Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 649: The Little Paper Ball!

In the tent, Cao Yin asked Gao Chi to carefully recount the recent battle situation. After listening, Cao Yin fell into contemplation.

He needed to analyze the current situation.

A moment later, he suddenly slammed the table: "Deploy defenses, quickly deploy defenses!"

Gao Chi didn’t understand why he was so eager to deploy defenses, but he still ordered it to be done.

"Big brother, what’s really going on? We just repelled the enemy forces, shouldn’t we let the soldiers rest well?"

Gao Chi felt that making the soldiers too exhausted was not a good thing.

But Cao Yin said seriously: "The enemy is probably using a blinding technique! Their purpose is to make you let down your guard! If they launch a surprise attack at midnight, aren’t you being lax, creating an opportunity for the enemy to exploit?"

Gao Chi was stunned, then suddenly slapped his forehead: "Ah, yes! I didn’t even think of that, I’m ashamed..."

Gao Chi felt a bit embarrassed, in terms of experience and control over the battle situation, he was inferior to Cao Yin.

"Maternal Grandfather!"

At this point, Cao Anxing came in from outside, along with Long Yue.

Cao Anxing was known to Gao Chi, so as soon as he entered, Gao Chi greeted him with a call of "Anxian Nephew," then his eyes fell on Long Yue, slightly surprised: "Who is this...?"

Long Yue was the Princess Consort Mu, her affairs were known by everyone in Shengjing City, but Gao Chi was far at the border, with blocked information, so naturally he didn’t know.

However, Cao Yin was very careful, because currently it is publicly claimed that the Princess Consort Mu has been assassinated, if suddenly another Princess Consort Mu appeared, how could the Supreme Emperor explain to the public?

So for the sake of his good friend, Cao Yin could only hide Long Yue’s identity.

"Her? Haha, she’s just a small girl from my family, I brought her out this time to see the world!"

Cao Yin laughed heartily, giving a vague answer.

Gao Chi naturally believed him and thought nothing of it, only smiled and greeted Long Yue.

Long Yue smiled and returned the gesture, then asked Cao Yin: "Maternal Grandfather, why suddenly deploy defenses? Did the enemy attack again?"

"No, it was just that Maternal Grandfather thought it might be the enemy’s trick. Think about it, if the enemy wanted to attack the city, why only send fifty thousand troops? Normally, that’s just probing, but why does the enemy seem reckless?"

Long Yue thought for a moment and said: "Is it setting up a false front?"

"Yes, the enemy first fiercely attacked the city walls, then seeing our morale high and their heavy casualties, they quickly retreated, making us think their morale broke and battle strength weakened, little knowing it’s just a strategy to deliver a fatal blow when we relax!"

"Grandfather’s analysis is reasonable, no wonder he’s a renowned general!"

Cao Anxing timely praised Cao Yin with a sentence, Cao Yin snorted lightly, with a bit of pride.

"Big brother, after your journey here in the dust, quickly go rest! The rest, what you’ve instructed me to do, I’ll handle it well, you can be assured!"

Cao Yin yawned and felt a bit tired, so he said: "Alright, I’ll go rest first, you arrange things properly!"

"Okay, big brother!"

Long Yue and Cao Anxing were both settled down, the frontier was desolate and sparsely populated, this place was harshly cold. Cao Anxing came to Long Yue’s tent, wanting to ask her a few things.

"Cousin, this frontier is not a good place, why do you insist on coming here?"

Long Yue laid out a map, looking at the terrain on it, feeling a bit helpless: "Cousin, this is the eighth time you’ve asked me on this journey!"

Cao Anxing was slightly embarrassed: "Really?"

He really hadn’t realized.

Long Yue nodded in frustration: "Yes, I’m particularly sensitive to numbers, I’m one hundred percent sure this is the eighth time!"

"..."

So their conversation ended in awkwardness.

After Cao Anxing left, Long Yue stared at the map in front of her, sinking into thought.

Indeed, why did she insist on coming to the border?

Wasn’t staying in the Xinan Cao Mansion good enough, or going to Shengjing to live, being with Rui’er better, why come to the border?

But for some reason, the thought just emerged in Long Yue’s mind, she had to come to the border, as if not coming, she would miss something.

But what would she miss? That was unknown.

With this doubt, Long Yue gradually fell into sleep.

It was already late at night, past the third watch, and the tents here were silent, while on the other side, the Liang Army Camp.

The main camp here was brightly lit, without any intent to sleep.

Li Qingmu, Lu Zhi, and several other commanders were all present, below was a small soldier reporting the situation.

As the soldier reported, Li Qingmu’s expression grew more grim and colder.

"Bam!"

He punched the table in anger!

"That old scoundrel Cao Yin! He sure came at the right time, not sooner or later, but exactly now? What’s worse, he saw through my plan? No wonder he’s a veteran of the battlefield, with sharp insight, good, very good!"

Li Qingmu’s voice was clear and cold, laden with anger, yet unknowingly, inside, he was immensely pleased!

Finally, you arrived!

Thought I’d break a few more checkpoints before reaching, didn’t expect such obliging?So... Yue’er, did she come along too?

In the time spent in the Daliang Palace, besides practicing martial arts with You Su, Li Qingmu acquired another skill, acting!

At this moment, he portrayed his anger vividly, leaving Lu Zhi without any flaws to see, truly believing he was fuming over the plan being disrupted.

However, Lu Zhi was still satisfied with Li Qingmu.

As the saying goes, "We can plan, but success is up to fate," many times, despite effort, there might not be results.

"Eldest Young Master, this event counts as an accident, please don’t be upset, for anger harms health!"

Li Qingmu seemed to emerge from anger at this point and said with a pained expression: "Unfortunately, those soldiers sacrificed for this!"

"Eldest Young Master, didn’t you say before, not to judge heroes by momentary success or failure, this time Cao Yin timely arrived to deploy defenses, though we can’t conduct the night raid anymore, at least we’ve shown the Zhou Army how formidable the Daliang warriors are!"

Li Qingmu nodded, then ordered: "Since the enemy is fully defended, let’s pause and let the soldiers rest well and recuperate!"

"Yes!"

This side of the meeting concluded, Lu Zhi naturally wouldn’t disturb Li Qingmu’s rest, so he too left, the camp now sunk into silence.

Li Qingmu took one last look at the map, then extinguished the lamp to sleep.

"Coo coo!"

"Coo coo!"

The sound of a cuckoo bird emerged from a corner of the tent, Li Qingmu suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards the direction of the tent’s window, there heavy curtains obscured, preventing view outside.

At this moment, the curtains were lifted by someone, and a small paper ball was thrown in.

Li Qingmu considered for a moment, then stepped forward to pick up the small paper ball that had rolled to the ground, opened it for a glance, instantly his body froze!

Li Qingmu tightly held the small paper ball, then swiftly burned it with the candle flame, and returned to lie on the bed.
