Chapter 86 : Esteemed Sir Will Protect Me, Right? Ling Yu's First Battle
"Is Your Highness not afraid of death?"
If Xiao Xinyue stayed obediently in Yueyang, she would be completely fine.
But if she decided to go to Northern Lie, then it was hard to say.
Ming Chen looked at this bright and beautiful woman and asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid~"
Е́ n̈u m̃а
Xiao Xinyue lowered her eyes, playing with the wine cup in her hand, and said, "But... esteemed sir, there are always things a person must do."
"Xinyue has never left Yueyang in these twenty-odd years! I want to go out and see~"

"Since the matter started because of me, I must also be there for the end~"
"Xiao Xinyue is me, the second imperial daughter is me, there's no need to separate them. If 'the second imperial daughter Xiao Xinyue' dies, then I die too."
"If this trip to Northern Lie can gain some bargaining chips for the Great Qian, then Xinyue is willing."
She raised her head, her voice clear and bright, her eyes shining as she looked at Ming Chen. "At the very least, it can let the world see, let the enemy see, let future generations see, that the imperial daughter of the Great Qian is not a coward hiding in the shadows."

Ming Chen smiled. "Is that so~"
As members of the royal family, the world seemed to have overlooked this second-ranked imperial daughter, only knowing that she was a beauty, the cause of this chaotic war.
But people didn't know that she was also intelligent, also passionate, also benevolent... and possessed qualities that the outstanding Crown Prince lacked.
And what she lacked, perhaps... could be completed during the journey.

"Besides..."
After speaking her mind, Xiao Xinyue smiled cunningly, changed the subject, and looked at Ming Chen. "Esteemed sir will protect me, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~"
Ming Chen clicked his tongue and shook his head as if in regret. "Hard to say~"
"Hahaha~"
Xiao Xinyue laughed freely, still in the mood to joke with Ming Chen. "That's fine too~ It's just that after Xinyue dies, I'll just follow esteemed sir around~"
"Your Highness's words are a bit creepy..."
"A joke, a joke~ Esteemed sir, just do what you should do."

Night,
A gentle breeze blew, and green leaves swayed with the wind, falling onto a hard helmet.
The capital was prosperous, with singing and dancing in a time of peace.
The northern border, however, was a scene of desolation and grimness.
It had just rained, the ground was damp, and time was gradually entering autumn. The temperature dropped, adding a bit of chill to the northern border at night.
W ê b̀ n o v е̌ l Е n ùṁ á
The mountains were quiet, with no sign of human life. The soldiers were hidden on both sides of the valley, and the harsh environment made people feel miserable.
Someone couldn't help but raise their head and secretly look towards the highest point.

The new young general was there.
He had only arrived recently, and the news had not yet spread. The person sent from the capital had a mysterious background. It seemed that even the great general treated him with great respect.
As soon as he arrived, he adjusted the city's defense layout and made adjustments to a series of things such as troop training, duty, and military discipline.
But his figure really didn't look very convincing. It was unknown if he was some young master sent to gain merit.

The war was at a stalemate. The Northern Lie army was coming on strong, brave and skilled in battle, beating the Great Qian army back step by step.
The Great Qian had not won for a long time. Many people were pessimistic, only hoping to save their lives. The army's morale was scattered, and it was unknown if this person really had the ability to turn the tide.
It had been raining recently, and this new general had led them to this barren mountain to set up an ambush. It was unknown what he wanted to do.
And what about the person who was the focus of everyone's attention?

Ling Yu's brows were tightly furrowed. She squatted on the mountaintop, quietly looking north, her face composed. No one knew what this new general was thinking.
After leaving the capital that day, she had traveled day and night, arriving at the northern border battlefield in three days.
Еn̄ ū m̈a
The border was miserable, and the people were destitute. It was a completely different world from the prosperous capital.
But Ling Yu preferred it here. The air here made her feel comfortable.
The prosperity of the capital was fake. The desolation here was real.
Sitting idly in the capital and enjoying herself made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. Only by coming here could she realize her value.
Time was tight. She used the shortest amount of time to lay out all her preparations. Although she faced many doubts, fortunately, General Qu Yangshu, who was in charge, still recognized the imperial decree.
It had been raining continuously recently, and the ground was muddy. The enemy's garrison at Guanxi was located in a low-lying area. Ling Yu predicted that they would definitely move their camp and change their route, going to a town ten miles away to avoid the rain.

Troops and horses do not move before provisions and fodder.
The provisions and fodder would also definitely change their route. She was familiar with the terrain of the three prefectures on the battlefield and predicted that the enemy's grain transport would take this road.
So, she led a small team of men to set up an ambush here in advance overnight.
This was the difference between being on the battlefield and watching from a distance.
She could seize any opportunity at any time to take action and turn the tide of the battle bit by bit.
Time passed slowly. She looked at the north with a scorching gaze. She, the military supervisor of the three prefectures, was personally participating in this small ambush.

Cutting off a grain route and devouring a corps would not hurt the Northern Lie army's bones and muscles.
But this small victory was very important to her and to the Great Qian.

The Great Qian had not won for a long time.
The enemy army attacked the city with impunity. The morale of the Great Qian army was low, and they would only defend and not attack, slowly wearing down each other's military strength and resources.
The Northern Lie army did not like to drag things out, but the Great Qian could not afford to drag things out either. The Crown Prince had only given her one month.
Unless it was a major victory that turned the tide of the battle, the envoys would set off regardless of success or failure.
Ẁе̌ b̂ň о̄ v̂ ė ĺ Е́ ńū m̂а
Time was tight. She needed a victory to open up the situation, and she also needed this victory to prove her strength.
Her master's reputation was her master's, not hers.
The army was a realistic place. Only by leading the soldiers to victory could she win their respect. Leading them to their deaths would earn their contempt.
The night was quiet, and time passed exceptionally slowly. Ling Yu stared intently at the end of the mountain road. Her heart felt as if it was being fried in a pan of oil.

After an unknown amount of time, some of the tired soldiers could no longer keep their eyes open.
Suddenly, specks of firelight appeared in the distance.

Instantly, Ling Yu's eyes lit up.
The sound of horse hooves kicking the ground came from the distance. The faint moonlight shone down, and a team of several hundred people could be vaguely seen slowly walking in their direction.
They're here! They're here!
As this group of people got closer, Ling Yu unconsciously held her breath, and her heartbeat also quickened a bit.
Everything was as she had predicted.

"Brother, when do you think this war will end?"
The grain transport team moved forward unhurriedly.
The night made people drowsy. A young soldier yawned, looked at the vast, deserted mountains, and couldn't help but shake his head, asking the grain transport officer beside him.
Compared to the soldiers fighting on the front lines, their work was much easier, even a little boring.
"Soon, soon!"
The grain transport officer looked into the distance and smiled lightly. "General Tian is the pillar of our Northern Lie. He has never lost a battle~"

"Those wine bags and rice sacks of the Great Qian are no match for him at all."
"In a few days, the general will break through the three passes of the Great Qian, lead our iron cavalry, and charge straight to his capital city of Yueyang, to avenge the seventy years of national hatred of our Northern Lie..."

Speaking of his own general, the grain transport officer's eyes lit up, full of reverence.
And just then,
"Swoosh!"
A sharp arrow pierced the air.
