Princess Anle personally chose the ambush location and arranged the ambushes, selecting only the elite troops. Everything was perfect.

But now, of the hundred-strong ambush force he sent out, very few have returned!

He found it unbelievable when he heard the screams from over there.

He still can't quite accept this situation.

Eunuch Yu advised him, "Princess, Junfei was a madman that night, and their weapons far surpass ours."

"Given the current situation, if we don't back down now, it might be too late."

Princess Anle took a deep breath and said, "Retreat!"

Grandpa Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also a little depressed.

He was just an eunuch who came to deliver an imperial decree, and given the current situation, it seemed he wouldn't be able to return to the capital anytime soon.

When he was in the capital, he thought Princess Anle was very capable, but after Princess Anle met Ye Junfei, she suffered several losses in a row.

Princess Anle ordered her men to change formation, turning the front ranks into the rear ranks to cover his retreat.

When Ye Junfei led his men to attack, Princess Anle had already fled far away with her entourage.

He said coldly, "You run really fast."

Lin Xiuyan had a very bad impression of Princess Anle; if she could, she would like to chop him up with a knife.

She then said, "He has a lot of men under his command now, and given his status, it's not easy for him to make a move."

"He'll eventually run into our hands, and then we'll kill him!"

Ye Junfei looked at her, and she felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Ye Junfei shook his head and said, "I'm a little surprised that you're also willing to fight and kill, especially since you wouldn't let me kill Yu Zhan yesterday."

Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "I just don't want you to kill innocent people indiscriminately. It's not like I'm stopping you from killing scum like An Le and Zhou Chenyang."

"I've always been able to distinguish between these kinds of things."

She was only afraid that he would kill strangers at the slightest disagreement, just like in her previous life; she never intended to prevent him from killing.

Ye Junfei smiled slightly at her: "I'll listen to you."

He spoke in a very gentle voice. Wu Ge rarely saw him speak like that. He sighed inwardly, thinking that only the Crown Princess could keep the Crown Prince in check.

"Tsk tsk!" Yu Zhan's voice came: "You guys are so cheesy."

Lin Xiuyan turned her head and saw Yu Zhan standing not far away with several guards, obviously having just arrived.

Yu Zhan then said to Ye Junfei, "Your Highness's methods are superb, and your martial prowess is extraordinary. I admire you greatly."

"But if the prince wants to kill me, it won't be that easy."

Ye Junfei said calmly, "If you obey my orders, I will naturally not harm you."

"If you have any thoughts you shouldn't have, I can kill you at any time."

Yu Zhan chuckled and said, "Princess Anle has gone to great lengths to win me over. I think the Crown Prince should not threaten me at this time, but should be more polite to me."

Ye Junfei asked, "If I'm polite to you, will you obediently listen to me?"

Before Yu Zhan could answer, he continued, "Given your personality, if I were to be polite to you, you would probably become even more arrogant and try to bully me."

Yu Zhan touched his nose and then smiled, "That seems to make some sense."

Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "Stop being so pretentious. Princess Anle's appearance here is most likely your doing."

"We've driven him away now, demonstrating our capabilities."

“The fact that the Crown Prince and I came to see you together shows our sincerity.”

"Find a place for us to sit down and discuss the specific details of our future cooperation."

Yu Zhan laughed and said, "Okay!"

If Yu Zhan had thought that Ye Junfei's defeat of Princess Anle was somewhat opportunistic when they were in the town that day, it would be a different story.

Today's events demonstrate Ye Junfei's absolute strength; he was able to see through Princess Anle's pre-arranged plans and turn defeat into victory.

Those who went to inquire had already reported to her that Ye Junfei had not even stepped into Princess Anle's encirclement.

They used some unknown method to force all of Princess Anle's men, who had been lying in ambush, to jump off a cliff.

Although Yu Zhan felt that this matter was most likely Lin Xiuyan's doing, Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei were husband and wife, so there was no need to distinguish between them too clearly.

The group headed towards the military camp. Taking advantage of Ye Junfei's inattention, Yu Zhan leaned close to Lin Xiuyan and whispered, "Are you really not going to consider my suggestion from the other day?"

Lin Xiuyan smiled: "Anyone who tries to sow discord between me and the Crown Prince is my enemy."

"General Yu, do you want to be my friend or my enemy?"

Yu Zhan's expression froze. Lin Xiuyan ignored her, walked to Ye Junfei's side, and took his arm.

Yu Zhan inexplicably felt a soreness in his teeth.

She is a smart person, and she sees many things very clearly.

Although Lin Xiuyan didn't say anything that day, she could tell that there was a problem between Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei.

The couple still weren't particularly close today, but there seemed to be a strange kind of trust between them.

Yu Zhan smiled and said, "The affection between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess is truly profound, making one quite envious!"

The moment Ye Junfei took Lin Xiuyan's arm, his peach blossom eyes lit up.

He was in a great mood at the moment, and even Yu Zhan seemed more pleasing to the eye than before.

He looked at Lin Xiuyan with a smile, his gaze warm yet intense.

She gave him a light pinch on the waist, and he chuckled softly, saying nothing, but a smile spread across his eyes.

Yu Zhan had initially suspected that they were putting on an act in front of her, but seeing their current appearance, she gave a slight grin.

She was initially a little hungry, but now she felt a bit bloated.

The subsequent discussions progressed relatively smoothly overall. Ye Junfei agreed to provide money and provisions to support Yu Zhan's army, and Yu Zhan would help him fight when necessary.

However, when it came to the idea of ​​Ye Junfei taking more than two thousand men from Yu Zhan's army to fill the Thirteenth Battalion, Yu Zhan was reluctant.

Yu Zhan crossed his arms and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for the young master to send two thousand people as soon as he arrives?"

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it,” Ye Junfei said gently. “You asked me to help you raise your army, but you only promised vague and uncertain assistance.”

"General Yu, your sincerity in this cooperation is not enough, and your calculations are too ambitious."

Yu Zhan's gaze narrowed slightly, and Ye Junfei continued, "General Yu is a smart man, and he should understand that cooperation requires mutual benefit and that each party gets what they need."

Yu Zhan said calmly, "It's a win-win situation, but the fact that so many of my people have to leave as soon as the young master arrives makes me need to think about this again."

Ye Junfei said very understandingly, "General Yu, take your time to think it over. You can come to me anytime once you've thought it through."

After he finished speaking, he said to Lin Xiuyan, "Let's go."

Lin Xiuyan nodded slightly. She knew that after what happened today, Yu Zhan had already offended Princess Anle and had no other choice.
