Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“The brothers of the Eighteen Riders are not always in the capital. Half of us are busy in various places. This time, only Lei Xiao and I accompanied the prince. However, Lei Xiao went to Xishan with the prince. At this time, I am the only one left to guard Hengxian City.”

Lei Ting's heart clenched in shock at Chu Yue Li's words.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand the whole story.

No wonder the prince left him here; he probably already understood this when he rushed to Xishan.

The so-called rebels not only wanted to kill the prince in Xishan, but also wanted to cause trouble in Hengxian!

"Even if they capture Hengxian City, they won't be able to hold it once reinforcements from the surrounding cities arrive. Taking Hengxian City will be of no use to them."

This is also why there are so few soldiers guarding Hengxian.

Chu Yueli pursed her lips, her gaze gradually turning icy: "In their plan, there are only two possible outcomes for Bei Mo coming here. One, he will be killed in the stone forest."

"Secondly, if we cannot kill the King of the Northern Frontier, then we should kill the people in the city. Even if Prince Mo returns, many people in Heng County will have already been slaughtered. This is all because Prince Mo failed to defend the city. His lifelong reputation will be ruined in an instant, and no one will be willing to submit to the King of the Northern Frontier."

"They want to massacre the city?" Thunder's breathing became erratic.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth in anger, and roared, "These damned thieves! How cruel they are!"

However, this is indeed the best way to deal with the King of the Northern Frontier.

At this time, Prince Jin's reputation was greatly damaged, while Prince Mo's reputation soared because he recovered the northern border. With one rising and the other falling, Prince Mo's chances of becoming the crown prince in the future greatly increased.

This matter cannot be said to be necessarily related to Prince Jin, but it is definitely related to people who have a political stance against Prince Mo!

"If the person behind this is truly a member of the Dongling royal family, how could he order the massacre of the city without feeling any remorse?" If such a person were to become the crown prince or emperor in the future, it would be an absolute disaster for Dongling.

"At this time, we do not have the time or energy to figure out who is behind all this. Although King Mo also thought of this, he was ordered to suppress the bandits and had to go to Xishan in person."

Being trapped in Xishan for a time was probably something Lu Beimo hadn't expected.

This stone forest is indeed too strange. If Chu Yueli hadn't learned the Qimen Bagua formation from Mu Qinian, she wouldn't have been able to easily bring Lu Fengjin out last time.

Although Lu Beimo is powerful and his martial arts skills are beyond what most people can imagine, the wonder of the Qimen Bagua Formation is that no matter how powerful you are, if you don't understand it, you can't get out.

"Do you still have any skilled commanders in your army?"

"Does it have to be a master?" Lei Ting didn't know how skilled a master was. In his opinion, although the soldiers were all powerful, they were not masters in the traditional sense.

Chu Yueli could tell from his expression that although the army was full of elite soldiers, it lacked a leader.

No one is available.

But she was simply too busy to handle everything on her own.

“Young lady, then I now…”

"Order all soldiers to retreat to Hengxian City."

...Lei Ting respected Chu Yueli as much as he respected Prince Mo.

This sincerity surprised even Chu Yueli.

But it's clear that Lu Beimo truly cares about her.

Only if Lu Beimo trusts her will his brothers truly treat her as family.

Tonight, there will surely be chaos in Hengxian City. She cannot extricate herself, but she does not know what is happening to Lu Beimo, who is far away in Xishan Stone Forest.

Chu Yue Li had been asleep when, as night fell, Lei Ting rushed over: "Miss, something has happened!"
