"Master Lu, you are so bold. As an assistant to the imperial court, you dare to commit treason and attack my capital."

Looking up at the city wall, the King of Dongyi shouted angrily: "Today, my court's 400,000 troops will definitely take back Dongyi City, and then I will tear you into pieces."

"is it?"

Lu Linzhi was too lazy to talk to him, so he took out the crossbow and pulled three arrows at the same time, shooting straight towards where King Dongyi was.

The wind blew and three sharp arrows flashed from two hundred steps away, leaving the two kings completely dumbfounded.

Who could have thought that there would be people in the world with such amazing arm strength.

General Chen Lin was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow. It flew out quickly but passed between the three sharp arrows.

With a few muffled "swish" sounds, two of the three flying arrows pierced through King Dongyi's armor and went straight into his chest.

King Dongyi fell to the ground.

Lu Linzhi had just put away his bow when he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him. He was unable to dodge and the sharp arrow had already pierced his chest and abdomen.

"Fourth Young Master."

The members of the Li Ren Gang were shocked. Lu Linzhi quickly raised his hand to signal, turned around, and decisively broke the arrow shaft. Then, he turned back calmly and looked at the city below with a calm mind.

King Jiurong and the generals around him were all in a panic, only Chen Lin was carefully observing the situation on the city.

"Prince Dongyi and Prince Jiurong disobeyed Your Majesty's order and hid their troops on the way to the King's defense, intending to murder our Prince. Today, I am only giving them a taste of their own medicine. This is a minor punishment, and I hope Prince Jiurong will remember the lesson."

Lu Linzhi said calmly, "I have ordered the Liren Gang to withdraw from Jiurong City. The general has been stationed in Yundu for a long time. He should understand his mission and persuade King Jiurong not to act on his own and go to the capital as soon as possible to defend the king. If something happens to His Majesty, you will not be able to bear the consequences."

Upon hearing this, King Jiurong and Chen Lin looked at each other.

"General, I heard that the Liren Gang has 100,000 people. Now that the Liren Gang has completely withdrawn from Jiurong City, and there are 150,000 Lu Family Army gathered in Wengcheng, I'm afraid it will be difficult to annihilate the Lu Family Army in a short time."

King Jiurong advised earnestly: "Yundu City cannot be lost, the general should hurry to the capital to defend the king."

Chen Lin thought for a moment, looked at the dead body of King Dongyi, sighed slightly, and raised his hand and said, "Withdraw the troops and head north immediately."

Seeing the 400,000-strong army evacuating in panic, Lu Linzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the clothes on his chest and abdomen had already been stained with blood.

"Fourth Young Master, should we take advantage of the situation and give chase?" asked the members of the Li Ren Gang on the city wall.

Lu Linzhi covered the arrowhead on his chest and shook his head. "I'm afraid that Yundu City has already fallen into Song Weizhao's hands. What we need to do now is to quickly clean up the battlefield and arrange defenses. Let Song Weizhao take care of Jiurong City and Chen Lin. It's time for us to reap the benefits."

Heart-wrenching pain kept coming from his heart, and his body was already shaking.

Fu Rui quickly supported him and whispered, "The leader of Qingsu Gang has rushed back from Jiurong City. The arrow wound of the fourth young master is not light. I will go and get a doctor for you."

Lu Linzhi pursed his lips, shook his head with forced calmness, pushed Fu Rui away, and slowly walked down the city wall.

In front of the soldiers from all over, he tried his best to keep his steps steady and walked towards the barracks step by step. Fu Rui and the two gang members knew that the young master was afraid that people would notice that he was injured, so they only dared to follow him carefully.

As they entered the barracks, Fu Rui was about to go forward to support them, but he saw Lu Linzhi, who was leaning on the desk beside him, suddenly coughing up a large mouthful of blood.

"Son."

Several people were frightened, but Lu Linzhi just looked at the arrowhead on his chest and said, "The arrow is not poisonous, it's nothing serious."

After that, he began to stare closely at the map hanging on the wall.

Fu Rui could see that he was being aggressive on purpose, thinking that he was worried about Liyang City, and he quickly comforted him, "Young Master, don't worry. Liyang City has the Crown Prince in charge, and Princess Hexi has defeated the imperial army, so they can rush back to help immediately."

"Right now, all the forces in Liyang City have gathered at the border of the Three Kings. We are afraid that the deposed emperor of Dali will instigate the old subordinates of Darong and Dali to invade."

Thinking of the princess and that person, Lu Linzhi was filled with worry: "I am even more afraid that the ancient country of Tuoyue will also attack at this time."

"Liyang City has a prince and a princess. We can't rely on the young master for everything."

Fu Rui said, "This time, the young master has made enough plans for the prince's trip north."

At this time, he was only worried about the young master's health. He helped him sit on the couch next to him, and immediately sent someone to call a doctor to remove the arrows from his chest and abdomen.

Although the arrow used by Chen Lin was non-toxic, the barb on the arrowhead was much wider than that of ordinary arrows. The doctor took a lot of effort to clean the arrow wound for him.

After sending the doctor away, Fu Rui carefully helped him sit up when he saw someone hurriedly reporting:

"Fourth Master, our spies from the ancient country of Tuoyue have found out some news. King Tuoyue has mobilized all the troops in the country and is leading an army of 100,000 to Liyang City. Currently, 40,000 vanguard troops have reached the border of Liyang and have agreed to share Liyang City with the deposed emperor of Dali."

Lu Linzhi was startled when he heard this, and he quickly stood up and looked at the map behind him again.

It only takes five days to return to Liyang City, cross the Biyun Peak in Dongyi, and then cross the Li River. If someone is sent to Wengcheng to report the news, it will take at least seven or eight days to send reinforcements to Liyang City.

He thought for a moment and immediately said, "Fu Rui, the Alhe cavalry is invincible. Dongyi is the only dangerous pass in Jiangzuo and the barrier of Liyang City. We must not lose it. You must defend Dongyi City for me."

Then he instructed the servant beside him: "Jiurong City is the closest to the ancient country of Tuoyue. You should quickly send a message to Qingsu, telling him not to rush back to Dongyi, but to lead his men to attack the Queen of Tuoyue directly to prevent the Tuoyue army from encircling Liyang City."

After the two received the orders one by one, Lu Linzhi asked urgently: "How many war horses are there in the city?"

Fu Rui thought for a moment and said, "There are still three thousand cavalry."

"Okay, everyone follow me to Liyang City."

Lu Linzhi said this as he was about to walk out of the barracks.

"Sir, your injury."

Fu Rui followed him out and tried to stop him, but Lu Linzhi said, "You won't die."

Afterwards, he mounted a horse in front of the camp, galloped at full speed, and was the first to rush out of Dongyi City.

Fu Rui felt anxious, but he had no other choice but to obey the young master's orders and defend Dongyi City to the death.

The news that Tuoyue's army was invading Liyang City quickly spread throughout the city, and the entire city was filled with terror and anxiety.

Fu Guiyun still didn't know the situation in the north, nor did she know whether the prince had successfully entered Dali. Her only thought now was to hold on to Liyang City and wait for the army to return for support.

After all, she had accompanied Song Weizhao on the battlefield. She had experienced this kind of crisis situation of a large army approaching and had no fear in her heart.

At times like this, as long as you put life and death aside, there is nothing to be afraid of.

She asked Hong Qian to find a suitable armor for her. Before the enemy arrived, she put on the armor and personally accompanied the soldiers to patrol the city and comfort the people in the city.
