I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Night falls.

After settling Jin Ge and the others in, Qin Li took Wei Hongying back.

On the way back, Wei Hongying couldn't help but ask, "Has Your Highness figured it out?"

The two of them went there today to test Jin Ge and find out what his true purpose was.

In any case, Wei Hongying couldn't figure out what Jin Ge was up to.

Even Jin Ge wasn't entirely sure if he was at the peak of the ninth rank.

Because there are some cultivation techniques in the world that can conceal one's aura, cultivation level, and even change one's appearance.

On the surface, Jin Ge's cultivation level is at the early stage of the sixth rank, which is not as high as hers.

But Jin Ge gives the impression that he is definitely more than a sixth-rank official.

"There are already some signs!"

Qin Li pushed open the door and led Wei Hongying into the shelter.

"What signs are we seeing?"

After Wei Hongying came in, she poured Qin Li a cup of hot water and handed it to him with both hands.

Qin Li looked at the hot water in his hand and smiled slightly.

Whoever says that Wei Hongying, the female warrior from a military family, can't be a virtuous wife and loving mother is talking nonsense!

After taking a sip of hot water, Qin Li said, "If you were the Empress of Northern Mang, would you heavily rely on Jin Ge, who is only at the sixth rank? And even call him your favorite general?"

Wei Hongying shook her head decisively.

of course not!

A sixth-rank martial artist!

While they may not be as numerous as hairs on a cow, they are certainly as numerous as the sands of the Ganges!

A sixth-rank martial artist might be highly valued elsewhere.

But in the Empress's eyes, they didn't even give her a second glance.

The Empress has better options, such as a ninth-rank martial artist or a grandmaster!

"Could it be that Jin Ge's outstanding quality isn't his cultivation level, but rather his wisdom? Judging from his speech today, he exudes a cleverness!" Wei Hongying said.

Qin Li shook his head. "The Empress of Northern Mang has too many choices. There are quite a few people with high cultivation and intelligence. Why did the Empress choose Jin Ge in particular?"

"Furthermore, if you were the Empress of Northern Mang, would you send a massive army to carry out this 'frightened bird' mission?"

Wei Hongying decisively shook her head!

Although I didn't get to know it in depth.

But today, everyone can see it.

The two princes of Northern Mang, Qianjun and Wanma, are not quite right in the head; they're like children who haven't grown up.

Because a pair of boots can spark an argument.

Like a frightened bird, one needs to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines and demand absolute obedience to avoid any unforeseen incidents.

Even though she knew that a large army would cause trouble, the Empress still sent them.

Hearing this, Wei Hongying also had some ideas in her mind.

I'm not entirely sure; I need more evidence to corroborate it!

Qin Li put down his water glass and told Wei Hongying not to think about it anymore. He would show Wei Hongying something.

Wei Hongying then noticed that there were many things on the table in the shelter that hadn't been there the night before.

A burlap sack, I don't know what's inside.

A strangely shaped spear!

A giant longsword!

Someone must have brought it in while the two were away during the day.

"What is this?"

Wei Hongying curiously reached her hand into the sack, wanting to see what was inside.

"Be careful!"

"what!"

Qin Li tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Wei Hongying had already put her hand inside, but then pulled it back as if she had been electrocuted, as if she had been bitten by something inside the sack.

Qin Li quickly grabbed Wei Hongying's wrist and found several wounds on her palms that were bleeding profusely!

After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Qin Li found gauze and hemostatic powder, and quickly used them to stop the bleeding and bandage Wei Hongying.

It took quite a while to clean up all the wounds.

Throughout the entire process, Wei Hongying sat motionless in the chair, letting Qin Li treat her wounds.

But her beautiful eyes remained fixed on the man beside her, warming her heart.

Those who say the eldest prince is a bad person are just rumors. The Qin Li she knows cares about her a lot.

Holding up her left hand, which was wrapped in bandages, Wei Hongying asked pitifully, "Your Highness, what exactly is in the sack?"

Qin Li patted her head in an annoyed tone. Wei Hongying was good in every way, except that she was sometimes too impulsive.

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Hongying reached in.

If you don't stick it in, you won't get hurt!

When her head was patted, Wei Hongying gently rubbed it with her uninjured right hand, unconsciously pouting.

She didn't do it on purpose.

Who knew that the contents of the sack would bite her several times.

Also, who brought such a dangerous thing in here?

That's why she put her hand in first; if Qin Li had put his hand in first, he would probably have been injured even more severely than him.

This man should be executed!

"Achoo ahchoo ahchoo!"

At that moment, Qin Feng, who was receiving Su Chen, who had suddenly arrived at his shelter, sneezed several times.

He delivered the items during the day.

"Brother Qin, are you alright?"

Su Chen asked with concern.

"fine."

Qin Feng rubbed his nose, signaling Su Chen to continue with the important matter...

……

Under Wei Hongying's watchful gaze, Qin Li picked up the sack and poured some of its contents onto the table.

Wei Hongying then realized that what had bitten her earlier were not living creatures, but cold, dead objects.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Wei Hongying leaned on the table and asked curiously.

Qin Li didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "What do they look like to you?"

On the table was an inanimate object, made of fine iron, with a solid iron lump in the center and four barbs growing around it!

Just now, her hand was pricked by a barb.

"Thorns, they look like thorns!"

When I was a child, my father often took the family to go on outings outside the city, and these thorny bushes grew everywhere along the way.

When Wei Hongying had nothing to do, she would pick caltrops and throw them at her sisters-in-law to play around with them.

"Yes, it's caltrop!"

"These are caltrops, specifically designed to deal with the Northern Mang cavalry!"

Qin Li handed a caltrop to Wei Hongying and asked her to take a closer look.

Looking at the caltrops in his hand, the barbs were indeed quite sharp, but could such a small thing really deal with the invincible cavalry of the Northern Barbarians? Are you kidding me?

Don't believe me?

Qin Li asked.

Wei Hongying placed the barbed wire on the table and gently shook her head.

The Great Zhou had considered similar methods to deal with the Northern Mang cavalry.

They planted spiked weapons diagonally into the ground to block cavalry.

However, the effect was not significant. The Northern Mang cavalry were fast and heavy, and those weapons could not be firmly planted. They could only stop the front cavalry.

The Northern Barbarian cavalry weren't blind; they would choose to go around them!

Qin Li laughed, "Then try throwing them on the ground."

Let's give it a try!

Wei Hongying casually threw the barbed wire on the ground.

A miracle occurred.

The barbed wire rolled several times after being thrown to the ground before landing steadily.

Supported by three sharp spikes, one of which points upwards, gleaming coldly!

"Throw it again!"

Wei Hongying didn't know what Qin Li meant, but she did as he said, throwing another caltrop on the ground.

The result was the same: three supports, with one spike pointing upwards!

"continue!"

Wei Hongying seemed to understand something, and simply dumped the entire bag of barbed wire onto the ground.

The barbed wire is supported by three spikes, with one spike pointing upwards!

No matter how you throw it or roll it, it's the same!

Wei Hongying's eyes widened in surprise.

Then, disregarding her image, she lay down on the ground, sticking her buttocks out, her eyes level with the barbed wire on the ground.

He even used his hand to test the stability of the barbed wire on the ground!

After trying it, she was completely amazed.

Not only are the barbed wire spikes small and highly concealed, but if thrown on the ground, they are virtually invisible unless you look closely, let alone the Northern Mang cavalry charging at high speed on horseback.

If they had discovered it beforehand, Wei Hongying would have changed her surname immediately!

Having solved the problem of easy detection, Wei Hongying was even more surprised by the stability of the barbed wire.

No matter how you throw it, there will always be one spike pointing upwards, just waiting for the warhorse to step on it.

After getting up from the ground, she looked at Qin Li, so excited that she couldn't speak coherently!

Seeing her like this, Qin Li happily stretched out his arms: "I told you, these caltrops are specifically designed to deal with the Northern Mang cavalry."

Wei Hongying nodded vigorously and threw herself into Qin Li's arms...
