Li Fengyu was unaware that the imperial court had become like this. When he heard what they said, he clasped his hands together.

He knew exactly what his imperial grandfather's health was like.

How could she suddenly become seriously ill?

He only felt that this matter was related to Prince Yu.

pity.

He's not in the capital right now, otherwise I would definitely beat him up.

"The situation is unclear right now, so you should all stay in Beidaying and not go anywhere else."

After General Qi finished speaking with Li Fengyu, he sent someone to invite the generals of the four major camps—East, South, and West—to discuss what to do next.

The generals of these battalions were all trained by him, so naturally they followed his lead.

General Qi pursed his lips and said, "You should continue as usual, doing what you need to do. I will send someone to inform you of any changes later."

A little over a month.

Then the king's men attacked.

His men would seize any man they saw, and women as well, killing all the children and the elderly.

When the prefect of Yeyuan City learned of this, he immediately informed General Qi.

After listening to him.

General Qi said with a complicated expression, "The people of the Prince of Li are so brutal. If we let them into the city, the consequences are unimaginable."

"Then how do we do it?"

The prefect was at a loss for what to do, after all, he was just a local governor.

General Qi said to him, "Let's resist their attack together. As for the people who have fled to Yeyuan City, we should thoroughly investigate them before letting them into the city for resettlement. If they are really difficult to resettle, let them settle on their own first, and we will only provide them with food."

"If we do that, wouldn't we be just like them?"

The prefect frowned.

General Qi shook his head: "No, we are different from them. They are rebelling, we are not. We are just fulfilling our responsibilities."

That seems to be the case.

After the prefect returned, he made the arrangements.

An Wanwan wasn't idle either; she was already tinkering with bombs, with An Miaomiao helping her make them.

They did it in secret, so no one else knew.

Two weeks later.

Even more people fled to Night Abyss City.

When I arrived.

Many people were injured.

Fortunately, none of them were seriously injured.

otherwise.

Even if An Wanwan and the others wanted to help, they were powerless to do so, because Yeyuan City did not have a large supply of medicinal herbs.

Seven days have passed.

The King of Li's men attacked, led by General Yu, one of the King's subordinates. Upon arrival, they ordered the city guards to open the gates and threatened that those who refused would face the consequences.

The young general guarding the city dared not make a decision on his own and immediately sent someone to report to General Qi.

General Qi and his men have been in Yeyuan City these days.

I learned that they had already called.

They rode their horses to this side of the city wall.

General Qi stood on the city wall and glanced down. There were people everywhere outside the city, at least more than 100,000, while the total population of their Night Abyss City was only about 100,000.

Their four battalions together numbered 80,000 soldiers.

It would be obviously disadvantageous to fight them.

They also had catapults.

Although they have it now, it would still be disadvantageous for them to fight.

The prefect asked with a worried expression, "General Qi, can we win this battle?"

It's not that he's afraid of dying.

He was worried that if the fighting continued, not only they would die, but also countless civilians.

After all, when people are blinded by rage, who cares who they're killing?

General Qi said with a serious expression, "Whether we can win or not, we have to fight. Don't say such discouraging things that affect morale again."
