Xiao Yunci's eyes suddenly deepened and his breathing became rapid.

"Ningning..." Xiao Yunci's voice was hoarse. The hand that was holding her had countless blue veins on the back of his hand. He was using all his strength to restrain his instinct in this simple military tent.

"You use your beauty trick, and no man in this world can escape it."

Wen Ning seemed a little embarrassed and slowly lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her jade-white face. Her face was only the size of a palm, and the outline of the shadow flowed, breathtakingly beautiful.

Xiao Yunci couldn't restrain himself, he leaned over and grabbed her forcefully, until she was out of breath, then he gently let her go, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take you back to Beijing after the war as soon as possible."

Wen Ning's heart moved, and she thought secretly, I hope this sentence can come true.

Wen Ning was held in Xiao Yunci's arms. In the darkness, she listened to his heartbeat and the low sound coming from his chest, and listened to him talk about his plans.

The Northern Ming did have Tatar prisoners of war, but their number was small, only about a dozen or so.

Tatar had already "invited" Xiao Yunci to go to Shuncheng alone and hold a grand dinner in Shuncheng to "discuss major issues together."

This was undoubtedly a Hongmen Banquet.

Wen Ning's heart tightened when she heard this, "Do you want to go?"

Xiao Yunci said in a deep voice, "Of course I will go."

Xiao Yunci was preparing to go to Shuncheng alone to accept the Hongmen Banquet. He would exchange Tatar prisoners of war for the banquet and give them the rare treasures he brought with him. He would pretend to negotiate peace with them at the banquet in exchange for temporary peace and for the Tatars to stop slaughtering innocent people in Shuncheng.

The Tatars have arranged a lot of spies. The most powerful one has spent many years and has become the attendant of Bigler's brother, the Prince of Suinan. The attendant has obtained the troop distribution map of Shuncheng. Taking advantage of this banquet, Xiao Yunci asked Bigler to take the troop distribution map back.

"It will take another ten days for the reinforcements to arrive. It will be a siege that will gather all the forces of the Northern Ming." Xiao Yunci said, "For the sake of the people of Shuncheng, we need to arrive as quickly as possible, but in order to win this battle, we need to delay as slowly as possible."

"Bigler and Suinan entered Shuncheng and passed Beiyangguan, which means they have penetrated deep into the heartland of Northern Ming. They rely on the entire Tatar behind them. We don't have enough troops, so it's difficult to attack Shuncheng. We can only hold a stalemate with Shuncheng. Once the reinforcements arrive, as long as we cut off Beiyangguan and block their connection, it will only be a matter of time before we capture Shuncheng."

Wen Ning looked at him silently in the darkness.

Xiao Yunci gently stroked her back, "Don't worry, I have someone to rely on. There are not only Tatars at the banquet, we have quite a few people as well. Be careful, nothing will happen."

How can I not worry?

Although everything would be easy after the reinforcements arrived, there were still ten days to go. Why did Bigler arrange this banquet and let Xiao Yunci go alone? Wasn't it just to humiliate Xiao Yunci? Maybe he had already prepared a trap for Xiao Yunci.

No matter how powerful Xiao Yunci is, three punches cannot defeat four hands.

Wen Ning's face was pale and she hugged his waist tightly.
