It snowed again outside, making Lin Siyao miss him even more.
"I hope you will return. When will you return?"
Longing flooded my thoughts.
…
It also started snowing where Li Yang was.
Now they live in the city, which is much warmer than in the camp.
At this time, Tang Huiyu put a cloak on him, "It's snowing outside and the weather is cold. I need to put on an extra layer of clothes to avoid freezing again. Does the prince have something on his mind? You might as well tell him and listen."
When he saw Li Yang staying here, he felt that he was thinking about something.
Li Yang replied: "What's on my mind? I don't have this time at all. Now is the time to train troops. Only when I am stronger will I have the opportunity to attack the enemy's larger camp."
This was his plan and he decided to continue to attack north, but now was not a good time.
"What the prince said is that we have captured several enemy camps now. Going north is the most difficult place to attack."
"If we want to continue attacking, we really should take a rest first. Only when we are in the best condition can we get twice the result with half the effort."
This is exactly what Li Yang thinks. Besides, he has other plans.
"I'm going out and I'll be right back."
Li Yang took Hao Liu out to a nearby village.
He wanted to get some information.
Hao Liu asked in confusion: "Why did the prince come to this village?"
"This is the only village within a hundred miles. I think the enemy will also purchase some food here. I want to go in and see what's going on."
Only in this way can he better judge how to successfully capture the enemy.
"The prince is still thoughtful, but I just leave this matter to the ministers. When I see the enemy's people, I will go and investigate with you."
Li Yang nodded.
Then the two came to the door of an inn. The street was full of people selling vegetables. Li Yang immediately asked about the enemy's information.
They usually dress up as local people and come to make purchases, probably tomorrow and the next few days. Li Yang plans to keep an eye on them here.
Hao Liu went to inquire about the situation, while Li Yang rested in the inn.
At this time, a masked woman walked up to Li Yang.
Li Yang was very vigilant, picked up the long sword and pointed it at her neck, "Who is it?"
The woman took off her veil and revealed her true face, "It's me, did the prince forget?"
Li Yang remembered that she was a woman from Lesifang. After recognizing her, he slowly retracted his sword and asked, "Why are you here?"
She sat opposite Li Yang, "My little girl had a hard life and was dragged by the enemy army across the street to become a spy. However, the little girl was also forced to have no choice. She always wanted to escape from that clutches, thinking that after assassinating His Majesty, she would be able to regain her freedom. The new student left them, but the reality is not like this. I thought too simply. Fortunately, the prince rescued the little girl and allowed the little girl to escape from the dire straits."
"You didn't kill me at that time, but chose to let me go. This little girl will never forget your kindness. If it weren't for the prince, I wouldn't be where I am today. From then on, I became anonymous and was no longer the same person as before. I must have scared the prince just now. I’m so sorry.”
Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she wanted to thank herself.
In prison, she talked about her life experience. Li Yang felt that she was very pitiful and planned to release her, so he did not deal with her according to the law.
"No need to thank you."
"No, I have to say thank you. I have nothing, but my heart is still sincere. I wonder what I can do to help you?"
Li Yang thought that it would be a good idea to let her take Hao Liu to find out the strength of the enemy's army. She must know where it is.
Li Yang just mentioned it, and she nodded in agreement.
"No problem, I can do that."
"This can be regarded as repaying your kindness. From now on, I can feel more at ease outside."
Then, the two went to the enemy camp together.
The soldier came to report, "Your Majesty, something happened in the camp."
After hearing this, Li Yang returned to the camp and saw the dancing girls in the city.
"What's wrong?"
"Now that the entire city has been occupied by us, do you women also want to rebel?"
Li Yang said coldly, these dancers couldn't help but become afraid.
"My little girl, my little girl will not run away from now on, but will serve the prince from now on."
Li Yang did not let them go because he was worried that these women would go to the enemy to report the situation, so it was not appropriate to let them go now.
"Okay, there will be a banquet tonight and you will perform."
"Yes, General."
Feast.
The dancers began to show off their dance.
After the last experience, Li Yang paid special attention because he was worried that they would do something secret to attack him.
After the banquet, these dancers did not dare to move.
Li Yang stood up to leave, planning to rest tonight.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I will let you go when the war is over, but now is not the time."
When the dancing girls heard this, they felt more at ease. They thought they would die at Li Yang's hands. In the past, let alone the dancing girls, as long as the troops occupying the city, they would take over anything.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's better to accept us. I will follow you to the death from now on."
"I am not a person who is greedy for pleasure. The rules of the camp are very strict. Even I have to abide by them. Naturally, you and I dare not accept them."
Accepting them will definitely depress the morale of the army.
"Take them all down."
Li Yang was about to take a rest early. He took off his boots and Tang Huiyu walked in.
What she did today impressed her.
"In the past, any man was not greedy for beauty. These dancers were all robbed. They were not sure whether they would survive after being robbed. They must have been afraid because they thought about this every day. But the prince was different. Not only did he not treat them I was tempted and even said that I would let them go. These women only wanted to follow you because they were moved. I was indeed not wrong about the person."
"Don't you think the prince is attracted to those women?"
She didn't expect this at all, and Li Yang was really kind.
"But I also kindly remind you that although you are kind to them, they are still very dangerous. What if they are the same on the outside but different on the inside? If they are loyal to the enemy, they will definitely take action against you, so the prince will do it in the future. Never be merciful."
"A gentleman should neither be anxious nor fearful; he should act when he should act, stop when he should stop, live when he should live, and die when he should die."
After hearing Tang Huiyu's advice, Li Yang did feel a little softer. If a woman like this was a spy for the enemy, wouldn't he just let the tiger go back to the mountain?
"You are right, I will definitely pay attention."
Tang Huiyu nodded with satisfaction and helped him take off his shirt. The two stared at each other while Li Yang hugged her and fell asleep together.
Li Yang said distressedly: "It's really hard on you to have you wander around with me."
