Perhaps there was still something she could do for Jiang Zhixu. Thinking of Jiang Zhixu, her eyes dimmed a little, then became firm again, and she led everyone towards the city gate.
When she arrived at the city gate, Jin Linlin saw from afar that the gate was guarded by a group of rebels wearing armor and holding weapons.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly signaled to Qiuyu beside her. Qiuyu understood, quickly pulled out a flare from her pocket, and lit it without hesitation.
With a loud bang, the flare shot up into the sky like a meteor, emitting brilliant sparks in the air. This dazzling light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
At the same time, Mo Ren was also waiting anxiously outside the city gate. When he saw the signal flare streaking across the night sky, a huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He immediately picked up the military token in his hand and blew the assembly horn without hesitation.
In an instant, the 30,000 soldiers and horses that were originally scattered everywhere quickly gathered together and rushed to the city gate like a surging torrent.
Mo Ren rode on a tall horse, leading the well-trained army and galloping towards the city gate.
Mo Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, various news had been coming from the capital, saying that their master had unfortunately died.
This news frightened him and made him restless. However, today he finally received the long-awaited signal, which meant that his master was still alive and waiting for them at the city gate.
The soldiers at the city gate were immediately panicked when they saw so many troops coming like a tide. They hurriedly sent someone to report the news. Although their rebel army had 100,000 people, they did not dare to take it lightly when facing the sudden arrival of 30,000 enemy troops.
Not long after, the rebel leader hurried over. Standing on the city wall, he looked down at the 30,000 soldiers waiting in formation outside the city gate, and then his eyes fell on Jin Linlin and the others.
His eyes were sharp and alert, as if he was scrutinizing these uninvited guests, trying to see through their intentions.
"Who are you? Why are you bringing troops here?" Jin Linlin stepped forward and said calmly:
"They're here to pick me up. I don't want to get into a fight with you. Let us go. We'll go our separate ways."
The general looked Jin Linlin up and down, as if trying to judge the truth of her words. Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. It turned out to be the leader of the rebel army who heard the news and rushed over.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a sharp gaze. After hearing what Jin Linlin said:
"In that case, this leader can let you out of the city. Please!"
Seeing that they had no intention of making things difficult for her, Jin Linlin nodded and thanked them. The group then successfully left the city and reunited with Mo Ren.
Seeing their backs, the general asked:
"Chief, are you going to let them go so easily?"
"Now is not the time. There are a lot of soldiers in the capital. We have to deal with them well. We don't have the energy to deal with an army of 30,000 people." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the palace.
