Chapter 788 Specifically designed to sabotage teammates

Qi Heng took Lin Yuesha for a walk and visited ordinary people's homes. His only purpose was to encourage gossip and spread the news that he was getting married.

By the time Wang Jinhu arrived at the military camp, he had already received the news.

"My lord, you are getting married, such an important event, and you didn't even invite your subordinates to the ceremony."

Wang Jinhu is Wang Binglan's older brother. He looks very honest and simple. He blushed immediately when he looked at Lin Yuesha.

"Let's talk about it after the Northwest is stabilized."

This ceremony was too simple and will definitely need to be held later. Qi Heng was secretly pleased that it was just to confirm his status.

Having been called "Young Madam" hundreds of times, the saying "three men make a tiger" applies to everything, and Lin Yuesha didn't find anything wrong with the title and readily accepted it.

"My lord, I received a message from Commander Gu this morning. Please take a look."

Wang Jinhu had something to report, and Lin Yuesha wisely tried to avoid it, but Qi Heng kept her there, letting her rest and have tea in the room.

Qi Heng opened a small note, and frowned after reading it.

After Wang Jinhu left, Lin Yuesha asked, "Is the Gu Qianhu you mentioned Gu Yi?"

Lin Yuesha still had to ask about her future brother-in-law. Jiang Baozhu had been waiting for news of Gu Yi, but he seemed to have disappeared.

"Yes, he's in the border town."

The border town has been occupied by foreign tribes, and it is extremely difficult to make them withdraw their troops. If the previous defenses had not been so incompetent and had not been so stingy with military supplies, the border town would not have fallen.

Gu Yi led a small team to hide in the border town, organizing the people and courageous men to fight against the foreign tribes, but so far, the results have been minimal.

We must find a way to take back the border town as soon as possible. If the people give up resistance, then we will truly miss a golden opportunity.

Lin Yuesha was unfamiliar with warfare. She glanced at the sand table and discovered that there was a natural barrier between the Great Qi and the alien races.

Where is this?

Lin Yuesha pointed to one of the spots and asked, "Going through here would be perfect for flanking the alien race."

"The no-man's-land between the Great Qi and the foreign tribes."

Qi Heng stared at the sand table in deep thought. To retake the city, he had to pass through the no-man's-land, but that was not so easy.

Over the past hundred years, the Sanbusu area has long since become an independent city called Wucheng, which is as solid as a rock.

If they pass through here, it will pose a threat to this area, and the city lord of Wucheng will not allow it.

"But if there's no other way, we'll have to give it a try."

The reason they didn't agree was because the benefits offered weren't enough. If they were more generous, the city lord would likely reconsider.

Therefore, if you want to speak on behalf of the city lord, you must find out his weaknesses.

In any case, the alien race has wanted to enter Daqi from Wucheng for many years but has not succeeded. They once sent people there, but they were killed by the city lord.

"The alien races dare not act rashly. If they offend the city lord of Wucheng, they can simply open the gates and let in the soldiers of our Great Qi, forcing the alien races to their stronghold."

The city lord of Wucheng was a middle-aged man in his early forties. He was very capable; otherwise, Wucheng would not have been peaceful for so many years.

If the border hadn't fallen, Qi Heng would never have considered attacking Wucheng. It would have been time-consuming and laborious, and whether it would have succeeded was hard to say. He disliked people and things he couldn't control.

With the war in the Northwest urgent, Qi Heng did not linger in the oasis town and returned to the main camp with Lin Yuesha.

When they returned to Xiyuan, Baicha immediately rushed over, pulled her around and looked her over from left to right, and then burst into tears.

"Miss, it's my fault for not taking good care of you."

After walking for more than a day, Bai Cha couldn't find any trace of the young lady anywhere and was almost frantic with worry.

"Go out for a while, and you won't encounter any of the things you're thinking about."

Lin Yuesha rubbed Bai Cha's head; she was a little tired and wanted to take a nap.

When Lin Yuesha woke up, it was already early morning of another day. She opened her eyes and saw Bai Cha's swollen eyes.

"You didn't sleep all night?"

Lin Yuesha finished washing and dressing, but before she could even put on her hair, she was still wearing a traditional Chinese woman's hairstyle, which made her feel quite awkward.

"This servant is somewhat saddened."

Bai Cha stared at the ceiling, feeling saddened that she had lost her sisters and her reputation.

"Has something unexpected happened?"

Lin Yuesha roughly guessed that Houfen had revealed her true identity, which Baicha couldn't accept for a while.

“I have lost my sisters, but I have gained a brother.”

No, it should be "lecherous scoundrel"!

Bai Cha blushed. She treated Hou Fen like a sister, even sharing details about her personal life. She should have suspected it long ago. She was just stupid and didn't realize that the person wearing makeup was a man!

Now look what's happened. She's lost her reputation, and Houfen still has the nerve to bring up the meal she owes her.

"So, Sister Shion... Shion is here too?"

Lin Yuesha comforted Bai Cha, who was also one of the victims. Before this, she didn't know that Zi Yuan was a man.

"This servant almost forgot to mention, Young Master Zi has come to propose marriage!"

Ziyuan brought a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, a thick stack of banknotes, and house and land deeds, which dazzled Baicha's eyes. She finally understood what it meant to be richer than a country.

"Young Master Zi said that he is sincere towards you and wants to propose marriage."

Bai Cha never expected that her daughter could fetch an even better price!

However, now that the ceremony for Miss and Pockmarked Face has been held, it wouldn't make sense to change the person.

Young Master Zi is rich and sincere. He traveled all the way to the Northwest, not caring about the young lady's already engaged reputation. Moreover, she is stunningly beautiful, far superior to the pockmarked-faced girl.

Bai Cha was very annoyed; the young lady had married too early.

"Where is he?"

Lin Yuesha didn't see Ziyuan and hurriedly asked.

She didn't have any other thoughts about Ziyuan. Anyway, Ziyuan was a money-grubber and Pockmarked Face was a conman. Changing people would just be jumping from one fire pit to another.

"I heard that the Prince of Luo was going to send someone to Wucheng to sue for peace. He figured that the city lord of Wucheng might like beautiful women, so he tricked Young Master Zi into going there, saying that you were a guest in Wucheng."

Bai Cha rubbed her face. She was the one who tricked Hou Fen. She shouldn't feel guilty. Hou Fen lied to her first!

"He was the only one who went?"

Lin Yuesha stood at the doorway, gazing into the distance. It wasn't just her who had fallen into the pit; there were others who had taken the fall with her. She realized that these people were acting independently, deliberately sabotaging their teammates.

"And Lord Xu."

After Bai Cha finished speaking, he sighed with worry. The foreign tribes were killing the people of Daqi every day and hanging their heads on the city walls as a provocation.

After several battles between the two sides without much progress, persuading the city lord of Wucheng was indeed crucial.

"My cousin isn't a beauty, so why did he go along too?"

Even Xu Da was no match for eloquence; when he sent someone to plead his case, it backfired spectacularly.

"Although Lord Xu is not a beauty, but..."

Bai Cha learned the inside story and heard that the city lord of Wucheng had a daughter whom he doted on. In case Ziyuan was not useful, Xu Da was still a substitute.

"Lord Xu is a man of exceptional appearance and talent. Are you perhaps mistaken about something?"

Bai Cha suspected that her young mistress had been looking at pockmarked faces for too long, causing her aesthetic sense to become severely distorted, making her unable to distinguish between beauty and ugliness.

If it weren't for Lord Xu's cold nature, his appearance alone would be more than enough to make him a male prostitute at Wenjun Tower.
