At Cao Canjun's command, the gate to the Zhenbei military camp was closed, and a number of soldiers surrounded it.

The Western Chu soldiers' expressions changed drastically.

Jin Jinzhi walked out of the main tent, wearing black armor that shone coldly in the moonlight.

With a wave of his hand, Military Advisor Cao immediately understood, and the Nanyang army surrounded the Western Chu army.

"Why don't you Western Chu people ever learn your lesson?"

"You're up against the King of Jibei! Can't you use your brain a little when you launch a sneak attack?!"

Military Advisor Cao looked on with disdain.

Even the invincible army of Western Chu was no match for this!

Just as the soldiers of Nanyang were cheering, suddenly, a man in a black robe from the Western Chu army drew a flute from his waist and played a strange tune.

The music seemed to be some kind of sorcery, and everyone in the room felt an indescribable sensation and energy affecting their minds.

The black cavalry's horses were somewhat panicked, and several warhorses neighed mournfully.

Cao Canjun, who had been laughing heartily just moments before, suddenly felt a splitting headache and was about to fall off his horse.

Jin Jinzhi leaped up, raised her longbow, and aimed it at the man in black. With a "whoosh," the arrow struck the man in the chest, and the flute music abruptly stopped.

"The Grand Master!"

A general of the Western Chu army shouted loudly, his voice filled with sorrow and grief.

To Jin Jinzhi, it all seemed like a joke.

No matter what methods Western Chu uses, he can handle them.

"Hmph, so what if we won? What are you so smug about?!"

"Princess Nanyang is in the hands of our King!"

Jin Jinzhi was stunned when she heard this, and her whole body stiffened.

How did Duoduo end up in their hands?!

[Isn't Duoduo at the Nanyang Imperial Palace?]

Suddenly, the general saw that Jin Jinzhi seemed to be in a daze. He broke free from the Nanyang army's restraints, grabbed a sword, and threw it at Jin Jinzhi's head.

The two were very close, and Jin Jinzhi was unable to dodge in time, resulting in a bloody scratch on her right cheek.

"Your Highness!"

"Damn it, how dare they hurt our Prince! They're asking for it!"

Enraged, Cao the Military Advisor swung his broadsword at the head of the Western Chu general.

With a swift movement, the knife fell, head hitting the ground.

Those present watched in silence as the blood gushed from the skull.

"Take your soldiers back to the northern frontier."

Jin Jinzhi spoke to a general from the northern frontier beside him.

"Your Highness, the injury on your face..."

The general looked at Jin Jinzhi's face, which was still bleeding, and sighed inwardly.

[Sigh. That bastard ruined the prince's handsome face!]

"It's alright. Take your men back and send someone to report to His Majesty that the matter in the Western Sea has been resolved."

"I will take the princess back with me!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After the soldiers tidied up the Western Chu army present, they prepared to rest for one night and return to the capital early the next morning.

"Military Advisor Cao, take a troop of men and accompany me to the capital of Western Chu."

Military Advisor Cao yawned widely: "The princess is such a worry! Your Highness, could you please leave tomorrow morning?"

Jin Jinzhi gave him a cold look, and Cao Canjun immediately shrank back.

"Yes, Your Highness. We'll depart tonight. I'll go and make the preparations right away."

Cao Canjun was inwardly groaning.

Why doesn't the princess stay in the palace? She's just causing them trouble!

[Isn't the princess a little devil? How come she's been captured by the King of Western Chu?!]

Left with no other choice, Military Advisor Cao ordered his men to set off that very night.

...

Inside the Western Chu Palace, Yun Duoduo was strolling in the garden behind the study, ostensibly to find medicinal herbs to cure Xi Jing's illness, but in reality, she was spying on the defenses of the study.

It's highly likely that the defense map is hidden in the study.

Achoo!

Achoo!

She sneezed several times in a row.

Is someone insulting me?

There are always treacherous people trying to harm this princess.

"Princess, have you found any usable herbs?"

Yun Duoduo was wondering whether she should sneak into the study to take a look, and after checking around, she heard voices behind her.

She turned around and saw that the person who came was Ren Lao.

"Ren Lao, you scared me!"

"Your garden is so winding and twisting, I still haven't figured out the way!"

"To you, is the study right across the street?"

"Could you find me a couple of storybooks, or a few paintings to look at?"

Ren Lao shook his head: "Only the King can enter this study."

"Alright then, I won't bother you any further."

Yun Duoduo pursed her lips, then suddenly noticed that his appearance was a little strange.

Why do you walk so strangely?

"What, you've got a corn too?"

Ren Lao snorted irritably and ignored Yun Duoduo.

I've been constipated for the past two days. My stool is almost up to my anus, but I just can't get it out.

Yun Duoduo suddenly realized, ah, it's constipation.

Her eyes lit up. This was easy. If she could build a good relationship with Ren Lao Ren, she might be able to find out the possible location range of the defense map.

"Ren Lao, wait for me!"

Yun Duoduo ran back to her bedroom, took out a bottle of probiotics from her medicine box, and handed it to Ren Lao.

"Here, drink this, and you'll feel much better when you need to use the toilet!"

Ren Lao looked at Yun Duoduo in surprise, his face turning red instantly.

How did she know?!

No wonder the King always says this little girl is clever; her cleverness is somewhat frightening...
