Chapter 269 Mantis, Yellow Bird
Pan Yingying frowned slightly, she felt that Wu'an Hou's actions definitely had a deeper meaning.

"Tell me the truth, were you discovered by your uncle and grandfather when you entered the space?"

Yu Chaosheng was stunned for a moment, scratched his chin, and was a little uncertain, "It shouldn't be... that serious, right?"

Just that one time, he came out of the space and happened to bump into Marquis Wu'an who was opening the tent. As an old man of his age, his eyesight shouldn't be that good... right?

Seeing him like this, Pan Yingying wondered what else she didn't understand. She raised her hand and was about to twist his ear.

"From now on, when you're outside, don't let your body come in with you!"

Yu Chaosheng covered his ears and was chased all over the space. Batian thought they were playing, so he rushed over and jumped.

"Oh my! I won't dare to do it again! I promise to be more careful next time! Anyway, he didn't say anything, so we'll just pretend we don't know!" Yu Chaosheng was not very confident, "Besides, we are the golden boy and jade girl who came down from the upper realm to transcend the calamity, so what's wrong with some magic?"

Pan Yingying was so angry that she wanted to kick him. "You still think you're right, don't you? I think you've gone crazy writing novels! And you mean magic? Why don't you say you have magic?"

She was really pissed off by this kid!
The two men and the tiger made a fuss for a long time, and seeing that the time was almost up, they each returned to their own space to rest, leaving Batian guarding the medicinal herb field, digging here and scratching there.

……

……

Linzhou, the prefectural government.

Yu Cheng was leaning against a spacious chair covered with tiger skin, while a pretty young lady was kneeling on the ground tenderly and gently massaging his knees.

Another woman in a pink gauze dress held a cup of hot wine in her hand and slowly fed it into his mouth.

Before, he met a noble man on the way to escape famine, and after entering Wu County, he helped to pass on messages several times. However, he was finally discovered by Chen Qinyu, and all his family members were killed. He was born with a heart slightly crooked than others, but he luckily saved his life. After many hardships, he escaped to Linzhou and settled down in the notorious "bandit village".

But he was alone and had no way to fight against Chen Qinyu and avenge his people.

Fortunately, Daewoo's successive turmoil gave him confidence.

In order to use the tiger's skin to make a big banner, he remembered that the old patriarch once said that their Yu family had a wet nurse who was a princess of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, he decided to go all out and lied that he was a descendant of the previous dynasty. He gathered the villagers of the "bandit village" who had been conquered by him and took over Linzhou step by step.

The first thing they did after taking over Linzhou was to seek revenge on Chen Qinyu, but unfortunately the military advisor named Wuwei beside her was too powerful, so they had to retreat to Linzhou.

But maintaining an army requires money, and other places are too poor, so he looked down on them and could only turn his attention to the northwest.

I heard that Prince Xiao of the Northwest is the posthumous daughter of the late crown prince, and is now in her prime.

Yu Cheng tried to arrange a marriage at first, but when he heard from the person who went to inquire about the news that Prince Xiao already had a husband, and the couple loved each other very much, and they went everywhere together, he gave up the idea and prepared to take it step by step.

But he never expected that the people sent to Taoyuan City would be discovered and closely watched as soon as they entered the city.

There's no way. The looks of those people are different from those in Taoyuan City.

Even the poorest people in Taoyuan City had light in their eyes when they walked out. People coming from Linzhou had greed in their eyes, which made them very conspicuous in the crowd and easy to distinguish.

What Yu Cheng could not have imagined was that Taoyuan City was preparing to send a large army to attack, and was less than 500 miles away from Linzhou.

At this moment, he is dreaming of wearing a dragon robe and having three thousand concubines in his harem!
……

……

Wu County.

Chen Qinyu is practicing calligraphy.

She has been feeling uneasy lately and needs to practice calligraphy to calm down.

Chen Qingzhi left her again without hesitation. She understood his insistence, but could not agree with it.

What the hell is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism? She is going to be the ruler of the world. Let's see if he will go to war with his only daughter for the so-called wise emperor.

Wuwei pushed the door open and Chen Qinyu threw down the jade pen in annoyance.

"Sir, I can't calm down."

Wuwei smiled and took out a note from his sleeve, "Maybe you will feel better after reading this news." Chen Qinyu took the note, read the words on it clearly, and a happy smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Great! That's great! Yu Cheng, that bastard! I won't be able to sleep well until I kill him."

Yu Cheng was the first person who escaped from her, but relying on his own cleverness, he dared to challenge her. He really overestimated his own abilities!

Chen Qinyu raised his eyes and looked at Wuwei, who was wearing a gray long coat. "Sir, I want to meet with that Prince Xiao and persuade her to join my camp. What do you think?"

Wu Wei's eyes flashed with disapproval, and he replied softly: "No, from the information I got, this Prince Xiao is also an ambitious man. You may meet on the battlefield in the future."

In short, if Chen Qinyu wants to convince others to follow her, it is absolutely impossible.

Just because she wants to be an empress doesn't mean others don't want to.

Chen Qinyu casually threw the note into the charcoal basin beside him and shrugged without comment.

Then the mantis can only stalk the cicada, while the oriole is waiting behind.

……

……

On the third day, several scouts who had disguised themselves and went to Linzhou to conduct reconnaissance returned to Guangxia Mountain.

When reporting the situation to Pan Yingying, the man in his 30s couldn't help but burst into tears.

"It's so tragic! It's so tragic!"

"Those yellow soldiers don't even treat us as human beings!"

"They actually treat humans as two-legged sheep to eat!"

"No one did this when we were fleeing! It's so abominable!"

"..."

Listening to the scouts' complaints, the others' eyes turned red with anger, and they wished they could rush into the city immediately to rescue their fellow citizens who were suffering.

Pan Yingying pursed her lips tightly, and her fists clenched in her sleeves made a creaking sound.

She was also very angry, but now she had to stand up and calm everyone's emotions, for fear that they would disobey orders and do something bad.

How many people are there now? Wouldn't it be a waste if they just rushed over like this? We still have to wait for the main force to arrive.

"Everyone, please be patient. I estimate that the army will arrive in three or four days. Let's be patient for now. When the time comes, we will gather all our strength and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor."

After hearing her firm words, everyone finally stopped clamoring to kill those beasts right away.

Pan Yingying continued to ask about the city’s fighting power.

The scouts also spoke in an orderly manner.

"I think I can beat three of them alone. They look really weak."

"You're only one against three? Then you're really not capable. I think I can fight one against five."

"Tsk! You are all scum! I can fight ten alone!"

"Just brag! You're fighting one against ten, or one against two, and you may not even be able to win!"

"..."

Pan Yingying: ...Why are you still comparing yourself with others?
After understanding the basic situation, Pan Yingying pinched her eyebrows.

As expected, people who have not received systematic scout training are not professional enough and their mouths are too gossipy.

The professionally trained scouts are not old enough, so they will easily be targeted by the Yellow Army once they enter. Even if they are not caught and used as sheep, they will easily get into trouble and be noticed by the other side.

She had no choice but to pick out these gossipers.

She swore that she would never let these people do this job again, and they should just stay in the camp and cut bread.
