Outside Tianhong City.

"Boss, something is wrong!"

In a secret post, the scout who had just returned from his shift always felt that something was wrong, so he reported it to his superior.

"What's wrong?"

He Ji was the leader of this scout team, and he couldn't help but look nervous when he heard this.

Not long ago, a Xuanjia soldier ran out of Tianhong City and told them that spies from the Qingyang Empire had sneaked into the city.

Is this okay?

Regardless of whether this is true or false, it is worth paying attention to.

So, He Ji asked someone to take Feng Lei to report to Huang Ren.

At the same time, he was also afraid that this was the plan of He Wei and others.

After all, not long ago, Huang Ren sent someone to tell him that Yan Xukai had escaped from him.

Yan Xukai's importance to the Xuanjia Elite is self-evident, and he is the person Huang Ren ordered to monitor closely.

Feng Lei even said that Yan Xukai also came back with those from the Qingyang Empire.

This made He Ji even more vigilant.

But he couldn't just rush into Tianhong City to investigate.

After Huang Ren left, He Wei led his people to occupy Tianhong City and drove out all the Bailie Empire soldiers who stayed in Tianhong City.

At this point, they could only monitor the actions of this group of people outside Tianhong City in the sun and rain.

And He Ji knew very well that the person who asked He Wei to do this was Yan Xukai, who was taken away by General Huang Renhuang.

Now that this person is back, is it possible that they are planning to throw themselves into the arms of the Qingyang Empire again?

It's not impossible!

And originally, weren’t there people from the Qingyang Empire on the outskirts of Tianhong City?

Feng Lei's news really made He Ji nervous.

But the other party is Yan Xukai!

Even if it is this person, there is no guarantee that this matter is not a plan by the other party.

So in order to be on the safe side, he sent the two strongest men in the scout team to escort Feng Lei to Huang Ren.

The reason why he only sent two people was because he knew that the troops on his side were not enough at the moment, and the troops were very single, with only scouts who were good at lurking and spying.

It would be a good choice to keep more troops in his own hands so that he could deal with any changes in Tianhong City.

In the final analysis, He Ji did not fully trust Feng Lei. He was even more suspicious that Feng Lei might have been sent by Yan Xukai to distract them from their sight.

After all, the Xuanjia elites have been in Mohe Province for five years, and He Ji has seen with his own eyes, or in other words, experienced personally, how united these two thousand people are, they are as monolithic!

Over the years, there are many high-ranking officials in the empire who want to divide these people, in order to keep this sharp-sword force firmly in their hands.

But no one succeeded!

So in such a united army, there is a probability that traitors will appear in it...

Little did he know that although Feng Lei was unhappy, how could he tell a stranger his entire mental journey?

Even if it were to be said, it should only be said to Huang Ren.

Therefore, deviations on He Ji's side are inevitable.

However, it was precisely because of this deviation and his intention to be safe that only three people, including Feng Lei, were actually rushing towards Huang Ren.

This was no problem at first. Who would have thought that there would be an ambush on the road they must pass?

You must know that if Feng Lei really left the city in a fit of anger, then his action was an accident that no one could have predicted.

Since it is unpredictable, how can we deploy it in advance?

He Ji was very confident that under the surveillance of him and others, no one in Tianhong City could escape their sight and escape, so there was no possibility that anyone would rush ahead of Feng Lei to intercept and kill him.

What's more, the area outside is so vast, how can it be so easy to intercept?

And then it turns out that all of this is Yan Xukai's trick.

He sent Feng Lei to pretend to be rebellious and come out of Decheng? Naturally, it was not to deceive himself and have fun? Naturally, he had a more ulterior purpose. He needed to go to Huang Ren to trick Huang Ren.

If that's the case? Why intercept and kill him?

Are you afraid that Feng Lei won't be able to see Huang Ren?

No matter which possibility? He Ji felt that guarding the outside of Tianhong City was the more important thing.

Although the inexplicable chaos last night made He Ji believe that someone had indeed sneaked into Tianhong City, and it was his fault? So he needed to be more alert and not let anyone escape from Tianhong City.

.

Now some of his subordinates have come back to report? He Ji's face straightened and he immediately asked: "What did you find?"

"They seem..."

The subordinates were not sure either. He hesitated and said, "Just now I saw some personnel mobilizing on the top of the city. They seemed to be gathering troops."

His uncertainty was because there were too few black armor elites in Tianhong City.

There are only more than 2,000 people in total? It is indeed a bit reluctant to guard such a large city.

So even on normal days, the city top of Hongcheng was sparse that day? Not a few people could be seen.

However, with the strength of the Xuanjia elite, no one dared to underestimate the few soldiers defending the city? He Ji did not lose his mind and ordered his scouts to temporarily serve as the vanguard of the city siege.

Now on the empty city top, it felt like there were a lot less people, which made his subordinates feel confused.

"manpower shuffling?"

These four words deeply affected He Ji's nerves, and were also consistent with his own suspicions.

As a scout commander, He Ji is also extremely experienced and can make a simple analysis of the collected intelligence.

really!

He grinned, Feng Lei was really weird. As soon as he left, there was something strange in Tianhong City. It seems that Yan Xukai wanted to use Feng Lei's news to mobilize his own troops and make some moves.

When he thought of this, he hurriedly said: "Take me to see it, quickly!"

The subordinates also knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to neglect it. They turned back and led He Ji outside.

They were in a dense forest outside the official road of Tianhong City. There was a small cave there, which could be used to shelter them and provide shelter from wind and rain.

During this period of time, He Ji and the others have been living a savage life of eating hair and drinking blood, which is not a miserable life.

At the moment, He Ji really hopes that He Wei dares to make some noise, so that they can have the opportunity to attack Tianhong City and get General Huang back as soon as possible.

The two of them came out of the cave and were led by the scout through the dense forest for a while. Then they came to an extremely hidden place and looked towards the direction of Tianhong City.

Sure enough, when He Ji saw it, the defenders on the city were too sparse!

Normally, one can see a defender every two or three parapets, but now, it takes seven or eight parapets to see one.
Chapter completed!
