Chapter 156 The Last Battle
Jiang Li sat in the tent, feeling uneasy.
This time, the southern Xinjiang invasion was sudden and on a larger scale than usual, like a dying tiger, making its last desperate pounce...
"Don't worry. The soldiers infected with the plague have recovered after several days of recuperation. Together with the reinforcements sent by the imperial court, Beichen has 30,000 more troops than Southern Xinjiang."
Chu Changxuan half-knelt in front of Jiang Li. Seeing her worried expression, his eyebrows also furrowed into a small hill.
"I know, but I just feel uneasy..."
Jiang Li had already informed Li Jinyuan about the collusion between Li Junlin and the Prince of Southern Xinjiang.
But after hearing this, his face froze for a moment and there was no further reaction.
Instead, he comforted her and told her not to worry, saying that he would handle the matter.
"And the Third Prince, he's Beichen's God of War, we have to trust him."
"But I'm just afraid that he'll get hurt..."
Chu Changxun had never seen a girl so distracted. For a moment, he felt a mixture of bitterness and jealousy.
It turns out that such a free and easy-going person like her can also be obsessed with someone...
"No, the prince is a martial arts master, no one can get close to him..."
"Really?"
"Um……"
In the past, Chu Changxun would never bother to tell such a lie to comfort others.
On the battlefield, swords and knives are blind. Even if Li Jinyuan had unparalleled martial arts skills, he couldn't defeat a hundred enemies alone and remain unscathed...
He knew he shouldn't lie to her, but he just didn't want to see her so worried. His heart would ache...
……
This time, Jiang Lanchuan and Li Jinyuan led their troops to the battlefield together.
The people in southern Xinjiang were originally suspicious about the plague in Beichen, but until they saw Jiang Lanchuan, their hearts completely died.
Lu Da was riding on the lead horse, covered in blood. Looking at Jiang Lanchuan, who was wearing silver armor and exuding a murderous aura, his heart trembled with disbelief.
"Oh, you're not even fully grown and you're already heading off to the battlefield. You really don't know your place!"
Even though he knew that he was no match for Jiang Lanchuan, Lu Da would never allow himself to admit defeat.
The latter did not respond, but slowly raised his thin lips.
Because that damn plague made him lie in bed for a month, and now that he can finally get out and stretch his muscles, he is going to kill some people!
"kill!"
As if to give himself courage, Lu Da roared fiercely, then clenched the big knife in his hand, squeezed his legs together, and rode his horse towards Jiang Lanchuan.
The smile on Jiang Lanchuan's lips grew wider, his dark eyes were as deep as a whirlpool, sucking people in tightly.
He stared at the carotid artery in Ruda's neck, like a beast staring at its prey, ready to give it a fatal blow at any time.
"Bang! — Bang!"
After only three moves between the long sword and the broadsword, the sound of metal collision stopped abruptly.
The next second, "Bang!"
The sword fell to the ground, and so did Lu Da's head...
Jiang Lanchuan turned over and dismounted. His face no longer had the lazy young man look he had in front of Jiang Li, but was now filled with solemnity.
The long sword lifted up Luda's hair and hung it on the sword head.
The man's fair and handsome face was stained with warm blood at some point, his breathing became heavier, and he looked particularly charming.
When the soldiers from southern Xinjiang saw that their general had been beheaded, they became like headless flies, panicked and at a loss.
"kill!"
The morale of Beichen's soldiers increased greatly, as if they wanted to vent all the humiliation they had suffered in previous battles.
……
In the military camp,
Li Junlin put his hands behind his back and walked quietly into the tent where Jiang Li was.
As soon as the curtain was opened, Chu Changxun's gentle and comforting voice reached my ears.
The man's deep eyes glared, and then he let out an almost unnoticeable self-deprecating laugh.
She really attracts bees and butterflies. So many annoying flies come here just by smelling her...
Then he still needs to worry...
Chu Changxun and Jiang Li felt the movement and looked towards the door at the same time.
A man in a dark robe was standing there, looking at them with a mocking expression.
Jiang Li frowned, not welcoming Li Junlin's arrival.
But since a higher-ranking official can crush someone more powerful than her, she still reluctantly stood up and bowed to Chu Changxun.
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Li didn't want to play along with him, so she simply stopped looking at her, sat back in her chair, picked up the cup and started drinking tea.
"Li'er is worried about the royal brother?"
But Jiang Li couldn't hide, as Li Junlin seemed unable to see her annoyance.
"As the prince's consort, it's only natural for me to worry about him."
"That's great! If I also had a princess like Li'er, I would definitely live a happier life than my third brother..."
As he spoke, Li Junlin's bottomless eyes were staring at Jiang Li's profile without blinking, making the girl feel like she was being pricked by a thorn.
"Your Highness is joking. Your future princess will surely be a hundred times better than me."
"No matter how good it is, it's not what I like..."
Jiang Li pretended not to understand and took a sip of tea, her almond eyes calm.
"I know that the prince is concerned about Miss Ji, but she is not a good person. I hope the prince can get over it sooner."
Jiang Li persuaded Li Junlin earnestly.
Disgusted with her, right? Then she would also be "disgusted" with him...
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Li mention Ji Qingwan, Li Junlin's face darkened almost noticeably.
