……
Li Er gave the order, and the 30,000 cavalrymen set off towards Mount Peak Dragon.
These thirty thousand Great Tang cavalrymen were wearing armor and holding flags, especially the Li Erlong flag. It was extremely eye-catching.
He knew that Li Er was going to attack the mountain bandits of Mount Fenglong. If he didn't know, he would have thought that he was going to conquer the Turks!
Xu Maogong urged his horse to Li Er's side and suggested,""Your Majesty, this humble subject thinks that it is better to disguise the army.”
"Why do you say that?" Li Eryi raised his eyebrows." I'll personally lead the army, and the divine soldiers will descend from the heavens. Those bandits will definitely be terrified!”
Looking at Li Er's confident expression, Xu Maogong smiled bitterly in his heart."Your Majesty has just left the shallow waters and has already forgotten everything!”
"Think about it, those mountain bandits didn't even show you any respect in Youzhou City!”
"Terrified? Hehe, I'm afraid that the army will be in vain!”
In the previous battle, Xu Maogong had already experienced Lin Chen's strength. Whether it was strategy, courage, weapons, or generals, the Tang soldiers were no match for Lin Chen.
Although the Great Tang had many soldiers, they were completely useless in the face of absolute strategy. The two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers were a good example.
Xu Maogong was already certain that he would lose this crusade.
Of course, Xu Maogong didn't dare to say these words. Li Er was determined to conquer Mount Fenglong. If he tried to persuade him, he wouldn't have a good ending.
Moreover, with the relationship between Li Xiu Ning and Li Lizhi, even if Li Er was defeated, his life would not be in danger.
Actually, Xu Maogong didn't dissuade him because he wanted to fight Lin Chen. Although he knew that he was no match for Lin Chen, this opportunity to fight with an expert was rare.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that we shouldn't make a big fuss about conquering Mount Peak Dragon. Think about it, Marquis Ping Yang is already Lin Chen's wife. Although you don't admit it, this is the truth.”
"Lin Chen is already considered a relative of the royal family. If you carry out such a large-scale expedition and the world finds out, you will lose the face of the royal family.”
"Also, your goal is to bring back Marquis Ping Yang and Princess Chang Le. If you cause a storm, where would Marquis Ping Yang and Princess Chang Le's face be?”Xu Maogong persuaded.
Hearing this, Li Er pondered. He felt that what Xu Maogong said made sense.
If the world knew that his royal sister and daughter had been taken away by bandits, he would lose all his face.
"Minister Xu, then what should we do according to your words?”Li Er asked.
Xu Maogong smiled faintly." If I were to use my plan, I would need to disguise the army as bandits. If we were to fight, it would look like a battle between bandits to outsiders. It would not affect the dignity of the royal family at all.”
There was one more thing that Xu Maogong did not say. If they were defeated, it would not bring shame to the Tang army.
"The Great Tang's Heavenly Soldiers disguised as bandits?”Li Er frowned and felt that it was a little demeaning.
However, compared to losing face, it was better to pretend to be a mountain bandit.
"Alright, let's do as you say.”Li Er said softly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"One more thing. Generals, you must not reveal your real names. Otherwise, with your reputation, I'm afraid the bandits will guess Your Majesty's identity.”
"Alright, we'll do as you say."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Maogong passed down Li Er's orders, and the thirty thousand soldiers changed their appearances and disguised themselves as bandits. Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Cheng Yaojin also became the leaders of the bandits.
After changing his clothes, Cheng Yaojin grinned and said,"Second Brother Qin, I didn't expect that we would become bandits again. This reminds me of the scene when we were gathering at the tiled mound!”
Qin Qiong also sighed." Yeah, it really has the flavor of the past. Thinking back, we were invincible at the Wa Gang Righteous Assembly.”
"That was in the past." Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows and whispered into Qin Qiong's ear,""Second brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. You can't use your true abilities in this expedition against Mount Fenglong.”
"Eh? Why?" Qin Qiong asked in puzzlement.
"The relationship between the bandits and His Majesty is not simple. Anyway, just listen to me. We have been brothers for so many years.”Cheng Yaojin whispered.
"Oh, I know. You're talking about the matter of Marquis Ping Yang, right?”
"It's not that simple." Cheng Yaojin narrowed her eyes." Just listen to me anyway."”
Qin Qiong looked at Cheng Yaojin in confusion. What was Old Cheng up to?
'Forget it, Youzhou City is in danger this time. Thanks to the help of the heroes of Mount Peak Dragon, although Your Majesty has issued an edict to attack, I can't bite the hand that feeds me.'
It would be best if I could persuade them to make peace and avoid a fight. If not…then I'll pretend to be defeated.
Qin Qiong was matchless in benevolence and righteousness. Repaying kindness with ingratitude, it was impossible for him to do it.
In this 30,000 strong army, other than Li Er who was full of confidence, the other generals did not have high morale. They were even a little depressed. After all, everyone in Mount Fenglong had made contributions!
However, what they didn't expect was that there was someone even more depressed than them on Mount Peak Dragon.
Peak Dragon Mountain Stronghold, in the main hall.
It was noon, and Lin Chen, Li Xiu Ning, and Li Lizhi were having lunch together.
After coming back from Youzhou City, the relationship between the three people had become very harmonious. Li Lizhi became more virtuous while Li Xiuning became the wife of her master.
Everything should have been perfect, but Lin Chen was extremely depressed.
"Husband, what's wrong? Do you have a bad appetite?" Li Lizhi asked softly.
"I'm fine. You guys eat." Lin Chen replied perfunctorily as he stared straight at Li Xiu Ning.
Li Xiuning didn't look at him and continued eating.
In fact, Li Xiu Ning was pretending to be calm. The shyness in her beautiful eyes was evidence.
Lin Chen stared at Li Xiu Ning, feeling more and more depressed. Let's see how long you can pretend. There's no one like you who doesn't keep his promise at all!
Alright, you're not looking at me, right? I'll give you a reminder.
"Cough cough!" Lin Chen coughed dryly and then laughed,""First Madam, did you manage to rescue your brother from the last battle?”
"Yes, I did." Li Xiu Ning nodded lightly.
"Oh, how was my performance in the battle of Youzhou City?”Lin Chen continued to ask.
"Mhm, very good. Husband is both wise and brave, defeating the Turks.”Li Xiu Ning replied again.
Lin Chen was furious. Did I ask you to praise me?
"You…"
"Husband, I'm full. Eat slowly.”
Lin Chen still wanted to ask, but Li Xiu Ning didn't give him the chance. She turned around and left.
" Hey, don't go. You…" Lin Chen was even more depressed when he saw Li Xiu Ning leave.
"I'm not eating anymore. I can't eat this meal anymore!”
Li Lizhi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile,""Husband, what happened?”
"You still have the cheek to laugh? Your aunt doesn't have any integrity at all. We agreed that if we save your father and her brother, we'll sleep together.”Lin Chen said angrily.
Li Lizhi couldn't help but laugh.
"You're still laughing? I'm about to die of anger!”Lin Chen glared at Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi held Lin Chen's hand." Husband, calm down first. I know the reason. You won't be angry after I tell you."”
"What reason? Don't lie to me.”Lin Chen sat down unhappily.
"Can I fool you?" Li Lizhi smiled and said," Husband, you've misunderstood me. It's not that I didn't keep my promise, but because…"
"Because of what?"
" Because…" Li Lizhi's face suddenly turned red. She did not know what to say, so she placed her hand on Lin Chen's stomach.
"Husband, do you understand a woman's hidden disease?”Li Lizhi said shyly.
" What hidden disease? Is she sick…"
"Wait, you mean!" Lin Chen suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Li Lizhi in surprise.
Li Lizhi nodded shyly.
"Aiya, so it's about this. You should have said so earlier! I have a magic treasure!" Lin Chen said loudly.
"Magic treasure? What magic treasure?" Li Lizhi was puzzled.
Lin Chen ignored Li Lizhi and quickly ran out of the door." I'll explain to you later. I'll go and see First Madam first.”
So it's about her period. First Madam is such a strong-willed person. She can't go back on her word.
Hehe, alright, this time the system rewarded me with junk, it's finally useful!
A thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind as he opened his inventory. Among the Special Items, there was a pile of…sanitary pads!
