The person behind him understood and quietly left while Mu Wenyao and the others were paying attention to Xiao Ce.
"Well, let's start now." The enemy jumped into the pit, and Mu Wenyao was in a very good mood.
"What? Now? Here?" Xiao Ce frowned. He never expected that Mu Wenyao would be so anxious. He thought they should wait until later, when they were all ready, before competing. After all, this was related to the face of both parties.
"What? Commander Xiao doesn't dare?" Mu Wenyao looked Xiao Ce up and down, with a provocative tone in his voice.
"There is no challenge that my Beijing Machine Defense Battalion dares not take!" Xiao Ce raised his head, very confident.
"But today, I have the Emperor's order. Although the Jingnan Army is stationed here with the Emperor's permission, it cannot hinder my search of Bugui Mountain. Once I have completed the search and fulfilled the Emperor's instructions, my Jingji Defense Battalion welcomes the Crown Prince to challenge me at any time."
"Commander Xiao, let me correct you. This is not a challenge, it's a competition, a sparring match." Mu Wenyao did not give Xiao Ce a chance to shirk his responsibility.
"Since Commander Xiao is so anxious to go up the mountain, how about we hold our duel here on the Bugui Mountain? We'll choose an area within a hundred miles of the mountain. We'll send out one hundred men, and you'll send out three hundred. The one who captures the other first wins. How do you say that?"
Is there such a good thing? It's like someone just gave me a pillow when I was sleepy! Xiao Ce was very happy. With Mu Wenyao's arrangement, he only needed to send some people to capture the Jingnan Army, and the other part took the opportunity to go to the Bugui Mountain to find out the whereabouts of the iron ore. Using the competition as an excuse, the Jingnan Army had no reason to stop his people.
In this way, he could easily find out the situation inside the No Return Mountain, which really saved time, effort, and worry! Mu Wenyao really cared about him so much that he was moved!
King Jingnan would never have thought that the deputy general he chose would actually open the gate of the Jingnan Army with his own hands, allowing him to go in and investigate easily?
"Deal! The competition will start in two quarters of an hour, how about that?" Xiao Ce looked very expectant. After Mu Wenyao agreed, he turned around to choose people.
The people he wants to choose are naturally the elites. Whether they can quickly penetrate into the interior of the No Return Mountain and find information about the iron mine depends on them.
After both sides finished selecting their personnel, one hundred Jingnan soldiers applied a special potion made by the Jingji Defense Battalion on their foreheads. This potion would not disappear within 24 hours after application, thus preventing the Jingnan soldiers from making substitutions.
Similarly, the three hundred men from the Jingji Defense Battalion also applied the Jingnan Army's potion on their foreheads.
After the two sides agreed on the scope of the competition, they stipulated that if other people from both sides appeared within this range within these twelve hours, they would be considered losers.
In this way, neither side can cheat.
Similarly, no one else on either side could enter that area. Therefore, as long as the 300 people from the Jingji Defense Battalion were controlled, no one else would be able to enter the Jingnan Army camp, let alone discover the location of the iron mine...
When choosing the range, Xiao Ce deliberately disagreed with Mu Wen Yao, but he didn't know that no matter where he chose to compete, it would not change the final result, because he had been tricked by Mu Wen Yao, or to be more precise, by Sikong Zhan.
Because, all of this, from Mu Wenyao's request to bring people to the mountain for training to his request for a competition, was Sikong Zhan's plan.
Not to mention that the competition between Mu Wenyao and Xiao Ce was under Mu Wenyao's control and was proceeding in an orderly manner, let's talk about the mastermind behind all this - Sikong Zhan. After he had discussed it with Mu Wenyao, he went to Lin Jinghan's tent.
He had too many questions to ask her, and he had to uncover all the secrets of this woman layer by layer!
As usual, Shiqin was keeping watch at the door of the tent. Not far away, Wu Si was also taking a nap, holding a sword.
He stopped Shiqin from paying her respects with a look and tiptoed into Lin Jinghan's tent. At this time, the darkest time of the night had passed, and the sky was just getting light. With the light from the top, he could barely see Lin Jinghan's face.
Those lively eyes were closed, long eyelashes drooped, and beneath them was a high nose bridge, pink red lips, and a slender neck...
For a moment, all the doubts in his heart seemed to disappear. Sikong Zhan only felt hot all over and couldn't help but reach out to touch her cheek.
The hand was halfway extended when it froze in the air.
Is his willpower so poor? He must have been poisoned, poisoned by this woman!
Sikong Zhan was very annoyed. He waved his hand to call the teapot not far away over. After drinking two cups of cold tea, the throbbing in his heart finally subsided.
Looking at the sleeping face of the person on the bed again, so peaceful, he suddenly felt a little sleepy after not sleeping all night.
He wanted to sleep, so he wanted to sleep here. This is what he thought and what he did.
He tapped Lin Jinghan to make sure she wouldn't wake up easily, then tiptoed onto the bed, moved her inside, and lay down outside himself.
Since she could influence him, then he could use her to train his concentration. Thinking this way, he simply gently held her in his arms.
He thought he wouldn't be able to sleep because, after all these years, this was the first time someone slept next to him and he wouldn't be used to it. But unexpectedly, smelling her pleasant body fragrance, he fell asleep quickly, sleeping more deeply than ever before...
The morning sun shone into the tent, illuminating the two faces that were sleeping soundly...
Sikong Zhan has always been very self-disciplined. He gets up at the hour of Mao and practices martial arts until the hour of Chen. Then he deals with important military affairs and has breakfast at the hour of Chen.
Because I went to bed late today, I slept a little longer, but not too long. I woke up just after 9 o'clock.
When he turned over and tried to get up, he found something soft in his arms. Then he remembered that he had slept in Lin Jinghan's bed last night.
The person in my arms was still asleep and showed no sign of waking up. I don’t know if it was because she was hungry or dreaming about delicious food, but she smacked her lips and pouted, looking very greedy.
With the warm and soft beauty in his arms, the alluring body fragrance of the person in his arms went straight into his nose. His Adam's apple moved up and down, and then he felt a hot current in his nose. He reached out and touched it, only to find that he was bleeding from the nose.
The usually calm Prince Jingnan panicked and didn't know where to put his hands stained with nosebleed. He was anxious to get up, but was afraid of waking up Lin Jinghan. Both sides were embarrassed.
He got up with difficulty. Even though he was very careful, some blood from his nose spilled onto the bed. Sikong Zhan, who was in a hurry, did not notice this. He took a handkerchief and tried to wipe the blood from his nose, but the blood still kept coming out.
Helplessly, he could only cover his nose with a handkerchief. Although he was clearly anxious, he pretended to be calm and composed as he walked out of the tent door, walking slowly towards Doctor Ran's tent...
