The World is Shocked 140, Envoy from Xiling
On the stage, the two men were so agile that it was hard to tell who would win. The three-foot-long blue sword in Ye Li's hand was like a poisonous snake, attacking Chen Yun's vital points. Chen Yun was not to be outdone, and wielded his long spear perfectly. The two men were in a stalemate for a while. Ye Li looked at the young general opposite with a serious expression, smiled faintly, and the long sword in his hand turned into a cold rainbow and flew straight to Chen Yun's face. Chen Yun quickly swung his gun to block
He tried to block it, but saw the long sword that was originally coming straight at him turned and went along with the gun. After a moment of distraction, Chen Yun felt a chill on his neck. Ye Li's sword tip had already reached his throat, while the other hand was firmly holding the gun.
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Captain Chen?"
Chen Yun put down his gun and bowed in a deep voice, "Princess, your swordsmanship is profound. I admit defeat." Ye Li did not make things difficult for him. He then took back the long sword and threw it to Zhuo Jing who was standing at the side of the stage. He turned around and smiled at the generals below the stage, "Which general still refuses to accept it? Why not come up and give it a try?" The generals looked at each other for a few seconds, and a burly middle-aged man holding two maces jumped onto the stage and bowed, saying:
"I am Lu Feng, the Chizhou lieutenant general of the Mohist Army, and I appreciate your advice, Princess."
Ye Li nodded gently and took two steps back. This General Lu was different from Chen Yun, who was tall and slender and agile. He was definitely a strong opponent. Just looking at his pair of maces, they must be at least several dozen kilograms. It would not be comfortable to be hit by such a weapon. Ye Li was not a person who liked to show off, so she directly showed her most convenient
Lu Feng looked at the dagger in Ye Li's hand with some surprise and said, "Is this the princess's weapon?" Ye Li nodded and said, "General Lu, please."
"Then I'm sorry, Princess. Be careful." After Lu Feng finished speaking, he swung a mace with the force of wind and thunder towards Ye Li. Ye Li quickly moved away, the dagger in her hand flashing a cold light in the morning light.
Everyone in the audience clearly noticed that when Ye Li had a dagger in her hand, it was obviously more dangerous than when she held a long sword. There were several times when Ye Li's dagger narrowly passed by Lu Feng's vital points. If Lu Feng was not so powerful that every move contained an irresistible force that forced her to avoid his sharp edge, Lu Feng would have been injured by the small sword.
Ye Li obviously understood Lu Feng's strengths and weaknesses, so she didn't fight him head-on. Instead, she used her physical advantage to consume Lu Feng's strength while looking for an opportunity to strike. Although she failed to injure Lu Feng, she still managed to scare him. Once again, Lu Feng raised his two maces and smashed them at Ye Li.
, Ye Li moved to the side, kicked in the air, slapped the ground with her left hand, and used her right dagger to strike Lu Feng's left shoulder. Seeing this, Lu Feng quickly raised his right mace, but Ye Li had already flipped behind him in an instant, "General Lu..."
Lu Feng's body froze, the cold dagger was against his back. Having fought for many years, Lu Feng had seen all kinds of injuries, and he also knew that if Ye Li's knife hit him firmly, he would be paralyzed for life. Putting down his two maces, Lu Feng turned around and bowed to Ye Li, saying, "Thank you, Princess, for showing mercy. I am convinced." Ye Li smiled and said, "Lu Feng,
The general is extremely powerful and has extraordinary skills. I admire him very much."
There was silence for a moment, then suddenly there was a burst of applause, and the soldiers on the scene cheered. After winning two games in a row, the generals were convinced of Ye Li's skills, and naturally did not challenge her again. Ye Li had already fought two games in a row, and even if she won, it would be an unfair victory, and she would be left with the reputation of a group of men fighting a woman.
Seeing Ye Li coming down the stage, everyone rushed forward. Lu Jinxian bowed and smiled, "The princess has shown her skills today, and we are really impressed. We are ignorant of the rules and have offended the princess. I hope the princess will not blame us." Ye Li smiled and said, "General Lu, you are too serious. You don't have to take such a small matter to heart. I have some things to deal with in the city, and there are people in the military camp.
General Lu, thank you for your concern." Lu Jinxian quickly responded, "Princess, don't worry." Ye Li nodded, smiled at Yun Ting and said, "Captain Yun..."
Yun Ting touched his head and said with a bitter face: "Princess, I know I was wrong." Ye Li nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. Have you been reading recently?"
Thinking of the days when he was sent to the Mohist Army by the princess and the pile of books in his room that was taller than a person, Yun Ting's smile became even more bitter. "I read it. I just read "Military Strategy." Ye Li's smile became more and more amiable. "The progress is good. It just so happens that I need a few books on military strategy as teaching materials to teach soldiers. Captain Lao Yun, can you copy ten books and give them to me in three days?"
"Yes, Princess." Yun Ting's eyes were wide open, his body was stiff and his expression was dull as he looked at Ye Li and turned away.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Chen Yun, who was standing beside him, looked like he had lost his parents, patted his shoulder and asked.
Yun Ting looked at him silently and turned away. If I fight with you again, I will be nothing but a pig.
Chen Yun looked at his back in confusion as he walked away in despair, and looked at his hands blankly. It was just a fight, no need to be so petty, right? Feng Zhiyao came forward, tapped his shoulder with the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, that kid is really troubled about how to copy books. If Captain Chen has nothing to do, you can help him write a few pages, I guarantee that he will take you as his life from now on."
brother."
"Copying books?" Chen Yun's face twisted a little, and he recalled the scene when he was a child and was chased by his father and teacher to copy books. He shook his head quickly, "Forget it. I'll go see if there is anything to eat, and send it to Captain Yun when he gets tired of copying." As for copying books, forget it, his handwriting is not even presentable.
We were in a hurry when we left the city, but we were not in such a hurry when we returned. Ye Li and his group walked along the way, and also took a look at the checkpoints and the people's situation. Although the war was imminent, the people of Jiangxia seemed to be very at ease. They lived their lives in an orderly manner, as if there was no difference from usual. Even though they had just experienced a bloody battle yesterday, and even almost died, they were still very happy.
People were still going out and opening shops in the early morning, without any sign of the fear and anxiety of war.
Feng Zhiyao walked beside Ye Li, waving his folding fan while explaining Ye Li's doubts: "These people completely trust the Mohist Army from the bottom of their hearts. They believe that as long as the Mohist Army is there, the city will never be lost, and their homes will never be occupied by the enemy."
Ye Li sighed, not knowing whether to praise or worry. The Mohist Army was proud and proud to have such confidence in the people. But... when everyone entrusted all their trust and responsibility to the Mohist Army and relied on them, it was such a heavy pressure. No wonder the successive masters of the Dingguo Palace could never let go of all their achievements.
The Emperor wanted to retire, because the Dingguo Palace and the Mohist Army had already become the spiritual and practical pillars of the Great Chu. If the Mohist Army was no longer the Mohist Army, would the Great Chu still be the Great Chu?
"Princess, the Xiling envoy wants to see you." As soon as he walked out of the gate of the residence, General Yuan Pei was already waiting at the gate. When he saw Ye Li and the others coming back, he hurried forward to report. Ye Li frowned slightly and said, "The Xiling envoy?"
Yuan Pei nodded solemnly and said, "Just now, the Xiling envoy asked for an audience outside the city. I let them in on my own initiative. Now they are waiting for the princess to summon them in the outer courtyard." Ye Li nodded and said, "General Yuan did a good job. Let's go meet this Xiling envoy. Anyone who has the courage to enter Jiangxia at this time must not be an ordinary person. Please invite them to the study."
"yes."
Ye Li changed her clothes and returned to the study. Soon General Yuan Pei came in with the Xiling envoy. The leader was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, followed by a general and three followers. The five people were all dressed in cloth and did not carry swords. They seemed to be full of confidence and not afraid to set foot in this city controlled by the Mohist Army.
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Li, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "I am the guest of the King of Xiling Zhennan. Have you ever met the Princess of Dongchu Dingguo?"
"Mr. Mo, please stand up." Ye Li raised her hand gently and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, what are you doing here?"
Mo Fei looked at the people sitting in the study and said with a smile, "It is true that the King of Zhennan wants to consult the princess about some small matters. But... I wonder if I can talk to the princess alone?" Ye Li smiled and said, "It's not impossible, but it's not necessary. As the temporary commander of the Mohist Army, it is not reasonable for me to have a private conversation with the enemy's envoy. Besides, there is nothing that cannot be said to others. If Mr. Mo has something to say, please speak directly to him."
Zhuo Jing sneered and said, "Talk in private? Who knows if you are looking for an opportunity to assassinate our princess?"
Feng Zhiyao smiled lazily and said, "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to assassinate the princess, but I still have to be on guard against others."
Mo Fei's face looked a little ugly and he wanted to explode, but he quickly held back and looked up at Ye Li and said, "Since the princess said so, I won't force it. I guess the people here are the princess and Dingguo Palace's confidants, right?" Ye Li nodded indifferently. Mo Fei said, "Our prince has a letter for the princess. Please take a look at it."
After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to him. Zhuo Jing took the letter, opened it and checked it to make sure there was no problem before turning around and handing it to Ye Li. Ye Li opened the letter and looked at it for a few seconds, then looked up at Mo Fei standing in the hall with a leisurely look, smiled faintly, and lowered her head to continue reading. After a while, she raised her head and slowly folded the letter and sealed it in the envelope, looking at Mo Fei calmly. Mo Fei smiled and said, "Princess, I wonder what the prince said about the princess?"
"What do you think?" Ye Li smiled, looked at him slowly and said, "Come here, drag this man out and chop him up!"
