2476: C2476 Retreat

C2476 Retreat

Lu Yizha and many of the people in the Fengjue Country now understood. The first enemy they needed right now was not the Great Lu Dynasty, but some of the surrounding countries. Therefore... They were not willing to start a war with the Great Lu Dynasty at this time. And because of this... If Princess Qi died, they would not do anything about it.

Speaking of which, Princess Qi's death did not have much to do with the Fengjue Country. After all, the ones who killed Princess Qi were the people from other countries and the rebels in Great Lu Dynasty. Therefore, as long as he explained it clearly, he believed that the Great Lu Dynasty would be able to understand.

Princess Qi obviously did not know what Lu Yizha was thinking. If she knew... She would definitely use this opportunity to fake her death and escape. If that was the case, would she be able to be free? Although it would cause her to lose her identity as a princess. However, freedom was obviously more important to her.

Mo Lei's personal guards brought Lu Yizha to a safe place in the city and temporarily stopped. There was a war going on at the city wall. They couldn't get out yet, so they could only wait.

Lu Yizha, who had escaped, did not worry about his own safety anymore. As long as there was a ceasefire outside, he could go out and meet up with Old General Mo Lei. That way, he would be truly safe.

Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu in the pass received the news that their mission had failed one after another. After receiving the news, they retreated from the top of the city wall and gave up on attacking the city. Originally, they attacked the city to attract the attention of the city guards. Then, so that the people hiding in the city could assassinate the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty and First Prince, the Fengjue Country. Now that the assassination mission had failed, their people had been exposed. In that case, there was no point for them to continue attacking the city. They could only choose to retreat.

Although they were unwilling to do so, they could only accept it.

"These two are too lucky." Wang Cheng sighed in his heart.

Since the ambush in Cangling Mountain, Lu Yizha and Princess Qi had been in danger many times. However, their lives were really big, and they had been in danger many times. Yet, they were still alive. Such a situation... Wang Cheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

However, there was nothing else he could do besides sigh with emotion. Assassination was a good idea, but it could only be used once. Now that he had been exposed, he still had no idea where Lu Yizha was. Even if he knew, the other party had already become alert and wanted to assassinate him again. It would be very difficult for him to succeed.

Thus, they could only give up.

Of course, it wasn't like they didn't receive any good news tonight. The good news was that they discovered that the defense of this pass was quite poor. They had almost taken the city down without any preparation. Next time, if they were prepared, the city would be theirs.

More importantly, the reason why the city had not been taken down tonight was because... It was because of the existence of the family sending team. However... This team wasn't a regular garrison here after all. They had to leave... To be exact, this family sending team would leave tomorrow. Once they left, the defense of the city would become weaker. At that time, if they wanted to attack the city, it would be very simple.

Therefore, although he couldn't assassinate Princess Qi and Lu Yizha, he wouldn't be too upset.

However, there was another piece of news that attracted his attention. It was that there seemed to be an expert protecting the princess from the shadows. This was not a good thing for Wang Cheng and the others. This would greatly increase the difficulty of killing Princess Qi.

However, now wasn't the time to think about these things. After knowing that this matter couldn't be done, Wang Cheng gave the order to stop the siege and withdraw the troops. On the other side, Shi Dafu also gave the same order.

Hence, on the side of the city wall that was in full swing earlier, it suddenly became quiet. The defending troops on the city wall were still confused about this situation.

"Tell everyone not to be careless, in case those traitors play any tricks." Lin Yu said.

They had just experienced a soul-stirring battle, and at this moment, the guards in the city... Of course, they wouldn't dare to relax even a little bit. Wasn't that just a joke on their own lives? Therefore, even if Lin Yu didn't give them any instructions, they wouldn't dare to be careless.

Lin Yu stood on top of the city wall and observed. It was only after a long while did he confirm. The rebel army outside the city really retreated, and did not play any tricks. This made Lin Yu heave a sigh of relief. However, he was also puzzled in his heart. Why would these rebels retreat at this time? Furthermore... And why did they retreat so decisively? What was the reason behind this?

One had to know that even though they had indeed gained the upper hand just now, however, they actually had a lot of pressure as well. On one side, there were rebels attacking the city. On the other hand, there were also bandits attacking the city. They did not have many defending troops in the city, and they were facing enemies from both sides. The pressure was quite great. Perhaps if these rebels persisted for a while longer, ... They would show signs of collapsing.

However, these rebel soldiers actually retreated at this time... This made Lin Yu somewhat puzzled. Of course, it could also be those rebel soldiers. They didn't notice the disadvantage of the city guards at all. They only saw that his attack was disadvantageous. This was the reason why they retreated.

Not long after, Lin Yu received the news from the city. Only then did he know why these rebels attacked the city and why they retreated.

Princess Qi and Lu Yizha were attacked one after another. Princess Qi was safe and sound, but Lu Yizha had disappeared.

After hearing the news, Lin Yu broke out in cold sweat. Only now did he understand. The rebels outside the city did not have siege weapons. The reason why they suddenly attacked the city was to attract their attention. Good! Let the infiltrators in the city carry out the assassination. Their plan was pretty normal. At least he had been fooled.

However, the rebels had also failed at the crucial moment. Princess Qi. It was fine. Although Lu Yizha had gone missing, he was still alive. The other party's opportunity had failed at the last moment. It could also be because of this reason. Knowing that the plan could no longer be carried out, the rebels retreated.

Lin Yu heaved a huge sigh of relief. It was good that Princess Qi and Lu Yizha were fine. Otherwise, he would be finished this time. The Emperor would definitely not let him go.

"Send someone to find the Fengjue Country First Prince immediately." Lin Yu ordered his personal guards.

The city was only this big. Both sides of the city were heavily guarded. There were also people attacking the city from the outside. Therefore, Lu Yizha couldn't leave the city. He must still be hiding in a corner of the city at this time.

After the personal guards left, Lin Yu frowned and said to himself, "What's going on with Princess Qi?"

Obviously, no one could answer this question. It was the person who had just come to report the news. It only said that all the guards outside Princess Qi's residence were killed. But Princess Qi herself was fine. palace maid who was beside her was also fine. On the other hand, there were many corpses of the murderer in their room.0

Obviously, after the killers in black killed the guards, they did not give Princess Qi any mercy. Instead, they wanted to kill her. However, they did not know who stopped them. Furthermore, many of those black-clothed men were killed because of this. Obviously... The person who killed them was also very strong.

However, who killed those men in black? Along the way, Princess Qi's safety had always been her responsibility. How many guards did she have by her side? Who did she need to guard? It had always been arranged by him. It could be said that... She knew very well what kind of people she had by her side. And this was also the most puzzling part, the people he arranged to protect her by her side. They had already been killed, so who was protecting them? It couldn't be Princess Qi who killed people herself.

After a while, Lin Yu suddenly thought, could it be the palace guards? After all, when he was in danger in Cangling Mountain, the Emperor was very angry. He was also very worried about Princess Qi's safety, so he sent more people to help him. At the same time, the Emperor would secretly send experts to Princess Qi's side. It was also not impossible.

As for those experts of the inner court, Lin Yu naturally knew of their existence. Furthermore, he also knew of their strength. It was very normal for him to save Princess Qi.

"In that case, His Majesty still doesn't trust me." Lin Yu thought with some displeasure in his heart.

The king sent an expert to protect Princess Qi, but he didn't tell him. He didn't even know about it. Of course, on the other hand... Luckily the Emperor had such arrangements, otherwise... This time, Princess Qi was really in danger. Look at that Lu Yizha. He had a follower to protect him. He was also an expert. She was even killed, and her whereabouts were unknown.

And since Princess Qi had an expert protecting her, then he didn't need to worry too much. Those people were much more powerful than the people he arranged.

Because of the retreat of Wang Cheng, Shi Dafu and the others, the pressure on the inner wall naturally decreased a lot. Lin Yu arranged for a portion of people to be on guard, and a portion to search for Lu Yizha. The rest of the people had gone to the other side of the wall to provide support. However... When they got there, they found out... So... The battle there had also changed. The mounted bandits outside the city no longer attacked the city. Instead, they started fighting with another group of people. This group of people was the army of Fengjue Country.

"This is really chaotic." Lin Yu looked at the chaotic battle outside and said.

At this time, those horse bandits had already fallen into a disadvantageous position. The army of the Fengjue Country was indeed powerful. No one knew who was commanding them. They had a sense of propriety and seemed to be in chaos, but they clearly arranged the horse bandits.
