Suddenly, his gaze shifted from playful to sharp as he looked at Zhu Yougui and Hong Ao on the mountaintop. The two had already quietly retreated. A meaningful smile appeared on Li Zhu's lips; it seemed he needed to make some preparations…
Dongwoyi!
This place has clearly become Zhu Yougui's private domain, and everything here is now under his command...
After gathering intelligence, the two returned to Dongwoyi to discuss countermeasures, refining their previous plan to ensure its success...
Upon arriving at Dongwoyi, Zhu Yougui immediately seized control of the entire military force, integrating his private army with the existing soldiers of Dongwoyi, thus increasing the troop strength to over 50,000...
Therefore, with the support of a strong military force, Zhu Yougui was brimming with confidence and felt that taking Qincheng in one fell swoop was not a problem...
"General Hong, this infiltration of Qin City is fraught with danger. Please prioritize your own safety. If things become unbearable, leave Qin City immediately, and we'll consider other options..."
Zhu Yougui said this with concern before Hong Ao left!
This made Hong Ao extremely grateful, and strengthened his resolve to serve the Prince of Jin...
If Zhu Yougui knew that he had done Hong Ao a favor, but Hong Ao had attributed the favor to his father, Zhu Wen, he would probably chop Hong Ao up with a single stroke...
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This time, it's all or nothing..."
Hong Ao also said with a firm expression!
After Hong Ao left, Zhu Yougui's face darkened. He actually hoped Hong Ao wouldn't come back, so that he would be surrounded by his own people...
Hong Ao then released several carrier pigeons. Watching them fly away, Zhu Yougui's eyes were deep with determination. He was about to fight for a different future for himself...
Qincheng!
Wang Yanzhang and Zhao Feng seemed to have forgotten their identities, and both of them unleashed the lightness skills they had learned throughout their lives...
The entire Qin City was filled with the figures of two people jumping around, and Zhao Feng's shouts could be heard from time to time, but it had no effect. It was clear that Wang Yanzhang was furious. He couldn't vent his anger on Li Zhu, so he could only take it out on Zhao Feng.
During the chase, both of them actually improved their lightness skills significantly, but they were still human after all, and their physical strength had its limits...
Finally, the two of them were only a few dozen meters apart, staring at each other, panting heavily...
"Oh dear, aren't these General Zhao and General Wang? What's wrong? They look so tired..."
Seeing that the two men were exhausted, Li Zhu immediately appeared in front of them and began to mercilessly mock them…
He was clearly just enjoying the spectacle, and most importantly, he had somehow gotten two slices of watermelon from Li Zhu, which he was happily devouring, taking bites from one side and the other from the other, becoming a spectator watching the two of them dazzle...
This made the two of them so angry they almost couldn't breathe and nearly fainted...
This is outrageous! The two of them couldn't help but internally rant, "The reason we're like this is because you're stirring things up behind our backs..."
"you…"
The two men pointed at Li Zhu and stammered "you" for a long time, but couldn't finish their sentence. They just stared fiercely at Li Zhu, their hands on their trembling knees, and slowly moved towards him...
This made Li Zhu feel a little guilty. He looked at the two people who were trying to get closer to him even by shuffling, and subconsciously wanted to dodge them. However, the two people didn't seem to pose any threat in their current state...
He looked at the two of them with a mocking expression and said...
"Little turtle, crossing the sand river, crawling forward step by step..."
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, the two of them completely lost their composure. Was this something a human being could do? Not only did he put them in this state, but he also turned around and mocked them?
Snap!
Before Li Zhu could react, Zhao Feng snatched the watermelon from his hand and started eating it bite by bite, clearly extremely hungry and thirsty...
Then his other hand suddenly went empty as well; Wang Yanzhang snatched the other slice of watermelon from him and began to eat it in large bites…
Li Zhu was momentarily confused. Didn't Wang Yanzhang grab my hand just now?
It’s over…
I'm not clean anymore...
Li Zhu shook his hand, then kicked Wang Yanzhang, who didn't even spare a melon rind. Afterwards, he shook his hand in disgust and hurried back to take a shower, wanting to wash away the unseen filth...
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness..."
Zhao Feng, the sixth son, had just recovered some strength after eating the watermelon. Seeing him kick Wang Yanzhang to the ground, regardless of whether it was to help him or not, he had to confirm the fact that the Crown Prince was there to protect him during his escape…
He essentially dragged Li Zhu into the mess, leaving both Li Zhu and Wang Yanzhang stunned. They wondered when this guy's intelligence had suddenly become so sharp.
"Li Zhu...you'll never see my daughter again..."
Wang Yanzhang's angry voice echoed throughout Qincheng, prompting Zhao Feng, who had already run far away, to scoff, "So what if you have a daughter...?"
Li Zhu was helpless. It was just a subconscious act, and he had offended his future father-in-law. Who could he reason with? There was no way to explain it now. Zhao Feng had already run away, which was tantamount to confirming that he and Zhao Feng had conspired to frame Wang Yanzhang...
However, Li Zhu had no intention of going back to explain, so he could only silently take a bath, letting everything dissipate in the water...
Wang Yanzhang lost track of Zhao Feng, and with nowhere to vent his anger, he could only stand there, raging helplessly...
Zhao Feng, relieved to have escaped unscathed, thought to himself that the two brothers would not be able to meet easily in the future...
Outside Qin City!
Hong Ao had already removed his red armor and put on a civilian's uniform. He mingled with the crowd and quietly entered the city. Some of his men entered the city with him, but not all of them were able to enter smoothly. Some were discovered by the guards and arrested...
Upon hearing from his subordinates that several spies had been captured, Li Zhu knew that the enemy's plan had begun...
Then his men must begin; only at this moment does the battle between the two sides truly begin…
Hong Ao was unaware that the moment he entered Qin City, he had been watched, and his every move would be observed by Li Zhu…
However, Li Zhu didn't want to alert them; instead, he wanted to see what they were up to...
"Your Highness, Hong Ao and his men have been frequently contacting the nobles and wealthy merchants of Qin City, seemingly trying to persuade them to help him..."
As the top spy chief, the intelligence work was naturally entrusted to the Marquis. Moreover, there was also the power of the outer marquis officials, although it was relatively weak. After the Marquis's incorporation and reorganization over the past few days, the entire Qin City was under his strict control. No matter what happened in Qin City, it could not escape the Marquis's ears and eyes. This is the great role of a spy chief...
