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

After Nian Qiaoyue escaped, she returned to Prince Ren's Palace again just to get information!

Qin Zehai slammed his fist on the table and stood up with his eyes wide open, "I know!"

His fists were clenched until the bones crackled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This bitch! She tricked me!"

Qin Zehai was not only unconvinced, but also felt insulted. Nian Qiaoyue was stupid and bad, not only of low status, but also a person who had died once. As a royal relative and the Prince Ren of Liuli, his grand plan that he had planned for so long was ruined by that bitch. How could he swallow this breath?

Dongfang Xuying didn't know who he was scolding, nor did he want to know. He was only clear about one thing - it was Qin Zehai's fault that the plan was destroyed, and he should be held responsible.

He also slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "Anyway, you have to make up for the mistakes you made. If the Northern Wei army doesn't crush Qingshan within ten days, I will crush your head."

Dongfang Xuying strode out of his room in big strides.

Qin Zehai was already scared out of his wits and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Click——"

He glanced sideways and saw that the table that Dongfang Xuying had just smashed broke into four pieces and collapsed with a loud bang.

Qin Zehai believed that Dongfang Xuying really had the ability to crush his head.

The next day.

Qin Zehai slept restlessly all night and was woken up again in the morning.

"Your Majesty! The enemy is attacking the city again!"

"Your Majesty! Deputy General Liu wants to see you!"

Qin Zehai was anxious and irritable. He put on a coat and went out to report to Liu Luyan.

He sat in an armchair, one elbow resting on the armrest and rubbing his brow, the other hand on his waist, his face full of impatience.

"Your Highness, the enemy attacked the city again this morning and we suffered heavy losses. It seems that the enemy wants to use this method to consume our troops and then capture Liangcheng in one fell swoop." Liu Luyan kept his head down the whole time to avoid seeing his expression.

Qin Zehai sighed. He was fine for writing memorials to offer suggestions and policies, but he got a headache when he heard about attacking and defending cities, and he had no idea what to do.

"Go and bring Xiao Jianting over." Qin Zehai said.

Liu Luyan hesitated for a moment, picked up his robe and stood up, and heard Qin Zehai say, "By the way, bring his sister along as well."

After saying that, Qin Zehai raised his head, a strange smile appeared on his haggard and tired face, and he muttered to himself: "They haven't been reunited for a long time..."

Liu Luyan clenched his fists and walked out with extremely heavy steps.

-

Xiao Yunzheng was brought in first. Two guards, one pressing on her shoulders and the other kicking her knees, forced her to kneel in front of Qin Zehai.

Qin Zehai smiled playfully, raised the toes of his crossed legs, and put the tip of his shoe on Xiao Yunzheng's chin.

Xiao Yunzheng turned away in disdain and spat at him: "Bah! You traitor! Kill me if you have the guts! What kind of man are you to use me to threaten my brother!"

Qin Zehai was no longer at the age to fall for this kind of thing. Hearing Xiao Yunzheng scolding him like children quarreling, he just wanted to laugh.

"Hahaha... little sister, I advise you to save your energy, otherwise you won't be able to hold on until the next time you see your good brother." Qin Zehai's mean expression made Xiao Yunzheng want to punch him in the face twice.

Xiao Yunzheng curled her lips, very disdainful of Qin Zehai's behavior. He either didn't give her water to drink or food to eat. In the past half month, she had lost more than ten pounds.

When Liu Luyan brought Xiao Jianting in, he saw Xiao Yunzheng's eyes wide open, with a look full of hatred as if she wanted to cut Qin Zehai into pieces.

"Your Highness, Master Xiao is here." Liu Luyan silently retreated to the side.

When Xiao Jianting saw his sister, whom he took such good care of, kneeling in front of Qin Zehai, he immediately became furious.

"You promised me you wouldn't hurt her." His voice was filled with anger.

Xiao Yunzheng was afraid that her elder brother would worry, so she quickly shook her head and said, "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry."

Qin Zehai sneered, "I took good care of her and didn't lose even a hair. How could that be considered as hurting her in Master Xiao's words?"

"Humiliation is also hurtful." Xiao Jianting's eyes were sharp and his tone was overbearing: "Let her go."

Xiao Yunzheng was unwilling to kneel even to the emperor, let alone Qin Zehai?

From childhood to adulthood, she had only been able to punch and kick others. When had she ever experienced the feeling of being caught by someone? He didn't want to see his sister suffer such humiliation.

Xiao Yunzheng shook her head with tears in her eyes. Even though she didn't say anything, Xiao Jianting knew what she meant.

Xiao Jianting suppressed his anger and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Qin Zehai curled his lips and smiled sincerely. He was waiting for Xiao Jianting to say this. It was indeed comfortable to talk to a smart person.

Qin Zehai crossed his legs, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Qin Junyu led people to attack the city twice, and we suffered heavy losses. You have led troops in more battles than you have eaten meals." This was a recognition of Xiao Jianting's strength, although he did not need it.

"Tell me, how can we defend the city so that we can prevent them from attacking and not lose too many soldiers?"

Xiao Jianting laughed, looking up to the sky and laughing.

Qin Zehai didn't understand, but he could hear sarcasm and anger in the laughter.

Liu Luyan's nervous gaze moved back and forth between the two of them.

Xiao Yunzheng frowned, worried that this madman Qin Zehai would suddenly go crazy.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Zehai asked with a serious face.

Xiao Jianting paused, put away his smile and answered him: "Prince Ren, why do you think I will help you?"

Qin Zehai was confident. With just a glance, two long swords were immediately placed on Xiao Yunzheng's neck.

Xiao Yunzheng choked up and shouted, "Brother! Leave me alone!"

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't afraid, but it was true that I didn't want Xiao Jianting to be controlled.

"Why do you say that?" Qin Zehai asked him with a smile.

"I can lead the troops to help you repel the troops outside the city, but I have a condition." Xiao Jianting laid his cards on the table.

Qin Zehai was tempted. Xiao Jianting was leading the troops personally. Not to mention a mere 10,000 men, he could even defeat the 50,000 men of the Northern Wei.

"What conditions?"

"Let my sister go."

Qin Zehai did not answer him immediately.

Xiao Jianting added: "Aren't you just trying to use her to threaten me? But you underestimate our Xiao family. I would rather die than be controlled by others."

"Now, for the sake of my only sister, as long as your request is not excessive, I can agree to it. But if you want to threaten my life..."

He sneered, "We are not afraid of death."

If a person is not afraid of death, then nothing can threaten him.

Qin Zehai didn't want to lose Xiao Jianting, his "military advisor" for the time being, so he had to agree. As long as the enemy's siege plan was defeated, he would let Xiao Yunzheng out of the city.

-

When Chen Qijin led his men to attack the city for the third time, he encountered some accidents.

This time, unlike the previous two times where they only threw stones and shot arrows, they tied fireballs and chili powder to the heads of their flutes. As long as they dared to get close, they would be injured. Although not fatal, their movements would be hampered, which posed a great obstacle to their siege.

Chen Qijin had no choice but to retreat.
