The next morning, Huo Jin, as per the plan, went to meet Tan Gengxin while Sheng Li had sent a piece of an army to the Southern Hills with skilled shooters in the leadership of General Wang. Sheng Li had earlier advised Wang Hao to stay behind. However, General Wang refused and assured Sheng Li that this time there would be no mistake.
Sheng Li helped Ying Lili wear the armor. He then handed her a sword. "My iron lady, don't try to be brave. Just stay near the secret underground routes," Sheng Li told her as he placed his palm on her cheek.
"When you know that I am an iron lady, then why are you stopping from acting bravely? It's a battle so I can hide like a coward," Ying Lili stated.
"I know. Still, as a husband, it worries me," Sheng Li replied.
