(PS: When I wrote this part of the plot, I already anticipated that people would say the imperial court was too incompetent and the plot too unreasonable: First, why didn't the imperial court send a Martial Saint or True Lord? Yun Shu was seriously injured, while Wenren Zheng and the Azure Blue Iron Cavalry had to guard the capital. The capital involved the National Fortune and was the center of the world, with all the civil and military officials gathered there. Other places could have problems, but this place absolutely could not!
The three remaining ten-thousand-man Imperial Guard Army units included the Azure Frost Army, which had already been mobilized; one had to guard the grasslands, and another had to guard against the Western Continent. Prince Li did not dare use the last one, and there were no other Peak Experts in the martial world who could command them. Second, was the imperial court unprepared for Qiming? If there had been no mole, Bai Yan would not have died. The Chaos Heaven Compass, the Peace Talisman on him, and that star were all measures the imperial court had prepared against Qiming. But if you want to say they could completely counter a True Lord hiding in the shadows and launching sneak attacks, that was impossible.
Third, was it unreasonable for a mole to appear in a key position? Just look at last year's news: a big shot equivalent to the Minister of War was expelled from the Party and public office. Was that rank high enough? Was that position important enough? Problems could appear even there. Compared with reality, the novel was actually much more reasonable.) Lanling City.
