Meanwhile, Song Yanqing and Lu Qiqi, returning with their spoils, also arrived at the West Gate.
Lu Qiqi arrived at the city gate first, and even though Song Yanqing rode at full speed, he couldn't catch up with her pace.
"Whoa~"
Lu Qiqi tightened the reins, forcing the horse beneath her to stop running.
After the horse came to a steady stop, she turned around and looked back, and saw Song Yanqing dressed in a dark blue outfit, riding a tall horse, galloping towards her with a heroic air.
Song Yanqing tightened the reins and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Qiqi. He smiled and congratulated her, "Congratulations, you won!"
Lu Qiqi didn't feel that it was inappropriate for her to jump the gun. She clasped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Song Yanqing and showed a bright and energetic smile, "Thank you for the honor!"
After laughing and joking, Lu Qiqi looked around and, confirming that there was no one she was looking for, her expectant mood turned somewhat disappointed.
Song Yanqing knew what she was looking for. When he was recuperating in the space, she had said that Wangcai had killed the wolf king and led more than a dozen wolves to chase the wolf pack.
According to Lu Qiqi, Wangcai grew up drinking the spiritual spring water in the space and had long since developed intelligence.
It's possible it might find the city gate and wait for Lu Qiqi to take it home.
During their previous escape from famine, Song Yanqing had also fed Wangcai, and knew how much Wangcai meant to Lu Qiqi.
Thinking of this, Song Yanqing comforted him, "Since Wangcai has gained sentience, he will surely find the city gate one day. I will order people to keep an eye on the area under the city gate."
This was the only solution Song Yanqing could think of for this matter.
Lu Qiqi had no better solution and could only nod slightly, hoping that Wangcai could find the city gate soon.
The area beneath the city gate was empty, and Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing were quickly spotted by the soldiers.
Before long, the city gate slowly opened at Qin Shiyu's command.
Qin Shiyu, with his hair tied up high and wearing armor, appeared at the west gate.
Song Yanqing and Lu Qiqi then urged their horses on and quickly walked into the city gate.
As the city gate behind them closed, Qin Shiyu clasped his hands in a military salute to Song Yanqing, saying, "This humble general greets Your Highness!"
Song Yanqing gripped the reins tightly, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "General Qin, please rise. There's no need for such formalities."
When Qin Shiyu heard the voice, he stood up straight and heard Song Yanqing say, "I have something important to discuss with you. Let's go back and talk."
"yes!"
The two were discussing military matters. Although Lu Qiqi did not hold a military rank, this matter was closely related to her, so she also went to the main tent of the western camp to discuss the matter.
Inside the main tent of the western camp.
The three sat around a round table, and soon someone brought them tea and pastries that could only be sold on the street.
So, under the gazes of both of them, Song Yanqing placed all the pastries in front of him in front of Lu Qiqi.
Qin Shiyu wasn't surprised at all; instead, she gave a smile that seemed perfectly natural.
Let's get back to the main topic.
On his way back to the border town, Song Yanqing went through everything he had heard about Lu Qiqi's absence from the military camp, as well as his many previous suspicions.
He said, "When I left the city this time, I was intercepted by the Tartars on my way back to the camp. Wu Guangping must have spies in the West Gate camp."
Qin Shiyu had already guessed that Wu Guangping had planted spies in the Ximen camp when he learned that Song Yanqing was trapped in Yanlian Mountain.
She said, "What you said is true. Yesterday, on the 15th, I led the troops back to camp and had someone disguise yourself as you to enter the city gate. I found out about two spies that day."
Now Wu Guangping is like an ant on a hot pan, restless and anxious.
Lu Qiqi sipped her tea while eating the pastries in her hand.
Since rushing back to camp last night, she hadn't had a drop of carbohydrates, so now that delicious food was in front of her, she naturally indulged in it.
But when she heard that Wu Guangping had been restless all night, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
In her view, Song Yanqing had almost lost his life outside the border town, while he was now unharmed.
If Song Yanqing hadn't had other plans, she would have rushed to Dongying long ago and killed that traitor Wu Guangping with a single blow.
Feeling suffocated, Lu Qiqi picked up a teacup and poured tea into her mouth.
The pastries in her mouth were swallowed down with the tea, and Lu Qiqi finally felt a little better.
Song Yanqing said, "We can't touch Wu Guangping, this big fish, for the time being."
Qin Shiyu was puzzled. The evidence of Wu Guangping's collusion with the Tatars was conclusive. Now, all that was needed was to imprison him and report to the court to execute this traitor.
She said, "Now that we're just one step away from success, why not put him in jail?"
After Lu Qiqi finished eating and drinking, she noticed that Song Yanqing was still discussing matters and hadn't had a drop of water.
She then took a piece of pastry and placed it in his palm.
Song Yanqing naturally accepted the pastries and put them in his mouth without hesitation. The sweet taste of the pastries tantalized his taste buds.
The actions of the two left Qin Shiyu, a widow, momentarily speechless, as if she had suffered from aphasia.
Lu Qiqi picked up where Qin Shiyu left off, saying, "General Qin, Wu Guangping's death is not a pity, but to let him die like this would be too good for him."
If Qin Shiyu still couldn't understand that these two had another plan after hearing this, then all his years of fighting on the battlefield would have been in vain.
Therefore, Qin Shiyu said, "In that case, this subordinate will await the young master's instructions."
Returning to the main camp's command tent from the western camp, Lu Qiqi felt as if she had been in another world.
The reason is simple: Song Yanqing was recuperating in the space before. Although she cut off the time in the outside world, the time they spent living in the space was real.
"Your Highness!"
"Lord of the Village!"
As soon as Lu Qiqi stepped into the commander's tent, she heard two shouts.
A mature and calm demeanor.
A dish that looks very childish.
