Seeing that the situation was within his grasp, a tinge of joy surfaced in Lin Qing's eyes. Her gaze also involuntarily turned towards Qu Ming. After this battle, the Alliance would become his enemy. Even though victory was in sight, he could not underestimate it.

Lin Qing and Qu Ming shared the same thought. After this battle, they would lose their common enemy and turn into a civil war.

There was a lot of animosity between the two factions. Previously, there had been an enemy from the government suppressing it, so even though the two of them were enemies, it was impossible for them to truly kill each other.

Now that the enemies had gone, it was time for the two of them to settle their grudges. At that time, it was obvious that they could not predict what would happen.

Just when Qu Ming and Lin Qing thought that the situation was completely under control, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded out from outside. The next thing they saw was sabers and soldiers appearing, flashing with a cold light.

Upon seeing this, both Lin Qing and Qu Ming's hearts couldn't help but change. They couldn't help but retreat as they looked outside the courtyard door.

As for Long Xiaotian, he seized this opportunity to catch his breath and also fell to the side.

After a while, three large men dressed in black silk clothing jumped out. Their bodies were sturdy and powerful, bringing with them a strong killing intent. Even Qu Ming and Lin Qing could not help but narrow their eyes when they saw this scene.

Behind him followed an orderly line of troops, all of which were carrying sabers and soldiers on their right, a crossbow on their left, and an iron shield on their back. If they dressed like this, they would weigh no more than thirty to forty kilograms, but these people seemed to be accustomed to it, as if they didn't feel the weight at all.

If there were only one or two of them, it could be said to be an exception. However, if the hundred or so people that had rushed in were like this, then it would truly be terrifying.

When Lin Qing's gaze landed on the faces of the three people who had leapt over, his expression changed as he shouted, "Dragon Cavalry!"

After hearing what Lin Qing said, Qu Ming, who was standing at the side, was also taken aback. The Dragon Cavalry had always been a secret army of the Chu Country. How could they be here?

After all, this was only a small town, and the Tiger Gang and Green Bamboo Gang were small gangs that did not stand on ceremony, so how could they possibly attract the attention of these people?

When the three men heard Lin Qing call out their identities, they couldn't help but feel surprised. They glanced at Lin Qing and confirmed that they had never seen this person before. They became even more puzzled. Then, how did this person know who they were? This made the three leaders of the Dragon Cavalry even more curious.

However, although he was curious about this, he was even more curious about Lin Qing and Qu Ming's martial arts.

They had heard of Long Xiao Tian's name before. After all, he was a disciple of the current Imperial Advisors, and even if he was one of their unremarkable disciples, his martial arts could not be compared with that of ordinary people. But the two people in front of them were able to beat up Long Xiao Tian so badly that they couldn't even lift their heads.

As for the three of them, it wasn't really a surprise for them to be here. After all, the current Imperial Advisors were like gods of war in Chu, and their every move would attract the attention of everyone in the imperial court. As their disciples, the whereabouts of Long Xiaotian would attract the attention of many, and the three of them would be sent by some people to watch Long Xiao Tian for a long time.

Although the three of them did not deliberately inquire about Long Xiaotian's movements in the past few days, they knew most of it. They also knew that Long Xiaotian had taken so long to wipe out a small gang.

Seeing the arrival of the Dragon Cavalry Army, Long Xiao Tian's complexion didn't look good. He coldly said: "Zuo Baihu, Qin Baihu, and Hao Baihu, what are you doing waiting here?"

Hearing Long Xiaotian's question, the three Dragon Cavalrymen looked toward Long Xiaotian with a cold sneer on their faces. "The current Imperial Advisors truly aren't worth it. How could they have such a disciple?"

Hearing this, Long Xiao Tian's eyes immediately turned red. He pointed his Heaven's Son Sword at the three of them and said with killing intent, "Say it again."

In regards to Long Xiaotian, they were not afraid of him. However, upon thinking that Long Xiaotian was, after all, the disciple of the current Imperial Advisor, so it would not be good if they were to clash with him. Thus, the three other Imperial Knights only smiled and didn't say anything more.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Qing's eyes flickered. She knew that the relationship between the two parties wasn't that harmonious. From this, it was likely that the relationship between the Imperial Advisors and the Imperial Family wasn't as harmonious as she had imagined.

Following the arrival of the Dragon Cavalry army, the members of the Tiger Gang and the officials also couldn't help but stop. They looked at each other with alert.

In just this short period of time, the Tiger Gang had lost a lot of men and even more were injured. However, this was also something that could not be helped, as the elite members of the Tiger Gang had already lost too much, while the strength of their soldiers was just like before. In this way, it was understandable that they would not be a match for Lin Ming.

However, the key to victory in this battle was not the ordinary members of the Tiger Gang. Therefore, Lin Qing did not pay much attention to this matter before. She only wanted Lin Qing to delay the troops for a while.

After all, although Lin Qing and Qu Ming were very strong, they would not be able to pose much of a threat to Lin Qing and Qu Ming if there were not many soldiers surrounding them.

Although the officers and soldiers were strong, they were unable to eliminate the members of the Tiger Gang within a short period of time. With this amount of time, it was enough for Lin Qing to join hands with Qu Ming and capture Long Xiaotian.

Lin Qing was caught unprepared by the sudden appearance of more than a hundred Dragon Cavalry Soldiers.

Lin Qing being so, Qu Ming's expression was currently rather unsightly. After all, defeating a common enemy, Long Xiaotian, was a common request. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that things were far from good.

More importantly, with the addition of the Dragon Cavalry, the remaining members of the Tiger Gang might not be able to escape.

Once the Tiger Gang was annihilated, leaving behind the Green Bamboo Gang, it would be hard to support them.

Therefore, although Qu Ming knew the situation was bad, he did not immediately retreat. Moreover, Qu Ming was confident in his own strength. He believed that even if he could not defeat Ye Xiwen, he could still escape.

Just as Lin Qing and Qu Ming were hesitating, Long Xiaotian and the three Dragon Cavalry Troops seemed to have discussed something and turned their gazes towards Lin Qing and Qu Ming.

However, looking at the unsightly expression on Long Xiao Tian's face, if his guess was correct, then this Long Xiao Tian must not have had a good ending.

Lin Qing involuntarily gripped the sharp sword in her hand when she saw that his eyes were fixated on her. Her eyes flickered slightly, and it was unknown as to what she was thinking.
