The world is shocked by 140, and an envoy comes from Xiling

  The Western Hills send an envoy.

  On the stage, two people were fighting with quick and agile movements, making it difficult to distinguish between them. Ye Li's three-foot-long green sword was like a poisonous snake, constantly attacking Chen Yun's vital points, while Chen Yun was not to be outdone, his long spear dancing without any gaps, and the two were temporarily at a stalemate. Ye Li looked at the calm and composed young general in front of him, smiled faintly, and with a swift movement, his long sword transformed into a cold rainbow, shooting straight towards Chen Yun's face. Chen Yun hastily swung his spear to block it.

  However, he saw that the long sword which was originally rushing towards him suddenly turned and stuck to the gun body, sliding up smoothly. Chen Yun only felt a slight daze, and Ye Li's sword tip had already reached his throat, while the other hand firmly grasped his gun.

  Ye Li raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Chen Xiao Wei?"

  Chen Yun put down his gun and bowed deeply, saying: "The princess's swordsmanship is profound, I admit defeat." Ye Li didn't make things difficult for him, and she also put away her long sword, casually tossing it to Zhuo Jing who was standing at the edge of the stage. She turned around and smiled at the generals below, saying: "Is there any other general who doesn't submit? Feel free to come up and try!" The generals looked at each other, and a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and holding a pair of gauntlets jumped onto the stage, bowing his head...

  "Under the Mo family army, Chi state's deputy general Lu Feng led the troops to welcome Princess Wang Gao."

  Ye Li nodded slightly and took two steps back. This General Lu was different from Chen Yun, who had a slender build and agile movements. Just by looking at him, you could tell that he was definitely a powerful opponent. Just look at those twin hammers of his, each weighing at least several dozen kilograms - being hit by such a weapon wouldn't be very pleasant. Ye Li wasn't one to show off, so she directly drew out the most convenient

  The dagger in her hand. Lu Feng looked at the dagger with a hint of surprise and asked, "This is the queen's weapon?" Ye Li nodded and said, "General Lu, please."

  "That's the end, Princess be careful." Lu Feng said, a palm with wind and thunder momentum swept towards Ye Li, Ye Li quickly dodged, the dagger in her hand flashing cold light under the morning sun.

  Everyone below the stage clearly saw that when Ye Li's hand appeared with a dagger, it was more dangerous than when she held a long sword. Several times, Ye Li's dagger narrowly passed by Lu Feng's vital points, and if not for Lu Feng's immense strength, every move and style contained an irresistible force that made her have to avoid its edge, fearing that Lu Feng would have been injured by that small

  The clever dagger fell. Ye Li obviously understood Lu Feng's advantages and disadvantages, so she didn't confront him head-on, but instead used her physical advantage to constantly consume Lu Feng's physical strength while waiting for an opportunity to strike. Although she failed to injure Lu Feng, she still managed to give him a considerable fright. Once again, Lu Feng raised his twin hammers and smashed them towards Ye Li.

  Ye Li dodged to the side, executed a swift kick and then slapped her left hand on the ground while her right hand thrust a dagger towards Lu Feng's left shoulder. Lu Feng reacted quickly, raising his right shield, but Ye Li had already flipped behind him in an instant, "General Lu..."

  Lu Feng's body stiffened, the icy dagger pressed against his spine. Lu Feng, who had been through many battles, had seen all sorts of injuries and knew that if Ye Li's knife were to pierce deeper, he would be paralyzed for life. He put down his twin hammers and turned around to face Ye Li, bowing his head in respect: "Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing my life. I surrender." Ye Li smiled and said:

  "The general's martial arts skills are exceptional, his movements swift and precise. I am also very impressed."

  The arena fell silent for a moment, then suddenly erupted in cheers, and the soldiers present all shouted "good"! Having won two consecutive matches, the various generals were convinced of Ye Lian's skills, and naturally no one dared to challenge her again. Ye Lian had already fought two consecutive matches, and even if she won again, it would be an unfair victory, leaving a group of men with the reputation of ganging up on a woman in a battle of wheels.

  As Ye Li walked down from the stage, everyone rushed to congratulate her. Lü Jin Xian cupped his hands and smiled: "The princess has shown off her skills today, truly making us subordinates admire her to the point of prostration. We rough people don't understand etiquette and have offended the princess, please forgive us." Ye Li smiled: "General Lü is being too polite, no need to take it to heart. I still have some matters to attend to in the city, and there are also things to be done in the military camp..."

  "General Lao, don't worry." Lyu Jinxian hastily replied, "Your Highness can rest assured." Ye Li nodded and smiled as she glanced at Yun Tian, saying: "Commander Yun..."

  Yun Tong rubbed his head, looking unhappy and said: "Princess, I was wrong." Ye Li nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "Knowing one's mistakes and being able to change is a great virtue. Have you been reading books lately?"

  Recalling the days when he was sent to the Mo family army by the princess and the mountain of books in his room that were piled higher than a person, Yun Tian's smile became even more bitter. "I've read it, I just finished reading 'The Art of War'." Ye Li smiled even more warmly, "Your progress is not bad, it just so happens that I need several copies of 'The Art of War' as teaching materials to instruct the soldiers. So, would you please copy ten copies for me, Yun school lieutenant? Three days from now?"

  "Yes, Princess." Yun Tian's eyes widened, his body stiffened and his expression was dull as he stared at Ye Li turning to leave.

  "Brother, what's wrong?" Chen Yun asked, patting his shoulder as he looked at him with a mournful expression.

  Yun Tong silently looked at him for a moment, then turned and left. You're just a pig if you want to fight with me again.

  Chen Yun looked at him in confusion as he walked away dejectedly, then glanced at his own hands. It was just a fight, no need to be so petty, right? Feng Zhiyao walked up and tapped his shoulder with the folded fan in her hand, laughing: "You don't have to mind, that kid is really annoying when it comes to copying books. If Chen School Master has nothing better to do, he can go help him write a few pages, guaranteed he'll be grateful to you from now on."

  Brother.

  "Copy books?" Chen Yun's face twisted a bit, recalling the scene of being chased by his father and teacher to copy books when he was young. He hastily shook his head, "Forget it. I'll go see if there's anything to eat, and wait for Cloud School Lieutenant to get tired from copying before sending some over to supplement him." As for copying books, forget about it, his handwriting is not even presentable.

  When they left the city, they were in a hurry, but on their way back, they didn't seem so rushed. Ye Li and his group strolled along, also taking the opportunity to observe the situation at various checkpoints and among the common people. Although a great war was imminent, the people of Jiangxia seemed to be still very much at ease. They were going about their daily lives in an orderly manner, as if there was no difference from peacetime. Even though they had just experienced a bloody battle yesterday, or even if they had almost...

  The city has fallen. Early in the morning, ordinary people still go out as usual, open their shops as usual, and there is no sign of fear or anxiety in their eyes after experiencing war.

  Feng Zhi walked alongside Ye Li, fanning herself with a folding fan while explaining to Ye Li: "These civilians completely trust the Mo family army from the bottom of their hearts. They think that as long as the Mo family army is present, the city will never fall, and their homes will never be occupied by the enemy."

  Ye Li let out a soft sigh, unsure whether to praise or worry. The fact that the people had such faith in them was something for the Mohist army to be proud of. But... when everyone placed all their trust and responsibility on the Mohist army, relying on them, this was a heavy burden. No wonder the successive masters of the Dingguo royal palace could never put down everything

  Cheng Shen Tui, because the Dingguo Wangfu and Mohist army have already become the pillars of Great Chu in spirit and in reality. If one day the Mohist army is no longer the Mohist army, will Great Chu still be that Great Chu?

  "Report to the princess, the messenger from Xiling requests an audience." Just as they were about to enter the mansion gate, General Yuan Pei was already waiting at the gate. Seeing Ye Li and others return, he hastily came forward to report. Ye Li slightly furrowed her brow and said: "The messenger from Xiling?"

  Yu Pei nodded solemnly and said, "Just now, the messenger from Xiling was seeking an audience outside the city. I took it upon myself to let them in, and they are currently waiting for Your Highness's summons in the outer courtyard." Ye Li nodded and said, "General Yu did well. Let's go see this messenger from Xiling. At a time like this, anyone who dares to enter Jiangxia is no ordinary person. Please invite them to the study."

  "Yes."

  Ye Li changed into a new set of clothes and returned to the study. Before long, General Yuan Pei led the envoys from Xiling into the room. The leader was an unremarkable middle-aged man with a plain face, followed by a military officer and three attendants. All five men wore simple robes and were unarmed, yet they seemed confident and fearless as they entered this city controlled by the Mohist army.

  A middle-aged man looked at Ye Lian and stepped forward, bowing his hand: "I am the guest of Nan Wangzuo in Xiling Town. Could it be that you are the queen of Dong Chu Dingguo?"

  "Please rise, Mr. Mo." Ye Li lightly raised her hand and smiled: "Mr. Mo, what brings you here on this trip?"

  Mo Fei glanced at the people sitting in the study and smiled: "Indeed, there is a small matter that the King of Town South wants to ask the Queen. However... I don't know if it's possible to discuss it with the Queen privately?" Ye Li smiled: "It's not impossible, but it's unnecessary. As the temporary commander of the Mo family army, it's unreasonable and inappropriate for me to have a private conversation with an enemy envoy. Moreover, there's nothing that can't be said in front of people, so Mr. Mo, if you have something to say, please just say it openly."

  Zhuo Jing coldly smiled and said: "Private conversation? Who knows if you're trying to find an opportunity to assassinate our princess?"

  Feng Zhi Yao lazily smiled and said: "Assassinating the queen might be beyond their capabilities, however, being cautious is always necessary."

  Isn't his face looking a bit unsightly, wanting to erupt, but he quickly endured it and looked up at Ye Li: "Since the princess says so, I won't force it either. I suppose everyone here is a trusted person of the princess and the Dingguo King's mansion?" Ye Li nodded indifferently, Mo Fei said: "Our king has a letter that wants to give to the princess, please take a look."

  After finishing, she took out a letter from her sleeve and presented it. Zhuo Jing stepped forward to take the letter, opened it, checked it for a while, and confirmed that there was no problem before handing it over to Ye Li. Ye Li opened the letterhead, glanced at it for a few moments, raised her head to look at Mo Fei standing below with an elegant and composed expression, smiled faintly, and then lowered her head to continue reading. It wasn't until after a while that she slowly folded up the letterhead, put it back in the envelope, and calmly looked at Mo Fei. Mo Fei smiled and said: "Princess, I wonder what the king meant by 'the princess's intention'?"

  "What's your intention?" Ye Li smiled and slowly looked at him, her voice lazy as she said: "Guards, take this person out and behead him for me!"
