Chapter 662 Murder on a Rainy Night

Outside Sunset City.

In the suburbs, a village somewhere.

There are dozens of households of villagers, a very small village.

However, there are countless secret sentries and masters stationed outside the village.

At this moment, in a small room in the village, several figures gathered.

These people gathered together to discuss.

"Now the situation in Jiangnan is in chaos, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to start an uprising!"

An old official said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Princess, you must not delay any longer!"

In the crowd, a Taoist nun in a gray robe stared at the map on the table with a gloomy face.

This map, which records all the areas of Beizhou in detail, even marks the location of the Dazhao army stationed in each place.

Detailed and dense!

Li Beifeng stood beside the Taoist nun, staring at the information quietly.

Such detailed information, even with the existence of Ruyi Tower, it is absolutely impossible to know so clearly.

Unless... there is a traitor!

Li Beifeng was thoughtful.

Over the years, in addition to secretly reserving forces and preparing for action, the old party of Northern Qi has probably also planted countless secret lines among the military officials of Beizhou.

In Beizhou, there are countless old ministers of Northern Qi!

In this case, this is good news.

The Taoist nun stared at the map for a long time before turning back to look at a general next to her: "General Qin, how many troops do we have near Sunset City now?"

The burly general bowed and said: "My lord, we now have nearly 6,000 elite soldiers stationed outside Sunset City, ready to go. In addition, if an uprising occurs, we have tens of thousands of troops scattered dozens of miles outside Sunset City, and we can provide support in the first time..."

"Okay!"

The Taoist nun nodded silently.

Others were talking again.

"With our limited number of troops, can we take Sunset City?"

"It is said that He Wansheng is still in charge of Sunset City. If we fail, we will fail!"

"Yes, why don't we choose some counties and towns with weak defenses?"

"..."

Everyone was talking about it.

The Taoist nun had a blank expression on her face and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, be quiet!"

The Taoist nun had a deterrent power among the old party of Northern Qi.

As soon as she spoke, the others fell silent.

"This uprising is the result of nearly 20 years of efforts by our old ministers of Northern Qi. If we fail, we will die. Northern Qi cannot be today without the help of all the ministers..."

The Taoist nun looked at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "This uprising is our only chance. We must take down Sunset City as soon as possible. Once we take down Sunset City, we can deal a fatal blow to Dazhao..."

"As for He Wansheng!"

The Taoist nun's cold eyes burst out with a strong murderous light: "I will kill him and sacrifice for our Northern Qi! Hang his head on the top of Sunset City to announce to the world that our Northern Qi has officially restored its country!"

The words immediately made everyone present excited and tears filled their eyes!

They have been waiting for this day for more than ten years!

It's finally coming!

Many people present participated in the battle that destroyed Northern Qi that year, and they remembered it vividly.

The grievances between them and Dazhao are finally going to be settled!

As the governor of Beizhou, if He Wansheng can be killed, it will definitely cause a heavy blow to the momentum of Beizhou. Once He Wansheng dies, the troops of Dazhao will be completely defeated!

By then, after they capture Sunset City, they will be able to call for a hundred responses, completely overthrow Dazhao's rule, and return the mountains and rivers of Northern Qi to him!

"But..."

At this time, Qin Zong on the side suddenly frowned and said, "It may not be so easy to take Sunset City!"

It was like a basin of cold water, pouring all the excitement.

As an important place, Sunset City has extremely strict city defense, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The city defense in the city is even more complicated. They only rely on a few thousand elite soldiers to attack Sunset City. It is almost impossible to attack by force!

Even if they capture it, they will certainly suffer heavy losses.

When the support of Dazhao arrives, they will be unable to resist!

"No matter what, we must try it!"

At this time, Li Beifeng on the side slowly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

Now in the old party of Northern Qi, only the Taoist nun is the leader! The Taoist nun is the former princess of Northern Qi, and at the same time, her martial arts are unfathomable. Over the years, she has great influence and prestige in the old party of Northern Qi.

But everyone knows that the princess is not a member of the Northern Qi royal family after all. No matter how high her prestige is, she is still not convincing!

But Li Beifeng is different!

He is the prince of Northern Qi!

He is the only heir left by the former Northern Qi emperor!

Li Beifeng is not even a blood relative. He is the eldest son born by His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Qi and the Empress!

The prince with the purest blood of Northern Qi and the most qualified to inherit the throne of Northern Qi!

Back then, Da Zhao almost slaughtered the Northern Qi royal family and left no offspring, just to completely cut off the Northern Qi kingdom.

However, Da Zhao never thought that they killed all the blood of the Northern Qi royal family, but left Li Beifeng, who should not be left behind!

The prince of Northern Qi!

How many of the people present were loyal ministers who were loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Qi? !

During this period, under the deliberate arrangement of the Taoist nun, some affairs of the Northern Qi old party were gradually arranged for Li Beifeng.

And Li Beifeng lived up to expectations and did not show his cowardice. This made many old party members of Northern Qi feel relieved and excited.

They originally thought that His Highness might have become mediocre after living among the people for many years. They even prepared for the worst. It didn't matter whether His Highness had the ability or not. What mattered was his identity...

But now, the talents displayed by His Highness made their eyes shine!

"I received information that something happened in Sunset City recently..."

Li Beifeng glanced at everyone present and said: "He Wansheng deployed a lot of defense forces in the city for unknown purposes. If nothing unexpected happens, Sunset City's defense will be at its weakest by then. At that time, our best defense will be The opportunity..."

When Su Yi was about to give birth, she handed over all matters in her hands to Li Beifeng.

In the name of the Jianghu Conference, Li Beifeng summoned many masters from various sects in the Jianghu who were loyal to Suyi to gather in Sunset City.

So many people from all walks of life gathered here, which put great defensive pressure on Sunset City.

Among them were also mixed many informants arranged by Li Beifeng, who took the opportunity to find out the city's defense strength in Sunset City.

Li Beifeng turned his head and looked at General Qin Zong on the other side, and said in a deep voice: "General Qin, I'm afraid I need you to do something else!"

Qin Zong cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, just say it!"

"Outside Sunset City, there is a personal army under He Wansheng stationed, about five thousand people. I need you to find a way to stop them from supporting Sunset City along the way. We only need to stop them for three days, and our plan will be over become!"

As long as he can block the support of the five thousand people, Li Beifeng is confident that he can capture Sunset City.

Qin Zong said seriously: "Your Highness, don't worry, my subordinates will stop it to the death and live up to everyone's expectations!"

"very good!"

Li Beifeng nodded and looked at everyone: "Today will be our last meeting here and our last gathering here. Next time, I hope it will be in Sunset City, when we have a celebration banquet!"

Li Beifeng glanced at everyone present and said seriously: "In order for our people in Northern Qi to no longer suffer, in order to make the world peaceful... please all of you!"

With that said, Li Beifeng bowed to everyone.

"Your Highness, you are not allowed to..."

Li Beifeng's bow made many veterans present uneasy and knelt down one after another.

At the same time, many people even burst into tears!

Their Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so generous and polite!

As expected of the late emperor's descendants, Northern Qi... can be saved!

…

Li Mansion.

The sun was blazing.

The hot weather lasted for five or six days.

“I didn’t expect that summer in the north would be so hot!”

In the courtyard, Li Beifeng sat in the pavilion and sighed.

The courtyard was empty, not a single person was around.

Qing Ning Su Shan and the others left Sunset City yesterday under the escort of Li Beifeng!

In addition, most of the people in the mansion have been secretly escorted away by Li Beifeng. Now, the entire mansion suddenly became empty.

Some are not used to it!

The bustling courtyard in the past is deserted today.

Li Beifeng looked up at the stars and felt a little emotional.

Not long after, I smelled a refreshing fragrance.

Li Beifeng turned around.

Li Suyi's figure appeared in the courtyard at some point and walked slowly.

"Suyi!"

Li Beifeng stood up and greeted him.

Everyone left except Su Yi.

She wants to stay here and face the danger that will happen next with Li Beifeng.

As for his daughter, Li Beifeng left it to Xin Yi to take care of her.

He was reassured that he was taken care of with care.

Li Suyi nodded slightly and looked at him: "How's it going?"

"I'm almost ready, but..."

Li Beifeng sighed softly: "I'm still a little uneasy!"

Don't look at him being calm and unhurried in front of those old Northern Qi officials.

But in fact, Li Beifeng was unsure...

Can we capture Sunset City?

Can the restoration of the country be successful?

He doesn't have much certainty!

"Don't worry too much..."

Li Suyi glanced at him and comforted him for the first time.

After a moment of pause, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes were gentle: "If we fail this time, let's leave!"

"leave?"

Li Beifeng was startled and looked at her: "Where are you going?"

"casual!"

Li Suyi's cold eyes met his: "The world is so big, there is always a place for you!"

"That makes sense..."

Li Beifeng's eyes lit up slightly: "If the restoration of the country fails this time, we will leave Dazhao and find a paradise to live in..."

It sounds pretty good!

"So, don't worry too much!"

Li Suyi said softly: "Just do your best..."

"..."

Perhaps Li Suyi's comfort had an effect, and Li Beifeng gradually let go of his worries and grudges.

He had no interest in restoring the country to begin with, and it was only because of the situation that he reached this point.

If the restoration of the country fails this time, Northern Qi will have no hope at all. When the time comes, he will take Su Yi and the others away and stay away from the dispute completely.

"But...what should I do, aunt?"

Li Beifeng thought of the Taoist nun again.

What would she do if she failed this time?

All her efforts in dressing up in this life were placed on restoring the country.

If she fails, the blow to her will be self-evident!

Li Beifeng couldn't imagine the consequences!

Li Suyi was silent and did not speak.

"If that day comes, please give some advice to my aunt."

Li Beifeng thought for a while and then spoke. He glanced at Su Yi again: "Are you really not cruel to her?"

Li Suyi was still silent, her eyes confused.

"have no idea."

Li Beifeng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything. He just held Su Yi's hand tightly.

Since Suyi knew her identity, she had not seen the Taoist nun again.

Auntie didn't even take a look at the child Su Yi gave birth to. There seemed to be some grudge between the two.

"Actually, I can understand my aunt's behavior..."

As if thinking of something, Li Beifeng sighed softly and looked at Su Yi: "Last winter, when I came to Beizhou, there was heavy snow in Beizhou and countless people froze to death. In Beizhou, corpses were everywhere, and the people were in dire straits... To this day, there are still remains of corpses on the roadsides in Beizhou..."

"I was thinking at that time, why did Dazhao go through so much trouble to annex Northern Qi? I had always felt that the old Northern Qi party was a little too stubborn in wanting to restore the country, but when I saw those Northern Qi people displaced and in danger, I Suddenly I understand them again..."

Perhaps it was at that time that Li Beifeng finally decided to do something.

When you come to this world, you have to leave something behind!

Perhaps, this is the only thing he can do, to save the people of Beizhou!

Li Suyi looked at him quietly.

There seemed to be some tenderness flashing through his cold eyes.

"I'll accompany you."

…

The hot weather that lasted for many days finally cooled down today.

A sudden heavy rain enveloped the entire Sunset City. The heavy rain started in the afternoon and continued until the evening, and there was still no sign of stopping!

In the dark sky, thunder flashed from time to time, and the roar resounded throughout Sunset City!

Big raindrops fell on the eaves and courtyard, making a crackling sound.

In the sky, heavy rain is falling!

The whole city seemed to be blurred, and from a distance, it was pitch black.

On the streets that used to be bustling, the shops along the streets were very busy today and closed early.

The entire city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep early.

Governor's Mansion.

He Wansheng was sitting in the hall, his eyes closed tightly, his expression uncertain.

Sandalwood was burning in the hall, and the fragrance filled the air.

The heavy rain outside the hospital kept hitting the stone slabs, which also made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Why are you upset?

What could go wrong?

He opened his eyes suddenly and glanced at the night.

He said in a deep voice: "What happened?"

The master who had been silent until now slowly spoke out: "My lord, you are as good at predicting things as you are. Everything is under our plan..."

He Wansheng frowned and then relaxed.

The master seemed to have thought of something and asked cautiously: "Sir, do you want to...capture him alive?"

He Wansheng was silent for a moment and closed his eyes again.

"Need not!"

"Leave no one behind!"

"..."

Late at night!

In the rainy night, countless figures appeared on the streets of Sunset City.

These figures shuttled through the streets, fully armed and murderous, and quickly gathered in one direction.

At the same time, on the eaves and walls of the city, countless masters flying over the eaves and walking on the walls also gathered together, heading towards a mansion like an overwhelming force.

The sound of footsteps hitting the street in unison, splashing rain all over the ground!

Murderous aura pervades this rainy night!

The murderous atmosphere is frightening!

At the same time, inside the mansion.

Li Beifeng suddenly opened his eyes!

Coming!

…
