Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"What? Jiangcheng Prefecture's three thousand private troops are attacking Shancheng?" The Shancheng lord was first shocked, then angrily said, "Why did it take you so long to report such an urgent matter?"

In order to win this competition and to eliminate the thousands of private troops sent by Jiangcheng Prefecture, the Lord of Shancheng mobilized almost all his forces, leaving only a thousand elite troops in the city.

Although the city walls could provide some advantage and hold out for a while, it was a very urgent matter.

"This man broke into the Jiangcheng Prefecture military camp at night and was caught by me. I only found out today that it was such an important matter. Please forgive me, Uncle Lian," Lin Ping said with a smile, not taking the attack on the mountain city to heart at all.

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" The Mountain City Lord slapped his horse's back in frustration, seemingly understanding why Lian Ping had suffered such a crushing defeat last time. This guy's schemes were simply monstrous.

"Didn't my husband send 10,000 men? Why are only 3,000 used to attack the city?" Jiang Yunying asked him in confusion, only then realizing the purpose of Lin Ping sending Pang Xingji and others.

But she was puzzled as to why only three thousand men were used to attack the city, instead of a full-scale assault.

"Attacking a city is a major taboo in military strategy. Those three thousand men are just a decoy, waiting for that old devil, the Mountain City Lord, to walk right into the trap," Lin Ping sneered, naturally digging another pit for the Mountain City Lord.

"Isn't my husband afraid that he will join forces with the five thousand guards in the mountain city?" Jiang Yunying asked worriedly. After all, in addition to the private army, there were another five thousand guards in the mountain city. If the two sides joined forces, their ten thousand men might not have the advantage.

"If those five thousand men were really in Shancheng, this old ghost wouldn't be so panicked," Lin Ping continued to explain. He had long anticipated that the five thousand guards of Shancheng Prefecture had advanced into Jiangcheng Prefecture, and he only hoped that Jiangcheng Prefecture could hold out for a couple more days.

"Hmph! Don't be too smug. You should worry about the situation in Jiangcheng first!" the Mountain City Lord sneered, his implication all too clear.

This was a chaotic battle, and Lin Ping himself couldn't quite explain who was actually trying to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao. In any case, this major battle was still quite risky, and he really couldn't guess how many troops the enemy had sent to besiege Jiangcheng Prefecture.

"Gui'er, you stay here to guard Yancheng, I'm going to support Shancheng!" the Shancheng lord shouted, then led five thousand cavalrymen on a wild gallop, leaving behind a dumbfounded Lian Gui and eight hundred terrified archers.

Between Yancheng and Shancheng, Lianming would naturally choose Shancheng, but he didn't want to lose Yancheng for nothing, so he ordered Liangui to protect it.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Lian Gui immediately came to his senses and led eight hundred archers in a desperate, crawling retreat towards Yancheng.

Using eight hundred archers to fight against five thousand cavalry is simply futile and overestimating one's own strength. Lian Gui's only advantage is the gate of Yancheng.

"Wife, go and kill Lian Gui, but whatever you do, don't let him return to the city!" Lin Ping said anxiously.

Once Lian Gui returns to the city, he will definitely defend it to the death. Even if we can break through, it will waste a lot of time, thus delaying our return to support Jiangcheng. Therefore, the most effective method is to kill Lian Gui directly.

Jiang Yunying understood Lin Ping's intention. Her longsword shot out from the air, several times faster than an ordinary crossbow bolt, and pierced straight for Lian Gui's back.

"Save me! Senior Feng, save me!" Lian Gui was covered in cold sweat, clearly feeling the breath of death, and shouted desperately.

Just as Jiang Yunying's sword was about to pierce Lian Gui's back, Feng Wuhua reappeared. Her azure Gouchen sword blocked the attack, and her lithe body stood upright on the horse's back, completely unaffected by the swaying. She was clearly acting as Lian Gui's bodyguard.

"Stop!" Jiang Yunying was a little anxious. She stepped on the saddle and somersaulted in the air, which made her much faster than the warhorse.

"My wife, come back!" Lin Ping had witnessed Feng Wuhua's strength and didn't want Jiang Yunying to die in vain. In any case, a large number of enemies were already approaching Yancheng, so a day or two wouldn't make a difference.

Ultimately, Lin Ping's concern was not for the City Lord's Mansion, but for Jiang Yunying alone. How could he possibly neglect her and risk her life?

"No, I can't let the City Lord's Mansion be in danger!" Jiang Yunying said resolutely, her unpredictable body appearing directly in front of Feng Wuhua, a sword net descending from the sky.

"Romantic and sentimental, huh? To have reached the Black Lotus realm at such a young age!" Feng Wuhua exclaimed in admiration, showing no fear whatsoever. Her Gouchen Sword was also wielding wildly, a deep blue sword net appearing out of thin air and violently colliding with Jiang Yunying's sword net.

Lin Ping turned the X-ray effect to the maximum, not only to see the two people's movements clearly, but also to interfere with Feng Wuhua. Unfortunately, the speed at which he shook his head was far slower than the two people's movement speed.

After a flash, the two sword nets slowly disappeared. With a soft shout from Feng Wuhua, Lian Gui's warhorse was forced to kneel on the ground as if it had been crushed by Mount Tai.

After a powerful burst of energy, Feng Wuhua's body shot out like a cannonball, instantly arriving in front of Jiang Yunying and unleashing a backhand sword strike.

After a frenzied sword dance, Jiang Yunying's sword had slipped from her hand. Besides, it would be difficult to wield a long sword at such close range.

Just as the Gouchen Sword was about to pierce Jiang Yunying's chest, she pulled out a dog-leg knife and slashed at the Gouchen Sword with all her might.

With a crisp clang, the dog-leg knife snapped in two. However, under the immense force, Feng Wuhua's arm trembled, and even the Gou Chen sword slipped from her grasp, demonstrating Jiang Yunying's immense strength.

"Wife, come back!" Lin Ping shouted again. If he had martial arts skills, he probably would have rushed out long ago.

After the exchange, Jiang Yunying knew that she was no match for Feng Wuhua. If it weren't for the dog-leg knife that Lin Ping had specially prepared for her, she would probably have been killed. So she quickly retreated to Lin Ping's side and was protected by hundreds of private soldiers.

"Such power, what an interesting weapon." Feng Wuhua sneered, leaving a black shadow in the air before disappearing without a trace.

Her main task was to keep the two city lords in check, which is why she didn't have time to protect Lian Gui.

"My lady, are you alright?" Lin Ping asked with concern. He wanted to use an X-ray to check her condition, but he was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't.

Jiang Yunying shook her head and blamed herself, saying, "It's all my fault for being useless and not killing Lian Gui directly."

"Fighting and killing are what men should do. The City Lord's Mansion has my father, Yu'er, and husband, which is enough. My wife's main task is..." Lin Ping said seriously.

Jiang Yunying knew he was going to drive, and she had found evidence of it. She was even somewhat looking forward to his vulgar remark.

"It's to protect us!" Lin Ping nodded shamelessly.

These words almost made Jiang Yunying spit out a mouthful of blood; it was definitely more powerful than Feng Wuhua's Gouchen Sword.

You, Lin Ping, are a respectable man, even if your martial arts are a bit weak. You have done some great things. How can you keep saying that your wife will protect you? Can you... not bring Yu'er and Father along?
