My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Meng Qi gave Ge Xiaoqing a warning look, and Kuang Xingquan said calmly: "This is the territory of Gao Country. It won't hurt for us to be cautious."

"I think Zong Yanli is clearly trying to put on airs and claim the credit." Ge Xiaoqing curled her lips in disdain.

"If you have the ability to get the city defense map in a short time, why not give this credit to you?" Although Kuang Xingquan has not been completely convinced by Zong Yanli as the team leader, he has no bad feelings towards Zong Yanli. Not to mention that this was said by outsiders, he would naturally defend him.

"Say less." Lu Hao frowned and tried to dissuade him.

Ge Xiaoqing snorted in dissatisfaction, stood up and went into the house to sleep.

Lu Hao's face looked grim. After all, Ge Xiaoqing was his accomplice, but they never listened to him, their leader.

Lu Hao also knew that he was transferred here, and he just thought that they would get along well as they spent more time together in the future.

But he didn't expect that this first time they went on a mission together would embarrass him like this.

"Hey, what was our leader like when he was in the recruit camp?" Monkie was too lazy to pay attention to Ge Xiaoqing and the others, so he went up to Lu Hao and asked curiously.

"We didn't see each other much in the recruit camp..." Lu Hao felt a little embarrassed. He and Zong Yanli were not really friends. They were not even familiar with each other. They had only met a few times.

"But he is quite good at fighting." Lu Hao recalled the battle to provide reinforcements, when Zong Yanli fought against a hundred enemies alone, and said seriously.

Monk and his companions had practiced with Zong Yanli to some extent, but they had never fought with real swords and guns. They didn't know much about Zong Yanli, they just thought he was quite skilled.

I originally thought that I could hear some jokes about my leader from Lu Hao, but I didn't expect to learn from Lu Hao that my leader was just a person who trained and ate according to the routine in the recruit camp. He didn't associate with others or get close to others. He often stayed alone to practice swordsmanship.

Monk was a little confused after listening to this. It was obvious that Zong Yanli had taken good care of them when he came to their tent. How could he not be the unfriendly person as Lu Hao described?

Outside the house, Zong Yanli was holding a map and looking at it carefully. Wen Nian leaned against the pillar, looked down at Zong Yanli's cautious appearance, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said nothing.

The next morning, Wang Yi really came to the door and told them that the princess had arrived in Dunkou City and asked them to go and meet Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"I've been waiting for so many days, and it's finally here!" Zong Yanli's eyebrows were full of joy, and he said as if he couldn't wait to go home quickly: "General, wait a moment, I'll go pack up the things I bought!"

"Okay, okay." Wang Yi naturally felt that what Zong Yanli was talking about was the gift he was going to bring back for his sister.

When Zong Yanli came out holding a large box, Wang Yi was still stunned and asked in confusion, "So many?"

Zong Yanli laughed and said, "There are other things that the brothers bought for their sisters at home. General, take a look."

Zong Yanli took the initiative to open the box and wanted Wang Yi to have a look. However, he was a little unstable holding the box with one hand, and the box opened a little. Wang Yi saw the shuttlecock and small windmill inside, and vaguely saw some floral cloth.

Wang Yi had made that little toy himself, so he recognized it at a glance.

Wang Yi looked at Zong Yanli, who looked like he was going to put down the box and open some things for him to see. Then he thought that the young man would probably die soon, and waved his hand with mixed feelings: "Don't keep the princess waiting for too long, go quickly."

"Oh." Zong Yanli hugged the box tightly in his arms, nodded twice, and quickly followed Wang Yi.

Since they were meeting the princess, they were naturally not allowed to bring weapons in.

Zong Yanli looked at the heavily guarded courtyard in front of him, glanced at the carriage beside him, and the guards at the door stopped them. Zong Yanli turned around and handed the box to Wen Nian, and said to Wang Yi: "Let them wait outside, I will go in to see the princess."

"They are all rough people. It would be disrespectful if they disturbed the princess." Zong Yanli said as he straightened his clothes and took out the documents and the imperial edict of marriage in a serious manner.

"Please lead the way, General." Zong Yanli looked up at the guard in front of him and said.

The guard glanced at Zong Yanli with a cold look, then glanced at Wen Nian and others behind Zong Yanli, looked at the box and turned to ask Wang Yi with his eyes.

Wang Yi nodded imperceptibly, probably to say that there was nothing wrong with the box.

The guard then retracted his gaze, turned around and said, "Come with me."

Zong Yanli looked a little nervous, and followed in carefully with his head lowered. From the corner of his eye, he saw the guards along the way and silently counted the number of people in his mind.

Following all the way to the door of the room, the guard bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, the special envoy of Wu State is here to pick up the bride and request to see Your Highness!"

After a pause of about half a while, Zong Yanli heard a woman's voice coming from inside the house: "You're welcome."

"Yes." The guard stood up and said to Zong Yanli, "The princess lets you in."

Zong Yanli bowed in response and walked in cautiously.

There was a white screen in the room, and the figure of a woman sitting behind the screen could be vaguely seen.

Zong Yanli knelt down, held up the document and said in a loud voice: "I have been ordered to come and welcome the princess into the pass. This is the imperial decree and the general's document! Please take a look, princess!"

The figure behind the barrier moved, then sat up straight again. Then the woman's words were heard: "Please ask the special envoy to present the document."

"A humble man like me dare not offend the princess." Zong Yanli spoke in fear, kneeling with his head down, not daring to look up.

"..."

"Cai Ling, go take it." A girl dressed as a maid walked out from behind the barrier. Even though she appeared to be extremely calm, when she stretched out her hand to take the document, Zong Yanli still saw her trembling fingertips.

Almost in an instant, Zong Yanli suddenly jumped up and kicked over the barrier in front of him, revealing the panic-stricken Princess Gao with tears in her eyes behind the screen.

Behind the chair where the princess was sitting, the man with the knife was obviously shocked by this sudden change.

Zong Yanli reacted extremely quickly, as if he had known that there was someone hiding behind the chair. He pulled out a dagger from the imperial edict in his hand and threw it directly, instantly piercing the throat of the man behind the chair.

"Ah——!" The woman's scream suddenly startled the people outside.

Zong Yanli grabbed the delicate wrist of the beautiful woman in front of him and said, "Princess Gao?"

The woman seemed to be frightened. She opened her mouth but couldn't speak for a while.

Zong Yanli didn't seem to need to go any closer to confirm, and pulled her towards him. The door was instantly broken, and countless men in black holding swords jumped in from the windows, and without saying a word, they slashed towards Zong Yanli and Princess Gao.

Zong Yanli held the princess with one hand while having to deal with many swords at the other.

Under this chaotic sword attack, the maid suddenly rushed towards the tip of the sword.
