Mo Yunhan's already cold face darkened even more.

The surrounding soldiers instantly forgot what they were supposed to do and all blinked to watch the spectacle.

It wasn't until Wang Hao was helped off the car by Li Dou, his body covered in blood, that everyone was brought back to their senses.

"A military doctor!"

Mo Yunhan called out and strode towards Jiang Qingwan, taking her hand and leading her to his room.

Luo Jiu was in a hurry to talk about business, so he took two steps after her, holding the iron hook, but Su Liuer grabbed him.

"Sir, what are you doing following a couple having a late-night chat?"

The voice wasn't lowered, and everyone around heard it.

Qin Minglang watched longingly, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Inside the room, Mo Yunhan's expression remained unchanged.

"I'll go back first thing tomorrow morning; it's not safe here."

Jiang Qingwan broke free from his hand, found a chair, and sat down, her pretty face scrunched up.

"You came because you knew it wasn't safe, and you traveled such a long distance overnight, yet you didn't say a single nice word to me."

Mo Yunhan's heart softened.

But the situation outside is too complicated right now, and he doesn't have time for tenderness.

"Go lie down in bed for a while, I'll be back after I finish what I need to do."

Jiang Qingwan called out to him.

"Go and get me a topographical map of Qingfeng Village, the more detailed the better."

Mo Yunhan nodded, then turned and left the room, immediately calling Lian'er in to serve him.

The military doctor had already treated Wang Hao's wound, and hadn't even had time to wipe the blood off his hands.

"Your Highness, Vice General Wang is very fortunate. His internal organs were not damaged, but he has lost too much blood and needs to rest well."

Wang Hao, shirtless and with gauze wrapped around his waist, rushed out of the makeshift tent.

“I don’t need to rest. These bastards killed so many of my brothers. I have to participate in this battle.”

At this moment, Luo Jiu hurriedly interrupted.

"The issue now is not whether to fight or not, the key now is to break this trap formation."

Qin Minglang looked at him suspiciously.

"Who is this old gentleman? He seems to know a lot about government agencies?"

Luo Jiu was completely focused on the mechanism at the moment and didn't think much about it. He subconsciously wanted to introduce himself.

Su Liuer suddenly interrupted him.

"The old gentleman and I were both invited by the princess. He is skilled in mechanical arts and is known as Master Shui. My name is Xiang Liu, a young swordsman."

Ye Qi silently gazed at the sky, standing to the side without uttering a word.

Qin Minglang felt something was wrong, but he had never met Luo Jiu before and naturally couldn't recognize her.

Hearing this, they could only suppress their doubts for the time being.

Mo Yunhan remained extremely calm.

"Night Seven, take a few men and guard the city gate. Be careful and stay hidden. If there is any enemy activity, immediately set off fireworks."

"yes!"

Ye Qi accepted the order, selected a few people, and hurriedly left.

After he left, Mo Yunhan led everyone to look at the disc made of golden hook scimitars that Li Dou and the others had carried in.

Wang Hao got angry just looking at this thing.

The blood on it made his eyes red.

"This thing spins very fast, and I don't know what controls it, but it can evade, turn, and track attacks. If it were used in large numbers on the battlefield, it would be invincible and pose a huge threat."

Everyone's expression turned grim upon hearing this.

Although they did not bring enough soldiers to suppress the bandits, they were equipped with the latest machinery and equipment, so they were originally full of confidence.

But now, the machine gun chariots were damaged before they could even break through the city gates, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed.

The squad guarding the city gate at midnight was wiped out by such a sophisticated mechanical disc.

This is a devastating blow to morale.

One of the lieutenants looked at Luo Jiu.

"Master Shui, you are a master of mechanisms, do you have a way to break this strange thing?"

Luo Jiu glared at him.

Since the entire Luo family died, he rarely went out and rarely paid attention to others.

Hearing this, she did not answer, but simply cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to Mo Yunhan.

"The Princess brought me here to help the Prince break out of this predicament, but the specific method will depend on the Princess."

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

The fact that Mo Yunhan married Qin Minglang's discarded wife as his princess was nothing new.

They had just witnessed firsthand the delicate and graceful figure of the Ninth Princess.

Could he be a hidden master?

Many people turned to look at Qin Minglang, clearly wanting confirmation from him.

Qin Minglang, seemingly oblivious, frowned and said seriously,

“I have known Wanwan for many years. She is just a merchant’s daughter who knows a little about business. I have never heard of her knowing anything about mechanical arts. Master Shui, this concerns the soldiers and secret guards. If you really have any skills, then show them. You must not talk nonsense just to show off the princess’s status.”

Upon hearing this, the soldiers' hearts sank again.

Mo Yunhan gave Qin Minglang a cold look.

"You haven't heard this because my queen has never confided in you."

Qin Minglang was unwilling to give up, so he gave a perfunctory cupped-hand salute.

"According to Your Highness, Wanwan is surely capable of breaking this deadlock?"

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind swept by, and Qin Minglang's hair that was hanging down by his ears was cut off.

The murderous aura that swept over him was as sharp as a slap in the face.

"If you dare call the Princess by her childhood name again, I don't know where my next slap will land!"

Qin Minglang feigned a wronged look, his eyes reddening as he bowed deeply.

"I acted rashly out of concern. Your Highness, please consider the bigger picture and do not delay military operations."

Both of the deputy generals sided with Qin Minglang.

"Yes, Your Highness, resolving the immediate trouble is the most important thing right now."

"Why don't we ask the Princess to come out and discuss a solution?"

Wang Hao glared angrily.

"What? It's a man's nature to shed blood on the battlefield. Are you so afraid of dying that you have to rely on a woman? Aren't you ashamed! If you ask me, interrogate the people in the city thoroughly. They are definitely hiding something. Otherwise, the enemy wouldn't have launched such a night attack on the city gate tonight."
