With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Seeing this, the others were a little scared, but they still went forward to taste it.

After someone finished eating, his expression remained unchanged, and he gave a thumbs-up and praised:

"Delicious! Another bowl please!"

Of course, there were also people whose faces turned blue after eating and who ran to the side to vomit uncontrollably.

Chen Qingwan was in the carriage and had long been attracted by the movement here.

She secretly lifted the curtain of the car and saw this funny scene, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"This Lu Yan is such a funny guy!" she thought to herself.

Lu Yan seemed to notice her gaze and turned his head and blinked at her.

Then he walked towards the carriage mysteriously, holding a bowl of "dark cuisine".

"Miss Qingwan, would you like to try my secret recipe?"

Chen Qingwan looked at the black mass, her stomach churning, and she quickly waved her hand to refuse:

"No, no, I... I'm not hungry..."

"You're welcome, I made this especially for you!"

Lu Yan had a wicked smile on his face and pretended to lift the car curtain.

Chen Qingwan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly hid in the corner of the carriage and shouted in panic:

"Don't come over! I... I'm afraid of the dark..."

Seeing this, Lu Yan burst into laughter.

He stopped insisting and turned back to the soldiers.

The army continued to move forward.

Along the way, Lu Yan continued to show his "sand sculpture" nature.

From time to time, he does some ridiculous things.

For example, when he was bored, he actually had an arm wrestling competition with Li Kui.

As a result, he was easily knocked down by Li Kui with one hand and fell on his butt.

Chen Qingwan looked at Lu Yan's frivolous look, feeling both angry and amused.

This guy always comes up with some weird ideas.

But she had to admit that he did have the ability to unite people.

These soldiers simply worshipped him to the extreme.

Once, the team rested beside a forest.

Lu Yan took out a slingshot from somewhere and aimed at the bird in the tree.

"Lord Lu, what are you doing..."

Chen Qingwan asked curiously.

"Bird hunting! We're in the middle of nowhere. We need to improve our food."

Lu Yan said without turning his head.

"But...your accuracy..." Chen Qingwan was a little skeptical.

Before he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound and a bullet flew out, hitting a fat pheasant.

The pheasant flapped its wings and fell from the tree.

Lu Yan whistled triumphantly:

"How is it? My skills are pretty good, right?"

Chen Qingwan opened her mouth in surprise. This guy is really a hidden talent!

"As a snack tonight, ask Xiao Kui to make us a roast chicken!"

Lu Yan picked up the pheasant excitedly and winked at Chen Qingwan.

The relationship between the two people gradually became subtle in this relaxed and happy atmosphere.

That evening, the team camped in a valley.

Ye Xiao suddenly came to Lu Yan and reported solemnly:

"Sir, we've spotted scouts from the combined forces of Beixiang and Java ahead.

There are about fifty of them, about five miles away from us."

Lu Yan frowned. It seemed that the other party had already noticed their movements.

"Brothers, be vigilant and strengthen patrols to prevent enemy sneak attacks."

He ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Night Owl took the order and left.

Lu Yan walked to Chen Qingwan's carriage and said:

"It seems we have to speed up."

Chen Qingwan lifted the car curtain and asked worriedly:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"The enemy's scouts have spotted us, and I'm afraid a large force will arrive soon."

Lu Yan explained.

"We must reach the Southeast Pass before them and reunite with Lu Fei."

Chen Qingwan nodded, she also knew the seriousness of the matter.

"What are you going to do?"

Lu Yan smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes:

"Since they want to play, let's play with them. Xiao Kui!"

"grown ups!"

Li Kui ran over happily, carrying his big knife.

"Pass the order down. The entire army must march quickly tonight and strive to reach the Southeast Pass before dawn!"

Lu Yan said in a firm tone.

"Yes!" Li Kui shouted excitedly and turned around to pass on the order.

As night fell, the army advanced silently in the darkness.

Chen Qingwan sat in the carriage, listening to the hurried sound of horse hooves outside, her heart filled with anxiety.

She didn't know what was waiting for them ahead...

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently and stopped.

Chen Qingwan exclaimed and asked quickly:

"what happened?"

Lu Yan's voice came from outside the car:

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, I just encountered a little trouble."

Chen Qingwan lifted the car curtain and saw that the road ahead was cut off in half by a huge tree, which was obviously man-made.

In the woods on both sides of the road, some figures could be vaguely seen swaying.

"It seems we have been ambushed."

Lu Yan said in a calm tone.

"ambush?"

Chen Qingwan's heart tightened. Could it be the coalition forces of Beixiang Kingdom and Java Kingdom?

"Xiao Kui, it's your turn to perform!"

Li Kui grinned, revealing his white teeth:

"Hey, that's exactly what I want!"

He swung his sword and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, rush with me!"

In an instant, the sound of shouting and killing shook the earth, breaking the tranquility of the valley...

"Kill! Chop these bastards to death!"

Li Kui's roar was like thunder, making the valley buzz.

The big knife in his hand flew up and down, and the knife light flashed.

The enemy soldiers fell in droves like cut wheat.

The scarlet blood dyed the land of the valley red.

The soldiers of the Big Sword Team followed closely behind, like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

The big swords in their hands flashed coldly in the moonlight.

Every swing takes away a life.

Although the enemy was numerous, they were caught off guard.

Caught off guard by this sudden and fierce attack, the formation collapsed instantly.

"Musketeers, fire!"

Lu Yan stood on a high place, calmly directing the battle.

"Bang bang bang!"

Intensive gunfire echoed throughout the valley.

Fires flickered and bullets rained down.

The enemy soldiers fell down screaming, and the already chaotic formation became even more vulnerable.

"Sir, the enemy is trying to escape!"

Zhang Xun rode his horse to Lu Yan's side and shouted excitedly.

Lu Yan sneered:

"No need to chase! This is just a small group of enemies. The real tough battle is still to come."

The battle lasted for about an hour, and the remaining enemy troops abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions.

Lu Yan did not order a pursuit.

This is just a tentative attack by the enemy, the real main force is still behind.

"The entire army must continue to advance and strive to reach the Southeast Pass before daybreak!"

Lu Yan gave orders loudly.

The army continued its rapid march in the darkness.

Chen Qingwan held on tightly to the handrail inside the carriage as it bumped along the rugged mountain road.

Her heart was also beating fast.

The shouting and screaming outside gradually faded away.

Instead, there was the monotonous rhythm of horse hooves hitting rocks.

She knew that Lu Yan was very capable and could always turn danger into safety.
