Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

"Are we just going to stand at the door and talk?" Liang Tianyou looked at this and that, and when he saw Li Shuangwan's current appearance, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Several people entered the general's tent.

Li Shuangwan asked curiously: "Brother, Sister Hongshuang, why did you come so soon?"

Shu Wenbo cursed, "How dare you say that? You didn't come back to Sijiu City with us. My parents, especially my mother, scolded me like a dog."

"Even I, a son who didn't grow up with them and was finally found, am not as important as you, their adopted daughter whom I just met once."

Hong Shuang smiled and said, "That's true. But Duke Shu had guessed early on that after Ah Yan got the news, he would definitely come after the master first. And when we arrived, Master Sanqing was already in Duke Shu's mansion."

"Ah? Didn't my master set out two days later than us?"

Shu Wenbo snorted coldly: "Who knows what this charlatan is doing. Anyway, when we arrived, not only did Master Sanqing arrive, he also brought a girl with him. She looks very similar to you in height and figure, and she has already written the name 'Shu Yanyan' into my Shu family tree."

Li Shuangwan felt warm in her heart. It turned out that her adoptive father had already thought of this. Although he still gave her Gu Xingyan's letter and hoped that she could go back to Sijiu City first, he still arranged everything for her.

She was originally still worried. After all, she asked Hongshuang to replace her, and there would always be a time conflict for her to come here to find Gu Xingyan, and she was taller than Hongshuang.

Now there is no need to worry at all.

Seeing Shu Wenbo pretending to be angry, Hong Shuang took over the conversation and said, "Since everything has been arranged, Master Shu, why not set off immediately? So we didn't delay for a moment, changed horses, had a full meal, and came here early the next morning."

"My lord, when you didn't see me, you wished you could grow a pair of wings and fly over. Now that you see me, you're complaining. Is there any elder brother like you?"

Shu Wenbo snorted through his nose.

Li Shuangwan looked at Shu Wenbo, his eyes full of teasing: "I'm sorry, brother, you've fallen out of favor."

Several people laughed.

Even Gu Xingyan's brows, which had been tense since he learned that Rang City had fallen, were now filled with joy.

Hong Shuang continued, "We stayed in the Duke's Mansion for no more than ten hours. The Duke's wife cried until her eyes were swollen. She scolded him for not taking A'Yan back, but she was reluctant to see him go to war again just after returning to Sijiu City."

Shu Wenbo looked depressed.

Li Shuangwan lightly punched Shu Wenbo: "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely win this battle. Then, you and I will go home together."

Shu Wenbo then smiled faintly: "I'm fine."

Gu Xingyan frowned slightly. He felt uncomfortable instinctively when he heard her say that she was going home with Shu Wenbo.

Hong Shuang asked curiously, "Ah Yan, you guys just arrived too, right?"

Li Shuangwan nodded: "Yes, we arrived two and a half hours earlier than you. We asked for information along the way, and it is not easy to enter this important military camp. It took us half an hour just to ask the guards at the door to inform Gu Xingyan, and we were almost killed by them as a spy."

"So that's how it is. We have Duke Shu's handwritten letter and token, and he has also arranged two guides for us."

The road was smooth, so naturally he was much faster than Ayan.

Seeing that they kept talking as soon as they met, Gu Xingyan said, "Okay, go and have a rest first, and we'll discuss everything tomorrow."

Shu Wenbo rolled his eyes and sent them away. Didn't he just want to spend more time alone with his little sister?

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Gu Xingyan say to Li Shuangwan: "Eat something first, then wash up and rest for a few hours."

Li Shuangwan knew what Gu Xingyan meant. He should wait until he had enough rest before calling the deputy generals to a meeting. He had just assigned tasks early in the morning, so it wouldn't be that fast.

She also inquired about some information along the way.

The Ava army had just captured Huaiyang two days ago. Rangcheng is fifty miles away from Huaiyang. After continuous running, they rushed into the battle.

They also encountered desperate resistance from the soldiers and civilians of Huaiyang. The city that could have been taken in one day took three full days to capture, and the soldiers were extremely exhausted.

Moreover, before Huaiyang fell, a large amount of food and supplies had been transferred away.

Those who could not be taken away were burned by the Huaiyang defender.

All that was left for the Ava army was a little bit of food from the common people's homes.

This is not enough to support an army of 300,000, so no matter how powerful Ava is, he can't let 300,000 people fight with him on an empty stomach.

At least in the next one or two days, it is absolutely impossible.

Ava also has to wait for the food and fodder from Zhao to arrive.

And this will take at least five days, which means there are still three days left.

They have at least three days to make full preparations.

Moreover, the Canglang Army had just arrived in Yongzhou and was marching at a rapid speed, so they were in urgent need of rest.

A brain that is not well rested can easily become confused, and making the wrong decision can be devastating.

When Li Shuangwan looked at Gu Xingyan, he also saw that the man's eyes were bloodshot.

He also marched all the way and called the soldiers to a meeting at night without getting a moment's rest.

Even his clothes were stained with dust, and his chin was covered with blue stubble, looking very different from the elegant young man seen in Sijiu City a month ago.

She nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. But you also need to have a good rest."

"Ah."

Li Shuangwan looked at the people in front of him: Gu Xingyan, Liang Tianyou, Shu Wenbo, Hong Shuang, and another person, but he looked very unfamiliar.

Maybe he is a general of the Canglang Army.

But the man's mouth corners were raised unnaturally, his hands were crossed on his chest, and he looked at her with mocking eyes.

Li Shuangwan stared at him for a moment, and felt that this man's expression was inexplicably familiar.

Gu Xingyan calmly stepped in front of her, blocking her view of the man.

Liang Tianyou seemed to suddenly remember something, and he slapped his forehead. Before Cui Jingyu could react, he had already torn off the human skin mask on his face and pushed him in front of Li Shuangwan.

He didn't care whether Ninth Brother deliberately blocked her view or not.

"Look who he is?"

Cui Jingyu slapped Liang Tianyou's hand away angrily.

Li Shuangwan's expression suddenly changed: "Young Marquis Cui, why is it you? How did you join the Canglang Army? Do Marquis Jing'an and his wife know that you came to Daliang?"

Cui Jingyu let out a breath of cold air from his nose: "Humph, you can come to Daliang, but I can't? Li Shuangwan, are you meddling too much?"

Li Shuangwan knew that he had always been upset because she had rejected the marriage and married Ling Heng, so she was not angry at his bad attitude.

"That's not what I meant. I just... I'm sorry, I was abrupt."
