Chapter 208 Attacking the Sky Wolf Stronghold

The following day, the mountaintop was shrouded in continuous rain, and the swirling fog obscured the path ahead.

Shi Nuanyu got up early and blushed under Hua Si'an's teasing gaze.

She fooled around with her own man, and everyone found out.

Hua Si'an circled around her, looking her up and down. "Goodness, the princess's frost disappeared as soon as the Crown Prince of Beilin arrived. What a strange thing!"

Is there really a disease in the world that can be cured by having sex with men?

The blush on Shi Nuanyu's face hadn't faded. She was also puzzled by this matter and would have to ask her mother about it when she got back.

Not wanting to dwell on the matter, she coughed awkwardly twice to change the subject.

"What are you planning to do with Tianlang Village?"

A fierce glint flashed in Hua Si'an's eyes, "At worst, I'll fight them to the death."

Longhushan and Tianlangzhai have a long-standing feud, and it will be settled sooner or later.

Shi Nuanyu pondered for a moment, "The current situation concerns me. If the chieftain doesn't mind, I would like to lend a hand."

A battle between the two villages is inevitable sooner or later, and since this matter was started by her, she cannot stand idly by.

Moreover, most of the villagers in Longhu Mountain are unarmed, so the chances of winning a fight to the death are slim.

Hua Si'an was overjoyed. "The princess's act is a timely help, how can I refuse it?"

It would be foolish to have someone help push it out.

Both of them were the type to act on their words, so they went into the main hall together and began to study the mountain range of Tianlang Village.

Looking at the mountain range on the map, Shi Nuanyu frowned slightly. "Tianlang Village is surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides, with only one path leading through."

One section involved building a bridge; if they destroyed the bridge, our men wouldn't be able to breach it.

"That's true, and that's why my adoptive father has been unable to conquer Tianlang Village for so long."

While her adoptive father was alive, he did attempt to attack, but each time he failed.

Hua Si'an pointed to the heart of Longhu Mountain on the map, "Although we can't attack Tianlang Village, Tianlang Village shouldn't even think about attacking Longhu Mountain."

There are many huge rocks on Longhu Mountain, and from the top of the mountain, the view is unobstructed; anyone lying in ambush can be easily spotted.

Shi Nuanyu pointed out the shortcomings: "Using boulders as a barrier is not a long-term solution. If Tianlang Village receives support for a strong attack, Longhu Mountain can be breached in just a few days."

From this perspective, the terrain of Longhu Mountain is indeed not as good as that of Tianlang Village.

Are there any skilled martial artists in the village?

Hua Si'an shook his head with a wry smile, "The people in the village are all refugees who fled from various places to survive. There are no skilled fighters among them."

That's why she didn't dare leave Longhu Mountain without permission after her adoptive father's death.

That makes things difficult.

Shi Nuanyu looked worried. She was not good at military strategy, nor did she know martial arts.

Therefore, taking down Tianlang Village seems extremely difficult.

"My lady wants to attack Tianlang Stronghold, why doesn't she ask for my opinion?"

After listening from the corner for a long time, Yu Changfeng walked into the main hall, casually glanced at the terrain of Tianlang Village, and already had a confident air about him.

Shi Nuanyu's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his sleeve tightly.

"Yes, how could I forget you?"

The Crown Prince of Beilin is skilled in both military tactics and strategy; how could she forget such a useful person?

Seeing how she regarded him as a precious treasure, Yu Changfeng felt quite proud and took her hand in return.

"Having helped Madam so much, does Madam have any reward in mind?"

After saying that, he gave her a suggestive look at her red lips.

When teased by a man like this, Shi Nuanyu blushed and stubbornly retorted.

"It is your honor to be able to help me, yet you dare to ask for a reward."

Seeing the woman's embarrassed and annoyed expression, Yu Changfeng's narrow eyes smiled gently as he squeezed her palm, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

"It is my honor to serve you, my wife, but you must be rewarded."

There are outsiders here.

Shi Nuanyu pulled her hand away in embarrassment and annoyance, "Let's talk about it after you can do it."

Since last night, this man had been calling her "Madam" so readily, as if afraid others wouldn't know what had happened between them. Hua Si quietly retreated to the side; she hadn't eaten lunch yet, but her stomach was already full.

Then she sighed again, wondering how her brother could possibly win against such a formidable opponent.
With Yu Changfeng's involvement, things became much easier.

The dark, oppressive sky seemed to have a gaping hole, and torrential rain poured down relentlessly, threatening to soak the earth dry.

The deafening sound of horses' hooves on the main road drowned out the sound of rain.

"drive……"

A group of cavalrymen galloped on their horses, splashing up large amounts of mud beneath their hooves.

"General, the rain is too heavy. We should seek shelter before continuing our journey."

Dan Baiyu rebuked sharply, "No! The slower we go, the greater the danger to His Highness."

Longhu Mountain borders the southern border, but is closest to the northern border. Once outside the territory of Nanyue, there is nothing that can be done about those people.

As the horses galloped, the soldiers stared ahead and suddenly shouted.

"General, there are two people blocking our way."

"Xu..."

Dan Baiyu tightened the reins; the rain soaked his entire body, but it couldn't obscure his eyes.

"They are acquaintances."

He dismounted and approached the approaching man, and the soldiers behind him abandoned their attack stance.

"Young Master Wei, Young Master Hua, have you made any discoveries along the way?"

The two men were covered in dust, and bloodstains from their swords slid to the ground, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place.

Before even putting away his longsword, he said, "We received a letter from the Imperial Advisor and intercepted all the bandits, but we couldn't find the assassins from Dongchen."

They fought their way through, their blood staining every main road and alley, and countless people who coveted Princess Nanyue lost their lives at their hands.

"The assassins from Dongchen have been intercepted and killed by the Crown Prince of Beilin. Now that we have met, let's go together."

Prince Yu Changfeng of Beilin had written to him well in advance; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly.

Hua Lingyan shook her head and refused, "We have other important matters to attend to. Your Highness, I'll leave it to you."

No matter which side Princess Nanyue falls into, they will be the biggest beneficiaries. They must kill all these people to eliminate future troubles.

Dan Baiyu knew the reason, so he stopped insisting.

"Take care of yourself."

They fought for Nanyue and for the people.

The rain in the mountains was getting heavier and heavier, and the area below the cliffs was slippery.

Shi Nuanyu and Hua Si'an led their men to ambush at the foot of the mountain. The straw hats on their heads could not shield them from the heavy rain, and raindrops slid down their hair.

At this moment, she couldn't care less about anything else; her expression was filled with worry as she stared intently at the group of people on the cliff.

With Yu Changfeng's help, conquering Tianlang Village was indeed much easier, but she did not expect it to be done in such a dangerous way.

Yu Changfeng led her guards up the cliff, while they stood guard at the crossroads, forming an encirclement. This way, the bandits could not escape from both sides.

Hua Si'an reminded her, "Princess, it's almost time. We need to ambush at the crossroads."

Shi Nuanyu bit her lip tightly, glanced worriedly at the person on the cliff, and got up without stopping.

"Walk."

Having made her choice, she cannot become a burden to everyone.

With a bow and arrows on her back, Shi Nuanyu quickly followed the group up the mountain.

The mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk on, but it could not stop her determination to wipe out Tianlang Mountain.

Upon arriving at the intersection, the group took cover as agreed.

Shi Nuanyu looked around and was surprised to find that the terrain here was excellent, with abundant vegetation. If she could make use of it…

Seeing her furrowed brows, Hua Si'an asked curiously, "What is the princess thinking about?"

I knew from the beginning that Princess Nanyue was quite shrewd, but now I realize she's not the delicate princess of the royal family.

She fled for two days, carrying no one on her back, and now she's fighting bandits with them. Throughout the process, she never uttered a single word of complaint.

How can a woman who is clearly unarmed possess such great strength?
