Chapter 1037 -1033: I Won’t Stop Until I’ve Burned The State Preceptor To Ashes_1
“Miss Lin, we’ve received word from contacts within the city. They’ve prepared everything, and will use smoke bombs as a signal at midnight to cooperate with our army in attacking and opening the city gates from the inside.”
“Alright.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes flashed inscrutably as she nodded slightly.
“Master, are we attacking the city tonight?”
Shitou, with his keen hearing, brightened at the mention of the plan and eagerly joined in the conversation.
“Indeed,”
Lin Qingluo’s gorgeous face was solemn: “The essence of military operations is speed. Our army is rushing through the hundred miles, marching rapidly to seize Jiankang City before the Beiqi reinforcements arrive.”
“How exciting!”
Shitou rubbed his hands together in excitement: “It’s time for me to shine again.”
Feng Yi rolled his eyes at him: “It’s Brother Meng who’ll shine, you, just stand aside.”
“I also contributed to breaking down the city gates.”
Shitou retorted, but before he could boast more, he was interrupted by their Junior Master.
“You three come over here, I have instructions for you.”
“Coming.”
The three young men perked up immediately and gathered around.
Ji Liuyun was ruthlessly pushed aside.
The elegant eldest son smiled wryly and dismounted, finding a relatively spacious spot to settle down and rest.
“Jiankang is the capital of the Beiqi Kingdom, its defense is indeed tight, moreover, they have their state preceptor watching over. Even with inside help, breaking the city gates won’t be as easy as you imagine.”
Lin Qingluo paid no heed to his underlying disappointment and solemnly instructed her three apprentices: “Tonight, when we siege the city…”
“Hmm, hmm.”
The three apprentices listened attentively and kept nodding.
“Have you remembered?”
Lin Qingluo asked with a stern face.
“We remember.”
The three apprentices patted their chests in reassurance.
“Good, go rest now.”
Lin Qingluo nodded satisfied, “Stay sharp. Tonight we make a big move, taking over the Imperial Palace in one go and capturing the Beiqi Monarch alive.”
“How thrilling!”
All three apprentices got more confident, inspired by their Junior Master’s spirits.

“Master, something doesn’t seem right inside Jiankang City.”
Little Kingfisher was very fast; it flew a round around Jiankang City and quickly returned the message.
“What happened?”
Upon hearing the divine message, Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Logically, the residents should be agitated with enemy forces besieging their city, preparing to attack. The public mood should either express anger towards the enemy and defend their homes, or be in fear and flight, escaping the fire of war.”
“In any case, it should be chaotic, like a pot of stir-fry.”
Little Kingfisher was perplexed, “But Jiankang City is different. People are hiding in their homes, doors and windows tightly shut. There’s not a soul in the streets, and the city’s deathly quiet as if it’s a ghost town.”
The beautiful eyebrows of Lin Qingluo creased tightly: “Ask the Birds what’s happened in the city recently?”
“Alright.”
As soon as Little Kingfisher received the instructions, it immediately summoned the birds.
“Chirp.” “Coo.” “Quack.”
In no time, a flock of birds were flying from all directions, chirping around the Divine Beast Baby.
Mixed within them were sad complaints.
“Chirp.”
Hearing the complaints, Little Kingfisher got extremely furious, its soft feathers ruffled.
“Chirp Chirp,”
One bird started, the rest followed accusing the state preceptor of his atrocities.
“Master, it’s unbearable.”
Moments later, Lin Qingluo distinctly heard her adorable pet’s rare lament in a small voice: “Kill the state preceptor, burn him to ashes, or I will not rest.”
“What happened?”
Lin Qingluo felt a sense of unease.
“The state preceptor has gone against humanity, forcing the Beiqi monarch to steal infants from the people for his evil cultivation practice.”
