Lan Yu responded to everyone with an air of majesty, and even in this secluded courtyard, his imperial aura was undeniable.

General Liu led Lan Yu and the others into the inner hall to discuss the surprise attack.

General Liu said excitedly, "Lord of the city, with you here, we all have a pillar of support. Once the supplies are ready, we can take action!"

Just then, someone came to report: "General, something terrible has happened! Our grain transport team has been hijacked!"

General Liu was greatly surprised and beat his chest, saying, "Without food and weapons, what are we going to do? Lord, you rest first. I will lead men to break into the elite cavalry camp and seize their food and supplies!"

After saying that, he was in high spirits and was about to gather his troops when Lan Yu stopped him with a look and said, "General Liu, don't panic. Make the arrangements. We will launch a general offensive tomorrow night and we will definitely capture Qin Xiao alive and take back Lanling!"

"Lord of the City..." General Liu hesitated. He knew that with the supply train hijacked, Qin Xiao must have anticipated their movements. Now was the best time for a surprise attack. However, the soldiers were unarmored, unarmed, and starving. How could they fight?

Lan Yu lowered her eyes: "General Liu, 77 has already found a way to transport the grain and military equipment. You just need to make the arrangements!"

General Liu was overjoyed and immediately made arrangements. Lan Yu and Tang 77, having traveled for days, were exhausted and went back to their room to rest.

Lan Yu had just finished washing up and had only glanced at the military treatise when Tang 77 arrived.

"Brother Lanyu, are you asleep yet?" Tang 77 asked, peeking out from outside.

Before she could finish speaking, Lan Yu had already opened the door, her eyes full of doting affection as she said, "Come in! What's wrong, are you scared?"

Tang 77 rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you looking down on me? I, Tang 77, am not easily intimidated. I have important business with you!"

Lan Yu asked in a good-natured manner, "What brilliant idea has 77 come up with this time?"

Tang 77 blinked her mischievous big eyes and said, "Uncle Liu's words reminded me. Let's go and steal the equipment from Qin Xiaoxiao's cavalry. It's only right to return the favor!"

Lan Yu rubbed her head and said, "Our 77 is so smart. This isn't urgent. You're tired too, so get some sleep!"

Lan Yu pouted and said coquettishly, "Brother Lan Yu, you're such a spoilsport! If I didn't know how to scale walls, I would have gone by myself long ago. If you won't come with me, I'll go find Uncle Liu!"

After saying that, I felt a little embarrassed. It's strange, but in front of Lan Yu, my mental age really does become younger, and I always unconsciously act cute towards him!

Lan Yu pulled Tang 77 over, helped her sit down, and patiently said, "I know 77 wants to help me, but if we take away the weapons and armor of the Xiaoji Camp today, won't that tell Qin Xiao that we're going to make a move?"

Tang 77 was extremely embarrassed. He only thought about disarming the other party, but he didn't expect that this would alert the enemy. Strange, how come he didn't think of such an obvious loophole!

Seeing Tang 77 looking dejected, Lan Yu quickly comforted her, saying, "77's idea is great. Once the operation begins, we'll disarm them."

Lan Yu's words made Tang 77 even angrier. She thought Lan Yu was treating her like an idiot. Ever since meeting Lan Yu, her glorious moments as a transmigrator had ended, and she had been making a fool of herself one after another.

Tang 77 glared at Lan Yu with a stern face, then stormed back to her room. It was all because of his devilishly handsome face that she felt so stupid.

Lan Yu was completely bewildered. Had she angered her again? She really was just a child!

The next morning, Lan Yu and Tang 77 appeared in the courtyard on time. General Liu had already gathered the leaders of all the tribes and said in a passionate voice, "Brothers, today the city lord has returned, and the time has come to destroy the Qin traitors!"

Lan Yu, dressed in full military uniform, his silver armor gleaming in the sunlight, stood tall and resolute on his handsome face. He raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, we have endured humiliation and hardship for years, all for this day! Let us press on with one heart and one mind, and we will surely break through the palace, capture the Qin traitors alive, and restore a peaceful and prosperous era to Lanling!"

The leaders responded in low voices: "Capture the Qin traitor alive and recapture Lanling!" Although their voices were very low, they were full of passion.

Lan Yu gave another explanation, and Tang 77, taking advantage of this opportunity, led by Li Fei, distributed the weapons to their various strongholds so that they could collect them.

Looking around, Lanling City appears to be just like any other day, with everyone busy making a living. But in reality, thousands of people in the city are preparing for the night's operation.

Brother Zhang, the blacksmith, greeted his neighbor warmly, saying he was going to close early to attend his friend's daughter's wedding. In the blink of an eye, he was there with his hammer in hand, waiting with a group of brothers.

The tailor shop owner, upon hearing that his wife had suddenly suffered from angina, rushed home. His wife had already prepared everything, waiting for him to go to war.

Qin Xiao, who had colluded with the Lord of Yumen City and obtained the position of Lord through despicable means, had not had a moment's peace of mind since he heard the news that Lan Yu was still alive.

He was paranoid, searching and hunting in four different places, and he didn't know how many innocent people he had mistakenly killed.

Now, apart from the elite cavalry soldiers waiting inside the city, the remaining 100,000 troops are stationed outside the city. Qin Xiao must spare no effort to block Lan Yu outside the city and eliminate him, because he fears that if the people inside the city see Lan Yu, they will all rise up and rebel against him.
