Chapter 694 Request for Support
Lian Yi couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart, and her heartbeat quickened slightly.
She subconsciously glanced at the overlapping shadows on the ground with the corner of her eye, and sighed in her heart: "It would be great if it were not just shadows."
This thought flashed through her mind, but it made her feel a little complicated.
Lian Yi took a deep breath and said, "I have something else to say. Since this was Miss Niu's idea, can we take her with us when we go? With her intelligence and talent, she might be able to provide us with some help."
After hearing this, General Li frowned slightly. He felt that there was something wrong with this matter.
On the one hand, Nier is not a military member, so it seems inappropriate to let her participate in military operations; on the other hand, he cannot make such a decision on Nier's behalf.
General Li was silent for a moment. He looked at Lian Yi and said, "I will ask her what she thinks, and then decide whether to let her participate in the operation."
Lian Yi saw this and quickly responded, "Yes."
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. "I didn't expect General Li to be so considerate of others. Why can't that person be me?"
Lian Yi walked out of the tent with a gloomy face. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and she swept coldly across Ni'er's tent.
"Little girl, don't blame me for being cruel. It's you who blocked my way." She thought to herself, with a barely perceptible sneer on the corner of her mouth.
At this time, Nie'er was chatting and laughing with the princess in the tent, completely unaware of Lian Yi's thoughts outside.
However, at this moment, Nier suddenly sneezed without any warning.
This sudden sneeze surprised even her. She couldn't help but mutter, "Hey, why did I sneeze for no reason? Is someone saying something bad about me behind my back?"
Seeing this, the princess smiled and said comfortingly, "Perhaps it's a little cold in this tent, and you just caught a cold."
Nier nodded, but she still felt a little uneasy. She felt that the sneeze was a little strange.
Not long after, Ni'er suddenly heard a voice calling from the door: "Is Miss Niu there? General Li wants to see you."
The sudden sound made the princess feel confused. She turned to look at the door and muttered to herself, "What could it be?"
Seeing this, Nier stood up without hesitation, walked quickly to the door, and responded: "I'm here, I'll be right there."
Seeing this, the princess quickly put down the fruit in her hand and quickly followed, muttering, "I'll go with you to take a look."
The two of them came to General Li's tent together.
Ni'er and the princess stepped forward, and General Li didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, saying, "I've already discussed the suggestion you made earlier with others."
"There's a general named Lian Yi who's willing to take on this mission, so I'd like to ask you if you'd be willing to go with her?"
"That way, if you encounter any problems, you can also offer advice."
The figures of several generals kept flashing through Nier's mind, but after thinking carefully, she found that there was no one named Lian Yi among them.
At this moment, Nier's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration. She seemed to have thought of something and blurted out, "Could it be that female general?"
The other party seemed surprised by Ni'er's guess, but quickly gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."
Hearing this answer, Nier's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the moment when she passed by General Lian Yi.
Although it was just a brief glance, she could sense an uncomfortable aura emanating from General Lian Yi.
Ni'er thought to herself that since she had this feeling twice, she definitely couldn't go, so she quickly thought of a way to refuse.
"If I really go with General Lian Yi, I'm afraid those soldiers may not obey my orders."
"General Lian Yi has extensive experience in leading troops in battle and setting ambushes to annihilate the enemy."
"Comparatively, my understanding of this area is too superficial. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle such a task. It's better for me not to go."
After the rejection, an indescribable sense of relief came over me.
When General Li heard Ni'er say this, he did not force her to continue following him.
His tone softened. "Okay, you can tell me anything you think. I was indeed inconsiderate before and shouldn't have let you go with me."
Ni'er couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She never thought that the prince would take the initiative to apologize.
After all, the gap between their status is so huge. She is just an ordinary woman, while he is a high and mighty prince.
Nier couldn't believe her ears. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll tell you everything I think. But in case something goes wrong..."
However, General Li seemed to have anticipated her concerns. He interrupted Ni'er without hesitation and said firmly, "I am the general. The decision was made by me. If anything goes wrong, I will bear the responsibility. It has nothing to do with you."
General Li's promise made Ni'er feel extremely relieved, and she finally put aside her worries.
When Lian Yi heard that Ni'er would not go with the troops, he was immediately furious and his teeth were chattering.
He cursed angrily, "That damn girl, isn't she always eager to flirt and show off in front of the general? Why isn't she going with you now?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the anger in her heart burned more and more fiercely.
However, suddenly, she seemed to realize something and frowned.
"Could it be... that she saw through my plan?" Lian Yi pondered to himself, "But this is too strange. She and I have never met before, and we haven't even met a few times. How could she possibly know what I'm thinking?"
Lian Yi thought about it and felt that his plan was flawless and should not be seen through so easily.
So, she calmed down a little and said to herself, "Forget it, even if she doesn't go, I have plenty of ways to make the prince dislike her."
Time passed quickly, and before long, General Li received news that the logistics troops had to change their route.
And all this happened just as Nier had expected. The only way they had to go was the valley full of dangers.
The terrain of this valley is steep and dangerous. If we encounter an enemy ambush there, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, the logistics troops requested support to prevent any accidents.
The troops led by Lian Yi had already been on full alert, waiting for the order to rush out like an arrow.
Before setting off, General Li and Ni'er studied the map repeatedly, and after careful consideration, they finally decided on a specific location.
According to their judgment, the enemy was very likely to set an ambush nearby.
