“We went there in our martial arts training clothes,” Li Yuanmu said.
Li Ping's eyes lit up: "So? Which one of you does Miss Yun like? Could it be that you're all so useless that you can't win her favor?"
Li Yuanmu: ……
“The young lady didn’t say anything, so she probably doesn’t dislike us,” Li Yuanyi said.
"Since she doesn't dislike you, you should strike while the iron is hot. Why did you come back to change your clothes?" Zhang Gong asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because some people say that we dress like that, which is not in accordance with male virtues!"
Li Ping: ...
Zhang Gong: ...
Male virtue? What kind of term is that? Where did that come from? What is it?
"Who told you that?" Li Ping asked, puzzled.
“It’s the one you were talking about, the masked assassin!” Li Yuanmu said.
Li Ping frowned: "How dare he say that?"
Li Yuanyi said, "Perhaps it's because the young lady gave him confidence. Now the young lady likes him a lot, and they're always seen together."
Li Ping was furious when he heard this.
"You mean you're not even as good as an assassin? You...you're all useless, I've wasted my time raising you!"
Li Yuanyi: ...
Li Yuanmu: ……
Zhang Gong, standing nearby, quickly advised, "You're exaggerating! He's just an assassin. Miss Yun is probably just playing around with him. The two young masters still have a chance!"
Li Pingshen agreed. He looked at his two sons and said, "From now on, you two better be smart and try your best to please Miss Yun!"
The two had no choice but to agree.
But Li Yuanmu was still puzzled.
"Father, why do you insist that we seduce and fawn over Miss Yun? What good will it do us?" Li Yuanmu asked, frowning.
Although he did what his father wanted him to do, he didn't know why.
Li Ping explained, "I don't know how to explain this matter. In short, I absolutely believe in Mr. Zhang, that's all."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Gong said, "I don't know how to explain this either; you'll find out later!"
Li Yuanmu: ……
Li Yuanyi: ...
They suspected that their father and Mr. Zhang were just making trouble for no reason!

When Li Ping and his companions met Yun Chuwei, she and the others had already finished breakfast.
Yun Chuwei looked at Li Ping and asked, "General, what has your decision been?"
“We’ve discussed it carefully, and the final decision is to do as you say. We just don’t know when would be a good time to set off?” Li Ping asked.
Yun Chuwei glanced to the southeast and said, "The sooner the better! Ideally, we should set off at noon tomorrow!"
Li Ping gritted his teeth and said, "We can set off at noon tomorrow. But..."
Li Ping hesitated for a moment before adding the sentence he hadn't finished: "Would Miss Yun be coming with us?"
Yun Chuwei nodded: "If you need it, I can certainly do so, but..."
Li Ping raised his hand, indicating to Yun Chuwei that there was no need to say anything more.
He said, "I understand the rules of the Taoist sect. The reward I give Miss Yun will definitely not be less than what the emperor gives."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Then I'll accompany the general."
After they reached an agreement, they each went to make their own preparations.
After returning to her residence, Yun Chuwei first wrote a letter and asked Uncle Yan to take it to Xie Xin. Then she began to look at the birth dates of Li Ping and his generals, which Li Ping had sent to her.
Li Yuanyi and Li Yuanmu stayed at Yun Chuwei's residence, preparing tea and fruit for her every now and then.
It's fair to say they haven't had a moment's rest.
Yun Chuwei had no choice but to tell them to leave.
They then took a deep look at Yun Chuwei before leaving.
As for Xie Xuan, although he didn't leave the room, he didn't utter a single word.
Yun Chuwei looked at those birth charts once, memorized them, and then threw them into the stove next to her to burn.
After the paper burned out, she glanced at Xie Xuan, who remained silent, moved closer to him, reached out, and removed his mask.
Staring at Xie Xuan's gloomy face, he asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you pretending to be deep?"
Xie Xuan reached out, grabbed Yun Chuwei's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly, his eyes full of confusion.
He said in a low voice, "Yun Chuwei, what exactly do you want to do?"
He rushed over in a panic after hearing that Yun Chuwei had exchanged herself for Xie Xin, wanting to save her.
But she seems to be having a great time here, and looks like she's completely absorbed in the experience.
It wasn't like this in the previous life. In the previous life, Li Ping raised an army much later than in this life.
At that time, his father did not send Xie Xin to the expedition, but instead sent another general.
Initially, Yun Chuwei did not go on the expedition. He remembered that it was only after the general failed to capture the city for a long time that his father sent Yun Chuwei to Jizhou.
After Yun Chuwei arrived in Jizhou, the imperial army advanced with unstoppable momentum, recapturing the city and killing the rebels.
The Li family was beheaded on the emperor's orders, and their heads were hung on the city gate as a warning to others.
In this life, everything seems to have changed.
Yun Chuwei seemed to get along very well with Li Ping and the others.
She seemed to want to do something for Li Ping.
What exactly is she doing?
Did she not know that her father deeply hated Li Ping and others?
He held her tightly in his arms and whispered, "Yun Chuwei, do you know what will happen if word gets back to Father Emperor about your dealings with the Li family?"
It was only with great difficulty that she became his betrothed princess.
He didn't want anything to happen to her, and he couldn't bear to lose her.
Yun Chuwei knew what Xie Xuan was worried about. She smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, if this succeeds, His Majesty will be very happy."
By shifting the conflict externally, the Emperor bought time to resolve internal problems. How could he not be happy?
Xie Xuan looked down at the person in his arms: "You're not lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? What good would it do me?" Yun Chuwei said casually, then snuggled closer to Xie Xuan, adjusted to a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and said, "I wonder if Uncle Yan saw Xie Xin in time. I hope he didn't delay things!"
-
Yan Wei naturally met Xie Xin in time.
At that time, Xie Xin had already assembled his army and was preparing to attack Jizhou.
The main reason is that, from yesterday to today, she sent ten challenge letters to Li Ping and others, demanding that they release Yun Chuwei.
However, Li Ping has not replied to a single letter so far.
She was worried about Yun Chuwei's safety, so she decided to attack the city immediately.
Just as she was gathering everyone together, Yan Wei appeared.
Xie Xin's face lit up with joy when she saw Yan Wei, and she walked over to her.
"Uncle Yan, they let you come back? Where's Chuwei?"
Yan Wei took out the letter written by Yun Chuwei and handed it to Xie Xin, saying, "The young lady is still in the city. She asked me to deliver this letter to you!"
Xie Xin took the letter and immediately opened it.
The letter contained only one sentence: "No need to attack the city. At three-quarters past noon tomorrow, enter the city and take over Jizhou!"
