Reborn to marry a deceitful prince, cultivating immortals and slashing gods

Chapter 59
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the north!"

Li Tan put down the ink brush in his hand and closed the book before the case.

"Biography of Cruel Officials".

The bodyguard who informed him inadvertently glanced at it, and his heart trembled.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from General Li Chenjin. Less than five days after the Empress Dowager Liaodan Shulu retreated, the Liaodan Khan led the army to make a comeback. The general personally led the army to a stalemate for seven days and nights. It is already insufficient, and the remaining army has less than [-] remnants."

Li Tan kept rubbing the written words with his left hand, and said casually:
"What about Pingzhou?"

The guard knelt on the ground and added:
"The general also said that it was Pingzhou who took the initiative to open the city gate to let the Liao army pass through the city, and that's why our army was caught off guard."

"This young Khan from Liao Dan still has some skills."

A young man standing next to Li Tan chuckled lightly, with a hint of admiration in his tone.

"Heh, this is not a treacherous method that that barbarian could have thought of. It is obviously my nephew who is running around, disobedient and unfilial, and trying to come up with some ideas thought up by small street thieves."

Li Tan frowned, and glanced at the man beside him, his displeasure was palpable in his words.

"What Master Yuezhang said is that the son-in-law is shallow."

The man folded his hands and bowed deeply to the person on the dragon chair.

"Go and tell Jin'er that I will send another two thousand reinforcements there immediately, and I must defend Yingzhou no matter what!"

"Your Majesty." The guard hesitated to speak, but still hesitated to say, "The general said that thirty thousand elite soldiers are needed."

There was silence overhead.

The guard could only hear his own breathing, and he was so frightened that his pores opened.

For a long time, he heard the son of heaven's tone of voice.

"Only two thousand, tell him to stick to it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard stood up with support, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Dan again.

He shook, sweat dripping down his face.

"Tell them that Princess Chuan Yunyao is here."

The guard breathed a sigh of relief, responded, and fled in a hurry.

The Ninth Five-Year Son of Heaven is indeed imposing.

Yingzhou.

Ye army camp tent.

"General! The reinforcements sent by His Majesty are about to arrive with food and grass!"

A soldier rushed in, with a layer of joy on his face, and hurriedly reported before he even had time to salute.

"How many have you come?"

The general in white had long hair scattered on his shoulders, lacking his usual fierceness, coupled with the shallow bloody wound on his face, he had a somewhat feminine temperament out of thin air, just like a person in a painting.

He was bare-chested, and was taking a broken arrow with a barb on his shoulder out of his flesh, and blood flowed down the firm line of his chest.

He tried his best to endure the pain without even humming.

"two thousand."

"Did you hear me right? Your Majesty said there are only two thousand?"

Li Chenjin threw the blood-soaked arrow on the ground, and asked back with a frown.

"It's true that there are only two thousand. Maybe it's because the Central Plains has not been peaceful recently. Your Majesty really can't allocate too many soldiers."

The general in white sighed, picked up the cloth and wrapped it around the wound, and pulled it tight.

At the moment of life and death, he was never seen panicking.

"General, it's a little bit more for this person, we"

"Stand on."

He put on the long coat hanging around his waist, listened to the din of the battle outside the camp, and walked out with the long sword in hand.

"General, we meet again."

A girl in a blue and black dress was sitting on a high city wall, with her long legs hanging lazily, swaying in mid-air.

She looked down at him, separated by a distance of tens of feet, the emotion in her eyes was dim.

Li Chenjin sat on the horse and looked over. Although it was only over a month ago, she always felt that she had changed a lot since the last time we met.

The battle was raging behind him.

"The big gift I left for the girl in Linhuang, does the girl still like it?"

Realizing that what he was talking about was about Marquis Yongding, Li Qianyin laughed suddenly, but her tone was cold and indifferent.

"Haha, of course I like it, but I also relieved the general's troubles, how should the general thank me?"

"Oh?"

Li Chenjin raised his eyebrows, and there was a playful smile in his eyes.

"Miss, what do you say? The Marquis of Yongding is a loyal minister who has served the country. How can he say that his confidant is in serious trouble?"

Li Qianyin picked up the long sword in her hand, tapped her toes, jumped off the city wall several feet high, and landed lightly.

"The general really doesn't understand, or is he pretending not to understand?"

She paced over, raising her jade-like fingers to touch the mane of his steed.

Then, she whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"The Marquis of Yongding sent my father's body back to Luoyang, and used Li Yunyao as a spearman, almost killing her, right?"

"The general is really infatuated for the princess."

"It's just the general's infatuation, does the princess know?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Qianyin's heart sank, and she continued to ask:

"What kind of Gu is my father? What kind of calculations are Li Tan and Shiwan Dashan planning?!"

Li Chenjin gave her a contemptuous look, as if he was listening to her talking about a stranger.

"Don't you think you're talking too much, girl? - Besides, I don't know about the girl's problem."

He let go of the rein and said calmly.

"Oh, my father was not the general who sent him to Lingxi?"

"Didn't you put the jade pendant that can represent his identity on the fake corpse so that everyone would think he was burned to death?"

"If it wasn't for the failure of Lingxi's plan, and the fact that Yongdinghou Youxin had heard about it, Li Tan wouldn't have wanted to confiscate his entire residence!"

The general in white looked at her, although his words were angry, but his eyes were absolutely clear and calm.

"After a few days, the girl has grown a lot."

He pressed his right hand to his waist.

"Really?" Li Qianyin flicked the hilt of the sword with a "ding", swung the long sword with her backhand, grabbed the horse rope, and dodged behind Li Chenjin.

"The General is still the same as ever--very cunning."

She turned and circled in mid-air, the long sword only pierced the man's face.

Li Chenjin didn't even hide, he slowly drew out the soft sword at his waist, and wrapped it around Li Qianyin's outstretched arm——

The soft sword coiled around her arm like a thin snake.

The white-clothed general's fox eyes glowed coldly, and suddenly he pulled his hand back, and the sharp blade smashed the clothes and flesh on her arm to pieces, instantly bloody.

Then he stood on the horseback and swept across, kicking Li Qianyin's abdomen because of the pain.

In an emergency, she flipped upside down in the air, grasping the ground with her left hand to stabilize her body, leaving five deep marks on her fingers.

"Li Chenjin from the Shizimen, he is indeed unparalleled in combat power."

A golden light flashed around the man on horseback.

"Li Tan really only does business that makes a steady profit without losing money, and even the sons he adopts are carefully selected and refined."

A man in black appeared behind him, and a long knife appeared suddenly accompanied by a golden light.

At this time, Li Qianyin untied her high hair tie, and tightly wrapped the long sword with her hand.

The two of them attacked the general in white with a knife and a sword, an immortal and a demon!
Li Chenjin managed to dodge, dodged into the melee of the ten thousand troops, and dragged a soldier over as a meat shield to block the stabbing blade.

"Li Heyan, what did you just say that you made it out of refining?"
