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

The commander of Dongning City was named Huang Yimin, a notorious womanizer.

He had two extremely beautiful concubines under his command, one was named Lianying and the other was named Huarui.

This man's favorite thing is to collect beauties. Now that he has two beauties, he can't wait to show off to everyone. Even people can know it without asking specifically.

"That beautiful girl named Lianying, Huang Yimin imprisoned her parents alive and tortured them in order to gain her pity, and only then did she surrender." Dong Haoqiang's eyes were filled with disgust when he said this, and he said in a deep voice: "If we can persuade this girl to help us in this siege, we may have a better chance of winning with the help of both inside and outside forces."

This matter caused quite a stir. It was said that Lianying was so beautiful that she was like a demon. She made people's hearts waver at first sight and she was even called a demon queen.

He was quite favored by Huang Yimin, who always took him with him to banquets, as if he was showing off his trophies.

Over time, the name of this enchantress became known, which is why they knew her so clearly.

"Since this girl is under his control, the chances of persuading her are slim if her parents cannot be rescued at the same time." Zong Yanli frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.

"Then it depends on the young general's own ability, haha!" Dong Haoqiang had an expression that said I am optimistic about you.

Zong Yanli smiled helplessly, bowed and thanked Dong Haoqiang: "Thank you General Dong for telling me, I will think about this matter carefully."

Dong Haoqiang waved his hand and said it was nothing, then he looked at the long sword on Zong Yanli's waist and said, "Your sword is really good, can you lend it to me to take a look?"

The weapon used by Dong Haoqiang was also a long sword. In an earlier battle, he saw Zong Yanli using this sword to chop off Wu Xian's head in mid-air, and his heart was trembling. At that time, he thought that after he came back, he must take a good look at what kind of magical weapon Zong Yanli was using!

"Of course." Zong Yanli took off the long sword from his waist and handed it over.

Dong Haoqiang wiped his hands and took it excitedly. The moment he took it in his hand, his eyes lit up.

"What a heavy sword!" Dong Haoqiang exclaimed, and used all his strength to steady himself. His face flushed as he struggled to draw the sword out of the sheath. Before the sword was completely unsheathed, he could already feel the cold and murderous aura coming towards him.

The blade is so sharp that it makes people's mouths dry.

What a great knife!

Dong Haoqiang didn't want to pull it out with any more effort, otherwise he would not be able to hold the scabbard.

Men always care about their reputation. He sheathed the sword and returned it to Zong Yanli. He pretended to be calm even though he had used a lot of strength. He said, "Young General, this sword is really beautiful! What's its name?"

“Langque.” Zong Yanli hung the long sword back on his waist easily, raised his eyes slightly and looked at Dong Haoqiang and said, “This sword was forged for me by my father, and I named it Langque.”

"What a nice name!" Dong Haoqiang praised again, looking at Zong Yanli's knife with some covetousness, but secretly regretting that the knife was too heavy for him to lift!

When Dong Haoqiang returned to his tent, he was still muttering about Zong Yanli's knife.

He thought with some admiration in his heart that one day the Langque Blade would become famous throughout the world along with Zong Yanli's name.

He was looking forward to that day very much.

When Zong Yanli was halfway back to the camp, he looked up and saw Shi Potian and Jin Da standing on the road. He paused and walked towards them.

"General Yan Luo?" Shi Potian was a little uncomfortable seeing Zong Yanli wearing a mask.

"No need to be so polite, just call me by my name." Zong Yanli's voice came from behind the mask. Shi Potian's expression relaxed and he laughed, "I can't recognize you in this state!"

"I'm still young. Since I'm going to lead the troops, I naturally want some deterrence." Zong Yanli also explained with a smile.

Shi Potian and Jin Da smiled and said that it was indeed the right thing to do. Then they said, "Our general came to inform us about the siege. I learned that we would fight together with you this time, so I came to find you."

Zong Yanli nodded and said, "Indeed, this siege will not be easy."

They knew it without Zong Yanli saying it. How could they attack a city with only a thousand soldiers?

Shi Potian and Jin Da were also unsure...

The left army suffered too many losses in the beginning, and they haven't had many reinforcements after one battle after another. This time, General Peng called for a thousand soldiers, and Shi Potian and Jin Da were the first to respond to the call. In fact, they all understood that the life or death of these thousand men was uncertain.

"Knowing that you'll be with me on this journey, I feel much more at ease!" Shi Potian looked at Zong Yanli and laughed.

"Since you are here, would you like to sit in my camp?" Zong Yanli invited.

"It won't be too late to come back after we return victoriously. We still need to go back to the army to inspect the troops." Although Shi Potian wanted to go, he was a personal soldier under Peng Deqing after all, so it was not good for him to get too close to Zong Yanli.

There was also a talkative person in the army. He didn't want his general to think too much, so he just waited halfway to say a few words to Zong Yanli and then left.

Zong Yanli could understand it, so he said goodbye to him and returned to the camp.

Wen Nian had already woken up and was washing the blood stains off his armor. When he saw Zong Yanli coming back, he stopped slightly and looked over.

Zong Yanli's eyes fell on Wen Nian's face, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "You were awake for a very short time this time. Do you have any other feelings?"

"...The back of my head hurts a little." Wen Nian lowered his eyes. Every time he was hit on the back of his head, he was a little worried about his brain.

"..."

Zong Yanli was silent for a moment: "If you hit the back of your head, you will feel dizzy quickly, just bear with it."

Bai Xiujun, who was listening to the conversation, almost died of laughter. He held his breath and gritted his teeth until he saw Zong Yanli return to the camp. He turned his back and laughed heartily. Then he walked up to Wen Nian and said, "Brother Nian, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know." If only he knew.

"It's not a solution to go on like this. What if one day our general gets injured and can't subdue you, but gets injured by you instead..." Bai Xiuyun didn't even dare to think about that scene. Could anyone really subdue the murderous Wen Nian?

Wen Nian paused while brushing his armor, and injured Zong Yanli...

No, it cannot be done.

Absolutely not.

He clenched his hands, his heart was turbulent and his eyes were deep. He didn't understand how to suppress it, and he didn't know what to do.

In the following days, Zong Yanli went to Zuoying often to discuss the specific matters of siege with Peng Deqing, and the troops were reorganized and they were just waiting for the order from the general.

On the day of the winter solstice, they finally sent out troops.

More than a thousand soldiers quietly left from the rear of the camp, stepping on the ice and frost on the ground and heading towards Dongning City. At this time, Nankang and Jin State were still unaware of it. Instead, they argued for a long time because of Zong Yanli's 300 Yin soldiers. How could they not be angry when Nankang couldn't resist such excellent cavalry?

The deputy general who fled from the battlefield beside Wu Xian was beheaded in public as a warning to others.
