Chapter 180 Pretend to be defeated and take the bait [ask for monthly ticket]
"My Lord Immortal, Immortal." As the guard watched the two people walking away, his voice suddenly stopped.
When Zhengxi came back, it was already half an incense stick of time.
"This information must not be leaked, especially within the harem." Zhengxi suddenly looked at him sternly.
"Husband." Concubine Li's voice suddenly came from behind, like a bolt from the blue.
The two turned around in astonishment, only to see that Concubine Li was standing there with a charming smile on her face.
"Why are you still here? What did you hear?" Zhengxi's eyes were sharp and murderous.
This Concubine Li has always been at odds with Lan'er. Once she knows about the defeat, it will definitely be known to everyone... And once Lan'er knows about her son's failure, she will definitely collapse! I can't let her down again. I have let her down for too many years.
Seeing Zhengxi standing there like a sculpture, Concubine Li chuckled and said, "My husband, are you really that afraid of me?"
Zhengxi's smile was a little strange, and his voice was not tender and sweet at all: "What did you hear?"
"You said we were defeated? How could we be defeated? Is the news true?" Concubine Li was not as stupid as imagined. She was just lost in thought as she analyzed the situation.
The guard glanced at Zhengxi, and both of them felt a pang in their hearts.
"The consequences of knowing military secrets, do you know what the consequences are?" Zhengxi's eyes moved and he looked around, as vigilant as a wolf king about to attack its prey.
Concubine Li frowned slightly, and suddenly realized the hidden meaning in Zhengxi's words.
"Husband, are you afraid that I will spread the news? Do you really think of me like that?" Concubine Li asked with some displeasure.
"Master." The guard shook his head at Zhengxi.
Sure enough, several maids filed in from the garden. When they saw Zhengxi, they all bowed, "My Lord, Lady Li Fei."
…………
A deafening sound of horse hooves came from far and near, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Looking up, I saw a group of people and horses appearing at the end of the road, with bright flags fluttering in the wind under the blue sky, bright armor shining with dazzling luster, jagged swords piercing straight into the sky, emitting a cold light, and the horses' hooves against the ground made a heavy rumbling sound. They rushed towards me with an unstoppable momentum, and the dust they raised rolled like a tide, which was daunting and terrifying.
With a shout of "kill", the entire wilderness was filled with the sharp sound of swords clashing.
The deafening roar was mixed with screams, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, the fields were filled with blood, and the ground was stained with blood...
"Report, Prime Minister. It's done, it's done." General Yuan Gu hurried forward with a happy look on his face.
"Oh? Very good, very good!" Prime Minister Murong Yinxin's sickly face was full of excitement, and an irrepressible excitement surged in his heart...
"Should we pursue the victory?" Yuan Gu asked hurriedly.
Murong Yinxin frowned slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy."
He had barely finished speaking when he changed his words: "Chase them, don't leave any behind. If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze."
Yuan Gu clasped his fists and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Seeing Yuan Gu leaving in a hurry, Murong Yinxin was also very excited, and his excitement infected every soldier present.
"Prime Minister, what are you doing?" Seeing Murong Yinxin hurriedly boarding his warhorse, his personal guard Xiao Liu asked hurriedly. The horse leaped into the air, and Murong Yinxin smiled and said, "Such a good opportunity, how can I miss you?" After saying that, he whipped the horse and galloped away. Only the sound of "da da da" echoed on the path.
"Prime Minister, the great wizard hasn't come back yet, is that possible?" Before he could finish his words, he saw the other party's troops disappear in front of him. The Prime Minister must have forgotten that he could not go to the battlefield in person during the war, which was something the wizard had reminded him of thousands of times before he left...
But before I could come to my senses, I saw someone standing in front of me out of nowhere.
"Princess? Why are you here?" Xiaoliu was a little surprised.
"How can this princess ignore such good news?" Although she said so, there was no joy on Yingjia's face.
Xiaoliu didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded, fearing that he would be embarrassed by the princess as soon as the prime minister left.
"Xiao Liu, go tell the Demon King this good news, let him share in the joy."
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Yingjia's face.
"Yes." Xiao Liu raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely unwilling. He didn't have the time to spare. So he said to a guard beside him, "Go quickly and tell the princess what she said."
"Wait, bring back the other ear of the devil by the way."
Yingjia didn't make things difficult for Xiaoliu. He just smiled and explained everything to him before walking away.
The guard scratched his head and looked at Xiaoliu: "Brother Xiaoliu, the devil's ears, I dare not touch them, right?"
Xiao Liu spit and said, "How dare you? If you don't take his ear back, are you willing to exchange it with your own ear?"
"Son, son, I'll go right away." The guard was so scared that he swallowed his saliva and hurried to the cell.
"Hey, wait, don't forget to tell the Demon King that this was all ordered by his sister. You are just an executioner..." Xiao Liu sneered and patted the guard's shoulder.
"Yes, thank you, Brother Xiaoliu." The guard thanked.
Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Alright, alright, be a little braver."

"Master, master, the battle is defeated." Li Ye ran over with an embarrassed look on his face.
It was strange, it was June or July, but it was unusually cold. The dust from horse hooves had turned the whole world into a gray world. The dead branches trembled in the cold wind, and the whole earth seemed to be covered by snow at any time...
"Well done. Pass the order immediately. All armies should continue to pretend to fail and make sure to lure Murong Yinxin in." Xi Ye's slender and sharp black eyes were like an eagle in the dark night.
A smile welled up on Li Ye's lips, and he stared at Xi Ye with his piercing eyes and said, "Master, do you think the Prime Minister will fall for it?"
"What? Are you afraid that he won't be fooled?" Xiye was in a very good mood at the moment. Even the warhorse under his crotch was infected by his master's mood and kept snorting in response.
"Everyone says that Murong Yinxin is extremely intelligent and has been familiar with military books since childhood. However, I am not sure about him," Li Ye analyzed.
"Hahaha, very good, our General Li also knows how to study the art of war and understand the opponent's psychology. I bet he will come this time. How can he give up such a big piece of meat and bone?" Xi Ye whipped the horse and the horse neighed and went forward.
At this time, there was a lot of noise in the military camp. Soldiers were shouting, horses were neighing, and the sound of swords and halberds colliding could be heard...
"Pass the order down, brothers, keep pretending to be defeated, there will be a harvest tonight." Li Ye's voice penetrated every inch of the camp, and the soldiers were extremely excited to hear it.
