Ye Ning's words left the city.
The Overwatch Council people's expressions changed.
"Milord, how can you leave the city?"
There were countless people in the world who wanted to kill Ye Ning.
Why was Ye Ning still alive?
Although there were many coincidences, the most important thing was that he was in the capital!
The capital's array was a natural protective umbrella that helped Ye Ning avoid huge risks.
He was in the capital, and others had many misgivings, so it was not easy to make a move.
Once they left the city and were discovered, they would be in for a disaster.
Would those who were secretly coveting him let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Therefore, the people of the Overwatch Council objected immediately.
"Maybe the Red Flame Army is fine. We can't scare ourselves.”
someone said.
"I hope so too, but the possibility is not high.”
Ye Ning shook his head and said.
The Red Flame Army was stationed outside the city, so it was much easier to attack them.
Moreover, the Red Flame Army had become an important chess piece that threatened the founding duke a long time ago.
Now that their plan had failed, they would definitely vent their anger on the founding duke.
This was almost the consensus of everyone.
This was because Marquis Weiwu and his gang definitely did not have any moral values. It was not surprising for them to vent their anger on others.
"The founding duke chose to commit suicide because he knew that if Lord Ye didn't die, Marquis Weiwu and the others wouldn't let the Red Flame Army off!”
Cai Xianggao made a highly credible guess.
"The founding duke predicted this, so when he knew that Milord was not dead, he immediately chose to commit suicide.”
Wei Wentong nodded his head and agreed.
Mu Guanying's face turned pale.
Only then did he understand his father's state of mind.
All these years, he had always been under tremendous pressure.
And the source of this pressure was that sense of guilt.
Did he not know that betrayal was shameful?
He knew.
But he still made this choice.
He was not alone. He had to be responsible for his son, the Red Flame Army, and the entire Founding Duke's Mansion.
Therefore, when he realized that the Red Flame Army might die because of him, he felt ashamed to face the world.
He might as well die and meet again in the underworld.
" No one knows them better than the Duke himself. Those who surrendered to the Celestial Gate have all lost their conscience…Lord Marquis once told me that every time he stayed with those people, it was torture…If the Duke chose to commit suicide because he was afraid of hearing the news of the Red Flame Army's accident, then I believe that something must have happened to the Red Flame Army.”
Said Uncle Fu as he recalled.
In fact, the founding duke's judgment was right.
When the news that Ye Ning was still alive spread out, Marquis Weiwu and the others did not even have the thought of confirming the founding duke's side.
She immediately pushed the blame onto him.
Although it had something to do with the founding duke not going.
But even if he went, would those exasperated animals let the Red Flame Army go?
It wouldn't happen.
The anger in his heart always needed to be vented.
It wasn't the first time they had been unhappy with the founding duke. Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys was something they could do with ease.
"Stop talking. Let's go out of the city and take a look at the Red Flame Army's encampment!”
Ye Ning walked out.
He had made a decision. No matter how unwilling the Overwatch Council was, they could only obey.
They would never forget their identities.
Usually, Ye Ning was very amiable and was willing to discuss with everyone when he encountered something. However, once he made a decision, everyone would carry it out without any compromise.
"Go, go to the Overwatch Council and bring people over!”
Wei Wentong ordered.
Someone immediately rushed to the Overwatch Council.
"Our lord is good at everything, but sometimes he doesn't care about his own safety and is too impulsive.”
Wei Wentong looked at Ye Ning and sighed.
"The Great Zhou has never lacked higher-ups who are focused on protecting themselves and hide behind to let their subordinates charge. I've never seen someone like the superintendent in my life. If not for this, we wouldn't have followed him wholeheartedly.”
Niu Jinxi's eyes emitted a cold light.
"I'm already prepared. If someone really plans to attack you while you're out of the city, I won't let them off. If you want to kill you, you have to step over my dead body first!”
Everyone's eyes were filled with determination.
They all thought so.
As for Ye Ning, his face was as dark as water, but his heart was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
There were 50,000 Red Flame Troops stationed outside the city.
Fifty thousand!
These were not 50,000 plants, but 50,000 living beings.
Fifty thousand people stood together. At a glance, one could not see the end. It was a huge black mass.
So many people, could it be that they died so quietly?
He was also human. He had heard the story of the founding duke and knew that the founding duke had participated in his murder.
But he couldn't hate her.
It was not only because the founding duke was dead, but also because he was a pitiful person.
He was supposed to be a good person, but he was forced step by step into the abyss.
He joined the surrender faction, but his conscience was still intact.
Thus, he felt tormented.
The people who surrendered had never treated him as one of their own.
Even if today's incident hadn't happened, the founding duke wouldn't have ended up well. He was a person with a conscience. How could he have a good ending when he was mixed among a group of wolves?
When everyone wanted to protect him, it was very likely that no one could protect him well.
Ye Ning wasn't lying.
It was the answer given by history.
"I want to see it with my own eyes!"
Ye Ning muttered to himself.
He wanted to see how the Red Flame Army was doing.
If he found out that the Red Flame Army had been wiped out after leaving the city, he would not let them go.
If Ye Ning met with danger and died after leaving the city, then he would return after becoming the Heavenly Emperor and would still not let this group of people off.
At this moment, his thoughts had changed.
His cynical attitude had transformed in the face of the cruel reality.
More and more people from the Overwatch Council came.
They formed a long queue.
They wore black clothes and held sharp weapons in their hands. Each of them was an expert.
They knew very well what kind of responsibility they were shouldering.
Zhang Chengzong and the others, who were supposed to be on vacation, also returned to the team.
They did not want to miss the first large-scale operation of the Overwatch Council since its return to the martial world.
As a result, a long queue with a clear flag swaggered through the streets of the capital.
Naturally, it alarmed many people.
The Overwatch Council is leaving the city!"
"The one walking in front is Lord Ye?"
"Could it be that something big has happened outside the capital?”
The commoners didn't know the inside story. They were shocked and could only guess.
And those who were observant immediately realized something.
"Ye Ning has left the city!"
Mighty Marquis Residence.
Marquis Weiwu let out a maniacal laugh. He pulled out his long sword and slashed the table in front of him as he roared.
"Ye Ning actually dares to leave the city. He's courting death!”
"Everyone, what are you waiting for?"
"Outside the city will be his grave. He will regret his impulsiveness!”
There were too many restrictions in the capital.
Outside the city, there was nothing to worry about.
Everyone was ecstatic and gave orders.
The private soldiers, servants, hanger-ons, and martial arts experts of the various forces also gathered from all directions and headed out of the city.
This was a huge force.
In terms of numbers, it was more than ten times that of the Overwatch Council!
In Spring Breeze Building, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped.
"What? He left the city?"
Xiao Qianqian's beautiful eyes shook.
However, she quickly reacted and immediately made arrangements.
"Immediately send out the top spies and let them follow Ye Ning. If Ye Ning is safe, there is no need to do anything. If something happens to Ye Ning, protect him at all costs and bring him back to the capital!”
The order was immediately passed down.
Green Bamboo asked curiously.
"Miss, you don't seem to be particularly shocked by Lord Ye's decision.”
Xiao Qianqian said with a bitter smile.
"Is there anything in this world that he doesn't dare to do?”
In the Imperial Palace, Ji Mingyue received the news.
She also made arrangements immediately.
"Send troops to escort Ye Ning immediately!"
She finally knew Ye Ning. No matter what decision this guy made, even eight horses couldn't pull him back.
Instead of thinking about sending an imperial edict to stop him, it was better to think about how to protect him.
But here came the problem.
After he gave the order, the general who was waiting in front of the hall still did not move.
"Why aren't you moving? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Ji Mingyue questioned.
"Your Majesty, I naturally heard it, but I don't know which army I should convey this order to…"
The general knelt down on one knee, his face filled with confusion.
"Of course…"
The moment Ji Mingyue opened her mouth, she paused.
That's right, which army should the military order be given to?
He thought about the troops stationed around the capital.
The first was the few troops stationed outside the city.
The Red Flame Army belonged to the Founding Duke.
There were also three armies, about 150,000 people in total, all of which belonged to the generals.
And these three Generals had long since secretly pledged allegiance to the Six Nations.
The reason why they were stationed outside was actually an invisible threat to Tian Zi.
Command them?
Don't even think about it.
Let's not talk about the garrison outside the city first.
First of all, the city guards were not a problem.
However, the city guards had been in a bad state for many years due to their low morale, insufficient pay, and lack of training.
The reason was simple.
The Six Nations and the immortal sects did not want to see an elite city guard.
As for Ji Mingyue, she could not be bothered to invest any resources into the city guards. This was because there was definitely no way to nurture such an army that was placed on the surface.
In other words, if she wanted to mobilize troops now, she could only do so with the royal guards.
The royal guards guarded the imperial city, and their responsibilities were heavy. They could not be moved easily.
This was an army on the surface.
Secretly, she naturally had a strong army that she had nurtured for several years. This was an important trump card for her to revive the Great Zhou.
It was impossible to move.
Once she was sent out of the city, the world would see this army. All her efforts in the past would be in vain.
Therefore, after a round of stocktaking, Ji Mingyue actually discovered that the army that she could take out to save Ye Ning was only a group of imperial guards guarding the Imperial City.
This was a disgrace to the emperor.
"Send 10,000 imperial guards out of the city. There's no need to fight. Just protect Ye Ning!”
Ji Mingyue gritted her teeth.
"Yes!"
The general accepted the order and left.
At this moment, Ye Ning walked out of the capital.
The moment he left the city, he turned around and looked at the towering city walls.
A strange feeling rose in his heart.
