The Great Xia Dynasty, the Four-Sided City on the Frontier.

The orderly sound of horses' hooves made the flat ground tremble.

"not good!"

"They're from the Qin family army!"

"Run!"

"Lieutenant, there are pursuers behind us too! What should we do?"

"There is nowhere left to go."

The soldiers of this small Loulan army were thrown into panic.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves was almost upon them, and soon the Loulan army was surrounded.

The man who rode in on horseback was clad in armor and possessed an androgynous, exquisite face that caused everyone present to momentarily lose their composure in this life-or-death situation.

Qin Wan!

The God of War of the Great Xia Dynasty!

He was also the most handsome man in the Great Xia Dynasty!

He was the dream lover of countless young women in the Great Xia Dynasty!

Yet this very man is a nightmare for many small border countries.

He was invincible, decisive in killing, and like a god of war descended to earth, never suffering defeat wherever he went.

To the smaller nations, he was a devil, but to the Great Xia Dynasty, he was a guardian deity.

Countless people of the Great Xia Dynasty regarded her as a goddess.

Hidden among the prisoners, Qi Xiao subtly glanced at the man sitting on horseback...

Qin Wan was his assassination target.

Surrender and you will not be killed!

"Exterminate all those who resist!"

At the deputy general's command, the soldiers of the Loulan squad in front of him looked at each other, and within a few breaths, they all put down their weapons.

When the prisoners were being counted, Qi Xiao was brought before Qin Wan.

"General, this brave man claims to be from Shengjing. He says he has studied medicine since childhood and is willing to join our Qin family army to serve you."

Qi Xiao had fair skin, a handsome face, and delicate features. Because he had been captured, his handsome face was covered with a few specks of dust, which added a touch of wretched beauty to his exquisite features.

Qin Wan's gaze lingered on Qi Xiao's face for a few seconds before she smiled.

Upon noticing Qin Wan's gaze, Qi Xiao's eyes darkened slightly.

As expected...

As rumored, this General Qin was not interested in women, but it turned out to be because of his homosexuality.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiao lowered his eyes to hide the complex emotions within.

Just as Qi Xiao's mind was racing, a slender, fair hand reached out to his eyes...

"?"

Qi Xiao looked up at Qin Wan in a daze.

"Don't you know medicine?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow.

Qi Xiao snapped out of his daze, clasped his hands in a salute to Qin Wan, and said, "General Qin, I apologize for my rudeness."

Seeing Qi Xiao's politeness, a faint smile flashed in Qin Wan's eyes.

Cool fingertips rested on her fair, warm wrist...

A few breaths later...

Qi Xiao calmly withdrew his hand, clasped his hands, and bowed to Qin Wan again.

"The treatment is complete. The general is in good health and there is nothing seriously wrong."

Qin Wan glanced at him, chuckled softly, and as she turned to leave, her gaze swept over the deputy general beside her.

"Bring them along."

"With war imminent, the army camp needs doctors."

"Yes, General!"

Qin Wan rode away...

Under the arrangement of his deputy, Qi Xiao was fortunate enough to receive a horse by himself.

Sifangcheng (Four-Sided City)

Upon arriving at the military camp, Qi Xiao was assigned by the deputy general to the camp's doctors' quarters, where he spent his days treating wounded soldiers, except for eating and sleeping...

Aside from that first time, he never saw Qin Wan again...

Until the battle resumed!

The Loulan Kingdom, under the pretext that "Qin Wan harmed the prince of another country," attacked the Great Xia Dynasty again, which was the Sifang City that Qin Wan was guarding.

The moment the battle began...

Qin Wan, dressed in military uniform, led hundreds of thousands of soldiers into battle.

"kill!!!"

At a single command, ten thousand horses galloped...

Swords flashing, blood gushing...

Qin Wan rode on a black horse, leaving a trail of corpses in her wake...

Behind the battlefield, Qi Xiao stood on a small hill, watching the bloody scene before him expressionlessly.

He truly deserves to be called the God of Slaughter of the Great Xia Dynasty.

With such skill and strategy, it's no wonder the Loulan Kingdom couldn't defeat them.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiao's cold and indifferent voice rang out.

"Bow and arrow."

Suddenly, a bow and arrow appeared in front of him, which had been empty. Qi Xiao held the bow and arrow and aimed it at Qin Wan.

"Whoosh!"

After a crisp whooshing sound, Qi Xiao didn't even check if he had hit the target before turning around and leaving.

"Clang!"

The instant the swords clashed, Qin Wan's murderous gaze swept towards the spot where Qi Xiao had been standing just a few breaths ago.

There was no one in sight...

Seeing this, Qin Wan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and with a swift stroke of her blade, she reaped countless more Loulan soldiers who had tried to kill her.

"kill!!!"

"rush!!!"

"Soldiers, defend our homeland! For our families, for our country, we must win!!"

"We must win!!"

From dawn till dusk, at the moment the battle was finally declared over, Qin Wan sat upright on her horse, just as straight as a pine tree when she set off at dawn.

Looking at the Loulan soldiers fleeing in disarray not far away, Qin Wan's gaze swept indifferently over the deputy general beside her.

Those who surrender will not be killed.

"Anyone who resists will be killed without exception!"

"Your humble servant obeys!"

The Great Xia military camp.

After returning to the military camp, Qin Wan went back to her tent alone, had the soldiers bring in water, and dismissed everyone before removing her heavy armor and military uniform.

Her long hair fell loosely down...

Her jet-black hair contrasted sharply with her fair and slender shoulders.

Qin Wan sat in the bathtub, her hands resting on the edge of the tub, her chin languidly draped over the back of her hands, her eyes slightly closed.

Hmm...

So tired...

A hot bath feels so good...

It would be even better if no one bothered us...

Thinking of this, Qin Wan relaxed her body without any guard and fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the camp.

The guards watched Qi Xiao, who was carrying a medicine box, with wary expressions.

"General's Camp! No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!"

Two long spears blocked Qi Xiao's path.

Qi Xiao calmly took out the token from his pocket and handed it to the soldier in front of him.

"It was Deputy General Chen who ordered me to come and treat the General."

Upon hearing this, the two soldiers guarding the tent were taken aback. "The General is... injured?"

Before he could finish speaking, the two soldiers snapped out of their daze, exchanged a glance, silently withdrew their spears, and tossed the token back into Qi Xiao's arms.

"Go in."

"Remember, this must not be made public!"

"Yes, I understand."

Inside the camp.

Qi Xiao did not deliberately slow his pace, because he knew very well that the man in the tent was the number one expert in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

No matter how hard he tried to conceal his footsteps, he couldn't escape Qin Wan's sharp ears.

But strangely enough...

As he ventured deeper into the camp, there was not a sound or movement inside.

Qi Xiao frowned almost imperceptibly, tightened his grip on the medicine box, and subconsciously slowed his pace.

Upon arriving in front of the screen, Qi Xiao stopped and bowed in greeting.

"General, I, Qi Xiao, have been ordered to come and bandage your wounds."

...

...

...

After Qi Xiao finished speaking, the tent remained silent, without any response.

Qi Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he tentatively called out again, "General?"

...

...

...

It remained quiet...

No response...
