C1237 The Moon Goddess Is Not Leaving!
However, the arrows were fast and slow.
Beiliang City's sharp arrow was like a hot knife cutting through butter, and no one could stop it!
As for the three arrows from the east and west regions, their progress was slow, and they were stopped by the two generals, Xuan Wei and Xuan Wu.
However, all of this was within Li Huating's expectations.
Li Huating thought that the east and west regions were used to tie down more than half of the Fenghua Empire's military forces.
In the Beiliang City Army tent.
"Young Master..."
Red Lotus walked into the military tent with large strides. She raised her head and looked at Li Huating, who was frowning slightly behind the table, before saying gently, "It's time to eat!"
Li Huating rubbed his forehead and put down the book in his hand.
"Red Lotus, since you've come with me, you must be careful."
"On the battlefield, swords and sabers have no eyes. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you!"
Li Huating had never intended to bring Red Lotus along on this expedition.
However, Red Lotus bitterly begged and even secretly followed after the army.
Helpless, Li Huating could only bring Red Lotus along with the army.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Red Lotus's beautiful eyes slightly curved as she said with a smile, "Red Lotus will pay attention to safety and will also protect Young Master!"
Hearing this, Li Huating smiled and shook his head as he said, "I have an army protecting me. Why would I need you?"
Red Lotus's red lips curled up slightly. Her voice was gentle as she said, "How can it be the same!?"
"Young Master, it's getting late. Let's eat and rest. You haven't slept well these days."
Li Huating shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Speed is important in war. Besides, Drizzle, Storm, and Thunderwood won't last long!"
Red Lotus looked up at Li Huating's handsome face, and her eyes flashed with tenderness.
"Young Master, what do you want to do after the Fenghua Empire is overthrown?"
Li Huating was stunned when he heard that. After a moment, he said softly, "Maybe I'll find a quiet place to marry a wife and live a leisurely life!"
As soon as Li Huating finished speaking, Red Lotus's body trembled slightly.
"Then, what kind of wife do you want to marry, Young Master?"
Before Li Huating could reply, Red Lotus lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Young Master's wife must be an extremely beautiful lady from a prestigious family. She must be well-educated and knowledgeable."
"Only such a woman is worthy of Young Master!"
Red Lotus waited for a long time, but she didn't hear Li Huating's reply.
She carefully raised her head and discovered that Li Huating's deep eyes were staring at her.
"Young... Young Master."
Red Lotus' voice trembled slightly, "Did Red Lotus say something wrong?"
Li Huating looked at Red Lotus and a smile appeared on his face.
"The wife I want to marry..."
"She has a name, Red Lotus!"
Boom!
Li Huating's voice fell into Red Lotus's heart, creating ripples.
Red Lotus's face was flushed red, and her small head was dizzy, as if she was drunk.
"Young Master..."
"Red Lotus still has some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!"
As Ru Rou's soft voice fell, Red Lotus suddenly turned around and excitedly ran out of the tent.
Li Huating retracted his gaze from Red Lotus's back and lowered his head to look at the book on the table once again.
"Sima Tingfeng, what will your choice be?"
Shield Mountain City.
The Fenghua Empire was the final barrier in front of the north region.
Sima Tingfeng's burly figure stood on the city wall.
Raising his head to look at the slowly approaching army, Sima Tingfeng's dark face did not have the slightest expression.
Boom!
Beiliang City's army stopped in front of Shield Mountain City.
Li Huating walked out of the army formation and looked up at Sima Tingfeng on the city wall. He silently watched for a while.
The wind whistled past.
The battlefield was silent.
It was like the calm before a storm!
The sun set and the moon rose. The Beiliang City army was stationed ten miles away from Shield Mountain City.
Waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow, it would be the day of the battle between the two armies!
Dark clouds covered the moon, and the night sky was like ink.
The tightly shut city gates of Shield Mountain City opened slightly.
A tall and sturdy figure flashed out of Shield Mountain City and rushed towards the camp of Beiliang City.
Within Beiliang City's military tent.
The candlelight lit up the tent. Li Huating's figure sat behind the table, holding a book in his hand and reading it with relish.
"Since you're here, come in!"
Li Huating's clear voice rang out.
After a while, the curtain of the tent was lifted.
"You knew I would come?"
The burly figure sat in front of Li Huating and lifted the cloak on his head.
"General Sima, I've long heard of your great name!"
Li Huating put down the book in his hand and raised his head to look at the man in front of him. A smile appeared on his handsome face.
Sima Tingfeng's gaze swept across the book on the table, and his dark complexion slightly changed.
Taking a deep breath, Sima Tingfeng stared blankly at the man in front of him and sighed after a long time.
"Long time no see..."
Li Huating's brows raised when he heard this, and his dark eyes were like deep pools.
"General Sima, have you seen me before?"
Sima Tingfeng shook his head.
Li Huating was stunned, but then he asked in confusion, "Then why did you say it's been so long?"
Sima Tingfeng looked deeply at Li Huating and said in a deep voice, "Because the City Lord looks very similar to her!"
Li Huating was silent for a long time before he said, "My mother?"
Sima Tingfeng nodded. "That's right. The City Lord's features are exactly the same as Madam Li's!"
The scroll in Li Huating's hand tightened slightly before he said, "The City Lord's features are exactly the same as Madam Li's!" "Yes."
In the tent, the candlelight flickered, shaking the shadow behind Sima Tingfeng.
"Although the Fenghua Empire is decaying, it's not the time for it to collapse!"
Sima Tingfeng's deep voice sounded in the tent, "Shield Mountain City is the last barrier of the weathered Empire."
"As long as we break through Shield Mountain City, the army of Beiliang City will march straight into the imperial palace!"
Staring deeply at Li Huating, Sima Tingfeng said in a deep voice, "If Shield Mountain City is not broken, we only need to hold on for a few months before this rebellion is destroyed!"
Sima Tingfeng stopped speaking, and the tent fell silent.
Only the crackling sound of candles being lit could be heard.
Li Huating's deep eyes flashed with a strange light, and a smile appeared on his face.
"What about General Sima's choice?"
"Should we defend Shield Mountain City, or should we push the Fenghua Empire?"
"Haha... hahahah..."
Sima Tingfeng's deep laughter sounded from within the tent.
Suddenly standing up, Sima Tingfeng's back faced Li Huating, and his voice was steady like a mountain rock that would not move for ten thousand years.
"I, Sima Tingfeng, the Kingdom Protector General of Fenghua!"
"I have spent my entire life on the battlefield and have made outstanding contributions to the Fenghua Empire!"
"Defend the city? Abandoned the city?"
Sima Tingfeng sneered. Heh! Is it hard to choose?"
Sima Tingfeng strode out of Li Huating's tent and covered himself in a cloak, and his robust figure vanished into the darkness.
Huala...
The wind blew against the curtain of the tent. Sima Tingfeng's weak voice drifted into Li Huating's ears along with the wind.
"My choice..."
"Of course it's to push at the back of Fenghua Empire!"
