Xiao Jingyun won the battle and attracted everyone's attention almost immediately.

Xiao Huaiqing had thought he could steal the show on the battlefield with Yuan Huaizhi's help, but he almost didn't even get any credit. Fortunately, an eagle appeared out of nowhere and immediately attracted the enemy's attention, allowing him to successfully capture the enemy general.

His achievements cannot be compared with Xiao Jingyun's, but at least he has established himself in the military camp.

In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the military camp and there was a big celebration.

In this battle, they inflicted heavy damage on the enemy, and the other side sent people to express their desire for peace talks. Among them, some had followed Xiao Jingyun from the capital and had almost seen the schedule for returning to the capital, so they were naturally particularly excited that night.

Xiao Huaiqing was packing up in his tent, preparing to change into clean, comfortable clothes to show off, when Princess Yun Duo rushed in, saying in disbelief, "How come only 8,000 of our Achang Kingdom's 20,000 soldiers are left?"

Xiao Huaiqing suddenly remembered that he led his soldiers into the local camp, and then he waited for an opportunity to capture the king.

"There will definitely be casualties on the battlefield. Isn't that strange?"

"Besides, don't we still have eight thousand? When we return to Wei, these eight thousand will be considered your dowry and you can deploy them at your disposal."

Princess Yun Duo was very disappointed and said, "Achang Kingdom is small to begin with, and the 20,000 soldiers are all young and strong. How can I explain to my father the loss of over 10,000 soldiers?"

"When you borrowed the troops, you said it was just to confuse the enemy. I don't even know how to explain this to my father. Do you still want to take the remaining 8,000 with you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huaiqing said unhappily, "You are my wife now, you should be on my side."

"A mere twenty thousand soldiers and horses, once I conquer the Wei Dynasty, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Besides, I've done something great today, and everyone's waiting to celebrate with me. Don't spoil the fun."

Princess Yun Duo laughed in anger, pointing at the joyful soldiers outside and saying, "Celebrating your victory? Do you know what they say about you?"

"You're stupid. You led our Achang soldiers straight into the enemy camp, and then didn't even look back when they were surrounded. You didn't even give the soldiers a chance to survive. This is the first time they have ever encountered such a stupid vanguard like you."

"They also said that our Achang soldiers didn't need to charge to the front, but you insisted that they follow you as the vanguard and lead them to their deaths."

"Your father killed the King of the Great Jin Kingdom and didn't even boast about it, but you captured a general and you're eager to tour the entire grassland."

"Enough!" Xiao Huaiqing's expression suddenly changed and he looked extremely angry.

This was exactly what he was most unwilling to accept, but he didn't expect Princess Cloud to expose it so easily.

Princess Cloud said, "Don't yell at me. Do you really think I'm your wife who has endured the hardships of life?"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I will go find my father. I, Achangguo, have helped him after all, so he won't just ignore it."

After Princess Yun Duo finished speaking, she was about to go find Xiao Jingyun.

Xiao Huaiqing secretly resented her, and his dislike for Princess Yun Duo increased. However, he quickly pulled her back and said, "You know I'm inexperienced in battle. I want to make meritorious deeds, so I can be crowned king sooner rather than later, giving you a title worthy of a princess."

"Not only are you inconsiderate to me, but you're also blaming me. How can I feel good about it?"

"You've already said that Achang Kingdom has at least helped the Great Wei. How could my father turn a blind eye to this? He will definitely compensate us when the time comes. What are you worried about?"

Princess Cloud no longer believed him and began to have deep doubts about her own choice.

Xiao Huaiqing, however, refused to let go and said, "If we make a scene now, even if you get what you want, the relationship between Wei and Achang will plummet to a freezing point. Is that what you want?"

"Give me a little time, and I promise that the position of principal wife will be yours. I also promise you that half of all the wealth and glory I obtain in the future will be yours."

"How can Su Yingyue compare to you? She is just a woman forced upon me by the royal family. Only you are my favorite, the precious treasure in my heart."

Princess Cloud was suspicious and refused to believe it.

Xiao Huaiqing had never seen such a difficult woman, but he had to continue to deal with her.

He bent down and kissed her, coaxing her softly, "Believe me, there will be no more wars, and I will not waste your Achang Kingdom's national strength. But my achievements do not stop there. We will take the remaining 8,000 soldiers and return to the capital with my father. That will be the greatest help to you and me in our plans."

As a princess of the royal family, Princess Yun Duo naturally knew what Xiao Huaiqing meant by planning something?

She half-heartedly said, "Really?"

Xiao Huaiqing said: "My brothers are all very stupid, especially my father's son, who is even more stupid."

"As long as I go back and stir things up a bit, and no one is guarding us, when they're almost done fighting each other, we'll be like the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind. Why should we be afraid of not succeeding?"

Princess Yun Duo dreams of becoming the queen of Wei one day. Wouldn't all her sisters have to look up to her then?

After all, her inner desire was aroused, so she didn't make a fuss.

However, what they didn't know was that Xiao Jingyun heard all these words clearly, but just ignored them.

Cuicui came back to get the letter. Xiao Jingyun knew that Dazhuang was still alive, but had lost his way in the snowy mountains. He said to Cuicui, "Bring him back to the capital and keep a close eye on him."

Cuicui said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The children are grown up now. They will look after it when it returns. It won't get lost."

Xiao Jingyun tied the letter to Cuicui's feet and said, "It doesn't matter if you fly slowly, but you must fly high and pay attention to safety."

Seeing such a warm-hearted master, Cuicui suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be an evil spirit in Xiao Huaiqing's body. You must be careful."

"That evil spirit can split itself into two parts. I have one of them on my body, and it can even talk to me."

"But he can't control me, so I ignore him."

Xiao Jingyun had observed Xiao Huaiqing several times and had long discovered this secret from his strange figure.

After hearing what Cuicui said, he said, "It's okay. Go back first and ask Zhang Tianshi to take him in."

"As for Xiao Huaiqing, he can't run away."

Cuicui then flew away, but just as she flew out of the tent, Yuan Huaizhi said, "I have turned from evil to good and am now a good bird. Can't you show some mercy and say something good for me?"

Cuicui: "You are talking nonsense all the time. I don't believe you."

"Don't try to get close to me. I'll fly too low and shoot an arrow straight through you."

Yuan Huaizhi: “…” You said it as if it wasn’t your body.
