Chapter 394 A chess game of death or life!
About an hour later, Li Changsheng came out of the room.
Seeing this, Lan Ruo hurried forward and asked with concern, "Master, how is Lan Zhi?"
Li Changsheng said: "There is no need to worry about my life anymore!"
Lanruo rushed in to see Lanzhi.
"Lanzhi!"
At this time, Lanzhi was lying on the bed. Although she was panting from exhaustion, her pretty face was full of satisfaction and happiness.
When she saw her sister coming over, she quickly took her sister's hand and excitedly shared her happiness at the moment.
Her boldness and straightforwardness made Lan Ruo at a loss for how to respond for a moment, and she could only smile awkwardly.
"Lanzhi, you've just recovered from a serious illness and need to rest well!"
suddenly!
A strange thought also emerged in Lan Ruo's mind.
She really wanted to ask her sister what it felt like to make love.
But as soon as this idea came into her mind, she rejected it.
Lanruo, oh Lanruo, what are you thinking about?
The master had to resort to this desperate measure in order to save Lanzhi.
Seeing her sister's strange expression, Lanzhi asked curiously with her eyes flashing:
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"
"How about letting Master take a look at it for you?"
Lanzhi's words brought Lanruo back to her senses and gave her a fright.
She quickly shook her little head like a rattle and said with a red face, "I'm fine, no need!"
……
When Yu Rou saw Li Changsheng coming out, she went up to him and asked, "How does it taste?"
Li Changsheng: "What does it feel like?"
Seeing that Li Changsheng was pretending to be stupid, Yu Rou rolled her eyes at him.
"What else could it be? Of course it's Lanzhi!"
As she spoke, she pointed towards the room.
When Li Changsheng saw Yu Rou speaking such vicious words again, he felt ashamed.
Seeing that Li Changsheng ignored her, Yu Rou started asking again.
“Isn’t it very moist?”
Li Changsheng was speechless and just replied casually.
"As runny as you!"
When Yu Rou heard this, her fair cheeks suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
……
"What, Sun Wuya also failed?"
When Xiao Yunyong heard that Sun Wuya had also failed, he was immediately shocked.
It seems that this Li Changsheng is more troublesome than he imagined.
Wang Lun was ashamed when he saw that the "strategy" he had proposed had failed.
"General, I have another plan to kill Li Changsheng!"
Due to a series of failures, Xiao Yunyong's trust in Wang Lun has declined significantly.
He asked with a questioning tone, "What's the plan? Is it feasible?"
Wang Lun vowed, "It will definitely work this time. If not, I'm willing to bring my head to you!"
Seeing that Wang Lun spoke so confidently, Xiao Yunyong began to believe it a little more.
"What's the plan? Tell me quickly!"
Wang Lun said, "General, most of Yannan has now fallen into the hands of the Tiandao League thieves. Those thieves dream of taking over Ancheng!"
Xiao Yunyong was confused and asked, "But what does this have to do with dealing with Li Changsheng?"
Wang Lun said, "General, the city of An is safe because of you!"
"All we need to do is find a legitimate reason to give up this line of defense and allow the thieves from the Tiandao League to attack."
"By then, with only the few hundred men under Li Changsheng and the tens of thousands of old, weak, and sick people, we will definitely not be able to defend Ancheng."
"If Li Changsheng were to survive and defend Ancheng, he would surely be killed by the experts of the Tiandao League."
"If he wanted to slip away before the city fell, he would have escaped. The crime of losing the city and territory alone is enough to make him die without a burial place!"
"Furthermore, when Li Changsheng and the Tiandao League are both defeated, we can lead our army back and retake Ancheng. We can even severely damage the main force of the Tiandao League and achieve a great achievement!"
After hearing Wang Lun's plan, Xiao Yunyong's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, this is a good plan. Li Changsheng will definitely die no matter whether he advances or retreats!"
After a burst of excitement, Xiao Yunyong fell into deep thought again.
"Military Advisor, what legitimate reason do you think we should find to take all the defenders away without arousing Li Changsheng's suspicion?"
Wang Lun stared at the map and his eyes fell on a border area.
"General, wasn't it said a few days ago that the barbarian army invaded Lincheng?"
"We lead the army to resist the barbarians and protect the people living on the border from being bullied by foreign tribes. This is justified. Even if the incident reaches Luodu, no one can find fault with it."
Xiao Yunyong clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, that's the reason!"
"Without delay, pass the order down. The army will march tomorrow, heading for Lincheng!"
……
As soon as Li Changsheng returned to Ancheng, his subordinates came to report that someone from Xiao Yunyong had come to deliver the message.
It was said that Lincheng was being invaded by barbarians and the situation was extremely urgent. The people living in the border areas were in dire straits and needed to be rescued.
Xiao Yunyong is going to lead the army to Lincheng to resist the invasion of barbarians!
Upon hearing this news, Yu Rou couldn't help but frown slightly and said indignantly.
"My husband, it seems that Xiao Yunyong is guilty of his crime. He's worried that you'll go after him and bring charges against him, so he wants to run away overnight!"
Li Changsheng fell into deep thought.
He didn't answer.
Instead, he stared at the topographic map and read it carefully.
Soon, his frown relaxed and he looked as if he had suddenly understood something.
"Xiao Yunyong isn't afraid of me coming to punish him, but he's planning to kill someone else with a borrowed knife!"
Yun Rou was completely confused and asked doubtfully, "Killing someone with a borrowed knife?"
Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, he basically took away all the elite defenders when he went to Lincheng this time."
"The Tiandao League is determined to capture Ancheng. They will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity and will definitely launch a massive attack!"
After listening to Li Changsheng's explanation, Yu Rou suddenly understood.
"My husband, if that's the case, we must not let Xiao Yunyong take the defenders away. Otherwise, when the Tiandao Alliance launches an attack, we won't be able to defend Ancheng with just the rest of us!"
Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "It's impossible to stop it. The soldiers under Xiao Yunyong are all private soldiers of the Xiao family. They are only loyal to the Xiao family and will not obey the orders of the court."
"Even if we force them to stay, it will be useless. There's always the possibility of something else happening."
Yu Rou thought about it and felt that what Li Changsheng said made some sense.
"My husband, if that's the case, let's leave this troubled place before the Tiandao League raises its troops and attacks Ancheng!"
Li Changsheng still shook his head.
"No, Your Majesty appointed me as the prefect of Yannan, and Ancheng is the county seat of Yannan."
"As the official of this place, if I knew Ancheng was in danger, but I ran away for the sake of self-preservation, I would be disloyal to the court and unjust to the people. I would be betraying my conscience!"
Yu Rou was moved by Li Changsheng's words and her expression was touched.
She bit her lip and said, "My husband, even if I die in Ancheng, I will stay with you!"
Li Changsheng smiled calmly and said, "It hasn't come to that yet, why bother talking about life or death!"
Seeing the confident smile on Li Changsheng's face, Yu Rou knew in her heart that he must have come up with a countermeasure. She couldn't wait to ask, "Husband, have you figured out how to break the deadlock?"
Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, but whether we can break the deadlock depends on Deng Zhong, Du Xiao and others."
Yu Rou was slightly stunned and said, "Husband, I haven't seen Deng Zhong and Du Xiao for several days. Where have they been?"
Li Changsheng said: "He's going to carry out a secret mission for me!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be rushing here with the Tiance Guards."
When she heard the word "Tian Ce Wei", Yu Rou's eyes lit up.
"My husband, did you anticipate that Xiao Yunyong would have this trick, and that's why you made the arrangements so early on?"
Li Changsheng didn't answer directly, but just smiled mysteriously...
