You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

The curtain fell, the sky became increasingly gloomy, and large flakes of snow fell like a veil, covering the entire world.

As time passed, the snow piled up thicker and thicker, and it seemed that only pure white was left between heaven and earth.

Changqing kept his eyes on the wall. He changed his nightgown into white and his head was wrapped tightly with white cloth.

At this time, fireworks rose from the rebel army in the distance and bloomed in the night sky. The people on the city wall were also attracted and did not notice the white figure below the city that was almost melted into the snow. Every brick and every crack in the stone became a fulcrum for him to climb.

His hands were attached to the wall like suction cups, and his feet stepped lightly on the protruding bricks, climbing up quickly like a nimble gecko.

Chang Qing relied on his agility and high martial arts skills to successfully climb over the city wall. Everyone's attention was still attracted by the fireworks, and they did not notice that a flash of white appeared and disappeared, avoiding the soldiers guarding the city wall.

He sneaked into the city quietly and began his action.

Chang Qing moved nimbly through the city, his figure jumping under the dim street lights like a clever owl. Chang Qing was always alert, paying attention to the movements around him, not daring to be careless.

Because he knew that once discovered, he would be surrounded and would find it difficult to escape.

He bypassed a group of patrolling soldiers and passed by as lightly as the wind, leaving no trace.

Chang Qing sneaked all the way and finally arrived at his destination - the palace. Chang Qing carefully observed the surrounding environment, and after confirming that it was safe, he took out a firework from his arms and set it off.

Then he hid in the snow and lay in wait.

Not long after, Changqing saw a man jumping out of the wall and landing nearby, looking for something. Changqing took a closer look and found that he recognized the man. It was Master Lin whose hand he had cut off.

After thinking about it, I figured it out. It must be that after that battle, Yu Qingxi used some method to develop Master Lin into his own person.

Changqing showed up from a distance, but did not take off his mask.

Grandmaster Lin also heard the noise and turned to look over with a look of vigilance in his eyes. After all, as a great martial arts master, he had not noticed that there was a person hiding not far away. He was a little frightened, but he still calmed down and asked, "Ye Zhong?"

Chang Qing had already received the secret signal from Yu Qingxi, and responded hoarsely: "Passenger ship!"

Grandmaster Lin relaxed his aura and said, "You are so good! I didn't even notice you were nearby!"

Chang Qing's voice was still hoarse as he said: "Thank you for the compliment. Time is urgent, so let's talk about the business first."

Master Lin nodded.

Changqing continued:

"The princess hopes that you can get all the great martial emperor priests in the palace drunk and knocked out tomorrow night, and then lead the nearly one thousand soldiers who have sneaked into the imperial city to control the west gate at noon tomorrow night. After the gate is opened, your mission will be accomplished. As long as the army enters the city, the overall situation will be decided, and your glory will come!"

Master Lin nodded and bowed, saying, "Please tell the princess that I will definitely fulfill my mission." After saying that, he was about to leave.

At this time, Changqing suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, is there any news in recent days?"

Grandmaster Lin turned around and smiled, "Your Majesty stayed in the bedroom the whole time, and even when the army surrounded the city, he didn't say anything."

It was dark at night, and Chang Qing did not notice that the smile on Master Lin's lips was a little stiff.

"I see. That's good for us. We'll wait for your good news."

Although Chang Qing was puzzled by His Majesty's behavior, now was not the time to find out the truth. He bowed to Grandmaster Lin, and disappeared into the distance. Soon he disappeared in the vast sea of ​​snow.

Master Lin looked at Changqing's back and smiled strangely.

The fireworks had just ended and the guards on the city wall resumed their patrols. Chang Qing burned a pile of grain inside the city wall and left quickly. Soon the soldiers guarding the city noticed it and many patrolmen also came to put out the fire.

Suddenly, there were fewer people on the city wall, which gave Changqing an opportunity. Taking advantage of the shortage of troops, he climbed down the city wall and disappeared into the snowy night.

The people putting out the fire thought that it was a firework that happened to fall there and ignited the haystack, so they didn't pay any attention to it.

Back at the rebels' camp, everyone looked anxious and uneasy.

However, when Changqing's figure appeared at the entrance of the tent, the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief.

The plan is going exceptionally smoothly, everything is progressing according to the planned track, and all that will be finalized is the action tomorrow night.

Early the next morning, in order to conceal his true intentions, Yu Qingxi carefully planned a bluffing offensive.

She sent several Wuzong soldiers to challenge the enemy, but the defenders remained unmoved and did not give any response.

Afterwards, she pretended to attack the city, but was easily repelled by the defenders. All this was to let the defenders relax their vigilance and pave the way for the upcoming action.

As night fell, the entire army was fully prepared and waiting for the signal to act.

Nearing midnight, there were suddenly fierce shouts and the clinking of weapons from the top of the city, accompanied by the screams of soldiers.

However, this chaos did not last long and soon calmed down.

A flaming arrow shot out from the top of the city, breaking the tranquility of the night sky. It was the agreed signal.

Yu Qingxi jumped on his horse and led everyone to rush towards the city gate. When they arrived at the city gate, they were surprised to find that the gate had been opened a gap that was big enough for two horses to pass through.

Yu Qingxi's face was filled with joy, as if she had seen the dawn of victory. She led everyone on horseback, her heart full of anticipation and excitement.

However, just as they were about to enter the imperial city completely, an accident suddenly occurred.

Suddenly, an order was heard from all around: "Attack!" Immediately, a torrential rain of arrows came.

Chang Qing reacted quickly, pulling out the wooden sword behind him to block Yu Qingxi's horse, and Wang Gang also used the dragon-headed sword to block the arrows. However, a large number of arrows were still shot at the soldiers in the rear, and screams came one after another. Nearly a hundred people who came in could not dodge and were hit by arrows one after another. Blood flowed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The gate made of fine iron slammed shut under the action of a mechanism, blocking the army out.

The sound of arrows being fired was heard again from the city wall, and for a moment, the rebels were in a desperate situation.

In the end, there were only twenty people left. The smiles of Yu Qingxi and everyone else disappeared completely. They finally realized that they had been betrayed, and they instantly knew who had betrayed them.

After all, the one who betrayed them could not be anyone else but Grandmaster Lin!

The surrounding passages were soon surrounded by teams of fully armed soldiers.

Princess Yu Qingxi looked at these people helplessly, her heart filled with sadness and anger.

Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded in the darkness: "Princess, now that you are trapped in a jar, why don't you surrender?"

A figure dressed in black walked out from the shadows. It was Master Lin.

"Why did you betray me?" the eldest princess asked angrily.

Master Lin sneered and replied, "I didn't betray you. I just pursued greater power. I chose to cooperate with you because I felt that you could give me more resources and let me reach the pinnacle of the Great Martial Sect."

Master Lin paused, as if he had thought of something, showing a hint of fear and a hint of desire:

"But now, I have seen the ultimate of martial arts, so I must make a choice. After you fail, I will get more!"

Yu Qingxi's face turned pale, she knew she could no longer escape.

She looked up at the soldiers around her and asked again, "Where are the nearly 1,000 soldiers I have hidden in the Imperial City?"

Grandmaster Lin smiled cruelly and said slowly, "The whole army was wiped out. There were a few stubborn people among them who led their team and refused to surrender. There was no other way. In order not to alarm you, I and the five grandmasters worked together to eliminate those hidden dangers."

When Yu Qingxi heard the news, his dark face turned pale in an instant.

Her eyes were red and her heart was filled with regret and self-blame.

It was because I couldn't distinguish beans from wheat that so many soldiers died.

An extremely depressing feeling erupted in his heart, causing Yu Qingxi's eyes to turn red and his breathing to become rapid.
