Gu Mu knew that the first and second day's tasks combined would definitely involve many people with ulterior motives.
Therefore, according to Shen Ci's plan, the attack would be carried out from both flanks by people from the martial arts world.
And those who charged into battle were all his own soldiers.
"Originally, Hidden City's plan was to divert Shen Ling's attention and prevent her from focusing on killing me," Gu Mu thought to himself, while a sweet emotion welled up within him: "But I didn't expect that Ling'er would value my safety even more than I do myself."
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Inside the tent, Shen Ling turned over and asked Gu Mu.
Because the military supplies, apart from the necessities, were kept simple, Shen Ling and Gu Mu slept in the same tent.
After all, it doesn't seem right for the Empress and the Emperor to sleep separately, and there are no other favored concubines.
At this moment, Shen Ling and Gu Mu were lying on the same bed.
By the moonlight, Shen Ling saw that Gu Mu, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly showed a slight smile and couldn't help but ask.
Gu Mu rested his head on Shen Ling's arm, gazing at her exquisitely beautiful face.
Even the most perfect celebrities he had ever seen on the big screen in his past life, enhanced by makeup, lighting, and filters, couldn't compare to the person in front of him.
Gu Mu sometimes wondered how someone could be so good-looking.
One glance is enough to captivate you, and the more you look, the more beautiful it becomes.
"It's nothing." Gu Mu, of course, couldn't reveal his secret. He calmly asked, "Ling'er, are you afraid of death?"
The tent was very quiet.
But beneath this silence, danger lurks at any moment.
There are people who want to capture Gu Mu alive to curry favor with the city lord of Hidden City, and there's a possibility that they might be the ones who launch a sneak attack on the camp...
This kind of danger can be fatal if one is not careful.
Shen Ling shook her head, tightly grasped Gu Mu's hand under the covers, and grinned: "I'm not afraid, I'm only afraid of..."
Shen Ling turned her head and looked at Gu Mu seriously: "I'm afraid Your Majesty will leave before me, leaving me all alone."
"If I must go to the Yellow Springs, I hope to go with Your Majesty."
"As long as I am with Your Majesty, whatever we do will bring me happiness."
The two embraced tightly.
No matter what tomorrow holds, Gu Mu knows that even if hell lies ahead, there will be someone who will accompany him and jump down without hesitation.
...
On the other side of the tent, the imperial physician Su Linle, who accompanied the army, sat quietly inside, showing no signs of sleepiness.
While in the palace, she learned that His Majesty rarely spent the night in Kunning Palace.
Although His Majesty rarely spends the night in Kunning Palace, he sleeps in the Imperial Study every day, only because he is busy with state affairs.
It's obvious to everyone that His Majesty and the Empress have a very good relationship.
But now, Su Linle saw that the two of them were sleeping in the same tent.
What will they do?
Su Linle couldn't help but start thinking.
As I thought about it, my eyes gradually reddened.
“His Majesty… needs me…” Su Linle shook her head, trying to stop herself from thinking about those unhappy things.
She began to seriously recall that day.
His Majesty told her that he needed her...
"So I must do my best so that His Majesty needs me even more... Only in this way will he keep me by his side." As Su Linle thought about this, her eyes suddenly reddened, and she smiled.
Because it was night, she was alone in the tent.
So she dropped her disguise, wearing only a girl's pajamas and with her hair down, showing no trace of a boy.
And she looked especially pitiful, tormented by love.
Such a beautiful and strong-willed girl, it's a pity she was born in the wrong era.
He was born in an era in which only men could enter the imperial court and serve as officials.
Therefore, she was forced to dress as a man.
If she were born in modern times, given her level of effort and her stunning beauty...
It will definitely be very popular.
Even so, Su Linle probably only has one person in her heart... she fell in love at first sight.
...
It's late at night.
Gu Mu suddenly opened his eyes.
He heard footsteps approaching the military camp.
Moreover, the footsteps sounded like there were many people, at least dozens.
Shen Ling, who was sleeping soundly beside him, was not as alert as Gu Mu.
Gu Mu gently lifted Shen Ling's head, pulled his right hand out from under her head, then put on his clothes, got out of bed, and walked out of the tent.
At this moment, the soldiers on guard in the camp remained vigilant, but they clearly did not notice the footsteps.
Those dozens of people who infiltrated the military camp were highly skilled!
If Gu Mu hadn't had his senses greatly enhanced by the system, and his internal strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, he wouldn't have noticed those people approaching.
"Strengthen security, someone is approaching," Gu Mu said coldly.
The soldiers on guard duty were taken aback when they heard this.
"Someone is approaching?" But they found nothing.
However, His Majesty is no ordinary person.
So they immediately blew the alarm whistle.
Suddenly, the soldiers, who hadn't been sleeping well in the first place, all rushed out of the tent and into the camp.
Gu Mu followed the sound of footsteps and chased after them in one direction.
"The assassin is over there! His Majesty has already gone over!" a soldier shouted immediately, heading in the direction of Gu Mu.
...
Those assassins originally intended to advance into the military camp and set fire to the grain.
The location of the granary has not yet been found.
They then saw a person dressed in a black robe approaching them.
