Qin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
The whole place was filled with golden needles and scattered flowing clouds, and the light on the bed was hazy. Before I knew it, it was already noon.
Ming Zhanxue was lying on the bed facing him.
Qin Yuan passed his right arm through her thick, satin-like hair, letting the beauty lean on his neck and pillow her chin, firmly holding her delicate face, which was the size of a palm. His left arm, however, was around her curvy body, and his palm rested on her body. The touch was full, thick, soft and smooth, and the taste was indescribable.
"Husband, is it really okay if you don't go?"
Ming Zhanxue opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of attachment and reluctance.
Qin Yuan laughed and said, "Of course it's okay."
"Pharmacist Li's abilities are absolutely beyond everyone's imagination."
"Such a talent was buried like this. What a stupid woman, a female tyrant."
"My dear, it's already today, why are you still doubting your husband's judgment? You need to teach him a lesson."
Ming Zhanxue said coquettishly: "I am worried about you."
"Speaking of that stupid bitch, I suddenly remembered something. Wife, we should..."
Qin Yuan nudged her forehead with his forehead.
Mingzhan Xuejiao complained: "You... you bully people as soon as you wake up, you big bad guy!"
Qin Yuan's heart moved, and warmth filled his chest. He could not help but hug her tightly, lowering his head and calling softly:
"My wife..."
"You dog assassin, you deserve a beating!" The sweet voice penetrated the wet hair, with a touch of laziness.
One can imagine the beauty gently biting her plump lips, with a tired and cruel look on her face.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile, and a thought came to his mind: "Stupid King, where are you going?"
"Um... traitor... um... thief... human... um... human..."
Ming Zhanxue was breathing heavily, her eyes were like silk, her cheeks were like peaches, and she looked unusually charming and beautiful.
…
…
Imperial Palace.
“A-choo——”
Yan Jiaoran rubbed the wings of her nose, stood with her hands behind her back, looked out the window at the distant sky, and a white-haired old man appeared in her mind.
The old man's eyes had deep scars carved into them, denser than spider spit. Although he was terminally ill, his pair of slanted eyes still sparkled with brilliance.
He held Yan Jiaoran's hand tightly, and his eyes gradually became unfocused.
He whispered, "Xiao Yan'er... Pharmacist Li of Jingzhou... has a lot of tricks up his sleeve... or something that could be used to save someone's life..."
The old man's voice gradually faded away, with only a faint smile hanging on his lips.
Before you know it.
Yan Jiaoran was already in tears.
She gently wiped away her tears.
Muttering to himself:
"Uncle... you bastards... I'm betting everything on you!"
I don’t know how long it took.
Outside the door, Murong Yanran's angry voice came: "Your Majesty, the army to fight against the bandits has set out."
"Okay, I understand." Yan Jiaoran said in a flat tone.
"But...but Your Majesty..." Murong Yanran gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "The fire last night has burned all the food and supplies in Pharmacist Li's camp!"
"Okay, I understand." Yan Jiaoran's tone was still calm.
Murong Yanran was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Uh... Your Majesty... When we set out to fight this morning, we had no military presence at all, worse than the remnants of a defeated army!"
"Okay, I understand." Yan Jiaoran's tone remained calm.
Murong Yanran was a little stunned, then angrily said, "Your Majesty! Commander Qin Yuan deserted the battlefield and did not join the army!"
"Okay, I understand." Yan Jiaoran's tone remained calm.
Murong Yanran: "..."
Your Majesty, are you crazy? Or are you possessed?
What's the difference between such an army attacking the bandits outside the city and committing suicide?
Not only would it be a waste of the Great Zhou's military strength, it would also embolden the rebels and bring about even greater disasters...
Murong Yanran complained passionately, "Qin Yuan's actions are lawless and blatantly defy the imperial decree. He must be punished to restore national prestige!"
"Okay, I understand." Yan Jiaoran's tone remained calm.
For a while.
Murong Yanran didn't know what to do and stood at the door in a daze.
When you hesitate.
A spy from the Imperial City Bureau delivered an urgent report.
Remove the seal.
Just one glance.
Murong Yanran was shocked, how could this be possible!
Immediately, he was overjoyed, and his tense expression blossomed like a flower. He exclaimed, "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory!!!"
"Bring it in and read it."
Yan Jiaoran was very calm.
Murong Yanran pushed the door open and walked in, looking at Yan Jiaoran's back, and said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, great victory!"
"Pharmacist Li defeated 3,000 bandits at Luofengpo, and the bandit leader, Jia Renlu, surrendered!"
After hearing this.
"Tell me about this battle."
Yan Jiaoran slowly turned around, her expression was as calm as if she had just woken up, her eyes were relaxed and peaceful.
If it weren't for the faint smile on her face.
Murong Yanran began to doubt whether His Majesty was really possessed by evil spirits, and considered going to the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples outside the city to find some respected monks to perform some rituals.
Although I feel confused.
But on the surface.
She did not dare to delay and immediately said loudly:
"Your Majesty, everything that happened today was a trick by Pharmacist Li to lure the enemy!"
"Last night, thieves did break into the baggage camp and set it on fire."
"However, this was done intentionally by Pharmacist Li, General Li, in order to paralyze the enemy."
"After this battle, if anyone sees a military force that looks worse than refugees in the morning, no one will have any hope for this army anymore."
"General Li then implemented a plan to reduce the number of stoves, and the number of men continued to decrease along the way. By the time we reached the foot of Luofeng Slope, only about 200 men were left."
"The rest of the soldiers, while appearing to be fleeing, were actually ambushing in the Xishi Gorge ahead of time."
