Chapter 55 How can we stop moving forward?



Li Chang'an hid in the woods and transformed.

His main concern was that people would see him acting like a child.

He always thought that shouting slogans while transforming was a really stupid thing to do.

This might be a really cool thing for college students.

But for someone like him who only graduated from primary school...

That's still a bit too naive.

After transforming, he rode his horse out.

The soldiers were startled when they saw a suit of golden armor appear.

Meng Xian walked out and bowed to the armored figure, asking, "Is this Li Chang'an, Mr. Li?"

"Yes, it's me."

Li Chang'an, dressed in imperial armor, walked at the front of the army, attracting countless gazes.

Only Xiong Er and Su Xiao were unsurprised.

I've seen this armor many times before, when I go hunting with my son-in-law.

He was already familiar with it.

Seeing the surprised looks on the soldiers' faces, Xiong Er curled his lip.

"A bunch of bumpkins!"

Wang Zhongxian also looked on with curiosity, especially at the gems on the armor, which sparkled in the sunlight.

This left Wang Zhongxian speechless.

Not to mention how imposing and extraordinary the armor is, the rubies on the faceplate alone are priceless treasures.

As for the other items on his person, Wang Zhongxian felt that any one of them would be extremely valuable.

"Is this celestial armor from the heavens?"

Meng Xingyun stared at the armor with gleaming eyes and asked a question.

Li Chang'an walked in front, not daring to exert too much force, for fear of hurting the horse beneath him.

He replied in a muffled voice, "This is the armor of the Sun God, the King of the Golden Crows, called the Armor of Light."

"It's a divine weapon from heaven, given to me by my master for self-defense. When we encounter Torre and the others, I'm to go up and deal with them first, then you all can charge in."

Cheng Hu couldn't help but get excited after hearing this; the origin of this armor sounded very impressive.

The armor of the Golden Crow King, a treasure of the divine realm.

No wonder he looks so imposing.

He suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

It might really be possible to rescue the prince and his companions from the Liao people.

The main reason Li Chang'an didn't mention the Emperor's Armor was that he was afraid these people would misunderstand.

These past few days, I've been feeding them eggs and rice every day.

He was terrified that when he woke up in the morning, a yellow robe would be draped over his shoulders, and a group of soldiers would surround him, saying: "It's cold, Your Majesty, please wear another layer."

He'll probably say then that I don't wear it.

Or rather, I should say, you all have caused me so much suffering.

In fact, Li Chang'an was also unwilling to become emperor. In his eyes, it was a thankless and arduous task.

They are busy every day, managing tens of millions of people and dealing with conflicts among them.

The thought of this gave him a headache.

Managing a large factory with tens of thousands of employees in his previous life had already exhausted him.

Tens of millions of people, just thinking about it gives me a headache.

It is also necessary to balance the conflicts between various management levels.

Just thinking about this made Li Chang'an's head throb.

It wasn't that no one in his past life was willing to lend him a hand.

I want to lend him some money so he can make a comeback.

He just didn't want to.

He likes to eat his fill and then sleep, and he indulges in women every day.

He spends his free time studying his family's traditional crafts, living a life like a good-for-nothing.

That's what it means to enjoy life.

The army moved slowly, sending out scouts to scout every so often.

The furthest scout was already thirty miles away.

The scouts only returned to report when the sun was setting.

They said they were already ten miles away from Luofengpo, but the Liao army was still lying in ambush on the hillside.

Meng Xian instructed her men to draw their swords and assemble the eight-ox crossbows, then slowly advance.

One hour later.

The army from Lingnan had already spotted the location of Luofengpo and slowly stopped in front of the hillside.

Meng Xian rode forward, drew her sword, and shouted, "Meng Xian, the commander of the Lingnan Great Wind Camp, is here! Your Highness, why don't you come out and greet me?"

"Hahaha, as expected of the Lingnan Iron Cavalry, as expected of the Iron Lady Meng Xian, my carefully designed ambush was seen through at a glance. I admire you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man dressed in black armor appeared on the hillside on horseback.

Behind him, a dense troop of cavalry followed.

Seeing this formation, the auxiliary soldiers panicked and some even tried to retreat before the fighting even started.

If they hadn't seen the military commander patrolling behind the army with a sword, they probably would have turned around and run away.

Seeing their behavior, Li Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head.

No wonder they get bullied; what kind of fighting power can such a ragtag army have?

Meng Xian immediately drew her sword and said to Tuolei, "Your Highness, this is quite a show of force."

The Black Wolf Iron Cavalry, numbering 20,000 men, were all brought here.

Mr. Meng was truly flattered.

Looking at the Lingnan army, Tolui felt that with only so few people, it was a waste of his efforts.

"General Meng is mistaken. This prince is not waiting for you."

I thought it would be Her Highness the Princess Consort who would arrive, along with the entire Lingnan Dafeng Camp.

That's why he led the Black Wolf Riders to this place specifically to welcome the Queen.

Tolui pointed to his attendant and said, "Look, for Her Highness the Princess, I even specially invited the number one swordsman of Liao to consult Her Highness the Great Ming Dragon Sparrow."

This war was meticulously planned by Tolui and his uncle, Yelü Chucai.

They specially joined forces with the Manchus and first used real gold and silver to persuade the general guarding Zhenhai Pass to surrender.

Then, have the Manchus send troops to put pressure on other cities in Lingnan, making them hesitant to send troops to their aid.
