The matter is far from over; it has just begun.
At Li Yunjing's villa, Zhao Qi and Su Muqing also heard the commotion and even learned about the incident through the neighbors.
Despite their anxiety, the two women knew that Li Yunjing was tired and did not wake him from the bedroom.
While Li Yunjing was sound asleep, at dusk, the three major armies of the "Chang'an Dynasty" had completed the encirclement of "Purple Cloud City."
A million-strong army barely surrounded the colossal city spanning thousands of miles!
To the east was the "Mighty Army," to the west the "Imperial Army," and to the south the border army, leaving the north with only a lake, devoid of stationed troops.
Yet, the lake hid lethal perils, as the "Punishment Department," "Observatory Department," "Clan Office," and "Sacrificial Hall"—all sent masters to the frontlines to aid the grand army's endeavor.
Three sides surrounded, one side open!
Any attempt to escape via the waterway was a surefire path to death.
