Li Mingjin was fine. They had burned the enemy's food and herbs two days ago, and in the past two days, they joined forces with Langcheng's army to defeat the Guiyan Kingdom's army in one fell swoop.

    The strategy was very mature, the first prince of Guiyan Kingdom was indeed used to old general Wei's routine, but Li Mingjin hit him by surprise.

    Of course, he also understood that this kind of trick could only be used once, and the experienced Guiyan Kingdom wouldn't fall into the same trick a second time.

    Luo Shuyu could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Li Mingjin was still alive and well. This achievement was real and no one could pretend to claim it.

    As long as he was alive.

    Next, he only had to wait for Li Mingjin to return.

    He received the news here, but Governor Zhu knew nothing. Li Mingjin and Wei Linyuan teamed up and they devised another plan.

    They would treat Governor Zhu with his own trick, so Wei Linyuan sent people to spread the news that Li Mingjin had died on the battlefield.

    A day later, they deliberately asked people to drag Li Mingjin's "corpse" into the city.

    Luo Shuyu cooperated with the plan, and he immediately "fainted" after "learning" the news, and never left the mansion.

    After Governor Zhu learned that Li Mingjin was "dead", he was overjoyed.

    Since Li Mingjin died, he sent the news to the people above him.

    However, as soon as the news was delivered, Governor Zhu was caught by Wei Linyuan on the spot, and he was directly tied up.

    Luo Shuyu listened to An Jiu's report about how Wei Linyuan caught Governor Zhu's handle, and then wiped and washed off all the face powder that he deliberately smeared on his face without exception.

    With the warm handkerchief covering his face, he finally didn't have to pretend anymore, and felt much more relaxed.

    Suddenly, a pair of hands held his waist, Luo Shuyu was startled, he turned his head suddenly, and Li Mingjin, who had a stubbled face, asked him: "Yu'er, do you miss me?"

    Luo Shuyu was taken aback, Li Mingjin came back!

    After being dazed, Luo Shuyu changed his expression, and threw the handkerchief in his hand on Li Mingjin's face: "Where did you come from, someone, throw this person out!"

    Li Mingjin quickly hugged him tightly: "Don't be angry with me, I will never dare to hide something from you next time."

    Luo Shuyu didn't struggle, and let him hold him, his eyes turned red, and the tears he had endured for a long time still fell when he saw Li Mingjin came back safely.

    Li Mingjin threw away the handkerchief that was thrown on his face, and put his arms around Luo Shuyu: "Don't cry." 

    The more he said not to cry, the faster Luo Shuyu's tears fell. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes in this life, and he obviously felt that he could become stronger, but when he heard that Li Mingjin's whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were unknown, he really felt that he was not strong, and was very fragile.

    Li Mingjin pulled him to sit on a chair, and said, "I have heard what they said, you are the first to find out about the one track path of those people, and about Governor Zhu."

[统一口径tǒng yī kǒu jìng: lit. one-track path; fig. to adopt a unified approach to discussing an issue]

    Luo Shuyu leaned on his shoulder and hummed softly: "Then you didn't communicate with me in advance. If I didn't find out early, you would have suffered a lot. I don't know how they would slander you. Wei Linmu still went out with you, if something happened to him,  Wei Linyuan might have resentment towards you, I won't care about it. "

    Li Mingjin said: "It’s because I didn’t think carefully, so I won’t do it next time.”

    Luo Shuyu: “Do you still want to have a next time?”

    Li Mingjin hurriedly said: “No, no, definitely not again. "

    Luo Shuyu stared at him without speaking.

    Li Mingjin leaned his face closer: "Touch me, haven't I come back safely? And I will go and beat up the villain who bullies you tomorrow!"

    Luo Shuyu was amused by what he said, he stroked his beard, which had never grown so long before, and then sniffed his clothes: "Your Highness, hurry to take a bath, you smell so bad."

    Li Mingjin hugged him again: "I'll go take a bath if you don't cry."

    "I was made to cry by you." Luo Shuyu made fun of him, and pushed Li Mingjin, "Go quickly."

    The servants had prepared hot water in advance, Li Mingjin shaved and took a bath.

     After washing, the whole person felt much more comfortable.

    There was charcoal fire burning in the room, Luo Shuyu wiped Li Mingjin's freshly washed hair, and Li Mingjin told Luo Shuyu about his experiences in the past few days.

    Li Mingjin: "The plan this time was agreed upon before the departure. We have two plans, since the people around Governor Zhu heard one of the two, so we implemented the other." 

    Luo Shuyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the serious Li Mingjin was very attractive, he wondered, "But how could the other party cooperate with you?"

     Li Mingjin: "If they are really from the Guiyan Kingdom, of course they won't cooperate with us."

    Luo Shuyu: "Then how did you make the plan succeed?"

    Li Mingjin: "We borrowed troops from Langcheng in advance, and asked them to pretend to be Guiyan soldiers, and play a show with us. When I said that we were about to lose the battle, some people who were afraid of death would naturally run away. So I let those five people come back on purpose, and the others were tied up and thrown in our camp under special guard."

    Luo Shuyu: "I see, you let those five people come back and spread the news of your defeat, and your life and death were unknown. Those who wanted to make small moves would jump out, and they would find a way to hold the control of Gucheng in their hands. "

    Li Mingjin: " My wife's analysis is very accurate. They really thought so, and they did it. We couldn't find another way to let Governor Zhu show his tail directly. This time is the best and most direct way. We took a risk and attacked the enemy camp by the way, burned their food and herbs. After they couldn't hold on, we beat them until their parents didn't them anymore, and they went straight back to their grassland. "

    Luo Shuyu: "Your Highness must be very brave at that time."

    Li Mingjin suddenly acted like a spoiled child: "When we waited for them to fall asleep in the snow, we were about to freeze to death, but we still relied on spirits to make it through. Going to war is really hard. I think in those days the Taizu must have suffered more hardships than this when they fought to conquer the country. "

The author has something to say: The Third prince: Wife, today you are a just-adult monarch, and I'm a powerful regent. I'm going to force the palace, so you threaten me with suicide, but I'm an ambitious regent, I can't let you die, so I decide to sleep on the dragon bed with Your Majesty.
