At that moment, he held a letter he had just received in his hand. After reading it carefully, he furrowed his brows slightly, as if the contents of the letter troubled him greatly.
Just then, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps approached from afar, and a figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
The person was tall and upright, walking with a firm stride, exuding an imposing presence without needing to show anger.
"Governor," the man greeted respectfully.
"Mm." The County Magistrate nodded slightly to indicate no need for formalities, then spoke with a serious expression, "The situation is not looking good. I fear we may have been exposed; it’s urgent that we act."
Hearing this, the man could not help but exclaim, "How could we be exposed? We have been extremely careful!"
The County Magistrate explained, "According to reports from our scouts, our base at Daliang Mountain has been discovered. There are also signs indicating that even outside the city has been compromised. Our plans may have leaked."
Furrowing his brows tightly, the County Magistrate clenched his fists and asked, "When do you think we should act?"
After a brief discussion, a suggestion was finally put forth: "The day after tomorrow! Time is tight, but if we prepare adequately, there may still be a slim chance of success."
The County Magistrate pondered for a moment before decisively nodding in agreement. "Alright, we’ll set it for the day after tomorrow. There’s no time to waste; let’s arrange the necessary matters immediately."
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the man hurriedly turned and left to relay commands to his subordinates.
With his departure, the atmosphere instantly became tense. Everyone began to busily follow the pre-established plan in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, the person responsible for delivering the message rode swiftly towards a manor outside the city. However, he was unaware that his movements had already caught the attention of watchers.
At that moment, two observers quietly climbed up onto the wall and cautiously peered into the courtyard.
They saw a group of strong men standing neatly in the yard, each robust and spirited. Each held a razor-sharp long sword tightly in hand, their eyes fixed ahead as if ready to engage in a deadly confrontation at any moment.
One of the observers changed color upon seeing this and whispered urgently to his companion, "This is bad; the situation has changed. We need to hurry back and report!"
With that, the two quickly jumped down from the wall and vanished into the night.
Inside the tent, Lin Feng was suddenly approached by a scout who rushed in with urgent news.
After hearing it, Lin Feng's expression changed drastically as he inwardly cursed his luck.
Knowing how critical this matter was, he realized they must eliminate them completely before they could act; otherwise, once things escalated, it would surely cause a huge uproar.
In this place, Lin Feng shouted without hesitation, "Mardu!" His voice echoed throughout the entire camp.
your humble general! A burly warrior with the build of a tiger emerged in response, kneeling on one knee and clasping his fists in salute.
Lin Feng's gaze was piercing as he fixed his eyes on Mardu and commanded, "Immediately lead our troops and accompany me to surround that estate! There must be no mistakes!"
Mardu accepted the order and swiftly summoned his subordinates to prepare for the expedition.
At the same time, Lin Feng instructed the other generals to quickly mobilize their armies and finalize their preparations.
In an instant, the camp was filled with a cacophony of voices, the sound of hooves, and shouts blending into one.
Before long, they marched out of the camp in a grand procession, racing towards their target—the estate.
Dust rose along the way, banners fluttered like clouds, and their momentum was overwhelming.
When this army arrived at the estate, they found the gates tightly shut and an unusual silence surrounding the area.
With a single command from Lin Feng, the soldiers quickly spread out, encircling the entire estate so tightly that not a drop of water could escape.
