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

After returning to the camp, he went to the main tent to report the battle situation to Qin Junyu, his eyes still red.

"Excuse me, Qin Zehai seems to have received guidance from an expert. This time he has come up with a new idea to force us to retreat!"

Qin Junyu saw that his eyes were unusually red and he didn't look like he was crying because of defeat, so he put down what he was holding and listened carefully to what he said about the situation.

"They tied a fireball wrapped in chili powder to the arrowhead. Once the arrow is shot, it will explode as long as it hits a hard object, regardless of whether it hits a person or not. In this way, our shields and the ground that were used to block the arrows became their tools to detonate the fireball!"

The Liuli soldiers' flute skills were not outstanding. In the first two attacks, their men used shields for protection, and the arrows could not hurt them at all. They easily climbed up the ladders and prepared for the attack. But this time was different. They couldn't even get the ladders up, and were pulled so hard that they couldn't open their eyes when they were dozens of meters away from the city wall.

Chen Qijin simply couldn't imagine who came up with such a clever idea that directly broke their attrition tactics.

After hearing this, Qin Junyu was not angry but laughed.

He already knew who gave Qin Zehai this advice.

Chen Qijin didn't understand why the prince could still laugh when they were forced to retreat step by step?

Xiao Jianting was still alive, which was the best news Qin Junyu had heard in the past month. Moreover, he was working for Qin Zehai and was of use, so his life was not in danger for the time being.

"Your Highness, we have masks and eye patches to deal with fireballs, do you want them..."

"No need." Qin Junyu rejected it without even thinking about it. If they came up with a solution now, it would be very disadvantageous to Xiao Jianting.

"How many soldiers were injured today?"

"About five hundred people."

"Recover first, it won't be too late to attack in a few days."

Qin Junyu walked out of the tent, looked up at the gloomy sky in the distance, and said to himself: "It's going to rain."

-

Qin Zehai climbed up the tower and looked at the traces of the battlefield that had not been cleaned up. He smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. He turned around and glanced at Xiao Jianting, praising him: "As expected of a cavalry general! You defeated the enemy with one move!"

There is still a lot of chili powder and flint in Liangcheng. Even if the enemy attacks the city again, they can still continuously produce fireballs to force the enemy back.

Xiao Jianting stared at a certain place quietly, his face showed no joy, but heavy, "I have helped the prince out of his predicament, so should I fulfill the promise the prince made to me?"

Qin Zehai's face changed immediately, just like the sky above. It was sunny and windy just now, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds covered the city. A loud thunder struck his head, and Qin Zehai trembled with fear.

He glanced up and murmured, "It's going to rain."

Xiao Jianting insisted: "When will the prince let my sister go?"

Qin Zehai was impatient and sighed heavily, "Let her go now before the rain comes." He said this to Liu Luyan behind him.

Liu Luyan has been in charge of looking after Xiao Yunzheng. Qin Zehai has hardly paid any attention to her except occasionally giving orders not to bring her food or water.

After giving his instructions, Qin Zehai left.

Xiao Jianting and Liu Luyan stepped down from the city wall one step later.

"Mr. Xiao, please wait here for a moment. I will pick up Miss Xiao and you two siblings can say goodbye to each other properly." Liu Luyan held his hand and patted it heavily.

Xiao Jianting nodded and thanked him.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yunzheng appeared in Xiao Jianting's sight, leading a tall black horse.

"Big brother!"

"Little sister!"

The two hugged each other tightly, Xiao Yunzheng's eyes were filled with tears, "Brother, I'm leaving, take care of yourself, no matter what happens, make sure you survive first, I will definitely come back to save you." Xiao Yunzheng cried breathlessly.

Xiao Jianting nodded repeatedly, "I see. I've never seen you cry so much before. You've been crying more and more in recent years."

As he spoke, he secretly put the letter into Xiao Yunzheng's hand. With spies all around, he lowered his voice and told her, "Leave the city and go west. Once you enter the forest, you will find A Yu's camp. Bring the letter to him and say hello to him for me."

After quickly explaining, he patted her on the back and said, "You should take care of yourself too."

"Father misses you very much."

Xiao Yunzheng hid the letter in her arms, pushed him away, wiped her tears, and said, "I know. I knew you loved nagging, but you've become more and more worried in recent years."

The brother and sister laughed out loud at the same time.

Although Liu Luyan didn't have the heart to disturb their hard-earned and brief reunion, he had to step forward and remind them: "Mr. Xiao, Miss Xiao, the time is up, it's time to go."

The two said goodbye reluctantly.

Xiao Yunzheng walked out through the side door. She took one last look at Xiao Jianting and made up her mind to kick the horse's belly hard. The kick was as fast as an arrow leaving a bow, leaving only a trace of an afterimage.

After Xiao Yunzheng left, Xiao Jianting breathed a sigh of relief. He was alone here and was not afraid of anything, not even death.

Xiao Yunzheng had just left Liangcheng when a drizzle began to fall from the gloomy sky, and the rain gradually became heavier.

This autumn rain came suddenly and heavily, with strong winds and heavy rain, and the sky and the earth fell into darkness.

Xiao Yunzheng followed Xiao Jianting's instructions and headed straight into the depths of the woods in the west.

Because it was raining so heavily, the forest road was winding and muddy on the ground. She was riding so fast that the horse's hooves slipped when turning a corner, and she flew off the horse.

"Neigh--" The horse's mournful cry was swallowed up by lightning and thunder.

-

When Xiao Yunzheng woke up, she was already lying in bed. She grew up in a military camp and could tell at a glance that she lived in a tent.

The curtain door was opened, and a man was closing an umbrella with his back to her. Looking out from the corner of the door, the rain outside was still pouring down.

Xiao Yunzheng felt like her head was torn apart, especially the back of her head, which was aching slightly.

The man came closer and saw that she had her eyes open in shock. Without saying a word, he ran out again with the umbrella.

Xiao Yunzheng felt strange. Where on earth was this place?

She fell in the woods, hit the back of her head against a tree trunk, and fainted. Logically, Qin Junyu was the only one in the nearby military camp.

But the man just now, wearing armor and looking very imposing, was obviously an official, a subordinate of Qin Junyu, who held a position in the army. How could she not know him?

The more I think about it, the more my head hurts...

Xiao Yunzheng closed her eyes in pain.

After a while, the man came back, this time with a man and a woman.

Xiao Yunzheng had no choice but to open her eyes. She didn't recognize any of these three people.

The man looked gentle and bookish, and he was carrying a medical kit on his back. He must be a military doctor.

The girl was not very old. She looked around cautiously, but when her eyes met hers, she quickly looked away.

Girls in the army can only be military prostitutes.
