I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

After throwing herself into Qin Li's arms, Wei Hongying couldn't resist reaching out and cupping Qin Li's cheeks in her hands, giving him several big kisses!

"With this powerful weapon, we'll surely make the Northern Mang cavalry suffer greatly!"

"Your Highness, you are truly amazing!"

After saying that, Wei Hongying went to kiss Qin Li again; she was just too excited!

Although Qin Li was enjoying it, he still stopped her, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't put the barbed wire there, Qin Feng did!"

Barbed caltrops!

It was one of the few powerful weapons Qin Feng created to resist the Northern Mang cavalry.

Wei Hongying was taken aback, pulled away from Qin Li's embrace, and frowned:

"How is that possible? How could that piece of trash have created barbed wire?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Li almost couldn't help but laugh.

He never said Qin Feng was a good-for-nothing in front of Wei Hongying!

Why does Wei Hongying have such a strong label of Qin Feng as a good-for-nothing? I wonder what Qin Feng did to offend Wei Hongying.

"It really is him, it really is."

Qin Li didn't want to take credit for himself, at least not yet.

"real?"

Wei Hongying still didn't believe it.

No matter how I think about it, it seems impossible.

However, judging from Qin Li's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.

Qin Li had no reason to lie to her about this matter.

"Fine, fine, he did it, so be it."

Changing the subject, Wei Hongying looked at Qin Li happily and said, "However, it was only under Your Highness's wise and powerful leadership that it was accomplished!"

"If you insist that Qin Feng created this all by himself, I absolutely do not believe it. Not a hundred, not a thousand, not a million times. If he could create caltrops by himself, I could give birth to ten sons for Your Highness all by myself!"

Wise and mighty!

This was the first time Qin Li had ever heard Wei Hongying flatter him, and to be honest, it felt strangely satisfying!

If Qin Li had a tail, it would definitely be soaring to the sky.

However, upon hearing the rest, Qin Li looked at Wei Hongying strangely.

Ten sons?

Wei Hongying really dares to think big.

If you have one child a year, it will take ten years to raise them!

Feeling Qin Li's gaze, Wei Hongying immediately lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

I wanted to slap myself for saying what was on my mind.

So embarrassing!

Wei Hongying really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

To ease the awkwardness, Wei Hongying quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, let's not talk about caltrops anymore. Let's talk about something else, something to deal with the Northern Mang cavalry?"

Qin Li nodded, picked up the strangely shaped spear from the table, and Wei Hongying followed suit.

This spear was similar to an ordinary spear, but longer, except that it had a barb at the tip!

Qin Li gripped the shaft with one hand and pointed to the spearhead with the other. "This spear is called the Hook-Sickle Spear. See the barb at the spearhead?"

Wei Hongying nodded. The reason why this spear was considered peculiar was that it had a barb that was different from ordinary spears.

As Qin Li gestured, he explained, "When facing Northern Mang cavalry, it can hook their hooves and pull their legs. When facing fallen cavalrymen, it can also be used like an ordinary spear to thrust forward and kill the enemy. The barbs on the side can also prevent the spear tip from penetrating too deeply!"

Wei Hongying nodded, understanding.

Her gaze shifted to another weapon on the table.

It was a giant longsword, the blade and hilt were the same length, the blade was long and wide, like an extended version of a guillotine.

Just as she was about to reach for it, Qin Li kindly reminded her, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself, it's a bit heavy!"

Wei Hongying didn't take it seriously. She was at the peak of the sixth rank; what weapon couldn't she lift?

Unexpectedly, the long sword suddenly slammed down, nearly cutting his own foot.

Wei Hongying was startled and quickly increased her strength to hold the long knife firmly.

With a couple of laborious swings, Wei Hongying put down the longsword and said, "Your Highness, why make this sword so heavy? Can it even cut down the Northern Mang cavalry? The Northern Mang cavalry are known for their speed!"

Infantry are already slower than cavalry, and if they were to use such weapons, they probably wouldn't even be able to see a cavalryman.

Qin Li put down his hook-and-sickle spear and explained, "This sword is called the Mo Dao. It wasn't originally used to pursue cavalry, but rather to directly confront them. Soldiers wielding this powerful long-handled sword, forming a square formation, can advance like a wall in actual combat. One Mo Dao wielder can take on a hundred men and horses!"

After listening to Qin Li's explanation, Wei Hongying understood.

However, she had to question whether the Mo Dao was as powerful as Qin Li had described.

Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see how the actual results speak for themselves.

After picking up the barbed wire from the ground one by one and putting it back into the sack, Qin Li suddenly said:

"Captain of the Guards, we now have the weapons to deal with the Northern Mang cavalry."

"But what often determines victory or defeat is people!"

"The Northern Barbarians have already captured Qingling Pass, and I believe it won't be long before they tentatively advance into the mountains!"

"We don't have much time left. In the meantime, I, the prince, hope that the Commandant of the Guards will ensure that his men become proficient in using these weapons!"

"Our first battle against the Northern Barbarians wasn't a resounding victory; in this second battle, I, the prince, hope for a complete and decisive triumph!"

Qin Li didn't call her by her name, but instead addressed her by her military rank of captain!

Even if Wei Hongying was stupid, she knew the seriousness of the matter.

She took a half step back, knelt on one knee, clasped her hands in a fist and said, "This humble general obeys the order and will certainly not fail Your Highness's trust!"

"If this battle is fought disgracefully again, I, your humble general, am willing to commit suicide to atone for my sins!"

After saying that, Wei Hongying's head slammed heavily to the ground.

……

at the same time!

The supply depot at the rear of the main army.

Qin Feng, as a captain in the supply battalion, has his own private sanctuary.

He built this shelter himself, and it is the most sturdy and durable of all the shelters. Even if the apocalypse comes, it can last for a year and a half!

Tonight, this shelter welcomed a guest, an uninvited guest: Su Chen.

"...That's how it is."

After listening to Su Chen's words, Qin Li frowned, stroked his chin, looked at Su Chen opposite him, and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Just now, Su Chen told him about Qin Li taking Wei Hongying to meet several Northern Mang prisoners during the day.

Wei Hongying almost got into a conflict with the general guarding the prisoners!

Qin Feng really didn't know why Su Chen had come all this way to tell him all this.

Could it be that she wants him, her fiancé, to stand up for Wei Hongying?

No need!

Although Wei Hongying is still his seventh prince's fiancée, it's only in name. Qin Feng has already made up his mind to draw a line between himself and Wei Hongying, so Wei Hongying's affairs are none of his business, and he doesn't even want to know.

Before answering, Su Chen got up like a thief, went to the door, peeked out a few times, and seeing that no one was paying attention, closed the door, sat back down, and said in a voice only he and Qin Feng could hear:

"Brother Qin, you may not know this, but the general who clashed with Wei Hongying today is named Wu Daxiong! He was a former subordinate of my grandfather!"

"He came to see me today with another person named Chen Gui. He previously mocked Wei Hongying for not knowing how to fight, and he's also one of my grandfather's former subordinates!"

"The two of them came to me together, wanting me to lead a military remonstrance."

A military coup!

Qin Feng's eyes widened, and he unconsciously lowered his voice, "Are they crazy? A mutiny against whom? Against my elder brother Qin Li?"

Su Chen nodded and said, "Qin Li is nepotistic. He doesn't use many generals and insists on giving Wei Hongying important positions. Everyone has objections."

"Any objections?"

Qin Feng angrily retorted, "Wei Hongying is a daughter of a military family, and a peak sixth-rank soldier. What's wrong with her leading troops into battle?"

"I see them as a bunch of grown men, defeated generals, and I'm just jealous!"

Although he had made up his mind to draw a line between himself and Wei Hongying, it did not mean that Qin Feng would smear Wei Hongying.

On the contrary, she felt that Wei Hongying was an extraordinary woman who, given time, would surely become a great general leading an army and leave her mark on history!

As for those generals, they clearly couldn't defeat the Northern Barbarians, yet they looked down on Wei Hongying, a woman. They were just looking for trouble.

Now, to still attempt a military coup is simply courting death.

"You agreed?"

Qin Feng looked at Su Chen.

"No way."

Su Chen waved his hand and said, "This matter is of great importance, and I can't make up my mind, so I came to ask Brother Qin for his opinion."

"Brother Qin, I think this is a great opportunity to get rid of Qin Li. Why don't we do it together..."

As he spoke, Su Chen made a knife-like gesture with his hand and cut his own neck, his meaning quite clear.

"No!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but slam his hand on the table in refusal, then quickly lowered his voice and said urgently, "They're crazy, are you crazy too?"

"Do you even know how powerful Qin Li is, or how many experts he has around him?!"

"How could a mere military remonstrance possibly bring them down?"

"Just look at the ninth-rank martial artists around Qin Li. Tell me, which of you can handle them? Are you, Su Chen? Or Wu Daxiong? Or Chen Gui?"

Su Chen shook his head; none of them were a match for them, they would only be utterly defeated.

But Su Chen refused to give up, saying, "Ninth-rank martial artists are few and far between; we can always win through a series of battles!"

"Pooh!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but spit and curse, "Trying to win by force? Don't forget, Qin Li's uncle is General Wang Hu, the Great General of Zhenwu!"

"Counting every one of you, who has more troops than Wang Hu right now?"
