Ten days later, the east gate of the capital was crowded with people, and 30,000 Yulin troops were ready to set off.

The Yulin Army was walking on the middle street, but the people around him were talking about it.

A young man wearing a brocade robe suddenly said:

"Who knows where these Yulin troops are going? Could it be that Anbei Kingdom is going to attack us again? Are these Yulin troops going to support Beihuang Pass?"

Another middle-aged man, also wearing a brocade robe, stroked his black beard, looking like he had grasped the news.

"I don't see it. If you want to support Beihuang Pass, you should go out through the North City Gate. How come you go through the East City Gate? Isn't that not looking for the distance instead of the near?"

The young master continued to ask:

"Then he must be going to Dongshan County to exterminate the bandits who have been causing trouble for a long time? Alas, it is another clearing out that wastes money and food."

The middle-aged man suddenly showed a surprised look, his voice suddenly became softer, and he said in a voice that almost only the young master could hear:

"You don't even know this?"

The young master looked confused.

"What should I know?"

The middle-aged man touched his beard and looked around. Seeing that no one noticed him, he showed a strange expression and said:

"His Royal Highness the King of Dongshan showed great power in Dongshan County. Not only did he wipe out the bandits in Dongshan County, he also wiped out the bandits who had been entrenched in the Guyan Mountains for hundreds of years!"

The young master's shock was beyond words.

"Really? King Dongshan has only been in Dongshan County for half a year. How can he be so powerful?"

The middle-aged man looked like you don't believe me.

"How can there be any leave? Some time ago, Dongshan County issued a talent search order, recruiting talented people from Beiliang State to go to Dongshan County to undergo assessment, and those who passed the test were awarded official positions on the spot."

"I have an uncle who was lucky enough to be selected and is now a county magistrate of Dongshan County. He told me this in a letter."

What the middle-aged man didn't know was that the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice gradually became louder. Many people around him heard it, and they all listened with their ears pricked up.

A young man dressed as a scholar suddenly stretched his head over, revealing a mean look.

"Is what brother just said true?"

The middle-aged man and the young master were startled, but when the scholar asked about where they were itching, they continued to answer without any scruples.

"Hey, of course that's true. Not only that, Dongshan County now is different from the past."

"Not only do the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has enough food and clothing, but many roads and water conservancy projects have also been built."

"The current Dongshan County is probably the place where the people in the entire Beiliang Kingdom are the richest."

The scholar immediately danced with joy.

"Young student has been studying for many years and has a lot of knowledge. Just because he is not from a wealthy family, he can't find any chance to get ahead in this capital."

"Since the King of Dongshan appoints people on merit, I must give it a try so that I can live up to the teacher's teachings."

The middle-aged man immediately patted the scholar on the shoulder.

"We are destined to meet each other. I will write you a letter later and introduce you to my uncle."

"Although the laws under the rule of King Dongshan are very strict and cannot prevent you from getting any convenience, it is always better to have someone recommend you."

The scholar didn't expect that his interjection would be such a good thing, so he immediately clapped his hands and bowed to the middle-aged man.

"Thank you sir!"

The young man on the side suddenly spoke up, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Hey, hey, aren't we discussing where these Yulin troops are going to attack? Don't go off topic!"

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly became serious.

"If my guess is correct, these 30,000 Yulin troops are probably going to attack Dongshan County."

The young master and the scholar suddenly looked shocked.

"Why do you see this? Isn't King Dongshan your Majesty's third prince? Besides, there is no news that King Dongshan is planning to rebel!"

Since there was no concrete evidence, Xiao Shunzhi did not spread the word that Xiao Li was treasonous.

The middle-aged man sneered.

"Your Majesty is already very suspicious today, and he is jealous of talents."

"Now His Highness the King of Dongshan is doing a great job in Dongshan County. The people's lives are prosperous and their strength has been greatly enhanced. How can he tolerate it anymore?"

The people around the middle-aged man sighed, as if they were sighing that a prince who finally gave the people hope in the Northern Liang Kingdom was about to disappear.

While the people around were talking about it, the 30,000 Yulin Army seemed not to know what they were about to experience. They all held their heads high and seemed to be full of energy.

In the middle of the line of 30,000 Yulin troops was the second prince Xiao Zhuang, who was being carried on foot by several strong servants.

Although the four servants are strong enough, his fat body still requires the four servants to exert great effort every step they take.

With Xiaozhuang's status and financial resources, it was impossible not to even get a carriage. The reason why he wanted to be carried through the common people was to make a good show.

Surrounding Xiaozhuang, in addition to the domestic servants, were several masked men wearing blood-colored clothes riding horses to protect the surroundings.

The one closest to Xiaozhuang is naturally the girl from the Jiuli tribe, Meizhu, who has always been with him.

At this time, Mei Zhu was staring with vigilance at the man carrying an ancient sword who suddenly appeared on the other side of Xiaozhuang. His powerful aura made him feel a fatal threat.

Kuai Jian's perception was very keen, and Mei Zhu noticed him just as she turned around to look at him, and he showed a cruel smile.

"What? You want to fight? It's a pity that you are not my opponent!"

Mei Zhu hummed, she was also a top-notch expert, so her spirit was naturally not as high as usual.

"Humph, you won't know until you beat him or not!"

Kuai Jian raised his eyebrows and spoke in a strange tone.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, do you think you would hate me if I beat your right-hand man to death in front of you?"

The second prince, who had been smiling and waving to the people, suddenly showed displeasure. Kuai Jian said in front of him that he would kill his most capable subordinate, clearly not taking him seriously.

Although Xiao Zhuang has secretly made up his mind to make a good confession in front of his father after returning from Dongshan County, he can't break up now.

He restrained his gloomy face, continued to smile and said:

"Hey, Master Kuai Jian, don't be angry. It's because I have failed to discipline her well. I will punish her severely when I return. I don't think Master Kuai Jian will care about a little maid, right?"

This remark has several meanings. It not only slaps Mei Zhu and makes her pay attention to her sense of propriety. It also insinuates that Kuai Jian has no courage and actually cares about a maid.

Mei Zhu had been with Xiao Zhuang for many years, so she naturally knew that he was a little unhappy, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Kuai Jian showed a strange smile. Anyone who knew him well would know that he had murderous intentions at this moment.

If his strength hadn't allowed him to act recklessly in the capital, I'm afraid he would have taken action right now.

Xiao Zhuang saw that both of them had become quiet, so he ignored them and continued waving to the people around him with a smile.

On the other side of the middle-aged man, two stunning women in gray cloaks were staring at Xiao Zhuang.

If you can see through it, you can find that there are many frightening things hidden under their cloaks.

One of them had bottles and cans hung on both sides of his cloak, any one of which could easily poison hundreds of people.

On the inside of the other man's cloak, there were one after another ferocious-looking Gu worms, and there were quite a few of them. If they were completely released, the Yulin army would definitely cause a huge panic.

The two people were Li Yue and Xue Zihan. Linglong Pavilion used all the connections it could use in these ten days, but still couldn't do anything.

Helpless, the two of them could only resort to such a strategy without telling Ruan Yu'er. Even if they died, they would never allow the 30,000 Yu Lin troops to threaten Xiao Li.

What the two of them didn't know was that from the moment they appeared in the crowd, two pairs of eyes were staring at them, none other than Kuai Jian and Mei Zhu.

Obviously, Li Yue and Xue Zihan still underestimated the perception ability of first-class masters, although Kuai Jian and Meizhu didn't know who they were and what they wanted to do.

Seeing that Xiao Zhuang had arrived directly in front, Li Yue and Xue Zihan looked at each other, one of them clasped their hands on the medicine bottle, and the other began to recite the formula silently.

Naturally, this subtle movement did not escape the eyes of Kuai Jian and Mei Zhu. They were both ready to take action, and Kuai Jian showed a cruel smile.

But at this moment, a woman wearing an aqua blue cloak appeared behind Li Yue and Xue Zihan, and suppressed the movements of the two women with strong internal force.

The two girls finally seized this opportunity. They would not give up easily, but they would take action forcefully at the next moment.

The woman in aqua blue cloak said hurriedly:

"Li'er wrote back, saying that 30,000 Yulin troops are nothing to worry about, and told us not to act rashly!"
