The Brocade Guard quickly spread the news that Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie were in Lingyun City. To avoid arousing suspicion from Xu Xingwen and Zhan Hong, there was a noticeably larger number of soldiers stationed near Lingyun City than usual.
At this time, Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen were still unaware that Lingyun City was a trap. Upon learning that Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie were there, they were very pleased, as they were just about to pass through Lingyun City.
Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen immediately began to prepare. They selected some elite soldiers and then disguised themselves as merchants, heading towards Lingyun City.
To make themselves look more like merchants, they directly robbed a merchant caravan and even killed all of the caravan's people.
Perhaps it was because their caravan did have goods, when they passed through the gates of Lingyun City, the soldiers only briefly checked and then let them through.
