Chu Li said, "The battlefield is indeed not suitable for women, but the use of military strategy is very broad. It's not only on the battlefield, it can also be used during normal times."
Leng Qing said faintly, "It's useless everywhere, because she's a woman."
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
Leng Qiu said, "How is it useless? I heard that Lu Yu Rong is in charge of the Ren Public House. She commanded the Protectors of the High Duke's Public House to defeat the martial arts masters. She's amazing!"
"Aren't you still at a disadvantage in the hands of the Head Chief?" Leng Qing said.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "Miss Qing, don't listen to the rumors outside, they are all exaggerated. In fact, Lu Yurong didn't suffer much."
"That's right." Leng Qiu hurriedly nodded and said, "Before the Head Chief came out, Lu Yurong was victorious in every battle and had never been defeated. Big Sister, you have a meticulous mind. If you could command the troops, you would definitely be victorious in every battle."
Chu Li laughed. Leng Qiu's words were too unbelievable.
He smiled and said, "Miss Qing, actually, the key to using military strategy is not the strategy, but the human heart. Only by being able to see through the human heart can one be able to use strategy properly. If one cannot see through the human heart, no matter how brilliant the strategy is, it will be useless."
"Is Lu Yurong capable of that?" Leng Qing asked.
Chu Li said, "Miss Qing, have you noticed Lu Yurong's behavior?"
"Yes." Leng Qing nodded slowly.
She had been studying military strategies and books all this while. Among the women of the Great Ji Dynasty, Lu Yurong was the best at strategizing. She could suppress men and no one could stop her.
Later, with the appearance of Chu Li, she barely managed to suppress Lu Yurong's limelight.
Chu Li said, "I don't know if you can tell that Lu Yurong can read other people's minds."
"See through other people's thoughts?" Leng Qing frowned.
Chu Li said, "She can see down to the smallest detail and see straight into people's hearts. Lu Yurong has this ability. She can read people's minds through their words and actions. Although it's not foolproof, it's not far from the truth. This is the basis of wisdom."
"I see …" Leng Qing looked into the distance thoughtfully.
Lu Yurong was talking to Princess Lu in a low voice, smiling coldly.
Two middle-aged knights were guarding downstairs while Prince Bao climbed up the tall building alone.
Chu Li sized up the tall building.
It was about thirty meters tall and covered an area of more than a hundred square meters. Its style was simple and unadorned, and most of it was built with bluestone. It had experienced countless years of wind and rain, and was mottled with the vicissitudes of life.
Prince Bao went up the stairs and held onto the railing. His purple robe fluttered in the wind as he looked down at the crowd. He raised his voice and said, "I won't say much about the rules of the Hunting Ceremony. I just want to warn you."
Prince Bao's voice rang clearly in everyone's ears, "This is a battlefield. You're surrounded by your comrades, and you're facing your enemies. There's only one thing you need to do, protect your comrades, and destroy your enemies … This time, you'll be divided into five teams. Whoever wins in the end will be marked as a middle-ranked army!"
"Put on your armor!"
Groups of soldiers and princes gathered together and entered a dense forest not far away.
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror and watched as they entered the dense forest. First, each of them received a set of armor. After putting it on, they put down their iron helmets and covered their faces. Then, they began to draw waist tags from a box.
Those who drew a waist token of the same color would have their arms tied with a cloth of the same color.
Soon, the five teams were separated.
After putting on their armor and riding on their horses, even those who were close to them would not be able to recognize each other. The princes and the soldiers were one.
Even those with sharp eyes could see it, but at this time, they could not care less about the identity of the other party.
The princes would not be able to recognize them either. There was no need to show mercy at all. A middle-ranked army was not something that could be found all the time!
"Red Team, this is your marching map. Blue Team, this is your … Alright, each of you set off according to the marching map. There's food, horse feed, and water over there. The rest is up to you!" A middle-aged man's voice shouted.
The thundering sound of hooves could be heard. Groups of neatly armored cavalrymen slowly came out of the dense forest.
The ladies looked at them in awe.
Under the sunlight, their armor shone brightly. The iron helmets covered their faces, but it made them look even more stern and ferocious. The smell of iron and blood from the war hit them in the face.
They seemed to be showing off as they rode their horses slowly past the ladies. A group of twenty people quickly disappeared into the grassland far away.
"Wow …" Leng Qiu exclaimed.
Leng Qing also stared at them without blinking until they disappeared from her sight. Her eyes were shining.
Chu Li looked at one of the cavalrymen thoughtfully.
Leng Qiu turned to look at him. "Head Chief, impressive, right?"
"They are quite impressive." Chu Li smiled. "Are they all elites from the frontier?"
"Of course. They all have military merits. I heard that they have killed at least two Li Dynasty's cavalrymen. They are very powerful! "Leng Qiu smiled.
Chu Li nodded.
"Head Chief, what did you see?" Leng Qing asked.
Her eyes were sharp enough to see that Chu Li's expression was strange.
Chu Li frowned. "One of the cavalrymen is not very appropriate."
"Inappropriate?" Leng Qing was startled and asked in surprise, "What do you mean inappropriate?"
Chu Li did not say a word. He replayed the actions of the cavalrymen in his mind.
"Head Chief, what do you mean?" Leng Qing frowned.
Chu Li pondered. "Logically, this shouldn't have happened. Miss Qing, go to Prince Bao and tell him. It's better to be prepared."
"What is it?" Leng Qing stared at him in dissatisfaction.
Chu Li said, "There might be a spy in the dark."
"A spy?" Leng Qing was stunned. She shook her head. "Impossible!"
These elite soldiers had gone through many rounds of checks to ensure that every one of them had a clean background. There was nothing suspicious about them. Otherwise, they would not have been sent to Fairy's Capital and fought with the Imperial Princes.
Chu Li smiled. "I think it's impossible too. But I trust my own eyes more. Whether it's true or not, I'll tell Prince Bao. If anything happens, it won't be good."
"Prince Bao won't believe it. He'll definitely scold you. He'll say that you want to be in the limelight." Leng Qing shook her head.
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Even if I get scolded, it's better than saying nothing."
"Yes, sister. Just tell him. The Head Chief won't make a mistake!" Leng Qiu nodded.
Leng Qing stared at her sister and sighed helplessly. "Alright, I'll go crazy with you for once. Your reputation as the Head Chief Chu is finally out!"
Chu Li smiled.
Leng Qing did not ride her horse. She lifted her dress and walked to the front of the towering building.
Two middle-aged cavalrymen stood in front of the building quietly.
Leng Qing closed fist saluted. She reported that she had something important to tell Prince Bao. The two cavalrymen opened the way for her to go upstairs.
Her actions attracted the attention of the ladies.
Lu Yurong squinted her eyes. She looked at Leng Qing and then at Chu Li. She had a feeling that Leng Qing's actions were related to Chu Li.
Leng Qing carefully stepped on the stairs and went upstairs.
