The Emperor tacitly approved Huo Xiaolong's trip to the expedition with Xiao Lanyi. Yuwen Xuanhong was also gambling that if the two of them could kill Huang Ranhu, they could speak with their heads held high in front of Da'an in the future.
"I heard that Huang Ranhu also has superhuman strength and wields the Heaven-Opening Axe. I have never fought him, but he is very powerful in both his skills and his troop deployment."
Xiao Lanyi rode his horse to his sister-in-law's side and gave her a last-minute tutoring session.
The man listened to his sister-in-law's lighthearted words.
"Who's stronger, me or him?"
"...?"
I've never fought him, and I've never fought you either, so why are you asking me?
"It's okay, you'll find out now."
"Xiao Lanyi".
The man was a little uncomfortable when his sister-in-law's voice suddenly became serious.
“If he is very powerful and I can’t beat him and die, you should take my sisters and my parents back to the grasslands, train troops, and join forces with the Beining army to avenge me.”
"We must get revenge, otherwise they'll feel like there's no point in living."
This time, it was Xiao Lanyi's turn to be unserious.
"What nonsense are you talking about? With your boundless energy, your brother-in-law believes you. Don't worry, the family is all here."
"Um!"
Huo Xiaolong smiled, looking at the green mountains and clear waters in front of her. She dared not underestimate herself. A general must always have confidence in front of outsiders.
But she never underestimated her opponent.
She has a spiritual spring in her spatial realm; what if someone else does too?
If not, then this is the chosen one.
—Border between Da'an and Dongyu
"Report! Marshal! The envoy has brought news that Great Yan does not agree to the marriage alliance."
The man in front of the desk was nine feet tall, with muscles all over his body, like sitting on a small mountain, even bigger than Erhei.
The man put down the map and asked
"so?"
"Therefore, yesterday, the Prince of Zhenbei led his troops on an expedition, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Dongyu in about a month."
"Ouch?"
Huang Ranhu had also heard of Huo Xiaolong, the Prince of Zhenbei, a teenage girl who helped the Great Yan reclaim the grasslands, and now the grasslands were completely subservient to her.
"This time, Great Yan is really going all out? They've gained a great general." The man tapped his fingers on the table, pondering Great Yan's intentions.
"The Marshal is the best general in the world."
The man waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to leave.
He doesn't need anyone to flatter him; youth has its advantages. He's old; he's almost fifty this year.
The Prince of Zhenbei was only a teenager when he was able to reclaim the grasslands, so his abilities must be considerable.
The man gripped the handle of the axe beside him with his tiger claws, and then swept it lightly, splitting the table in two.
It's alright, it's enough.
I just don't know how much this Prince of Zhenbei is really worth.
This time, Huo Xiaolong took the initiative, so she wanted to occupy Dongyu. In other words, she wanted to replace all the officials in Dongyu, keeping the reliable ones and getting rid of the unreliable ones.
Especially in terms of provisions, Liu Xu Ruyi took over the entire responsibility.
It's not like you're being fired, but I reckon you'll have to wait until the war is over to get back to your original positions.
Fortunately, Xiao Lanyi had made clear arrangements for Dongyu before returning to the capital.
The officials were generally obedient.
The girl in red armor walked up the city wall and looked at the Da'an army setting up camp not far away.
"How do we fight?" Xiao Lanyi asked as he approached Long'er.
Huo Xiaolong took a look at the telescope that Si Man had made, and then said...
"Rest today, muster troops tomorrow, leave the city, and drive Da'an away from Dongyu by twenty li."
Huang Ranhu's army is less than three miles from the city wall. They can even hit the city wall with rockets. Is that possible?
“If we strike first, then their retaliation would be considered self-defense,” Xiao Lanyi said, sounding a little worried.
"Is there a difference?" Long'er asked back.
She not only takes the initiative, but also moves the landmark outwards. Such a cunning person clearly has never been to Pingyang County.
"Shall I go and lead the vanguard for you tomorrow?"
Lan Tingche looked at Long'er and said gently, like a refined young master.
"Whose princess is going to lead the vanguard?"
Long'er also learned some sweet talk from her older sisters. With just one sentence, she completely bewildered Lan Tingche, whose face turned bright red.
"Only after marriage can she become a princess." As the man said this, he gently hooked his little finger around Huo Xiaolong's, then smiled at the girl.
Long'er now understands a bit about what it's like to be a tyrant. It's so exciting, really. If we weren't at war, I'd drag him off to find a girlfriend any minute now.
In just a few words, Huo Xiaolong still had to perform the duties of a marshal, deploying his troops.
Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard coming from inside the Dongyu County Prefectural Governor's residence.
Are you two crazy?
"Are you bored out of your mind? Do you really think war is a game?"
Long'er is currently living in the Dongyu County Prefectural Governor's Mansion. The original governor vacated the place for her, and the Dongyu County Prefectural Governor didn't have anything to say. They couldn't possibly breach the city again, could they?
Marshal Xiao, the Prince of Zhenbei, has come. What's the big deal about moving house?
Anyway, I'll have to move again for promotions, and I'll have to move even if I die.
"Sister Huanlv?"
Long'er and Lan Tingche looked at each other in bewilderment, then quickly ran into the mansion.
Standing in front of Huanlu was the Eighth Prince, and there was also the Seventh Prince. In any case, Huo Xiaolong did not believe that these two princes would come to Dongyu for a woman.
"I'm telling you two, hurry up and tell me what you're doing following me? Otherwise, I'll break your legs and send you back to the capital, even more so than that Da'an envoy. Think it over carefully before you speak."
Da Ni'er got angry just looking at the two princes and had already rolled up her sleeves, ready to attack.
"Are the two princes here to steal the credit?"
Cen Ang walked out of the warehouse and took the wet handkerchief that Zhao Kai handed him to wipe his hands.
"Aunt Cen," the Eighth Prince bowed and greeted her.
"Greetings to Aunt Cen," the Seventh Prince said, bowing in return.
“I cannot accept such a grand gesture from the two princes. Speak, what brings you here?” Cen Ang asked, sitting on the stone bench and looking at the two standing men.
This isn't the capital; she doesn't give any princes any face.
On the battlefield, her daughter was the eldest.
"Old Eight and I thought that if the Prince of Zhenbei wins this battle, we can also gain a good reputation if we stay here."
"Aunt Cen, don't worry, we don't have the ability to steal credit. Even if Father Emperor is happy, we can live outside the palace."
Upon hearing this, Cen Ang sneered a few times.
This means he wants to leave the palace and develop his own power. Yuwen Xuanhong has always kept the princes by his side, the only one not by his side is the sixth prince who made a mistake. He gave him a remote place and let him be a leisurely prince.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to get the title of military supervisor.
But it's fine, these two are causing quite a stir, and it just so happens that the Emperor is still a little worried about Long'er.
"Eat this, and then you two can stay."
