I became a stepmother and got rich with my cute baby.

The army left in a mighty manner, and Song Wanqing, as the reserve main force, stayed in the military camp to observe the battle situation at any time.

This battle did not go as smoothly as she had imagined.

The people of Seoul were truly brave and fearless. They held out under the bombardment for a whole day before finally surrendering.

Song Wanqing held the information, frowned slightly, and regret flashed in his eyes.

The soldiers in Seoul were good, but unfortunately they followed the wrong leader.

Ji Huaichuan returned to the military camp three days later.

As soon as he got off his horse, he couldn't wait to find Song Wanqing and said excitedly: "Wanqing, Liancheng is really easy to conquer. Now the people in the city are grateful to us. We went to the city and resettled many refugees..."

"City Lord Ji, please treat your wound first." Song Wanqing interrupted him and pointed at the wound on his face.

Ji Huaichuan was stunned for a moment, but there was still a gleam in his eyes.

He said indifferently: "This minor injury is not a big deal. A man never cares about his appearance. I want to take advantage of the high morale and capture two cities. What do you think?"

He subconsciously asked Song Wanqing for her opinion.

Song Wanqing pondered for a while and nodded, "Of course, but you have to be careful later. After all, the news that you used gunpowder to capture Seoul should have spread everywhere by now."

Ji Huaichuan nodded and began to prepare for the next war.

In half a month, Ji Huaichuan captured three cities. When the news reached the palace, Chu Jingce was already furious.

With a sullen face, he glared at the officials who were burying their heads like ostriches and cursed: "What a bunch of rubbish! You actually let that despicable Ji Huaichuan capture three cities in succession!"

"Your Highness, you don't know that Ji Huaichuan got something extremely powerful from somewhere, and our people are completely unable to resist!"

"He has it, don't you guys use that thing too?"

Senior officials: “…”

They have never heard of that thing, where can they find it?

But facing the Crown Prince's wrath, no one dared to speak out and could only be scolded like a grandson.

Finally, someone who had been scolded like a dog came up and came up with a bad idea, "Your Highness, I have a plan. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Chu Jingce calmed down a little.

"Since Ji Huaichuan is very capable in attacking a city, we should use our wits to attack them from behind. I have already thought of a way. We just need to send a team of sharp-witted people to burn Ji Huaichuan's food supplies. Then they will have to go back obediently, right?"

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants, they will be easy prey without food and supplies, and you can take advantage of the victory to capture Ji Huaichuan in one fell swoop!"

Chu Jingce's mouth curled up slowly. He was overjoyed and patted the official who gave the idea on the shoulder. "In that case, how about I give this task to you? If you can't do it well, you will be beheaded and brought to me!"

The official trembled with fear and quickly rolled down to take care of the matter.

When the other officials saw that someone was taking the lead, they all laughed so hard that they shook with laughter and patted their horses.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly wise and intelligent!"

"With you here, Ji Huaichuan is just a clown. Are you still afraid of him?"

Chu Jingce enjoyed it very much. He sat back in the main seat, enjoying the flattery with a smug look in his eyes.

Thousands of miles away in the wild.

As night fell, Ji Huaichuan planned to celebrate properly, so he organized a bonfire dinner. All kinds of delicious food such as chicken, duck, fish and goose were placed on the table. The soldiers sang and danced, drank and played drinking games, and the atmosphere was extremely high.

Song Wanqing also drank a little wine, her fair face flushed, and her eyes fell quietly on the dancing flames.

The moon in the sky is round, and its cold moonlight makes people feel sad.

Counting it up, she has been on the expedition for more than a month.

During this period, I have never had any contact with Cheng Qian'an, and I don't know how he is living in Xuancheng, or whether his mental state has recovered.

But with Yan Chu around, she wasn't too worried.

It's just... I miss you a little.

Song Wanqing lowered her eyes, a strange feeling spreading in her heart. She drank a sip of wine in one gulp, and the burning sensation burned through her heart, only making her feel more uncomfortable.

What kind of wine can relieve sorrow? It obviously makes you more sorrowful!

Her face turned red and she couldn't cough for a long time.

A bowl of water suddenly appeared in front of her. Ji Huaichuan smiled teasingly, "Wanqing, you can't drink, so drink less. If something happens, your husband might take my life."

"I want... ahem! None of your business!"

Song Wanqing rolled her eyes at him unhappily, took the water and drank it down in big gulps, which slightly relieved the spiciness.

Ji Huaichuan sat beside her, looking deeply at the singing and dancing soldiers, and for the first time, an expression of complexity and relief appeared on his face.

It's like the feeling of an old person looking at his many children and grandchildren.

Song Wanqing realized this and couldn't help but curl his lips. Just as he was about to open his mouth to tease him, a soldier suddenly came hurriedly to report.

"General Ji, this is bad! The thieves attacked us and burned our food supplies!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Ji Huaichuan in surprise.

"Come on, follow me to take a look!" Ji Huaichuan frowned and hurried to the back with Song Wanqing.

I saw a flame that burned almost half of the food and grass, and the whole sky turned half red.

Ji Huaichuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the cold light in his eyes was as chilling as a knife. He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Catch him, dead or alive!"

The soldiers were in a panic. The burning of food supplies meant that their retreat was cut off.

Some people began to despair, murmuring: "What...what should we do now? We have no food or fodder left. Can we still go back?"

For an army of over ten thousand people, being out of food for one day would be fatal. If someone launches a surprise attack, it is not impossible that the entire army would be wiped out!

Song Wanqing glanced at her coldly and scolded her in a deep voice: "If you continue to talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army, you will be punished by military law!"

The man shut up.

The few people who burned the food and grass were quickly captured and thrown rudely in front of Ji Huaichuan and Song Wanqing.

They stole the soldiers' uniforms from somewhere and looked at Ji Huaichuan with smugness on their faces, with a somewhat crazy smile in their eyes.

Ji Huaichuan's brows were as cold as winter. He walked closer and asked, "Tell me the truth about who sent you here. If you are honest, I can consider sparing your lives!"

"You wish!" One of them spat and was about to chew.

Ji Huaichuan quickly grabbed his chin, and with a "click", the man's jaw was removed.

His eyes widened in pain and the poison fell out of his mouth.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the other few people wanted to commit suicide by taking medicine, but it was too late.

Ji Huaichuan's movements were incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, several people had their jaws dislocated and could only scream in pain.

But they have completed their mission and now they can die without regrets!

One of them uttered a word with difficulty.

"Your death date has come! Hahahahaha!"
