Heavenly meteor, crossing into the imperial concubine
"The king's generals and soldiers have all assembled!"
Lan Lingxuan wore a black armor, exuding an aura of elegance and grandeur. His raven-black hair danced in the wind as he stood tall on the high platform, his majestic presence overwhelming, completely overshadowing Lan Lingzhe beside him.
General Xu and General Liu stood respectfully on either side of Blue Leng's body, with Deputy General Li, the middle-aged deputy general from yesterday, standing beside General Xu.
General Xu stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Today, the king himself led the troops to conquer the Heavenly Dynasty. We must drive those turtle sons out of our Qiling Kingdom!"
"Expel the Qilin Kingdom! Expel the Qilin Kingdom!" The generals and soldiers shouted in unison, their voices of tens of thousands of people gathering together to shake the sky.
Lan Lingxuan waved his hand grandly, "Let's go to battle!"
The two armies faced off against each other, with Zhong Líyǐng, clad in silver armor, standing atop his warhorse, gazing out at Lán Líng Xuān from afar.
"Prince Xuan, the Crown Prince has been waiting for a long time! The gift you sent is very much to my liking, haha!" Zhong Lisheng burst out laughing, with a hint of mockery on his face, provokingly staring at Lan Lingxuan in front of him.
"Prince Zhongli likes it, but...". In response to Zhongli Ying's provocation, Lan Lingxuan didn't get angry, and slowly said, "But I'm afraid Prince Zhongli can't take it away!"
"Then let's wait and see what the Marquis of Xuan will do!" As soon as the last word fell, Zhong Lisheng drew his sword and stood up, with one foot on the horse's back, he charged towards Lan Lingxuan.
"Hum!" Blue Ling Xuan coldly hummed and drew his sword to meet the enemy, "Clang! Clang! Clang!" The two swords collided, producing a series of metallic crashing sounds. Then, soldiers from both sides also drew their swords, and the earth-shaking roars and the clashing sounds of weapons filled the air.
The two men's palms clashed, and Blue Lingxuan was as stable as Mount Tai, while Zhong Lishi retreated several steps, the outcome was clear! Zhong Lishi steadied himself, his eyes filled with a sinister gaze towards Blue Lingxuan. "Withdraw!" The sound of internal energy being poured out spread throughout the battlefield, and upon hearing it, the soldiers of the Tian Shao Kingdom immediately stopped their movements and quickly retreated back to their own camp. "Prince Xuan, today was just a small test, don't get too excited too early!" Zhong Lishi glanced at the corner of the city wall as he left, then whipped his horse and galloped away.
The country of Tian Shao came quickly and went quickly, I think today's battle is just a probe.
In the commander's tent of the great army, "Third brother won this battle very easily today." Blue Lingzhe said with a slant on his chair.
Lan Lingxuan seemed to have not heard his words, staring at the map of the Ministry of War on the table and discussing with the two generals. Lan Lingzhe did not get a response, and a dark gleam flashed in his downcast eyes, "Let you be proud for a few more days, Prince Lanlingxuan!"
"The Crown Prince, have some tea." Deputy General Li busied himself, diligently serving and pouring tea for Lan Lingyu.
Lan Lingdi took a sip of tea and put down his teacup. "Can Vice General Li take the Crown Prince on a trip around?"
"Of course, Your Highness, this way." Li Deputy General's grandson seemed to be following behind Lan Lingzhe, without a hint of the demeanor a military man should have.
"Both generals discussed tactics with Third Brother, why didn't Deputy General Li participate?" Blue Lingzhe asked in a seemingly casual tone.
When it comes to this, Vice General Li's eyes reveal a hint of resentment. That General Xu has always looked down on him and suppressed him in the army. This time, knowing that Prince Wang and the Crown Prince are coming, and that Prince Xuan is the commander-in-chief, he had thought of using the opportunity to curry favor with Prince Xuan, but Prince Xuan ignored him completely, making him think for a moment that General Xu must have spoken ill of him in front of Prince Xuan. "Hmph! The Crown Prince doesn't know, that old thing Xu Hong relies on his status as a general to always suppress me, and he never lets me participate in important matters. Isn't it because he's afraid that if I achieve merit, his position as a general will be lost?"
"Oh? No wonder, that Deputy General Li must be a hero in a useless place. That General Xu looks like he's just and upright, but I didn't expect him to have such deep thoughts." Lan Lingzhe had a regretful expression, "The Crown Prince can see that Deputy General Li is a man of both bravery and strategy, if he were to lead troops in battle, he would definitely be exceptional. If the Crown Prince had the power, he would definitely promote Deputy General Li to General."
Li Deputy General was extremely grateful to Cao Lingzhe, bowing down, "This humble official thanks the Crown Prince for his recognition. If the Crown Prince needs this humble official's service in any way, I will definitely rush into boiling water and walk through fire without hesitation!"
"General Li, don't be polite, the Crown Prince is also a person who values talent. He still has a good impression of you." Lan Lingzhe patted General Li's shoulder with his hand, "You should know that to sit in that general's position, it's not just about being good at strategy and fighting, but also about seizing opportunities, do you understand?"
"Your Highness's reminder is that I must remember it in my heart!" Deputy General Li said with a glance. This Deputy General Li was not a fool, of course, and naturally understood the meaning behind Lan Lingzhe's words, which was why he changed from "lower official" to "subordinate" in just a moment.
"Haha, Deputy General Li is indeed a clever person. In that case, Deputy General Li can go and attend to his duties, while the Crown Prince will take a stroll around."
"Yes, Your Highness, slow down."
Ever since then, Zhong Líyǐng retreated and gathered his troops for three days.
"Grandfather, I think Zhong Liying is scared, it's been so many days and there's no news at all."
"That's right! Previously, they relied on their numerical superiority to swallow our five cities in one breath. Now that the Marquis Xu has arrived, they can only shrink into their shells and not dare to come out." General Xu chimed in agreement beside him.
Lan Lingxuan withdrew his gaze from the military map on the desk, leaned back in his chair and smiled, "Since he won't come out, then we'll flush him out!"
"Smash their turtle shells to pieces, see how they can hide then! Occupying our Qingling country for so long, it's time to return it!" Feng Qi's face was excited, rubbing his fists together.
"Your Highness, what if it's a plot by Zhong Lishi? What should we do?" General Liu asked with some concern.
"It's only after being hit by a conspiracy that one knows, Zhong Líyǐng is not even worthy of being my opponent!" Lan Língxuān gave an overbearing wave of his hand, "Gather 150,000 soldiers and attack the city!"
"Yes!"
Only seven people, including An Wei, traveled together for several days and got closer to the border. They heard more news about the war, and in restaurants, teahouses, and taverns, they talked most about Xuan Wangye Lan Lingxuan. On the third day of the arrival of the great army, Lan Lingxuan led 1.5 million troops to retake a city, defeating Tian Shao Kingdom badly, and the people of Qilin Kingdom applauded and praised him.
"Third Brother is indeed formidable! Zhong Lí Yǐng is not even worth looking at in his eyes!" Lan Ling Qi said with a somewhat proud tone, as if he was the one who had won the victory.
"And don't even get me started on whose man he is!" An Wei's tone became even more arrogant, but the crowd had already gotten used to it.
A loud crash, the door was violently kicked open from outside, a disheveled figure stumbled in from the doorway, crawling on all fours towards Lan Lingwei, "Big brother, save me!"
Xue Zi, who was just picked up by An Wei Xin not long ago, has been tortured by Zhen Ye every day since he recognized him as his runaway apprentice. The wound on his face has healed, but the wounds on his body have never stopped. Xue Zi is being bullied by Zhen Ye and can't run away or fight back. Among these people, only Lan Ling Qi can be considered a good person, so whenever Xue Zi is bullied by Zhen Ye and can't take it anymore, he comes to find Lan Ling Qi for help. This is a scene that unfolds every day.
"Waaah, big brother, save me quickly! Waaah."
"You stinky little brat! You still dare to run? Let's see how I'll deal with you! Today's training will be doubled!" Maybe it was Xue Zi's escape that stimulated him, but this time after catching him, Zhen Xie vowed to continue teaching him martial arts. This master had made up his mind!
"Master and apprentice will be played to death by you! Don't ah!" Xue Zi cried out desperately, hugging Lan Lingqi tightly and refusing to let go.
"You have no choice! Are you going to behave or suffer?" Zhen Xie curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing eight teeth, a standard smile, but in Xue Qi's eyes, it was a chilling sight that made her back feel numb.
"Little boots, it's better for you to listen obediently." Lan Ling comforted him by patting his shoulder. Xue Zi rolled her eyes, he was too pitiful! Not a single person helped him!
"You're too heartless! Ahh..." Xue Zi angrily shouted as he was dragged out by Zhen Ye, and then there was no more noise.
On the second day at noon, several people arrived in the next town of Guocheng. After passing through Guocheng and traveling for about another day, they can reach the border pass.
A few people planned to eat lunch and continue on their way, so they casually found a restaurant. As soon as they sat down, they heard a burst of discussion.
"Have you heard? Last night, Tian Shao-guo actually sneaked into our army and set fire to the grain supplies of several hundred thousand soldiers."
"What! Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true! Although it was discovered early, the fire spread extremely quickly due to strong winds. After the fire was extinguished, most of the grain had been burned up."
"Heavens! How can this be!"
"Zhong Lishi is really shameless! He can actually do such a thing." Lan Lingqi slammed his hand on the table, extremely angry. Without food, how could they continue to fight? If they had to wait for the imperial court to transport new grain, it would take at least ten days. What were they going to do during this time?
"We'll set off right after dinner." An Wei's face sank, the granary was the most heavily guarded place in the entire army, how could someone have sneaked in so easily.
After dinner, several people added some dry food and An Weixin decided to rush to the border overnight. If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive tonight.
"Alright, let's go."
"Hmm." After learning that the food for the 300,000-strong army had been burned to ashes, everyone's expression turned serious. Even the usually noisy Xue Ji and Zhen Ye quieted down.
"Shaoye?" Just as several people were about to set off, a calling voice came from behind. Turning back, they saw a woman in pink clothes not far away, her face smiling directly at Shao Nian.
"Miss Jia!" Shao Nian recognized the woman at a glance, it was indeed Jia Xinlian from Suicheng who had been kidnapped along with them. Shao Nian dismounted his horse and walked to Jia Xinlian's side, "How did Miss Jia end up here?"
"It's really Young Master Shao, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else." Jia Xinlian smiled slightly shyly, her tone full of surprise, "I came with my father, there's some business to discuss here, didn't expect to run into Young Master Shao like this."
"It turns out that we were going to pass by Bian Guan Road and continue on our journey."
"Border pass?" Jia Xinlian looked back at the young man, and saw An Weixin standing on horseback. "Is the Princess of Xuan going to find Prince Xuan?"
"Hmm, I heard that last night the Tian Shao Guo people set fire to our army's grain supplies. We were just about to rush over and take a look at the situation. If several hundred thousand troops don't have food, then this battle can't be fought."
"Is that so..."
"Miss Jia, we still have a long way to go. Let's meet again if there is an opportunity in the future." Shao Nian bid farewell and mounted his horse, ready to depart.
"Wait a minute, young master!" Seeing Shao Nian about to leave, Jia Xinlian hastily spoke out to stop him.
