Qin Li was hiding in the dark, observing attentively, trying to find out where the camp of Huangfu Mausoleum was.

He couldn't just watch the emperor surrender to Danyue. The only thing he could do now was to find an opportunity to kill Huangfuling.

As long as Huangfuling dies, Danyue will inevitably fall into chaos. At that time, he might be able to find a chance to break the situation!

Taking a deep breath, Qin Li tightened his grip on the dagger hidden in his sleeve. After a long time, he finally saw a familiar figure - Ling Qi!

Seeing Ling Qi carrying the meal, Qin Li quietly followed him all the way to the outside of a tent.

After seeing Ling Qi delivering the meals to the tent and leaving empty-handed not long after, Qin Li hid his figure and approached the tent little by little.

The mist that was quietly taken from Shen Chi was put in through the opened hole. Qin Li waited for a moment before holding his breath and ducking into the tent.

When he saw Huangfu Ling leaning on the table, he didn't take it lightly. He immediately pulled out his dagger and stabbed him.

But just when the dagger was still a few inches away from Huangfu Mausoleum, the hidden weapon hit Qin Li's wrist, and Ling Qi, who had already left, broke directly into the camp from the other side.

The sword energy was extremely cold, approaching Qin Li!

When Qin Li was hit on his right hand, he immediately switched to his left hand and wanted to stab him again, but after only a moment of delay, Ling Qi's sword had already stabbed him and successfully stopped him.

Qin Li took a few steps back after being hit. He saw Huangfu Ling, who had been lying on the table, sitting up unharmed. Looking at this scene with a smile, Qin Li immediately understood that today's assassination was impossible.

Seeing Ling Qi attacking again, Qin Li flew away from the camp without any entanglement.

But at this moment, soldiers were already surrounded outside the camp, and it was impossible to break through for a while.

Qin Li's heart trembled, and he felt that he was probably going to die here today.

His eyes tightened, and he didn't care about the injury to his wrist. He gripped the dagger again and wanted to turn back to the camp and fight Huangfu Ling and Ling Qi with his life.

However, the next moment, the wind blew.

Dozens of hidden weapons were fired from behind, the surrounding soldiers fell down, and a hole was opened.

"Qin Li, retreat!" Xiao Jinzhi's voice sounded in the dark night.

Qin Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately attacked several soldiers who surrounded him and flew away from the broken place.

When Ling Qi and the soldiers chased after them, a large amount of medicinal powder was thrown down. They could only hold their breath and hide their faces to avoid the powder.

When the medicine powder dispersed, Qin Li had disappeared.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I let them run away." Seeing Huangfu Ling walking out of his tent, Ling Qi immediately raised his hands and spoke.

"It doesn't matter." Huangfuling looked at the dark night sky, and smiled more and more heartily, "Do you think the guard did this rashly, or did he do it on Xiao Jinzhi's order?"

Ling Qi smiled, then shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I don't know."

If Emperor Tianyi really wanted to send someone to assassinate His Highness, he would not have sent just one person here and in such a hurry.

But if this matter did not benefit Emperor Tianyi, then his appearance was really timely, and it seemed unlikely that the king of a country would take the risk to save a guard.

The smile on Huangfuling's lips remained unchanged, "Actually, it doesn't matter which one it is. Since they can be allowed to make such dangerous moves, it means that this time... Xiao Jinzhi should really be at his wits' end."

He was waiting for Xiao Jinzhi to welcome him into the city!

On the other side, inside Taizhou City.

Shen Chi waited anxiously. The moment he saw Xiao Jinzhi and Qin Li appeared safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, luckily you are all right!" Shen Chi stepped forward and looked at Qin Li with lingering fear, "Aren't you always the most obedient? The emperor didn't give the order, so you went to assassinate Huangfuling yourself. How brave you are. "

Qin Li pursed his lips tightly and knelt down towards Xiao Jinzhi.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate knows that he was too reckless tonight, and even caused the Emperor to take risks for his subordinates. He really deserves death. No matter how the emperor punishes him, I will never complain."

He knew that it was not easy to assassinate Huangfuling Ling, and he also knew that he was too impulsive to do so. But now, apart from this method, he could not think of any other way, so he could only take the risk and give it a try.

Originally, he thought that in the worst case, he would lose his life in Danyue's military camp, but he never expected that the emperor would appear at the critical moment and save him.

Looking at Qin Li who was kneeling on the ground, Xiao Jinzhi walked aside and sat down.

"Get up first."

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"I want you to get up." Xiao Jinzhi raised his voice a little.

Qin Li's spine trembled and he finally stood up slowly.

"Qin Li, I know that what you did today was also for me, but if Shen Chi hadn't discovered that he had lost the medicine, you might have died in Danyue's military camp today."

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are not afraid of death!"

"Then aren't you afraid that this life will be meaningless?" Xiao Jinzhi frowned and looked at Qin Li with some disappointment, "Who is Huangfu Ling? It's impossible for you to assassinate him alone. What a nightmare. I have kept you by my side for so many years, but I didn’t know you would be so impulsive when something happened."

"Your Majesty, subordinates..."

"Needless to say, from now on, you don't have to stay with me anymore."

"Your Majesty!" Qin Li's heart trembled, and he hurriedly looked up at Xiao Jinzhi, "Are you going to... drive away your subordinates?"

"No, no." Shen Chi quickly smoothed things over, "Your Majesty, although Qin Li is a little impulsive, in the final analysis, it is for you and the soldiers in this city. Even if it is for the sake of past friendship, you And forgive him a little bit.”

"Your Majesty, this subordinate really realizes his mistake. Please let me stay with you!" Qin Li kowtowed quickly and spoke.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Qin Li with complicated eyes, and after a while he said: "Even if you did it for me, but acted without permission, I can't forgive you. From now on, you don't have to stay with me anymore. Patrol the city and reflect on it."

Qin Li looked at Xiao Jinzhi and saw that the other party's expression was full of ambiguity, so in the end he could only grit his teeth and accept.

"Yes, I obey!"

Although it was the middle of the night, the movement just now alerted some generals. When Qin Li and Shen Chi went out, several people were waiting outside.

However, seeing Qin Li's expression downcast, he did not come forward for a moment.

"Okay, don't worry too much. The emperor just asked you to patrol and reflect. Maybe after a while, the emperor calms down and calls you back to his side." Shen Chi patted Qin Li's shoulder and spoke comfortingly. .

Qin Li took a deep breath and said, "I understand, but in this situation, I'm really worried about not being by the emperor's side."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention." Shen Chi paused and then said, "But in terms of food, I heard that there is only less than one day's ration left."

Qin Li nodded and said in a solemn tone: "Yes, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no time, I wouldn't have acted so rashly."

Shen Chi sighed, looked back at the lobby where he had just left, glanced at the generals standing not far away from the corner of his eye, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Li, I'm afraid we really have to be ready to surrender. ."
