Lao Ma didn't know if he understood what he said, so he squeaked louder.
But the horse is already very old. Even if it wants to go faster, it is unable to do so.
Moreover, its legs are also short, so no matter how fast it runs, it can only run at this speed.
Jingkong chased after him with his junior fellow apprentices, nagging Master why he didn't tell them about his safety earlier.
Master Wuchen laughed after hearing this. As long as Ping An's little wife is here, nothing will happen to the brat.
But in the past few years, he has been taking care of himself and ignored that kid. Why should he come back this time and find a reason?
What if that brat ignores him? Back then, he left that kid and ran away.
Fortunately, King Pingnan made such a big splash in the world this time.
He happened to take this opportunity to come back. If that kid had a conscience, seeing that the old man came all the way to save him, he might be moved and forgive him.
Master Wuchen stroked his beard. In the past few years, the boy didn't follow him. He was having fun by himself.
The few idiot apprentices behind him couldn't stop him at all.
Thinking of this, Master Wuchen snickered again.
Today's dinner in the military camp was an hour earlier than usual, and the food was very rich.
Pork stewed with cabbage, bacon roasted with radish, egg soup, rice and steamed buns are all available.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong also had dinner in the big kitchen. They sat with Shen Erlang Ye Mingxuan and discussed the arrangements for the north gate while eating.
Ye Mingzhe and Li Chaoyang sat at the same table with Master Yao. The food on the table was similar to that of the soldiers.
There was just an extra plate of scrambled eggs, which Ye Mingzhe asked the kitchen to add specially for Mr. Yao Er.
Mr. Yao Er saw that the prince and princess ate the same food as the soldiers. How dare he do anything special? So he didn't touch the plate of eggs.
Ye Mingzhe noticed his concerns and smiled heartily, "Brother Yao, I am pressed for time today and I cannot entertain you properly. Please don't mind.
After beating King Pingnan's people away, I will go to Chunmanlou to set up a table. Brother Yao and I will not return until we are drunk. "
Mr. Yao immediately cupped his hand and said, "Brother Mingzhe, you're welcome. This food is very good."
He glanced at Li Yunze again and asked, "Brother Mingzhe, Brother Chaoyang, do such noble people as Your Highness and Empress also eat with the soldiers?"
Li Chaoyang took a bite of the steamed bun and said matter-of-factly: "Yes, we all eat them together. My brother and sister-in-law never do anything special. They eat whatever the soldiers eat."
Mr. Yao Er said with admiration: "I didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress to be so approachable. No wonder they are so popular."
Ye Mingzhe said nonchalantly: "What is this? In the past few years, my brother-in-law and the villagers ate and lived together, did farm work together, and studied high-yield grains.
The steamed buns and rice we eat now were all brought back from far away by my sister and brother-in-law. That was when we really suffered.
The reason why the two of them went to such great lengths was to prevent the people from enduring hunger. "
Master Yao suddenly realized, "No wonder I heard that His Highness disappeared for several years. It turned out that he went to get high-yield food for the people of Yunchao Kingdom. He is really a good prince who cares about the world. If he does not ascend to the great treasure, it will be unforgivable."
Ye Mingzhe waved his hand, "My brother-in-law doesn't care about that seat. He often tells us that anyone can sit in that seat and he has no objection.
He only has one request, that is, he must treat the people of Yunchao Kingdom well.
But his second brother, who was born as a concubine, couldn't do such a simple thing. Ever since he became the emperor, he only cared about his own enjoyment, and the things he did were really despicable. "
Speaking of this, Ye Mingzhe sighed heavily, "My brother-in-law said that as the only legitimate son of the royal family, he must stand up to save the people from misery, let alone let the Li family bear the infamy of bringing disaster to the country and the people."
After hearing this, Mr. Yao Er was very moved and bowed his hands towards Li Yunze in admiration, "It's really admirable that His Highness has such a big heart at such a young age."
"My brother-in-law said that this is his responsibility as the legitimate son of the Li family." Ye Mingzhe took a steamed bun and gave it to Mr. Yao Er.
"Brother Yao, you must be tired and hungry after traveling for so many days, so just have a bite. After this battle is over, if you don't want to go to a restaurant to eat, my brother will cook some dishes for you. You take the wind and wash away the dust."
"Oh, Brother Mingzhe can actually cook?" Mr. Yao Er looked at him with interest.
Ye Mingzhe said modestly: "I can only cook a few simple home-cooked dishes. Brother Yao should not dislike it when the time comes."
"Of course not. I feel very honored to have Brother Mingzhe cook in person." Master Yao hugged his fist, "Then I'll wait to try Brother Mingzhe's cooking."
Ye Mingzhe smiled and nodded.
Li Chaoyang took a bite of steamed buns and a bite of vegetables, hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth.
This kid Mingzhe is getting more and more eloquent. He talks in one way and can call everyone a brother.
Shen Erlang and Ye Mingxuan finished cooking quickly and went to the playground to gather.
The two of them will lead 50,000 troops and 1,000 cavalry to guard the north gate today.
Listening to Ping An's analysis just now, Qiao Guanyun should send troops to find a breakthrough at the north gate.
Shen Erlang got on his horse and said, "Mingxuan, the people who went to explore the mountain have been setting out for more than an hour, and they should be back soon. I will take two groups of people to have a look first. When everyone arrives, you will lead the army there immediately."
"I know, second brother."
The cavalry army was already in position, and 50,000 troops were also running over one after another.
After everyone arrived, Ye Mingxuan waved his hand, and the team left the playground in an orderly manner.
Li Yunze looked at the large army walking away and ordered the guards behind him: "Ask Yan Er to send thirty skilled guards to follow them. They must protect my eldest brother and General Shen."
"Yes, Your Highness."
In the evening, General Tian led an army of 150,000 men and rushed towards the west gate of Jincheng with great momentum.
An hour ago, Qiao Guanyun led tens of thousands of troops and his secret guards through Maiyun Mountain towards the north gate.
A man in black rode up to General Tian and whispered in his ear:
"General, the martial arts masters invited by the prince are all nearby. As soon as Li Yunze appears, they will take action immediately."
"Okay, today we must kill the young prince to avenge the second young master." General Tian gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Over the years he has followed King Pingnan, he has the best relationship with the second young master.
Knowing that he had been beheaded by the young prince, he wanted to lead his troops to kill him.
Li Yunze saw that King Pingnan's army was within shooting range. He picked up the bow and arrow next to him and put three arrows on the string.
Li Chaoyang and Mantang stood on his left and right, and they waved back slowly.
Suddenly thousands of arrows were fired, and the arrows shot at King Pingnan's army like a heavy rain.
The three arrows in Li Yunze's hand shot directly at General Tian in the middle and the two lieutenants beside him.
General Tian Da was very skilled. When he sensed the danger, he immediately raised the shield in his hand and ducked to the side, narrowly dodging the sword.
The deputy general on his right was not so lucky. Li Yunze's arrow hit him right in the heart.
In just a moment, the man fell from the horse with his eyes wide open.
Li Yunze knew that there must be many people assassinating him today, so instead of letting the army open the city gate to fight, he first fired arrows on the city wall.
They were on the city wall, while King Pingnan's army was below the city, so they had no advantage.
Soon all the soldiers in the front row fell.
General Tian felt that continuing like this was not an option, and immediately ordered, "Retreat back."
