"Shut down? Even after they enter the city, we still don't have the advantage in numbers. General Yuchi still did not understand, and was not at ease, but Liang Yue had completely understood her meaning.

"I see what she means, let's set a trap in the city and invite her to join us. When the time comes, we will be in the dark and the enemy in the light. Liang Yue recalled that back in Pirate Island, Xue Moyun had also used this tactic. With just a few people guarding the mountain, he had reduced the number of pirates that attacked them to a few hundred.

"That's exactly what it means." Xue Moyun nodded.

Hearing Xue Moyun's plan, Mu Ying could not help but nod his head. The two of them were indeed of the same mind as husband and wife. Even their thoughts were the same.

"A brilliant plan, a brilliant plan. Your Royal Highness, please make the arrangements." When the General Yuchi heard this, he repeatedly cheered.

"Alright, the plan for tomorrow is as follows. General Liang Yue, you, Brother Xue and Yuchi Min are in charge of setting up the traps in the city. I, General Yuchi, have a complicated plan to fight against the enemy, I want to lure them in. " Mu Ying stood up and arranged for them to arrive.

"And me, Imperial Uncle." At this time, Mu Zhuoshi stood up and requested of Mu Ying.

"Zhuo Zhi, you have just escaped from danger, and your body is still weak, so it would be inappropriate for you to join the battle. I think it's better to take care of my body first. " Mu Ying looked at the pale Mu Zhuoshi and asked worriedly.

"Royal Uncle, I've already done this! I've already snatched away one of my arms, I want to avenge myself!" Mu Zhuoshi pleaded with a determined attitude.

"Please make the arrangements, General." Mu Zhuoshi knelt down on one knee.

Everyone was both touched and pained to see how determined he was.

"Alright, since you have such courage and intelligence, then you and Wei Ming will be in charge of the city gate guards. No enemy is allowed to enter without my signal. " Mu Ying gave him a very important but relatively less dangerous mission.

Mu Zhuoshi thought about it, understood the painstaking efforts Mu Ying had put in, and happily accepted it.

"Thank you, General." Mu Zhuoshi kowtowed in thanks.

That night, everyone moved according to their plan.

Mu Zheng listened to Mu Lingfeng's words, in order to understand his doubts, he patted Mu Lingfeng and went to investigate.

"However, this matter has yet to be properly investigated. Try to be tactful with your words and not say anything excessive." Mu Zheng warned. He was still a little concerned about Xue Moyun.

"This son understands." Mu Lingfeng said cautiously. As he turned around to leave, he swaggered his way to this place that he had wanted to enter for a long time.

Liu Ruyi knew that Xue Moyun was no longer in Princess Mansion, but in order to act, she still came to the small courtyard from time to time, pretending to report to Xue Moyun about the situation in the small courtyard.

After coming and going, he had gotten familiar with Lan Zhi. The two of them were around the same age, and would often chat casually in the small courtyard.

"I wonder how the Madam is doing right now. I miss her so much." Lan Zhi said as he looked up into the sky.

"Madam will definitely be happy with Prince right now and will be back soon." Liu Ruyi said with a sour feeling in his heart.

"I've been with Madame for a long time. I feel so empty when she's gone. Fortunately, you are here to talk to me, otherwise I would be so depressed that I would die. " Lan Zhi said.

"Well, I can't find anyone in the Mansion who would like to talk to me. Fortunately, I have you. Otherwise, I don't know who to talk to when I'm troubled." Liu Ruyi patted her hands and said.

As the two of them chatted, they suddenly heard a commotion from outside, as if there were people arguing.

"What happened?" The two of them looked at each other and quickly stood up.

Ever since it was bestowed with the title of the princess' residence, it had never been so noisy.

"Is something wrong? I'll go take a look." Lan Zhi hurriedly walked out.

Who are you people? The butler chided him angrily.

"Old thing, look carefully. This is the emperor's imperial edict. Our third prince has followed the orders and has come to investigate the princess." Hurry and get her out of here! " A subordinate beside Mu Lingfeng said arrogantly.

"Investigating the princess … I'll have to wait here first. I need to go and notify her." The butler said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. No matter what, Xue Moyun was still a princess personally bestowed by the emperor, and the prince's main wife as well.

"You dare to make us wait, you …"

"Xu Li!" "Don't be impudent." Mu Lingfeng let Xu Li cause a ruckus for half a day, afraid that he would make a big deal out of it, so he spoke up to stop him.

"Yes, third prince." Only then did Xu Li embarrassedly step back.

The butler rolled his eyes at him, then hurried over to Xue Moyun's courtyard and called her.

As he walked over, he bumped into Lan Zhi who was coming out.

"Butler, what's going on? Why is it so noisy?" Xue Moyun asked.

"Miss Lan Zhi, may I trouble you to inform the third prince that he has come under orders to investigate the princess?"

"What? Investigate the princess? Is the imperial edict fake?" Lan Zhi was shocked, and immediately asked.

"Your servant has seen it. It is indeed an imperial edict. You should hurry up and report it to the princess." Let her come out and deal with them. These people are too arrogant, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop them for long. " The butler urged him anxiously.

"Ah, alright, alright. I'll go call Madam now." Lan Zhi agreed and quickly returned to the small courtyard.

"Oh no, what should we do? What should we do?" Lan Zhi hurriedly walked in.

"What happened?" Seeing Lan Zhi's panic-stricken look, she immediately went to him and asked.

"The third prince received the imperial edict saying that he was ordered to investigate the princess. What should I do?" Lan Zhi grabbed her and asked anxiously.

"Why did you suddenly investigate the madame when everything was fine?" Liu Ruyi was puzzled, but he quickly calmed down.

"Don't panic, let's think of a way." Liu Ruyi comforted her.

"How about this..." Liu Ruyi whispered into Lan Zhi's ear.

"Minhan Changyang led his troops to attack the city gates of parathion. I must capture parathion today. " Minhan Changyang said to himself.

"Mu Ying, you cowardly turtle, you only have to hide in the city and don't dare to come out and fight me. "If you're a man, then come out. Don't make me look down on you. You're just a great general. You just have a false reputation …"

Minhan Changyang ordered the people outside to scold, the purpose was to enrage Mu Ying and get him out.

Sure enough, after cursing for a long time, Mu Ying could not take it anymore. He finally opened the city gate and brought the army out.

"What? Without food and fodder, I'll be so hungry in the future that I'll panic. The dogs are barking now." Mu Ying came out and said with a sneer.

"Tsk tsk, there are only so few soldiers left in the city, yet they're still so arrogant. As expected of a famous general." Minhan Changyang sarcastically replied.

"What's the use of talking back, we will see the results on the battlefield." Mu Ying said as he led his army and rushed towards Minhan Changyang and the others.

Lan Zhi discussed with Liu Ruyi for a while before walking out: "Madam has caught wind cold recently, so she is currently bedridden and cannot be treated as a guest. I followed you back to them. " Lan Zhi said as he walked out with the butler.

Mu Lingfeng waited for a long time, but he did not see Xue Moyun coming over. When he saw her maidservants come over, he was immediately enraged in his heart: "This Xue Moyun, is too arrogant."

"Greetings, third prince." Lan Zhi stepped forward and bowed.

"Where's your wife? Hurry up and call her out to see me." Mu Lingfeng said arrogantly.

My wife accidentally caught a cold and was bedridden. Therefore, when this servant came to investigate, all you had to do was to ask me. This servant will tell you everything I know. Lan Zhi said calmly.

"How dare you? I came here on the orders of the emperor. Actually, a maid can replace me." Mu Lingfeng shouted in anger.

"Madam is indeed bedridden. All you are doing right now is investigating and following orders to capture her. How could you insist on Madam coming out?" In case things get worse, can you bear it, except for some accidents? " When the butler saw that Mu Lingfeng was being too rude, he objected. No matter what, he was a person who had seen too many great scenes. He did not take Mu Lingfeng's arrogant appearance seriously at all.

Furthermore, since Madam is a princess and an imperial concubine, her relationship with the Emperor and the crown prince are very deep, so he is not afraid of this Mu Lingfeng.

Mu Lingfeng was rendered speechless by the butler, he really wanted to kill him on the spot. However, the Emperor had also told him to keep a low profile and investigate, so as to not let everyone know about it. He didn't dare to disobey, so he could only endure for now.

Seeing that Lan Zhi and the butler seemed to have the intention to stop them, and hearing that Xue Shaoli had not seen Xue Moyun for a long time, he realized that something was amiss. Could it be that Xue Moyun is not in the palace?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly changed to a smiling face and said with a fake smile:

"Since it is inconvenient for Madam to come here, we should ask her ourselves." Mu Lingfeng said treacherously.

"No, Madam's room will not allow you to enter." Lan Zhi firmly refused.

Hearing Lan Zhi's words, Mu Lingfeng was even more sure of the suspicion in his heart.

"Then bring us in. I'm in the courtyard, Madame is in the room, as long as I can see her, there's someone in the middle who can pass on the message." Mu Lingfeng was unwilling to let it go.

"This …" Lan Zhi wanted to stop him, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"What, if this doesn't work, then you're not giving me any face at all." "I came here on the orders of the emperor, but you repeatedly refused. If you disobey the imperial edict, I can kill you on the spot." Mu Lingfeng said as he gnashed his teeth. This was already his limit.

When Lan Zhi heard her threat, he trembled in fear for a bit. Then, he said: "Alright, I'll bring you guys with me."

Minhan Changyang and Mu Ying battled for half a day, Mu Ying only brought twenty thousand men, although they fought stubbornly for half a day, they were still defeated, and as they got out of the battle they began to retreat towards the city gate.

Minhan Changyang was extremely pleased, at this time, the one who stood on top of the city wall to protect the city gate was actually the armless Mu Zhuoshi, he could not help but burst out laughing: "Mu Ying, oh Mu Ying, is there really no one else in your West Cold, to actually send this cripple who had just revived into battle! "Hahaha, hahaha!"

Minhan Changyang was extremely pleased, he felt that victory was already in his hands.

"Come on, attack!" Minhan Changyang stopped laughing, and suddenly ordered.

The army followed the orders and attacked Mu Ying and the others. Mu Ying fought and retreated, continuously retreating towards the city gate.
