Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

There was no star in the sky. Under the cover of night, a cheetah-like figure shuttled through the enemy camp.

She used the Qingyunzong technique and her body was as agile as a flash of lightning. The patrolling soldiers didn't even notice when they passed her and thought she was hallucinating because she was too sleepy and tired.

In the central military camp, Southern Chen's envoy Ge Guang was talking to the rebel leader, former Luozhou Lieutenant General Xue Jichang, "Logically speaking, Shangjing City shouldn't know about our siege so quickly. We have arranged secret sentries along the way, and all news sent to Shangjing will be intercepted. But over there, it is said that there is movement. The person sent by the Northern Qi Emperor is the Duke of Dingguo, who is a killer general!"

When Xue Jichang heard it was him, he smiled and said, "Nothing to be afraid of!"

Ge Guang narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"You are a man of courage but no strategy! You are from the south, and you have not heard the joke that was spread in the capital a few days ago, that Duke Dingguo divorced his wife in order to marry a concubine. His wife, you don't know who she is, is the famous Rouge Sword. You say, this kind of fool who only cares about picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons, why should we be afraid of her?"

Ge Guang was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, "Is there such a thing? Could it be that his concubine is a goddess who has descended to earth?"

Xue Jichang waved his hands, "What goddess? I heard she's a slut. Such a thing is beautiful, just for fun, who would marry her?"

Ge Guang nodded, "That's the truth. This is such a pity. Rouge Sword, with Rouge Sword, we have the support of the entire Changliu Sect. Moreover, I heard that Rouge Sword is also a brilliant person. Is Duke Dingguo blind?"

"Who knows?" Xue Jichang said, "But even if Duke Dingguo doesn't know the value of a thing, there are certainly people who do. I heard that Yanzhijian asked for an imperial decree for a divorce, and then the emperor granted her marriage to the fourth prince. This is a good thing!"

Ge Guang felt very regretful, "If we had known this earlier, it would have been great if my young master could have won the favor of Yanzhi Jian."

Xue Jichang leaned close to Ge Guang's ear and said, "Don't worry, sir. I heard that the Rouge Sword is coming to the battlefield in Southern Shu. Your son still has a chance."

"Really?" Ge Guang's eyes lit up and he laughed, "That's good! I'm sure Rouge Sword must hate Duke Dingguo. It just so happens that we know that it is Duke Dingguo who led the troops to rescue Fufeng City. If we can keep Duke Dingguo in Evil Wind Ridge, it will be a great gift from Nan Chen to Rouge Sword!"

Xie Jinzhao stood behind the screen in the central military camp, listening to Ge Guang and Xue Jichang discussing the plot against Lu Changyuan.

They planned to lay an ambush at Evil Wind Ridge, use the exquisite formation to pin down Lu Changyuan, and then send assassins to kill him from the air. As long as Lu Changyuan was killed, the 10,000 reinforcements he brought would be leaderless and would not be a threat.

Xie Jinzhao remembered the conspiracy the two had discussed clearly until they finished discussing it and Ge Guang came out of the central military camp. Then she hid her figure and ran all the way back to the hill.

For fear of alerting the enemy, we did not dare to set up camp.

The group could only hide behind rocks to rest in the windproof area.

"Exquisite formation?" Lan Huaijun frowned when he heard the news Xie Jinzhao brought back. "This is the heirloom of the Nanchen Wang family. People who practice this formation have to tie sandbags on their legs since they were young. Except when they sleep, they are not allowed to take them off. Over time, they become as light as a swallow.

Those who practiced these were all the warriors bought by the Wang family. After twelve years, they began to practice the formation. It took three years to achieve perfection. After a hundred people were as good as one and occupied every possible position, even ten thousand people would find it difficult to break it. "

Xie Jinzhao was shocked. Just hearing this description, he felt it was horrible. "I have heard of the Linglong Formation, but I don't understand why the Wang family, who are civil servants, have such a family heirloom technique?"

Lan Huaijun shook his head. "The Wang family was originally a military general. Wang Xu's grandfather was originally stationed at the frontier, but he violated a military taboo and was reported by the Xie family, which almost brought disaster to the whole family. Later, the Xie family pleaded for him and asked the late Emperor of Southern Chen to give him some leniency because of his meritorious service."

Before his death, Wang Xu's grandfather left a will that if the descendants of the Wang family wanted to enter the government, they could only take the imperial examination and not join the army.

Lan Xuan'er asked curiously, "What military taboo did you break?"

Lan Huaijun said, "Killing innocent people to claim credit and collecting empty salaries. At that time, Wang Xu's grandfather served under the Xie family, but the Xie family did not help him and instead reported it to the court. This was also the reason why Wang Xu's father framed the Xie family and the entire Xie family was executed."

Xie Jinzhao held the broken Fang Tian Huaji and said disapprovingly, "The Wang family is guilty, but the Xie family's biggest enemy should be Xiao Shengyuan. If he didn't have the intention to destroy the Xie family, Wang Lin wouldn't dare to slander and frame the Xie family even if he had ten times the courage. To put it bluntly, the monarch and his ministers colluded with each other and framed the loyal and good people. They will definitely suffer retribution in the future!"

Lan Xuan'er nodded and pumped her fist in encouragement, "That's right, the Emperor of Southern Chen is really going too far!"

Xie Jinzhao glanced at Lan Huaijun and the others meaningfully, "Since ancient times, when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. It is not easy to meet a wise ruler, but it is too easy to die in the hands of a foolish ruler. So, it is true that the saying that one's achievements are too great will shock the ruler."

Lan Huaijun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What do you mean, Master Qingxiao?"

Xie Jinzhao said, "It's nothing, I just want to express my feelings here. By the way, what are the arrangements for Duke Dingguo? Ten thousand troops, if they fight back, can contain all the rebels, but if these people cannot be completely wiped out, once they disperse, they will inevitably cause great harm to the surrounding states and counties."

Lan Huaijun asked, "What good ideas do you have?"

“Whether there is a good plan or not, Fufeng County must be relieved as soon as possible. We cannot let this side affect the war situation in Southern Shu. And Qinzhou City will probably be involved if time goes on for a long time.” Xie Jinzhao said.

Everyone was shocked, knowing that what Xie Jinzhao said was true. However, even if there were about 100,000 troops besieging Fufeng County, and even if Duke Dingguo brought 10,000 troops, it would not be of any use.

These 10,000 troops were a temporary team assembled when Lu Changyuan passed through Yongzhou. They were still in the running-in stage with Lu Changyuan, so it was extremely difficult to win this battle.

After Xie Jinzhao made some arrangements personally, she rode at full speed to meet Lu Changyuan at night the next day.

Lu Changyuan didn't know anyone here. She had to inform Lu Changyuan as soon as possible about the exquisite formation set up by Nan Chen in Evil Wind Ridge, so as to avoid the 10,000 troops being wasted.

There was indeed a troublemaker in Lu Changyuan's army. He ordered them to set up camp after dark and not to move forward. However, several deputy generals came together and attacked Lu Changyuan as a coward. Now the military situation in Fufeng County was more urgent than fire. If Lu Changyuan did not dare to travel overnight, he could just follow behind them and they would act as the vanguard.

Lu Changyuan had been fighting in the military since he was a child. At the age of sixteen, he led his troops to the battlefield alone. He had great prestige in the army. In addition, as the queen's nephew, he had never encountered such provocation.

"You dare to disobey military orders?" Lu Changyuan said angrily.

The leader was Mu Yong, the son of Marquis Jing'an. He sneered, "I dare not! It's just that everyone is saying that Duke Dingguo is brave but not wise. We are all sons of noble families. Who wouldn't want to take this opportunity to make achievements? If Duke Dingguo is timid and afraid of trouble, it will be a small matter if his achievements are delayed, but it will be a big matter if he misses the military opportunity. After all, we have no one to help protect us in the palace."
