The rebels had already surrounded the royal city!
When he heard that, Xiao Lin had thought that Liang Taibai was joking, but Liang Taibai's eyes were red and his face was frantic, letting Xiao Lin know it was not the time for jokes.
Xiao Lin quickly put on his clothes, and followed Liang Taibai into the palace.
"Did we not say during the day that the rebels were still a month away, and we also had the royal army to hold them off. How could they be here already?"
"We're looking into it, but it's not the time to think about it now." Liang Taibai sighed.
"How many troops are in the royal city?" Xiao Lin guessed something from Liang Taibai's expression.
"There are still three thousand troops."
"How about the rebels?"
"We're still not clear on the details, but by the approximation of the guards, there are at least twenty thousand of them."
