A trace of doubt flashed in Bai Yi's eyes. He looked at the man in black and said in a deep voice:
"Who are you? Why would the Empress of Chu help us?"
The man in black smiled slightly and said:
"I am the bodyguard of the Empress of Chu. As long as I take Su Ye's head, I will be rewarded with a lot of treasures."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in Qinglong Mountain was surprised.
Bai Yi hesitated: "Why did the Empress of Chu choose us?"
The man in black smiled mysteriously: "Because Su Ye's next target must be Qinglong Mountain, you have no choice."
Bai Yi's eyes flickered, and he understood that this might be their only chance of survival in Qinglong Mountain.
Seeing that Bai Yi was still hesitant, the man in black added fuel to the fire and said:
"When I came here this time, I also brought a squad of elite soldiers from Chu State."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
Immediately, dozens of elite soldiers came out of the darkness, their armors were clanking and their aura was fierce.
A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Yi's eyes. He knew how powerful Chu's elite soldiers were.
If they can get their help, Qinglong Mountain will indeed have the capital to fight Su Ye.
He looked at everyone in the conference room and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, now that we are facing a life-and-death situation, should we choose to surrender or give it a try?"
Everyone gritted their teeth and looked firmly:
"Master, we are willing to work with you to resist Su Ye and live and die together!"
Bai Yi's eyes flashed with relief.
He knew that at this time, Qinglong Mountain was no longer fighting alone.
Bai Yi took a deep breath. He knew that this decision was related to the fate of Qinglong Mountain, so he said decisively:
"Okay, we at Qinglong Mountain are willing to join forces with the Empress of Chu to fight against Su Ye."
When the man in black heard this, he immediately showed a satisfied smile:
"Chief Bai Yi is indeed a wise man."
Later, Bai Yi and the man in black discussed tactics and strategies, and the division of labor was clear.
The plan was to preemptively attack Su Ye's base camp Jubeicheng before Su Ye attacked Qinglong Mountain.
There are many disciples in Qinglong Mountain, and with the help of the elite soldiers of Chu State, their strength has greatly increased.
For a time, morale was high, and everyone expressed their willingness to fight for the survival of Qinglong Mountain.
As night falls, the moonlight shines on the top of Qinglong Mountain, and the leader's tent on the top of the mountain is brightly lit.
A hidden shadow on the roof has already heard all the discussions between Qinglong Mountain and the Chu Kingdom Guards.
It is the omnipresent Jin Yiwei!
He left quietly, took the information he obtained back to Jubeicheng, and reported it to Su Ye.
In the tent, Bai Yi and the man in black have made a decision.
Bai Yi's eyes were as bright as fire and his expression was serious as he prepared to go down the mountain to attack Jubei City.
Everyone in Qinglong Mountain was ready to go, and their morale was high.
Bai Yi took the lead and led everyone down the mountain secretly.
According to the plan, the troops were divided into several groups and marched towards Jubei City.
The elite soldiers of Chu State are well-trained and agile in action. They fight side by side with the disciples of Qinglong Mountain, and they cooperate with each other tacitly.
As the night grew darker, a group of people approached Jubei City quietly.
"Get ready to attack!" Bai Yi shouted, and everyone took action immediately.
For a moment, the shouts of killing outside Jubei City shook the sky, and flames shot into the sky.
The people of Qinglong Mountain and the elite soldiers of Chu State were like wolves and tigers.
Shouting loudly:
"Su Ye, come out and die!"
Su Ye, however, was dressed in white clothes and standing on the city wall.
His eyes were bright and his expression was cold.
Looking at the gangs arrayed outside Jubei City, it was as if they were watching a drama that had nothing to do with them.
There was only one thought in my mind: Sure enough, it’s here!
Mo Yi couldn't stand such arrogant gangsters and said angrily:
"Sir, please let me rush down and kill Bai Yi for you!"
Su Ye shook his head and said calmly:
"It's just a ragtag group. Your mission is to continue training."
Although Mo Yi was unwilling, he still followed Su Ye's order, clenching his fists and spitting fire from his eyes.
Under the city wall, Bai Yi led everyone to yell and curse, but what awaited them was the closed city gate and Su Ye's indifference.
For several days, the angry and shouting Qinglongshan gang under the city wall gradually became fainter.
"This coward doesn't even dare to challenge!"
"Brother, it's better to attack the city directly and avoid being so angry!"
Bai Yi himself was a little shaken, hesitating whether to change his strategy.
On Jubei City, Su Ye was dressed in white and looked calm and relaxed, as if everything was under his control.
He looked at the people in Qinglong Mountain below the city and saw the changes in their morale.
In Jubei City, the soldiers who had been training for many days were already fighting with high spirits as they listened to the yelling outside the city.
He was gearing up and wanted to rush out immediately to compete with him.
Su Ye keenly realized that the time had come!
It's now.
"Fight!"
Su Ye gave an order.
On the city wall, rows of sharp arrows shot down like raindrops.
Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, the people in Qinglong Mountain below the city were instantly enveloped.
Catapults continued to throw rolling stones, torches and hammers at the city.
For a moment, Jubei City felt like purgatory on earth.
Arrows rained like locusts, and stones rained like rain, making it difficult for everyone to resist.
Everyone in Qinglong Mountain below the city was stunned when they saw this. They didn't expect that Su Ye actually dared to fight.
"Hide the arrows!" Bai Yi shouted, and everyone looked for cover to avoid the arrows.
Everyone in Qinglong Mountain fled from the rain of arrows and panicked.
However, this rain of arrows was not an attack, but was creating opportunities for them.
While everyone in Qinglong Mountain was hiding, Jubei City Gate slowly opened.
The soldiers came out like a tide, with momentum like a rainbow.
A trace of panic flashed in Bai Yi's eyes, but he knew that there was no way out at this time and he could only bite the bullet.
"Brothers, work hard at one go, then fall again, and then you will be exhausted! Today we swear to fight Su Ye to the death!"
Bai Yi waved the long knife in his hand and shouted passionately.
When everyone in Qinglong Mountain heard this, their morale was boosted, and they all shouted:
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
For a moment, in front of the two armies, there were loud shouts of killing, drums beating, swords flashing, and blood flowing like rivers.
Bolstered by the anger accumulated over the past few days, the mighty Jubeicheng soldiers were invincible.
It was like a flood that was ravaging everyone in Qinglong Mountain.
Although Chu's elite soldiers were brave, they were unable to withstand Su Ye's tactical layout.
The soldiers of Jubeicheng descended the mountain like tigers, and their attack was so fierce that everyone in Qinglong Mountain was exhausted to deal with it.
Bai Yi no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning.
His face was filled with anxiety, and he felt increasingly worried as he looked at the disciples who kept retreating.
Under the command of Su Ye, the Jubeicheng soldiers were like precision machines, and their offensive became more and more fierce.
Although everyone in Qinglong Mountain resisted bravely, it was still difficult to reverse the defeat.
Finally, at the most intense moment of the battle, the Qinglong Mountain side gradually became exhausted and began to retreat steadily.
Bai Yi was seriously injured, but still insisted on fighting, watching the Jubeicheng soldiers approaching step by step.
At this moment, the guard of the Empress of Chu revealed her true face.
He shuttled through the battlefield and broke through the siege.
All situations on the battlefield have nothing to do with him. He has only one goal——
Assassinate Su Ye!
