After Xiao Yunci made the decision to stay and rest, Deputy Envoy Li came to find him immediately.

"Your Highness, why don't we go one more day? The people of Shuncheng..." Deputy Envoy Li gritted his teeth when he mentioned this matter. "The Tatars are really beasts. They kill thousands of people every day. There are only a few people in Shuncheng. If we arrive one day later, countless people will die at the hands of the Tatars."

"But if we travel thousands of miles and arrive at Shuncheng exhausted and haggard, how can we resist those Tatar soldiers who have eaten and drunk enough in Shuncheng?" Xiao Yunci looked at the soldiers who had collapsed from exhaustion before they even had dinner, and said slowly, "Look at them."

Deputy Envoy Li glanced around and knew that it was useless to be anxious. Instead, he fell into the Tatars' trap.

The Tatars would propose such conditions, which means they hope that the prince and the army will be exhausted. Once they arrive, they will be able to capture the prince without any effort. By then, not only Shuncheng but the entire Northern Ming will be destroyed.

Deputy Envoy Li understood this truth and knew that this matter could not be rushed. However, he still had a concern, and that was... the Crown Princess.

There is a reason why there is a clear ban on women in the army. The Crown Princess is too beautiful, which is distracting, and she is also weak, so the Crown Prince must take care of her and protect her. If this happens and the soldiers see her, it will shake the morale of the army, which will be bad.

Moreover, there are no eyes on this battlefield. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He cares so much about the Crown Princess. If something happens to the Crown Princess, and if the Crown Prince loses control of his emotions, what will happen?

Deputy Envoy Li imagined the scene of the Crown Prince going crazy. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He couldn't help but said, "Your Highness? That... I have always had a concern, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Because of the Crown Princess?" Xiao Yunci had already seen from his hesitant expression that he was worried about Wen Ning. He smiled faintly, looked back and said, "Ningning, bring the Worry-Free Sword."

Wen Ning was tidying up the simple marching tent. Her face and body were covered with dust. Her face was a little dirty. She wiped it casually with her sleeve and bent down to crawl out of the tent, looking a little embarrassed.

But even in such a miserable state, it could not hide her fair jade face and a pair of crystal clear and beautiful eyes.

Even though Deputy Envoy Li was about to burst out with dissatisfaction and worry, the moment he saw Wen Ning, his heart was moved, and he thought that it would not be a bad thing to have such a beautiful woman accompanying him on the march.

no!

Deputy Envoy Li quickly suppressed his erratic emotions and cursed himself in his heart - what are you thinking! Look, this is the disadvantage of having a woman, it makes me so unstable, let alone those young and energetic soldiers!

"Yan He, what's the matter?" Wen Ning held the Wuyou Sword, with the colorful sword tassel swaying on the hilt. She came to Xiao Yunci's side and looked at Deputy Envoy Li.

She found that Deputy Envoy Li's eyes were wandering, as if he didn't dare to look at her.

Wen Ning guessed some of the reasons.

She had long expected that she would get into some trouble because of her identity as a woman. Her father took her with him on everything except fighting. On the one hand, it was because the battlefield was dangerous, and on the other hand, it was because she was a girl.
