Chapter 64: Going to Dongyi City is blocked like this?!

Li Cheng'an is meticulous and has planned everything clearly.

Given his noble status, if he set foot in Dongyi City and deliberately let his whereabouts be noticed.

Well, whether it is Northern Qi or Dongyi City with Si Gu Jian, they will inevitably be overwhelmed by this temptation.

After all, being able to eliminate a grandmaster from Nanqing who has unlimited potential and a promising future is undoubtedly the result that both sides have dreamed of.

This time, he was planning to use himself as bait, swimming skillfully on the water like a fish, luring the two forces of Northern Qi and Si Gu Jian to jointly extend their greedy fishing rods to him.

They would certainly mistakenly believe that he was accompanied only by a great master like Lao Huang.

Little did he know that this was a brilliant plan he had set up.

When the time is right, he will give an order like the coldest wind in winter to summon the legendary Snow Dragon Riders.

Once they fight side by side with Jian Jiuhuang, it will be like a thunderbolt that strikes the sky and a fire that stirs the earth, destroying the fighting power of Northern Qi and Dongyi like dead branches and fallen leaves, leaving no room for them at all.

Of course, Li Chengyun had already taken into account the Northern Qi's national teacher Ku He, who was also a powerful grandmaster, in the chess game.

However, although he acknowledged that Ku He was powerful, he was not afraid of him at all.

Ku He and Si Gu Jian, their strength may be considered impressive in the eyes of the world.

Even if he were to compare himself with Li Chengyun at this moment, it would probably be like the brightness of the full moon versus the light of a firefly, incomparably too strong.

However, if compared with Jian Jiuhuang, there is a huge difference between them.

Li Chengyun was very clear about Lao Huang's strength. Even if he fought one against two, it would be as easy as taking something out of a bag.

After careful consideration, Li Chengyun rode his horse over and slowly walked to Qin Ye's side.

Qin Ye and the other generals were alert when they saw this, their eyes were as sharp as hawks:

"I wonder what you are here for, Your Majesty?"

Li Chengyun smiled calmly, his voice calm but revealing unquestionable determination:
"I came here this time just to inform General Qin and the other generals that I want to go to Dongyi City."

Dongyi City?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone frowned and looked worried, as if they had heard some ominous sign.

Before Qin Ye could speak, a general beside him took the lead and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, this is a big mistake! The situation in the Dongyi area is complicated and you have never been there. If something unexpected happens there, it will be difficult for us to explain to His Majesty!"

The other generals also echoed and spoke sincerely.

"Indeed, His Majesty has ordered the prince to follow General Qin closely. The prince should not act on his own and should fight side by side with us. This is the rule in the army."

"Your Highness, General Qin has made careful arrangements for the subsequent battles. As long as we follow his plan, victory will be within our grasp! Your Highness, please do not act rashly, or you will lose your composure."

"Your Majesty, our main target right now is Northern Qi. We still need to take a long-term view on the Dongyi issue. We must not be attacked from both sides, otherwise we will be in danger!"

At this time, Qin Ye also spoke:
"Your Majesty, the war between Qing and Northern Qi is at a stalemate. We should not rashly provoke foreign enemies! If we rashly attack Dongyi City, it will make the situation of Qing even worse."

"By then, if Northern Qi and Dongyi join forces, Qing will be in danger!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyun shook his head slightly, showing disdain:

"General Qin and the other generals don't need to worry."

"Who said that I went to Dongyi City this time to fight with them?" Although Li Chengyun said so, generals such as Qin Ye still felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, whether you go to Dongyi City for a confrontation or not, this move will affect our military strength! General Qin has made careful arrangements, and we must not lose sight of the big picture and mess up the overall situation!"

"That's right, Your Majesty! You are of noble status, and His Majesty has specially ordered General Qin to protect you! If you insist on going to Dongyi City, we will have to send soldiers to accompany you for protection. Wouldn't this miss the opportunity to fight? It is really unwise!"

"Your Majesty, please stay here! Our army is already stretched to its limits. If we disperse our forces because of you, we will lose the battle, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Your Majesty, you should put the overall situation first! His Majesty's will is that our army can win the battle against Northern Qi. There is no need to do this and increase the risk."

Qin Ye also gave earnest advice again:
"Your Majesty, you have heard what the soldiers said. If you go to Dongyi City, our army must send people to protect you. By then, the troops will be dispersed, which will be disadvantageous to the battle situation!"

These words are by no means false, but come from the bottom of my heart.

Although Qin Ye disliked and was wary of Li Chengyun, he really did not want to see Li Chengyun die here, at least he did not want him to die in front of him.

As a prince, if Li Chengyun encounters an accident here, it will be a huge disaster for the entire Qing Kingdom.

Qin Ye understood that if such a misfortune really happened, he would bear the greatest responsibility and would not be able to shirk it.

This is because Emperor Qing entrusted Li Chengyun's safety to him before the army set off.

Therefore, he must do his best to persuade and stop Li Chengyun's actions in front of everyone.

If everyone is opposed and Li Chengyun still insists on going, then if anything unexpected happens, no one can blame him.

Seeing that all the generals spoke up, they all wanted to stop Li Chengyun from going to Dongyi City.

Li Chengyun glanced at everyone calmly, his expression still calm:

"First of all, I don't need your protection!"

"Furthermore, I have made it clear that I will take Dongyi City!"

Upon hearing his words, Qin Ye and the other generals all changed their expressions.

He was so arrogant that he totally ignored the advice!
Moreover, from his words and actions, it seems that he does not take people seriously.

Saying that there is no need for protection, doesn't that imply that the protection of others is useless?

Such words are a complete humiliation to all the soldiers!

Beside Qin Ye, a general dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general stepped forward with a sneer on his face and his words were as sharp as a sword:
"Your Highness, you sound so relaxed! You said you don't need our protection, and you insisted on going to Dongyi City! Does Your Highness think that we really want to protect you? In fact, it was all His Majesty's order for us to protect Your Highness, so we followed closely."

"Otherwise, with what the prince has done now, if he were placed in our army, he would probably be looked down upon and despised!"

"Of course, the prince is of noble status and has a great master to protect him, so he is naturally full of confidence."

"But, Your Majesty, don't think that you can rule the world and be fearless just because you have a Grandmaster by your side! Si Gu Jian, the guardian of Dongyi City, is also a Grandmaster with a great reputation!"

"Your Highness may feel that this is insignificant if he seeks excitement, but this kind of risky behavior is actually dragging us down and the entire war!"

"If the prince is unfortunately captured, it will put our army in a passive position!"

"Even more, if the prince insists on his own way and is captured, it will destroy the advantage gained by countless soldiers of Qing Kingdom at the cost of their lives, and it will also put our soldiers in a life-and-death situation!"
