After the words fell, Qin Ze touched his chin.

"Kerosene? Are you planning to set fire to the Imperial City?"

"And the one who set the fire?"

The soldier replied, "No trace of them. I think they were preparing to set fire, but they saw too many of us entering the city too quickly. In a hurry, they didn't have time to make any arrangements, so they abandoned the kerosene and fled early."

Qin Ze sneered: "Even their emperor doesn't care, and they just run away like this. This is in line with the style of the Jin family."

"Jin Fengluan is a fool, but not all members of the Jin family are fools. Have the people from the two palaces been caught?"

"We have searched the two palaces and arrested many people, but Prince Qing and Prince Jing are not in their palaces. Some of the Jin family members who escaped from the city tower are still fleeing in the city, but the four gates in the east, west, south and north have been guarded."

"We should be able to capture them all within two days."

After the words fell, Qin Ze hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about Jin Jiande? He is Jin Fengluan's right-hand man, but he was not with Jin Fengluan this time. Is he in the mansion or did he run away with that old guy?"

"Dead," the soldier replied.

"Huh? Dead?" Qin Ze was a little surprised.

"Yes, the memorial tablet has been set up in Prince Qing's mansion, and it seems that the funeral took place only a few days ago."

Qin Ze raised his eyebrows but remained silent.

"My Lord, are you worried that he is faking his death? Then let's go to the tomb and dig it up to verify his identity."

After hearing this, Qin Ze shook his head.

"No need."

"The Jin family never expected that we could capture Nanze overnight. Although Jin Jiande has always been cunning, even if he could have thought of this and arranged a funeral hall to fake his death in advance, he would not have abandoned Jin Fengluan."

"In the entire court, no, in the Jin family, the person who is most loyal to Jin Fengluan is Jin Jiande."

"But Jin Weizun... doesn't care about anything else but his own life and death."

"He and Jin Pingwu are the most core members of the entire Jin family. We must capture them all."

"Yes! We have sent people out of the city to chase them!" the soldier replied.

It was already sunset, and Qin Ze didn't want to waste too much time here. After tonight, he planned to go to the barbarians tomorrow.

Qin Ze still remembered the words of the barbarian general Shan Yi during the previous battle at Yanluo Mountain.

But if you want to unify the world and eliminate disputes, sometimes you have to eliminate hidden dangers.

Tonight in Nanze City, except for the ongoing search in the city, the war has ended and most areas have returned to peace.

The massacre did not happen, so the people in the city gradually fell asleep in the middle of the night in anxiety and relief.

But outside the city, there has never been peace.

-

Jin Pingwu finally sobered up from his drunken state.

But when he saw what was around him clearly, he was shocked.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the sky. Before I knew it, it was already late at night, and I...

He looked at the shackles around his neck, then turned his head to look left and right, all he saw were burly and strong barbarian men!

I was actually in a prison van, being escorted by them to an unknown place!

"Hey! What's going on?! What are you doing?!" After being stunned for a few moments, Jin Pingwu shouted in panic.

An old and hoarse voice sounded behind him:

"Send the prince back."

Jin Pingwu recognized this voice. It was the Barbarian King Wu Li who had pulled him aside and entertained him earlier!

Although he was slowly waking up, his head still hurt. What impressed Jin Pingwu most was the bonfire dinner, and he had been in a dazed state ever since then.

But when he saw the shackles and the prison van, he still understood very clearly the situation he was in.

These barbarians treat themselves as criminals!

What are they doing? Just because they had a meal and drank, they treated themselves as prisoners? Or have they chosen to join the rebels?

In shock and anger, Jin Pingwu roared:

"What are you going to do?!"

"The rebels are about to fight a decisive battle with us, but instead of sending troops to form an alliance with us, you are going to join them?!"

Just as he finished speaking, Jin Pingwu heard the sound of hurried horse hooves behind him. He immediately looked sideways and saw Wu Li's wrinkled old face appear beside him.

Jin Pingwu could see a faint smile on this hateful face, so he roared:

"How can you not understand the situation?"

"As long as you send troops to join us, we will kill all the rebels! In the future, you will have more territory, which will make your barbarian tribe stronger!"

"At this critical moment, you actually joined the rebels by mistake. This is really stupid!"

"Let me go! There's still room for us to turn around!"

Wu Li shook his head and said, "My Lord, it's too late."

Hearing this, Jin Pingwu took a few quick breaths. At this moment, his whole body was extremely weak. It was obvious that he drank too much and had no strength at all.

He looked at Wu Li, trying to keep himself calm, and said:

"It's not too late. There's still room to turn around."

"Let me go, and let bygones be bygones. In the face of major events, His Majesty won't blame me, and I won't mind. All you have to do is take your troops to Nanze and fight the rebels with us."

Wu Li shook his head again: "It's not that late."

"My Lord, don't you see that we have already brought out the troops?"

After hearing this, Jin Pingwu was a little confused, but he soon reacted and was horrified:

"Could it be that....."

"Not only must you surrender, you must also take the initiative to attack the city!"

"What a mess!" he yelled.

"Alas." Wu Li sighed: "My Lord, you have been asleep for too long."

"But I don't know, I don't even need my barbarians to attack the city, your Nan Ze City...is no longer defensible."

Huh?! Jin Pingwu was shocked.

"What? What are you talking about?!"

"How long have I been sleeping?! Could it be that you left me unconscious for a month?!" His face turned pale instantly and he asked hurriedly.

Wu Li still shook his head and said, "My barbarian tribe doesn't have such a sophisticated drug that can make you sleep for a month and still have the strength to speak now."

"You didn't sleep for long, just a few days."

"It's just that Master Wang's attack was too fast and too fierce. You guys were completely unable to stop it. It's like... a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Jin Pingwu's eyes widened suddenly and he shouted:

"What royal master?! That's nonsense!"

"There are 200,000 or 300,000 defenders in the city, and the defenses are so tight that not even a bird can fly in! How is it possible that it can be breached in just a few days!"

"You're lying to me!"

Just as he was saying this, a barbarian soldier came riding over on horseback and whispered something to Wu Li, but Jin Pingwu was still shouting.

Wu Li stroked his beard, and after a moment of hesitation, he looked at Jinping Wu and said, "Sure enough, my guess was right, it has been broken."

After saying that, he turned to a barbarian general beside him and said, "Fortunately, we made preparations early. I hope Shan Yi and the others can complete the mission early."

"This is truly the last chance for our Barbarians."

After saying this, he ignored Jin Pingwu who was still in shock and looked towards the rear of the army.

Under the moonlight, a large crowd of old and young, women and children are walking hand in hand.
