After returning to Prince Xia's Mansion, Li Yunjie asked someone to carry him to the study in a sedan chair.
Prince Xia just came back from the military camp.
Seeing that his son, who was supposed to lead the army out of the city, appeared in the study again, he immediately stood up and said, "Jie'er, why are you back? What happened?"
Li Yunjie said with a gloomy face: "Father, as soon as we left the city, we were stopped by Dingbeihou's army. They said they came here on Li Yunze's order."
King Xia stared at him and asked in disbelief: "What, the Marquis of Dingbei actually defected to Li Yunze?"
"Not only did they surrender to Li Yunze, but they also sent troops to warn us, saying that as long as we dare to send troops to Yuncheng, the Shen family army will obey Li Yunze's orders and be incompatible with us."
After hearing this naked threat, King Xia was extremely angry.
"It's really arrogant. Li Yunze, a yellow-haired kid with no hair at all, was driven out of the capital in despair by King Pingnan and Queen Mother Qiao a few years ago. He was completely disgraced.
Now that he has climbed up to the Marquis of Dingbei, he is beginning to be self-righteous again. Does he think that this world is still his? "
Li Yunjie shook his head, disapproving of what his father said.
He did not underestimate that Li Yunze could command the loyalty of someone like Dingbei Hou. Li Yunze was by no means as useless as his father said.
He thought for a moment and said, "Father, let's wait and see what the situation is."
King Xia is not stupid, and what he said just now was also angry.
He nodded in agreement, "Our military strength cannot compete with the Marquis of Dingbei and the King of Liang. Now is really not a good time to take action. Let them fight first, and we will pick up what is ready in the future."
Li Yunjie didn't express his opinion this time. Although he didn't agree with his father's idea of taking advantage, he had no better way now.
At this time, Li Yunze and Ye Yutong were already approaching Yuncheng with their army.
People from Uncle Lin's branch came to report that King Liang and King Nan's team arrived in Yuncheng only one day later than them.
Then they must capture Yuncheng before these two teams arrive.
The sun had already set. Li Yunze ordered everyone to rest where they were, and then said to Li Chaoyang and Mantang:
"After dinner, let everyone get some rest. This battle tonight may not be as easy as before."
The two men immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
After Li Yunze made arrangements here, he went to find Mr. Bai and the others.
Ye Yutong took a pack of purple Ganoderma lucidum to the cooking area.
Tonight, I will give all the soldiers some Ganoderma lucidum and egg water to replenish their physical strength.
Mr. Bai, Ye Mingxuan and Lin Zhong were sitting in the tent, looking at the map of Yuncheng on the table and discussing something.
The Lin family has two branches in Yuncheng. Lin Zhong knows all the major families here very well. He is now telling a few people about the situation in the city.
"Yuncheng is different from other cities. It is an important transportation hub of Yunchao Kingdom, and all major families have business here.
Moreover, various gangs, escort agencies, and traveling people also like to stay here.
All three religions and nine streams have contact points here, and it can be described as a mixed bag.
Those people definitely don't want anyone to change the current situation in Yuncheng. So our attack on the city will definitely be even more difficult this time.
In addition, the soldiers and horses sent by King Liang and the imperial court will arrive soon. We must capture Yuncheng within one day, and we must also frighten the people inside. "
Seeing that both of them were silent, he told them the news he had just received.
"There is also bad news. His Highness originally asked Mingxuan and I to bring some people in first, but our people came over just now and said that Yuncheng has been very strict in the past two days, so this plan may not be implemented."
Ye Mingxuan touched the sword on his waist and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Lin, since the investigation is strict, let's not go through the city gate and enter through the city wall later."
Lin Zhonggang shook his head and said: "There are many garrison troops on the city wall. It may not be easy to enter the city without alerting the enemy."
At this time, Li Yunze came over and said, "Uncle Lin, brother, you two don't want to go. After dinner, Tongtong and I will go in first to check on the situation."
Lin Zhong said seriously: "No, Your Highness, you and your wife can't go. I'll think of a way to see if I can bring a few experts to sneak in, and I'll be there to support you when the time comes."
Li Yunze smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Lin, Yuncheng is not like other cities, there are more than 10,000 garrison troops here.
Moreover, they knew that I was about to attack, and martial law had already been enforced inside. Tongtong and I were better at martial arts, so it would not be easy to alert others.
You, my eldest brother, and Mr. Bai will lead the team and wait outside the city. When the time comes, we will find a way to open the city gate and meet you inside. "
Ye Mingxuan knew his brother-in-law's abilities and that his sister was protected by gods, so he wasn't too worried about their safety.
But Lin Zhong was different. Although he knew that His Highness was good at martial arts, there was no shortage of masters in Yuncheng.
If someone discovers it, it will be too late to regret it.
But he had no choice but to obey His Highness's orders, and he was a little helpless.
But I was thinking in my heart, it would be great if the young master was here, His Highness should listen to a few words he said.
Li Yunze smiled and comforted him, "Uncle Lin, it's okay. Don't you know what Tongtong and I are capable of?"
Lin Zhong sighed and warned worriedly, "Your Highness and Madam must be careful, nothing will happen to you two."
Ye Yutong handed the package of purple Ganoderma lucidum to the manager of the kitchen, and went to Yuncheng with Li Yunze.
When the two of them arrived outside the city, it was completely dark and the city gate was closed.
Ye Yutong put the horse in the space, and the two of them used Qinggong to enter the city.
They were so fast that the garrison on the city wall didn't notice at all, and the two entered the city.
