Chapter 23: It's indeed easier than passing the imperial examination in the capital (2/2)



"It is indeed our army's commander-in-chief. What brings you here?"

Liu Yong stepped forward to meet with the three communications soldiers. In his view, they were just soldiers from three other rebel armies and were not qualified to speak directly with Ye Li.

"Heroes of the Taiping Army, this capital city is our final target."

Standing atop the city wall are the three Dragon Commanders of the Dragon Guard, all highly skilled warriors capable of taking on ten thousand men single-handedly.

If one side makes a move first, there's a fear that others might benefit, and people might become suspicious of each other...

"Enough with the nonsense, what exactly do you want?"

According to the other three rebel kings, they received a report from their informants in the capital that an internal strife would break out in the city in two days, and that the rebels outside would coordinate their attack from within.

Therefore, they agreed to attack together on that day. Whoever broke through the palace first and took off Emperor Liu Jie's head would become the new emperor.

This way, unnecessary losses can be avoided. After all, the gap in individual combat strength in this world is too large. True masters can indeed be able to defeat ten thousand people.

"Tell the others that we agreed."

Ye Li gestured for these people to leave immediately. He looked at the capital city, lost in thought.

"That feeling grew stronger and stronger, making me uneasy, and the whispers in my ear became clearer and clearer."

What exactly is happening in the capital? What is this supposedly doomed Daqian still planning?

Ye Li was still uneasy about the so-called inside-outside cooperation; he felt things wouldn't go so smoothly.

Yes, this was actually a preparation by Prime Minister Li Zhi.

Inside the capital, the black-clad guards he had trained had already secretly apprehended those who had connections with the rebel army.

Then, they disguised themselves as their own, contacted the outside world, and set a time to attack the city a few days later.

That was the day when Emperor Liu Jie and the dragon vein became one.

As long as the three major rebel kings are unwilling to suffer too many losses, these people will most likely agree, and the guards' defensive pressure will be much less.

Moreover, Ye Li broke through the valley illusion array faster than he had planned. The three rebel armies had already agreed that they would become a hindrance to Ye Li as a result.

"As long as Your Majesty controls the dragon vein, everything will be alright."

Unfortunately, his opponent was Ye Li, and he could hear the cries of those wronged souls.

"I'm not going to wait here any longer; I can't waste my time here."

The calls from within grew clearer. What were they preparing for? A mutual destruction, or a desperate last stand?

Although there was a lack of information, Li Zhi's actions in trying to delay his death led Ye Li to roughly confirm one thing.

There are still secret weapons in the capital city belonging to Da Gan, but these things are not yet completed.

He had to act, but if he let the Taiping Army move now, the other three rebel armies would be eager to use them as cannon fodder and expendable resources.

"I'll go in and take a look by myself. Anyway, the three on the city wall are experts in my eyes, but they are no match for me."

Ye Li is very strong, he is really strong now. As the Dragon Commander of the Dragon Guard, he estimates that he can easily take on one or two of them.

Moreover, he is likely to infiltrate next, and the enemy may not necessarily encounter him.

"Let's begin when it gets dark."

Before that, he had the Taiping army set up camp, and then summoned several high-ranking generals to inform them of his plan.

"What, sir? Isn't this a bit too risky?"

"No, I'm 100% confident. If things go smoothly, it might only take a day."

While I'm gone, keep a close eye on your men and make sure other teams don't discover anything amiss.

"Understood, sir. Please return safely."
