C2466 The Man in Black
Lu Yizha was regretting his decision. He didn't insist, but he had listened to Lin Yu's opinion and entered the city, causing him to be trapped here.
Not far from Lu Yizha's station, Princess Qi and Xiao Huan lived here. They were also woken up by the sounds of fighting outside.
"Princess, the soldiers outside have all left." Xiao Huan looked at the soldiers outside who were constantly moving away and said to Princess Qi.
"Maybe the situation at the front line is more critical." Princess Qi lightly said. She did not take this matter to heart. For a person who was not afraid of death, there was nothing to be afraid of. This point was completely different from Lu Yizha's.
"Princess, you said that our journey wasn't peaceful at all. The attack didn't stop for long. When they were in the Imperial Palace... We still couldn't feel it, but when we came out, we realized that it wasn't safe outside. " Xiao Huan said with some emotion.
Indeed, they did not have a few days of peace along the way. They had been attacked by the Rebellion Soldier. Now, it seemed that the people outside the pass had come to join in the fun. They could no longer have peace.
"That's right. Previously, they did not leave the capital. Who would have thought that the outside world would be in such chaos?" Princess Qi said with some emotion and worry.
Previously, they all lived in the Imperial Palace and occasionally went out to play. However, they had never left the capital. What they saw was... It was a peaceful scene. Although there was always news that the Imperial Court was at war with the Fengjue Country... Those who were far away in the capital... They also could not feel the threat of war. Therefore... In the capital, it was still a scene of peace and harmony. Princess Qi had always thought that... Most of the places in the Great Lu Dynasty were similar to the capital.
However, what she saw this time was completely different. Along the way, they saw many people begging along the way. The cities they passed by weren't as prosperous as the capital. It was so peaceful, and more importantly, after they left the capital... The outside world was not as peaceful as they had thought. Instead, there were dangers everywhere.
This made Princess Qi open her eyes. At the same time, she was also very worried.
Initially, Princess Qi thought that the Imperial Court was only at a disadvantage in the battle with the Fengjue Country. As long as the two countries stopped fighting, the Great Lu Dynasty would be able to quickly recover to its previous peak state. Those Rebellion Force were nothing to worry about and could be suppressed very quickly.
However, after witnessing all of this with her own eyes, Princess Qi was no longer as optimistic as before. She discovered that many parts of the Great Lu Dynasty had changed. There was instability everywhere, and the lives of the people were also very tough. Many of them were already lingering on the edge of death. If that was the case... Even if the Imperial Court suppressed the Rebellion Force, there were still some people who couldn't live on. Those who would stand out and rebel once again wouldn't be able to live any longer. Thus, they wouldn't care about the fact that rebellion was a capital offense.
Furthermore, after seeing the unending flow of Rebellion Force, Princess Qi was also worried whether the Imperial Court would be able to suppress these Rebellion Force in an instant.
If nothing could be changed, then what was the point of her sacrifice?
Princess Qi's heart was slightly shaken, but she also understood that if she did not stop the war with the Fengjue Country, the Great Lu Dynasty would be even more dangerous. The internal and external problems would not last for many years.
"No matter what, I have made some contributions to the Imperial Court. The rest can only depend on Royal Brother." Princess Qi thought in her heart.
At this moment, not far from Lu Yizha's residence. A few black shadows were rapidly approaching. It could be seen from their agile movements. They were not ordinary people. Besides, at this moment... The people in the city already knew that someone was attacking the city. They were so scared that they hid in their residences and did not dare to come out. At this moment, only the army of the Imperial Court could come out. There were also some people with ulterior motives.
It was obvious from their attire that they were not the army of the Imperial Court.
"This is the place!" Those people stopped near Lu Yizha's residence and secretly observed the situation around Lu Yizha's residence.
There were still people guarding around Lu Yizha's residence. However, the strength of the guards had weakened. The situation was much better than before. After seeing this, these people were very excited, and they were now more confident in their actions.
Just as these people were about to make a move, another group of people quickly approached. They stopped not far from the group of people who had just arrived. They were just like the group of people who had just arrived. They wore black night clothes and were obviously people with ulterior motives.
The distance between the two parties was not far. Although the night was not good, they could still see each other. All of a sudden, both parties became nervous and drew their weapons to confront each other.
The commotion here immediately alarmed the guards outside Lu Yizha's residence. After all, these men in black were not very far away from the guards. The city wall was still at war, so these guards did not dare to be careless. They were very vigilant.
"Who is it? Who's there? Come out quickly! I can already see you!" The people outside Lu Yizha's residence shouted at the place where the men in black were hiding.
The first group of men in black looked at each other. One of them said in a low voice, "The mission is important. Kill the target first. Don't worry about anything else."
The others nodded and rushed out together. As for the group of people in front of them, they could not care about them anymore.
"What should we do? They seem to have the same goal as us." The second group of men in black said in a low voice.
"It might be someone from another major power. It seems like those people outside the pass didn't only send us to assassinate the target, there are also other people who might be Wang Cheng's men." Another man said.
"Then what should we do?" The person next to him asked.
"Let's go as well. The conflict with Wang Cheng and the others is our own business. The most important thing right now is to kill that First Prince who killed the Fengjue Country first!" The person who spoke earlier said.
"Yes!"1
The others naturally had no objections. Thus, a group of people rushed out and charged towards the guards outside Lu Yizha's room.
The sudden appearance of the black-clothed man had already frightened the guards outside Lu Yizha's room. Although they had heard the movement earlier, they really did not expect that someone would really charge in here.
What they found hard to accept was that these black-clothed men who rushed out were agile. They were actually not a match for them. What made them even more desperate was... At this moment, another group of men in black rushed out. And... The target of this group of men in black was none other than them!
How could they let them live?!
The guards outside Lu Yizha's room were just ordinary soldiers. Facing the encirclement of these two groups of people, it was obvious that they were in a desperate situation. People were constantly killed on the ground. It was unknown whether they were dead or injured.
After the two black-clothed men knew each other's objective, they did not fight each other. They both knew what their most important mission right now was. Naturally, they would not consume their strength. Moreover, it would be better if someone helped them. In that case... They would be able to complete the mission as soon as possible and leave this place. They had already been exposed. The longer they stayed here, the more time they would have to wait. They naturally wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and leave this place.
"What's going on?" The sound of fighting outside the room was quickly heard by Lu Yizha. In fact, under such circumstances, he was so worried that he could not sleep. After the guards retreated, he nervously paced around the room. He hoped that the day would come early and that the defending troops in the city could defeat the people who attacked the city. If that was the case, he could leave this place.
However, before he could get the news he wanted, he had already heard the sounds of fighting outside the room. Because he had been worrying about this, his heart sank when he heard the sound.
Could it be that his worries had come true?
"First Prince, it's bad. There's an assassin!" At this moment, the few followers of the Fengjue Country surrounded Lu Yizha. Compared to the people of the Great Lu Dynasty, Lu Yizha clearly believed in the people of his own country more. Therefore, after these people recovered from their injuries, he stayed by his side. He would be his personal bodyguard.
"Assassin? What assassin? How many people are there?" Lu Yizha grabbed the assassin and asked anxiously.
"I don't know who they are, but they all have their faces covered. There are a lot of them, about a dozen of them." The follower said hastily.
"So many? How did they sneak in?" Lu Yizha said angrily, although many of the city's defenses had been destroyed. But I don't know how many assassins came in and didn't know. Were all the guards here for nothing?
That follower naturally couldn't bring Lu Yizha with this question. Lu Yizha also knew that asking this question was also a waste of time. He hurriedly said, "Let's go out and take a look."
As he spoke, Lu Yizha carried his sword and walked out of the room.
"First Prince, be careful." The follower quickly followed.
When Lu Yizha came out of the room, he saw that his yard had been turned into a pot of porridge. Dozens of men in black were fighting with the soldiers guarding him.
What made Lu Yizha's heart sink was that most of the guards around him had retreated. There were only a dozen or so people left. Moreover, these people did not have much combat strength. At this moment, they were at a disadvantage in the fight with the men in black.
"You want to kill me? That depends on whether you have the ability to do so." Lu Yizha coldly harrumphed. He didn't hide in his room. Instead, he waved the Longsword in his hand and charged into the center of the battlefield, heading straight for the men in black.
