Only 100,000 soldiers and Commander Wang Jian were left in Northern Border City.
Apart from them, there were Ying Zheng, Hua Mulan, Kai, Baili Shouyue, Baiqi, and their personal guards.
It was getting late, and the sun was dim. However, in the middle of Ying Zheng's army, there were bonfires, and everyone was laughing and talking.
Those who had not experienced it would not know the feeling of surviving a disaster after a great battle.
Xuan Yong sat by the bonfire to warm himself, while Hua Mulan, Baiqi, and the others protected him.
"Your Majesty, could the Great Tang Empress be the woman from the Ganye Temple?”
Baiqi had been following Ying Zheng since a long time ago, so he still remembered the incident at Ganye Temple clearly.
The blazing flame emitted a flickering light, shining on Ying Zheng's resolute and angular face.
"It's her."
Ying Zheng chuckled and got up to return to the tent.
Baili Shouyue, Kai, and Hua Mulan were shocked.
Xuanyong and the Great Tang, the two most powerful countries, the two insufferably arrogant emperors, had known each other for a long time!
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty is an old friend of the Great Tang's Empress.”
"Right, no wonder the Great Tang sent troops to help and cut off the Xiongnu's rations.”
"It should be because His Majesty and the empress have a deep relationship.”
Hua Mulan, Kai, and Baili Shouyue were all talking to each other.
"Shouyue, what makes you so sure?”
Kai asked.
"Think about it, I, Xuan Yong, am like the sun in the middle of the sky, and I even show signs of surpassing the Great Tang.”
"The Empress of the Great Tang is a wise and mighty person. How could she not see that our war with the Xiongnu is a great opportunity to weaken the interests of the Xuan Yong Kingdom?”
"But in this situation, not only did the Great Tang not add insult to injury, it even sent reinforcements. What does this mean?”
Baili Shouyue kept everyone guessing.
Everyone thought about it carefully and it was indeed the case, but they could not answer for a moment.
"Aiya, can't you guys figure it out? I'm guessing that the Great Tang's empress probably likes our Emperor.”
Baili Shouyue said with a smile, but he was immediately stopped by Hua Mulan.
"Baili Shouyue, don't spout nonsense. We can actually discuss His Majesty's past.”
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the military camp.
"Who are you?"
When Hua Mulan heard this, she frowned. This was the voice of the Rui Lin Army.
" Protect His Majesty! There's an assassin!"
Hua Mulan shouted, and everyone got up in a hurry. They surrounded the tent and vigilantly observed the surroundings.
Hua Mulan, Kai, Baili Shouyue, and Baiqi's personal guards also surrounded them.
For a moment, the situation was tense and oppressive. The originally peaceful and happy bonfire was filled with killing intent!
"Which rat is hiding!"
Hua Mulan was at the forefront, holding her swords tightly in her hands.
"Be careful behind you!"
Hua Mulan shouted. Although she couldn't see the killer hiding in the dark, she, who had been through many battles, had an instinct for danger.
The sharpest spearhead that sensed the killing intent was pointed at the back of the central tent.
"Let's see who will die!"
Bai Qi's figure flashed as he brandished the blood-red sickle in his hand and stood guard behind the main tent, his face filled with anger.
Ying Zheng sat firmly in the tent. Although he heard the commotion outside, he was very calm inside. He was reading the book in his hand.
After a while, the killing intent in the air gradually faded away, but no one dared to let their guard down.
"Not bad, these people in front of Ying Zheng are quite alert.”
The figure in the dark did not go far. He sneered and hid behind a nearby boulder, waiting for an opportunity to move.
As time passed, Hua Mulan and the others were still paying full attention to their surroundings.
"Humph!"
Suddenly, Ah Ke, who was guarding the side of the tent, let out a cold snort. Her figure turned into a flash of light, and the short blade in her hand stabbed toward the empty space in front of her.
"Clang!"
Jin Tie's anxious voice came from the originally empty place. Then, a figure appeared. It was King Lan Ling of the Western Regions!
King Lan Ling of the Western Regions was the king of assassins. His strength was terrifying and terrifying. However, Ah Ke had found him hiding in the dark and attacked him instantly.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that one of Ying Zheng's subordinates would be so powerful. Even an unremarkable follower could discover my traces.”
Everyone knew that King Lan Ling was proficient in assassination. In his opinion, he was most proud of his ability to conceal himself. However, he was seen through by Ah Ke.
Ah Ke was silent and didn't want to argue with King Lan Ling. The short blade in her hand flashed in the air one after another, and each move was aimed at the vital points.
For a moment, the dignified King Lan Ling could only parry and not fight back.
Once the assassin exposed his tracks, he would definitely lose.
Looking at King Lan Ling who was fighting with Ah Ke, Hua Mulan shouted.
"Take him down!"
Five hundred elite soldiers of the Rui Lin Army charged forward and surrounded Prince Lan Ling.
