Xiao Yan looked at Song Yao and said, "We can't just let you go to defend our country. Don't worry, E Yu and Feng Yingying are at home with her. Oh, and Ah He asked me to tell you something. You must be careful and cautious, don't try to be stubborn, and make sure you return alive."

"I understand." Song Yao glanced at Xiao Yan, then looked at Xiao Chi and the others, "Let's go."

Xiao Chi said: "Okay!"

Then, everyone continued on their journey.

It took them two hours to stop five miles away from Lijiazhuang.

Xiao Chi, Song Yao and others have already arrived at the front of the army on horseback. It is already midnight, and they don't know whether the enemy has rested.

Xiao Chi looked at Song Zizhou and Song Qing beside him, "Uncle, Song Qing, go to the front and check the enemy's situation."

"Yes!"

The two men clasped their fists in response and immediately rode their horses to the front.

Xiao Chi and the others did not dismount, but remained on their horses, waiting for Song Zizhou and the others to return.

Song Zizhou and Song Qing came directly to Lijiazhuang.

Although Lijiazhuang is a village, it is not very big, so most of the enemy troops lived around the village, and the entire village was occupied by the enemy.

Song Qing and his men dismounted, tied their horses aside, and approached the enemy to observe.

There are many tents outside the village. At this time, several bonfires are burning outside the tents, and next to the bonfires, many people are warming themselves by the fire.

Seeing this, Song Zizhou looked at Song Qing on the side and said in a low voice, "Go back and tell the emperor and the others about the situation here. I will stay here and wait until everyone has rested before I go back."

"it is good!"

Song Qing agreed, turned around, bowed and left.

He rode his horse back to Xiao Chi and the others and told them about the situation over there.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chi asked everyone to dismount and rest first, and then eat something.

Everyone did as they were told.

After Song Yao dismounted, he looked at Yuchi Lan and the others and said, "I think the best way is to act after the hour of the Rat. They will be fast asleep by then, so a surprise attack would be a piece of cake."

Yuchi Lan said, "Indeed, they would never have thought that we would launch a surprise attack at this time. Everyone will relax their guard, making it easier to kill them!"

"Yes!" Song Yao nodded.

Xiao Chi thought about it and asked Song Qing to call Song Zizhou back.

Song Qing left immediately.

Xiao Qiwu said, "The enemy still has over 400,000 troops. If we don't launch a surprise attack, it will be a tough battle and we will definitely lose a lot of people!"

Song Yao said: "Yes, so we need to launch a sneak attack!"

Xiao Yan asked, "Will the enemy let down their guard? After all, you have already launched a surprise attack on them once before."

Song Yao glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "Perhaps the enemy will think that since we have already attacked them once in the Purple Bamboo Forest, they will not attack them again."

"I don't know whether the enemy really thinks so!" Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Qiwu said, "Perhaps the enemy is waiting for us to take the bait right now. If we don't take it, they might think we won't attack them anymore, so they'll relax their guard and go to rest. So, waiting until late at night to attack them is the wisest option."

"Yes!" Song Yao smiled. "I hope they really think so."

Soon, Song Qing and Song Zizhou came back.

For fear of being discovered by the enemy, Song Yao and his men did not make a fire, but just sat on the ground to rest.

It is already cold now, especially at night, when the temperature drops sharply. Without a fire, everyone's teeth are chattering with cold.

Fortunately, we won’t have to wait here too long, otherwise the soldiers will definitely not be able to bear it.

Since it was still early, some soldiers closed their eyes to rest.

Song Yao sat with Yuchi Lan, Xiao Chi and the others. She said, "Then we will surround the entire Lijia Village and leave the enemy troops nowhere to escape!"

Yuchi Lan said, "It's like catching a turtle in a jar."

"Yes!" Song Yao nodded, "Kill them by surprise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Zizhou looked at the man on horseback coming towards him, frowned, and was very confused. "Ayao, someone is coming."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone sitting together looked in the direction Song Zizhou pointed.

Everyone became alert when they saw him. Even Song Qing had his hand on his sword. If the other party made any rash moves, he would immediately draw his sword and rush forward to kill him!

The next moment, the man in the cloak got off the horse.

When he walked towards Song Yao and the others, Meng Feihan and several other soldiers stood up, drew their swords, and protected Song Yao and the others behind them.

Meng Feihan looked at the person who came and sized him up for a few seconds.

There was a cold moon in the sky, and the moonlight shone on the man in the cloak. The face was not clear. Meng Feihan did not recognize him and asked, "Who are you?"

The man took off his hat, but he still didn't recognize him. However, Song Yao behind him recognized him.

She stood up excitedly, "Master? Why are you here?"

Meng Feihan turned and looked at Song Yao, "Empress, do you know him?"

Song Yao walked up to Meng Feihan and said with a smile, "He is Taoist Master Yuxuan of Xuanyun Temple!"

When Meng Feihan heard this, he clasped his fists and said, "So it's Taoist Master Yuxuan. I apologize for my rudeness!"

Taoist Master Yuxuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Song Yao asked, "Master Yuxuan, why are you here?"

Taoist Yuxuan looked at Song Yao and said, "I calculated that the enemy was coming. In order to prevent the people of the capital from being massacred, I came down the mountain to lend a hand!"

Song Qing was surprised and said, "Wow, Taoist priest, you can even calculate this? It's amazing!"

Song Yao said, "He's a Taoist priest, so he can definitely figure it out!"

Taoist Yuxuan looked at Xiao Chi and said with a bow, "I pay my respects to the Emperor!"

"Master, you don't have to be so polite!" Xiao Chi said, "Thank you for coming to help."

Taoist Master Yuxuan said: "This is as it should be."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Yao and Xiao Chi, "Then when will we attack?"

Song Yao said, "Since you are here, Taoist Priest, why don't you choose a suitable time?"

"okay."

Taoist Master Yuxuan nodded and started counting with his fingers.

After a while, he looked at Song Yao and the others, "The best time is 3:30 pm. Firstly, it's suitable for attacking, and secondly, the enemy is very fast asleep at that time. Attacking at this time will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Song Yao and his men had originally planned to attack at Chou time, but since Taoist Yuxuan said so, they could only wait until three quarters past Yin time to attack.

Song Zizhou said, "It's a good thing you came, Taoist priest, and calculated for us. Otherwise, if we had attacked at Chou time, we wouldn't know if the attack would have been successful at this time."

Taoist Master Yuxuan said: "It is heaven's will that I came here, and it is also heaven's will that you listen to my words. It is destined that the Beilan Kingdom will perish!"
