The way Zhao Ying turned around three times made Long Chen a little moved.
Such a pure little girl, good-looking, must be good to play with.
However, Long Chen was a pervert with a bottom line after all, so this idea was quickly given up.
Long Chen stood up and escorted Zhao Fan out of the gate. Zhao Fan bowed and said, "King Wu, please stay."
Long Chen saluted: "Madam, go slowly!"
Zhao Fan left the prefect's mansion with Zhao Ying and returned to a small courtyard in the city.
When Long Chen saw the mother and daughter leaving, he turned around and returned to the main hall. Wu Jian walked over with a smile and asked: "Young General, what's going on?"
There was no one around, so Wu Jian changed his name.
Long Chen frowned and said, "Uncle Wu, you are a bit unruly."
Wu Jian smiled and said: "What the young general said, you are serious now. You have practiced martial arts and fought before. You don't want the princess to stick to you."
In the past, Long Chen was a martial arts fanatic who only liked to lead troops in battles and was not interested in women.
It's not like Long Chen now, who wants to play with a beautiful woman when he sees her.
Wu Jian feels that Long Chen is more real now.
As for why his temperament changed so much, he didn't find it strange. After experiencing the battle at Bailang Mountain, Wu Jian's personality also changed.
"It's not what you think."
Long Chen told what happened just now, Wu Jian laughed dumbly and said: "Is this the blame placed on Lu Qichang's head?"
Long Chen said helplessly: "How should I put it? We were enemies at that time. I killed Zhao Lun, but now I feel pity for his wife and daughter."
Wu Jian shook his head and said: "Young General, you can't be too kind. If we are defeated, Zhao Lun will probably crush us to ashes."
"Never underestimate the cruelty of the enemy. If I don't kill people, they will kill me!"
Long Chen sighed: "I know this truth, it's just that they are orphans and widowed women and they are very pitiful."
Wu Jian started to be serious again and said with a smile: "The young general is so kind-hearted, so he took them in. I heard that the Fan family comes from a famous family and is quite beautiful!"
Long Chen laughed and scolded: "Uncle Wu went too far, I'm not interested in mature women."
A royal sister like Yan Shuangyu is acceptable, but a mature woman has a bit of a heavy taste.
Wu Jian chuckled and said nothing, Long Chen asked: "Uncle Wu, are you attracted to Fan?"
Wu Jian said helplessly: "Young General, I am a true eunuch!"
Long Chen smiled and didn't know how to answer.
He Juntao walked in from outside, and Wu Jian immediately stopped joking.
"How's it going? Are the people from Li's Liquor Store still here?"
Long Chen was adamant that the entrance to Wanjin Tower in Xixia was the Li Family Liquor Shop, so he sent He Juntao to see if Shen Wanjin was there.
If you are here, we can have a drink together.
Shen Wanjin has been more generous recently. His daughter sent Yan Shuangyu to bed, and last night he sent a letter to remind him that Long Chen should treat him to a drink.
Of course, Shen Wanjin did this for himself.
He Juntao shook his head and said: "The waiters are all still here, and the wine shop is open as usual, but the shopkeeper and others are not here."
The others were naturally talking about Shen Wanjin.
Long Chen smiled and said: "They should go after Kong Ji and leave them alone."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Shen Wanjin pursues Kong Ji, which is beneficial to Long Chen.
"Let's move the food from the backyard. We can't waste Governor Zhao's legacy."
Long Chen ordered Wu Jian to immediately find soldiers to move out the food.
Long Chen went back to his room to write a battle report and send it back to the capital.
At this time, Shen Wanjin, Heifeng, and Gan Xin were retreating westward with the defeated Xixia army.
In the morning, Shi Le and Kong Ji led the army to fight out from the south gate, and Shen Wanjin and the others put on the armor of Xixia soldiers.
The battle was as expected by Shen Wanjin. Long Chen had already prepared and deliberately let Xixia Iron Kites pass, and then ambushed and intercepted them.
The Xixia army did not want to fight at all. Shi Le was defeated like a mountain and fled westward with the remaining defeated soldiers.
Shen Wanjin and the others took the opportunity to blend into the team and retreat together.
Shi Le ran all the way, and at dusk, he finally arrived at the nearest city, Guancheng.
The people of Shile were sleepy and their horses were exhausted, and Monk Kongji was even more miserable. The wound on his abdomen was still bleeding, his lips were a little white, and he was shaky on his horse.
"National Division!"
Shi Le shouted worriedly, and Kong Ji opened his eyes with force, holding on to the reins in his hands, trying his best to prevent himself from falling.
"National Preceptor, we have arrived at Guancheng!"
Shi Le held the rein of the horse for Kong Ji, and the monk next to him immediately supported Kong Ji.
Kong Ji weakly covered his abdomen, and the disciple immediately took out a pill and fed it to Kong Ji: "Master, take some medicine!"
Kong Ji took the elixir and tried to sit still.
The cavalry general Sha Wen came back from running in the morning and shouted: "Your Majesty, there are enemy troops besieging Guancheng!"
Everyone was surprised and asked: "Could it be that the Long Family Army was one step ahead of us?"
"Impossible, Long Chengen dares to chase him so fast?"
"Yangcheng has just been conquered, do you dare to besiege Guancheng?"
All the soldiers were shocked and doubtful, and Shi Le said angrily: "Long Chengen dares to chase him here, I will kill him! Follow me to fight!"
Shi Le was really angry. If Long Chen really dared to chase him here, he would fight Long Chen to the death and never retreat!
All the soldiers followed Shi Le and rushed forward.
At the foot of Guancheng, a military flag fluttered high with the word "zhu" embroidered on it.
It was Zhu Yong, the general who conquered the west, who besieged Guancheng.
Zhu Xi ran over with a knife. He is now the military chief.
"General, although Guancheng is small, it is very strong. Our brothers suffered many casualties!"
Zhu Yong looked at Xiao Guancheng and felt a little depressed.
In the past two days, he had gathered many rebels, his army expanded to 70,000, and he also captured several cities.
Today I wanted to seize Guancheng as a foothold, but after fighting for a long time, we still couldn't break it.
The general in the city was very stubborn and refused to surrender.
"General, the imperial army has arrived!"
Hou Qi hurriedly rode over to report. Zhu Yong asked in shock: "The imperial army? What imperial army?"
Hou Qi said: "It is the king's army!"
Zhu Yong and his generals' expressions changed when they heard this. They did not expect Shi Le to be here.
They had just revolted and were still afraid of the Shile court.
Seeing everyone's fear and uneasiness, the school captain Xue Ping immediately came out and asked: "Are you sure it's Shi Le's army?"
Long Chen assigned two captains to Zhu Yong, a cavalry captain Zhao Jing and an infantry captain Xue Ping.
Hou Qi replied: "OK!"
Xue Ping asked again: "Is it the victorious army or the defeated army?"
After saying this, everyone looked at Hou Qi.
Hou Qi thought for a while and said: "The team is in disarray and the military flags are not in order."
Hou Qi did not dare to say whether the army was victorious or defeated. He only told what he saw.
Xue Ping said happily: "That's the defeated army. King Wu conquered Yangcheng, and Shi Le fled here with the defeated army!"
After saying this, everyone's morale was greatly boosted. Zhu Yong said happily: "King Wu used his troops like a god. We only left Yangcheng for a few days and the city was conquered!"
The other generals were overjoyed and said: "It's just a defeated army, nothing to fear!"
"We can take this opportunity to defeat the army and kill Shi Le!"
Everyone was overwhelmed with joy, and the cavalry captain Zhao Jing said: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Shi Le was deflated in Yangcheng, so he will definitely take out his anger on us."
"Besides, Guancheng has not been broken. If we fight Shi Le and the defenders in the city rush out, we will be attacked on both sides and we will be defeated!"
