Xiao Qingyin smiled gently.
“In their hearts, I am a little princess. Even the most outstanding man in the world is not good enough for me.”
Yi Shuihan remained silent.
Clearly, she comes from a very good family, and her family dotes on her.
This is completely inconsistent with the background a spy should have.
Was she lying on purpose to conceal her identity as a spy, or was she not a spy at all?
But if she wasn't a spy, why would she leave her hometown and come to Da Xi all alone?
Could it be that she accidentally fell into distress and ended up in this country?
Or perhaps they escaped here due to some unavoidable force?
Xiao Qingyin: That's right, I am the real Disney princess who ran away.
Yi Shuihan really wanted to ask directly for clarification.
But he knew that this woman trusted him to no more than a bowl of water, so asking her would be pointless.
He then asked her another question: "With my qualifications, in your family's eyes, am I not good enough to be your man?"
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
The ball came so suddenly that she almost missed it.
"That's for sure."
She replied.
"If it were you, and your daughter, whom you've spoiled for over twenty years, suddenly brought home a man who wouldn't even dare to show his face, would you feel comfortable entrusting your daughter to him?"
Yi Shuihan: "..."
Fortunately, he wasn't actually disfigured, otherwise he would have been devastated.
Xiao Qingyin was also afraid that he would be discouraged, so she comforted him, "Didn't we say before that we could help you with plastic surgery? What's your decision?"
She was only 70-80% sure she could have plastic surgery, but with the help of the golden worm, even giving Yi Shuihan a new face wouldn't be a problem.
Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment.
"I've already thought it through. I'll contact you once I'm done with this busy period."
Of course, I don't want her to get plastic surgery; I want her to be honest with me.
This matter had been weighing on his mind for a long time. He had tried to speak about it several times, but was either interrupted or changed his mind.
That night they spent together in the cave, he felt he could no longer hide it from her.
But she actually disliked him...
Yi Shuihan was worried that if he told her the truth, she would run away immediately.
Even he himself began to worry: what if they really were not the right size?
During his recovery, he was extremely worried, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find a way to break the deadlock, so he could only procrastinate indefinitely.
Hoping that things will take a turn for the better.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xiao Qingyin said happily, "I will definitely make you the most handsome man in the world!"
It is said that true beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin. Even though Yi Shuihan was wearing a mask, you could still see that her bone structure was extremely perfect.
She could definitely give him a beautiful face.
Yi Shuihan: "..."
Did you consider Yi Jiu's feelings when you said that?
Even though they were both him, he still couldn't help but feel jealous after hearing her say that.
"You don't need to become the most beautiful woman in the world."
He stared at her intently.
"Just make yourself look like the person you love."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
He's so good at flirting, what is she supposed to do?!
Should he abandon Yi Jiu or try to have his cake and eat it too?
She couldn't bear to part with Yi Jiu's looks, but Yi Jiu was just too gifted, and she felt she couldn't handle it.
If… Xiao Qingyin suddenly had a thought: If Yi Shuihan’s size was just right, wouldn’t it be perfect to give him Yi Jiu’s face?
Yi Jiu: Woman, your name is Heartless.
Her imagination only ran wild for a few moments before shutting down.
No, Yi Shuihan has an identity issue; once you sleep with him, you can't get rid of him.
Xiao Qingyin sighed.
There is indeed no such thing as having it all in this world.
Yi Shuihan's statement that he would "finish this busy period" was just an excuse, but unexpectedly he actually became extremely busy afterward.
The cause was that the Xilin Kingdom, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, suddenly launched a war.
Fifteen years ago, the Xilin Kingdom decisively defeated the Northwest Army of the Great Xi Kingdom, capturing ten cities in succession, and then went into hiding.
The Northwest Army was completely wiped out, and the Great Xi was severely weakened. In recent years, it has been recuperating and has not launched a counterattack.
As the peaceful days went by, the court officials and the common people forgot just how powerful and ferocious the enemy was.
The first snow of winter had just fallen when the Crown Prince of Xilin led 80,000 cavalry south.
This prince was brave and skilled in battle, and had elite troops and generals. No border general could stop him, and in less than half a month, five cities were lost.
If he continues to lead his troops south, the capital may be in grave danger.
Emperor Chengtai felt that perhaps only Fu Junshi had the strength to fight.
But Fu Junshi and the Tartars are still fighting, so it's impossible for him to be transferred there.
At the critical moment, Yi Shuihan volunteered to fight.
"Your subject is willing to lead the five southern battalions in a battle."
When he said this, some ministers almost burst out laughing.
"The Southern Fifth Battalion has only a little over a thousand men. How can they possibly defeat eighty thousand? General of the Cavalry must be daydreaming."
Yi Shuihan did not argue with these people.
Instead, they invited Emperor Chengtai to the firearms camp and demonstrated to him the cannons that Wei Yan had improved and the firearms that Wei Yan had just developed.
Emperor Chengtai was so shocked by the power of the guns and cannons that he was speechless for a long time.
An imperial edict was immediately issued.
Yi Shuihan was dispatched to lead troops to meet the enemy.
Yi Shuihan abandoned bows and crossbows and armed the entire camp with muskets.
To deal with so many enemies, a large number of artillery shells and a lot of shooting practice are naturally needed.
Yi Shuihan spent ten days preparing before setting off.
Before leaving, he used the identity of Yi Jiu to say goodbye to Xiao Qingyin.
"I'm going to the battlefield with the Crown Prince. I'll send you messages by carrier pigeon along the way, so please keep an eye out."
Xiao Qingyin thought he was doing this to hand in his homework.
"You can hand in your homework when you get back. Focus on preparing for the competition first."
