" Do you know her?" Lian Jiazhen asked looked at Li Hongli seriously.
" Yes, he's my friend. I deliberately told her to go towards Zhu empire to become a spy, yet like her they had realized the existence of both" Li Hongli replied calmly.
Hearing Li Hongli's reply which was indeed what he wanted to ask made him sigh with relief.
" What happened to the girl, did she get poison?" Lian Yu asked curiously
" Yelu and Ying Yue, the two of them were indeed injured maybe his old wounds were opened again to aggravate his injuries" not Li Hongli who replied but Yueyin.
" Ck, it turns out you're so cruel they're still hurt but you're telling them to be spies into enemy cages." Lian Yu said as if she was regretting Li Hongli's actions when she knew the situation where Yelu asked for permission.
" How else is there no one competent in the Lian empire, I can expect who else, prince Lian Jiazhen is facing the enemy in the vanguard, he said, then how could I ask prince Lian Yu to go to the lion cage that there is now no longer the name of prince Lian Yu" Li Hongli replied calmly and as if he was thinking.
What Li Hongli did made Lian Yu upset but could not do anything to her, if the two of them fought against her existing strength that would be severely beaten. He admitted that his strength was still very far from his sister's husband, even he did not know how great he was. However if only he had not seen Li Hongli's prowess before he would probably have thought the young man was just being bragged with a body without any Qi energy where he might be a great person.
" Li Hongli I have received a message from my father, after the imperial army arrives you will be their leader and lead the battle this time. I know father will not decide anything just like that, he must have considered all aspects, because father trusts you I will also trust you and lay down the lives of innocent citizens on you. Please protect them!" Said Lian Jiazhen clenching her hands and saluting Li Hongli to plead with her.
" The future prince you will be a wise emperor, the emperor Lian Haocun is not wrong to choose you as his successor, the Lian empire will be blessed to have a leader like you.... You don't have to do this to me, I did this because my wife Yue'er, she loves her family very much and won't let her people suffer. Of course I will also do various ways to continue to protect what makes her smile." Li Hongli exclaimed calmly and with such an authoritative aura.
" You're too complimentary. It's late let me take you to the tent I've prepared for you to rest." Her words.
" Have a good rest" Lian Jiazhen said before leaving after taking them to another tent to rest.
" Thank you Gege."
" Yue'er, you sleep first. I want to see Yelu and Ying Yue's condition first" said Li Hongli, who was nodded by Yueyin.

In one of the tents was seen Ying Yue still lying on her bed, yet she was already conscious. Yelu herself was helping the girl feed the medicine painstakingly.
" Do I interrupt your time! If so, I'll come another time!" Li Hongli shouted at the two.
" Mister." Exclaims Ying Yue was surprised to see who came, Yelu has indeed not said the whereabouts of Li Hongli.
Hearing the greeting from Ying Yue obviously the voice of the girl still sounded mute and weak Li Hongli only replied with a small nod.
" How are you feeling?" Ask her
" Good enough sir, it's just still hard to move the other limb." Answer her
" Hm... Yelu it's a good thing that both of you're not injured back, to now restore your condition calmly. Tomorrow morning come to prince Lian Jiazhen's tent and tell me everything that happened." He said to Yelu.
" Good sir."
Li Hongli left from there after saying his.

The sky was so bright the birds chirped and danced happily.
In the early morning blind, where people were still soundly sleeping but in this military camp everyone had woken up early and started training. As in one of the tents where Lian Jiazhen was located there were already a few additional people like Lian Yu, Li Hongli, and Yelu.
Liam Yueyin did not come with them because she was accompanying Ying Yue.
" Yelu! You can say everything in front of them." Said Li Hongli calmly, he had sealed the surroundings of the tent first before asking Yelu to speak.
" Good sir."
" The whole world is in danger, emperor Zhu is no longer the same emperor Zhu..." Yelu paused her remark making Lian Yu curious.
" Why stop, let's continue the story of what happened to the bastard emperor!" Lian Yu exclaimed with excitement.
" Yu'er is silent" exclaimed Lian Jiazhen staring intently at her sister, making Lian Yu silently not dare to make a sound.
" Me and Ying'er had heard Emperor Zhu's conversation with someone but unfortunately there was no one in the room. We also watched the movements of Emperor Zhu every day, but we once saw him talking to himself in a mirror, but the strange sound that was in the room like there were two different people... At first we were confused but it turned out that emperor Zhu was talking to the Demon King, but before we investigated further emperor Zhu had first realized our whereabouts, he attacked us until he was seriously injured, i and Ying'er managed to escape from her yet the entire imperial territory of Zhu had been sealed off from the outside world, and the imperial soldiers of Zhu continued to chase after us."
" Then how did you get out of the imperial border of Zhu?" Ask Lian Jiazhen
" It's all thanks to my master. I used the thing you gave me until we were able to get out of the bottomless pit, but before escaping Ying'er had received so many attacks that it left her severely injured" Yelu replied sadly.
" No need to worry, Ying Yue will recover soon. You better immediately increase your strength because a big war is about to happen" Li Hongli said with a cold tone and a flat expression.
" Good sir."
" Li Hongli? What do you think?" Ask Lian Jiazhen
" Yelu has made sure that my guess is correct, but after this act as if you know nothing" Li Hongli said calmly
" Huh.why should that be so, that bastard emperor has proven to be allied with demons we should have attacked him immediately before the Demon King took the body of that foolish emperor." Lian Yu said
" Prince Yu Wind even has ears" he replied indifferently.
Li Hongli's words were instantly understood by the three, not far from the tent indeed the three of them felt the aura of someone so faint but they were sure that the person was not the guards that Lian Jiazhen ordered.
" In my place, there was a wild beetle as it turned out... I'll get it straight!" Lian Jiazhen said she would rise, but was soon stopped by Li Hongli.
" Let him report first to his master" he replied calmly.
" Don't they let them know our plan."
" Look down, I have a plan for this. But prince you also have to think far ahead. If there's one intruder there'll be another possible intruder."
" You're right, we have to find all the traitors first or we'll make them alert if we catch just one!"
