In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Lu Yan said that General Li did not take this into consideration at the time. He only thought that the capital city, as a weak area, would affect their progress. However, he did not expect that if their attack was too sharp, the people in the capital city would naturally not be able to sit still.

"Your Highness Prince Jing is indeed very shrewd. I hadn't even thought of this."

Lu Yan held his forehead with his hand. There were actually people who described him like this. However, they were all soldiers, so there was no need to think about these nitpicking things with them.

Three days later, early in the morning, when Lu Yan left with the Zhenbei Army, exactly three days had passed and his recovery time had also been exactly 10 days.

Although Lu Yan's joints were a little rusty due to lying in bed for a long time, he still had that foundation. Moreover, in this battle, he was mainly the one making the plans, and he was not needed most of the time. Now General Xiao Li could completely take over his physical labor, and he could also enjoy some free time.

Even if the Queen Mother didn't want him to go, there was nothing she could do. What's more, the military power was in his hands. If the Queen Mother pressed him too hard, there was no guarantee that His Royal Highness Prince Jing would do something. To be absolutely sure, she still hoped that the people from the Western Regions could give Lu Yan a final blow.

When Lu Yan was about to leave, he repeatedly urged Xu Qingyin to stay in the capital, but Xu Qingyin was really worried about them. After all, she knew what the Empress Dowager had done.

It would be easy to cut off Lu Yan's food supply. Without food, they would starve to death on the border.

The same tactic was used against them last time in the North. If Xu Qingyin had not provided them with supplies again and again, Lu Yan would have already become a corpse in the North. How could she let him take this risk alone now?

"You don't have to keep making excuses. I'm really worried about you. And you know it yourself. My bracelet can connect the two worlds, and you just completed a mission after falling asleep. You can't use the bracelet to travel between the two worlds yet. So if you want to get the supplies this time, I have to do it."

Lu Yan knew very well that if they continued on this journey, they would most likely be sanctioned, but he still worried about Xu Qingyin.

Just as the two were arguing, 101 and 102 spoke in their heads at the same time:

"Can you two please stop worrying and ignore us? Our system has been with you for a long time, and you won't even come to us for help at this moment?"

Lu Yan suddenly realized that he had not chatted with the system for a long time since completing his last mission.

"What help?"

At this time, 101 and 102 spoke at the same time:

"One of you completed the system mission to save Xu Qingyin, and the other completed the mission to protect Yun Jin while Lu Yan was asleep. Have you ever considered that the system might give you some rewards?"

It was only at this time that Xu Qingyin realized that, indeed, the system always gave rewards when she completed tasks before.

It has been one or two years now. After working so hard for so long, there should be some rewards.

"Then tell me quickly, now that we have completed so many tasks, what reward can we give?"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qingyin heard the system's voice:

“Congratulations to the host for completing the first phase of the mission and replacing the monarch within ten days.

Congratulations to the host for completing the second phase of the mission and stabilizing the Queen Mother within a year.

Now the host is about to enter the final stage, receive system rewards, and gain the ability to freely locate and shuttle. "

As for Lu Yan's system, it had just said that it would give a reward, but now it suddenly said that the reward seemed to be postponed.

Lu Yan was speechless:

"Now that the war is imminent, yet you say you'll give my reward to the very last?"

102 quickly covered his head and begged for mercy:

"Host, please don't be anxious or angry. Look, the witch has already received such a great reward. It's more than enough for her to help you. What's more, the task you completed was just an extra one. What kind of benefit do you expect?"

Lu Yan: ...

He had been alone in the modern world for a full ten years, yet he dared to say that the missions he had completed were worthless. He really...

Forget it.

But Xu Qingyin was very happy:

"Could this free travel function allow me to stay in the capital or at the border of Yunjin?"

"Yes."

I didn’t expect that this system could be reliable sometimes. Isn’t this a wish come true?

Now the two of them are no longer entangled, and Xu Qingyin can stay in Yunjin peacefully.

On the surface, they and the Queen Mother are cooperative teammates in this expedition, but in reality, it is their last undercurrent battle.

in the palace.

Li Ji Suolang was extremely anxious. Facing the Queen Mother's disdainful attitude, he did not dare to resist. After all, everything they had now was given by the Queen Mother. However, he was also nervous:

"Empress Dowager, now that he's heading to the Western Regions, are you really planning to just leave everything alone? He led this group of Northern Guarding Army soldiers with only 4 troops, yet they defeated over southern invaders. Even though we in the Western Regions have the secret magic weapon you gave us, and we have enough troops, if things really come to a head, it's hard to tell who will win. What if our Western Region troops are defeated, then what will we do?"

The Queen Mother was used to being flattered by these people from the Western Regions, but now they dared to challenge her over this matter.

Although the Queen Mother herself knew that they were not completely prepared for this matter, it was indeed the only way at the moment, so she was a little angry:

"Instead of arguing with me here, why don't you think of a solution yourself? You were the ones who caused all that trouble. I've told you not to be so anxious. Some things will be yours sooner or later, but you won't listen and insist on causing trouble again and again on the border. Now that the truth has been exposed, you're starting to get anxious. You keep asking me, what can I do?"

The Empress Dowager was angry, and he didn't dare to say anything else. What's more, everything the Empress Dowager said was true, and he had nothing to refute. He could only secretly resent Lu Yan for targeting him everywhere.

"We can only blame Prince Jing. He was clearly lying in bed peacefully, but he insisted on waking up, and now he is trying to disrupt our plans. Queen Mother, I have thought about it and decided that we can't just sit there and wait for death. If Prince Jing really wipes out the Western Regions, and then he returns victorious, the people will be even more dissatisfied. Will we still have any status?"
