The leading general was very grateful for this, "Thank you, Prince."
It was bitterly cold at the frontier, and it was rare to have such time to rest, so many people drank a few sips of strong liquor to warm themselves up.
When everyone dispersed, a deputy general came to Gu Yunni and knelt down in front of her, "Princess, please save my brother! You are the only one who can save him."
Gu Yunni helped him up. Seeing his condition, she knew that this matter must be serious. "Just tell me what's going on. I won't refuse any help I can give."
She was so easy to talk to that the deputy general quickly said, "My brother took his soldiers to pursue the army of our western neighbor some time ago, but he hasn't returned yet. I beg the princess to help me calculate where my brother is."
Gu Yunni naturally would not refuse such a simple thing.
"Cut a lock of your hair and release a drop of blood."
As long as they are blood relatives, they will definitely be able to find the right direction.
Sure enough, everyone only saw the blood in the cup pointing in one direction, and a blurry picture appeared.
"This is where your brother is. You can go find him now. Be quick."
Gu Yunni strongly suspected that they were trapped by the Queen's people to the west. She still remembered their vicious tactics clearly.
The deputy general was very grateful to Gu Yunni and wanted to kneel down to express his gratitude.
Gu Yunni lifted him up with a slight effort. "Let's go find those people first. There's no need to thank me. They disappeared while chasing the soldiers from our western neighbor. Naturally, I have no choice but to take responsibility for them."
There was a smile in her eyes, and she had already thought about how to deal with this matter.
The deputy general then hurriedly took his troops to look for the person.
Seeing this, others also admired Gu Yunni.
However, she has always been sitting next to Sheng Mingyu, and not everyone has the courage to ask her for help.
"If you have any problems, you can come to me. I will definitely help if I can."
"Thank you, Princess." Everyone was very grateful for her action and became even more warm towards the two of them.
While everyone here is having a good time, the situation to our west is not so optimistic.
The palace had completely become the domain of the Queen next door. Looking at the emperor lying on the bed with a blank look in his eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle, "You really are of some use."
She leaned back in a chair, bored, when she heard the guard's cautious voice from outside the door, "Madam, according to the spies, the two men have arrived at the battlefield and are now in the camp."
"Got it, back off."
The Queen of the Western Neighborhood touched the wound on her arm. Thinking of what happened that day, her smile turned colder. "Gu Yunni, you are destined to die at my hands."
She rarely encounters an opponent, and Gu Yunni can hurt her, so this revenge must be avenged.
"Someone, go and bring me the jade box."
"Yes." The little palace maid felt a chill running up her spine when she got the box, but she didn't find anything unusual. She just thought that she had suddenly done something stupid, so she didn't take it to heart.
She respectfully handed the box to her western neighbor, the queen.
A hint of malice flashed in the eyes of the Queen to the west, and she took out a lock of hair from the box.
A trace of fear flashed across the little palace maid's eyes, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
"What? Are you scared?"
"I dare not." The little palace maid knelt on the ground, not daring to look at her expression.
"It's right to be afraid. If even you are not afraid, how can the owner of this hair be afraid?" As she spoke, her slender fingers had already landed on the strand of hair.
Her fingertips moved slightly, her red lips opened slightly, and her eyes gradually became cold.
The little palace maid subconsciously wanted to move away, but before she could act, her head was chopped off.
"Tsk, it's still useful."
Although she felt a little disgusted, she still collected the little palace maid's blood into the container.
The container looked strange, but she seemed to be admiring something beautiful.
"Gu Yunni, I want to see if you can escape from my palm?" The hair slid along her slender fingers and fell into the vessel.
As blood soaked her hair, Gu Yunni felt her heart tighten.
If she hadn't held onto the door, she would have fallen to the ground today.
She calculated with her fingers and found that the source of the disaster was the imperial palace to the west.
There was no trace of surprise in her eyes. She should have guessed it long ago. The Queen of the Western Neighborhood must have known that she had arrived at the border, so she used such a despicable method.
Gu Yunni felt the palpitations pass, opened the tent and walked in.
At this time, Sheng Mingyu was discussing strategies to repel the enemy with several generals, and the situation did not seem very optimistic.
The knot between Sheng Mingyu's eyebrows has never been untied.
"I don't know what's going on with the western neighbor's army. They don't feel any pain even when they're injured. There's even reinforcements coming. I think even the troops guarding the imperial city have arrived."
Sheng Mingyu thought for a moment, "Can we take the head of the Queen next door first?"
"This... It is said that the King of Xilin is just sick and not really dead. Even if the Queen of Xilin is killed, this matter will be difficult to resolve." The generals did not know about this yet and were still thinking about how to deal with the people of Xilin.
"At this moment, the Western Neighborhood is completely controlled by the Western Neighborhood Queen. The Western Neighborhood King is now nothing more than a puppet in name only. Our enemy right now is the Queen."
Everyone was surprised, but they also understood that Sheng Mingyu had no reason to lie to them.
"Attacking the neighboring imperial city to the west will inevitably require a considerable diversion of our forces. Given the current situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on here."
For a time, the situation was at a stalemate.
When Gu Yunni saw Sheng Mingyu so serious at the door, she knew that he would be able to solve this matter smoothly.
It’s just about the Queen next door... She fell into deep thought.
"Yun Ni, what's wrong with you?" Sheng Mingyu noticed someone at the door. He looked up and found that it was Gu Yun Ni who was in a daze.
There was worry in his eyes, afraid that something might happen to her.
Gu Yunni came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, "Nothing, I'm just thinking about how to deal with the situation of our western neighbor. You guys can discuss it, don't worry about me."
Sheng Mingyu had almost finished talking with them, and when he saw Gu Yunni coming, he naturally wanted to stay with her.
"You guys should leave first. Let's stop here for today's affairs."
Several generals were also perceptive and knew that the two men probably had other things to discuss, so they left the tent one after another.
Sheng Mingyu stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. Seeing her distracted look, he thought she was worried about losing the battle. "Yun Ni, leave the battlefield matters to me. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
But after arriving at the border this time, Gu Yunni had a bad feeling in her heart. "Mingyu, the Queen next door and that old Taoist priest are very vicious. No matter what happens, don't be impulsive. You can rely on the talisman paper I gave you to get through the difficult times."
