The military camp is really too big.
There were tents and soldiers everywhere, and every place seemed to look exactly the same, but Chu Dichi had once taught her about the structural distribution of the army.
The flag-raising outposts, cavalry, infantry, the commander-in-chief’s tent, the kitchen… they all look the same, but they are actually different.
Xiang Yue pulled Chu Li angrily.
Chu Li staggered along, observing the surroundings calmly, memorizing every position and every route.
"Open your eyes wide and watch!"
She was shoved hard.
Chu Li nearly fell to the ground. He looked up and saw Qin Muyu with his hands tied and hanging on a wooden stake not far away, who was guarded by eight guards. He had his head lowered and was bleeding from some injury.
Click.
Snap!
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she wanted to rush forward, but Xiang Yue grabbed the silver chain and held it tightly in his hand.
"Now, can you trust me?"
Xiang Yue curled her lips, looked at Chu Li's red eyes and overflowing tears, and felt extremely happy in her heart!
"Not only that, the princess has already ordered a night attack on Southern Xinjiang. We have made every possible preparation this time. After tonight, Southern Xinjiang will be our territory!"
Chu Li burst into tears.
Xiang Yue laughed happily, "Our army will be invincible!"
When she becomes the king of a fallen country, let’s see how she can use her status to seduce His Highness Dong Ling and displease the eldest princess!
His Highness Dong Ling belongs to the eldest princess!
Chu Li was taken back and the silver chain was locked to the corner post of the bed. Xiang Yue had the key.
She wanted to go to the toilet, so Xiangyue took her there.
After coming back, he locked her up again.
Ever since seeing Qin Muyu's miserable condition, Chu Li has been in a very low mood. He sat on the bed without saying a word, with his head down, staring blankly at something he was thinking about, and he sat there for several hours.
Time was running out in the army. In just a few hours, the Nanman army had quickly planned and arranged for a surprise attack at midnight tonight.
In a snap, it’s evening.
Tuoba Mingyue had been busy all day and only now had time to rest, so he came to the tent as soon as possible.
"Princess." He bowed to Yue.
She nodded, glanced at Chu Li who was lying quietly on the couch, and asked in a low voice: "What happened to her?"
Xiang Yue couldn't hide her joy and replied:
"She wants to run away, but I am watching her closely. Princess, please rest assured that with me here, she can't escape."
Tuoba Mingyue frowned, raised his hand and asked her to leave first.
"Young Master Chu."
She walked over and said, "Ye Li treats you sincerely. You have already run away twice. I hope you won't hurt his heart again."
Chu Li slowly raised his head:
"What about you?"
"I?"
Tuoba Mingyue thought of the past, her eyes a little dazed.
It seemed that the first time she met Chu Yeli was when she was six years old. She followed the envoys of the Southern Barbarians to attend a state banquet in Da Chu. Because she was young and playful, she accidentally broke into Qingfengju with two guards.
That was Chu Yeli’s residence.
On a cold winter day, the young man sat in the courtyard, with goose-feather-like white snow falling on his hair and brows. His curled eyelashes were stained with the light snow, full of brokenness and sadness.
Yeliyeli.
Li, this word is not good.
"My father said that love is perfection. I love him, but I also have my own country and people, and there are many things I should do."
Love is not everything in her life.
If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate.
"Me too." said Chu Li.
The topic seemed to fall into silence, and the atmosphere between the two was somewhat quiet.
After a while, Tuoba Mingyue said:
"It seems that we are all helpless."
Chu Li: "How many people can live their life to their fullest? Even if you become an emperor, you will still be restricted in every way."
Tuoba Mingyue sighed. She also liked Chu Li's calmness and composure. If they could put aside their identities and their positions on their country, they might be able to become good friends.
She stayed for a while and then left.
Xiang Yue continued to stare.
Just as night fell, Chu Yeli arrived and ordered two soldiers to bring dinner.
"Xiaojiu, are you hungry?"
"Fifth brother..."
The war was approaching, and he was busy all day before he had time to spare. The girl who had been locked up for a day called out "Fifth Brother" with a pursed mouth and a hoarse voice, as if she was about to cry out of grievance. His heart was pinched so hard that he almost lost control.
He didn't want to lock her up.
But he didn't want to experience the heartache again.
"Come sit down, let's have dinner."
There were several home-cooked dishes on the table.
"Fifth brother, this is so disgusting..." Chu Li held the chopsticks, unable to swallow the food in his mouth, "Don't the Nanman have cooks? The cooking skills of the kitchen team are not as good as mine..."
"..."
Chu Yeli hid the burns from the oil on the back of his hand.
"Eat a little bit, or you'll be hungry if you don't eat."
Chu Li pursed her lips and took small bites of the shredded potatoes... potato strips, the potatoes were cut thicker than her fingers.
"Fifth brother, why don't you eat?"
"I'll watch you eat."
Chu Yeli served her half a bowl of minced meat and cucumber soup, "Eat more."
Looking at her elegant way of eating, drinking a sip of soup, eating a mouthful of rice, and taking a bite of vegetables, her appetite was as gentle as a cat's.
But it's very pleasing to the eyes.
He likes to raise small animals, and he likes to raise her even more.
"I'm full."
"Eat a little more so that you can make it to tomorrow."
“But I already ate a big bowl.”
"Then drink this bowl of soup."
"Oh well."
Chu Li picked up the bowl and took several sips to warm his stomach. He felt very comfortable. He wiped the corners of his mouth, but suddenly he felt dizzy.
His body swayed and he fell down weakly.
"hiss……"
"Xiaojiu." Chu Yeli caught her steadily.
"Fifth brother...you...you put it...in the soup..." Chu Li felt weak all over and his eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. It was obvious that something was wrong.
"It's just some sleeping powder. It will help you get a good night's sleep. It won't do any harm to your body."
Chu Yeli rubbed her head and gently pressed her into his arms:
"There is a big battle tonight, and I can't be distracted by you. Xiaojiu, be good and have a good sleep. We can go home early tomorrow morning."
