Han Qiming suddenly saw white stars in front of his eyes, and the pain below had already covered the pain in his fingers.
Jiang Qingqing pulled off the hairband without hesitation and tied a knot around Han Qiming's hands. At the same time, she tied something like a rope around his feet.
"Just five years, you're still a weakling."
This time it was Jiang Qingqing's turn to look down at Han Qiming, who was twisted like a maggot on the ground. She raised her hand and punched Han Qiming in the face.
His wailing voice instantly filled the entire tent. Jiang Qingqing felt that he was too noisy, so she stuffed another piece of cloth into his mouth.
"Stop making so much noise. You haven't even increased your strength in five years, and you still dare to confront me alone? What kind of a man are you!?"
Having said that, Jiang Qingqing raised her hand and punched him in the face several times.
Only after Han Qiming, who was tied up like a maggot, fainted on the ground did Jiang Qingqing lift up her long hair, sneer, then turn around and lift up a corner of the tent at the back. Looking around and seeing that there was no one nearby, she casually tidied up her hair, then felt her way along the path, looking for whoever was about to go out, and then she would follow behind.
She was actually grateful to those people who carried her in with sacks. Except for Han Qiming and a few soldiers in the tent who saw her, no one outside knew who she was.
I really walked out by accident.
Han Qiming kidnapped her as if he was kidnapping loneliness.
She saw a few horses roaming around in the suburbs, and when no one was paying attention, she immediately grabbed the reins and headed towards the avenue.
She was really unfamiliar with the border, but Jiang Qingqing was not stupid. She stared at the horse hoof marks on the ground, made her judgment and walked forward. As she walked, she saw several households. After asking for directions, she learned that there was a military camp at the border.
After ruling out the direction behind, Jiang Qingqing mounted her horse without hesitation and rode in the opposite direction. After less than three hours of riding, Jiang Qingqing saw the military camp not far away.
After Jiang Chen settled the soldiers, he waited at the door early to watch. Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure not far away.
He stared in amazement at Jiang Qingqing with her long hair down.
"You...are not...The Emperor's uncle thought you were captured, so he went to Li State to rescue you."
"Han Qiming did capture me," Jiang Qingqing was a little out of breath after riding all the way, but she still managed to speak, "But Han Qiming was too stupid. I knocked him unconscious in the tent. His subordinates thought Han Qiming was going to do something big, so no one dared to approach the tent. Take advantage of this moment and lead the troops."
Jiang Chen did not doubt him and turned to look at Xiao Lang behind him.
Xiao Lang also nodded solemnly. After less than half an hour of marching, a group of elite teams of several thousand people set out towards Li State's camp.
When Jiang Qingqing followed this group of elites to the front of Li State's camp, she saw that the place was already in chaos.
Xiao Lang shouted "Charge!" and Jiang Chen rushed into the tent with the crowd. Jiang Qingqing had experience in rushing into this tent, and she led a group of people into the main tent alone.
She had already combed her long hair up, and at this moment she unexpectedly had the aura of a heroic female soldier, holding a soft sword in her hand.
As the soldiers in front pulled aside the curtain, the scene inside the tent was revealed.
Xiao Linting put his left foot on the chair and grabbed Han Qiming, who was half alive, with his right hand. He asked them with a cold look where the girl they had kidnapped was.
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent was opened and a young girl was seen entering the tent against the light.
The light outlined the girl's graceful figure. Her long black hair was neatly tied up. With a rare heroic spirit, she looked at the victorious general Xiao Linting in front of her with a smile as bright as a flower.
On the way back and forth, Jiang Qingqing suddenly became more open-minded.
She and Xiao Linting have been together for two years. Although they have been in a foreign land for five years, they have never missed a year. On the way to this expedition, Jiang Qingqing once asked Xiao Lang a question seemingly unintentionally.
"Has Tianqi ever had any legend about the seal?"
"Yes, but not every family knows about it. It's a little saying that has been passed down in the Xiao family since ancient times. It says that if you carve a seal for a girl for three consecutive years and are willing to carve it yourself on the fourth year, it means you love the girl. What's wrong with that?"
"It's okay, just asking."
She stood in the center of the tent, looking with a faint smile at Xiao Linting, who was sitting in the main seat with a gloomy and slightly ferocious expression.
At this moment, she was like a pure and flawless flower in the sky.
"I'm here. I'm here to see you this time." Jiang Qingqing spoke softly, and she walked forward step by step firmly in the direction of Xiao Linting.
Xiao Linting casually threw Han Qiming aside, and his men saw this and quickly detained the new emperor of Li State on the ground.
This time it was Jiang Qingqing's turn to stretch out her hand with her palm facing up towards Xiao Linting, and he raised his hand without hesitation and held her palm.
"I came to your rescue late, will Your Highness blame me?"
"Love that runs towards each other is never late."
Later, Jiang Chen and Xiao Lang cleaned up the war scene together. Therefore, Xiao Linting gave the biggest share of the military merits to Jiang Chen.
To put it in Jiang Chen's words.
"Damn it! They are just flirting at the border and I am the one cleaning up their mess! I am his brother-in-law! He is using his achievements to silence me!"
Jiang Chen had only been at the border for a few dozen days when he integrated into the ranks of the local rough men in the military camp. The vulgar words he spoke all the time made it hard for people to believe that this seemingly gentle and refined young general was actually the third prince who had been living a life of luxury in the capital for more than a decade.
The Li State's military campaign came inexplicably and ended inexplicably. In short, the emperor of the Li State was captured, and the Li State's dynasty was completely destroyed in an instant.
When Emperor Qing in Tianqi's capital heard the good news, he was unhappy that his daughter had sneaked to the border without saying a word, but he was extremely happy that Tianqi's territory had doubled. The expansion of territory was the most magnificent moment for Tianqi.
After waiting for another month, Xiao Linting from the border brought Jiang Chen, who had made great contributions, back to the capital, and Emperor Qing and Empress Xu once again held a grand welcoming banquet.
At the much-anticipated welcoming banquet, Xiao Linting knelt down in public, and Emperor Qing first asked him if he wanted the reward for this expedition.
He spoke without hesitation, and said to Emperor Qing sincerely: "I have been thinking about Princess Dunming for several years, and I want to ask Your Majesty to let me marry Princess Dunming. In this life, I will only marry Princess Dunming."
The tone was sonorous and powerful, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.
Emperor Qing, who was sitting in the main seat, did not look surprised. Empress Xu, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Qingqing with relief. Her eyes, which had accumulated so many emotions, were now gentle and filled with guilt and relief.
