Seeing that Li Yi was impulsive and didn't believe him, Cui Lin didn't want to explain anything anymore, so she turned around and left. But Li Ni chased after him and pointed his sword at Cui Lin. Upon seeing this, the Zhenxi Army and Cui Jiajun became angry and stepped forward to duel with each other. Li Yi's eyes turned red with anger, and he stabbed Cui Lin's neck with his sharp sword, causing a drop of blood to fly out. He was also a little flustered, and he suddenly drew back his sword, telling Cui Lin and Cui Jiajun to get out quickly. Cui Lin glared at him fiercely, and then left with Cui Jiajun.
The two teams of Cui Jiajun finally reunited. Liu Chengfeng was very happy and hurriedly asked about Cui Lin's current situation. But Cui Lin accused him of colluding with Sun Jing to seize Aoguan. She didn't take Zhenxi Army as an ally in her eyes at all, and she didn't discuss anything with her. Liu Chengfeng changed his expression and said frankly that he was doing it to understand Yingzhou's urgent needs. Moreover, the Zhenxi Army was just an ally under the city and might become an enemy in the future. Seeing that Cui Lin was still angry, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but ask if it was because she had a crush on Li Yi that he blamed himself so much. Cui Lin was speechless for a moment, unwilling to talk to him, turned around and left.
After losing Aoguan, the Zhenxi Army's next step was to go to Luoyang. But now that the Zhenxi Army was in such a mess, Pei Yuan was afraid that Li Ni's brother would become suspicious. Li Yi felt that the two elder brothers had nothing to fear. As long as Pei Xian still led the army in the rear camp of the Zhenxi Army, they would not dare to act rashly. They might even send someone to pretend to express their condolences. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jun and Li Lai sent someone to deliver supplies. Li Ni smiled softly and ordered his people to accept the food and baggage sent by his two brothers, and rest for a few days before heading to Luoyang.
Here, Li Jun and Li Lai learned that Li Yi had collected the supplies, and they felt that they would definitely surrender and come to defect. At that time, they would blame him for the fall of Aoguan and take back his military power. Now that Li Yi is no longer a thorn in the side, the next step for the two brothers is Cui Jiajun. The last time they teamed up with Cui Li to ambush Cui Lin, they failed. This time, the two Li brothers planned to continue the plan and then blame Li Ni. With this in mind, the two of them quickly wrote a letter to Li Yi, urging him to return to Luoyang as soon as possible.
Soon, news came that Sun Jing's southern expedition to Baiyue had failed. Although Sun Jing had ordered the news to be blocked, the more so, the faster the news spread. In this way, those forces that are ready to move will feel that Sun Jing is short of manpower at this time, and will take the opportunity to jump out and fight back. But both Li Ni and Cui Lin felt that it might also be Sun Jing's plan. He just wanted to lure out the fish behind him by pretending to be defeated. It's better to seize this opportunity now and take advantage of it.
Lao Bao got the news that the two brothers of the Li family planned to join forces with Cui Li to ambush the Cui family army, so he went to ask Li Yi if he wanted to save him. Li Ni was very decisive and said he would not help. But on this day, he still changed direction and came to the area where they set up an ambush. The cold light struck into the wooden pile, sending up pieces of sawdust. The sawdust was like a thick smoke, covering Cui Lin's eyes and burning her face. When Cui Lin came to her senses, the cold light was already approaching her. Cui Lin subconsciously raised the sword in her hand and tried her best to block the thief's sword.
Li Ni rode his horse and stood in the distance, aiming his bow and arrow at the thief who wanted to stab Cui Lin. Cui Lin took the opportunity to turn from passive to active and gained the upper hand. But the other thief suddenly stood up and swung his sword towards Cui Lin. Liu Chengfeng noticed it in time, stood up and pushed Cui Lin away, protecting her with his body. After killing all the thieves, Cui Lin looked at the place where Liu Chengfeng fell in despair, feeling extremely sad in her heart. Seeing that Li Yi was late, she couldn't help but feel a little angry and accused Li Yi of being late on purpose. Unexpectedly, Li Yi actually admitted it himself.
Later, Li Ni struck while the iron was hot and wrote a letter to Cui Yi, using Ah Ying as a threat and planning to attack Xichangjing with him. Cui Yi was extremely angry, but he could only agree. But he had one condition: the Zhenxi Army had to capture Cui Li alive.
