While Chaoge in the north had never experienced war, the entire land of China was engulfed in constant conflict.

Various kings vied for supremacy, neighboring countries were at war with each other, and the people of the world were in dire straits.

In early September, the first heavy snow fell, and the iron cavalry from the north broke through the Jiyin River, advancing eastward all the way to Taiyuan.

The troops from the Western Regions also took advantage of the situation to attack southward, plundering countless treasures from Northern You. They crossed the Mohe River and reached Shangyang in Northern You. Emperor You was terrified and wrote to the Emperor of the Central Plains, requesting military assistance.

After receiving the official letter, Shen Yan summoned the envoys of various countries, intending to cease hostilities and invite the kings, noble families, and powerful figures of the north to the capital for a banquet.

The wind howled from the north, and winter snow covered the roof tiles, blanketing the entire Libei military camp.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yan Beimo had just conquered Gaozhou and was discussing the war in Taiyuan.

Chu Changning sat in his lap, looking at the battle reports coming from all over the country, his eyes slightly darkened.

What are you thinking about?

Her cheeks were suddenly pinched, and cold fingers probed into her mouth and stirred around.

Chu Changning suddenly came to his senses.

That crazy man, besides tormenting her every night, his greatest pleasure was humiliating and toying with her.

I really want to bite his finger off.

She disgustedly tried to spit his hand out with her tongue.

Yan Beimo thrust even deeper, playfully entwining his tongue with hers.

Chu Changning hated his behavior to death, but on the surface she still had to pretend to be obedient and lick his boots.

"My lord, General Shang requests an audience."

The voices of guards could be heard from outside.

Yan Beimo paused, withdrew his hand, and walked to the washbasin to wash his hands.

As he was leaving, he spoke to Chu Changning, who was sitting in a chair.

"Tell someone what you would like to eat."

"knew."

She obediently agreed, and as soon as he left, she immediately went to the table, gulped down a large mouthful of water, and then spat it out.

The tent was completely silent.

Chu Changning listened at the door for a while, but didn't hear any footsteps. He immediately went back to his desk and began searching for the military map.

She has been searching for many days, but she just can't find it.

The world is in constant turmoil. The Yanbei Desert massacred aristocratic families. The man is eccentric and has been fighting for years.

She guessed that he wanted to become emperor.

Therefore, she wanted to use Yan Beimo and Helian Ye's desire to compete for the land of Kyushu and unify the world to find a way out for herself.

Taking advantage of the chaos of war across the land, and the fighting in various places, feigning death and leaving through Helian Ye's mutiny was her only way out.

She didn't want to be kept like a caged bird by him for the rest of her life.

Yan Beimo is a madman. Don't be fooled by his seemingly normal appearance. He is bloodthirsty, cruel, and capable of destroying the world. If he goes crazy, she can't handle it.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when suddenly, a wave of nausea washed over her, making her feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

Chu Changning shook his head uncomfortably and continued searching.

If he's not in his military tent, then where could he be? Could there be a secret room here?

She needed to take a look at the marching map and make a fake one to fool Helian Ye; she couldn't just make one randomly, or it would be exposed.

Located on the border, the northern region is cold.

A stove was burning inside the tent, but her hands and feet were still a little cold.

Chu Changning wrapped her ankles in the cold and twisted the porcelain vases in front of the bookshelf, trying to see if there were any hidden mechanisms.

Finding nothing there, she disappointedly put the items back in their place.

The snow was falling heavily outside. At the entrance of the military tent, soldiers held broadswords, their silver armor gleaming. Not far away, patrolling guards were stationed.

Chu Changning came out wearing a cloak and exhaled a breath of cold air.

With such heavy snow, I wonder if Taozhi is still in Qingxian?

She sighed and walked through the tents toward the kitchen at the back.

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

Strangely enough, her appetite has been getting bigger lately.

Chicken soup was simmering in the pot in the kitchen.

Chu Changning smelled the aroma and felt incredibly hungry.

"Madam, why did you come in person? What would you like to eat? This old servant will bring it to you."

Seeing the steward looking obsequiously at the woman at the door, everyone busy in the kitchen looked over curiously.

What a nice view.

She wore a long crescent-shaped dress with a red mink coat over it, and her small face was free of makeup, like a lotus emerging from the water.

Just standing there, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

I had long heard that Marquis Yan had brought his wife to the military camp this time, but I had never met her before and had no idea she was so beautiful.

Chu Changning coughed lightly, brushed the snow off his clothes, and slowly walked inside.

Everyone quickly snapped out of their daze and got back to their work.

Chu Changning walked straight to the stove where soup was bubbling and swallowed hard.

The steward saw through her thoughts and spoke respectfully with a smile.

"This is freshly stewed, it's delicious and delicious. The road is slippery, so I'll send someone to deliver it to the military tent for the lady."

Chu Changning nodded, feeling that it wasn't enough to eat, and looked around before setting his sights on a plate of freshly stir-fried daylily.

"Could you send me some more fresh vegetables?"

She knew the soldiers in the camp weren't eating very well. It was only because of the great victory at Gaozhou that the kitchen had prepared a feast of fish and meat, and fresh vegetables had been transported from Chaoge.

But she's been really hungry lately, especially craving vegetables.

The steward had never met such an easy-going master before, and hurriedly said.

"Please give me whatever you would like to eat, Madam. There will be plenty."

Chu Changning smiled, "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble at all, madam, please take care."

She was too lazy to use an umbrella when she came out, so the steward saw her walking straight into the snow and quickly brought her a red umbrella.

"Madam, please hold up the umbrella."

Chu Changning accepted it without hesitation.

"Thanks."

Not long after she returned to the main tent, the cooks brought over the food.

In addition to the few dishes she mentioned, we added several more dishes for her.

Chu Changning was already hungry, so he sat down and started eating.

The snow fell outside, and the moon's shadow gradually disappeared.

When Yan Beimo returned through the snow, she saw the table full of food. She was slurping chicken soup, her cheeks flushed.

A cold wind and chilly air rushed in.

His black cloak was covered in the marks of time.

Chu Changning looked up and swallowed the last mouthful of chicken soup.

"You've been eating a lot lately."

Yan Beimo approached, picked her up, and touched her flat stomach.

"Where did they all go to eat?"

Chu Changning inwardly scoffed, but then, finding him too cold, she spoke up.

"It's warm inside, my lord, please take off your clothes."

Yan Beimo noticed her disdain and deliberately moved closer to her.

A chilling aura swept over them, and the two suddenly closed the distance between them.

Chu Changning instinctively stepped back, but was grabbed by the chin and kissed.

The temperature around us gradually rose, and a beautiful scene unfolded.

She suddenly felt unwell and quickly pushed him away.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Changning forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit and spoke softly.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Yan Beimo thought she hadn't eaten enough, so he ordered someone to bring her another meal.

They even had shark fin and bird's nest.

Chu Changning felt hungry again and swallowed hard.

"Conditions in the barracks are limited, so we'll just have to make do with what we have."

Hearing his words, she pouted.

Yan Beimo was extravagant by nature; when he was in Chaoge, he had hundreds of cooks dedicated to preparing his meals.

Without any hesitation, she lifted her skirt, sat down, and began to eat in small bites.

Yan Beimo wasn't hungry, so he went to the washroom at the back to wash up.
