As for who will be defeated at that time, it is hard to say. It may be the army under the King of Zhennan, or it may be the secret army under the king. In short, whoever obeys the Tang Dynasty will be our comrade-in-arms, and whoever stands on the opposite side of the Tang Dynasty will be our victim.
"This isn't what we expected. We've already made the fire burn brightly, but only one old monk died, and some people from Tianlong Temple also died. This is completely different from what we expected. Should we add more fuel to the fire?"
After returning to the secluded spot, Qian Ping paced back and forth in the room. He really didn't want his efforts to end like this. He had to quickly stir up some chaos here. If he couldn't stir up some chaos here, was he going to stay here any longer? When would he be able to be by His Highness' side again?
"I think we should remain constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances. We've already come this far, so we can't go out and mess around for the time being. The King of Zhennan must have noticed us. Before, we moved quickly and disappeared without a trace, so it was impossible for anyone to target us. But now many people must have the idea that there's a big hand behind these things. If we take any action now, the chances of being exposed are too high."
While fiddling with the fire, Long Jiu said that the weather in the south was not very cold, and even if they camped in the wild, a fire would be enough for them to get through the night.
"I agree with Long Jiu. We should wait for a while and not start any trouble now. When my people came back just now, many people had already been released from the city. They might belong to the King of Nanzhao, or the King of Zhennan, or they might be from other big families. But no matter who they are, their target is us now."
Hu San also has his own judgment. Although this guy looks very strong, he is not bad at this kind of thinking. System soldiers will also grow after coming out. He has followed Li Xiang all over the country for such a long time, so his brain works quite quickly. In this case, we'd better wait and see.
If these two people hadn't stopped him, Qian Ping would have been able to think of other things quickly, but since these two people stopped him, Qian Ping had to listen for a while. After all, if the action was to be carried out, it would be their two men who would do it.
"Since both generals have said so, I will obey them. Aside from the necessary lookouts, it's best for everyone else to retreat to the mountains."
If they want to be quiet, they have to be completely quiet. It's not very safe here in the suburbs of the royal city. Once the people in the city expand the search range, they will still be in the vortex. If they retreat to the mountains, they will not be exposed unless their hiding place is known.
Both of them nodded. Now they just had to wait for the various forces in Nanzhao to ferment on their own. We have done what we should do. If we continue, it will be easy for others to feel our presence, and that is not what we should do. Once someone among us is killed or captured alive by them, the Tang Dynasty will be exposed. A good thing will turn into a bad thing. When we go back, let alone collecting the reward, we may even be beheaded.
In fact, what the two generals said was true. Although the matter in the royal city was over, the matter in the Zhennan Palace had just begun. Many generals from some military camps across the country rode fast horses to the royal city. They did not go to see the king, but went directly to the Zhennan Palace. This was also what the Zhennan King ordered his subordinates to do before entering the palace.
In his opinion, this was an excellent opportunity. His strength had already surpassed the king, but he did not dare to act because the temple controlled public opinion. But now it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He had been a prince for decades and had lived a life of being second to none. So he had to fight once. Even if he failed, he was unwilling to continue living in such a depressed state. He obviously had huge power in his hands, but he had to listen to an idiot every day.
He had always thought his brother was an idiot. He wondered if his father was blinded, how could he possibly let him inherit the throne? Look at what he did after becoming king. If he hadn't supported him, the entire dynasty might have collapsed.
There is nothing wrong with the idea of Prince Zhennan. No ruler would promote religion unless the religion is beneficial to his rule. Master Jinghong and his people did obey the king's orders at the beginning, but later they developed their own ambitions.
For example, monitoring the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion is not something those people should do. If they catch the Prince of Zhennan this time, the power of those evil monks in the whole country will increase greatly. Don't think that they won't dare to take action just because you are a king.
When Prince Zhennan came over from behind, more than a dozen generals were already waiting in the hall. This was the result of Prince Zhennan's struggle over the years. There were a total of twenty-four large military camps across the country, and he currently controlled sixteen of them. Only eight military camps were not under his control.
It can be said that two-thirds of the country's military forces are in his hands. Once he wants to do something, no one can stop him. However, because of the temple, there are many Buddhists in the army, including the generals present. If Master Jinghong comes out to stop him, the army is likely to collapse. Therefore, the King of Zhennan has never dared to take any substantial action.
Tomorrow, Master Jinghong will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate, which also means that the sect's power has shrunk to the extreme. In this situation, if he still doesn't take action, wouldn't he be a coward? So under such circumstances, he is ready to take a risk.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The dozen or so people were also in high spirits at this time. They had always been targeted by court officials because they were from the prince's palace. Now, if the prince succeeded in his rebellion, they would all be great heroes.
Looking at the strong figures of these people in front of him, the King of Zhennan smiled while sitting on the chair. This is the wealth he has accumulated over the years, two-thirds of the army in the entire country. What rights do you have to fight with me? Maybe I won’t live in the palace after tomorrow night.
