Unfortunately, they were still a step too late.
As soon as they left the inn, they were surrounded by Dongfang Tianchong leading the cavalry.
If it weren't for the help of masked figures, they would have indeed died in this Dongqing Imperial City.
Qin Er respectfully replied when An Jing asked him, "The Dongqing Imperial City is under heavy lockdown now, making it very hard to get in and out. Someone helped disguise me so I could enter the city. Upon entering, a masked person met me and brought me here, saying that the master and madam are here now."
An Jing understood, nodded, and asked again, "Did you manage to deliver the letter to General Qi?"
Qin Er said, "It's been delivered. General Qi is already leading the troops to attack Dongqing. However, strangely enough, before General Qi even started the attack, the entire Dongqing forces around Beihe had already been wiped out by someone, allowing General Qi to capture five Dongqing cities without any resistance."
