Luo Lan held his collar and looked out, and the black shadow suddenly disappeared.
She was about to go outside to check, but was stopped by Ah Hong. She shook her head alertly and whispered:
"This person entered the military camp without being discovered, which shows that he has great skills. Please wait here, I will go and take a look."
"Don't move."
Luo Lan held Ahong's shoulders and shook her head, signaling her not to act rashly, because she had already seen the black shadow coming to the door.
After she made a gesture to Ah Hong, the two of them tiptoed to the door, hiding on either side of the door, both holding the bolt tightly with their hands. Luo Lan held up three fingers, muttering something under her breath, while motioning Ah Hong to open the door with her...
"one two three……"
squeak!
The moment the door opened, a black shadow flashed in, and the silver needle in Luo Lan's hand flew out at this time. Before the man could react, he fell to the ground.
Ah Hong hurried to the door and looked out. Seeing that there was no one outside, she hurriedly closed the door.
The two of them looked at the man in black lying on the ground. Luo Lan nodded to Ah Hong. Ah Hong forcefully turned the man over, half-knelt down, and pulled the black cloth off his face...
"Letu?"
When the two of them shouted these two words in unison, Luo Lan hurriedly removed the silver needle from Le Tu's body, and took out a small pill from the operating room and stuffed it into his mouth.
After a while, Letu slowly opened his eyes. He lay on the ground with his head tilted back, looking blankly at Luo Lan and Ahong who were looking down at him.
When he realized his embarrassment, he suddenly stood up from the ground, looked at Luo Lan awkwardly, and said seriously with a knotted brow:
"I...what happened just now?"
Luo Lan did not tell him that it was her silver needle that knocked him unconscious, but asked directly:
"Letu, what are you doing sneaking around outside?"
Le Tu was stunned for a moment, then mumbled:
"I……"
He probably didn't know what to say, so he pursed his lips and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ah Hong, who was standing next to Luo Lan, looked at him coldly and asked in a cold voice:
"Were you frightened when you saw us going to the encirclement camp? Did you run away?"
Seeing that Ah Hong was intentionally slandering him, Letu snorted in displeasure, and then said:
"Humph! I, Meng Letu, was born a human, how could I be a coward? I just wanted to see how many men were left in the Daning Kingdom's military camp."
Le Tu's words gave Luo Lan an epiphany. She frowned slightly and asked softly:
"You thought Prince Yu was injured and would stay in the barracks, so you came to capture him, right?"
Her words made Letu stunned for a moment, then he nodded coldly.
"You guessed right. But now that I'm in your hands, you can kill me or chop me up as you please. But there's one thing I don't understand. What kind of magic did you use just now? Why did you make me lose consciousness in an instant? Why did you leave me in this embarrassing state in front of you two?"
Perhaps because she was wearing too much, Luo Lan felt a little stuffy. She loosened her cloak and asked casually:
"Three days ago, when you and I parted outside the Beihai Kingdom camp, you said you would return to persuade your father, and I persuaded Prince Yu to give you three days. Now those three days are up, and you Chu people have shown no sign of surrender. And now you're even dreaming of sneaking into the Daning Kingdom camp to assassinate Prince Yu? You Chu people are truly cunning."
Perhaps because Luo Lan had revealed his true feelings, Le Tu looked at her with a red face, his eyes cold and he sighed helplessly.
"My ancestors conquered the country on horseback. How could it be so easy to get my father to surrender? I've tried my best."
Luo Lan pulled the corner of his mouth indifferently and chuckled:
"Your Chu State only has 30,000 men left. How can you contend against the 100,000-man army of our Daning State? Since your father is stubborn and refuses to repent, you are doomed to be trapped. Your presence today has led you into a trap."
After saying this, she was about to raise her hand to call for help, but was stopped by Letu.
"Princess Yu..."
Luo Lan frowned and looked at him in confusion, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either. We'll talk about everything after this war is over."
There was a trace of sadness in Le Tu's eyes. He looked up at her and complained.
"I don't want you to let me go. What I mean is that you can use me as a threat to force my father to surrender. I know that the capital of Daning State has been controlled by us Chu people, and now you have imprisoned my father here. I was wondering, if possible, should we make an exchange?"
His words reminded Luo Lan that it seemed that Le Tu was unable to persuade his father and wanted to use his own life to force him to submit.
Thinking of this, she looked at him with sparkling eyes, a sly smile on her lips...
…
Just after the You hour, the weather seemed to be a little warmer than during the day, but the white snowflakes were still falling from the sky.
The people of Daning State had surrounded the Chu army camp, and Meng Xin was pacing around in the tent anxiously.
The queen sat there motionless with a gloomy look on her face, her eyes lifeless, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Xina looked at Meng Xin with her pretty eyes. Seeing that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she finally couldn't help but say:
"Uncle, I heard General Liu's report just now. If we continue to resist, it will undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a rock. Let's surrender!"
"I will not surrender."
Meng Xin shook his head vigorously, his face throbbing with veins bulging as he said angrily:
"I have been trusted to never surrender even if I die."
Seeing that he was still stubborn, the queen sighed, slowly stood up, walked to his side, and said softly:
"Meng Xin, you've always been someone who refuses to listen to advice, but this time I hope you can listen to everyone's opinions. Now everyone is urging you to surrender, so why are you insisting on fighting to the bitter end? It's meaningless. It will only result in more casualties and will not achieve the results you desire."
During the days of siege, the sharpness on Meng Xin's face had almost been worn away, and all that was left on him was his pride.
He gnashed his teeth, swung his sleeves, and roared loudly with smoke in his eyes.
"I have already occupied the capital of Daning State. As long as I break out, Daning State will be mine."
"But how are you going to break out? We only have less than 30,000 men left, and the enemy has 100,000, and they have over 10,000 archers. You're asking these soldiers to fight one against three with their bare bodies? You're sending them to their deaths in vain."
Meng Xin was stunned for a moment, thought again and again, and shook his head stubbornly, "No, our reinforcements will be here soon. I have already sent out a distress signal. People from the North Sea Kingdom will come."
Seeing that he was still counting on the people of Beihai Kingdom, the queen looked at him in despair and shook her head vigorously.
"You weren't like this before, so why have you become so stupid now? You've been sending signals to the people of Beihai for three consecutive days, but they haven't even responded. Moreover, Tu'er went to invite them in person but failed, and you're still waiting here for them? You really disappoint me..."
"Shut up."
