Ye Li nodded in agreement. She thought for a moment and said, "However, Feng City is different from Bian City. It is located at the intersection of Xiling's north, south, east, and west. We have to be careful of reinforcements. If we are surrounded, Chen Yun may not be able to handle it. " Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment and tilted his head. "There shouldn't be many reinforcements. Nanzhao has already sent out its troops. After news of Long Yang's death spread, the kingdoms of the Western Regions are also restless. Even if they want to send reinforcements, they may not be able to. Besides … I don't think that the Emperor Of Xiling really wants Lei Tengfeng to live … "
"The Emperor Of Xiling?" Ye Li had a flash of inspiration. "Lei Zhenting is leading troops outside, and now Lei Tengfeng is trapped in Feng City. This is indeed an opportunity for the Emperor Of Xiling … "Although the Emperor Of Xiling was weak and incompetent, for such a weak and incompetent emperor to have not been succeeded by Lei Zhenting for more than 20 years, he should have some ability. Although the current situation was very disadvantageous for Xiling, if the Emperor Of Xiling wanted to get rid of Zhennan Palace, this was the best opportunity.
"You sent people to find the Emperor Of Xiling?" Ye Li looked up and asked softly.
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly. "Fourth Young Master Xu." Among the five sons of the Xu family, other than the genius Xu Qingchen, the most skilled and most suited to be a lobbyist was the fourth young master of the Xu family, Xu Qingbai. Most importantly, most people, including Lei Zhenting, still thought that the fourth young master of the Xu family was still farming in the northwest. Who would have thought that Xu Qingbai had secretly run to the Emperor Of Xiling's city to cut off Lei Tengfeng's escape route?
"Isn't that too dangerous?" Ye Li frowned and asked worriedly. Everything they said was based on the assumption that the Emperor Of Xiling was willing to destroy Zhennan Palace at all costs. If the Emperor Of Xiling was still rational or unwilling to do so, then Xu Qingbai would be in danger.
Mo Xiuyao played with Ye Li's hand and said softly, "Don't worry. I've hired people to protect him in secret. There won't be any problems."
Ye Li was a little surprised by his confidence. "Who is it?"
"Ling Tiehan and a team of Qi Lin." Mo Xiuyao laughed. "Besides, even if the Emperor Of Xiling really did detain Xu Qingbai, he wouldn't dare to kill him in this situation. At most, he'll use him to negotiate with us. I'll try to save him. Li, I've said before that I'll protect anyone you care about. I won't let him take any risks. "
Hearing this, Ye Li's heart softened. She gently leaned into Mo Xiuyao's arms. For Ling Tiehan to protect Xu Qingbai, Mo Xiuyao had to pay a price. Just from this point alone, it was clear that he had put in a lot of effort. Besides, Xu Qingbai was also a grown man. He had his own ambitions and aspirations. Ye Li couldn't stop him from doing everything for his safety. If he didn't want to go, Mo Xiuyao couldn't force him. However, she was a little unhappy that she didn't know about this at all.
"Prince is really far-sighted … he's already made so many arrangements without anyone noticing?" Ye Li lightly leaned against Mo Xiuyao's chest. After being married for so many years, Mo Xiuyao could tell that she was unhappy just by hearing her voice. He hugged Ye Li and laughed softly. "Doesn't Li dislike these things? As long as Li doesn't like it, why don't you leave it to me? Besides, this was decided before the battle. If Li knew about it at that time, wouldn't Li be put in a difficult position in front of Lady Xu? "
"Prince is really considerate. Should I thank you?" Ye Li raised her head and looked at him with a smile.
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Of course I am the most considerate husband. Has Li seen anyone better than I? "
Ye Li rolled her eyes at him in exasperation. "Good person? Is there anyone in the world more black-hearted than you, Prince? I have to be careful. Maybe one day, I'll be tricked by you. "
Mo Xiuyao laughed loudly. "Wife can see that husband is so black-hearted. This means that you aren't so innocent. Aren't we a match made in heaven? Husband definitely won't trick Li Li. "
Standing outside the door, Feng Zhiyao had a conflicted expression. He couldn't decide whether to go in and disturb them. Perhaps Wang Ye was confessing his feelings to Wang Fei. What match made in heaven … Prince, you really have thick skin!
"Feng San, what is it? Why aren't you going in? "Zhang Qilan who had followed behind them looked at Feng San who was standing at the door with a frown.
Feng Zhiyao gave a soft cough and glanced exasperatedly at Zhang Qilan. He said loudly, "Prince, this subordinate has something to see you about." After being inexplicably glared at, Zhang Qilan felt even more inexplicable and touched his nose. Did he say something wrong?
"Come in." From inside the tent, Mo Xiuyao's voice said faintly.
Entering the tent, he saw that both the Prince and Wang Fei were calmly looking at him. Feng Zhiyao instantly felt that the awkwardness in his heart had become awkward. He really couldn't stay calm. Feng Zhiyao scolded himself in his heart. Ye Li looked at him with a smile and asked, "Feng San, General Zhang, what is it?"
Zhang Qilan looked strangely at Feng Zhiyao and reported in a clear voice, "Wang Fei, we are less than ten li from Feng City. This subordinate requests to lead the troops at the front." Ye Li said with a smile, "General has come at the right time. Just now, Prince and I had discussed it. Chen Yun should lead the vanguard. They are young and don't have much experience. Such a small matter isn't worth General's personal attention. "Zhang Qilan was a straightforward person and didn't have any thoughts of stealing credit. Hearing Ye Li's words, he felt it was reasonable and nodded, saying, "If that's the case, this subordinate will follow your orders."
Mo Xiuyao said, "The terrain around Feng City is complicated. Chen Yun and the others are still young. You still have to watch from the back to prevent them from falling into an ambush. "
Zhang Qilan nodded and said seriously, "Prince, don't worry. This subordinate understands." Mo Xiuyao nodded and looked at Feng Zhiyao on the side. Zhang Qilan had come to ask to fight. What had Feng Zhiyao come to do?
Feng Zhiyao had also come to ask to fight. But he had been a beat slower after hearing Mo Xiuyao's words, and Zhang Qilan had taken the lead. Now that Mo Xiuyao had rejected Zhang Qilan's request, he had nothing to say. To prevent Mo Xiuyao from settling the score, he hurriedly left with Zhang Qilan.
On the border between Da Chu State and Xi Ling, the two armies were in a stalemate. For hundreds of years, there had been many confrontations between the two armies on the border of the two countries. But this time, it was different from the past. The Mohist army that was supposed to protect Da Chu State stood on the border of Xi Ling. And the Xiling Army, who had been eyeing Da Chu State covetously, stood on Da Chu State's land, determined to break through the Mohist army's defense and return to Xi Ling. But whether it was the Mohist army or Lu Jinxian, they were not to be trifled with. Even though Jhennam Of Gojoseon of Xi Ling was famous all over the world, breaking through the blockade of 400,000 troops was not something that could be done overnight. Moreover, Lu Jinxian had made it clear that he did not want to destroy the enemy, but only wanted to defend. It was almost moonlight, but the Xiling Army still could not push back the Mohist army's defense line by even one mile. And Murong Shen's 200,000 troops had already come north from the south, and were approaching day by day.
