Chapter 797 Night Attack

Ye Qingtong lived outside the camp, with only Xiangdong as her maid.

Quan Qingyun had to attend court every day, and after court he would rush here as much as possible, and stayed in the camp at night.

There was no other way. After all, there were only men here and it was in the suburbs. He was not at ease leaving Ye Qingtong here anyway.

Although he is also a man, but... he is still a real relative after all.

Ye Qingtong is not inferior to anyone when it comes to joking, and he is also not inferior to anyone when he is serious.

After she settled down in the tent, she found a high ground outside the camp during the day and watched the soldiers training from afar, writing and drawing with a pen and paper. In order to support her, Quan Qingyun also assigned her a deputy captain to talk to her.

The deputy captain had followed General Ye for many years. Although he was not promoted due to his personal ability, he was very loyal to the Ye family, kind-hearted, and most importantly, eloquent. Quan Qingyun had tasted the team after taking over. This deputy captain might not be very good at killing the enemy, but he was very knowledgeable when it came to theoretical operations.

When he was sent to Ye Qingtong this time, the deputy captain was quite unhappy at first. He thought that the Third Prince was most likely taking revenge on him deliberately and must have sent him to serve such a little girl because he disliked him.

But after following Ye Qingtong for two days, he found that this little girl was not an ordinary little girl. She was really good at drawing military training diagrams and battle formation diagrams. He didn't know if it was because they were standing high above him, but he felt that sometimes the angles of Ye Qingtong's drawings were very tricky, which allowed him to see some problems in the team. So he put aside his complaints about the Third Prince and began to discuss military tactics with Ye Qingtong. He did his best to explain to Ye Qingtong what formations and strategies they were currently using for military training, and then humbly asked: "Do you think there is still room for improvement?"

Ye Qingtong nodded, "Yes." Then she told him her thoughts.

Ye Qingtong was indeed quite good at this, otherwise General Ye would not have valued his granddaughter so much. Just because the general won a battle on the day she was born, it would be impossible for her to be valued by the general for more than ten years.

The reason why she could stand out among the children of the Ye family was actually due to her talent in military tactics and formations.

Old General Ye had long seen that his granddaughter had talent in this area. After all, her father Ye Jinggui was a capable person in this area, and the child inherited some talent. In addition, the old general would give her advice whenever he had time. Although Ye Qingtong had never been to the battlefield since she was a child, she had indeed learned a lot of theoretical knowledge.

But the old general was not often in the capital, and the general was not often in the capital. The grandmother at home would nag my mother whenever she had something to do. My mother was too busy dealing with her mother-in-law to take care of them. In addition, she was always thinking about the Sixth Prince, and Quan Qinglu was a troublesome person. She spent all her time competing with Quan Qinglu, so her academic studies were neglected.

Now that she was living a new life, her state of mind was different and the overall environment of Northern Qi had also changed, so she was determined to pick up the pieces of the puzzle. Unexpectedly, she was able to do it easily without feeling any effort at all.

After watching the soldiers train for seven consecutive days, Ye Qingtong had an idea in mind. He would spend the next few days in seclusion studying military tactics.

Quan Qingyin came to see her many times. Not every day, but at least every other day. Once he came twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. He always brought food, saying it was to nourish her body.

Ye Qingtong wanted to send him away, but then she thought that she couldn't waste such a sucker. Besides, this man owed her a life debt, which could never be repaid in her lifetime, so why should she be polite to him? So she said to Quan Qingyin: "If you want to send something, don't just send it to me. There are so many people in the camp, and I can't eat while being watched by others. Besides, whether I can stay well here and whether they can treat me well, it's not enough to rely on the favors of the Ye family, but also need some practical things. I think if you can give them an extra meal every now and then, and give them some meat from time to time, then they can treat me better for your sake."

Quan Qingyin thought this made sense, so he came again the next day and drove a hundred sheep to the camp.

Quan Qingyun tried to hold back his laughter, and almost got internal injuries. But the soldiers were really laughing, after all, they were real meat!

In this way, the Sixth Prince became a frequent visitor to the camp and also became Ye Qingtong's free master.

But as Ye Qingtong used this free master, he felt that something seemed to be wrong.

She was going to marry the Sixth Prince, so she knew exactly how capable the Sixth Prince was. Although in her mind, the Sixth Prince was like a schizophrenic, sometimes good and sometimes bad, she had more contact with the bad part, so she knew that the Sixth Prince was just as bad as her.

But it is precisely because of this clarity that she is now questioning her life.

Because the Sixth Prince in front of him knew too much, he was very knowledgeable about the art of war, and he had his own unique insights on the formation. It was easy for him to arrange the troops and formations. She would usually have to think about the difficult points for several hours, but he could give a correct answer in just a cup of tea.

Ye Qingtong's heart began to beat fast, and the "possibility" that had been bothering him for more than half a year came to his mind again.

Quan Qingyun has not returned to Beijing for these days, one to see Ye Qingtong, and the other to see Quan Qingyin.

He was afraid that Quan Qingyin approached Ye Qingtong with some purpose, and if he hurt him again, it would be fatal.

But after watching for a few days, I didn't find any bad intentions, but was tossed around by Ye Qingtong. Quan Qingyin worked hard without complaint, and Ye Qingtong was never soft-hearted. This combination seems to be a good match at the moment.

But he didn't know how all this would end once the affair between the Sixth Prince, the Regent, and Concubine Li was exposed in the near future.

The more Quan Qingyun thought about it, the more upset he became. He simply ignored this and went back to the camp to train his soldiers. He thought that he had never worked so hard before when he was fighting for the throne. What on earth was he doing now? He didn't know what had happened to Ye Feizhou. There was no news at all. That guy was really getting cocky now. He was like a dog, and he would disappear if he let go.

Ye Qingtong also wanted to make it clear to Quan Qingyin about his hard work: "You have seen that I am using you now, using your talent and your money. But you cheated me before, and now I am using you, and you deserve it. You are teaching me the art of war and seeking benefits for the soldiers in the camp, but I will not give you any reward. And those meats, vegetables, etc. will not be counted on you. I have told the Third Prince that those things should be said to the outside world that he sent them to the camp, and the money spent was from the Renwang Palace. If someone misunderstood that you paid for it before, I will correct them.

Also, don't expect me to be nice to you, you are nothing to me!"

Quan Qingyin nodded, "Qingtong, you don't have to be nice to me, just don't chase me away."

He stayed here for a long time, but the regent's people came one after another, all asking him to go back to court.

But Quan Qingyin said: "There is the emperor and so many ministers in the court. Why should I, an idle prince, go to the court? I won't go!"

While the Regent was angry, he was also feeling uneasy. The women of the Ye family were all troublemakers. In the past, there was the Fourth Miss Ye, and now there is the Second Miss Ye. Can his son ever escape from this pit of the Ye family?

That night, Quan Qingyun was going back to the capital. After all, he had stayed in the camp for too long, and he still had government affairs to deal with. There was also a lot of things waiting for him to decide in the Prince Ren's Palace, not to mention that he had to go back to see if there was anything wrong with Quan Qingcheng.

But he was worried about Ye Qingtong, so he persuaded her to go back to Beijing with him.

Ye Qingtong did not go back, and said to him: "I created a formation by myself, and modified two large formations that you deployed twice during training. These few days are the critical moment, and it will be completed in two or three days at most. When the time comes, Your Highness will talk to the soldiers and see if they can practice it for me. If not, we will modify it."

Quan Qingyun said, "We must return to Beijing today. We have to attend the morning court tomorrow. You should go back with me first and we will come back in two days."

Ye Qingtong disagreed, so he got a little angry and said, "If I leave, no one will take care of you here."

"You didn't take care of me when you were here! Okay, okay, go back quickly. I have Xiangdong here. If all else fails, I still have the Sixth Prince."

It would be fine if he didn't mention the Sixth Prince. Once he mentioned the Sixth Prince, Quan Qingyun thought, even if he couldn't get rid of Ye Qingtong, he would get rid of Quan Qingyin! Anyway, they couldn't stay alone in the camp, he was worried. If anything happened, Ye Wenyan and the others would tear him apart when they came back. Even Ye Feizhou couldn't let him go!

So Quan Qingyun took his "sixth brother" away and arranged a team of soldiers and the deputy captain Liu Qi to guard outside the tent to ensure Ye Qingtong's life safety.

But even with such precautions, Ye Qingtong's tent was still attacked on the night that Quan Qingyun returned to the capital.

There were five assassins in total, all of them were experts. Ye Qingtong dodged here and there under the protection of the deputy captain Liu Hu, and was in great danger.

Liu Qi was anxious and pulled Ye Qingtong's arm to enter the camp, but Ye Qingtong refused: "It is agreed that women are not allowed to enter the military camp. The Third Prince is not here, so I can't break the rules privately. It will be difficult for you to do it then."

Liu Qi stamped his feet anxiously, "It's already this late, who cares about that? These people are at least Jingwei, we can't protect you with just a few people."

It was indeed impossible to protect him. While he was talking, one soldier was already injured, with a bloody cut on his arm...
