    In October, the first snow had already fallen in the north.

    The temperature at night was much colder than during the day.

    The night-duty soldiers of the Guiyan Kingdom stood outside the camp shivering non-stop, and occasionally drank a couple of sips of wine from the jug on their waists to warm up their bodies.

    The soldiers also kept complaining to their companions on duty.

    "Why is the weather getting colder again?"

    "We're pretty good here. If we come out two months later, it will definitely be colder."

    "Do you still have wine? Give me teo sips."

    "I also only have two sips left, you can drink it, the guard will be changing soon, you can go and drink some by yourself."

    "Hey, you said that it's bitterly cold, those people from the Daxia Kingdom must be more afraid of the cold than us, so they won't come at night."

    After a while, the two soldiers changed guard with others.

    The night was getting deeper and deeper, and even the owner of the main tent had already blown out the candles and went to sleep.

    The camp of the Guiyan Kingdom became more and more quiet. Many soldiers had already fallen asleep, and those in the night watch were yawning again and again, and many people fell asleep while standing up.

    Night was the most relaxing time.

    When the soldiers of the Guiyan Kingdom felt that they could sleep soundly, some black shadows entered the camp from behind without a sound, and broke the necks of the soldiers of the Guiyan Kingdom who were guarding in the outside. Unknowingly, there were fewer and fewer people outside, and a group of dark shadows gradually approached the main tent.

     Everyone marched forward in unison and made a little noise, and dealt with the Guiyan soldiers one after another.

    Until the camp was burnt down.

    Li Mingjin told Wei Linmu who was enjoying the harvest next to him: "Don't zealously continue to fight, after setting the fire, retreat immediately!" 

    Their purpose tonight was to burn the grain and herbs of the Guiyan Kingdom. Since they came to Daxia to grab grain, then let them have no food to eat first.

    It was not just the camp here, but also the other two camps. They had burnt their food and herbs together, and they didn't even have a bit of supplies, so they would have no strength to fight.

    After finding the place where the food and herbs were placed, Li Mingjin immediately ordered people to light the fire, and after it was finished, everyone was ordered to retreat, and he emphasized again that no one was allowed to zealously continue to fight.

    When there was chaos in the Guiyan Kingdom's camp, they ran very quickly, and the first prince of Guiyan Kingdom was still putting on his clothes: "What's going on?" 

    "Answer to the first prince, the camp was caught on fire!"

    "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "

     "Come and fetch water! The food and herbs have been burned, everyone, come and fetch water!"

    There were fires everywhere, not only the food and herbs were burned, but also the tents were almost burned.

    The first prince sent people to chase after Daxia's soldiers, but Li Mingjin and others had already made arrangements and withdrew quickly. By the time the people from the Guiyan Kingdom reacted, they had already dispersed and ran away without a trace.

    Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone met at the agreed place, and no one was missing.

    For the first time, Wei Linmu felt that doing this kind of thing with Li Mingjin was more exciting than directly confronting the enemy, so he really had to admire Lǐ Mingjin's brain.

    Two days ago, first they deliberately pretended to be trapped in the enemy camp, dug out the people who wanted to frame them in the barracks. After those people were designed with the same method, they let the remaining few people go back and report their situation to confuse the people in Gucheng. Of course, doing something like this might make the people in Gucheng worry.

    Originally Wei Linmu didn't really like the third prince who was airborne, he thought that these princes were without learning or skills, poor in martial arts, and not smart enough. However, after a period of time with Li Mingjin, he found that his character and thinking were very similar to him. At first he didn't accept his control, but after they were on the battlefield, he liked every starting point and every idea of ​​Li Mingjin very much. So he followed him, and everyday was very exciting, and he gradually liked this way of getting along with each other. Especially this sneaking method was very exciting.

    But as long as you could let these Guiyan Kingdom people eat their domestic animals and hold back, it would be great!

    Li Mingjin said to the crowd: "Let's take a break first, join the main force tomorrow, and then defeat them one by one according to the plan."

    Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!"

    Li Mingjin was acting according to their private plan, while Luo Shuyu still had to deal with Governor Zhu.

    After some people disturbed the Third Prince's Mansion two days ago, Wei Linyuan also sent troops to protect him, and now the entire Third Prince's Mansion was tightly protected. Of course, Governor Zhu thought that his plan hadn't been exposed, and continued to give condolences to Luo Shuyu on a daily basis in a hypocritical manner.

    Now it was the right time to give Wei Linyuan time to investigate Governor Zhu. After the evidence was sufficient, he could be directly arrested as soon as Li Mingjin returned.

    But right now they had to determine which side Governor Zhu was from.

    Luo Shuyu hid in the study today to read books and paint to calm himself down.

    He was still worried about Li Mingjin, wondering if he would be frozen and injured on the battlefield, and whether there would be a doctor by his side.

    This was what he worried about everyday.

    However, Anjiu soon got a letter from Wei Linyuan: "Master, General Wei asked me to give it to you."

    Luo Shuyu quickly opened the letter, and raised his eyebrows after reading it.

    Very good!
