Chapter 226: The two sides fight each other
Seriously speaking, the border line was not too far from Dongling Mansion. The messenger rode at full speed for a whole day and finally delivered the letter from Princess Qi to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi late at night.
Li Chengxiu was no fool. Receiving a letter from his wife in the dead of night was a tall order! He threw on his clothes and tore open the letter, reading it carefully by the light of the lamp. He instantly flew into a rage.
"That damned old man Mu Zhiyu, who doesn't follow the rules, actually dared to send his son to take advantage of my absence and rob me. I won't let them off!"
He casually stuffed the letter into his pocket, put on his clothes and shoes, and shouted at the outside at the top of his voice.
"Li Song, send someone to call all the generals to the main tent. I have military information to discuss!"
"yes!"
Li Song, who was guarding outside, moved quickly upon hearing the order, and the generals who received the order also moved quickly. After all, although His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was not very good at dealing with people, he had inherited the essence of his father-in-law and was very strict in military discipline, emphasizing that military orders were as heavy as a mountain.
The lights in the big tent were lit, and the generals were confused for a moment when they heard the prince's order to stop the confrontation with Dali and demand a quick victory.
"Your Highness, didn't we agree to resolve the issue peacefully? It seems Dali is just trying to put on a show as usual, so why are you suddenly..."
"Suddenly, shit!"
Before Ding Yong could finish his question, Li Chengxiu interrupted him with gritted teeth. He slammed the table hard, and murderous intent instantly burst out!
"I was entangled by Duan Shaoyan in front, and then that old bastard Mu Liansheng sent people to rob our lair!
Just now, I received a report from the princess's express horse, saying that the Liao people and the children had started fighting. Mu Liansheng's second son, Mu Jingchuan, actually led his men to the gate of Dongling Mansion.
If we delay any longer, our parents, wife, and children will be taken advantage of by others!"
"What?!"
Wang Da Kui screamed.
"Didn't you make a verbal alliance with Prince Feng three years ago? Why are they jumping into action now?"
"How do I know?"
Li Chengxiu shouted angrily, then glanced coldly in the direction of Dali, his voice gloomy.
"Duan suddenly jumped out, and he didn't want to fight or retreat, and he just kept dragging me along. I can't help but wonder if he's secretly planting maggots on me."
Qiao Yuwu's brows jumped and he looked up at his cousin who was sitting in the main seat. This was a man who usually laughed and joked without any airs of a prince, but now under the dim light, it was really hard to see the specific expression on his face.
But the murderous intent in those eyes was frightening. This was not his cousin Li Chengxiu at this time, but the brave and warlike Prince Qi of Dayu!
He immediately straightened his attitude and swallowed back all the words he wanted to say to persuade his cousin to think twice.
"Your Highness, Prince Qi, what do you want?"
"No matter what, I'm going to flip the table and stop playing!"
Liu Sanlin was the most honest, having served under Li Chengxiu for the past few years, doing whatever he was told. So he was the first to stand up, wiping away his tears.
"Your Majesty, please give the order. I will fight!"
Are you kidding? His father, mother, wife, children, and the whole family are now waiting for him to go back and save them in Dongling Mansion. How could they have so much free time to fight here?
Ding Yong and Wang Da Kui, two of Li Chengxiu's biggest lackeys, had also followed him out begging for food for quite a while. To say they weren't loyal was sheer nonsense, so they stood up and volunteered without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, the other generals quickly split into two groups. One group stood up, while the other looked at Qiao Yuwu, the current commander stationed in Dongling Prefecture.
It was not until General Qiao was silent for a few breaths and then stood up silently that all the generals reached a consensus in an instant.
No more delay, just beat them!
Li Chengxiu put on his armor and led his men to prepare for a night raid on the enemy camp. Upon receiving the news, Duan Shaoyan, the crown prince of Dali, was unable to react for a while.
"No, is this reckless man Li Chengxiu crazy?"
It was obvious that everyone was tacitly aware of the standoff, and he was just going through the motions to send word back and make the capital nervous. Why did this guy surnamed Li suddenly flip the table for no reason?!
He didn't have time to think about it. From the sudden attack by Dayu to the reaction of Dali and the call for troops to fight, it was only half an hour.
Duan Shaoyan, dressed in a white military robe, stood out in the darkness. He rode with a particularly grim expression on his face. If it weren't for his position as crown prince, which constantly reminded him to maintain his composure, he would have wanted to yell at the bastard across from him.
"Li Chengxiu, are you still going to follow the rules? You are a prince and a general, and yet you shamelessly bring your troops here? I'm asking you, where is your declaration of war?"
"Bah, stop trying to act like a gentleman to me!"
Looking at the annoying pretty boy opposite him, Li Chengxiu spat fiercely and pointed his spear at his face.
"When I want to give you face, I will talk to you about reason. When I don't want to give you face, I will talk to you about my reason! You still have the nerve to ask me, you know who is breaking the rules!
How dare you secretly order someone to dig up my lair? If I don't beat you up so hard that your father can't even recognize you, I'll write the character "Li" upside down from now on!
Brothers, follow me!"
A horseman took the lead and his spear shot out like a dragon. In the night firelight, Li Chengxiu, dressed in a black battle suit and full of murderous aura, rushed into the battle formation first.
Anyone who's been in a fight knows that as long as the leader leads the charge, the followers behind him will have nothing to fear. After all, the emperor's son is already fighting with others up front, so why should I be afraid of a fucking idiot?!
The difference between following me and following me was immediately apparent between the two groups.
Although Duan Shaoyan was far more intelligent than Li Chengxiu, he was a true Prince Wen! If he hadn't been tricked by his stepmother and half-brother in the capital of Dali, he wouldn't have been kicked to the border by his own father.
Although he has practiced martial arts very hard in the past few years, he immediately becomes a nobody when he meets Li Chengxiu, who can do nothing but fight.
The fight between the two sides started at 1:00 am. After the fight, both sides looked up at the time and found that they could just go back for breakfast.
The sun had not yet arrived, and only a faint ray of morning light barely shone on the group of people who were fighting in the middle of the night.
Duan Shaoyan covered his bloody arm, no longer caring about the dignity of a crown prince. He yelled at Li Chengxiu with a pale face.
"Are you fucking sick? Did I steal your wife or your child? Do you really want to start a war between our two countries?"
"You're the one with the problem! Are you the one who wants to cause trouble, or am I the one who wants to cause trouble?"
Li Chengxiu raised the tip of his gun and pointed it at him, his face full of anger.
