When Xiaoqing heard that Zhang Long was in trouble, she panicked, ”Sister Weiwei, is there any danger?”

Luo Lingwei nodded her head, ”Yes, think about it, this Enlightening Mind Temple has been in operation here for many years. We monks know the situation in the mountain, and the enemies have been preparing for a long time. If we were to fight head on with them in the dark night, we are afraid of being taken advantage of! ”

As expected, not only did the group that entered the mountain not get any advantage, they were also ambushed and lost half of their troops in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Long came to a realization. He immediately gathered up his troops and retreated down the mountain.

They had originally been a team of three hundred players, but now there were only a hundred or so people left. After descending the mountain, Zhang Long felt very ashamed. Although he was proficient in martial arts, he knew nothing about leading troops into battle.

”Empress, your foresight is indeed divine! ”General Zhang and the rest are here.” A quartermaster who was stationed at the side came to report the situation to Luo Lingwei.

Luo Lingwei nodded, indicating that she knew. At the same time, Zhang Long also arrived in front of Luo Lingwei's carriage and knelt on the ground.

”This lowly official is useless, unable to wipe out the bandits within the mountain. Furthermore, he even caused the loss of one of his subordinates. I plead for the Empress to punish him.”

Luo Lingwei looked at him and faintly smiled, ”It's alright. If it were another person, they would have made the same mistake. I will forgive you for your innocence.” Pass down your orders, reorganize your men, and set up camp. Rest well. We will attack the mountain again after daybreak. ”

Zhang Long was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not say anything. He accepted the order and left.

After the soldiers received the order, they began to set up camp. Before long, everyone had settled down at the foot of the mountain to rest.

On the morning of the next day, after a night of rest, everyone could be considered to have some energy. After Luo Lingwei walked out of the tent, she saw that the morning mist was still lingering in the mountain. She nodded and said to the guard beside her: ”Send the order down, we'll eat breakfast quickly. Prepare to attack after half an hour.”

Once the military order was given, all the soldiers began to move. Everyone unwrapped the dry rations from around their waists and began to eat heartily while soaking in the water. After a short while, they finished their breakfast and began to organize their troops.

After everyone was ready, Luo Lingwei changed into the armor that Ye Lianhe had prepared for her. She rode with Little White, who had also changed into a new set of armor, and they headed towards the Bright Heart Temple.

Upon reaching the entrance, Luo Lingwei summoned two scouts and had them disguise themselves before going to the mountain to investigate.

The scout accepted the order and left. Not long later, the two returned with a large bald monk in their hands.

Luo Lingwei and the others took a closer look. This monk was the same person who had stolen the horse bandit from that day!
