Late at night, a Nanhuai general was still reporting military information in Li Dingxing's commander's tent.
"Master, we have found the location of the Japanese pirates. They are on a small island overseas. We have sent people to investigate. There are about... ten thousand people." The Nanhuai general found out about the Japanese pirates, but there were too many people. The general was a little afraid to report for a while.
As the son of the King of Nanhuai, Li Dingxing had always been among the bureaucrats with his father and brother, so he had long understood the thoughts of the general in front of him.
"I know, is there anything else?" Li Dingxing asked.
The general quickly replied: "Yes, spies sneaked into the island and found a large amount of gold and silver treasures hidden on the island. They must have been plundered by these Eastern Japanese people."
Li Dingxing's eyes flashed, and he quickly asked: "What did you say? There is a large amount of gold and silver treasures? Is this true?" Li Dingxing was not short of money. Even if Nanhuai was withdrawn, the Li family's six hundred years of savings, plus his Nowadays, as Lord Zhongyi, he has no worries about food and clothing. But in the previous battle with Chu Xiang, Yi Xiaodao helped Nanhuai fend off the Yulin army of the imperial court. Li Dingxing always remembered this kindness in his heart. Until Yi Xiaodao went to Yicheng to recruit troops, Li Dingxing began to raise money and food.
However, contrary to expectations, the money and food eventually became betrothal gifts and were sent to Xiufanfang, and Li Dingxing also took home a beautiful woman. Of course, what you get is not just a beautiful woman in your arms. This marriage also makes the relationship between Xiu Shanfang and the Li family much closer. Xiu Shanfang is now the largest gang in Nanhuai and is close to them. , which is also a good thing for Li Dingxing.
But on Yi Xiaodao's side, Li Dingxing always felt guilty, even though Yi Xiaodao had never asked him for help.
Now that he learned that the Japanese had plundered a large amount of money, how could Li Dingxing not be tempted? He wished he could spread his wings now and go to the island to explore the reality.
"Master, Master!" Two calls brought Li Dingxing back from his fantasy. "The situation is true. The spy is a good soldier in the army and can be trusted!"
"Order 10,000 troops and send them to the island tomorrow!" Li Dingxing immediately ordered. The scene of Yi Xiaodao turning his back to the Nanhuai military camp and walking towards the imperial army has been deeply imprinted in Li Dingxing's mind.
The general was a little embarrassed: "My lord, most of the Nanhuai troops and horses have been delivered to the imperial court, and now there are only 12,000 people left... And after days of fighting, everyone is injured... There are no injured people in the camp... There are only more than 7,000 people left..."
Li Dingxing said decisively: "Then order seven thousand troops. Are there any questions?"
"No...no more, I will retire..." the general said as he was about to retreat.
"Wait a minute, Madam must not know about this!" Li Dingxing added.
When the general heard the mention of Xiang Lian'er, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "General, I understand... I understand."
After the Nanhuai generals retreated, Li Dingxing paced back and forth excitedly in the tent, rubbing his hands and saying: "When we have wiped out this group of Eastern Japanese, we will have money and food. Then I will take Lian'er and send them to Yi Xiaodao. I really didn't expect him." What expression will it look like!”
Outside the tent, two maids followed behind Xiang Lian'er, with their hands folded in front of their chests. After listening to the report of the general who had just exited Li Dingxing's handsome tent, she waved her hand: "Okay, let's go down."
The general glanced quietly at the commander's tent and secretly prayed for the Duke. After hearing Xiang Lian'er's instructions, he hurriedly left as if he had been granted amnesty.
Xiang Lian'er rolled her eyes, called the maid behind her, and whispered a few words in her ear. The maid retreated, Xiang Lian'er covered her mouth and snickered.
"Husband, I've stewed chicken soup for you. Come on, drink it while it's hot." The two maids opened the curtain, and Xiang Lian'er walked in with a bowl of chicken soup. The maid stood outside the handsome tent, accompanied by the guard. The tent guards were all driven aside.
"This is a dignified military camp, but now women are in charge! This...how unbecoming is this! Oh..."
"What can be done about this? Who makes the father-in-law be henpecked? As for this woman, she will go to the house without fighting for three days! If it were me..."
"Stop bragging. Who doesn't know about your tigress? Look at your neck. There are still blood marks on it!"
In the distance, a group of Nanhuai generals were staring at the commander's tent and discussing in low voices.
"Thank you, Madam. It's really hard, Madam... Hey, when did you know how to make chicken soup?" Li Dingxing brought the chicken soup to his mouth and suddenly remembered that Xiang Lian'er didn't know how to cook, but He Yue'er was a very good cook. I ate it once in Beijing and had endless aftertaste.
Xiang Lian'er's smile didn't change: "I just learned it, so drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Li Dingxing took out a chicken leg from the bowl: "Don't you like chicken legs the most? Come on, eat the chicken legs first."
Xiang Lian'er frowned slightly and quickly returned to normal: "No, you better eat. I'm just full."
"Hmph, you're being courteous for nothing, but... ouch ouch." Xiang Lian'er's little hand pinched Li Dingxing's face, and Li Dingxing cooperated by pretending to be in pain and "screamed".
The generals outside the tent heard Li Dingxing's screams from afar, and they all sighed: "The bride can't lift her hijab when she comes through the door. Look, what's wrong with this?"
"Drink quickly!" Xiang Lian'er urged.
Li Dingxing slowly put the bowl on the table and said with a smile: "Did Chen Guang tell you everything?"
"Yeah." Xiang Lian'er nodded.
“So what’s in this chicken soup?”
"Drug-induced." Xiang Lian'er admitted frankly.
Li Dingxing couldn't laugh or cry, and pretended to be angry with a straight face: "The war is about to begin, and you dare to drug the commander of the army, saying! What are your intentions? Did the Japanese send you to be a spy?"
"I've charmed you so much that I will lead my troops to fight against the Japanese." Xiang Lian'er revealed her plan in detail.
"Nonsense!" Li Dingxing was really a little angry: "How can a woman go into battle as a general? What's more, you are the wife of Duke Zhongyi!"
Xiang Lian'er pouted and said, "It's because I'm your wife that I did this! When I go to fight the Japanese, I'm still at sea. What if there's someone who's both good and bad? I'm different. I have martial arts skills. Those little ones can't get close to my body, and if I can't come back, wouldn't it be a good thing for you to ask for a little wife?" At the end of the sentence, Xiang Lian'er laughed narrowly.
Li Dingxing was really angry now. Before he could say anything, Xiang Lian'er said first, "Hey, don't be angry. You can see how good my martial arts is. We have been married for so long, but you haven't seen my true ability yet." Woolen cloth!"
Xiang Lian'er grabbed the long sword hanging in the handsome tent, tied up her sleeves, drew the sword, and danced in front of Li Dingxing. The beauty's waist is swaying, the sword is shining with cold light, and each move is very organized, either approaching one after another, or retreating while protecting the body, and the hem of her clothes is graceful, like a vigorous swimming dragon.
"Is this...the swordsmanship you learned in Lingyue Pavilion?" Li Dingxing was a little stunned, and he didn't notice the chicken soup spilled in his hand.
Xiang Lian'er turned around and smiled: "Yes! Not bad, right? Take it!"
Xiang Lian'er held a sword in her arms, drew a semicircle with her long sword from the top of her head, and put the sword back into its sheath.
With a "hiss" sound, the handsome tent was cut in half by an unintentional sword energy from Xiang Lian'er, and the two halves of the tent exploded and flew apart.
"It...it seems that our lady...is really tough..."
"Otherwise, how could the eldest son recognize this sister-in-law?"
"Which of you can do this sword?"
The Nanhuai generals hiding in the dark all followed the old Nanhuai King or Li Yaoyang to fight in the north and south. Those who have seen the world will naturally not be intimidated by this scene, but Xiang Lian'er can have such skills at a young age. It was beyond their expectation that the last person in Nanhuai to achieve such an achievement was the eldest son of Nanhuai, Li Yaoyang.
The commander's tent was destroyed, and the soldiers in each camp grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent, rushing to the commander's tent to protect the commander.
The loyal generals saw Xiang Lian'er standing in front of Li Dingxing holding a handsome sword, while Li Dingxing was sitting on a stool with half of the chicken soup spilled in his hand. Comparing the two, Li Dingxing was really in a much more embarrassed state.
"It's okay, let's go back and rest!"
"Leave fifty people and set up the handsome tent."
"I didn't see anything! Did you hear me?"
A group of Nanhuai generals hiding in the dark rushed out immediately to "protect the Lord" loyally.
Xiang Lian'er didn't care about the stunned soldiers around her and the Nanhuai generals who were busy rescuing the situation. She smiled sweetly at Li Dingxing: "How is it? Is my martial arts okay?"
Li Dingxing nodded numbly, but quickly responded: "No, you are a woman after all, and it is not appropriate to go into battle!"
"I didn't expect that the second young master is still a rotten scholar? What's so rude? Anyway, I'm going tomorrow, and no one can stop me! If you don't let me go, I'll tell you if you can win!" Xiang Lian'er pointed the sword in her hand at One step forward, he stared at Li Dingxing angrily.
Li Dingxing looked at the handsome sword in Xiang Lian'er's hand and felt a little scared. It was okay for him to play with arrows, but if he played with a sword...
"Okay, you are my husband, I will step back and I will go with you!" Xiang Lian'er was still angry, but she made a concession.
Li Dingxing was a little reluctant to give in, but he also knew this girl's temper, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, but you can't leave me within three steps!"
"Okay~ My good husband~ I'll share the same clothes with you tomorrow and keep it close to you!" Seeing that her plan succeeded, Xiang Lian'er couldn't help but smile. She also knew that it would be a fantasy for her to lead the army alone. Even though she was the wife of Duke Zhongyi, no one would listen to her. She had no choice but to first ask to lead the troops alone, and then retreat and ask to accompany her. With this compromise, Li Dingxing would agree.
The soldiers and Nanhuai generals who were busy setting up the tent were all stunned when they heard this. No one could have imagined that a princess of the country could speak so openly in public. Li Dingxing's face turned red. He felt that his majesty had been wiped out, and he had a seizure. When he raised his head, he saw Xiang Lian'er's sweet smile, which was as bright as a flower.
"That's the best, haha." Li Dingxing looked at Xiang Lian'er and giggled, then picked up the chicken soup in his hand and drank it.
With a "plop", Li Dingxing fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. The surrounding soldiers and generals were so frightened that they gathered around to check on Li Dingxing's situation.
Xiang Lian'er looked across the crowd at the sleeping Li Dingxing and smiled even sweeter.
