Chapter 779: Imperial Envoy

"If you don't understand Traveling Cultivation techniques, why did you let me promote to Traveling Cultivation?" Li Li Banfeng looked at Ayu with an icy expression.

Ayu looked innocent: "Old Seven, you can't blame me for this. Promotion is about things ripening and falling off naturally. Your Traveling Cultivation cultivation base is clearly above your Residential Cultivation. If I forced you to promote your Residential Cultivation, how much risk would I have to bear?"

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "Why is Traveling Cultivation above Residential Cultivation? Does it make a difference whether I use the human Qi I consumed for Traveling Cultivation or Residential Cultivation?"

Ayu shook her head repeatedly: "Little brother, promotion doesn't just depend on human Qi; it also depends on the time you've accumulated. No matter what level you reach, this basic principle remains unchanged.

You should have traveled to many places during these days, and most importantly, you must have experienced many dangers. In dangerous places, Traveling Cultivation promotes extremely fast, and it is reasonable for its speed to be above Residential Cultivation."

Li Li Banfeng didn't believe Ayu, but Zhao Zhao Xiaowan felt that Ayu's words made some sense.

Fierce battle with *Cheng Jun*, another battle with *Shu Wanjuan*, another battle with *Xiao Xiao Qianshou*, another battle with *Mu Zhou Yujuan*, stealing from *Yuan Yuan Miaoping*, and then a very difficult fight with Ayu and the Heavenly Lady. Li Li Banfeng had indeed experienced a bit too much danger recently, so it was reasonable for Traveling Cultivation to be above Residential Cultivation.

But Li Li Banfeng had sufficient human Qi on hand. Why did Ayu insist on choosing Traveling Cultivation?

If it was said that this move was purely to ensure Li Li Banfeng's safety, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan couldn't believe it. Li Li Banfeng wasn't that fragile, and Ayu wasn't that considerate.

What exactly was her purpose?

Ayu comforted Li Li Banfeng: "A great battle is imminent. Traveling Cultivators can come and go freely on the battlefield. It's a good thing to promote!"

"It's about the fighting!" Li Li Banfeng was even angrier, "I intended to use *Mysterious Light Punishing Evil* to kill the *Dangkou* Army in large numbers.

Now that this technique is gone, how are we supposed to fight the *Dangkou* Battalion?"

Ayu looked at Li Li Banfeng, very surprised: "Little brother, you just learned the technique and you want to kill enemies in large numbers? What do you take *Mysterious Light Punishing Evil* for?

Do you know how much consumption *Mysterious Light Punishing Evil* takes? Don't you take this technique for the laser cannons of the Outer Provinces? How much effort does it take to practice until the mysterious light shines everywhere?"

Ayu said excitedly: "Brother, fighting the *Dangkou* Army still depends on me. I've made the latest explosives, one blast kills a large area."

Ayu shook her head: "No."

Ayu sank her face: "You say no, so it's no? My brother hasn't spoken yet, what right do you have to point fingers at me?"

Ayu kicked Ayu: "Just because I'm your mother."

Ayu was unconvinced: "What's so great about being a mother? Without a brother, where would there be a mother?"

From a certain perspective, these words also made sense. Without Li Li Banfeng, Ayu couldn't have come to *Gourd Village*.

Ayu couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Ayu and shouted downstairs: "Sister, lend me a few blocks."

The little girl was very reluctant: "I'll lend them to you, but you have to return them. The blocks are always getting fewer and fewer."

A box of blocks drilled out from the floor. Ayu arranged the general layout of *Dingye City* on the ground.

It was very similar to the blueprint drawn by Zuo Anna. *Dingye City* was densely packed with grids, and the size and shape of the grids were all different.

There were rectangles, squares, and diamonds. The only common point was that all the grids had four walls.

Ayu looked at the blocks and shook her head slightly: "This is different from the *Dingye City* I saw."

Ayu said: "It's definitely different. The number of blocks is limited, so it's impossible to set up the entire *Dingye City*."

Ayu was very serious: "In *Dingye City*, there is no place that looks like this."

These words were clear. Ayu's purpose was very clear. This was telling Ayu that she had been to *Dingye City*.

She had opened a road leading to *Dingye City*, and this time was a restoration of the original road. Regarding a fierce battle, it was best for everyone not to play tricks in this matter.

Ayu poked Ayu with a finger: "What do you mean by this? Can your mother lie to you? Go to *Dingye City* and take a look now. Is the layout of this city still the same as what you saw before?"

Ayu said: "Sister, I know the land in the Inner Provinces will change, but a city shouldn't change beyond recognition."

Ayu shook her head: "*Dingye City* is different. This city has nine tripods. When these nine tripods don't move, *Dingye City* won't have too much change. But if these nine tripods change positions, *Dingye City* will change greatly. You came yesterday, and you might not even recognize it today."

Ayu didn't make a sound. She still had to verify this matter, but exploring the road to *Dingye City* had to be very careful. A slight carelessness would lead to leaking their tracks.

Ayu took the blocks and pointed to a diamond-shaped grid: "If different materials are boiled within the nine tripods, the layout in the city might even change in an instant. Even if Ayu has already found the location of the *Dangkou* Battalion, by the time you rush into this grid, it might not be the camp anymore."

Ayu shook her head: "Mother, isn't what you're saying too weird?"

"That's because you have little experience!" Ayu glared at Ayu, "I've suffered in *Dingye City*. At that time, it was just to cut off the food supply of the Inner Provinces. Now that the *Dangkou* Battalion is staying in *Dingye City*, think for yourself how much effort the Inner Provinces must have put in?"

Ayu was still unconvinced: "The road will be repaired tomorrow. When the time comes, let's see how much it has changed."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan advised: "Listen to sister finish first. Since *Dingye City* changes thousands of times, how does sister think this battle should be fought?"

Ayu said: "First, it must be accurate; second, it must be able to afford mistakes!"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan said: "Please explain in detail, sister."

Everyone present was a smart person, so Ayu didn't waste effort explaining, especially to Zhao Zhao Xiaowan: "To be accurate means that you must find the location of the camp accurately. If you can see the location of the *Dangkou* Battalion, you must lock the direction. When rushing into *Dingye City*, no matter where you land, you must run toward the location of the camp."

Li Li Banfeng said: "How can we fix the location?"

Ayu made a mark in the diamond block: "There are two ways. One is to use the *Fixed Plate Map* to directly lock the location of the camp. No matter how *Dingye City* changes, the *Fixed Plate Map* can point out the direction. It's just that the *Fixed Plate Map* is a rare treasure, and the Inner Provinces don't have many of them, so don't count on it."

*Whoosh~*

The small train puffed half a puff of steam and held back the other half.

He wanted to laugh, but couldn't. Although Ayu's ears were damaged, if he laughed too loudly, Ayu would still be able to hear it.

The small train had a *Fixed Plate Map*, which he had exchanged with Chu Shaoqiang for Chu Shaoqiang's *Heavenly Heart Stone*.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan said: "Sister, if there is no *Fixed Plate Map*, what should we do about this?"

Ayu looked solemn and sighed: "Then there's no way. I can only make a move myself. Relying on my lifelong learning, I will lock the location of the *Dangkou* Battalion and lead everyone to rush into the *Dangkou* Battalion."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan stared at Ayu for a long time.

Ayu frowned: "What are you looking at me for? I'm sincerely helping you fight! I'm a person from *Puluo Continent*. When fighting the Inner Provinces, I've never been ambiguous."

The old lady upstairs hummed: "Whose accountant is calculating on the abacus? The beads are all flying out!"

Ayu didn't argue with the old lady and continued: "Just being accurate isn't enough. This battle must also be able to afford mistakes, because *Dingye City* changes thousands of times, and going to the wrong place is inevitable. Plus, the Inner Provinces use some *Obstruction Techniques*, so making mistakes is also reasonable.

This is why Ayu isn't suitable for the battlefield. The methods she uses can't afford mistakes. Once explosives are detonated in a certain grid, it's equivalent to exposing our location. If we don't bomb the enemy's camp, the enemy will be fully on guard. When the time comes, not only will it be futile, but I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to escape."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan said: "Then who does sister think is suitable?"

Ayu looked at the Heavenly Lady. She felt she had guessed Ayu's purpose.

But she didn't expect Ayu not to mention the Heavenly Lady: "When I was in the *Dark Star Bureau*, I heard that *Disease Cultivation* had a rising star. This person is very suitable."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Are you talking about Cui Cui Tike?"

Ayu nodded: "This foreigner is said to have created techniques in *Disease Cultivation*. Let him send the disease source into the *Dangkou* Battalion. Even if he sends it to the wrong place, as long as we control it and don't let it break out, we still have a chance to respond."

Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly: "I'll go find Cui Cui Tike."

Ayu sent Li Li Banfeng to *Blade Dao Guiling* using *Gourd Village*. Cui Cui Tike was squatting in the temple, collecting divine statues on the sunflowers.

"My friend, you've come at just the right time. Among the divine statues I picked, a large portion belongs to you. Out of our friendship, I've helped you store these divine statues. Regarding our crystallization of joint research, I believe you also have a certain cognitive change—"

Li Li Banfeng looked around, fearing that these words would be overheard: "I am very grateful for the divine statues. I came to find you today to discuss a big business deal with you."

Cui Cui Tike lowered his voice: "Is it a very dangerous business?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "It is very dangerous, but the returns are very generous."

Cui Cui Tike asked again: "Do I need to leave *Blade Dao Guiling*?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I do."

Cui Cui Tike rubbed the divine statue in his hand and shook his head lightly: "Don't tell me. I'm afraid you'll leak the news, and I'm also afraid I won't be able to help but agree to you."

1

"Why can't you agree?"

"There are two reasons for this. The first is that I have accepted a very important mission recently and cannot easily leave *Blade Dao Guiling*.

The second is that I am under very strict surveillance. Once I leave *Blade Dao Guiling*, the Inner Provinces might discover my whereabouts, and all your plans might be exposed."

Li Li Banfeng was startled: "*Blade Dao Guiling* is under the surveillance of the Inner Provinces? Do you know the identity of the secret agent? Let's go get rid of him."

"It's useless," Cui Cui Tike shook his head, "The *Puluo Continent* is almost undefended, and I'm not good at avoiding surveillance and tracking. Before, when I launched a sneak attack on the *Tufang Country*'s vanguard camp and *Moye City*, I had a similar premonition. I destroyed a city, and the Inner Provinces will monitor my every move from now on.

And it's not just the Inner Provinces; I've discovered that the Outer Provinces are also monitoring me. I must adapt to this, because of the special sect,

I must survive in a position on the surface. Actually, this isn't bad. There are rules on the surface, but it's best not to know some things. This is very important for both you and me."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Can you reveal your recent important mission?"

Cui Cui Tike hesitated for a moment, unbuttoned his shirt, and there were still those five big characters on his chest: "I love *Puluo Continent*!"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I have never doubted your feelings for *Puluo Continent*."

Cui Cui Tike wiped his chest, and the five characters changed to three: "I love Great Shang Country!"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I am now very suspicious of your feelings for *Puluo Continent*."

The characters intersected on Cui Cui Tike's chest. Cui Cui Tike was trying very hard to explain something, but was also worried that Li Li Banfeng wouldn't understand.

Fortunately, the two had a deep tacit understanding, and Li Li Banfeng understood the basics after watching for a while.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Is this mission so complicated?"

Cui Cui Tike nodded and said: "I don't know if I can come back alive, but I have made very full preparations for this."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Your preparations aren't full enough. I still have to help you."

Cui Cui Tike looked at Li Li Banfeng's chest: "Show me."

"I won't show you for now," Li Li Banfeng shook his head slightly, "You just execute the original plan. The person who will help you will appear at the right time."

Leaving *Blade Dao Guiling*, Li Li Banfeng returned to *Gourd Village*. After arriving at the house, Li Li Banfeng asked Ayu: "If Cui Cui Tike can't go to *Dingye City*, what other good methods do you have?"

Ayu pursed her lips and said: "Although there are methods, I'm afraid you won't trust your sister. I just said that even if you learn *Mysterious Light Punishing Evil*, you won't be able to kill many enemies.

But this technique is different in the Heavenly Lady's hands. She has already practiced this technique to the realm of *Mysterious Light Shining Everywhere*. Wherever the mysterious light passes, within a radius of several miles, not a blade of grass will grow."

While speaking, Ayu took a block and placed it in the diamond-shaped area: "With the Heavenly Lady's help, as long as we find the right camp,

we will win in one strike."

Ayu took another block and placed it in a rectangular grid far away: "It doesn't matter if we find the wrong place. The Heavenly Lady can cast spells from afar. As long as we lock onto the camp, we still have plenty of opportunities."

Li Li Banfeng said: "After talking for so long, this is the real business, right? You don't want me to learn *Mysterious Light Punishing Evil* because you want to bring the Heavenly Lady out of *Gourd Village*, right?"

Ayu was slightly embarrassed: "Little brother, your words are too hurtful. I just advised you to take Cui Cui Tike, but that foreigner couldn't go himself, so I thought of the Heavenly Lady."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "You knew Cui Cui Tike couldn't go. Cui Cui Tike was monitored by the Outer Provinces, and the *Dark Star Bureau* must have news about him. These messages couldn't be hidden from you."

The woman next door hummed: "They all say beautiful women can lie. Your deceptive tricks are indeed brilliant."

Ayu's face was gloomy: "Since you don't trust me, why discuss anything with me? You can go fight the war yourselves!"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan didn't pursue the inside story. She was more concerned about the next steps of preparation. According to Ayu's description, *Dingye City* was indeed not easy to fight: "Does sister mean that even from tens of miles away, the Heavenly Lady has a way to send the mysterious light to the *Dangkou* Battalion?"

Ayu smiled: "What are tens of miles? Anyone who has touched the Red Lotus, even thousands of miles away, can be pursued by the Heavenly Lady. You should know about this."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan looked at the Heavenly Lady lying on the ground: "We have never doubted the Heavenly Lady's ability, but it's hard to say whether this Heavenly Lady in front of us can do it."

Ayu frowned: "There is only one Heavenly Lady in this world. If she can't do it, who else can?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan said: "If she were really capable, why didn't I see sister use the mysterious light when we fought?"

Ayu shrugged her eyebrows: "I was also taking care of our friendship at the time."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan smiled without a word.

The room was full of laughter.

Ayu whispered in Li Li Banfeng's ear: "Our big sister isn't reliable. Let's use explosives."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I think so too. If we bomb the wrong place, we'll blow through the wall and come back another way!"

Ayu picked up a block and told Li Li Banfeng and Ayu: "The walls of *Dingye City* cannot be blown through."

Ayu sneered: "I really want to see it."

Ayu looked very solemn: "The stones used to separate the areas in *Dingye City* are called *Indestructible Rocks*. Let alone your explosives,

even the Heavenly Lady's mysterious light couldn't burn through these rocks in the beginning."

Ayu looked back at the Heavenly Lady: "Is she that amazing? She can't burn through it, so I can't blow it up?"

"*Drawing a gourd to scoop the ladle*, this is not the time for you to be willful!" Ayu's tone suddenly increased. Regardless of other thoughts, she didn't want her daughter to die on the battlefield.

Ayu laughed: "If there really are such hard stones, why leave them in *Dingye City* as stone walls? Why not use them to make armor? I have never seen armor that can withstand my explosives."

Ayu placed the block on the floor: "*Indestructible Rocks* are stones that grow on *Dingye City*, just like crops, with roots and—

Once pulled out of the ground, these stones are no longer useful. Ayu, unless you can find the right place at once, your explosives will definitely not be able to blow through the stone walls. Even the *Broken Path Opening Road* of the old coal cart can't open these stone walls!"

Ayu didn't argue with Ayu. She went to Li Li Banfeng's ear and said: "Brother, come with me to check the explosives. This formula is much crazier than before."

"Much crazier than before?" Li Li Banfeng stood up, "Then I must see it."

Seeing Li Li Banfeng about to leave, Ayu hurriedly asked: "After you open the road, how do you plan to find the *Dangkou* Battalion? If you make a move in *Dingye City* and I stay in *Gourd Village*, you won't be able to borrow my *Comb Technique* with the *Deep House Courtyard*!"

Ayu was talking about business. The house on the clouds wasn't the *Follow-the-Body Residence*. If the battlefield was too far from the house, the *Deep House Courtyard* technique wouldn't be effective.

Li Li Banfeng turned his head: "Using the *Connecting Cave Persimmon*, it should be effective."

Ayu understood Li Li Banfeng's meaning. He wanted to connect this house to the small coal cart using the *Connecting Cave Persimmon*: "But this isn't a long-term solution. How long can you support the *Connecting Cave Persimmon*?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't say anything more and went to check the explosives with Ayu.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan stayed in the house: "Sister, I know you've fought in wars. Tell me more about the characteristics of *Dingye City*."

Ayu packed up the blocks and prepared to return them to the little girl downstairs: "What's the use of saying it? You don't trust me at all."

"I trust you," Zhao Zhao Xiaowan looked at Ayu sincerely, "If sister really wants to go to the battlefield, this matter can be discussed. If sister is sincerely helping us, everything can be discussed."

Lan Qiao Yi sat in the study, carefully reading a special document.

This document was written by the new monarch of *Luan Shang* himself, stamped with the imperial seal personally carved by *Xiao Xiao Chuanzi*, and delivered by Luo Su Lijun in person.

The content of the letter was about sending an imperial envoy to *Chaoge*.

"The new monarch of *Luan Shang* is sending an imperial envoy to *Chaoge* to inspect government affairs?" Lan Qiao Yi sneered and handed the letter to Nian Nian Shangyou.

After reading it, Nian Nian Shangyou also laughed: "This new monarch of ours doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and really thinks of himself as an emperor."

Lan Qiao Yi shook his head repeatedly: "Nian Shangyou, you're playing dumb with me again. This couldn't possibly be the new monarch's intention."

Nian Nian Shangyou said: "I suspect it's Li Qi making trouble again. I'll draft a letter and deal with him with two sentences."

Lan Qiao Yi shook his head: "We definitely can't just deal with it. This letter came from the new monarch's hand. If we refuse the imperial envoy, it wouldn't be reasonable.

Moreover, this move must have a probing intention. *Puluo Continent* is fighting *Tufang*, and although there is no war, there is constant friction. It is said that the Peddler has already made a move personally.

If we show hostility at this time, *Puluo Continent* will definitely be strictly on guard, which will be extremely unfavorable for a surprise attack in the future."

Nian Nian Shangyou confirmed: "My lord's intention is to receive this imperial envoy?"

Lan Qiao Yi nodded: "Receive him with the etiquette of a Prince."

Nian Nian Shangyou read the letter again: "This letter doesn't state the identity of the imperial envoy."

Lan Qiao Yi gave a bitter smile: "Who else could it be? It must be Li Qi coming to stir up trouble again. Although we use the etiquette of a Prince, keep everything simple.

When replying, emphasize that we will only receive him in *Chaoge* and absolutely must not let him go to *Xiao City* again."

The next day, there was chaos in front of Lan Qiao Yi's mansion. A group of officials and local feudal lords came to Lan Qiao Yi to reason.

Nian Nian Shangyou was anxious: "My lord, they don't know where they got the news, but they all know Li Qi is coming to *Chaoge* and insist on asking you for an explanation."

Lan Qiao Yi was a *Peerer*. Just by listening to the noise, he could judge how many people were outside the mansion: "Only a few hundred came,

better than I expected."

Nian Nian Shangyou pointed in the direction of the port: "My lord, there are many more people on the way to *Chaoge*. When Li Qi comes tomorrow,

I don't know what *Chaoge* will become!"

"It won't be chaotic," Lan Qiao Yi stood by the window, carefully listening to the shouting outside, "They want an explanation, so we'll give them an explanation. Since Li Qi dares to come, I'll let Li Qi suffer a big loss, and he'll have to suffer in silence!"

Seeing Lan Qiao Yi was confident, Nian Nian Shangyou also felt a bit more at ease.

Another day passed, and it was the day of the imperial envoy's visit. *Chaoge* was even more lively, and Lan Qiao Yi's door was packed.

Some brought the *Liren*'s contracts to seek justice, some brought weapons to kill Li Qi, and several *Qingdafu* (high officials) with great literary talent wrote a *Text of Punishing the Thief*, listing Li Qi's ten crimes, intending to open a public court and try and convict him directly in *Chaoge*.

A *Qingdafu* took the lead and shouted: "Strip him of his title, behead him, and rectify the bright universe!"

The people outside echoed one after another, the sound like a tsunami and thunder!

Nian Nian Shangyou entered the mansion from the back door and hurried to the study: "My lord, it's not good, the imperial envoy is coming soon!"

Lan Qiao Yi stood up, straightened his clothes, and said indifferently: "No need to panic. This is just the right time. I'll make Li Qi apologize, and he won't have half a complaint."

Nian Nian Shangyou shook his head: "My lord, it might not be Li Qi who is coming."

Lan Qiao Yi was stunned: "Then who is it?"

"Just received a secret report, early this morning, Cui Cui Tike left *Blade Dao Guiling* and went to the *Soda Kiln*."

"Ah?" Lan Qiao Yi widened his eyes, his body swayed, and he almost couldn't stand firm, "Why is he here? He's an alien! How can he be an imperial envoy?"

Nian Nian Shangyou's beard trembled with anxiety: "My lord, don't worry about these details for now. What should we do if he comes?"

Lan Qiao Yi ordered: "Quickly notify the navy to be strictly on guard. Absolutely do not let this person board the ship!"

Nian Nian Shangyou nodded: "I'll have the navy sink his ship directly!"

Lan Qiao Yi was furious: "Are you crazy? Can the imperial envoy's ship be hit? Wouldn't this leave a handle for others? Just force him back!"

Cui Cui Tike was right; Great Shang's attention on him was too high. *Chaoge* sent out more than ten warships to meet Cui Cui Tike twenty miles away.

The Luo family specially prepared a passenger ship for the imperial envoy. Cui Cui Tike stood on the deck, preparing to visit the soldiers who came to meet him.

The soldiers were at a loss.

This was the imperial envoy's ship, and there was Lan Qiao Yi's order, so they definitely couldn't attack.

But if they didn't attack, this imperial envoy would come over!

The warships retreated all the way and immediately sent a letter to Lan Qiao Yi.

Lan Qiao Yi had no choice but to let Nian Nian Shangyou go to meet the imperial envoy.

Nian Nian Shangyou looked horrified: "My lord, I'll go meet—"

Lan Qiao Yi nodded: "This matter is important, be very cautious."

"My lord, what's the use of just being cautious? What can I use to resist this guy—"

Nian Nian Shangyou didn't want to go, but was forced by Lan Qiao Yi. Walking all the way to the port, the entire *Chaoge* city was much quieter.

The various feudal lords heard that it was the *Disease Cultivator* Cui Cui Tike who was coming, so no one sought justice anymore. They all went to the port to look for ships, fearing they would be a step too slow.

Nian Nian Shangyou took a ship to meet Cui Cui Tike. He thought the two sides would shout at each other from the ships, but he didn't expect the enthusiastic Cui Cui Tike to come to Nian Nian Shangyou's ship.

Cui Cui Tike wanted to shake hands with Nian Nian Shangyou.

Nian Nian Shangyou bowed slightly: "Shang doesn't perform this etiquette—"

"I know, Great Shang people are all enthusiastic!" Cui Cui Tike gave Nian Nian Shangyou a hug.

As a fish, the moment he was hugged by Cui Cui Tike, Nian Nian Shangyou's face turned pale.

Ma Ma Junyang saw everything clearly in *Boundless City*. There should be no need to worry about Cui Cui Tike's side.

Luo Luo Yanjun said: "Ma Junyang, *Tianyi City* has come over."

Qin Qin Xiaopang said to Ma Ma Junyang: "Fifth brother, we should go to *Hao City*."

Xiao Yeci asked carefully: "Is that *Tianyi City* the same as this one? Are they all turned from bugs?"

Fang Erdao smiled: "Yes, they are all turned from bugs, and they'll eat you in one bite!"

Ma Ma Junyang looked back at everyone. These people were absolutely reliable, but he felt they weren't suitable for fighting.

He He Yuxiu laughed: "What are you afraid of? Didn't Old Seven say it? We don't have to win the battle, just make some noise!"

Hearing that Cui Cui Tike was getting closer and closer to *Chaoge*, the nobles gathered at the port were in a mess. To grab a ship leaving the port,

many people started fighting.

He He Jiaqing disguised himself as an attendant and took advantage of the chaos to mix into the first layer of the city.

Ayu opened the entrance to *Dingye City*. In front of her was a field of crops.

Just yesterday, Ayu had explored the road. This place was originally a camp, but now there were no tents or soldiers to be seen, only many granaries and laborers working.

Ayu was right; in one day, *Dingye City* had changed again.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan looked solemn. This battle was not easy to fight.

Hong Ying tightened her spear, waiting for Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's order.

Jiu'er helped Jiang Linger organize her silk threads. Jiang Linger hadn't been out for a long time, and the strange environment made her a bit nervous.

Ayu looked happy: "Why don't we burn their food?"

Ayu scolded: "What time is it, and you're still making trouble? Move the exit ninety-six miles to the north!"

"Ninety-six miles? So precise?"

Ayu nodded: "I smelled the smoke in the camp."

PS: The Battle of *Dangkou* has begun. ===== CHAPTER 780 =====
