"I don't know him." Zong Yanli raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't like him. He looks better than me, and I'm jealous."

"..."

When Zong Yanli said this, everyone in the tent was dumbfounded.

Jie Hu even looked Zong Yanli up and down and commented sharply: "Captain, you are not bad either. Except that you are a little short, your muscles are not big enough, and you are a little effeminate, how else are you not better than that guy?"

Zong Yanli: “…” Thank you so much.

For a man, it's almost like criticizing her to the point of being completely useless.

Fortunately, she is a woman.

Zong Yanli glared at Li Hu with dangerous eyes. Looking at the way he clenched his fists, it seemed as if he was going to teach him a lesson in the next second.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Huo Wenqi immediately pulled Jie Hu away and changed the subject by laughing at Zong Yanli.

But I was secretly complaining in my heart, how could a grown man imitate a woman and compare appearance?

After the Gao Kingdom surrendered, the soldiers had no battles to fight and had to train all day long.

"The imperial edict from the royal city has been delivered, ordering General Chen to escort Princess Gao to the capital." The transfer order came unexpectedly. When Zong Yanli heard the news, he was called to the main tent by Zong Yanhongjing.

"The Princess of Gao will be entering the country soon, so we need to dispatch troops to welcome her." Chen Zhengxin knew that he had to leave, so he didn't bother to be polite with Zong Yanhongjing. He patted Zong Yanhongjing on the shoulder and said, "Old brother, we have been together for many years, through thick and thin."

"This Pingnan Camp will be handed over to you in the future." Chen Zhengxin said to Zong Yanhongjing, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. In the current situation, it may not be easy to be in this position."

"The position of the crown prince is in jeopardy, and the other crown princes are like wolves surrounding him, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

Chen Zhengxin sighed and said helplessly, "My Chen family may not be able to have a good ending if we get involved in this. It will be difficult for me to meet Brother Zong Yan again when I return to Beijing this time."

He stared at Zong Yanhongjing with a serious expression and said, "I have asked someone to recommend you to take over my position. I believe the appointment letter should be delivered soon."

Chen Zhengxin continued to say to Zong Yanhongjing: "You don't have to think about speaking for me. The Chen family is in a hopeless situation. Don't sacrifice your future. Your eldest son is brave and fearless and has a bright future. Don't lose this great advantage."

Chen Zhengxin's words made Zong Yanhongjing's eyes suddenly redden: "General!"

"This time, let your eldest son Zong Yanli go to pick up the bride." Chen Zhengxin said in a somewhat lecturing tone: "I know your temper. I don't want Zong Yanli to take shortcuts by relying on his connections."

"But you should also think about it carefully. He is your son." Chen Zhengxin said, putting his hands behind his back, "If I had such an outstanding child, I would have devoted all my energy to nurturing him. Why would I just throw him out like a dog and let him learn on his own?"

Zong Yanhongjing's face turned red after being scolded by Chen Zhengxin. He lowered his head and kept silent.

Chen Zhengxin also had an outstanding child, but unfortunately he was too weak to join the army and died of a fever when he was less than twenty years old.

The other children were all of mediocre talent, and the only daughter entered the palace as a concubine, who is now the Empress Xianfei.

Zong Yanli remembered very clearly that Concubine Xian had two miscarriages in a row and failed to give birth to a prince, which made the emperor dislike her and lose her favor. Later, she colluded with Prince Shou and had an end...

General Chen returned to Beijing this time because of this matter, but Chen Zhengxin is not aware of it yet.

Zong Yanli waited outside for a long time before being called in. There were only Chen Zhengxin and Zong Yanhongjing in the camp.

"Zong Yanli greets the general." She bowed respectfully.

Chen Zhengxin waved his hand, motioning for Zong Yanli to stand up, and then said, "This general would like to appoint you to lead the wedding procession and personally escort Princess Gao to Guanzhong to ensure that the marriage between the two countries proceeds smoothly."

Chen Zhengxin said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back: "This journey is dangerous, we need to pass through the border and enter the territory of Gaoguo."

"Many people in Gao country intend to destroy the marriage, and even kill the princess of Gao country." Chen Zhengxin turned to Zong Yanli and said, "This general needs a trustworthy and alert person to take charge of this matter. Are you willing?"

"It is my honor to be able to share the worries of the general!"

"Good good!"

Chen Zhengxin agreed with a big laugh, looked at Zong Yanli in front of him, nodded and said: "Then this general will wait for your good news in Pingnan Camp."

Escorting the Princess of Gao State into the country was not an easy task, as the civil unrest in Gao State was far more serious than they had imagined.

The Lord of Gao State was lustful and dissolute, and he had countless illegitimate children. Those children would have been fine, but in such an environment, several princes grew up, each of them was extremely ambitious and acted on their own, but now they have actually killed their father and declared themselves king.

It was not easy for Princess Gao to get out of such a den of tigers and wolves, but the young wolf king did not want the two countries to marry so easily.

In his previous life, Zong Yanli also went out of the country as a guard to welcome the Princess of Gao State, and now he is just embarking on the same journey.

The only difference is that the brothers following her have changed.

Except for the four accomplices under her command, the other six were all dispatched by the general. Zong Yanli did not expect that her second meeting with Duan Yuanqing would come so soon.

"Zong Yanli, long time no see!" The person who led Duan Yuanqing here was none other than Lu Hao from the recruit camp.

If the war had not come too quickly in the recruit camp, there would have been a fight between Zong Yanli and Lu Hao.

There was quite a dispute over the strongest fighting force in the recruit camp, but unfortunately the war came too quickly and they went their separate ways without much interaction. What Zong Yanli did not expect was that Lu Hao also came to the right camp, and Duan Yuanqing became his accomplice.

In the previous life, Zong Yanli had only Meng Qi and four others under his command. As for the missing person, General Yang told her to choose one herself. She originally wanted to choose Bai Xiuyun, but later she met Duan Yuanqing and chose him to join the account.

Now that Zong Yanli wanted Wen Nian from the very beginning, Duan Yuanqing was naturally assigned to other people.

The two teams, with a total of twelve people, set out to Gaoguo to pick up the princess of Gaoguo and bring her into the country.

Except for Zong Yanli, almost everyone thought that this was just a relaxing job and a formality.

The guard of Kanshang Pass handed Zong Yanli the imperial decree to pick up the bride, as well as the certificate for Gaoguo to enter the pass. He looked at Zong Yanli with a serious face and said, "You only need to bring the princess of Gaoguo out of Gaoguo, and our army will send troops to welcome her."

"Understood." Zong Yanli nodded his head and responded, putting all the things close to him.

The guard then turned around and told his men to let them go. Several people brought horses and mounted their horses, then they left Kanshang Pass and headed towards Gaoguo.

After years of war with the Gao Kingdom, Monk and his companions probably never imagined that one day they would be able to step into the Gao Kingdom's territory so boldly. They felt very complicated for a moment.

Zong Yanli stood in front of the stone tablet for a long time, with the stone tablet as the boundary. There seemed to be blood stains in the mud and sand...
