Everyone in the palace was discussing who would accompany the emperor on that plane for a spin tomorrow.
The messenger, riding at breakneck speed, finally arrived at the city gate.
With his last breath, he handed the letter in his hand to the general guarding the city.
"Report"
"What exactly happened?"
Eunuch De hurriedly took the letter in his hand and quickly came to the emperor.
"Reporting back to the secret letter sent by His Majesty via express courier at an urgent rate of 800 li."
Everyone was on edge, realizing that this urgent message sent from 800 li away must mean something terrible had happened…
After the emperor read the letter in his hand, he slammed his hand on the table.
"The Japanese soldiers have already reached a hundred miles away."
Our current forces number less than 100,000, while the enemy has an army of 300,000.
"Chuanzhou City has fallen, and Nanhua City is in peril; we urgently request reinforcements."
Long Yuan took the letter and was furious upon reading what it said.
Japanese soldiers were known for their extreme cruelty. Once a city was breached, the inhabitants, from the elderly to newborns, would be brutally murdered.
Neighboring countries had their cities destroyed one after another by Japanese soldiers.
Looking at the Emperor and the Crown Prince, Su Muyao knew that the letter must contain something important.
He didn't sit down anymore, but went straight to Longyuan and peeked at the letter.
It turned out they were Japanese soldiers, as I had learned from the history books of the Great Dynasty.
Japan is very similar to the country where I lived a good life in my previous life.
This is a country I hate to the core, how could I possibly let such a country set foot in my great dynasty?
She ran straight up to the emperor and whispered a few words in his ear. The emperor stared at Su Muyao with wide eyes.
"Yao'er, is it really true that there are no jokes in the army?"
"nature".
The emperor stroked his chin: "Good, good, you are indeed the children of my great dynasty, the lucky star of my great dynasty. It is a blessing for the people to have you."
The emperor no longer referred to himself as "朕" (Zhen, the imperial "I"); now his mind and attention were completely focused on what the little girl was saying.
Su Muyao actually said that the soldiers she trained could not only fight against 10,000, but even 100,000 would be no problem.
In the past, people would have thought the little guy was bragging.
But after all these years of understanding Su Muyao, this little guy wouldn't say such a thing unless he was absolutely certain.
"Long Yuan, although you are the Crown Prince, you must follow Mu Yao's orders in this operation."
This is the tiger tally; in the past, everyone had to obey the young princess's orders, and those who disobeyed were executed.
These words were not only spoken to Su Muyao, but also to give her confidence.
In the past, anyone who secretly sabotaged the young princess would be executed on the spot, regardless of her age.
Su Muyao hurriedly went back to make preparations, while Long Yuan also selected Shadow One and Shadow Two from his own secret guards.
He then spoke to all the ministers about the contents of the letter and the crisis at the border.
After all the ministers had left, the empress emerged from behind the curtain at the back.
"Your Majesty, putting aside the fact that Longyuan and Yaoyao are still young, shouldn't the troops be transferred from the nearby cities to provide support first? What can the two children do there?"
"You have no idea how capable Yao Yao is. Remember the secret guards I gave her before?"
Yao Yao said that not only were they well-trained, but most importantly, they had a secret weapon that could allow one person to fight against ten thousand or even a hundred thousand.
The Empress looked on incredulously: "What weapon could be so deadly? Could it be... the carefree prince from last time in court?"
The Emperor nodded: "It's more than that. Judging from the little girl's tone, it's not just about the weapon."
The Empress heard what she wanted to hear and then left with peace of mind.
To be honest, while I'm worried about Su Muyao's safety, I'm even more worried about Long Yuan!
Long Yuan and I haven't seen each other for three years. He has only just returned. If I go back to guard the border, when will it ever end?
...
Su Muyao brought everything she needed and, along with Long Yuan and a group of guards, arrived in Nanhua City.
Most importantly, neither Shadow One nor Shadow Two managed to board the plane. At the time, Su Muyao had just the right number of people with her, and Long Yuan originally wanted to remove the two of them.
However, Su Muyao stopped them. In Su Muyao's opinion, Shadow One and Shadow Two were completely unfamiliar with those modern weapons.
Instead of bringing these two who are dragging us down, it would be better to send someone we've trained ourselves.
Yingyi was initially unconvinced, but after being beaten to the ground in just two moves by the people Su Muyao brought, he realized the gap between himself and them.
This move really surprised Long Yuan, because in his mind, Shadow One and Shadow Two were quite powerful.
Now, they can't even withstand two moves from someone else.
His gaze towards Su Muyao softened even more.
I have no idea how many more surprises this little guy will bring me.
When Su Muyao arrived in Nanhua City in her plane.
After getting off the plane, Long Yuan led Su Muyao to the city gate.
Long Yuan pulled out a token, and all the soldiers instantly knelt down. The city gates were then wide open.
At this moment, Long Yuan was filled with majesty and an innate aura of superiority, causing the soldiers to bow their heads in worship.
No one dared to raise their head and look at the boy.
They knew about His Highness the Crown Prince's activities at the border, even though the border was some distance from them.
But since they were so close, they knew all about the events that hadn't spread to the capital.
Just then, General Qin rushed over: "Your Highness, you arrived so quickly."
"Tell me about the current situation."
General Qin cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the Japanese troops will be at the city gates in about three days."
Reinforcements from nearby areas will not arrive for at least five days.
As soon as General Qin finished speaking, his eyes dimmed. The total number of soldiers defending the city was no more than 50,000, and the number of soldiers in the city behind it was no more than 60,000.
Now their people have been transferred here, but the enemy has an army of 300,000. How can they possibly cope with that?
Even the most sophisticated military strategy cannot overcome the disparity in numbers between the two armies.
Although the Crown Prince has arrived, General Qin thought for a moment and immediately knelt down to plead with Long Yuan, "Please, Your Highness, leave immediately."
"The disparity in troop strength between us and the enemy is too great. Nanhua City cannot be defended. Your Highness, please leave. We will defend Nanhua City to the death, and we will stand until the last soldier remains. There will be no deserters."
Upon hearing General Qin's words, the soldiers behind him shouted, "There will be no deserters!"
This was the first time Su Muyao had ever felt the patriotism of young men defending their country.
Knowing they were no match for the enemy, not a single one of them was a coward.
Looking at General Qin kneeling on the ground, Su Muyao couldn't help but sigh, "This man is truly loyal."
In such a critical moment, the first thing he saw was the Crown Prince, and he didn't think about how the Crown Prince would save him.
Instead, he told the crown prince to leave immediately.
Seeing this, Long Yuan was filled with satisfaction and personally stepped forward to help General Qin up.
"Don't worry, I have invited the Imperial Advisor to come to our rescue."
Everyone looked up in shock at the little guy standing behind the crown prince.
If the Crown Prince hadn't mentioned it, they really wouldn't have noticed; it turns out the Imperial Advisor was also here.
