Uncle San smiled and said, "Although you are very smart, you lack actual combat experience and are just talking about war on paper. When it comes to marching and fighting, our Cui family is still the best."

"Yes, sir, please trust us." The sixth brother also smiled.

"We must not take it lightly." Li Yaozhi frowned slightly, "If it is really a trap, our army will suffer heavy losses."

Cui Ci'an hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you think, Princess?"

Today, the development of King Wen's rebellion is completely different from that in his previous life. Xiao Yurong cannot rely on the advantage of rebirth and can only rely on his own judgment.

After Xiao Yurong thought deeply, he said, "I think Shao Yan is right. This trip is too risky."

"Commander, you have to think about this carefully. If we miss this opportunity, it will be too late when King Wen replenishes his troops here!" A group of people below advised.

After thinking for a long time, Cui Ci'an finally stood up and said, "Opportunity is rare and will never come again."

He turned to Xiao Yurong and said, "Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Let's attack."

"Commander..." Xiao Yurong frowned.

Cui Ci'an said: "Princess, don't worry. We will only take Cui's army with us this time. Princess and the imperial army can stay in the camp and wait and see what happens."

He said firmly: "All losses will be borne by Cui's army, and all responsibilities will be borne by Cui alone."

Having said this, no one is allowed to comment.

If we continue talking, it will shake the morale of the troops.

Xiao Yurong didn't know the predetermined outcome. Seeing Cui Ci'an's appearance, he could only choose to trust the experienced Cui family army.

She looked at Li Yaozhi beside her. Li Yaozhi sighed lightly and looked normal.

Walking out of the tent, he was greeted by a biting cold wind. The itchiness in his throat prompted Xiao Yurong to cover his mouth and cough.

"Cough, cough, cough!" She coughed so hard that her breathing became rapid and her head felt dizzy.

Li Yaozhi supported her and said worriedly, "Your Highness, it's windy outside, let's go back to the tent quickly."

Li Yaozhi half embraced Xiao Yurong in his arms, and used his body and cloak to shield Xiao Yurong from most of the wind and snow.

Cui Ci Ning walked out of the tent, frowning, "Why are you still so sick?"

"Your Highness has been weak since childhood, so the army is naturally not as good as the palace." Li Yao stopped talking here.

Cui Ci Ning stood beside Xiao Yurong, shielding her from the oncoming wind and snow, "I'll escort her back, let's go."

The journey was not long, and we finally arrived at a tent that was sheltered from the wind and snow. There was a charcoal fire at all times, which made us feel much warmer.

Xiao Yurong untied his cloak, and Li Yaozhi took it and hung it aside.

"I'll go get the medicine." Li Yaozhi said.

Cui Ci Ning looked at his back, and he was indeed a beautiful and graceful man with golden and jade-like appearance.

Cui Ci Ning sat next to Xiao Yurong and immediately stood up.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Cui Qining took off his cloak and said, "I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and get even sicker."

"That won't happen." Xiao Yurong said, "The military is busy with affairs, and I'm sick. This time I can only wait here, and I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you."

"How could that be?" Cui Qining shook his head. "Don't worry, King Wen's stubborn resistance is nothing but a pile of bones in a grave. We will definitely win this battle."

Xiao Yurong shook his head. "You are talking nonsense again. Stop it. You must be careful no matter what. You know that a proud army will be defeated."

Cui Ci Ning did not refute, but nodded obediently, "I understand."

Xiao Yurong was ill and afraid of the cold. The charcoal fire in the tent was burning brightly. Cui Qining was very angry and started sweating after a while.

Xiao Yurong paused, "Are you hot? If you are, take off your coat. Don't catch a cold. Sit closer to the charcoal fire."

Cui Ci Ning hesitated for a moment, but still took off his outer and inner garments and folded them neatly aside.

It seems that this is a habit that has been trained since childhood.

He has firm muscles and smooth lines, and his every move reveals youthful spirit and wildness, unruly yet bright.

After taking off her clothes, Cui Ci Ning felt shy and stood there awkwardly for a long time.

Xiao Yurong gave him a look, motioning him to sit down.

Cui Ci Ning sat down and his eyes began to wander. He tried to find a topic to talk about dryly, "You, you... you are really good at shooting."

"Ah?" Xiao Yurong was puzzled. He hadn't caught up with his train of thought yet, but he still followed his topic. "Not bad, I'm in the top three in Yujing."

That's not modesty at all.

After all, as Xiao Yurong said, there are many talented people in Yujing, but there are only a few of this level.

Cui Ci Ning didn't think anything was wrong, "Were all your martial arts skills taught to you by the master in the palace?"

"No, I learned martial arts from my teacher and uncle." Xiao Yurong said, "My father and my brothers would also teach me sometimes."

Liu Pinjue and Huo Zhao? They were both well-known figures in Chule. Cui Ci Ning was not very familiar with them, but he knew them.

"My teacher said that I was weak and was more suitable for bows and arrows than swords and spears. That's why I learned archery." Xiao Yurong looked at Cui Qining, "I like the bow you gave me very much."

Cui Ci Ning was immediately delighted, "That's good as long as you like it! That's good as long as you like it!"

Xiao Yurong couldn't help but laugh, and after laughing, he started coughing: "Cough cough cough!"

Cui Ci Ning's expression changed again and he handed her a glass of water. "Slow down."

Xiao Yurong drank the water, and Cui Ci Ning held Xiao Yurong's hands in his palms. Even though it was cold and the north wind was strong, his hands were still warm.

He frowned, "Your hands are so cold."

Xiao Yurong pulled twice but failed to pull it out. "It's cold, so my hands are naturally cold too."

Cui Ci Ning said seriously: "A heater, animal skins, anything is fine. I'll have someone bring them to you later to warm you up."

"Which of these things don't I have?" Xiao Yurong said, "Compared to these, you might as well take care of yourself."

Cui Ci Ning smiled brightly, "My martial arts are so strong that there are only a few people in the whole Chu Le who can fight with me. You don't have to worry about me. I will find a few trustworthy people to protect you later."

Xiao Yurong held his hand in return, "No, I'm still worried. Shao Yan is right. I'm afraid this loophole is really a plan by King Wen. You must be extremely careful and don't rush too deep into the formation."

Cui Ci Ning nodded, "Okay, I promise you, I will come back safely."

"I'll be waiting for you to come back here. You must be fine. Do you understand? Don't be missing any limbs by then." Xiao Yurong instructed.

"I understand, Zhaoyang, don't worry." Cui Ci Ning smiled.

Seeing Cui Ci Ning's appearance and knowing that the troops were about to be dispatched, Xiao Yurong could not say anything more, otherwise it would disrupt the morale of the army.

She sighed, still feeling vaguely uneasy in her heart, and could only repeatedly remind Cui Ci Ning to be careful.

Perhaps because he could see that Xiao Yurong was worried, Cui Ci Ning tried every means to make her happy.

Cui Ci Ning said: "When this battle is over, you must come to Yinzhou if you have the chance."

"Yinzhou?" Xiao Yurong raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Yinzhou is great." Cui Ci Ning was very excited when he mentioned this. "Although Yinzhou is not as prosperous as Yujing, it is also good. In winter, the ice and snow melt away, and Yinzhou is covered with silver and white snow, which is also a wonder in the world!"

Xiao Yurong smiled and said, "Then I feel ashamed of myself. The girls in Yinzhou are chic, healthy and happy. But every winter, I always get sick, big or small."

Cui Ci Ning thought that he had brought up her sad story, and quickly said, "I didn't mean that. In fact, Yinzhou is close to the north, and it's very cold in winter! Even the men in the army can get sick!"

Seeing Xiao Yurong looking at him, he immediately expressed his loyalty: "In my eyes, you are the best in the world! What's that saying? You are this!"

After searching his brain, he said: "Why light green or deep red? It is the best among flowers!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and continue talking." Xiao Yurong couldn't help laughing.

"I'm glad you're not angry." Seeing that she was not angry, Cui Qining smiled and said, "Everyone in Yinzhou knows me and my father and brother. When I ride my horse on the long street of Yinzhou, shop owners and passers-by will greet me."

"The uncle on the corner will give me two meat buns when he sees me, Wang Po will let me pick any flower I want, and the girls upstairs... ahem..." Cui Ci Ning suddenly stopped talking.

He looked up, and Xiao Yurong looked at him with a half-smile, "Go on?"

"Ahem!" Cui Ci Ning changed the subject guiltily, "This is boring, let's talk about something else, another one!"

Xiao Yurong brushed his hand aside, "What's so boring about this? I think it's very interesting, go on."

Even if Xiao Yurong asked him to speak, Cui Ci Ning did not dare to continue and lowered his head to pretend to be a mushroom.

If he didn't say anything, Xiao Yurong would say it for him: "Is it because the carriage is full of fruits and the arms are full of sachets? The young general is so suave and heroic, and the girls must love him."

"No, no, no, they don't love me!" Cui Qining shook his head like a rattle, "I'm a vicious monster, I've killed too many people, I'm full of murderous aura, ordinary girls don't dare to get close to me."

Xiao Yurong smiled: "So it's unusual to be able to get close?"

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Cui Qining begged for mercy: "You can't get close either, good Zhaoyang, please forgive me."

"Alright, alright, you're making it seem like I'm making things difficult for you. Let's talk about something else." Xiao Yurong then let him go.

Cui Ci Ning was as if he had been pardoned, "Say something else, say something else."

"What else? Oh, there's also wine. There's plenty of good wine in Yinzhou." Cui Ci Ning thought for a while.

"Isn't there enough wine in Yujing for you to drink?" Xiao Yurong propped up his chin. "During the time you were in the capital, whenever I got some good wine, I either sent it to my uncle or to you."

Cui Ci Ning pinched his chin and savored the taste, "Yujing's wine is not bad, but it's too refined, which makes it a little less interesting. Wine is only interesting if you drink it quickly, whether it's muddy wine or clear wine, as long as you drink it quickly, it's good."

He added secretly, "I think the young master likes Yujing's wine very much."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yurong glanced at him meaningfully.

Cui Ci Ning curled his lips, "It's meaningless."

Xiao Yurong pushed Cui Ci Ning's arm, but Cui Ci Ning did not move at all.

Xiao Yurong glared at him and pushed him again. This time Cui Ci Ning moved and pretended to fall back.

It was so fake that Xiao Yurong didn't even want to say anything about him.

"Since the wine in Yinzhou is so good, you must treat me to a drink when the time comes." Xiao Yurong said, "If I don't get drunk during this beautiful time, wouldn't it be a waste of good times?"

Cui Ci Ning laughed heartily, "Of course, come back to Yinzhou with me, and I'll treat you to as much drink as you want."

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Li Yaozhi brought the medicine over, "Your Highness, it's time to take the medicine."

Seeing Xiao Yurong finish drinking the medicine and wrinkling his face, which only got better after Li Yaozhi stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth, Cui Ci Ning smiled for a long time.

After laughing and chatting for a few more words, Cui Ci Ning returned to the military tent.

The family members are discussing Xiao Yurong's affairs.

"Should we take the princess with us on this expedition?" asked Cui's second uncle.

Uncle San was surprised and said, "Are you crazy? If her uncle knew about this, Huo and Cui would fight to the death!"

"Yes, every time Marquis Huo wrote a letter, he told us not to let the princess go into battle and to take good care of her so that she doesn't get hurt." Second Aunt said with a frown.

Cui Ci Ning walked in and said, "Zhao Yang doesn't have to go. How can she go to the battlefield when she is so sick?"

The fifth brother nodded, "Yes, the princess is so precious, it would be a shame for her to fight on the battlefield, right? It just so happens that I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, I'll go."

The sixth brother shouted, "I want to go too!"

Second Aunt patted the two on the head and said, "Stop fooling around! Xiaoliu stays behind, and only the princess is left in the army. What if the enemy attacks?"

"That's absolutely right. I'll stay and look after him. Xiaoliu is still young and lacks experience after all." Uncle San said, twirling his beard.

The second uncle patted his shoulder and laughed: "You are just being lazy!"

Cui Ci'an sighed: "So be it."

He waved towards Cui Ci Ning, "Ci Ning, come here. Father sent a letter by carrier pigeon."

Cui Qining showed a look of joy and hurried forward, "What did father say?"

"Speaking of winter, the barbarians on the border are getting restless again, and another tribe has come to harass us." Cui Ci'an looked solemn.

Cui Ci Ning immediately stopped smiling and said, "Didn't the leader of the Northern Kingdom say that we should negotiate peace?"

Cui Ci'an nodded: "Indeed, but now that we are holding him accountable, the leader of the alliance only said that he is only the leader of the 49 tribes, not the leader who controls the 49 tribes. There are many tribes, and some of them pretend to obey but secretly disobey, so he has no way to deal with it."

"Now he says there is no way?" Cui Ci Ning sneered.

Cui Ci'an closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "My father is sick."

"My father is ill?" Cui Qining's happy expression turned into a worried one. "Why is my father ill?"

"I have been suffering from a serious illness for many years, and I am devastated by the illness. In addition, I am worried about the forty-nine tribes in the north, so I fell ill." Cui Ci'an also looked worried.

Cui Ci Ning clenched his fists, "Did the doctor say anything?"

As a veteran of the battlefield, how could Cui Ci Ning not know anything about this illness? He was afraid that his life would be short.

Cui Ci'an still didn't say this fact, but patted Cui Ci'ning on the shoulder, "Keep calm, you haven't won this battle yet, remember your own identity."

Cui Ci Ning raised his face, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes, "I understand."

Cui Ci'an and his men led the troops to fight. Although Xiao Yurong was guarding the camp, he also came to see them off.

Cui Ci Ning thought she would not come, but when he saw her coming, he quickly dismounted and rushed over.

His armor was like fish scales, he wore black armor and a long sword, and his eyebrows and eyes were like torches.
