Chapter 323: Chapter 321: The Sixth Prince Wants to Communicate with the Enemy (Part 6)

"Report! Prince! There have been several disturbances within the Capital City, but it’s unclear what the noises were."

Just when the Sixth Prince was leading his troops this way, suddenly, a few sounds came from the direction of the Capital City, causing the Sixth Prince to frown in concern.

Listening to the Messenger Soldier’s report, the Sixth Prince pondered what exactly had happened.

Why were there such noises?

Fortunately, the distance was quite far, so the sounds were not loud.

Otherwise, it might have caused a commotion.

"Send someone immediately into the Capital City to investigate what has happened.

In addition, issue the order that we will set up camp five miles out and are not to advance any further."

Following his orders, swift actions were taken.

It wasn’t long before the barbarians received news that the troops from the Imperial Camp of You Country had indeed stopped five miles away from them and were not moving forward.

At this moment, Agusi had to admit that Sun Heng truly had some skills.

In the art of manipulation, he was truly no match for this man.

Of course, even though this guy’s predictions were accurate, it still couldn’t dispel his own biases against him, and he continued to look displeased when he saw Sun Heng.

As they settled down on this side, the Sixth Prince, as expected, discreetly had a letter sent over to Agusi, wanting a private meeting.

Upon receiving this letter, Agusi cast an unusual look towards Sun Heng, his superior.

This guy’s predictions were incredibly accurate.

"Strategist Sun, what should we do next? Shall we meet with this damned Sixth Prince?"

After saying this, Sun Heng gently waved the folding fan in his hand:

"Meet? Of course, we should meet. And since this guy wants to meet in private,

heh, good, let’s tell him we can meet in private.

Then, we’ll spread the news about our meeting far and wide."

Hearing this, Agusi frowned immediately.

He actually disdained to do such things.

A man of honor should act openly and aboveboard; if not, then don’t do it at all.

To meet with someone and then betray them, as this man suggested, was not something he would stoop to do.

Not only Agusi felt this way, but his Deputy General and soldiers also disdained such sneaky tactics and looked down upon them.

However, there was no choice—this time, the orders from the Great Khan were clear: they had to follow Sun Heng’s lead.

With a sense of powerlessness and exasperation, Agusi scolded his soldiers, instructing them to inform the other party that a meeting was possible.

The news quickly reached the Sixth Prince.

When he received such a message, a malicious smile involuntarily crept across his lips:

"Little Emperor, Little Emperor, you forced my hand!

If I don’t make a choice soon, I fear it won’t be long before I end up like the Fourth Prince, completely manipulated by you!

And the Fourth Prince had the Eighth Prince to cover for him.

But that’s not the case for me; I’m alone without any support, so if it comes to that, I likely will meet a miserable end."

After mumbling to himself, he immediately had his trusted aides prepare for what was to come.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace, the Emperor and Lin Yi had tried out the firearms and then returned to the Imperial Study Room.

Ying Yi was also promptly informed of the situation outside.

"The current situation is laid out before us.

The Sixth Imperial Uncle has set up camp five miles away.

We are currently in a position where we have them completely surrounded. What do you think of this?"

Lin Yi was not optimistic about the current situation and did not hide his thoughts, openly sharing his concerns:

"The situation right now seems quite uncertain. We cannot be sure what the Sixth Prince is planning.

But to prepare for the worst, I’m afraid the Sixth Prince may have already harbored disloyal intentions.

At that time, if he really joins forces with the barbarians, even though a thousand of them can’t stir up much trouble,

with the Sixth Prince’s followers combined with the Imperial Camp’s 30,000 soldiers, our side indeed might suffer."

Indeed, as Lin Yi pointed out, if things did develop in that direction, it would be difficult to handle.

"There’s certainly a possibility of that. I’ve already instructed Ying Yi to pay close attention.

If anything goes awry, we’ll be the first to know.

However, just in case, I think it’s best if you return to Nanshan and bring over the 3,000 soldiers there. But try not to let anyone notice." fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Lin Yi agreed.

Although the Imperial Palace was guarded by the Imperial Guards and protected by Right and Left Martial Guards,

should the need arise to move troops, there were none immediately available.

Or to put it another way, the Capital City’s true military strength, the army that can actually fight, was the Imperial Camp.

Now, this Imperial Camp was entirely in the hands of the Sixth Prince.

Should there be any change in their allegiance, they would be caught off guard.

The guards of the Right and Left Martial Guards were previously under the Fourth Prince, so they were unreliable.

If they were given hand grenades, the information might quickly leak to the barbarians.

By then, knowing of the grenades, their impact would be greatly diminished, and this powerful weapon would lose its effect.

"Yes, I will see to this matter. I will have the 3,000 soldiers disguised and enter through the other three city gates in succession.

Directly after, they will gather at our shops in town."

As the situation had developed, the standard of the shops within the Capital City was notable.

Despite their large numbers, gathering these 3,000 soldiers undetected within the city was not impossible.

"Make sure to be extra careful when leaving the city this time. Let Ying Yi accompany you—ensure your safety above all."

Lin Yi initially wanted to decline, to leave Ying Yi to protect the Emperor, but the Emperor showed an irrefutable determination.

Left with no choice, Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

And so, Ying Yi and Lin Yi left the Imperial Palace silently and unnoticed.

On the main road leading to Nanshan, inside the carriage...
