The summer wilderness is extremely hot.
After Li Ye left Kaiyang where the eldest prince lived, he rushed all the way to Xiaguan and stayed with Long Potian for ten days, either practicing sword practice or drinking tea every day.
Looking at the stagnant Xiaguan City, Li Ye patted Long Potian on the shoulder and said, "They are more anxious than us. As long as we plant the food in the ground well and harvest it before it snows, we will win the war. "
Long Potian naturally understood what Li Ye was thinking. It would be best not to fight.
At present, the 30,000-strong army was divided into 20,000 for farming, and they were taking turns to guard the defense line. Everyone was in high spirits. The soldiers had never doubted the strategy of the national division.
However, just when Li Ye and Mu Mu were about to leave for Xichun, a group of men in black came to the military camp in Xiaguan, a group of men in black who did not belong to any organization.
It was almost Hai hour, and both Li Ye and Mu Mu were preparing to go back to their tents to rest.
Li Ye, the man in black who led the team, knew him as a master of the seventh level of distraction named Xia Yunlan. According to the emperor, he was his blood relative.
Xia Yunlan brought sixty people to Li Ye's tent, which really surprised him. Could it be that something unexpected happened in Fengyun City?
Seeing Li Ye's surprised look, Xia Yunlan smiled and said, "There is no need to panic, Imperial Master. We have followed His Majesty's order and came to southern Xinjiang to protect the safety of Imperial Master and the eldest prince."
When Li Ye heard this, he finally felt relieved, looked at him and asked, "The emperor has left?"
Xia Yunlan nodded and replied: "Last month, I accompanied you to the Tianshan Mountains. I must have successfully overcome the tribulation and ascended to leave."
"Has my husband come back?" Li Ye was concerned about his safety.
"It is precisely because my husband came back from Tianshan that he came to Southern Xinjiang from Fengyun City."
"That's good. Are the rest of your brothers staying in Fengyun City?" Li Ye remembered that the emperor wanted to leave half of his troops in Fengyun City.
Xia Yunlan nodded and said: "National Master, don't worry, the remaining brothers will protect the safety of your family until the matter in the imperial city is over."
"Are my father, mother and mistress okay?" Mu Mu, who was sitting aside, asked.
In her heart, apart from Li Ye, she had only kissed these people.
Xia Yunlan looked at her, nodded, and said with a smile: "Everything is fine. Your wife also ordered the princess to return to Fengyun City after the war in southern Xinjiang is over, and not to interfere with the affairs in the imperial city."
Upon hearing this, Mu Mu glanced at Li Ye and said casually: "Where brother is, Mu Mu will be there."
Li Ye was stunned and looked at Mu Mu blankly, thinking that this guy was getting involved with him.
Xia Yunlan laughed looking at the two of them, walked quickly to Li Ye's ear, and whispered to him softly...
...
"Is this true?" Li Ye was shocked when he heard this.
"It's absolutely true, there are many brothers in our palace in the dark."
"They are looking for death themselves! Come on, my hands have been itchy for a long time." Li Ye said in a deep voice.
Xia Yunlan looked at his indifferent expression and couldn't help but admire him secretly. "Then how should we deal with this matter?"
Li Ye looked at him quietly, pondered for a moment and then said: "We can't rush this matter. I have to discuss it with the eldest prince before making a decision."
"Let's do this tonight. You lead the brothers to rest. We will leave for Kaiyang early tomorrow morning." Li Ye called the guard outside the tent in and asked him to lead a group of men in black to rest.
Xia Yunlan said goodbye to Li Ye and turned around to leave the tent.
"Brother, are we going to fight again?" Looking at the man in black walking out of the door, Mu Mu approached him with a mysterious look on his face.
Li Ye looked at her appearance and couldn't help but laugh: "Is there still a war going on there? Some people can't sit still and want to plot against me and the eldest prince."
"Do these guys want to die?" Mu Mu growled.
Li Ye reached out and patted her hand, and said, "Don't come forward this time. They are probably at the Nascent Soul Realm, or even masters at the Distraction Realm."
Mu Mu looked at him and nodded, smiling: "Well, I won't fight with them in close combat. I will stay far away and shoot them with arrows."
When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. "When you are distracted, your bow and arrow will not be able to hurt them. Your task this time is to protect yourself and leave me and the eldest prince alone."
"What about brother?" In Mu Mu's heart, Li Ye's safety was more important than hers.
"Have you not seen those people who came in just now? They are all His Majesty's personal guards. Now they are here to protect us. As long as you don't run around, nothing will happen." Li Ye stretched out his hand and pointed outside the tent.
Mu Mu suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It turns out that His Majesty still feels sorry for Mu Mu. This has already made him soar, and he still wants to send someone to protect Mu Mu."
Li Ye looked at her and smiled: "This time, we will dig another hole for them in Kaiyang City."
As soon as Mu Mu heard that a hole was going to be dug to bury people, she also came and said happily, "This is good, Mu Mu likes it."
...
Early the next morning, Li Ye said goodbye to Long Potian, saying that he was going back to Xichun for a visit.
Long Potian had long been accustomed to Li Ye coming and going without a trace, and without saying anything, he walked all the way out of the military camp until he was sent five miles away.
Li Ye took Mu Mu and a group of men in black, plus the original guards, and quickly returned to Xichun City.
This time he did not rush to Kaiyang, but wrote a letter to the eldest prince.
As a passerby coming out of Xiaguan, he thought for a long time and decided to stay in Xichun. After all, this was the main battlefield.
Whether it was fighting with the cavalry of the grassland tribes or facing the conspiracy from the imperial city, he felt that this was the most appropriate place. It could take care of Shangguan and Xiaguan, and it was not far from Yang.
Since Mu Mu learned about the Imperial City's conspiracy, she has become much better behaved and no longer pesters Li Ye to make mischief.
Li Ye sent someone to find Nalan Yu and Wang Tianhua.
As soon as the two of them heard that Li Ye had returned from Xiaguan, they hurried over without waiting for him to call, and the guard Qing Yu also followed behind.
Looking at the three people who hurried in, Li Ye smiled and said: "This is not a war, why are you so anxious?"
Li Ye did not answer immediately, but took his time to boil water and make tea. He didn't raise his head until the aroma of tea filled the tent and he poured a cup of hot tea for each of the four people sitting there.
"I want one of you two to go to Xiaguan, which one of you will go?" Li Ye picked up his teacup and said quietly.
"Isn't Deputy Commander Long stationed at Xiaguan?" Nalan Yu looked at Li Ye and asked.
Li Ye did not reply to his words, but looked at the two of them quietly.
"I'll go!" Wang Tianhua patted his chest. He naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to fly.
"I'll go too!" Wei Qingyu was worried that Wang Tianhua would go alone.
Li Ye turned around and glanced at Nalan Yu who was silent. He knew what his elder brother was thinking and didn't tell them. He just looked at Wang Tianhua and Wei Qingyu and kept watching.
"Okay then, just you two will go, and I will send ten more guards to protect you two." Li Ye had already thought about it, and had to put the man in black brought back by Xia Lan to use.
Nalan Yu also looked at Wang Tianhua and Wei Qingyu without saying a word.
"The two of us have the ability to protect ourselves. The Imperial Master should keep more people around you and around you." Wang Tianhua waved his hand, he didn't want to embarrass Li Ye.
"This matter has been settled. The person who protects you will only take action when your lives are in danger." Li Ye ignored Wang Tianhua's refusal.
"That's okay. Thank you, Imperial Master, for the arrangement! When we go to Xiaguan, we will definitely check where we are staying to prevent the prairie cavalry trapped in the city from escaping." Wang Tianhua clasped his fists and saluted Li Ye.
"That doesn't matter. If we really can't beat him, just go to Xichun and leave. Don't fight them to the death." Li Ye gave him an order.
"I let you go to preserve your strength, not to risk your life." Li Ye continued.
"The general understands what the Imperial Preceptor means and will definitely look after the 30,000-strong army for the Imperial Preceptor." As the contact with Li Ye grew longer, Wang Tianhua gradually understood Li Ye's thoughts.
"Don't worry, you two should prepare first. After the generalissimo comes to Xichun, I will arrange for you two to go to Xiaguan." Li Ye hoped that the eldest prince would come early.
"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the Imperial Master." Wei Qingwei gritted his teeth and replied.
"Remember, our generals are still here in Xiaguan. You and I should handle the relationship well with others and avoid unnecessary conflicts." Li Ye seemed to be worried about something and explained to the two of them.
"I remember."
"Okay, you two go back first. Come to me before you leave. I have something else to tell you two to do."
Li Ye waved to the two of them. He still had something to say to Nalan Yu.
The two of them bowed to Li Ye and Nalan Yu and left the tent.
"Brother, the people in the Imperial City are dishonest." Li Ye said softly as he looked at the two people walking out of the tent.
"What's the matter?" Nalanyu asked.
"They want to repeat their old trick and send killers to southern Xinjiang to deal with me and the generalissimo." Li Ye glanced at Mu Mu beside him and said lightly.
Nalan Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said angrily: "These bastards, His Majesty has only been away for a long time, and they actually want to repeat the scandals of previous years? Are they looking for death?!"
"That's what they think." Li Ye looked at Nalan Yu quietly, then looked back at Mu Mu. "Sister, go and call Mr. Xia Yunlan to the big tent."
Mu Mu said oh, turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Your Majesty's personal guards have come to southern Xinjiang? What about others, have they left?" Nalan Yu was a little shocked, because His Majesty's men in black never leave the side of the Emperor.
"When the time comes, who can keep him?" Li Ye looked at him and smiled lightly.
Nalan Yu opened his mouth to curse again, until Li Ye glared at him and said angrily: "I tell you, I am not afraid of these killers."
"What if their realm is much higher than yours? What should I do, brother?" Li Ye said with a smile.
"Can't beat him! It doesn't matter if I can't beat him. Don't you still have His Majesty's personal guards? They are the best among masters." Nalan Yu suddenly thought about it and looked at Li Ye with a mysterious face.
Li Ye also had a smile on his face and said softly: "Let's dig a big hole so that they can never come back!"
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yu nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. Your Majesty's personal guards are here, and we'll bury all these bastards outside Xichun City to make fertilizer."
While the two were talking, Mu Mu and Xia Yunlan walked in.
"General Nalan, long time no see!" Xia Yunlan heard Nalan Yu's voice before he even entered the tent.
Both of them were personal guards of the emperor, but the difference was that Nalan Yu was in the light, while Xia Yunlan and others were in the dark.
"Commander Xia, we haven't had a drink for a long time. By the way, you just came from Fengyun City, didn't you bring a bar?" Nalan Yu also became addicted to alcohol when he saw his old friend.
Li Ye glared at him and said softly: "Let's talk business first."
Nalan Yu was stunned by what Li Ye said, and quickly replied: "Well, when will these bastards arrive?"
Xia Yunlan looked at him and replied coldly: "It might be three days, it might be seven days."
After all, it takes more than a few days to get to Southern Xinjiang from the Central Region.
Nalan Yu looked at Li Ye and said with a smile: "Fortunately, everything was in time."
Li Ye looked at the two of them, frowned, and said in a solemn voice: "You two should think carefully about how to deal with it. The eldest prince should be here tomorrow."
Xia Yunlan and Nalan Yu nodded and replied in unison: "But it will be punished by the imperial master."
