"..."
Dongfang Yaoe's mouth twitched, her expression becoming more compliant: "I understand."
"Once you have controlled the troops of Lai State, you should pillage the cities of Lai State," Lu Jin'an spoke leisurely. "After all, you can't truly control Lai State's troops. By the ti Shengjing reacts, few soldiers will listen to you. So, you need to let them taste the benefits, and only then will you have more loyal followers.
Creating chaos in Lai State ans Shengjing will be busy quelling the disorder. This way, your chances of survival will increase, won't they?"
"You're right," Dongfang Yaoe quickly nodded, with a trace of fierceness in her eyes. As a Martial Saint, she had no control over the current situation and was struggling herself, so she thought everyone else should struggle too!
"Go ahead," Lu Jin'an patted Dongfang Yaoe's shoulder. "The beginning is always tough. Don't be reluctant to part with the gold and silver jewelry you've hidden inside and outside the Prince Mansion. Not many are truly loyal to Shengjing, right?"
"You're right."
"Within a month, I want to see the results. Then I'll co for your first antidote."
"I understand."
Standing at the door, Lu Jin'an watched expressionlessly as Dongfang Yaoe's figure ran out. Along the way here, he had eliminated all the Martial Saints in the area, and no one here could rival this Prince Hui.
As for the Lai State Army... with the disguised Observatory in place and money to bribe, it would work out. Generals like Chen Yandong from Jinnan City were rare.
In the end, this was a private matter of the Dongfang family, and ultimately loyalty would only lie with the Dongfang na, not outsiders.
"Master!"
Zhiyu ran in, clutching a broken spear, her face full of excitent: "Riding and charging around was so much fun~"
She casually tossed the spear aside, gesturing with enthusiasm: "Charge, charge, and boom, the wall collapsed, such fun~
But, but, Zhiyu was very obedient and didn't harm the civilians, saved many instead, Zhiyu is aweso~"
"Our Zhiyu is getting more and more amazing," Lu Jin'an smiled, patting Zhiyu's little head. "One person who can match a million soldiers!"
Throw Zhiyu onto the battlefield, and all the cavalry, no matter how unwilling, would have to turn and charge at their own formations.
Even if the cavalry abandoned their horses and ran, the force of tens of thousands of warhorses charging was not sothing that could be easily stopped.
Zhiyu happily rubbed against his large hand and then suddenly thought of sothing, waving her hands and tugging on Lu Jin'an's clothes, climbing into his embrace: "Master, Zhiyu wants a kiss too!"
Without waiting for Lu Jin'an to reply, she lifted his mask and kissed him on the lips.
Smack, smack, it lacked technique but was full of emotion.
Lu Jin'an... was already used to it.
Ever since Zhiyu witnessed that scene between him and Dongfang Xinglan at the City Lord Mansion, Zhiyu had kissed many tis along the way. However... her kissing skills hadn't improved much, only leaving a mouthful of saliva.
But it was enough to make him happy.
"Hee hee~" Zhiyu looked at Lu Jin'an happily, then tilted her head in confusion and asked, "By the way, why doesn't Zhiyu leave a mark after kissing? Sister Xinglan left a red mouth~"
"That's called lipstick."
"A bug?" Zhiyu frowned in confusion, looking at Lu Jin'an: "A bug..."
"It's lipstick," Lu Jin'an quickly clarified. "It's not a bug, and it's not sothing to eat!"
This had to be explained clearly to Zhiyu, otherwise, with her penchant for eating, she might catch a bug and put it in her mouth during a kiss.
"Oh~" Zhiyu nodded understandingly, although she still didn't fully comprehend. It's not sothing to eat, so what could it be?
Zhiyu pondered deeply as Lu Jin'an, holding her with one hand, spoke softly: "Previously, we didn't get to set a fire. Next, let's go set one."
"Mm-hmm," Zhiyu nodded eagerly. "Where are we setting the fire?"
Lu Jin'an turned his head towards the north: "Hechang City."
If Prince Ning, Dongfang Zhen, knew his base had been burned to the ground, could he calmly lead his army to fight in the southwest?
After all, even if Prince Ning remained loyal to Shengjing now, his roots were in the Eastern Lu, Song, Zi, and Lai states. If trouble arose at the rear, it would surely unsettle him, even if he were a Martial God.
After all, without soldiers, he'd lose the power to counter the Observatory, aning the Observatory could just play the 'Everlasting Song' in his face.
Once Hechang was set ablaze, the plan would be to take Dongfang Yaoe to the Shenmiao Dynasty and lead the troops to strike at the gates!
'Calculating the ti, that Wen Yuan should have left Yunshan State by now. Who knows how long it will take for the ssage to get back...'
With a hint of amusent in his eyes, Lu Jin'an continued to wander around the city with Zhiyu in his arms.
After ensuring Dongfang Yaoe had control over Dengtai City and the garrison outside the city, he led the Jinyi Guard northward.
Now, his approach to the Jinyi Guard was more straightforward and violent, controlling them with poison, giving commands to fight like a bunch of bandits along the way.
In less than ten days, he hurriedly brought Zhiyu to Hechang City in Luozhou, second only to the Eastern Capital Luo'an.
Along the way, he gathered a lot of information. Initially, Prince Ning ordered all the people of Hechang City to leave to complete his dragon qi plan, yet now this city, which saw nearly a million mbers of the Dongfang Clan perish, had regained its forr bustle.
The place was bustling, lively.
"Zhiyu, let's have a good al first!"
"Great, great~" Zhiyu clapped her hands excitedly. "Then clean up!"
Lu Jin'an's eyes flickered with amusent; this was a code word Zhiyu had picked up from bandits they'd encountered along the way.
"But rember the principle."
"I rember~" Zhiyu nodded firmly. "First drive the people away!"
"Very clever."
Lu Jin'an held Zhiyu's small hand and walked into Hechang City.
Not half an hour later, flas soared into the sky.
Outside the city, the warhorses of Prince Ning's Eastern Mansion Army ran amok, causing heavy casualties.
On the city walls, Zhiyu stood with her hands on her hips, commanding the warhorses to charge in different directions, leaving destruction in their wake.
As for Prince Ning, he had raised quite a few fierce beasts, which at this mont, sowed terror throughout Luozhou.
"Master, Zhiyu is aweso, huh?"
"Aweso."
"Then... can I get another kiss?"
"Why do you like it more and more?"
"Oh... because it's comfortable."
Zhiyu smiled sweetly at Lu Jin'an and leaped into his arms, looking up and speaking crisply.
"Zhiyu likes it!"
