While Lin Bai and Prince Liang were discussing matters in the study, bursts of noise came from the City Lord's Mansion, and tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the entire City Lord's Mansion.
Their faces were livid and full of anger. They pointed at the city lord's palace with weapons in their hands, and shouted in unison that Lin Bai should take action and die!
"What's going on?"
Prince Liang looked slightly gloomy and asked in a low voice.
Immediately, outside the study room of the city lord's mansion, a soldier wearing armor walked in and said with a slightly panicked expression:
"Reporting to the prince, many soldiers in the city heard that the 'betrayer' Prince Qin Lin Bai would come to Tianya Pass, so many people came to seek Prince Qin's life!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the study changed.
The gentle and elegant Prince Zhao frowned slightly and asked Prince Liang in a low voice:
"Brother Emperor, didn't you say... that the news about Prince Qin's return to Tianya Pass was not spread to the outside world, and only your personal guards and a few people knew about it?"
"Why is it now known to everyone in the city?"
Prince Liang, Prince Zhao, and Lord Beast all knew that if Lin Bai returned to Tianya Pass, it would definitely cause a lot of shock, especially among the Chu warriors who hated Lin Bai as the "betrayer".
Therefore, when Prince Liang sent the army to Tianjian Peak to welcome Lin Bai back, he secretly ordered that Lin Bai's return to Tianya Pass must be kept secret.
So when Lin Bai, Song Shunhua and others returned to Tianya Pass, Prince Liang even sent his butler to greet them personally.
Prince Liang was also full of doubts about this. He had clearly requested that things be done secretly, so why was it now known to everyone in the city?
He glanced at Song Shunhua and said nothing, but his sharp eyes made Song Shunhua uneasy, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to answer:
"Reporting to the prince, I promise that no news will be leaked when I return."
"And the soldiers who followed me are not the battalions of the current army. They are only the prince's personal guards. There is no way they can leak the secret!"
Prince Liang slowly looked away, thinking secretly in his heart that he also felt that it was impossible for the personal guards to leak the secret.
Prince Zhao and Lord Beast looked at each other, their eyes flashing sharply, and they each had thoughts in their hearts.
"Since they are here to see me, I will go out and meet them!"
Seeing that Prince Liang was unsure of his decision, Lin Bai responded with a smile, turned around and walked out of the study.
"Wait a minute!"
Prince Liang hurriedly stopped Lin Bai: "With the current status of Prince Qin, it would probably not be a good thing if he rashly appeared in front of these soldiers."
"That's right." The Beast King on the side also responded: "Prince Qin doesn't know something. The men in our army always only like to kill and rarely use their brains."
"It makes sense that they couldn't tell the difference for a while."
"If Prince Qin appears openly in front of the soldiers now, they will probably turn their swords on you in anger!"
The Beast Lord and Liang Lord successively spoke to stop him.
"Since they know I'm back, wouldn't it make people more suspicious if they avoid me?" Lin Bai looked at the three princes and asked.
"Besides, they have surrounded the city lord's palace. If I don't go out to see them, they will never give up!"
Prince Liang thought for a moment: "Now that things have happened, let's go out and see what these bastards are going to do!"
"Walk."
The three military kings walked out of the study side by side, followed by Lin Bai, Song Shunhua, and the steward Liang Wang.
Everyone came to the sky above the City Lord's Mansion, looked up and looked ahead, and saw that the entire City Lord's Mansion was surrounded by soldiers.
"Please come out and give me an explanation!"
"Let Lin Bai take action and die!"
The soldiers who surrounded the city lord's palace shouted for Prince Liang to come out and give an explanation, while shouting for Lin Bai to take action and die!
For a moment, there was a feeling of mutiny.
Prince Liang, who had just arrived in the sky, saw this formation and couldn't help but sneered, and secretly transmitted the message:
"Prince Zhao, Lord Beast, which of you will send troops into the city?"
After hearing this, Lord Beast and Lord Zhao knew that Lord Liang was worried about unnecessary things happening and needed troops to enter the city to quell the rebellion.
Although the city lord's palace can accommodate one million warriors, the armies of the three military kings exceed one million, so most of the military officers are stationed outside the city.
The troops stationed in the city were either indigenous warriors from the previous frontier city or the personal guards of the three military kings.
Now that there are signs of mutiny in the city, it is natural to send troops into the city to quell the rebellion.
After hearing this, the Beast King grinned. His face was somewhat ugly, with dark skin, stubble all over his face, and a ferocious face.
His smile made him look even more horrified:
"Beidi was originally the fiefdom of Prince Zhao. When these things happened, it was naturally most appropriate for Prince Zhao to send troops."
"Of course, I can also dispatch troops into the city, but... once my army enters the city, I'm afraid things will be even more difficult to handle."
The Beast Lord knows the virtues of his subordinates, and once they enter the city, a fight will probably be inevitable.
"I will dispatch the fifth battalion into the city immediately. You two don't need to panic." Prince Zhao only thought about it briefly and immediately began to make arrangements.
The fifth battalion of the army belonging to Prince Zhao outside the city immediately set off and rushed towards the city.
Prince Liang naturally knew that the tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding the city lord's palace could not shake the three military kings, so he asked Prince Zhao to dispatch the army just to deal with greater chaos!
After the three military kings made arrangements, Prince Liang slowly stepped forward, faced the soldiers surrounding the city lord's palace, and said loudly:
"Whose subordinates are you? How dare you besiege the city lord's palace?"
"Do you want to rebel?"
Prince Liang did not give them a good look, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was extremely cold and questioning.
He has been fighting for many years in his life, and has fought tens of thousands of battles, large and small, against his subordinates. He is no longer surprised that tens of thousands of soldiers bravely besieged the city lord's palace.
As for his opponent, Prince Liang didn't care.
Among the wars in his life, many of them were fought against his former subordinates.
"Prince Liang, Prince Qin Lin Bai has betrayed the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm and our country of Chu. Why did Prince Liang recruit him to Tianya Pass?"
"Prince Liang, Lin Bai is the emperor's son of Jiuyou Demon Palace. If he is allowed to enter Tianya Pass, I am afraid that Jiuyou Demon Palace will know our secrets of the Chu Kingdom? Please Prince Liang hand over Lin Bai and let us cut him off."
This man’s head can be given to the warriors of Chu State!”
"Prince Liang, why do you want to protect Lin Bai? Is it because he is your son-in-law? In this case, how can the military laws be used as evidence?"
None of the many warriors answered what Prince Liang said, and no one knew who his subordinates were to protect themselves. Instead, they kept asking Prince Liang why he did what he did!
