C2477 The Show Is over
The battle outside the pass was intense and chaotic, however, overall, the Fengjue Country still had the upper hand. Although they did not have the help of the defending troops inside the pass, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. However, Mo Lei's reputation as the War God wasn't just for show. He really had the strength to command the troops to advance and retreat. They were originally at a disadvantage, but they were slowly gaining the upper hand.
As for the allied forces of the other countries outside of the pass, at this time, they already knew that the people who infiltrated the city... The assassination had failed, and they were also worried that... Once they got entangled with the people of the Fengjue Country, the defending troops would... It was very likely that they would charge out and attack them from behind.
Therefore, the people of the allied forces were the same as those from the Rebellion Force in the pass. At this moment, they chose to retreat, not wanting to continue fighting the people of the Fengjue Country. Even if they wanted to fight, they had to find another place to fight.
"The fun is over." Standing high up in the sky, Huang Feng could clearly see that there were already people retreating from the battle below. Obviously, the sudden outbreak of the battle was coming to an end.
Lin Yu and the others who were standing on top of the city wall also saw the situation. Their expressions relaxed. After all, this battle was happening right under their noses. If the Fengjue Country couldn't handle it, their side would be in danger as well. Now, it seemed like the Fengjue Country was the better one.
Just like that, these two sudden battles... It ended in a sudden manner, and the entire pass gradually regained its peace. At this moment, the merchants who were temporarily staying in the pass... If this pass was broken... Then, these people would definitely not end well. Whether it was the allied forces outside the pass or the people of Rebellion Force inside the pass... They would never let go of these fat sheep.
Fortunately, everything was over and it was just a false alarm.
After the enemies outside the city had retreated, Lin Yu returned to the city. He wanted to see Princess Qi and Lu Yizha's situation.
Lu Yizha had yet to find him, but Princess Qi still lived in the same place.
"General Lin, please go back. Her Highness the Princess has already rested." When Lin Yu arrived at Princess Qi's residence, he was rejected by the door. Xiao Huan, who was guarding there, immediately blocked him outside. She did not want him to see Princess Qi.
"Is Her Highness the Princess alright?" Lin Yu asked.
"Thank you for your concern, General Lin. Her Highness the Princess was not injured. She was just a little frightened, so she rested early." Xiao Huan said.
Princess Qi and Xiao Huan did not have any good impression of this Lin Yu. Previously on the road, Lu Yizha wanted to bully Princess Qi. This Lin Yu clearly knew about this matter, and he also had the ability to stop it. However, he did not care. Regarding this... Princess Qi and Xiao Huan hated Lin Yu to the core and did not like him at all.
"It's good that you are not injured. Since Her Highness the Princess has already rested. Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back tomorrow." Lin Yu said.
Initially, Lin Yu came here to see Princess Qi's condition. Although his subordinate had already reported that Princess Qi was fine. However... After all, Princess Qi was also related to Lin Yu's safety. Therefore... He was worried and wanted to take a look.
On the other hand, Lin Yu was also worried about the experts of the inner circle who were secretly protecting Princess Qi. He was very curious and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. He wanted to meet those people. One should know that those people were absolutely trustworthy people of the Emperor. Moreover, they were all capable people who knew such people. Making friends with them would be very beneficial to his future.
However, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to see them tonight. Lin Yu felt a little regretful in his heart. Actually, he also knew that... Princess Qi did not like him because of his previous actions. Lin Yu understood this point. Now, he was also making up for Princess Qi's impression of him. Although after Princess Qi married into the Fengjue Country, she basically would not have any connections with the country anymore. However, Lin Yu was also afraid that she would write a letter to the Emperor. Although reporting him wouldn't cause him to die, but... It would definitely bring him more trouble, and Lin Yu didn't want to see those troubles.
After saying that, Lin Yu left with his men. Princess Qi had been shut out of the door, and he still wanted to look for Lu Yizha. This was also a problem. Along the way, he had been constantly encountering troubles. It had made Lin Yu regret taking the initiative to volunteer and accept this mission. It seemed like this mission didn't bring him any credit. In fact, it was because of the previous war in Cangling Mountain. He had even lost some of his reputation points in front of the Emperor. This was not worth it.
Now, Lin Yu only hoped that Wang Cheng's mission would be successful. He wanted to ensure that Princess Qi and Lu Yizha could safely reach the Fengjue Country.
This pass was not very big. After Lin Yu sent out a large number of people to search for Lu Yizha, not long after, Lu Yizha was found. At this moment... There were only a few people lurking around Lu Yizha. The rest of them were already dead, but the people sent by the allied forces of the surrounding countries... They either died in the battle or found out that something was wrong. They found a place to hide, and now the entire pass is on alert. Especially at the city gate, so those people wanted to escape. It was also very difficult.
Lin Yu could immediately tell who were following Lu Yizha. After all, there weren't many of them. Lin Yu had some impression of them, but these people were obviously not. Then these people who had suddenly appeared should have snuck in from the outside.
However, Lin Yu didn't point this out. After all, these people had indirectly helped him. If something happened to Lu Yizha, he would definitely suffer. After all, it was his carelessness that had put Lu Yizha in danger. Now that Lu Yizha had escaped from danger, Lin Yu still had to thank these people.
Lu Yizha didn't give Lin Yu a good look. After all, he had already advised Lin Yu not to come in and stay. Furthermore, it was Lin Yu who transferred all the guards around his residence. This gave the assassins a chance. Therefore, the reason why he was in danger tonight... It was all because of Lin Yu, and now, his men were already outside the city. There was no need to worry about Lin Yu's expression.
"I want to leave the city." Lu Yizha said after seeing Lin Yu.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Why don't we leave the city tomorrow morning?" Lin Yu said.
"No, I have to leave the city now. I don't want to stay here any longer." Lu Yizha insisted.
In Lu Yizha's heart, it was still better to leave the city. It was safer to stay in Mo Lei's military camp. If he stayed in the city, there was the risk of being killed at any time. After all, those assassins had not been found yet. Who knew if they would come to assassinate him again?
Lu Yizha had lost confidence in the army of Great Lu Dynasty. Therefore, he felt that it was safer to leave the city and stay in Mo Lei's camp.
"His Royal Highness the First Prince, the enemies outside have just retreated. There might be some people who haven't left yet and are hiding nearby. I'm afraid it's not safe to leave the city at this time." Lin Yu said.
"No matter how safe it is, it will still be safer than the city." Lu Yizha said, "Those people who tried to assassinate me are still on the run. Can you guarantee that they won't try to assassinate me again?"
"I have already sent people to search for them. I will definitely find them." Lin Yu said, "Also, I will send guards around your residence to ensure your safety."0
"No need. I do not trust your Great Lu Dynasty army." Lu Yizha refused.
If Mo Lei's army hadn't arrived yet... Then... Lu Yizha could only choose to stay in the city. But... Now that Mo Lei's army had arrived, he didn't want to stay here for even a second. After all, in his heart, the people of the Great Lu Dynasty army who had lost to him... They were just like trash, wanting to hand over their lives to those people. He was worried.
Therefore, even if it was late at night, even if he knew that it wasn't safe outside the pass, Lu Yizha still insisted on leaving.
Seeing that Lu Yizha insisted on leaving, Lin Yu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
In fact, Lin Yu did not want Lu Yizha to leave, at least not now. Because, Lu Yizha must have had something against him when he was assassinated again. Those who had problems with the Great Lu Dynasty, under such circumstances... He didn't even have the chance to make amends for Lu Yizha's departure. Therefore, he wanted to keep Lu Yizha here. After that... He wanted to make up for his previous mistakes and restore the impression that ___ had of him. Otherwise, he would have tried his best to build a good relationship with him on the way here. Wouldn't it have been in vain?
However, it was obvious that Lu Yizha wasn't willing to stay here any longer. He wasn't willing to give Lin Yu any more time, and Lin Yu couldn't force him to stay. Therefore, he could only agree in the end.
"Oh right, how is Princess Qi?" Lu Yizha only remembered his fiancée when he saw Lin Yu agree to his request.
"Princess Qi is not in danger and was not injured before. Your Highness, please rest assured. The princess is now resting." Lin Yu said.
Lu Yizha was slightly surprised when he heard that Princess Qi was not injured. Could it be that those people had only tried to assassinate him and not Princess Qi? Otherwise, how could Princess Qi, who had no guards, not be injured?
However, Lu Yizha did not ask in detail. It was good that Princess Qi was fine. He also could not bear to see such a beauty. Previously, he felt pity for her. Now that she was fine, it was naturally for the best.
