The sounds of hooves, battle cries, and screams... spread from East Street to West Street.
Dongfang Yaoe suddenly stood up, staring intently outside, and instinctively stepped out of the hall.
As a Martial Saint, she judged just from the sounds that soone was attacking the Patrol Camp.
But in the city, besides the Patrol Camp, there were also thirty thousand Iron Cavalry sent by Prince Ning, and especially, outside the city were stationed two hundred and fifty thousand Lai State Army, what kind of person could intrude into Dengtai City?
King Qin?
It shouldn't be, after all, the Observatory was also present, King Qin definitely wouldn't co personally.
Then it must be King Qin's subordinates?
So... could it be that King Qin has already pacified the South?
At this thought, Dongfang Yaoe couldn't help but get excited, but didn't dare to step out, what if the Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors weren't all dead yet?
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the main gate of the Prince Mansion was kicked open, and several Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors barged in directly.
Dongfang Yaoe looked at the long bamboo flutes they took out and her face changed imdiately.
But in the next second, the sword light swept past, directly slicing the Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors in half, taking their lives.
Under the glow of the fire outside, Lu Jin'an, wearing an Asura mask, walked in slowly.
Dongfang Yaoe stared dumbfounded at this person, and at this mont, she could also see the battle outside clearly.
The Iron Cavalry under Prince Ning's command in the city were actually charging back and forth, attacking the Patrol Camp within the city.
This is... what is happening?
Is Prince Ning saving ?
No, no... those cavalry can't control their horses at all!
What's going on?
Can warhorses disobey their masters' commands?
As this thought flitted through her mind, Dongfang Yaoe saw figures quickly joining the battlefield from the rooftop, and those outfits... were they Jinyi Guards?
Were they the batch of Jinyi Guards who betrayed Shengjing and King Qin?
Full of doubts, Dongfang Yaoe opened her mouth, but Lu Jin'an had already walked in front of her, grabbing her hair and dragging her into the hall.
"Ah... you..."
With a cry of pain, Dongfang Yaoe instinctively wanted to fight back, but Lu Jin'an casually tossed her onto the floor and stepped on her right hand, grinding it.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, cold sweat instantly beaded on Dongfang Yaoe's forehead, yet she was horrified to find her entire Martial Saint cultivation was being firmly suppressed, leaving her no strength to resist.
"I ask, you answer!"
Lu Jin'an then kicked Dongfang Yaoe in the stomach, and sat down on the throne self-assuredly: "I didn't tell you to stand up and speak."
Just about to stand up, Dongfang Yaoe hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "You, you ask."
"Did King Qin ever co to you?"
"Yes."
"What did he say?"
"He said that the Shengjing side will seize the Dragon Energy of the Royal Family, and Prince Ning knew about this news, he told to be wary, quite a few royal family mbers from the Eastern faction were invited by Prince Ning to Hechang City, their whereabouts unknown, I didn't go, so I temporarily escaped a disaster..."
Dongfang Yaoe swiftly recounted what she knew, then cautiously looked up at Lu Jin'an: "That's, that's all."
"Did King Qin ntion the Land of Prosperity to you?"
"No." Dongfang Yaoe shook her head.
Lu Jin'an didn't ask further, knowing from Dongfang Yaoe confird that Dongfang Xinglan was using Prince Ning to remove the Southwest Royal Family.
As initially guessed, Dongfang Xinglan was more ruthless than expected.
However, the Dragon Stealing even required chanting such a long spell, truly troubleso.
Moreover, even if Dongfang Xinglan let Prince Ning slaughter the southwest royal family, isn't he afraid that Prince Ning would plunder all the Dragon Energy of the royal family and leave none for her?
Or does Dongfang Xinglan have so backup plan?
If Dongfang Xinglan led the army disguised as Shengjing's to force the millions of Southwest Royal Families to surrender their Dragon Energy... it's not impossible.
Thinking of this possibility, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Lu Jin'an's mouth under the mask.
If such a simple and crude thod was really used, Dongfang Xinglan's decisiveness in handling this matter was quite to his taste.
With this thought, Lu Jin'an looked again at Dongfang Yaoe kneeling on the ground: "Do you want to survive?"
"I do!" Dongfang Yaoe imdiately said, "I really do!"
"That's perfect." Lu Jin'an leaned back in the chair: "Follow , and you can survive."
Before Dongfang Yaoe could respond, Lu Jin'an leisurely continued: "Don't even think about going to the Southwest, King Qin is not a good person, he gathered the Southwest Royal Family together waiting for soone else to kill them, so she can reap the benefits."
Dongfang Yaoe was stunned, no, how could King Qin be such a hypocritical, cunning person?
If he really were that kind of person, how could he have such high prestige among the people and in Jianghu?
Pretending?
Could soone pretend for so many years?
Dongfang Yaoe's expression gradually beca complex, slowly believing Lu Jin'an's words.
Yes, since King Qin has taken up arms, how could he not want to beco the Emperor?
Now, within the royal family, the capable princes are all vying for the elusive Dragon Energy, how could King Qin remain unmoved?
So, King Qin's drawing in the royal family is fake, borrowing the knife to kill is real!
Thinking of this, Dongfang Yaoe felt a chill arise in her heart, are all those ambitious people so ruthless and rciless?
"Have you decided?" Lu Jin'an spoke again to ask.
"I... am willing."
"Very good." Lu Jin'an stood up and took a step forward: "Your first task, to command the Lai State troops, can you do it?"
"This..."
"I will send soone to impersonate an Observatory inspector to assist you, in this way, who would disbelieve?"
"I understand." Dongfang Yaoe's eyes flickered and she nodded, if she could command the Lai State troops, she would have a ans of self-preservation.
"Good." Lu Jin'an stood still in front of Dongfang Yaoe, directly prying her mouth open to force a Dan Pill inside: "Behave, and the antidote will naturally be given to you after."
