Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Night Raids on Enemy Camps
Thus, he instructed the subordinate who came to deliver the message, “Contact our men immediately, “Let them prepare for tonight’s expedition to the Ye Lan camp. They will definitely rescue Princess Ling Hua. We absolutely cannot let her suffer any humiliation. She is the direct princess of our Southern Region, representing the dignity of our entire Southern Region. If she really becomes a military prostitute that everyone can humiliate, then what will be the face of our Southern Region?”

Hearing Mu Lingfeng’s words, that person said, They instantly understood in their hearts. They did not feel that this matter was that serious in the morning, because when Imperial Concubine He landed in the Ye Lan military camp, the king did not care so much. They originally thought that the king would definitely plan for Princess Ling Hua’s encounter this time, but they did not expect that the king would care so much about Princess Ling Hua’s matter.

After hearing Mu Lingfeng’s words, That person also felt that the consequences of this matter were very serious. Once Princess Ling Hua really became a military prostitute in the army of Ye Lan, the entire southern border would become the laughingstock of the world. Although the southern border had been destroyed, they all knew that the current Prince Nanjiang Mu Ling Feng was planning to revive the southern border.

As long as the time is ripe, The rejuvenation of the Southern Region is still possible, so the reputation of the Southern Region is still very important. Thus, after pondering for a while, the man readily agreed, “Yes, Your Majesty, this subordinate will arrange it now. We will definitely gather all the people before dark. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, we can visit the Nightcrypt Camp and rescue Princess Ling Hua at night.”

Seeing that the man agreed, Mu Lingfeng’s expression slightly improved. He then waved his hand and said to the man, “Alright, then let’s do this first. You go down and arrange for everyone to gather at the city gate after dark. This prince will definitely show up on time.”

After hearing this, the man did not say anything else. He only nodded and replied, “Yes, this subordinate knows. Then this subordinate will leave.”

After saying that, he turned around and left the princess’ mansion of Tianshui Kingdom. Afterwards, Mu Lingfeng also said to Princess Liulian, “This king still has matters to attend to. I want to go out. You should rest early.” After saying that, he left the Princess’ Mansion as well.

Speaking of which, this Mu Lingfeng was truly aggrieved. Although he was currently holding the title of Southern Jiang King, due to the withering of the Southern Jiang Imperial Family, his power had long since disappeared. In addition, the destruction of Southern Jiang was caused by the Southern Jiang Imperial Family’s mistakes.

And the most important culprit was her, Mu Linghua, If she had obeyed her father’s orders, Marrying Chen Bao innocently as his wife, Instead of insisting on marrying Huyan Mingshuo as his concubine, it would not have triggered this chain of events, nor would it have provoked Huyan Mingshuo to become furious. He had forcefully attacked the southern border, leading to the destruction of the entire southern border. Therefore, Mu Linghua’s reputation in the hearts of the southern border subjects was extremely unbearable.

So he knew, If he didn’t give a strong explanation and directly ordered these people, If they were to rescue Mu Ling Hua, They’re definitely unwilling, Therefore, he had no choice but to link Mu Linghua’s honor and disgrace to the entire Southern Jiang Country. In this way, they were no longer willing. For the sake of the honor and disgrace of the entire Southern Jiang Country, they had no choice but to take action. Fortunately, this person also listened to his words. After seeing that person agree and went out to make arrangements, his heart felt a little relieved. Otherwise, he would really collapse.

During his two months in Tianshui Kingdom, He really shouted that the heavens should not call the earth ineffective, To think that he was a dignified Prince Nanjiang, not only did he possess a handsome appearance, he also had great revenge. He was actually trapped in a small Tianshui Kingdom, depressed and unambitious. This was not what he, Mu Lingfeng, wanted. Therefore, no matter what, he had to decide with Huyan Mingshuo tonight before he was willing to give up.

So after dinner that day, The genius had just been discredited, A group of masked men dressed in black had gathered on the walls of Tianshui Country’s capital. Although there weren’t many of them, there seemed to be only two to three hundred of them. All of them had ascended the walls barehanded. Just looking at their skills, it wasn’t hard to tell that these people were all carefully trained experts, and their martial arts foundations weren’t weak.

Mu Lingfeng looked at it. He couldn’t help but be overjoyed. With these people, Although he couldn’t face Huyan Mingshuo head-on, But to save a Mu Linghua, It shouldn’t be difficult, It would be nice if he could send Huyan Mingshuo some gifts as well, Thus, he said to everyone with satisfaction, “Thank you everyone, this king called everyone to come today, presumably someone has told you, the purpose of our night raid on the enemy camp tonight, is to save Princess Linghua, if possible, by the way, Ye Lan army food for this king burned, the so-called come and not to indecent also, we are also time, should give them some gift back, right?

This king also knows, Princess Ling Hua was indeed ashamed of her southern subjects, But her identity couldn’t be changed, As the direct princess of my Southern Jiang Country, Her life and death, honor and disgrace were closely related to Nanjiang, And now, the Nanjiang Kingdom was in deep trouble, “Therefore, Princess Ling Hua’s situation has a direct impact on the reputation and face of our Southern Jiang Country. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the risk of gathering all of you here. You should know that all the countries are hanging our Southern Jiang subjects at the Grand Ceremony, so I hope everyone can do their best tonight. If you succeed, you can also be famous for our Southern Jiang Yang.”

Actually, Mu Lingfeng was right. At a time like this, He shouldn’t have gathered his people together, Not long ago, Fu Yingran had just issued an order. Because the matter of the loyalty gu had been leaked, all countries were doing their utmost to kill the subjects of the Southern Region. In the name of Huyan Mingshuo, they had also ordered all countries to keep an eye on the imperial concubines of the Southern Region. Clearly, this was the rhythm of killing the Southern Region.

These people were originally complaining about Mu Lingfeng’s orders, Now that they heard his words, their morale was greatly boosted. The king was right. This humiliation of Mu Linghua, that is, the humiliation of the entire Southern Jiang Country, was something they could not tolerate. In addition, because all the countries were expelling the Nanjiang people, they had indeed lived a very grievous life. If tonight’s incident succeeded, they could also vent their anger.

Thus, they said to Mu Lingfeng, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Your subordinates will spare no effort to rescue Princess Ling Hua, and do their best to fulfill Your Majesty’s order to burn all the grain in Ye Lan, so that the people of Ye Lan can see the abilities of our Southern Warriors.”

Looking at the resolute expression in everyone’s eyes, Mu Lingfeng was quite satisfied. He nodded and waved his hand. He shouted, “Then I’ll have to trouble everyone. Let’s set off now.” As he spoke, he took the lead and sped towards the Ye Lan camp.

However, reality and imagination, It was often a violation. At this moment, the Ye Lan camp could be said to be heavily guarded. All the soldiers were waiting for them to fall into their trap. When they had sent people to spread the news about Mu Ling Hua, Mu Feng had already ordered them to prepare for the battle. As long as Mu Ling Feng and the others arrived, they would definitely be captured.

Therefore, as soon as Mu Lingfeng brought the hundreds of people into the camp, he tricked Mingshuo and the others into receiving the news. At this time, Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran were also having a good dinner. They were planning to gather the entire army to bring them to the commander’s tent to discuss the next battle plan.

Unexpectedly, a soldier suddenly rushed in anxiously and reported, “Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Princess, the soldiers guarding the camp came to report, “Mu Lingfeng has already sneaked into our camp with more than three hundred remnants of the Southern Region. It is said that their purpose is to rescue Mu Linghua and set fire to our grain. After the general learned the news, he did not dare to neglect them at all. He immediately asked his subordinates to ask His Highness the Crown Prince, Consort the Crown Prince, what should we do next?”

After the soldier had said those words, She looked straight at Fu Yingran, Waiting for her orders, It wasn’t that the soldiers of Ye Lan didn’t respect Huyan Mingshuo, but that they had long since gotten used to it, Ever since the Ye Lan army set out on this expedition, Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran seemed to have split up. Huyan Mingshuo had the final say in all matters of charging into the front lines. As for these small matters, it was Fu Yingran who had the final say. Therefore, the soldier was waiting for her to make a decision, so they could follow her instructions.

Seeing the soldier staring at him, Fu Yingran was accustomed to it, so after some consideration, she said to the soldier, “Since Prince Nanjiang has arrived, we naturally have to treat him well. Go tell the general that he doesn’t need to interfere and just let him in. Since he came all the way for Mu Linghua, how can we not let them meet?” You go down and have our people cooperate well. After the two of them meet, we’ll take them down in one go. We can’t let anyone say that our Ye Lan is unkind, right? ”

It had to be said that Fu Yingran’s actions were cruel. According to Fu Yingran’s thoughts, she planned to let Mu Lingfeng and the others enter the camp first. After he saw Mu Linghua, she would then surround them and capture them in one go. This way, she could not only achieve the desired effect, but also attack the enemy’s will to the greatest extent.

If they had stopped Mu Lingfeng and the others from entering the camp from the very beginning, then it will surely arouse their stubborn resistance, Although they could be annihilated in one fell swoop, they would have to pay a high price. However, if they were released first, then they would be shut down. That would not only achieve the desired effect, but also minimize their losses. It would also cause the two siblings to collapse. Why not?

Yeah, well, if I knew it was impossible from the start, If there was no hope, then there would be no disappointment. However, seeing that things were about to succeed, there was a huge reversal. All of her efforts were defeated. That kind of blow was undoubtedly fatal. This was also Fu Yingran’s cruelty. She was most skilled at destroying a person’s will and causing them to collapse in an instant.

Of course, the soldier could not understand Fu Yingran’s good intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be just a soldier. However, as a soldier, obeying orders was his duty. Thus, after listening to Fu Yingran’s instructions, he bowed to Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran and said, “Yes, Crown Princess, this subordinate will inform the Great General to make arrangements.” As he spoke, he withdrew from the marshal tent and sent orders to Great General Mu Feng’s tent.

After seeing the soldier retreat, Huyan Mingshuo stood up and walked to her side. He smiled and said, “Do you want to see the liveliness? It’s hard for King Nanjiang to get our Nightlan Camp to come here once. Why don’t I take you to admire the wind colors of King Nanjiang?”

Speaking of Mu Lingfeng, Huyan Mingshuo instantly overturned his jealousy. He recalled that Mu Lingfeng had boastfully said that he wanted to make Fu Yingran the Queen of the Southern Region. How could he, as a husband, bear this? Therefore, now that Mu Lingfeng had fallen to such a state, he couldn’t help but gloat in his heart. Therefore, he planned to bring Fu Yingran to see Mu Lingfeng’s miserable state, which would also stop the delusion in Mu Lingfeng’s heart.

As a person who had been nurtured by the culture of the 21st century, how could Fu Yingran not be able to see through Huyan Mingshuo’s thoughts?

However, it was always a good thing that someone cared about it. She originally did not intend to have any relationship with Mu Lingfeng. Since he cared about it, she had the responsibility to dispel his suspicions. This was also the key to the relationship between husband and wife. Otherwise, once it erupted in the future, it would inevitably affect the relationship between husband and wife.
