Chapter 359: The War Horse that Lord Lu Longed For

The prince shook off Lu Chenyang's hand and said in a deep voice, "I will lead my troops to Ningzhou to attack the Yilin Army. The next one I will face is Lu Xueyin. There will be a battle between her and me." He looked at him with a deep gaze, "I don't want to force you to make a choice, so if I lose, I will let you go."

But with his pride, how could he admit defeat? If he lost, he would die.

Lu Chenyang shuddered and gave a bitter laugh. "Aren't you forcing me to make a choice by saying this? You know perfectly well that I can't just watch you die." He couldn't help but ask, "Can't...can't we just have a good talk? Even Da Gan can negotiate peace with the Tatars..."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, "Yes, are you sure you can persuade Lu Xueyin to give up her evil ambitions? As long as she is willing to be a good subject, I will definitely not treat her unfairly. I can even make her a king."

Lu Chenyang stopped talking. Knowing his sister, he knew she would never submit to anyone. Moreover... he felt that the Crown Prince's ability was not enough to make Lu Xueyin submit to him.

Lu Chenyang suddenly said, "I want to go with you."

The prince was stunned for a moment, "No..." He refused subconsciously.

Lu Chenyang said, "Your Highness, I am not capable of resolving the conflict between you and Xue Yin, but Your Highness actually forced me to stay here, and now I cannot stay out of it."

The prince was silent for a moment, he was still sad because he was not on his side after all.

Although I know that they are family and that he would make this choice, I still feel sad.

When the first batch of war horses arrived at Yanhui Pass, Lu Xueyin decided to set off for Ningzhou to attack the Yilin Army. This time, she finally got the war horse she had always dreamed of, and she was so beautiful.

Who would understand? It was late autumn, and the weather was especially cold at the border, but Lord Lu was very strong and rode on his horse. He was shivering with cold and refused to get in the carriage.

Lu Xueyin sat on the horse's back and couldn't help but touch the horse's mane with an expression of reluctance to let go.

Ji Ping, who was following next to them, accidentally saw it and couldn't help but shudder. He felt that Lu Xueyin's eyes were very scary.

A horse next to her looked at Lu Xueyin with resentment.

Lu Xueyin noticed this, turned her head, and said soothingly, "Dabai, don't be jealous. I still have you in my heart. But you know, how can a general have only one horse? You came here first, so be more generous."

Ji Ping couldn't help but twitch his lips. Listen, what kind of scumbag woman's words are these?

Dabai was Lu Xueyin's first warhorse. He was her beloved daughter, even grooming her personally. However, after the Tatars sent him a warhorse, Dabai's status was no longer secure. With a new love, Lu Xueyin had forgotten her old one and had been cultivating her relationship with him for the past few days.

Dabai has always been the favored one, but now he has suddenly fallen out of favor, and the whole Ma family is in trouble.

By the way, Dabai isn't a white horse, but a small black one. But Lu Xueyin had always wanted a pure white horse; it would be so beautiful and majestic. To fulfill her dream, even though it was a black horse, Lu Xueyin named it Dabai.

And now Lu Xueyin's new love, Xiaobai, is a real white horse. There is not a single stray hair on its body, and it is completely snow-white. Lu Xueyin looks really beautiful when she rides on the horse.

It’s no wonder that Lord Lu is partial.

Lu Xueyin maintained a good mood all the way to Ningzhou until she received news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led an army of 100,000 to Ningzhou to attack the Yilin Army.

Lu Xueyin received the news at night when the entire army was stationed. She received the news sent by the spies in the capital in her tent.

She sneered, "He's not conserving his strength at this time."

Zu Xingwei's pertinent comment: "Shameless!"

Ji Ping sneered: "It's hindsight!"

Lu Xueyin couldn't help but look at the two of them with disdain. The disdain in her eyes was so obvious that the two of them couldn't pretend not to see it.

The two felt very innocent.

Lu Xueyin sighed. Ah, she really missed Mr. Qian, Mr. Gao, and Mr. Chen.

There are still too few staff members around her, and none of them are smart. It is really tiring for these generals to communicate with them.

Lu Xueyin sighed lightly. If the gentlemen were here, they would definitely be able to see the intention behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions.

This is directed at her.

It seems that the fight between her and the prince will start earlier.

Lu Xueyin immediately wrote a letter to Gao Ming, asking him to contact several leaders of the Yilin Army in advance to see if they could be won over. If not, then to begin dismantling them from within. A multi-pronged approach: win them over first, then dismantle them, and then use military force to defeat the rest.

They had to act in advance and not wait until the prince took action, otherwise they would be passive. They had to take down the Yilin Army before the prince.

This is why Lu Xueyin wanted Gao Ming to go to Ningzhou.

Lu Xueyin had never forgotten the Yilin Army; she hadn't taken action before simply because the timing wasn't right. But with this hidden danger, she couldn't rest easy. So, she sent Gao Ming over there just to make it easier for her to take action.

Gao Ming is the gentleman whom Lu Xueyin trusts and respects the most, and he is placed in this important position.

The letter was sent out at full speed. The soldiers who delivered the letter knew that the matter was of great importance, so they continued to rush forward despite the freezing wind. Several horses died on the way, but they still managed to deliver the letter to Gao Ming as quickly as possible.
