"Your Highness, are you kidding?"

In the city wall outside Aomen Pass, Tao Hao looked at Liu Li helplessly, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes squeezed together.

Of course he had heard of Liu Li. He was not only the son of Biao Long, but also a good friend of his youngest son. Although he was surprised that Tao An could make a friend like Long Si, he did not expect that the first thing the other party said was to borrow troops. This made him almost spit out the tea he had drunk.

Ignoring Tao Hao's flustered movements, Liu Li nodded and said seriously: "Uncle Tao, I'm not kidding. If I want to go to Chilei now, I can only rely on you."

"I don't deserve it. Just call me Lord Tao." Hearing Liu Li calling him "Uncle Tao", Tao He quickly waved his hand to refuse. He couldn't accept such a great honor from Long Si. It would be more comfortable for him to call each other by their titles.

"Alright, Lord Tao." Liu Li sighed. He didn't expect that his emotional appeal would fail one day. However, he was not discouraged. Instead, he continued, "Lord Tao, I have a feeling that the siege of Chilei this time is unusual. If we don't make plans early, we may miss the opportunity to fight."

"..." Tao Hao looked helpless and sighed, "I can understand your concern, but Changyuan is the foundation of Zhendan. Even if Chilei falls, Aomen Pass must ensure sufficient troops."

Liu Li nodded in agreement: "Master Tao is right."

"I will not hide it from you, Your Highness..." Tao Hao knocked on the table and said leisurely, "After the two recent Chaos invasions, the cities in northern Zhendan are basically like frightened birds, and dare not mobilize too many troops... This time, in order to fully support the battle of Chilei, I have sent reinforcements to Longmen Pass and Aomen Pass respectively, and even mobilized Po Mei's Tianzhou Fleet to participate in the defense. Basically, the whole army has been mobilized..."

"Alas." Liu Li sighed after hearing this, and a trace of admiration rose for the gray-haired Tao He. He immediately stood up and bowed, saying seriously, "Master Tao is very righteous, and I admire him very much. I will remember the kindness of the Po Mei Army in my heart and will never forget it."

Seeing this, Tao Hao hurriedly helped Liu Li up, with a look of admiration in his eyes: "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. The commander-in-chief has spared no effort to protect Changyuan for a thousand years without asking for anything in return... How can we have the face to harbor selfish thoughts... It is our honor to be able to guard Changyuan, let alone a favor... Please get up quickly, don't frustrate me..."

"Master Tao..." Seeing Tao Hao's serious face, Liu Li was deeply moved.

"Hmm?" Tao Hao smiled and raised his eyebrows. Liu Li then let go of his hands, straightened up, took a long breath, and apologized: "I took it for granted. I hope Master Tao will not bear it in mind."

"Haha, no problem." Tao He shook his head and chuckled to show his understanding. At the same time, he liked Liu Li very much for being able to control himself. Compared with his two sons, Liu Li was much worse.

Although Tao Lin is excellent, he is always stubborn and insists on doing things to the end. Even if he is wrong, he will pretend that he is not wrong.

Tao An is too indecisive and always makes mistakes of hesitation at critical moments, making it difficult for him to achieve great things.

Tao He wanted someone with a personality like Liu Li. Fortunately, Tao An had already made friends with her, so he could learn from Liu Li.

Although they came to nothing, Liu Li was not angry. It was reasonable for them not to send troops. After all, Changyuan was the bottom line and there could not be any hidden dangers.

"Then I'll leave now. Sorry to bother Lord Tao." Liu Li bowed and prepared to leave. Since Tao Hao could not borrow soldiers, he could only find other ways. If it didn't work, he could go to Longmen Pass to find Wei Ping, or wait for Miaoying's team to pass Aomen Pass, and then find an opportunity to go to Chilei.

Tao He returned the salute, and sighed again as he looked at Liu Li's straight back. An idea came to his mind, and he called out to Liu Li, "Your Highness, please stay!"

"What's wrong?" Liu Li looked at Tao He curiously.

The latter smiled indifferently, but his eyes drifted away quietly, and he said faintly: "The battle in Chilei is urgent recently. In order to prevent the possible invasion of Chaos, the scout cavalry will go to a slightly farther place... At midnight tonight, a cavalry will go to the mountain pass outside Chilei for scout, and will not return until dawn... The night outside Changyuan is not peaceful. In order to ensure safety, it is normal for the scouts to have one or two more people occasionally..."

Hearing Tao He's words, Liu Li reacted instantly. He looked at Tao He with great joy and bowed to him, saying in a loud voice, "Thank you, Master Tao!"

Tao He pretended to cough lightly and said, "It's just routine work. Your Highness, please go to bed early and don't get up at midnight..."

"Hehe, of course, of course. Thank you Lord Tao for your concern. I will definitely have a good sleep." Liu Li cooperated with Tao He's performance, and everything was said without words.

"Then I wish Your Highness a sweet dream." Tao He bowed in return. Liu Li nodded and quickly walked out of the room.

After Liu Li left, Tao He put away the affectation on his face. He took a sip of the hot tea and sighed softly, "I hope everything goes well, Your Highness."

the other side.

Seeing Liu Li walk out of the room, the three people who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly surrounded her.

"How is it going? Did you borrow the soldiers?" Seeing Liu Li's happy face, Zhao Song was frightened and asked hurriedly.

After hearing this, Liu Li shook her head and said with a smile: "No."

The three of them pursed their lips together, not knowing what to say for a moment. Liu Li was so happy even though he didn't get to borrow soldiers. Was he crazy?

"It seems that Lord Tao promised something to the young master?" Zu Ju was the first to react. Based on her understanding of Liu Li, it was impossible for her to smile after the failure of her plan. Most likely, she got help from other people.

"As expected of great aunt." Liu Li sighed, and then told the three of them Tao He's method.

Zhao Song pondered for a moment and exclaimed: "It's really good!"

Zu Ju agreed and said, "It just so happens that they will return at dawn. We can go to Chilei at dawn. One day is enough."

Hearing the heated discussion among the three, Wei Junxiu quickly interrupted and asked, "What about me? Where should I go?"

The three of them then discovered the presence of Wei Junxiu, and were immediately plunged into distress again.

"Where else can you go? Go back to Longmen Pass to find your father." Liu Li was too lazy to take her with him and planned to let her leave immediately. This was not a game of house, and it would be too difficult to take care of her alone.

Zhao Song nodded calmly after hearing this, and Zu Ju did not object. Wei Junxiu was immediately unhappy after seeing this, and looked at Liu Li and said in a deep voice: "I want to go too."

"Little ancestor, don't make trouble this time." Liu Li rolled his eyes.

"Why, then you can go, but I can't?" Wei Junxiu naturally refused and retorted coldly, "I am a legitimate Dragonborn Xiuyanqing, why can't I go?"

Liu Li sneered: "Oh, you are pretending, what kind of Feng Shui skills have you learned? Let me, your uncle, see the world."

"I have already learned the Ink Robe Technique, Shadow Mist Technique, and Gentle Wind Technique!"
