Ye Li felt a little bit troubled by the sudden appearance of the Shadow Talisman Saint and the information revealed by several people during their conversation.
He knew that the Tianxia Alliance had a conspiracy, and he guessed that it was probably going to attack the capital of Tang.
However, he had no idea how the Tianxia Alliance was going to attack Tangjing City. There were Zhenzhong Army guarding near Tangjing City, and there were also imperial guards in the city. Even if the Tianxia Alliance could suddenly produce tens of thousands of people, it would be impossible for them to kill their way into the palace.
Although the method that Ye Li and his team had used to assassinate Li Ruhai was clever, Li Rushan had already been prepared for it. After all, he was also a participant and knew well how powerful this method was.
As long as there is an insider in the inner city, the opponent's assassination can reach him right in front of him.
In response to this, Li Rushan has replaced many people in the palace with his trusted confidants.
Moreover, Tiankui Fu Sheng regained his enthusiasm for protecting the royal family because of Li Rushan's succession to the throne. After all, in his eyes, Li Rushan was much better than Li Ruhai.
The current Tang Imperial Palace is not impregnable, but even if someone manages to sneak in, assassination would be much more difficult than in the past, and it could even be said to be almost impossible.
After guessing for a while, Ye Li and Huo Xing still couldn't come up with an answer, so they stopped worrying about it and all of them rode on the Fenglin beasts and started heading towards Dongfang City.
Ye Li must tell Ding Si about this news and ask him to inform Li Rushan.
After Li Rushan became aware of the dangers, it would be impossible for even the Shadow Talisman Saint to assassinate him.
Soon the group returned to Dongfang City. Ye Li immediately asked Ding Si to convey the message to Li Rushan and asked Li Rushan to prepare in advance.
… … … … …
Bian Yingxiong, the commander of the second division of the Zhenzhong Army, was resting in the barracks.
Suddenly, a trusted subordinate rushed in from outside the tent, looking a little panicked.
"Wu Ming, what are you panicking about!?"
Bian Yingxiong turned his head to look at his men who rushed in and asked with a frown.
"Commander-in-chief, something bad has happened. Commander Huang Ye of the First Division and Commander Li Xi of the Third Division have assembled two armies at the same time and are charging towards us and the Fourth Division!!!"
Wu Ming’s words shocked Bian Yingxiong.
"What are they rushing over for? Is it a military exercise?" Bian Yingxiong grabbed Wu Ming in front of him and asked.
"Sir, I don't think they are acting. Everyone is fully armed and moving very quickly. We don't have time to assemble the whole team!!!"
Upon hearing this, Bian Yingxiong didn't dare to ask any more questions and rushed out of the tent.
Sure enough, not far outside the second military camp, two large armies were charging towards them in a mighty manner. It definitely didn't look like an exercise, but a real attack on the camp.
"Sound the alarm, abandon defense, everyone retreat in a free formation, heading towards Qingxi River three miles away!!!"
Bian Yingxiong yelled at Wu Ming, asking him to pass on the order immediately.
After Wu Ming received the order, he quickly passed it down. The alarm bells began to sound, and all the soldiers from the second division had left the tents.
The four tribes not far from them had also discovered the movements of the first and third armies, and were now standing there with confused looks on their faces.
"It's too late to call the four teams. Let's retreat quickly. It will be too late if we are late!!!"
As Li Rushan's confidant, Bian Yingxiong had naturally been reminded by Li Rushan that something might happen recently.
Now, when they saw the first and third armies charging towards them, they immediately realized that something unusual had occurred. Without caring about the fourth army who were still in a daze, they immediately led their own troops to evacuate.
The camp of the four tribes was still some distance away from them. It was impossible for him to rescue them, and it was too late for him to go over and discuss anything with them. He could only use actions to attract the attention of the four tribes.
Sure enough, after Bian Yingxiong led the officers and soldiers of the camp to evacuate the camp in a free formation, the four armies also reacted and began to retreat with them.
However, the reaction of the Fourth Division was a little slow, and the armies of the First and Third Divisions rushed into the camp of the Fourth Division with overwhelming force.
The soldiers of the four armies never expected that they would be killed by their fellow soldiers in the camp.
Although the four military camps were separate, they were not too far apart, and many soldiers had interactions with soldiers from other camps. After all, the Zhenzhong Army was always a whole.
But now the Zhenzhong Army actually split up, and two armies directly swung their swords and slashed at the other two armies.
Bian Yingxiong was full of doubts. In the previous Zhenzhong Army, there were two armies led by Li Ruhai's confidants. These people had been replaced after Li Rushan succeeded to the throne, but why would these two people launch an attack on them now
The screams from behind kept reaching Bian Yingxiong's ears. His expression was full of pity, but he still did not dare to lead his troops back.
Behind them, there was only a contingent of about 3,000 men from the Fourth Army following them. These men reacted quickly and rushed out of the camp at the first possible moment, otherwise they would have been trapped in the army's sword formation.
"Run quickly, let the remaining troops from the four divisions catch up. After we cross the Qingxi River, we will flee towards the Huangshan Valley. There are forests and valleys over there, and the terrain will make it easier to escape from the enemy."
Bian Yingxiong instructed the people around him to pass the message to the 3,000 people behind him.
The camps of the four armies were already littered with corpses. When the two armies charged together, the unprepared soldiers had no power to stop them and were quickly killed.
After slaughtering four armies, the people from the first, third and second armies continued to chase after Bian Yingxiong and his men who were fleeing. However, considering the distance, the chances of them catching up were very small.
Bian Yingxiong led the remaining troops and quickly ran to Qingxi River. He led his soldiers across the river to the other side, and then began to dive into the Huangshan Valley as quickly as possible. Then, with the cover of the trees and the changing terrain of the valley, they quickly shook off the large group of pursuers behind them and hid.
After probing, the first and third armies realized that it was difficult to capture Bian Yingxiong's team, so they turned around and left without trying. Even Bian Yingxiong, who was secretly observing from a distance, could hardly believe it.
"What do they mean, are they just leaving like that?"
Bian Yingxiong said doubtfully.
"Sir, what exactly happened? Are the brothers from Divisions 1 and 3 crazy? How could they turn against each other and attack us and Division 4?!"
One of Bian Yingxiong's trusted subordinates still had a look of disbelief on his face; he had never expected such a thing to happen.
"Lei Dong, from now on, the 1st, 3rd and 2nd divisions are our enemies, you must remember this clearly.
In just a short while, they killed 12,000 soldiers from the four armies. When their knives come to chop you and me, they will definitely not hold back. "
Bian Yingxiong said with a frown.
