Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

However, the Jingji Army's approach was different from theirs. Following the actions of the Yanbei Army, they retreated one after another and soon hid in the trenches that had been dug in advance.

Yang Jinzhong shouted in a loud voice, "The Yanbei Army will not be killed unless they surrender their weapons. Otherwise, they will all be killed without mercy."

The soldiers also shouted, and the soldiers in the front row even raised huge shields to block the arrows that were about to be shot by the enemy.

Wang Zhuo and Li Junze were on the chariot near the front at this time. Seeing this situation, their hearts were chilled.

They even dug trenches, and although it seemed a bit hasty, just because of this, the Yanbei Army lost too much of its advantage.

Originally, the Yanbei Army had an advantage in numbers, but now more than half of them are unconscious, so this advantage has been lost in advance.

Wang Zhuo closed his eyes with difficulty. "Li Junhao is indeed insidious and treacherous. All these things must be his doing."

"Then what should we do now?" When Li Junze saw Wang Zhuo's expression, he began to feel inexplicably panicked.

"Zer, for now, all we can do is to throw everything at the stake."

Wang Zhuo sighed and said unwillingly.

It was originally a sure win, but now it has become so difficult. This is probably all thanks to Li Junhao.

Li Junze's eyes flashed with viciousness after hearing this. He was also wearing armor today, so he bowed to Wang Zhuo and said,

"Okay, father, Ze'er will go find the emperor's uncle and attack together."

Wang Zhuo lovingly helped Li Junze adjust the straps on his armor, then said, "Okay, Ze'er, we have no way out. This is our fateful battle."

Li Junze nodded, turned around, mounted the warhorse behind him, and ran to Li Xingxian with a "da da da" sound.

Wang Zhuo watched his back running away, and the breath he had forced himself to hold finally let go. He supported his knees and sat down on the military vehicle with difficulty, breathing heavily.

The future of the entire Wang family depends on the result of today's battle. He took out a medicine bottle from his arms, tremblingly poured out a pill from it and threw it into his mouth.

He was able to hold on until now thanks to the bottle of pills Jiang Muyu left for him. Looking at it now, this pill is the last one.

Hey, Ze'er, I have done everything I can. The rest of the way depends entirely on your fate.

Wang Zhuo was thinking this in his heart, concentrating his attention on the fierce fighting between the two armies and thinking about his next plan again.

Li Junhao and Yan Nangui did not appear in the Jingji Army at this time, but served as the main force to protect the imperial city, guarding the city wall at the north gate of the capital.

Looking far away, one can seem to see smoke rising in the distance; a great battle has clearly begun.

"Second Prince, we have checked all the places that Miss Gu mentioned last night, and we have indeed found quite a few people with Yanbei accents.

Moreover, none of them have travel permits, and now, they have all been taken to the government jail."

Yan Nangui carefully reported the situation of the operation to Li Junhao, "We have arrested nearly 500 people so far, and there are probably still fugitives."

His meaning was very clear. If the Yanbei Army really attacked, they would not only have to guard against the Yanbei Army outside the city, but also have to devote some of their energy to paying attention to the movements of these people inside the city.

Li Junhao pursed his lips into a line, staring at the smoke and dust in the distance without blinking. After listening to what Yan Nangui said, he retracted his gaze.

"Agui, if they really attack, we still have to find a chance to let the emperor's uncle into the city. I have already told Sang Mo that we will let the emperor's uncle and Li Junze into the palace."

His words made Yan Nangui confused for a moment, but he soon figured it out.

The commander of the Yanbei Army is Prince of Yan Li Xingxian. This should be considered an internal matter of the royal family. If a big battle really takes place at the city gate, wouldn't it be equivalent to announcing the discord within the royal family?

If we really let a small number of people into the palace, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar.

"Yes, I understand. I will arrange it right away and make sure it looks real." Yan Nangui agreed and turned to leave.

Li Junhao said, "Agui, this matter is over. We may not see each other for a while. I will miss you."

What's happening here?

Such a nonsensical sentence made Yan Nangui even more confused, and he looked at Li Junhao in confusion.

The other party smiled helplessly, as if he already knew everything that would happen today, including what the outcome would be.

So now I have started to think about what to do next after this incident.

"Yes, Your Highness is already past the age of marriage, so you should plan your lifelong affairs as early as possible." Yan Nangui teased.

"Master Yan is right, and so are you."

The two men looked at each other, and Yan Nangui quickly withdrew his gaze, turned around and left the city gate.

There was a sigh in his heart. Li Junhao was really open-minded. He really chose to give up the position of crown prince.

Yan Nangui initially thought that Li Junhao had temporarily chosen to give up his position as crown prince to facilitate his actions in this operation, but now it seems that he had already planned it long ago and might leave the capital for a while.

In this way, he has completely given up the position of Crown Prince and is willing to be an idle prince.

Okay, okay, you're awesome.

Yan Nangui complained in his heart but showed a helpless smile on his face. It would be better for him to leave, otherwise this Dali Temple would belong to him, Li Junhao.

I have been leaning towards him unconsciously, which goes against what the old man has always emphasized to me, that is, not to get involved in party disputes.

Li Junhao watched Yan Nangui's back disappear at the stairs. His gaze once again looked into the distance. In the quiet atmosphere, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of fighting in the distance.

The number of people that Grandpa Yu brought with him today is almost twice that of the enemy. If a war really breaks out, there will definitely be no problem. It's just a pity for those Yanbei Army soldiers who fought for their country.

Casualties are certainly inevitable, the only thing we can do is to minimize them as much as possible.

Sang Mo hurried all the way from the palace to the north gate, and just in time he saw Li Junhao quietly watching the movement in the distance.

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for them to enter. By the way, Xiao Fuzi said that the emperor seems to be awake today."

After Sang Mo finished speaking, he looked up at Li Junhao and saw that he had withdrawn his gaze, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Imperial Physician Zhang had already told him in advance about the Emperor's condition. Unless an antidote could be found, there was no way he could be cured.
