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

I have to say, this woman is more and more attractive the more I look at her.

There is a noble temperament in every gesture, which makes people want to get closer.

"Report——"

A yamen runner ran in in a panic, interrupting Lu Yan's reverie.

"Why are you so flustered?" Lu Yan asked with some displeasure.

"Sir, General Lu Fei sent a message that the musketeers were attacked on the road!"

The yamen runner reported breathlessly.

"What?!" Lu Yan's face changed.

"What happened? What are the casualties?"

"The specific circumstances are still unclear, but we only know that Liu An sent someone to do it,"

The bailiff said hurriedly.

"Captain Lu Fei has won a great victory in this battle, but he's afraid there might be an ambush, so he's requesting reinforcements!"

"That old bastard Liu An is tired of living!"

Lu Yan slammed the table, causing the tea to splash out and leaving a dark stain on the table.

"Do you really think I'm a vegetarian? How dare you touch my musketeers!"

"Come here, immediately send a message to Zhang Xun to lead the cavalry battalion to quickly support Lu Fei!"

"Tell him to keep those muskets safe, not a single one can be lost!"

"If there is resistance, kill without mercy!"

"Also, write a letter and send it to the capital to inform the Empress of this matter!"

"Yes!" The bailiff took the order and left.

He gave orders while pacing back and forth anxiously.

This batch of muskets is of great significance and must not fall into Liu An's hands.

Chen Qingwan saw all this and thought to herself:

Lu Yan is actually so anxious about my batch of muskets.

And Liu An is so bold, I'm afraid he has his accomplices in the capital.

It seems that this matter must be investigated as soon as possible to avoid endless trouble.

She stood up calmly and said to Lu Yan:

"Master Lu, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to my room to rest first."

"Miss Chen, please go ahead."

Lu Yan stood up to see her off, and watched Chen Qingwan's graceful figure disappear at the end of the corridor, a ripple in his heart.

After Chen Qingwan returned to the room, she immediately called her secret guard and ordered:

"Immediately send someone to secretly investigate Liu An's influence in the capital and which officials he has close ties with."

"Remember, be careful and don't alert the enemy."

"Yes!" The secret guard took the order and left.

Chen Qingwan picked up her pen and wrote another letter, informing her confidants in the palace to strengthen the palace guards just in case.

After finishing writing, she sealed the letter, handed it to the secret guard, and instructed:

"Send this letter secretly to the palace and be sure to hand it to General Li Mu personally."

"As ordered!"

The secret guard took the letter and quickly disappeared into the night.

……

The official roads in the suburbs of Beijing are as winding as snakes.

The trees on both sides are withered, and the autumn wind blows up the fallen leaves, making them swirl in the air.

The musketeers led by Lu Fei advanced slowly along the official road.

The team maintained a tight formation, everyone watching their surroundings vigilantly.

The spy came on horseback and reported, bowing and saying:

"General, we are less than a hundred miles away from the capital!"

Lu Fei nodded, his expression solemn:

"Let the brothers be more vigilant."

He tightened the reins, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and his eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the surrounding environment.

Everywhere you look, the withered yellow weeds tremble in the autumn wind.

The bare branches stretched out like twisted claws toward the gray sky.

The sounds around were eerily quiet.

Only the occasional hoarse cries of crows echoed in the empty valley.

A few frightened birds fluttered out of the woods, breaking the suffocating silence.

But it also made Lu Fei feel even more uneasy. He always felt that something was going to happen.

He subconsciously touched the rifle beside him, and the cold touch made him feel a little more at ease.

"Hurry up! We must reach the capital before dark!"

He urged the team loudly, his voice a little hoarse in the wind.

However, what are you afraid of?

After walking for a while, dust started flying ahead.

A mighty army appeared in sight, blocking the official road.

Lu Fei's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

This army is large in number and well-equipped, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary army.

He immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and prepare for battle.

The leading general rode a tall horse.

He was wearing bright silver armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and looked very proud.

Behind him followed a team of elite soldiers, all of whom were strong and murderous.

The general looked at Lu Fei's musketeers from a distance, with a sneer of disdain on his face.

"With so few people, what good can a fire-breathing, noisy thing do?"

"Master Liu is making such a fuss that he asked me to bring so many elite troops with me. It's like overkill!"

The deputy general beside him smiled apologetically:

"General, you're right. The Shannan Prefecture's musketeers are just a bunch of ragtag bunch. How can they be our opponents?"

"General, just give the order and we'll crush them into dust!"

The general laughed heartily, obviously enjoying the flattery from the deputy general.

He waved his hand and ordered:

"Send someone to persuade them to surrender, so as not to waste time."

A soldier took the order and rode a fast horse to Lu Fei's troops.

After stopping his horse, he shouted loudly:

"My general said that if you hand over those muskets with both hands, I will leave you with an intact body!"

Hearing this, Lu Fei sneered and asked:

"We are the Shannan Prefecture Musketeers. Are you going against our Shannan Prefecture?"

"Have you thought about the consequences?"

The soldier said in a proud tone:

"No matter where you are from, how can you, a mere government army, be compared with us?"

"Since you don't agree with what I just said, then just wait!"

After saying this, he turned his horse around and prepared to return.

Seeing this, Lu Fei called him:

"Wait!"

The soldier turned around and asked:

"What? Have you decided to surrender?"

Lu Fei just smiled at him, then raised his rifle and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

The soldier fell to the ground, and his blood stained the ground red.

This scene happened so quickly that the opposing army had no time to react.

The general was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, pointing at Lu Fei and cursing:

"How dare you, you idiot, kill my people! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

With his order, the elite troops rushed towards Lu Fei's musketeers like a tide.

Seeing this, Lu Fei was not panicked at all and shouted loudly:

"Brothers, beat them up hard! Let them know how powerful we are in Shannan Prefecture!"

The musketeers could no longer hold back.

When they heard Lu Fei's order, excitement flashed in their eyes.

They quickly raised their muskets and pointed the black muzzles at the rushing enemies.

Pull the trigger, "bang bang bang..."

A series of deafening gunshots echoed through the valley, and thick smoke filled the air.

The enemy's screams came one after another, and the enemies in the front fell to the ground like cut wheat.
