The people outside the city were confused, suspicious, and the sky was getting dark, and the Zi hour was getting closer and closer.    

    

"It's almost Zi Shi. There's still no movement at the city gate. Could the news be fake, or...? They failed to seize the city gate? " The two generals gathered together again, not in the mood to rest. Instead, they stared in the direction of the city gates to see if there were any movements.    

    

However, up until now, there was no movement at all from the city gates, and it was still tightly shut. There were many soldiers patrolling on the city walls and nothing unusual had happened, causing the two generals to feel nervous.    

    

"Don't worry, it's not the Zi Period yet. There's still some time left. Let's wait and see." Although the other general was also very anxious, he still comforted his colleagues.    

    

In fact, the two generals attached great importance to this surprise attack. Although they said that it was impossible for there to be an insider, even if there was an insider, it would be very difficult to open the city gate. However, in their hearts, they were still very hopeful that this would happen.    

    

The reason was very simple. If there really was an insider, then the city gate could really be opened from the inside. They could rush into the city as soon as possible. If that was the case... They had a great chance to occupy the city. Once the city was taken over, it would mean that the Eighth Prince had won the competition. They would become the candidates for the new emperor, and they would be the subordinates of the Eighth Prince. They were the first to enter the city, so naturally, there would be many benefits. The Eighth Prince would never forget them. Their future would be very bright.    

    

At the same time, if they could seize the city... Then... They would be able to heavily injure the rebel forces, which would be a huge blow to them. Previously, the rebel forces had been winning consecutive battles. If they were to seize the city now... Their morale would also be affected. Hence, if the Imperial Court wanted to suppress these rebels... It'll be much easier.    

    

Hence, for both public and private reasons, these two generals really hoped that the words on the paper were true. There was really someone who could open the city gates at Zi Shi.    

    

And if the city gate could not be opened, they could not believe what Huang Feng said. They couldn't believe that there were only some people who didn't fight in the city. If that was the case... They wouldn't dare to attack the city, let alone... In order to travel, the first batch of people to arrive were all cavalry. Without siege weapons, it would be very difficult to attack the city.    

    

Hence, as long as the city gates were not opened as agreed, it could be said that their surprise attack had failed. Not only did they not manage to heavily injure the enemy, but they also lost the chance to advance further.    

    

Hence, it was not strange for these two generals to look forward to the city gates being opened.    

    

At this moment, at the city gate not far in front of the two generals, there was an army stationed there. The goal of this army was naturally to protect the city.    

    

Wang Cheng took the initiative to attack the First Prince and the Third Prince, taking away most of his elites. However, he also knew that these cities had already been occupied. They were the base behind him, and he couldn't simply abandon them. He couldn't afford to be careless either. Therefore, he was still in each of these cities. He left behind a small number of elite soldiers. They were assigned to guard the four city gates of the city to prevent anyone from seizing the city gates.    

    

With these soldiers guarding the city gates and the patrolling soldiers on the city walls, Wang Cheng believed that his city was safe. There would not be any accidents.    

    

Under normal circumstances, that was indeed the case. The three princes did not know that his main force was no longer around, so they did not dare to rashly attack the city. With those elite troops guarding the city, the city would not be in any danger.    

    

However, Huang Feng's existence had changed the situation. Wang Cheng could hide from the three princes, but he couldn't hide from Huang Feng. Huang Feng also knew the situation in these cities very well.    

    

If it was anyone else, even if they knew about the situation in the city... At least, it wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time. As long as the battle remained in a stalemate, Wang Cheng would have enough time. If he led the army back, his city would still be able to defend.    

    

However, it was different when it came to Huang Feng. The people that Huang Feng sent to infiltrate the rebel army were not ordinary people. They were all skilled in martial arts. On the battlefield, perhaps they were not as good as the elite soldiers they had exchanged for earlier. But... They were more powerful in terms of assassination.    

    

At this moment, in the temporary camp at the city gate... Many rebel soldiers had already rested. As they thought about it, the enemy was still far away from them, so there was no need for them to be too nervous. Furthermore, there were patrols on the city walls. And because of this, nothing unexpected would happen here. Everyone was resting early.    

    

However, just as they were getting closer to Zi, there were suddenly many uninvited guests. They were wearing black clothes, hiding their figures in the darkness. Silently approaching the camp, the soldiers in the camp... But no one discovered them.    

    

"Gengci!"    

    

A man in black who was close to the camp skillfully used the dagger in his hand. He cut open a soldier's neck, the sleeping soldier. Only now did he wake up. He wanted to struggle, but it was already too late. His body was tightly held by someone, unable to make any movements. Very quickly, there was no movement at all. He swallowed his last breath.    

    

Such a scene continued to happen within the camp. Many rebel soldiers were killed in their sleep. The few soldiers standing guard were unable to resist at all. They were also killed, and the men in black were wandering around the camp. They were like ghosts, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, constantly harvesting the lives of those soldiers.    

    

Not long after, all the soldiers in the temporary camp were killed. Wang Cheng never would have thought that the elite soldiers he was so proud of... When he met Huang Feng's subordinates, they were so vulnerable. All of them were killed. Even before they died, no one was able to send out a warning.    

    

When there were no other survivors besides the men in black in the camp, the men in black arrived in front of the city gate and slowly pushed open the heavy city gate.    

    

And at this time, it was midnight.    

    

"The city gates are open?!"    

    

The two generals who had been watching the city gates outside the city noticed that the city gates were slowly opening at almost the same time. The two of them looked surprised and happy. The city gate was really like what was written on the paper. It was opened, and the time was at Zi Shi.    

    

The problem now was whether they entered, or not!
