"Your Highness, why don't we charge in?" The female general gripped her spear tightly, her eyes revealing a growing murderous intent.
The major general also made this suggestion. With the strength of their 100,000 Black Riders, they could have taken over Fengdu City. However, they used a trick to lure out a dozen or so civilians to force Fengdu to surrender in order to reduce the bloodshed.
Now, a person who looks remarkably like Miss Nan has suddenly appeared, disrupting their plans and also unsettling the prince's mind.
Qin Yi's gaze fell on Nan Qianyue's shoulder, which was being held. His hand tightened around the reins, his dark eyes were like a frozen pool, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
He moved his slightly pale lips, "Cover me."
The major general and the female general were immediately startled. "Your Highness, you mustn't!"
They were both extremely worried; they hadn't even confirmed if it was Miss Nan yet, and the prince was already going crazy.
Qin Yi turned his head and instructed a middle-aged general, "General Li, once I fly up to the city wall and rescue her, you immediately lead the vanguard to attack the city. Tell General Hong and the others not to act rashly before I return."
General Li had guarded the frontier for many years and naturally possessed a strong sense of pride, but he admired Qin Yi the most and rarely questioned his orders. "Does the Marshal mean a feint attack?"
Qin Yi nodded, he trusted General Li completely.
"Your Highness!"
The female general wanted to persuade him further, but she couldn't keep up with the prince's decisiveness.
Without hesitation, Qin Yi placed three arrows on his bow and shot them at Yang Hua and the Lord of Fengdu City. As the arrows flew out, he followed suit and leaped into the air.
The major general and the female general had followed Qin Yi for more than ten years and had long developed an irreplaceable tacit understanding. They immediately imitated Qin Yi's way and flew to the two sides of the city wall respectively.
Yang Hua did not expect Qin Yi to make this move. While dodging the arrows, he also had to protect the city lord. He was caught between two hands and had no choice but to release Nan Qianyue.
"General! Qin Yifei has arrived!"
"Release the arrows!"
Countless arrows rained down on the three men who were trying to fly up the city wall.
Yang Hua handed the old city lord over to the soldiers for protection, and then took a long spear and thrust it at Qin Yi, who was about to fly up.
Seeing this, Nanqian Yue did not hesitate to kick Yang Hua in the armpit. Yang Hua felt a pain and almost dropped his spear.
In that brief moment of delay, Qin Yi spun around against the wall and flipped inside, his back to Nan Qianyue as he blocked Yang Hua's murderous attack.
At the same time, Qin Yi's right-hand men flew up, wielding their weapons with incredible speed, killing every attacking soldier with a single blow.
Nan Qianyue's heart was pounding. She had never seen a dead person before, let alone witnessed a murder. The screams and the sounds of weapons clashing were jarring her ears.
In her haste, she picked up the knife from the ground, wanting to help but not daring to actually cut.
"Grab that woman!"
Yang Hua took a break and gave orders to his soldiers. Upon receiving the order, the soldiers attacked Nanqianyue, but Qin Yi blocked them all.
"Your Highness! Take her away quickly!"
The major general charged over, blocking Yang Hua and shouting at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi slashed a soldier who was approaching Nanqianyue to death with a single blow, then stretched out his arm to pull her into his arms and leaped down at the same time.
Nanqianyue was so frightened that her soul almost flew out of her body. Without Via's protection, she could only cling to Qin Yi like an octopus.
The wind whistled in my ears, swords clashed, and a booming sound echoed from below the city walls.
"Attack the city—!"
She only slowly opened her eyes when she felt the person she was holding mounting a horse.
What came into view was the man's broad shoulders clad in black iron armor and his bobbing Adam's apple, while she had her limbs wrapped around his neck and waist.
A wave of embarrassment washed over her, and Nan Qianyue immediately loosened her impolite limbs and tried to back away, but she clearly felt an unusual burning sensation on her buttocks... it was a man's hand.
She couldn't back down, and her expression twisted in disbelief.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, why is there no movement from behind?"
Taking advantage of the chaos, the major general and the female general flew back to their camp. Their eyes fell on the woman Qin Yi was holding in his arms, and the sorrow in their eyes grew deeper.
Qin Yi's cold gaze swept over the chaotic city walls. "Withdraw the troops."
General Li had excellent hearing. Upon receiving the order, he raised his hand to signal the flag bearer to direct the army to retreat.
Qin Yi rode off first, instructing no one to follow.
He didn't intend to return to camp, but instead ran towards the woods next to the military camp.
Nanqianyue couldn't stand it anymore; she seriously suspected that this man was taking advantage of her.
"Hey, thank you for saving me, but you don't need to hug me like that. Don't you think it's rude?" Nan Qianyue looked up at the man's angular chin and reminded him.
Qin Yi didn't speak, but squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and increased the speed.
The intense upheaval, coupled with their current position, filled Nan Qianyue with both anger and shame. She raised her fist and pounded on the man's shoulder, yelling, "Bastard! Put me down!"
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Nanqianyue's voice was tired from shouting, and Qin Yi finally stopped the warhorse. They passed through the forest and came to a grassland.
He silently removed his armor.
"cough."
Nan Qianyue touched her throat and said weakly, "Can you let me down now?"
She looked up, just as Qin Yi lowered his head. His scarlet eyes made Nan Qianyue's heart tremble slightly.
This man... why does he look like he's about to cry?
No, he hates her.
No, no, there was both affection and resentment in his eyes.
No, no, no, there's also a strong... longing?
Nanqian Yue was instantly captivated, because she couldn't possibly portray such a complex expression in her eyes.
"You..." Nan Qianyue pointed to her head and asked, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Qin Yi stared at the woman he had longed for day and night, the woman who had been on his mind day and night. He had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know whether to question the punishment first or express his longing first.
