Chapter 151 Ancient Rebellion Foolish Female Supporting Character 21 War Begins
Han Chengdao chuckled after hearing this. "Do you really think you can't beat him?"
"I don't know." Yan Mi shook her head. She gripped the hero's collar tighter and tighter. It was no wonder she didn't believe Han Chengdao. In the original plot, he had been defeated by the villain.
Han Chengdao patted her back gently. "I won't let this happen. Do you believe me?"
Yan Mi nodded, but she still felt that the dream was too real, and it was all her fault.
It was she who colluded with the State of Zhao, and it was she who was blinded and killed everyone.
But the more this happened, the more scared she became. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. She might not be able to kill Zhao Mingzhang at all.
"Don't overthink it. Your father and brother are incredibly powerful. Ordinary people can't hurt them. And you have me to protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you," Han Chengdao said softly. "I hope you know my feelings."
Yan Mi was comforted by Han Chengdao's words, and her sad mood finally calmed down.
She slept more peacefully in the second half of the night, but Han Chengdao would wake up from time to time to check on her condition.
Yan Mi was in this state for two consecutive days. During the day, she seemed very flustered, and at night she always had nightmares.
"Your Majesty, I always feel that we have to take some measures to guard against the State of Zhao. They don't play by the rules at all. I'm afraid they will suddenly attack the State of Cheng." Yan Mi frowned all the time because she had been worried about this matter for a long time.
"I have never relaxed my military training. If he dares to attack, he may not be able to escape unscathed." Han Chengdao said to Yan Mi while reviewing the memorials.
"But I think my father and brother are usually quite free." Yan Mi said hesitantly.
"Hahaha, we don't have to let them go to the military training. I have made all the preparations." Han Chengdao said.
Yan Mi asked curiously, "Can those soldiers defeat the soldiers of Zhao? I heard Meipin say that the people of Zhao are brave and good at fighting, and they might be difficult to deal with."
"He has his own plan, and I have my own way. The Chinese are indeed no match for the Zhao people in terms of simply making up their own strengths." Han Chengdao never liked those reckless men, but sometimes reckless men can be of great use.
Seeing how confident he was, Yan Mi didn't plan to say anything else.
When she returned, she saw something flying towards her. She subconsciously dodged it, and when she looked around, there was no one in sight.
She took a closer look at the mass and saw the pattern on it. Yan Mi's face suddenly became serious.
Holding the thing in his hand, Yan Mi quickly returned to his bedroom.
When she was alone, she opened the note and read it.
Zhao Mingzhang wanted to know Chengguo's defense map and the defense status of each border, and this matter required Yan Mi to inquire. Perhaps because he was anxious, Zhao Mingzhang also set a time limit for her and threatened to cut off contact with her if she failed to obtain any intelligence.
Yan Mi really didn't want to give him this information, but she still needed an opportunity to lure Zhao Mingzhang out, which required her to continue to interact with Zhao Mingzhang.
Unfortunately, she didn't know the military strength situation on the border, so she had to ask Han Chengdao about this matter.
But if she really asked, she might expose herself.
She couldn't ask Yan's father and Yan Cheng, because they kept their mouths shut and would never tell her these things.
So Yan Mi could only find an opportunity to test Han Chengdao's attitude.
However, Han Chengdao never thought of hiding it from her, and actually told her the military situation of the entire border.
Yan Mi listened carefully, "Then why don't you bring the people of Zhao to attack Yu Fan?"
"Yufan is a mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is only one way to pass through Yufan. You can hide there, but you may not be able to escape people's search. Most people will not choose to take this road." Han Chengdao explained patiently.
Yan Mi understood a little bit and praised: "You arranged it well."
"I am the Emperor of Chengguo, so I naturally have to think more."
Yan Mi praised him for being so capable.
That night, Yan Mi finished writing the letter, but she did not hand it over. Instead, she planned to wait for two days and let Zhao Mingzhang wait before making any decision.
He was really calculating, wanting to get something for nothing. There was no problem in just asking him to wait a little longer. Just thinking about Zhao Mingzhang's expression made her feel happy.
Especially when Zhao Mingzhang knew that the news she gave was false, she would be even happier and would want to kick his head like a ball.
Until the Zhao spies started to urge him, Yan Mi found several excuses to postpone the time. It was not until the Zhao people could no longer bear it and came to urge him personally that Yan Mi handed over the letter.
Although they had already done the cleanup before, there was still Zhao Mingzhang's hidden line, so Yan Mi naturally could not let them go.
After the man took the letter away, Sheng Lai followed quietly behind him.
This place is also under their control. Next, we need to follow the clues to see if there are any upstream or downstream organizations.
A few days later, Zhao Mingzhang smiled when he received the letter.
He really believed this woman's lies. Although the contents of the letter were written with sincerity and it could be seen that she had made serious inquiries, they were completely different from what he knew.
Either the woman was deceiving him, or Emperor Chengguo was deceiving the woman.
Zhao Mingzhang didn't believe a single word in the letter, but his eyes couldn't help but look to the end of it.
As expected, the woman still believed in him and had confidence in him.
He just felt it was ironic. He didn't dare to easily like a woman who betrayed her country.
His hands tightened, and a beauty was violently embraced by him. He heard the beauty's soft moan, and felt even more disdain in his heart. These women were pretentious and weak, and could do nothing except rely on men.
He looked at the beauty's face and felt annoyed again, "Get lost."
He just gave her a gentle push, and the beauty fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
He listened to the faint sobs and clicked his tongue impatiently. "If you cry again, I'll have your tongue ripped out. Get out of here!"
The beauty was so frightened that she used both her hands and feet and ran out of the hall, enduring the pain.
Zhao Mingzhang crushed the letter in his hand and said, "Call the Imperial Master in."
…
Dingbei City is a small frontier city of Cheng State. Although it is a frontier place, the land is fertile and it is also the only way to trade with other small countries. It is also a place that all countries must fight for.
The tranquility of the past was broken one night.
The governor was awakened by his subordinates in the middle of the night. "Governor, something bad has happened. I noticed that in a small village not far from Dingbei, the entire village has been slaughtered. Not a single person has been left alive."
This was no small matter. The governor also realized that something was wrong and quickly got up and dressed, asking, "Any clues?"
"No, when we arrived, the small village had already been burned down."
The governor frowned, "Could it be that this was done by local bandits?"
"I don't know, but after seeing the traces, I don't think it was done by bandits."
The governor couldn't believe the truth, but since they were in a fortress, they had to be on guard. "Notify the city guards to increase patrols today and report anything amiss."
He went to his study, wrote a letter, and handed it to his subordinates, "Horse this letter to the capital as fast as you can. No accidents must happen."
The prefect, who had written a letter, still felt unreliable, so he wrote another one and found a carrier pigeon. He only hoped that one of the letters could reach the emperor.
Before the soldiers in the city could mobilize, someone came to report, "Sir, the sentries have spotted a large force heading towards Dingbei."
The governor calmed down after hearing this. "Call all the soldiers in the city and go to other cities for help. Dingbei can't fall into the hands of others!"
…
A few days later, the news finally reached the capital.
Everyone was shocked and confused, and the court was in an uproar. Yan's father and Yan Cheng had already decided to go to the battlefield.
The people's confidence increased greatly. With the general and his son guarding the country, their country will definitely win.
After hearing this, Yan Mi hurried out of the palace to visit his father and brother.
"Dad, brother, do you really want to go?" Yan Mi asked.
She couldn't bear to leave them. The battlefield was full of ruthless swords and knives. How could she feel at ease letting them go to the battlefield?
"This is what we must do, Mi'er, don't worry. We have old acquaintances with the State of Zhao. Dad and brother are well aware of their strength. We were able to defeat them before, and we will definitely be able to do it this time!" Yan's father said to Yan Mi.
"But I'm still worried." Ever since she learned that Zhao Mingzhang was attacking Dingbei, she knew that Zhao Mingzhang had never heard the letter she wrote. Originally, she wanted to trick Zhao Mingzhang into attacking Yu Fan.
And he dared to openly attack Dingbei, which must have been because he had confidence in himself and felt that Dingbei was in his pocket.
"If you are really worried, you might as well make a token of your love for your brother," Yan Cheng said.
Yan Mi was reminded and then remembered.
She nodded and said, "Brother and father are leaving tomorrow. I will come to see you off tomorrow. I will tell you more then."
Yan Cheng nodded.
When Yan Mi returned, he asked Tong's father for a peace amulet.
Tong's father actually gave her two amulets, but Yan Mi didn't see anything different about them. "I want the kind of amulet that can save my life."
Tong's father was silent.
"Just give it to me. If you don't, and Yan's father and Yan Cheng die, I won't have the energy to complete the mission. Then the mission won't be completed. If the mission isn't completed, I'll be punished. Dad, can you bear to see me punished?" Yan Mi blinked pitifully.
Tong's father took the amulet from her hand, and a little energy appeared on the surface of the amulet that appeared in her hand again.
[This thing can protect them, but only once. After that, the power will be lost.]
Yan Mi held the amulet in her hand and said, "I knew that Tong Dad was the best to me."
On the second day, the general was about to go to the border, and all the people in the capital came to see him off.
Han Chengdao and Yan Mi also came to see him off.
Yan Mi gave the amulet to Yan's father and Yan Cheng, "I asked for this at the temple. I hope it can keep my father and brother safe."
"Thank you, sister. Your brother will definitely wipe out the Zhao bandits and return safely!" Yan Cheng placed the amulet on his chest.
Time could not be wasted any longer, Yan Mi could only watch them leave from afar.
Mother Yan felt bad too. She comforted Yan Mi, who was filled with worry, "Mi'er, your father and brother will return safely."
Yan Mi nodded, "Father and brother will definitely return safely."
The arrival of the next few letters made Han Chengdao extremely angry.
"Dingbei has fallen?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Zhao army has twice as many people as our city. The soldiers in our city fought desperately but they only held out for a few days. The prefect also died heroically in the resistance. The Zhao people did not spare anyone in the city, and all the civilians in the city were slaughtered." The soldier who brought the letter back choked with sobs. His whole family was in Dingbei, and they all died this time. He was the only one who survived.
