The camp was deathly silent; all five hundred soldiers were stunned into place by Lin Feng's words.

No one expected things to turn out this way.

Raymond Lam was actually brought out by King Zhou during his "prison break"?

Wang Dahu glanced around and then suddenly stood up.

"I, Wang Dahu, haven't read many books, but I understand that I can't abandon my brothers who are in life and death."

"There are still brothers from our Zhenyuan Army in Jiming City. I will definitely go to their aid!"

"If General Zhang Liao were still awake, he would definitely support Xiao Feng!"

Li Ke also stood up, clenching his fists: "Uncle Da Hu is right, General Shi once saved my life on the battlefield."

"For both public and private reasons, we cannot abandon our brothers, much less the righteous army!"

With Wang Dahu and Li Ke leading the way, more and more soldiers stood up.

"That's right! We came out to find reinforcements, and now that we haven't found any, are we just going to slink back like this?"

"Fight back! Lead the brothers in the city and break through!"

"With Lord Lin here, I have nothing to fear from the northern barbarians! I'll fight them to the death!"

"My lord, we are willing to go back with you!"

……

Of the five hundred people, not a single one was willing to go back to sleep and give up the opportunity to leave the city for rescue.

Those who were able to follow Lin Feng across Elephant Trunk Mountain and return safely were all veterans who had served under him for a long time.

They have witnessed Raymond Lam's bravery, respected his character even more, and firmly believed that he could create another miracle.

In the eyes of these soldiers, as long as Lin Feng is there, they would dare to venture into any danger, even if it were a dragon's den or a tiger's lair!

Wang Ling stepped forward and bowed to Lin Feng.

"My lord, we are willing to follow you to the death! Please give the order!"

Lin Feng's eyes reddened slightly as he bowed deeply to everyone present.

"Raymond Lam thanks all his brothers for their unwavering support!"

"Lin Feng hereby swears that he will share weal and woe with all his brothers, and will never let anyone down. He will stand with you through thick and thin, through life and death!"

"Walk!"

Lin Feng led 500 men and quietly left the barracks area, but did not go through the main gate of the military camp.

Soldiers were on high alert at the main gate, and they chose a dilapidated spot on the east side of the military camp that had been neglected for many years.

This place is known only to a few people in the military.

What would have been harmless in the past has now become their perfect shortcut to escape.

Five hundred men quickly withdrew from the camp and headed north along the dark alley.

After wandering around for half an hour, just as they were about to approach the North Gate, Lin Feng suddenly stopped.

At the end of the alley, the moonlight was dim, casting two figures long and indistinct shadows.

There were actually two people waiting here!

The two men were fully armored and had swords at their waists, exuding a fierce and imposing aura.

Wan Qian rubbed his eyes and whispered, "Oh no."

"My lord, those...those seem to be Lord Li and Lord Lü, don't they?"

"Are they here to arrest us?"

Wang Dahu gripped his weapon tightly at his waist and asked in a low voice, "Xiaofeng, what do we do? Charge straight in?"

Although Li Ping'an and Lü Zheng are on good terms with Lin Feng, would they dare to disobey the King of Qin?

Wang Dahu secretly guessed that these two people were most likely there to arrest them.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, I'll handle it."

He walked towards the two men, having already prepared his words, hoping to persuade them to show leniency.

"Brother Lin, oh Brother Lin, do you know how much trouble you've caused?"

Lu Zheng pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, shaking his head and sighing helplessly.

"Escaped from prison without permission, fine, but dared to mobilize troops out of the city without authorization? Don't you want your official robes anymore?"

Lin Feng forced a smile: "Brother Li, Brother Lü, the situation is urgent, and I had no other choice but to resort to this tactic. I beg you two to show leniency..."

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an sneered, "Heh! Show leniency? Brother Lin, you probably haven't realized that you've done something even worse!"

"Something that's ten or even a hundred times worse than illegally deploying troops out of the city!"

Lin Feng sighed inwardly, realizing that he had no choice but to take action today.

He was confident he could defeat Li Ping'an and Lü Zheng, but to win without injuring either of them would be extremely difficult.

His muscles were slightly tense, and he was ready to take action.

"Oh? What is the more serious mistake?"

Li Ping'an strode forward and punched Lin Feng in the chest.

"Why didn't you invite the two of us?"

"You think you can be a hero, a good man?"

"Why not call on the brothers when it comes to showing off?"

Lin Feng's tense nerves and body froze instantly. He stared at Li Ping'an, speechless for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Lü Zheng scolded him irritably, "Brother Li, well done! Brother Lin, you're going to save Jiming City with just five hundred men?"

"If you don't ask me and Brother Li for help, are you really going to lead these five hundred men to their deaths?"

Lin Feng's lips twitched slightly, and his voice was somewhat muffled: "I...don't want to drag you down with me."

His fate was uncertain, and he would have to bear the wrath of King Qin, Li Yan. He really didn't want to drag his two brothers into this.

Li Pingan put his arm around Lin Feng's shoulder and said solemnly, "Implicate? If you really consider us brothers, then don't use the word 'implicate'."

"Rescuing the righteous army is a noble act. Even if His Highness the King of Qin blames us, what can he do to us?"

Li Ping'an patted his chest: "With such a righteous cause, even if this escalates to the capital, His Majesty will still praise you as a true man, and those upright civil officials will speak up for you!"

He understands the officials in Beijing better than Lin Feng, and he is most adept at speaking from a moral high ground.

Lü Zheng also stepped forward and put his arm around Lin Feng's other shoulder.

"Lin Feng, Brother Li and I have made up our minds."

"On this trip out of the city, the three of us brothers will fight to the death together, and give those damned northern barbarians a good fight!"

Lin Feng's last bit of wariness towards the two completely dissipated with their act of chivalry.

He nodded emphatically, his voice resounding: "To have two brothers like you is the greatest fortune of my life! I am willing to share life and death with you!"

Lü Zheng and Li Ping'an exchanged a smile.

"That's more like it, let's go!"

It turned out that the two had not come alone; they had brought with them 1,500 elite soldiers.

The Zhenyuan Army and the Liaodong Army each accounted for half of the total.

The group of two thousand people quietly passed through a series of dark alleys and finally arrived at the agreed location.

But what they saw before them left everyone completely astonished.

The situation at the north gate was extremely bizarre.

King Zhou Li Ji's personal guards are facing off against the soldiers on night watch.

The two sides were on the verge of war, neither daring to make the first move.

King Li Ji of Zhou held a knife in both hands, the tip of which was aimed directly at Bi Fang's throat.

Li Ji's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, not because he was nervous.

It's purely because I'm...tired.

The standard military longsword was quite heavy, and Li Ji, having been pampered since childhood, had never done any heavy work.

He suddenly brandished a knife and threatened others, holding out for nearly fifteen minutes, until he was completely exhausted.

Bi Fang's expression was complicated. That night, King Zhou suddenly came and claimed that King Qin had military matters to discuss with him.

As he approached, his guards disarmed him, and Li Ji then drew his sword to subdue him.

Li Ji threatened Bi Fang's soldiers not to make any rash moves, and the two sides have been deadlocked ever since.

"Your Highness, why don't you... take a rest?" Bi Fang looked at Li Ji's slightly trembling arms and couldn't help but gently advise him.

"No!"

Li Ji shook his head, his tone firm: "They haven't arrived yet. If I lay down my sword, many more people will have to take responsibility tonight."

He brandished his knife and threatened Bi Fang, but his personal guards did not lift a finger, so the responsibility fell entirely on him.

However, if he puts down the knife and Bi Fang does not resist, Bi Fang will also be held accountable.

Therefore, no matter how tired I am, I must never put down this knife.

"They're here! They're here!"

Liu Ruyan had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of a troop of soldiers at the alley entrance.

Lin Feng, Li Ping'an, and Lü Zheng led two thousand soldiers side by side toward the city gate.

Seeing this, Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief and shouted sternly at the soldiers controlling the city gate: "Open the city gate!"

The soldiers looked at each other, unsure of what to do, and could only turn to look at Bi Fang.

They were completely bewildered by King Zhou's sudden farce.

Bi Fang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "As Your Highness says, open the city gates!"

The city gate slowly opened inward.

Lin Feng took the lead and walked to Prince Zhou, Li Ji, bowing respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your righteous assistance tonight. Time is of the essence, but we will visit you again to express our deepest gratitude upon our return."

King Zhou, Li Ji, smiled earnestly and said, "Take care, generals. I have done all I can and await your triumphant return!"
