The hidden danger of this war is that the Jersey Empire is very likely to use the Smiling Robots on the battlefield.
Even if those robots are not as good as him, if they are determined to self-destruct continuously, they will definitely pose a great threat to the army.
Yu Xiao was very afraid that Yu Tang would be affected again.
The two went home and told Yu Shasha about the expedition.
Upon hearing this, the little mermaid's eyes started to spill pearls as if they were free.
Yu Tang and Yu Xiao quickly comforted her and gave He An instructions: after they went to war, they should bring Yu Shasha's parents from the shelter to their home and make sure to take good care of the whole family.
Afterwards, instead of resting at home, they went to a teahouse and met with Tang Xun and Mu Xinglin.
People who usually drink tea had wine on the table this time.
Tang Xun raised his glass and said, "General Yu Tang, General Yu Xiao, thank you so much for what happened this time."
"This glass of wine is a farewell toast to you both!"
Mu Xinglin also raised his glass: "A toast to the two generals!"
Yu Tang and Yu Xiao did not refuse.
He drank the wine in his glass and said, "It's just a small favor. It's a wonderful thing to be able to fulfill your wishes."
After exchanging a few more words, the group parted ways.
Yu Tang and Yu Xiao went to the front line with the army.
The next day, Mulan, dressed as a man, arrived in the Oro Empire with the support troops of the Weiss Empire.
After meeting the Queen, the tall "man" in military uniform set off to find Mu Xinglin and Tang Xun.
Tang Xun looked around at the two people who seemed to be cut from the same mold, and his mind was a little confused.
He smiled wryly at Mulan and said, "You two look so alike. If I hadn't known beforehand that you were a woman disguised as a man, I probably would have mistaken you for someone else."
Mulan laughed heartily and winked at him.
Her short hair gave her a dashing and heroic look.
"It has to look convincing to fool you, my future sister-in-law." She nudged Mu Xinglin with her elbow and said, "Don't you agree, Fourth Brother?"
"What sister-in-law..." Tang Xun blushed deeply at this address.
Mu Xinglin laughed heartily, replying to Mu Lanke, "It's because you have such a silver tongue that you managed to win Lanlan over so much."
Lanlan is a girl in Mu Xinglin's organization, and also a girl Mu Lan likes.
If it weren't for this, she and Mu Xinglin, a noble princess and a lowly illegitimate child, wouldn't have become so familiar with each other so quickly.
The two exchanged clothes. Mu Xinglin cut his long hair short with a pair of scissors, put on gloves and a hat, and when he raised his eyes, his gaze was sharp, like that of a decisive commander, inspiring awe.
Before leaving, he waved to Tang Xun. When Tang Xun stood in front of him, he gently tugged at Tang Xun's collar and said, "You little coward, after we win this battle, I will definitely marry you in my own right."
"Wait for me to come back."
Chapter 39
The villain was resurrected for the seventh time (39)
Tang Xun's heart tightened, and he subconsciously grabbed Mu Xinglin's hand.
"The battlefield is ever-changing, you must be careful!"
Mu Xinglin raised an eyebrow: "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
"Yes..." Tang Xun said without hesitation, "I was worried about you."
He didn't know if he truly loved Mu Xinglin. But he knew he couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to Mu Xinglin.
Mu Xinglin was slightly taken aback, a warm feeling spreading through his heart.
"Since you're so worried about me, why don't you give me a talisman?"
"What kind of amulet?"
Tang Xun had barely uttered his question when the shirt button fell into Mu Xinglin's hand.
Clutching the delicate button tightly in his palm, Mu Xinglin pulled Tang Xun's hand and kissed the back of it.
He gave Tang Xun one last deep look, then waved and left.
Tang Xun curled his fingers and pressed them against his chest, feeling his heart pounding faster, and suddenly laughed.
It turns out he had already fallen for her.
Mu Xinglin led the support troops to the front line of Euro Star and joined forces with Yu Tang and Yu Xiao.
Yu Tang had just finished listening to the scout's report when he looked up and saw him come in. He then dismissed his attendants and invited him to sit down.
She looked Mu Xinglin up and down, her eyes smiling, "This is the first time I've seen you dressed as a man; I almost didn't recognize you."
Yu Xiao chimed in coolly, "You can say that, but you can't praise him for being handsome."
Yu Tang's words caught in her throat, and she turned to glance at him: "You jealous bastard."
"Compared to your praise," Mu Xinglin said helplessly, "I would much rather Tang Xun hug me one day and tell me that he loves my face to death."
Otherwise, all that effort I put into becoming handsome would leave me with no sense of accomplishment.
As soon as he said that, Yu Tang and Yu Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
The relaxed atmosphere didn't last long before Yu Tang told Mu Xinglin about serious business.
"According to information from the front lines, the Jersey Empire has indeed sent robots to fight, just as you described before."
They are all clones with implanted chips, giving them a strong ability to recover.
Moreover, the self-destruction was extremely powerful, causing great harm to our soldiers.
He asked Mu Xinglin, "What do you think we should do to deal with them?"
Mu Xinglin: "Find the mastermind behind this and start with them."
Mu Xinglin said, "These clones actually have their own way of thinking, and they don't really want to die."
Once we find the people controlling them, eliminate them all, and then awaken the clones' self-awareness, this war will be much easier to win.
Yu smiled and nodded: "I agree with this idea."
He himself is a smiling robot, and he knows that smiling robots can also develop self-awareness.
He had no reason to kill these robots who shared his fate if they didn't want to die.
He believed that Yu Tang must think the same way.
Sure enough, Yu Tang said the next moment, "Okay..."
"Now let's start assigning tasks."
"We will split into three groups. You two will each lead a team to draw fire to the outer perimeter of Eurostar."
"And I will seize the opportunity to penetrate deep into Europa, find the Jersey Empire's base, and have a good talk with their commander."
Yu Tang's last few words were quite meaningful.
Mu Xinglin and Yu Xiao both understood.
Yu Xiao frowned and couldn't help but say, "Tangtang, I want to be on your team too."
Yu Tang pressed down on his head: "No..."
He smiled and said, "Why would I let you have this chance to shine?"
"Tangtang!"
Yu Tang smiled and retorted, "General Yu Xiao, have you forgotten how you lost to me in the competition at military academy?"
His eyes shone brightly. He stood up, gazing at the vast universe outside the flight window. His military uniform was impeccably tailored. He turned to the two men and said, "Trust my plan. We'll take down Eurostar together before dawn tomorrow."
"Let's win our first game!"
Yu Xiao stared at him blankly.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and after a long while he lowered his eyes and replied with a soft "Okay..."
But after Mu Xinglin left the conference room, he wrapped his arms around Yu Tang's waist and held him tightly in his embrace.
With her head buried in the man's shoulder and neck, Yu Xiao's voice was hoarse, like a large dog whimpering out short sentences.
"Tangtang, I'm scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Yu Tang wanted to say that he had divine power and that he would be safe from harm, no matter who was in trouble.
But he also knew that the war two years ago was a knot in Yu Xiao's heart, so it wasn't surprising that the other party was behaving this way.
"Let's pinky swear."
Yu Tang held out his finger to Yu Xiao: "I promise I can return to you unharmed. Anyone who can't do that is a dog."
Yu Xiao looked up at him, her lips pressed tightly together.
"Puppies have no deterrent effect."
"Name your terms."
Yu Xiao took his finger and said, "If you get even the slightest injury, you have to sing the song I wrote for you in front of the entire intergalactic population."
Yu Tang vaguely felt that this condition was a bottomless pit.
But seeing Yu Xiao looking so wronged, he couldn't bear to do it.
We have no choice but to compromise.
"Okay. It's settled then." He hooked Yu Xiao's little finger together with his thumbs and pushed her along.
"Pinky promise, a hundred years of vows, never to be broken."
"Don't change it..."
