At this time, Luo Lingwei finally breathed a sigh of relief. She, who had been tensed up, immediately felt the two battles as soon as she relaxed. Earlier, she seemed to be someone else. Usually, although Luo Lingwei was experienced and knowledgeable, she had never come in contact with the arrangement of troops. For Luo Lingwei, things like marching and fighting had only been seen in books and on television. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to command these people to engage in defensive warfare today.

At this time, Luo Lingwei's steps were a little unsteady. Seeing this, Little Qing, who was at the side, hurriedly stepped forward to support Luo Lingwei. Luo Lingwei finally did not fall to the ground, while Zhi Xia, who had been standing to the side, was now ashamed. She was a dignified seven foot man, a refined person, yet she was being beaten by a woman. He took off the black veil on his head as he thought of this. His gray hair was scattered all over the place.

He had been working hard for half his life and had been living for the common people all this time, but he had never thought that he was already over a hundred years old. However, with today's disaster, it was still a good thing.

While Zhi County was thinking, Luo Lingwei had already been arranged to ride on a horse carriage, with Little Qing and Little White sitting in the carriage to wait on her. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu rode their horses to protect Luo Lingwei's carriage as they headed to the west side of the city.

"Zhao Hu, bring a team of people with you to the prefectural area and the headquarter of the prefectural city to capture all the people who are involved in this matter. Zhang Long, let's head over to the Brightheart Temple and capture these bandits!" Luo Lingwei's somewhat tired voice came from inside the carriage. Although this voice was a bit weak, it was not something that could be refused.

Zhang Long suddenly thought back to many years ago when he went out hunting with his highness. Although his highness was injured, he still insisted on hunting until he believed that he had hunted enough prey before returning home. Today, the princess in the carriage behaved exactly the same as the prince. They truly deserved to be called husband and wife.

After giving her orders, Luo Lingwei sat in the carriage and fell asleep. After seeing that Luo Lingwei had fallen asleep, Zhang Long instructed the driver to slowly drive towards the 'Brightheart Temple', while he himself led the large group to the 'Brightheart Temple'.

After arriving at the Brightheart Temple, Zhang Long's scouts had already been waiting for a long time. He quickly told Zhang Long about the current situation in the mountain.

At this moment, the Enlightenment Heart Temple had already sealed off the mountain gate under the leadership of Zen Master Shu Xin. This Enlightening Mind Monastery was built on top of a mountain peak, and behind it was a bottomless abyss. The reason the Brightheart Temple's founder chose this desperate place to build a temple was to let his disciples see this abyss and understand the nature of things.

However, today, it had become a lonely city where the disciples of his clan stubbornly struggled. At this moment, Zhang Long had already led his group to the foot of the mountain. Before they even reached the mountain, they saw birds flying in the forest and immediately knew where they were lying in ambush.

"Pass down the order, the flag shall be put down. Ten men per team, let's go up the mountain." Zhang Long said to the soldiers.

He didn't have Zhao Wei's combat experience, so he had to follow his own plan.

Fortunately, he was facing a group of monks who were also not familiar with the matters of the battlefield. He had brought a group of elite soldiers here while the other side relied on the mountain risk. Both sides had their own strengths and weaknesses.

After midnight, Luo Lingwei's car slowly arrived at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the 20-man team was left behind to guard the food and supplies, as well as to pick up Luo Lingwei's group.

After arriving at their destination, Luo Lingwei had had enough rest. Little Qing and Little White helped her out of the carriage, and the guards immediately came to see her.

"No need for formalities." Luo Lingwei waved her hand, signaling them to rise, and then asked, "Where is your main force?"

"Reporting to the Empress, just now General Zhang Long led a large group of people up the mountain." the soldier replied.

Hearing this, Luo Lingwei could not help but sigh: "Ai, this Zhang Long is too reckless. I'm afraid the odds are against him coming up the mountain this time!"

When Xiaoqing heard that Zhang Long was in trouble, she panicked, "Sister Weiwei, is there any danger?"

Luo Lingwei nodded her head, "Yes, think about it, this Enlightening Mind Temple has been in operation here for many years. We monks know the situation in the mountain, and the enemies have been preparing for a long time. If we were to fight head on with them in the dark night, we are afraid of being taken advantage of! "

As expected, not only did the group that entered the mountain not get any advantage, they were also ambushed and lost half of their troops in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Long came to a realization. He immediately gathered up his troops and retreated down the mountain.

They had originally been a team of three hundred players, but now there were only a hundred or so people left. After descending the mountain, Zhang Long felt very ashamed. Although he was proficient in martial arts, he knew nothing about leading troops into battle.

"Empress, your foresight is indeed divine! "General Zhang and the rest are here." A quartermaster who was stationed at the side came to report the situation to Luo Lingwei.

Luo Lingwei nodded, indicating that she knew. At the same time, Zhang Long also arrived in front of Luo Lingwei's carriage and knelt on the ground.

"This lowly official is useless, unable to wipe out the bandits within the mountain. Furthermore, he even caused the loss of one of his subordinates. I plead for the Empress to punish him."

Luo Lingwei looked at him and faintly smiled, "It's alright. If it were another person, they would have made the same mistake. I will forgive you for your innocence." Pass down your orders, reorganize your men, and set up camp. Rest well. We will attack the mountain again after daybreak. "

Zhang Long was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not say anything. He accepted the order and left.

After the soldiers received the order, they began to set up camp. Before long, everyone had settled down at the foot of the mountain to rest.

On the morning of the next day, after a night of rest, everyone could be considered to have some energy. After Luo Lingwei walked out of the tent, she saw that the morning mist was still lingering in the mountain. She nodded and said to the guard beside her: "Send the order down, we'll eat breakfast quickly. Prepare to attack after half an hour."

Once the military order was given, all the soldiers began to move. Everyone unwrapped the dry rations from around their waists and began to eat heartily while soaking in the water. After a short while, they finished their breakfast and began to organize their troops.

After everyone was ready, Luo Lingwei changed into the armor that Ye Lianhe had prepared for her. She rode with Little White, who had also changed into a new set of armor, and they headed towards the Bright Heart Temple.

Upon reaching the entrance, Luo Lingwei summoned two scouts and had them disguise themselves before going to the mountain to investigate.

The scout accepted the order and left. Not long later, the two returned with a large bald monk in their hands.

Luo Lingwei and the others took a closer look. This monk was the same person who had stolen the horse bandit from that day!
