ice to fill the vacancies. Although they lack experience, they can serve as deputies while learning on the job. It's better than them just idling in the Imperial Academy as compilers.As for the rest,...Chapter 1695 Brothers, charge!

As Su Pingbei drew closer to the south city gate, his heart, which had been tense and held high all along, finally relaxed a little.

Once we pass through this city gate, everything will be accomplished, and we'll have nothing more to worry about.

The closer Su Pingbei got to success, the faster his heart beat.

He instinctively glanced to his sides, seeing that the Liao army beside him was still as it had been before: some resting, some marching, some carrying corpses, each seemingly busy with their own tasks.

At this moment, a snowflake happened to flutter in front of Su Pingbei's eyes. He subconsciously glanced up and saw on the city wall, snow-bright weapons reflecting patches of moonlight.

Upon closer inspection, many Liao troops were seen guarding both sides of the city walls, and more were continuously appearing.

Su Pingbei's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously grabbed Zhao Tailei.

At this moment, Zhao Tailai was also extremely nervous. Su Pingbei's sudden grab startled him.

"What are you doing" Zhao Tailai's voice was stern, and there was a hint of anger in his tone as he found Su Pingbei scaring him at a crucial moment.

"I remember when we came in through the North City Gate, there weren't this many guards on the walls." Su Ping's eyes glinted with a cold light.

Zhao Tailai was startled, but he was not a professional general after all and couldn't see the difference. When passing through the north city gate, he didn't pay attention to how many guards there were on top of it. Only when Su Pingbei reminded him did he turn his head and see that the city wall of the south city gate was indeed lined with a dense crowd of guards.

"This... is normal, right After all, the Southern City Gate faces the Qin State territory. With the Liao Army now occupying the Crescent Pass, it's only natural to reinforce the defenses of the Southern City Gate."

Su Pingbei immediately denied, "Not normal!"

"Right now, the Liao army is poised to pursue the Qin army out of their territory. The entire region of Gansu and Shaanxi trembles under the iron hooves of Yelu Shenxuan. Why would Moonlit Pass need any defenses Such a heavy deployment of troops is definitely suspicious."

At this point, they were no more than a hundred meters from the south city gate.

Maybe it was just psychological, but when Zhao Tailai looked at the city gate again, he saw that the guard post was empty except for a squad of soldiers who seemed perfectly normal. The officer in charge was staring right at him intently.

At this point, even Zhao Tailei, who knew nothing about military affairs, could smell the danger in the air.

His pores stood on end, his heart pounding with sudden, extreme anxiety.

"Well, how..."

Before Zhao Tailai could finish his words, he saw Su Pingbei staring at him intently.

"Did you betray me" Su Pingbei's question left Zhao Tailai both shocked and furious.

"If I were to betray you, you would have died hundreds of times over already. Why would I even bother"

Zhao Tailai's explanation made Su Pingbei narrow his eyes.

Zhao Tailai truly had no reason to betray himself, and if he were to really betray, Zhao Tailai would have no reason to stay by his side. Doing so would only give him the opportunity to kill him.

"What should I do"

Zhao Tailai had no time to argue with Su Pingbei about his suspicions. Instead, he was eager to solve the immediate problem.

"Go out!"

At this moment, Su Pingbei displayed immense courage and wisdom. He quickly said, "And we must break out immediately. The slightest delay will give them time to see through our ruse. If they close the city gates, we'll be trapped with no escape."

Zhaotailai's scalp prickled.

If they break in now, things will certainly be exposed.

Most importantly, the Guza tribe can no longer hide.

Yelü Shenxuan will know about the rebellion of the Guza tribe very soon.

Before he could even think, Su Pingbei roared.

Brothers, charge!cision, so he wouldn't see me and you, nephew.""It doesn't matter if you come or not. It's our decision, and it's Your Highness's decision whether to see us. Your Highness wouldn't hold any opinion of...
