jie had secretly trained, and he also saw the passage in the back mountain.

Once inside, you'll find the area rife with pollution, the core of the dragon vein.

"It's no longer possible for me to infiltrate this place as smoothly as before..."

The longsword was drawn, and the power within his body flowed.

He was ready; if he couldn't enter peacefully, then he would fight his way in.
