Ling Qi nodded silently. His expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he praised Qiu Yan for her quick wit.
Because, on the young general's face, there was no longer any arrogance.
Qiu Yan's few simple words caused a complete change in the young general's mind.
However, he was filled with unease.
This unease is for Fengqi.
Looking at Ling Qi again, the young general's face showed respect.
"It turns out that Your Highness is hiding your true abilities. Please forgive my rudeness just now."
He was surprised that the originally cowardly Fourth Prince would one day change completely.
He realized that the Fourth Prince's illness was feigned.
Thinking of the Dongjin soldiers who had passed through this place on their way to the Western Regions, the young general guessed...
The Fourth Prince's journey to the Western Regions must be to intercept the enemy.
Those people are acting suspiciously. According to their prince, they might be involved with gunpowder.
After all, the Western Regions have abundant real estate.
Ultimately, he was just a minor garrison commander.
He dared not gamble on whether the Crown Prince would be able to sit on the throne.
If I hadn't let him go today, and the Fourth Prince had ascended the throne in the future, he would surely have taken revenge on me.
That's enough.
He cupped his hands in greeting and ordered the soldiers to make way for him, saying, "Fourth Prince, young lady, please."
Qiu Yan and Ling Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go!" Ling Qi said, and he and Qiu Yan each rode their horses away.
The road ahead remains winding.
On the way, Ling Qi sincerely said:
"Xiaoyan, this time, we owe you a lot." He said, then took off his mask.
Wearing this on his face made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Qiu Yan: "You're not bad either." Without Ling Qi, she certainly wouldn't be able to handle things on her own.
She smiled calmly; the joy of a successful trip always brings happiness.
She knew that they still had a long way to go and that they had to remain vigilant at all times.
"Did you follow the general to the battlefield before?" Ling Qi looked at Qiu Yan and found it more and more unbelievable.
If she weren't a daughter of a military family like Li Wenshu or Feng Qi, how could she remain calm and fearless in the face of a powerful enemy on the battlefield?
It's rare for an ordinary farm woman to have this kind of courage.
"No," Qiu Yan said slowly.
She's been on countless battlefields, big and small.
However, the time and space are different.
"The general is fortunate to have you as his wife," Ling Qi truly believed.
When I first saw Qiu Yan, it seemed that she had a conflict with a young man named Gao Chong from Luming Academy because of Cuju (ancient Chinese football).
At that time, he even shielded Xiaoyan from an attack.
At the time, he did not think that Miss Qiu Yan was a good match for their general.
After all, given his status as a general, no matter how capable Qiu Yan was, she was still just a businesswoman.
But now, he feels that Xiaoyan is more than a match for the general.
Xiao Yan always manages to turn bad luck into good.
The two moved with lightning speed, galloping their horses through the canyon.
Finally, they emerged from the rugged road.
Ahead, the view suddenly opened up.
As they walked further, desolate figures began to appear before them from time to time.
Among the figures were farmers carrying hoes, hunters carrying prey, rural women with small baskets, and children chasing and playing.
Of course, being on the border, the figures of Northern Qi soldiers would occasionally appear in their sight.
Suddenly, the sound of gongs rang out.
The alarm bells are ringing.
With a whoosh, two cavalrymen darted past the two men.
