The city gate slowly opened, and a gentle breeze from outside the city caressed Wu Guangping's face, causing the corners of his mouth to slowly turn up.
Wu Guangping gave a mocking smile, then said, "Send someone out of the city immediately to report the news."
Upon hearing this, one of them accepted the order, mounted his horse, and galloped out of the city.
Just as Wu Guangping was about to stroll out of the city gate, a clear, melodious voice came from behind him, "General Wu, where are you going now?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Guangping's close associates swiftly drew their swords, shielding Wu Guangping behind them, with the tips of their blades pointing towards the source of the sound.
Then, a young woman dressed in blue appeared before everyone with light and quick steps.
Wu Guangping squinted, using the dim firelight to make out the face of the person in front of him.
When he realized that Lu Qiqi was alone, he rushed to the city gate, gently pushed aside the confidants surrounding him, and took a few steps forward.
He wore a mocking expression, inwardly laughing at Lu Qiqi for overestimating herself and actually thinking of stopping his grand plan by herself.
He raised his voice and said, "Lord Kang Le, you've come alone; you've got quite the courage!"
Lu Qiqi said, "General Wu, don't you think that using this method to delay time is too clumsy?"
Since ancient times, the victor is king. Wu Guangping didn't care about Lu Qiqi's words at all. In his opinion, no matter what the method was, as long as it worked, it was a miracle.
Wu Guangping said, "If the Lord of Kangle Township angers this general at this time, it will not do you any good."
These soldiers guarding the border are all my men. With a single command, you will become a victim of my blade!
Lu Qiqi's expression was evasive, and she kept glancing back. Although her movements were small, Wu Guangping took them all in.
Seeing this, Wu Guangping was certain that Lu Qiqi had no one behind her and was just trying to buy time for Song Yanqing to come to her aid.
Thinking of this, Wu Guangping was even more confident. "Princess Kangle, how about we cooperate? When I become a prince, you can become a princess with a fiefdom."
These words were particularly grating to Lu Qiqi's ears. Looking at Wu Guangping's shameless face made her feel nauseous. "General Wu, do you want me to be so hesitant to act like this, to betray the country, collude with the enemy, and attack my own land?"
Wu Guangping had been thinking that Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing had an ambiguous relationship, but there had been no movement from them for a long time. He wanted her to be pragmatic, see the current situation clearly, and betray Song Yanqing, so that it would be easier for Ajitai to seize the border city.
Unexpectedly, when the time came, Lu Qiqi's mouth was as hard as a rock.
Seeing that his attempt to win over the enemy had failed, Wu Guangping decided to kill. He gently raised his hands and brought them together, saying, "Make your move."
Lu Qiqi hurriedly said, "General Wu, do you really think we are completely unprepared?"
Now that things have come to this, Wu Guangping could no longer leave Lu Qiqi any way out. His trusted men rushed forward, raising their cold blades high, and slashed straight at Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi remained motionless, a hint of mockery playing on her lips.
not good!
Wu Guangping immediately realized that his trusted confidants, whom he had sent out of the city, had not made a sound outside the city even after so much time had passed.
This is very unusual.
Thinking of this, Wu Guangping shouted loudly, "Someone, come quickly!"
He was trying to use this method to gather all the people he had arranged.
Just as the blades were about to reach Lu Qiqi, a dozen black figures suddenly appeared in the air, and the sound of clashing blades echoed continuously below the city wall.
Wu Guangping's cries for help did not bring him any reinforcements; instead, he watched as his trusted men fell one by one before his eyes.
Seeing this, Wu Guangping still didn't understand what was going on, which meant that all his years of guarding the border town had been in vain.
He glared at Lu Qiqi with extremely venomous eyes, then mounted his horse, intending to escape the military camp.
The sounds of swords clashing behind him ceased, and Wu Guangping had just stepped out of the border city gate on horseback when the scene before him left him completely dumbfounded.
The massive army quickly converged on him in a semi-circle, trapping him firmly in place, unable to advance or retreat.
It turns out, he was the one who was caught in the trap!
Seeing the scene before him, Wu Guangping knew that the outcome was already decided, but he was by nature combative and had worked his way up, and his current power was all earned through scheming.
After tonight, all will be lost.
However, he refused to accept his fate. He rode a tall horse, trying to see through the dense army to get a clear view of Ajitai's troops on the grassland.
Unfortunately, all was quiet in the distance.
The wind and waves swept across the grassland, and the scent of grass filled the air.
Previously, Wu Guangping's trusted confidants were also arrested and severely punished.
Seeing this, Wu Guangping understood everything, and he suddenly burst into laughter.
Everyone was puzzled by his appearance, but the direction the blade was pointing did not move at all.
Wu Guangping looked up at the scattered dots in the sky and laughed loudly, "I never thought that I, who have never been merciful in my life, would be defeated by a bunch of little brats like you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Guangping quickly drew his broadsword from his horse, poised to break through the encirclement.
He drew his broadsword, and in the next instant, his wrist was slashed, and the broadsword fell to the ground.
In an instant, a dark figure suddenly kicked Wu Guangping twice in the chest.
Under the force of gravity, Wu Guangping fell heavily off his horse, spitting out blood.
Seeing this, the Shadow Guards instantly placed their blades against Wu Guangping's neck, forming layers of encirclement.
At the same time, Song Yanqing landed on his feet and faced the soldiers, saying, "Wu Guangping has committed treason and colluded with the enemy. The evidence is conclusive, and he has been arrested on the spot!"
These words resonated deeply.
The soldiers present looked at Wu Guangping with incomprehension and resentment.
