Before dark, Li Wenhao returned to Shacheng with a cold face, holding Qiangwei who had fainted.
The slight frown showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
I originally planned to put Qiangwei down when passing by the Royal City, but now that something like this happened, I had to take it with me first.
Qiangwei couldn't think about it. If something bad happened, it would be hard to explain to Aunt Xue. Secondly, he was a dignified prince and wanted to save face. After all, it was not so glorious.
"Master Hou!"
Entering the city lord's palace, Zhebie came to greet him with several generals from the military camp. He looked at the rose in Li Wenhao's hand with very surprised eyes.
"Master Marquis, leave it to us." Two thick-lined generals stretched out their hands and wanted to pick them up, but were quickly grabbed by their accomplices with sneers on their faces.
"What's going on in Mocheng while I'm gone?" Li Wenhao strode toward the main hall, ignoring these idiots.
Zhebie hurriedly said from the side: "There is no movement. The desert city is still the same as before. No one dares to approach the desert for fifty miles around, and the few sand clan spies we sent have not sent back any news.
However, Tianxing City of Xiaoyue Kingdom sent an envoy, saying that King Mohan returned Shacheng to Xiaoyue Kingdom and asked us to leave Shacheng within three days, otherwise we will send troops to attack."
"Send troops to attack, Xiaoyue Kingdom is so bold!"
When Li Wenhao heard this, he paused for a moment, then looked at Qiangwei in his arms. The little guilt he felt in his heart disappeared, and he continued to stride forward: "Where's Haili, what did she say?"
When Zhebie heard the word "Hai Li", he looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. He lowered his voice and said, "Master Marquis, the general has beaten Hai Li, and this witch actually drugged me."
"Add the medicine!" Li Wenhao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He seemed to be more concerned than when Xiaoyue Kingdom sent troops to attack: "What medicine was given? Did she succeed?"
Zhebie's little face turned red: "It's not a good medicine. I discovered it in time and punched her out on the spot. She took a cold bath and she was fine."
"This Haili is so shameless, I will definitely punish her severely!" Li Wenhao cursed indignantly, but his tone was a bit strange, with a hint of pity.
"Okay, you go down and rest!"
After sending Zhe away to rest, Li Wenhao went into the bedroom and handed Qiangwei to the maid to take care of. He returned to the study and said to the soldiers: "Go and prepare some food, and then find Haili."
He was really hungry after a busy day.
"Tianxing City is to the west of Shacheng, less than two hundred miles away. If we send troops, we can get there in half a day."
After a while, the food was served. Li Wenhao was eating with a bowl and looking at the map on the wall.
Tianxing City, also known as Tianxing Pass, is the throat to the Western Regions. It was originally a commercial city in the eastern part of Xiaoyue Kingdom. Since King Mohan became independent, it has been continuously reinforced and expanded, and it has become a major military town.
Together with Qingzhu City to the north, a total of 100,000 Heavenly Star troops were stationed, limiting the power of the Mohan Kingdom to the edge of this desert.
"If we can capture Tianxing City, we can attack and defend freely, and we no longer have to worry about Xiaoyue Kingdom raiding Langya territory."
Li Wenhao looked at it for a long time, but he became very interested in Tianxing City.
His biggest headache now is that the Langya area is surrounded by smooth roads, and every city needs to be stationed with troops, which has tied up a large number of troops.
If Kanbao from the south captures Kunshan and his side captures Tianxing Pass, the Langya area will be stable, leaving only Mocheng and Huaibei County to the east.
There is no threat to the Xuan family in Huaibei County for the time being. He just needs to concentrate his forces to deal with Mocheng.
"Ehu's new first battalion and Erkui's new second battalion will arrive in Shacheng tomorrow night. Together with the new fourth battalion in the city, the suicide battalion, and the newly recruited city defense battalion, there will be more than 50,000 infantry.
There are also cavalry camps on the left and right outside the city. The front cavalry camp will arrive tomorrow morning, with a total of 30,000 cavalry.
The total is close to 100,000 troops, I want to see who can resist them!
After this battle, no one dares to underestimate me, Langya!"
"Master Hou, Haili, the envoy from Xiaoyue Kingdom, has arrived!"
"Let her in!" Li Wenhao sat back in his chair, and after calculating his own strength, he felt confident.
Xiaoyueguo was honest and just sent the princess to his door. Otherwise, it was really not certain who would beat whom.
This delicacy from Tianxing City was full of aroma, and he was very greedy.
"Master Marquis, you have to make the decision for the slave family. Oh, look, you're going to slap me in the face!"
Within a few seconds, Haili rushed in with a black eye socket and angrily said: "I don't care, you promised to give me Zhe, I want him tonight."
"With your ability as promised, you even resorted to such despicable methods as drugging, and you still have the nerve to scream at me?" Li Wenhao took a mouthful of food, looked up at Haili, and felt inexplicably sick.
"What's going on with the people coming to Tianxing City? Let me withdraw from Shacheng, otherwise I will send troops to attack. Is this what your Queen Xiaoyue means?"
"Huh, since you said that, Lord Marquis, let's open the skylight and speak openly!" Haili's face changed, suddenly becoming hardened, and her eyes were full of disdain.
"Our queen has already rejected your proposal of marriage and ordered the 100,000 Heavenly Star Army to recapture Sand City. By this time, they should have already set off.
I advise you to be aware of the current situation, withdraw from Shacheng now, and hand over Zhebie.
Otherwise, as soon as my army arrives, not only Shacheng, but also the entire Langya will be in the possession of our Xiaoyue Kingdom."
"Okay, as expected, a woman can change her face faster than she can take off her clothes!" Li Wenhao laughed angrily. He didn't expect Queen Xiaoyue to have such great ambitions.
He dropped the chopsticks in his hand and stood up: "Someone, drag this slut out and behead her, and send her head to Tianxing City.
King Xiaoyue wants to fight, but I, Li Wenhao, can only wish for it!"
"Li Wenhao, how dare you? Our 100,000-strong Tianxing Army are all elites, as well as the 5,000 violent knights of the Giant Rakshasa Empire. You are looking for death!" Haili turned pale with fear and screamed at the top of her lungs.
In the entire Western Region, not even the Western Turks dared to provoke Xiaoyue Kingdom, and with a hundred thousand elites close at hand, how could Li Wenhao dare to kill her.
"I'm looking for death!" Li Wenhao overturned the table, raised his leg and kicked Haili in the chest, almost exploding Naozi: "You scoundrel, it's you who are looking for death!
You still refuse to propose marriage, believe it or not, I will capture your queen and use her as a slave girl!"
"Li Wenhao, if you dare to be disrespectful to the Queen, you are dead!" Haili was kicked until her mouth spurted blood, and she looked like a ghost.
"Let me come!" Zhebie actually walked in with his soldiers. He didn't know if this guy had been secretly staring at Haili.
The young man was so angry that he grabbed Haili's hair and dragged her out.
Then there was a scream outside the hall, and a human head was sent in.
"Very happy, I will finally thank you Lord Marquis!" Zhebie bowed and saluted with a relaxed expression, and his whole body regained its vitality.
