The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"No need to be polite"

"Commander Sun, Commander Wu, this is General Li Jing. I believe you have all met him." Ning Quan said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to meet General Li." Sun and Wu bowed.

"Well, it's good to have seen it."

"Commander Sun, Commander Wu, from now on you two must obey the orders of General Li Jing." Ning Quan said solemnly.

"Yes, sir!" The two of them agreed quickly after hearing this.

The two of them had long known that Li Jing was the number one general under His Highness and was deeply trusted by His Highness.

Moreover, before they left, the head of the family had already told them to obey His Highness's orders, so naturally they dared not neglect them.

"Well, you go down."

Ning Quan nodded with satisfaction and let the two of them leave.

"General Li Jing, what are the abilities of these two?"

After Sun Wu and the other two left, Ning Quan asked.

"Your Highness, the two commanders of Sun Wu are both sixth-rank, and their martial arts are decent. As for their abilities, it's hard to say at this point, after all, we've only been in contact for a short time."

Li Jing bowed.

"Well, I just asked casually."

"You can investigate it yourself later and make the specific arrangements yourself." Ning Quan nodded.

"I obey your command." Li Jing bowed.

"Also, the convoy is about to leave Weizhou. Once we leave Weizhou, we may encounter the Longyou Army at any time. You must be prepared to fight at any time."

Ning Quan said seriously.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I understand." Li Jing said solemnly.

The convoy continued to move forward and soon left Weizhou.

Because they could encounter situations at any time, the convoy maintained a tight formation according to Li Jing's orders.

The soldiers were also on high alert, ready to engage in battle at any time.

Ning Quan no longer rode in a carriage, but instead rode a warhorse.

"Your Highness, do you think the King of Zhenxi really dares to take action?"

Sikong Ruo asked from the side while riding a tall horse.

"Haha, I hope he won't take action, but unfortunately this possibility is not high." Ning Yuan sneered.

"why?"

"We now have nearly four thousand men in total, unless he sends out a large army."

"But if that's the case, isn't that blatant rebellion?"

Sikong Ruo did not believe the Tao.

Sikong Ruo actually wanted to say, I, the daughter of the great King Zhenbei, am still in the team, so does he really dare to take action?

I just didn't have the nerve to say it out loud.

"Maybe, who knows."

Ning Yuan shrugged his shoulders and did not answer the question directly.

Ning Quan was not sure whether the King of Zhenxi dared to take action or how he would do so.

In short, when the enemy comes, we will fight with our troops; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.

"Da da da~~~"

"Da da da~~~"

Just then, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from the front.

Soon, several scouts came running.

"Your Highness, report to the general, the Longyou army has been spotted twenty miles ahead, numbering approximately 20,000 men."

A scout reported.

"Haha, I couldn't help it after all!" Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Should we stop?" Sikong Ruo asked hurriedly.

"No, keep going."

Ning Yuan said indifferently.

"Your Highness, why do you continue to advance? Shouldn't you defend where you are?"

Sikong Ruo was puzzled.

"Can we hold it? The enemy has 20,000 troops."

"We only have 4,000 people in total. How can we hold on?"

Ning Yuan shook his head.

"But..." Sikong Ruo opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, if the Longyou Army didn't send out so many troops, I might be afraid."

"But since you've sent so many troops, I'm sure the King of Zhenxi won't dare to take action."

"Otherwise he would be committing treason, guilty of conspiracy and condemned by all the people of the land."

"Can you imagine that he dared to kill the prince of this dynasty and you, the daughter of the King of Zhenbei, in front of 20,000 Daqian soldiers?"

Ning Yuan looked at Sikong Ruodao.

"This..." Sikong Ruo was stunned when he heard this and had no words to refute.

Ning Quan was right. The King of Zhenxi would never dare to order the Longyou Army to kill them.

Unless he really wants to rebel.

...............

At the same time, twenty miles away from the convoy.

The 20,000-strong Longyou army lined up in neat formations, waiting quietly.

At the front of the team, Longyou Deputy Jiedushi Liu Wenjie stood with his hands behind his back, gazing solemnly ahead.

Liu Wenjie is the third son of the Prince of Zhenxi and the father of Concubine Liu.

He is already fifty years old this year, with a sturdy figure, a dignified appearance, and appears to be extremely powerful.

Next to Liu Wenjie stood a middle-aged man wearing armor, exuding a tough aura, and with a sturdy build.

This person is Liu Wenjie's capable deputy general, Han Hu!

"General, let's wait here. What if they don't come?" Han Hu asked.

"No, could it be that he won't go to Beiting?"

Liu Wenjie said with confidence.

"Report, Jiedushi, the convoy is heading towards our army."

At this time, a scout came running to report.

"Haha, what did I say? It's coming!"

Liu Wenjie said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, General, you are wise."

"But I still don't understand why the Jiedushi didn't just kill him directly, but instead invited him to his residence?"

"And even if we invite him to the mansion, there is no need to mobilize so many troops, right?" Han Hu was still puzzled.

"Haha, you don't understand this."

"Father had no choice. Originally, he and I wanted to kill him, but now the situation has changed."

"He now has a force of four thousand men. Ordinary bandits can no longer handle him."

"And if we openly kill him, it would be a rebellion."

"Besides, the daughter of the King of Zhenbei is also in the team."

"If I kill her too, King Zhenbei will definitely fight me to the death."

Liu Wenjie explained.

"General, then there's nothing we can do about him?" Han Hu asked doubtfully.

"I guess so. I can only say that he is lucky."

"But if I let him go like this, my father would be furious, so he plans to invite him back home and humiliate him to relieve his hatred."

When Liu Wenjie said this, his face was ferocious.

"The general understands."

Han Hu suddenly understood after hearing this.

"Well, go and prepare, and we'll act accordingly when the time comes." Liu Wenjie ordered.

"As ordered!"

Han Hu took the order and withdrew.

"Drive~~~"

"Drive~~~"

Soon, the convoy slowly drove over.

"Haha, it's finally here!"

Liu Wenjie looked at Ning Quan with a cold gaze.

"Haha, isn't this Deputy Governor Liu?"

"Deputy Governor Liu brought so many troops to block my way. Why?"

Ning Quan reined in his horse and looked down at Liu Wenjie from above.

"Hahaha, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, how are you?"

"It's been three or four years since we last met in Beijing. Time flies!" Liu Wenjie laughed.

"You are too polite, Deputy Governor. The last time I saw you in the capital, you looked even more impressive than before."

Ning Quan said with a smile and a calm tone.
