Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

What shall we drink next time? Wedding wine too?

Ling Qiqi felt frightened when she heard the wit in their words.

If they continued to stab each other in the back, she would have to find an excuse to leave. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would end up with a bloody face.

Seeing Ling Yi about to fight back again, Ling Qiqi quickly interrupted him:

"Well, it's rare that you two are here, and I just happen to have something to say."

The two of them looked at her, waiting for her to continue. Ling Qiqi thought hard and finally remembered what to say:

"Well, I didn't finish what I wanted to say to Pei Chufeng just now. You see, this is what I think. We are now located in the south and the north, and we should establish an all-round strategic partnership of mutual trust, mutual benefit, mutual complementarity and mutual assistance. The so-called making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby countries is exactly this principle. I think the three of us should discuss calmly how to deal with Ximo's ambition. Now Ximo borders Nan Shen, Bei Wei and Tian Yuan, and the location of our Yahe country is also very special, so we should now work together to oppose all hegemonism and wars of aggression."

"If it's as you said, Ximo must have made too many enemies. They shouldn't act rashly." Pei Chufeng said.

"It is precisely because we have made too many enemies that we must take action, and the best way is to split up and disintegrate, occupy Tianyuan in the north and Yahe in the south. Although your Nan Shen is separated from Ximo by a natural moat, if they seize Yahe, it will be much easier for them to go downstream and attack your Nan Shen. This is why I asked you to protect Yahe. Yahe is equivalent to the outpost of Nan Shen. If Yahe falls, Nan Shen will be in danger."

"But with Ximo's current military strength, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

"What if their weapons have been upgraded? I've seen their crossbows, and their power should not be underestimated."

"You have a bomb."

"But the range is not as far as the crossbow, and I have only seen their crossbows. I don't know if they have more powerful weapons. And there is one more thing I didn't have time to tell you just now. Lu Cheng once shot me with a crossbow."

"Lu Cheng? How is that possible?"

"I also think it's impossible, but it was indeed shot. Ling Yi can prove it. It was he who helped me block the arrow. Otherwise, you would have to burn paper for me now."

Pei Chufeng stopped talking and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that she had successfully influenced Pei Chufeng, Ling Qiqi quickly continued:

"I have already thought of some solutions for you. Weapons won't work, but you can rely on tactics. The mountains of Crow Feather and South Mirage are high and the forests are dense. You can use guerrilla warfare."

"Guerrilla warfare?"

"Yes, remember the 16-character formula of guerrilla warfare: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue. The key is to avoid direct combat and not engage in head-on confrontation. Instead, break up the whole into small pieces and use the advantages of the terrain to defeat the larger force with a smaller one."

"I understand."

"But this guerrilla warfare has a bug."

"Eight?"

"The number is not important. What's important is that Lu Cheng also knows this tactic. Don't forget that we are from the same place. So you need another secret weapon, my aunt."

"Poison?"

"Use poison as a supplement and maze as the main method. Lu Cheng should not understand metaphysics."

"I see."

"Can I ask? Lu Cheng is Lu Chengyou? What do you mean you are from the same place as him?" Ling Yi finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I have time." Ling Qiqi said perfunctorily.

"You must be thirsty after talking so much. Have a drink of water first." Ling Yi's gentleness and thoughtfulness gave Ling Qiqi goosebumps, but she obeyed him obediently. She was indeed thirsty after talking so much.

Unexpectedly, after drinking a few sips, Ling Qiqi's stomach began to feel uncomfortable again. However, she had already vomited everything last night and had not eaten anything today. She just kept retching.

Ling Yi carefully stroked her back from behind to relieve her discomfort. After she felt better, he helped her back to rest and called a doctor to treat her.

When Ling Yi remembered and turned back, he found Pei Chufeng sitting there alone, motionless.

"Is she pregnant?" Pei Chufeng asked the question in a hoarse voice with difficulty.

Ling Yi was stunned, and did not answer his question, but instead said:

"Qi'er is not feeling well, so I won't keep Brother Pei here. I'll send someone to take you back to the posthouse."

Pei Chufeng slowly stood up and walked outside in a daze. When he was almost at the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to get the black fox cloak, but this time he did not put it on. Instead, he held it tightly in his arms and went out.

Ling Yi looked at his back and actually felt a little sympathy. No wonder Pei Chufeng would misunderstand. During this period, Ling Qiqi not only gained some weight, but was also greedy and sleepy. She did look like she was pregnant.

Ling Qiqi's stomach finally felt better, because she didn't sleep well last night, so she fell asleep. Ling Yi asked the doctor, and the doctor said that her stomach had a root cause of disease, and she couldn't stand the cold. She would easily get sick if she was tired, and she needed to be properly treated.

Ling Yi regretted letting Du Jingshan go back, so he asked the doctor to write down Ling Qiqi's condition and pulse carefully, and sent it to Beiwei to give to Du Jingshan together with the prescription, asking Du Jingshan to give a few more suitable prescriptions.

The next day, Ling Qiqi felt much better, so she wanted to sneak out to see Pei Chufeng again, but was blocked by Ling Yi.

"Where are you going again?"

"Why are you back so soon? You can't just not work hard."

"Where are you going, I asked?"

"Of course I'm going to find Pei Chufeng."

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?"

"He just told me to stay away from him, but he didn't say I couldn't go see him. I listened to him. I always kept my distance, basically three steps away from him."

"Is three steps far?"

"Three steps is not far. One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Three means a lot. Besides, if we are any further away, we will have to shout to talk."

"You don't have to go, Pei Chufeng has already left."

"Ah? When did you leave?"

"Left yesterday."

"What did you do to him?!" Ling Qiqi asked nervously and angrily.

"I didn't do anything." Ling Yi said, suppressing the jealousy in his heart.

"impossible!!!"

"What? Do you want me to send someone to bring him back for you?" Ling Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at her provocatively.

"Forget it, don't bother. He's already gone, why are you chasing him? It's better for him to go back. Since he's gone, you don't have to look after me, just go and do your own thing." Ling Qiqi said unhappily.

Ling Yi sighed, turned around and walked out. When he was almost at the door, he couldn't help but turn back and told her:

"Remember to drink the medicine."
