Leng Yu's eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed and he shook his head.
"The King of Chu State has made it known that he will fight to the death against Daning State. We must fight this battle. If it weren't for the fact that there are people from Beihai State waiting behind us, we should have ended this battle three days ago. It’s a battle.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lingzi turned pale and hurried in panting.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, something happened."
This sentence made several people, including Liu Dechang and Luo Lan, freeze on the spot. Leng Yu knitted his eyebrows together and asked anxiously,
"What happened?"
Xiao Lingzi exhaled heavily, clenched his fists, and replied with a dark face:
"Zhang Yuan is here..."
These four words seemed like a bomb about to explode, causing the three people sitting on the chairs to stand up in surprise.
Liu Dechang asked in a low voice with a livid face,
"Where are the others? Something happened in the capital?"
Leng Yu and Luo Lan also looked at Xiao Lingzi with furrowed brows, alertly waiting for him to speak.
Xiao Lingzi swallowed her saliva and said with sobs:
"He...he is resting. He has been traveling continuously. He is tired and tired. He has not eaten for several days and nights. When he comes here, he can't speak."
Hearing this, Leng Yu suddenly felt a nameless distress welling up in his heart. To make Zhang Yuan run here to find him regardless of his life, something big must have happened in the capital.
So, he, Liu Dechang and Luo Lan quickly came to Zhang Yuan.
When they saw Zhang Yuan with messy hair and dirty face, lowering his head and biting the steamed buns, Luo Lan's tears instantly filled his eyes, Leng Yu clenched his fists bitterly, and slowly Kneeling down, putting one hand on his shoulder, he choked and said:
"Brother, I made you suffer. What happened?"
When Zhang Yuan saw Leng Yu, he stopped chewing the steamed buns, then grinned and started crying.
"My lord, I finally... finally see you."
His crying made several people present choke. Xiao Lingzi directly handed the kettle to him and whispered softly:
"There's no rush at this moment, let's drink some water and talk about it later!"
Zhang Yuan stretched out his chapped and dirty hands, took the kettle from Xiao Lingzi, and drank heavily...
Seeing his embarrassment, Luo Lan couldn't help but shed tears. She turned her face away, wiped her tears secretly, and waited for Zhang Yuan to finish the water.
After a while, Zhang Yuan took the kettle away from his mouth, raised his sleeves to wipe the corners of his mouth, and said impatiently:
"Your Majesty, after General Liu left, a large number of Chu people poured into the capital. I knew at that time that General Liu might have fallen into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Those Chu people, led by Li Tianyang, controlled all the officials in the capital. , I still want to invade the palace. Fortunately, General Liu left behind those who were guarding the imperial city before he left. However, the troops in the capital are really limited. I am afraid that more Chu people will enter the capital and we will not be able to resist it, so I thought of coming. The pursuit of General Liu lasted for three months. I don’t know how many things happened in the capital during these three months. My lord, let’s go back quickly! Otherwise, the imperial city will not be protected!”
Zhang Yuan's words made Liu Dechang turn pale and take a few steps back. If it weren't for Xiao Lingzi behind him, he almost fell down.
Leng Yu's brows and eyes were suddenly filled with a ferocious look. He stood up slowly and said to Ah Hong:
"Arrange for Zhang Yuan to have a good rest."
He looked at Liu Dechang, who had an ugly face, and comforted him in a gentle voice:
"General Liu, don't be impatient. If you don't come this time, it will be difficult for us to suddenly break out of the siege. Now the people of Chu have occupied our capital, and we have besieged the king of Chu here, so we have a draw... "
After saying this, he said to Xiao Lingzi calmly: "Gather everyone to the camp, I have something to say."
With these words behind him, he clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves and walked quickly towards the door.
After a while, in Leng Yu's coach's camp, all the lieutenants were sitting on both sides, waiting quietly for Leng Yu to speak.
Leng Yu glanced at these people, his face was livid, and his voice was filled with anger and he said in a deep voice:
"Our war with the Chu State cannot wait until tomorrow. Let's go back and prepare for the war tonight. We vow to capture the Chu State's King Meng Xin alive."
Hearing this, Ayu asked puzzledly:
"Your Majesty, what about the people from Beihai Kingdom? If they take advantage of the chaos to attack us, we may not be able to deal with them."
What A Yu said was what Leng Yu was worried about. The reason why they trapped the Chu people in their tents instead of attacking them was to prevent Beihai from taking advantage of the situation. But now they couldn't control so much. He had to send Meng Xin to Capture them alive and rush to the capital as quickly as possible.
Zhang Yuan has been out for three months. It is unknown how many things have happened during this period. It is also unknown whether these Chu people will cause harm to the people. There are also his three children...
Thinking of this, his heart trembled. He didn't even dare to think about it. He was afraid that those Chu people would kill his children because of him...
The more he thought about this, the tighter his chest became. He did not dare to mention this to Luo Lan, so he had no choice but to end this endless battle as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible...
Leng Yu stabilized his emotions and said in a cold voice:
"We can't care about that much anymore, and we don't have much time to defend here. Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi, and Xiao Ningzi. The three of you will lead 30,000 people to set up an ambush on the road from the Beihai state-owned tent to here. Once the opponent dares to move, , sniper them immediately, and the rest of the people, take everyone with you and attack the Chu military camp with all your strength. Remember, you must capture Meng Xin and his son Meng Letu alive."
After listening to his instructions, Xiao Lingzi and others clasped their fists together and replied sternly:
"My subordinate understands."
Leng Yu stood up, adjusted his shirt, and shouted with a ferocious expression:
"Brothers, in this battle, we can only win, not lose."
After saying that, he waved and was about to set off. Luo Lan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"My lord, just make arrangements at the rear. Your injuries have not fully recovered, so it is not appropriate to use force."
Leng Yu looked at her seriously, shaking his head tenderly,
"Don't worry, madam, I will be more careful, but it's you. It's dark and the visibility is not good. Don't go out. You must be obedient and stay here well until I come back."
He left these words, and without waiting for Luo Lan's response, he waved to the soldiers waiting for him, and everyone followed him and walked out of the camp together.
Looking at his back, Luo Lan's brows knitted into a knot. It seemed that Letu had not persuaded his father. This war was inevitable.
She just prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Meng Xin could surrender as soon as possible to reduce casualties.
The military camp of Daning Kingdom soon became quiet. Luo Lan kept pacing back and forth in the camp, feeling very anxious.
After a long while, she finally stopped and whispered calmly:
"No, I have to go take a look."
Seeing this, Ah Hong rushed forward to stop him.
"Princess, the prince specifically told you not to go. It's too dangerous. You should wait here."
"No, it's too tiring to wait like this. I have to go and have a look. I also want to confirm whether my father recognizes that woman."
After saying this, she came to the clothes rack and was about to get the fox fur coat. Seeing this, Ah Hong came over to help her get dressed and said softly:
"Then you have to be careful, otherwise if something happens to you, the prince will have to take your slave's life."
Luo Lan allowed Ah Hong to help her fasten the buttons on her cloak, and nodded calmly.
"I'll be fine. Just let me wait in the house, and nothing will happen."
At this moment, a figure flashed outside, and Ah Hong's expression suddenly became tense. She quickly took off the short knife from her waist and said to Luo Lan alertly:
"Princess, be careful..."
