In the evening, in the camp of the Black Armored Army.
Qin Qiong sat on the chief marshal's seat with a grave expression. He looked at the military report in his hand and frowned.
Under the tent sat the deputy general Wei Xiaojie and a group of generals.
At this moment, the generals in the tent were extremely depressed, and the entire tent fell into a gloomy mood.
Qin Qiong had survived hundreds of battles and was covered in injuries. The weather was cold, and his body was in constant pain, making his condition very bad.
"General, how is the situation in Chang 'an?”Wei Xiaojie saw Qin Qiong's frown and could not help but break the depressing atmosphere.
Qin Qiong sighed faintly and said,"The monarch worries and the subjects are humiliated. The monarch is humiliated and the subjects die." His Majesty has already negotiated peace with Jie Li and will soon sign an alliance at the Wei River Bridge. Such a treaty will bring shame to our Tang Empire. His Majesty…will have to endure such humiliation!! As generals, how can we face His Majesty…"
As he said this, the eyes of the ironclad Qin Qiong could not help but turn red.
All the generals lowered their proud heads, their faces filled with shame.
"General! Just give the order! Let's go back to Chang 'an to protect the emperor! Chang 'an is still in danger. How can the Black-armored Army hide here and watch?!”Wei Xiaojie's face was red as he stood up excitedly and tried to persuade him again.
"No! Don't you understand? His Majesty asked us to watch over Luo Yi here. Do you really think that it's just for us to defend against Luo Yi's 80,000 Heavenly Army? His Majesty wanted the black-armored army to intimidate Luo Yi and protect His Royal Highness!! You have to understand that our most important task now is to keep an eye on Luo Yi. We must not let anything happen to Luo Yi again. Moreover, we must always obtain news of the Imperial Eldest Prince. We must ensure the safety of the Imperial Eldest Prince at all costs!”Qin Qiong flatly refused.
The Black Armored Army was Li Shi Min's most elite cavalry force, and there were only ten thousand of them!
However, this group of black-armored cavalrymen, which only had about 10,000 people, had been invincible in the war for hegemony in the Central Plains and had made outstanding military achievements.
It could be said that this black armored cavalry was one of Li Shiming's greatest reliance!
However, when Chang 'an was in danger and Li Shiming was forced to personally lead the army, he never thought of letting Qin Qiong withdraw this army.
His goal was to use the prestige of the Black Armored Army to suppress Luo Yi and the Tianjie Army to ensure the safety of his beloved son, Li Chengqian!
"Report!" At this moment, a minor colonel suddenly rushed into the tent and reported with hurried breaths,"General! Something has happened to the Heaven Festival Army!"
"According to the scouts, there seems to be a mutiny in the camp of the Heavenly Festival Army at noon today. The camp is in chaos! Then, the news of Luo Yi being killed spread!”
" What?!" Wei Xiaojie and the other generals stood up almost at the same time,""Luo Yi is dead? What happened?"
Qin Qiong waved his hand at everyone and sat back down with a solemn expression."Is the news reliable? Do you know who killed Luo Yi?"
"The Tian Jie Army quickly sealed off the news, and scouts in black clothes and armor suddenly appeared around the barracks. These scouts moved like the wind and appeared and disappeared like ghosts. Our scouts tried to get close a few times but failed. However, the news that Luo Yi was killed should be true!”The small school reported.
Qin Qiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart grew. He turned to a general and asked,""How is the Prince of Zhongshan doing? Is there any news from Zhao Cihao?"
The general frowned and lowered his head to report,""There has been no news from Zhao Cihao for more than a day. Since the night before yesterday, we have been unable to contact Zhao Cihao. However, according to previous intelligence, His Highness the Zhongshan Prince seems to be very safe.”
" If Luo Yi hadn't gone crazy, he would never have attacked Your Highness. However, there's a mutiny within the Heaven Festival Army. I wonder who's in charge now. I wonder how Your Highness is doing…" Qin Qiong nodded lightly and fell into deep thought as he looked in the direction of the Heaven Festival Army.
"General, could it be that Zhao Cihao and the others succeeded?”Wei Xiaojie guessed.
"Impossible. Zhao Cihao can be our internal support, but I'm afraid it's impossible to rely on him. Moreover, if Zhao Cihao succeeded in the mutiny, he would naturally contact me immediately. How could he close the barracks and increase the number of scouts? He's obviously letting us go!" The more Qin Qiong thought about it, the more worried he became." The Tianjie Army is an elite that Luo Yi brought up. Luo Yi's prestige in the army is unparalleled. Who exactly has the ability to launch a mutiny and kill Luo Yi to seize power…"
He didn't care who was in charge of the Tianjie Army. What he cared about was Li Chengqian's safety!
If something happened to Li Chengqian, he, Qin Qiong, would not have the face to return to Chang 'an to see Li Shiming!
"Report! Urgent report!" Another major rushed in from outside the tent in a panic and reported loudly while panting,"General! Something bad happened! Just now, news came from the front line that the entire Tianjie Army had gathered. It seemed like they were taking an oath!”
" What?!"
