Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 238 Border emergency

"Okay, I'll give you a group of men and some supplies. You'll set off immediately and be sure to be careful."

Chu Shizhao said.

"Yes!"

Su Yao took the order and left.

Chu Shizhao began to arrange other matters, strengthening the defense of the capital and reorganizing the army.

A few days later, news came from the border that a small group of Northern Di troops began to provoke on the border.

"Humph, it seems they can't wait any longer."

Chu Shizhao sneered.

"Your Highness, do you want to send troops to teach them a lesson?"

Li Batian asked.

"Hold on for now and see what they are up to."

Chu Shizhao said.

Just then, Hengyi hurried over.

"Your Highness, there is news from Su Yao."

"Tell me, what's the news?"

Chu Shizhao asked hurriedly.

Hengyi presented a secret letter, "This was sent urgently by Su Yao."

Chu Shizhao quickly opened the secret letter and his expression gradually became solemn.

"The Beidi reinforcements this time are indeed instigated by that mysterious force. They intend to seize several important towns on the border in one fell swoop while our country's civil strife has just been quelled and its national strength has not yet recovered."

Chu Shizhao said in a deep voice.

"Damn it! These guys are so greedy!"

Li Batian clenched his fists.

"Moreover, Su Yao said in the letter that she discovered a secret contact point between Beidi and that mysterious force."

Chu Shizhao continued.

"Secret contact point?"

Hengyi's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, can we send someone to take it away?"

Chu Shizhao shook his head. "Don't act rashly. We don't know the specific situation there yet, and we don't know how much defense there is. If we act rashly, it is likely to alert the enemy."

"Then what are you going to do, Your Highness?"

Li Batian asked.

"First, send someone to secretly monitor that contact point to see who's coming in and out, and figure out their patterns."

Chu Shizhao said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes!"

Hengyi took the order and left.

"Batian, go inform the border guards and have them take a defensive stance at the border, but don't take the initiative to attack. Also, strengthen patrols to prevent small groups of Beidi troops from making surprise attacks."

Chu Shizhao instructed Li Batian.

"understand!"

Li Batian turned and left.

Chu Shizhao sat alone in the study, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

This mysterious force is deeply hidden and is in collusion with the Northern Di. It is really a big trouble.

A few days later, news came from the people monitoring the secret contact point.

"Your Highness, in the past few days, we have discovered that some unidentified men in black have been frequently entering and leaving the contact point, and a senior general of Beidi has also been there once."

The subordinate reported.

"Men in black? It seems this mysterious force is not simple."

Chu Shizhao muttered to himself.

"Your Highness, do you want to start now?"

The subordinate asked for instructions.

"Wait a little longer until we understand their action plan."

Chu Shizhao said.

A few days later, Su Yao came back.

"Your Highness, I'm back."

Su Yao walked into the study.

"How's it going?"

Chu Shizhao asked anxiously.

"Your Highness, I used my previous connections to get to know a small leader in the Beidi army. I learned from him that the Beidi army is preparing to launch a large-scale attack in half a month."

Su Yao said.

"Half a month later?"

Chu Shizhao frowned, "Time is running out."

"Moreover, I also learned that the mysterious force provided Beidi with a batch of sophisticated weapons."

Su Yao continued.

“No wonder they are so confident.”

Chu Shizhao snorted coldly.

The next second, Chu Shizhao turned and drove towards Su Yao.

"You have done a great job this time. I will arrange for you to have a good rest. Leave the rest to me."

After Su Yao left, Chu Shizhao immediately summoned Li Batian and Hengyi.

"The Northern Di are preparing to launch an attack in half a month. We don't have much time."

Chu Shizhao said seriously.

"Your Highness, let's quickly mobilize our troops and strengthen the border defense."

Li Batian said.

"Defense is one thing, but we can't just passively take a beating."

Chu Shizhao looked serious, "I think we should take the initiative this time!"

"Take the initiative? Your Highness, are you planning to..."

Hengyi spoke tentatively.

Chu Shizhao looked at Hengyi and said, "Yes, we need to send people to destroy the weapons that the mysterious force provided to Beidi."

Li Batian was puzzled, "But we don't know where these weapons are hidden."

"This depends on the secret contact point we monitored before."

Chu Shizhao said, "I think we might be able to find clues there."

"Your Highness is wise!" Heng Yi praised.

"Hengyi, you lead a team of elite soldiers to sneak into the secret contact point and see if you can find any clues to where the weapons are hidden."

Chu Shizhao ordered.

"Yes!"

Hengyi took the order and left.

"Batian, you continue to strengthen the defense of the capital, and be ready to support the border at any time."

Chu Shizhao said to Li Batian again.

"understand!"

Li Batian responded.

Hengyi led a team of elite soldiers and quietly approached the secret contact point under the cover of night.

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

Hengyi said in a low voice.

Everyone carefully entered the contact point, but found that there was no one inside.

"Strange, where did everyone go?"

Hengyi asked doubtfully.

Suddenly, one of the men found a map in the corner.

"Commander Heng, look at this map."

The subordinate handed the map to Hengyi.

Hengyi unfolded the map and looked at it carefully, and found a location marked on it, which seemed to be where the weapons were hidden.

"Let's go check this place out."

Hengyi said.

Following the instructions on the map, everyone arrived at a valley.

"This is it."

Hengyi looked at the valley and said in a low voice.

The valley was heavily guarded, with Northern Di soldiers patrolling everywhere.

"How can we get in with so many guards?"

one of his men asked.

Hengyi thought for a moment and said, "Everyone, find a place to hide first, and wait for me to think of a solution."

Just then, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

"somebody is coming."

Hengyi said in a low voice.

I saw a group of men in black escorting several prisoners towards the valley.

"What's going on?" Hengyi was puzzled.

The man in black came to the front of the valley, talked to the guard for a few words, and then went in with the captives.

“Is this an opportunity?”

Hengyi's mind moved and he immediately had an idea in mind.

She turned around and whispered to the elite soldiers around her: "Let's quietly follow those men in black and find a chance to sneak into the valley."

"Once we get in, we'll act according to circumstances and make sure we find where the weapons are stored."

……

Soon, the men in black brought the captives to a tent.

Hengyi and others seized the opportunity and quickly approached the tent while the guards' attention was drawn.

"You guys, stay here and keep an eye out for any movement. The rest of you, follow me in."

Hengyi said in a low voice.

Then, she sneaked into the tent quietly with several nimble men.

Inside the tent, the man in black was talking to a Beidi officer.

"These prisoners were captured from a nearby village. They said they found some suspicious signs. They might be related to the spies from the Southern Dynasty."

A man in black said.

The Beidi officer frowned and said, "Interrogate them carefully. If there really are spies from the Southern Dynasty, they must not be let go."

Hengyi hid aside, secretly delighted, thinking this was a good opportunity to obtain information.

Thinking in her heart, she immediately whispered a few words to the guards behind her.

Then, the man tiptoed quietly to the rear.

While the other party was off guard, he acted decisively and knocked the lone man in black unconscious with a single blow.

Hengyi quickly changed into the clothes of the man in black and walked out with a swagger.

"Sir, I was just patrolling outside and heard some noise over here, so I came over to take a look."

Hengyi deliberately lowered his voice and spoke.

The Beidi officer glanced at him and said, "It's none of your business. Go patrol the area properly."

"Yes, sir, but I heard that our weapons this time are hidden in this valley. Such important things must be carefully guarded."

Hengyi said tentatively.

The Beidi officer snorted, "You don't even need to tell me that. The weapons are hidden in a cave deep in the valley, surrounded by traps and mechanisms. If those people from the Southern Dynasty dare to come, they will never come back."

Hengyi was delighted as he finally found out the location of the weapons.

He quickly responded, "Your Excellency is very considerate. I will go on patrol now."

After leaving the tent, Hengyi found his other men and said, "The weapons are in a cave deep in the valley. There are traps around them. We have to be careful."

Everyone cautiously groped their way deeper into the valley.

Along the way, they avoided many patrolling soldiers.

"Be careful, there may be a trap ahead."

Hengyi reminded.

It’s just that she had just finished giving her instructions.

The next second, one of the men accidentally stepped on a loose stone.

In an instant, a row of spikes suddenly shot out from the ground.

It was because of the subordinate's agility and quick reaction that he was able to dodge in time.

"Everyone be careful and follow me."

Hengyi gave another warning before continuing to lead his men to sneak towards the cave. …

When they finally managed to sneak near the cave.

However, he discovered that there were dozens of Beidi soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the cave.

"With so many guards, it's impossible to force your way in."

One of the men said.

Heng Yi thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I will find a chance to distract these guards, and then you can take the opportunity to sneak in."

"Remember, your movements must be..."

However, before she could finish her words, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.

After hearing the noise, the Beidi soldiers who were patrolling previously immediately gathered towards the source of the noise.

As for what this sudden movement was about.

It’s actually very simple.

These were the men that Hengyi had arranged outside before. Seeing that Hengyi and his men had been slow to act, they were worried that Hengyi might have run into some trouble, so they deliberately created some noise in an attempt to help share some of the pressure.

You know, Hengyi is the woman of their Prince Jin. If something happens to the princess, even if they return alive, they probably won't have the face to see Chu Shizhao again.

Little did they know that it was their momentary kindness that allowed Hengyi, who had been unable to find an opportunity for a long time, to finally find one.

"Now, come on!"

While most of the Beidi soldiers had been lured away, Hengyi immediately gave a decisive order.

Therefore, before the remaining guards could react, they were quickly dealt with by Hengyi and others.

"found it!"

Hengyi said excitedly.

"General, what should we do next?"

one of his men asked.

"Destroy these weapons."

Hengyi said, "Everyone, split up and gather all the weapons together, then set a fire, and we'll be done."

However, before they could take any action, a burst of shouting and killing suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Oh no, maybe the enemy has discovered us."

Hengyi said, "Forget about the weapons, retreat quickly!"

Everyone rushed out of the cave, but found that the entrance had been blocked by Beidi soldiers.

"Kill out!"

Hengyi shouted and took the lead to rush towards the enemy.

Although Hengyi and his men were brave, the Beidi soldiers were numerous and gradually surrounded them.

"Commander Heng, this is not a solution!"

One of the men said anxiously.

Hengyi gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone hold on, I will find a solution."

Just then, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the valley.

"It's reinforcements!"

Hengyi shouted in surprise.

It turned out that Chu Shizhao was worried, so he sent Li Batian with a team of people to provide support.

Li Batian was born with supernatural powers, and the giant black iron sword in his hand made him an invincible killing weapon.

In just a blink of an eye, he took the lives of three or four Beidi guards.

Seeing this man so ferocious, the remaining Beidi soldiers were suddenly thrown into chaos.

"kill!"

But Li Batian doesn't care about that.

The order he received was to bring Hengyi and the others back safely.

Now seeing Hengyi and the others being surrounded, he was already blood-thirsty.

Wherever he went, enemies fell.

Hengyi took the opportunity to lead his men out of the encirclement.

"Hengyi, are you okay?"

Li Batian asked.

"I'm fine. We've almost destroyed the weapon."

Hengyi said.

"Okay, let's go back and report to His Highness."

Li Batian said.

Chu Shizhao was anxiously waiting for news in the palace.

Seeing Hengyi and Li Batian return safely, I felt relieved.

Hengyi nodded at Chu Shizhao, "Your Highness, we have almost destroyed the weapons, but we were discovered by the enemy when we were evacuating. Thanks to General Li for coming to our rescue in time."

Chu Shizhao was overjoyed when he heard this. "You did a great job. This time we destroyed their weapons, which will surely disrupt Beidi's attack plan."

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Chu Shizhao pondered for a moment, "Although we have destroyed their weapons, the Northern Di will definitely not give up. We must continue to strengthen the border defense and send people to closely monitor the movements of the Northern Di."

"Yes!"

Li Batian and Hengyi responded.

Chu Shizhao paused and continued, "In addition, Su Yao still needs to continue to inquire about the news of the mysterious force. This force will always be a hidden danger if it is not eliminated."

A few days later, news came from the border that the Beidi's attack plan was forced to be postponed because their weapons were damaged.

Chu Shizhao pondered for a moment and said faintly, "It seems that our actions have worked."

However, at this moment, Su Yao ran in in a panic.

"Your Highness, this is bad! I discovered that the mysterious force seems to have made new moves."

Su Yao said anxiously.

Chu Shizhao asked hurriedly, "What's the new move? Tell me!"
