After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Liu Luyan prepared a big gift for Qin Zehai.

The next day.

Liu Luyan took the lead, and two guards behind him were carrying a sack. Judging from the shape, there was a person inside.

The three of them walked into the mansion in a brazen manner.

Qin Zehai was drinking tea in the pavilion. He was startled when he saw the scene of three people and stood up immediately.

Liu Luyan smiled and stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, I encountered someone while on patrol today, and I took it upon myself to capture her."

He assured confidently: "This person will definitely satisfy the prince."

Qin Zehai became interested. He put his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Who?"

Liu Luyan turned around and winked at the two guards, who understood and put the sack down. One of them untied the rope that tied the sack, and the other pulled the sack down, revealing the upper half of the person inside.

The person was dizzy and her face could not be seen clearly with her head down, but it was known that it was a woman. Qin Zehai squinted his eyes and took a few steps forward. Liu Luyan stepped forward, grabbed her ponytail and pulled it back, forcing her to look up.

Qin Zehai's eyes widened, "Xiao...Xiao Yunzheng?"

Liu Luyan was proud, "It is Xiao Jianting's sister Xiao Yunzheng."

Qin Zehai didn't know what he was thinking of, and a smile appeared on his face, which gradually deepened.

Liu Luyan waved his hand, and the guards tied the sack again and stood by.

"Your Highness, since Xiao Jianting has surrendered to the enemy, he will definitely not be willing to serve us wholeheartedly. But now that we have captured his sister, the situation is different."

For the first time, Liu Luyan showed a cunning smile on his face, "Xiao Jianting loves his sister the most. If we can control Xiao Yunzheng, he will definitely serve us wholeheartedly."

Qin Zehai laughed loudly, "Liu Lieutenant General, you have done a great job!" He patted Liu Luyan's shoulders several times and nodded with satisfaction, "When we return to Beijing, I will report your achievements to the emperor and give you a promotion!"

Liu Luyan was delighted, took a few steps back, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Thank you for your support, Your Highness! I will definitely do my best to live up to Your Highness' kindness!"

Qin Zehai's eyes were full of meaning.

-

Qin Zehai hadn't seen Xiao Jianting for a long time. His complexion had improved a lot and he was in the mood to meditate. He seemed to be in a good mood, but his nightmare was about to come.

He turned his head and glanced at Liu Luyan, who understood and took out the key to unlock it. Xiao Jianting opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and glanced at the two of them without any disturbance.

"Prince Ren, how are you?" Xiao Jianting smiled sarcastically, "How are you going to take my life this time?"

Qin Zehai walked into the cell, his posture lazy, "Mr. Xiao, this is wrong, how can I bear to take your life?"

He smiled with his mouth pursed. "Not only will I not kill you, I will also hire you as my advisor."

Liu Luyan followed behind Qin Zehai, expressionless, just looking at Xiao Jianting quietly.

Xiao Jianting sneered and spat on the ground, "You're dreaming! I would never do anything for you even if I die!"

He rolled his eyes in anger, turned sideways, and took a defensive stance, not wanting to communicate with Qin Zehai anymore.

"Oh? Really?" Qin Zehai was confident of victory. He clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought in a sack and threw it hard on the haystack in front of Xiao Jianting. Just by looking at the shape, one could tell that there was a person inside.

Xiao Jianting frowned and immediately became alert. He had a bad feeling in his heart. He pursed his lips and remained silent.

The guard untied the rope, leaving only a head exposed. The person was lying on his side. He kicked the person and the body lay flat. A familiar face appeared in front of Xiao Jianting.

He was shocked at first, then angry, and suddenly stood up and punched Qin Zehai, but was stopped by Liu Luyan. Because Xiao Jianting was injured, he was not as strong as Liu Luyan, and was controlled after just two moves.

Liu Luyan gritted his teeth and grabbed Xiao Jianting's wrists, preventing him from moving.

"What kind of man are you to bully a little girl!" Xiao Jianting roared, spit flying everywhere, veins popping out: "If you have anything to say, come to me! Let her go!"

Qin Zehai felt delighted when he saw him getting angry and out of control. He had never seen Xiao Jianting lose control like this before. This feeling of controlling people gave him great satisfaction.

Liu Luyan kept his eyes down, not daring to look at Xiao Jianting.

"I didn't bully her." Qin Zehai spread his hands and shrugged, with an innocent expression that made people want to beat him up.

"If you listen to me, I will provide her with good food and drink."

"If you insist on going against me..." Qin Zehai's smile gradually faded until it disappeared. He stared at Xiao Yunzheng on the ground with a sinister look, as if he was looking at a dead object. He kicked Xiao Yunzheng hard, "This is just the beginning."

Liu Luyan's eyes were red, and his hands that were holding Xiao Jianting were shaking.

Xiao Jianting gritted his teeth, his chest rising and falling, and he closed his eyes and compromised, "Okay, I promise you, you let my sister go."

The guards tied Xiao Yunzheng up again and carried her out.

Qin Zehai patted the dust on his palms and blew a breath, "No, if I let her go, how can you be willing to work for me?"

"But don't worry, as long as your performance satisfies me, I won't make things difficult for her."

Qin Zehai left without looking back.

Liu Luyan exhaled a breath from his throat, his whole body was limp, his hands and feet hanging down, and he could hardly stand. Xiao Jianting supported him, shook his head, and signaled with his eyes that he should hold on.

Liu Luyan nodded, wiped his sweat, and took Xiao Jianting out of the cell by detention.

-

Ten thousand people quietly entered the forest outside Liangcheng, set up a simple camp, and rested on the spot.

Qin Junyu led a team of people to patrol the surrounding area and make sure that no one returned to the camp.

Chen Qijin looked clumsy in his armor, and every step he took was very heavy. He lagged behind Qin Junyu by a body length. "Your Highness, I have already done some research. The forests in this area are difficult to get down but hard to get up. They will ignore this area when they patrol. We are absolutely safe if we hide here."

Qin Junyu hummed and quickened his pace.

When they returned to the main tent, six people were already waiting for them.

Qin Junyu threw his sword back onto the shelf, walked quickly to the main seat and sat down. Chen Qijin hurried back to his seat.

Since the entire camp was built temporarily, the layout was simple, with only a long table and eight chairs, plus a defense map, which included the locations of large and small cities within a 500-mile radius of Liangcheng.

Qin Junyu first exhaled, picked up the command pole and pointed at the defense map, "Our current position is here. It's not close to Liangcheng, but the enemy patrols nearby every day, so this is our only safe hiding place."

Chen Qijin added, "We now have two enemies. One is led by Prince Ren of Liuli, who is located in Liangcheng and has 50,000 troops."
