Pei Zhi seemed not to understand Yuan Chengyu's words: "What do you mean by that, General?"

"He is, after all, your own brother. If you need anything, we might..."

If Pei Zhi still doesn't understand what Yuan Chengyu means after he's already said this much, then it means Pei Zhi is stupid.

"General, you really are..." Pei Zhi chuckled. "If you can't bring yourself to do it tomorrow, then I will personally finish off this traitorous beast."

Pei Zhi's words put Yuan Chengyu's mind at ease.

This also put Yuan Chengyu's mind at ease a little.

Without Pei Zhi's guarantee, Yuan Chengyu really wouldn't have dared to do anything to Pei Yuance.

Pei Yuance is, after all, Pei Zhi's biological brother. If Pei Zhi holds a grudge in the future, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

Pei Zhi's tent was next to Yuan Chengyu's. The two chatted for a few minutes about tomorrow's plans, and then Yuan Chengyu escorted Pei Zhi back to her tent.

"If anything happens, just call me right away."

Pei Zhi nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."

Seeing Pei Zhi enter the tent, Yuan Chengyu was still worried and walked around Pei Zhi's tent.

Although soldiers were on guard duty in the military camp at night.

But in a military camp full of men, Yuan Chengyu always had some worries.

Pei Zhi poured herself a glass of water, pondering when Yuan Chengyu had fallen for her.

No wonder it was so perfectly timed; it turns out that Yuan Chengyu did it on purpose.

If Yuan Chengyu hadn't volunteered, Pei Zhi would have had a hard time persuading Emperor Pei to come to the border.

Pei Zhi toyed with the cup in her hand, since Yuan Chengyu liked her.

Why not make good use of it?

Since Yuan Chengyu has already offered himself up, why not take advantage of it?

Pei Zhi was originally worried that she would be hampered in the military camp, but now...

Pei Zhi chuckled softly. With Yuan Chengyu around, everything became much simpler.

Pei Zhi disdained using a honey trap to achieve any goal, but if it could achieve twice the result with half the effort, why not?

The following morning, Yuan Chengyu assembled his troops and surrounded the city.

Yuan Chengyu took a gun and shot the rope, severing it. The body of the flag-bearer general fell to the ground.

The prince of Solo quickly ascended the city wall and shouted, "Solo has won two cities and has no desire for further conflict."

"As long as your country signs an agreement for a three-year ceasefire, the Kingdom of Solo is willing to return your prince."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers around Yuan Chengyu couldn't help but swear.

"What a shameless bastard! He won through underhanded tactics and still has the nerve to brag about it?"

Yuan Chengyu shouted, "Attack the city!"

Seeing that they remained unmoved, the prince of Solo waved his hand, and soon Pei Yuance was brought up to the city wall.

A knife was still held across Pei Yuance's neck.

"Make them stop right now, or I'll kill you right now."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuance immediately shouted, "I am the Fifth Prince. No matter who is below the city, stop for me!"

Yuan Chengyu remained silent, but the soldiers beside him dared not charge any further.

"My father is above all others. If I die here today, he will surely avenge me in the future. Let's see who among you wants to die?"

Upon hearing this, the people below immediately lost their drive.

Yes, this is His Majesty's son. If he were to die here because of them...

Even if we win in the end, His Majesty will definitely settle scores with them.

No one dared to make any rash moves.

Yuan Chengyu looked at Pei Zhi, who was looking at Pei Yuance on the city wall.

Yuan Chengyu kicked the horse and moved it directly to the front.

Pei Zhi called out loudly, "Royal Brother!"

Pei Yuance was incredulous when he first heard Pei Zhi's voice.

He stared wide-eyed, and seeing Pei Zhi indeed standing below the city wall, Pei Yuance was so excited he almost jumped up.

"Little sister, it's so good that you're here! Please come and save me!"

The soldiers beside Yuan Chengyu immediately started discussing among themselves, not understanding what was going on.

The prince's sister, isn't that a princess?

The short woman beside the former general was actually a princess of the dynasty?

Pei Zhi loudly questioned, "Royal brother, did you really kill the General of the Escort Banner?"

"Sister, don't worry about that now. Just agree to the demands of the Kingdom of Solo and bring me back first."

"Brother, Father said that the city must be taken back, and your life or death is not important."

"Impossible!" Pei Yuance shouted excitedly. "I am the Emperor's son, how could he say such a thing?"

"Little sister, I'm your own brother! I'm the closest person to you in this world! You must save me!"

“Yes,” Pei Zhi replied, “I came because I was worried about my brother.”

"Yes, sister, you have to save me, otherwise if I die, how will you live?"

Pei Zhi reached out her hand to Yuan Chengyu, who was puzzled.

Pei Zhi replied simply and directly: "Bow and arrow."

Yuan Chengyu hesitated for a moment before handing the bow and arrow in his hand to Pei Zhi.

You probably can't draw my bow.

After Yuan Chengyu finished speaking, he saw Pei Zhi reach out and try it.

Seeing Pei Zhi easily draw his bow, Yuan Chengyu shut his mouth completely.

“Brother, it is because I am worried about you that I have decided to see you off in person.”

Pei Zhi drew his bow and aimed at Pei Yuance.

Pei Yuance realized what Pei Zhi was about to do and quickly shouted, "Pei Zhi, how dare you? I'm your own brother!"

Pei Zhi aimed at Pei Yuance's head and then loosened her grip.

The sword pierced through Pei Yuanze's head, and Pei Yuanze instantly fell to the ground.

Pei Zhi lowered his bow and shouted, "Soldiers, charge!"

Everyone was shocked by Pei Zhi's courage; even a princess could be so bold.

These soldiers, of course, cannot be looked down upon.

Pei Yuance is dead, and the soldiers have been feeling stifled for far too long.

The Kingdom of Solo was never a match for them to begin with, and this time, they wouldn't have fared so poorly if they hadn't resorted to underhanded tactics.

The soldiers suffered such a great loss, and they were filled with resentment.

Pei Zhi was not to be outdone. He grabbed a knife, mounted his horse, and charged in.

Yuan Chengyu was worried about Pei Zhi, so he stayed close to her side, wanting to protect her.

Soon, Yuan Chengyu realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Pei Zhi's skills were no worse than his, and she was also quite strong.

They fought their way through and quickly broke down the city gate.

With one of the two lost cities recovered, morale soared.

Pei Zhi also found Pei Yuanze's body, which had been trampled beyond recognition; he deserved it.

Yuan Chengyu proposed that Pei Yuance's body be buried together with that of the General of the Escort Flag with great ceremony.

Pei Zhi asked, "On what grounds?"

"How valiant was the General of the Escort Flag! He was killed by Pei Yuanze, yet he still wants to be buried with Pei Yuanze with great honors?"

Pei Zhi sneered, "If I were the General of the Escort Flag, I would be so angry I'd come back to life."
