LOVE AND BETRAYAL
STANDBY

At night when it was raining heavily, a horde of horsemen with swords in their hands broke through the darkness of the night.

They pierced through the darkness of night while swinging the sword in hand, slashing down anyone who tried to obstruct their journey fiercely.

Yunyi's forces were moving at high speed towards the capital's border region from all sorts of directions.

Although Yunyi's forces were already reduced in number due to the surprise attack carried out by the secret forces belonging to crown prince Qin Shi Huang.

However, this did not affect their power at all. Even the Yunyi army was moving more aggressively than before.

They risked everything in order to get to the border of the capital immediately and prepared to start a real battle.

As one of the forces that played a major role in the unification of the Huangshan state in the past, the army led by the great general Bao is certainly not an arbitrary army that can be underestimated.

Although they realized that the battle this time was not easy, but they had trained very hard just to arrive today.

They do not want the struggle they have done to be in vain – after doing a long wait.

The grudges of the past due to the injustice done by the government to those who ultimately chose to secede and was in the control of Queen Qinly made the spirit of the Yunyi troops continue to burn until now.

The fire of vengeance within them will never be extinguished if the past grudges are not avenged.

After a long journey, one by one Yunyi's troops, divided into groups to avoid enemy attacks, arrived at the border and began to join forces belonging to Heng Yuan who had arrived get there first.

With the unification of Yunyi's troops in the border region of the capital made the formation of troops owned by Heng Yuan complete.

Heng Yuan was now just living up to the plan he had drawn up with Queen Qinly to attack the capital with the four leaders of the army he managed to assemble.

The four great men were seen gathering to discuss the matter of the assault they were going to carry out tomorrow, according to Queen Qinly's instructions.

“ We should attack the capital in the early hours of the day, when the citizens are still asleep...”, said the great general Gao gave advice.

Everyone seemed to agree with the great general's words. It is more effective to attack the enemy when they are in a careless condition.

And early morning is the right time because many people are still asleep in the dream world.

If anyone wakes up, their self-awareness is still low because in general, people still relax before carrying out their daily routine.

The troops and bodyguards guarding the capital's gate area also began to loose at that time due to shifts from night duty to day guard officers.

It was this gap that Heng Yuan's forces would use to carry out the attack. Without them knowing if the crown prince Qin Shi Huang and emperor Huang Lo had been prepared for the imminent attack.

They had forgotten that there was Fan Jianying who could scout every movement within a radius of two hundred meters from the capital's gate without needing to exit the palace.

“ Don't force yourself. We recommend that the wife in the palace and take good care of our child.”, said Bai Cheung as she gently stroked his wife's stomach.

“ As long as the husband can cope with everything, I will stay inside the palace quietly.”, Fan Jianying said gently.

Bai Cheung's jaw seemed a little hardened to hear the insinuations the wife gave him.

“ No.. My husband is very strong. Only, our enemy this time cannot be underestimated..”, said Fan Jianying tucked a tone of concern there.

“ Husband promises to take care of our wife and children with all our souls even though life as a bet husband will make sure you two will be good – fine..”, said Bai Cheung promised.

As per the instructions of the emperor after discussing with Fan Jainying, without everyone knowing the silence – Shilin healer and fourth prince Wei Jie since morning had started to evacuate the citizens of the capital to the city of Funyuge after getting word from Guang if Yunyi troops were expected to arriving at the capital at night.

Fan Jianying chose the city of Funyuge as a refuge because it was considered neutral and never looked at because it did not have the potential to add to the state treasury like other areas.

So the citizens of the capital will stay there for as long as the fighting goes on until the capital's condition stabilizes.

The displacement of these citizens is carried out in stages so as not to arouse suspicion so as to attract enemy alert.

Parents, women and children – children were evacuated first because they are weak so they need to be saved first.

Next are workers and employers. The latter were the nobility because they were considered to have bodyguards who could keep them safe during the journey to exile.

As for the families of the officials, only those under the crown prince's stronghold and supporting the kaisr alone were they saved.

While for officials who are under the control of Queen Qinly not too they calculated because nantiny will be considered to be able to damage the plans they have made.

Because the time is very urgent and the horse-drawn carriage that brings the refugees is not enough, some residents, especially the young people, choose to stay in the capital and help the war.

So also with young women who dare, they also choose to settle to help consumption and treatment.

Of course the goodwill was welcomed with open arms by the crown prince Qin Shi Huang who also intervened in dealing with this refugee issue.

Queen Qinly and second prince Song Yu, who were busy with their plot of invasion, did not know that most of the capital's citizens had fled to the neighboring city.

Right now their focus was to prepare a very thorough plan to overthrow emperor Huang Lo along with the officials who supported them.

Moreover, until now the emperor Huang Lo is still rumored to be sick and has not come out of his residence making Queen Qinly very sure if this time the rebellion plan led by him will reap success.

Moreover, there was Cheng Lu and Heng Yuan behind him along with his Yunyi army making the confidence Queen Qinly would win very high.

At midnight, the army of darkness demons led directly by Heian began to move first.

In addition to observing the situation, the plan they will carry out terror against the citizens as an opening attack like a plan.

But who would have thought if they again had difficulty seeing the large number of Muanbai troops scattered along the capital gate.

The Muanbai army was seen hovering – layers in the air while holding a sword that could destroy the body of the dark demon army in one hit making Heian's guts slightly shrivel.

“ Shit !!!.. Muanbai troops are there where – where !!...”, Heian muttered.

He also moved around, trying to find a gap that existed in order to penetrate the defense that had been made by the Muanbai troops.

Heian who had a dead end finally chose to retreat while informing the capital gate defense map that he managed to draw.
