Ruan Xiaojiu was about to leave, but before leaving, in addition to taking Di Jingchen, who had to follow him, he also wanted to find some benefits for himself tonight.

Ruan Siqi saw that Ruan Xiaojiu's eyes were deep and thought to herself that he was here again, but when she thought that she would be away for a few days, she finally said nothing.

Di Jingchen needed to detoxify every day without interruption, so Ruan Xiaojiu went to Di Jingchen's room and explained the situation. Di Jingchen expressed that he understood, and the two of them packed up and set off the next day.

The martial arts of the two men had reached the pinnacle, and were no match for ordinary horses. So they galloped all the way and finally arrived at Qionghai City on the third day. The city gates had been closed for two days, and the most powerful generals in the city were unable to lead their troops to repel the Zidan army. After knowing that they had broken through two cities, they took the initiative to close the city gates and refrain from fighting, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties and wait for reinforcements from the court.

The walls of Qionghai City were as hard as iron and high, making it far from being as easy to attack as the Jusa City and Fuyang City that he had easily breached. Ye Tingyi had thought that there would be a fierce battle when he arrived at the border, but he had not expected that he would easily capture two cities. Now he had come to the outside of the third city, followed by thirty armies. The two victories had already boosted the morale of the army, and now he was thinking about how to capture this city.

It was getting dark, and the city gate showed no sign of opening. The people inside had no intention of coming out to fight. It seemed that they had to attack by force. However, the walls of Qionghai City were strong, and they could not think of the best way to take it down. They could only retreat five miles, set up camp on the spot, and think of a countermeasure.

Ruan Xiaojiu and Di Jingchen took advantage of the night to sneak into the city and went directly to the city lord's mansion to meet with the city lord. When the city lord saw Ruan Xiaojiu holding out the token, he was somewhat disdainful. He had heard of Ruan Xiaojiu's character and achievements, but he still had to be respectful on the surface. In his heart, he really looked down on him. He explained the current situation and said, "Your Highness, the people in the city are in panic, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians is low. Do you have any solutions?" He didn't believe that Ruan Xiaojiu could single-handedly fight his way into the enemy army, but due to his status, he could only obey.

Ruan Xiaojiu folded her sleeves, leaned back in her chair, and with a professional smile on her face, she glanced at the city lord. The city lord appeared respectful on the surface, but Ruan Xiaojiu could see the indifference in his tone. She simply didn't want to pay attention. "Prepare two rooms and some food. Let's wash up, eat, and rest for a while." She had been traveling for two days and two nights, and she was filthy. She wanted to wash up first and have a nice meal. She glanced at Di Jingchen. Although he was also dusty, he didn't look disheveled, and he looked very satisfied.

As the poison in Di Jingchen's body slowly dissolved, and the two of them were so close to each other, she discovered that there was a special faint fragrance emanating from Di Jingchen's body. The fragrance was light and elegant, penetrating her soul and constantly attracting her. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the fragrance was somewhat similar to the smell of Ruan Siqi, but the taste was different.

Two hours later, the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill. Di Jingchen stayed in his room to continue detoxifying, while Ruan Xiaojiu returned to the meeting room. After reading the information provided by the City Lord, she didn't want to quickly deal with the other party, as that would be too boring. It was not easy to come out here, so she had to have fun!

Last time, because her wedding was approaching, they came at the wrong time, which resulted in her not being in the mood to waste time with them. This time, she was not in a hurry and had to have a good time.

What's the point of fighting? Hide and seek is fun. Ruan Xiaojiu's eyes flashed with excitement. Thinking of this, she curled her lips, feeling that it would be very interesting.

The next morning, Ye Tingyi led his troops to attack the city. Since the city lord was a coward, he wouldn't hesitate. Just as they were about to fire flaming arrows into the city to cause chaos and allow their troops to scale the walls, the city gates flew open. What was going on? Ye Tingyi was puzzled, and the soldiers were even more bewildered. But wouldn't opening the gates make the attack much easier? So why were they still hesitating?

Ye Tingyi felt something was wrong. General Xiao was also a little confused and approached Ye Tingyi, "Seventh Prince, is there a trick here?"

The soldiers behind him were ready to move, and Ye Tingyi was also a little hesitant, fearing an ambush. He raised his hand to stop the restlessness behind him, and thought for a moment, "Wait a moment first."

General Xiao had never encountered such a situation before. He knew the attack on Qin was hopeless, yet he still had to fight, which had left him somewhat sluggish. "Seventh Prince, the city gates are wide open, but no one is coming out. I suspect there must be some kind of trap."

He is General Zidan. It is not his style to lose without fighting. He cannot retreat even if he dies on the battlefield.

Ye Tingyi frowned tightly. This was obviously a strategy of the other party. He didn't know what happened in the city. If he entered this small city with his martial arts and military strength, it would be better if the other party sent troops to fight him.

A moment later, a young general rode forward. He was the newly promoted deputy general. He came before Ye Tingyi's horse and said, "Seventh Prince, I am willing to lead a team of soldiers to investigate. It seems that no one will come out if we wait here. Why don't I be the vanguard to see what the situation is."

Ye Tingyi was still a little hesitant, but he had to do it. Just waiting like this was not a solution. He nodded lightly and said, "Be careful."

The deputy general led more than a hundred people in, and then...

"Seventh Prince, Lieutenant General Liu and his men have been inside for almost half an hour. Why haven't they come out yet? Even if they can't come out, there should be some noise! Do you think they are in danger?" General Xiao was getting a little restless. It had been so long and not even a sound had been heard. He was afraid that something bad might happen.

Ye Tingyi also knew that something must have happened inside. He held the reins tightly. He knew that there was something fishy going on and his face looked very unhappy.
