Chapter 504: Seizing the Loophole

When Song Miqiu proposed leaving the capital, Yu Huailin had already decided where he was going, and he even spread the news before leaving the capital.

It is said that something happened to Princess Jing. Yu Huailin is now curious about how Prince Jing would react if he knew.

Soon, Prince Jing received the news. Upon learning it, he immediately wanted to return to the capital, having no intention of continuing to concern himself with matters here.

When the strategist saw that King Jing wanted to leave, he hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Highness, are you planning to return to the capital? No, you are still needed here to oversee the overall situation," the strategist said anxiously.

King Jing completely ignored the strategist's advice, struggling to break free: "Haven't you received the news? My wife and children are in trouble, they're in trouble!"

I am their husband and father, and I couldn't even protect them. If I couldn't even protect them, what chance do I have of anyone else? I need to go back to her.

The strategist shouted, "Your Highness, calm down! The Princess and the child are in the palace; how could anything have happened to them? Even if something did happen to them..."

Do you think the Emperor would ignore this? He still needs you to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty; he won't let anyone who can restrain you get into trouble.

As long as you do this well, you can go back whenever you want, not even the Emperor can stop you. And why did the news come at this time?

Didn't you ever consider that this was intentional on the part of the enemy? That they deliberately wanted you to know that if you left, the morale of the troops here would collapse.

King Jing listened to the strategist's words and calmed down considerably, realizing that what he said made sense.

As long as he deals with the remnants of the previous dynasty, even if the emperor doesn't want him to go back, he can still go back. Moreover, going back at this time would make it easy for others to find fault with him.

Prince Jing could only temporarily suppress his desire to return to the capital. He immediately contacted his secret guards to confirm that the princess and the child, Huailin, were in danger, and then threw himself into the war.

The strategist breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Prince Jing had finally calmed down, and continued, "Your Highness, rest assured, whether it's the Emperor or anyone else..."

They dared not let anything happen to the princess and the child; they knew that if something did happen, they would also be held responsible.

When King Jing heard what the strategist said, he wanted to refute it, but he did not. He suddenly felt that having military power in his hands was a good thing, as it would allow him to protect the people he wanted to protect.

After calming himself down, King Jing asked, "When do you think they will attack? At what time?"

The strategist began discussing with King Jing how the enemy would act.

Yu Huailin and Song Miqiu quickly led them to a place not far from where the two armies were fighting, but no one except Yu Huailin knew about it.

"We've been walking for so long, let's take a break. It's okay if we're a little late, her people can't catch up for now."

Yu Huailin turned his gaze to Song Miqiu and nodded to her.

Song Miqiu raised an eyebrow. Seeing his words, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's rest then. You must be very tired after walking for so long."

Yu Huailin smiled slightly and went directly to the inn.

After booking several guest rooms and settling Song Miqiu and the others in, he said, "I'll go scout ahead and be right back."

"You all get some rest. I've already spoken to the manager, and he'll bring your food upstairs in a bit."

"Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Luckily you're here. I really don't want to move now, I just want to lie in bed."

Qiu Tianlei lay on the bed with his eyes closed, looking completely exhausted.

The others didn't heed Yu Huailin's words, but Song Miqiu understood him. She just looked at him, wanting to know what he was going to do.

Yu Huailin let Song Miqiu look at him without moving, and even smiled at her when he looked into her eyes.

"Okay, take care on your journey. If we can't get back by tomorrow morning, we'll leave without waiting for you."

After saying that, Song Miqiu returned to his room, closed the door, and the whole action was so smooth that no one else had a chance to react.

No one expected Song Miqiu to say that, and even Qiu Tianlei, who had his eyes closed, opened them.

The others turned their attention to Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin simply nodded at them, then turned and left. The others looked at each other, saying nothing.

Meanwhile, General Mu and his men had devised a plan to attack the next day.

"That's how it's going to be. They definitely won't be able to beat us tomorrow. We've already arrived here, and the next step is to head straight to the capital."

General Mu spoke with a strong and resonant voice to the others, who believed him and were all filled with high morale.

"General Mu's plan is good, but it's not perfect. It would be better to use another plan."

Yu Huailin's sudden appearance in the tent startled everyone. They looked at him warily, their weapons pointed at him.

"Who are you? How dare you say that General Mu's plan is wrong? You are truly shameless."

"I'm just stating the facts. Although this plan looks good on the surface, if it's actually implemented, the other side will definitely find loopholes."

"We might not be completely wiped out by then, but we'll be close enough," Yu Huailin said coldly.

"You make it sound so convincing. If that's the case, then come up with a flawless plan. Do you have that ability?"

The others nodded in agreement. They all trusted General Mu and couldn't bear to see him being doubted.

Yu Huailin did not refuse and directly presented a very good plan.

"Who exactly are you? How could you come up with such a plan? You weren't sent by the other side, were you?" someone in the army said indignantly.

Yu Huailin was so angry he laughed: "Are you out of your minds? If I were really the person on the other side, would I be standing in front of you?"

You're all fools, but I'm not. Don't assume everyone is like you.

"How dare you speak to us like that! It seems you won't learn your lesson until you're taught a lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, those who had felt uncomfortable because of Yu Huailin's words raised their weapons, ready to attack him.

At this moment, General Mu spoke up: "How dare you! Do you know who he is? He is the Crown Prince's son, a prince."

Upon hearing this, the others widened their eyes in disbelief, but since it was General Mu who said it, they had no choice but to believe it.

"Your Highness, we never expected to see you here. It's truly unexpected. We've been waiting for you for a long time," General Mu said, bowing to Yu Huailin.
