It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"When we arrived at the dock, there was only a small restaurant open there. From the old couple who owned the restaurant, we learned that the Northern Qiang people were stationed in the south because they didn't like the humid environment of the dock. We originally planned to send someone to get some information, but we didn't know the terrain here and were afraid of alerting the enemy, so we thought of joining you first."

"My original plan was to occupy the Mirror Moon Lake in the south and then seal all the exits to trick them. But I didn't expect them to get there first, so we hid in the woods. But the boat was badly damaged, and we have been repairing it for more than half a year." Lu Sui rubbed his brows, "I looked at the map. If we want to break out, we must go through the Mirror Moon Lake."

"Then why can our ship approach the dock?"

"You can only go in but not out. When you came here, you probably didn't see even a single ship, right? I don't know if the Northern Qiang people were too confident or careless, but they actually let someone..."

"Young Marquis, Young Marquis."

Before Lu Sui could finish his words, Li Yan's panicked voice rang out from outside: "The Northern Qiang people have broken in."

"what?"

The two stood up at the same time, and Yuan Buwei's face turned pale. "I understand. The Northern Qiang people must be secretly observing you at the dock, but they don't know where you are, so they tracked every person who got off the ship that docked. Lu Sui, I'm sorry, I was careless."

"none of your business."

Lu Sui walked to the bed, picked up his daughter who was sleeping soundly, and gently handed her to Yuan Buwei: "I will let Qiong Yue cover you and go first. Our ships are all in the west."

"Okay, we'll meet up then."

At a time like this, leaving immediately would be the greatest help to Lu Sui.

Compared to the last time she escaped, Yuan Buwei was more calm because she believed that no matter how great the difficulties were, Lu Sui would succeed.

three days later.

Lu Sui and others came back, but more than half of them were missing. Everyone was covered in dust and dirt, with many suffering minor and serious injuries.

"Hiss."

Lu Sui was injured in his right arm. If he hadn't dodged quickly, his entire right arm would have been cut off.

"Mianmian, help Daddy to breathe, and Daddy won't feel any pain anymore."

Ever since Mianmian could remember, there had always been a war in her world, so when she woke up that day, she didn't cry or make a fuss, but was quiet.

Lu Sui looked at his sensible daughter, but his heart was sour: "Mianmian, are you scared?"

"Mianmian has a father, a mother, and so many uncles accompanying her. She is not afraid at all."

"So nice."

"During the three days you were away, I checked the progress of the warship's repairs. They are all in the final stages, but the ship is lacking explosives." Yuan Buwei said as she bandaged Lu Sui. "I read some military books when I was free before, and I also found several naval battles in Dazhao's history. The situation of one of them is very similar to yours this time."

"Avi, go on."

"Based on the current situation of both of you, their strength is greater than yours. It will definitely not work if we just rely on a tug-of-war. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous our situation will be."

"Yes."

Lu Sui nodded: "I have considered this as well, so I have been asking the ship repairmen to repair the ship as soon as possible."

"Have you ever thought of using fire?"

"Fire attack?"

"Boats are made of wood, so once they start burning, it's very difficult to put out the fire. This is Dazhao Wharf, and almost every household has a small boat. If we find a group of small boats, tie explosives to the sterns, and charge straight at the big ships of the Northern Qiang Army, as long as the wind direction is right that day, then our chances of winning are very high."

Lu Sui's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed again: "No, if that's the case, it would be like sending a group of people to die in vain."

"Yes, this method is cruel, so I just suggested it."

Li Yan was standing not far from the two of them, and was able to hear their conversation clearly.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned around to look for Meng Qiongyue and Mu Yu.

"Really? Did you really hear the plan of the young marquis and the young mistress?" Meng Qiongyue was also injured this time, but fortunately her injury was not serious.

"Yes, I heard it, but given the young marquis's personality, he won't let us die in vain." Li Yan clenched his fists, "But if this drags on, more people will die."

"Everyone in the Gale Camp is on the side of the young marquis. When they came here, they had already put life and death aside. But now the solution is not to go to the battlefield and get killed accidentally, but to take the initiative to stand up..." Mu Yu lowered his head and clenched his fists, "As the young marquis's deputy generals, the three of us naturally have to stand up."

"No."

Li Yan and Meng Qiongyue both refused.

"Mu Yu, you are the only son of the Mu family. If anything happens to you, what will you ask your parents to do?" Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go and tell them. I'm alone anyway, so it doesn't matter if I die."

"That won't work. We agreed to share the good times and the bad times. I can't let you take the risk alone."

"Meng Qiongyue, I know you want to make a contribution, but think about how we got here. If you..." Li Yan couldn't say the word "die", "Shangguan Que is still waiting for you to go back and marry him, and his two sisters are still waiting for him to inherit the family business."

"We'll talk about this later. If we don't take action now, we'll all become sitting ducks for the Northern Qiang people." Meng Qiongyue looked at the two of them. "If death is the inevitable outcome, I'd rather die on my own initiative. I'm a woman, and if I fall into the hands of the Northern Qiang people, they'll definitely torture me. I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it."

"I agree."

Li Yan's eyes widened: "You two."

"At worst, we can die together. Let's go down there and continue to be brothers."

"Yes, continue to be brothers."

Li Yan looked at the two people who were inexplicably passionate and felt a little regretful for running over to tell them.

But in that case, he nodded: "Okay."

"I disagree!"

When the three came to Lu Sui to talk about it, he rejected them directly: "As my deputy generals, you have to cooperate with me. I will make arrangements for other matters."

"Young Marquis, it is precisely because we are your deputy generals that we have to set an example. If it really doesn't work, you can send us and keep Li Yan." Meng Qiongyue said anxiously, "He has been with you the longest. Together with Ning Xingzhou, as long as you three are together, the morale of the army will be stable."

I said, if I disagree, I just disagree! "

When Yuan Buwei brought Mianmian in, she saw Lu Sui getting angry.

"Mother?"

Mianmian looked up at Yuan Buwei: "Is Daddy angry?"

"Awei, Mianmian..."

Seeing the two people coming in, Lu Sui waved to the three people and said, "You can go down first. We still need to think about this matter carefully."

"Young lady."

Meng Qiongyue turned around and walked directly to Yuan Buwei and told her the purpose of the three people's visit.

After listening to this, Yuan Buwei looked at Lu Sui who had a conflicted look on his face.
