Wen Shifeng also quickly reorganized his troops, selecting 20,000 elite soldiers, dividing them into four groups, and sending them one after the other to the northern frontier.
Although he didn't understand why Ye Qingcheng was doing this, he was now completely captivated by her.
Therefore, he would do whatever Ye Qingcheng said without even thinking.
This way.
Ye Qingcheng had barely left Jiangnan when assassins ambushed and attacked her.
At this moment, she was focused on Qin Mohan and didn't waste words with the assassins. She attacked with lightning speed and ruthlessness, killing them in just a few moves without Ning Xin and Qing Yi even having to lift a finger.
However, assassins appeared frequently along the way, one after another. Although she was decisive in killing them, it also affected her travel speed.
Fortunately, it's alright.
Three days later.
She then went to the northern frontier.
At this moment, the border city was completely surrounded by enemy troops.
Ye Qingcheng looked at the densely packed enemy troops that surrounded the entire border, her face turning extremely cold.
"Your Highness, we are surrounded by enemy troops on all sides. I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city. What should we do?" Qingyi asked with a solemn expression.
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly and pondered for a while.
"Wait until nightfall before going in."
"yes."
Meanwhile, on this side...
The Crown Prince dispatched 20,000 elite troops to ambush along the road from Jiangnan to the northern frontier, but after three days, they had not even seen a glimpse of Ye Qingcheng.
However, they did engage in a fierce battle with the first five thousand elite soldiers sent by Wen Shifeng.
They were certain of victory, but unexpectedly, 5,000 elite troops arrived later, forming a pincer attack that directly annihilated the prince's 20,000 elite troops.
Upon receiving the news, the Crown Prince was so enraged that he nearly turned his residence upside down.
However, because of this, he also directly dispersed the 30,000 elite troops outside the city to surround the palace. As long as he gave the order, the imperial city could be occupied.
Night fell before we knew it.
Ye Qingcheng then led Qingyi and Ningxin to the weakest point in the defenses, where they killed several enemy soldiers and leaped onto the city wall.
But as soon as the three landed, a large number of soldiers rushed out from the city wall and captured them.
Ye Qingcheng was speechless upon seeing this.
"Everyone, this is Ye Qingcheng. Is Qin Mohan here?"
"How dare you address our prince by his given name!" a general shouted angrily upon hearing this.
Ning Xin, however, said with an arrogant expression, "You are the one who dares to be disrespectful to the Princess."
"princess?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, the general scanned Ye Qingcheng and frowned slightly.
"Take them away."
"yes."
"How dare you..."
"Alright, Ningxin, no need to say more. They're probably going to take us to see Qin Mohan."
Ning Xin nodded after hearing this.
soon.
Ye Qingcheng and the other two were then taken to the military camp.
At this moment, Qin Mohan was discussing a plan to retreat with several deputy generals.
"Report."
"Enter."
"Your Highness, I have captured three women on the city wall. One of them claims to be the princess."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan quickly stood up from his chair and asked loudly.
"Your Highness, some of them claim to be the Princess Consort, so this humble general..."
Where?
"Right...right outside the tent."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan left the tent without saying a word.
"Qin Mohan".
As soon as Ye Qingcheng saw Qin Mohan come out, she excitedly called out.
Qin Mohan, Qinglong, and Thirteen, among others, exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and excitement, "Qing'er... Princess..."
Then.
Qin Mohan strode forward and hugged Ye Qingcheng tightly.
"Qing'er, what brings you here?"
"I was just worried about you. How are you? Are you alright?"
Ye Qingcheng asked repeatedly with great concern.
"I'm fine."
Qin Mohan shook his head.
After saying that.
He released Ye Qingcheng and looked her up and down.
"And you? How was your journey?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "I'm fine too."
After listening.
Qin Mohan nodded, then looked at the general.
Upon seeing this, the general trembled: "Your...Your Highness..."
Qin Mohan said calmly, "Ignorance is no excuse."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
After the general finished speaking, he knelt down before Ye Qingcheng again: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was being rude."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "It's alright. The prince said that ignorance is no excuse. Besides, with the enemy at our gates, your actions are justified and deserve praise."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
"Qing'er, you were surrounded by enemy troops on all sides, how did you manage to get up here?"
"We came up from a place where the defenses were relatively lax."
"Are there still areas where the defenses are relatively lax?"
"Okay, let's go inside and talk! Let me first get some information about the situation here."
"OK."
Then.
The group then entered the tent.
After everyone sat down...
Ye Qingcheng asked, "Qin Mohan, tell me what's going on?"
Qin Mohan nodded and then explained the situation in the Northern Frontier.
After listening, Ye Qingcheng pondered for a while.
"How many troops do we have left?"
"Less than 50,000 are left."
"Fifty thousand... Where is the enemy general? Have any of his soldiers come with him?"
"There should be; they were still making announcements during the day."
"Logically, to capture the enemy, you must first capture their leader, but now that 600,000 troops are surrounding us, it will be difficult to capture their leader."
"Yes! It is indeed difficult."
