C328 Arriving at Li City(2)

Seeing Lan Xuehan like this, the generals present were filled with admiration. They originally thought that Lan Xuehan would not be able to bear the hardships of the journey, but they did not expect that a woman like her would be tougher than a group of men.

Even when it came to food and accommodation, she also knew a lot. Such a strange woman, they really had to cultivate for several lifetimes before they could follow her!

And Dongfang Lyi clearly saw all of this in his eyes. After running around for so many days, not to mention others. Even a man like him couldn't take it anymore. However, she did not complain or complain. Instead, she taught the soldiers the ability to survive in the wild.

This kind of girl, he seemed to understand why Third Brother had planted deep roots in her!

Finally, after a month of marching, Lan Xuehan and the rest finally arrived at the border of Zihua Country and left the city.

King Qing and Su Qinglan had already received the news that Lan Xuehan and the rest were coming, so Su Qinglan was waiting for them at the city gate.

Looking at Lan Xuehan and Dongfang Lyi who were covered in dust, Su Qinglan said with a smile on his handsome face, "I have received the news that you are coming a long time ago, so my father specially ordered me to welcome you here. Let's go. I will bring you to rest first, and then we will meet my father tomorrow. "

Lan Xuehan frowned when she heard this. "This isn't good, right? We belong to the younger generation and are subordinates. Shouldn't we go and pay our respects now? "

She did not want to be accused of not knowing etiquette and respect on the first day she came here!

Su Qinglan looked at her and said, "Before you came, someone had already sent a message to my father. He said he wanted him to take care of his wife. Tell me, he begged once every hundred or eighty years. Will Father not agree?"

Looking at his delighted expression, even Lan Xuehan, who was calm and composed, could not help but blush. However, she secretly cursed Dongfang Jin in her heart.

Since he had already said so, it would be hypocritical if she insisted! After all, Dongfang Jin had an extraordinary relationship with the King Qing's mansion. She didn't need to treat him as an outsider.

"Alright, let's rest for a day and meet King Qing tomorrow!"

After the discussion, Su Qinglan led them to the guest house. Although it was simple and crude, it was good that it was clean.

Lan Xuehan did not bring Liuyun along on this trip. After all, this was the military camp. If a female went in and out, it would inevitably cause people to criticize. Furthermore, she was going to look for Yao at that time, so it would be somewhat inconvenient to bring her along.

She was always alone so there was nothing that she was not used to this time.

After Su Qinglan brought them over, he went with Dongfang Lyi to settle down these soldiers. Lan Xuehan had been running around for days and was already tired. She was happy that there were arrangements made and she was free.

Hence, she rested early!

After Su Qinglan brought Dongfang Lyi to settle down the soldiers, they went to Dongfang Lyi's residence. At that moment, Su Qinglan's expression became serious.

"What is going on? Why did Jin let Xuehan come over? Could it be that he doesn't know the dangers of the battlefield? Even if she was highly skilled in martial arts and was Old Man Tianshan's disciple, it was inevitable that accidents would happen! With Jin's precious character, why would I let her take such a risk? "

Dongfang Lyi smiled and consoled, "Third Sister-in-law came this time to secretly resolve the internal matters of Zihua Country and reduce the casualties between the two countries."

Then, he explained the relationship between Lan Xuehan and the second princess of Zihua Country to Su Qinglan. After Su Qinglan heard it, he revealed a clear look.

"I told you! How could that brat be at ease and send his wife here? Even if he was at ease, he wouldn't be able to bear to see her!

But you guys came at the right time. We don't have enough troops right now. In addition, there is an expert from the Zihua Country helping us. Father and I have already been defeated! Now, our morale is low. If you can lead us to a victory, it's a great deed!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Lyi's eyes carried a questioning look. "What's going on?"

When Su Qinglan mentioned this matter, his face was filled with grief and indignation." I don't know what kind of expert was hired by the Zihua Country, but he is an expert when it comes to setting up formations and using weapons. Even his father, who was a veteran in leading troops, was defeated by him one after another. I don't need to say anything about it, it really makes me depressed!"

" What exactly is the situation? "

"A few days ago, that person set up a Heaven and Earth Formation a hundred li away from the city. Our people went to break the formation, but they suffered heavy casualties. Then, according to the reports from the spies, they said that they would send a group of people to transport grain over. We originally thought that since we can't break the formation... We'll go and intercept their grain, and then we can delay it for a while. But we didn't expect them to know about our deployment in advance. If it wasn't for the fact that the people who knew about it were all trusted subordinates of my father for many years, I would have suspected that there was a spy on our side!"

The more Su Qinglan spoke, the angrier he became. When he finally thought of his dead brother, his eyes turned bloodshot.

Those were his personal soldiers who had followed him for many years, brothers who had experienced life and death together with him. However, he didn't expect that in the end, he wouldn't even be able to take revenge for them!

When Dongfang Lyi heard what he said, his face turned solemn. He knew Su Qinglan's character very well. He was the person who valued friendship the most among the three of them.

Therefore, it was imaginable how he felt!

"I'll go and take a look tomorrow. I'll definitely find a way to solve this problem, and then I'll take revenge for you!"

Su Qinglan looked at him and patted his shoulder. His expression was touched. "Good brother!"

The next day, Su Qinglan brought Lan Xuehan and the others to greet King Qing.

He was wearing a suit of armor and had a handsome face. He had been through a lot in the battlefield. He gave people a sense of resolution and wisdom.

After he saw Lan Xuehan, he looked her up and down. He laughed loudly and said, "Jin'er really has good taste! Not bad, not bad."

When Lan Xuehan heard this, she cupped her fists and bowed, "Thank you for the compliment, King Uncle Qing!"

Dongfang Jin had told her before she came that King Qing was someone he admired, so it was only right for him to call him Uncle Qing when they met.

Obviously, King Qing was very pleased with this. He replied with a smile, "That's right. According to seniority, you can follow Jin'er and call me Uncle Qing. Uncle Qing is not too much!"

After chatting for a while, Dongfang Lyi brought up the matter that Su Qinglan had told him yesterday. Obviously, King Qing had also suffered a heavy blow. His face was ashen, and his eyes were slightly red.

"So, I volunteered to bring a group of men and horses to break the formation today!" Dongfang Lyi's eyes were filled with confidence.

Lan Xuehan heard him and did not say anything. Her brows were tightly knitted and her expression was worried.

Until Dongfang Lyi requested the order, she looked at Dongfang Lyi and then said with a cold and firm expression, "No!"

Dongfang Lyi, who was refuted, looked at her unhappily. His eyes were deep. "Give me a reason!"

"You don't know who they are yet, nor do you know what their formation is. He hastily led his men to break the formation. Wouldn't it be a waste of your life? Thus, I feel that we should discuss our strategy now. Then we can act!"
