At this very moment, General Liang and Lieutenant Qin were still locked in a fierce battle.
Upon seeing the death of the eldest prince, General Liang's heart sank.
He began to back away step by step.
Commandant Qin pressed forward relentlessly, until he reached the foot of the city wall.
Together, the two fought their way to the city gate.
Just then, Feng Qi and his soldiers, along with the soldiers from Dongjin, rushed to the city gate.
They had only one goal, and that was...
Enter the city!
But with a loud creak, the city gate slammed shut!
General Liang was ruthlessly locked out of the city by the Qi capital's garrison commander...
The Qi commander watched the scene unfold below the city with a heavy heart; his actions were truly a last resort.
As the commander of Qi's capital, he had to consider the overall situation.
General Liang, please don't blame me, I had no choice.
Feng Qi and Captain Qin fought side by side.
Huff,
Captain Qin pressed his spear against General Liang's neck...
Unbeknownst to them, at that very moment, a carriage was quietly parked among the bushes.
The two men inside the carriage gazed at the bloody storm in the distance.
Qin Feng curled his lips into a slant.
"Gu Qian, Gu Qian, this time, it's my turn to reap the benefits."
He felt somewhat aggrieved at being used by Gu Qian.
Qiu Dafu silently watched the chaotic battle in the distance, trying to spot his fifth brother and Gu Qian amidst it all.
But in such a chaotic battle, where could he possibly find it?
"What are you going to do?" Qiu Dafu asked Qin Feng.
"Enter the city! How can we kill the Northern Qi emperor if we don't enter the city!"
Qiu Dafu: "Can we get in?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the already tightly closed city gates of Qi.
"Do you distrust Commandant Qin, or do you distrust Feng Qi?" Qin Feng smiled, his eyes narrowing. "The show is about to begin."
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Qiu Dafu glanced silently at the figure that had silently appeared behind him.
He knew that those were all Qin Feng's men.
A peculiar smell, like gunpowder, permeated the air.
This smell made Qiu Dafu feel uneasy and disturbed.
Xiaoyan, why didn't you tell me when you did these things?
He suddenly looked up at Qin Feng, only to see him cough lightly twice, covering his mouth, and slightly purse his lips.
You guessed it?
Qiu Dafu shook his head, looking bewildered. "Guessed what?"
Didn't your eldest niece tell you?
"What?" Qiu Dafu also looked bewildered.
Qin Feng coughed lightly, then pursed his lips.
"Uncle Qiu, since I gave you a free ride the whole way, could you do me a small favor?"
“You lied to me first, so I rode in your carriage. That evens things out.” Qiu Dafu remained unmoved.
"Lie to you? How did I lie to you?"
"Xiao Yan didn't come to Qidu at all." Qiu Dafu stared intently at Qin Feng, his words making Qin Feng feel uneasy.
"Then why did you come along?"
"I only just realized it; you've fooled me," Qiu Dafu said, his words contradicting his true feelings.
"Really? You haven't even asked me how you can help, and you're already thinking about refusing? That's just too hurtful."
Qin Feng lowered his eyebrows.
"Uncle Qiu, don't misunderstand. I just want you to act as my intermediary. Go tell Gu Qian that his move was absolutely right. Also, since he's come all this way, old friends should at least meet up."
Qiu Dafu looked at Qin Feng, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to praise him." Qin Feng's words were somewhat incoherent.
Where is Gu Qian now?
He is currently in the capital city of Qi.
In a courtyard within the capital city of Qi,
Gu Qian and Qi Heng sat facing each other in the pavilion in the lake.
From afar, the two appeared to be enjoying tea and admiring the lotus blossoms, seemingly quite content.
The scene was exceptionally beautiful from afar, completely undisturbed by the noise from the outside world, allowing the two to enjoy their tranquil mood.
But looking at it up close...
They were in a courtyard.
Gu Qian rented this courtyard house as soon as he arrived in Qidu.
