The woman froze, staring blankly at Wang Yan, and murmured.
"General..."
At this moment, Qin Qing walked over, pressed Wang Yan down directly, and said sarcastically.
"General, you're truly amazing! You sent your wife to call for reinforcements, while you traveled all this way to help defend the city, all while enjoying the company of beautiful women... living a carefree and happy life..."
Wang Yan had just woken up and before he could even feel happy, he heard Qin Qing's sarcastic remarks.
Even the most straight man realized he seemed to have been misunderstood, and said helplessly.
"Don't overthink it, I don't know her!"
Then, looking at the woman standing on the ground in a daze, he frowned and said.
Who are you?
The woman was taken aback, then looked very sad and aggrieved.
"General, I've been taking care of you all this time! The soldiers in the army can all testify to this! When you were defending the city, I brought you meals! You even praised my cooking."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing looked at Wang Yan with a cool gaze. Did she lack him for food or drink?
Wang Yan then realized the seriousness of the situation and, in a moment of panic, quickly made a promise.
"I really don't recognize her. There's more than one person delivering food to the army. I... I really don't know! Madam... you have to believe me!"
The soldiers who rushed over upon hearing the commotion were surprised to hear this statement as soon as they reached the door. Their first reaction was: "This woman really is the general's wife!"
The enemy suddenly retreated swiftly! Upon seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city immediately reported to Commander Xiong, who had previously intercepted Qin Qing, and everyone instantly went on high alert!
Hundreds of thousands of troops marched in from afar, raising clouds of dust...
Upon realizing this unexpected turn of events, the enemy vanguard immediately chose to retreat!
On the city wall, a soldier suddenly widened his eyes in shock, then reacted and excitedly shouted to those around him!
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived! His Majesty has sent people to rescue us!!"
A deafening roar instantly reached everyone's ears, followed by a surge of immense joy. Everyone looked up, their initial wariness and unease replaced by hope…
"They're here! They're really here!"
"Great! We're saved!"
"Damn it, it's finally here! I could barely hold on any longer!"
A cacophony of excited shouts erupted from within the city, and everyone's face beamed with the smiles of rebirth. The soldiers, disabled yet determined, the exhausted civilians, and the frail elderly, women, and children came into view one by one.
At least, that's what Qin Qing saw! This was the only time in the three or four days she had been here that she had seen a smile on someone's face.
Meanwhile, Deputy General Zhang and Huang Zhong accelerated their advance from a distance, and the soldiers' morale soared. With their overwhelming advantage, they quickly forced the enemy vanguard back to the enemy's rear camp.
Seemingly caught off guard by the sudden arrival of Tianlong Kingdom's reinforcements, they had no chance to react and could only retreat in disarray. However, it was too late, and they had no choice but to engage in combat with the enemy.
Clearly, a force of several thousand men was no match for an army of tens of thousands. Even if the enemy vanguard was highly skilled and well-coordinated, it could not prevent this battle from being almost overwhelming!
The battle beneath the city walls was filled with bloodshed and cruelty, yet it drew cheers and jubilation from the soldiers within Flowing Cloud City! Shouts, excited cries, and frenzied howls echoed for a long time.
The pent-up frustration and despair that had been building up for three months finally erupted at this moment!
Before long, the vanguard team, which had previously made the people of Liuyun City wary of them with a force of only a few thousand men, lay motionless on the ground!
The icy grassland tribe's army, encamped in the distance, quickly noticed the anomaly. The leading general swiftly made a decision: all soldiers immediately rested and retreated twenty miles...
With this victory, the Tianlong Kingdom army was greatly boosted in morale! The soldiers in Liuyun City opened the city gates to warmly welcome the reinforcements they had been longing for!
For the first time in over three months, all the citizens of Liuyun City showed up to welcome the army as hundreds of thousands of troops entered their territory.
Qin Qing helped Wang Yan out of the clinic. Wang Yan was no longer the spirited man he once was. His pale lips looked weak, but his eyes still held a certain power, piercing straight into people's hearts as before.
The two deputy generals, Zhang and Huang, who had just entered the city, immediately noticed the two people at the back of the crowd, which speaks volumes about Qin Qing's clean and tidy appearance...
For over three months, Liuyun City was under siege. Everyone in the city lived in constant fear, terrified that they would be killed in their sleep one day, let alone have enough to eat, wear, and take a hot bath...
Qin Qing, however, changed out of the enemy soldier's uniform and cleaned herself up, making her stand out from ordinary people, not to mention her already beautiful face.
Excited smiles instantly spread across their faces. They leaped off their horses and charged straight at Wang Yan…
"General...you're really here, that's wonderful!"
"This... General, you're injured?!"
The two men were indeed focused on different things. Deputy General Zhang noticed the weak Wang Yan and quickly stopped Huang Zhong from giving him a bear hug. Huang Zhong only realized Wang Yan's unusual behavior after he finished speaking and angrily said...
"Who did this? How dare they injure my cousin like this... I, Huang Zhong, will never let them get away with this!"
Qin Qing watched silently for a long time, and after hearing these words, she said coolly.
"If you want revenge... you've already taken half of it. The fatal wound was probably Prince Chloe's doing. An arrow through the chest isn't something an ordinary soldier can do! Go ahead and take your revenge, no one's stopping you!"
That big oaf really needs to be taught a lesson. Last time she tried to enter the palace, if it weren't for Deputy General Zhang's help, given Huang Zhong's personality, she would definitely have been arrested by the guards at the gate. Let alone sending troops, there would have been absolutely no chance of her even seeing the old emperor!
You still speak impulsively without thinking at all!
Huang Zhong was quite displeased upon hearing this.
"What do you mean by that? Don't think I won't dare to make a move just because you're a woman! That Prince Chloe looks like a sissy, do you think I can't kill him?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Wang Yan cleared his throat a few times, then glanced at Huang Zhong, which made him shut up reluctantly. He then looked helplessly at Qin Qing.
"He's always been impulsive, don't take it to heart!"
Huang Zhong: "..."
What bad luck! His cousin really has forgotten his brother now that he has a wife! He's never spoken to him so gently before! Women... ha! His little peony is the best, unlike this woman who's like a shrew.
Qin Qing noticed Huang Zhong's displeasure and frustration, and simply snorted before helping Wang Yan sit down to rest... Knowing Huang Zhong's inner turmoil, she wondered how he would handle the situation!
That night, unlike the excited and joyful atmosphere in Flowing Cloud City, Prince Kolo of the Ice Mountain Grassland Tribe finally woke up, his body burning with pain, which drove him crazy!
