I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

Yang Liu looked at the little girl in front of her with eyes full of doting, and reached out to ruffle her hair.

This little girl is much stronger than she thought. She is only suitable to grow up freely in this vast world, not in that small house.

"Hey, Brother Yuzhou, stop touching me. You've messed up my hair." Huangfu Ling pushed Yang Liu's hand away and started to tidy up her messed up hair, looking very cute.

Yang Liu shook her head with amusement. Children have grown up and started to care about their image.

"Okay, I won't touch you anymore."

After the meal, the soldiers were first given a boost, and then some precautions were given. Other things were not discussed. Yang Liu only asked Yang Zhao to hold a small meeting with several of the most trusted centurions, explained the arrangements in detail, and ordered that they should not reveal it to anyone, including the generals, and then sent them away.

Yang Zhao looked at Yang Liu with inquiring eyes. Yang Liu just put her finger to her lips as a gesture of silence and smiled meaningfully.

Tomorrow would be the day for the confrontation, so Yang Liu had to act carefully. If this method could catch the spy, that would be great, but if not, it would just be a move to keep one more chess piece.

The next day, everyone set out together, but parted ways when the roads forked. Yang Zhao led two thousand men back through a small path and ambushed on both sides of the city's periphery, preparing to lure the enemy deep into their territory and wait for their opportunity.

Yang Zhao led his men to lie on the ground and wait for the opportunity, and only sent a few stalkers to follow the team that was separated, including Lin Fan and his group.

The soldiers who were sent followed from a distance, hiding their bodies so as not to be noticed by the other side. He only saw a small team of only a few hundred people talking and laughing in the distance, and he could not hear clearly what they were joking about.

Huangfu Ling led 5,000 men along the main road and headed straight for the enemy camp. The rest of the men were arranged differently, with some ambushing on the side roads and some assisting in covering the rear. Lin Fan also led 2,000 men and set off alone.

Only two thousand men were left in the camp, and the city defense equipment, torches, arrows, and willows were arranged one by one.

At this time, several centurions who were originally sent out also led 5,000 soldiers and sneaked back into the city.

Now there are only two thousand soldiers in the city, but there are actually seven thousand soldiers inside. There are also two thousand soldiers ambushed by Yang Zhao on both sides of the outer periphery. They are on high alert, just waiting to catch the enemy in the trap.

Thousands of soldiers came in a row and hid Yang Liu behind them. Yang Liu raised her hand and waved lightly, and took turns to attack. Arrows ignited, followed by bows, falling from the sky like rain, and thousands of lives were taken in an instant. The situation was very good, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. The ambushers drew their swords and killed the enemy by surprise. The enemy was no longer arrogant, and some fled in panic or raised their swords to meet the enemy. There was chaos for a while, but the ambushers including Yang Liu were defeated. Yang Zhao and others also came with other people to cut off their retreat and won a great victory in one fell swoop. Those soldiers who had been frustrated for a long time were so happy that they killed with red eyes.

Yang Liu stood on the city wall, watching the battle below the city. Amid the flashes of swords and sabers, she accurately caught sight of Huangfu Ling. She was dressed in red and protected by iron armor. She was like a nimble eagle in the crowd. She could dodge fatal blows by lightly flapping her wings, and then turn around and kill others under their horses. Yang Liu was very pleased about this, but she was a little puzzled as to why Huangfu Ling, who was supposed to go straight to the enemy's base camp, appeared here with an angry look on her face.

This battle was extremely exciting. Yang Zhao almost knocked the enemy commander off his horse with a sudden attack. Seeing that the game was hopeless, the enemy fled in disgrace with his remaining troops.

After a great victory, the old general's back was no longer bent, and there was light in his eyes. Even the tone of his voice was filled with joy, and his laughter was so loud that it seemed to blow the roof off. He slapped Yang Liu's shoulder so hard that it almost swollen. After Yang Liu pleaded several times, he stopped and waved his hand to let his men prepare wine and food to celebrate, while he reviewed the battle with Yang Liu and the others.

"Xiao Ling'er, shouldn't you have gone to their military camp to challenge and fight today? Why did you appear under the city wall?" Yang Liu waved to Yang Zhao and Huangfu Ling to sit down, and then she started to ask. She was surprised by Huangfu Ling's sudden turn around.

"Oh! Brother Yuzhou, don't mention it! You're really making me mad!" Huangfu Ling had just sat down and when he heard Yang Liu mention this, he pounded the table in anger, making a loud bang.

"Oh? Please elaborate."

Judging from Yang Liu's expression, Huangfu Ling was probably rejected as expected.

"Those bastards are nothing but cowards! I challenged them several times but they were like deaf. Not only did they keep silent, but no one even came out to fight me!" Huangfu Ling's face turned red with anger. It was obvious that she didn't expect them to be like this. She made a wasted trip.

Xiao Ling'er, who had wanted to fight a good battle and come back to ask for praise, was so furious at the opponent's move that she couldn't just rush into the opponent's military camp.

"I see."

Yang Liu calculated in her mind that the situation was just as she had imagined, but on the surface she still had to maintain a pensive look.

"So I came back." Huangfu Ling looked like a deflated balloon, with a puffy mouth and an extremely unhappy look.

"Where is Lin Fan?"

Yang Liu then thought of someone and asked Huangfu Ling about it. The two of them went out one after the other. Logically, if Huangfu Ling turned back, Lin Fan would not have come back. But it seemed that he had not been seen since the end of the war.

"He left with a gloomy face as soon as he came back. He didn't respond when I called him."

When Huangfu Ling heard Yang Liu's question, he recalled that after the enemy army was defeated, Lin Fan looked unhappy and left after saying he was sick.

Yang Liu pretended to be worried and asked about Lin Fan and whether he needed a military doctor. Yang Zhao only said that Lin Fan looked healthier than anyone else with a rosy complexion, and that he was probably jealous of Yang Liu's victory. He also told Yang Liu not to worry about him all day.

Yang Liu responded without saying anything more. At night, everyone gathered around the campfire to drink and eat meat. Although it was just a small amount of drink, everyone was happy. Yang Liu had gained some status in the soldiers' hearts because of this battle. However, considering that he was in poor health and could not drink too much, even if they offered tea, Yang Liu would be full of water. They waved their hands to refuse again and again, and then sent him away with the barbecue.

"It's just a victory, why are you so proud?"

Lin Fan's sour words came from the corner. Yang Liu and the other two looked up and saw Lin Fan holding a fire stick with a big piece of meat on it, roasting it with a sizzling sound and then throwing it into the fire with a look of disgust, while pointing at Huai and cursing Sang.

Yang Liu and Yang Zhao just thought they were watching a clown, while Huangfu Ling had mixed feelings, feeling extremely chilled and puzzled by Lin Fan's completely different attitude.
