Ye Li nodded, "Thank you for your trust, general."
After receiving Murong Shen's commander's seal, Ye Li didn't delay any longer. She got up and prepared to return to Yonglin City. Murong Shen was a veteran on the battlefield. If it weren't for the sudden attack and the great disparity in strength, they wouldn't be so stretched. Naturally, Ye Li didn't need to meddle in the defense of Shattered Snow Pass. When she got out of the military camp, she saw Murong Ting walking towards her with a sword. "Ting 'er?"
"Eh?!" Murong Ting was in a hurry to find her father, but she stopped when she heard a familiar voice. She stared at the familiar yet strange person in front of her for a long time before she came to herself and pointed at her, "You … you …"
"How dare you!" Murong Shen came out behind her and glared at Murong Ting, "How can you be so rude to Childe Xu?"
"Childe Xu?!" Murong Ting screamed. Ye Li smiled and raised her eyebrows at Murong Ting, "I'm Xu Qingliu. Nice to meet you, Miss Murong."
Murong Ting blushed and quickly hid behind Murong Shen. She glared at Ye Li with resentment. Ye Li couldn't be blamed for suddenly becoming thin-skinned. She could only blame the man she was with for looking too good. Even if he didn't put on makeup to change his appearance, he still looked like a handsome and slightly childish young man. He didn't have the slightest bit of a girl's delicate appearance. Murong Ting had always boasted of her heroic character, but she had to admit that even if she wore men's clothes, she wouldn't look more like a boy than the person in front of her. Even though she knew that Ye Li was a real woman, Murong Ting couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw a handsome young man with a naive and childish look in her heart.
Looking at Murong Ting's rare blush, Ye Li couldn't help but smile at her. The young man in the sun was handsome and elegant. His black clothes couldn't hide his clean and clear childishness. Murong Ting could only stare at him more widely and scold him in her heart, "Evildoer!"
"General, I'll leave first." Ye Li didn't want to provoke Murong Ting anymore. She turned around and said goodbye to Murong Shen. Murong Shen nodded and said cautiously, "In that case, please take care of Yonglin City."
"I won't let you down." Ye Li smiled.
Mu Rongting looked at Ye Li and rolled her eyes. "Father, why … why is Young Master Xu going to Yonglin?"
Murong Shen frowned and said, "Young Master Xu is going to help Yun Ting and Xia Shu defend the city." Murong Ting quickly said, "I want to go too."
"Stop fooling around. Young Master Xu is going to do something serious. Why are you following him?"
Murong Ting was so angry that she stomped her feet. Previously, he said that she was a girl and could not go to the battlefield. Now, wasn't he asking Li Li to go to the battlefield? "I don't care, I also want to help defend the city! I'm Daddy's daughter, not a useless person who only knows how to eat for free in the barracks! Ah … Young Master Xu, can you take me with you? " Being so excited, Murong Ting forgot that Ye Li was still wearing men's clothes. She directly jumped on him and shook his sleeves, which attracted the attention of the soldiers passing by. Ye Li coughed softly, pulled her hands away and said with a smile, "Murong … men and women are different."
Murong Ting just noticed the strange eyes of the soldiers passing by. She quickly let go of her hands and made a face at Ye Li. She turned back and pulled her father to act like a spoiled child. "Father … let Ting go. I will never make trouble for others."
Murong Shen was pestered by her and had no choice but to look at Ye Li. Ye Li lowered her head and said with a smile, "If you don't worry, General, let Murong go with me." Murong Shen sighed. Now the situation was critical. There was not much difference between staying in Shattered Snow Pass and going to Yonglin City. Even if she stayed in Shattered Snow Pass, he could not take care of her when the battle really started. "Well, I'll have to trouble Young Master Xu to take care of this girl. If she dares to be willful and mischievous, Young Master Xu can punish her according to military law. You don't have to be merciful! "
"Thank you, father!" Murong Ting was overjoyed. She did not care about the military law that her father said later. At least this meant that her father was willing to treat her as a soldier and not as an insensible little girl, right?
"Thank you, father!" Murong Ting was overjoyed. She did not care about the military law that her father said later. At least this meant that her father was willing to treat her as a soldier and not as an insensible little girl, right?
After bidding farewell to Murong Shen, Ye Li and the others stopped in front of Shattered Snow Pass for less than two hours and then started to go back. Murong Ting rode on the back of the horse and looked at Ye Li's horse and the few Black Cloud Cavalry soldiers behind her with envy. Only a few people had such an imposing manner. If the whole Black Cloud Cavalry was in front of her, what a magnificent scene it would be. Just thinking about it made her blood boil. "Ah … Ah, Young Master Xu, why did you come to Shattered Snow Pass? My father is really not worried about you. No matter what I said, he would not let me go to the battlefield. But when you came, he was actually willing to hand over the defense of Yonglin to you. " Thinking of this, Murong Ting could not help but feel a little sour in her heart. Did her father really think that she was very useless, so he was unwilling to let her go to the battlefield?
Ye Li smiled and said, "I went to the southern border to settle some matters and coincidentally met you."
"Prince is actually willing to let you go to the southern border alone to settle some matters? Prince is really a good person. Not like my father, who always nags me that when a girl gets married, she has to stay at home obediently to do the housework and be virtuous … I don't want to stay at home obediently. "Murong Ting complained softly in dissatisfaction. Her last sentence was so soft that it was almost like a whisper. However, everyone present had excellent hearing. Naturally, they all heard it clearly. Yun Ting smiled and said, "Miss Murong, if you say that, Young Master Leng will cry." Murong Ting bared her teeth and snorted at Yun Ting. Then she patted her horse and ran to the front. Ye Li smiled and followed her. She smiled and said, "General Murong also dotes on you and is afraid that you will be in danger."
"I know, but my father only has one daughter, I also want my father to be proud of me. Also, I am not a child, I will not act impulsively. My father does not allow me to go to the battlefield. No matter how anxious I am, I will not secretly go behind his back. "
Ye Li nodded. Although Murong Ting was occasionally willful, she knew her limits and would not let others really worry about her.
When they returned to Yonglin City, Xia Shu had already followed several commanders of Black Cloud Cavalry to reinforce the defense of Yonglin City. Yun Ting had long been itching to do so. When he returned to the city, he told Ye Li that he did not have time to entertain her, the Princess Consort of Dingguo, and he also ran around. Murong Ting had no interest in Ye Li sitting in the study and reading a lot of files and maps. She turned her eyes and ran to find some young and strong men and clever women in the city, preparing to organize them. When the war came, although they could not go to the battlefield, it was not a problem for them to help take care of the wounded soldiers and deal with the logistics. Ye Li also agreed with her idea. Murong Ting, who had been restrained by Murong Shen for a long time, was even happier. She went with a smile.
Ye Li sat in the specially vacated study, looking at the map in front of her and frowning. She was obviously not a genius, at least not in commanding a large-scale battle. As a special soldier in her previous life, she was better at local small group battles and attacking the enemy's key points. Now, in the situation where they did not have the advantage of time or even the geographical advantage, they had to face the siege of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Let alone turning defeat into victory, they would be happy if they could successfully defend until the reinforcements arrived. The Shattered Snow Pass, which had not been broken by foreigners for hundreds of years, obviously gave Yonglin City a very safe feeling. Therefore, the defensive ability of the city wall of Yonglin City was not good at all, let alone the internal defense. Who would have thought that the soldiers stationed in the Shattered Snow Pass would one day have to face the attack from Da Chu State?
