Chapter 291 The army is approaching, the army of warriors.
"No, eh? The duel is at noon, and it's not that day yet...eh?"
Looking at Yin Huanping's hurriedly leaving back, Li Mu sighed slightly and lay back on the couch.
"This woman always does whatever she wants..."
I simply ignored it and fell asleep soon.
...
noon.
Li Mu opened his eyes dazedly, glanced around blankly, sat up suddenly, opened the window and looked at the sun in the sky. It was obviously past 15:30.
"Have you changed your mind again?"
He quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the house.
In the mansion, the servants and maids were all in a hurry and did not even have time to stop and greet Li Mu.
Li Mu frowned and was about to pull a maid over to question her, but after thinking it over he gave up.
He turned his wrist, glanced at the copper coin in his hand, and leaped towards the front hall.
...
"What happened?"
As soon as Li Mu stepped into the front hall, he saw Yin Huanping, Dongmei, and Xiaozhao were all there, and hurriedly asked.
Yin Huanping saw Li Mu walking outside the hall, and she appeared in front of Li Mu, grabbed Li Mu's sleeve, and seemed to have found her backbone.
"Ran Nu, Ran Nu's army is approaching. Li Mu, Ran Nu's army has reached Donglai Pass."
Yin Huanping's tone was urgent and her expression was more nervous than ever before.
Hearing this, Li Mu was stunned for a moment.
Although Li Mu had traveled through time not long ago, he had already acquired a certain amount of common sense.
He is no longer the young man who could be fooled by Li Ling'er.
Logically speaking, it is only January now. In previous years, even if the Ran Nu invaded the border, it would not have occurred until March at the earliest.
Li Mu was confused, but seeing Yin Huanping was so anxious, he thought for a moment and asked:
"how many people?"
"At least eight thousand, or even more!" Yin Huanping replied without hesitation.
Hearing this number, Li Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Eight thousand people.
Even if it was 80,000, he wouldn't have such an expression...
The garrison of Donglai Pass is at least 200,000. If there is not an army of 400,000 who want to attack the city, isn't that nonsense?
At this time, Dongmei in the hall quickly ran to Yin Huanping's side, quietly pulled her hand back from Li Mu's body, pursed her lips, and whispered:
"Your Highness, there is something strange about Rannu's soldiers. The lowest one is at level three. According to the news from the border, Rannu's army this time is mostly composed of warriors above level two."
"Except for the Jiazi Army, the rest of the soldiers are simply unable to compete."
As she spoke, Dongmei frowned and secretly glanced at Yin Huanping beside her. Her voice became even softer.
"Also, there is news that Ran Nu had earlier sent a hundred assassins to infiltrate the city. The King of Yan has not shown up for many days."
Li Mu narrowed his eyes and immediately thought of the ten first-level Ran Nu assassins.
"A hundred dead warriors, they can't all be first-level warriors, right?"
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. He turned to look at Yin Huanping and spoke a little faster:
"You want to go to Donglaiguan?"
"Your Majesty..." Yin Huanping's voice was choked with sobs. Just as she was about to speak, Dongmei, who was standing beside her, interrupted her for the first time.
"Princess, it's the princess. I just received news that the princess has set off for the border with two hundred red-armored soldiers and three thousand palace soldiers. The master intends to stop her."
"This stupid girl is just causing trouble." Li Mu muttered and looked at Yin Huanping unhappily.
She was looking at Dongmei strangely, then her face turned pale, she turned to look at Li Mu, and said anxiously:
"I, I'm not..."
Li Mu waved his hand, interrupting Yin Huanping's words, and said after a long pause:
"Go to the palace and find Emperor Hongwen. Ask him for armor and experts."
Hearing this, Yin Huanping nodded vigorously, then was stunned and said quickly:
"So, what about you?"
Li Mu shrugged and pretended to be relaxed: "I'll go and take a look first and clear the obstacles for you, so that you don't have to be cautious when the reinforcements arrive."
Yin Huanping stared at Li Mu with her beautiful eyes, her eyes already moist.
She naturally understood the meaning of Li Mu's words, raised her hand and grabbed the collar of Li Mu's shirt, and said urgently:
"Forget it, forget it... You, you don't know how to march and fight, even if..."
However, halfway through her words, she saw Li Mu looking at her with a smile on his face.
Yin Huanping frowned slightly, looked at Li Mu's expression, pursed her lips, and changed the subject:
"Then I'll go with you."
Li Mu gently patted Yin Huanping's hand on her chest and said with a smile:
"I'm not going to lead troops to fight. Besides, if I'm alone, not to mention 8,000, even 80,000 Rannu soldiers can't stop me."
As he spoke, Li Mu's expression became serious again:
"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. No matter how many ordinary soldiers go, they will die. You go to the palace first, and then help me find a teacher. If you can invite a Confucian master to sit on the top of the city, won't this matter be resolved?"
Hearing this, Yin Huanping burst out laughing, gently tapped Li Mu's chest with her hand, and nodded:
"Well, I'll go right away, you..."
"I will leave immediately and stop Ling'er, that silly girl first."
After Yin Huanping left, Li Mu turned to look at Dongmei and asked curiously:
"Do you think she really doesn't understand, or is she just pretending?"
Dongmei lowered her head slightly, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Your Highness, His Highness does not want the Master to be in danger, and the Master naturally does not want to make His Highness worry."
"That's good!" Li Mu pinched Dongmei's cheeks, leaned down, and whispered to Dongmei,
"Go to the doctor's house later and tell Sister Ning'er about this. If the doctor's house is fine, let her live in the mansion."
"Also, if you encounter troubles that are difficult to solve, don't be stubborn, go to Tianzong and stay there temporarily until I come back."
"Tianzong?" Dongmei blushed and looked at Li Mu in surprise.
However, Li Mu didn't say anything more.
He strode towards Xiao Zhao and said with a smile:
"Why do you have that expression? Come, give me a hug, just give me a hug and then I'll leave."
Xiao Zhao hugged Li Mu with a wronged look on her face, unwilling to let go for a long time, her voice even more aggrieved:
"Sir, do you have to go?"
Li Mu was stunned, and looked down at Xiao Zhao, and saw that Xiao Zhao's face was flushed red, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Sir, you should be enjoying yourself when you return to the palace, but you keep getting into trouble. Your body is so precious..."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhao looked up at Li Mu, his eyebrows slowly furrowed, his expression firm, his tone solemn:
"Although Xiao Zhao doesn't have much ability, but, but in this kind of situation, Xiao Zhao should, should help you share the worries."
"Girl, you are getting bolder and bolder."
Li Mu raised his hand and pinched Xiao Zhao's nose, then gently rubbed her head and said softly,
"Because the first time I stepped into Prince Yan's Mansion, I got the best. I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay this favor."
"the best?"
Xiao Zhao had a confused look in her eyes and looked at Li Mu infatuatedly. Then, as if she thought of something, her face turned red and she quickly lowered her head again.
"Little girl! Look after the house!"
Seeing that Xiao Zhao was stunned by just one sentence, Li Mu raised his lips with a hint of pride and turned around to leave.
Unexpectedly, before he took a step forward, Xiao Zhao hugged his waist tightly again.
"This girl, when did she become so disobedient?"
Before he turned around, he heard Xiao Zhao hurriedly say:
"Now that the Master has left, what about Miss Lu? What about Miss Lu?"
