Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Liu Qingfeng did not let Li Junze go in first, but ran in nervously first, only to find that the place was empty.

There didn't seem to be any signs of a fight at the scene, but the cups on the table were upside down.

Liu Qingfeng immediately looked at Li Junze, "Third Prince, it seems that he was abducted."

Li Junze nodded and checked the resting place again. It seemed that they were abducted after they had rested, because the beds were made out.

When the two of them quickly went back to tell Wang Zhuo and Li Xingxian the result, they both fell silent for a moment.

Wang Zhuo was extremely angry. The hostage he had captured with great difficulty, who could have effectively restrained Li Junhao's actions, was rescued in the Beiyan military camp.

If such a thing had happened under normal circumstances, he would have been furious and would have taught Li Xingxian a lesson for his lax military discipline. However, at this moment, when a war was about to begin, he could not afford to say anything discouraging.

He could only pretend nothing had happened and said, "She is not an important person. She must have escaped. The guard went out to chase her. I don't think a woman like her can get out of such a deep forest."

Li Xingxian nodded. He didn't know exactly what had happened, but there was something strange about this matter after all.

Needless to say, Wang Zhuo also felt that his army had been marching for days recently and was too lax last night.

So he bowed to Wang Zhuo with a look of shame on his face, and then said, "Sir, please be generous. The Northern Yan army has indeed failed to fulfill its duties. After this battle, I will conduct a thorough investigation. We are ready to set off now. Do you have any other instructions?"

He lowered his posture like this, and even seemed to have regarded Li Junze as the future crown prince, which made Wang Zhuo feel a little better.

"Make sure to tell the army clearly that this attack into the capital is to save the emperor. If you are brave enough to kill the enemy and make military achievements, you will definitely be given titles and positions of honor and be appointed as prime ministers."

Wang Zhuo only said this with full energy. After listening, Li Xingxian nodded, then put on his cloak and walked out of the tent.

Li Junze saw that everyone had left, and then he whispered, "Gu Xunwei seems to have been rescued by someone. Now so many soldiers are unconscious, maybe it was their doing. I'm worried..."

His worries were not without reason. If Li Junhao and the others already knew their current location, would they do nothing and allow them to march straight into the vicinity of the capital?

Wang Zhuo was actually very nervous, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. If they missed this opportunity, everything they had planned for so long would be wasted.

How could Wang Zhuo be willing to accept such an outcome? He patted Li Junze on the shoulder and said, "Ze'er, even if Gu Xunwei is gone, we still have the Yanbei Army. At the beginning, it was just for extra assurance. Now, it's still possible."

Li Junze could only nod after hearing this and glanced at Li Xingxian's back again. Everything would depend on the capabilities of the Yanbei Army.

"Rush into the capital and rescue the emperor!"

"Rush into the capital and rescue the emperor!"

There were deafening shouts outside. At Li Xingxian's command, those Yanbei soldiers who were still unconscious were like chicken blood, following Li Xingxian's warhorse and marching towards the capital.

However, according to Li Xingxian's plan, they would encounter resistance at the gate of the capital city, and he only needed to keep his tail intact to avoid being outflanked by the Jingji Army from behind.

But in fact, their army had just left the forest when they were surrounded by the densely packed Jingji army outside the forest.

This place is at least an hour's journey away from the capital, and the number of the Jingji Army was far beyond Li Xingxian's expectations.

He thought to himself that something was wrong. When the army was still ten feet away from the Jingji army, it stopped marching.

Li Xingxian took the lead, and he and Liu Qingfeng continued to walk until they were less than ten feet away from the Jingji Army, facing directly against Old Man Yu who was sitting on the chariot.

"Mr. Yu, long time no see. Why are you here at Jingji Army again?" Without waiting for them to ask questions, Li Xingxian took the lead in greeting Mr. Yu.

Old Master Yu looked at Li Xingxian with contempt in his eyes, "Your Highness Prince Yan is so bold, have you forgotten the Emperor's decree that you cannot enter the capital without being summoned?"

Li Xingxian looked back at the Yanbei Army soldiers behind him and said, "Mr. Yu, are you here to stop us from entering the capital to rescue the emperor, as entrusted by Li Junhao?"

Since Old Man Yu has chosen to break up with him, would Li Xingxian still be afraid of him?

As he spoke, the warhorse was spinning restlessly in place, but his words made Old Man Yu laugh.

"Your Highness, Prince of Yan, do you know why the late emperor did not choose you to sit in that position? Because the late emperor discovered your weakness long ago. You are too soft-hearted and will believe a dog's barking."

Although Mr. Yu is old, his voice is like a huge bell, echoing back and forth in this empty space.

"Humph, do you think that we, the Yanbei Army, are completely unaware of the situation in the capital because we are in Beiyan? My brother hasn't attended the morning court for a long time, is that true?"

Li Xingxian asked in a very fierce tone, when two armies are fighting, the one who should least lose is the one in terms of momentum.

"This kind of thing is not something an old man like me should know. I only know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan disobeyed the imperial edict and entered the capital without a decree. This is truly treasonous. We, the Jingji Army, have been ordered to intercept him."

Old Man Yu would not argue with him here. Behind him were trenches that had been dug in advance. As long as the other side started a war, with the right time, right place and right people, their Jingji Army would have it all.

If he wasn't the emperor's younger brother, why would he have spent so much time and effort talking to him?

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jinzhong beside him began to shout, "Leave the capital and return to Yanbei."

The numerous Jingji Army soldiers behind him also started shouting in unison. Their voices were very loud and deafening.

Seeing this situation, Li Xingxian no longer needed to argue. He looked at Liu Qingfeng and rode his horse back to his team.

Different from the other party's shouting, Liu Qingfeng repeated twice what Li Xingxian shouted before setting off.

"Rush into the capital and rescue the emperor!"

The two sides were confronting each other, with 20,000 to 30,000 people on each side. The shouting was even more deafening, and even the birds and beasts in the woods were scared and fled in all directions.

As Li Xingxian lowered his arm, the Yanbei Army took the lead in attacking, with the archers forming their formation first and attempting to launch the attack first.

This distance is just within their optimal shooting range.
