“Little sister, you can leave the military service to your brother. Why are you coming along?” Aruna said to Qingyin with concern.
“Brother, the matter of revenge is not only on your shoulders, but also on mine. Besides, you know my strength, so I won’t be a burden to you.”
Looking at Qingyin's earnest face, Aruna sighed. "I originally wanted to ask a noble person to send you to live in the capital or some wealthy towns. But since you're coming, you must stay close to your brother. No matter what happens, your brother will protect you." Whether as a child or an adult, Aruna could never refuse his sister's requests, and this was still true now. Looking into his sister's earnest and determined eyes, he gently patted her head.
Qingyin knew that this action meant that her brother had agreed to her decision. She sorted out the package she had brought, which was full of important medicinal materials such as wild ginseng and lingzhi that she had dug up from the mountains.
Aruna, standing behind her, quietly joined in.
With the tacit approval of the entire army, Aluna integrated into the team with extraordinary speed because of Qingyin. Due to Qingyin and Aluna's strong desire to go to the front lines, Yinzhen, who had originally intended to place them in sinecure positions, had to transfer them to the Eight Banners Vanguard Army. Most of the troops here were powerful and influential Manchu nobles from the capital, and they were naturally very unhappy about the two who were supposedly of a different ethnicity suddenly joining them. They even maliciously speculated that these two Mongols had ulterior motives and were staging a scene to rescue the Fourteenth Prince. However, all their displeasure and resistance vanished when they saw the legendary two.
Watching Qingyin and Aluna running, the group glanced over furtively. After so many days, they had come to understand that these two young masters were not only incredibly handsome, but also possessed superhuman strength. They were truly good material to be soldiers and generals. In the military camp, where strength was paramount, they naturally had to admit defeat.
Ke Mei was indeed quite direct. Looking at Qing Yin, whose appearance was exquisite to the extreme, and A Luna, who looked exactly like her, the people in the team understood without being taught why some people liked to keep servants. If it were Young Master Qing Yin, it wouldn't be a bad thing. Lin Cheng'an, the eldest son of the Minister of Works, who was leading the team, thought to himself, and a blush rose on his face. Fortunately, his dark complexion prevented it from showing, otherwise, his rating as the taciturn and cold-faced leader would have dropped to the lowest point in A Luna's mind.
Qingyin certainly felt the big guy's gaze, but there were just too many people looking at her, so she ignored them all.
Apart from Yinzhen's occasional constant harassment, which added a bit of fun, there were no other negative effects during training.
Little did anyone know that back in his tent, Yinzhen was also questioning his existence, "So I do like men, but I only like Asa, not Aluna..."
Yinzhen clutched the pitiful wild flower petals in his hand, lost in thought. Yinzhen had a habit of tearing off whatever he was holding whenever he was thinking. As a result, the poor petals were ripped off one by one, leaving only a thin, bare stem.
"General!" Chen Qingyue burst in with a serious expression. Startled, Yinzhen shoved the flower stalk in his hand into his mouth, swallowed it calmly, and looked at Chen Qingyue with a solemn expression:
"Speak, what is it?"
Chen Qingyue: "General, we have spotted a Mongol army force two kilometers away, which is approaching Qinghai."
Yinzhen became serious. "Order the entire army to be on alert and prepare immediately." As he spoke, he put on his armor and walked towards the city wall.
At the same time, Qingyin also received news of the Mongol army's attack. She and her brother changed their clothes. The armor was a close-fitting design, which covered her beautiful and outstanding figure, but added a touch of heroic spirit and awe-inspiring presence.
After gathering everyone, Lin Cheng'an, the leader, gave the usual instructions on battlefield precautions before leading his men to the front lines. As he approached Qingyin, he whispered something:
“You haven’t fought in a battle yet. Stay by my side for now, and you can go forward later once you’re more familiar with the situation.” Looking at Qingyin, who was much thinner than him, Lin Cheng’an couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry, even though he was usually very fierce. The battlefield was different from training, and he didn’t want Alusa to get hurt. For the first time, Lin Cheng’an, who always encouraged new recruits to stand at the front, showed favoritism.
"Thank you." Qingyin knew Lin Cheng'an meant well, but she didn't need it. She would prove herself with her abilities.
Looking out from the city wall at the vast Mongol army a kilometer away, Yinzhen's eyes were filled with excitement and confidence. Only now did the Fourteenth Prince's youthful demeanor as a general become apparent, his military bearing imposing and his aura magnificent.
With the sound of a horn, the Qing army, along with Yinzhen, charged into the Mongol army like tigers.
Yinzhen was already handsome and dashing, but when he lay prone on the carriage, holding a sharp red-tasseled spear, he was like a fish in water, ruthlessly reaping the heads of his enemies. His iron-blooded temperament, honed on the battlefield, made it impossible for anyone to look away from him. Like a lone wolf, he inspired the soldiers' courage to charge forward.
The other two figures quickly broke through the ranks. The most dazzling one was undoubtedly Qingyin, who seemed like a jade-faced demon in the crowd. Two gleaming blades in her fair and delicate hands displayed unprecedented sharpness, attacking the enemy's fatal points one by one. It was not like killing, but rather like playing a dance of death in the crowd. On her extremely holy face, blood and blades became special accessories. Extremely eerie yet holy beauty intertwined at this moment, frantically locking the gaze of any spectator.
Drawn to the sight, Yinzhen couldn't help but look over. He felt as if he had returned to the day they first met, and a strange excitement surged within him. Unlike his previous excitement, at this moment he desperately wanted to lick those fair and jade-like hands and spend his whole life with her.
